An important bill is now pend
ing before the lower House of
the Legislature, introduced by
Representative Turner of Car
roll county, forbidding the mar
riage of white to one who has
any per cent of negro blood
whatever, no matter how small
the infusion. Section 263 of the
State Constitution declares that
"the marriage of white person
with a negro or mulatto, or a
person who shall have one-eighth
or more of negro blood, shall be
unlawful and void" in other
words, when one has only one
sixteenth of negro blood, as far
as the Constitution goes, he or
she is entitled to marry pure
white. The bill of Mr.. Turner
extends the principle to the limit,
by declaring that no matter how
little negro blood one may have,
if it can be detected or known,
no marriage with a white person
is valid.

The Eye ON the chinese junk.

The Eye ON the Chinese Junk.
Few people know why Chinese junks
have an eye painted on the port side of
the bow. A Cantonese legend explains
the origin of that singular custom in a
way that is suggestive of Anglo-Saxon
humor.
A great Chinese mandarin who lived
centuries before the Christian era, find
ing himself in need of navy, sent for
the royal boat builder and ordered him
to build a certain number of ships. So
the builder drew up plans and present
ed them to the mandarin. But the
plans evidently did not suit his majes-
ty, for he few into a violent rage and
ordered the boat builder from his pres
ence.
'"Then how shall 1 build them, your
celestial highness? he pleaded.
Thereupon the mandarin drew off one
Of his slippers and threw it at the boat
builder, who fled from the room. At
the door he turned for a moment just
in time to catch the mandarin winking
at his prime minister
The boat builder picked up the royal
slipper and used 1t as model and then
painted one eye on its bow to represent
the royal masters wink.

Only Two Birthdays In Sixteen Years
Not one person in many thousands
but who celebrates a birthday once
year, and when this eagerly looked
for day comes but once in four years
it seems a long, long time, especially
with little folks. But how about a
birthday that comes only once in eight
years?
Miss Pauline Stone, who lives in
Seven Hills, was born Feb. 90, 1888,
and, although she will be sixteen years
of age next February, she has had
only two birthdays-in 1892 and 1896
The year 1900 would have been leap
year but for the fact that it was a
centennial year not Invisible by 400,
and therefore February had but TWEEN
ty-eight days, and Miss Stone had no
birthday. 1t is interesting to remem-
Der that since the beginning of the
Christian era only four centennial
years have been leap years. Next
February, however, will give the young
lady birthday, and she is looking for
ward to the time with great interest
