Mr. Erie Pettus, a mem Der Of
the Alabama Constitutional Con-
yeltiOn is Ouly q years old but
he makes up in fool-harliness
what he lacks in years and discrs-
ton. He introduced an amend
ment to the Alabaml Constitution
that ''No negro, black man
or person OF Africm descent shall
be allowed to vote a any fe leral
State, Collty or muljcipL ele :
.tiol in the S ate of A abLm -
Some Ol9 Oughs to s9llthis raw g
numb-skuIl copy o, ,tl,enlIcl-
patton proclamation as he is labor
ing under Il lelusion that it is
''befO de wAh." A1o her delegate
would have it arranged SO that no
cllored m IN be allowed to sit Oh a
jury even where one Of his owu
race Is Oh trial; while Senator
Morgans' plan is to prohibit any
negro from holding Office in the
State. 1t is said that of the 90
educational measures submitted
more than half of them wouli have
the public school money divided
according the prop p)rtioa which
each race pays. While uDne of the
above propositions is likely to
become a part of the nav Sttte
constitution 1t shows the intensity
of race hatred which S il exists
There Is no doubt that the people
who favor these prDpositioas would
gladly rem md the entire colorsd
race to slavery with ali its horrors
and nullify every thing that has
been accomplished by the war O.
the rebellion.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Negro Laments.

1t is indeed SAD to see the differ
ent ates of the Union adopt Con-
stitutioDal Amendments to their
Constitutions disfranchising the
Negro, who has been a faithful ally
TO this Republic.
Through the grace of God he
was emancipated from slavery and
his citizenship established which
has enabled him to accumulate
money and property and compete
with his more fortunate fellow cit
liens in the American body poll
Tic. In several wars of recent
dates the yalOr, patriotism and
loyalty of the black man has never
been questioned. The enemies of
the government have been honored
while her true defenders are being
disfranchised, lynched and other
wise iltreated. Against his friends
the colOred man has stood to main
tain a Nation which has no respect
for him. Is this right or just?
Is there no one to come to the de-
fense of the black man? Does he
deserve the treatment that he is
receiving from those who endea-
vOrea to destroy the Union? When
the cOlOred man sees his wife, his
children and his property taken
away from him and be compelled
to leave and seek refuge in a more
cOngenial climate, are sufficient to
make him lament. The advice of
THE BEE to those who are weak
is to make no resistance neither
should the strong do anything to
create disturbance. The time will
soon come when all natiOnalities
VIII live in peace and harmony.
The Constitutional ConVen-
tion that is now in session at
Richmond, Va, will no doubt
rut itself on record depriving the
colored man of his right to cast
his ballot. If the action of the
several state governments ale right,
the destiny of the Negro is doomed.
If they are wrong then right will
prevail aud the lamenta'ion of the
Negro will come to an end. There
is a God and a just one who will
right all things.

TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS

Never place cut flowers in a draupA,
or in sunlight.
In cutting the ends, snip them of Al
right angles to the stalk.
Do not allow the ends of the stem,
to rest on the bottom of the vase.
Do not place flowers near or unde,
lights-gas or lamp-when it can be
avoided.
Change the water each day, and al
the same time again cut the ends OF
the flower stems.
The ends of the stems Of all flowers
should be cut off before they are
placed in water. 1t is better to strip
the leaves from that part Of the stem
which will be immersed.
Maidenhair fern should be kept
rolled up in mOistened paper and on
the ice, or, with the stems in the wa
ter, in a cool place, until ready for
use. In this way it will last for sono
time.
Mignonette is generally grown in 4
cool house, and for this reason often
droops when first placed in a heated
room. 1t is well to put it in the ice
box in water, for q time, when ii
will revive, harden" and, if properly
cared for each day, ,ast long time.
Many flowers do more satisfactorily
If placed in water with the chill Of
until the stems have become filed, and
are then allowed to stand in an los
chest, or very cool place, for a time
Roses will occasionally revive placed
in ice water-always with the ends Of
the stems previously cut.

to be seen how much the acouisi-

IN the South" It will be a long

like the Southern labor system.
1t is too much like the old federal
system. Admitting its vast capac-
ity for supplying raw material
such as cotton, iron, oil, tobacco,
lumber, rice and sugar, the South
cannot hope for the ull deveolp-

Dust and bacteria.

Some interesting facts concerning
the comparative number Of particles
of dust and bacteria in the air were
communicated to the Royal institu.
ton recently by DR.. Allen Macfayden.
Using Aitken's dust-counter, he found
in an open suburb of London 10000
dust particles in every cubic cent me.
ter of air, while in the heart of the
great town the number of particles.
IN the same volume of air, was 100000
In the open air of London there was
on the average only one mic1 o-or.
ganism TO every 3s,30O,O 600 particles of
dust, and in the air of a room amongst
1S4,OOO,00O dust particles only one or.
ganism could be detected. These facts
DR.. Macfayden said, illustrate the poY.
erty of the air in micro-organisms
even when it is very dusty. Their
continued existence is rendered diff.
cult through the influence of dessica.
ton and sunlight. Drying up is one of
natures favorite methods of getting
rid Of bacteria.-Science.
