In reference to Hon. Frank A. Nc
Lain being left out of the Sixth District
by the new congressional apportion,
ment, the Lawrence County Press
says: "In parting with Mr. McLain, we
do so with feelings of profoundest re
greet, and take this occasion to say that
the oil Sixth District never had a
better representative, or indeed, in
our opinion, one so good. The Sew
enth District, where he has been placed
could not possibly do better thing
than return him to Congress, which we
intended to do had we not been denied
the opportunity" Frank McLain is
well and favorably known throughout
the Seventh District, as at present con
stituted, aud if he is candidate, the
man who turns him down will certainly
be the next Congressman.

His guardian angel warned him not to lose
This chance Of pearl to do another good;
So, as he waited, sorry to refuse
The asked-for penny there aside he stood,
And with his hat held. as by limb the nest,
He covered his kind face and sung his best.
The sky was blue above, and all the lane
OF commerce. where the singer stood, was
filled.
And many pauseS. and. listening, paused again
To hear the voice that through and through
them thrilled.

The Wise Advertise,

Some merchants set along without
advertising: some merchants get along
without signs. without window dress
ers, without offering to the people very
much in the way Of bargains, but there
are others that have different methods
Of doing business. There are some
people that get along with one eye,
with one arm, with one leg, with poor
eyesight. with shabby clothes, with
parsimonious ways, with freckles on
their faces, with asthma, without very
much memory, without sense; but no
sane man would insist on making a
rule of either one of these. So some
merchants get along without advertis-
ing that would do more business, bet
ter business, make more money, be
bigger people, better citizens, more
prominent people if they did adver-
tise. There was time when our
grandmothers used to card cotton and
spin the thread and weave the cloth
and make the clothes that their chill
dren wore, but the grandmother that
would go to doing that kind of bust
ness to-day would be very much
laughed at in the public estimation as
old fashioned and the man who does
not advertise is to the man who does
advertise, like the grandmother with
her spinning wheel to the cotton fac
tory with its whirring spindles of to-
day.
The man who is wise will advertise.
but the man who will not advertise is
perhaps Otherwise icksburg amer
icdH.
There is genuine wisdom in the
above. That advertising in The
LEADER brings good returns has been
proved and testified to by its patrons
time and time again.

In recent public address Booker
Washington urged negro farmers to
acquire property, toget out of the one
room cabin and TO take more interest
in the education of their children.
He warned them particularly against
emigration agents, exhorted them to
keep out of the courts. to keep their
wives and children off the streets and
away from public places and TO avoid
Sunday excursions. Booker's head is

The Burtien Of Prosperity.

General prosperity is a great bles-
sing, though it has its burthens; too
especially for the wage-e Garner with
his family of many non producing con
sumers. For prosperity begets an ex-
travagance with those who harvest its
fulness, which raises the cost of living
among those who CLEAN after them.

Negro Accused of Murder.
youths Companion.)

Gouth'S COmpaniOn.)
Many incidents are related illustra-
ting the mutual affection of master
and slave in the South before the war;
The Columbia State tells of such a
case.
A negro man, strong and healthy, but
getting gray from years, was on trial
for murder. He had killed another
negro and had been lying in Jail for
some time. awaiting his trial. The tes-
timony against him was given by other
negroes. who witnessed the killing.
When the case was called for trial by
the presiding judge, an old man rose,
and in a voice deep and low, but full
of marked gentleness, said:
'Will your honor please mark me
for the defence?"
1t was Gen. Robert Toombs. His face
was wrinkled with age, but it was
large and strong, and the lines of in
Itellect made depeer wrinkles than those
| of age. His white hair rolled back in
curls from a splendid brow. His form
was large and tall and straight, al
Though his movements were slow with
1.-THE years. His eyes stii, flashed as
when he stood in the Senate chamber
at Washington.

Howard the prisoner. In his own state
4 ment he claimed that the killing was
in self-defence.
l Gen. Toombs analyZed the testimony
of the eye witnesses, and then con-
cIuded thus:
Your Honor. please. and gentlemen
of the jury: A few years ago my only
brother fell wounded on the battlefield
of Gettysburg. He lay there bleeding
to death. with no friendly hand to help
/ him. Shot and shell were sweeping the
earth all about him. No friend could
i go to him, no surgeon dared approach
/ him.
my brother had body servant, who
waited on him in camp. The negro
saw his masters danger. and straight
out into that sheet of battle and flame
and death he went. A piece of shell
tore the flesh from his breast. but on
he went. and gathering my brother in
his arms. the blood Of the man min
Cling with the blood Of the master, he
bore him to safety and life. Jim, open
tyour collar."
The prisoner rose and opened his
shirt in the front. On his breast the
jury saw the long, Jagged scars where
1.-THE shell had torn its way.
..Jim's skin may be black" the gen.
eral continued, '.he may be negro,
but the man who would do what he
did has soul too white ever to have
killed man except in defence of his
own life
| The jury agreed with him and Jim
was cleared.
