Honor to Whom Honor Is Due.

The growing tendency of the

mitted when any mention Was made

q happy augury "fprogress. Of friend
ship and matunl good will between
the races. and SO Of q bright and pro-
sperous future for our Snuny South.
For instance we clip from The
Scottsboro Herald # Aug. 18th, the
following complimentary notes OF
Rust Institute, our eldest institution
Of learning in Huntsville aud Of it's
able President:
"The speech Of Prof Mckinney

How Gan q COlOred Man Vote for
Wheeler.

1t will be remembered that at tie
Democratic Mass Meeting held on
the 9Th of May Gen Wheeler q
friends refused to allow c0lored men
who had voted the Democratic ticket
for years, to vote in that Mass Meet
ing. We stood by and saw this.
Of course most Of the colored men
who we're refused vote in that meet.
ing we're for Richardson, but now
pray tell us what amount OF andacity
will it take for Gen Wheeler or his
friends to ask any cnlored man in
Madison county to vote for him. In
the language of the boys, "Itls just
to thin"
That meeting was too pure for
poor colored people vote in Remem-

WRITING from KncxviIle, Tenn, q
correspondent OF the N. Y. Freeman
says. "Mr w 8 Williams, candi-
date for register Knox county, was
defeated by his own household.
Every Republican on the ticket was
elected but him. The Knoxville
Journal gives the cause OF his defeat
in the following simple ss terse Ian
gusgs: 1.-TWO reasons led to his de-
feat. One is. the purchasabIe vote
which includes a large number Of
his own race. We do not mean to
say here that the purchasable vote,
bought and sold on election day, is
confined to the colored race, far it il
pretty we'll known fact thot a great
many white men vote as they are
paid. A majority of the colored men
Is h0 were bribed to vote the Dem
"cratic ticket voted it straight and
against Mr.. Williams. The other
md the principal cause was preju lice
against his race. There is no use
IL denying this and wewill not deny
it. 1t is an unpleasant fact, but ii
is fact This prejudice is giving
way. It is much lest marked than it
was q dozen years ago."
1t is becoming more and mnre a
conviction with c,lored voters that
Republicans allow such prejudices
TO lead them blindly against the
principles ofthe party, that tley
should be paid back in their
own coin and be thus brought
to their senses. The axiom that
like cures like" may sometimes be
applied with efficacy to politics.

A House for Forty Fowls.

Chicago Herald.
A comfortable house may be built, say twenty
feet long and ten feet wide, and eight feet front
and five feet back, boarded upright and battened,
with shed roof shingled, the flooring to be
made by filing it with mellow loan to the top of
the underpinning; this we consider better than
cement floor. This building had better be divi
ded into two compartments, with partition and
door; the south front should have two windows
of six lights eight by ten glass; the east one
window. Ventilators should be fixed at the
highest point on each end The roost should
not be two feet high and about eight
inches above a platform twenty inches wide; I'M
derneath this platform the nest boxes can be
placed. A dust bin must also be provided And
now you have comfortable place for forty
fowls at cost of not over $25 Yards can be
built on the south side corresponding with the
width of the coops and as long as room can be
spared to make them. Your fowls must have
access to grass run each day ian hour or two to-
ward evening will answer or else grass or weeds
must be cut and thrown to them in their yards.
Carbolic acid largely diluted with water will
drive away the lice in your hen house: it may be
applied with wisp which we should consider
preferable to a small pump. 1t would hardly
pay to heat the house in cold weather; it would
be better to make it as warm as possible by
either ceiling it or lining with tarred paper.
