Washington, delivered at Holly Springs, Miss., the Houston Chronicle says: "The Tuskegee teacher has done much to uplift his race. He has in sisted in season and out of season that the salvation of the 8,000,000 or 9,000,000 negroes in our Southern states lies in work and not in politics. Too many darkies of Dixie have be infected with the abolitionist come idea that the possession of the ballot makes a good citizen and that all the Booker Wash virtues are in voting, ington has made himself a great lead er of the race recognized by the South, by the North and by all the world be cause he has preached of the negro's duty rather than his rights. South if he does his duty he gets In the his rights." Many people and papers at the North would be better able to judge of the race problem if they would read the following from the speech referred to, in whidta race peace in stead of race war is preached and which is heartily approved and in dorsed by the best Southern men: "Both races in the South suffer at the hands of public opinion in one respect, and that is by reason of the fact that the outside world hears of our dif ficulties, hears of crime, hears of mobs and lynchings. but the outside world does not hear of, neither does it know about the evidences of law and order, the evidences of racial friendship and good will which exist in the majority of the communities of Mississippi and Wthern states where black and other S that one can find another section of the globe where two races which are so dissimilar in many respects dwell together In so large numbers, where they get on better in all the affairs of life, than they do in our Southern states." We need more good will between the races and we are entering upon an era of good will. If the negroes could be made to deliyer up to Juc tice instead of hiding the criminals of thtir race, negro crimes and lynch ing! would diminish. Let the negro remember that while, as Booker Washington says, "the whole country owes a debt of grati tude to the negro for his work in the early period of America," the negro owes a great deal to Southern white people. The great negro educator's book, "Up From Slavery," ought to bear as its title "Up Through Slavery." Slavery taught the negro to work and nothing else could have done so. In preaching he gospel of work Booker Washington is but continuing the leaching of which slavery laid the The South also fiitn foundation, taught the negro the Christian re ligion, the English language and Chris tian civilization. Compare the South fin negro, as he is today, taking the bast and the worst types together, with his unclad African brother with club and gun and cannibal appetite, and you will be able to estimate the negro's debt to the South. ♦ Editor B.

At the end of the first half the score was nothing to nothing and the JACKSON CRIED FOIIL; FIST FIGHT FOLLOWED Local Football Team Forfeited the Game After Having Jackson Almost Defeated. The local high school football team was declared the loser in the Thanks giving football game with the Jack son high school at that place yester day. The game was forfeited to Jack son because of some unpleasantness that occurred during the game and the Hattiesburg boys think they got the worst of the deal. In the first half neither team scored, Hattiesburg keeping the pigskin in Jackson's territory during all the half. During the second half Magruder, of Jackson, claimed that Anderson of the Hattiesburg team kicked him. An derson denied it and Magruder struck him.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has teen able to cure in all Its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Ca tarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken Inter nally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of tbe system, thereby destroying the foundation of i he disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constltik tion and assisting nature in doing its work.

C. had the ball within one foot of the opponents' goal line and failed to buck over the strong line of the Mississippi Medicos and the ball went to the Medicos, who punted to the field and the first half ended. In the Becond half, the Medicos braced up greatly and several times the 8. M. C. goal was in danger. A beautiful forward pass was pulled off In the last half, which practically re ble, Shields running up and striking Anderson in the face. Finally, the trouble was quieted. The umpire called Anderson and Magruder out and notified Capt. Bennett of the local team, that he had two minutes to get a substitute in the field. Bennett refused to continue the game unless the umpire suspended every partici pant in the game. The referee then forfeited the gamd to Jackson, 1 to 0. Had the umpire suspended Shields from the game as he should have done, the Hattiesburg boys believe they would have won. This is the version given by members of the lo cal team. M. Doherty last night arrested Fred Powell, former cashier of the defunct bank at Magee. He was carried to the city hall and was afterwards turned over to Sheriff Magruder and it is said that efforts are being made today to make his bond. The receiver of the bank had brought suit against the surety com pany on Powell's bond and judgment was entered Thursday morning and hence it Is presumed that the arrest is at the instigation of the bond com pany. The amount of the shortage Is supposed to be about $10,000. Powell attended the trial and was en route to his home in Columbus, when arrested.
