Mr.. G. HERBERT RENFRo contributes

the Afro American League a Failure {?
From it we republish the following ex
tract:
"Let its constitution restrict it to ne
groes alone. We must rely upon our
brain and muscle. To make the idea of
.protective league effective, we should
bind the conscience of every member
with An ironclad oath and make the or
ganlZatlon as secret as death. Thousands
of our brethren live in that section of our
land which suggests the return of the
dark ages and the revival of the Inousi-
ton. These are the ones that must be reach
ed. They would hesitate in open action,
where exposure means death, aud where
nothing beneficial is to be gained Let

silently and cautiously and covertly in
their midst until it penetrates into every
village and hamlet in the land, bearing

by union and secret council and earnest
work, such a league can stimulate the
love of liberty in every negro. can put
arms and ammunition for defense into
the hands and home of every black man

one OF the rlany ways how the republi-

of American farmers. Examine the table

HERE were various political elements
III and around the late third party State
convention. There was chairman Eaves
sitting near the entrance door. .Sioual
Harris on the stage, and ex-Collector
Long on the floor. There were republi
cans at both ends of the convention hail
and republicans in the hall. All were
busy watching, working and counselling.
And when Mr.. Skinner formulated q
condition that put to the test the LOYALTY
OF the republican delegates to the third
party he was strenously opposed these

would not agree to support Mr.. Skinner

would result in electing a radical GOV

THE candidates for Congress, in the
third district, of the republican and third
parties were delegates to the third party
State convention. Both took their seats
IN the convention last Tuesday as if
both belonged to the same party. They
belong however to different parties, but
appear 20 be jointly engaged in the eff
fort to defeat the democratic party in
this State. Are they not also engaged
IN the joint purpsse to defeat Mr.. Grady
for reelection in the third congressional
district When candidates protesting
such divergent political views sit in the
same convention they may expect to ex-
cite suspicion. Such conduct warrants

inconsistency.

which was sent us by a reliable gentle
man, and short time thereafter we saw
in the Pr0gressioe Fna'mer letter attack

insinuations disparaging to the reliabil-

him, but have since learned that he was

Useful Rules.

Here is truth useful to parents as
well as to the wardens of prisons.
There are in many homes men and
women who possess fixed opinions and
iron wills, and who subdue the other
members of the family to sort of
servitude. The daily habits, the topics
of frequent discussion, are of their
choosing; while their companions, of
weaker wills but perhaps fine natures,
are forced to succumb. They try, like
transplanted trees, to grow in alien
soil, but only withcr, fruitless The
home thus becomes a prison instead OF
a nursery. Unselfish women are apt
foolishly to try to change their whole
natures into a feeble copy of those
whom they love. Each man." says a
German writer, ''must live his own life
if he would help his ncighbor." "Dc
not fence up your brothers path" says
another wise German, land keep youl
own highway open" A useful rule in
all families is that each member shall
if possible, have his room and a portion
of time to himself each day, with leave
to carry out favoritc pursuit without
interference or ridicule. YOUTHS Com

AFRAID OF AN EMPTY STOMACH.

Extract From Letter by DIR. j. ii. Il ell
Iogg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.i
There are good many people who
seem to think that it is dangerous to
let the stomach get empty, and SO, in
addition to their regular meals, they
take lunch at bed time so as to keep
their poor stomach busy all night. The
all-gone feeling which they complain
of is not due to hunger but to a diseased
state of the stomach A person whose
appetite and food are normal, does not
suffer from hunger, even if he chances
TO miss meal Some have cultivated
an appetite so depraved that they have
to get up in the night t.. eat. knew
one man who used to make his wife
get up and cook him hot meal in the
middle of the night regularly. He was
naturally strong, hearty, vigorous
man and should have lived to good
old age, but through constantly gorg-
ing his stomach, he died prematurely.
The idea that people must have
something good" which generally
means something bad, seems to be quite
prevalent. l once heard of a gentle
man who was very fond of pie and cake
and similar good" things, and who
always helped himself to them just be-
fore going to bed. One night he came
home about ten o'clock, and on going
to the pantry, did not find any pie; SC
he called out to his wife:
"Mary, where's the pie?"
Mary replied: Samuel, I'm very sorry
to say that there is no pie"
The man hunted little longer and
then called out again:
MARY, where's the cake?'
The tired housekeeper reused ur
enough to express her regret that there
was no cake baked either, whereupor
her licge lord exclaimed in Mortified
tones:
"Why, Mary, what would You do il
anybody should be sick here to-night?'

Worry.

If we said our prayers one-half as
faithfully as we render homage to a
certain little heather god enshrined in
every home and heart, we should stand
fairer show for Heaven than we now
do. There are hosts of people who offer
continual sacrifice to this alien god; the
wrath of which neither is, was, nor
ever shall be, appeased. These people
take no comfort in anything kind
Providence sends in their way, just be-
cause of the unappeasable little monster
who sits over against every good thing
in life, like n bat in the moonlight
Upon the palms of its hideous hands, in

The Evils of Poor Roads.

The evils which arise from the pres
ent system of country roads are greatly
enlarged by the fact that the roads are
worst at the very time that the farmer
has the time to supply the public de-
mands. During the summer, when the
roads are at their best, he is busy attic
work of cultivation and reaping. in tho
meantime he has not marketed his sur
plus winter stock, because the roads
were well-nigh impossible and only
the richest of them have help enough
to keep the market wagons running
while the summer work is on The
fall duties are only degree less exact
ing, and with them come rain and carly
snow to change the roads into mud
banks again.-Rural World.
