the race question as it appears to the
negroes of the north:

wish to call attention to the difference
between the republican and the demo
cratic national conventions. AT the
republican convention the negro was
treated as companion, friend, broth
err. There he was made to feel as II
he was not a political, but a social
equal. The delegates followed the ad-
vice and example of our beloved Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt, who teaches
that the colored man deserves to be
treated as a social equal. To empha-
size this fact, he had the courage to
have at his table Professor Booker L.

A BUNCH OF BABIES.
Many New and Novel Features
Will Be Seen at State Fair.

One of the curious features to be
seen at the coming state fair will be
the baby incubators. Nearly every
body has seen incubators for Matching
chickens, but few have seen little ba-
bies in their glass houses, raised almost
from the dead, as it were, and this
sight will be afforded the fair visit
ors. {
Better than a circus is the perform
ance of the famous Seventh cavalry
regiment. The soldiers ride their
horses in way that makes the hair
stand on end, and perform feats while
on horseback that would seem impos-
sible did you not see it for yourself. A
troop of this regiment will be al the
state fair.
The Macon Fair Association will
have the only brick exposition build
ings in the world. These buildings
are now being erected, and will be
made as near fireproof as possible, the
only wood in them being the windows
and roof.
The circular art hall is decided
novelty. 1t will be the meeting point
where friends can gather. The drink
ing fountain in the center, surrounded
by mass of plants and flowers, will be
a novelty worth seeing.
Already fine horses are being quar-
tered at the park to be ready for the
racing. The premium list will show
some splendid purses for the speedy
racers.
The old grand stand will be moved
to the shady side of the track, and this
will be good news to the thousands
who have sat in the old hot stand to
see the horses go by.
Those of the people of Georgia who
want to show what the old red hills OF
Georgia can produce should write to
w. A. Redding, the secretary, for q
premium list. The association has
$l8. 900 to distribute among those who
send the best exhibits to Macon.

WAKEFIELD ON MARRIAGE.
Governor Advises Girls Against
Marrying Young.

Governor Warfeid of Maryland,
addressing the graduating class of a
girls school the other day, advised
the girls to shun cupid's darts until
they had reached the age of twenty. six.
Explaining afterwards, he said that he
had made the remark in rather play
full spirit; that what he really wished
to impress on the girls, was that they
should not be in-tOo much of a hurry
to get married. Many women these
days are getting married too young.
His wife was twenty-six when he
married her, and he had told his
daughters that he would withhold his
consent to their marriages until they
reached that age. At twenty-six a
woman is mature enough to avoid
taking a foolish step, one that would
be regretted when it was to late. The
governor said he thought there were
times when girl might do well
enough to marry at twenty-One, but
one had better not marry Younger
than that age. Too many mothers,
the governor said, were eager to push
their daughters into married life
before they were fitted for the duties
and serious cares of wifehood.

"Let not my colored brethren forget
that scene in the republican conveI.

first and grandest example of the

NERICANs ARE GOING BACK TO THE SEA

not only American citizens, but native
born, and the proportions are con-
stantly increasing. The navy has
been made popular among the farm
ers' boys of the interior. The ocean
fisheries used to be called the nurse
ries of seamen, but nowadays the best
marine nurseries are the grain fields
of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas.
Now that warship has become a
great machine shop sailor is simply
mechanic who has learned not to get
seasick. Anybody who can handle
threshing machine can learn without
much trouble to handle rapid fire gun.
Meanwhile a bitter cry is going up
across the ocean to the effect that the
British navy is overrun with foreign
ers and the British sailor becoming an
extinct species.

BABY LOOKED FOR HER PAPA
"Where Is Papa?" Called Little
Girl of Dead Fireman.

Though the death of Fireman Kahn,
who was crushed by falling wall in
Savannah last week, caused strong
men to weep and the women on the
scene to scream, the most pathetic
scene was innocently caused by the A.
year-old daughter of the dead fireman,
says the Savannah News, During the
excitement incident to informing Mrs.
Kahn of her husbands death the two
little children, who were in charge of
a nurse, were overlooked
When the truck to which Fireman
Kahn belonged came back from the
fire little Katherine, his daughter,
just 4 years old, tottered into head
quarters, pursued by the nurse, who
had the baby, Marguerite, in her
arms.
"Where is papa" asked the little
one.
Several of the iiremen broke down
and cried like children, while Rather
inc looked on n amazement, unable to
realize what it all meant.

1t was more than the men could

WARLIKE NOTE FROM
BRITAIN TO RUSSIA
SHARPEST SORT or LANGUAGE USED
IN REGARD TO SINKING SHIP.
Premier Balfour Admits That a Serious
Question Has Been Raised by Sink
ing Of the Knight Commander.

INV VI Inc NhlgnL commander,
A London dispatch says the British
government is sending instructions to
Sir Charles Bardinge, the British
ambassador to Russia to energetically
protest against the sinking of the
British steamer knight Commander by
the Russian Vladivostock squadron.
Until the presentation to the Russian
government the greatest secrecy will
be maintained regarding its contents,
but it is known that Premier Balfour
and his colleagues nave decided to de-
mand that the fullest reparatiOn shall
be made by Russia, or measures will
be taken to follow up the diplomatic
demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles
Hardinge will submit, will not mention
the amount of indemnity Russia muss
pay the owners of the ship and British
subjects having goods on board the

be the establishment of the principle
of indemnity and apology. A salute of
the British flag must also be conceded
and the future protection of neutral
shipping assured.
The attitude of the British govern.
ment is the result of the thorough
consideration given to the reports
received from Sir Claude Mcdonald,
the British minister at Toxic, and the
examination of international law
authorities by legal experts. The
dipatches from Sir Claude Mcdonald
confirm the reports that the Knight
Commander had no contraband of war
on board for Japan. The government
and all the British authorities, ii is
asserted, are united on the point that
there vas no justification for the sink.

practically have been adjusted, but
which have failed to settle the ques-

In the light of the declaration of tha
Russian government respecting con-
traband of war, made three weeks
after hostilities commenced, no repre-
sensations have been made by Count
Benckeudorff, the Russian ambassador
to Great Britain, to Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne regarding the Knight
