AND IT'S STILL GETTING
HOTTER.

The hooking birds are singing
All the songs they used to sing,
When the Sky was new with summer
And the air was fresh with spring,
For the weathers getting warmer
Than it ever was know,
Down here in old Carolina
Where the flowers love to grow.
Now the sun is brighter, hotter,
Than it was in May or June
When the peoples were budding
And the bees were all in tune
Then the heat was most unbearable,
And the sun would seem to KISS
The shadows all about me,
But il wasn't hot like this.
With the broadcast kind of palm lea1
And Il big palmetto hat,
I'll to some shady streamlet,
Where I've oft in summer sat,
III fan and watch the fiOater
As it disappears from sight
IN the water just to tell me
Where the fish is going to bit
SO early in the morning.
When the lark is on the wing,
While the knocking birds are singing
All the songs they used to sing,
I'll take some fishing tackle,
And near the messy creek
! will hide among the shadows,
Where the air is fresh and sweet.
I'll forget my every trouble
Like I've often done before,
While fishing in the streamlet
From the messy, shady shore,
III forget and watch the fioater
As it disappears from sight
In the water just to tell me
When a fish is going to bite.

Washington at Atlanta last week, take
pride in his fine taste and judgment and
discretion.
But as an humble member Of recent

people that the resolutions passed by
that conference seven days previous to
brother Washington's speech, entitled
North Carolina negroes to the right Of
claiming the front rank along the wise
line Of Casting down the Bucket where
we are" AS North Carolina patriots at
Mecklenburg on May 20, 1875, sent
forth the first declaration Of indepen-
dence from British tyranny, so did North
Carolina negro citizens on the 18th Of
Sept. 100 years later, lead the world in
declaring for peace and friendship with
out sacrifice of manhood with all of our
surroundings here at our Southern
homes. So did we cast our lot with our
native section of our great country.

Acting Comptroller of the Currency
Bowers overrules Secretary Oarlisle's
decision and refuses to honor the draft
drawn on the Treasury by Minister Ran
som. He IS waiting the return OF Comp
troller Bowler, who is taking recreation
from the sugar bounty case.
Minister Ransom will probably give
his decision next week in the dispute be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala, which he
has been called upon to arbltrate The
dispute has been long and somewhat
complicated, but the closing chapter will
be written when Minister Ransom gives
his decision.
The trouble arose from the expulsion
of Mexican citizens from Guatemala
more than a year ago.
1t was the expulsion of these Mexicans
by the Guatemaan authorities which led
Mexico to begin active preparations for
war against her Central American neigh
Dor. The expulsion was the result OF con-
troversy extending over a number of
years as to the control of certain lands
living along the boundary between
the two republics. The Mexicans
claim several million dollars for
dam g3s while Guatemala thinks a few
thousand is sufficient. The troubles
have been finally settled by treaty, they
agreeing to leave the matter with the
American Minister to Mexico It was at
first decided to refer the matter to Pres
ident Cleveland, but 1t was subsequently
concluded that Minister Ransom would
be equally acceptable.
1t Is understood here that Minister
Ransom has succeeded in dissuading the
missionaries in Mexico from their con
templated crusade against the Virgin of
Guadaloupe.
