cial equality is favored. that the white
blood would become so tainted that the
standard Of the American citizen would
he lowered? And making our pcsterity
like the other mixed races of the earth
that are difficult to govern. as we'll as
treacherous and rebellious; an affiic-
ton that is no doubt caused from what
appears a violation of divine law? We
should keep the race distinct, by col
onization and making amalgamation a
crime, that the nation may continue to
move forward by the present dominant
race. All races are possessed of race
pride. The black man has as much
regard for the mixed races as the
white man. And the red man acknowl-
edged no superior; indeed, he preferred
determination to bowling the knee to
mortal man.
Yet some would care but little for
their progeny and would say we must
elevate the negro. We also say to ele-
vate the negro, but not to degrade the
white man. We should elevate him in
his own sphere by colonization, protect
him in all his rights as a citizen. and
encourage him to advance to a higher
civilization that race pride may impel.
And then with all our natural advan-
tages we would stand foremost among
the great white powers OF the earth.

Chester. Fla. Nov. %. 1sO1.-Editor
of the Morning News: When visiting
our county and state fairs we view with
pleasure the improved species of vege-
table and animal life that have been
brought to a high state of perfection.
And then again, at our great national
expositions, it excites our pride to see
the wonderful works OF our race, and
the great progress the republic has
made under its rule; and. while endeav-
orng to advance to a higher civiliza-
ton the interior races of mankind
should we not also look to the purity of
the white race upon whose intelligence.
energy and progressive spirit the re-
public has attained its present power?
But with the millions of negroes
brought here as slaves and liberated
as citizens, and the millions of the mix
ed blooded people of our late insular
possessions, is there not danger If So

ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY FAILED.

Lambert. Ga, Nov. 25.-On Saturday
night Mr. F. NJ Marrow. living near
here, noticed a suspicious noise at the
house of his next neighbor, Mrs. Jennie
Davis, whom he knew to be away from
home on a visit to her parents. He Sc
cured his pistol. and investigation
showed him two negro men on her
premises, one on the watch and one en-
gagged in an attempt to prize open a
window in the rear of the house. He
opened fire on them, but the range was
too long for small arms, and both es-
capped. He then jumped on his horse
and rode rapidly here for more ammu-
milton, and returned. He found nothing
more except a box the burglars had
used in climbing up to the window and
the stick used in the attempt to gain
an entrance to the house. In the UNI
certain light it was impossible to rec
ognize the two miscreants.

A CORN con 1I2 YEARS OLD.

Athens Banner: In that part of
Madison county between the Daniels
vile and Northern roads, is a tract of
land owned by Mr.. Laban Williams
About ten years ago a log house on
this land was torn down. When this
old house was erected there were holes
bored in the logs for lacking them into
place. These holes were plugged with
corn cobs. Under the ends of some of
the logs, in such position that they
could not be reached until the house
was torn down, were some holes 50
plugged. This house was raised in the
year 1889 by Elijah Williams. the an
cester of the Madison county Will
liamses. One of the corn cobs. out of
the augur holes in the logs of this old
house, has been presented by Mr.. John
Mitchell to the University. This cora
cob is 112 years old this autumn, is
in a fair state of health yet and is as
light as a feather. The world has
turned on its axis several times since
that corn was shucked and several
things have been jostled out of place
while this old cob has been reposing
quietly in the round hole into which it
fitted.

SKETCH OF THE CAREER
 OF GOVERNOR SANFORD.

Governor William J. Sanford was born wiehin the confines of the terri tory now a part of Lee County .,but then in Macon, and was closely identified with the affairs of the State, having always taken an active interest in public matters. He was about 56 years of age: was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1875. and is said to have been the author of the clause limiting the rate of taxation. He took an active part in shaping the Con- stitution submitted by that Convention and under which we are now living. In 1878 he was elected to Congress from the Third Alabama District and made an enviable record in that body. He was not a candidate for renomination. and was succeeded by the Hon. w. C. oates. He was soon afterwards elect ed to the State Senate from the dis trict composed of Lee and Russell Counties, and So ably did he represent his people and the State that at the second session he was made President Of that body.

After quitting the Senate in 1895, he retired from active participation in pol itics, and devoted himself to his pro- fession. but his name and his talents have always been at the service of the party.
 Colonel Stanford was the son of the late w. F. Stanford of Macon. and later of Lee County. whose abilities and ef- fectiveness as a writer and whose pow CT and eloQuence as public speaker were far-famed and acknowledged by all; and his distinguished son inheri- ted all these qualities. and even more. for 1t has been said by those closely acquainted with him that he has a con- trol and gift of language. and an easy, graceful flow of tongue. which have rarely been equaled by anyone in AL abama. He is a most convincing and attractive talker at the bar. on the stump or in the forum.
 He made a most brilliant canvass of
  the State and the response of the peo- pie in the primaries showed with what effectiveness. He was nominated on the third ballot the result of which was never declared the other candi- dates withdrawing from the race and making the choice of Colonel Samfqrd unanimous. Ills nomination was fol- lowed by triumphant election, and not
