JAMES s. DOUGLAS SEEKS
 LOWER FREIGHT TO COAST

James s. Douglas, pioneer mining man of Arizona, was in Los Angeles last week to enlist support in fight for $5-a-ton freight rate on unre- fined copper from Arizona to the Port of Los Angeles.
 If the United States of America has serious regard for the revival of business and for the future of her mining and industrial industries, a complete readjustment of freight rates must be made at once," was the pungent statement made by MT. Doug las.
 At present we are entitled to a S5 rate on unrefned copper from Ari- zona to Los Angeles Harbor, and we are going after it, if we have to carry the controversy to Washington.
 'Think of it, the Pacific ocean comes within a few miles of washing the soil of the state of Arizona, and yet virtually the entire copper tonnage of the state goes 5000 miles by rail through the heaviest congestion of traffic to get to the Atlantic seaboard for refining.
 "We expect to open up the United Verde Extension mine within forty days on a schedule output of 1500 tons month and to employ 5000 men. and we want our entire shipment to come to Los Angeles.
 "The establishment of refinery would open up no end of manufac- tories where copper and brass are used, such as wire and sheet mills, and plants for making electrical applian- ces and storage batteries and numer- ous other lines of business subsidiary to the copper industry"

 In the meantime, steam shovel superintendent Vanderhoef is get ting his crews together, making the necessary changes in tracks, over hauling his machinery and attend ing to thousand and one details that necessarily accompany a re- sumption of work.

U.N.I.A.NEWS
BY George Manning

Dy &c
After a few remarks by Mr. J. N.
Smith in tribute to the late Colonel
Young, the meeting was addressed
by the Rev. Carlyle Stewart of Min
neapolis. The subject selected by
the speaker was "The Negro of Yes
terday, Today and Tomorrow
which he treated with thorough
ness that was commendable.
The Negro race is the only race
which is not organized for relief and
improvement as other races are, the
speaker declared. The fact that we
are unavoidably Negroes has been
impressed upon us by the Caucasians
in effort to make us think 1t cure,
and as a result large number of
our race feel that ii is disgrace to
be known as a Negro. He quoted
Meyers Ancient History. "The black
man is a hewer of wood and a
drawer of water for his more favor
ed brethren Some people have
come to the conclusion that this is
fact The dominant race has edu-
Gated the people to believe that all
that is white is pure and clean, while
black is accepted as the color repre-
senting impurity and evil deeds.
The people have apparently over
looked the fact that the Negro at
one time ruled the world. From the
beginning of written history the
Negro has played an important part.
The Egyptians, who were a black
race, were a ruling power of no
small Importance in the early days.
At that time deeds now unaccounta-
BILE were accomplished such as the
building of the pyramids and the
crossing of the Alps. The trouble
with the civilization of that time, as
pointed out by the speaker, was the
idol worship instead of the Christian
religion and ideals. The midnight
of slavery followed the downfall of
the dark race. Late in last CEN
tury came the ray of light as the
religion of the true God sifted in to
the brain of the Negro.
The Negro who denies his race be-
cause of the fact that they have once
been slaves needs to look back at
the records and see that all the races
of history have once been slaves and
such a thing is no worthy base for
disgrace such as has been instilled
in our minds by the other race.
The speaker then made clear that
we are responsible for what we are
today and it is up to US to make
way for ourselves SO that we may
not always be a despised people.
This is only to be accomplished by
real work and not by bloody actions,
although we need to learn the old
Sparton inspiration which taught the
youth to fight to win and to bring
back his shield or be brought back
on it. We can look back with pride
upon the history of all ages and find
our race men have left worthy marks
in all lines. The Negro of today is
on trial, and the Negro of tomorrow
will be the results Of the Negro to-
day. Many people think we are too
Cody a race and that we should be
more willing to fight, but remember
that the nation that forgets God
must surely die; so we must govern
ourselves accordingly.
The program was closed with a
well rendered reading from Paul
Laurence Dunbar by Miss l.. M.
Moore entitled, "The Party"

BASEBALL SEASON
TO OPEN MONDAY
Mississippi College to Play Uni
versity of Florida Here
April 10th.

Brookhaven is to see some real
baseball Monday when the Mississip-
pi College team will play the Univer-
sity of Florida. Not much is known
of the Florida lads except that they
have good college ball record and
will play all the principal Southern
Colleges this year. There are sew
eral familiar figures on the Missis-
sippi College team, however. Tom
Gulley, who plays center, is local
boy, and with Edwards, who played
with Hazlehurst last season, will pro-
badly be seen in big league company
this year, both players having sign
ed up with the Cleveland Indians. 1t
is not known who will do the slab
work for the Choctaws, but local
fans are hoping to see Edwards
work.
Other players with Mississippi Col
lege who performed here last season
are Cooper, who played first base for
D'Lo; Lambright, Bogalusa pitcher,
and Busby, who was with the Sum-
rail- team.
The game will be called at $3.50.
The ground is in good shape and
Mr.. T. c. Brister, secretary of the
Brookhaven Baseball Association is
making all necessary arrangements.
Local fans are on their toes in ex-
pectation of hearing the "Play Ball"
order, and are getting their voices
tuned UP to the necessary pitch to
do some real roofing.
It is expected that this game will
draw good crowds from out of town,
as it is the first game of consequence
in this section this season.

The American Federation of Labor
is trying to get the Prohibition law
repealed Now we are brother to
every man who works and have high
regard for unions that seek the good
of their members, but if union labor
is going into partnership with the
liquor business, there 1t will lose the
sympathy and support Of the best
people of this country. To our per-
sonal knowledge, the worst enemy
that some of the labor unions have
is this same liquor business, and the
worst thing that can befall them is
friendship with liquor. We do not
believe that laboring men in this part
of the country will support any pro-
liquor fight, and we hope they will
speak out in opposition to any effort
to repeal the Volstead law. There
is no more chance Of repeating the
volstead law than Of impeaching the
President OF the United States
Baptist Record.

Formal Opening of New
Community Hospital Tomorrow
Address by Dr.. Boswell at Hampton Audi
torium---Pubic Invited to Inspect
Hospital Building.

Formal opening exercises OF Brook
haven's Community Hospital will DC
held tomorrow, DR.. Henry Boswell OF
| the State tuberculosis Sanitarium
will give an address in the hampton
Auditorium, after which the public
is invited to visit the institution.
The thirty four thousand dollar
building is owned by the City OF
Brookhaven, which issued bonds for
it's erection, and will be operated by
the Kings Daughters who have leas-
ed it for twenty-five years.
The Hospital board is composed OF
Mrs. S. j. Hoskins, president of the
Kings Daughters; Mrs. H. V. Wall,
chairman; Mines. e. M. Bee, F. H.
Hartman and M. Flippen. Miss Maud
Drummer, graduate of the Massachu-
setts General Hospital and post grad
uate of the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
former superintendent of the Lucy
Brinkley Hospital, Memphis, is SUI
perintendent and there are eight stu
dent nurses, one of whom, Miss Lille
Ainsworth, is within three months of
graduation, having pursued her stu
dies at a Memphis hospital during
the interval between the closing of
the old and the opening of the pres
ent Brookhaven Hospital.
The Kings Daughters in 1914 as
sumed management of the hospital
built and operated several years by
Jones, now of Jackson, and continued
it until 1920. In that year they pur-
chased the S. Kohlman residence pro-
>perty for temporary hospital, and
maintained 1t until August 4, 1921,
closing it so that the new building
might be erected upon the site.
The organization has been untir-
ing in presenting the need for large
modern hospital and working toward
its realization. When the bond mar
ket was so poor that it was impossi-
BILE to sell the bonds issued by the
city, at par as required by law, they
made up the deficit of about $4,000
with funds from the Kings Daugh-
ters treasury.
Eugene Mccormick drew the plans
for the hospital. The lowest bid re-
ceived by the city board for the con-
struction was fifty thousand. Be-
cause of his interest in his home
IO"hJ VhNSO1 I1lASh OupOA VI
fered to act as supervising architect
upon a commission, and did two
thousand dollars worth of additional
work not required in the contract, so
that the building, as it stands today,
represents value much greater than
the thirty four thousand actually
paid.
Mayor R. S. Butler and Aldermen
F. H. Hartman, C. e. Day, J. S. Penn,
R. L. Davis and P. L. Farrell have
shown great interest in the hospital
movement, as have the local physi-
clans and citizens of Brookhaven and
Lincoln county.
The four thousand dollars anual
maintenance voted by the State Leg
islature at this session was a well
come acknowledgment of the hospit-
al service of the Kings Daughters.
The capacity Of the hospital is six
ty beds, and as furnished at present,
thirty-five are available.
The first floor contains the office,
waiting room, superintendent room,
mems ward, women's ward, bed
rooms, examining room, pharmacy,
and other apartments. The second
