Another Carnegie Gift.


Carnegie's munihcent gift OF 5000, 900
to the Tuskegee Ind ustrial institute
In Alabama probably will meet with
more general approval than any other
one OF his benefactions for the advance
ment of popular education. The value
Of $500, 900 expended in the south for
educational purposes, whether among
the blacks or whites, will accomplish
double the good that 1t will In the
north, where the spirit and desire for
learning has been so thoroughly in
culcated that 1t will largely carry it.
self without financial support In the
form of endowments. 1t must be re-
membered that the proportion of state
aid to public schools Is very low In the
south as compared with the north,
while higher education In the south is
dependent almost entirely upon pr.
vate contributions and endowments.
And curious as 1t may seem, most OF
these donations come from the money
ed men of the north.
The value of Mr.. Carnegie'S gift,
therefore, can hardly be reckoned In
dollars and cents. Mr.. Carnegie has
spent millions in founding libraries all
over the country, and we doubt very
much IL all OF them put together will
accomplish so much social and intel
lectual good as this assistance to Tus-
keegee institute. Certainly no one OF
them will, not even il it involved the
expenditure OF millions Of dollars Mr..
Carnegie, like other northern men OF
affairs and wealth, has become interest
ed in the racial problem that confrontS
the south, and with them he believes
that the solving OF the problem lies
chiefly in uplifting the moral and intel
lectual standard OF the negro. He has
taken sufficient interest to make a
handsome contribution of money in the
cause and certainly he could not have
placed 1t more advantageously. Tus-
kegee institute is the anchor rock OF
the colored mans hopes in the United
States, and it has already accomplished
an incalcuable good within it's limited
sphere. The judicious use OF Mr.. Car
negie's 5000, 900 and we may besu it
will be used judiciously, will enable the
institute to greatly enlarge its facilities
and assist in meeting the growing de.
mands that are being made up on 1T by
the younger generation Of ambitious
colored men. Substantial encourage
menu like this from the north will do
more toward solving the negro problem
than the theorizing and forced sup
preston of century. The south is la
mentally poor when it comes to pro-
viding funds for education, but whenit
finally realizes It's full value, it will re-
turn eternal gratitude to the north for
every dollar contributed towards its
dyancement.-Sagi News.

Just a Reminder

Just Reminder.
Could man but be q baby
For little while each day,
Could he say when comes the cleaning:
IL have had enough OF play
Take me, arms OF her who bore me,
Soothe the worries all away;
Tuck me In and
Gro On above me
Words that prove you'll
Always love me.
Hold my restless, play.worn fingers
In your own so restful, strong.
While your lips breathe forth the cadence
or some DID, sweet evensong."
Could man discard his burden
For while each busy day,
And be once again the little
One aweary OF his play
Starved for mother arms so tender
That would fright his cares away
Should some soft voice
Groom above him,
Proving faithful
Hearts still love him.
Could his weary hands find resting
In another, big and strong.
All his life would then be brighter
And his lips would bear song.
Brother, YOU may drop your burden
At the closing OF the day;
In the Fathers eyes your labors
Are but prattling babies play;
And He longs to show His mercy
And to soothe your cares away.
Hear that soft voice
Groom above you:
Peace, my careworn
Child, love you"
Then the arms called Everlasting
Slip beneath you-tender, strong,
And your tired heart ceases signing
While your lips send forth song.

CROP WILL BE LATE
Peavey's Representative Says Win.
ter Wheat Has Had a Setback.

Chicago, May 21.--A summary Of reports from
the southwest received by Chicago grain men
shows that the damage to winter wheat on the
Whole from bad weather and insect damage may
have been less than previously estimated. Lead
ing investigators are agreed that there has been
q setback all around and that the crop will be
later in reaching maturity and new wheat will
be later in coming the market.
The effect of this would be felt in July. 1t
has been calculated that much new wheat Of
contract grade, would be moving in early enough
for July delivery, but with the present outlook
July will be more Of an old crop option even
In the leading winter wheat markets.
The Record Herald of to-day has the follow
ing opinion from James Petit of the Peavey
Grain company:
''We have had reports from 200 points in the
southwest district and we found nothing except
that the crop has been delayed and upset by the
cold weather. There has been setback to the
wheat promise, but nothing more that we can
find. l. am bullish Oh wheat, and have been. But
as to the present crop scare I feel there is no
new peril incident to this sort Of experience.
do feel, however, that this wheat crop expert
ence will be factor in the July price There
has been delay enough from the low tempera-
lures to mako the July assuredly an old crop fu-
ture. If there had not been the cold weather
ut the end Of May there might have been some
question. about it.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Z Cleveland, May 21.--!The Iron Trade Review. in
it's Issue this week, says: The expectation is
that round lot of Bessemer iron for delivery in
the second halt Of the. year will be bought very
shortly by the United States Steel corporation
and such a purchase may furnish the needed
stimulus to the pig iron market at large There
Is said to be no disagreement between the stee;
corporation and the valley furnacenen over the
prict for the second half, which will be in the
neighhorhood Of $40 at furnace but the insist
ence OF the furnacemen on the delivery of ton
of coke BY the corporation for every ton Of
iron delivered under the existing contract has
been the subject of recent negotiations. sale
of Bessemer iron at $1940 at furnace for the
third quarter delivery is reported. The fact
that the steel corporation will make large pur-
chase Of outside iron in spite Of the considerable
additions to its own pig iron capacity this year,
Is one proof OF the heavy consumption of steel
products. Another appears in the pig iron statis-
ties, which show production at the rate Of close
to 90. 00O, 900 tons year May 1. while report
ed pig iron stocks declined 5000 tons in April.
Zig; iron production is now at a yearly rate
100000 tons more at this time in 1902, when

SIC to SIT at Birmingham The foundry. iron
market. the little there is OF it. has shown a
further decline the past week and sales have
been made OF southern No.: 2 as low as SIS Biz

original position and are allowing the market to
find its place. Northern is weaker tho very little
is done consumers not being satisfied that bottom
has been reached In the Chicago market local
iron has declined SOC in the week.
On the Atlantic seaboard import sales have
ceased and; 1t is not expected they viii be re-
