never lived where the colored brother
fiourishes in large numbers. 1t is proper
and right that these things should be
pondered and discussed by all the peo-
pie, for they are one day to become the
leading topics among the writers and
thinkers, the statesmen and philoso-
pliers of the country.
Regarding the Dispatches remarks
about the flag, they were doubtless
brought forth by the fact-as alleged
that during the ceremonies attending the
dedication of the new capitol at Atlanta
no national flag was displayed, but a
state flag instead. 1t is doubtful if any
body but the man who hoisted the flag
thought anything about it, and he prob
ably run up the first one that came TO
hand. The Chicago Inter Ocean has
neither helped itself nor hurt the South
by its screeching over the affair, though
it tried hard to do both.
The South Is not engaged in lazily
twirling its thumbs and moaning over the
days that are gone. The South is up and
doing, and is not going to be outrun in
the race for material prosperity.
But at the same time there are one or
two social problems upon which she must
keep an eve.

A KyOTTY LEGAL QUESTION.

A curious question of law has arisen in
Tennessee out of the trial of the Howard
damage suit
The jury brought in a verdict of one
cent. damages for the plaintiff. After
the jury had been discharged the question
arose, who is to pay the costs?
Judge Stuttgart held that under the
statute and recent decisions the plaintiff
and his sureties were liable. Counsel for
the plaintiff announced that some of the
jurors had said it was the understanding
that defendant would have to pay the
costs, and asked for new trial. The
judge decided to hold a special term of
court, recall the jury and consider the
question.
The costs are heavy, as both parties
took evidence in many parts of this
country, and also in England and Aus
tralia.
If the jury is divided on the question
of costs will that necessitate new trial?

lie its efforts if it would grow and pros
per-. To-day Fort Worth is greeted with
the announcement that the cracker fac
tory viii be started up; lots are being
sold as the inducement to the erection
of stove factory; wooden mill COM
pany has been organized and subscrip-
tons to its stock solicited; a PROPOSE
ton for the organization of a company
to operate a cannery has been made,
and now comes a motion to erect
cotton factory. These institutions
will amount TO nothing unless
put in operation, but that efforts are
being made and partial success already
attained is demonstration of the value
of organization. The agitation of or
ganized effort aud the advancement
that organization had been effected
brought to this city. within two weeks
two propositions from parties outside Of
Fort Worth, and the fact Reorganization
impelled our OWL people to go to work
On third proposition.
Organization is the condition prece-
dent to successful effort; 1t is doing and
viii do its appointed work: but its
fruits can be gathered only through
cooperation and unity. The organization
effected must be maintained, strength
ened and perfected by those who have
the most to gain from the city's growth;
there must be no holding back, no hold
ing on and "givIng" nothing. The
power of organization has been demon
strated, but its work can be consummated
only by the unity of all whose exceeding
financial reward lies in making invest
ments for the general good. The work
of organization thus far IS certainly an
encouragement and should be an inspira-
ton to every man who desires to still
further enrich himself through the general
advancement; but without consumma-
tion of its work through the united action
of this people 1t would be better for Fort
Worth had it made no effort to organize
its action for the promotion of its growth
and to give permanency to its past
achievements.

WHAT THE SOUTH IS DOING

The ST. Paul Dispatch in a lengthy
and very generally excellent editorial on
''The True Southern Question, - thinks
that
Used for so long to doing little more than boss
| ing ne groes and talking politics the Southern
| people, with the aid of their newspaper press,
seem intent on closing their eyes to the indus
trial revolution which is going on in their midst.
! While the vast mineral resources of Alabama
| are being uncovered by the aid of the Mort hern
/ capital and enterprise, the self-perpetuating
controversy goes on all around, to whether
! the negroes should be excluded from even Repub-
| Iican political organizations and whether the
| significant absence of the United States flag
from the vicinity of public celebrations on the
Fourth of July is wholly made up for by the
| presence Of the state flag.
Nothing could be wider of the mark.
The newspapers are, it is true, discussing
! the race question to a considerable eX-
! tent. and trying to arouse the people to
proper sense of its Importance, for that
it is important no thinking man who
knows the conditions can deny.
And even the editors of Southern news
papers have been led to discussion of
race matters by their brothers of the
Northern press.
The fact is, the people of the South are
too busily at work developing the re-
sources of the country, building
up its waste places and trying
TO force two blades of grass to grow
where formerly grew but one, TO take
cognizauce of any question but that
which has to do with to-day. They are
too much inclined to allow somebody else
to work out the race problem for them,
and the discussion being carried on in
the press is for the purpose of impressing
upon the minds of the people the fact
that they have in their midst q living,
growing menace to their happiness and
civilization. The trouble is not that
they take too much interest in the ques-
ton, but that they take too little.
No people have ever been so misunder-
stood and so misiudged by their neigh
bors as have the people of the South by
those of the North. Instead of sitting
GOWN auu ESpluIAS NlSu lISg came nome
from the war, and found themselves
beggared by that unfortunate yet un-
avoidable struggle, they took off their
coats and went to work to renew their
fortunes, rebuild their homes and revive
the country laid waste by fire and sword
How well they have worked let the
smoking factories and furnaces, the
fields of grain and the millions of bales
of cotton sent to feed the spindIes of the
world tell.
And now an unforeseen danger arises.
1t is that, drunk with financial success,
mad with their greed for gold, they will
forget the culture and refnements
priced so dearly in other days, and allow
the old Southern grace and chivalry and
hospitality-once the pride of the CONT
nent-to become a thing of the past. The
influence of the negro upon society must
be understood to be appreciated, and it
cannot be explained to those who have

A FORT WORTH man driving out in the
country some time since, and speaking
of matters concerning the welfare of the
people, remarked upon the fact that so
few Texas farmers raised their own ba-
con, and said he had thought of offering
a considerable prize for the Tarrant coun-
most meat. There is a good suggestion
in this. Farmers should not need prize
to stir them to proper efforts for their
own good, but encouragement of that or
some other kind might be used as start
er. If the Texas farmer once begins
raising hogs he viii never stop it.
