A Morrow Escape

A few evenings ago, Mrs Anna Champc,
of the AGITAToR, returned from visit,
and proceeded to light the gasoline fire
to prepare supper. 1t was dusk, and she
had not lighted n lamp, and did not see
that the gasoline had leaked out, and
that glass jar setting under the burner
was about third full of gasoline. Asa
result, when she touched match to the
burner, there was flash, and the wooden
skirt she wore was ablaze in an instant.
She made no cutlery, and did not RIM
outdoors, but proceeded to smother the
the flame that was burning her clothes.
While she was doing this, the fire
was gaining Roadway, and the stove
was almost enveloped in sheet of
flame. The pantry door, which was
near the stove began to burn. and
the flames reached the tank on the stove,
and the tank became so warm it could
not be handled. Fora wonder, there was
no explosion. After Mrs. Champe had
cxtinguished the fire that was burning
her clothes. she ran to the pump and got
a bucket of water. with which she soak.
cd the floor and carpet about the stove
to keep the fire from speaking. She
then succeeded in putting out the fire.
None of the neighbors knew anything
about the affair until after the trouble
was past If you use gasoline in cook
ing, be careful to look after the leaks.

NAMES OF Miles, Dewey and Schey have
been suggested as presidential possibilities on
the Democratic ticket. Miles has many years
of service 10 his credit-years in which he was
not permitted to distinguish himself, either in
battle or by planning battles for others to fight.
Dewey is hero, and is so recognized by every
nation under the sun. Schley is an honest
and upright character, capable of acting right
when the time tor action comes. Either OF
these men should win, and no better choice
could be made, nor the appreciation OF the ma
ton be better shown, than by the nomination
of one of these eX-heroes. lola Friend Demo
Graf.
Why not consider the adaptabilIty of these
gentlemen for the high position of president!
All admit the good points of each as mentioned
by the Friend Democrat, but does any one
know how they stand upon the questions that
are up for settlement? Are they on the side OF
labor, or on the side of capital? Is it likely
that either one is friend OF the masses-of
the common people? All have been educated
in the cart" of killing people. Do their hearts
beat in sympathy with and for suffering human
ity? What has either one ever done to prove
that his election to the presidency would be
beneficial to the country? With the possible
exception of General Miles, neither one is ia
miliar with the political affairs of this country,
and that would unfit them for such response
BILE position. Dewey said, in 1900, that he
knew nothing about politics. His life has
been spent upon the high seas, and he has not
been in touch with this country--no more, in
fact, than man who is not a citizen of this
country. Schley occupies like position. Miles
is more familiar with the country than either of
tie others, but his life has not been such as to
qualify him for the position of president. Sup
pose either one could WINS that the only
qualification to be sought in presidential can
didate? Are we not to apt to look for "wn-
ner' regardless of qualifications? But, then,
the above mentioned gentlemen needn't dodge,
for the lightning won't strike them. 1t will be
Cleveland or some "safe" Democrt.

GOV. ST. JOHN ON THE NEGRO QUESTION.

GOV. ST. JOHN ON THE NEGRO QUESTION.
From the Mail and Breeze.
uEditor Mail and Breeze: Answering the
questions propounded to me in your letter,
will say:
els the Negro generally treated unjustly?"
Yes.
sis he becoming more useful citizen?"
Generally, yes. Exceptionally, no.
"What do you consider the chief cause of
the race troubles?" Prejudice.
"Wll they eliminate in race war, as occa-
sionally predicted?" Yes, unless the Negro is
given the same protection that the constitution
and laws guarantee to all other citizens. His
ancestor was brought here against his will. He
is an African only by descent. By birth, he is
an American citizen, and as such, he is entitled,
under the constitution or our country, to trial
by jury, and if lie is denied this..right, and the
practice of hanging him, or burning him at the
stake, is continued without any honest effort to
punish the perpetrators of such outrages, in
time it will bring about s'race war;" ending
possibly in the extinction of the Negro as we
extinguished the American Indal
"What way may better understanding be-
tween the races be effected?" By chloroform
ing the professional politician, who, being
devoid of patriotism and every sense of justice,
makes cats paw of the Negro to pull polit-
cal chestnuts out of the fire.
"Are the races to continue side by side, to
exist as American citizens, or is a geographical
separation inevitable?" A geographical sepa-
ration is mpracticabe. They must continue
side by side as American citizens. This doesn't
mean social physical intellectual or moral
equality, but it does mean equality before the
law. Only this, and nothing more.
These answers to your questions are based,
not upon the government as administered to-
day, but upon the principles upon which the
government was founded four generations ago.

MEMS SOCIAL SCIENCE CT,TTR

There was large attendance at the
Mems Club, Monday evening, unusual
interest attending the paper of Rev. L. S.

This was anticipated as a paper from

MIR. l.. ID. Kirk in paper on the pulpit

nature OF reply-a defence Of the pull
pit rather than a discussion of the pew:
its virtues and defects as seen BY the pull

The paper accredited Mr. Kinks non

Christian training, and resented the
charge that 1t was an insult to the intel.

Thinking that, perhaps, an account of
the work of the cyclone at our place
would be of interest to your manv read.
crs, and So many erroneous stories are
being told, thought Iwouid write how
it really occurred.
We supposed that the worst of the
storm was oyer, when, almost without
warning, the side of the house crushed
in on us. The next we knew, we were
up on the hill, fifty or more yards south
of where the house had stood. AS soon
as the wind subsidized so we could stand
we found the other two not far distant
Ralph, aged 8, being found first; Baby,
aged five months, was found. Then as
soon as the storm cleared to see what
direction to take, we went to p. X. Lesh's
house, where they summoned Drs. Skill
man and Simmons, who asccrtained the
full extent of our wounds. Baby had a
cut two inches long on top of his head,
and two other cuts on head; Ralph,
scalp wound two inches square, torn
loose and hanging over his eye, and very
bad bruise on left jaw and chin. The
other two children were not hurt to
amount to ANYTHING. Wife had bad
cut on her chin, and both she and were
badly bruised and shaken up, but very
thankful to the All-wise God for his pro-
tccting care.
Our house and furniture were n total
wreck, and scattered for distance of
half a mile. G. S. EARLEwINE.

Mr.Huh suggested that he had not
attended church for, many years, ana
since he had heard the pulpit and tina
pew discuss each other, he must consider
himself fortunate that he had not been

JOHN SHOULD STUDY SOCIALISM.

On the first page is an article by John Mitch
ell, on "Traoes Unions and Strikes" which is
very interesting, and an able paper, from Mr..
Mitchell's standpoint. But if he would give
the subject proper consideration, and would
study the doctrines of Socialism, he would
readily see that strikes are unnecessary. Of
course, we believe that Mr.. Mitchell is right,
under our present system, but the system is
wrong. Under Socialism, there would be cause
for no strikes, because all would be members of a
universal brotherhood great union, All
would be working for themseves-for the
brotherhood not for employers, individ-
nails or corporations. All would have an equal
interest in the work and in each other. =
Mr.. Mitchell doesn't believe in Socialism,
but that is because he hasn't carefully studied
it, and doesn't understand it-that's all

"THE SNOLLYGOSTER IN POLITICS."

That was the subject of the Lecture at the
opera house, last night, by Colonel Ham, OF
Georgia. 1t was political lecture, but not
partisan. Each person imagined, no doubt,
that he was listening to description of seal
awag in "'tother party" And the Colonel's
description was true to nature-not bit over
drawn-showing that he is well acquainted
with the characteristics of the "critter"
1t was very enjoyable lecture-to all but

7. Bryan is changed man since the marriage
Of his daughter Ruth; that he has become
moody and silent, and has grown more aged
and careworn than he had been in the last six
yea1s. Old-time friends who are familiar with
his habits and life say that Ruth's marriage
has affected him more than the loss of both
of his campaigns for the presidency. AT times,
he refuses to talk or answer questions. Ruth
was the apple of his eye, and, it is said, he had
looked forward to the time when she could as
sist him in his literary labors. The sudden
