There Is a little boy in this
town who is making over SS a day

And this alschool town and not a

This and other little kids stand
around the doors of the drug stores
and watch the harvest hands come
out with the bottles. follow and of

the empty bottle and stand around
and see them guzzle it down.

SOUTHERN NEGROES ROBBED.
Made to Contribute to Bogus Pension
Fund Bill

A special to the New York Times from
Thomasville, Ga, yesterday says: Senator
Mark Hanna's bill to pension the ex-sIayes
of the south has been taken advantage of
by smart negroes from the north to "work'
the ignorant blacks of this section Of Geor-
gia for thousands of dollars. Some time ago
a negro named Mitchell came to this place
representing himself as Senator Hanna's
personal agent. This negro spoke to large
assemblies of negroes and organized socie-
ties in over a dozen counties for the DUR
pose of pushing the bill. Initiation fees and
monthly dues were charged, and all this
money poured into the pockets of Mitchell
and his associates The negroes simply
went wild over the scheme, and it is esti-
mated that Mitchell has received more than
$4,000 Last week Mitchell left stating that
he was going to consult with Senator
Hanna. In the meantime N. b. Wilson. an
old negro of this place, had grown suspi-
cious and he wrote a personal letter to Sen
ator Hanna. telling him of the way Mitchell
was working the negroes. Today Wilson
received the following from Senator Hanna:
Senator Hanna has authorized no one to
collect money to aid in securing the passage
of this measure, and any effort being made
along that line with the representation that
ii is done with his sanction Is fraudulent
Senator Hanna introduced the bill by re-
quest and on investigation, finding the Sem
ate committee had reported unfavorably on
a similar measure In 1900 he withdrew the
bill 1t is not at all probable that favorable
action can be secured on such a measure in
the future.

ONLY LADY DELEGATE.
Miss Carrie E. Cathcart Enjoys That
Distinction

The sole lady delegate to the convention
of the International Typographical Union.
Miss Carrie E. Cathcart, represents her local
union probably as we'll as any man in the
convention represents his. She has been
honered with a seat in the front row at
the Columbia Theater. where the meetings
are being held; so that her first experience
in a large deliberative body is not made
difficult by the inability to hear the dis
cussions of tangled parliamentary ques-
lions that is often complained of by persons
so unfortunate as to secure seats in the
last row.
Miss Cathcart Is a thorough printer, hav-
ing learned the trade about fourteen years
ago as an apprentice in a printing office
In Pierce City. Mo. Her native place is
Clinton. KY, but she has had wide ex-
