The First Wife Of Moses.

The News and Courier publishes
the following:
To the Editor of The News and
Courier According to recent
dispatch published in your paper
Senator Burton announced in one of
his speeches that the Egyptians were
negroes and that Moses married a
negro, and | notice in your issue of
to-day an article from the Chicago
Tribune, which questions the cor
rectness of either of these state
ments. AS to the first, any one who
has read anything at all knows that
it is not true.
But as to the statement that Moses
married negro, there is at least
some ground for argument. The
Tribune seems to think that Mr..
Burton refers to Zippora, (the daugh.
ter of Jethro or Reubel, the Mid
ianitish priest,) whom Moses mar
ried while he was refugee in "the
land of Midian," and is no doubt
correct in saying that she was not a
negress.
Midianites were descendants of
Abraham, and consequently were
of the same blood as Moses.
But another wife is mentioned in
the Bible. Was this other wife a
negress?
Josephus, the Jewish historian,
tells us that, while Moses was living
at the Egyptian court as one of the
royal family, the Philippians made
an attack upon Southern Egypt, and
overran large portion of the coun.
try. Moses was thereupon put in
command of the Egyptian army, and
after brilliant campaign, which
he drove the enemy out of jpt,
marched into Ethiopia and laid seigs
to their capital city. 1t was while
conducting this seige (according to
Josephus) that Moses made the ac-
quaintance of the daughter of the
Ethiopian king and married her on
condition that the city should be
surrendered to him.
Some writer's contend that this
story is mere myth, appearing only
in the "Antiquities" of Josephus.
But we find corroboration of it in
the Bible, in Numbers, 12-1, where it
is said: "And Miriam and Aaron
spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had mar
ried; for he had married an Ethio-
plan woman"
Evidently this passage does not
refer to Zippora, for she was not an
Ethiopian, and Josephus says, too,
that the name of the Ethiopian wo-
man was Tharbis. What became of
her nowhere appears. That her
marriage to Moses was considered
disgraceful to him is shown by the
| fact that his brother and sister both
/ "spake against" him, reproached
him for it, even when he was at the
height of power.
The question then is: What was
this Ethiopian woman, whom Moses
ought not TO have married, but did
marry2 Was he negress or not
My own opinion is that she was not
a negress, for the reason that the
ruling class in Ethiopia, in the time
of Moses, according to all accounts
were not negroes, but race rather
of the same general type as the
Moors-brown in color, but not BLACK
and of far higher type than the
negro, who was always slave wher
brought in contact with other races
/ should like, however, to heal
from the Tribune as to this frs
wife of Moses.

manufactured here the 82 cents il
left in the South to be divided
among our people.
The speaker gave an impressive
illustration of the beneficial effects
of the establishment of cotton
mill, by showing the condition of 9
town before and after the erection oi
a cotton mill. Dilapidated stores and
dwellings were improved, broken
down fences repaired, banks estab-
lished, new homes built, etc. While
the town was greatly improved the
country around was likewise greatly
benefited in that produce sold at
better prices.
Instead of 100000 to be distribu-
ted in this community from the cot
ton crop grown in that section at
cents, if the cotton is made into
cloth at 25 cents per pound there will
be $200,000 to be distributed.
The taxable property has been in
creased by $175,OOO. In time this
will bring about better roads, and
better school facilities, better
churches.
All commercial interests of sec
tion are built up by cotton mills.
The longera community persists
in selling its products in raw mate
rials and paying somebody else a
handsome profit for manufacturing,
the poorer will it become, while the
manufacturer becomes wealtbier.
Since the Piedmontsection of Vlr-
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia be-
gan manufacturing one product alone
the Southern Railway has been
forced to double its tracks part of
the way between Washington and
Atlanta, and will soon have to
double the entire line
The manufacturing establishments
create a strong home market for
eggs, butter and truck of all kinds.
Thus the cash annual income of the
farmer is increased by 25 to SO per
cent.
Every one should encourage in
dustries that utilize his raw material.
The country needs diversity of in
dustries-diversified agriculture, di-
versified manufactures. Small in
dustries often do as much for a sec
tion of country as a few big plants
New England is supported largely
by small industries. Leaving out
the cotton industry New England
still makes more money than the
South.

Ii there's one thing we all must hate
That thing is surely SANDER.
These libeis on the good and great
Unto base minds must pander.
And that is why it makes us mad
We loathe, abhor, and fear it;
But, be the SANDER ne'er so bad,
We somehow like to hear it.
The slandcrer we all despise;
Contempt is still his portion.
We count it nothing more than wise
To hear his tales with caution.
That they are false we know full well,
That malice he's displaying;
Brt if he's bound those ia les to tell,
Why not hear what he's saying?
It's really hard to comprehend
How people can be made so.
And yet attentive ears VIC lend,
Most of us-I'm afraid so.

They all deserve beating
Dut then their stories have charm
And some are worth repeating.
