GOOD ADVICE TO THE NEGROES.

W. II. Council the president Of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College for Ne
groes at Huntsville. Ala, has on several
occasions given evidence of the possession
Of a good deal Of common sense in discuss
ing the race problem. His letter TO the
president of the Afro-American Council at
present in session in Chicago. indicates
that he is better qualified to lead his race
than many of those who pretend to be its
leaders, and who are regarded as such.
In the course of his letter Prof. Council
says that he hopes that the Chicago coun-.
ell will impress upon the negroes the ne
cessity for showing that as a race they do
not sympathize with crime, but are always
in favor of UNFOLDING the law. He wants
the council to call attention to the fact
that the negroes are negiecting to properly
educate and train their children-that too
many of the negro boys are becoming i'd
lers and criminals. He thinks it advsa-
bic that the council adopt some means for
inspiring the young men of the negro race
with desire to become skillful mechanics,
good business men and desirable Iaborers.
The advice of Prof. Council is good, and
if adopted will bear better fruit than the
resolution which some of the members of
the council propose to introduce, namely, a
resolution condemning President Mckinley
for not using all the power of the govern
ment to punish those who lynch negroes.
If Prof Councils advice is adopted and
the negroes act on it in good faith, there
will be no lynching of negroes. Negroes
who are good citizens are not lynched.
Nobody ever heard of respectable and law
abiding negroes being disturbed by a mob,
with the exception probably of cases like
that at Lake City, S. c. In that case
| there was politics. Let negroes live hon
est and upright lives and they will never
be disturbed by lynchers or interfered with
in any way.
Prof. Council has the right idea. In or
der TO stop lynching the negroes must be
| taught to be moral. honest and industrious.
At present too large a percentage of them
are idle, shiftless and immoral The work
of lifting them to a higher plane of civili-
cation is an immense one, but it must be
accomplished before they will cease to fur
TO provide victims for mob violence. II is
apparently unjust 10 condemn all the ne
groes for the crimes of a small percentage
of them, but the fact that all OF them
are blamed ought to influence the bet
ter class of negroes to make special eff
| forts for The moral and material advance
ment Of their race

TWO OPINIONS.

In its issue of Thursday the New York
Commercial Advertiser says: Bryan is
willing to buy the presidential nominal. on
with silence on the silver question" We
have as yet failed 10 see any evidence that
he is willing 10 do anything Of the kind.
It is true that some of the newspapers
are trying 10 make il appear that in the
speeches he delivered at Des Moines, Ia,
during The meeting of the Democratic state
convention there this week. he expressed
willingness To have the silver question
side-tracked, and other issues made para
mount but there is evidence that he was
as aegressively in favor Of silver at Des
Noincs as he had been al any previous
time The Democrats of Iowa re-affirmed
the Chicago platform, and they did it with
the entire approval OF Mr.. Bryan. There
could he no stronger Endorsement of SILVER
than that A special TO the New York
Tribune IN respect 10 Mr.. Bryans speeches
an Des Moines, says: Mr.. Bryan handled
the money question in the same spirit that
he has exhibited toward il since he was
nominated for President three years ago
Instead Of advising Democrats TO retreat
from the position they have been holding
he urged them to stand for everything
they have been standing for" 1t is evident
from the foregoing that persistent effort
is being made to put Mr.. Bryan in a false
position.
There is no doubt that it is Mr.. Bryan's
purpose to stand for all that he stood for
in 1896. That being the case what chance
has he for being again nominated
by his party? As far as we are
abe to see he will have
very little opposition. 1t looks very much
as if he would be the unanimous choice
of his party. STIR many things may hap
pen before the meeting of the national
convention to change the political situa-
ton Col Mcclure, editor of the Phlla-
delphia Times, an Independent paper with
Democratic leanings, in a leading editorial
last Thursday said: THE Democrats will
not nominate William j Bryan for Presi-
dent next year for two reasons, viz: First.
they couldn't come within sight of an cleo
ton with him as their candidate; and, sec
ond, he represents no vital Democratic
principle"
Col. Mcclure has the reputation of being
a very able politician, and a far seeing
one, but it is doubtful If his assertion that
the Democrats will not nominate Mr.. Bry-
an will be given serious consideration in
any part of the country or by politicians
Of either of the political parties. There
may be forces at work against Mr. Bryan
of which the public knows nothing, and of
which Col. Mcclure is informed, but the
probabilities are that he knows nothing
more about the opposition to Mr.. Bryan
than any other keen political observer.
That being the case his assertion that the
Democrats will not nominate Mr. Bryan
has no special Importance.

Stories of J. Fl. Bonnen.

l guess bankruptcy will not hurt him

Press, Of J. Harper Bonneil. who recently
became a bankrupt. Presently he will be

per, one Of The founders OF the great house
OF Harper Brothers, in financial trouble?

manufacturers out of the United States,

vigor of brain and Drawn.
Printing ink is made by mixing SCOT or
lampblack with a transparent boiled oil
that is sticky, the mass remaining fluid,
but rapidly drying and adhesive even when
laid in a very thin coating on a sheet of
paper. Bonnell sold ink 10 the late
George W. Childs, and loves 20 tell this lit
tie story: one day Childs said to him:
"Bonnell, l like your ink, but it has one
fault" Bouuell expressed much regret,
and inquired what the fault was. you do
not charge enough for it," said the owner
of The Ledger. The price was raised. The
next express brought a fine engraving of
Mr. Childs. which is still IN Bonnells pos
session, highly priced, for it's connec-
tion, says the bankrupt with a fault of
which l have not since been accused"
Bonnen tells a story on old John Har-
per, his grandfather. He happened to be
passing the Astor House, when Commo-
dore Vanderbilt nearly ran into him. With
a careless nod he walked on, and fmme-
diately made a very polite bow 20 another
person. Being asked how he came to treat
the latter, a plan-loolling citizen, so cere-
moniousy while he scarcely noticed the
millionaire. he replied: That is one of
my compositors; he will think more of it."

Tennessee has adopted an extremely
practical and a wise method of showing
appreciation of her soldiers who fought in
the Philippines, and instead of a lot of
buster and blow, brass bands and BAN
quets, committee is now engaged in the
work of securing good business positions
for the members of the regiment, many
of whom will need them upon being mus

committees to look after the interests of

At the University of Chicago there are

both very well acquainted with young
coed in one of the ladies' halls says the

not be a sister to him and fix him for the
performance.
"Why, certainly" she replied; 'just
send them over to the hall"

THE SCARCITY OF PEACHES.

The luscious peach is indeed a luxury
this season. The Georgia crop, as is, of
course, well known, was practically de
stroyed by the freezing weather in the
latter part of last winter and in the early
spring. The Maryland and Delaware
peach crops have suffered likewise, and
though their destruction is attributed
largely to the disease known as the "yeI-
lows" it is probable that the cold wealth
er had as much TO do with il as anything
else. New Jersey is more fortunate in
that the orchards in certain sections of
that state did not suffer materially either
from frosts or from disease. Even in
New Jersey, however, there will be only
about half a crop, as all sections of that
state did not fare so well in this respect
a few orchards were preserved in Mich
igau, and the owners of those that es-
capped damage, are now gathering small
fortunes from them. The consequence is
that the California orchards have been
called upon to supply in part the defcien-
cy in the Eastern and Southern crops. The
California fruit which is sent East, as
is well known. is lacking in flavor, due to
to be picked green in order to stand ship
ping, and as a rule they are far from sat
isfactory.
The Georgia peach belt has supplied
few peaches 10 the Northern and East
ern markets this year. and those who
were fortunate enough to be able to ship
them realized extraordinary profits as
ses IA
than a good peach. and nowhere is it
brought nearer TO perfection than in the
Georgia orchards. The great demand for
the Georgia peach in seasons Of plenty
is an abundant evidence of this assertion.
The Georgia peach belt extends along the
entire western part of the state from Ma
con south to the Florida line, and though
the fruit can be prohtably grown in other
sections Of the state. it is there that it
thrlves best and is developed in its great
est lusclousness. That belt takes In the
famous Fort Valley and Marshallville Or
chards which have a national reputation.
There are thousands of acres IN that sec
ton which have not been developed and
which will produce fruit as fine as that
which comes from the orchards near Fort
Valley and Marshallvine. It is to be
expected that now and then a fruit crop
will suffer from severe weather, as do all
other crops from that or some other cause.
But such destruction here is. if anything,
less frequent than Is the case with North
ern orchards. The Southern trees, how.
ever are hardy and survive the severest
winters known in the South. The peacn
tree too, is considered capable Of further
development and may yet be made TO bear
its fruit in spite Of frost and disease.
Nowhere is there a fruit section that pre-
sents all the advantages that can be- found
IN Southwest Georgia. II is one that
should command the attention Of capital
which IS seeking a profitable Investment.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Daily News Qnd) says:
war must have been aroused in the minds
of many men who yesterday read of the
journey which a Chicagoan, once a slave
holder, has undertaken to save the life
Of his one-time slave. The eX-s.ave liv-
ing in Maryland, has been doomed to die
upon the gallows; the master, hundreds
of miles away believes his former chattel
innocent, and hurries to the rescue. Not
even the smoke of war, the vlcissitudes
of fortune or the passing of nearly forty
years has made the white man forget the
colored. or the master lose his interest
in the faithful servant of the past. There
have been many such romances of old
slave and old Shareholder since the war,
and the hurried ride of the Chicagoan 20
the aid of his antebelium servant is one
of the most touching stories of them all"
The Baltimore Herald (Dem) says;

Controller Coler is one of Greater New

that concern 100000 a year for forty

endeavoring to push through the city coun-
ell. From the fact that this corporation
is controlled by Republican machine lead
ers, the action of the Tammany politicians
in trying to push it through is taken to
mean that Croker and Plat have come

The New York Journal says that Mr.

said practically the same thing recently in
an article in the New York Journal. But,
then. it must not be forgotten that Mr..
Watterson and the Journal are of the opin-
ion that they know very considerable
more than anybody else.
