The real danger that confronts
honest city government IL not the
conscienceless rascal who stealth
lily sets his plans to plunder the
town and fatten off it's revenues.
but il is the careless citizen who
refuses to take an interest in poll
tics. 1t is the moral coward who
leaves town on election day for
fear of offending some one whom
his conscience wont let him vote
for, The man who "don't want
to get mixed up in IT, and
"has no time 10 waste on politics"
and the fellow who wants to "see
which way the cat jumps because
he don't want 10 lose his vote. J"
These are the men who make
Tammany rings possible They
are the people the political boss
loves. The part Of a good citizen
is to vote right regardless Of party

opEN-HEARTED PEOPLE.

In the Shetlands one is always well
come to rest by the fire and cup OF
bland-fermented buttermilk whey
and, except where the people are ex-
ceedingly poor, tea with scenes or bis
cult is usually offered. Kindly and
open-hearted as the people are, the
slightest breach Of patronage or con-
descension puts them into a state OF
proud reserve that's not easily broken.
They will confer any number OF ia
vors; to accept them is always little
difficult, says the Detroit Free Press
They live in most patriarchal man
ner-three or four generations in one
house. The younger men are usual
ly sailors or fishermen; the elder men
and the women manage the croft. AS
plows are unknown, they "del" the
ground with spades before sowing
their little crops Of oats and barley
The hay and grain are cut sometimes
with a scythe quite often with a
small sickleA-methods that involve
hard labor even on croft OF from
two to four acres. The drying hay
is protected from the wind by con-
demned herring nets and is carried
to the stack in rope creels. Peats are
cut in the spring and dried all sum-
mer out on the moors and carried
home in kesshies (baskets) of straw
or dock slung across the shoulders
The women bring home most OF the
peats and are commonly to be met
with bent under towers several feet
high, but often singing and always
knitting.

 'sYours truly,
 w. H. Storey. County Superintendent of Education" In addition to the extracts from the report of an official of the Tnskegee tnsfi- ute who made visit to Montgomery, Ala, and reported on the work being done there by Tuskegee students published on page 3f49, the following may also be cited:

Scott Thomas found in charge of Mir. M. c. Sootts dairy. This establishment was milking 164 cows when was there l with 90 more dry, and helfers in the pas ture. Mir. Scott has had several men from Tuskegee dairy school before this one. When asked if they had given sat- tsfaction, he said, Every man that the Tuskegee school has recommended to me has been thoroughly satisfactory" In my presence at the time of the visit. he gave an order for two more men from the school as soon as the approaching va cation would set them at liberty.
 Jimmie M Pierce graduated in the class of 1898. She learned dressmaking and mll- Emery at Tuskegee, and for the last five years has been in charge of the millinery department of the store of J. W. Adams, Montgomery. where her work has not only given satisfaction to her employer. but has made her an excellent reputation in the city.
 Alice Smith graduated in the class oi 1902 and came at once to work at her trade of millinery at the store of J. W. Adams, where she has been employed ever since. I saw both these young women at work.
 William Chadwick. a house painter, I did not find but responsible carpenter of whom I inquired told me that he knew Chadwick to be reclEoned a Good work. man, and that he had plenty of work Another man of whom I inquired in re- gard to Chadwick said that he was a ca- pablo workman, but that he did not thinli he worked very steadily.
 Euphemia Davis. who graduated in tho nurse training class of 1899. has been em- ployod very regularly in Montgomery since then, but at the time inquired for her she was at work in an inlrmary in Selma. She has worked as a nurse ever since she left Tuskesee.
 Ellen Vaughn, graduated from the 1urse training department at Tuskegee in 1900. When I called to sec her she was not at work, but told me she had been almost constantly employed teaching or nursing since she had come from the school and this statement was confirmed by others of whom I inquired.
 s. c. Sheppard has been employed in the Montgomery postoffioe as a letter car Tier for over ten years. saw him at work on his route. He has an excellent home on Douglass Street. This mans wife, Nellie Moore, was also a Tuskegee student learning dressmaking. Since her marriage she has continued to work at her trade. When called at her house she was at work and had three women working under her. The exquisite neat ness of her house showed that she was a good housekeeper.
 Ida M. Abercrombie graduated from the class of lBs9 and since then has taught continuously in the city schools of Mont- gomery, being at present employed in the Day Street School. I visited her school. and am satisfied that she is an unusually competent teacher.

with their families. The first Is rather old and uncomely in apearance from the outside, but the interior Is more pleasing. The bedrooms are large and clean, each having sufficient windows and doors to permit of necessary ventilation during the sleeping hours. The dining-room is well kept. and the whole interior of the house presents q neat, tidy and attractive ap- pearance. This house is to be replaced by a larger one, to be built during the winter
 large cotton gin, with an eighty-tooth saw. is owned and operated by these young men. Last year. besides ginning the 126 bales of cotton raised upon their own plantation, they glnned the cotton raised by nearly all the other farmers in the neighborhood.
 The postof1ce at Dawkins was formerly about four miles from its present. location, but since the Reid brothers settled where they now are and the community built up so rapidly the postoffice was removed to their place and the plantation was named Dawkins. The postoffice is located in the general, merchandise store of the Reids, and MT. Frank Reid is postmaster.
 There was neither a church nor a school house in the community when these young men went to Dawkins They purchased four acres of land nearby and donated it for the purpose and assisted in build ing a comfortable church, which has been used both as a church and a school house. Preaching services are held regu- larly dn the church and a fiourishing school is now being taught from seven to nine months each year. Last year there were more than one hundred boys and girls registered. MT. J. N. Galloway, who graduated from the Tuskegee Insti- tuition in 1892, Is principal of the school and has one assistant teacher. A new two-room school house is now being built through the efforts of MT. Galloway and will be completed at the time of the opening of the school the latter part of next October.
 I am often asked to what extent we are able to supply domestic servants di- rectly from this institution. l always an- swer, Not to any large extent, not withstanding that women are trained here in everything relating to work in the home." When a woman finishes one of our courses she is in demand at once at a salary of three or four times as large as that paid in the average home. Aside from this, we are helping more in the direction of preparing workers in the home by sending out in the different portions of the country strong leaders who will go into local communities and teach these lessons, than We would be by trying to send cook directly into

paid for. A large central building has been erected at a cost of 5000 This contains offices, classrooms and e chapel that will seat 600. This building is paid for. and girls dormitory to cost $4,0OO, for which the money is in the treasury, is in process of erection. The plans for both of these buildings were drawn by a Tuskegee student. A barn to cost $500 Is nearly completed. and there are several other small buildings. Miss Wright Is assisted by three Tuskegee graduates. one as the farm superintendent, one as treasurer and bookkeeper, and the other as carpenter and teacher of drawing. The day and boarding students number more than 300. Farming in it's various branches is the principal work of the students, but they are also taught shoemaking, car pentry. cooking, sewing. housekeeping and laundrying, while printing and black smithing are soon to follow. The school spent 5000 last year in current expenses, building expenses and the purchase of land.
 One of our graduates, MT. William V. Chambliss, has charge of the farming operations of the Southern Improvement Company. an organization that controls 1000 acres of land, and has settled in 1t. up to the present time some forty negro families; and the number is increasing each year. These families are being given the oportunity. through their labor and the guidance of MT. Chambliss, to buy their homes. MT. Chambliss does not use the hoe himself. for he finds 1t more economical to spend his time in other directions When the world wants cot ton or corn, 1t cares little whether the man uses his pen or his hoe. What 1t desires are results. Some men have the ability to produce fifty times as much cot ton with the pen as with the hoe.
 want to show one example, at least. that will show how our students succeed when working directly under others The letter which follows Is to the point:
 Professor Booker T. Washington:
 Dear Sir-The students from your school who have been at work here dur ing the vacation expect to return to Tus- kegee tomorrow and we want to say to you that these boys have demonstrated to our company the wonderful benefit of your teaching. These young men have taken hold of their work in a steady and businesslike way. and have worked un- complainingly during the severe heat of the past summer. We would like, if 1t is possible, to induce a number of your students to purchase their homes about our works in North Birmingham and be- come regular workmen in our different shops.

The four double wagons, the single top buggy the road wagon and go-cart are all in good order and are kept under cover when not in use. Not infrequently do we find farmers in the South who. when the crop Is made. leave the blows, the mower. the rake, and in fact all the farming im- plements. standing out In the field in all the weather during the winter months. A visitor to the Reid brothers pianta- tion, however. will not find this to be true with regard to their farm machinery. Each piece of machinery on this planta- tion has a placn under shed built for the purpose, and is kept there when not In use.
