Buzzard in Church.

Clarendon, July l5.-The antics of buzzard at q negro church meeting here Sunday have arous- ed all the hereditary superstition Ill some of the colored people of Clarendon. The buzzlrd entered the church during the progress of the service and deliberately sought out the pulpit, where 1t perched itself. from which point 1t viewed the congregation with solemn and ominous dignity. Elf forts to trlghten 1t away were un- avIiling and the bird had to be seized and thrown out of the church. Many of the negroes, very superstitio Us, be- lieye the mysterious visit of the bird portends some great evil

those things. Any northern man who wants to open a restaurant on the bi-colored plan can doubtless obtain a license for the same by paying the cash at the counter of the city clerk and then get what custom he can. We have free trade in such matters down here and people are free to sell or re- fuse to sell their wares to whom they please.
 We may also remark that most of our railway lines are now owned and controlled by inv estors and managers who live in the east and north. There is no law to prevent the railway owners from giving the colored people as fine cars as can be turned out from the Pullman or Wilmington factories. The question of what fashion of car the railway will furnish is not a matter of legal compulsion. The only requirement. public sentiment makes is the legal separation of the races and that is done for most wholesome reasons that bene- fit both races ;

Not Harry's fault9 2 Maybe not; but why did Harry pull back and try to keep Greaves out9 Not only Harry, but the en- tire regular state committee, is using it's utmost influence to keep the 'insurgent" candidate in the background.

 The State Republican says that mistaken policies affecting party management is no excuse for de- serting ones party organization. Will the 'steemed Republican please point out an offense of such proportions that would justify the voter in turning away from his party2 It seems to Us that when an intelligent voter thoroughly satisfies himself that the leaders of his party are leading the party in to the boneyard, then he is justified in turning away, especially when he gets to the gate and gets a glimpse of what the future holds in store for him if he blindly fol lows the leaders and marches in. But the Republican no doubt thinks the boneyard too good a place for tn e insurgents. ,"

THE TRUE NEWSPAPER.

1t is useless for a newspaper to try to please everybody, but in endeayoring to fairly and fearless ly advocate the rights of the peo- pie we are glad to know that the great majority of our readers heartily indorse the position taken by The Journal. The paper has made many friends and some ene- mics. We appreciate the friends we have made, and regret that it IS sometimes necessary to say things and advocate principles that cause opposition from the leaders of little sore headed cliques and combines. However, we shall go on printing the news, telling the truth and advocating the principles we believe to be right, regardless of the effects it may have on cliques and combines. A fearless newspaper may expect to make some enemies, but the paper that never makes an enemy makes but few friends. In their effort to of fend nobody, they disgust every body. Happily there are multi plying instances of newspapers that are highly successful, though entirely independent and ready at any and all times to speak their minds freely in the face of party or local prejudice.

CRoP-MOvING MONEY
Some Interesting Opinions Given by
Western Bankers.


New York, Sept S.-Some interesting
opinions as to the probable needs of cur
rency in the harvest states this year and
the amount likely to be taken from New
York have been forwarded to the Even
ing Post by bank officers at western
cities. Nearly all the bankers replying
agree that the west will need much more
ed a year ago.; the reason being, of course
the much greater total yield expected
Some estimate the increase over last
years needs at so per cent AS regards
the question how much money the west
now owns at New York, available for
such withdrawal, opinions vary striking
1y. The prevalent opinion seems to be
that such credits are not as large as they
were year ago. There is similar diff
ference of opinion regarding the present
condition of the western bankS-partly
due, perhaps to varying conditions in the
immediate neighhorhood Of the writer's.
All agree that money rates will be firm in
the west this season, but tight money is
not generally looked for.
Commenting the questions and
answers, an officer Of the National City
bank ventured the opinion that the in
terror banks have more money on deposit
in New York institutions than a year
ago, and very likely the amount before the
recent Withdrawals were made for crop
moving purposes was the largest on rec
ord.
Would s75 200, 900 cover the total bal
ances of country banks here before the
Withdrawals for the crops?" he was asked.
II should say they were fully that-per-
haps MORE" he answered.
How about the total Withdrawals of
the country banks during the crop-mov-
ing period?'
II don't think they will amount to more
than a third or half of the total" was
the answer. II should think 10000, 900
or $50, 900, 900 would be large estimate
perhaps much too large-but not all
of this is actually shipped. Much of it
and Is loaned out in Wall street by the
country institutions, because they prefer
to take advantage of the high interest
rates"

MOST ANcENT CROWN.
It Is Treasured Possession of Itaiiai
 Government.

Frcm Leslies Monthly.
 Among the crowns preserving the an1 cient form more than any others now worn Is the so-called iron crown of Lom- bardy, which is the most treasuerd na- tional possession of the Italian Kingdom, It is of golden "placqeus," or panelg rather longer than they are high, butt small in size, so as not to rise above tn } top of the head. They form, indeed. on ly a jointed band of foliaged embossed relief work, and one narrow wire of iroI binds them together in the inside-thP wire having the repute of being hanP mered out from one of the nails of our Savior's cross. It was the enlargement of these panels in other crowns which led to the cross band or "closure" of the crown. Look at the German crown and the Austrian. both adaptations of that of the old Emperors of the Holy Ro- man Emrire." The 'arch of empire'' became the result in the crown of the necessity for fastening parels for pro- lection fer che head from any stroke from above delivered in war.

DOG BREEDING FASHIONABLE.
Has, However, seen Taken Up Only
 Recently.

From the London Chronicle.
 It is only within the last half century or less, that the breeding of dogs other than those which may be regarded as peculiarly British has become popular and fashionable Our ancestors for the most part. confined their attention to the sporting breeds. and held in slight es- teem dogs that could not be used in shooting or some form Of the chase Nowadays lovers of dogs are numbered by the hundred and their pets take a wide range. varying In size from the tiniest of toy terriers to the stately St. Bernard or Borzois.
 As most people are aware, the King and Queen are enthusiastic lovers of dogs and have successfully exhibited numer- ous varieties. A fairly good portrait is given of her Majesty Queen Alexandra with two of her pets. which contrast curiously in size.
 It is curious to reflect that the first dog show of which there is any authentic record was held at such a comparatively recent date as 1850, in the town hall at Newcastle on-Tyne. Breeds were re- strfcted to two-pointers and settlers; and the late Mir. J. H. Walsh 'Stonehenge'D. ). for many years editor of the Field, was one of the judges. The first dog show for such it would seem to have been excited widespread attention. and sev- eral well-known fanciers of the period claimed the distinction of organizing it. At Birmingham in the following year. the first exhibition of sporting and other dogs" was held. In those days pointers and settlers were still largely used in shooting cartridges. and accordingly we find them In a class by themselves. There were only two other classes-hounds and toys-and the fact that all transporting varieties were included in the last named category speaks volumes for the com paratively small estimation in which they were held
 Nevertheless. 1t Is strange to read of mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and bulldogs being shown as toys From that time onward dog shows have advanced In interest and importance, and at the pres ent time have attained to remarkable degree of popularity. There are even some unbelievers who maintain that their importance is exaggerated and the whole business overdone. They assert that show points do not always furnish a just criterion of the dogs fitness for the special purpose for which nature in tends it. Possibly these preJudiced views emanate from people whose dogs have failed to catch the judges eye.

100000 RasebaIIsa Year
 Made by One Factory

The production of a baseball is an as its use is familiar
 Yet nearly four million balls a year or about 12, ,00O a day. are manufactured by ono Pennsylvania factory alone, and for great many of these s1.5O piece is paid.
 remarkable amount of skill and fine workmanship is needed to turn out ball that will stand, even for a short time. the powerful batting of the big players or will come up to the requirements for league work
 The various steps in the manufacture of a frst-class baseball are briefly as follows:
 It Is first a solid ball of Para rubber just an inch through. The ball is placed in a machine by a boy tender and is au- tomatically wound with a strong pure wollen yarn. Then winding is done with an evenness that no human fingers could equal. and the thick. blue-mixed woli forms a perfectly uniform covering for the core.
 This layer Is made just an inch thick When the right amount of yarn has been wound on 1t the machine stops automat- ically. the ball. now two inches thick is removed and another core set.
 The partly finished balls are next dipped. That is, they are dropped into a transparent fluid called plastic com position, which is really kind of. ce- ment. This fluid is very adhesive, and when it enters the wool covering there is a qualification that prevents the ball from ever being Knocked out of. shane So certain is this, in fact, that the com pany guarantees to replace all balls that are so injured.
 The balls are next wound again-this time with certain definite thickness of three-ply white yarn. This is covered by q three-ply blue yarn until 1t has reached the requisite size of nine inches in cir. conference. An of these winding pro. cesses have been automatic. and the balls

PIGEONS CARRY DISEASE.
Ohio Authorities Suspect Birds of
 Scarlet Fever Epidemic.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
 An epidemic of scarlet fever, starting in Cincinnati. has spread in the last few weeks through number of towns in Ohio, and the health authorities, after taking extraordinary precautions to con- fine the disease within the limit of its first ravages. were puzzled to understand me means by which 1t was carried else where.
 They made an investigation and. have now come to the conclusion that much or the contagion was spread by tame pig cons and doves which carried the germs from place to place
 The evidence on which this theory Is based is that scarlet fever spread under strict quarantine from a house on the roof of which there was a late pigeon cote. The only live stock about the house not quarantined was the pigeons which flew about the neighborhood
 If they didn't carry the disease germs the authorities don't know how the fever was spread.
