SOUNDING THE ALARM

The whites of the south ai
becoming alarmed over II.
superior advancement G.
Negro education in that SCI
ton as compared with til.
whites. A noted southern
writer comments on the fac
that Industrial education j.
almost entirely neglected b.
the whites while there are u
number of Negro industrial
schools.
Bishop Gambler of Georgi
says: Colleges for Negroc
are better equipped than those
for the whites, and their super
iority in this particular is in
creasing rapidly. Booker 7.
Washington can get mogn
money for his school in al,
hours speech in Boston or
New York than any president
of white college can get III
a years campaign amoun:.
our own race. Now let this
sort of thing go on for an
other twenty-five years and
undesirable conditions will
arise bringing to pass results
injurious to both races"
Just what remedy the Bis
hop would suggest for this
alarm ng condition of affairs
he fails to state, but surely
he would not raise his voice
against the continuation of the
liberal donations made tho
wealthy whites of the north,
the betttr the conditions OF
the unfortunate blacks of the
south.
The education of the head
hand and heart is the only
salvation for the Negro. And
it is the only thing that rid
him of his objectional featuIes
and properly fit himf or cit.
zenship.
Bishop Gambler represents
that class of citizens who
object to contact with the
Negro because of his ignor-
ance, immortality and vice,
and should encourage any
effort that is being put forth
to better his condition.
No race has ever made the
advancement in the same
length of time, that the Negro
has since his freedom. Why
not encourage him to con-
tinue?

Hops Grow Wild In English Comities.
1t is a somewhat remarkable fact
that the hop, although only cultivated
in few districts in a few English
counties, yet grows freely in a wild
condition In very many places. It is
a perennial, Towering in July and Au-
gust, and to be found in hedges and
thickets. The plant is only cultivated.
for instance, in the northeastern por-
tions of Hampshire. and about Peters
field, and even there 1t does not cover
5000 acres in all. It grows and -four
lshes. however, in wild state all over
the county, including the Isle Of WiEnt.

THE WASHINGTON
HUMANE SOCIETY.

Ihe latest monthly report of
the Washinton Humane Society
is rather interesting, as showing
what can be accomplished by such
an organization in the brief period
of thirty one days, in a city of
three hundred thousand inhabi.
tants. Among the results of its
labors we find the death of one
hundred and twenty-four cats.
At first sight this may seem cur
curious business for humane
society-kllling cats-but one
remembers the numbers of miser-
cradle, half starved, diseased
feline creatures which crawl about
the alleys Of every city and town,
1t is plain to put these cats out of
their misery is not only merciful
to them but protection to healthy
animals which are liable to con-
tract disease from them.
Eighteen horses, unfit to work
or to enjoy life, were also killed
by agents of the society. Sixty
three animals unfit to work were
relieved from labor. Two hund
red and twenty four cases of cruel
ty to animals, brought to the no.
.lce of the society, were remedied
without prosecution, while the
prosecutions amounted only to
xty-four, in all but thaee of
which the prisoner was convict, d
Among the cases of ill-treatment
of animals Of which the society
took cognizance were six cases of
cruel beating, two of overleadlng,
twenty-three of driving when
CALLED, and thIrty.onc of driving
when lame.
The chief good accomplished
by the sociery, however, is indl.
rect rather than direct. For every
man who is punished for cruel
tr yatment of his house or dog.
there are several who take warn
ing by his example. There is
usually small crowd about when
the arrests occur, and every mem
Der of that crowd is forclbly i'm
pressed with the fact that it is no
longer safe to misuse dumb ami
mails. Moreover when the man Is
convicted and fined all his neigh
bors usually know about it, and
not seldom the matter is brought
to the attention of his employer
The upshot of the whole matter Is
that gradually, but surely, the
public is being educated in the
right direction. ;iuman bein s
are creatures of habit and prece,
dent, and a verv little of either
goes long way.
Columbia needs such society
as this and needs it bad, Judging
from the looks of some of the
rack of bones used as draught
horses in this city.-The Weekly

Unfortunate Young Was

On the c. & A. Tracks.


city Tuesday afternoon for Cen
tralia he either intended to COM
NIT suicide-or he didn't. With
the facts that could be gathered
by the writer he rather favors the
latter theory. 1t don't seem pos
sible that any right minded man
would choose to die in the manner
in which he did when there are so
many easier roads to the vast be
yond that could have been taken
1t is said that Wear tried to
kill himself last Sunday. Tablets
were taken from him which were
said to contain morphine. The
story goes that two girls were IN
love with him and jealous of each
other, thereby making his life a
burden.
Minnie Barkwell Perkins is
quoted as saying that Wear came
to her mothers house Tuesday
fternoon and had bottle of
morphine tablets, of which he
took a handful, declaring he had
nothing more to live for and had
made up his mind 10 die.
He also remarked to a young
girl just before leaving on what
proved to be his last ride, "you'll
never lay your eyes on me again. -
These known facts lead many
to think that Wear deliberately
laid down on the track in front of
tn, fast mail at Centralia, Tues
day night and waited for the iron
monster to crush HIM out of ex-
istence.
At 10 O clock he was in JON
sons saloon in Centralla and
pawned his overcoat for fifty
cents. He was then under the
influence of liquor. Next morn
ing his body was picked up in
sections. The head was off-the
legs were a mass of crushed flesh
and bones.
Coroner Parker accompanied
by T. G. Scruegs, who went to
Centralia to identify the body,
held an inquest. Mr.. Scruggs
scouts the idea of suicide. He
attended the inquest, heard the
evidence and his theory is that
Wear was crossing the G q A.
tracks when he was struck by the
passenger train. Wear had beer
at house just across the track
} to get lodging and was refused
starting for town abo 1t the tim'
the Chicago & Alton train was due

SOCIAL INFLUENCES
OF THE CHURCH.
BY REV. j. ARLINGTON GRANT.

BY REV. j. ARLINGTON GRANT.
1t has become a trite saying
that christians live below
their privileges; not less true
is it that the church fails to
use it's opportunities.
In many places this is the
most potent factor, in country
more than in city, it is the
centre Of thought, and social
activity. The sermon, the
Sunday School, the various
young peoples organizations
are the living themes of spec
ial interest and the chief topic
of conversation.
This fact alone throws great
responsibility on the church
for the character of the 4oci-
ETY. and the life of the COM
munity to which the influence
extends.
Its power of giving direc-
ton to thought and action is
beyond estimation.
Again. the church does not
appreciate power and does not
exert it's whole influence in
the spheres not purely, but
nevertheless deeply affect
spiritual life.
Low much the church de-
pends on education? 1t is not
uncommon for christian par
ents to commit the education
of their children to others
without so much as inquiring
about their teachers and in
structors. Whence but from
christian and the church can
we expect the ethical and the
religious elements to come
which are needed in education
What people read helps to
mould their character and de-
termine their christian life
and their relation to the
church.
As has been well said by
Rev. Parsons 1T will be con-
sidered almost criminal indif-
ference if a matter of so great
Importance is allowed to pass
without our most careful con-
sideration.
Nor is it of less Importance
for the church to give wise
direction to recreation and
amusement.
The church should er deav'
or to save its young peopl'
from Obstructive and degrad
ing influences, frivolous anc
corrupting amusements.

suffers from it and the churcf
is also effected.
