NOTES ABOUT NEIGHBORS,

The Americas Recorder tells this
good one: Ticket Agent Dan Flynn OF
'he Central railroad Office here faced an
appalling dilemma yesterday morning.
On retiring the night previous Re placed
his new trousers, containing his purse,
on chair near an open window. Yes
terday morning he arose az 5 o'clock to
go down and sell tickets for the is
train. There were no trousers. HIS ex-
ira paif were in the round house being
dismantled and rebuilt. He could hear
the train coming He could not afford
to miss selling tickets. His dearest
neighbor, who weighs 31S pounds gross,
was just rising. Flynn explained his
dilemma. His neighbours pants were
sent over in jffy. Flynn weighs only
100 pounds net. But he dOnned that
pair of pants, which looked like a col
Iapsed balloon on guy rope, ami caught
the train. Now he wants to catch Mr..
Niger who swiped his purse and new
| trousers,
"A certain Blakely girl, says the Re-
| porter, declares that the next time she
| goes in an audience and there is any prob.
ability that she will sit near a certain
| Blakely youth she will carry, wrapped
IN her handkerchief, piece of asa
foetida with which t. drown the odor
of sen sen, Hoyt's cologne aud hair oil
She further declares that she had rather
spend an hour IN glue factory than to
entertain the youth the same length OF
time. And yet, this same young fellow
is liable to possess her some day through
the powerful influence of love powders
1t goes without saying that he will nexl
call for love powders and be supplied by
an accommodating druggist.

SCHOOL COMMANDMENTS.

The Monroe Advertiser asks what
has become Of the old-fashioned school
exhibitions and then proceeds to give
expression to the following timely and
sensible remarks:
When we were in the heyday of
childhood we heard much of such en-
tertainments at the close of the school
sessions of the log cabin academies
that in the youth of the republic man.
ufactured the statesmen, jurists, theo-
logians and even some of the presi-
dents of these United States. But,
alas! old Dimes have changed. The log
cabin academies now close with COM
mencement exercises, caption once
applied to the end of a college career
and marking the close of college ses>
sion. "Where are we at" anyhow, in
the educational arena? Have we lost
our knowledge of the true meaning of
words, or have we Outlived the stand
ard leXicOns of the language in our
rapid ascent of the intellectual ladder
that leads from the kindergarten to
the college end of education? When
one reads the commencement an
nouncements, the literary address no
tees, and the baccalaureate sermons
that punctuate the closing exercises of
the so-called high schools, academies,
etc, of the state the question at once
arises IN his mind, what has become
of the old-fashioned schools that closed
with exhibitions or exposltions, as the
school children were accustomed to
say? Everything is humping these
days-upward, onward, hurrah are the
slogans of this progressive age In
step with this sentiment is the tenden-
cy OF our schools to get grown too fast
to become colleges before they shed
their intellectual swaddling cloth es.
This rapid, upward trend of the com
mon schools has frightened our col.
leges to such alarming extent that
every time college professor makes a
speech he selects for his theme higher
education. II this thing doesn't stop
soon the better part of human life
will be spent in the school room in the
vain attempt to secrete. within the
circumference of small Uranium, a
sufficlency of this higher education to
meet the demands of every day life.
The wonder is that one small head can
hold the vast and varied knowledge
now poured into it in its meanderings
in the college period of life, now so en-
bracive in scope.
Commencement exercises" is ster-
eotYped and meaningless expression,
and, like the title of professor, should be
used with care, consistency and good
Judgment in order to subserve the
merit, dignity and true worth of both
schools and teachers.

governors and attorneys general of all

antitrust law to be submitted to all

NEGRO DOES WARNING ACT.
WRITES NOTES AND TACKs THEM TO
~ TREES In CAMPBELL COUNTY.

Orders Negroes to Leave. and Thinking
white People Were Giving Warns
ing They skip the Country.
FAIRBURN, Ca, May PA negro
lad, by the name of Claud Bryant, has
been put in the county Jail here charg-
ed with peculiar offense.
For some time various negroes in the
lower part of the county have been re-
ceiving anonymous notices to leave,
and have left and stood not on the or
der of their going, but usually aban-
doned their hOMes, crops, live stock
and even their families. These notices
were written in fairly good hand,
and threatened the parties with dire
vengeance If the warnings should
not be needed. The negroes naturally
supposed that these warnings came
from white people who were hostile to
them, although frequently assured of
protection by their employers.
Among those who received a notice
to leave was the father of this boy,
Claud Bryant, and at last his notice
read that if he did not leave at once he
would share the same fate as Sam Hose.
About this time the boy was detected
in the act of lacking up one of these
warnings, and upon being questioned
confessed that he had given the one to
his own father to leave. 1t is a
strange case and can only be account
ed for on the supp0sitiOn that the boy
wanted his father to move to town.

AN OLD GRUDGE IN A NEW FORM.

Recent dispatches from St Johns and
Halifax report new friction between Great
Britain and France over the fishery ques-
ton, with a possibility of serious results.
England's hold on Canada has been so long
undisputed and her power there is so firmly
established that one is apt to forget that
the country was originally settled and
colonized by the French and was for a
long time ruled by that power. Even now
some parts of Canada are more French than
English, and French blood and language
crop out everywhere. The long wars be-
tween England and France for supremacy
furnish some of the most interesting chap
tiers in the history of the new world, and
while Englapd's sovereignty has for a long
time been undisputed there is still enough
left Of French rights and claims to cause
some trouble. This is particularly true in
regard to the Newfoundland fisheries. 1t
is surprising. by the way. how much trou-
BILE fish have caused in the world. From the
most ancient to the most recent times. from
the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, from the
seal fisheries on the west to the cod fish
cries on the east, from Indiana to New
foundland and from the lakes to the gulf.
fish have been a source of continual trou-
BILE and sometimes of war. The everlast-
ing fisheries question has figured in every
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain, and il is as unsettled and as much
alive to-day as ever.
The trouble between Great Britain and
France over the Newfoundland fisheries
shows how tenaciously France has chung to
her ancient rights. She did not relinquish
her claim to Newfoundland until long after
she had given up her possessions on the
main land. The treaty of peace In 1713
gave Great Britain the sole sovereignty Of
the island, but stipulated that 1.-The subjects
of France shall be allowed TO catch fish
and dry them on that part of the island
OF Newfoundland which stretches from
Cape Bonavista to the northern point Of the
island, and from thence down the western
side as far as Point Richie" From that
time TO the present there has been more
or less friction between the two govern
ments. and especially between English and
French fishermen regarding the exercise of
this right. Commissions have been APP
pointed and modus vivendis have been
agreed upon, but the root OF the trouble.
the fish in the sea. remained. BY degrees
the French have construed their right to
include the right to control the shore itself.
and have warned British fishermen and
! settlers away from them. The aggrsssions

eous to the great majority of persons, but
is a constant menace to safety. To take
horse upon the street is to endanger the
lives of all who ride behind it, and, as the
case of the unfortunate Miss Grady shows.
the life of innocent persons in their own
homes is threatened. There is an ordinance
forbidding the use of firearms and such
noise-producing devices on the streets but
the ordinance is ignored by those who
should enforce it-presumably on the theory
that public sentiment excuses recklessness
on the Fourth. Before another Fourth
comes the authorities should be made to
understand that it is their business to en-
force the laws on that day as on all others.
