The Negro In Springiiel

Charleston News and Courier
 Mayer Francke i.loa Wi Diekinson of of welcome to the African Methodist Episcopal Convention. which met in that city last week., and over, which customed dignity. In the course of his address Mayor Dickinson said:
 Your work among the negro race opport tunities. am sure that you re alize better than I can tell you what they are and how to meet them. do feel. however. that one way to help materially. Anything that tends to bring them to the high plane of physi- cal life will, l believe, have a ten dency to make them more susceptible to those influences that make for bet ter spiritual life"
 That was very well said, but we are wholly in the dark IS to what impress sion the Mayors remarks made upon the convention. Some one of the breth- ren in black ought to have asked him what steps have been taken in Spring town materially. There are only 1,250 of them, but according to the Rev. w. H. DeBerry they have been the victims of the most cruel industrial ostra- by the white people of ngfield. They are confined to the most menial employments, are not permitted to live in the respectable parts of the town and are treated with the utmost cru city by all their white neighbors. The philanthropists of Springfield are all ways ready to handle the negro ques- tion in other parts of the country, but they have passed oyer their own race question without giving 1t the least dustrial and spiritual uplifting of this unfortunate race.
 Bishop Arnett and his colored clergy and laymen lost an opportunity If they permitted the welcoming address of the Mayor of Springfield to pass with out a practical application of the truths expressed by him to the local condi- tions in Springfield.

Mrs.'L. o. Law Shows How the Burden
 of the Farmers Wife May he
 Lightened.
 The traveller through fields of corn and grain In such States as Kansas, sees from the car windows numerous applications of modern inventive skill to the production of the farmers wealth. and in every county seat he finds large display of machinery for cultivating and harvesting crops He cannot so readily learn to what extent the farmers home has shared in the general advance. Out he knows how essential to the farmers happiness must be everything that ministers to the strength and cheerfulness of his partner-the faithful housewife. Thous- ands of farmers wives, in the Great West particularly, will read with in- terest the story of the struggle of one of their number to meet the constant demand upon her strength until she found that she was losing ground in the unequal contest. and must cease to be a helpmate and enter the class or confirmed invalids. if help did not come from some source that would renew her strength.
 Mrs. L. o. Law. of No 324 North Street, Horton, Kan, says: Tn 1897, while we were living on a farm in this neighborhood. I became generally de- 'iAeoeCu. lObt DHy dppctite, SuueTed rom sense of suffocation and from ob- structions of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to re- store 1t. After suffering for months without finding relief. tried a box of pr. Williams Pink Pills which I had seen advertised in a newspaper The first few boxes made me lots better. and after using the third box I felt entirely well. About two years after ward I ran down again and immediate ly resumed taking the pills. In two months l was fully restored to vigor and have held the gain ever since. I am now in excellent health and am not only able to take care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Pink Pills have helped me every time I have taken them. They deserve to be re- comended. They are so simple so cas- fly taken and so prompt in their action. I have said this to many already and am glad to say 1t to still more.''
 This remedy. being in the form of A pill. is manifestly free from alcohol, against which so much has been print ed. and it is guaranteed to contain noth- ing that can injure the most delicate constitution. The pills can be obtain ed from all druggists and at most gem eral stores

ANOTHER MOTOR ANNOUNCED.

Periodically, or oftener. we are treated to more or less detailed an- nouncements that some one has discov- cred or invented wonderful motor or power that Is destined to rsyolutionize the world. as they express it. Just about thirty years ago, John W. Keeley. of Philadelphia, announced the most wonderful discovery of the age. By pome process of combining air and wa Ger. he could develop unheard-of power It a trifling cost. With but drop or two of water. he could run machine or Hbrform work that was apparently inn possible. The "Keeley Motor became the wonder of the day, and the curious thing about 1t was that 1t actually seemed to do what was claimed for 1t. His machine was visited by thousands. and good mechanics and engineers ex- amined 1t and pronounced 1t real They could not understand or explain 1t. but they declared that 1t did all that its Inventor claimed for It.
 We'll, after years of exploitation, and after coining immense sums for its pro- motor, the bubble burst, as all bubbles are likely to do in the end. The truth came out. and 1t was found that the whole thing was fake of the boldest kind. Keeley had not discovered a new power or a new method of creating power Ills machine did produce won derful results, and the people were humbugged. for all the power his motor gave out was secretly conveyed to it from hidden apparatus attached to 1t in such way that no one could detect it. 1t was just as if man should drive a sewing machine by a hidden electric current and humbug people into believ- ing that the machine was running itself There came a time when Kee- lcy's machine was uncovered, the out side source of power exposed, and the greatest humbug and fraud of the age was laid bare. But he made 1t pay, and the American people again demon- strated the fact that they like to be humbugged.
 We have been led to these reflections and "reminiscences by seeing the an nouncement that n New Jersey man who has invented or perfected a motor 'that will revolutionize the power plants of the world" That has a de- cidedly familiar sound, as does the statement that with two quarts of wa ter he can develop fifty horse power and maintain 1t twenty-four hours. Then we have that other familiar sounding announcement that the cost of operating the motor will be practi- cally nothing" .s.:
 It all sounds Keeleyish. but we sup pose 1t will have its way for time, We cannot declare positively and dogmati- cally that it is all a humbug, for some wonderful discoveries are made in this day of progress and invention. and 1t is possible that there Is something in this. but all must admit that 1t sounds fishy. If the claim It's made good it amounts to having all the power one wants at almost no expense whatever. Is it an- other case of Keeley?

The difference between the size of counties In Georgia and Alabama is shown by the fact that in the former State the average area is 43S square miles. while in Alabama the average IS e71. That does not show the whole dis parity, however, for while no county ill this State has less than 800 square miles. there are nineteen in Georgia or less than 200 square miles area. and one has less than 100 And yet they have a hot fight now in favor of creating sew eral more new ones. Evidently cur neighbors want to get it down 50 that a man who has to attend court can go home to his meals.

ALABAMA TEACHERS.

It is gratifying. to know that ing to keep abreast of all educational movements Few people ever. stop to think how much of a teachers yearly tinued preparation for work We doubt if any other public employees spend one-half as much of their sala- ries in better preparation for work as the teachers of the country.

THE ANNUAL HARVEST.

For the next two or three weeks the papers will be filled with gruesome de- tails and accounts of accidents and fa- talities in connection with the Fourth of July festivities. The pity of 1t is that most of the suffering will be on the part of little children who are ig- norant of the death dealing qualities of modern fireworks. Eyes injured or ruined. fingers blown of, hair singed, and. most horrible of all the suffering and death from the dread lock-jaw All these accounts will form a portion of our daily reading for several weeks.
 We would like to know what constit- uent of modern fireworks it Is that car ries death with 1t. Fifty years ago, or such a matter, there were celebrations. of the Fourth much as now, except that there were no such numbers and varie- ties of fireworks as now There were crackers and other noise breeders, and men and boys fired them. but aside from the accidents occurring at the time there were rarely any serious results, Tetanus was hardly heard of in connec- the great and dark shadow hanging over the holiday season. Whether the microbe of tetanus had not then ap- peared, or whether there Is something in the explosives now used that causes lock jaw, we are not able to say. but we do know that we may expect to read of hundreds of cases of it as d re- suit of careless handling of explosives.
