THE PLURALITY BILL
(F'rom the Hardwick Gazette.)

The Gazette hopes with a great and ex-
ceeding hope that the bill to make a
plurality vote elect town representatives
may become a law. A plurality vote
elects county officers; the same law ought
to be good enough for towns. A plurality
law would make practically impossible
the ''combines' and trade that are
the frequent result of many of the long
drawn out fights to elect representatives.
such a law would, we believe. also result
in the selection of better men for candi-
dates, men who would have some recon-
mendation for the office other than it is

a good fellow" Let the plurality bill

The price to be paid Denmark
by the United States for the
British West Indies Islands, if
the deal goes through, as now
seems probable, is $4,000, 900.
Their chief commercial advantage
to this country will be that ST.
Thomas has splendid harbor,
and that the group of islands will
be contiguous to the Atlantic side
of the Isthmian canal, at least
for naval strategic purposes. ST.
Thomas is a great coaling harbor
for the West Indies, and more

goes there from the United States
are handled annually. We sup

The modern farmer is model
farmer. He has discovered that
farming is not necessarily sy-
nonymous with extreme ruralism
and lack of progress. He has
slowly but surely drawn himself
out from the rut, until he has
become a very important person
age. Formerly farming consisted
in eking out a bare existence by
dint of hard work aud painful
economy. Things have radically
changed in this respect. The
prosperous farmer, with a we'll
filled wallet and o snug bank
account, is now a common sight.
Some of them are bank stock
holders, and many of them own
shares in various Industrial en-
terprises. They do not grovel at
the feet of capitalists and money
lenders as of yore.

GOOD ADVICE.

Professor Dubois, connected
with a negro college in Atlanta,
advises members Of his race in the
South to emigrate to the North,
implying that though there is race
prejudice at the North as we'll as
at the South, the negro on the
whole fares better in the former
section than in the latter. The
writer believes the; professor is
right both as to facts which he
states, and as to the advice which
he gives.
There is absolutely no hope for
the negro in the South. With the
inherited prejudices OF two and a
half centuries which is constantly
kept alive and accumulated by the
daily contact with an excessive
number of Africans inhabiting the
South, southern whites will never
regard the negro III any other
light than as an inferior who shall
never have, no matter how meri-
torlous he may be, recognition as
man and a brother. The writer's
observations of the negro at the
North is. that he has very far more
important rights and privileges
there than he possesses at the
South, among them being the most
adequate facilities to obtain supe-
rior mental Instruction. Socially
also the negro has a better chance
at the North than at the South,
for those of their race who are
properly qualified have, in that
section, some recognition, espe-
cially i'll religious and literary
circles, whereas, in the South, all
from the highest to the lowest, are
regarded as being outside the pale
of consideration.
Much is said concerning the
hardships endured by negro me-
chanics and other laborers ut the
North, because Of the prejudice
there against this class of labor.
The writer believes these asser-
tions to be gross exagerations. He
has been impressed with the we'll

to-de appearances of the great ma
jority of negroes whom he has
seen in that quarter, the average
negro there being greatly superior,
so far as appearances go, to the
average southern negro If the
negro does not possess a living
chance at the North, hissbetter
state there would not exist.
If this race III the South wish to
have a chance for all that life af-
fords we advise them to leave the
South, since it is admitted on all
sides by the whites here that SO
far as government and society are
concerned they will never be q
factor.

RELIGIOUS STATISTICS.

The Atlanta Journal and the
Savannah News recently published
articles in which it was claimed
that census statistics show the
Roman Catholic church to be the
strongest in the United States in
point of membership, they being
credited with 9,158, 941 commun-
icants or gain, during the period
between 1900 and 1901, of 468 ,083:
Neither the Journal nor the News
gave all of what Dr. Carroll, the
religious sUatisticlan Of the census
bureau, said upon the subject of
the growth of the Roman Catholic
church In thisgcountry. DR.. Car
roll declares that 1.-THE increase in
the Roman Catholic membership
is too high and regards the figures
of those Of thej growth of several
years in large proportion Of the
diocese. "
1t is we'll known fact that all
the prelatical churches, holding
their own communion TO be the
true and only one, do not recog-
ME the right Of the individual to
religiously expatriate himself,
maintaining that the only way for
a communicate to leave "the
church" is to die or be excommun-
icated.. "Once a Catholic, etc !,
always a Catholic, ETC." is the
shibboleth of such bodies 1t is
certain that the Roman Catholic
strength IN the United States is
due almost entirely to the heavy
immigration to this country from
the Roman Catholic countries Of
Europe. A very large proportion,
perhaps majority, of these Rom
an Catholic immigrants are SO only

that hundreds of thousands, even

than the changes vice versa. This
is true even when the mother OF

difference is still greater when the
