Legislative cowardIce.

Corvallis lawyers agree with
Governor Chamberlain that the
Smith normal bill is probably un-
constitutional. The bill created a
board of five regents for all nor.
mails and required the board to dis
continue two schools and select two
to be continued. The contention
Is that the legislature cannot dele
gate power strictly legislative to
Ito board such as is proposed.
If there is even a question as to
its constitutionality, the bill should
have been vetoed. If allowed to
become law, litigation would
have ensued and the whole normal
school row would be in a worse
mess than ever. The result would
have been confusion worse con-
founded.
AT matter of fact, since it was
the legislature that created the
normal schools. it is the legisla-
ture's duty, if anybody's to say
whether or what schools shall be
abandoned. tits legislative COW.
ardice to seek to thrust upon some
body else, responsibility that the
legislators did not hesitate to assume
when the schools were created.

100000 Given to Negroes for Schools.

Philadelphia, April 26.-One mil
lion dollars has been given to the
negroes of the South for the estab-
lishment of rudimentary schools by
Miss Anna II. Jeanes, Quakeress,
of this city.
The income of the amount given is
to be used solely for assistance in the
"Southern United States community,
country and rural schools for the
great class of negroes to whom the
small rural and community schools
are alone available"
Brooker IT. Washington, head of
Tuskegee Institute, and Hollis Burke
Frizzell, president of the Hampton
Normal and Industrial Institute, are
named as trustees of the fund, but
neither of the institutions they repre-
sent will share in the gift.
The deed of gift was executed yes
terday, and in it Booker Washington
and Hollis Frizzeli are empowered to
appoint board of trustees in connec.
ton with the fund. The Pennsyl-
vania Company for insurances on
lives and granting annuities, of this
city, will act as fiscal agent for the
trustees.
Miss Jeanes, the donor, is about 80
years old, and comes from an old and
wealthy family, which has been
prominent for more than a century.
She has long been interested in the
welfare of the negro, and has been a
contributor to institutions for their
education. She has known Booker
Washington for decade.
In transferring the million dollars
to the trustees, Miss Jeans states
that she gave the sum "trusting and
believing in the practical and far
reaching good that may result from
the moral and elevating influence of
rural schools for negroes in the
Southern States, taught by reputable
teachers"

What a Shame.

The amount of corn that has been
hauled out by the farmers from Laronia
this week is enormous. They are also
hauling hay, meat and -four
In doing this the farmers are forming
trust against their prosperity that will
eventually grind them down to poverty.
1t is time the farmers should awaken
to realization that it does not pay in
this country to raise cotton to buy corn,
hay, meat, &C., and other supplies that
can be raised so easily here.
1t is said figures do not lie, but they
do when they say a farmer in Franklin
county can save money by raising cotton
at ten cents to buy corn at one dollar per
bushel.'
Suppose corn was twenty-five cents
per bushel and cotton fifteen cents per
pound, how long would it be before corn
would be one dollar bushel and upward
and cotton five cents pound, if farmers
raised cotton to buy corn
So many farmers act on the foolish
proposition that they will plant an i'm
mense crop of cotton while the majority
will be able to get high price. But 1t
always turns out just the reverse, and
the unwise farmer sees his mistake whom
1t Is too late.
But the worst Of it is that he plays the
fool the next year by doing the very same
thing again.
The great haste to get rich has made
fools of more men and bankrupted more
financially and morally than probably
anything else in the world. "They that
make haste to get rich fall into divers
temptations"
There is one way in which a man can
always BE a success at farming, and that
is the plain old.fashioned way, maze
enough of all supplies your land will
produce first, then put the balance in
cotton.
Remember, the farmer who makes ali
his own home supplies lives we'll and
easy and has money to loan, and the
farmer who raises cotton to buy his sup
plies lives hard, is in debt, always on a
strain and has money-to borrow.-La-

Condemned Mar Ought Officers.

Birmingham, Ala, April 26.-Be-
coming in possession of a knife in
some manner, Robert Watts, a white
man, who was hanged at Gunters-
vile yesterday morning for the mur-
der of Purd Winkle, a Confederate
veteran, resisted the officers when
they went to his cell. Ammonia
was thrown into his cell until he was
overcome and il was necessary to
drag him tc the gallows. On the gal
lows he continued to struggle, all
the time coughing and moaning pit
eously. The drop fell at $40 o'clock.
Just before the black cap was drawn
he declared that he was innocent of
the crime.

Estes at Oak Ridge, was to-day ad-
mitted bail in the sum of five thou

story from the lips of his daughter,
he drove ten miles, located Estes and
killed him with a double barrel gun
without waiting for an explanation.
"Notbing in Gods or mans power
could have stopped me from taking
his life. I did it after careful consid-

To die as they lived, In their overclothes.

For bravery midst the stirring fight.

No martial tunes their battles inspire,
The pound and hiss of the steed of fire,
Speeding along through the dreary night,
While the hours drag Oh their leaden
flight,
Is the only song the trainman knows
Who fights and dies in his overci- hes.
When the moons cold rays grow dim and
pale,
And the lightning leaps DER theiglisten-

When the sharp sleet burrows each eager
face,
AS DER tho mountains and hills they
chase!
All! dreary indeed arc the battles cr
Who have fought and died in their over

Poets of chivalry's knights may sing,
Their fancy to brilliant heights take
wing,
But we shall strive in our feeble way
TO tell of the heroism night and day
OF the Knights of Work, All, those
Who have gone down to death in their
overclothes.

Tho Value OF Education.
BY J. E. HoGGS.

"The blind see, the deaf hear, the
lame walk" is the best illustration
of this subject by the master hand.
No page Of history will ever shine so
bright that this diamond will not
lend it lustre.
All are blind to that which they
cannot see, deaf 70 what they cannot
hear, and lame to all they cannot at
tain. What do you want? Can you
guess what it is worth? If you
could, you would have faint idea
of the value of knowing how to use
knowledge.
The lily comes to the pink of per-
fection by using for its growth every
drop of dew, every breath of air aud
every shaft of light that comes. 1t is
. an example of success in its line.
The splendor and glory of Solomon
could not match it. There is az
much life in dark, tangled, chaotic
jungle as there is in modern city.
The life in the jungle is blind, deaf,
lame; in the city it sees, hears and
moves. The same in kind, but diff
ferent in degree.
Seeing, hearing, walking, is life
"more abundantly." Death is the
cutting of every wire that communi-
Gates with the central office of life.
One dim eye, dull ear, lame foot, are
just 80 many wires down. When
they are all down, the clod falls with
a dull, dull thud upon the coffin lid.
But seeing, hearing, walking, is
not the true measure of life. 1t is
what you do to make others see,
hear and walk. This is where edu-
Gated people need education. They
say, we see. They are looking in
the mirror. They are impatient for
the encore. They want to get be-
tween the footlights and the curtain
