Concrete Monuments.

A new idea in monuments is to make
them of concrete reinforced with steel
rods. The monument thus made can
be of any size and yet of one piece.
Recently in Hungary on the river
Thesis an obelisk II feet inches high
above the base was made of reinforced
concrete with prefect success, the total
height, including foundations, teing
81 feet inches. The work is made
hollow, it appears TO save material,
the walls being six inches thick. The
panels were finished with a coating of
fine material and polished. The entire
cost of the monument was 81, 522. An
other monument or reinforced concrete
like this, is one erected i'll Rome, Italy,
on Gaudagnola Hill. This structure is
80 feet inches high In view of the
small cost of concrets monuments, as
compared with those of marble and
granite. enthusiasts will be likely to
unoarth a number of forgotten hcroes
for our admiration.

DEATH OF
G. v. MCPHERSON

Charles W. Nickorson, PRESIDENT of
the Sunbury Trust and Safe Deposit
Company, and one of that city fore
most citizens, died suddenly at his
home, Arch street, shortly after mid
night Tuesday morning. Death is at
tributed to Bright's disease.
The deceased for many years was a
resident of Dauville, holding a posi-
tion as train dispatcher for the Della
ware. L,ackawanna and Western rail
road company. On the 10th of Decem-
ber, 1869 he welded Miss Elizabeth
Woods of tins city, who with three
daughters, Misses Mary, Gertrude and
Ruth, survive him.
For week or more Mr. Nlckerson
complained slightly OF not feeling
we'll. but he attached no Importance
to the fact, and the members OF his
family, as we'll as his friends, were
not aware of his true condition.
ON Monday he seemed to be in good
health. and was at his post of duty at
the bank during the entire day. After
sumner he returned to the bank and
was busy in his private office until al
most nine o'clock. Upon his return
home ne complained of feeling tired
aud worn out. He lay down on the
couch and soon fell asleep. His heavy
breathing attracted the attention OF
his daughters, who were In the ad-
Joining room They attempted to
arouse him but were Inable to do so,
finding him in semi conscious state
Mrs. Nickerson, who had been out
spending the evening, arrived home at
about this time, and Immediately sum
moned medical assistance. Drs. Ston-
er, Swenk and Cressinger responded to
the call, and did all known to the skill
of their profession to relieve him, but
with no success, the patient sinking
slowly but surely, until tine Angel OF
Death came shortly after the hour of
midnight.

WHITE SUPREMACY.
Atlanta Constitution on Senator
Bacon's Letter.


Bacon's Letter.
The Constitution prints nota-
bic political utterance from Sena-
tor Bacon, in the shape Of letter
from Georgia s senior Senator.
There seerasstoebe evidence, cum
nlatrp4 since the Roosevelt grounds
well Of mouth ago, that insidious
forces are industriously at work in
the SouthernStates having as their
object the division Of the white
vote, and the eventual disruption
of the "Solid South. 1t is in the
nature Of warning that Senator
Bacon's torceful letter was written
and given to the press, He deems
it prudent and timely to pnt the
white people Of Georgia on their
guard against subtle encroach-
ments upon the only safe principle
of white supremacy, the very ma
ture Of the attempted encroach-
ments constituting their chief dam
ger. The keynote of the Senator's
message to his constituents is con-
tanned in this concluding sentence:
And if, while thus still beleagur-
ing our stronghold, they approach
with soft words aud promises of
the favor of those who sit at the
seats Of power, would cry to the
defenders Of white supremacy: Be-
ware The Creeks are at the gates
bearing gifts.
Obviously, Senator Bacon fore
sees IN the reputed Intention of
President Roosevelt to make fair
weather with the South, 4 sinister
motive that may be menacing to-
the great principle Of white supre-
macy. The election result in Mis-
souri, and Maryland is calculated to
encourage the administration to Al
conciIiatory attitude towards the
South proper, and this taken in
conjunction with certain post-elec-
tion utterances Of the President
and his widely advertised Southern
trip, may be accepted as the ground
for the Senator's expressed fears.
10 these supposed indications of a
changed administration pol { y |
towards the South may be added
the post-election publication of the
Mosby letter and the interviews ct

responsible Southern sreferees" of |

negroes into conspicuous federal
positions in the South, for it is not
done in the North, and 1t is best,
moreover, not to touch the sensibil-
tiles of the South on this sore spot.
We believe this to voice honest
Northern sentiment, and if such a
course is adopted by the Republican
politicians, the South will have lit
tie further complaint OF bad treat
ment at the hands Of an opposition
administration.
In the meantime, of course, and
all the time, for that matter, the
Southern people will cleave fast to
the cardinal principles of white
supremacy, which as matters now
stand is alone possible through the
Democratic party. Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-12-09

would not, since the election, ex-
hibit such a spirit of liberality and
fairness touching the South's pc
culiar problems. Two notable in
stances in point were commented
upon in Fridays Constitution, in
connection with reproductions from
the editorial columns of The Chica-
60 Tribune and The Portland Ore
gonian, two of the most influential
papers Of the Middle West and Pa
cific coast Both of these Republi-
can contemporaries heartily sub
scribed to the proposition laid down
by the editor of The Constitution,
in recent article in Golfers
Weekly, as a basis for better feel
ing between the sections through
more considerate and sensible party
treatment. That proposition was:
/. The acceptance by each section
of the right of the other to deal
with the problem in its own way as
long as the laws of the respective
States and of the federal govern
ment and the provisions of the con-
stitution are not violated.
2. Reasonable, and at least mod
crate, recognition by whatever par
ty may be inepower of the senti-
ment, traditions and sensibilities of
the public opinion of the respective
States in the matter of federal APP
pointment of such officials as must
be brought into contact with the
public.
In their comments on the forego-
ing. The Tribune and The Oregon
ian did not leave anything to be
mistaken in their position. II was
clean cut and comprehensive.
The Chicago Tribune said:
What keeps the negro is politics
to-day? White Southern fear Of the
anti-white policy of a great many
mem ers of the Republican party.
Roosevelt has succeeded in making |
this policy more irritating and more
Illuminating than ever before. 1t is
the one profound error Of his adj
He has found it me-
cessary to do what Mckinley had
no difficulty in avoiding. He has
seen to it that. whether ii be a mat
ter of private dinners Or of political
appointments, the exaggerated
feelings Of the South shall Be still
further exaggerated.
The Portland Oregonian said:
Truth is. the North long. ago has
been willing to leave to the South
The solution of the difficult race
question that besets it. The North
ong since ceased from effort TO
force negro suffrage at the South.
Again. the general opinion Of the q
North holds II mistake to push

the fifteenth amendment, even
though, in the light of certain SUI
preme court decisions. they well
know it to be legal dead letter.
Nor are the people of the North
going to permit Republican Con-
gress to base Congressional repre-
sentation on actual suffrage statis-
tics, instead Of population, thereby
tacitly consenting to the disfran-
chisement of the more illiterate and
INDECENT negroes OF the South.
Senator Bacon, however, views
this suggestion exactly in the same
light as does The Constitution.
Several weeks ago, in discussing a
letter from Hon. ]. ]. Spalding,
vice chairman Of the State Demo-
cratic committee, suggesting rel
duced representation, based upon
the elimination Of the negro vote,
The Constitution stated that if this
was to be the only price of the So
hutton of the race problem, it would
be reasonable indeed it it guaran-
teed peace. Senator Bacon takes
substantially the same position.
The Constitution does not believe
there is congressional menace
hanging like the sword Of Damocles
over the fair head of the New
South" All the Crumpackers in
Congress are as harmless as show
rattlesnake with its fangs extract
ed. The public conscience and
common sense Of the Northern peo-
pie will lend no conntenance what
ever to Thad Stevens reincarna-
tion after forty years Of better
understanding between the sec
tions. The broader Americanism
of the twentieth century will never
allow such black anachronism to
step athwart its sunlight.
So far as the kindly sentiment Of
the North toward the South is con-
cerned, it is appreciated and it is
reciprocated, with no reference to
party politics, The South knows
II exists, and in this patriotic and
enlightened sentiment rests the SCI
rene confidence OF the Southern
people when threatened with force
bills and repressive federal meas
nres, actuated by partisan and
sectional spirit of reprisal. If i'll
we're not for the fact that the intel
igence and character OF the North
IS opposed to the political proscrip-
lion Of the South by the Republican
party, influential newspaper organs

dence in Presidential'.sqare DEAL
toward this section.
Senator Bacon's prudential warn
ing is not amiss at this time. The
menace of negro domination
through division of white vote
whether in Republican or other po-
litical interests,is standing threat
at the South, and will remain so SO
long as The dominant party Of the
patton insists on making the negro
a political factor, in spite of all the
laws of civic decency, public intelli-
gence, property stability and the
immutable law of ethnology. The
brand of reconstruction shame has
burned too deeply into the soul OF
the South to ever permit her to for
get in her splendid present pro-
gress or in her more splendid
dreams of the future, the mon
strous intamy and social and polit-
ical damnation Of those days.
So long as the ''black peril
stalks abroad in the noontide and
the Southern States are threatened
with the whelming Of their civilized
institutions, they will stand like
British square against all the Hot
tentot horde, racial and political,
that the powers Of darkness can
muster to assail them.
But the South has no fresh fears
on this subject. She will politely
decline to divide so long as the
race issue is in the present shape.
The South is not to be seduced
with political gewgaws. She
reached the age OF discretion some
where along about the reconscrnc-
ton period.
However, it is well that our peo-
pie understand the full significance
of and the Importance of white so
lidarity.
Senator Bacon's appeal to the
truth and the shame of history
should not be idly heard by Geor-
gians. He has succintly defined
