WHAT WE MUST DO.
1t is all right enough to talk
about our civil and political rights,
but there are things just as i'm
portant as these. We hear daily
arguments about higher education,
that is, higher book learning. The
colOred Americans need something
in addition to higher book learning.
They must educate their hands in
the higher branches and get rid of
those antediluvian arts. They must
be able to compete with the white
man in industries and higher me
chanical arts. A few days ago a
col0red man who had passed the
Civil Service examination lot
draughtsman and was certified to
the supervising architects office in
the Treasury Department What
was the result? One white man
resigned and the others threatened
to resign. 1t is presumed that Sec
retary Cortelyou read the dissatis-
fed clerks a mid lecture. So it
can be seen if a man is competent
in mechanical, industrial and other
arts, with other branches combined,
he will be able to compete with
those who boast of their so-called
Anglo-Saxon blood.
Let us, therefore, educate our
hands as well as our brains. \
man must, of course, have sufficient
book learning to make him a good
mechanic. A combination of books
and mechanic arts will make a good
scholar. With both the brain and
hands educated one will naturally
be enabled to go through the world
notwithstanding the many impedi-
mentS on account of his color. The
Bee has never in the history of this
government, so much prejudice and
determinations. 1t does seem that
the understrappers of the govern
ment are encouraged to do their ne
farious acts of discrimination. \
few days ago a cOlOred man was as
saulted in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing by several white print
erS without any cause hatever. tt
is not certain that any action will
be taken against the white printers.
Up to date nothing has been done.
The colored man has resigned be
cause he claimed that his life would
be in danger if he remained there.
\ government that cannot or will
not protect its employees against as
saultS is a very weak institution.
The question is, what must the col
ored man do under the circum-
stances?

the situation with grim satisfaction. II
Is made up of old maids who have
been waiting for years for desirable
men to pop the question" and who
now feel that the ordinance will put an
end to the period of weary waiting.
This is the text of the ordinances:
'That all ablebodied persons between

to marry within sixty days.
ANY person or persons falling to

JAMESTOWN STAMP ISSUE.
Pocahoutas and John 5nnith on tho
New Postage.

fccahDDt2s aHG oOTn OThIIH on SHo
iew Postage.
A new series of postage stamps Is In
preparation to commemorate the three
hundredth anniversary Of the settle
ment of Jamestown to be issued con-
temporaneonsly with the opening Of
the exposition at Norfolk April 20.
philatelists have heard with some con-
Germ that the new stamps would not
portray either Captain John Smith or
Pocahontas. They felt that this omis-
sion would be like the play of Hamlet
without the Dane or present day rail-
road looting without Hartman, says
the New York Evening Post. They
have also heard that the series viii
consist OF but two stamps Of the de-
nominations of one and two cents.
Neither of these assertions has any
basis In fact
The series Will be of the denomina-
tons of /, and cents. The one cent
stamp, the design for which has been
approved, Will show n portrait OF Cap
tain John Smith. The two cent stamp
design, which has also been approved,
will contain birdseye view OF the ex-
position grounds MS tney will appear
when completed. The five cent stamp
will carry n likeness of Pocahontas.
The jamestown stamps will be about
the size of the pan-American series
slightly larger than the current stamps.

and will be printed In one color only,
green for the one cent, red for the two
stamps Will be on sale during the life
Of the exposition only, but will be good
for all time, as are oil the commemo-
rntive stamps. They will be supplied
to all postinasters making reQuisition
for them, but 1t is understood the reg
ular issue will be supplied unless the
special stamps are asked for.
The jamestown stamps will be the
fifth commemorative series issued by
this government First came the Co
lumbinn stamps I'm 1893, comprising
sixteen denominations from / cent to
$5, generally regarded as among the
most beautiful stamps ever printed.

ed the Buffalo, or Pan-American So
ries, famous because of their two col
ors and errors with the central pic
ture upside down, Of which a copy Of
the four cent stamp sells for about
$500. This series was issued In 1901
and consisted only of the one, two.

nations. In 1904 the department issued
the Louisiana Purchase, or st. Louis,
stamps, still further reducing the num-

Encourage Sheep Raising.

ttuntSNllle MeTcuTy.
 It would not only be most wise act on the part of the legislature at it's adjourned session to pass a law taxing dogs throughout the State, but to eX- empt all sheep in the State from taxa tion for the next five years. Tho poH- cy of taxing dogs Is to eliminate that large. worthless class which are neg lected at home and prowl at night in search for food. A dog that is so valued by Its owner that b. Is willing to pay tax rather than give him or her up. will be looked after and watch ed it will be several years before it's full benefits are realized and in the meantime sheep raising Will be more or less damaged by the depredations "f emption from taxation of the sheep would offset to some extent the loss from providing dogs and thus encour- age our formers who take chances by engaging in this business. Alabama is we'll adapted naturally for a largo in- dustry in sheep raising in every one of its sixty-seven counties. The sheep are not here now to be taxed and tn" the State no loss. On the contrary. it would encourage the growth of q busi- ness that could soon be made q great source of revenue and add immensely to the wealth of the State.
 The Mercury hopes the legislature will act in this matter and place Ala bama in a position to become one or the greatest sheep raising States in the Union It has all the natural condl- tions and only needs the protecting ar m of the law to save 1t from destruction by worthless and valueless dogs that now overrun the whole State
