Bishop Brown on the Negro.

At therecent Episcopal Council held in Newport, Bishop Brown in his ad- dress before that body spoke as follows on the negro:
 Bishop Browns address. in part, was as follows:
 The American negro can never do anything great until, so to speak, he get. through school and strikes out for himself. While he remains with us, and this probably will be, and for his own good ought to be, two or three hundred years longer. he will always be overshadowed by the white man. and he will be kept down and depress- ed by the hardships and prosecutions which through all history have been the lot of every people who have been situated as he is. At present one of ms great defects IS ms lack of race pride. This defect must be corrected before there can be any outlook and hope for the race. But this cannot be accomplished without sel-government
 "Now. inasmuch as political self government for race situated as the American negro is, always has been, and ever will be. impossible and out of the question, the only field in which he can get off by himself and try his hand at sell government is the cc- clesiastical field.
 With the negro. religious self government must necessarily come first; and. for that matter. ii generally has come first in the case of the other race. IL was certainly so with the Jews. and 1t has teen more or less so with ourselves. The Jews never

Brinklsy's Union Depot.

Back in the '7o's when Brinkley was but little village with but one railroad. the present depot building was built ana possibly 1t was good enough then but Now-NOW we have a growing and prosperous little city. with ten or fifteen times as many peo- pie and three big systems of railroads diverging out into 6 different direc- tions. with 25 to 30 passenger convey ing trains a day.
 Now. we are growing and there Is an air of progress and general improve ment. Now, we have a new Brinkley and on every side the spirit of prog ress is in evidence.
 The present old bum shack has served its day and there Is unani- nous clamor on the part of our citi- zenship as well as the travelling public at large, for new union station for Brinkley.
 Generally speaking. it is the rail- roads that are leading in this spirit of progression as they rightly should be. Our people are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars in beautify- ing and improving the town and if they will unite in an earnest effort the railroads will no doubt do their part by removing the disgraceful old eye sore of station and give us one in keeping with our growth and impor- tance as railway point
 A committee of representative citi- zens to take the matter up and push it with the railroads. can accomplish the purpose.

A Cotton Picker.

In the May 5th number of the Scientific American appears an illus trated article by William Dale describ- ing cotton picker invented by Geo. A Lowry. This picker was given a test the latter part of the 1905 cotton season in the fields of North Carolina and Alabama and the article claims that the machine is practical; that in one day 5000 pounds of cotton were picked at a total cost of SAYS.
 The machine is constructed on wheels of the traction pattern and utilizes gasoline power both for propel- ling and operating. It has hollow. dir igible arms supplied with rapidly re- volving spindle-like attachments. These arms are operated by boys who direct the arms to, come in contact With the cotton. AS soon as the spindles, or teeth of one of these arms touches bole of cotton, the cotton is at once extracted and conveyed by a belt, to which the spindles CT teeth are attached, up to sacks provided to recieve the cotton. Only the open boles are picked, a point in which it is claimed every other machine hereto lore has failed.
 II is predicted Of this machine that 1t will take the same rank in harvest : ing cotton that the reapers and bind ers have taken in harvesting grain.

What Denatured Alcohol Is.

"A bill is uow before Congress for free alcohol in the denaturalized form. This bill has passed the house and Is now in the Senate and the result will be test of the relative strength in that body of the people versus Stand ard OH.
 DenaturaLzed alcohol Is common alcohol made undrinfabie by the ad- dition of some poisonous substance. usually about 2'a per cent of crude wood alcohol. Its use in this form is then allowed for purposes of manufac- ture, heat. light and power free from any but the slightest tax. It is not made in this country because our laws impose tax of $2.08 upon every gal lion of grain or common alcohol made based upon o5 per cent proof spirit. and this tax bars its use for all indus trial purposes where cheaper substi- tuies can be found.
 Common alcohol can be made very cheaply from any of the grains. sugar cane. potatoes. bects. fruits. and the by-products of the beet and cane su gar mills. A bushel of corn will pro duce from two and one-half 10 three gallons. bushel of wheat about two and one-half gallons, bushel of po- tatoes three and one-half quarts; and { the stalks that grow a bushel of corn if they could be handled economically would yield more than the grain. At .present prices of materials it could be l. sst on the market at IS cents per gallon.

no chance for scarcity or nanipula- ton of prices by trust. For use in gasoline stoves. of which there are over 800. 900 in this country. it would be as effective as gasoline, infinitely safer and with nc chance for explosion.
 In lamps for household use 1t would come into universal use as 1t produces light of about three times the candle power of kerosene but requires lamp of special construction that could not be made as cneaply as the ordinary glass oil lamp. The lamps in use in Germany and France cost from g upward. It could not be used in the ordinary oil or kerosene lamp nor would it supercede their use. When oil can be bought at from 10 to l2 cents per gallon and algood lamp for quarter. nothing can be cheaper ex- cept natural gas and daylight.
 To the farmer denatured alcohol would an increased market for his grains. lower prices upon many things like paints. varnishes, vehicles. furniture, etc. There would be mo- table increase in manufactures and so larger population to feed.
 In the manufacturing world there are many processes that depend upon the use of alcohol. In this country resort is had to wood alcohol because it is cheaper and answers the purpose fairly well. but it is really inferior in most respects. The refined wood al- cohol costs about 70 cents persgallon and is in the hands of a trust. As a result our manufacturers are barred from the markets of the world in pro- ducts into which alcohol enters as a factor. Competing nations with 10 or IS cent free alcohol at command af- ford us no chance in competition. Especially is this apparent in the man ufacture ot varnishes, stains and lac quers.
 Grain alcohol i. the best known SOL vent for the gums like copal. shellac and others that are used in this line. Our makers use wood alcohol per force and We pay Sl.75 per gallon for varnish that Germany with free grain alcohol puts upon the market for so cents. and this is just one instance among many that could be cited.
 England. Germany. France, Russia, Austria and so on down to little Cuba all have denaturized alcohol, and the United States is the only nation of any account that denies to itself this source of industrial wealth
 Our sole sources ot mechanical power come from the waterfall. coal and petroleum and the two latter are in the hands of the trusts. Yet the corn fields. wheat fields, cane fields, and all the rampant plant life around US is tecming with force ready at command 10 turn our wheels. to light and heat cur homes. and to help along in the struggle of life in thousands ways" 1"

Distributing Wealth.

Why there should be Woodworking
poor men and idle rich men in the same
community is question which no one
has answered and no one can answer
satisfactorily. That is why the opin-
ion is so prevalent that the world
economically considered, Is so very
much out of joint. But although there
is so much unanimity in the opinion
that wealth ought not to be distributed
as it now is. there is still wide di-
versity of opinion where there is any
definite opinion at all as to how it real
~ ought to be distributed. These opin-
ions may, however be reduced to three
fundamentally distinct theories, which
l shall call the aristocratic. the social
istic and the democratic, or liberalistic,
theories. The aristocratic theory is
shat the good things of the world be-
long more particularly to certain
groups or classes than to others By vir-
tue of some circumstance connected
with their birth or heredity and indie
pendently of their individual achieve
ments. The socialistic theory is that
wealth ought to be distributed accord
ing to needs or according TO some sim
liar plan arranged beforehand and in
dependently of the individual ability
to acquire wealth in the rough and
ready struggle of 2ife. The democratic,
or liberalistic, theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness or worth.-T.

Your love cannot be.

But onward still the tuber came
And lay down at her feet

And 1t will smell as wheat,
And I. too. am an early rose,
And you I've come to see,
So don't turnip your lovely nose
But spinachat with me-"

And let us. pray, have peas,
Go: think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh:
Too long maiden have been
For favors in your rye"
"Ah. spare a cuss!" the tuber PRAYED
My cherryshed bride youn be.
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me-"
And as the willy tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise
And, giving her an artichoge,
Dsvoured her with his eyes.
