bers The attack comes on suddenly on
every Sunday; no symptoms are felt on
Saturday night; the patient sleeps well
and wakes feeling well; eats a hearty
breakfast, but about church time the at
tack comes on and continues until services
are over for the morning. Then the pa

and is able to take a walk, talk about
politics and read the Sunday papers, he
eats hearty supper, but about church
time be has another attack and stays at
home. He retires early, sleeps well and

Wanamaker. and Booker Washington
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger
We do not believe in mixing busl-
ness with politics, but there are ex-
ceptions to all rules and that disgust
inc affair in the United States hotel
in Saratoga the other day should be
made one 1t is time for the people
of the South to stop sending their
orders orgoods to John Wanamaker
when he has negro as his guest at
dinner at a prominent hotel and al
lows his daughter to be escorted to
the table by that negro. 1t won't
break M. Wanamaker for the people
of the South to withdraw their trade
from him. He may not miss it at all,
but we do not advocate this action
| on their part as a punishment for Mr..
Wanamaker He has right to choose
the associates for himself and daugh-
ter. 1t is no business Of the people
of the South whom he chooses to
make his companions, but they should
show their disgust for such conduct
and their adherence of all such acts
! of social equality by at once severlng
all business relations with this man.
On this subject the Charlotte ChrOni
Gle says:
We are to have another outbreak OF
Booker Washington talk. The present
instance is about the rankest on record.
In it John 'Wanamaker figures as host
and the negro as escort to his daughter
at dinner in swell hotel at Saratoga. \
special dispatch to the Baltimore SUI
tells of it as follows under Sundays
date:
Booker T. Washington's appearance
at dinner in the great dining room OF thu
United States hotelcreated a mild sensa
ton among the diners. Washington wa
the guest of John Wanamaker, forme
postmaster general, and acted as escOr
for Mrs Barclay WarburtOn, Mr.. Wanna
, makers daughter. while Mr.. Wanamake
walked to the table with J. 4. +. Rob
erts. As they walked down the long lin
: every eye was directed upon the group
Comparatively few OF those present rec
| ognized any of them, and there was 1
| general buzz of comment and a cranin
of necks.'
Now let all of us who usually trad
q | with Mr.. Wanamaker in preference t
dealing with home merchants rush tn
= mail order business to high water marx
t ! True. ,Wanamaker does not need on
trade. but we ought to give him man
festation of our appreciation of his negro
J. philism, especially his gallantry in pc
J. hitting negro to escort his daughte

NEGROES NORTH AND SOUTH.
A North Carolina Negro In New York
City Writes His Views to The News
and Observer.

| have very often heard that the
negro is given more privilege and bet
ter protection in the north than III
the south. Well, it is my desire TO
show that it is untrue. While walk
ing across Fifty-third, between Ninth
and Tenth avenues, | met a large
number OF white boys, ranging from
eighteen years up. My hat was taken
and | received few boxes on my
cheeks. The most severe blow was
on nv left arm, which was given with
a very large stick.
Il called an officer to my assist
ance and he only said: ''Did they
hurt you much? They generally do
I'D q coon every once in a while
"Had been in the south and been
held up in just the same way, ourpo-
lice would have found out the reason
why such an assault was made and
if they could not give some just cause
although white, they would have
been punished severely. Il say our
police because l am a southern negro,
a student OF Shaw University
81 have always argued that the
south is the place for US, Tor we are
treated better by the whites down
there than we are in the north. We
have no race riots, because we know
our places. You often hear the
northern negro say: I'VE have no
Jim Crows. We can have anything
we can buy That's it, they can't
buy anything, because they have not
anything but pair decreased pants.
Suppose he did have money like
the southern negro, he might walk
up to the desk in the Astor House or
the Waldorf Astoria, ask for a room
and the clerk would say, twenty dol
lars per day; he would pay for day
or so just to act big. A white man
goes in and gets a room joining his
with bath for ten dollars per day
because he is wanted there and the
negro isn't:
'If one hundred negroes would stoI
at one of the above named hotels

mans one they could very soon buil(
a nice little Jim crow get in it an(
be served the same as the white PEG
pie for the same money!

DEATH OF mERIwETHER LEWIS.
Tragedy that Ever Since has Been
Associated with tine Famous
"Natchez Trace"

One of the famous episodes OF the
..Natchez Trace il thus described by ohm
Swain in the September Ererybodys:
"a century ago there was no more
promising youth in America than Aerl-
wether Levin. After a brilliant career as
O soldier. he had been appointed private
secretary to President Jefferson, and had
shown himself so Trustworthy, so ener-
petic so resourceful, that when Jefferson
determined to make an exploration OF
the great territory he was just purchas-
ing he selected Lewis as the one to ac-
complish 1t. >,
six wears later, in 1909, his brilliant
feat ACCOMPLISHING was even then but
thirty-fve years Old-Lewis left his be-
loved West for the last time and set out
for Washington to confer with the Prest
dent. He crossed the Mississippi at the
Chickasaw Bluffs, where Memphis now
stands, and taking Indian trails south
easterly, struck the Trace at the crossing
of the Tennessee River, in Lauderdale
county. Alabama. He came alone, on
the night Of October / tn, to the stand
ar tavern of Robert Grinder above the
crossing of Little Swan, seventy-tw0
miles from Nashville. A heavy storm
was raging. In the night the women In
an adjoining building heard a shot. In
the morning Lewis was found dying, a
pistol beside him.
Grinder circulated the report that
| Lewis had shot himself, and the explorer
was buried beside the road close to the
| tavern. At Washington, and by many
historians since, Grinders story has beer
believed; but by the settlers OF that vlcln
| itv and by the women who lived Al
Grinders only one opinion was ever en-
tertained-that Grinder had murdered
him for his money. Grinder, at any rate
was known to have money in his posses
| sion after Lewis death He SOLD out hi
| place and moved away. But the fame
| Lewis has been blotted to this day by
| the story that he took his own life in
| fit of melancholia. For forty years hi
grave remained unmarked. Then tn
Tennessee Legislature appropriated nv
hundred dollars for a monument; tn
bones were dug up and identified; an If
regular county, having the grave as 1t
approximate center, was named Lewis
and few acres about the monument Sc
aside for a park Since then nothing ha
been done to care for it, but the broke
column stands as it was placed, besid

Three Killed at Crosaino,
No Man Can Succeed in Business Who
Uses Strong Drink.

Rockefeller at a Prayer Meeting in
Cleveland said this:
Let me importune every one here
to abstain from strong drink. No
matter where we go, we see so much
of the effects of liquor. Homes and
and families are ruined by this curse
alone. Why will men fall victims to
the poison? No man can succeed in
business who uses strong drink, and
no person has a place in better socie-
ty who falls to its power.
Men start out by taking a tipple.
These hot days make summer drinks
inviting to some, so they take a lit
tie. But that little too often proves
little too much, and men get down
to ruination. 1t is that first little
drop that paves the way.
'And right here l can say before
my Maker that never in my life have
| tasted a drop of drink. Even lit
tie has been too much for me to bear
and could not taste drop now. A
little is too much for any man

dersloot has been an invalid for II
years, and not in six years had she
been out of the house. No money had
been spared in the employment Of spe-
cialists, one of Philadelphia having
treated her for three years. None of
the doctors, Mr.. Vandersloot says,
could tell what allied his daughter nor
do her any good. To the surprise of her
parents and their delight she said she
desired to get up and walk. She did so,
and afterwards played on the piano
and sang. Her father says the only
cause to which he can ascribe bis
daughters recovery is the prayers
that have been offered by her numer.
