a Story From India.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose of an old elephant and took 1t to
q fair. AS soon as he had arrived he
noticed man who. without saying a
word. began to walk round the animal,
examining 1t attentively on all sides.
The merchant became very anxious,
for he feared the man had found out
that his elephant was not worth much.
He took him aside and whispered In
his ear: IL see q customer coming.
Do not say q word until I have sold
the beast, and | will give you 80
rupees The man looked at the mer-
chant and wonderingly compiled with
his request. It happened that the
customer had more money than sense,
so he was easily taken In. When the
bargain was completed and the ele-
phant led away by its new owner, the
merchant handed the so rupees to
the silent man. saying: Now I want
you to tell me how you discovered the
defect in his left leg. I thought l had
concealed II so skillfully." 81 have dis
covered nothing" replied the stranger.
at is the first elephant | have ever
seen and I wanted to know which
was the head and which was the tail"

the light of new day. The rene
dy is simple. They have an oppor-

can now cast their vote for white
supremacy. When the ignorant and
vicious are deprived of the right OF
suffrage the cause for the present
deplorable conditions will be re-
moved. a few men nave. through
the negro vote, controlled the polit-
ical situation in Mcdowell. These
men have petted, brlbed and cod.
died the negro vote, and brought
about conditions in some sections OF
the county which are deplorabla be.

county of Mcdowell of the vicious
negro vote and there will be two

The lily white planks of the state
platform are not things for people
TO become excited over The Jim
Crow" plank meets such a plain de-

him Huntington Advertiser
