THE SENATOR FROM BUCKING-

We regret to state that the great
Negro county OF Buckingham has

being rid OF one of the most remark
able characters of this day and gen

him TO the legislature. Although
he viii be absent from that section
of the state for only a month Or so,
it is thought that every thing will
look up and prosper for that length
OF time.
We refer of course 10 the Hon.
Camm Patterson, who occupies a
seat in the state senate only a few
blocks away from this Office. II the
average reader will place a capital
letter d in his first name and read
It Damn" Patterson instead Or

describe the feelings Of the average
"cussing brother" who noted his Gu
rious action on last Tues. The Rich
mond, Va. News-Leader deemed the
Senator a AT subject for an interview
and at once proceeded TO give the
views of the apostle of Gov. James
X. Vardaman 10 the public. It
said.
Senator Camm Patterson, OF Buck
ingham, viii offer a bill TO divide
the school funds of the State in pro-
portion TO the amount paid by the
whites and blacks. The measure
which he has prepared proposes to
have the white people pay for their
schools and TO let the Negroes do
the same.
Senator Patterson was seen in
regard 10 the matter and readily
discussed the proposition. He has
made a study OF the question and is
prepared TO give the result Of his
research and reading. He said:
Il have prepared a bill TO divide
the school funds of the State II
is a fair bill. and IL proposes to
keep separate the amounts paid by
the Negroes from that paid by the
whites.

pended $142, 100000 for the edu-

has been practically wasted. II was
the duty OF the white people TO give
for a generation the benefits OF ed
ucation TO the Negro. What has
been accomplished IN that time is
known 70 all.
The attempt to educate the Ne
gro has been a dismal failure. IL
has been tried before in Africa, and
the results there were duplicated
in this country. The thirty-three
years of education for the Negro
expired in 1898, and we are still
pouring our money into the vain al
tempt 10 educate him.
ut Is our duty TO educate our
own children before we undertake
TO educate aliens. That is the high
est duty of man. Surely the Ne

what he pays for. He gets equal
rights. He can no longer expect 10

ing up to the effective point.
A deep and impressive silence fol-
lowed. Again waving his arms, he called
in voice of thunder: "Who is Clement
E. Staples?"
The silence was more pronounced and
the effect greater. The audience was
visibly impressed. Before attempting
to dwell upon the good quality of his
candidate, the speaker again proclaimed
in a voice that carried to every par
of the large hall: Il say, who is Clemen

Very well, here goes, them" said the
revenue man, and he started. He SHOW
eled away till he got pretty black, and
then he gave up and sent ashore for a
couple of men. They came and SHOW
eled, and between them they bunged up
the stoke hole with coal, and the reek
Of tobacco grew stronger. Then night
fell, and the revenue man stayed his
hand till the morrow.
Next morning he turned up afresh
with more helpers, and they hove coal
about all day, out of the stoke hole on
to the deck in bags and buckets. The
Rathcoole grew black all over, as ships
i'll the agonies Of coaling always do, and
finally, as evening fell again, the revenue
crew fetched up on the bottom of the
bunkers, which were damp with sticky
liquid that reeked aboninally of stale
tobacco. Then said the revenue officer
to Billy, who was calmly cycling the FIN
fishing touches, what on earth, or the
waters under the earth, is this liquor;
and why, in heavens name, does it smell
of nicotine this way?"
ooh, that replied Billy, that's an
idea Mckay picked up in New Orleans
for coal saver You just buy tobacco
sweepngs, boil en- down, pour liquor
over your coal, and there you are. See
the way it's saved our coal this trip"
"Then why in he'll didn't you tell ME
that before?" frantically demanded the
revenue man.
Because you asked me whether had
tobacco aboard, which had not, and you
swore had Anyhow, you never asked
where the smell came FROM" asserted
Billy. "And now" he continued, you'll
kindly put that coal back and clean my
ship aftcrward."
And, reluctantly, that revenue officer
set his men to work, and they put the
coal back, cleaned the ship to Billy's sat
isfaction, and departed woefully. Then
Billy sent in claim for more wealth
for unjust detention in port. And he
got it. and that's how he got even with
the revenue-at least, that is how Billy
Treharne says he did it.
