WHY NOT ?-The Coalitionists of War,
rem county passed recently in public meet
ing the following resolution
4. That we are in favor of securing tt
the colored people the civil and political
rights guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
tions Of Virginia and the United States,
but we are opposed to mixed schools and
social equality, and favor colored teachers
for c0lored schools and white teachers for
white schools
Warren county is in the northern part ol
Virginia, where there are comparatively
few negroes. The Coalitionists Of that
county adopt the school resolution of the
Lynchburg platform so far as mixed
schools and the teachers for all the public
schools are concerned, but they say never a
word as to whether they are in favor of, or
opposed to, that part Of the Lynchburg
resolution which declares for white trus-
tees for white schools and negro trustees
for negro schools. >
Can't the reader guess, why the Coali-
tionists are afraid to come out for white
schools? We think he can. We guess
that it is because the negroes are anxious
for the recognition involved in the appoint
ment Of negroes as trustees of white schools
1t is impossible that it can be because white
men desire to divide with the negroes the
honor of managing the white schools and
of electing the white teachers. IL cannot
be because the negroes desire to divide
with white men the honor of managing the
negro schools and Of electing negro teach
ers. 1t must be, therefore, because the ac-
ton Of Cameron, Farr, and Blair in &p-
pointing two negro trustees for tho public
schools, white and black, of Richmond city
has stirred up an ambition in the negro
which will be satisfied with nothing less

In Maj. Holmes Conrad's admirable let
ter of last week, which ought 10 be IN every
intelligent voters hands, attention is called
to the attempt of the last Legislature to va
cate all the offices of the school trustees,
remove the appointment of their successors
from the local powers and establish it in
the State Board of Education. This State
board, as every one knows, is composed of
the no less notorious persons than Cameron,
Blair and Farr. 1t is the same board whose
policy is to place negroes in charge of white
schools, and disgusting blatherskites In the
responsible position of county superintend-
ents. a kind providence has thus far saved
great majority of the schools from the de-
graded offspring of this corrupt party. 1t
now remains for the people to arouse them
selves to overthrow the evil that has already
been committed, Eand save the school sys-
tenn from utter and complete perdition.

The OLDEST MAN IN THE COUNTRY
Alexander Willis, probably the oldest man
IN the United States, died at his home in
Bradford county, about five miles from La
Crosse, last Wednesday. Mr.. Willis was a
native of South Carolina. He came to
Georgia amany years ago and at the time ofhis
death was 113 years old. He removed to
this State at the time of the Indian war and
remained here ever since. Before his death
he stated that he could remember the re-
turn of his father all ragged and poor, from
the Revolutionary War. He himself served
in the war with England of 1912, under
President Jackson. and since his first vote,
cast for General Washington at his second
election has voted at every election since,
including the last, when he put in straight
Democratic ticket for Hancock. Gainesville

NEGROES GETTING TIRED OF

NEGROES GETTING TIRED OF TIN
speaking Of Henrico county, the Richmond

The colored voters are getting vociferous
in their demands for their rights. There
are abont sixteen hundred negroes in the
county who vote the Mahoneite ticket and
only about one hundred and fifty whites
who vote that ticket. so the negroes are in
an overwhelming majority. They say they
do all the voting while two OF three of Ma
homes white men get all the offices. They
swear they are "tired of this sort of thing. +"
The negroes, however, will be forced to
''grin and bear it, for Malone and his par
ty will continue to make of them "hewers
of wood and drawers Of water" Malone
is their overseer, and he controls them at
his pleasure, and when he applies the lash
they must obey. The political whipping
post is cruelty used by Malone and his par

IN THE LAST PEW.


She sits, bent DER with wrinkled face,
Poor and forlornly old; no grace
Smoothes the sharp angles of her form,
Long buffeted by life's slow storm.
All else around is fire and fair;
The stained light falls, a golden glare.
In seeming mockery on her loose gray hair.
The preacher faultlessly arrayed
Tells how our hearts afar have strayed,
And how all souls should be content
With these good blessings God has sent.
And one OF all that self-poised throng
Hangs on his words nor deems them long
And hunbly thinks only her heart is wrong.
She meekly mumbles DER the hymn,
Her eyes with age and tear drops dim;
what can their gay world hold for her
This worn and weary worshiper?
Row, rustiing down the aiseS in pride
They toss bright smiles on every side;
Nor does She know the hearts such fair looks
hide.
And still she sits with tear-wet face,
AS loath to leave that sacred place;
The organ, with quick thunders rivep,
Lifts her sad, trembling soul to Heaven;
She feels a sense of blissful rest,
Her bony hands across her breast
She clasps, and slowly signs: "God knoweth
best''
One day, within some grander gate
Where kinds and ministers must wait,
While she hopes humbly for low place
Far from the dear LORDS shining face,
Above the chant of heavenly choir
These words may sound, with gracious fire.

verse position adopted by the Republicans
but it has found itself confronting a dispo-
sition on the part of honorable men in the

sters in politics and repudiate before any

WOLF BAIT.-One use of the whalebone
to which the Esquimaux put it, and one
case OF which came under my personal OBJ
servation, must not allow to pass unnotic-
ed. Whenever wolves have been unusually
predatory, have destroyed favorite dog or
SO, or dug up cache of reindeer meat Just
when it was needed, or in any way have
aroused the ire of the Innuit hunter, he
takes strip of whalebone about the size of
those used in corsets, wraps it up into a
compact helical mass like watch spring,
having previously sharpened both ends,
then ties it together with reindeer sinew,
and plasters it with compound of blood
and grease, which is allowed to freeze and
forms binding cement sufficiently strong
to hold the sinew string at every second or
third turn. This, with lot of similar
looking bats of meat and blubber, is scat
tered over the snow or ground, and the
hungry wolf devours it along with the
others, and when it is thawed out by the
warmth ofhis stomach, it elongates and has
the wellknown effect of whalebone on the
system, but having the military advantage
Of interior lines it's effects are more rapid,
killing the poor wolf, with themost horrible
agonies in couple of days.-Lt. ,ScApatkq.

Malone, by liberal expenditure of mon
ey it is said among the iron-clad oath legis-
lators of 1869-7t, obtained the passage of
an act transferring to himself, virtually.
this immense interest for 100000 on a
credit of ten years without interest, and
giving him possession at once. He obtain
ed also the passage of another clause to the
act, surrendering the States frstclaim, and
agreeing to allow him to borrow money and
mortgage the roads to the extent of S15,-
600, 900 ahead of the States claim. He
took possession of the road borrowed the
money, ran the road il the mud, failed to
pay the interest on it's bonds, was six or
eight months behind paying offits employees,
paid the State neither principal or interest
on her $4,000, 0D0, and finally, when the
road was taken possession of by the United
States courts and sold, it did not bring
money enough to pay what had been bor-
rowed and spent on it independent of the
States millions, and the company which
bought it, though not legally required to
pay the State anything, gave her a gratu-
ity of $500,O So the State of Virginia
lost through Mahone's management of the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad &c.,
267, 267, with interest thereon at 6 per cent.
since 1870, making total of principal and
interest of $11, 155, $50 40 This is what it
has cost the Treasury of Virginia to bring
