ON THE RACE QUESTION.
The President of a Georgia Society De-
clares the Negro and White Man
Must Part.

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 11.--Pope Brown,
president of the Georgia. Agricultural
society, in calling that body to order
at Quitman yesterday, declared with
emphasis that the time has come when
the negro and white man must part
He asked the society to consider the
race question seriously, as one of the
greatest which confronts the southern
farmer, and declared his own opinion
in favor of colonization of the negro
race. His speech was loudly applauded
by the several hundred farmers present
He said:
The question of labor is one of particular in
tereSt to the farmer. The negro problem is one
in which the farmer is directly interested the
terrible crimes Of negroes force US to consider
the question of dispensing with negro labor
The question is one between the white men of
the south and the negroes The negro leaders
say this is not their home and they are talking
OF colonization schemes. I do not know whether
these are practical or not, but believe it is to
the interest of the people of the south to aid
and abet the negroes in the effort to leave US.
The time has come for the parting of the white
man and negro Shall part in peace or
strife? would say peace and let not stand
upon the cost for the colonization of the negroes

from Hartford. Conn. their home), to
Boston, and wrote beforehand to an &C
quaintance In the latter city, telling him
their line of route and what time he might
expect to see them arrive. The appointed
time was an ideal one for long run, and
the two friends started quite early in the
morning. But neither of them was accus-
toned to long rides, so after II or Is miles
had been. ridden, it became apparent that
each of the riders was waiting for the 9TH
er to say something. Finally Twain said, as
they came in sight of the railway station in a
small town they had entered: Lets take
the train the rest of the way"
OF course Mr.. Twitchell agreed, and so
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up to his
door about one o'clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening, but he
greeted them warmly, and addressing Mr..
Twitchell, said: well, you made pretty
good time, didn't your
'FOh, fairly good time for novices," was
the reply.
''What time did you leave Hartford?'' he
asked of Mr.. Clemens.

HAIL RUINS THE WHEAT.
Crop of 100000 Acres in North Dakota,
Estimated at z, OOO, 900 BusIlcIs, Totally
DestrOyed-Loss Over 81, 100000.

Fargo, N. D., Aug 1.-Two million
bushels of wheat are estimated to have
been lost in yesterdays hailstorm,
which partially destroyed the crop on
nearly $50, 600 acres of land in the state.
Farmers who were busily engaged
were driven to their barns for shelter
and afterward found it unnecessary
to take the binders back to the
fields, as the grain had been
harvested by hail in a few brief mo-
ments. just before II o'clock the
storm struck the northern part of Cass
and the southern part of Trail coun-
ties In addition to a big area over
which hail fell thickly, heavy wind
and transforms completed the destruc-
ton of thousands of acres of grain on
either side of the center of the path of
the hail. Losses are estimated all the
way from 25 to 100 per cent. of the
crop. The money loss is over 81, 600, 600.
