"LADIES OF QUALITY "
Fred Sullens of The Jackson News, in his lucid intervals, when his
mind is not distracted with political rabbles, takes a very clear view of
some things. For instance we take the following from the editorial col
umns of the News:
''Still a new social distinction—new on this side of the Atlantic—comes
from New York.
"Col. John Jacob Astor has bought a $12,000 engagement ring for his
bride-elect, and it is asserted that he will endow her with jewels 'worthy
of any lady of quality in the land.'
"We believe in 'ladies of quality,' in a way, but we fear our ideas and
Col. Astor's do not accord.
''Is a 'lady of quality' in the New York sense a member of that band
of several thousand who constitute the Four Hundred? Is she a member
of the smart sets of the cities? We do not believe so by any manner of
means.
"The real lady of quality is of course, the good woman. Her jewels are
modesty and virtue and kindness, and she may have none of the lesser
kind, which come from the lapidary.
"She may, by chance, belong to a Four Hundred, somewhere—even in
New York. But on the other hand, she may be the housewife at a remote
railroad crossing; she may be the mother of the boy who sells newspa
pers; s he may be the wife of the man who goes to the senate; she may
be the widow of the man who went to the galows.
"She may be found anywhere, and she is honored most when she is re
ferred to simply as a 'good woman.' Let us reject New York's reference
to 'the lady of quality,' since it implies a kind of quality which does not
count in America."
*
THE CHANGING SOUTH
The Nashville Tennessean points to census figures
the prejudice against Southern farm lands becausç of the large negro pop
ulation is rapidly disappearing, and in consequence the white farmer is
rapidly displacing the negro tenant in the Southern States.
Collier's Weekly also calls attention to this fact in a recent editorial,
pointing out that in the last decade the whites in the rural portons of the
South have increased 15.4 per cent, while the negroes in the same section
increased only 6.8 per cent.
"Farmers in the Mississippi Valley," these exchanges observe, "who
own Illinois, Iowa and Missouri corn land that will bring $100 an acre have
discovered that equally good land can be had in many parts of the South
for one-fifth that price. The movement of Northern farmers into the South
is gradually working out along economic lines.
South is inevitable,
South Carolina and other South Atlantic States showed an increase of
138 per cent in crop values in the last decade, as against an increase of
only 6.6 per cent in the States of the Central West.
"Opportunity lies in the South. Its development has been retarded, and
consequently its possibilities for improvement are greater than in any
other section. Its farms, its water power, its minerals, await the hand of
the empire builder.

BAILEY RESIGNS AGAIN
Not satisfied with the unsympathetic reception with which his resigna
tion from the Senate was. received some months ago, Senator Bailey of
Texas has resigned some more. This time he relinquishes his position on
the National Monetary Commission, assigning as his reason that he does
majority of its members and that he
with
not
would not have time to prepare a dissenting report by December 4, the
agree
date on which the commission will probably be discharged. Nobody cares
whether Bailey resigns or remains a member of the commission, but the
excuse he gives, if such it may be called, is so exceedingly lame as to ap
proach the ridiculous. The Texan has been a member of the commission
since it was authorized under the act of congress approved May 30,
ever
1908, thus he has had three years in which to study the matters considered
by that body. Even if he has just discovered that he differs radically
with a majority of the commission, there are yet nearly four months left
in which he could compile his minority report. A more plausible and hon
est reason for Mr. Bailey's resignation would be that he has lost his former
position of esteem in the Senate and Is smarting under this loss of influence.
I
An exchange notes that in the recent senatorial election in Mississippi
132,891 votes were cast, whereas in the presidential election in 1908 "only
The implication is that
67,936 voters were moved to go to the polls."
the people of Mississippi are more interested In state affairs than in those
, 0 f the nation, but the conclusion does not necessarily follow. There is
really no necessity for sixty thousand people voting in the presidential
, election in this state because the republican party, having no party organ
' lzatlon here, polls a vote that Is comparatively not worthy of notice. In
deed, many republicans in the state do not vote at all, since they know their
ballot would be thrown away. Whenever there Is a necessity for it, the people
of Mississippi will poll as large a vote for president as any state in union
In proportion to the population.
One of the most gigantic road building enterprises ever undertaken was
started today in Tennessee when thousands of volunteers all over the state
joining hands In building a highway from Memphis to Bristol
will spend two days on the work and by tomorrow night expect the road to
be completed. The distance from Memphis to Bristol is more than five hun-
dred miles and the road will go through nearly all the Important towns in
the state. This spirit of co-operation and enterprise on the part of our
Tennessee neighbors should be an object lesson for the people of Missis-
sippi, and it Is to be hoped the JackBOn to Gulfport highway will follow
If Tennessee can do it, we can do it. Let's do it.

A few days ago a poll was taken of the Georgia legislature as to choice
Presidential nominee, and "1o, Woodrow Wilson's name led ail the

Editor Daily News:
I would thank you very much indeed
to correct a statement in your issue of
Saturday in regard to "Undertakers
Dispute." There was no undertakers
dispute. Mr. Ramsey did not secure
replevin papers nor did he refuse to
pay fifteen dollars for work supposed
to be done by the Hulett Undertaking
Co. After the Hulett Undertaking Co.
refused to turn the body over on my
written order I asked Mr. Ramsey
how I could secure possession of my
child as I did not want the Hulett Co.
to have anything to do with it and
had not ordered them to do anything.
Mr. Ramsey very kindly informed me
how to proceed and 1 secured the pa
pers myself and refused to pay them
the fifteen dollars.
I regret that this has to be pub
lished, bu' Mr. Ramsey should not he

A BALKY MULE.
A wholesale feed house owned a
balky mule named Napoleon, and em
ployed an old negro named Abe, to
drive him.
One day when Napoleon balked and
old Abe had spent his energies on
him for an hour in the vain endeavor
to get him to start, Abe went into a
store to telephone his employers.
The following was Abe's end of the
conversation:
"Please, marm, gimme number two

Henry? Yesslr, dis is Abe. I dun
