The Whole Subject.

Any student of the negro question in
the South can obtain all the facts me-
cessary to its thorough comprehension
by reading W books-the Leopard's
Spots, by Rev. Tom Dixon, and the
Chronicles of Aunt Minerva, by Joel
Chandler Harris. Both are delight
fully entertaining and they tell all the
truth necessary to know, the bad side
and the good.

WHAT'S The Difference2

To properly fill the Office OF state or
county superintendent of education re-
quires an expert in educational mat
tors. 1t is held that "the people are
good enough to elect these officers in a
popular primary" 1t is also held that
they are not good enough to elect men,
bers of the state dispensary board of
control in a primary. That must be
left to the Legislature. Yet we sus-
poet that the average voter is as good
q judge Of whiskey and whiskey ex-
perts as he ia OF school teachers.

Not Buried Alive,

Col. w. ]. Bryan insists upon re-
marking that the free silver Issue Is
not dead. Once upon a time an Irish
man was riding in the same car with 2
coffin which a Dutchman had packed
with Limberger cheese. The Railroad
Company had refused to carry the
cheese and the sharp Dutchman had
tricked them by shipping it as o
corpse. Patrick endured the smell as
long as he could and finally whispered
to the Dutchman: "Begorra, me friend
I don't know which of your departed
relations is dead but whichever it be
he amt in no trance!"

got about o pint additional. The dis

lot had cherished the hope that he was
about to possess a very important doc
ument, and who knows but that 1t
would clearly prove tho guilt or limo
cence Of Prosper. Whereas he had
only seized a love letter written by @
man who was evidently moro anxious
about the welfare of the woman he
loved than about his own. Vainly did
he puzzle over the letter, hoping to
discover some hidden meaning. 1t
proved nothing for or against the
writer. The two words absolutely
everything were UNDERSIGNED, 1t Is
true, but they could be interpreted in
80 many ways. Fanferlot folded up
the note and slipped 1t into his pocket,
"a thousand thanks, monsieur, for
the information, and I'm return, if you
please, L will relieve you of the trouble
Of executing your commission. 1 will
myself take this note to Mmc. Nina
Gypsy. I will also give you II piece
of advice. If 1 were in your place, /

have nothing more to do with this af-
fair"
The poor fellow obeyed. Slowly and
with swelling heart he returned to
Notre Dame street. He asked himself
how he could serve Prosper, warn
Mime. Gypsy and, above all, be reveng-
ed upon this odious detective who had
Just made him suffer such cruel humili-
alton. He had no sooner turned the
corner Of the street than Fanferlot
went into the house, gave his name to
the porter as Prosper Bertomy, went
up stairs and knocked ut the first door
he came to.

pursue his inventory. One of the door

The Press in summing up the
oil mill question has put things
solidly. 1t has conceded every
thing to Ballinger but the necces-
airy capital with which to build.
Ballinger is the proper location
for an oil mill and she must en-
deavor to build one this year. We
feel assured that if local capital
lists do not unite and take advan-
tage of this opportunity, the
neighbor or new conner with long
purse and u desire to get hold of
sure thing will be erecting a
building and placing machinery
before many months. And this
much too we would like to whis-
per, if Ballinger gets an oil mill
first the neighboring cities will
not attempt to build. >. Judge G.
