A gentleman who has travelled great
deal in the North for the last several
months says that it is surprising to find
how intense is the criticism of Roosevelt
for attempting to force the negro into
political and social prominence, and that
his course is very roundly condemned
by Republicans no less than Democrats.
He thinks much of this is due to the
fact that Northern sentiment about the
negro is rapidly changing, the result of
personal observation by the increasing
tide of visitors to the South, and there
is no doubt it will continue to grow. Our
friend has rare opportunities to learn the
opinions of the most cultivated and in
fuential people in the North. Greenville

Precipitation was unevenly distri-

normal. The --eaviest fall occurred
during the first decade.
In the northern district the wealth

growth of grasses and meadows was
greatly stimulated. Farm work, how
ever, has been greatly retarded on

cussed, but nothing definitely set

feels that this pet scheme of his will

his idea that the societies remain in
dependent of each other, but study
with their other works, number of
subjects to be decided upon by the
various leaders, and in the grand song
festival render these songs as one
society. 1t is estimated that a thous-
and singers will appear together at
these concerts.
