suit of this research and General Wal
lace's answer to Ingersoll was Ben
IIur," a work which has been more
widely read than any printed volume
save the sacred book of Scriptures.
The placing of Ben Hur" on the
stage in dramatic form was attended
with many interesting circumstances.
General Wallace had strenuously op-
posed any dramatization of his inn
mortal work. The author was unable
to see how the main incidents of his
book could be put into dramatic form
without violating the firmly grounded
principles of all who believe in the
Christian religion.
Finally Messrs. Klaw and Erlang-
er hit upon plan which would be per
fectly effective and yet treat the sub
ject with all possible respect. They
conceived the idea of simply suggest
ing the presence of the Saviour by a
shaft of pure white light of remark.

 Button Stewart, the negro recently caught by Sheriff Bandy's blood hounds, is being tried at Oil Trough today on the charge of assault with intent to kill. If released, he will be be promptly arrested by Deputy Sher- if Lockard Randy and brought here to answer to the charge of carrying con cealed weapons.
 Notice has been given by the mayor and marshal prohibiting the selling and throwing of rubber balls, fine confetti, flour, salt, meal or any sub stitute for the regular size paper con- fetti which is injurious to the eye sight and wearing apparel, and also the gathering of confetti from the ground. Violatcrs are subject to ar rest and fine.
 The crowds in attendance upon the street fair are increasing every after noon and evening. The shows are very fair and some of the free acts are especially noteworthy. The bicycle riding of Cyclone Wilson and his fem mine assistant perhaps wins highest praise. A large number of town peo- pie went the rounds of the "midwayo Wednesday evening. Confetti throw ing is lavishly indulged in and at every turn, the "rubber neck" which travels with all carnivals, cracks the passer-by to let him know that reve- lers are close at hand.

Through the efforts of M. P.

served to call the attention of the
most eminent Irish and English genoa
logists to the fact that he is the pres
ent representative of the old Celtic
dynasties of the Emerald isle and the
lineal descendant of the kings OF Lem
ster, as we'll as of Rodericl O'Connor,
the last king of Ireland. Edward VII
may therefore regard himself as the
legitimate sovereign of Ireland by
right of descent from the ancient Irish
kings, says the Chicago Tribune. Eva,
daughter of the king of Leinstcr, mar
ried Strongbow, and while one of her
daughters was the grandmother of
Robert Bruce, from the other, Eva
by name, descended King Edward Nv
of England, and through the latter's
granddaughter, Margaret, queen of
Scotland. daughter of King Henry VII,
the now reigning dynasty claims it's
right to the British throne. Roderick
O'Connor, the last king of Ireland, left
a daughter whose son was earl Of u

NEGRO EMIGRATION.

There is a we'll defined movement
among negroes in the South to promote
emigration to Liberia in Africa. This
movement ought to be cncolll:, gcd by
the white people. There is no doubt
but that the negro has made great
progress. considering the time which
has elapsed since he was IL savage
iii Africa. There is still much room
for advancement and there can he lit
tie doubt that the negro will continue
to advance. The slave trade which
brought the negro to this country was
Il good thing for the transported negro.
but a bad thing for the whites with
whom he came in contact The negro
has made much progress. Just how
much progress he has made we can
appreciate 10y comparing the Ameri-
can negro to the negro tribes in .Afri-
ca. The negro will never he able to
attain the height Of his ambition i'm Il
country where the white race rules,
because he will always he ditferentiat-
ed by his color and racial pccularities.
The white people of Il country. no
matter how many different national
tiles there may be. will in time be-
come one homogeneous people. but
this is impossible where race listinc-
tion exists. 1t is unthinkahlr to AID
vocate the settlement of the race
question by anal yamation. The Amer
lean negro has made such progress i'm
civilization as would enable him to
accomplish much for his race in Afri-
ca. He would at once become the
leader of great hor,les of people now
living in savage state. The negro
has enjoyed exceptional opportunities
in this country for education and
development. More has been done for
the black labOrcrs of the South than
has been done in European countries
for white labOrerS. There are no me-
groes in the United States for whom
there is not plenty of work at good
wages. Negroes may acquire and hold
property In any part of the United
States. 1t is not long ago that many
of us learned that there were white
people in Russia who were denied the
right to own land. There are school 5
and colleges for negroes ali over the
South. They receive the same consid-
GRAFTON and opportunities in the public
schools as the whites. But the me-
groes are not satisfied. They desire
country Of their own and this is not
unnatural or undesirable. 1t would
be a good thing for both whites and
blacks If there should be Il large emil
grafton to Africa. Even if there should
be such a movement there would, of
course, be left in this country a large
negro population. But if the Ameri-
can negro should once establish a
home and a country for SUCH of their
people as Of their own free will would
desire to live apart from the whites,
