WINSTON TOBACCO FAIR.

Winston Salem is to have a big to-
bacco fair on the Srd, 4th and 5th of
November. That it will be a success
needs no more assurance than the fact
that the people Of those progressive
towns are a. the back of the enterprise.
Great preparations are being made
and a large attendance is expected.
The Winston Journal says:
The decorations already made
formed the subject for many favorable
comments from people who were in
the Twin-Clty yesterday, and the dec
orations have only just commenced.
The stars and stripes that are being
used IN the decorations bear out the
true principle Of our government of
which they are mathematical and that
ls-they will not run, SO those who
fear that rain might spoil the colors
need have no further concern about
decorating in advance.
our entire population are preparing
to turn out on the opening day of the
Fair IN order to give our many guests
a royal reception and all those who
are not present at the opening, and
also through the entire Fair, will miss
many rich things which are being care
fully prepared for them. New things
are being daily added to the program
which will both instruct and entertain
the people, many Of which will cost
the managers of the enterprise a con-
siderable sum of money, but re mem
Der to see and hear these things will
cost absolutely nothing
The Fair managers are confidently
expecting 10000 people here during
that week, and it now looks that with
the cheap transportation, VIII oh has
been secured, their fu!les, hopes will
be realized

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-.
writes: "For six years I have been Z
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, H., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
Inoval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

HOW TO PREVENT LYNCHINGS.
Views of a Prominent Negro on the
Southern Problem.

Southern Problem.
A, the Nashville Exposition recently
a conference OF representative coloTed
men from all sections of The country
was held for the purpose of consider
ing all questions affecting the negro
race. Among the number present
was Prof w. H. Council, president of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege for negroes, located at Normal,
Alabama, who was elected chairman.
In opening the conference he made a
speech in which it is said he gave ex-
preston to sentiments which at first
sounded unusual, and called forth
food of criticism from a certain class
of coored men from the North, but
were aferward received by the press
as most dignlfed and helpful con-
tributon to the negro problem
Among other things Prof. Council
said:
sIn this connection | urge this
council of negroes to speak out in no
uncertain tones against outrages COM
mtted against the honor of women
regardless of race or color, and against
lawlessness of every kind. Let us hurl
| all the powers of our being against the
fend who, in violation of Gods hottest
law, and contrary to the laws of the
land, whether by physical force or
| intrigue robs woman Of the most prec-
ious jewel given by Heaven to earth.
The frequency of violence to women
is alarming. We cannot now stop to
argue the nice points as TO the cause OF
the committing of these incarnate
fends into race hitherto with abso-
lutte immunity from them. Nor have
we time to plead that they are not the
trusted servants of our Southern homes,
nor can we stop to appeal from Judge
Lynch to the majesty Of the civil law,
but we must STANDPOINT the crime. Suf-
ficent for US to know that these crimes
are sometimes committed by negroes,
to make us hang our heads in shame
and 60 in sackcloth and ashes.
"Let US restore that sense ofsecuri,y
which white women felt fifty years
ago in the presence of our fathers
under any circumstances and amid the
most forbldding environments. We
must make the humolest white woman
in the remotest and widest part of
our country feel as safe in the pres
ence of a negro man as angelic "Eva"
did alone with her "Uncle Tom.' Let
us make the white women of this land
and of all lands feel that our black
arms are ever ready, backed by hearts
as pure as truth, as guileless as babes,
to defend their honor-that we are
willing to throw our black bodies be-
tween them and their assailan,s, and
shed our blood to the last drop in pro-
tectlng them, and hunting down and
executing these brutes in human
FORM"

Seli defiance.

Fight your own battles, my young
friends, for in this way will you rise to
the grand conviction that honor is to be
preferred to life. The craven hearted
never understand this. Their timidity
causes them to shrink from exposure to
pain, and to them the most sacred of all
duties is to take care of their precious
persons. If they run behind their moth
ers' aprons whenever there is danger or
whenever it is imagined, and if they
put their big brothers perpetuaily be.
tween themselves and assailants they
will probably not be too nice on the srb-
Ject of integrity i'll future years.
Youth of today, new century will
be yours tomorrow. In 4 few more years
its light, that shall fall on our graves,
will shine ON your upward and onward
path. But if you would be equal to its
opportunities and rewards get rid of
your timidity now. Arm yourselves
with courage and strike down the evils
and foes that are ambushed in your
souls. Spare not yourselves. See that
treason turks not in the citadel. Then
array your resources, the strength of
your intellect, the vigor of your will
and the unfaltering loyalty Of an honest
purpose against corruptions, supersti-
ton and the debauching of the public
intellect. Whatever may be the cost,
whatever of immediate sacrifice or of
suffering, do your duty, confident that
God will defend the right.-Dr. George

Tie eager
the young n in
was much testing of his ne.---
and finally, one morning, Alb issue,
forth with his ak and knife, but with
out his spear. He bore, instead, a bow
Which was the best and the strongest
the two had yet learned to fashion. and
q sheaf Of arrows slung behind his bach
in a culver made of a hollow section OF
a mammoth's leg bone which had been
kicked about the cav The two workers
had drilled holes in the bone and passed
thongs through and made.a wooden bot
tom to the thing and now it had found
its purpose. The bow was rude. as
We're the arrows, and the archer was
not yet a certain markSman, though he
practiced diligently, but the bow was
stiff at least, and the arrows had heads
of flint and the arms of the hunter were
as strong as the bow.
There was a weary and fruitless
search for game, but late in the after
noon the youth came upon a Slight
sheer descent along the foot of which
al a shallow but broad creek, beyond
which was a little grass grown valley
where were feeding a fine herd of little
deer. They were feeding in the direc-
ton of the creek and tn wind blew from
them to the hunter, so hat no rumor
OF their danger was carried to them on
the breeze. Alb concealed himself amons
the bushes on the little height and
awaited what might happen. The herd
fed slowly toward him.
AS the deer neared the creek they
grouped themselves together about
where were the greenest and richest
feeding places, and when they reached
the very border of the stream they We're
gathered together in a bunch Of halt
a hundred. They were just beyond the
spears cast from the watcher, out this
was a test, not of the spear, but of the
bow, and the most inexperienced of
archers, shooting from where Alb was
hidden, must strike one of the beasts in
that broad herd. Alb sprang to his feet
and drew his arrow to the head. The
deer gathered for a second in alright,
croWding each other before the wild
bursting away together, and then the
DoW-string tWanged, and the arrow
sang hungrily, and there was the swift
of hundreds Of light feet, and the
little glade was almost silent. 1t was
not quite silent, for, T~oundering in its
death struggles was a single deer,
through which had passed an arrow so
tiercely driven that it's flint head pro-
Jected from the side opposite that which
1T had entered.
Half wild with triumph was the youth
who bore nome the arrOW-Stricken
quarry, and not much more elated was
he than the old man, who heard the
story OF the hunt, and who recognized
at once far more clearly than the
younger II the quality Of the new wea-
pom which a been discovered-the
thing destined to become the greatest
implement, both of chase and warfare.
for thousands of years to come, and
which was to be gradually improved,
even by these two, until it became more
to them than they could yet under
stand.
But the lips of eaCh of the two makers
of the bow We're sealed for q time. All
and old Mok cherished together their
mighty secret.
