Negroes Not Dying Out.

The tabulation of population by sex,
nativity and color under the census OF
1900 shows that the negro is numerically
holding his own. Those who predicted
that because Of essential inferiority the
negro would die out as a race find no
support in the returns. The negro is
running along so closely with the white,
whenever the figures have been tabulated,
as TO indicate that, for better or worse,
he has gained firm foothold on this
continent, and one from which he is not
likely soon to be dislodged. From the
figures at hand, it seems probable that
the negro population of the United States
in 1900 was between 100000 and
1850, 900 The ratio that the negro
bears to the totaf1n the States already
counted, il applied to the whole country,
would give oops 900, excluding Indian
Territory, where perhaps there are 15,-
600 more. II that estimate be admitted
as valid, it will make the negro consti-
tute lis per cent. OF the total pOpula-
tion OF the country, as against 11.9 de-
cade ags;Rhe loss being due to the great
er growth OF the northen States, and not
to any less proportion Of negroes in the
South.

Mr.. Chambers Early Lesson
Washington POst.)


1t was always noticed Of William +.
Chandler. while in the Senate, that he
never allowed the present moment to
pass when he had anything to do. The
word "procrastination was not in his
lexicon. This lesson he had had drilled
into him early by his mother, a New Eng
land woman of sturdy conscience and
character. Once, when he came home for
a holiday from an academy six miles dis
tant, she discovered that he had left his
umbrella at school.
William" said she, "yOu need not
take off your hat. Go right back and
fetch that umbrella" ="
"But, m other, pleaded the lad; that 3
six miles, and the teams are all moving
this way now, so shant get lift"
"Then walk" was all the comfort he
got.
He trudged off, recovered his umbrella,
and made a philosophical application OF
this and other experiences in the same
line to the business which filed his life at
a later stage.

Mustn't Slap Mosquitoes.


Baltimoreans have heard so much OF
the mosquito lately, particularly since
City Councilman Brown has advanced an
idea by which he thinks the city can be.
freed from this little pest, which disturbs
the slumbers of those who are compelled
to remain in town these warm summer
nights, that it may be ofinterest to know
how the insect secures it's meals ofhuman
blood.
First of all, the scientists say that by
nature tine mosquito is a vegetarian that
the taste for blood is an acquired habit,
and that it is only the female which has
developed this abnormal appetite. While
not disputing the truthfulness OF the
scientists statement, it would seem that
the pernicious habit of blOod-sucking,
which is INDUCED in by the lady mosqui-
toes, must at least be hereditary, for, as
far back as the history of man goes it is
known that wherever there were mOsqui-
toes, they sucked the blood OF man and
beast alike
There are more than 240 species OF the
gnats, Of which the culex varieties make
up three-fourths. 1t is the culex species
with which we have had to deal, for it is
that variety that sings about our heads
at night, incidentally punctuating their
mllabies with q vicious thrust of the pro-
boscis into our cuticle. Through this pro-
boscis, which is made up of nine parts,
the blood is sucked. Two lancet-shaped
pieces, called mandibles and maxillae, are
on either side and prepare the way for
the insertion of the proboscis. At the
ends OF the maxillae are o number OF
spine-like barbs, and these enable the
mosquito to fasten itself to its victim.
A sheath incloses all the other parts, ex-
cept the lower lips, which, at its end is
dilated into a pair of iointed valves.
These are the valves which suck up the
blood.
As the probscis is forced into ones
skin the sheath covering it is forced back,
revealing on either side pair of many
jointed appendages, known as the maxi
larry paipi, and which, it is thought, aid
in secreting the poison from glands in the
proboscis.
The poison glands are so minute, and
such a small quantity of poisonis elected,
that the scientists say if people would
not scratch the puncture with their finger
nails, thereby irritating the bite, the itch
ing would soon pass away and no ILL
effects would be manifested. Let the
mosquito take his meal uninterrupted,
further say the scientists, and not even
an itching sensation win be left from lthe
bite. 1t is the slapping at the pest
which causes it to tear loose from its
victim and eject the poison.
This statement may be true and 1t may
be logical. But one would like TO see a
scientist sleeping quietly with swarm
of mosquitoes singing about him and
biting him, and he not raising hand in
protest. He would have to be endowed
with more than ordinary human patience
to carry out the theory.-Baltimore

WONDERFUL WELLS.
Texas the Heaviest on-PrOducing state.

The world il just awakening 10 the fact
that Texas is the greatest oil-producing
State in the world. The statement made
that the oil craze would be- over in a few
weeks has proved untrue, and each day
brings new people and new capital into
the Beaumont oil district
This district embraces about $50 acres
Ol land in Southeastern Texas, near the
city Of Beaumont. The oil fields OF Cali
fornia and Ohio are now far behind in the
great struggle for supremacy in produc-
tion Of oil, the great gusher district OF
Beaumont now having a capacity of
double all other oil fields combined.
In this district are located fourteen oil
"gushers, 50 called on account Of their
spouting into the air to height Of 200
feet to 400 feet.
The fact that fourteen of these wells
Qocated in n district only 2j0 acres in
area have an average capacity of 90
600 to 20 900 barrels Of oil per day seems
incredible, yet investigation has proved
the truth of this statement.
Each barrel of oil has value of from
30 to 60 cents, 80 that each well earns
for it's owners $25O 900 per day, or the
enormous sum of over $4,000, 900 per
year
Land held by the government, on
which a tax of 81 per year would not
be paid, has since the tenth OF January
last, sold at unheard-oi prices In the
Beaumont Gusher District land gradually
increased in value to $4,000, then TO
500, 900 per acre. 4 few weeks ago a
sale OF land was made at $4,000 per
acre. and now its owners would not sell
for 100000 per acre Never in the his
tory of the development of real estate
has such price been attained in such a
short time.

Your correspondent recently spent two

bones Of the ancient dead were unearthed.
\ number of relic seekers had visited these
graves before me, and found many pieces
of pottery, beads, arrow points, toma-

beads, drilled with stone drills, and other
relics with me

fedcrate General, and whose great grand
mother was n Miss Alsop. OF this county,
and whose grandfather was born in
King George and received wound at
Yorktown in the Revolutionary war
which made him a cripple for life, and fl
nally died in Louisa county, gave me
much information concerning these an
cient tribes of red men.
The kanawa. Guawasa, and Manocal
tribes. who used 10 meet the Pamuneys,
and Mattaponis in battle, inhabited that
country along New river. The Pamun-
keys still exist in King William county.
The Sciotas and Shawnecs, of Ohio
came to New river in 1920 and waged
war upon the Guawasas, KanawGs, and
Manocals. After many days Of hard
fighting the two latter tribes nearly ex-
terminated the three former tribes

nation The last battle was fought
at Egglcston below Radiord. The Shaw

"A tribe near Blacksburg in 1905.
In 1919 Gov. Burkley sent Wood to
survey that county. When he, with his
guides, arrived near New river and
saw the fog, they concluded that
they had reached an ocean. The river
was named Woods river. They also
discovered a stalk of corn which the In

buried along the river, and will await
