We have had 90 many de~nunciatlons
Of the negro that il is a pleasure to
record something TO his credit. A
Nashville paper recently said.
Bob Fiippin, a veteran negro por-
ter in the employ Of the freight office
Of the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST..
Louis railway, dropped dead on the
street last week. he had held his
position for twenty Eve years, and in
that time bad handled all the receipts
OF the office, n Of his duties being to
carry the Offices deposits to the bank.
Il is estimated that not l4ss than s25,-
100000 belonging to the road had been
handled by tn negro during his SER
vice. Not q penny was ever missed"
Abiding to this instance of fidelity,
the Memphis Commercial Appeal
says:
"To a we'll Informed Southerner this
viii not be startling information. We
are used to such. While our fathers
we're in the army during the Civil War
our slaves remained ct home, and
many . negro overseer m4naged the
plantation for missus' and turned
over every dollar that he made.
Since the bloody conflict ended the
negro has continued to act as q frosted
servant to his former master. Banks
and commercial houses all over the
Southland allow him to handle large
sums of money, and we have never
heard of one Of them running away
with large or small amounts. This is
indeed very remarkable, when It lie
considered that the negro as a race
has very little regard for moral obliga-
tions. They do not think It a sin to
pilfer, but put one in a place of re-
sponsibility and he is pretty apt to
make good and give general sstisfac-
tion.n
Every now and then some circum-
stance comes to light which discloses
the true relations existing between
the races in the South more surely
than long winded novels or brilliant
orations. These things happen day
after day under our own eyes, brit we
are so used to them that not infre-
'quently they occasion no remark.
When one of them gets into print we
say to ourselves, "That is So" and
thinking by association recall half a
hundred similar incidents which had
failed to impress US at the time Of
the occurrence.
The exceptional cases of outrage
should not and do not cause the
Southern people to doubt the general
fidelity of the negro race. The only
disturbing influence in the South has
been politics, and now that the cues
ton Of suffrage is settled there is v q
~ reason to believe that the old con.
adential relations of the races VIII be
restored.

%ANcHoRINo OF SANE DUNES
They Were Covered with Vegetation
to Prevent Them from Engulf-
ing Arabic Land.

So much attention has been directed
to the work that Is being done in re-
claiming the arid and semi-arid lands OF
the west that the reclamation workalong
the Atlantic coast Is almost entirely
overlooked. The familiar sand dunes,
characteristic ofthe coast from Cape Cod
to Cape Fear. while perhaps artistic, con-
stitute a menace to adjacent cultivated
lands and are useless in themselves, Mas
~sachusetts, at considerable expense. has
been endeavoring to reclaim the sand
dunes that form so large a part Of the
Province Lands" on Cape Cod.
It has been found that sand is readily
bound together by grass roots, and that
II sturdy varieties OF grass. suitable for
sandy soils. are planted and cared for
while obtaining a foothold and maturing.
they will gradually cover large areas,
transforming them from shifting worth
less lands into veritable fertile culuvable
fields. Many years Of forestry work in
Europehave shown that after the grasses
have made a start, trees can be success
fully raised on these erstwhile sand piles.
which may thus be made to yield areve-
nue.. Some Of the most extensive and
mobile sand dunes in the United States,
however, are found in the west, and It Is
the ambition Of the bureau o fforestry to
VI these with permanent forest
growths. Along the Columbia river in
Washington the sand is very light owing
to the large proportion Of mica It con-
tains, and consequently is easily blown
about by the winds.
In a part Of the lower Columbia river
valley great orchards have been actually
engulfed with the shifting sands, and the
railroads have experienced great diff
fculty In maintaining their tracks in this
district in passable condition. In order
to make a practical test as to the best
method Of treating these duns, a strip Of
land on the Columbia river, between
Willow creek and the John Day river.
has been set aside by the government for
extensive experiments based on the work
done In Massachusetts referred to above.
In the east, tree planting plans for own
ers Of sandy tracts are being prepared.
this extending the scope Of the practical
cooperation begun by the bureau OF
forestry.-Philadelphia Record.

afternoon. The crowds were larger and
more enthusiastic than those of yesterday.
National Chairman Taggart was on the
train part of the time and between speeches
he and Bryan were in close consultation.
Mr.. Bryan declared that no greater
calamity could befall the people than the
election of President Roosevelt, because

who, he said, had deported more than

that ii Gov Durbin had acted on the same
