Editor PALATKA NEWS:
Permit me to ask, what is there to pre-
vent the realization of a bright future for
the negroes of America? see no eco
nomic reasons why our most dazzling
hopes should not bloom into realities.
There are no just causes why our onward
progress should be arrested. The glori-
Gus south is succeeding most wonderfully
in solving the race problem; by kindness,
and by the manifestation to elevate by
education the condition of the freedmen.
Let Us then join hands in cheerful &C
acknowledgement Of such friendly feelings.
The freedman, as the representative of
the bone and and sinew of labor for the
white men in developing the hidden re-
sources Of this great country, certainly
deserves all the good things that his for
mer master may see fit to bestow upon
him. As an evidence of the freedmen's
thriftiness, industry and progress, in
education, go through his exhibits at the
Worlds International Exposition; exam
inc carefully his exhibits; see what apti-
tude in the arts and sciences, as we'll as
in profitable and useful inventions, he
has achieved, and decide for yourself
whether your brother in black" has

A good story is told of a certain prom
inent railway director. who is equally re-
nowned for his ability to take or make a
joke. A railway employee whose home

to.
YES"
You receive your pay regularly :"

well, now, suppose you were work

NO" said the man promptly 4

mean fellow if he would not let me

MORGAN, TEX, July L-Another
residence was burned In Qua town last
night. 1t was the home OF J. p. Lane,
the Morgan and Glsnrose hickman,

on the verge of separation more than
once. In the early part of last night
Lane got mad about some family af-
fair, and, one oi,his near nelghbors al.

in brutal way, and Mrs. Lane says
he told her he would burn the house
up with her and everything else
ia it.r
She finally succeeded in reach
ing the door, and, in night
attire, she ran about two hum
bred yards to where q relative resided.
She thought no more OF his
threat to burn the house until
about midnight, when the

she beheld their home In flames.
While standing in crowd about
the burning building, Mrs.
Lane Jaw her husband near

time pointing to lane. There haing
no officers present he was not MODEST
