the questionable statutes from our

has MIR. Chas. A. Douglass put his tai

his native State from his adopted resi-
dence in another to rend her as crimi-
nal for the enactment of unrighteous
laws in the direct results off which he
was silent partner. if not direct

Sr. LOUIS, May 16.-Signal Officer
Frarkenfeld reports killing frost at
Springfield. Ills, and vicinity and a
light frost in this vicinity and through
out Missouri extending up into Ohio.
1t is not thought that any serious
damage to crops resulted unless 1t may
have been in the low lands.
Dispatches received here by the Mis-
souri, state board of agriculture report
some damage to crops by the frosts of
Saturday and Sunday nights in north
west and north central section of the
state.
GALEsBURG, Ills, May ia ca

thing was frozen. Ice quarter of an
inch thick was formed. Vegetation
was far advanced. The grape and
strawberry crops were killed. 1t is
feared fruits of all kinds are badly in
iured. Corn was cut down, early veg
etables of all kinds were killed. No
such disastrous frost has occurred here
for years. The money loss is believed
to be large. It is feared a large acre
age of corn must be replanted.
CINCINNATI, May ia Times Star
special from Middletown, O., says the
whole Miami river valley was covered
with white frost, killing early vegeta-
ton. Corn was injured, but will re
cover. Many farmers have delayed
planting corn, fearing cold weather
following the intensely warm weather
of the past two weeks.
Oshkosh, Wis, May 16.-There has
been another heavy frost, the third in
succession, and the destruction of gar
dens, fruits, berries and early grain is

White Uuitv Necessity.

By the decision Of Judge Golf South
Carolina is placed in critical and
embarrassing situation, but we must
not despair. The Constitutional Con-
yention will be held, and none need
worry themselves about that body be-
White people Of the State are not fooIs.
It will be controlled by good and true
white men, and anybody who obstructs
and opposes will drop beneath the
waves of political oblivion. We fully
agree with the Columbia Evening News
that the white men of South Carolina
hold the key to the situation, and can
unlock the doors of our prison-house,
if they will. But if by continued fol-
IL they seek to promote division and
foment strife, they will reap the re-
ward of their sowing. Of course, there
remains but one logical course, and
that is for everybody to come into the
first compromise-the Tillman-Barn-
well-Hemphill agreement and agree
upon that basis of reconciliation.
This Is an agreement backed by power
and plainly stated intentions, and
does not deal in vague, indefinite gen.
eralities. The white people of the.
State should rally to man, for it will
require all the manhood of the State
to meet the emergency and for a.
time all thought of partisan gain.
ought to be sunk ought of sight. The.
negro will find before he is through

and the deep sea. The decision put.
his entire race in jeopardy, and only
the severest prudence can avert ca,
tastrophe. If indiscretion is INDUCED,
it will be paid for at ruinous price.
There never was time when the ne
gro race walked so near the verge of a,
precipice; single false step now and
it is hurled to ruin"

A Fight in the State House.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 16.-The
incident Of the day was personal en-
counter outside the door OF the Senate
chamber between Senator Reeves and
State Superintendent OF Education
Sheats. The trouble grew out OF an
educational billof Senator Reeves, ana
after some words the latter struck
Superintendent Sheats full between

Bystanders interfered before further
damage could be done, though the

There is decided difference be-

brown bread. The bread that you use
must be free from bran. Make Ii

one pint of boiling water into one pint
of milk. When lukewarm add one
yeast cake. dissolve in quarter OF a
cup Of lukewarm water, then add
teaspoonful of salt and sufficient

beat this batter for at least ten min

three hours. Then add sufficient -four

When too stiff to handle with spoon
turn ii out on a board and knead until
it is elastic. Form this at once into
four loayes, put each loaf In a square
pan about 8 inches long, wide and
from to s inches In depth. When
light again, at the end Of about one
and half hours. bake in a moderate
oven one hour. Take from the fire
and turn out to cool When cold cut
the crusts from top Of loaf. These
make an admirable food for the re-

should use. Household News.
