Rev. Thomas Dixon recently took

Uncle Toms Cabin" as pernicious
reading. The noise caused by this dec
laration having subsidized, the broad
minded preacher of the gospel steps to
the front with this wild declarations:
"My deliberate opinion of the modern
Negro in this country is that he is not
worth hell room. # were the dev1I
I would not let him in hell. They
will be driven from the South just as
surely as they swarm that place
now" ~ d i 4

need not give his satanic majesty any
advice. He knows full we'll how to
take care of his own; and we will
guarantee that hell will not be so over
crowded with Negroes that. the space
reserved for Dixon will be taken.

a certain minister in the State OF
New York 81 i in a recent sermon stated
that that he believed that open work stock
ings were an invention Of Satan. The
women Of his congregation came to
the conclusion that he referred to GER
tain ones who wore such deyilish
things on their shapely limbs and they
kicked - ~ f hguratively speaking and
there was veritable war Of the
stockings" The kickers, or rather,
the young women, insisted that the
pastor eat his Objectionable words,
which he refused to do, and the result
was, they made things so uncomfort-
able for the pastor that he was COM
PEELED to resign. Poor fellow, he had
no business getting himself mixed up
with womens legs; he ought to have
known he would fare no better than
other men who get in fix by such a
mix. " 81. ~ ~ |-A--z 5s i. fs

Of that State was brought in question
before the supreme court of the United
States last Saturday, in the appeal
from the ruling of Judge Jones, of the
United States court for the middle dis
trict of Alabama
The appeal is based on the applica-
ton of an Afro-American voter, who
was refused registration, and sought
relief through an application to Judge
Jones for mandamus to compel the
registrars to place his name on the
list of voters. The application was de-
MED by Judge Jones on the ground
that he lacked juris sdiction. But in
stead Of allowing the case to take the
regular course through abe circuit
court of appeals, Judge Jones certified
it directly to the supreme court in or
der that the constitutional question
involved might be passed upon with.
out delay by the highest court in the
land. 81,

WHY His Head Was Shaved.

The late Queen Victoria was never
credited with being herself given to
witty sayings, but that she appre-
ciated wit in others is abundantly
attested. On her last visit to Italy
she went to a church at Assist to
which she had been commended by
the dean OF Windsor and some other
prelates. Describing her experiences
there, she told the dean of very
devout monk, who escorted her
through chilly corridor. His head
was shaven and she asked him II he
did not feel the draughts wearing
the tonsure in the way his order did.
His reply was not in italian, as she
expected, but in perfect English,
tinctured with Celtic brogue: mo,
madam, I don't suffer at all in that
way. You know, we Irish are Q
hot-headed race!"

Why Dewct Avoided Highlanders

Dewet is possessed of humor, says
a South African correspondent, writ
ing to q contemporary. One of the
leading camp officials Tin certain
refugee camp) is Scotsman, who.
during the dinner, took occasion In
offering the general a drink to say he
must have got fair amount Of whis-
ky among the captured conveys. De-
wet was very much amused at this,
and on referring to it subsequently
said that before attacking a convoy
he made inquiries if they were
guarded by .Scotsmen. II this were
so, he further inquired If it contained
any whisky. II the second condition
accompanied the first he always gave
the convoy a wide berth, because he
knew the beggars would fight to the
last man. The Scotsman replied that
he would write home and inform his
countrymen of this important ele-
ment in scouting and in defensive
warfare-a remark which set him in
to roars of laughter.-St. James Ga
