..OUR BROTHERS IN BLACK -
can Address From the South to
the North"

The negro problem, so conspicuous in
both the north and south at present,
has inspired a strong poem, Our
Brothers In Black; an Address From
the South to the North,' by Clarence
Ousley, editor of the Houston Post.
This poem, which, in the opinion of
many southerners, expresses the south's
true attitude toward the negro, is in
part as follows:
We forged, too, a bond of affection
More firm than the title you gave
The veal of the served and the serving,
The love of the master and slave.
We sucked the breasts of their mammies;
They fed from the fat of our store
And. called to the far field of conflict,
We left them on guard at our door.
We bowed to the God of the battle
We own he was wiser than We
And patiently took up the burden
OF teaching the bond to be free.
For wronging if wrong was committed,
The rod had been laid to our back,
Yet, stricken. we know it was ours
To guardian our brothers in black.
Instead you made wreckage of statehood;
You loosed us the terrors of race,
AID only our God and our virgins
Know what we were called on to face.
At last, by the right of the Saxon.
BY strength that was bred in the bone,
BY law that is higher than statute,
We came in the end to our own.
Again we gave cheerful compliance;
We took up the burden with care;
We give them the blessings of learning;
We pay-they receive-share for share.
And full opportunity opens
To black man and white man the same
To follow the bent Of his genius
To fortune and culture and fame.
By parallel Hnss they are treading
The highways all peoples have trod,
But socially there rs a chasm
Dug deep in the wisdom Of God.
To span 1t were death to both races;
Bat, drunk on your meddiesome brew,
They reel 30 the doom of the foolish
Or madden on wormwood and rue.
We knew them; they know us. Between
us
Is knowledge you never can know.
We know, for the centuries taught us;
They know, for they learned it in woe
So. hands Off The burden is ours,
And. faithfully plodding along.
Wen move through the night to the
morning
And answer to God for the wrong.

STARTLING LETTER
ABOUT COTTON DANGER.
FREEZING AND POISONING HAVE NO
EFFECT UPON INSECT.
Rapid EnGroachment of the Mexican Cot
ton Boil WeeviI and Great Destruc-
lion Is Threatened

Commissioner Poole of the Alabama
agricultural department has received
the following startling letter relative
to the encroachment of the Mexican
cotton boil weeyil that made its APP
pearance in Texas on the Rio Graude
five years ago and has been travelling
at the rate of one hundred and fifty
miles year, and now covers half of
Texas, and threatens great destruc-
tion to the cotton crop:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 8, 1903 Com
missioner of Agriculture of Alabama.
Dear Sir: Ia conversation with Mr..
ShOrtwell of this city yesterday he
told me the Mexican cotton boil
weevil made its first appearance IN
Texas near the Rio Grande river five
wears ago, and has been travelling at
the rate of one hundred and fifty miles
year, and new covers half of Texas
No method has been found to eXtermi-
nate them. They attack cotton, peas
and plums. Have been frozen without
effect; have been soaked in poison
without result. He has a reliable
friend who says that three years ago
he made fifty bales of cotton; Two years
ago he made twenty; last year ten.
His neighbors in the same ratio.
81 am from Huntsville, Ala, and
write to suggest that these pests
might be brought amongst us in oats
shipped from Texas and other prod
ucts.
"Have we any of this enemy in south
Alabama or Missippi? Please advise
at Huntsville. Would it not be well
to look into the matter, and if neces-
sary have our legislature provid e
ag ainst It's introduction? Mr.. Short
we'll attributes the decrease in the
Texas cotton crop to this weevil.
Yours truly, SAMUEL H. MOORE"

So many accidents have taken place during

events that the public and horsemen de-
mand the adoption of some measures to

said: Il belive the time is ripe for the Ma

to appoint two or three competent members
to pass on the qualifications of all horses

These men should act as a board of re-

Norris Peters Team Won.

The Norris Peters Company's base ball
team added another victory to their list
Saturday by taking game from the Rock
vile team on the latter's grounds by IA to
Z. Both teams had strong line-ups, and it
was due to the heavy hitting of the Norris
Peters boys that the score stood so strong
in their favor, they getting no less than
twenty-four hits Off Walker. The game
was nip and tuck up to the seventh inning,
when the Norris Peters boys added five
runs to their score, Babson knocking a
home run with three men on bases and
this rather put a damper on the spirits of
the Rockville team, as they failed to add
more scores after that.
