Cod5lcd Apples.

Apples are great boon to the
household lu winter when fresh foods
are scarce. and new ways of pfepar
ing them are many and varied Bur
our ancestors appreciated apples quite
rs much as we do to-day, more SO, per
hans. because foods were so scarce in
cold weather.
Among cid recipes is one for cod
l'ed apples. For Ibis pare and core
the apples and boil them in clear va
ter until tender. with lemon peel and
r. small stick Of cinnamon Vow re-
move the apples and add the sugar
and when dissolved return the apples
an3 boil d few minutes longer
An easy and delicious dessert Is to
serve the baked apples with wine
sauce poured over them this makes
q little variety from the usual meth
d of 5e.vine them with cream.

TeddytOWn.

Decatur, Ala, July 15.-Be-
cause of the number of babies in
Town Creek, Lawrence county
movement is under way to
change It's name to Teddytown.
in compliment to the big family
views of President Roosevelt.
A petition asking for change of
name has been largely signed, and
will be sent to the postal author
tiles at Washington. During the
last two weeks twins and triplets
have been coming at Town Greek
in a way to delight President
Roosevelt. Here is a record for
two weeks: Mr.. and Mrs. N. E.
King, twins, boy and girl; Mr..
and Mrs. Monroe Jeffreys, trip
let's, two girls and one boy; Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Terry, twins; Mr..
and Mrs. John jackson, triplets,
three boys; Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Shumate, twins.
This makes total of fifteen
babies born to six couples in two
weeks, and it is believed to be the
record for the United States.
Town Creek is located in Law
renee county, twenty six, miles
west of Decatur, on the Southern
Railway. According to th e
United States census of 1900 the
town had population Of $50.

State Prohibition for Georgia.

Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Georgia
enters upon a period of state pro-
hibition. joining Kansas, Maine
and Dakota, unless a miracle hap
pens between now and next Sat
urday.
This morning the Hardman pro-
hibltion bill came up before the
senate, and almost without a fight
was started on its way to become
a law by the decisive vote of 81
to Z.
There was faint hint of fiIibus-
tering campaign on Friday after
noon, but Saturday morning the
filibusters were as tame as sheep.
At the present time there are 1875
dry counties in Georgia, the wet
ones being confined largely to the
cities. Delegations from the big
cities have appeared before the
senate and house protesting
against prohibition and stating
property would generally depre-
ciate In value and that the
measure would not prohibit. The
Covington bill In the house will
be passed next week, and the
governor will sign the measure.

Railroad Delays Train for Williams to
Speak and PASSENGERS Kick.

Natchez, Juy 1.-THE south
bound train due in Natchez this
forenoon from Jackson was de-
tanned at Raymond for more than
fifteen minutes in order to permit
Congressman John Sharp Will
liams, candidate for the United
States Senate, to deliver an ad-
dress tG the voters who had gath
cred there, learning he was coming
down on the train. Many of the
passengers anxious to reach their
respective destinations, for bus
mess and other reasons, were in
dignant, but could not help them
selves, because the train crew had
orders from headquarters to tarry
there for the purpose. Mr.. VIII
liams came on down to Utica,
where be addressed a large crowd
in the afternoon. -Times-Demo-
crat special.
Governor Vardaman pointed
out at Meridian that Mr.. Will
hams is having a great deal to say
against Government ownership
of railroads, which nobody in.
Mississippi is advocating, and
nothing to say in favor of addi-
tional railroad regulation and su-
pervision to correct existing
abuses. There are many sig
nificant straws indicating that
the Railroads, with their foreign
Immigration schemes, are support
ing Williams in his fight against
Vardaman, and the Raymond in
cident is one of them.

The NEGRO Troops.

All of the colored regiments
have not been sent to the Phillip
pines, as commonly supposed.
That enough of them to ensure a
crop of trouble have been retain
ed at home, is revealed in the war
department order sending the oath
negro white elephants to
Madison Barracks and Fort On
tario. And. according to a press
''all Northern New
York has been aroused by the or.
der. Steps are being taken to
uge the congressman of the dis
trict to have the order of assign
ment changed 20 a different post. !"
The trouble is there is no other
post that would not enter the
same objection TO the order. The
coiored troops were unpopular as
garrisons before the Brownsville
shoot up. Now they are regard
ed with unconcealed repugnance
and apprehension. " Ic KS burg

Vardaman In North Mississippi.

Gov. Vardaman spoke to i'm

pi last week and the first two
days of this week. In an inter
view with the Memphis Scimi-

i never saw such enthusiasm
and | never addressed such
crowds as / have on this campaign
tour. My confidence for the
nomination of senator is con-
stantly increasing. | want to
say this: Whatever may be the
outcome of the campaign. wheth-
er | am elected or not, | will feel
well repaid in the knowledge that
/ have gained the good will of
the plain, unselfsh, patriotic
people to greater extent than
any other man who has ever lived
in the state of Mississippi. "
Il will be on the go constantly
until August L." continued
Governor Vardaman; Then
will rest for while. You notice
that my voice is a bit husky, but
the reports that / have sore

THE NEGRO "A NATURE STUDY.

All races have been savages,
and the only race on the face of
the earth which has utterly failed
to rise when an opportunity to do
so was offered is the negro.
No pure -blooded negro has ever
done more toward invention than
the bow and arrow. 1t is even
possible that some other race
taught him this, since he has been
in contact with civilization for
ages.
1t will be remembered that the
Phoenicians had settlements in
Africa before the days of King
Solomon, and then withdrew their
colonies as the Romans did from
Briton.
Here the negro had an equal
opportunity with the Briton,
but he preferred sIumber to study
and the qualification of his animal
passions to the more commendable
task of developing a nation.
Men with negro blood in their
veins have been distinguished as
warriors and statesmen-in liter
ature and in the arts, but no me-
gro CT pure blood has ever been
eminent in any capacity.
Every other race has its liter
ature; the negro has not even a
folklore, except as the product of
the grossest tears of every natur-
al phenomenon.
The philanthropist who takes
no note of these facts and racial
characteristics lnJures where he
would help, Just as the law-giVer
who refuses to heed such facts is
a danger to all be touches.
The Governor of Georgia CO.
incides with the Governor of Mis-
sissippi when he says that books
are dangerous to the negro, and
it is true that a book in his hands
is but sharp knife in the hands
VI GLilIus
70 assume that the negro is to
be helped as the white man in the
same circumstances would be
helped to ignore all of the .teach-
ings of history, of experience
and of patent facts.
The full-blood negro who makes
a good citizen is but the ward of
some good white man, and he be-
comes a bad negro Just as soon as
he is outside the pale of his infiu-
ence.
No negro state ever possessed
an organization other than that of
brute force. No negro state has
ever demonstrated the capacity
of even the rudest civilization.
No pure blooded negro ever. pro-
duced an invention, gave a reason
on an abstract question or made
an intellectual effort outside the
realms of music and the imagina
tion.
And the question still remains
how such a race can furnish citi-
zens in popular government. =

every instance the offender was
found to be educated. F"
In the face of these outrages
the negroes as a rule will not give
aid to the police in their efforts
to apprehend negro criminals.
Both from fear and an inherent
disinclination to inform on mem
bers of their own race they re-
main mute even when they might
contribute to the arrest of dan
gerous criminals.
1t is creditable to the Bishop
that in the face of such daily
DEVILS menu he can appeal to the
teachings of the Man of GaliIee.

Pachuta, Miss, July 10. FL.
D. Cameron and Senators Noel
and Joiner spoke to large audi
ence at the soldiers reunion here
today. After the usual discus
sion of state issues, Senator Noel
referred to Judge Truly's circu-
lar letter of July 4, making en-
phatic denial that he was satisfied
with the present methods of
school fund distribution, declar-
ing himself to be tbe pioneer for
a change, his platform having
over a year ago declared the exist
ing method of distributing school
funds gives some counties more
than they can well use and to
others hardly a meager salary for
the shortest term. A method
fairly equitable in its results to
all white children should be pro-
vided, he said.
