IMPORTANCE OF CHARAC-
TER.

There is a difference between
character and reputation, character
is what We really are. Reputation
is what Others suppose we are. A
man may have good reputation
and bad character. The reason
of this is, that we form our opin-
ions of men from what they ap-
pear to be, and not from what
they really are, some men appear
to be much better than they really
are, while others are better than
they appear to be. Most men are
more anxious about their reputa-
ton than they are about their
character. This is improper,
while every man should endeavor
to maintain Il good reputation, he
should especially labor to possess
a good character. Our true hap
piuess depends not so much ON
what is thonght of us by others,
as On what we really are in our
selves. Men of good character
are generally men of good reputa-
tion; but this is not always the
case as the motives and actions of
the best of men are sometime mis-
understood and misrepresented.
But it is important above every
thing else that we be right and do
right whether our motives and
actions are properly understood
and appreciated or not. Nothing
can be 80 important to any man
as the formation and possession OF
s good character. The influences
which operate in the formation OF
character are numerous and how
ever trivial some of them may
appear, they are hot to be dispis-
ed. The most powerful forces in
nature are those which operate
silently and imperceptibly.
<sThis is equally true of those
meral forces which exert the great
est influences on our minds and

number who wanted to sell out and
the amount wanted, but suffice it
to say, that sufficient number
could have been bought to have
changed the complexion of the con.
ference. There was but one rep
resentative negro in the convention
and he was Prof. p. III. Clark, of
Ohio. His address was strong and
forcible. Unfortunate for Mr.,
Clark he has no following. The
conference was a conspiracy and a
scheme of a few ambitious men to
sell out and deceive and mislead
the colored people.

A BLOODY SHIRT PICTURE

.tGustan Forsberg a Washing
ton artist is at work on q painting
with life figures for the Paris ex-
position next year. It will con-
tain eleven figures and represents
a lynching scene. The victim is
a negro and the lynchers are
whites. When asked why he
chose the subject, Mr.. Forsberg
said" Lynching is distinctively
an America pastime statistics
show that about 800 persons are
annually executed in all part of
the United States in this summary
manner. 1t occurred to me that
a representation on convas Of this
distinctly an American way of
Furnishing crime would be a novel
and a strong subject for painting"
This picture will be a powerful
portralture Of Southern justice.
We are not blessed with the gift
of prophecy but we predict a prize
for Mr.. Forsberg that will lead in
honors. "Bloodshirt' is a epithet
that appears in the wrong direction.
The democrats draw the blood and
when they are told of their wick
edness and cruelty, they cry out

historical picture and if he were to

ginia planet the artist no doubt

WHATS the matter with so
many negroes of this country
that they prefer to marry white
women instead of respectable
ladies of their own race. But
who are the white women that as
a rule negroes marry? We can
answer-they are the miserable,
degraded cast off rubbish of infer
or white families, who no respect
able negro gentleman Gun afford
to recognize. What sensible negro
wants white woman for q wife.
For our part we take no stock In
any white woman. We believe,
every blessed one of them, with
some few exceptions, are lying
lot OF frauds. Whenever a negro
30 forgets himself as to take
white wife he has to pay the pen
atty. 1t Is this, he and his insig-
niicant frou are ignored by re
spectacle negro families, and shut
out from the better class of white
society. There are negro asses
in this country, with their COM
mon white woman, who have been
for many years knocking at the
door of decent people of bota
classes-they are not noticed
This is as it should be. Whlls
men must understand that the
negro aristocracy of this country
are as particular about eating al
the same table with white people
as can be. For our part the Br''-

give complexion to our character.
Among those early expressions,
example and habits are, perhaps
the most powerful. Early i'm
pressions although they may sp-
pear to be but slight are the most
enduring and exert the greatest
influences on the life. By repeti-
ton they acquire strength, become
deeply rooted in the mind and
give bent and inclination to its
powers. The tiniest bits of opin-
ion sound in the minds of child
rem in private life, afterwards issue
forth to the world and become its
public opinion; for nations are
gathered out of nurseries. Exam
pies it is said preach to eyes; and
there are but few persons especial
ly among the young, who can
avoid imitationg those with whom
they associate. For the most
part this is 30 unconscious that It's
effects are almost unheeded
models which are daily placed be.
fore us tend to mould our charac-
ter and shape our course in life.
Habits results from the repetition
of the same act until we become 80
accustomed to it that its perfor-
nance requires no mental ofort
and scarcely attracts our attention.
By the influence of early impres-
sion the force of example and the
power of habit the character
becomes slowly aud imperceptibly
but at length decidedly formed; the
individual acquires those traits
and qualities by which he is dis
tinguished and which bear direct
ly upon his happiness and welfare.
1t is very important then for every
one and especially for the young to
be very careful as to the impress
sion, he cherishes the example he
initiates, and the habits he forms.
These important elements which

The Work of the Convention

The National Republican Con
yention of 1888 will be noted for the
deliberate manner in which its work
was accomplished. In the first two
DAYS was effected an organization
which gave satisfaction to all con-
cerned.
The platform is an able, sound and
liberal paper. To its principles and
arguments there is very little that
every Republican may not heartily
subscribe his assent.
The demand for the reduction Of
letter postage to one cent per ounce
will strike the popular pulse, as the
very thing needed.
Having built so wisely in making
a platform, the Convention went
forward bravely and selected as its
standard bearers two eminent Repub-
licans whose names and states man
ship add honor to the Republican
cause-Gen. Benjamin Harrison, of
Indiana, for President and Hon
Levi P. Morton, of New York, for
Vice President.
Republicans every where while
feeling inwardlya pang of disap-
pointment that the name Of Blaine
did not head the ticket, yet heartily
endorse the ticket named as a wise
solution of the problem placed be-
fore the convention, and ''hurrah
for Tippecanoe and Victory too"

that the survey putting down grade

no doubt the whole line to Huntsville
would soon be under contract, and the
road completed in time to relieve the
main line Of the heavy haul the coming

stood that it is the intention OF the com.
pany to complete it in time for the relief
of the main line this winter. The loss
from delay and wear and tear and wrecks

equal in one season to the cost OF builds
ing the new road, which is to serve the
purpose Of double track as well as de-
velop the new country through which it
runs
To the question, is the crossing at
Manchester certainty? He said, "the

above Guntersville They had found no
other point where crossing could be
effected at so small cost or where the

will cross at Manchester. Another i'm
portant reason why il should cross there,
is the approaches will admit Of a suspen-

Treasurer, for embezzlement. The total
