for !Iimseif--PurposcS to Practise
Law Among the Negroes in the South.
NEW HAVEN, May % The second colored
orator in Yale's list of prize-winning stu
dents, George Williamson Crawford, who
recently carried off one of the Wayand
prizes in tho Law School, is a senior in
that department and has spent three years
at Yale. At the annual prize debating
contest of the Law School, held on April
30. he had chance to speak with the other
students and. to the surprise OF many OF
his classmates who did not know him well,
he captured the third prize of $40.
The subject for debate WIS: 'Resotred,
That in sse Of n strike in either the anthra-
cite or the soft coal region some form OF
Government trusteeship should intervene

nent Of the strike The Law School men
do not know on which side they will be
chosen TO speak until the hour Of the debate.
Crawford was prepared to argue on both
sides, ind was chosen to take the negative.
Crawford is nearly feet in height. He
MAS born at Tuscaloosa. Ala, on Oct FL,
1871 When yesrs old his parents died,
leaving him absolutely alone in the world.
Through the aid of some friends he was
enabled to attend the public schools in
Birmingham. working between hours to
pay his way. In the seventeen years he
has been in school since he has paid all his
avn expenses, working whenever and
wherever he could.
Many times he has had pretty tough
experiences, for. although tall. he is OF frail
constitution. He has always had to take
special care Of his health. and he attributes
his present healthy condition solely to tho
most careful system Of diet and exercise.
Alter three years spent in the public
schools Of Birmingham he went TO Tuskegee
where, under President Washington, he stud
'ed until he was ready TO enter Talladega
College. He was a student there when
Pckens, the Yale junior orator. who won
The Ten Eyck prize recently, was working
his way through that college. Crawford
Was two years in advance OF Pickens.
In 1900 Crawford took his degree from
Talladega and in the fall entered the Yale
Law School, During his three years in
New Haven he has been a very quiet but
faithful student. A good deal Of his time
mas been taken up in earning his tuition
and board He has worked as clerk
anu bookkeeper, has waited on table
and las done various other things to help
OFT his bank account.
The first s,nAmer he spent in New Haven
he suffered much from the heat. He said
that he had never spent summer away
from the extreme South before and he longed
Tor the Southern weather. In speaking
Of that he said

Ten Days Of Frost May Have Half Ruined
the Wine Industry This Year.

hc VINE INDUSTRY lus Tear.
The heavy frosts that occurred in Franco
| between April 10 and 20 are likely to have
| q very serious effect upon the vino crop
this year. The greatest damage was done
In the southwest of France where the vtne
outranks In value all other agricultural
products 1t is estimated that one-hAH Of
the crop is destroyed.
When tho frost came the buds were swol.
len and just ready to unfold. They wero
badly frost bitten and large part Of them
turned brown and dry. No news is yet at
hand Of the progress Of budding since
the frosts occurred.
A certain proportion OF now buds cor
tainly unfolded and II the weather con-
ditions were excellent a great many Of
them have come out. In this case the
da mage Of April may be largely repaired
by favorable later conditions
In 1874 and 1892, after severe frosts, the
subsequent weather was so helpful that
the partial failure Of the crop was scarcely
noticed in the worlds markets. But OK
ceptionally good weather is all that can
now save the crop from great disaster this
year.
large reduction in the vintage Of Franco
for the present season would have prao-
tically no present effect upon the prios
Of wines. The reason is that wine Is not
marketed or consumed as soon as it lie made.
Two years, and if the wine is OF really good
quality. three years must elapse before ii
comes on the market.
The failure OF n single crop, therefore.
does not produceimmediate scarcity. There

on hand; and If the i'll fortune Of this years
crop is partly repaired by good weather.
and the crops OF the next two Year, arc

considerable rise in the price Of wines when
the smaller French crop OF 1908 finally
comes on the market.

the French farmers have had a vsgy bad
beginning for their years industry.
