Sees a Light.

Birmingham, Ala, May "a
Congressman Littlefield of Maine
a member of the Thompson party,
inspecting the negroes condition
in the South, said today that, al
though he had not had the time
to make a close study of race
conditions, the relation between
the whites and blacks outside of
politics seemed to him to be ami
cable, if not cordial. "The negro
appears to have lair treatment so
far as labor is concerned" said
Mr.. Littlefield, "and in the matter
of education his advantages are
much greater than had thought.
l believe Alabama does better by
the negro in this and other re-
spects than any other state of the
South"

Negro Nominated for Governor.

Little Rock, May 81, 1902
Rev. R. D. Campbell, colored, Of
this city, has been nominated by
the ex-slaves' association, Of
which HI is president, for gov
ernor Of Arkansas. If he accepts
the nomination he will make No
3 of the Republicans gubernator-
ial candidates in the September
election, The nomination OF
Campbell appears to be a protest
against the action Of the Pulaski
county Republican convention in
nominating a "lily white" coun-
ty ticket.
At a meeting of the ex-slaves'
association held at Broadway and
Eight streets, VIM. Porter offered
the following resolution:
Whereas, The Republican
county convention, on the 26th
day of April, 1902, has attempted
to disfranchise the negro by re-
fusing to put negro on the tick :
ct;
Resolved, That it is the sense
of this meeting to put in nomlna-
ton for governor Rev. r. D.
Campbell, as we have 1865
members in the state that will
vote for him.
The resolution was adopted by
reclamation.
In this connection it is learned
that among some negroes there i;
a movement TO organize tax-pay'
ing clubs. The principal objec
seems to be to urge negroes tc
pay poll tax and qualify them
selves for voting in the September
election.

Florida PecanS.

Within one mile of Orlando
there is a farm which has amply
demonstrated that there are other
things besides oranges which can
be raised at a great profit and at
an expense Of much less anxiety
and worry.
Mrs. C. W. Jacocks of Formosa,
whose farm is only a short dis
lance from this city, is one of
those who have, very fortunately
fer themselves, gone into the
RAISING CT pecans on a large
scale.
Her farm is nicely situated on
Lake Formosa and is largely
surrounded by the waters of that
lake. While she has thrifty
groves of oranges, grape fruit,
peaches and other semi-tropical
fruits, her principal interest CEN
ters in the fine grove Of pecan
trees which she has for years
given her best thought and care.
On the place are about 1926
thrifty trees, from forty which,
last year, she sold three barrels
of nuts. She has given attention
to only the very finest and largest
nuts of the thin shelled varieties
and is, consequently, able to
command the very highest prices
for the nuts, graft wood and bud
wood. Some of the trees are
bearing nuts which run thirty one
to the pound, for which she re-
ceives one dollar per pound

Mrs. Jacocks is a sister of G..

friends in that part of the county.

ASH FLAT.

S. C. Estes, who is travelling for
a Louisville clothing house, was
in our village Tuesday interview
ing our merchants.
The recent rains have put a
broad smile on the faces of our
farmers and merchants. We had
fine rain Sunday night.
P. c. Cooper, who has been
pearling on Black river, is home
with his family for a few days,
but will return to the river soon
to resume pearling again.
Farmers are busy now sowing
peas, sorghum and millet seed.
Corn and cotton look fine.
Wheat and oats are sorry, and
will not make more than half a
crop.
Some of our friends who left
town on account of smallpox have
returned to their homes. They
might have remained in the coun-
try longer, but for the fact that
their gardens and home affairs
demanded their attention.
The people of Ash Flat are un-
der obligations to the citizens of
Kings Mill for courtesies shown
while we were under quarantine,
and to the head miller of the roll
or mill, Mr.. Bristow, who would
grind our wheat and let US have
bread.
During the existence of small
pox here, some teams had to be
worked without feed on account
of Hardy quarantining against
US. We will say further that the
mayor of the city of Hardy
would not read a health certificate
sent there by one of the board of
physicians. He would throw up
his hands and holy! holy! When
you talked money they would
reach out and say "what else"
When the wide place in the road,
or Ash Flat, does this we will be
hard up for little change. Let
rs all be more considerate in mat
tiers hereafter and see if we do
not come out better in the end.
