Lazy Folk.

In most civilized countries laZincSs
is looked upon as vice. If man
docs not work neither shall he eat is
the rule in such nations. But in tropi-
cal lands, where nature is very kind,
food can almost always be had for the
mere gathering. This will explain
why the Fantis Of the West African
gold coast will not work. A penny a
day will enable Fanti to live like a
fighting cock. Why, therefore, should
he distrt IS himself? If he wants any
little extra, such as tobacco or strong
drink. it is even then hardly necessary
that he should work for it, for is there
not his wife? He believes in fair
division of labor-the wife earns the
living. and he consumes it. A hun
drcd Fantis will do less than n dozen
English navvies, and do it badly with
out white overseer. Under Fanti
oversecr they soon begin to shirk the
work and lie basking in the sun, and
by and by the oversecr joins them.
Every burden is carried on the head.
Set them to carrying stones from a
heap and they will carry them one by
one on their heads. walking to and fro,
no matter what the distance. A con-
tractor for some buildings at Cape
coast Castle introduced wheelbarrows.
ne FHntis rose to the occasion. They
,h'ried the barrowS on their heads

NEGROES DIE MYsTERIousLY.
Annlston Officials Are Investigating
 Two Very Unusual Cases.

Anniston, July 26.-(Special) 1.-Two ne- groes have met death in Anniston the last two days and mystery surrounds the taking away of both of them. Allen Scott died at his home on Seventeenth street at 4:3O o'clock yesterday morning. He went to his home about 12 o'clock at night in apparent good health, went to bed and at 4:30 o'clock died. A post mortem examination was held in the un- dertaking rooms of the Anniston City Furniture company yesterday morning by Drs Smith & Bros. to ascertain the cause of his death. They have not yet made public the result of the examination.
 Jetty Sewel was struck by a train on the Southern railroad near Twenty third street about II o'clock last night. The train ran nearly It's full length after striking him before it could be stopped
 When picked up Sewell had bruised place on the side of his head and his neck was broken. He was lying on the track when the train struck him. Wheth- CT he was killed and placed on the track or was drunk and laid down and went to sleep is the question now receiving the attention of the officials. The mat ter will be thoroughly investigated.

NO CHANGE NOTED
 IN THE SITUATION
MINERS AT PRATT CITY TAKE COMPLAlSANT VIEW OF THE STRIKE AND BEST OF HUMoR PREVAlLs-oTHER NEWS.

Pratt City, July 26-(SpeciaL)-Th mine situation in Pratt City remains unchang- ed The city is almost wholly dependent on the mines and the question of when the differences will be adjusteI is the chief topic of discussion on the streets.
 With the exception of No 10 and No. 8 all the mines In the district are idle These are being operated by the con- victs and are said to be making fairly good records. In No. the Tennessee company has placed nearly all of it's foremen of the Pratt mines to instruct the conviets and the men.
 Of all the people of Pratt City the miners seem ito view the situation most complaisantly. They discuss the matter very conservatively and say that they are prepared for the outcome. They take the matter in a matter of fact way and very little talk is heard of reenting or receding. The present situation recalls somewhat the strike of 1894 when the miners were out nearly five months.
 It is understood that a number of mine workers have made arrangements to visit relatives and friends throughout the country. It was also rumored that about forty members of the Pratt City local had called for their cards, transferring them to other locals.
 No trouble is anticipated by anyone In the city. The best humor seems 10 pre- val among the miners.

BUILDING STORES
 IN GREENSBORO
THREE HANDSOME STRUCTURES
 WILL TAKE PLACE OF WOODEN
 BUILDINGS WHICH WERE DE- sTRoYED BY FIRE YEARS AGO.

Greensboro, July 26.-(Special)-M. D. L. Moore of Newborn has all of the ma terial in place and has been at work on three brick stores and a livery stable, which will take the place of the wooden buildings burned several years ago. They are located on the corner of Main and Tuscaloosa streets and will prove quite an addition to the business portion of the town.
 T. R. Ward Is adding an upper story to his store on Main street. When con- pleted 1t will be one of the handsomest in town.
 R. H. deGraffenreid, one of Hale coun- tvs progressive truck farmers, believes firmly In the rotation of crops and carries out the idea most successfully. He plant ed English peas early in the season. and after marketing perhaps a thousand bushels he now has a beautiful field of cotton on the same land from which he hopes to gather fine crop, unless the season is unusually bad.
 County court adjourned today after be- ing in session since Monday. Many farm CTS were in attendance.
 A heavy rain accompanied by severe wind fell in Greensboro Friday. Several barns were unroofed and trees blown down, but no special damage was done. Mrs P. Davis of Mobile is lying eriti- cally i'll at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Louis Turpine. Mrs. Davis was Miss Bettie Christian and was raised in Greens boro She is a sister of Judge w. c. Christian.
 Numerous persons are preparing to visit St. Louis next month. The Ladies' Home Mission society of the Methodist church will give a silver tea at the parsonage Thursday evening, the proceeds to be for the benefit of the | parsonage.

MISTAKE IS MADE
 IN THE REPORTS
Decision In Waterworks Case Was Against the City of
 Gadsden.

Gadsden. July 26-(special.)-The first news received in Gadsden from the su- preme court in Montgomery in reference to the water works case was very mis- leading, and was entirely wrong, al- though the telegram was from the clerk of the court. Since your correspondent sent you the first report certified copy of the decision has been received, and 1t gives the case to Messrs. Weller and Mitchell.
 The supreme court says that the ordi- nance passed by the present board last June repeating the ordinance passed in November of last year grant ing the franchise to Weller and Mitchell is void, and that the city council has no right to interfere with the con- tract, and that the contract is binding and cannot be repealed. It is very likely that these gentlemen will commence work in few weeks on the long-deferred con- tract, and Gadsden will have better water system and better fire protection.

BESSEMER JUDGE
 IS IN HOT WATER
PETITIONS FILED AGAINST JUDGE JACKSON TO TEST THE coNSTI- TUTloNALITY OF THE INFERIOR COURT. aa4s.fi.f

Bessemer, July 26.-(speciaL)-J Az Estes, attorney for the relator. S. J. Till- man, filed a quo warranto petition against William Jackson in the Bessemer city court. requiring him to show on whatI authority he exercised the right of judga of the Bessemer inferior court. The pro-I ceedings Is a step to test the constitution-l ality of the act establishing the court, i'd being claimed that the bill was not suf-l fciently advertised.
 The petition was filed with the clerk of the city court and tomorrow Judgei Jones will set date for hearing the case, which will probably be in about ten days.
 The act establishing the Bessemer in- ferior court was passed by the last legis- lature and Judge William Jackson. whd was then justice of the peace, was ap- pointed to the judgeship by the governor. Since that time Judge Jackson has beeu nominated for judge of the Bessemer city court.
 It Is claimed that the bill providing for the inferior court being a local bill, was not advertised sufficiently. The case will probably be tested in the court of the last resort.
