Lovely White Blouses.
White bouses, TOO seem to have a per-

to design some of the pictorial effects
achieved by the use of lace and lawn. All
sorts of figures are outlined on the bodice.
The white blouse, too is suitable for young
and old. Nothing so freshens a passe face
as touch of white against the skin.
The use of sleeveless blouseS with the
short boleros allows to women Of limited
means a chance to acquire many apparent
changes of costume. The use Of a fancy
bolero, if long enough to conceal shortcom-
ings in the back of the blouse, will permit
many waist combinations which any wo-
man can make up for herself at home.
Remnants of silk, lace, chiffon and velvet
ribbon are capable of conversion into nu
merous blouses of the sleeveless backless
order that serve admirably with the bo-
Zero for outdoor and even for indoor wear.

THE NEGRO AND THE NORTH

1t is plain to be seen that the negroes
of the South have leaned on broken
reeds when they relied on people north
for aid and comfort. Instead of being
friends the northern people are every
where developing into the worst
enemies the negro has ever had. In
the north the negro is everywhere
looked on with disgust and is in every
way an undesirable citizen, and they
are plainly told that they are not want
ed in that section. In several states
north in which the negro has recently
made his appearance he has been un-
tremendously and cruelty ordered to
leave. This was so in New Jersey,
Massachusetts, and other states only o
day or so ago.
The south then is the only section to
which the negro can look for real
friends and safety for life and prosperi-
ty. In the south the negro is under
stood and all he has to do to get along
is to be honest, economical, industrious
and keep within his sphere.

SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES IN
SCHLEY.

Lacrosse, Ga, Sept. 2nd.-The con-
test is long time off, yet it is a fact
that plans are being laid aud senatorial
possibilities are being talked. It is
suspicioned at least that these poss1bil-
tiles are not only being talked of but
in a quiet way are doing some talking
themselves.
A few days ago barbecue was on
very short notice gotten up near here

four suspicious characters being pre-
sent. Ex-senator 7. G.. Hudson is an
avowed candidate. It comes from a
reliable source that either DR.. John
Cheney of ElIaville, or Judge Single
tary, who are close friends, one or both
will be in the race. The two gentle
men have been discussed relative
to the place for quite time. The
friends of the editor of the News
have been doing little quiet talking
recently, and many would not be sur
prised to see Mr. E. L. Bridges de-
velop into a senatorial candidate.
Major Baldwin may be candidate for
the House and not the Senate. Hon.
J. NJ. Collum, county school commits
sioner, has been considered candidate
for at least three years, Some of his
friends say he positively will not be a
candidate, others say his plans are fix
ed, and at the proper time he Will re-
sign his present position and enter

Hon T. F. Rainey is being urged at

The organization of political parties
in the Philippines is a good sign. II
shows that the natives are not only &C
cepting the situation, but that they are
learning American ways. The Philip
pines have room for two big and intel
igent parties, and the sooner these are
formed the better it will be for the
islands. Americans are anxious to
give the islanders all the home rule
which they can stand with benefit to
themselves and the United States.
The parties which are being formed
will help to disseminate American
political ideas among the Fllipinos
and enable the United States to grasp
the drift of sentiment in the islands.

A great falling off in the Texas cot
