state. The whipping OF Mamie DeCris
about year ago caused the legisla-
ture at its last session to pass a reso-
LUTON prohibiting the whipping of
white female convicts, but did not sub
stitute any other plan for indicting
punishment upon women for violating
the rules made for the management OF
this class of convicts. This being SO,
the management is at sea as to what
should be done in matters OF this char.
acter. The women at the farm, or at
least some of them, are disposed to
take advantage of the management be-
cause of the fact that it has no author
ity to either administer the lash or
substitute some other punishment for
violations of the rules.

From the Eufaua Times.
Late Yesterday evening Ed Scott, a
colored drayman of Mr.. H. G. Holle-
man, went up to one of the bars in the
city and drank half pint of whiskeV
and started out and made many re-
marks as to now much he could drink.
He finally said he would drink a'quart
more if some one would pay for it, and
agreed in case he didn't drink all of
the whiskeY he would pay for it. He
finally managed to get it all down and
staggered out of the bar room and
came down the street, and in less than
an hour after he drank the whiskey
he was dead. He was good hand but
often got TO much ahead, and this was
the time he got too big load.

CREEPING MOUNTAIN.
1t Cuts Caper That Costs a Rail
road Company $1,000 900.

California has a creeping mountain,
saws the Los Angeles Times. 1t has
cost something like $1,000,000 to find it
out. Santa susanna mountain has been
tunneled by the Southern Pacific rail-
way for a cutoff line between Los An
geles and San Francisco, and traffic
was expected to open Jan. l, but the
opening is indefinitely postponed.
Several weeks ago the engineers In
charge of the work announced that the
tunnel was completed, SO far as their
work was concerned 1t remained for
the railway company to lay and bal
last its tracks, light the tunnel and
complete the work Of that character.
Then it was discovered that the sides
of the tunnel were bullying, and the
engineers were recalled.
Concrete braces, huge timbers IA by
10. well braced, were set, but the creep
ing monster crumbled the concrete ana
snapped the timbers and continued TO
thrust its bulky sides into the opening.
A portion of the mountain is COM
posed of shale, and it is this portion
that is causing the trouble. 1t mas
been discovered by careful observation
that this shaIe section is slowly but
steadily moving westward. 1t is, IN
fact a mighty stone river moving to-
ward the Pacific.
The strata dips oceanward, and the
movement is doubtless what is known
as a slide" caused by displacement
somewhere in the depths Of the earth.
Whether or not the engineers will de-
wise a way to stay its progress and
make the tunnel disable remains to be
seen.

Any person who eats small quantity

smallpox as it is possible for anyone
to be.
ITO be sure, one ought to be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms, and
avoid dirt of all sorts. Also avoid
contact with people who have small
pox. Foolish exposure to the conta'

of. But there is no need for vaccina

NEGRO WILL FOLLOW INDIAN
STARTLING VIEWS ADVANCED BY A
NOTED WESTERN MAN.
Professor Wilcox Declares Fate of the
Redskin will Be That of His
Darker Skinned Brother,

"Whatever solution of the negro
problem can be offered" said Prof.
William G. Wilcox in an address to
the State University of Ohio, "there
is natural one which we must not
lose sight of. The negro will follow
the American Indian to the happy
hunting grounds. Every lesson of his
tory teaches US this in no uncertain
language. Every condition of his life
and his surroundings can give no other
answer.
History has proven time and time
again that when the representatives of
an inferior civilization come into con-
tact with the Representatives of SUI
perior civilization the people of the
poorer civilization must pass away.
"The Indian, the representative OF
an inferior civilization, came in direct
competition with superior civiliza-
tiOu of the early settlers, and the In
dian has disappeared. He has, in fact,
been legislated out of existence. Har-
messed by unfriendly laws and sup-
piled with cheap whiskey he is slowly
passing away.
'The lot of the negro has been Diff
ferent. sUnder the old regime of
slavery he increased in numbers be-
cause his body was worth money to his
master. Removed from the condition
of valuable animal, every condition
that sympathetic people could devise
has been brought forward to help him.
"But now the negro, removed from
the guiding care of careful master,
has fallen upon his own too slender
moral and intellectual resources. He
earns no money, he will not work if he
has dollar in his pocket; he is idle,
lazy and detriment TO every place in
which he lives.
"The solution of the burden which
his very being puts upon the people is,
as | have pointed out, purely natural
one. He VIII go the way of the Amer.
lean Indian. Not so fast, it is true:
the negro is prolific breeder, and be.
sides that he is protected by q multi.
tude of state and national laws. But
he is as surely doomed as the Indians
left in the scattered settlements of the
west Statistics show that the per
cent of increase is growing less and
less with each decade, and the passing
years will no doubt see him classed in
the side shows of the travelling circus
with the Caucasian girl and the tat
tooed man."

FISH THRIVE IN HOT WATER.
1t Is Also Said Live Ones Have

A gentleman who has travelled ex-

fish, the Pacilla dorri, which he found
in the boiling lake of Amatitian. 1t

lake, it is said, that to thrust ones

CANDIDATES CAN'T TREAT.
Unique Bill Passed by South Car
DINA Legislature.

OF all the peculiar bills that have
become laws by the general assembly
Of South Carolina the "anti-treating
bill" is the most peculiar. There have
been many bills introduced that are,
to say the least, odd, but few OF them
eyer pass. This bill, however. was
brought over from last year, and the
author Of it took care that it was not
lest in the committee rooms, was not
laid on the table, and lobbied among
his personal friends so that they sup
ported it more for personal friendship
than on account of the merits of the
Oil. 1T has passed both houses, how
ever, having passed the senate last
week, aud is only awaiting the gov
ernor's signature to become law.
The bill provides that anyone giving
ayOter drink within one mile of a
voting precinct on an election day
snail be imprisoned on the county
cnalngang for 30 days at hard labor.
Inc bill as passed by the house pro-
Vlded for fine of 800 or imprison-
ment at hard labor, but the senate
struck out that part relating to the
fine.

WON'T GIVE UP THE FLAGS
Clay and Hardwick Turned Down
by Roosevelt,

In his characteristic brusque man
ner President RooseyelG refused Sena-
tor Clay and Representative Hardwick
battle flag of the Forty-eighth Geor-
gia regiment now reDosing in the attic
of the war department building.
The Georgia representatives had
been working for several days to Sc
cure the flag for the survivors of the
regiment, who b ad requested them to
obtain it for them, and they went to
the white house in answer to req
the president sent them. They were
very hopeful when they went into the
presidents room, but exceedingly dis
appointed and somewhat nettled when
they came out few minutes later.
There are now in the attic of the
war department 780 flags, Of which
236 are union flags captured by con-
federates AM subsequently recaptured
by the federal troops, and 544 are con-
federate flags taken in the battle or at
the final surrender at Appomattox.
10 1887 President Cleveland ordered
all the Aaqs, both union and cOnfeder'
ate, returned to the governors of the
states wherein they belonged, but
subsequently, countermanded the or
der. Several war secretaries have
from time to time given back union
dags or confederate flags to union
troops who captured them, but no con-
federate flag has ever yet been restor-
ed TO confederate veterans, though fire.
auent attempts have been made to OBJ
tain them.
