The summer school closed on
Wednesday. July 1st with exams.
The last evening was spent in a
serenade to Miss Keller by the
whole school.
Severals students who came to the
Normal to spend only few weeks
have later decided to stay another
year until finishing the course of
study.
Most Of the students who have
attended this school are earnest,
hard working people who rely
mostly or entirely upon their own
efforts for backing.
The good effect of the work of
our almost necessarily laborlng
faculty can hardly be overesti-
mated.
Such school is sure to prosper.

Editor Independent: If ever there
was time when the best effort for
the cause of the wage-earner should
be made, it is now. When I think
of the faithful who have stood for the
principles of right, since the green
back party was formed at Toledo, O.,
and all along the line till now. and
have stood fo- the right of the labor
ing class, and with the education that
they have received from the few men
that own the coal fields, they will see
that the public utilities belong to the
people and will so vote to secure them
and place them in the hands of the
people where our fathers placed them.
| have read with a great deal Of
interest the pros and cons in The In
dependent in regard to the negro
question. First, they were not to
blame for being here; they were born
here; consequently, are acclimated to
their climate. Now, the question is,
what we shall do with them? There
are those that would like to see them
amalgamated with our white families;
but they are distinct race from us
and should let them go by themselves.

liberal with the colored man? We
have territory enough. The educated
colored man could then exercise his
capacity in bringing his race to
higher civilization. OF course, many of
them will remain as Iabcrers in the
several states, but to those who have
no homes it would be a blessing and
it would dispose of the vexed ques-

only helped to make bad matter
worse.
My friend says Blanche X. Bruce,
once. a member of the United States
senate from Mississippi, was the peer
of any white man in it. His taste may
be good, but | do not admire his
judgment. He says the public schools
must be kept open TO them. Education
is the cure of all evils. Wonder where
my friend found that old proyerb?
Education is good thing when right
ly applied, but is Of little use to peo-
pie who have no practical knowledge
or common horse sense, and the ma
jority Of the negroes are deficient in
both these. Their former condition,
being in servitude, partially made
them SO; and they are partly so by
nature. 1t will take several genera
tions for them to make much Of an
Improvement on themselves.
We think the best way to get along
with the negro is 10 let him alone as
much as possible. In many respects
he seems to be unfortunate.

Insuring crops against loss by
hail is becoming more popular
every year. The United Mu->
tual Hail Insurance Company
organized in 1899 is the largest,
best and most successful hail
insurance company doing busi-
ness in the state. It pays all
losses promptly. Since its or
ganization it has written 9066
policies of insurance aggregat-
ing $5,310,000 of risks. 1t has
paid 1,949 loss claims amount
ing to $147,315.10. The insur-
ance has cost the policy holders
only one-half as much as old
line fire insurance companies
receive proportionate to the
amount of losses paid. No one
raising crops can afford to take
the risk of losing his crops by
hail when he can get this pro-
lection with thousands of the
best farmers of the state. Last
year the United Mutual carried
$l,74O,694 insurance and paid
$27,71o in losses. They paid in
losses more than four times as
much as the combined payments
of all other hail insurance com.
