One does not have to journey
many miles in any direction in
the country to observe numerous
and unmistakable evidences of
prosperity. The farm houses and
out-buildings are in better repair,
the fences are kept up, white
WASH and paint are more generally
used, new buggies, wagons and
improved farming implements are
in evidence on every hand, young
orchards lave been planted out,
the lands aresbeing reclaimed and
improved, all of which indicate
that everything is onthe upgrade.

members of the Columbia bar Sc

there were over one hundred cases

with 10 business heforesit. Were
the presiding judges more exact

THE MISSISSIPPI BOXERS.

When railroads were first inaugural
ed in China it was necessary to guard
them to prevent the "heathen' from
tearing them up. The Chinese were
fearful that the roads would hoodoc
the ground and themselves too.

constituents are doing the same thing
in the enlightened state of Mississippi
Capt. J. J. White, president of the
Liberty White Branch R. R. thus
states the sentiment of the Mississipp
Boxers:
They objected to the coming OF
railroads because it injured the WACO,
trade and crippled those with teams
who had been hauling logs to market
They regard the railroad as a men

White. but we have come to stay
even if we do hurt the wagon bust
ness Rails have been frequently

est to stay: but the rest OF us will

ASSOCIATED PRESS POLICY.

There are many things to indicate
that the Associated Press has adopted
the policy Of publishing nothing about
the Afro-American people except their
crimes and crookedness. The evident
intent of this plan is to compel the
race to submit uncomplainingly to all
the insult and injustice that may be
heaped upon it.
But the plan is preGestined to fail
ure-the stars in their courses will
light against it. It's certain and evi-
dent result will be a. waving OF the
bloody shirt that will astonish the
world. There never was time in the
history of the nation, when men were
so tired OF gag-laws, party-lashes and
bossism as the present; and any plan
that has villainy as it's foundation has
to run the gauntlet Let it be once
understood that the Associated Press
has entered into an arrangement to
suppress any portion of the legitimate
news, and it will at once be branded
as muZzled OX-a miserable Turnkey

tempt the palate. In the succeeding
airs the manner of preparing food
changed little by little and a certain
fondness for dishes. a trifle bizarre
and grotesque began to be felt The
ways Of the day made many jests
and the street poets earned many an
honest penny from their parodies on
the foolish tastes of-the day. The
coming of the French influence caus.
ed a revolution gastronomically. The
heavy repasts disappeared entirely. A
delicacy of taste made itself felt.
French cooks were imported from
Paris to teach the Milanese, and it is
is due to them that at the present
time, in Italy, Milanese cook is
priced and ranks next to a French
one.
This delicacy of taste was telt

asked him to edit letter, handing

The complaint of scarcity of farm
hands is by no means confined to the
South, but comes from all parts of the
country. In the state of Washington,
this scarcity has caused as much as
$40 per month and board to be offered
for good hands. In consequence of
these great inducements, we read of
carloads of Italians leaving the South
and going to the West. This seems
to indicate that our Southern brethren

manual labor with contempt. There
upon the learned editor remarks:
TO educate our children that educa-
ton is to free them from all manual
labor, is to do them great harm 1t
is nonsense, yea real and positive in
