instincts you will be sure to throw
them into society that in some meas
ure can supply the end of their hearts.
They go to the public house at first
for the animated and hilarious COM
panionship they find there which they
find does so much to repress the dis
turbing restlessness in their breast.
See to it, then, that their homes
compete with public places in their
attractiveness. Open your blinds by
day and light bright fires by night.
Illumine your rooms. Hang pictures
upon the wall. Put books and news
papers upon your tables. Have music
and entertaining games. Banish
demons of dullness and apathy that
have so long ruled in your household,
and bring in mirth and good cheer.
Invent occupations for your sons.
Stimulate their ambitions in worthy
directions. While you make home
their delight, fill them with higher
purposes than mere pleasure. Wheth-
er they shall pass happy boyhood and
enter upon manhood with refined
tastes and noble ambitions depends
upon you.-Ram's Horn.

The Hasty Case.

The case of George, Hasty, who was
convicted of killing two theatrical
men at Gaffney and recommended to
the mercy of the court, which was
appealed, will be heard before the
supreme court in December. The
brief in the case has been printed and
it contains 221 pages.
The public is familiar with the kill
ing Of the theatrical men of the
Nothing But Money! company in
Gaffney last year by Hasty and the
sensational trial that followed. After
the verdict had been rendered the at
torneys for Hasty appealed from the
decision of the lower court. In the
event the supreme court grants new
trial the case will be heard at the
spring term of the court of sessions OF
Cherokee county.

Our Duty to Cuba.

Now, as we should not think of ac-
quiring Danish, or British, or French
territory in the West Indies without
the consent of the present sovereign
ty, why think of acquiring Cuban
territory on any other terms? Cuba
could not resist US should force in
spire US, but if we employed force for
annexation purposes the case would
be one of bad faith and cowardice.
The authority for our presence in
Cuba is the Platt amendment; but
that has no word about annexation.
Our power under that is only to re-
store order, and when that has been
accomplished we must retire. Only
the request of the Cuban people, made
without pressure from outside sources
and especially sources pointing to
the Sugar Trust, the Tobacco Trust,
and would-be Lottery Trust-should
move us to consider for moment the
question of Cuban annexation.
It is nothing to the point, as urged,
that, in our place, Great Britain, or
France, or Germany, or Russia, would
take a different course, unless we con-
slider, as we may, that some of the
very people most anxious for Cuban
annexation have been loud in the de-
nunciation of those countries as rob-
bers and land pirates. Apparently
they would be glad to see the United
States incur the odium they have so
freely poured over transatlantic
powers.-Washington Star.

CARD FROM
EDITOR JACKSON.
Explains His Statement in Regard to
"a State of Unrest Among the Ne.
qroes of Columbia.

To the Editor of the State:
In this mornings issue of your val
liable paper, you editorially referred
to a statement taken from our paper,
The Sun, in which you asked, "Why
a state of unrest?'
In view of the recent regrettable af-
fair in Atlanta, which must move US
all to concern, who love our fair
Southern homes and are working for
peace, harmony and prosperity; and
in view of the letters from the Revs.
Carroll and Adams 20 your paper, the
one predicting a like occurrence to
follow in Columbia and stating that
but few days previous, he predicted
the Atlanta tragedy; while the other
would have the city authorities dis
turb those few negroes engaged in
business Though it be the humble
choice of restaurant keeping) the good
negroes are enquiring how long be-
fore such wild predictions and such
unwarranted meddling will disturb the
excellent relations here between the
excellent relations here between the
races?
In consideration of the general good
behaviorof the negroes hereabouts,
which has maintained this relation,
we join with you in the expression
that: eff there is community in this
country, South or North, in which the
negroes have less cause for unrest
than those of Columbia we do not
know it, And upon that faith, long
since expressed, we invited the dis
satisfied, good negroes Of Springfield,
Ohio, to come to South Cardinals
capital and our country for protection
and industrial opportunity.
A few of us protested to Rev. Car
roll because of his Misrepresentation
lof our community and for aiding in
bringing about this unwarranted un-
rest, but.when he informed us that he
was prophet and was not surprised
at our being unable to see things as
he saw them, we were compelled to
leave him and all others who think as
does he, to brood over the idol of their
own fertile imaginations.
That we are approaching time
when conditions here will assume the
shape they took in Atlanta, is a fact
neither the black nor the white popu-
lation have indicated viciousness
and weakness to conform to. Atleast
the negroes do not 80 believe. But the
good negroes are working, praying
and hoping foI the best, believing
that in such efforts they are enlisted
side by side with the best white peo-
pie, and they have sworn eternal
vengeance against the criminal and
criminally inclined of their race, and
expect to expose the idle and vicious
wherever found.

THE "DESERTER."

The curtain went up promptly at S;2'
at the Star theater last evening and al
l0:35 it dropped on the final act o1
the prettiest military drama ever pro-
duced on any local stage. The story
told in "The Deserter" Is this: Dad
Hawins (Carl Caldwell) has two sons
Tom boyd 5. Cobb and Jim lien
Brandon). Tom is married and has O
little son Eddie Harold 0lesonl The
trouble starts seven years before the
opening OF the play when Tom marries
Annie Miss Hale), who is also loved
by Willard Hilton wv. D. Fear) Hill
ton announces in the opening Of the
play that Tom has been drafted and
must 20 with the Union army, unless
he can get substitute. His brother
Jim says he will go in his place. Ha, ha,
says Hilton, "You are not Of age" 81
just turned 81 yesterday" says jim.
The villain is foiled, but not for long.
In the second act he claims that Jim
has deserted and Tom goes to take his
brothers place.
The third act is two years later. The
two soldier boys return just as Hilton
has persuaded Annie to think her hus-
band dead and to promise to marry
him. Tom swears to kill him, 81 will,
| will, by God I will" Quick curtain.
In the fourth act Hilton makes his
escape. Tom and Annie are united and
every one is happy.
During the progress of this intense
plot Harry Swift (Ross Birchett) and
Hattie Hewiss (Jane Dorsey have some
very amusing love scenes and are final
Iy made happy by the cleverness of the
Irish girl, Made miss Friel), who in
tercedes for them and obtains every

LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN.

The children of Astoria yesterday
morning took up the duties of their
young lives at the various schools of
the city, after the pleasant hiatus of
the summer vacation; and to the care
full observer they went at the work
cheerfully and eagerly. This is as it
should be. Astoria is providing boun-
tifully and carefully for this great es-
sential and her little men and women

tion land all that means) that usually
belongs to communities of this scope.
There are comfortable and commodious
buildings; corps of highly trained,
conscientious teachers, all inducements
for work and progress and success
among the pupils, and, almost invar-
iably, good homes for them to 90 to
after the tasks of the day are done.
The per centage of non-attendance is
nominal and aHnormally small; in
fact, there is little to criticise in the
ordained course of public school life
in this city. 1t is as carefully guarded
and nurtured, as any phase of local
government in existence here, and the
children are the direct benefciaries of
every detail of the work done by the
board and the teachers, and the stand
ards attained by all concerned are
among the best in the state. We are
inclined to believe these bright young
sters realize the advantages that are
theirs, and that they will make the
most of them in the coming term. If

tween the ocean and the metropolis
especially at this time, when an unan-
imous and rational agreement has been
reached in the matter of the improve
ment Of the bar at the mouth Of the
river, but it begs to suggest that the
delays incident to shipping are not in
gidenous to this point. They are at
tributable to the imperative depths of
the river between here and Portland,
at several specific points, and it is hoped
they will soon be removed by the dred-
ger. As to weather delays, they are
liable to operate at any point in the
hundred mile journey between the bar
and the mouth of the Willamette or
at Portland, as at this point. No ship
goes to sea in threatening or tempes-
tuous weather, unless it is matter of
life and death that she should sail.
The case of the steamship Thyra is in
point. She was held up for three days
because she pounded on the river shoals
en- route from Portland to Astoria, and
had to be surveyed in this port before
her master dared start on his trans
Pacific trip. ANY steamer, or vessel
with draft commensurate with the ex-
listing stage of water on the bar, can
enter and depart hence without any
other delay than that occasioned by the

delays at Astoria. The best Of dispatch
prevails here, for anything that can
safely traverse the bar either way.

that farmers in that neighborhood have
decided to grow no more sugar beets
because of the drudgery connected with
the work. Iowa soil and climate are
well adapted to beets as, in fact, is true
of nearly all the Northwest, but it is
not attractive to farmers to invest too
much spinal column in the crop. It
isn't "too much sugar for cent" but
rather too few cents for the sugar.
