Negroes Paradise.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch
There is noplace on this earth quite
SO sweet to the average negro as the
city ofWashington. 1t is a negro par
adise, a promised land to those
who long to come and those who
arrive have to admit it's land OF
fulflment. The negro has all his
rights here and some more. He gen
orally manages to occupy rather more
than the space a passenger is expect
ed to take in q street car, and he
needs more room on the sidewalk
than is taken by the Anglo-Saxon. |
have frequently seen every white man
standing in a car in order that the
women may have seats, and at the
same time several women hanging on
to straps, while big, strong negroes
had comfortable seats. | have often
seen negro men in Washington keep
their seats when white women enter
ed a crowded car, and allow them to
stand, though every white man was
on his feet.
But when a negro woman entered
the darkies would rise at once and
| offer their seats TO their dusky femi-
ninity. The regular visitor to the
departments, where the corridors
are crowded with sleek, well fed negro
messengers, not one OF whom aggre-
gates one days work in the course OF
a month, comes to feel contempt
for the negro who is constantly on
the lookout for such positions where
the pay is good and the duties are
light. But the negro is not SO much
to blame as the party that puts him
on the government payroll without
requiring services in return.

"Our Women in the War;
Charleston News and Courier.

The North Carolina exchanges that
reached the office of the News and
Courier yesterday brought with them
an interesting supplement, entitled
"Our Women in the War" The edi-
tor of the supplement was Miss Mamie
Bays, of Charlotte, and the proceeds
from the sale of the paper will be de-
voted to establishing a suitable me-
mortal to the Women of the Confed-
eracy. The editor says cit is to the
earnest and untiring efforts of Gen.
c. Irwin Walker, of Charleston, s. c.,
more than to any other one person,
that the publication of these supple
ments has been madepossible.' - They
have already been issued in several
States, and when the volume of them
is completed they will record the
deeds OF the women of Atlanta,
Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia.
Miss Bays and her co-laborers have
done their work exceedingly we'll in
North Carolina. The paper that they
have issued contains sixteen large
and admirably printed pages that
TEEN with interesting historical
sketches of the work of the heroic
women of the Old North State dur
ing the war between the sections. A
copy of it cannot fail to interest a
veteran OF that great struggle, no
matter in what part of the South he
lives. Miss Bays and her associates
are entitled to the congratulations
and to the gratitude of the public.
They have accomplished most admir-
ably an exceedingly worthy task.

May Have Been Turning Point IN Boys
Career.

Enfield Ledger.
The execution of Dan Teachey has
brought out an incident in his child
hood which shows how the indulgence
and affection of a parent may iniure
the child. A gentleman, now an edi-
tor, vas teaching school, Dan being
one of his pupils and being disobedi-
ent and intractable one day the
teacher had to correct him. The
next day Dams mother came to the
school house and after giving the
teacher tongue lashing took her
son from the school. 1t is possible
this incident was the turning point in
the boys career. Had the teacher
been sustained by the parent and the
boy taught proper respect for con
stituted authority his downward ca
reer and end on the gallows might
have been avoided. The very first
principle instilled into a child's mind
should be the necessity of obedience
to the law. From the want OF this
teaching come many of the crimes
committed in our country.

Booker Washington's Folly.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive
In view of the uniformly good ad-
vice which Booker Washington has
given his race regarding social equal
itv pretensions and maintaining
friendly relations with the whites, one
is at loss to understand the latest
escapade of which he has been guilty.
We refer, of course, to the affair at
Saratoga Springs the other day when
Washington was a guest OF John
Wanamaker at dinner and acted as
escort for Wanamaker's daughter,
Mrs. Barclay WarburtOn. 1t may
be said that it is hard for Washing
ton to refuse to eat with these North
ern white people or to escort these
Northern white women-whO look on
him as a curiosity, much as wewould
some prominent Indian leader, and
do not understand that they are
playing with powder: not as regards
themselves, but as regards their
brethren and sisters of the South who
have the hard task OF dealing fairly
with an inferior race and yet main
tanning at all hazards the purity OF
the Caucasian blood.
The people of the South wish to
support Booker Washington. He
has the right ideas about training
black men. He lays emphasis on
character and industry. He is dis
couraging the negro's meddling in
politics. But" to quote the Rich.
mond Times -Dispa atch-itself a friend
OF the negro and of negro ed
ucation, as we are-''it goes without
saying that Southerners are not 60
ing to give aid and encouragement
to the head of a negro school who
teaches social equality, either by pre-
cept or example
Booker Washington himself has
sense enough. but his fool friends may
vet ruin him, if he isn't careful.

The Senatorship.
Wilmington Messenger.

DlceScuSeE
The question as to Senator Sim
mons successor is being raised again.
The publication has been made that
Mr.. Aycock's friends are already at
work for him. The Messenger pub
lished editorially in the latter part OF
last May that it had the statement
of gentleman, who said he had been
told a few days before by Mr.. Ay-
cock that he would not be an oppon-
ent of Mr.. Simmons in the latter s
candidacy for reelection. The cleo
tion will not take place until January,
1907. That is a long time off, and
Mr.. Aycock may change his mind
under pressure by his friends, who
may now be arranging for and organ
izing to bring the pressure to bear
upon him.
There is no telling what changes
may take place in the next eighteen
months. 1t is quite likely that there
will be several senatorial candidates
in the field when election time comes
around. Whether Mr.. Aycock will be
candidate or not it is more than
likely that Senator Simmons will
have opposition and strong opposi-
tion at that. 1t might be that ex-
Senator Jarvis would like to finish
out his unexpired term, which ex-Sen-
ator Pritchard cut short in 1895, and
there will probably be others. In fact,
we may feel pretty sure that the
| woods are full of men in the east who
would be willing to succeed Senator
Simmons and who think themselves
perfectly competent to do, SO that it
