Institute Resolutions.

The resolutions adopted by the
Harrison County Teachers Institute
indicate strongly that the teachers
of the county are thoroughly awake
to the many needs of the public
school system. The resolutions
cover number of subjects in a very
sensible manner and none who have
read them and now understand them
will deny that they are proper and
that what they call for ought to
exist.
There is waste of time and eff
fort. however, for institutes to pass
resolutions calling on legislatures to
do certain things. unless the great
body of educators makes personal
campaign at the proper time. Next
year they should all get together.
make their resolutions as uniform as
possible to meet the needs of. the
various communities and appoint
delegates to go to Charleston dur
ing the session of the legislature
and personally see that the State
solons give their needs due consider
alton. In this way the teachers will

interest of education.

have made easier the act of depriv-
ing the colored people of schooling
and in the end not so far distant,
were the principle in vogue, have re-
turned them to the illiteracy that
designing partisans of one political
party in some sections desire them
to have, in order to take their citi-
zenship from them and return them
to that servitude that caused the
nation once to be rent in twain.
In view of all these things, to-
gether with the merited right of the
colored teachers to be there in
obedience to the law, the Telegram
is proud of the action taken by the
institute in expressing by overwhelm-
ing vote its disapproval of the reso-
luton and the effort to commit the
teachers of Harrison county to such
a sentiment.

TiIIman's Motive.

The Telegram is pleasen to note
that it does not stand alone in its
estimate of the motive of Ben, Till
man in stirring up race hatred and
strife in communities, where there
is none. Such national papers as
Golfers Weekly emphasizes the
position taken by the Telegram,
when it declares itself as follows:
"Tillman. like Dixon, is more con-
cerned with making mono yout Of
the negro question, by playing upon
the passions which arise from it,
than in lending his help to those who
try to bring calmness and wisdom to
making the situation easier. In
deed, 1t is an interesting speculation
whether public men whose liveli-
hood comes from the lecture plat
form are not open fairly to the sus-
picfon that their Expressions of poll
teal opium are Influenced by shrewd
considerations as to what will mako
ttheir occupations more remunera-
tive. Is it not possible that Tillman
sttrs the fire and birthstone for his
Senate speeches with a mind alert to
the lecture bureau managers? And
in casting his vote may not his mo-
tives he fixed by the same consid-
eration?"

That Race Resolution.


1t is painful thing to the Tele-
gram and most all the citizens of
Harrison county that such tomfool-
cry as that attempted at the teach
ers' institute Friday afternoon direct
ed toward the humiliation of colored
people who have carefully educated
themselves for usefulness and value
to their race and the community.
state and nation should have been
sprung.
1t was an attempted insult GER
tainly most untimely to the colored
teachers. who had gone through the
sessions of the institute, faithfully
complying with all the rules and re-
quirements, giving earnest attention
to the instructions given. and de-
porting themselves in the most cred
table manner. That it was censur-
ably untimely and Wholly out of
place many who believe there ought
to be a distinct institute for colored
teachers viii not deny. In truth
many of these are outspoken in con-
domination of the act
But. the Telegram inclines itself
to the belief that it was a movement
purely ill-advised and that with the
rebuke given that no such rashness
or haste will be INDUCED in again
Certain it is the people of Harrison
county have no patience with that
sort of thing and most all pronounce
it improper TO convert or try to con-
vert an institute of this character
by even those who desire separate
Institutes that the matter should be
left to political parties. The motive
that made itself manifest in the in
PRODUCTION and advocacy of the reso-
luton showed the aim to be to in
ject politics into the Institute, for
the open declaration was made that
the colored teachers had no right
there. And, 1t is we'll that a move
ment toward politics in the institute
was nipped in the bud so quickly
for the reason that successful intro
duction of politics into institutes
tends to destroy their fundamental
s-non-partizanship and absence
OF politics entirely.
? = T. we'll TO remember that insti-
tutes are not political organizations
and deep regret is expressed every
time that there is manifest a ten
dency to make them such.
Another feature about that most
remarkable resolution 10 exclude the
colored teachers from the general
Institutes is that there was a
provision asking for an insti-
tute for colored teachers
alone. That is, the State must go
to double expense to provide all the
teachers with institute training and
advantage In other words, there
should be two institutes in each
county, where there are both white
and colored teachers, instead Of one
In each county as it now is. 1t APP
pears that would be very expensive
qualification of race hatred that q
small minority OF the people may
have, and certainly most unjust to
the great majority. from the view
point of taxation.
Though there may have been no
deep-rooted motive in this instance
against the education and discipline
and elevation of the negro race. yet
the principle would soon have re-
veaIed itself as an enemy to the well
fare OF the race in that 1t would

The interurban car with motorman
Clark, Of Delaware at the pilot, was
leaving town, running more than
thirty minutes late. Messenger on
the local was following close be-

Hooking tracks but stopped for the
Steam Shovel crossing. Messenger
after having stopped for the Hook

terurban had gained reasonable
distance and consequently let out
his motor.
The local car started down the
grade at high speed when suddenly
the big car loomed up. Messenger
says that he locked his brake and
did everything possible to stop his
car, but the tracks were slippery
making it impossible.

when the crash came he was almost

Today is SllroSc Tuesday, the day
prior to ASA Wednesday,, the be-

Shrovc Tuesday derives its name
trcm the ancient practice in the Ro-
man Chaholic church Of confessing

that is, of Obtaining absolntion on
th.s day. In foiher days in Eng

Of jollity and drolety.
When Shrcvc Tuesday dawned
the bells were set q ringing and
every one gave himself up to
amusement and good Ilumor. All
through the day there was a great
preparing and eating Of pancakes
as if sDnc profoundly religious
principles were involved in it.
The pancake and Shrovc Tuesday
were inextricably associated in the
popular mind and in old literature

AUTOMOBILE
INVENTOR
Desires to Locate Factory in
Marion.
WILL BUY OR COMBINE
Business With Marion Man
ufacturing Company.
Detroit Man Will Not Build Factory
if He Can Come to FERNS with
the Local Company.

If negotiations now pending re-
suit as expected, Marion will
quite Ekely have another new in
dustry added To- her already long
list OF prosperous enterprises.
For some time past an effort has
been made by Detroit gentleman
to either purchase outright the
plant of the Marion Manufacturing
company, or effect an arrangement
whereby he goes into the business
with the present company, for the
manufacture of automobiles.
Those Who have charge of the ne
gotiations do not care to make
the gentleman S name public at
this time, but he has taken out
patents on n new form of runabout,
which IS said TO be one Of the
best now on the market.
1t Is understood that the inven-
tor has plenty of capital behind
him, and was just on the point
CT erecting large factory. wnen
the crash came in the affairs of
the Marion Manufacturing COM
pany. II then occurred to him that
it would be at least n year before
he could begin operations in a new
factory and that here was ian OPP
portunity to get n factory already
equipped with machinery and with
a force of competent mechanics.
The negotiations have not as yet
reached a point sufficiently definite
to make any certain statements, but
as matters now stand the gentleman
wants 10 buy the plant co,nplete,
or combine his business with that
Of the local company.
AS serious business proposition
the negotiations now pending seem
highly encouraging to many of the
stockholders while the humorous
side of the combination appealed
to one Of the old directors thus.
"Well, ycu see, if we make anto-
mobiles, we can use them TO deliver
repairs to our thGesher outfits in
use in this county. and if q run
about gets stuck in the mud, We
can yank 'er out with a traction
engine.
"Yes SIR. he continued, cit
looks to me as though we would
have 'em comm and goin' under
an arrangement of that kind. /"
