Neanderthal
To Seek Seat
In US. Senate
From Jan. 10. 1857 Issue)

Cornpone p. Neanderthal, above
an outstanding Mississippian, has
announced that in 1860 he will be
candidate for the seat in the
United States Senate now held by
james oh eastland.
Cornpone said his complete
platform will follow at a later
GATE. In the meantime" he said
Il would like to point out that ]
got as much sense as the present
choice of the people of Missis-
sippi."
Cornpone is a seasoned politi-
clan, having served several terms
as a Justice of the Peace. He is a
graduate of Mississippi College,
and has never played basketball
against anyone except his own
kind.
Mr. Neanderthal is a charter
member of the Ku Klux Councils
of Mississippi, Inc, and is an ar
dent supporter of our way of life
Also, he has been quite successful
IN his chosen profession ;. coon
hunting. He has the beaver badge.
Indicative of his adroitness.
Cqrnpone stated for publication:
I'VE got to keep those which are
MT like us in their place."
Political circles in the state ex-
pect Cornpone to give eastland a
run for his money, considering
that he is more typical of the Mis-
sissippi politician than anyone
else. Also, said informed sources,
if Mr.. Neanderthal is given the
post as president of Mississippi
College he will withdraw from the
senate race. 3i d1A.
1.-THE above announcement was
an error. this paper learned later.
Mississippi has already elected
Mr.. Neanderthal to the Senate.

/ reckon no one knows better than you that spent
tWentyone years in the public schools OF Mississippi
having entered the age of four and having stopped at
the the age of twenty-five.
But was took and I'm unhappy about it. l was
the victim of progressive education theory which has
caused me great unrest and is causing end
of unhappiness
Well last the great light is shining, and I'm begin
ming to clear my thinking bit. Praise God for the c
councils and especially for their paper of February
1857 which they point the way true happiness for
a southern boy!
Their paper Mama, carries Manual For South
erner and have long since been advocate of such
publication You remember last year when got caught
in that airpane with them Negroes? And didn't know
what to do, upon returning home suggested that the
council citizens put manual for fouled up South
erners such as me, you recall?
Well it's here and I'm SO happy. Salvation at last
They said that for too long Southern children have been
progressively educated to their origins aid the
for bi-racia society,"" And Mama the Manual
is this blight from which children of dark
age suffer Praise the Lord
The portion which appeared in the February 1857
issue of the paper is for grades three and four But
Mama, every adult SHOULD BE MADE TO READ 1T!
And especially them damnyankees ought to be made
read and understand it.
For your enlightenment l will quote few excerpts
from the Manual Too, will point out how much in
my progressive" teachers think the whole
educational system should be investigated and anyone
dSagreeng from the views stated in the manual should
be fired They dangerous to formative minds know
as do all Southerners, that there is but ONE way
there is but ONE truth there is but ONE way of life
worthwhile and that is oursl

Bastard Situation Is Reported
Better By Welfare Department

Figures made available from
the State Department of Public
Welfare are sometimes capable
of being misconstructed and re-
qulre elaboration or correction.
Recent accounts in the press
TO the effect that an estimated
5000 lllegitimate children have
been reinstated to the welfare
rolls presents a case in point.
From the low of 1868 children
receiving Aid to Dependent Chill
dren as of June 80 1856, to the
36,712 children receiving such
aid as of January 81, 1857. there
is indicated an increase of 3.I44
children receiving assistance. The
deduction that this represents
only reinstatement of Legitimate
children is in error. The fact is
that In the period covered only
549 children were in the IFS
homes determined by the County
Boards of Public Welfare to be
suitable and that these figures

MATES REINSTATED.

In this spirit. the Episcopal
Bishop of Louisiana Girault
M. Jones and two eminent
white colleagues proceeded
with the de-consecration Of the
Girod Street cemetery-first
non-C Catholic burial ground in
New Orleans.
The Episcopalian-own GEM
eterY had fallen into disuse an
disrepair. so it was decided to
remove the remaining corpses
elsewhere.
There was. however. a bit Of
a problem. In l822-the date Of
the facilitY's founding-the in
sensitive early Episcopalians
buried people on the assump-
ton they were dead and not
on the basis Of color. Accord
inglY. white and Negro shared
the same followed soil.
But the three latter day cler-
les. adorned in robes ceremon-
ial. rectified this ancient breach
Of taste. They personally saw
to il that the corpses went each
their separate-but-equal ways
to more suitable abodes: the
whites to Hope Mauyoleum. the

about the policy of the paper7
On January 10th of this year wrote the following
for the column East Side. which appears on the front

/. My views quite simple. L contend that FAIR,
NESS is the basis on which thinking should begin
in all human relationships hold that no person is
safe in his right to human dignity long any
group of persons is allowed force their will and
views other group of persons That is
it they can do to Them. then. by gollY they" can
do it you. And anyone who thinks that by JOINING
they he safe from getting done himself is just
plain whistlng Dixie in the dark. And darned poor
tune il is. too.
Of course know that where the difference lies is
in the concept of fairness" suppose there are as
many concepts of the word as there are people, And
to that end have few standards by which we can
go. Try reading the words of Christ without viewing
Him Southerner And then read the Bill of RIGHTS
and be to check and if says anything about
any special privileges to anyone. F.
So. quite basicallY that is it, insofar as I'm con-
cerned And all this about being "a Niger lover
or a Jew lover. and some other pet names which
have been used in describing is foolishness Please
understand this am not concerned with any single
race. color. religion" concerned with the
human heart and the right Of all persons to attain
human dignity at least in the eyes of God himself
and under equal and just laws.
Perhaps that isn't much of inducement I don't
know. But. basically that's the policy follow.
This sure is lowpressure selling. isn't il?
Well this know. you get along without The
Petal Paper but whether get along without you
is something else just may have to take Job with
the Ku Kux Councils writing about Our Way of LifA"
for them. Of I've been able in my thirty
five to learn just what our way of life" is 50
the chance is that I'd be flop.

They want you to have free country that you grow

Now Mama, don't you see what is causing nv con-
fusion which, in turn is causing my wholesale unhap-
piness? Here the truth is finally that God put this
tut-frut bunch off by themselves, and was taught
that the white man actually brought the Negro from
Africa to hoe his cotton taught in error out of
pure ignorance by teachers According to my instruction.
the white took the Negro out of the place where
God had put him and intended him to stay and began
selling him like sack of potatoes And Mama about
this business of white people coming to America
was taught the thing but understood that red
here and that the white took the land from
the red Since God put the red here could it
be that God really didn't intend him to be here? But
and heaven forgive me- didn't to Question the
TRUTH of the Manual I'm sorry But it was my teachers
fault
II AMERICA HAS FOUR PARTS
The United States of America has four parts There the
part in the North There the part in the East There the
part in the West And there is the part the South
country is very big. And white men built it all.

YOU ARE A SOUTHERNER
Do you know what Mississippi people called? We
called Southerners Southeers people who live in the
South You Southerner You live in the South.
Mama, is Mississippi bigger than the world?

what Mississippi people caled? is to me, in of

Choose Background With Care

unpatterned drapery would be
considered a neutral background
one that adds nothing to the
actual story value of your pic
ture, but serves merely as a plain
backdrop.
A natural background, on the
other hand, provides something
more. It's a setting for the action
being performed by the person
you're swapping and as such
adds its own storytelling ele-
ments to the picture. A shot of
little girl playing with a toy
baking set will be twice as effec-
tive taken right in the kitchen
the natural setting for such
''homemaking" tasks-than if she
were pictured holding her rolling
pin and cake pans on the front
porch.
Choosing your backgrounds
with care-and an eye on the
simple and uncluttered-will give
you a better picture every time.
So be sure to look behind your
subject before you click your
shutter!

One of the most important
questions you picture-takerS can
ask yourselves is: whats behind
it all?" No, we're not suggesting
you turn into a Sherlock Holmes
or a pSychoanalyst-we're just
recommending that you get into
the habit of looking behind your
subject as well as at it before you
shoot a picture.
In many instances-where ex-
posure, distance, viewpoint and
the subject are all the same-it's
the choice of background that de-
termines the success of the fin-
ished print. What are the best
backgrounds? Well, first of all,
simple ones-those that compile
ment rather than clutter your
picture story, while at the same
time offering some contrast in
color or brightness.
Next, according to the total
effect you want to create, decide
whether a neutral background or
a natural one is the more appro-
pirate. A sweep of blue sky or
green lawn, a painted wall or an
