PRoGRESS IN GEORGIA.

Georgia has been called the Empire State of the South, and she deserves the title. One of the indications of her merit and grandeur is found in the fact
 that bill has been prepared and will
 be submitted at the next session of the legislature authorizing women to prac- tice law in Georgia. Governor Candler, in discussing the matter, said: T think the bill will meet with approval. I see
 no reason why woman should not be admitted to the bar as we'll as man.
 She inherits the gift of oratory, she has
 a reasoning mind, and she certainly has
 the energy and pluck to win in any
 profession. If the bill should come to me would certainly pass favorably
 upon it." Many of the leading public
 men of Georgia have also approved the bill, and it's passage by the legislature
 is regarded as certain.
 Good for Georgia and Georgia's gov
 ernor. We notice with pleasure that
 Georgia's governor does not hesitate to
 declare that woman has reasoning
 mind. This has been denied by some | who have passed for sages, but nobody needs to look far to find proof that Gov ernor Candler is right. The men whose
 reasoning minds can get the better of
 woman's reasoning mind in an argu- ment are few.

THE NEGRO yy BUSINESS.

The National Negro Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is pres ident, will hold its third annual meeting in Richmond next week. That this league has more reason for being than some may think is indicated by some facts concerning the negro's place in business which have just been made public. There are five or more negro banks, man. aged wholly by negro officers, SUD- ported by the money of negro deposit ors, and possessing the confidence of the other banks and business men of the cities in which they are located. One, of the finest tailoring establishments in the city of Boston-occupying a large store in the busiest part of Washington street is owned and operated by negro. One or more of the best catering estab- lishments in Philadelphia, and another in Chicago, are the property of negroes. In almost every city of any size there are now one or more negro hotels. In North Carolina there is large cotton mill owned by negroes and operated by negro hands. A good brick block in Nashville is owned by negro lawyer and real estate dealer, who for twenty years has practtced successfully in the courts of that city. There is a negro publishing house in Nashville, whose plant is valued at a very conservative estimate at $75,0O0, and which gives en- ploynent to one hundred negro men and women. In Chicago there is negro truckman and furniture mover and warehouseman who regularly employs forty persons.
 And so forth and so on. It is almost impossible to mention any trade or in dustry which has not now some negro representative successfully employed at it somewhere in the country.

The talk is that the United States government is going to abandon it's ef- forts to make and keep the Missouri river navigable. The river runs through deep alluvial soil, and is constantly gnawing away its banks and shifting it's channel. Millions have been spent in an attempt to keep it free from snags, but the erosion of the banks causes great trees to keep falling into 1t. Acres of land have been swept away and deposited elsewhere. In one place a tract of seventeen hundred acres was transferred in single night from Iowa to Nebraska by a change in the course of the river. An island which the gov ernment wanted, but of which a squat ter held possession, was reduced by the action of the river during the contro- yersy to the three acres where the squatter was holding the fort" Then the government no longer desired the island, leaving the squatter in full pos- session. The river immediately began piling up land, until the squatter had one hundred and thirty acres and was worth $250,0O0.

Captain Crawford J. Smith of Phila- delphia, late master of the British steamship Corunda, has received from President Roosevelt representing the United States government, a handsome ly inscribed gold watch and chain, in recognition of the fact that he rescued the crew of the American bark Ella, which foundered on January 1T, 22O miles south-southeast of Bermuda. When the captain fell in with the dis abled vessel, a terrific gale was raging, and no seaman on the Corunda would volunteer to go to the assistance of those aboard the Ella. Then the Corun- da's officers and engineers manned a boat, and all hands were taken from the sinking craft. Captain Smiths conduct was called to the attention of President Roosevelt, and the latter decided that his action was worthy of official recog- nition from the government.

publisher, who, in turn, introduced
him to the private secretary. One day,
when the private secretary was sitting
serene and dignifed at her desk, there
entered precipitately the Englishman.
"Ho~ do you do?" she said, sweetly.

water that many times hid him from

danger. A current suddenly tossed him
toward the shore dangerously near n
big bowlder that showed threateningly
above the surface. BY desperate SWIM

carried ON down stream.
Below the DEVILS hole, where the
river narrows, Graham had another
hard battle. For time he was COM

dreds of spectators on the bridge and
along the banks grew greatly excited.
Graham soon appeared in the smoother
water where the river widens, and the
crowd cheered him heartily. He de-

ager Frysinger was that the local
team would play the Brandywine
team for a sum ranging from $lOO
to $1,000 on the Philadelphia Ath-
letic's grounds, the players to be

field in West Chester when he with

Manager Frysinger also wanted
to play the game on Wednesday of
this week.
Rrandywine wants the game
played in Chester, is unwilling to
play before Wednesday of next
week, wants the privilege tochange
pitchers md probably many other
favors in no way referred to in the
original proposition.
Manager Frysinger, after consid-
ering the offer of the Brandywine
team last night said:
"We will play the Brandywine at
Chester on September 10, provided
that Chester will let us off on that
date, as we have game with them.
We will not consent to a change
of pitchers unless u pitcher is in
jured in the game Or disabled, of
which the umpire shall be
the judge. Let Taylor pitch
the full game and our man do
the same. Steventon cannot be the
tenth man of Brandywine because
