Cotton Picker Must Sing.

"The champion negro cotton picker
OF Texas who can pull bale Of cot
ton from the tolls in Two days must
be good singer" said a man who
spent his early life on the farm, "else
he could not pick that much cotton in
80 short time. a report g.on the
Waxahachie district says his best days
work this year was s44 pounds.
That's pretty good cotton picking. 1
dare say he sung q few lines while he
was reaching for this record. No ne
gro can pick cotton without singing.
whenever you see negro pulling
his sack up and down cotton rows in
silence, you can bet he.is not doing
much picking. He may get out Of
the field with 1857 or maybe 200
pounds, but he will not set the world
on ire as picker Of the staple.
Singing is part OF the game, and
when you find q negro who begins to
eing and hollow IS soon as he bends
over the row you may know thereby
that you have good hand. The me-
gro as rule works by music. In no
other line Of activity is the fact 80
noticeable as in the cotton patch.
Here is where the neg.o must sing if
he would meet with any satisfactory
measure of success. It is no loud,
discordant bowling, either. It is
music, the like Of which you can not
hear at any other place, or under any
other circumstances, low, soft hum,
delieately intcned, rythmic, mellow,
soothing, and all the while the pegro's
body swings to and fro over the cotton
row as ne pulls with his nimble fingers
the long white looks from the boil.
II have known great many cotton
planters who would not hire o negro
cotton picker unless he was satisfied
that the negro sang as he worked. It
is curious thing that piokers of this
type have more time for the humorous
bantering and jawing, so common
among this class, than the men who
work in silence.
"The singing negro does not work
as hard, as matter of fact, as the
silent negro. 1t is because he works
more rapidly. The song he sings
seems to make the machinery run more
smoothly, and so he accomplishes
more in the end than the quiet fellow,
and has some time for the foolish
talk of the cotton patch besides

Student Bride.

A romantic incident in which new
Converse college student played part
has developed, and concerning which
the following facts were gathered to-
day: Miss Sue Law of Augusta, Ca,
was married secretly to Mr.. Lawrence
Leah in that city several days ago.
She was brought to Spartanburg by
her guardian on Wednesday and en-

PARIS, July 12.-The Matin to-day
says that eight days after the recall
Of Nisard. former French ambassador
at the Vatican, a number of French
bishops received an order from Cardi-
nal Vannutelli, acting for the Vatican.
to tender their designations by return
mail. The Bishops. it is added, consult
ed the Minister of Public Worship and
Premier Combes, who directed them not
to tender their designations, on the
ground that the concordat required the
assent of the state before removals
were enforced.
Thereafter the Papal Secretary of
State, Cardinal Merry del Val, threat
ened the Bishops with the termina-
tion of their episcopal powers, unless
they came to Rome within fifteen days.
This also was submitted to Combes,
who forbade the Bishops leaving their
posts. Bishop Laval of Dion. two
other Bishops and three Archbishops
having republican sympathies were the
ones designated.
The Matin asserts that the dismissal
Of the Bishops without consulting the
Governments wishes viii be considered
as formal renunciation of the relations

jones, the Golden Rule Mayor" died
at his home this evening at 5:O7 o'clock
as the result of a complication of dis

great hold on the people of Toledo was
his honesty. The Mayor was taken i'll
two weeks ago last Saturday and for
the last forty-eight hours previous to
his death was in a comatose condi-
ticn. He did not regain consciousness
during that time All the members of
his family were at his bedside at the
time of his death. He left widow and
three sons, Percy. Paul and Mason
Jones. He will be succeeded as Mayor
by Robert Finch, president of the City
Council.
The remains of Mayor Jones will lie
in state at Memorial Hall on Thursday
and Friday until noon. The funeral
services will be held at the Jones resi-
dence on Friday afternoon at l o'clock.
The remains will rest on the veranda,
from where the addresses will be made

WASHINGTON. July IA. B. Hulit
Of Missouri, who is now in Washington
on his way TO Europe for a cargo Of

method of feeding infants in the United
States. Hulit has been in Chicago
where. with the aid of prominent phy-

which have convinced him that tuber-
culosis cannot be transmitted by goats
milk. He estimates that but 20,00O,0O0
goats will be required to afford enough
milk for the babies of the United
States.
There are at present about 100000
goats in the country. Multi is setting
about the task of increasing that num-
Der by 100000 and his visit to Wash
ington was for the purpose of arrang-
ing TO have a large number of these
animals imported free OF duty under
the provision of the Dingley act per-
mitting free importation of animals
brought into the United States for
breeding purposes.
Incidentally, in discussing his plans,
Hulit told what a great thing it would
be if the goat industry could be es-
tablished in the United States. He
said it would give employment to more
persons than are employed by the
United States Steel Corporation and
there was splendid profit to be made in
selling goats milk at 10 cents quart
Hulit will visit several European
countries in search of a hardy breed
Of goats best adapted to introduce into

will find the most satisfactory animals
