A REMARKABLE RUN.
French Automobile Goes 1000 Miles
Without a Stop.
Test Made In London on n Wager
Covers the Distance in FOrty-Eight
Hours, Four Minutes, Four
Seconds.

The thousand-mile motor trial at the
Crystal Palace, London, has attract
ed the attention of English automo-
bilists. 1t came about through a dis
cussion of the merits of the Decastille
car, which was challenged by Moffat
Ford, the managing director of the
automobile company.
The French company undertook to
run two cars, one of five-horse power
and the other of eight, a thousand miles
without stopping. The French drivers,
muffled in thick furs, took turns every
two hours. Hot bricks were tossed into
the cars to keep the drivers warm for
it was bitterly cold under the glass
roof of the palace.
The eight-horse power a started off
at a 2s-mile clip. The smaller one made
q 24-mile pace. The larger car had to
stop after having made 312 miles, as the
carburetter froze. The time was 10
hours, SO minutes and 9 seconds.
The five-horse power car completed
Its one-thousandth mile the other morn
ing, the time run being As hours, A min
utes and 4 seconds. 1t did not make a
stop throughout the run.

TURNS FROM BLACK TO WHITE
Negro UndergOes n Transformation
PuzzlinE to Georgia
Physicians.

To the reference made to the Ethio-
plan in that passage Of Scripture
which reads: Can an Ethiopian
change his skin or the leopard his
spots" an affirmative answer can now
be given by many people at Conner,
Ga. A short while ago the skin of
Walter billiard began mysteriously to
change from inky black to a much
lighter shade. This change continued
for a few weeks. when he suddenly
found himself entirely white and he
could not be distinguished from a man
of pure Anglo-Saxon blood. Whether
or not he knows anything of the the
DRY of evolution, he certainly believes
and knows that one Of Ethiopian
birth a pass into a higher stage
and take upon himself "the white
mans color"
billiard has consulted many of the
leading physicians, but cannot get
any explanation as to the cause of
this mysterious change. From the
time the change began till now he
has felt no change in his health. He
is a specimen of almost perfect man.
hood physically. His age is AZ, and
he is the father of four black chill
dren.

AN ABLE PLEA FOR A worthy
CAUSE.

EX-Attorney General Frank john
ton, one of the ablest lawyers and fore
most citizens Of tie state, publish
ii an able article in a recent
ssue of the Clarion.Ledger in
which he takes the ground that the
state should make provision for the
support and education of the orphans
# the commonwealth. All this stupen-
duous work is now left to the care OF
he various church and benevolent So
c~ieties, without one iota of aid from the
public treasury. There are several or
phan asylums in the state and these
are doing a noble work, but they are
constantly hampered and circumscrib-
ed in their operations oy a lack OF
funds, which come from public charity
entirely. Mr.. Johnston says in part:
LAS long as a child has a father, or mother,
or guardian to maintain 1t, the state Will
give 1t "A common school education, covering
a period from the age OF to 81 years. The
youth Of the state who can maintain them
selves are given a free course at an agricul-
tural and mechanical college, and finished
off by a course at the State University.
But the moment that a child is left a PEN
niless orphan there are no more free school
facilities, and.the only refuge of the little one
is one of the private orphan asylums In the
state supported by private charitable dona-
tions, a source OF income that is uncertain
and precarious.
when death and poverty come to the chill
dren OF the state they simply drop out of the
scheme Of public education. So far as the
state is concerned they are left to the cold
charities of the world, to grow up in igno-
rance aud vice.
This brings us face to face with the ques-
ton. why the poor orphan children Of the
state. doubly bereft and doubly unfortunate
in being orphans and in poverty, have lost
their right to be educated by the state, and
brought up as good men and women. and as
intelligent and worthy citizens? 1t would be
difficult. indeed, to find an answer TO this
question, If it is the duty OF the state to ed
ucate the children OF opulent and well-to-do
parents, the obligation is far stronger to ed
ucate the penniless orphan children Of the
commonwealth. II there is a moral obiiga'
tion on the part of the government to sup
port the adult poor, the duty is doubly
strong to feed and clothe the destitute or
phans.n

The Honorable Grover Cleveland
has suddenly began to make himself
talked of through the medium Of
newspapers interviews and magazine
articles, and is spending all OF his
spare time in giving advice TO the
Democrats. II he had come out in a
manly way and supported the Demo.
cratic ticket in the two last presiden-
tial campaigns his advice might be
taken, but as it is his following among
simon-pure Democrats is very slim.
In oDe thing, however the sage OF
Princeton and the SENTINEL fully
agree, and that is that the presidential
term be heightened and that no presi-
dent succeed himself. We think, like
Grover. that this would allow the
president to devote more thine to the
business OF government and less to the
work OF being reelected.

A b EXAMPLE.

Several years ago the Bank OF Rose
dale, Mics, failed with an indebtedness
OF about S100, 900, over half of which
Vas due to depositors. Mr.. Charles
Scott, the president OF the bank, and a
prominent lawyer, came forward and
personally assumed all liabilities, he
and his wife pledging their private for
tunes for this purpose. Mr.. Scott has
paid every debt of the bank and made
good the loss OF every deposition, incur
ring financial loss himself TO the
amount of $4,000. On Christmas his
friends presented him and his wife
with a beautiful silver loving cup as a
slight token of their appreciation of
his manly course.
In this day and age such an act shines
out from the clouds OF financial selfish
ness and rascality like a bright ray OF
invigorating sunshine, and Mr.. Scott
has built for himself a monument OF es-
TEEN and deep respect which is worth
more to him than all the riches OF the
world.
We can but contrast such an act as
this with the custom Of some bankrupts
who fail with plenty or some who re-en-
ter business In the names Of their wives
that they may amas wealth while de-
frauding rightful and trusting credi-
tors. If there we're more men like Mr..
Scott there would be more confidence
and liberality in business circles, and
there would be a return OF the glorious
past, when the word of a gentleman
was as good as his bond, and when an
obligation once assumed was fulfilled,
let the cost be what it might.

OF late many suggestions have been
made in the press of the state in
regard to the observance of Arbor
Day. In many states, especially in the
northwest, this day is designated each
year by the governor, and it is OBJ
served generally by the schools and by
individuals by the setting out OF trees
on both private and public property.
In the prairie regions this custom has
dotted the plains with groves, and
every little white-painted school house
nestles in all. bower of ov%erhanging
leaves, as the result.
Mississippi has trees enough but
they are not properly distributed.
There are many school yards, church
yards, public areas, and private
properties where the choicer kinds Of
shade trees would lend additional
charm to the eye and vastly increase
the money value Of the property.
The groves were Gods first temple. Ere
To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave
And spread the roof above them,-ere hi
framed
The lofty vault, to gather and roll back
The sound OF anthems; In the darkling wood
Amidst the cool and silence he knelt dow
And offered the Mightiest solemn thanks
And duplication"

facturer will soon lay waste the might.

Editor Harmsworth, the leading
newspaper man of England, is visit
ing this country and may buy up a
paper or two on this side of the water,
as his dozen or more already In hand
do not keep him occupied. He takes
the stand that people take newspapers
Tor the news, and that the editorial
page is losing its power. He says
that while people read the editorials
and perhaps enjoy and admire their
language and logic, they do mot allow
them TO influence their minds or TO
form their opinions. This will be a
disappointment TO some long-winded
editorial writer's who are under the
impression that their illusions are the
keystone and the arch which hold the
universe together. But Editor Harms
worth is about right. The people
want the news, but prefer to do their
W thinking.
