Resolutions Adopted by the COIOred
Teachers institute.

Whereas, Prof. j. j. Dawsey
has SO ably served in the capacity
of institute conductor for us dur
ing the past five days; and,
Whereas, He has given such
convincing evidence of being an
educator of great resources; and,
Whereas, He not only possesses
the necessary requisite from an
intellectual stand point, but in the
meantime has such other rare at
tainments as 60 to make up a
strong and efficient teacher;
Therefore be it
sResolyed, That we, the negro
teachers of Lincoln county and
State of Mississippi, consider Prof.
Dawsey's time spent among us as
being a very strong incentive to
higher ideals on the part Of teach
ers, pupils and patrons through
out the county.
Be it further resolved, That we
extend to him our heartfelt thanks
for the competent, faithful and
skillful manner by which he has
SO ably impaired information of
untold value to us during the en-
tire sitting of the institute.

CAUSE OF WRECKS.
Engineer Says Public Demands Toe
High Rate of Speed to Dis
anguish Signals.

EYES," said the engineer of famous
fast train, in talking over recent big
railroad wreck the other day, there have
been a good many bad wrecks lately but
there's nothing surprising about them
When smash-up happens people get all
sorts of reasons for it, but they rarely
hear the right one. The real cause lies
with the public, that wants to travel at
a rate of speed that can't be kept up with
safety.
II have been in the business good
many years, and am firmly convinced
that 40 miles an hour is about as fast
as train ought to go. When you have
to run at so, so, or 70 miles an hour, the
engineer is simply taking chances. The
other light l was running into a small
city up the state. 1t seemed to me that
more than a thousand green, red and
white lights were dancing before my
eyes, and couldn't tell one from the
other. How much worse it is coming
into Chicago you can imagine. We will
never have anything like safety in rail-
road travel as long as the public de-
mands such high speed"

MILLS OF MANcHuR1A.
Been Rapid In the Last
Few Years.

Hardin is the present center Of the
fiouring-mill industry of Manchuria and
is destined to become one of the great
flour-producing centers of the world. It
is situated in the heart Of the valley
of the Sungari, on the banks of that
stream, where it has the advantage or
water transportation from the wheat
fields, as we'll as transportation by rail
from three different directions. 1t has,
in addition to this, cheap water trans
portation to the sea, two lines OF rail-
way reaching the ocean-one at Vladl-
vostock and the other line touching 1t az
Niuchwang, Dalny, and Port Arthur.
In 1900 the place did not contain a sim
gle -four mill or produce a pound OF
flour. In 1901, at the time of my first
visit to the place, there was one mill pro-
ducing $50 barrels day. In 1902 there
were two mills producing $50 bar
rels a day. In the early part
of 1903 there were six mills, with
daily production of ,44O barrels. In Oc-
tober, 1903, during my last visit, l
found eight mills, with total daily ca
pacity of $500 barrels, erected at cost
of $618,0O0. / was informed that two
more were in process of construction,
and that early In 1904 Hardin will have
ten mills in operation, with a daily ca
pacity of 1900 barrels of flour.
Most of these mills are fine structures
of brick and stone, provided with excel
lent modern machinery from Germany
and Austria. Why these mills have not
been provided with American mach1n-
cry am not advised, but am inclined to
the opinion that American manufactur-
ers have neglected to take advantage OF
previous suggestions to look after the
trade. As the construction of mills is
likely to continue, it would be wise
plan for our people to give this section
some attention.
On the Chinese Eastern railway, $50
miles south of Hardin, there is new
modern -four mill (the Guam Cheng Tsu
MILD, producing $50 barrels of flour per
day; at Kirin there is another new mill
of the same capacity; at Mukden there
is new mill, just started, with capac-
ity of 100 barrels per day; Port Arthur
has flour mill of recent construction
producing $50 barrels per day.
In Manchuria, by the early part OF
1904, and within three years, flour mills
producing 5000 barrels of flour a day
will have been built, and it is my opin-
lon this is only the beginning.

WOMEN IN POSTAL SERVICE.
Germany Follows the Example OF
America In Employing Them
In the Department.

While women were. employed In the
postal and Geographic service of France
and England as early as 1920 and 1880,
Germany did not make trial OF fem
mime service until 1874. The main cir
cumstance that led to the employment
Of women at that time was scarcity OF
available men. When later the admin
istration of the postal and telegraphfc
services were combined under one head,
a general discharge of the women who
had obtained positions in the service fol-
lowed, largely, SO it Is reported, be-
cause Postmaster General Stephan, who
welded a determining influence at the
time, was irrec0ncilable In his OPPOSE
ton to the employment Of women in the
postal and Geographic service. Hence,
all women engaged in the Geographic
service were removed, and only COM
parstiyely small number Of those en-
ployed In the postal service reluctantly
retained as further experiment. Three
years later, in 1876. these also were sep
arated from the service Of the empire.
The successor Of Stephan, Postmaster
General Podbielski, was favorably dis
posed toward the employment OF wom-
en-. He laid considerable weight upon
the successful experience with women
in foreign countries, especially In the
United States. Through his support and
influence women were again introduced
into the postal service, though only in
limited numbers for the purpose OF fur
Their trial. The result was quite as sat
isfactory as had been expected, and since
then the number of women In the Ger
man postal, Geographic, and telephone
service has been rapidly increasing, I'M
til to-day they comprise an invaluable
and indispensable part of the same.

wv spell its awful truth out be-
Is fore the world. The boom
OF cannon, the roar of mus

ssony and death. The raging, merci-
sss monster OF war presses on in re-
Hnuess pursuit of his human victims,
ana leaves behind the hundreds and
thousands OF wounded, and dying and

comes the gentle tread Of the messen-
gers OF mercy, as they seek to undo as
Jar as possible the awful destruction
wrought, to alleviate the suffering, and
20 sweeten the dying moments of the
eatally wounded. AS modern invention
ana ingenuity have increased the ter
eiDleness Of war there has been a cor
responding advance made in the organ
azatlon, equipment and drill of the hos
pital and ambulance corps of the
armies Of the various countries.
Japan, who has amazed the world In
me last dozen years by her remarkable
development and splendid advance
along commercial, inss1Arial, educa-
tional lines. has at the same time been
perfecting her army and creating a
navy that is her pride and boast, and
the dread OF her present foe And per-
haps the most striking feature and eff
hcient branch of Japan's army organ
ization, splendid as it is, is the hospital
and medical service. Japan is cred
tied with having the model field and
military hospital service of all modern
armies. At Tientsin and Picking in
1900 it is said that it proved its eff
dciency and practical superiority when
working side by side with the same
service Of the American, English.
French, Russian, German, Austrian and

TWO TREES.

Through lonely years an algaroba stood.
Her only company the wandering wind:
And oft she tossed her green bouEhs toward
And dreamed that Heaven was fellow
ship of kind.
One happy day the solitary one
Awoke to find little palm tree near.
Whose waving leaves were shining In the
sun,
Whose stately grace that moment made 1t
dear.
Through months and years the twain
grew, unafraid,
And for the palm trees need the other
gave
The shelter of her boughs. their hlmy
shade.
The storms they faced as comrades true
and brave,
Together drank the sunlight and the dew,
And ever when the twilight winds did
They whispered each to other all they
knew
OF life and love, and waxed in beauty SO.
The gardener came; their mingled leaves
100 well-beioved the young tree! and
straight,
Lest all unrnindful Of its inner law
The palm be dwarfed, he moved 1t from
its mate.
Again the algaroba Is alone.
The pangs of parting still are unforgot.
But love sings song of joy in place Of
moan
For she can see, though far, his glorious
lott

Golfers of the society have been filled

In addition to this work Of the Red
Cross society, Emperor Nicholas has
accepted the offer of the knightly Or
ders of Count and Livonia and Estho-
mia, to equip a medical corps for serv-
ice at the front, and this is only the be-
ginning of similar offers from other
royal orders and Russian societies.
Russia was the last of the European
powers to recognize the Red Cross
movement and enter into the treaty
, known as the Geneva convention. The
movement was the outgrowth of the
experiences of Swiss gentleman by
the name of Henri Durant, who Wit
messed in 1859 the horrors Of war on
| the battlefield of Solferino, and was
aroused to the need of some organ1za-
ton which would have for its object
the amelioration of the suffering OF the
soldiers on the battlefields and In the
| hospitals. AS a result of his efforts an
international convention was called to
meet in Geneva in 1864, to which 16
governments responded. All the Eu-
! ropean nations of Europe were repre-
! sented but Russia. and it was not UNI

in 1876, that she adopted the code OF
the society, providing for the protec-

for a proper care of wounded enemies
! or prisoners.
The Geneva Red Cross treaty was
not adopted by the United States until
1882, and it remained for this country
to organize the civil branch of the So
ciety and have it adopted as the Amer
Jean amendment. This provides for the
extending of relief in cases Of disaster
other than war, and Of late years the
American Red Cross society has taken
the lead in work of this character, the
most important instance being that in

And an efficient auxiliary OF the

society. In every large city In Japan
there are schools for training nurses.
At Toxic the empress, who Is the spe-

with her own hands distributes the d.

The fact that one of the imperial
