ILLlTERACY IN The SOUTI..

At dinner given recently in New York
by the Executive Board Of the Southern
Educational Conference, we are told that
On E. a. Alderman, of New Orleans.
one of the field directors, astonished his
hearers with the statement that but one
out of every four whites in the South
could read and write. and that a similar
state of affairs existed among the blacks
This is a startling statement and we
cannot believe that DR.. Alderman made
it. If he did we are astonished that it
was not challenged then and there, and
as it was printed in a prominent New
York newspaper, we are astonished that
it has not since been challenged. It can
not be true. So far as our information
goes it is very wide of the mark. Accord
ing to the census of 1900 the percentage
of native-born literate and illiterate
voters in the States named was as fol-
lows:

Under the heading DE Senectute." the
New York Tribune says
For reasons entirely unknown, to us,
various and widely scattered portions of
the countryside are all stirred up over
the question Of longevity and the pre-
cautions necessary TO achieve it. We
are in receipt of a letter frcm a person
who signs himself 'Tattersall Higgins
of~Podnnls Centre, w. Va, who gives us
the gladstone intelligence that his grand
father lived to be i03 in the shade. and
had been a moderate drinker since boy
hood. i never saw him drunk says Tat
tersaIl, but there was always liquor in
his house, and some of it disappeared
every day. Presumably. Tattersali is
following in the jocund way marked out
by his bibuIous ancestor. May he live to
see his Observation-Disclosures!
.'But just as we had been persuaded by
the argument and example of the Hig-
ginses, and were about to take steps to
insure for ourselves green old age. To-!
there came fitting throught the fields Of

pride that his great-grandmother had
died at the moderately ripe age OF 113
and that throughout her life she neither
drank nor smoked. and attributed her
tight hold on existence to that fact.
This new. and important evidence stag
gered our previous determination so rude
Eiy that we paused on our way to Red

be unable to mention ofhand the names
of two or three women OF their acquain-
t;lnce who lived to be atEleast eighty. Or
ninety, and who never drank or smoked.
On the other hand, we recall with sudden
horror our acquaintance with several
men who Stunned not the wine cup nor
the weed, and who persisted I'M
timely. These considerations, taken
by themselves. appear \ convincing; but
the plot is thickened by still another
correspondent by the name of Thorn
Mills. r. T. SpratL could not rest
content until he had communicated
the intelligence that, his father had
died at the age of ninety-eight. and. for
fifty years had eaten two hard-bolled
eggs each night just before retiring.
Srratt himself is seventy-two. ana IS

to live to be 1876, as he began on the hard

the Humpty-Dumptfes and has kept a
poultry yard busy ever since. Both the

ElGhlY-FlvE MILES AN HOUR BY TROLLEY

The problem Of over-crowded cities which
has occupied the sleeping and waking
hours of SO many retormers, seems to be
at last possible Of solution by means of
rapid transit. We hold it to be self-evi-
dent that the average, normal, sensible
man would rather live in the country
where he could have little plot of era SO
before his door with a little garden be-
hind his house, if IN other respects he
had the protection, advantages and sani-
tary facilities of city life. For we be-
leve that this same sensible and sane
minded man had rather that his children
should live in the country and go occa-
slonal!y to the theatre or art galleries
of great city than play in the streets
Of that city with semi-occasonal visits
to the green grass and fresh air of the
country. in which they were made to
live. 1t has been the conflict between
.hese two possibilities with a larger meas
ure of physical comfort on the side of city
life. that has caused the congestion such
as that seen IN London, New York or
Chicago. Nor has it yet been apparent
how it would be possible TO offer at The
same cost Of living the same bodily COM
forts and pleasurable eXcitements for the
mind for those who wish to remain with
out the cities.
Rapid transit has been limited at as a
possible solution OF this difficulty, but
the trouble has been to get the transit
rapid enough to save that loss in time
which is so precious to tho daily wage
Garner. It is. therefore, of great interest
to observe what has recently been done
between Berlin and Zossen. Germany,
where an electric street railway has been
run over ordinary railway tracks. taking
ITS current from overhead wires and car
tying from fifty to sixty passengers at a
speed of from eighty to ons hundred and

Taliaferro Had a Very Narrow Escape from
GaIl0ws.


William Henry Taliaferro. a negro man
as black as the ace Of spades, was con-
victed of murder in the Hastings Court
last night, and his punishment was liked
at eighteen years in the penitentiary.
In last September Taliaferro shot down
and killed Douglass RUSSELL also colored.
The crime was committed in Taliaferro's
gambling house, near Eleventh and Byrd
Streets. There was q row about a deck
of cards Taliaferro escaped TO Manches-
ter, where he was arrested shortly after
the crime was committed. Several of the
jurors were in favor OF. hanging when
the first ballot was taken. but they finally
agreed TO the verdict OF murder in the
second degree.

members OF the Richmond bar, defended

There it is again. We can not only do
the work better<and cheaper but we can
turn it out more quickly than our foreign
competitors, for the simple reason that
we have better labor and better machine
~ and better methods generally of do
ing business than the foreigners have.
The foreigners do business by hard and

Germany, there are embarrassing Govern
ment regulations; in this country our
rule is TO do the very best that can be
done. regardless of what was the method
of our fathers.
