him and gone to the cotton patch. He
earned IS cents to 81 o day blacking
shoes, but he has gone to the field,
where he can pick M 're than hum
dred pounds of cotton and get 40 cents
for it.; but out there he could talk and
laugh and carry on with the other ne
groes and have good time. Who
ever heard of negro tramp going
around begging for something to eat?
Well, now, if they are so contented
and happy, why does anybody want to
disturb them about politics or social
equality? But we are going to see fun
alive before long.
The negroes in the islands we have
taken will give our northern brethren
enough to do and to think about, and
maybe they will let us alone for a
while. 1 see that Cardinal Gibbons
has been expressing his opinion about
the negro problem, and he advises us
to have property qualification for
voters. Well, the New England states
have got that now and say it works
we'll. South Carolina and Mississippi
require an educational qualification,
but my opinion is that voter ought
10 have one or the other, either prop
erty enough to make him interested in
his government or education enough
to understand it. The greatest menace
to good government is the purchasable
votes of illiterate vagabonds, both
white and black. Good gracious! how
fast we are all living now. A month
is longer than n year used to be.
What with these thanksgiving SER
mons with the thanks left out, what
with Spain and Cuba and the Philip
pines and the treaty and the war in
vestigation and the movement of our
troops and the devilment of the negro
soldiers and the attitudes of the great
powers toward us and the low price of
cotton and the Atlanta Jubilee and
the coming of Santa Claus and the aw-
fnl wrecks on the coast and the sui
cides and divorces and lynchings and
vendettas and devilment in general our
minds are kept strained every day and
we wonder what the next daily paper
will record. May the good Lord have
pity upon us all, is my prayer. Bill

Style is Not
Ruled by Prices.

You can pay the highest kind of prices for your
clothes, yet it does not always follow that you
get the style you ought to get. Oftentimes the
highest priced kind the stiffest, most unyield-
ing, most ungraceful clothes made making the
wearer look if he had to stand a certain way
to make them fit That can't be said of our
clothes. Our strong point is lots of style at
moderate price.
