BROTHER BOB POINTS OUT
PLAIN FACTS TO DIR. HILLS.
Good Reasons Why Red Polls Hold
Aloof from Certain Other Breeds--
The Application.

DR.. Hills, the eloquent divine of the
North has said smart things against
the South on the negro problem. It
seems that recently he has been in.
censed because some one refused 30
make the bad Booker II. Washington
lay in. He is alleged to have invited
Washington to speak in his Church
when he favors New York with another
visit and promises to take him to his
home to spend the night, and If no one
else will do it he will make his bed and
consider it an honor to do so. Bully
for DR.. Hollis.
That there is an unwarrantPd excess
to which the race prejudice IS indulged
by some people in the South there eau
be no question. Ranking in the hearts
OF some men there is feeling against
the negro close akin to murder. They
would think little moro of killing me-
gro than of shooting dog. But while
these facts are true, it is nevertheless
true that these cases are rare, and by no
means representative Of the attitude of
the Southern white men toward the
negro. No moral we'll meaning man
entertains any such antipathy for the
negro. We wish him we'll aud treat
him we'll, only we do not accord to him
social or political equality, nor can we
afford to do it.
have in my pasture three distinct
breeds of cattle, namely: Jerseys, Red
Polls and Devons. These Red Polls
hold themselves aloof from the other
breeds, seeming to manifest q race
pride, preferrlng to associate only with
each other. They detest the doctrine
of social equality, DR.. Hollis to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Now, these
red beauties, have, for years, been bred
to certain points Of utility and excel
lence. They have right to be proud
of the achievement of their fore-fathers
in the embodiment Of such excellencies
and merit as has been incarnated into
themselves-proud of their peculiar con-
tour, their color, their carriage. 1t Is

PREPARING FOR
WAR MANEUVERS.
Laurens Soldier Writes
From Portland.
WORK PLENTIFUL.
Interesting Account of
Army Life.
Why Portland was Selected as the
Point for the Contest-BurgOyne's
Old Plan.

PORTLAND, ME-, June 8. Portland,
Maine is being put on war footing In
preparation for the joint army and navy
maneuvers this summer which will
center around Portland harbor.
The joint maneuvers this year will
be much more elaborate aud compre-
hensive than the preceding ones and
will represent as closely as possible
the conditions of actual warfare.
There will be no picnic connected
with the realistic drill. 1t will be busi-
ness all the way through, and the most
beneficial results to the army and navy
and the volunteers are anticipated.
Our routine of duty is as follows: The
first call in the morning for us to get
up is sounded at s As a. m, roll call at
q, and then for 10 minutes we have cal
isthenics: eat breakfast at 6.3O: fatigue
call Is sounded at z; drill call at s; re-
call from drill 1890; recall from fatigue
1l.3O; dinner at u; drill and fatigue
call is again sounded at o'clock p. M;
recall from drill $50 aud recall from
fatigue 4.30; supper at $50 and roll call
again at G.45. Now you see we don't
have much time to be idle, but never
theless where there are over ten COM
panies of soldier boys there will always
be time for some one to keep the fun
going, such as "blauketing," "two.at-
once" tying the knot in the yellow
cats tail" and many other plays which
are very familiar in the camps.
Portland was selected as the scene Of
the struggle on account of the strste-
gic value of its harbor in war with
any European power.
The opposing nation, according to
the war experts, probably would try to
seize Portland and establish base and
throw an army across New England,
following the plan of General Burgoyne
In the Revolutionary war. The harbor
Is defended by Forts Mckinley, Will
Iiams and Levitt and Fort Preble, a
mortar battery.
There are four entrances to the har-
Dor, the main channel being between
Forts Levitt and Williams. The num-
Der of entrances will give the coast ar
Iillery large area to defend.
Rear Admiral Coghlan, now in COM
nand of the Caribbean squadron, pro-
oably Will command the attacking
leet and Rear Admiral Baker will be
assisted by Rear Admiral Sands COM
handing the training squadron.
There will surely be au exciting time
Turing the maneuvers which will last
loout a week. There will be people
rom nearly all over the United States
% witness the scene. The soldier bows
'f this island will shout at the top of
'heir voices when the order comes for
