THE GOOD OLD NEGROES.
JUDGE ESTES LECTURE TO PRIs-
ONERS AT VALDOSTA.

Hard to Realize That the Loahng,
the Present Generation Are the
Descendants of the Old-Time Me-
groes-The Grand Jury Roasts the
Lowndes County Commits toner's
for Their Liberal Expenditures.
Valdosta, Ca, Nov. 23.-The Novem-
Der term of the Superior Court ad-
journed to-day at noon, after one of
the busiest sessions it has had in sew
eral years. The criminal business was
larger than usual and hardly half of
the cases were taken up, fourteen be-
ing left in the Jail to be disposed of in
the City Court next week. Those who
were convicted were sentenced this
morning. All of them were negroes ex-
cept one. a white man charged with
pistol stealing. Judge Estes delivered
an address to the prisoners which took
on the order of a Sermon and was
much appreciated by all in the court
The judge commented incidentally up
on the worthlessness of the negroes of
the p-growing generation and con-
trasted them with the good old ne
groes of former days. He said that it
was almost impossible to realize that
the loafing, cursing, drinking, pistol
toting negroes of this day are direct
descendants of the colored men and
women Of thirty or forty years ago.
He urged them, when their terms ex-
Dira f0 lead sober indnctrinlf liUae
The judges remarks ELECTED "amens"
from many of the older negroes who
happened to be in the court house at
the time.
The grand jury filed in a short while
before noon and the report of that body
was read. One feature of the report
bordered on to the sensational and
throws the grand jury against the
county commissioners with a good deal
of force. The free expenditure of mon
ey by the Board of Commissioners was
severely criticised. The present board
has done a great deal of building of
bridges, roads, pest house, ETC., and the
disposition of money on Improvements
generally was roundly censured. The
grand jury did not intimate that there
had been any crooked dealings in these
matters, but the criticism was rather
directed at the business judgment of
the commissioners.
The Stap1er Residence Burned.
A report reached the city this morn
ing ofsthe burning of the residence of
the late Richard Stapler, near Lake
Park The home was built last year,
but the family vacated it several
months ago when Mr. Stapler died. 1t
was occupied by a Mr.. Surrency, who
had been employed to gather the crop.
The lost is about $500, with no in
surance. The fire is said to have orig
mated from a stick of wood, which
was too long for the fireplace, and
which was allowed to burn while the
family was in another part of the
house.

Many People Pay No Attention to a
Cold Until Catarrh Develops.
Miss Myrtice James, Secretary
Young Peoples Christian Temperance
Union, writes from 401 River street,
Water Valley, North Dakota:
II know that Peruna saved my life
and I cannot speak too highly in its
praise. Three years ago / caught a
heavy cold which settled in catarrh OF

first and paid little attention to 1t until
the catarrh developed. coughed badly
and was unable to secure a good nights

New Form of Grip Epidemic.
Within the last week the physicians
OF this city have made the discovery
that Grip in a strange form is epidem-

pains in the muscles, particularly of
the arms and shoulders, which suggest
the twinges of rheumatism. Vague
sensations in the chest of a very un-
comfortable description induce a

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY 2l, 1901.

A few days since The Republican printed an editorial containing a brief
 synopsis of an address BUSINESS by Mir. Charles NJ. AND Schwab. the president EDUCATION. of the United States
 Steel company, before an assembly of 300 boys in New York. on the general topic of success in life. In the course of his address MT. Schwab raised a doubt as to the advis- ability of spending four years at col iege before beginning at the foot of the ladder. He expressed an opinion that of two youths at the age of seventeen. the one who would enter business office would have a decided advantage at twent one over the young man who would embark in similar business after having devoted four years to a classical. or any other college course
 This speech of MT. schwab has been extensively and sometimes acrimo- muosly criticised. A paper which comes to this office inquired yesterday If there was no other aim In life than to accumulate wealth We may reply that that is the chief aim of the man who embarks on a business career. or It Is mainly incidental to an ambition to attain power and influence in the bus iness world. Mir. Schwab's address was in relation solely to business. He would not. of course. recommend young man contemplating a literary or professional career. to lay the founda- tion for 1t in a counting room or in the mastering of a trade.
 The speaker was perhaps describing his own experience within which he rose from the condition of a poor boy to be, at the age of S7. the head of the greatest and most complex business in the world. We believe that Mir. Schwab is a competent authority on the subject of which he was speaking. He is the most conspicuous example of c successful business man the world now affords.
