A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers I'm Nanesmond county
died recently while i'm the prime OF life. and
his death illustrates forcibly the importspc,
OF certain precautions in business matter,
that men are often likely 10 overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particulars
men In the BUSH ess of farming, have plans 10
hand az all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover DELAYS
involved, as well as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed To tide him over emergencies: but for
his estate to do such thing Is eutireIy a Diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active I'm business
and seldom had a large balance i'm bank. He
kept his money at work. As a consequence.
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out n policy of life insurance in
the Ph6nix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phenix in payment ofthIs
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family In the
protection which IL afforded its various
interests.

white Republican movement which.
arrested by the menace of the Lodge
"torce BILL" had begun to recover
Its momentum under the ad minis
tration of Mr.. Mckinley. We recall
very distinctly, in fact, the alarm
created in many quarters by that
movement during the last few years
OF the nineteenth century and the
thinly concealed satisfaction with
which its second and final check
was hailed in 1901, 1909 and 1903.
Altogether, there is no sort of oc-
casion for the misgivings so freely
expressed since the promulgation of
the declaration ir question. 1t is
merely an appeal for the negro vote
in close Northern States-simply
that and nothing more.

NOTHING IN HATNEGRO PLANK

(Fr0n Washington Post. Independent
Our esteemed Southern contempo.
rarles are, We think, taking much
too seriously what they call "the
negro plank" i'll the Chicago platform.
1t is in the least degree improbable
that the declaration is intended as
anything more than a bid for the
negro vote in certain Northern States
which may become doubtful if the
Democrats should act wisely at st.
Louis.
Nobody really believes that the
election laws in Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana can be successfully at
tackled. AS matter of fact, the
United States Supreme Court has
already pronounced upon most of
them and proclaimed their entire
validity. The so-called grandfather
clause" which was very harshly
criticised-and in our opinion Justly
has expired by limitation. That
it operated a temporary discrimina-
tion against the negro cannot be
denied, nor have We any wish to deny
it. But this discrimination has
ceased, and the suffrage laws of the
South now impose upon the whites
exactly the same restrictions they
impose upon the blacks. The author
or authors of the Chicago platform
may be said to understand this per-
fectly.
Moreover, Democratic organs at
the South must know by abundant
experience that any agitation in the
direction suggested by the aforesaid
"negro plank" will inevitably have
the effect of solidifying the whites
and thereby perpetuating the regime
of the party machine. We do not
say this will be good for>the South
quite tie contrary-but certainly
the Democratic organs cannot find
fault with it. They had every
reason to apprehend the effect of the
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1904-07-22
DUROC JERSEY HOGS.

Editor Southern Planter:
have often been asked to describe
the Duroc Jersey, and beg to say q
word about this new breed of swine
that is forging its way to the top of
the hog ladder of fame, and is the
leading breed in the great grain
growing West. where the stockman
wants the hog that can the quickest
convert his corn into marketable
pork.
The Duroc is cherry red in color
and In conformation is similar to the
Poland China, being built low to the
ground. long, round firm body, tippy
ears and short face and head. He is
just as industrious as the Berkshire,
and grows faster and larger than his
black brothers. The sows are better
mothers, being very kind and gentle
and fine mixers, have the. best of
dispositions, and are the most prolific
of any breed. They breed perfectly
true to color, and have fine, straight
hair. 1t is generally the case once
bred always bred and there is no
better testimonial than this.
There is no doubt that the Duroc
is one of the best all purpose hogs
being bred today, and trial with
them will convince you of the abso-
lutte truth of this assertion.

RACED TORNADO.
Passenger Train Hurled Over
Embankment.

Beaten by few seconds in wild
race with a tornado, an accommoda-
ton train on the Chicago, Peoria &
st. Louis road was whipped like a
straw from the track and hurled
down a steep embankment within a
few rods of the bridge at Oakford,
ILL.,. twelve miles north of Peters
burg, July 5th. The coaches were
torn from the engine by the force of
the wind and flung down the slope,
turned completely over and piled in a
broken and splintered mass at the
bottom. Fortunately there were only
few passengers on the train and
only one fatality, although a number
OF the passengers had almost miracu-
lous escapes.
The engineer, who escaped injury,
said he watched the gathering storm
closely as his train sped along, and
he feared from the appearance of the
clouds that tornado might result.
AS the train approached Oakford the
clouds suddenly seemed to concen-
trate and drop, apparently coming di-
rectly toward the train.
Realizing that the train would en-
counter the tornado if it proceeded,
the engineer quickly shut off steam
and came to halt. The approach
ing tornado, when about mile away
to the southwest and coming north
east, suddenly swerved further toward
the north, and the train was directly
In its path. Instantly the engineer
opened the throttle in wild en-
deavor to rush beyond the zone of
danger, and again the tornado
swerved and headed directly for the
lying train. The roar was heard
plainly above the rattle of the train.
Steam was crowded on, and like a
rocket the light accommodation,
jumping and pounding on the rails,
whlrled ahead in an endeavor to cross
before the cyclone and pass IN safety.
Suddenly, with crash that was
heard above the rumble and roar of
the tornado, the train was struck
broadside, the coaches were torn
from the engine, lifted into the air
and hurled from the embankment
into the ditch seven feet below, turn
ing d complete somersault in the
descent and landing a splintered
mass. The engine alone remained
upon the rails.
