passengers.
One person said, soto voce: ''FliDg
them out Of tho car. II it kills the
wretohes, il will 30 good riddanse" =
but while every sober person felt i'm.
posed upon by the drunken actors in
this drama Of human life, perhaps
they will anish tho anel scene very
shortly for themselves.
My very soul was indignant that
this woman, the mother OF her chill
dren, there present, should have had
her pride 30 cruelty mortified and tho
holiest affection Of her nature so cruel
ly outraged with no relief for her.
But she performed as IL it was moth
ing new in her family. That half
grown lad would pull with ell his
might to keep his father down in his
seat, when the Liquor Demon in him
would make him jerk himself up and
fling his long, dirty hands about as he
clutched at the seat 20 steady himself.
How nasty he appeared to be!
It was bad enough in public COM
pauy, but who can paint the real facts
in thst woman's home life, when four
walls enclose her and her children
with that mad-man to contend with
and nobody strong enough to help her!
May the Almighty Father keep her
and give her quick fiddance Of such
an incubus and menace to her own
safety and the prosperity Of her chill
drenl-Mrs. W. II. FELTON,, in Atlanta

A Negro John The Baptist.

A negro Mari Twain, or Sam Jones,
or Mister Dooley, OF whatever other
parsonage will suggest combination
Of wit and wisdom, has come upon the
Southern stage. His name is w. w.
Lucas and he is the field secretary Of
the Negro Young Peoples Christian
and Educational Congress, that assem-
bled in Atlanta in August. He made
an address to one Of the largest negro
congregations in Mobile and sone Of
the things he said, end which his au-
dience greatly applauded, are worthy
OF reproduction and preservation.
+ Speaking OF the kind Of Christian
training needed by the colored race
he said:
"A great hindrancs to the progress
Of the race Is che two by four bigoted,
selfish, ignorant Baptist OF Methodist
preacher. He is in every community
opposing every measure Of progree- -
Right here he struck one Of the
worst enemies of the negro popula-
tion. A recent occurrence at Big
Bethel Church in this city lends apt
emphasis to his diagnosis. The me-
gro who is forever likening his race to
the Hebrew children living in the
brlckyards to the Southern white
Egyptians and predicting bloody
plaques to come for their deliyeranoe
is the greatest obstruotor of negro
progress to right thinking and honest
living.
On the subject Of negro slovenliness
aud the repugnance to the race that
had personal habits created he spoke
thus:
II have decided that the only way
to get rid Of the Jim Grow car is to
get rid Of the Jim Crow negro.
"If I could use 200, 1000 bars Of soap
on the unwashed negroes that travel
on trains and hang around depots I
would solve the negro problem about
20 per cent.
"Lasy, ragged, barefeet fellows,
longing for silver slippers and long
white rotes and counting themselves
worthy; neglecting to provide home
for their families on earth and yet

claiming house not made with their
hands in Gods heaven"
and thon he got right down to .ae
marrow Of one Of the most prevalent
follies Of the negroes Of the South
when he denounced their proneness to
edjorrn ell their ambitions to the
happy day when the negroes will be
admitted en- masse TO ''hog heaven"
and their white Southern enemies be
showed into the goat pen and swallcw-
ed up in hsdesl On that point he
wittily said:
1.-THE white man is trying to make
this earth blossom 90 rose aud the
negro is getting ready 70 diel
"The white man is organizing busi-
ness enterprises and the negro organ-
ising societies to turn out at their
funeralsl Now I object to O hun
dred dollar funeral for fifty-cent me-
gro."
Surely this man has had revele-
tion Of sound sense and has been en-
dowed with mission. II b. can
travel the South over and make CON.
verto of his race to suoh'a gospel he
will do more to solve the negro prob.
lem than all the wise men in Congress
and all the preachers and philanthropy
lists New England ever produced. He
is black John the Baptist. Give
him the right Of way!

DEATH.
TO Abolish Death From Old Age.

A few centuries ego the attention
Of philosophers was directed to two
chief objects. One of these was the
means Of prolonging life indefinitely,
and the other the discovery OF some
means of producing gold that, when
the secret of eternal life had been
found, they might have ct hand the
wherewitnal to make it worth living.
Too many Of them, when they found
old age upon them, and that all their
efforts to produce On elixir Of life or
gold had failed, were ready, like
Faust, to sell their souls to the pow
ers of evil to obtain what they had 30
long sought in vain. We do not be-
lieve there is any authentic record
that any Of them succeeded in max
ing such bargain; possibly because
the devil was clever enough to know
that he was reasonably cure OF them
in any circumstances; or because he
did not deem it worth his while to go
to any trouble to obtain such poor,
pitiful, shrunken souls as they pos
sessed. We thought, however, that
the quest for an elixir of life-or
those voyages in search of the Foun-
tain Of Youth, which used to lead
another class Of dreamers on such
wild chases into unknown regions
had long since been abandoned, both
cause of their hopelessness and be-
cause the world had become too en-
lightened to permit men to OCCUPY
themselves with such chimeras. 1t
seems from an article that has been
going the round of the papers that We
have been mistaken in this opinion;
and that there are still those who
spend their skill and time in the en-
deavor to overcome tho dread enemy
Of mankind, Death, or ct least to keep
him at bay for an indefinite time.
The article to which We refer is head
ed ITO Abolish Death from Old Age"
and the opening sentence 10: "For the
first time in tho history Of humanity
living man may say, 1t may be pos
siblo for m. to live Indefinitely, until
some accident shall take me of; as
long as escape such accidents / need
not die OF old age.'" This was spoken
by person connected with the Pas
teur Institute in Paris, who went on
to explain that the discovery of 1900,
of serum for the blood which reju-
venate human being--a discovery
which made 30 much excitement at
the times that hundreds Of old men
fooked to the institute asking to be
restored to youth-was only the first
Of series of discoveries, and that
those since made have all tended to
confirm the belief that the final out
come Of the experiments will be to
make good all that was prematurely
claimed for the first one.
The writer Of the article in ques-
tion interviewed the celebrated
specialist on nervous disorders, DR..
Oscar Jennings, relative TO the alleg-
ed discoveries at the Pasteur Insti-
tute; and, while admitting the pos
sibility of such results, DR.. Je- uings
gave it as his opinion that the use of
such discovery would be almost neu-
tralized by the uuwillingness Of pa
tients to submit to the strict regimen
invariably prescribed as an indispen-
sable part of any efforts to prolong
life. 1t is not 80 much over eating as
the nature Of the food habitually used
that is accountable for vast number

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tioa is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
tkat's the best treatment.
