comfted by mere handful Of ruff
fans in the village of Indianola.
''The President has sought tc
deal with at least doubtful and
improved violation Of law by q
! plain and palpable violation of an
other.
II confess that | am one of those
who have looked with apprehen-
sion upon the enormous and ag-
gressive power of the executive in
this country. But if we may take
the Presidents confession in this
Indianola business as the measure
of the power of the executive and
the dignity of the Federal Govern
ment; if we may excuse the Presi-
dent Of the United States for VIC
lating an act of Congress on the
plea that the mayor of a country
village will not assure him of effect

at Washington is to be pitied and
despised for its weakness and i'm
becility rather than dreaded for it's
power.
GOVERNMENT VS.. INDIANOLA.
''The President has no discretion
in the matter of maintaining post
office at Indianola. What excuse
or defense can be made for this
action? The only possible excuse
is that of overwhelming physical
force, or in other words, a success
ful rebellion against the authority
of the United States. Except the
plea which the Senator from Wis
consin and you confess that the
Government of the United States,
in the efforts to execute its law,
has encountered a resistance with
which it cannot cope, and that in
vincible resistance before which
the great Government of the United
States recoils beaten and discom-
fited is admitted to be mere
handful of men in a single village,
in a single county, of single state
of this Union; this great world
power is brought to shame and
dishonor by bakers dozen of un-
armed Mississippians who never
did anything worse than whittle
box tops at a country store.
''You gentlemen sit apart from
the race problem and sneeringly
say, what strange people these
Southerners are They are the
same kind of people that you would
be under like circumstances. They |
are the purest- blooded Americans
Of this country. Nearly every
Southern man is descended from q
Colonial ancestor. They are the
sons of the sires who conquered
The wilderness and laid strong and
1eep the foundations of American
liberty. They are not cruel they
ire not bigoted.
NEGRO A CURSE TO THE UNION.
'sThey do not hate the negro,
out earnestly and sincerely they
wish him we'll; but they have this
characteristic, which is in the
blood Of their race, in whosoever's
reins it may run they will not
Iivide sovereignty or domain with
IN inferior race. Antagonize this
prejudice if you will call it SO, and
he end is strife and bitterness,
late and conflict. For the present
he best thing you can do with the
ace problem in the South is tol
void it, to leave it alone in the
.eeping of the Southern people.

races SO deeply and radically diff

| do not believe that the white

NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM.
Il just say frankly that | have
heard no suggestion for solution
of the race problem that seemed to
be either wise or feasible. The
one solution upon which greatest
stress is laid is education. | can
not help thinking thatnearly every
thing that is said along this line is
q mere darkening Of counsel by
words without knowledge. 1t
seems that we have tried not to
look at this question as it is. 1t
is not a question of education or of
ignorance-it is a race question.
II saw some time ago a state
ment in a newspaper that the av-
erage Southerner imagined that he
had stated the whole case when he
asked his Northern critic if he
would be willing for his sister to
marry negro. AS foolish and
irrelevant as this may appear, it
epitomizes the whole question. 1t
is true that no we'll bred New Eng
lander would be willing to mingle
the blood of his family with that
of negro, however worthy as an
individual he might be; and when
it is understood that no amount of
moral or mental culture can make
possible social equality and inter
marriage between members of the
two races, we must recognize that
there is an invidious and insupera
BILE bar between them.
eff it should be the effect of ed
ncation to make the negro chafe
under the white mans assertion of
if it should make him
aspire to condition of perfect
in which his race and
color would be no longer regarded
rs a badge of inferiority-then ed
lcation would but intensity feel
ngs of antagonism and SOW the
leeds of hate and discord.
WHAT SOCIAL EQUALITY MEANS.
E'And let it be said, Mr.. Pres
dent, that social equality means
ntermarriage.
''There are those who believe
hat this problem will be solved

will disappear when the color line

Excellent Pasturage.

Orchard grass grows splendidly on
all clay lands having fair amount OF
soil but on account of the fact that it
grows in clumpS it should be planted
with bluegrass, clover (red and white),
and hairy vetch may be sown Oh the
same land or on Bermuda sod for Win
ter pasture. Among the other winter
growers are crimson clover, turf oats,
rye and burr clover. The latter makes 4
most excellent pasture for late winter
and early spring if sown OH any culti-
waited land when the crop is laid by.
1t grows splendidly from February till
May. when it makes seed and dies
down. After this the land may be
plowed and planted in late corn or cot
ton. and the seed will come up the
following winter. Johnson grass keeps
many Il farmer awake nights when
he finds it has gotten foothold OH his
farm, and yet it is one Of the best
hay producers for the South. 1t has

men in the prairies Of Mississippi and
Alabama and is steadily gaining
ground in many portions Of Tennessee.

In travelling over the South have
seen many vineyards that have become
in a measure. improbable. Some OF
them are old, neglected and too far
gone to be worthy Of treatment. Such
vineyards are better grubbed up and
burned and the land put to other use
But others are not very Old and merely

proper treatment, made profitable. One
Of the most common causes Of the lack
of productiveness is lack Of good till

Fashions change in canes, as they
do in everything else" said manu-
facturer who knows all about the
fashionable trade. Last year cur Gus
toners were calling for rough wood in
its natural state. without any orna-
mentation. They wanted canes made
almost as thin and as light as whan-
gees. So many cheap limitations had
been made of silver-mounted smooth
wood canes that men Of fashion would
not look at them. This year we are
returning to silver mounts, but in de-

Of rough wood still hold favor with
the men. 1t is no longer fashionable
to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out
at sight frcm a bunch of others at
his club or elsewhere. Some men will
have the crooked handle so that they
cen hang their umbrellas en- hook

of prepared food for the baby OAK;
enough TO last until the thrifty little
plant is developed enough to forage
for itself. All towering plants have
cotyledons; those whose leaves have
veins radiating from the mid-rib. and
whose stems are woody. or at least
not hollow. have two cotyledons, most
Of which are of Il different shape from

instead of turning yellow and drying
up. as in most cases, they change their
shape and become regularly formed
leaves.
All plants having hollow stems and
the leaf-veins running parallel. have
but one cotylcdon. The grains, grasses,
reeds and lilies are of this class: while
pine trees and trees of their class have
from three 20 twelve seed-leaves set in
circle.
In the corn we have another style Of
termination. The lover portion Of the
seed is soft and fOury. and has 4
sweetish taste; the upper part is hard
and flint-iike. AS the corn softens and
begins to germinate YOU can see the
embryo, or germ. lying against the
prepared food which makes up the
larger part OF the seed.
The young growth has but one thick
cotyledon, and two narrow leaves
twisted together inside this seed-leaf,
which has wrapped itself about them.
When the outside cover OF the seed is
finally broken the first leaf springs up
and. unfolding. sends up two others,
which grow fast. while the first does
not expand any more, but remains as Il
sheath and support for further growth.

To Prevent the Black 10. of the Grape.

The black rot can be effectively con-

attention. The following is 4 sam-
mary of the treatment 10 be recon-
meIded:
|. Gather Up and dec.roy all old
leaves. rotten grapes and other trash
in the vineyard. and cultivate the
ground so as to cover such material
as cannot otherwise he disposed OF.
=. Keep the vines in as healthy. Wig
orous condition as possible by the use
of proper cultivation and fertilizers.
>. Spray thoroughly at least six
times during the season. First use
copper sulphate. six pounds Of copper
sulphate to barrel of wafer applied to
parts and vines before the leaves ap-
pear. Second. use Bordeaux mixture
ave pounds Of copper sulphate, five
pounds of lime, fifty gallons of water)
after the leaves and fruit buds appear,
but before the flowers open. Third.
just after blossoming. when the fruit IS
about ten days old. The other spray
ings may follow at intervals of ten
days. Increase the strength of the
Bordeaux mixture in hot, mugSy
weather by the addition Of little more
copper sulphate and lime.
t. Be careful to make the Bordeaux
mixture properly and use fine nozzle
in spraying.
). In so far as possible pick Off and
destroy the diseased leaves and berries
that you may notice.

vineyard needs the mcSt care. Give
it thorough treatment and stamp ont

Roo<-Sreakinq Crows.

For a long time the Public Works
Department in Victoria, B. c. had
been puzzled to account for the con.
tiued leakage in the roof OF the drill
shed. an imposing building with a
slate roof and so!id-looking towers IN
front. In spite of frequent repairs,
states would persist in failing down.
A thorough investigation showed that
the trouble was caused by crows, who
swarm On the beach at COW tide ana
dig for clans. The birds found OUT
that a clam dropped ON the rocf o.
the shed would break nicely, leaving
the contents in safe and convenient

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases. I
America is the land OF nervous women
The great majority OF nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number OF female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
OF recovery. Female trouble is SO common,
Sc prevalent, that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not un-
dertsand that It is catarrh which is the
source OF their illness.
In female complaint ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but Gu
tarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
