eminent sculptor who had a studio in
the most picturesque part of the old
city was frequently visited by Mrs.
Franklin.
One day the sculptor intimated that
he was working on one of his master
pieces. and he would like to show it to
Mrs. Franklin. She made a special call
to inspect the marble with Mrs. Fol-
som.
Here it is, madam" said the sculp-
tor, throwing off the drapings. What
do you think of it|'

was the reply. "Of course it's beautl-

Deacon White, Reporter,

Deacon Stephen V. White is the ideal
man from the newspaper reporters

"They must have paid slashing big

The deacon laughed, probably at the
thought of his reportorial earnings and
the millions he had made in Wan

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

We Thought we'd seen the last of scraps
Or that at least war soon would cease,
For all the world was talking peace.
The nations TO the Hague had sent
Their delegates, wise men. intent
On making plans 50 each dispute
Would not call armies ont to shoot,
The conference to thus end war
Was fathered by the famous ear,
And at his invitation men
Poured I'm 10 stop war there and then.
For weeks they talked, for months the,
planned,
And then twas told in every land
That there was cause to jubilate,
For all disputes they'd arbitratc.
But ere the ink had feirly dried
ON plans that they had ratified
The muttcrings of war arose,
And there was gathering Of foes.
The ear increased his ornaments,
The kaisers war zeal grew intense,
In Britain's fleets new ships were lined,
And France was not 50 far behind
Soon near the southern Afric shores
John Bull was graphing with the Beers;
They fought DER veldt, they fought DER hill,
And what is worse, they are fighting still
Our Uncle Sam was busy, too.
In thrashiug Aguinaldo's crew,
And though in every fight he won,
The battling there is not yet done,
The Chinese now are raising Cain
Though that its war is not made plain
With Yankee, Briton, Frenchman, Jap,
Germans and Russians in the scrap.
They're fighting hard that's not in doubt,
70 put the heather Chunks to r0ut,
And ere there's ending of that fray
There'l hc the very deuce to pay
And here and there throughout the world
The flags of war have been unfurled,
With armies growing by degrees
And natives prowling round the seas.
Just when twill end It's hard to say.
For things seem getting worse each day,
And strange enough, these rows immense

The white supremacy suffrage
amendment to the North Carolina
constitution was received by ma
jority at election on Thursday. The
negroes generally abstained from vo-
ting, understanding that it would
not be safe for them to attemrt to eX-
press an opinion. Many white re-
publicans and populsts were UNI
doubtedly intimidated by the demo-
cratic Red shirts The effect in
the change of the states organic law,
the democratic chairman says is "to
disfrauChise $1,000 illterate negroes"
1t has some other effects not coutem-
plated by its advocates. 1t has cN-
posed Mr., Bryan's hypocrisy.
The new North Carolina suffrage
law provides that all voters, with the
exception presently To be noted, must
be able to read and write In the Eu-
glish language any section of the
constitution, must have paid poll tax,
must have the usual residential
qualiileatlons,and must beregistered
in their several precincts. With
these provisions no great fault can
be found, An educational qualifca-

ENGLISH SPARROWs.

have been asked several times late
~ ut what date the common English
sparrows were imported into the Unit
Ell States and by whom.
Ii seems that the first Attempt was
made in 1853 by private citizen OF
Portland, Me. In the fall of that year
he liberated six sparrows, and they i'm
meuiately made themselves at home
IN his garden and outbuildings. For
few years these birds and their de-
scendants were seen Ia and about the
town in small squads. These birds
multiplied until in the winter Of 1871
a flock of them appeared in every near
by town, thus showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1860 - birds were imported
and liberated near Madison square,
New York city, and this was repeated
for several seasons.
In 1864 the commissioners Of New
York liberated IA birds in Central park.
About this time numerous persons re-
turning from abroad brought q few
