SCRANTON, MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY NOVEMBER g. 1901.
TENDING THE LIGHT.

With nothing but waves to seaward
And the grim rocks toward the land,
The roll Of the black clouds over,
And breakers on every hand;
The night comes down on the ocean,
And we climb the winding stair
To see that our lights are piercing
The thick'ning, foggy air. 4.
Alone on rock in the desert
OF tumbling and tossing tide;
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide.
Alone, and we wonder dimly
II the foghorn reaches the shore,
Or pierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss evermore.
Perchance in the little village
Some fisherwife wakes in fright,
And peers from her smoky window
To see If we're shining bright,
Or out on the tossing pillows
A helmsman watches our light,
A thousand souls in his keeping
AS they rush through the pathles
night.

JUST AS l AM"

Bishop Thompson is reported as
having started crusade against the
old familiar hymn, "Just as l am
Without One Plea" and as saying
that the words of the song are "im.
moral" ''scandalOus," Outrageous"
and void of sense or reason.
A word Of protest is raised by the
Natchez Bulletin which says:
The hymn, in its sentiment and
music is among the best treasures of
millions Of believers. II our memory
serves US right it was written by a
young woman, who had strayed far
into ways Of worldliness and hid been
invited by clergyman to return to
the faith and the Savior OF her moth.

hymn. In conversation years agone

THE BOSTON WAY.
COLLEGE MAKES NO
DISTINCTION BETWEEN RACES.

A Southern man, who Is now resi-.
dent of Boston was dwelling upon the
advantages Of Boston yesterday in
1.-The corridor Of the St. Charles Hotel.
"How about the feeling Of the peo.
pie Of Boston for the negroes as shown
by their approval Of Roosevelt's en-.
tertaining Booker T. Washington at
dinner?" was asked.
II have to admit" replied the visi.
tor, that don't like Boston ideas
about the negro. They are very len.
lent, l must say, and don't relish it.
Incidentally, l look upon Wellesley
college for young women as being in
some degree responsible. 1t has
veritably crammed the negro down
the white mans throat, so to
speak by its refusal to make any dis.
tinction between the races and the
Southern girls have a hard time at
the college.
"By way of illustration, let me tell
you the story Of Kentucky girls ex.

RACE WAR IN LOUISIANA.
BATTLE BETWEEN WHITES AND
BLACKS NEAR MISSISSIPPI LINE.

A race riot occurred at Balltown,
In Washington parish, Louisiana near
the Mississippi line, in which 1t 10
reported two whites and fiteen
blacks were killed. The trouble
started over an attempt to arrest a
negro desperate for operating q res.
taurant without q license. The ne.
grOes were holding a protracted re.
ligious meeting and It was reported
to the authorities that one, Crea Lott
was running q restaurant and selling
whiskey without q license. A posse
was orpanized and went to Balltowu
to arrest Lott. He resisted and open
ed 6re on the oficers. The negroes
we're fully armed and a battle ensued,
the blacks being ambushed above the
restaurant and church. The former
was fred and Lott and other blacks
shot as they rushed out. The negro
preacher participated, being armed
with q shot gun and he was also killed.
In all, fifteen blacks were slain and
two white men we're shot. The wild.
excitement prevailed and troops we're
called for. Both the governors OF
Louisiana and Mississippi gave per.
mission to the authorities to call out
the troops, but II was found to be un.
necessary. At last reports the ne.

WHEN TRAINS ARE FAST.
1t Is the stopping and Getting started
That Counts Against Their
Running Time.

Fast trains seldom run faster than
but are fast because they make
fewer stops. 1t is the stopping, stand
ing and getting started that consumes
the time, and this time is much more
than the average traveller would ever
imagine. Railway managers under
stand it, and when they want to make
quick time they don't add to the rum
ming speed of trains--eXcepting where
long distances between stops natural
ly permits it--but they do skip stations
and save minutes of time for each one
of them, and minutes means miles, says
a New York Herald man.
If you want to, with the aid of the
second hand of your watch, you can
see just what this slowing, standing
and starting means. on an elevated
railway. Try it. as / did, on the Sixth
avenue line between South Ferry and
the Thirtythird street station at Her
aid square and you will be surprised
a the result.
There are 10 stops made between
these two stations, and the time re-
quired to make the distance, shown
by careful observation, is "A minutes.
How are these minutes consumed? :?
Here are the actual figures: The time
occupied in making the maximum
speed is 10 minutes and IA seconds,
which is considerably less than one
half of the running time; the slowing
and getting under headway processes
require minutes and 10 seconds, and
the stops consume minutes and SO
seconds. If no stops were made be-
tween these stations and the maximum
speed was maintained. the running
time would be 10 minutes and 55 sec
onds.
