dysentery and enteric fever among the
British forces during the South Afri-

cussing the crime of white Gaping,
said II cannot understand the foolish
hostility to the negro. He has been
eliminated by our constitution and
laws from all political control. He
asks no social recognition; he only
asks the poor privilege of working for
his daily bread We, of the white
race, have all the offices of power and
government, and the negro is simply
the creature of our mercy. 1t strikes
me that for US to Cypress, when we

might lift up, is unmanly, and un-

know that it would be necessary for
you to visit the voters of Rankin, as
everybody knows you, as you served
them as supervisor and served them
we'll; you served them as senator and
served them we'll. I believe the peo-
pie want you in the legislature; the
people want business men who have
made success at home; they all
know how you stand and that you
have raised large family and edu-
Gated them and sent them out into
the world and you are now we'll
fixed at homo.
Now, Alex don't go back on your
friends, just say that you will serve
them. You will not lose much time
at home and you are SO situated in
the world as Ito its goods you can
afford to lose little time to serve the

A NECESSITY.

A newspaper is just about as neces-
sary to the growth of town as a
bank, a store, a factory or any other
enterprise, as the town without the
newspaper seldom gets the others, and
in the naturals course of events it
usually comes ahead of them all says
the Lowell News Letter. The news
paper is usually fist, and then turns
in and helps to bring in the banks
and other improvements. Therefore
the newspaper is deserving of patron
age and loyal support as the other
concerns, but in the average town 1t
does not receive it. A printing office
is always under a heavy expense. and
the better the paper issued the heavier
the expense, and the better must be
the support if the paper proves a sue
coss. There Fare those WHO do not
take the paper who should do so, and
they are the ones that 'skick' the
loudest because it is not as large and
neWsy as the large city papers. Inere
are those too, who should not only be-
come subscribers to the paper, but who
should advertise their business in it's
columns. From the advertisement of
one firm, which brings large num-
Der of people to town, every merchant
receives some benefit. The merchant
who allows the other fellow to do the
advertising and calling in the trade is
taking advantage of another's capital
as we'll as enterprise. 1t is an imposi-
tion on the merchants who adver tise
just as truly as it would be to expect
them to furnish any part of the CAPT
tai on which the man who does not
advertise does business.
