CARROLLTON.
Business Portion Of North CarolIton Des.
troyed by Fire.

Carrollton, Miss, April ga very
disastrous fire occurred in the little
town of North Carrollton, which ad-
joins this place and is on the Southern
Railroad.
This morning fully two-thirds of
the business portion of the town was
consumed. North Carrolton is new
town, having built up since the COM
pletion of the railroad here.
This morning, at about o'clock.
F. n. Fox and Clarence Sledge. who
slept in Fox Brothers store, large
frame building, were awakened by the
roaring of the fire and by the smoke,
TO discover that the store was in
flames. They barely had time to es-
cape by back window before the
back end of the store began to fall in
indeed Mr.. Sledge was badly burned
ON the neck by falling shingle, or
something Of that nature. They gave
the alarm and all the people turned
out to help stay the flames. They
were enabled to keep the fire from the
bank and Chambley, Sullivan, Sanders,
Neill and Mabery'S stores by the fact
that the bank, which stood next to
Fox Brothers was new brick build
ing, with but little infIammable
material in it, but all the balance of
the business portion of the town and
two hotels and one dwelling houses
were consumed. The losses are as
follows:

SINGING REBUKE GIVEN.
Mississippi Negro Administers It to an
Ignorant Brother from the East.

A meeting Of the financial board
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church was held in Washington last
week, presided over by Bishop B. ".
Arnett. d. d., Of Wilberforce. O.
Upon calling the board together Sat
urday morning he said that the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church rep
resented the progress made by the
negro since the emancipation, and
declared that the time had arrived il
the history of the race where they
must do something for themselves
and not sit around expecting the
white people to 10 it.
"Our white friends have helped us
all over the country" he said, and
now we must help ourselves. What
we want as race in this country is
more men and women who will stand
for something, and not 60 around over
the country seeking friends and
crying hard times for the race. If the
negroes would stop spending SO much
money IN picnics, on excursions. and
open bank accounts, buy bank stock
and railroad stock, they would be
better off. Teach our people to be
honorable, to do right, to protect
womanhood, and they will build up"
Rev. DR.. Williams of New York
did not have much faith in the South
and thought that all the negroes
should leave the South and seek quar-
ters in the East and West, wher
they would be respected as men. This
statment brought the Rev. Dr. L.
W. Hampton, the financial secretary,
to the floor.
While | am your secretary, he
said II love the South and | have
no unkind word to say against it. !
am proud Of my Mississippi home,
and | intend to be identified with the
affairs of the State. The South has
done more for the negro than any
other section of the country. and it is
still doing more. | do not call sitting
down in a dining-room and eating a

but earning Il dollar with which tG
eat. and then being able to invite my
friends to my own home and eat

do you want the negro to go North
for:" he asked. ITO starve to death
| suppose, - continued DR.. Hampton.
''for that would be his fate. Have
you ever visited our Southern States
and witnessed the progressive negroes:
You never hear Of them getting into
trouble. We have business men and
women, men and women who are able
to purchase you folks who want US to

The United States department OF
agriculture has just reported on q
unique and effective method for kill

ing so much destruction to orange
trees In California. The principal
INJURY Ia the extraction Of the Juice
OF the tree. AS the scale insect Is
a mere pumping machine, it is CON
tinually absorbing the sap from the
tree. There is likewise "A poisoning
caused by the irritation excited hy
the hcnk OF the insect, or some liquid
injected through the same.
IL has now been found that the
only sure means Of destroying ,hrsc
pests is by suhiectjuF thom TO the
fumes OF hydrocyanic acid gas, COM
monty designated as "gassug" For
most species OF scaled insects one
good gussiug, when done at the right
season, will almost " not quite, cx-
