Washington, just returned from q
short vacation In Europe, vas vel
coined home yesterday at q meeting
Of 8, 900 negroes here. He said the
opportunities for education and
labor for the negro here are much
better than the poorer classes have
on the other side.
"The poorer classes there" he con-
tinued, "save more money than the
n groes here, although they earn lees.
On the other hand, in point OF gen.
eral morality, l Think that our people
here compare favorably with the
lower classes OF Europe"
While abroad Washington took
up the study Of diaries and dairy
products in Normandy. He believes
the conditions there can be adapted
to Tuskegee with great success.

1t is all very we'll as an abstract
proposition to agree that the stand

higher every year, and to assert firm
faith in our fellow man, but, just the
same, there is seli.protection and
solid satisfaction in taking no ones
word, but assuring yourself that the

genuine.
In these days of imitation and sub

to initiate the shrewd gentleman

Ii you order a bottle OF Budwe:ser,
see that it is Budweiser.
The way to be sure that you are
getting the real article and not an

ing Missouri Fight For Property,
Declares Ii Demoralizes Benehelaries
and Their Hungry Lawyers and
Retainers.
Springfield, No., Oct. 17.-Iu his
decision of the celebrated Bunel LEGACY
case in the United States District
Court, Judge John F. Philips, OF
Kansas City, administered a scath.
ing rebuke to the contending heirs.
Henry Napoleon Bunel lived in
southwest Missouri. He was one Of
the heirs NJ a wealthy estate left by
his father, q Frenchman. Mary
FAIRIES Kee alleged that she was an
heir to the estate. Judge Philips up
held the validity Of a compromise
made between these two. In his
opinion, Judge Philips says:
The court cannot refrain from Civ
ing expression to the conviction,
deepened by the exhibitions Of prodi-
gality and depravity OF the contend
ing parties, that often no greater
misfortune can befall children than
great riches cast upon them by gifts
and inheritance.
"Neither OF these children, 80 their
testimony shows, submitted to the
labor Of acquiring an education.
They seem to have spurned the
honors and dignities that come from
labor.
1.-THE boy has been content to be a
mere parasite, to exist in idleness
and rot out In wantonness and riot;
while the girl, aspiring to a share in
the bounty OF trust, has grown up
with rowing fancy and unstable
habits, illiterate and Maynard, con-
temning parental authority and re-
spect, clipping when mere child and
marrying mere boy.
Sand, in this case, this condition
Of affairs is aggravated by It's de-
moralizing effect upon lawyers and
hungry retainers, who become so
largely interested In the spoils OF the
controversy as to unseemly thrust
their personality into the litigation"

BETTER For THE FARMER.

1880 bales of cotton at 8 cents
pound would distribute among
Cobb's farmers 1862 500. Twice
that number of bales at 6 cents q
pound would yield $4,000. So
there would be an actual differ
ence between a good crop with the
price it would bring and q half
crop with present prices, of $187 :
500, in favor of the good crop. But
taking into consideration the ex-
penses of saving the large crop, it
is doubtful if there would be as
much money remain in the hands
of the farmers as when the small
crop is considered. At any rate,
if this section receives from
abroad over one~half a million
dollars Tor the cotton crop and
has in addition plenty of corn and
feed of all kinds, with the usual
smokehouse supplies, there cannot
be such very hard times immedi-
ately ahead of us. But as 10cts is
now being paid makes it better.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

No one should become provoked
with the telephone girl. and no
one would, after a visit to the lit
tie den where she works for hours
IN highly nervous tension, all
swering the thousands of calls
that come from over the city. If
they become a little irritated at
times it is because Of the nerve
distracting occupation of separat-
ing these multitudinous sounds
that mingle in their receivers, and
because a nervous public does not
always show that patience or even
respect which they should. have.
Be gentle with the telephone
girl. Her highly strung nerves
are sometimes like flint, which,
when struck by steel, gives off
sparks of fire. The telephone girl
is terribly tried.
Did you ever stop to think why
girls are employed instead of
men? Well, men are given to
profanity you know, and if any
thing OH earth would provoke a
man to swear it would be to be
"bawled out" every minnie Of the
day by some one who does not
know how to use q telephone
Be gentle with the telephone
girl,
