NOTES OF THE TRACK.

Bell rode Berendos on November
27 in a six-furlong event. The odds
went from to s and Kitty Bar the
Door,"
1t is probably fortunate for Ad-
kins that he is not under engagement
to ride for Dell Fountain just at pres
ent. The blonde-haired young man
would not make many more mistakes
before the big man from Idaho would
call special session of the Legisla-
ture, such as was held in a stall on the
closing day OF the meeting last spring.
Father Wenkler pulled up lame af-
ter his race.
1t was reported around last night
that Padua had one leg almost chop
ped off in the race in which the colt
finished fifth. A closer examination
may reveal that both hind legs were
chopped off.
If w. ]. Spiers. is conditioning Es-
calante for the four-mile Thornton
stake then Waterbury rode a patient,
waiting race, one that should get the
money in time. But If such is not the
case, then Waterbury gave a ridicu-
lous exhibition.
If the Cooks and Walters Union
ever disbands there will be a chance
to get a few good riders. The pres
ent stock with two or three exceptions
should be marked down and placed on
the bargain counter.
In former paragraph mention was
not made that Waterbury lalso rode
Diamante.
Fog obscured a view of the last
race. Jack Martin appeared to have
no difficulty in keeping Horton up
near the leaders.
Hilderbrand, for his rough work on
Forest King, was set. down for the
balance fof the week by the judges.
The same penalty was inflicted on
Ferrell for cutting across the field at
the start with Captain Forsee.
Subscriber is informed that Willie
Hack is a native of st. Louis.

BERENDos GALLoPs HOME.

Louis Wagner was the real warm one
for the Introductory Futurity course
event. The Eastern horse was played
down in the betting from to to even
money and. after leading until we'll
into the stretch, went all to pieces
Then Berendos, a 10 to shot. galloped
in ahead of Mountebank and Oscar
Tolle.
With good. strong handling, Military
Man, favorite for the two-year-oId
scramble, would have won. Adkins
rode him about as we'll as wooden
man would, finishing third, beaten but
two heads by Captain Forsee and The
Cure The winner, Captain Forsee
was quoted at II to l, and was not the
best horse in the race by any manner
OF means. Ferrell, who rode him, cut
across the field at the start and was
not headed.
d. Hall, on Father Wentker, beat
third number, Futurfty course run,
with field of eleven starting. This
feat contributed largely to his success.
The Schneider horse closed equal favor
ite with Rollick. Adkins, on the lat
ter. gave q miserable exhibition of
jockeyship, with a result that Father
Wentker finished first by a length. Rey
Dare, 10 to 1 chance, ran third.

of John Scott Fast TmeHorton Finally Finishes First

Probably the disqualification of For
est King, after the Oregon horse had
beaten Last knight neck for the mile
and fifty-yard selling event, at Oak
land yesterday did not please the book
les, but it suited the CROWD, which
manifested its approval by loudly
cheering the judges decision.
Last Knight was a to favorite
and at the head of the stretch he
looked all over winner. Then Foley
relapsed into one of his lethargic
spells ard, when aroused from the
trance, Henderson, with Heather
Honey had crowded up on even terms
with him. Foley Immediately reached
for his whip and let his mount swerve
in toward the rail-
Henderson, not to be outdone

dock Hildebrand. astride Forest King
caught the two leaders and he could
not refrain from taking a hand. 1t
was the old story of the new man in
the game being elected. Forest King
bore in badly, humping Last Knight.
ALLOW CLAIM OF FOUL.
When Foley lodged a protest with
the judges the claim was allowed and
the race given to the favorite. This
gave the place to Lacy Crawford and
show honors to Heather Honey.
Half of the six events down for de-
cision went to favorites in the betting,
but the sudden bobbing to the surface
of Berendos and Captain Forsee, both
long shots, were entirely unexpected.
There was a good attendance and the
books had the better of the argument.
Milt Jones' sprinter, John A Scott,
ran a remarkably good race in the six
furlong handicap, only to be downed a
neck by the Jennings entry. Iridius.
1t was peculiar betting affair
throughout. Although there seemed to
be little action behind Martinmas in
the ring, Charley Henshalls horse re-
ceded from to to 2, and then closed
favorite.
John A. Scott opened at to 5. and
closed at Is to 3, at which price the
odds about Iricius were backed. AL
though Adkins. Who had the mount on
Scott, was told 10 lay back. he went
out and made the pace The 113 pounds

IN WHAT TIE G
SHOULD BE EDU-
GATED.

The race problem, aud The edu.
cation OF the negro have become
popular issues of Southern politi.
cal campaigns. Many Of our most
learned statesmen doubt the wis.
dom of giving the negro the bene
tit OF literary training, asserting
that it practically ruins him for
any field OF usefulness. However
true or false this may be, it is
certain that there are departments
of work. especially suited to the
negro, III which there is a crying
need for special training. AS
long as the blacks remain in the
South: they will continue in do.
mestic service: and without train
ing they will grow still more in
efficient and incompetent. making
the servant question a nightmare
to all except the independently
wealthy, and hopelessly poor.
In ante-bellum days, house ser.
wants were trained for special
lines OF service from the cradle,
hy the far famed southern house.
wives, and kept in apprentice.
ship fer years, under that strictly
southern institution, the black
nanny. The freed cooks and
washer ladies of to day have had
no such training and have no am
bltion to excel, oil become expert
IN any domestic accomplishment.
Any.old thing they can slip shod
along and do, Is considered good
enough for white 'omans,n pro
vided pay is forthcoming. With
out the restraint OF parents born
in slavery and taught manners
and industry IN the "white folks
house." the new edition of the
negro is becoming a dangerous
element to civilization. The natu
rally indolent nature of the negro
has developed, as well as his in
born impudence, while false ideas
of true education have united
him for manual labor, or the white
mans helper. In no other capaci
ty can he abide ia peace in the
South. Instead of debating the
advlsability or wisdom of the
states giving the negro "a literary
training, it would be more practi.
cal, for Legislation to provide in.
stitutlons for training young ne
groes for efficient domestic ser
vice, and trades, and compel all
not actively engaged in manual
labor to attend. Such a measure,
If enforced, would be a death
blow to loaing, stay the progress
of vice and pauperism. The ne
gro has more need for becoming
acquainted with the broom, frying
pan, rolling pin and wash board,
than with text books and musical
Instruments. and our solons would
bring a blessing TO the land by
bringing about such a revolution.
The best class of white people
baYe nothing but the kindliest
feeling for the negro, and would
AID in bringing about a dis
.pensation that would prove a sal.
walton to the emancipated race.

race problem.

Oil Mill Coming.

Oxford is to have an oil mill
and that III tae near future. The
promoters of this enterprise are
Judge B. L. Kimbrough. Col. j
w. 4. Falkner. Prof. t. H. Somer,
vile, aud Messrs. s. H. Plant, +,
NJ. Showers and others. Over
$4,000 has been subscribed, and
many of our most substantial citl-
zens are anxious to join in the
enterprise. Yesterday morning
several of the promoters of the
proposed mill went up to Holly
Springs to inspect a plant at that
place. We understand that work
will begin on the mill buildings at
an early day.
This enterprise is a step in the
right direction and will not only
prove a boom to our town, but a
blessing to the county as we'll.
Property will advance in value,
trade will receive a stimulds
and every department. of work
will revive. We trust that every
citizen of our town will heartily
cooperate with the promoters
and stockholders of the oil mill,
and give their aid in making il a
grand success.

BARGAINS.

IT is generally conceded that
the word bargain, is the most fasci
mating in the English language, 10
women. The charm doesn't lie in
the thought of getting something
Tor nothing, bat in getting a great
deal tor a very little. The chronic
state of hatuess that afflicts most
women's pocket books, probably
accounts for their delight in bar
gain getting. But the prerogative
of bargains doesn't belong exclu
sively to women. Their husbands
and fathers not only heartily en-
core their business deals IN mill:
merry and dress goods, when a
shrewd bargain Is scored, but are
nothing 10th at taking a hand in
the getting a-great-deal for-very-
little, themselves. If you have
any doubt about it, try Offering
your personal property or real
estate for less than half its value.
and see how many hands are
ready to clinch them.
The lover of bargains doesn't
alWans deal ia real estate, but
takes time, labor and brains of his
fellow mOrtals for just as little as
he can secure it. The under paid
wage Garner, and above all the
unpaid struggleI for existence, are
walking testimonials of the preva
lence of the bargain-lOving III
stinct. Before conde@ning the
dry goods bargain hunter, exam
inc the roses in your own garden
and see if they need pruning.
