Says Charity and Children: For the
life Of US we do not know why a CON
munity wants to break itself to raise
S75 900 to build a cotton factory that
will declare 10 per cent, when one
fifth of that amount will equip half a
dozen spoke and handle or chair fac
tories that will declare Is per cent.
How do we knows Here they are in
brownsville doing that very thing,
and with the labor of men, not babies.

The paper issued by the negro A. &
M. College at Greensboro says: Quite
a number of colored people are leaving
the State for more congenisl quarters.
'"Tis a pity tbs true" The Negro
constitutes alarge part of the yeomanry
Of the Old North State and bis leaving
is sur to affect the industrial interests
thereof. We do not pretend to read
the signs Of the times. We cannot
cast a horoscope Of the future. We
have, however, an abiding faith in
Him who si5teth in the Heavens and
beholdeth the acts Of the sons of men.
Surely the Misunderstanding, the con
tentions, the passions that il fame will
not always be. The ace must under
stand each other. Lch will at last
find out the part God intended for it
to play and perform it we'll. Let
there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee"
Friday night Mr.. John Broughton,
of Garner, telephoned the New 10 and
Observer that he had discovered a
remedy for the splenic fever by the
use of which he thought he had saved
over a dozen Of his COWS that were
suffering from this dreaded disease.
The remedy he describes as a strong
solution made with sun cured manu-
featured tobacco into which is stirred
a generous quantity Of cooking soda
This is used as a wash for the COWS,
and seems very grateful to the suffer,
ing animals. 1t not only kills the ticks,
but its healing effect upon the sores is
rapid and marked. By it's use Mr..
Broughton believes he will prevent any
more deaths among his herd. 1t is
true the strength OF the wash at first
makes the COW drunk or sick, but this
soon wears off, Mr.. Broughton says,
and no further trouble follows, the
COWS, recovery being rapid.

along mat 3riaI and social Ines makes
provision for all it, children to attend
school at least few months in every
year. The church takes up the great
educational power end is establishing
schools all over the land. Great heart.
ed philanthropists are giving Of their
means for the establishment of schools
and colleges. With all theS3 multi
piled advantages no child need grow
up in ignorance. No parent las a
right to deny the child at least the
rudiments Of an education Monroe
