THE NEGRO UP NORTH.

The wild rlotiDg Of the mob at Dan
Vile, H., melted by the usual un
speakable crime OF a negro, emphasizes
the fact that these outrages by negroes
on white women and the resulting
outrages by mobs are more frequent
lust now In the North than in the
South, says the Courier Journal.
For instance, one issue OF a recent
New York paper contains reports OF an
assault by negro on the daughter OF
the Mayor of Red Bank, N. D., the
brute being only saved from death at
the hands OF a mob by a hurried re-
moyal to the Jail Of another town.
On the same day a negro assaulted
the eleven. year old daughter Of far
mer near New Baltimore. N. y, and
WAS saved from mob vengeance IN
the same manner that the New Jersey
nergo was.
ON that day also young white
woman Of prominent family was as
sauited by negro about two miles
from Trenton, N. j., who escaped cap
ture.
Finally, at Liberty, N. Y, white
woman was rescued from lecherous
negro and a mob had got his necs
into a moose before he in turn was
rescued by the police.
Yesterdays dispatches reported three
Northern mobs against negroes-twc
In Indiana ana one in Iowa.
It is noticeable that the Northern
editors are having much less to say
than formerly about such lawlessness
In the South, ana 1t is reasonable &c
infer that these repeated examples OF
It at their own doors Is at last having
an ap precisble effect.

FOR BOOK AGENT.
The Nashville Banner says:

The Nashville Banner says:
"Among those mentioned in connec-
ton with the succession to the office OF
Book Agent of the Methodist Publishing
House is Rev. A. P. McFerrin, now
pastor in Columbia, Tenn. and formerly
pastor of Tulip.street Church in this
city. DR.. McFerrin is widely known
and esteemed, and is one of the most
capable of ministers and man OF
excellent business attachments and
methods. The prominent mention OF
his name as suitable successor to
DR.. Bigham is not due to his own initia-
tive, but to a desire upon the part OF
friends, who recognize his worth and
capabilities, to see him chosen for the
position"
Mr.. McFerrin's name will be received
with favor wherever it is heard. 1t
was Rev. John B. McFerrin who took
hold of the Publishing House when
it seemed hopelessly in debt, and estab-
lished it upon solid business founda-
ton, and the Methodists would like to
see blood descendant of the grand old
man wear his shoes.
But Mr.. McFerrin has other ana
even better recommendation than this.
He tried to escape his call to the
ministry, and was merchant and a
practical business man in his early
manhood, and the habits and training
and experience he received then, and
which he has never forgotten, would
serve him we'll in the office and duties
of Book Agent. And he is fine
preacher as WE'LL There are few better
in this conference. And in visiting
other conferences and the general
conference, ard preaching upon stated
occasions, and presenting his reports to
these distinguished bodies, he would be
quite equal to the task.
Last but not. least, he has not been
connected in any way with the late
Publishing House unpleasantness. He
has not been partisan to either side,
and would not be Objectionable to either
SIDE He is strong man for the place
and his church in Columbia would
endorse him to man.

A HAPPY SOLUTION.

While Others of us were indulglng
in hot air. Judge Erwin had ON his
thinking cap. and pas evolved prop
osltion that will meet with the we'll
nigh unanimous approval OF the citi'
gems of Columbia interested in loca'
ting and establishing training
school for boys.
Tue proposition is for the city tc
give to the enterprise the old
public school property on Embargo
street-commmodio building ano
handsome grounds, provided 1t shall
be forever used for the purpose
named; or in case of failure of such
use, to revert to the city. And the
further suggestion Is that with the
private money already subscribed,
dormItory and gymnasium be added.
That Is a fine idea, and makes the
school now almost certainly go.
The people bought and improved these
grounds: and now that the city has nc
real need of them, it is but proper,
fair and just that they should go back
TO the people again; and in no other
way can they be SO advanrageously
used for the general good.
the location Is not the best. There
are objections to the neighborhoo:.
But with proper public spirit and
united action these objections may In
the main be removed.
The negro houses OH Embargo street,
from Ninth on South, ought to be
converted into nice cottage homes for
white people. Wherever the owners
are indIsposed or unable to make these
improvements, some private individual
or improvement company should be IN
duced to handle them. And tue
sooner this Is done the better For a
good start is a great thing. And ii
the general public sees that Colum-
bias money and enterprise and public
spirit is actually IN earnest and behind
this school, 1t will be success; other
wise 1t will be q failure.
The location ls not as accessible as
II might be from the North ana West.
1t is very Objectionable to the parents
to have their children pass through
Black Bottom on South Main street
and from Eighth to Eleventh there is
no street connecting Garden with
Main. If the city would open street
from Garden to Main, or even widen
the alley that is nearly opposite
Tenth, it would add greatly to the
convenience of residents on and west
of Garden, and enable the children
north of Eighth street to avoid Black
Bottom.
We congratulate the people OF Co.
Iumbia that their long talked OF and
hoped for school for boys, seems now
soon to become real substantial
thing.

people witnessing the execution OF
O'Brien and Whitney, from the win

THE oUARANTINE.

The only noticeable development
in the local management of the
quarantine which we have observ-
ed today, is that the city health
physician, DR.. Layton, seems to be
exercising some authority. We say
observed, because we have not been
specifically informed of such author
ity being a recent matter.
However, we know ii is late
thing, for had it been in vogue all
along we are confident that it would
have been in evidence.
An inquiry was received by the
State health officer and Mayor Car
son this morning from the city and
health authorities OF Matamoros,
relative to the action taken on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande. The
Mexican officials were notified that
everything possible and practicable
had been done to make the quaran-
tine effective.
Word was received in Browns
vile today that two cases of yellow
fever had developed near Hidalgo.
We also understand that Browns
vile will quarantine against Mata-
moros tonight.

Us all weep: "Tenderly she laid the

had gone before. She made no out
cry. she did not weep. Such mo-
nlent was too precious to be spent
in idle tears. But soon there came a
time when ii seemed as if nature
must give way. She lifted her voice
and cried loud and long. Her cry
was taken up by Others who were
near and it echoed and re-echoed
over the grounds. Then suddenly
all was still. What was the use of
1t all? She would lay another egg

Successful Remedies
For Mosquito Bites.

As mosquito bite causes quite a
different effect upon different per-
sons, so the matter of counter
irritants. or applications to allay
the pain, is also somewhat indi-
vidual For most persons, the APP
plication Of strong drop OF ammo
MIA water directly to the bite will
stop or materially lessen the pain.
1t is the remedy l use and it has
been used by many others with
equal success.
Eucalyptol has no effect in my
case, but acts we'll with some others.
Menthos is effective with many
persons, and gives some relief in
nearly all cases.
A drop of kerosene oil proves eff
fectiGe in some instances.
A bit of raw onion rubbed over
the bite is almost as good as the
ammonia in my case, and with such
others as have tried it; but is not
nearly so conveniently carried
about or applied.
The best method where the pois-
oniEg is not really severe is to let
the bite alone and pay no mental
attention to it.-John B. Smith.
Sc. d., Entomologist State of New
Jessey.
Since the advent of the mosquito
many remedies for driving them
from the house have been suggested.
The manner in which almost every
Albanian continues to suffer from
the pest would indicate that few of
these remedies have proved success
full. DR.. Fl. G. Womack, of &c
Strong street, recommends a method
which he guarantees to prove eff
fectiye and which he has tried with
success. Here it is:
Buy > cents worth of insect
powder. Close the doors and shut

the powder is hardly noticeable and

quitoes. DIR. Womaek places the
powder on large fan and in this
way throws it into every part of
