AN OLD MILL GoNE.-Kinsley Mills
st Bucklsud will never CRIED again
The dam is gone, the building long un
used Is almost 10 ruins. They are put
sing up big merchant mill Just half Q
mile above It, and 1t looks 90 II the OLD
mill was doomed. This Is . said thought
TO those who remember it 10 fourisbing
days, when wsgon after wagon stood II,
line to get to the doors and the mill
bows played marbles or swan 10 toe
translucent water. Every building
about the place YVES kept freshly paint
ed or whitswashed. 10 the dwelling,
on the hill, WAS the cherry family oil
Dslsphanes of all ages living 10 the
sweetest harmony with each other and
with genuine kindness towards all the
world. Most OF the older members rest
under the clods Of the valley and the
Younger ones are scattered ia every
direction. Every spring on occasional
rose bush or hardy jODquil tries 10
perpetuate old memories, but the weeds
add the wild berries crowd them ruth
lessly and before the spring days are
over q wild waste covers the place.

ROOSEVELT AND WASHINGTON.

Some representatives of the Bourbon
aristocracy of the south are finding
fault with President Roosevelt for en-
tertaining Booker L. Washington at
dinner in the White House. The Mem
phis Commercial Appeal and other
southern papers are inclined to be bit
ter in denouncing this act of hospitali-
ty and recognition of ability and man
ly worth. But this exhibition of dis
pleasure at President Roosevelt's act
will only react upon those so free with
their censure. Ii reveals the intense
racial hatred existing toward the color
ed man, hatred that does not recog-
nize personal worth, talent or educa-
tion. And this animosity is what is, to
a large extent, holding the south back
in social and material progress IL the
people would encourage the develop.
ment of such characters as Booker
Washington instead of placing obsta.
cles in their way by keeping alive their
ancient prejudices, they would have
fewer lynchings and higher standard
of morality.
The Atlanta Constitution recognizes
the fact that the negroes are in the
south to stay and the sooner they are
educated and made worthy citizens the
better ii will be for all concerned. This
is Booker 7. Washington's mission on
earth and with zeal and devotion that
commands the admiration and encour.
agement Of all fair and just men he is
doing great work. IL is as such, and
as the foremost man of his race that
President Roosevelt extended him ex-
ceptional recognition. Mr.. Washing.
ton was his private guest. 1t was no
state function and it was creditable to
the presidents heart and brain that he
should place worth and manhood above
considerations of color.
1t is not every white mans privilege
to place his feet under the White
House mahogany and few will be the

We will not permit our position to be
misconstrued on this question. Our
contention has been and is now that
there are great stretches of elevated
lands and plateaus which are not sus-
ceptible of irrigation by canals or res
ervoirs or natural catch basins though
such lands frequently contain local
springs the waters of which the indi-
vidual with some means can utilize
without government aid. II this Is
true and there can be no question
about it, why should the laws be re.
pealed and the progress Of the state
brought TO n standstill while we mus,
wait for the general government 10
attempt the impossible? Then, again,
there are some lands in remote and in.
accessible regions-say the bad lands
for instance-which cannot be watered
at all, save from the clouds, which
among its crags and peaks and ravine'
afford feed for stock. We contenC
that it would be better If there were {
law more liberal than any now on tn,
statute books for the requirement o.
such lands. At present they return N,
revenue TO any one save the open rang,
men. AS soon as title passed to the in
dividual or a company they would re
turn revenue to the government, to tn,
state, to the county and to the public
schools.
