SO Says Thos. Dixon. and PrOphe-
sizes That He VIII Be Driven from
the South.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., of New
York, makes a remarkable state
ment about the negro race, which is
interesting for its pungency even if
it is overdrawn. lie thinks the
negro is no good. In an interview
he said: 81 have know them from
the first years Of my life. My delib-
crate opinion of the modern negro
in this country is that he is utterly
worthless. If l were the devil I
would not let him in. They will be
driven from the South just as surely
as they swarm that place. | make
the statement that no farmer in the
South can make his farm pay with
negro labor of the modern sort.

border lines of Gloucester and
Mathews counties, in Virginia, and

all and have turned to raising polled

Snow | work the farm with two
white men. The farm supported
itself last year, which it had never
done before. There is no hope for
the Southern farmer until the negro
is expelled and white labor substi-
tuted. | have travelled recently in
Iowa, the richest state, agricultur-
ally, in the Union. Their magnifi-
cent farms have been brought to
their high state of perfection by
white labor. There is not negro in
the State employed as farm hand
"That brings me to the subject of
education, which is beyond all things
the cause of the negroes worthless
ness. He is educated by the State,
and then there is no place for him.
The educated negro does not want to
he farm hand or to cook and nurse
and clean floors. He wants to be a
doctor or lawyer or something of
that sort, at least clerk.
"The Southern man still prefers a
negro as servant, but it is the old
negro he wants, not the educated one.
In twenty-five years there will be no
old negroes; they will all be educated
and then will be the time when there
will be no place for them in the
South"

One of the greatest drawbacks
and hindrances to neighborhoods
and communities is the "prophets''
who train their eyes to read the signs
which point to calamity. No man
is worth "his keep" to any individual
business who does not carry enthu-
siastic hopefulness into his work.
This is equally true of those who
direct the affairs or help in the busi-
ness of a community. The man who
infiicts his pains and aches and his
mischances on his neighbors every
time he meets one Of them, soon
comes to be regarded as nuisance,
and his company is avoided by all
save people of his Potomac

There are some laws on the Statute
Books that are being boldly ignored
in this State. Some of them are use
less and practically valueless, but
there is one enactment that is being
ignored that should be lived up to
by every law-abiding citizen. We re-
fer to that law which may be found in
the printed Acts of the General AS
sembly, session of 1884, Chapter
366, page 425. That law provides
"that if any person sell, barter. give

was a Person of Brain and

SHIPPED. His Word was Law, and

Now the Young Man was always
on the lookout for Soft Snaps, and
as he roved around in search of
such he happened TO get an Idea.

tract. l will HE me away to my

not get some Pie" The Young Man
got the Contract, and proceeded to
get the Pie.
AS Time in its courses rolled
around the Young Man pottered at
his Contract and got his Great Big
Slices of Pie. The Common Herd,
who furnished the PIE, Grumbled
because the Contrast was only half,
or less, filled. They Grumbled at
the Young Man and they Grumbled
about bim and they Grumbled to
him. With his mouth full of Pie
he merely waved the people away
and calmly remarked that he now
had his Pie, and that they, the
Common Herd, might go to Heaven

Many of our people, besides num-
bers out of the forest, who have a
wagon and horses are engaged, dur
ing this slack period, in the hauling
of lumber from the many saw-mills
up in the woods about Marvin Grove,
to the river near this place. For a
long distance around the shore, and
for two hundred yards up from it,
lumber is piled and wood corded at
Rowe's landing. Every week one or
more vessels leave this place loaded
with lumber, wood or barrel stave

goes to Washington and II. @. Rowe

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

] NEW YORK. March 19.-There was

of Peter Power against the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. The object
of the suit is to overthrow the transfer
TO the Northern Securities company Of
the control of the Northern Pacific.
John S. Kennedy, a banker. was the
/ hrst witness today He said he went
/ to Europe in the spring Of 1901. and
/ when he left James J. Hill and Lord

The witness understood that much Of
the stock was held by J. p. Morgan

The witness did not know before he
went to Europe that Z. II. Hartman

and later he was informed that these

IHJUNCTIOHS TO BE ISSUED
RAILWAYS DETERMINE NOT TO
TRY TO STOP THEM.

CHICAGO. March 1e--Attorneys rep
resenting the Kansas City-Chica-
90 railroads and W. A. Day, rep
resentng the government, will hold a
conference here tomorrow or Friday
with a view to reaching an understand
ing regarding certain phases of the
proposed litigation seeking to secure an
observance of the provisions Of the in
terstate commerce act.
By agreement next Tuesday has been
set as the Gay for hearing the petition
at Kansas City before Judge John
Phillips and it is expected that before
that time an understanding win be
reached whereby the railroads viii not
actively oppose the granting of the in
functions sought.
Mr.. Day is on his way to Chicago
from Kansas City and it is understood
that he has consented TO the confer
ence. Officials say that provided the
restraining orders shall be drawn in
a manner acceptable to the railroads
and provided all lines both east and
west of Kansas are included. no Oppo-
sition viii be male TO the litigation.
After further considering the situa-
ton the general cOunselOrs Of the roads
involved decided that iniunctions
against the eight railroads named in
the bills would bring about a situation
greatly to be deplored by the railroads.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island, for ex-
ample, extend west Of Kansas City.
the former controlling its rails to the
Pacific coast Should injunctions issue
against them and not against the Union
Pacific and other lines that extend west
from Kansas City and southwest also.
the result so far as the lines enjoined
are concerned would be disastrous
1t is asserted that such a condition
would work an injustice against these
roads, as it would preclude their meet
ing competition. Lines which do not
extend to the Missouri river have de-
cided to indOrse this view of the case
and join in insisting upon the govern
ment's fling bills against the following
additional roads; Kansas & Northern
connecting, Kansas City Northwestern.
Kansas City Southern, LeavenwoTth.
Kansas City & Western, Missouri.
