A town has no more right TO depend
wholly for saec<ss on its natural advan-
tagps than man has a right 10 depend
on his wife's relations TO set to heaven.
1t is the harmony Of the whole people
on progressiee plan that lifts town

with its citizens pulling in different
wars, A strong pull and long pull

The company operating the cotton
mill at Charleston, s. C. has been en-
gagged in experiments with white labor,
with the result that all the white opera
tive have been discharged and their
places filed with negroes. This has
keen done. not because the white help
was more expensive, but because the
blacks do better work and more Of il.
The black man is surely gaining. Years
ago it was thought he could do nothing
except till the ground or drive team.

beautiful thing so long as the number
Of dollars dropping into the till was not

W. G. Addineton and family started
yesterday for the Nez PIERCE reservation
in Idaho. Nr. Addington left the Big
Bend as Jacob Of old left his father-in-
lAw-Gith his fiOeks and herds. There
was 9 team Of six fine horses drawing a
wagon heavily loaded with grain and
lighter wagon tailed behind; q large
band of good horses and small herd Of
cattle, driven by . young man and .
young lady of the family. Then there
was covered wagon for the less rugged
members. The old gentleman on horse
back, his gray locks waving in the breeze,

The good people of Moscow should
now cease wrangiing about the univer-

who had the ability TO take hold of an

in every way to hamper the usefulness
Of the officer is little less than criminal.
