THE BAPTIsTs AND THE NEGRO.

The November number of Frank Les
He's Popular Monthly contains a fine
picture OF President Chas. F. Meserve,
OF Shaw University. Tt is one Of the
illustrations in an article on the Baptists
by Gen. Z. j. Morgan, corresponding
secretary OF the American Baptist
Home Mission Society. Speaking Of
the work of this denomination in edu-
eating the negro, General Morgan says:
"There are to-day in the South more
than thirty institutions of learning,
founded and fostered by the Baptists in
which are gathered many thousand ne
gro pupils. Some of these institutions
have attained very high rank, notably
those at Richmond, Va, Raleigh, N. G.,
Atlanta, Ga, Nashville, Tenn, and
Marshall, Texas. More than $4,000. 900
have already been expended in these

TO SOLVE CONVICT PROBLEM
Georgia Calls on North Carolina for In
formation on the Subject.

The Georgia legislature is in session
and the toughest problem it has to deal
with is the convict quesrion-how to dis
pose of its felons. To lease or not to
lease, that is the question.
So many abuses of the lease system
have recently come to light in that State
that there is now very bitter opposition to
continuing it. Governor Atkinson is
leading this opposition and favors State
control of the conyicts and the establish
ment of a central prison and State farms
similar to those in this State.
Yesterday he sent Governor Russell
the following telegram of inquiry:
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. %, 1897.
Governor d. L. Russell, Raleigh, n. c.:
what is total value of real estate and
equipment owned by State for peniten-
tiary purposes, and what total amount
for this purchase?
please wire answer at once.
wv. Y. ATKINSON,
Governor of Georgia"
To this Governor Russell made reply as
follows:
Raleigh, N. c., Nov. %.
"Gov. w. Y. Atkinson, Atlanta, Ca:
"The value of real estate, including the
central prison, actually owned, is APP
proximately one million dollars. The
real estate and other property owned
was paid for by a special tax and ap-
preparations covering a period of twenty
years.
In addition to this, the penitentiary
leases six farms at a total annual rental
of about fifteen thousand dollars, which
is for the most part piece Of jobbery.
Until the last Legislature an annual
appropriation has been made for it's sup
port; and for the last four years the
penitentiary has cost the State, over and
above earnings, one hundred and four
thousand dollars.
"Our last Legislature made no contin-
gent appropriation; but our present man
agement seems likely to pay the debts
of the preceding administration, all ex-
penses this year and neat sum in the
State treasury.
"The aggregate expenditures from 1876
to 1896 were $2,657, 900; the aggregate
earnings for the same time 81, 1,14O,OOO;
net expenditures, $1,517 10000.
DANIEL l.. RUSSELL,
Governor of North Carolina"
1t will be observed that the Governor
calls the lease of farms piece of jobbery
because the lease was made under
Democratic administrator, and then
goes ON to show that it is good thing
by claiming that the present administra-
ton will make them pay. If this be
true, which it is not, no one could ask
for anything better.
A good kind Of jobbery that.

COTTON GROWERS TO MEET.

Governor Ellerbee, of South Carolina,
has written Governor Russell, asking
him to appoint delegates to the Cotton
Growers convention, which will meet
in Atlanta December 14th. A conven-
ton of this kind was recently held in
Columbia, and it was then decided to
hold this second convention in Atlanta.
The object of the meeting is to discuss
the marketing, sale and price of cotton
and devise some plan, if possible, by
which producers can receive a price
above the cost of production. Governor
Ellerbee asks that one delegate be ap-
pointed from each Congressional dis
trict and two from the State at large.

EFFECTS OF TEA SMOKING.

Physicians Alarmed at the Growth Of the
Habit Among Women.
Physicians and specialists on nervous

young women without disclosing to
them that their condition is the result
Of practicing the new vice of smoking
tea cigarettes. The habit is increasing.
From observations of its effects a west
side physician declares that "a tea ciga-
rette is a genuine brain excitant. Any
one who uses it and yet does not work
with her brain would go half crazy with
nervousness, but with those who do
brain work it is different, for the stimu-
lus produces strange Intellectual activ-
ity.
AFTER a couple Of green tea cigarettes
a poem, for instance, will almost write
itself, I I'm told by n of my literary
patients. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating to the brain and its
flow of thought, acts as a pure sedative
to the rest Of the BODY, quietipg restless
ness, uneasiness Dr. actual pain Tho
after effects are lad if they have not
been worked off by unusual mental
work.
"At some houses green tea cigarettes
are handed around after dinner, and /
know three actresses of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking parties
twice a week. One woman, to break of
this habit, on which she has expended
nearly $40 q week, has lately volun-
tarily placed herself under private re-
straint. She had concealed her habit
from her husband by using an artfully
contrived cigarette case. 1t resembled q
bunch of keys, each key containing one
cigarette.
$50 much has the habit spread that
several tobacconists and druggists are
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for regu-
lar customers. The active chemical prep
aration Of tea is theme, just as caffeine
is Of coffee and nicotine Of tobacco. I
When theme is administered to a frog
or o small animal, it is found that it
chiefly influences sensations which caf-
feline or coffee does not. In larger doses
theme produces spontaneous spasms or
commissions, which caffeine does not.
This is, in fact, the ultimate effect Of
smoking numerous tea cigarettes. finally
producing fits OF commissions. /
"Theine also acts az a local anas-
thetic, quoting painful nerves. Green
tea contains much more theme than or.
binary black tea. So you see that the
habit q smoking tea cigarettes is terri
bly, pernicious. New York Press.
