Solves the Race Problem.

An old negro, the oldest ia the com
munity, made Il speech at Dahl, Bee
county on the l9'h, aud among other
things said: "Ise older than you is,
and | advise you to sLuu two classes of
people-the town nigger, VINO has q
bottle in one pocket and a deck of
cards in t'other. T'other is white folks
that drink outer the same bucket with
you, and low you to set at the same
table and eat with his family. Both
of them is enemies to the common mig
ger. Now, you rent land of good white
men that will treat you like we niggers
was always treated in slavery times
aud you will be all right and the race
question will be solved"
How different this sensible sermon
and easy solution OF a problem that
even the negro can solve, says the
Rockport Enterprise. II is more SEN
sible than all the twaddle dished out

Good Profits Seem Assured.

The earning power of the Marconi
stations at Wellsheet and Glace Bay
is a matter of easy computation. The
practical maximum speed thus far at
tanned by the Marconi system is thirty
words a minute. An average of eight
cen words per minute would be safe
basis for calculation. Tho cable charge
for transatlantic service is 25 cents a
word. If the charge be 10 cents a
word the daily earning capacity of one
station is over $4,000, or s925,000 per
year. This earning capacity may be
doubled by an increase of speed to the
maximum attained.

a quarter of a mile eastward of the

was only dazed for awhile by the
stroke, his clothes were torn asunder
all along his backbone from neck to
base of trunk, where the lightning BIZ
furcated and then following the mar
row along each OF his legs, finally
escaped through the heels OF his
boots. At ST. Michel again, near
Beaumont, as | passed during a thun-
derstorm, man travelling toward his
home in an adjoining field was struck
dead by a flash OF the electric fluid
from the clouds and remained sud-
denly motionless, erect and in the
same attitude as when overtaken by

I Homilies on the evils of speculation
hre as old as the practice of gambling
In futures, and evidently are regarded
as belonging to that species OF good
advice" which nobody ever thinks OF
accepting. Some men who speculat.
In stocks or grain or cotton are made
OF such stern stun that no matter how
unkind fortune may be to them they
are never driven to desperation. They
are philosophers as well as fighters,
and are willing to bide the time when
another turn of fortunes wheel may
restore to them what they lost in pre-
vious dalllance with the tickle jade"
Such men, however, are rare, remarks
the Baltimore Sun. Many men who
are ruined by speculation have neither
the means nor the courage to renew
the fight against ill-fortne, while
some are utterly crushed and find life
no longer worth living.
