LET THE SOUTH ALONE.

= There are no Independent thinkers
in the North who have not reached
the conclusion that the South alone
is competent to handle the negro
questions. In line with the express
sions of DR.. Albion w Small. in his
address at Wake Forest last week,
we give the following interview with
Hon. John Barrett, ex-N1inister to
Spain. "A few days ago:
AS to the race problem, | believe
that the Northerners should leave
that to the SOutherners to settle, and
we can count on their doing it better
than if we intervene and bring out
sectional feeling and distrust. The
South today is doing all in it's power
to raise the moral. educational and
industrial status of the negro, even if
it naturally objects to his political
control. In this connection it can
be said that it is the race question
alone that keeps the South solid in
politics. Otherwise the new material
development with all its qualifications
would make the Southern States Re-
publican or Democratic according as
their interests were best safe

COTTON ACREAGE.

Latham, Alexander. & Co., have re-
ceived replies to letters written by
1900 cotton merchants, cotton plan
ters, bankers and others in the cotton
belt i'll reply to questions relating
to the coming cotton crop. The total
increase of cotton acreage in the
United States for 1900 is 40 per
cent or 1,222,47 acres more than last
year, and the average planting of the
crop is about fifteen days later than
last year. In North Carolina, it is
thirteen days later than usual, where
as it is Is days later in Louisiana and

The War-.A War Measure.
(Wilson Times.)


1t was not the fault of the colored peo-
pie that they were made free. No one
should blame them for desiring or ac-
cepting it.
The war was a punishment sad and
sore on the Southern people. The coun-
try has never seemed to me since then
as it did before. When the North over
powered and overwhelmed the South, and
stript them of much of their property,
and slew the flower of her people, that
should have been enough TO appease their
wrath Had noble and magnanimous
statesmen ruled in the Congress, and had
a more generous spirit dwelt in the
Northern heart, they would have pitied
their Southern brethren-so much great
err were they the sufferers; but bitter
and revengeful counsels ruled in the
North, and still greater vengeance was
wreaked on the South. Their Severest
act Of revenge was the depriving white
men Of the privilege of taking an active
part in national and State legislation, I'M
less it was done by servile submission
to all their dictatons, and investing their
ignorant former slaves with full right
to vote and to enact obnoxious laws to
rule their former masters.
| lived in a county where negroes held
office and ruled that could not write
their names. This was true in the neigh
borhood | lived in, and | was placed under
that sort of government.
Such conduct by the United States Gov
eminent is reproach and shame to the
North.
Were the negroes fitted at such time
to vote, and to control the elections by
their votes, placing the Southern white
race, that cherished their manhood and
love of liberty, in abject servility?

the finance committee of the Univer-
sity for number of years, hence is

fronting that side of the management
Of the University.

the University of Virginia, and later
on at Bonn, Germany, and then Phi
ID. from the University of Goe:iingen
Germany. He is the author of several
text books on chemistry, some OF
lists and scientific meh. Also he has
written some sixty able papers on sci
entific subjects, which have been pub
lished in American and foreign jour
mails.
Among the honors that have been
bestowed upon him is the presidency
of the North Carolina Section of the
American Chemical Society, secretary
and vice-president of the Section of
Chemistry in the American .lssocid-
ton for the Advancement of Science
and member of the Council-at-Lar
of the American Chemical Society,
through which he is known at home
and abroad.
His father was on Gen. Lees staff
at Gettysburg. His father was also
professor at the Universities of Geo.
gia and Virginia, subsequently, being
chairman of the faculty at The latter
institution. Some years ago J'r. Ven
able married the daughter of that
greatly beloved man, DR.. John Man

Miniature Painter from Indiana.

The success that Amalie Kussner,
now Mrs. Coudert, the miniature paint
er, has made in her art, not only in
this country but also abroad, is an
instance of what may be achieved by
industry. indomitable energy and
cleverness. There are other minia-
ture painters whose work Is technic-
ally as fine as that OF the Kussner
miniatures. 1t was the artists knack
of quickly understanding the style of
her sitter and posing her in such a
way that the picture represented the
temperament of the subject deftly
idealized that won her first vogue
with fashionable women. Miss Kuss-
ner, unlike Meissonier, would never
affront wealthy patron by painting
her wrinkles in all their reality. She
always fiattered her sitters. but so deli
cate'y that the likeness was true. Thus
she became popular, and her own wit
and tact won her prestige that she has
never. allowed to grow less. Mrs.
Coudert was born in Indiana.

the use of petroleum during summer,
the application to be made on the
trunks and large branches of the trees

this has been done the trees have died,
simply being unable in their full
growth to stand the strong petroleum.
On the other hand, applications during
the winter in this same manner have
done great deal of good. In the light

use petroleum, either diluted or un-
diluted, as an insecticide during the

Pig Troughs.

pigs they should have the trough room
in length, not in depth. The pig
troughs see around the country seem
many OF them to have been construct
ed with. the object OF affording bath
accommodation for their pigs; so deep
and wide that the pigs take headers
right into them. The room should be
in length, not In, depth, for all kinds
Of pigs, and the troughs should be kept
clean. Pigs have the reputation Of
being filthy animals, but pig will
keep itself clean II 1t gets instruction
