Mr.. Earl took my hand and told me III

He only knew. however. that the lamp had

the time, he picked you up and ran with
YOU down the stairway and out OF the
open door. But in the mean time he had
been horribly burned, and he fell IN
faint as soon as he reached the pavement.
Strangely enough you were unconscious
for some moments, although you were not
badly burned. Probably 1t was the
smOke.n
Then no one knows, thought l, what
really did happen that night. The lamp
must have fallen almost directly upon

saturated his hair and clothing.

"Brain-fever, my boy" said he. Too

Fortunately the latter assurance was
rightly spoken. The first day that brought
me strength enough to put on my. clothes

me into the library to talk business. We

NEGROES IN CARS.
A Demand that the Railroads Shall Give

To he Editor Of he DiSDdtch:
I read in late issue. of your paper an
elaborate account of the Richmond
Industrial School" for negroes, recon-
mended and approved by some OF the best
men in Virginia.
think ID IL time to call halt These
gentlemen do not come in immediate con-
fact with the negro race as does the
average white citizen, hence they don't
know many things we know. ~
The negroes are fast becoming aggressive
and insolent and they are not satisfied to
be simply American citizens, but they want
to be more-rulers.
We have been taxed almost beyond en-
durance TO educate this race only to hnd
them more and more aggressive aud
ipsolent. and it is no part OF their
nature TO be grateful. Every cleo
ton you find them led by some
adyenturer, worse than themselves, fight
ing for sepremacy--to rule; yes, 10 rule
that is the word. Actions speak louder
than words. Soon they will meet US at the
polls 10 dispute our right TO rule.

Now one thing | want 10 call your atten-

travel that the negroes conduct themselves
in such manner as TO completely disgust
white travellers.

party. If the negroes think 1t to their in
terest TO vote our ticket why, OF course,
let them do IT, but for Heaven sake stop
buttonholing them-it is disgusting in the
extreme. The white mechanic IN the
North won't work on the same building or
in the same shop with them. and shall we
advance them above our race? | know
there are in the North some soft-headed
people who are over-solicitOus about the
negro. They are Just such people who
when a man Is murdered give their SYM
pathy to the murderer and never give a
thought TO themurdered man or his family.
These people know no more about the
negro than they do about the traditional
man in the moon. j. M. IL.
