TH TONGUE IN DISEASE.
A an Index so the Various Internal D.sorssers It Is Almost
 InfaIlibIe.

The physicians of ancient times, who were pretty acute observers and knew more than some of their scientific suc- cszBors of the present day are wont to Believe, placed good deal of reliance on 'khe Indications of disease which are fur afBhed by the tongue. Even yet an in Spection of the tongue is one of the rou- Atdne practices of the physician in his Drofessional visits, says Youths Com 4panion. The tongue not only tells of *he condition of the stomach and diges- tive organs. but also gives much vaI- uable Information regarding the state 'pf the blood and of the nervous system. m simple indigestion due to want of tone sn the stomach and intestines the fongue is broad and dabby, the sides xehowing indentations from pressure l<gainst the teeth; the surface is covered 3sEith thick white fur with yellowish D hrownish tint
 fn chronic disorders of the stomach and other digestive organs the tongue is usually more or less dry and its surface I&ns q glazed appearance. with patchy Whitish or brown coating.
 Tn irritable or infiammatory affections nf the stomach the tongue Is elongated And pointed, dry, of a bright red or Drown color, and it's surface is some Hines cracked or furrowed. The fur- rowed tongue is also indicative in many cases of kidney disease. or perhaps of a atate of irritability of the nervous Eys- tenn.
 Tn feverish conditions the tongue is 6Imcst always coated and more or less dry. the degree of dryness often increas- ing with time and the height of the fever. Tn protracted typhoid and typhus levers and other affections in which the vital forces become greatly depressed. the tongue is covered with brown or blaclish fur, is dry and hard, and the eairfaee scanned with deep cracks.

Mixed Schools in Kentucky.
Richmond Times Dispatch.

k!cHmODu 1lIneS-DlSpdtcn.
Some time ago it was stated in
public print that Mr.. Andrew Car
negie had contributed a large sum OF
money to be used in promoting mixed
schools in Kentucky. Believing that
the report grew out of the fact that the
bill recently passed by the Kentucky
Legislature to prevent the cO-educa-
ton of the races at Berea College was
to be tested in the courts, we wrote
to the editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal and asked for all the facts in
the case.
In reply to that request we print
today a communication from Mr..
Charles A. Daley, of the Courier
Journal staff, in which he gives his
tory of Berea College and Mr.. Car
negie's connection Herewith. He
saws that there is absolutely no
truth in the report that Mr.. Carnegie
has attempted to interfere in the con
test, the money which he promised
to give being designed for IA library
building
Berea College was established by
Northern people who believed that
the negro would he uplifted by bring
ing him into intimate association
with the whites, and the money which
they gave to the institution WIS
given with the condition that both
races were to be educated side by side
without discrimination.
Our correspondent admits that the
institution has done a good work in
educating the whites of the noun
famous district. and he believes that
if it were let alone, by degrees the
negroes would all abandon it and
leave it to the whites, as the State
provides good schools for the cduca-
ton of negroes. However that may
be, we have no liberation for a mixed
school in the South, no matter what
the peculiar conditions may be. We
are willing to give the negro a fair
chance, but never will we consent to
bring him into social relationship of
any sort whatever with the whites.
We insist upon the color line; we in
sist upon absolute separation; we in
sist upon separate hotels and separ-
ate places of public entertainment
generally, and especially upon separ-
ate schools. We believe in popular
education, but we would rather see
every public school house in the State
burned and the whole public school
system smashed than to see negro
children and white children brought
together in intimate association in
the school room. That sort of thing
is simply impossible in the South.
1t is not even IL subject of discus
sion.
We dOnOt blame the people of Ken
lucky for protesting against Berea
College. If the management wish to
maintain it for the whites and to
maintain a separate school for the
blacks, all right. If they wish to
maintain it us an institution for the
blacks, all right. But no Southern
State ought to allow any institution
no matter how good it may be, which
undertakes to educate the whites
and blacks within the same walls and
thus necessarily to bring them into
intimate social relationship.

Enterprise of the Manufacturers
Record.

The remarkable growth of the
South and the equally remarkable
development of the statistical de-
partment of the Manufacturers
Record, which enables that publica-
ton months in advance of the census
reports to present Il close approx
nation OF Southern growth, is shown
In some comparisons presented in a
recent issue. 1t is shown that the
Manufacturers RecOrdalways makes
rule in it's statistical estimates to
understate rather than to overstate
real conditions, its aim in this being
never to give exaggerated esti-
mates. Discussing these facts that
paper in its issue of April 2Sth,
saws:
From time to time the Manufacturers
Record, in order to spur Southern indus
try and to encourage Southern endeavOr,
publishes estimates of crops or of other
economic efforts in the South Not in
frequently such estimates are heralded
by individuals accustomed to gain their
statistical knowledge by absorption as
wild exaggeratiOns. The Manufacturers
Record has encountered obstructive criti-
clsm from the time it began. more than
~ years ago, to point to the future of
the South. In many cases that future
has become a past. and what some
thought We're wild dreams and '.exag-
gerated estimates" have become accom-
pllshed facts or ultra-cOnservative state
ments. For example, on March 81 1901.
the Manufacturers Record made the fol
lowing forecast ofwhat the census W ould
show as the total value in 1900 of the
agricultural, manufactured and mineral
products of the South in 1900:

There was conservatism in estimates
to the extent of $50, 000, 900 in the total
OF 81, S44, 100000. Another instance of
conservatism is in the cotton estimate
made in the Manufacturers Record of
December 10th, 1903, that 'the value of
the present crop, including seed, NAV be
safely estimated at 1925, 900, 900" The
official figures of the census. nearly five
months later, placed the value OF the
crop, including seed, at $66O.549, $50, a
conservative underestimate of $50. 800
600 in total of $500, 100000.

THE ROTTEN KATY PROPOSITION.
The 8 per cent tax levied by the city
council to buy right Of way for that
rotten, piratical combination known as
the Katy railroad, which by the way
was going to do so much for Guthrie,
is either wholly right or wholly wrong.
1t is an absolute case of extremities.
There is no middle ground. II the
levy made by the council is proper the
county treasurer should collect the
tax; If not, he has no right to mark
red ink nieroglyphics on receipts for
taxes paid. pending settlement Of liti-
CATION.
Tae Leader feels. with thousands Of
tax payers. that the per cent levy is
a damnabie, diabclical outrage. AL.
ready the city is taxed to death. Peo-
pie are afraid to locate here on ac-
count Of the rapidly increasing taxa
tion. Yet the per cent assessment,
while diabolical, is no more so than
the indifferent attitude taken by a
whole lot Of men, who subscribed to
he Katy bonus and who now refuse
to pay their subscriptions. thus allow
ing the forty-seyen men who, allowing
town interests and loyalty to get the
better Of usual business sagacity and
wisdom, TO guarantee that the notes
thus subscribed would be paid, We
can't see why the men who were loyal
enough TO act as guarantors should be
made TO play scspegoats and put up
5000 each, as well as the amounts they
subscribed to the bonus.
The s per cent levy is a rank injus-
tice And likewise the guarantee
proposition. The trouble could be
easily obyiated If subscribers would
pay their notes. That would settle the
tax proposition and the guarantee.
The M, X. & IT, proposition has been
blight on Guthrie from the first.
The bonus-getting has been a tissue
of misrepresentation and falsehoods.
The people have been deceived all
along. The Katy people and their
legal talent have fiimmed the city to
standstill and now the Katy seeks
to aid the last chapter ~ forcing the
people to pay extra hi'iute toward

sition stands today the kicking tax
