Negroes sometimes express themselves
as fellcitously as do the Irish. Here is a
case copied from a Texas paper. Some time
ago one of Texas widely known states
men, who is now dead, was passing along
a street in Dallas when an old colored
man who had once belonged to him ap-
preached, took of his hat, and passed a
hand over his white wool as he asked
Marster. gin de old man 80 cents"
Dan, you are robber."

opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.
Didn't you see me put my hand in my
pocket"
Yes, sah."

pleasure of giving you money without be-

The old man received a dollar. Bow n :
almost to the ground. while tears came out
and coursed through the aged prints
around his eyes, he replied:
"Marster, wid-wtd such aheart as you
hab. and with Abraham and Isaac and de
Lord on your side, don't see what can
keep you out of heaben."

salutation when two or more gentlemen

1t would be an inshlt for Il gentleman to

MR. roMPIxrNs, ADDRESS.

The address which Mr.. D. A. Tompkips
delivered al the Theater last night was a
very interesting one. and coutaired much
worthy of the careful consideration of the
people of this community who are seeking
ways for building up the city and provid-
ing employment for the incoming popula-
ton. While all Of his views on public
questions may not be approved, there can
be no doubt that he is thorough student
of the Industrial interests of the South. He
understands the problems involved in
building up industries in communities, haV-
ing had long experience in sowing them.
What he said about the necessity of
opening avenues for employment of young
men was particularly striking. If they
cannot find employment at home they will
go elsewhere. As matter of fact the
South Is losing many of her brightest
young men. They are 10 be found all
through the East and West The great
industrial development that is just begin
ming in the South will have a tendency TO
keep them in this section. One kind Of
manufacturing will lead to another and to
business enterprises, and in these the
young men Will Iltitl the O1'pOh tuiitt'SS 49,
employment which are now lacking.
The idea that the climate of the South Is
not adapted 10 manufacturing s mis-
taken one. In Mr.. Tompkins
opinion the climate is about the
best in the world. and he ex-
poets the time to come when the very fin
est kinds of cotton goods will be made in
the South The employees of factories
which make the finer class of cotton goods
earn wages which enable them no. only
to live in good style, but TO have even the
luxuries of life.
Mr. Tompkins thinks that Savannah
should give her attention to those kinds of
manufacturing which naturally belong 10
a commercial city. He gives his reasons
for this view, and they appear TO be vey
sound ones Savannah should develop her
manufacturing interests along with her
commercial interests, just as Philadelphia
is doing. That this can be done success
fully Mr.. Tompkins hasn't a doubt. In
deed as he pointed out. she is doing that
now, though not to the extent that her adj
vantages and opportunities permit. He
did not say that what Savannah needed
was more public spirit on the part of her
citizens who have money for investment,
but he limited al something of the kind by
saying that that was what was lacking in
many towns. Money goes away for in
vestment that could be invested just as ad-
vantageously here.
Mr. Tomplkins said many things which
will sink deeply in the minds of those
who heard his address and, we have no
doubt, will be productive of good results.

The Analogy Not Conclusive.

II doubt" said Western lawyer, as he
passed through the Office of the Hotel
Netherland, says the New York Tribune,
there being any authority for spelling
the word that way" The friend looked
at the word pointed out on a sign, which
was babies" ''Why, what's the matter
with it, Judge?" he inquired well, why
shouldn't 1t be spelled 'b-a-b-y-s, not
'b-a-b-i-e-s,' as It is there? Do. you know
any authority for spelling it that way?'
was the reply The Judges friend hes
itated. He knew perfectly well that the
spelling on the sign was correct, or at
least he though he did, but the other
hand. the Judge was a man of great legal
attachments and admittedly highly edu-
Gated, and for such an inquiry to come
from such source withous an authority
at hand which he could consult gave a
him loath to commit himself Casting
about in his mind for an answer the word
ladies' presented itself, and ne promptly
made response. 81 think the spelling cor
rect. Take the word lady, plural lad
les Judge. BY analogy the plural
of baby should therefore, be b-a-b-i-e-s -
THAT sounds reasonable returned the
eminent jurist, as he refectively stroke
his chin. But he added. as though still
in doubt, st is hardly conclusive for
only half the babies are ladies' The
other man looked at him silently for a mo-
ment. and then great light came to him,
and, linking his arm in that of the Judge,
he said as he led the Judge toward the
cafe, the drinks are on me-"
