a Good Game.

10 the best school game ever played
on the home grounds, skowhegan High
defeated Good viii, Saturday afternoon,
at Fairview Park, to I. The locals
went to pieces in the sixth inning allow
ing the visitors to score four runs and
in the next inning Good viii tied the
score. For four innings neither side
could get a run, but in the 18th Skow-
hogan got man across the plate The
feature was the pitching of Abbey, who
struck out 10 men
This game took special interest from
the fact that the previous game, played
at Hinckley several weeks since, was
won by Good VIII. As the High School
year has closed it is not likely that the
Skowhegan team will play again unless
a game can be arranged for them with
the Good Wills on July 4th. Some steps
to bring this about have already been
taken.

He beat his brow upon his dining

dropped YEARLY on his coming

To 60 to her, to tell her all, to
stop the indecent marriage, to cast

RACIAL PURITY.

Speaking of the Argenta riot
ing, Senator Tillman says:
/ need not tell you that the
condition of terror that prevails
in the town across the river from
your city is tn direct result of a
dirty white man fighting with
and killing negro over a negro
skunk. = This is true T h e
trouble started on account of a
white man fighting over a lewd
negro woman. 1t is time for
public opinion in this section to
take steps to prevent white men
from mingling as they do with
negro women. Cursing social
equality many men show their
insincerity and inconsistency
by their own acts. We believe
the two races should be kept
separate and that each should
maintain its own racial purity,
but this cannot be done while
white men in such large num-
bers continue in such shameful
relations with negro women.
Senator Tillman in his lecture in
Little Rock had something t o
say on this phase of the race
question that would have bene-
fitted many white men in this
section if they could have heard
it. Exchange.
The above statement is a very
serious one. but we all know
that it is only too true. The ne
gro question would be reduced
to a minimum if white men would
behave like white men ought.

Death is always a tragedy;
whether it comes to the cradle
and takes away the Youngest, to

question made the startling as
sertion that the negro is naturl-
ally simple and easily managed
until he gets a tinge of the white
mans vicious blood in him.
The white man who goes after
negro baWds is naturally the
lowest type of his own race, and
the offspring, if offspring there
be, is bound to be a brute with
the stupidity of the negro and
the bestiality of the white bum
combined.
Several years ago two negro
boys were Iynched in Louisiana
for shooting and mortally wound
ing a prominent planter who
had sold them the Whiskey on
which they became boisterous. 1t
was an open secret that one of
the boys lynched was the son of
the planter.
The main Characteristic Of a
gentleman is his reverence for
virtuous womankind, and the
white man who descends to the
level of intimacy with a negro
woman is no gentleman, what
ever his education or exterior
polish may be. because by his
conduct he insults the women
Of his own family and race. He
is a blackguard sailing under
false colors and ought to be
driven out of any decent COM
munity.

Uncle Rocker Wilson as he
