Would Not Eat With George White

A Washington dispatch OF recent
date says:
Race prejudice has caused tho recall
of invitations sent out by Congressman
Charles F. Sprague, of Massachusetts,,
to members of the House District 0!
Columbia Committee to dine with
him.
By an overnight Sprague sent an in
vltation to George H. White, the North
Carolina negro member of Congress
who is a member of the committee.
Representative Otey, OF Virginia, who
is Southern gentleman OF the old
school, suspected that White had been
invited to the dinner and he refused tc
accept Sprague's hospitality. Othe1
members sent destinations, and as II
finally dawned upon Mr.. Sprague thai
he would have to break bread with
himself and the negro White alone, 81
decided to cali off the dinner and vii
get up another one to which the mem
bers of the committee Will be invited
as individual member of Congress. II
this way White viii not be invited.
The incident has excited much CON-
ment in the House.
Northern as we'll as Southern mem
beers refused to eat with the negro mem
Der.
White is probably the last of the ne
gro members OF Congress. He goe
out on March 4 and will be succeeded
by a Democrat.
It is not believed another negro viii
ever be elected to Congress.

La GRIPPE QUICKLY CURED.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 ]
was taken down with a severe attack
of what is called La Grippe" says F. l.
Hewett, prominent druggist OF Win
field, Ill. "The only medicine used
was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t broke up the cold and
stopped the coughing like magic, and
I have never since been troubled with
Grippe" Chamberlain Cough Rom
endy can always be depended upon tt
break up severe cold and ward of
any threatened attack of pneumonia
1t is pleasant to take, too, which makes
it most desirable and one of the mos
popular preparations in use for these
ailments. For sale by E. T White

4 CareTree Farmer.

Farm Magazine.
Mr.. J. Pope Brown, OF Georgia, re-
Gently expressed great satisfaction at
the outcome OF his farming operations
during the pass year, as all his crops
were good except his sugar-cane, which
had not sufficient rain in the spring.
Of course. bis cotton crop OF 400 or
800 bales as all that could be desired
but perhaps tho most interesting
statement made by him was that he
had enough corn On hand to last him
two years, more than enough wheat to
keep him in flour for year, and about
80 900 pounds OF meat. With such
su,D1v of life staples any farmer would
b. free from care about the price OF the
staple for market.

The question Of whether it is better
to pillow in tho fall and winter or in the
spring, is answered by the question as
to the character of the land. 1t Is BET
ter to turn over a sod 50 that it can be de-
caylng better to cover under all stub
BILE or manures, for the Same reason.
Ii the the soil is loan, Or sandy and
light, it is better to prepare it in the
autumn and winter, but If clay and
heavy, there is no advantage in tall and
winter blowing, except as turning IN
manure, az the heavy rains will cause
the soil to pack and run together again
PERHAPS to a worse condition than be-
fore blowing. eve do not concur IN
this: we believe the amelioratlng Ell
feet of even the short winters we have
In the South to be Of lnestimable ad-
| vantage.-ED.) Heavy clay lands must
be plowed late and, hence, are noS as
| favorable for most crops as sandy
loaul. And this suggests that clay
lands are stronger and Will give better
and more lasting results If the farmer
Will afford the expense OF preparing
them. by mixing in beavyssamount OF
vegetable matter.
III had farm, lying nearly level
and OF too heavy soil, should consider
it the most profitable thing I could dc
to cover it two or three inches with
sand. Find sand bed, and keep the
hired man and cart steadily at work
at the less pressing times carting sand
upon the the clay bottoms. Run
disc over the land, turn it eeyen to ten
inches deep, and as an additional i'm
proyement follow with a subsoiler, and
from practical experience know that
there will be little difficulty in planting
early, or fear OF drouths.

Remain quietly at home and take

Matters are by no means mended in
the strike matter by the order of Presi-
dent Shaffer directing the men to re-
turn to work, at least in this locality.
There is more excitement at present in
E-nwood than at any time since the
strike began. The failure of the Anal
gan.ted headquarters at Pittsburg to
give out the terms on which the strike
had been settled caused a great deal
OF irritation among the men who
seemed to feel that going to work
without knowing on what terms was
like taking a leap in the dark. They
insisted, many OF them, on being in
formed on the matter before return
ing to work, and. as they stand to-
Fsthe9 for that reason none of them
went to the mills at Bellaire or Ben
wood.
Al the latter place 1t was stated by a
member of the Association that Wal
ter Larkins, District Vice President,
had notified the men rot to go near

Manager McDonnid's Views.
Manager Mcdonald. of the Bellaire
steel plant when asked by a reporter
for the Register yesterday If the works
would start up on Monday as rumored,
frst said he had read so in the news
papers" After joking in this way with
the reporter a bit. Mr. Mcdonald re-
turned to business. and said he thought
the strike had been mistake on the
part Of the men because they did not
have sufficient ground for such strike.
He said notices had been posted, stat
ing that the Bellaire plant would start
up next Monday morning at six o'clock,
and that all men who wished to secure
positions in the mill must apply for
them to the management by Saturday
evening next The notice also states
that the plant will be started and run
rs a non-union one. He said the men
would be doing themselves an injustic.
now that the strike had been called off,
il they did not embrace the oppor-
tunity to return to work.
1t is beyond question. as previously
stated in the Register exclusively, that
the management will, under the terms
of settlement of the strike, as they IN
derstand it, start the mill now only as
a non-union mill, If they can possibly
do so, or not start it until they can
do it in that way
The action is thought by many to
lead to the conclusion that by the terms
of the settlement all mills non-union
when the strike was declared are to
remain so on resumption Of work.

q prominent steel man. There
fore they are now in the posi-
ton OF man who throws up a Job

his employer to determine"
1t was stated, positively, by one in
a position to know whereof he spoke,
that when the Riverside Tube Works
are started up it will be as non-union
or rather-so far as the Association Is
concerned-as Independent mills. On
The other hand the Association mill
workers declare that they will not
work under those conditions and that
the mills therefore, will not start as

The committee returned at five
o'clock yesterday, and Immediately on
its arrival Chairman Davis was seen

We're true that Bellaire Steel. Plant
would unaer the settlement start up
as a non-union mill.

and | say 1t OH the authority OF Mr..
Shaffer that the Bellaire Steel Plaht
vail be a union plant, under the agree
inert" said MIR. Davis, as he hurried
away N meet the men assembling at
the hall to hear his report.
On the other hand two members OF
the management of the plant had at
different times during the day stated
to business men that it would start up
as a non-union plant.
Thus. it would appear that, the ma
tional strike having been declared
off by President Shaffer, and there be-
ing local lodges who are not satisned
with the terms of settlement, these To-
calls may continue the fight on their
Gwn hook.
The situation in Martins Ferry and
Bridgeport is less complicated. The
