Mr.. Roosevelts first bad break
which came sooner than it was lo"ke,i
for, is still the principal topic Of con
versation in Washington. The more
his followers try to excuse his having
entertained Booker T. Washington
at dinner, the worse they make the
thing appear to those who oppose
anything even approaching social
equality between whites and negroes.
yhey cite the time President Cleve-
land entertained negroes, but they
have to acknowledge that at every
such occasion it was an official enter
tainment. and that the negro or
negroes present were there in their
official capacity. There was nothing
official about Mr.. Roosevelt's enter
rainment of Booker Washington.
Booker holds no official position, and
he was doubtless as much surprised
as the country was when he was in.
yited to dine with M. Roosevelt az
the White House. That Booker had
too much sense to expect that sort of
a thing was shown when he arranged
to have President Mckinley enters
tained by prominent white ci'izen
when be went to Tuskegse to talk to
the students Of Booker's school.
There is, Of course, no law against II
white man entertaining a negro at
dinner, and Mr.. Roosevelt can do 80
whenever he plesses, but the average
white man, whether from the South
or any other section, will have his
opinion, and he need not be surprised
if many express their opinions
bluntly. How the break is regarded
by prominent Republicans may b.
Judged from the fact that not Q single
one has publicly said word in it,
defence, while lots. of them have fully
expressed their disgust-privately OF
course; Mr.. Roosevelt has many
official favors to dispose Of. If Mr..
Roosevelt will do q little thinking
during his visit to Yale, to participate
in the bicentennial this week, he may
begin to realize what the American
people at large think of his bad break.
Adjurant General Corbin's annual
report contains several paragraphs
that are likely to provoke adverse
comment on the floor Of Congress at
the coming session. He seems to
hsye the Sampson idea that no man
ought to hold q commission who ia

In order to get rid Of a portion of
the vast sun in excess Of the needs Of
Government that has been exacted
from the people of the United States,
the, Secretary Of the Treasury has
beeh paying for bonds an average Of
Si.36 for every dollar due for them.
That is to say, where man invested
three dollars in government bonds he
is receiving four in return, not
through any rise in the market value
but simply because the government
cannot afford to store the money
away from the channels of trade.
When it is noted furthur that this
money is extorted from all of uS
simply in order to maintain the
protection to the steel and other
trusts, it's outrageous character be-
comes even more evident.

President Roosevelt has designated
Thursday, Nov. 2Sth as Thanksgiv-
ing day, in his proclamation he says: ::
thanksgiving finds the people
still-bowed in sorrow for the death Of
great and good President. We
mourn President Mckinley because
we loved and honored him. Yet, in
spite Of great disaster, nevertheless
no people on earth have such abund-
ant causes for thanksgiving as we
have in the past year. In particular
it has been one of peace and plenty.
We have prospered in things natural
and have been able to work for our
own uplifting in things intellectual
and spiritual"

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

The following short chapter of ad-
vice to the Southern farmer is going
the rounds, and appears to present
some points that are worthy Of con-
sideration;
Food for man and beast is usually
purchased at a very high rate of in
terest, "an unreasonably high rate"
The merchant is strained during the
summer season, and cannot afford to
take the risk of selling to an improvi-
dent farmer without Charging well
for food supplies" Harvest comes
and the cotton is delivered to the mer-
chant, and in many cases the farmer
must then seek credit to begain his
next crop. $50 long as such condit-
ions exist, the South will not prosper
with the North and East" The cotton
acreage must be reduced and some-
thing else substituted. "One- forth
the acreage In cotton ifput in pastur-
age will supply meat and lard, milk
and butter for home use The hay
and hnlls and meat that 60 from town
to the farm could as well be produced
on the farm" One acre properly
cultivated will furnish feed for the
poultry. A halfacrs will produce
more rice than an ordinary family
will consume in year. The eggs
produced on farm should pay for all
the sugar and coffe. What is left Of
the fourth of the usual cotton acreage
will make a goat and sheep pasture
which will supply mutton fully six
months in the year.
Let the farmer plant half bis usual
acrerge OF cotton, Cultivate IL we'll,
and sell it for cash, owing nothing
for the crop, and he will be happy,
his merchant relieved and both pros
porous If any farmer does not be-
Iieve in this plan he will do we'll to
try it. "Men can live at home and
prosper. They will never prosper
making cotton to buy bread, meat
hay, molasses and lard"
There may be some merit in the
suggestions. Certainly, the condition
of the average all-cotton farmer, year
after year, Indicates that it is worth
trying.

is little surprising that the report
does not recommend that the Adju,ant
General of the army be given the
title Of prince and be addressed as
''y"ur highness.
The gall of Mr.. Hutin, the presi-
dent of the French Panama Canal
Company, who is in Washington
again, is unimpared. He has been
holding conferences with members of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, and
has also been to the State Department
several times. His mission is no
secret one-he has never tried to
make it such. His object is to defeat
congressional legislation providing
for the Nicaragua Canal, and he
doesn't appear to be oyer scrspuous
as tp now he does it.
Representative Dewey, of New
Orleans, has some very decided ideas
on the administration proposal To give
Cuba tariff concessions on some Of
it, products. He said on the subject:
ITO give Cuba free markets III this
country, with her wonderful natural
resources, would mean the abrnlute

PISTOL TOTING.

The Commercial Appeal reports an
interesting incident which occurred
in Memphis last Friday, as follows
''It took Judge Cooper exactly
three minutes by the clock yesterday
to dispose Of pistol 'toter.'
The testimony was direct. The
court cut it to skeleton story, in
structing the witness to get down to
the essentials straightway, and al.
most before the defendants council
realized the fact Jim Robinson had
been docketed with $50 fine and
sixty days in the work house.
The attorney wished to know il

cerstion in the Jail would 60 against

IN HARNESS AGAIN.

Well, We, that is The TINES party,
have been to the Fair, and are all
back again safe and sound, and the
girls, bless their hearts, were just rs
happy and cheerful and full Of life
and fun as il they all belonged to one
family and had known each other all
their lives. It certainly did one good
to see the pleasure they derived from
the trip and from each others society.
We certainly felt it quite an honor
to be in charge Of this select party Of
happy and pretty girls. 1t did us
world Of good to gaze into their beam
ing faces. Il was needless for them
to tell US that they were enjoying
the trip, anyone could see that they
were. They were perfectly content
to 60 where we lead, and we tried to
be very careful with our precious
trust. And the greatest enjoyment
Of the trip to US was the evidence Of
the fact that the girls were well
pleased, and were having a good
time. After the officers declared the
girls the blue ribbon girls of the fair,
the girls declared their editor the
blue ribbon editor, and one Of the
beauties tied q pretty bow knot of
the blue ribbon, and another pinned
the same on our coat, he then con-
sidered himself one Of the most i'm
portant personages on the grounds,
and certainly in charge Of the most
beautiful bevy Of young ladies on the
grounds. 1 could not help smiling
at the many glances Of envy cast in
our direction by others who wished
it was their good fortune to be in my
shoes. The occasion was one filled
to overfowing with pleasure and hap
piness, and The TINES Editor and
Manager wish to express their sim
cere appreciation Of the courteous
treatment shown the editor and his
party by the officers Of the State Fair
Association, Secretary Holloway and
President Evans especially, and we
hope to have the pleasure Of meeting
these gentlemen again. 1t has been
suggested that we arrange for meet
ing of this party at some future time.
We will think about it, and may be
able to arrange q reunion next sum-
mer. We hope to have letter for
publication from each Of the young
ladies. We wish for each long and
happy life and may your pleasures
never be less than those experienced
with The TIMES Party in The Trip
to The State Fair.

dition to the beautiful badge given
