BOOKER r. WASHINGTON
Expresses Opinion on Recent Burnings
 at the Stake.

To the Editor of the Age Herald:
 Within the last fortnight three mem- bers of my race have been burned at the stake; of these one was a woman. Not one of the three was charged with any crime even remotely connected with the abuse of a white woman. In every case murder was the sole accusation. All of these burnings took place in broad day. light; and two of them occurred on Sum- day afternoon, in sight of Christian church.
 In the midst of the nations busy and prosperous life. few, I fear, take time to consider whither these brutal and inhu- man practices are leading us. The cus tom of burning human beings has be- come so common as scarcely to excite interest or attract unusual attention. I have always been among those who have condemned in the strongest terms crimes of whatever character committed by members of my race, and condemn them now with equal severity; but I main- tain that the only protection of our civil ization is in fair and calm trial of all people charged with crime, and in their legal punishment If proved guilty There Is no shadow of excuse for any departure from legal methods in the cases of in- dividuals accused of murder. The laws are as a rule. made by white people. and their execution Is by the hands of white peo- pie, so that there Is little probability of any guilty colored man escaping.
 These burnings without trial are in the deepest sense unjust to my race: but it Is not this injustice alone which stirs and saddens my helrt These barbarous scenes, followed as they are, by the publi- cation of the shocking details, are more disgraceful and degrading to the people who inflict the punishment than to those who receive 1t. If the law is dsregarded when a negro is concerned. it will soon be disregarded when a white man Is con- cerned, and, besides. the rule of the mob destroys the friendly relations which should exist between the races, and in- lures and interferes with the material prosperity of the communities concerned.
 Worst of all, these outrages take place in communities w.fere there are Christian churches; In the midst of people who have their Sunday schools their Christian En- deavor societies, and Young Mems Chris tian Associations; where collections are taken up for sending missionaries to Af- rica and China, and the rest of the so- called heather world.
 Is 1t not possible for pulpit and press to speak out against these burnings in a manner that shall arouse public senti ment that will compel the mob to cease insulting our courts, our governors and our legal authority and cease bringing shame and ridicule upon our Christian, civilization?

CLOTH BUSINESS
 HAS BEEN STEADY
TRADING HAS INCREASED IN SOME DIRECTIONS BUT DIFFl- GUILTY IS EXPERIENCED IN MAX ING TRANSACTIONS.

Manchester, February 2s.-The cloth market has been steady, but business Is difficult to transact, though 1t has in- creased in some directions. The large eastern distributing outlets furnished new orders. Neither Calcutta nor China Is disposed to buy goods at quotations Prints and fancies have been more fa- vorably situated, some merchants re- porting a fair weeks work. Purchases of standard qualities for South Ameri- ca have been moderate. Manufacturers of wide goods and sale ends held an in- dependent position, being well engaged. Prices were rather higher than the pre- ceding week. The daily fluctuations in sympathy with cotton harassed buyers and sellers.
 Yarns. despite the difficulty to negotiate, had fair inquiry and moderate turn over resulted. American qualities for the home trade and the finer counts occupy a favored position.

NAVAL AND ARMY BILLS IN SENATE 'WIlIbe Given Right
 of Way WOOD CASE IS DELAYED House Has Small Proportion of the Big Supply Measures Await
 Ing It's Action for
 ThIs Week.
WOOD CASE IS DELAYED

Washington, February 8.-lt is ex- pected that both the naval and army ap- propriation bills will be reported to the senate during the present week and 1t Is intended to take them up for considera- tion as soon as possible regardless of all other legislation and henceforth to give the supply bills right of way to the ex- clusion of all other matters.
 The army appropriation bill has been under consideration by subcommittee of the military committee and will be taken up early in the week. The prospect Is that the naval bill will be the first to meet opposition and probably will be de- bated at length.
 The bill authorizing a joint building for the use of the state department, the de- partment of justice and the department of commerce will be called up on Monday by Mir. Fairbanks It is understood that MT. German will seek to secure various amendments to the measure. Tuesday will be devoted to the bill relating to the shipment of government supplies and in accordance with the agreement reached yesterday vote will be taken on it be- fore adjournment that day.
 Wood Case Delayed.
 It is not expected that the confirmation of General Wood will be considered during the week, owing to the absence of Sena- tors Foraker and Blackburn, both of the committee on military affairs and both interested in the case, though on oppo- site tides. It is the general expectation that the case will receive attentoin next week.
 At the request of MT. Beveridge, next Thursday has been set aside for consid- eration of legislation in the interest of Alaska. There are several bills pertain ing to that territory Mir. Beveridge, how ever, will not press these bills if there are appropriation bills ready.
 The committee on privileges and elec- tions will begin its investigation into the Smoot case on Tuesday and it is also expected that the special committee ap- pointed to inquire into the charges against Senator Dietrich will proceed with its work during the week.
 HOUSE FORECAST.
 The first week in March finds the house with a very small proportion of the big supply measures awaiting its action. The naval was the eighth of the general ap- propriation bills that have been disposed of at this session. The remaining supply bills will be given precedence over other measures, as 1t Is the desire of the lead CTS to clear up all the regular business of the house as early as possible. The District of Columbia appropria ton bill will be taken up and then will fol- low the Indian appropriation bill. The time allotted for general debate on these bills will give ample opportunity for poli- tical discussions. With these bills out of the way the postoffice appropriation bill will be placed before the house, the con- sideration of which will consume some time. In the meantime the appropriations committee win perfect the sundry civil | bill, now in an advanced state of prepar- edness, In order that 1t may be taken up | at the earliest practicable moment

STOCK EXCHANGE
 WAS INACTIVE
TROUBLE IN BERLIN AND PARIS DURING PAST WEEK HAD DE- MoRALIzINo EFFECT ON ALL FOREIGN STOCKS.

London. Feb. 2s-The past week the stock exchange was occupied in the settle ment. Business was inactive and 1t is likely to continue so until it is seen whether the settlements in Berlin and Paris reveal further trouble arising from the panic of the previous week. which had demoralizing effect on all foreign stocks. Spanish. Turkish and Bulga- rians securities especially being heavily sold.
 A feature of the settlement was the shortage of Russian bonds for delivery It seems that Russian selling on the con- tinent has been wholly confined to specu- lators, real investors retaining their hold ings.
 r It is believed that if there should be no further trouble in Paris or Berlin, the cheap money now prevalent will Induce healthier period of buying for invest ment, all stocks being now attractively cheap.
 Business in the American markets has been very restricted with weak prices owing to the pressure of sales from the continent.

Formal Aoceptanoes Made.

The Hon. J. H. Bankhead, Jr., has re- ceived from Capt. R. P. Hobson, through his private secretary. Mir. Painter, tle following letter:
 "Guin, Ala. February 2s, 1904. Hon. J. H. Bankhead. Jr.. Jasper, Ala:
 Dear Sir-Captain Hobson directs me to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 18th, notifying him of your fathers appointments at Oakman, Carbon Hill and Cordova March 3 and 4, respectively and his invitation to be present and divide time.
 Captain Hobson also directs me to in- form you that he accepts this invitation and invites your father to be present and divide time at an appointment at Fayette Courthouse Monday March T. at 10 a. m, and at Tuscaloosa Monday, March 14, at 10:30 a. m.
 ''He directs me to inform you that at the following places and dates he will speak and invites your father to be pres ent and divide time with him:
 Intercourse, March 8; Derby, Whitfield and Bellamy. March 9: Belmont. Coatopa Pleasant Ridge March Il; Gainesville. March 12: and he further suggests that arrangements be made for joint debate at additional places, to be mutually arranged for some time between Tuesday, March 15 and April g.
 Trusting that your father will be able to accept Captain Hobson's invitation, beg to remain, very truly yours,
 PHIL PAINTER, Private Secretary"
 MT. Bankhead stated that he could give no reply as to the acceptance of the pro- posed meetings suggested by Captain Hobson until his father arrived on next Monday. He gave 1t as his opinion how ever, that his father would accept the dates for one or two speeches each day, but that he thought that three discus sions could not be had in one day, three | appointments requiring about twelve | hours for the speeches alone to say noth- l ing of the time consumed in going from one place to another. A meeting has been closed for Jasper on the morning of | March 4.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
md gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.

Only a Word.

Selected.
A young girl sat on the piazza Of
her home, pale cheek and dropping
figure telling recent illness. She was
watching the raking of leayes from the
grass, and as the man passed near her
with his rake she aroused herself from
her languor to say:
"You keep the lawn looking 50 nice
ly, John. / like to SEQ 1t that way"
He was only the hired man, a stran-
ger in strange land, and this was but
one of score of duties that he was
paid for doing. Probably no one had
ever thought of praising him before,
and he had no answer ready.
A week later the gentle invalid was
gone-sllpped away suddenly out of
encircling arms, out of the world like
the vanishing of a snow wreath. No
one thought of John as among the
mourners he was only driver of the
family darriage which carried some of
the friends, but to one of these with
whom he found himself alone he told
of the kind commentator, the last
words he heard the girl speak, and
added, with voice growing husky:
"As long as stay there the lawn
will be kept as Miss Helen liked to
seo it,"
The little word had left legacy of
brightness and awakened a heart to
new loyalty and faithfulness.
The art of saying appropriate words
in kindly way is one that never goes
out of fashion, never ceases to please,
and 10 within the reach of the hum
blest.
