New York, June 22-Very rarely in re-

as is ever seen in Wall street. AS an

that out Of 100 stocks quoted on the board
Of a large Office only eighteen had opened
al the end of half an hours business.
and although the number was consider
ably increased before the close, most Of
the additions to the list represented only
a single transaction Of 1o0 shares in each
Of the additional stocks. Not in a
single stock was there anything approach
ing activity. and in none did any OF the
transactions seem to have any slgnif-
canoe whatever.

A sATURNALlA OF CRIME.

Gordonsville. Va, has recently been
the scene of novel saturnalia OF
crime. of which the following are some
details: 1t now appears that the men,
who are seeking to evade the officers,
perpetrated many hideous crimes and
terrorized the women in several differ

at least two of the young women were
the victims of the assault.
The houses entered were those of
Rev F. A. Meade, W. A, Blakey, w.

Court, and Edward Davenport. In the
latter home the two Davenport sisters
were sleeping together. One Of them
succumbed to the chloroform. but the
other awakened, ard the ,intruders
made their escape.
1t has been shown that the assassin

ANOTHER RACE PROBLEM.

In the south almost one-half of the
cotton mill operatives 10 to IA years of
age are illiterate and about one-fOurth
of those Is to 20 years of age. The
smaller percentage in the older group
Of operatives would indicate that a
good many of these children learn to
read and write after they are 10 years
of age. But the percentage of litter
acy in the older group is still very
high, rendering it probable that large
numbers of these children are destin-
ed to remain illiterate for the rest of
their lives.
1t is known to be- fact that more
than one-half of the Southern Afro
Americ ans can read and write; and,
of course. it is a fair inference that
approximately, about three-fourths of
the children Of the race are partially
educated. And, furthermore, labor in
the cotton,mills is destructive of the
vitality of the children. Moreover, the
south derives but little new blood from
the process of migration. Southern
statesmen would do we'll to consider
these facts: as they indicate a solu.
ticn Of the race problem which they
seem not to contemplate.

TOM WATSON SHOWS HIS IGNo-

Tom Watson of Georgia, seems to be
suffering from a fit of emotional in
sanity over Negro Secret Societies"
In his article he calls attention to the
fact that in an address he delivered
some time ago he warned the white
folks that they were allowing the
Negroes to get the advantage of them
in ORGANIZATION" and that the
blacks were gaining the immense adj
vantage which a disciplined army has
over a mob.''
OF course. if Mr. Watson's argument
is true. it shows that the white South
cTner is a hopeless ignoramus in re-.
gard to the one subject of which he
proudly and irnpudently claims to
know all that there is to be known

to be.
