FAVORS DEPORT-

John Temple Graves Says i'm a
Speech at Chicago That
That is the Only Solution of
the Negro Problem.

Chicago. Sept 3.-John Temple
Graves, of Georgia, delivered an ad-
dress on THE Problem Of the Races
this morning before the forty eighth
convocatlon of the University of
Chicago. He said In part: Separation
of the races is the way-the only way.
If God hath made of one blood all
the nations of the earth he hath also
established unto them the metes and
BOUNDS of their habitation. He did
not intend that opposite and antago-
nistic races should live together. The
problem will be solved when the negro
Is restored to the bounds Of his habi-
tatlon. 1t may be that the islands OF
the sea were placed by providence in
our keeping to furnish an answer TO
the problem of the time.
1.-THE South is neither cruel nor un-
patriotic, and the North knows 1t
The North Is neither immovable nor
vindictive, aud the South knows it. If
either of us is mistaken, and if both
of ms are misunderstood, we are yet
one people, and we must meet upon
the plain OF our brotherhood and our
destiny.

hundreds and the crowd was variously
estimated from 2, 500 to 5000 people.
Trading in the stores was brisk and
the mule buyers held forth on the
square in large numbers. The red
lemonade man was IN evidence and
the farmer with wagon load OF
watermelons struck bonanza.
Mules commanded high price, out
a great many of them changed hands.
Mule colts sold for nearly $lOo 10 sew
eral instances. Jere Holt, ofs Cnlleoka'
bought colt each from Charley Frazier
Clay Holt and Melvin Akin, the com
bined price of which amounted to $40.
The crowd in town was one OF the
largest First Monday crowds OF the
year. Visitors began to pour in sun
day afternoon, and AT daylight this
morning they were coming from every
pike IN perfect stream. 1t reminded
one very forcibly OF TrorwoOd article

The Tragic Fourth.
Four hundred and fifteen dead.

Four hundred and fifteen dead.
-Four thoussud injured.
An APPALLING loss of life; one OF the
greatest disasters OF history. Who ia it
that blundered? ls there no one to
blame?
The victims were children. 1t was
another slaughter Of the innocents. The
deaths Of course were caused by the eel
ebration of the patriotic Fourth Of July,
once the glorious Fourth, but now the
deadly Fourth.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association published at Chicago mas
compiled the statistics. A number or
deaths probably occurred in0out OF the
way localities and no reports were OBJ
tainable. But the list as II stands Is
sufficiently grewsome. All OF the deaths
were caused by tetanus. Ofthe number
of deaths 1853 resulted from the use OF
blank cartridges. The toy pistol Is more
dangerous than that OF the unloaded
variety.
A celebration Of the, Fourth is evil
IDENTIFY needed which will display more
patriotism ana less folly. Nor can par
ents escape responsibility for permit
ting their children the use Of these dan
geroue weapons.
