IN the hope of getting returns In negro

Tho negroes should, as Fred Douglass
advised, separate themselves among all

South. that he is fair to al sections and

Bob Taylor says, as different as hot
biscuits is from cold bread for which
both sides are thankful. There is and
over will be 4 North and a South. The
Southern men and women believe that the
Republican party of the North favor
social. civil. and political equality of the
negrocs of the South with the whites,
hence the sensitiyeness of the whites and
their quickness to act, to suppress the
rising tendency Of the educated negro to
demand or TO expect equality in all
forms"

EARLY MOUND BUILDERS.
Evidence Now shows They Wer,
Indians of the West.

Indians OF the west
From Records Of the Past.
Mound builders of the Mississippi Val
ley. in the manner OF burial of their
dead, were in close touch with those~of
the valley of the Ohio, and had something
in common with them, embracing the
ideals displayed in the ancestor worship
of the oriental as well as antedating the
custom of setting a granite shaft as a
mark Of respect over the graves Of our
departed at the present time.
Formerly, mound builders were sUpp0s-
ed to have become an extinct race, Oc-
cupying the territory in which these nu-
merous burial mounds are found, prior
TO its occupancy by the North American
Indians In the light Of more recent and
more thorough investigation, it has been
shown that burial Of the dead in mounds
vas practiced by the MUskawakies of the
Foxes. who occupied the territory up to
and including some Of the time when the
first white people settled in the Upper
Mississippi Valley.
The former erroneous suppOsitiOn came
about principally through the uncOmmuni-
| cativeness Of the Indian. When ques-
| toned concerning the mounds and their
contents. ne would invariably act the
stole, for, according to his ideas OF an
| eestor worship, the subject was held sa-
cred. and was not to be touched upon,
nor were any of the belongings which had
/ been buried with him ever in any man
ner to be used again by any living man.
/ For this reason when shown flint arrow
| or spear heads. they would profess is-
1 nOranee. and insist that they We're there
before the arrival of the Indian.

HINDOOS CAUSE RIOTS.
New Race Question Arises in Far
West over Imported Labor.


West over Imported Labor.
A Spokane. Wash. special says: Race
riots are imminent at Bellingham. this
State. as the result of an invasion Of
HindOos, who have crossed the border
from British Columbia and are seeking
employment in lumber camps at s. d
day. just half the amount heretofore
paid to white men for similar work
These Hindoos say that they were re-
ceiving less than cents a day for work
in India and that they suffered so acutely
from starvation that they were unable to
earn more. In America they have found
an abundance to eat and have reveled in
affiuenCe. They have sent glowing accounts
OF their good fortune TO their country
men, and il is reported that every steam
or crossing the Pacific from the Orient is
loaded 10 the guards with the swarthy
Hindoos. They have established them
selves in shacks at Bellingham and live

by a Lynchburg Young Woman.

The Richmond Dispatch CORE
spondent at Lynchburg. Va. says that
Miss Maud Walker was hostess at the
home of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. R. S
Walker, in a unique and probably one
OF the most interesting social functions
of the season The occasion was a long
distance telephone party. in which the
guests conversed with friends in all parts
of the United States from the Atlantic
10 the Pacific, and from the Great Lakes
TO the Gulf The engagements for the
conversations were pre-arranged and ev-
erything passed off as smoothly as an or
binary business conversation much to the
pleasure and profit Of the guests. Four
telephones were installed in the residence
for the occasion, and for two or three
hours they were in constant use. The
conversations most remote from Lynch
burg were persons at Portland, Greg
Jacksonville, Fla; Ann Arbor, Mich:
Providence, r. l. Galveston. Tex: BOs-
ton. Mass. and many other such points
The guests also engaged in euchre dur
ing the evening, while light refreshments
were also served.
