In his inaugural address delivered
before the Mississippi general as
semb]y this week, Gov. James K.
Vardaman, it is reported, declared
that education is the curse of the
negro race and urged an amend
ment to the State constitution that
will place the distribution of the
common school fund solely within
the power OF the legislature % Mis-
sissippi is unfortunate in having a
governor who refuses to look be
meath the surface in order to find
the truth. The remedy is not to
cut off education from the negro.
but to see to it that he is given the
right kind of education.

The Chester Lantern claims that
Chester was the first county to
agitate the good roads movement to
any great extent, and the Abbevllle
Press and Banner knows nothing
about that but does know that
"Abbeville has some as good roads
as we expect to see before we shall
be a resident Of that city which is
paved with golden bricks.'
We are glad to know that Chester
has long been an advocate of good
roads and we hope that her aglta-
tion has accomplished much good.
We are glad to know that Abbeville
has roads very little inferior to those
in that city which is paved with
golden bricks. And we are glad to
know that the editor Of the Press
and Banner is travelling such good
roads on a straight course to that
city, and We hope he won't be lonely
when he gets there, so far as his
brother editors are concerned. We
congratulate Chester and Abbeville
and Editor Wilson.
We only wish that every county
in. the State could have been the
fist to start the agitation for good
roads and that every county in the
State could have got the good roads
first.
We have good roadsin Newberry,
too, but we don't bring them out

giving the causes that led to the
founding of the College. He
showed how the College had been
turned from its intended course in
a mechanical direction by force OF
circumstances, and in answer to the
demand of the people. He said
it was sad fact that the young
men were leaving the State to find
positions. He hoped that the found
ing of this building would tend to
giving the sons of farmers an educa-
ton that would help them make an
honorable living on the farm.
Other addresses followed.

NARROW
ESCAPE
Cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi
Reach Vladiyostok Liter
ally Riddled.
Every Officer on the Two Vessels
Was Either Killed or
Wounded.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-The cruis-
ers Rossia and Gromoboi, which have
just reached V1adivostok after the
battle with the Japanese Sauadron off
Tsu islands Sunday last, narrowly es.
capped the fate of their sister ship, the
Rurik. A dispatch from Vladivostok
shows that every officer on the two
vessels was either killed or wounded.
Rear Admiral Jessen narrowly es-
capped the fate of Admiral Without.
He was standing on the bridge of the
Rossia when it was wrecked by a
shell.
The two Russian cruisers were lit
orally riddied, their guns and engines
being partially dismounted.
The escape Of the Russian vessels
from Admiral Kamimura's four ar
mored cruisers is regarded as won
derful piece of luck. 1t is presumed
that the pursuers of the Russian ships
did not dare go far north, fearing that
some of the vessels of the Port Arthur
squadron would break through the
straits of Korea.
There is no confirmation of the re-
port that the cruisers Pallada and
Diana have reached Vladivostoly and
the admiralty has no news bearing on
the whereabouts of the other vessels
of the late Rear Admiral Withoft's
squadron.

start, jumped up again to $1.12. The
reason for the change of sentiment


reason for the change of sentiment
among the traders over night, ,-as shown
in the early trading, was the failure of
the weather bureaus forecast of possi-
Bile frost in the spring wheat country
to come. There was nothing within
fifteen degrees of frost temperatures.
AS the price of wheat since the mid
die OF June last has advanced 80 cents
bushel there We're naturally numbers
of traders who had made handsome
profits and what they had been buy
ing constantly since then was the
wheat that was for sale as soon as the
market opened. Hundreds of nervous
wheat owners had hardly got rid of
their grain when it was reported in a
telegram from Winnipeg, sent by a
well known crop examiner who had
gone up to Manitoba, that the rust
that had ruined the crops of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas was at work in
the British Northwest and threatened
that part of the country with sim
liar calamity.
The last hour of trading showed the
sentiment of traders again divided,
with strong leaning toward the bear
side. Conflicting reports from North
Dakota caused doubt as to the real
seriousness of the situation and the
timid among the holders of long lines
preferred to be on the safe side
How immense is the interest taken
in the grain market by people of all
sections, may be judged from the fact
that one Chicago commission house
bought and sold for customers 1S ,O0O,-
600 bushels of the various kinds of
grain Wednesday and other large
houses sold from 100000 to 10000
900 bushels each.
