A reunion OF the Grant Family Associa-
ton held In New York few days ago was
largely attended. One OF the speakers on
the occasion was Mrs. Cramer. younger
sister OF Gen. U. s. Grant. Her husband
was for several years United States minis
ter TO Denmark and afterwards to Switzer-
land In the course of some pleasant re-
marks Mrs cramer said:
Last "Wednesday received a sweet letter
from dear old lady living i'm Louisiana
So far as know she the first sweet
heart OF my oldest brother. Away back in
my early childhood l remember once see
ing her young wife and mother in the
home or her parents in Georgetown, O. /
have also dim recollection of hearing her
name coupled with that OF my brother, and
that FEELING stronger than friendship had
existed between them. But he went TO
West Point and later TO Mexico and their
lives drffted apart Years ago she wrote
me that they met once In the South during
the civil war and that he treated her with
special courtesy.
Men seldom marry their first sweethearts.
II young Grant had married this Ohio girl
It might have changed the course of his
life and Of hr tory. for his marriage to the

Resolved, That all county candidates be
required to hoe ten rounds of 100 yards
each; and. be IL further
Resolved, That state candidates who
canvass in buggies be given double dose
of work in the manner above outlined
The farming business is good, and the
farmers can't afford TO knock off work and
hear political speeches unless they are paid
for it. Economically the proposition is for
time charge. Morally, ii provides touch
stone of the love of the candidate for the
farmer. Practically IL will keep the can
didates from bothering the farmers in the
daytime. How many politicians In Lee
county anywhere else can hoe satisfac-
torily from SEQ to 5000 yards?
Still, candidates will do or try to do any
task. If the example of Lee county is fol-
lowed, there will be a good many lame
backs and blistered hands: possibly few
cases of sunstruck candidates. A race OF
really ':horny-handed' politicians will arise.

'Yes, 1t will soon be the season for bikes
again. said the farmer as he backed up to
the stove in a Michigan-avenue grocery,
after selling six bags of potatoes. "but
there won't be nobody around my farm to
go cantering about"
Haven't you any sons who rider" asked
the grocer.
mo, not now. 1 had one last year, but
he was buried in September His name was
Bill, and he'd rather ride a bike than eat
dinner
did some accident happen him?'
We'll, rathyer. The railroad crosses the
road a quarter OF a mile below my house.
and Bill used to ride that way and take
chances. 1t wasn't no good talkin' to him.
He had the bighead and knew it all. He
crossed the tracks twenty different times
ahead of trains with only a few feet to
spare, and come home to brag about it,
But he got caught at iast?' Queried the
grocer, after filling an order for sugar.
He did. One evening he started out,
and few minutes after he had gone 1
heard great footing at the crossing and
went down to see what the matter was.
AS | reached the tracks an engine came
backing up and the engineer called out:
Say. old man, be you lookin' fur any,

"Yes, sir" replied the farmer. Eyes. We

Point of View of the Negro Himself


The Worlds Work.
In most of the discussion of the race
problem little Is said of the negro's own
point of view. He is the chief figure of il
all. He is at once the innocent cause of il
and the chief factor in its solution.
There has not been time enough nor work
enough nor money enough nor opportunity
for great masses of them to be built ,lp to
responsible citizenship. but the leaders of
the race-the real leaders-show q steady
growth in thrift. in responsibility and good
citizenship. A study of the result OF the
work done at any of the great schools
where they are properly trained will give
the most Respondent man high hope In
fact, the record of the best men and women
who have gone~out from Hampton and
Tuskegee and other such training places
make one OF the most remarkable chapters
in human progress. The negro conferences
that are held at Tuskegee show year after
year growth OF character and of economic
efficiency among large masses Of them:
and the reports of the Negro Business
Mems League and other such bodies tell OF
remarkable progress.
The negro's children. too. will be wiser
than he is; and. after all. this whole prob
lem Is not one that We who are now living
next generation in better shape than we
found it-that is all We can hope TO do. And
no man who knows Southern life can for
moment doubt that IL is now I'm very much
better shape than II was twenty years ago
So much better Is II that the aspects Ii now
presents not discourage to those who
know what has been done.

There can be no doubt that the members
OF the Senate considered all the objections
to the bill increasing the salaries of the
judges In several of the larger counties,
and by their vote declared that the with
holding OF an increase from the circuit
judge in Vanderburg county does not af-
feet the general merits of the bill. 1t is
the opinion of several lawyers that failure
to increase one salary does not affect the
constitutionality Of the BILL IL should not.
The judges In this county. because of the
work they are Obliged to do, are entitled to
the increase which the bill gives There

One of the sweetest sights in this world
of joy is the candidate patronizing agri-
culture. The candidate loves everybody that

happiest when he is among the farmers.

nate enough to live in a city He likes to
'.get down to mother earth;" to look into

pensable of all our noble army of freemen.
