NEGRO EDUCATIoN.-Week before
last Prof. Booker T. Washington, who
represented his race at the opening of
the Atlanta exposition and delivered
an address that won him undying
fame, wrote letter in which he said:
'Beginning from to-day let the me-
gro register an oath in heaven that
from henceforth he will cast his lot
materially, civilly and morally with
the best people of the South; that he
will; cultivate the closest friendship
with the Southern white man; that
when he can he will vote for and with
the Southern white man."
And that's what's the matter. The
so-called 'reformers" may howl as
much as they please about the Wal
ton law, OR any other laws, cheating
the negro out of his vote. 1t isn't so.
The colored people are being educa-
ted, and consequently are learning
that their interests are not in common
with designing politicians, whose only
stock in trade is abuse of the Demo-
cratic party, and hence they are not
voting the Republican ticket as q unit
like they formerly did. And it's no
use for assistant Republicans, under
the guise of "reformersr to cry about
it.-SGlem Times Register.

How the Queen was Killed.

A despatch, Seoul, Korea, to the New
York Herald says: 1.-The palace was
broken into on Tuesday morning, Oct.
9Th. at o'clock by body of Korean
troops and band of Japanese Sochi
in civilian dress. The Colonel in COM
mand of the troops, on refusing to en-
ter the palace, was killed, and a num-
Der of the palace guards were slain
The japanese entered the queens room
and killed the queen, the minister OF
the household and three women. The
bodies were taken outside add burned.
The japanese troops were at the palace,
but took no part in the proceedings.
Tai Won Kun, the kings father, reach
ed the palace soon after the assault and
assumed the chief authority. He is
now dictator and is known to have
been in the plot. The pro japanese
party are in control. Many of the
queens party have been arrested and
many more have fed. It is believed
that the queen dowager was killed Sat
urday night and that the king will be
forced to abdicate. Guards from the
United States warship Yorktown and
Russian cruiser have been ordered
up. Great excitement prevails. 1t is
thought that the butchery will hasten
action on the part of the Russians.

Association at Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 3rd, 1895,
by Julius D. Dreher, President of Roanoke
College, the subject of which is Education in
the South with some of its difficulties and en-
couragements.
This subject is ably and comprehensively
and deliberately discussed The views pre-
scented are sound and the facts, given in great
detail, are interesting and instructive and
show that the author has studied TIE subject
well and that he spared neither time nor pains
in his research for statistical facts the grand

which should be given wide circulation, es-

A Peri!ouS Ride.

About half past O. clock last Thursday even
ing whilst Mr.. VIM. A. Cushing was coming
from West End in a buggy, his horse took
fright and began to kick and run. He kicked
Mr.. Cushing on the hand, cutting his fingers,
which caused him to drop the reins and then
the horse got on the railroad track west of the
arch bridge over the Middlebrook road over
which the horse dashed and continued till he
reached the c. & O. freight depot, where the
buggy came in contact with one of the iron
signal lamp-posts and was smashed. The
horse escaped Injury. The auctioneer realized
that he was going! going!! !" and feared he
would soon be gone
The ride was remarkable one, and his es-
cape was even more remarkable. 1t eclipsed
the famous ride of John Gilpln so graphically
described by the poet Cowper.
