should have been protected. The Cover nor of the State should have had the re- sponsibility put on him of furnishing that protection. Mob law is abhorrent; 1t can- not be tolerated. and the representative Southerner as strongly opposes such vio- lenne as does the best element in New England.
 But the President's action in closing the office without ascertaining whether the State authorities would guarantee protection to the negro oficial, his re- fusIng to accept the resignation of Mrs. Cox and insisting that the people should take mail from her or get none at all. does not do credit to the office of Presi- dent of the United States.
 we realize that in no other section of the country would such a case have been handled In this way. We feel that nowhere in the country are the views and pretudices of the overwhelming business interests 90 disregarded as in the South We know such action engenders III feeI- ing between the races in the South. and so retards the progress of the negro. for he can only be lifted by the friendly ala of his white neighbors.
 '.To force him into politics whsn he wishes to retire. to again thrust him into a position of antagonism, as was done by the carpet-baggers thirty-five years ago, is the most unlzind action that can be taken by a friend Of the negro"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS MAKING ENEMIES FOR THE
 NEGRO. So Says Governor D. c. Heyward of South Carolina-His Course in Making Southern Appoint ments Serves to Kindle
 Bitter Feeling.

Columbia (S. C.) Special.
 Governor D. c. Hayward gave his views on the Presidents Southern policy. as indicated in the appointment of Dr. Will liam D. Crum as Collector of the port of Charleston against the protests of the people of Charleston. Mir. Hayward Is a conservative Southern business man. He employs many negroes. many on his plan tations being the descendants of his fath- CTS and his grandfather's slaves. He said:
 T think President Roosevelt has made a mistake that will shake the faith of many people North and South. in his wis dom and judgment. Misguided, and view ing the situation from but one side, he has done much to disturb that good feel ing and faith in justice that President Mckinley caused to spring in Southern hearts. Was not the Southern policy of the martyred President good enough to continue?
 MT. Roosevelt thinks we are preju- diced against the negro, and to cure us he adopts the expedlent of making him more obnoxious. To heal antagonism be- tween men, parties or races, he would in- crease the irritation. To encourage the negro to attain scholarship and wealth he would raise him to responsible places above the whites-the whites of the South who have in their poverty taxed them- selves to give the negro some education. who. other things being equal, give em- ployment to the negro in preference to the whites.
 ''The white people of South Carolina are today educating more negroes than white children in the common schools. The negroes are cared for in alms-houses, hospitals and asylums, and in all this State not one who is willing to work Is out of employment None dies from want Every opportunity for material, moral and intellectual advancement that the negro has had has been given him by the whites of the South.
 / I've of the South do not hate negroes. We have as a polite, infinitely hndlier feeling for negroes among us than Is en- tertained by the whites in the Northern and Western States for the negro who lives among them. But we are opposed. strenuously opposed. to our wards, but one generation removed from bondage, and with the masses little, if at all, fm- proved in morals, being given the same rating with us in the national govern ment's books.
 ''Because one negro or ten negroes in this State may have the capacity to fill certain offices of the government we ean- not realize that the President has the moral right to choose one of those ne- groes as our business representative; to nut him in an office the revenue of which are derived entirely from the whites; to appoint him over the protests of i've sixths of the qualified voters of the State and the solid delegation in Congress.

wilcox's Crime.

Thl crime of which James F. Wilcox was found guilty is alleged to have been committed at Elizabeth City, N. C., De- cemper 20. 1901. He had called at the hone of Ella Cropsey. and when leaving at Ii o'clock at night called the girl outinto the hall This was the last seen of fer alive. Her body was found in the rivF three hundred yards from her home thiity-seven days later and slight brlise was found on her head, which led to he theory advanced by the State that she had been struck with blunt instru- meht and thrown into the stream. The evidence against Wilcox was circumstan- cid. He was convicted of murder in the first degre' at the first hearing last March in Elizabeth City, but on account of a demonstration in the court during the trial a new trial was granted and the csse moved to an adjoining county.

HANDY WHEN YOU GO CAMPING.

The average American boy often
feels the desire to get into the wild.
Sometimes he is able to fulfill the de-
sire. When he is, he should be con-
graduated, for the life of the we'll
regulated camps is Joy unknown to
the cooped-up city man.
The tent Is the important feature,
and a good one is absolutely neces-
sary. Otherwise the camper will be
subject to unexpected duckings, Oh
may wake up to find himself without
cover in a windStorm.
The camp fire is another important
consideration. Several styles are used,
depending on the locality. A good fire
Mace is built of stones, piled one on
ton of the other in circular shape. The
spaces between the stones furnish
draft. The stones retain heat and the
fire will give greater heat and burn
longer than in the open bonfire. 10
hang kettles, uprlghts and crosspieces'
as shown, will be found useful.
A simple table can be made from
fence boards or from the cover of a
packing box, as shown.
Cots suitable for all requirements
are made by driving crotched sticks
into the ground and placing the
stretcher-made cot "a piece OF canvas
sewed on two poles) into the crotches.
Another simple cot is shown in the IL

The Curse of Mar.

Lord Garioch's engagement reminds
me of that most remarkable tradition,
"The curse of the house of Mar"
which whatever its origin undoubted-
ly dates back several centuries. 1t
predicted that the proud house of
Mar" should become very great and
then should be brought very low, so
low that horses should be stabbed in
old Mar Castle, the castle itself be-
come a ruin, and a tree should grow
on the highest part. All these pre-
dictions have been fulfilled even to
the fact that a young spaling sprout-
ed from the turret of the ruined keep.
The prophecy concludes with the pre-,
diction that the family shall regain
somewhat of its ancient state, but
its honors shall be doubled and the
line shall be broken. The first two
parts were fulfilled in the last reign,
when the family were allowed to
shake off the faint of their Jacobite
treason and return to ccc-t and when
in order to settle the Mar succession
dispute a second earldom of Mar was
created, so that there are now two.
With regard to the last part time
will show, but there seems to be no
immediae prospect of its fulflment
as yet.-London Taller.
