&. Il. S. VS.. North Barre.

Saturday afternoon the high school foot
ball team met and defeated the North
Barre team. This is a victory Of which
the home team feels quite proud as it is
the first time the North Barre team has
been scored against this year. One week
previous they defeated the Whitcomb
High school eleven, 1870, and had played
the spaulding High school eleven to tie,
90. Although there was one accident,
the game was not nearly so rough as the
Bethel game and was free from objection
able features.
In the first half, the North Barre eleven,
after a series of rushes, carried the ball
across the goal line for touchdown. ; o
goal kicked. Score, so.
No further scoring was done in this
half, though the home eleven rallied and
prevented the Barre eleven from making
any long gains and held them once for
four downs. At one time II seemed as
though the II. II. s. team must score, as
Chedel had nearly a clear field and was
running well, but was seized with cramp
and had TO withdraw from the game.
Goodhart was substituted and after vary
ing fortunes the half closed.
In the second half, by series of line
plunges and long run around the right
end, Holman made touchdown. No goal
was kicked. Score, SO.
Once again the X. III. 5. team forced
their opponents down the field to their 25-
yard line and here Smith was hurt and
Ii yward was called from the side lines.
Very soon Goodhart, by good run and
clever dodging scored another touchdown.
Score 1915 in Randolph's favor. During
the remaining time the ball remained near
the middle of the field and time was called
wi b the home team victorious.
The men were lined up as follows;-

Week by week the columns grow OF the

honors. Those who work hardest show
the heaviest gains.
1t is apparent that some Of the candi-
dates are lying low holding back their
count so as to cause their competitors to

Coupons count 5; it takes 20 coupons to
equal yearly renewal; or 40 TO equal one

their eyes on those ranges will do well to
canvass their fields thoroughly, as well as

 AFRICAN NEGRO PROBLEM.
 But the American negro, With his democratic institutions and higher education. suDeradded to his racial passion, has developed political ann bition akin to, and synchronous with, the enthusiasm for navy building in Germany, for colonial expansion in France, for territory extension in Rus sia, and for imperial federation among ourselves, and this development finds expression in the pseudo-religious movement under consideration. For in the United States there is no opportuni- ty for successful race advancement for the negro except as part of the whole republic He cannot look for the at tainment of his object there; and Africa, the cradle of his race, is natur- ally the next land to which he turns his eyes. Africa for the Africans is the ideal, possibly, with the half purpose of returning as masters to the spot whence his forefathers were forcibly removed as slaves. The choice of an ecclesiasti- cal means was obviously prompted by a desire to escape British interference with the propaganda, for Ethiopianism is not only for Christianity; it is not a religion at all.

A VIEW OF TRAGEpY

There is, however, one form of crea- tive literature in which the principle of poetic justice cannot be applied. In the tragedy the object of the poet can only be attained by weaving a plot which ends in disaster, since in this form of literature it is not the alter mate sunshine and shower, but the thunderstorms of life which are ex- hibited. The essence of the tragic motive isc not a conflict between man and circumstances, but the terrible spectacle of a man neither better nor worse than his neighbor suddenly over Whelmed by undeserved and unex- plained disaster -undeserved. because the diaster exceeds the punishment which human justice would assign to his fault. and unexplained, because it is impossible to conect such sinister events with the belief that the universe is gov- erned by an all-wise and all-powerful deity.-W. Basil WorsfoM in the Corn- hill.

AN ANBcDoTE OF D1sRAHI,1 f.

On one occasion this habit of exag- gerated adulation led to so bold an at tempt by the fair recipient to turn it to her advantage that he was driven to save the situation in a way that was very far from being appreciated. The charmer, a young lady of advanced views finding the great man so ex- ceedingly profuse in his attentions, thought it an excellent opportunity for making him convert to her Utopian ideals, which were of the most daringly democratic order. After a long recita- ton of her propaganda, she wound up with a fervid appeal to the prime minis ter to immortalize himself by espousing panacea for renedying the wrongs of humanity! As she finished her impas- stoned harangue, with flushed cheeks and flashing eye, Disraeli who had been silently watching her with apparently the profoundest sympathy and admira- ton, suddenly dropped his eyeglass and softly murmured, "Oh, you darling!" If it had been at dinner" she after declared, land had had knife I would have stabbed him! Black woods.

union at the home of their forner mas ter here to-day.
 Never before in the history of Geor-: gia, and probably never before in the history of the south, was there just such a gathering as that at this old southern plantation.
 The idea of holding this reunion at the home of their former master, who has been dead for a number of years, was conceived by one of the negroes present, and when it was suggested to the other ex-slaves it was received with their heartiest aproval Only one of the negroes who was present at the re- union is resident of Palmetto, all the others coming from a distance and from different points of the state. The oldest member of the party, Uncle Edmund Menefee, who is 80 years old, came from near Hiram, Ga., in Cobb county, and walked the entire distance, about fifty miles, in order that he might see once more the old homestead and the. other slaves with whom he was as- sociated when young man.
 Several of the negroes who attended the reunions are residents of Atlanta and came down on the morning train, returning to the city in the evening.
 | The negroes who were present and who came from different parts of the state to attend the reunion were Uncle" Edmund Menefee of Cobb county, "Uncle'' Lev Menegee of 19 Wilson street: Atlanta; Willis Menefee Randall of 156 Magnolia street, Atlanta; Field ing Menefee and Stewart Menefee of Atlanta: Clark Menefee and Taylor Slaughter of Campbell county, Easter Menefee, Amanda Menefee and Gabrieel Menefee, of Cobb county and his mother, Aunt" Hennie Menefee, the old family cook, who estimates her age at 90 years; Jennie Menefee, John Menefee and Harvie Menefee.
 Thse are the only living ex-slaves of about 125 who belonged to the estates of Major Menefee, and who were given their freedom by him after the war had closed. AS was customary after being given their freedom, the negroes took | the name of their former master.
 Each of these negroes is well-to-do, many of them are property owners, Most oe them followed the business which was taught them as slaves, that l of tiling the soil. They say they are

THH FR1ENDLEss MOSQUITO.

Is the Insect Purveyor of Yellow
 4% Fever and Malaria?
 The hunted and friendless mosquito has so few things to recommend him, so little ground on which his existence can even be tolerated by the most devout believer in the wisdom of creation, that it is a positive relief to observe that the medical authorities are falling out now over the terrible charge of his being solely responsible for the spread of yell low fever. If these scientific theories are so soon to be done for, it is hard to see what they are ever begun for. Among the many finds that turn out to be not. ''so." the discovery that the mosquito is the purveyor par excellence of malaria and yellow fever will be one of the most celebrated in history; for al- ready it is being relegated to the scrap heap. It appears that in the Southern states, where people know something of their own Knowledge of both malaria and yellow fever, the opposition to the findings of the late Dr. Walter Reed and the other mem- bers of the United States army board is the strongest. A Cuban physician Dr. Ybarra, lately in New York, also dis sents from the position that to mos- quitoes is due the spread of yellow fever He points out that the American experi- ments were conducted in a house built especially for the purpose, without any circulation of air, and therefore, not under normal conditions. His clincher, however, lies in these circumstances: In the city of Havana alone mosquitoes have been killed to extirpate yellow fever; in no other city or town in Cuba has this measure been put into practice. Yet yellow fever has disappeared as completely from other cities and towns in Cuba as from Havana. The argu- ment of pr. Ybarra, as that of our Southern physicians, is that improved sanitary and hygienic measures are the
