FELL THROUGH.
Daily States.

Another effort to effect q COM
bine of the rice millers of Louisi-
ana fell through at Lake Charles
yesterday. There we're represen-
tatives of the rice Industry from
Louisiana and Texas at the mee-
ting when the proposition was ia
ken up. 1t was a meeting of the
Louisiana and Taxes Rice Millers
and Distributors Association.
George W. Mills. of Chicago, re-
presenting capitalists of that city,
submitted the plan for combina-
ton. After a full discussion it
was unanimously laid over.
The proposition is to place the
affairs of the association in the
hands of a new organization which
shall have q president and other
officers and board of directors.
A governing committee of three
should be elected from among
these. The committee should have
charge of the grading, the distri-
button, regulation of policy of the
millers and fix the price at which
the miilers should sell to whole
salers and the price at which
wholesalers shall she'll to retailers.
The plan was to establish in four
teen cities of the country depots
from which the product of the
combine would be distributed,
each city to have allotted to it a
certain territory in which none
other should place rice.

On Negro Education.


Harlequin.
There is a great deal of rot prin-
ted against Carnegie's donation OF
$500, 900 for the education OF the
darby. All the argument against
it is stupid. The world was never
worse off yet for the spread OF
education and ENLIGHTENMENT. 1t
is no argument to urge, as does
The Philadelphia Ledger, that
education is producing among the
race superabundance of the shy
ster, the quack and the general
crook who imposes on the igno-
rance of the race. The remedy is
not to seek to avoid creating the
crook by keeping the race in igno-
rance, but to render the race less
easy prey to the crook by educa-
ting the race. To confOund the
provisions and turpitude OF nature
with the results Of education is as
stupid as to believe that genius is
the fruit of education. BY all
means let the South stand for the
education of the race. Of all the
white race it has least reason to
be lying hypocrite on the sub
ject. In slavery times the educa-
ted slave was tremendously more
valuable than the ignorant one and
the very finest types of the race
to-day exist in those servants who
could read and dressed milady's
hair or were the young idle gen.
tleman's "body" servants. Very
fine exponents of the race are 10
be found in this type and not alone
are they bookishly educated, but
they can teach manners to many a
so-called gentleman of modern
white civilization. Education has
never hurt one yet, except in the
sense that it makes the natural
criminal more dangerous. Let
us be honest.

The Deaf Made To Hear.
Timcs-Democrat.

In q recent issue of Current
Literature" is printed an account
of all invention which, it is said,
enables the deaf to hear. The in
strument used is named "the
acoustacon," an its inventor is Mr..
Miller Hutchinson of Mobile, Ala,
graduate of Spring Hill College
and an electrical engineer.
Mr.. Hutchinson is now only twen-
ty-five years of age. Since his
boyhood he has had in mind the
inventing of an instrument which
would enable the deaf to hear, his
sympathy having been especially
stirred by reason of the fact that
one of his boyhood playmates was
afflicted with deafness. The idea
that possessed his mind when he
was a schoolboy chung to him
when he entered college, and has
absorbed his attention since he
was graduated from Spring Hill.
He believed that by combining
the principle of the telephone re-
ceiver with that of the microphone,
the intensified sound of the hu-
man voice could be forced through
the outer and middle ear into the
liquid mass of the inner ear and
thereby reach the auditory nerves.
He persevered in bis work, and
has at length perfected an instru-
ment which, tits claimed, enables
all deal persons, whose auditory
nerves are not paralyzed, to hear
with perfect distinctness.
Mr.. Hutchison is now visiting
in New Orleans, and, at the ear
nest request of friends, he has con-
sented to exhibit his invention and
TO demonstrate the success of his
experiments in public in this city.
This exhibition will be held at the
Alumni Hall of the Jesuits' Col
lege at $50 o'clock tonight. The
public is permitted and invited to
attend. Victims of deafness, who
may be present, will test the effec-
tiveness of the acoustacon. The
results of the experiment will. be
awaited with keen interest.
If it be true, as it is claimed,
that MIR. Hutchinson has invented
an instrument which practically en-
ables the deaf to hear, it is not too
much to say that this young South
erner has done great lasting SER
vice for his fellow-men. He will
have opened up new and delecta-
BILE world to thousand of persons
whose lives have been lonely, sad
and cherries. 1t is earnestly
hoped that this young Albanian
has accomplished the high pur.
pose upon which his attention has
been concentrated.

Educated Negro Criminals.
Daily States.


ern millionaires, seem to be more
concerned about the education OF
the negroes in the South than of
the youth of their own race, many
of whom are unable to secure an
education because nearly one-half
of the taxes paid by the white peo-
pie of the Southern States are ex-
pended for the support of public
schools for negroes. These gener-
Gus contributions of the Northern
millionaires to negro universities
is arousing spirit of resentment
in the South, which come day may
result in Mr.. Carnegie and other
millionaire philanthropists and me-
grophilists having an opportunity
to educate all the blacks in the
South at their own expense. This
would lift a great burden from the
shoulders of the white people of
the Southern states, who would
then be able to spend the money
they raise by taxing themselves in
the education of their own chill
dren.
A movement has already been
started in Mississippi to apportion
the school fund according to the
amount of taxes paid by the whites
and the negroes, and if the move
ment is successful as it promises
to be, having been an issue in the
present gubernatorial campaign, it
will spread to other Southern
states and thousands of negro
schools will be closed and just
that many more opened for the
education of white children sadly
in need of it. After all, it does
not appear that the negro is bene-
flied by the higher education, but
on the contrary there are many
instances to show that it tends
to develop his vicious and rascally
instincts. 1t was only a few days
ago that a negro lawyer named
Miller, who is a graduate of Yale
University, was sentenced in Phi.
ladelphia to the penitentiary fol
forgery. Before he left New Ha-
ven, however, he had been couvic-
ted of embezzlement and served
several months in Jail. In com.
menting on the conviction of the
negro Miller the Philadelphia
Ledger says:
ut is a contention of the oppo.
nents of higher education for the
race that the negro character a,
this stage of its development will
not bear educating, its moral in.
stincts being too weak, and that to
educate negroes is to turn out &C.
complished rascals. 1t cannot be
denied that there is too much JUS
LITIGATION for this charge. There
are too many colored preachers oil
easy morals; colored lawyers liv.
ing by the worst methods of the
shyster; colored doctors practicine
upon the ignorance of their race
editors aud professional politicians
dragging their fellows down with
talents that should have been EN-.
ployed in elevating them"
The most impudent, insolent and
vicious class of negroes that the
South has to contend with are
those who have enjoyed the bene.
fits of the public school spstem al
the expense of the white people,
1t has been well said of them that
they turn" learning into crime
and literature into lust"
