Heaviest of Flying birds.

The heaviest bird that flies is the
great bustard. In size it exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about IS pounds, but when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful in western Eu,
rope as cartridges. Now they are
rarely found. They may occasionally
be seen on the Dnieper and on the coast
of the Caspian sean. Y. Sun.

Mr.. Adams needs no defense at our

self and in most emphatic terms. The
service he sent out was gilt edged. 1t
was carefully edited and was just the
kind of matter that colored newspapers
supporting the republican candidates,
should use. But people who live
in glass houses should not throw
stones. The "ready print services
sent out by Mr. Adams was gotten up
in such a way that it could be cut up
into any form and thus give eve.

vice and to most excellent advantage
The Record, however, uses in each
issue only one-fourth Of '.home print"
aud the other three -fourths is plate
matter, such as is used in country
weeklies and backwoods newspapers.
1t would be a boon to the colored
press if, as Editor Timothy Thomas

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1900.
HON. GEO. n. WHITE.

There is a host of good men in the
recent campaign who gave the party
such brilliant and excellent service
that we have been unable to give them
all the credit which is due them for
their great work. But of the many
whose lot it was to do conspicuous work
for the party none rendered more ef,
fective service than Hon. George 81.
White, the only Afro-Amerlcan Con-
gresham. None did more telling
work and none deserve more credit.
He contributed largely to the great
victory of the republican party. The
demand on him for speechmaking was
great indeed, and by working day and
night, Mr.. White was only able to fill
a few of the engagements. BE spoke
in the West, Middle West and the
East. and the results in these States
speak in the strongest terms.
Mr.. White never shirked from duty.
The state of New York was the battle
around from which MIR. White brings
the greatest trophies. Mr.. White is
the only present member of Congress
Of our race. He has been true repre-
sentative of our interests in the bread
est sense, He has been q prominent
figure in North Carolina, since he en-
tered public life. He has been mem.
Der of both houses of the state legisla-
ture, and was for eight years the state
solicitor for the second district for North
Carolina. His career in the National
House has been marked by brilliant
service fer the racs.
Mr.. White is undecided whether he
will give up bis citizenship in the state
of North Carolina or not, but hopes for
better conditions since the reelection
of President Mckinley. He is yet hope
full for his state, since he expects the
coming session OF Congress to consider
the subject of distranchisement at the
South.

Senator Scott does not think It fair
to the North, for the South to have
representatives who represent moth

to remedy the evil. He is Just in plac,
to do 1t.

The great political battle is over and
the right prevailed. 1t is the duty of
all citizens to return to their peaceful
vocations. The Afro'American has
gained much by the reelection of Pres.
ident VIM. Mckinley and the victory
for Republican principles. Let him
take advantage OF every opportunity
and prove himself worthy of the great
and good things he helped to achieve.
