A wonderful spirit Of tidiness scems to
puryade the tadpolo world. They always
cat whatever has become useless-their
own eggs, their superhuous companions.
Even those who are only weakly are cleared
out of the way, and tho victims tako 1t ell
as matter of courge. have disturbed u
strong member Of the community just as
he had begun to dine off the tail Of d
weaker brother, but tho sufferer has not
troubled to escape-ho simply waited till
the fretriCide returned to complete his
deadly work. For some time there Is no
grave change in the tadpoles. They sim
ply grow and beoome so far transparent
that their Internal mechanism, which con.
sists Of one coil Of intcstines, Is plainly
visible. When, however, they are about
three months old, careful observer can
distinguish tiny foot on either sido Of the
base Of the tail.
These grow slowly, but seem unable to
move independently until shortly before
the border land is passed which leads to
perfect froshood. The hind legs have
reached their full size before the front ones
appear, and, while the feot grow slowly,
the hands are ready made and can be used
at once. For day or two they can ba
seen under the skin before they venture
forth, ard their posscssor is very restless
and excited. He rushes madly about, JOS
Ting his comrades, and no doubt being
voted u bore then n more vigorous effort
breaks tho skin, and the tiny hand and
arm appear. There seems some rule about
the order Of precedence here, as there is
whom the whiskers 60, for this year my
tadpoles almost without exception, fad
their right hands some hours before the
left, while Oh previous occasions l have
had an entirely left handed orew.-Cham.

Militia Suppressed u Race Riot.

GoLDsDoRo, N. G., Nov, 3,-An incondi-
nry speech made here by Frank Baker, n
colorcd Republican of Dudley, caused n
clash between white and colored citizens
yesterday A mob of over 1870 negroes,
armed with knives, pistols and clubs,
marched through the city and deiied the
law. Tho sheriff and city authorities,
finding themselves unable to cope with
tho mob, called on tho Goldsboro Rifles
for assistance. This action had the effect
of 9uelling the disturbance, which for
time looked as though riot was i'm
mincnt The negroes repaired to hall
in their locality and held Il meeting. Tho
militia is still at the armOry ready for any
emergency. The fro department has also

the result will be q very considerable aC
ccssion to the votes pollcd for him today
He should have passed tho whole of last
week in our county if he wished to be
ELECTED Governor, Instead of taking tour
through Kent and sussex counties rs the
majority Of voters were already committed
to his support. He feels satisfied that he
can carry those two counties and conse.
quently the battle field Is really in New
Castle county.
With the division existing among the
Democrats, 1t really looks as If he and
Willis had q chance for election 1t is sur.
prising, however candidates are led into
The brclief that the great majority Of the
people aro going to vOte for them, and the
illusion is rarely dispclled until the votes
are counted. We trust all voters will do
their duty and that all will be ordered for
good.

These features Of South African nature
Its silence, Its lonelioss, its drcar solem-
nity-hGyo not been without their influence
upon the mind and temper of the European
settler. The most peculiar and character
istic type that tbs country has produced is
tho Dutch Eoer OF tho eastern plateau, the
offspring of thoso Dutch Africans who,
some 60 years ago, wandered away from
British rule into the wilderness. These
men had, and their sons and gFandsons
have to some extent retained, u passion for
solitude that still makes them desire to
live many miles from any neighbor, q
sturdy self reliance, grim courage in the
faou Of danger, a starnness from which the
native races have often had to suffer. The
majesty Of nature las not, however, made
them poctiCal people, although the fact
that they read nothing whatever but the
Bible might bo expected to have stimulated
their Imagination and purified their taste

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The viceroy of India,
the Earl of Elgin cables the home govern
ment that in the Punjaub the distress is
expected mostly in the Cissutley portion
and in Transkari. In tracts Of Lahore,
Giyranwalla, Gujarat and Shapur tho
autumn crops are rather better, and in
the northwest provinces the affected area
is smaller than expected, but includes
half the population. The people are now
eating autumn millets The distress will
begin about the middle Of December. The
viceroy says that the revenue paying rico
crops have largely failed.
Great distress is feared in the district of
Saugor Jubbulpur, Nursinghpur, Ho-
shang.bad and a part of 3ainpur and in
the central provinces The general pros
poets in Bengal are gloomy II there is no
rain In November the distress may be
serious of Patnabhajalpur The fears,
however, sre supposed to he exaggerated.
Relief is likely to be wanted everywhere
in Berar. Distress Is also expected In
Hyderabad, Bhurtpur, Dholpur, Jaisal-
mere, blkanlr, lOnR, GWhllor anu puftS
Of Bagkelkand and Bundelkand.
The effect of the railway facilities will
be to di1fuse the distress, making it less
intense. A few small riots have been re-
ported, mostly owing to the export of
wheat having the effect Of raising prices.
The troops have twice been called out,
once unnecessarily.
Several thousand tons of California
wheat have reached Calcutta and 10000
tons are believed to have been bought
for home, but the home prices are said to
be rising. When the news of this import
reached Jubbulpur the price fell from
eight and half to ten seers per rupee.
(Tho Indian seer is equal to 2059 pounds
avordupois The Indian rupee Is worth
about forty-1ive cents)
Sir Richard Temple, who has had ex-
perlence In Indian affairs since 1915 has
been interviewed on the threatened famine.
Sir Richard alluded to the import of Cali
fornia wheat as u unique factor in the
situation. He said:
at appears that this wheat can be
landed at Calcutta and sold at from eight
to nine seers per rupee. Such u possibility
was never dreamed of in my time. Ii this
be true 1t will suffice to fill the shortage
in the Indian supply"
