A man that starts an enterprise these
days can always depend upon having
competition. Human nature is such
that it cannot stand to see any one
make money without all attempt to
come in and share it
HaEe you ever noticed it that a

finger has more trouble to keep her
hair up and in order than one who
wears none? It's fact. Watch and

Henry Lomax, colored, Thursday. at
work for Mr.. A. A. Bishop, was kicked
by colt, the result being peculiar.
He struck the negroes toe with his foot,
tearing open his shoe. gliding on up his
leg and striking his hip severely, max
ing the worst hurt at the hip. The
negro required treatment from doctor
and was haul4d home and put to bed
1t looked as if it was lightning in place
of colt that struck him.
The average educated man gets a
salary of $1,000 year. he works forty
years, making a total of $4,000 in a
lifetime. The average day laborer gets
81 80 day 800 days in year, or $3.50
in year. In forty years he earns
$4,000 The difference or 500 900,
equals the value of an education. To
acquire twelve years at school of 1870
days each, or 2, 100 days. Divide 500 900
by 2,l60 and il is found that each day
at school is worth little more than
$40 to the pupil.
At the Brumby Chair Factory last
week Jesse Carter hit Will Martin with
chair post making an ugly wound.
Both were negroes. Policeman Morris
arrested them and the Mayor fined
them both. He also arrested Charley
Martin for vagrancy and the mayor
imposed fine of five dollars. Since
then Mr.. Morris arrested for lettering
Warren Brownlee andbJesse McMicken,
colored, both of whom were fined $500
each by the mayor. Policeman Morris
is proving very efficient officer and
deserves credit for trying to break up
vagrancy.
A man is poor when he has the lost
confidence of friends, when people near
to him do not believe him, when his
character is honey-combed by deceit
punctured by dishonesty. He is poor
when he makes money at the expense
of his character, when principle does
not stand clear cut, supreme in his
ideas. When this is clouded he is in
danger of the worst kind of poverty
to be in the poor house is notlnecessari-
ly to be poor. If you have maintained
your integrity, if your character stands
four-square to the world, if you have
never bent the knee Of principle to
avarice, you are not poor.
