In our opinion the delivery of actual
cotton will not be practiced to any
great extent, owing to the scarcity
Of the staple and the high prices
which it brings wherever found. The
rumor of yesterday to the effect that
Lowell mills would ship 5000 to 10,
900 bales to New Orleans for delivery
could not be confirmed today. This
delivery threat has been made a
number of times this season, and has
yet to be executed and begins to look
like a ruse to frighten longs out Of
their holdings. At any rate it should
not affect the late positions, except
sympathetically and as weather con-
ditions continue unfavorable, too much
rain and cold nights, we believe the
new crops should be bought on the

At this moment it is rumored that

age and Strengthened circumstan-
ces forced him upon the public
charities he told a friend in Senc
ca as he was leaving for the poor
farm a secret which he had kept
for 20 years. The story as re
ported is about as follows: Twen-
ty-nlne years ago he was living
in Lynchburg, Va, where he had
Il good business, but owing to
some trivial misunderstanding
with his family he sold out his bus
mess, placed 81, 400 in the hands
of his wife and told her to take

children and then turned away.
For nine years he was in the
Uni!ed States army and after that
he has wandered about aimlcssly
till he came to Seneca several
years ago.
Lacy's friend thought he would
see if there was anything in the
story, SO he wrote to the post>
master and chief of police ut

stances and asked for informa.

A Bashful Man

One of our town dudes, who is
rather bashful, and is "sparking"
ayoung lady few miles from
town, called a few aftern )ons ago
to spend the evening with her.
While there it commenced rain
ing and the girls father asked
him to remain over night. The
next morning when he was invited
to seat ut the breakfast table he
reluctantly accepted. He was very
nervous and agitated. He sat op-
poslte the mirror and discovered
that he had forgotten to comb his
hair. Then he dropped his fork on
the floor and as he stopped to pick
it up he upset his coffee. Matters
went from bad to worse, until
finally the young man quit eating
and pat his hands under the table.
The loose end of the tablecloth
was lying in his lap and when he
touched it he turned pale. He
thought it was his shirt and that
in his nervous excitement while
dressing he had forgotten to put
the garment inside his trousers.
This accounted for the smiles and
embarrassment. There was no
time to lose. He hulriedly stuffed
the supposed shirt inside his trou-
sers. Two minutes later when the
family arose from the table there
/ was a crash. The dishes lay in q
broken mass on the floor. The
young man pulled three feet of
tablecloth out of his breeches anG
fled through the door. He is now
hiding, and the girl is looking fol
a less bashful lover, who can tel
his shirttail from tablecloth. =

Booker Washington
Advises Blacks.
timely and Truthful Remarks
Made by Negro Who is
Working for His Race.

L. Washington, head of the Tus-
kegee institute, tonight delivered
an address. He said that recent
regrettable events in connection
with the race question went to
show that the lynch law is not
confined to any one section of the
country. These events, be said,
tend to simplify the race problem
by making it national. He an
pealed to the negro to be calm and
to exercise self control.
Principal Washington said in
part; "In the present season of
anxiety and almost of despair,
which possesses an element of the
race, there are two things | wish
to say as strongly as | may:
"FlrSt. Let no man of the
race become discouraged or hope
less. There are in this country,
north and south, men who mean
to sec that justice is meted out to
the race. Such man is Judge
Jones of Alabama, to whom more
credit should be given for blot>
ting out the infamous system of
peonage than to any other man.
"Second. Let us keep before
us the fact that, almost without
exception every race or nation
that has ever got upon its teet
has done so through struggle and
trials and persecution.
"No one should seek to close
his eyes to the fact that the race
is passing through a very serious
and trying period of its develop
ment, a period that calls for the
use of our ripest thought and so-
ber judgment.
"Let nothing lead us into ex-
tremes of uttcrance or action. 1t
is, in the long run, the race or the
individual that exercises the most
patience, forbearance and self
control in the midst of trying con-
ditions that wins its cause. Let
nothing induce us to descend to
the level of the mob. In advocat-
ing this policy | am not asking
that the negro act the coward; we
are not towards. The part we
have played in defending the flag
of our country is sufficient evid>
ence of our courage.
"The outbreaks of the mob
emphasize two lessons, one for our
race and one for the other citizens
of our country, south and north :
for 1t is to be noted that the work
of the lyncher is not confined to
one section of the country. The
lesson for us is that we should sec
to it that SO far as influence of
parent, school or pulpit is con-
cerned, no effort be spared to i'm
press on our own people that idle
ness and crime should cease. We
should let the world know on all
proper occasions that we consider
no legal punishme mt too severe for
the wretch of any race who at.
tempts to outrage a woman.
"The lesson for the other por.
tion of the nation to learn is thai
both in the making and in the ex-
ecution the Same law should be
made to apply to the negro as to
the white man
"There should he meted Out
equal justice to the black man and
the white man. Whenever the
nation forgets, or is tempted to
forget, its basic principle, the
whole fabric of government fol
lboth the white man and the black

The OLD. B LACKBEAR.

Gus Ivey has taken charge OF The

Purcell Register, Immediately asks
him if he cannot twist the bear around

should be proud Of Straight forward
business principles, together with a
liberal use of advertising space in The
Star, has caused Mr.. Crockett to extend
