NEGRo's EDUCATION IN SOUTH.
Prof Miller Declares He Needs Higher
Industrial Training.

Prof Kelly Miller, of the Howard
University, delivered an address
last Tuesday night before the
Bethel Literary Society on ''The
Drift of Southern Education
The attendance was large and
the remarks were freely discussed by
the members of the society after the
speaker had concluded
In speaking of the education of the
colored race in the South he said that
the South had concluded years ago that
the higher education of the colOred
man was a failure, and with eyes shut
to the facts, deaf to the advancement
of colored men and women, she was
still repeating that education was
failure. He said the North had taken
up the refrain and was joining with the
Southern people in its repetition. He
went on TO enume crate several profes-
sions in which colored men had risen
as proof that it was not a failure.
He would have a larger sum devoted
to the education of the Negro. If it
takes S25 per year to educate white
boy, with civilized predecessors, 1t
takes more than IS cents to educate d
colored boy IL South Carolina, a boy
with unciviliZed ancestors and bar
barrie environments" said he. While
ne approved of industrial education
| for the Negro, he saId that most of the
| So-called industrial education was far
| from being what it is claimed to be.
/ By industrial education he said South
| erners meant TO teach the Negro to es-
| innate the distance between two rows
of cotton and how to feed horse He
| would have the industrial education
| as it Is taught at Hampton and TuSke-
| gee.~ together with the higher educa-
| tiOn.

CATTLE-There was another neavy run
of cattle here today, and as other points
were quoted as much as a dime lower the
tendency on the part of packers was to
pound the market here also. The demand,
thou h was of liberal proportions, SO that
the break in prices was not very serious.
The beef steer market opened rather slow
and buyers were bidding 5q10c lower than
yesterdays general market. 1t was evil
dent, though, that there was a good de-
mand for the better grades, so that sales
men held on for better prices. and in a
good many cases they did not have to sell
much OF any lower than they did yesterday.
In other cases, though, they had to take
cattle. The commoner grades as a general
thing suffered the most. Trading was not
very active at any time. but still the bulk
OF the offerings was disposed of in fairly
good season.
The cow market did not show much
change from yesterday. Owing to the
weaker feeling on beef steers COW buyers
did not take hold with quite as much life,
but as a general thing the desirable grades
brought right close to steady prices. If
there was any weakness at all IL was on
the less desirable kinds.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all sold at
just about the same prices that were paid
yesterday.
good quality was again quite liberal. 50

though, were neglected the same as has
been the case for some time past. There
