Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer
LETTER FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
MEADv1LLE, Pa, Sept. 4, 49,

MEADVILLE, fa., Oept. 4, 1910.
Meadville is large and growing town or
the Atlantic and Great Western Broad Gauge
route, some three hundred miles from Cincin
natl, and five hundred from New York. II
is comparatively new place, being crea
ture of the remarkable railroad development
of the past decade.
Pennsylvania is thrifty State, and I some
times think it will outstrip all the others in
wealth before the close of this century. From
what we gather from the last census report
and adding the same ratio Of increase since
we find that the real and personal property in
Pennsylvania to-day is worth four Thousand
millions of dollars! This is sum greater
than the mind can comprehend; an aggregate
of wealth at once significant and startling. L
we look for causes for this wonderful growth
we find them to be, first, great natural resour
ces; second, their development by the contin
uous labor of the industrious population.
Much of the great wealth in Pennsylvania
to-day is due to the hardy foreigners who have
taken up their abode within her borders
There are over million forei gners, and their
descendants, in Pennsylvania, and the value Of
their labor in the development of the resour'
ces of the State cannot be estimated.
This class of population is needed in the
South. The presence of a hundred thousand
industrious German emigrants in South Car
olina would be worth to you untold millions
A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER.
This has been one of the coldest summers
ever experienced by the oldest inhabitants
There are many counties in this State where
there has been frost every month, yet not Of
sufficient severity to effect growing crops. AT
this writing the thermometer marks 75', which
indicates more than usual warmth. 840 is the
highest have seen it this summer in this
State and that only for day. One day it was
S20; but save these it has been below SO0 all
the season. In the large cities it has of course
been much warmer but when you are con-
venient to rural breezes and forest shade, there
has not been day this summer, in this latl'
tude, unpleasantly warm.
In consequence of the cool weather the sum-
mer resorts have not been as we'll patronized
this summer as last. But the tide Of Euro
pean travel has been largely augmented. This
is rather foolish than otherwise. We have
such splendid country, so large, so broad, SO
ample, that the most discontented spirit can

THE AFRICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY.


is in the United States, society which bears
the above title. 1t was organized on the 1st
January, 1917, and incorporated, March %,
1887. The organization building is at 450
Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. G..
The exclusive object which the society has in
view, is to assist colored people of the United
States to colonize Africa. This society is no
sham. 1t has been at work for half centu-
ry, and has, to-day, large colony in Africa
to show as the fruits of its labors. At stated
periods, expeditions are dispatched to Liberia.
From the african Repository we learn that
ono of these expeditions will be sent on the
1st November, 1873. To industrious and
worthy people of color, the society will give a
passage and subsistence on the voyage-made
in about forty days-and support for the first
six months after landing. Single adult per-
sons get ten acres, and families twenty-five
acres of land. These are all gifts never to be
repaid"
We do not call attention to this subject
with the design of either advising any of the
colored people to 60 to Liberia, nor for dis
suading any of them from going if they are
so inclined. The subject is worthy Of careful
investigation both by the colored man and
the white man of the South. A few years
will settle the question whether it is possible
for two races of people to live in the same
country and enjoy the same privileges, and
both be equally prosperous. 1t is an expert
ment that, 50 far as we know, never was made
before. We are not speaking of this subject
with any reference whatever to its present
political aspect. 1t involves principles and
consequences of far more Importance than
temporary political supremacy. We do not
believe that the colored man will ever be ex-
patriated. We do not believe that the at
tempt will ever be made to drive him from
the sunny South. The question, however, is,
can the white man and colored man live side
by side and both be prosperous? Will the
laws of nature allow such state of things
How did the experiment succeed in the case
of the red man and the white man? History
answers the question. The condition of the
colored man in the South is by no means an
enviable one. Notwithstanding his apparent
political power, he has more difficulties to
overcome before he can be anything but
newer of wood and drawer of water, than any
man on the face of the civilized earth. He is
the dupe ofdesigning and charlatan politicians,
and, with all, ignorant and miserably poor.
We do not lay these sins at his door. He
did not bring about the present state of things.
He could not help it. We sincerely pity him.
He is poor and needy, blind and naked, and
in need of all things, and yet he thinks he is
wise and rich. When all the facts in the case
are known, this is not to be wondered at.
Every good man pities the condition of the
poor Southern negro. His destiny is in the
future, and whatever it may be, it will deter
mine the destiny of the South, and possibly
of the whole United States.

ANEcDoTE OF THE LATE BEAU HICKMAN.
In his younger days he frequently went to
New York, and sometimes to Norfolk, Balti-
more and Richmond, where he would remain
a few weeks, invariably "beating" the land
lords out of their bills. Once he went to New
York with an acquaintance, an old sporting
man, and both put up at the first hotel in the
city. Beau was, as usual, splendidly gotten
up, and nine days elapsed before his bill was
presented. When it was, Beau took it to his
friend and said, "What am I to do? have
not got red." "Take this one thousand
dollar bill said his acquaintance, and offer to
pay your BILL" Beau did so, and the clerk
seeing him in possession of so large sum said,
"We can't change that; never mind, Mr..
Hickman, we can wait until you get the change
just as we'll as not" 1t is almost unnecessary
to say that while the clerk was waiting for the
change Beau beat his way back to his old
stamping ground in Washington.

The natives of land like ours cut ridiculous
figures sailing over the great deep to find some

1t is estimated that the Americans now in
Europe will spend fifteen millions of dollars

better Contemplate or own scenery and

How to Preserve Fence-POsts.

EVERY farmer who has to fence in his
land knows too well how quickly posts
planted in the earth become rotten, especi-
ally in a damp spot All of them will
welcome the following process to prevent
rottenness, a process as wonderful in its
effects as it is simple and almost costless.
1t is taken from LIE B&e1o Public, of Dion,
France: Take linseed oil, boil it, and
mix it with charcoal dust until the mix
ture has the consistence of an ordinary
paint. Give to the posts a single coat of
the mixture or paint before planting them,
and no farmer, even living the age of the
patriarchs of old, will live long enough
to see the same posts rotten. Some years
ago / discovered the way of rendering
wood more durable in earth than iron it
SELF" says the author of the communica-
ton; "but it seemed to me so simple and
so inexpensive that I did not think it
worth while to make much ado and fuss
about it. Posts of soft wood thus prepar-
ed were removed after remaining seven
years in earth, and were found as sound
as when they were planted. The only
precaution to take is to use only we'll
dried posts before covering them with
charcoal paint"

States to Germany is increasing every
year. The Professor thinks that the time
| is coming when American beer will drive
| the German from the market 1t is not
long ago that we quoted from an English
newspaper strong testimony to the super
! Tor quality of American cheese and ham,
and now we have from the highest Ger
man authority an endorsement equally
strong of American beer. 1t is evident
that Western Europe is learning to rely
more and more every year upon America
both for luxuries and necessaries. Amer
lea is fast becoming what it is certainly
destined to be, the granary of the world.
THE country around Lake Chelan in
Washington Territory has an earthquake
which has apparently come to stay. There
is almost daily a repetition of slight
shocks In some places the earth has
sunk, in other places lakes have formed
where there was no sign formerly of wa
ter, and along the banks of the Columbia
river large masses Of rocks have become
detached from the banks and tumbled into
the river, causing it to cut new channels.
The seat of the earthquake seems to be
just below the lake, and fifteen or twenty
miles from the Columbia. The Indians
say the noise resembles thunder, and is
of almost daily occurrence, and that at
one time there was an issue of salt water
from assure in the earth that covered
the ground knee-deep. which, too, was
charged with a most hOrrid smell. The
Indians are very much scared about the
phenomenOn-sO badly frightened, in fact,
that they call it hGJllJG12G chuck.

A Lost Novel.

"JoHN," of the New York San, has a
pathetic Renaissance of Meriden, Conn,
which he thus relates
l am now at Meriden. It's the very
place where female novelist was lost to
society. She was lost this way. She had
written novel, "The Dead Minister; or,
The Fatal Dish Rag" or some such name,
and she had lover, and one fatal night
she sat down to read that novel to her
lover. She commenced to read as follow
"Winifred Attleboro sat with bated breath
fishing"
"You mean bated hook" said he.
81 mean bated breath, f" says she.
Says he, "Who the deuce ever f1shed
with bated breath?''
Says she, "You're fool"
Says he, Farewell, Susan; alas fare
we'll"
He might have added another letter to
that alas, for it proved last farewell.
Two loving hearts were severed and her
book was lost to the world, for in her rage
she used it to kindle fire to ripen some
Goldfish balls with.

ABOUT VAgHING MACHINES.

No premiums were awarded at the Great
Interstate Exposition, but in the Record of
the Exposition is made this report:
''We find on exhibition a variety of washing
machines and each claims excellence. Many
of them, we doubt not, are great relief to
woman-kind. But one which has been thor
Oughly tested, and has had an immense sale,
and appears to have the greater demand the
more it supplies-we mean the CALKINs CHAM
PIoN WAsHER-seems here, as elsewhere, to
attract general attention. 1t is the cheapest
machine exhibited, costing only $3.50, and we
admit prejudice against low-priced articles
generally, but the simplicity and common
sense construction of this washer must over
come all prejudice. 1t is readily adjusted,
like wringer, to any common tab, and its
simple mechanism is such that it must be
durable. 1t does its work well, and does it
rapidly, and by actual performance says for it
self that it can and does wash Wristbands and
cuffs as well as ten-pound blankets" The
time for making woman bend over the wash
board has passed away. When men avail
themselves of all manner Of costly machinery
to lessen manual labor, who will deny to
woman $3.50 for a washing machine? We do
not know how the same amount of money
could be invested to greater profit and are not
surprised to learn that nearly 10000 of these
machines have already been sold. They are
made, sold and deIiyeyed to any part of the
United States, for the small sum of $3.50, by
the CALKINs CHAMPION WASHER COMPANY,
Nos. 1911 and 1913 Clark street, Chicago.

Uses of RaWIiide.

The skin of an animal, whether COW,
calf colt, or horse that dies on the farm,
is worth more at home than at the tan
ner's. Cut it into narrow strips, and
shave off the hair with sharp knife
before the kitchen fire, or in your work
shop, on stormy days and evenings. You
may make them soft by rubbing. A
rawhide halter-strap an inch wide, will
hold horse better, and last longer, than
an inch rope. It is stronger than hoop
iron and more durable, and may be
used to hoop dry casks and boxes, and
for hinges.
Try it on a broken thill, or any wood
word that has been split. Put it on wet
and nail fast Thin skins make the best
bag-strings in the world. A rawhide
rope is good substitute for chain. 1t
is valuable to mend broken link in q
trace-chain. For some purposes it is best
to use it in its natural state. For other
purposes it may be dressed soft.-J0ur-

THERE IS NO DEATH-If it be true
that Nature abhors a vacuum, it is equally
true that the Great Creator abhors death
and glories in life. There is really no
such thing as death-the term is misno-
mer, used to designate the changes which
occur in life. Life, eternal life, is created
by the laws of Almighty willpower,
which are as immutable in their applica-
ton as is the existence of the Creator
Himself. When God made life, He made
everything necessary to sustain it, but
left it for mans progressive intelligence
to discover, convert and utilize. Good
medicine is to the ailing physique what
good fuel is to the expiring flame; the
better the fuel the quicker the ire-the
