a NEGRO's VIEW OF IT.
He Says That the Solution of the
Race Problem Lies in the Negro
Ownership of Land.

Chicago, March 3o.-"The solution
of the negro problem lies with the ne
gro himself. 1t can be brought about
by his acquiring land, saving money
and educating his sons. There is
nothing in the cry about social equali-
ty. The negro does rot want it and
does not expect it,.
This statement was made last night
at Bethel Church by j. J. Smallwocd,
president Of the Temperance, Indus
trial and Collegiate Institute, a negro
institution at Claremeont, Va. CAT
the close Of the civil war;" Prof.
Smallwood said, the negro had moth
ing. Since then he has accumulated
$500, 600, 900 worth of property. He
has built up 96 institutions of learn
ing and the race has furnished 27,ooo
school teachers. He has turned his
attention to buying land and this wiz
eventually result in the solution Of the
race problem.

May Move Its Mills South.

Manchester, N. H., March 2S.-It-
is understood that the American Cot.
ton Duck Company, which owns the
Stark Mills, desires to withdraw from
this city.
Agent Written says that it is the.
undoubted intention of the manage
ment of the company to remove the local
mills to Alabama but it is hopeful of
persuading the management to con-
tinue operations in this city.
The reasons advanced, aside from
the concentration of the company's
property, for abandoning the plant in
this city, are high taxes, the feeling
of unrest in the labor circles through
out New England, especially at Low
ell: the fear that the troubles there,
may reach Manchester and the con-
stantagitation in favor of an eight-hour
law.
The company recently removed its
Greenwood mills at New Hartford.
Conn, to Alabama, where it owns
the thousand acres of land and has b
plant of l5,000-horse power.
The mill employ l, 700 hands with d
weekly pay roll of 4O.OOO.-New

The Yazoo delta or bottom, which
has been flooded by water breaking
through the levee from the Mississippi,
is said to be the richest cotton land in
the world and although comparative
ly small portion of it is under cultiva-
tion its production of the staple is ex-
tensive. The Yazoo bottom has an
area of about 1000 square miles and
contains the eleven counties of Tunica,
Coahoma, Quitman, Bolivar, Sun
flower, Tallahatchie, Lehore, Wash
ington, Sharkey, Issaquena and Yazoo.
The water, after flooding the planta-
tions and settlements and obstructing
railway traffic, will, it is said, flow
into the Yazoo river and into the Mis-
sissippi, as the country is fat, nearly
level, but sloping gently to the south
ward. The richness of the soil is due
chiefly to these overhows which have
left large deposits Of fertilizing value.

County Blown Off the Map.

Topeka, Kan, March 24.-Hodge-
man County, in Western Kansas, has
been blown off the map. County lines
and public highways have been oblite-
rated, and the only spot where the
people can recognize their own
premises is the little town of Jetmore,
the county seat.
This information comes in letter
from a. J. Coombs, the county sur
veyor. to Governor Bailey. Coombs
says the high winds during the past
two weeks have practically wipd out
the county lines and public roads with
the storm of sand which has been scat
tered over the prairies.
Hodgeman is cattle county. There
are no fences. No attempt is made
at farming, and the only vegetation is
the buffalo grass, upon which the cat
tie feed. Surveyor Coombs wants the
State to appropriate money to pay for
re-establishing the county lines.

INDIGNANT PASSENGERS.
Charleston Train Held More Than
Two Hours for an officials Son.

Several lawyers and other would-be
passengers were much disgusted over
an incident that occurred in connection
with the train that should have left
here over the Southern railway at 7.20
Saturday morning for Charleston. The
train in question did not leave until
9. 40 o'clock, more than two hours late,
and thereby hangs tale which excited
no little disgust among the gentlemen
in question and prompts the suggestion
that the delay was entirely uncalled
for.
The prospective passengers purchased
their tickets and we're about to board
the train when they were informed
that it would not leave until the
Southern's "Palm Limited arrived. q
AS the Charleston train is not sup
posed to wait for the limited, there
was much surprise expressed when
this information was impaired.
Further inquiries adduced the addi
tional information that the train was
being held for the accommodation of
the son of President Spencer of the
Southern railway, who wanted to 60 to
Summerville.
Naturally, this information dld not
serve to appease the indignation of the
lawyers in the party, who were on
their way to Charleston to appear be-
fore United States Circuit Judge Sim
onton in several causes OF more or less
Importance.
When the limited train did finally
put in an appearance the lawyers found
it would be too late to 60 to Charles
ton and attend to their legal business
and they went to the ticket Office and
demanded the return of their money.
There were very much put out and
said that they could not understand
why President Spencer's son could not
have had more consideration. 1t would
have been comparatively simple for
him to have ordered special engine
to take his private car to Summer
Vile, thereby causing no inconveni-
ence to the passengers, who we're not
in a position to accommodate them
selves in like manner. AS it was, the
latter were seriously Inconvenience
and very pardonably incensed.-The
State, March 80.

The B. and L. Compromise.

Comptroller General Jones, in refer
ring to the spartanburg Building and
Loan Associations compromise on the
taxation business said that he had not
seen the official returns made under
the agreement, but with what little
consideration he had given the pro-
posed plan he was of the opinion that
1T was not legal or in conformity with
the Attorney Generals ruling. How
ever, this is not given as a final con.

SCHOONER EUTTRICK LOST.
Convinced Charleston Tigers That
He Was Not BIuh7ng.

Chief Constable U. B. Hammett has
returned from Charleston, and he
thinks the outlook for the enforcement
of the dispensary law in that city
much better. The blind tiger dealers
seem to have had an idea that the talk
about enforcing the law was all bluff.
Mr. Hammett has disabused their
minds of such an idea, and he says
several of them voluntarily promised
to go out of business rather than get
in trouble.
Blind tiger dealers in other cities,
who have also thought the whole thing
a bluff, will learn better later on

THE STORM ON The COAST.
Havoc Played With Small Vessels

RI0R AS FAR INLAND AS
ASHEMLLE, N. C.

Norfolk, Va, March 30.-The north
east storm that swept down the A tlan-
tic coast yesterday and this morning
played havoc among the small shipping
and tied up coastwise trade almost
completely. Hampton Roads is full of
sailing craft awaiting a decrease In
the heavy sea now running. At Cape
Henry the winds reached velocity
of fifty two miles an hour, and the big
wireless telegraph masts at Ocean View
and Fort Monroe were blown down.
The naval collier Leoni das, while at
tempting to change her moorings in
the harbor, collided with the schooner
Minnie and Emma, of this port, an
chofed near her, and carried away
stern yawl and davits. Capt. Wyatt
entered complaint at the navy yard.
The collier subsequently cleared for
Boston.
The high tide prevailing in the har-
Dor flooded the streets in the lower Sec
tion of the city and for time traffic
was suspended.
GREAT STORM AT NEWPORT
NEWS.
Newport News, Va, March 3d.
Heavy damage ashore and ahoat was
wrought by wind and wave during the
storm which has ragged in the past
twenty-four hours. The storm cul-
minated today in a violent gale. The
tide reached danger point within two
feet of the level of the floors of the
piers and threatened to bring great
disaster to property along the water
front.
To venture out into the raging seas
was equivalent to attempt suicide, and
many seafaring men stayed on shore
last night rather than risk their lives
on the waves.
Tie two-masted schooner VIM. B.
Hall, bound up the James River to
Norfolk, with $1,000 brick, sank at
her anchorage and will probably be
total loss. The captain and crew of
two men put off from the boat in an
open skiff, as she was going down,
and attempted to reach shore. The
men, who were all negroes, fought
frantically against the elements. They
were finally compelled to give up the
fight and sank exhausted into the bot
tom of the boat The men were ex-
posed to the storm until o'clock this
morning, when they were rescued by
the Chesapeake and Ohio tug Alice.
They were almost frozen when picked
up.
The dead body of VIM. Collier, of
the oyster pungy W. H. Smith, which
capsized in Chesapeake Bay on January
20. was cast up by the sea at Ocean
View today.
The body of a negro, probably from
a shipwreck in last nights storm, was
found in fsherman's net at the
mouth of Hampton Creek this after
noon. The corpse has not been iden-
titled.

WATER NOT RECEDING.

Greenville, Miss, March 30.-There
Is little change in the food situation
tonight. The cutting Of the protec-
tion levee at the northern border OF the
town has given no perceptible relief IN
letting out the water. On the contrary
a rise is still in progress generally
throughout the city. The big cregasse
three miles south of the city continues
to widen and it is impossible to say
what the ultimate breadth will be.
The negro family, woman and i've
children, reported to have perished
was rescued. There have been many
sensational rumors of persons drown
ed, but to date not one of them has
been confirmed.
Persons who have just returned
from tbe crevasse south of the city
report that second has occurred about
500 feet north of the first break. The
new crevasse is about 400 feet wide.
This new opening will add to the
volume of water that is flowing inland
from the swollen Mississippi, but it is
not considered that it will serve to
complicate the situation further than
possibly to make greater the overflow
area.
AT THE DANGER POINTS.
Vicksburg, Miss, March 30.-Mud
boils appeared in the levee at Mayors
vile late this afternoon and tonight
almost the entire male population is
working at the danger points. Tele-
phone messages state that the danger
is great and citizens are complaining
of the levee boards action in with
drawing the guards from the levee in
that city. Mayersville is the county

Arkansas, City, March 30.-The

2, 600 feet wide and the water is rush
ing through at a rapid speed, overflow
ing Issaquena, Sharkey and a portion
