district are entitle to at least one
delegate and the republican managers
of the district can pay no more de

meet in their caucas to select Mr.,
Woodson as one of their delegate
which would be the higest honor ever
yet extended to color man in the
state.

CITY ELECTION.

AS the opposing candidates for the

gining 10 grow warmer. John Mac
Vicar heads the regular republican
ticket and Jerry Hartenbower, leads
the citizens. The latter ticket was
placed in the field by the anti-repub-

the unfairness and fraud practiced
by the Mac Vicar republicans at the
primary, the gag, and bluff methods
used in the convention; also gangs
of repeaters they voted, and then
would not consider the contest which
was filed in the convention led those
who was opposed of the method to
organize a citizen ticket. Now
comes question what must the Myrei

ences do? Must they acquiesce or
must they vote the citizen ticket?
That is the question.
The Bystander as a Republican

it should not support the regular re

nomination may have been secured
wrongfully. First, there would be

A Baby's Cry.

"A moderately intimate acquaintance
with infants enables one to distin.
guish, almost from birth, three cries
the healthy yell, by which the child ex.
ercises his lungs, the fretting of mod.
crate discomfort, and the acute cry Of
pain, the latter two including at firs,
hunger. thirst, and dissatisfaction.
BY the end Of three months the nurse
or mother should be able TO distin-
guish the fretting of actual physical
discomfort from that of reytlessness.
and the sharp cry of pain from the
less acute announcement of thirst,
hunger, ETC., while anger imparts a
characteristic quality to the cry. II
the baby Is comfortably dressed and
properly fed he will be less likely to be
fretful and crying.-Dr. A. l.. Bene-

AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY

Dark Continent To Undergoing . Won.
dsrful Transformation. ..l..
From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
Of the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that OF the
United States, a population Of 100000
600, soil and climate capable of in
finite variety of production, a rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies of ivory, gold and dia-
monds, its development under the mod
ern methods which are now being ap-
piled to it is practically assured. The
home of the oldest civilization, it Is
the touch Of the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
OF mystery without and ignorance
within, it is today Illuminated by the
searchlight of modern methods, and as
its Importance and attractions are be-
ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 2,OOO,-
900 Europeans scattered over its vast
area, acquainting themselves with It's
natural conditions and requirements,
with the steamer, the railroad the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to it's
darkest corner. Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowing. 1t was
only after the explorer3-Livingsto
Speke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered, through persistent and heroic
effects, that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths Of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa, and
then, in tWinkling. the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, vast European
"hinterland." Between 1884 and 1898
an area two and half times the size
of the United States, and containing
population of 10O,0OO,00O, was par
celed out by an agreement Of the Eu-
ropean powers. At present scarcely .
foot Of African territory remains un-
claimed.
