PEOPLE OF LINCOLN'S CRADLE
DECREE BLACKS MUST GO
The white people of Springfield. the
home of Abraham Lincoln, who enan-
cipated the black race, have decided
that the negro can have no abiding
place in their city. The negro himself
realizes the import of the edict and he
is going.
A careful estimate places the number
of negroes who have left Springfield
since the beginning Of the race war at
2,OOO OF this number nearly three
fourths have gone out of the county
-on railroads and interurban lines The
rest have gone by wagon and on foot
and are located in the rural districts
STAY WITHIN STATE
The great mass of the scurrying
blacks are still within the state. Some
have gone to Missouri, Kentucky, In
diana, and a few to the south. Some
are known to have gone as far past the
Mason and Dixon line as Louisiana
There are still many negroes left in
Springfield. but of these there are many
who are planning to go at the first
opportunity.
In another week the negro quarters
of Springfield will be depopulated- The
only negroes seen on the streets today
were those skurrying in fear haunted
groops for the railroad trains. Every
group of fleeing blacks was accom-
panied by squad Of soldiers.
1t was a common sight to see a half
dozen negroes, old men and women
with babies, being escorted down the
street to the railroad by a squad OF
soldiers In a week the negro colo
nies will be like deserted villages
In the levee districts especially the
results of this exodus can be noted
There the few houses which were not
DESTROYED by the fire on Friday night
are empty and all their former occu-
pants and furniture have gone to other
cities.
Another victim of Friday nights vio-
lence died early this morning at St.
John's hospital. Frank Delmore, a
miner in the employ of the Capital coal
company, was the second mansto die of
wounds received at almost the begin
coal miner, was shot at the same time
and at the same corner. He lived only
a few hours.
FEAR MINERS OUTBREAK
Colwell is to be buried Tuesday. The
police fear that the thousands of coal
miners who will attend the funeral
nav become riotous after their COM
rade has been laid in his grave. Ex-
traordmary precautions will be taken
by the militia to prevent any trouble.
There are between 1000 and 5000 coal
miners employed in the mines in and
around Springfield and Colwell was
well known to most OF them. If his
comrades should be melted to violence
the loss of life would be terrible.
Major General Young has no fear of
trouble. but he says he is prepared for
it If 1T does come.

FLORAL, NORTH BUCKspoRT.

FLORAL. NORTH BUCKsPORT.
The regular meeting Of Floral grange
Tuesday evening, May 10, was one of
special interest. Most Of the officers were
present and filling their respective places;
thirty-six members present. After OPEN
ing exercises, degree work was given to
one candidate. Recess for supper fol-
lowed. A delicious supper, to which full
justice was done, was served. After call

ton CT the time. 1t being late, the pro-
gramme was omitted.
Flora grange has increased in member
ship during the last two or three years to
such degree that it was deemed expe-
dent to enlarge the hall. An extension OF
twenty feet was added to the front, max
ing convenient and commodious build
ing, increasing the seating capacity and
improving it in every way; also making it
possible for the members to have the
pleasure of entertaining sister oranges oc-
casionally. W. NJ. George w. Chapman
had charge of the remodeling Of the hall,
and many Of the brothers assisted in the
work, daunted neither by severe cold or
disagreeable weather.
There have been no sessions OF the
grange the past month during the repairs
on the hall.

Dear Mutudls.
1t is singular, but just before the above
poem was received had asked two differ
ent persons this question: ado you think
we shall be judged by what We do or by
what We are?" Perhaps the poem came as
an answer to that query.
We are glad to get even few lines from
Ann, and learn that she hasn't forgotten
any OF the NJ. BIS She is busy woman,
so we will forgive her long silence and be
glad to hear from her again when she
finds time to write us. In note she says:
Here are a few poems for the NJ. B. c.

write for the column, but the time has wings
and goes before know it; but each one is
thought of and remembered-those who are
in sadness and loneliness, and those who have
merry hearts, each have a thought from me.
One who attended the last reunion and.
although not calling herself one of the
nieces, was near and dear to member of
our band, has within few days entered
into rest, and II. 0. B. has our sympathy
in her loss.
We all have best wishes and the hope
for Brenda, one Of the younger ones OF our
circle, that she may enjoy long and
happy welded life.
BANGOR, May IS, 1908.
Dear Sisters Of the NJ. B. c.:
| l am going to write few lines to express
my opinion about the reunion. Aunt Madge
spoke about having it in June. Now, l think
June would be an excellent time to have
| it, for am sure the sisters need some tonic
| or recrea ion after house-cleaning time is over
as much as any time in the year. And then
everything in nature is so beautiful at this
time of the year. l hope all the sisters will
respond TO Aunt Madge and express their
opinion.
am about through house cleaning; did not
have to work so hard at it this year as have
in the years gone by, as my house is most all
| new. i had a pleasant call from Day yester-
day, which enjoyed very much.

Thank you for responding. l wish we
could all say what you do about nearing
the end Of the house cleaning for this sea-
son.

JUDGE NOT.
Too much we judge our fellow-men
BY what their actions are;
But we should deeper look to see
The motives that inspire:
For actions oft conceal the heart
And are a veil to hide;
Deep down into the heart then look
To see the wish inside.
Quite different there we find some things
From what they may appear;
To understand another's soul
We must draw very near,
And let sweet sympathy e'er guide
To show the heart concealed,
For through the bond of loving hearts
Win all things be revealed.
To stand afar and criticise
Shows not the heart within,
Thus, what is done with good intent,
We, erring, may think sin.
Let Charity's sweet mantle be
Thrown over lives not understood;
Instead of criticising them,
Just try to see the good.

Il should suppose that the effect
would be to diminish the number OF
men who would go into the service
and that it would also postpone the
adoption of the most needed improve
ment in the public schools-namely
the reduction of the number of pupils
placed in charge of one teacher
Perhaps the action Of the labor un

would be suggestive In this case. They
insist, you know, that in any given
trade-as the compositor's, for exam

how annoying it is. have overcome the
difficulty by taking a, strip OF clean white
cloth, about an inch wide and long enough
to lap when put around the edge of the

When the pie is baked, take off this rim,
