LIST OF A MILLION VOTERS.
viii Support Bryan With a Prohibition
Plank,
The Chicago Record says:

The Chicago Record says:
1t developed today that the prohibi-
tionists of the United States expect to
90 before the Democratic National
Convention at Kanses City July 4
with list of l, 100000 voters pledged
to support w. j. Bryan if the demo-
cratic party will adopt a prohibition
plank in it's platform. The advocates
of the movement do not expect the
democrats to favor such plank, but
they believe and insist that it will be
the entering wedge that will finally
split one or the other of the two great
parties and build upon the ruins the
foundation of u new party.
Many of the delegates upon hearing
of the action to be taken at Kansas
City wanted 20 know today why the
matter was not taken up with the re
publican convention at Philadelphia
Inquiry, however, showed the list o
then pledges was not complete.

WORSE AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
Outlook for the Negro in the Northern States
Was Never so Meager.

The negro" says the Boston Ad
vertiser (Rep.), never occupied so
poor a status in the northern states.
his outlook never was so meager as
now. We do not refer solely to his
political status, but in all the avenues
of elevation he occupies a distinctly
worse position than he did thirty
years ago. Once in a while the negro
is re cognized; once in a while he gets
a petty Office or a tolerated position in
some educational, professional or phi
lanthropIc work. But, as whole, the
position of the colOred man is distinct
ly refrigerated, and the outlook for
the individual colored youth is
poorer now than then. He gets bet
ter wagers here and there, he may
wear better clothes. he may lay up a
little more money, but, all in all, the
young colored man and young colored
woman starting in life today in the
northern states has absolutely as we'll
as relatively poorer show than they
had when the civil war closed"

IT Is KILLING COTTON.
BLACK ROOT is DOING GREAT
DAr1AGEIN SOUTH GEORGIA.
Due to Excessive DampnesS With
Lack of Sunshine. Commits
sioner Stevens Talks.

Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
tells the Atlanta Journal that black
root, very damaging disease, has
been discovered in the cotton crop
in South Georgia.
Reports have been coming in from
the farmers for the past few days tell
ing him of peculiar color the cotton
has and describing the roots OF the
cotton plant to be black: Remedies
for the disease were asked for.
Mr.. Stevens in speaking of black
root says:
"Black root is a terrible thing for
cotton. 1t always destroys it and II
the reports l have been getting for
the last few days are true the cotton
crop has been greatly damaged and
the loss will amount to thousands OF
dollars,
''It is not the first time the disease
has appeared. | remember it in 1895
when I had six hundred acres OF cot
ton planted. A portion of my crol
was affected and seventy-five acres
completely destroyed.
"The disease is a peculiar one
caused entirely by wet weather anC
little sunshine. 1t first affects the
main root of the cotton plant, which
turns black. The plant takes sickl1
color and gradually dies. | regre
very much to hear of the disease APP
pearing in Georgia, as it will NEAR
much for the farmer. If the weather
continues wet | have no doubt bu
that all the crop will be affected.
$50 far the black root has been re
ported only in south Georgia. There
is no remedy for it. but think if there
should be a few days of sunshine {
larger portion of the crop would bt
saved.
SAT present the outlook for croI
is the most gloomy I have ever known
The cotton is no good, the corn ha'
lost all its color. being absolutely
drowned out, and even the trees are
taking on a second growth"

CHRISTOPHER PEST.
Great Danger to Wheat in the Floyd River
Valley.

Swarms of grasshoppers are DESTROY
ing the wheat and other grain on
thousands of acres n the Floyd River
valley of northwestern Iowa.
Already the fields are turning brown
as result of the ravages of the pests
which in 1896 brought such suffering
to the rural districts of Iowa. For five
miles up the valley the prospects are
that the crops will prove almost to-
tai failure. Previous reports have
been that the crop although meagre
in the Dakotas would be up to the nor

year has been expected.

The Doe and Her FaWn,

Fawns Wien fist droppld- are for
some hours unable to stand. The doe
does not remain beside them, but PAGES
slowly around at a considerable dis
lance. Every now and then she gives
a little tremulOus, bleating call, at sound
of which the fawn lifts its head and
tries to struggle to it's feet. Should a
man or a dog appear meantime the doe
runs away in q straight line, but lag.
gingly and halting, as though herself
hurt unto death. When she thinks she
has lured the enemy far enough away,
she gives three great flying leaps, which
take her at once out of sight, and goes
back to her baby upon seven league
boots. But If left undisturbed she
keeps up the pacing until she sees the
fawn standing, then PAGES daintily
away in a straight line, choosing al
ways the easiest grade AS she PAGES
she calls family and every now and
then halts, looking over her shoulder
to see If she is followed.
