Must Keep up With The Times,

Washington, July 8.-The Holly

numerous other cotton companies
composing the Mississippi Compress
Association, today filed with the
Inter State commerce commission a
petition to Intervene in the case of
the Planters' Compress Company vs.
the Cleveland, Cincinnati, CHICAGO

They claim that If the cylindrical

cally destroy or immensely impair the
large and valuable compresses and
ware houses for the compression and

4 Wandering Hat.

A felt hat blew off tourists head
last year as he was leaning out of a
railway train window in Sweden. OF
the man himself nothing further ia
known, but the felt hat has become
famous all over the north Of Europe.
An employee Of the line picked up
the bat where it lay, and, being an
honest man, he tried high and low
to find the owner. Finally, all local
efforts failing, he ticketed it and sent
it to the next station, to be claimed
by it's owner. No suoh person ap-
peared, and the hat WAS sent on from
station to station, an additional ticket
being stuck on each time it set out.
Thus it has run through the whole
of Sweden and Norway, has been at
Upsala and TroLdhjem, at Christiania
andGoteborg and Malmo, has been
sent on to Zealand and Finland and
is now being sont through the north
OF Germany, covered with labels, in
side and out. And if it is no longer
fit headgear it is at all events
remarkable monument Of northern
honesty and perseverance, " West

THE MULATTO PROBLEM.
That Is The Real Problem Of Tha Race
Question.
Charleston Post.

Charleston Post.
One Of the best authorities on ne.
groes and the negro problem, says
Harper's Weekley, is Mr.. Alfred II.
Stone, of Greenville, Miss. We have
read many deliverances of his about
the southern blacks and always with
editication. lie knows whereof he
speaks, and he speaks dispassionately,
kindly, wisely. In the current num-
Der of The Atlantic Monthly he dis
cusses "The Mulatto Factor in the
Race Problem" pointing out consid,
orations which, though obviously true
and important when one thinks Of
them, are apt to be overlooked unless
some ono ioes point them out. MIR.
Stone regrets that the last census
made no separate enumeration for
mulattoes, for he thinks it would be
of value to real students of our race
problem to know what proportion OF
the persons rated M negroes are
mixed blood. American social policy
has ruled that Il drop Of negro blood
in q mans veins makes Il negro.
Mulattoes, quadroons, octoroons-
all nre negroes; all their abilities,
aspirations, Writ ucs, SENSE and failings
are credited to the negroe race. An
able and good mulatto we think Of
az a credit to his race. His abilities
and achievements are proofs Of what
negroes may accomplish.
Folly! says MIR. Stone. The mul
alto isn't Il negro. His talent il
Caucasian; his aspirations are born
of white mans blood and white man's g
abilities; his meanness, when he ls
mean, is white man + mennness Al
most all the famous men of the
negro race" whom we hear about,
from Crispus Attucks down to Book
or Washington, we're mulnttoes.
The true negro, says Mr.. Stone, is Of
Il contented and happy disposition.
When free from white or mulatto in
hnence be Is docile, tractable and
nnambitious, with but few wants,
and those easily satisfied. He in
clines to idleness, and though prom"
to commit petty crimes, il not ma
licious, and rarely cherishes hatred.
lie cares nothing for the sacred
right of suilerage," and infinitely
prefers the freedom and privileges
of a car of his own ~ the restraint
of one that hn has to share with
white people. But the mulatto,
naturally enough, il quite different
creature. He aspires; he ch"fcs,
and chatting, no stirs up the negroes
over whom, through papers, pulpits,
and political associations, ho eXer-
cises tremendous influence. All
bnt an insignificant part of the aSi-
tntion over 'negIo disfranchisement,"
"negro cars "the negroes rights
the "lack of opportunity" the Gin
Justice Of the race distinctions"
comes from the mulatto or the white
politicians. The best mulattoes,
like Booker Washington and Dubois,
are great powers for good; lot OF
others are very active powers foi
mischief, so says Mr.. Stone, and
seemingly he is right about it. lie
offers no moral. He merely points
ont that the mulHtto il what he is

THE SINGING BULLET.
The Old Soldiers Say that there Is No
Danger In It.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
Don't be afraid of a bullet that
you've heard WHISTLE" said al old
soldier. "If it sings in your ear res,
assured that it will never harm you.
1t is fact, as any old soldier will
tell you, that you never hear the
bullet which hits you. 1t is a prob
lem of 'windage,' as the boys in the
army called it. In other words, the
bullet which you hear sing has al
ready sped past you and the bullet
which hits you has Kissed in the ear
of some other fellow IN passing be
fore it got to You. 1t is a simple
proposition after all. The singing
of the bullet is the atmosphere Vi
bration which is created and the re.
sistance which tho air offers to tho
progress Of the bullet. This cannot
be detected by the ear until the bul
let has crossed parallel line with
the ear. 1t may sail over your head
close to the ground, but if it passes
you ut all the ear will catch the
sound of it's flight. 70 the soldier
of many battles tho voice Of the bul
let ia music. He knows that he need
have no dread Of the bullet that
sings in his ears. 1t is the bullet
that he does not hear that must be
feared, and it ls the bullet which al
ways brings harm to him. No sol
dler ever heard the bullet which in
tlicted wound on him."
