NO NEGROES IN
 FARMER'S UNION.
Mississippi Will Bar Them. If Organized If Must Be
 As Entirely Distinct Body.

Jackson, Miss, April F. That some of the members of the Far mers Union are opposed oto in- cluding negroes as affiliated members is indicaeed by the ac- tion of the executive committee last night, which was outlined in the following statement:
 Seeing so much in the papers recently concerning the position of our Union on the subject of organizing the negroes in Miss issippi, we deem it advisable to state our position.
 The white union in the state has not and will not .have any thing to do with the effort to or ganize the negro. We are op- posed to the white union, or members of the same, having anything to do with the organ izution of the negroes. Any officer of this organization taking part in the organization of the negroes, will be expected to re- sign and withdraw from the un- ion.
 If the negroes see fit to or ganize, with organizers of their own race, an entirely distinct body, we shall not attempt to in- terfere, nor will we have any thing to do with the matter. 7"
 The position, as outlined by the executive committee, while it will appeal to the majority, and would be sustained by the locals, has naturally some oppo- sition, as there are those who believe that the organization of the negroes would be a step in the right direction, and would certainly have more of beneficial than harmful results, but they seem to be in a minority.

 The candidates know that few of them have any influence, and that their own vote may not be delivered even if paid for, and yet they dare not refuse the in- sistent demands for "a loan of $5," or for an advance of $lO for whiskey to get the boys of Lone Fork township drunk so that they will vote as the mooch- CT directs.

The Confederate Vetran con test is growing in popularity each day, and it would be surprising to many to know of the interest that Is being shown in the mat ter. Todaf's count makes no material change in the running of the two leaders of yesterday, the only difference being that friends of both have run their figures up a couple of hundred. In fact, the same might be said about all four of the leaders.

Tho Earth as a Bell.

Studies of the violent earthquake
which occurred in the Balkan Pc
ninsula April 4, 1904, made by
DR.. Emilio Oddone, professor in the
University of Pavia, show that the
shocks were transmitted through the
entire body of the earth and were
reflected from the antipodes back
to their place of origin in about
thirty-three minutes. Comparing
the records Of other great earth
quakes, DR.. Oddone concludes that
the average time required for a Vi
bration to traverse the globe and
return by reflection is from thirty
two to thirty-three minutes. The
earth thus appears to be not alto
gether unlike a great bell suspended
In space and vibrating throughout
its whole mass under strokes, which,
comparatively speaking, are no more
than the tapping of a finger nail.
Or. Oddone calls attention to the
interesting coincidence between the
time taken for a vibration to trav-
erse the globe aid that required
for light to cross the diameter of
the earth's orbit.-Youth's Com
panion.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases ont of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
in1amed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by

CIVILIZATION AND PAPER.

Our supremacy in civilization i
established, and it is France, the
mother of enlightenment, that has
established it for US.
The Revue Scientifque of Paris
applies a very simple formula by
way of civilization test. Every ma
ton is sized up according to
the amount of paper it uses.
In the matter of paper production
this country leads with an annual
output of. 639,734 tons. Germany
follows with 393,6s3 tons; England,
246,051 tons; France, 196,942 tons;
Austria, 147,7O6 tons, and Italy,
1906 tons. Naturally the mere
production of paper cannot be taken
as correct standard, although it is
suggestive, for every country ex-
ports more or less paper.
The amount of paper used in this
country every year for each inhab-
liant is 1856 pounds; in England,
34.3 pounds; Germany, 1913 pounds;
France, 20.5 pounds; Austria, 10
pounds; Italy, 15.4 pounds. The
lowest European consumption is
found in Servia, with IL pounds
per capita. China uses the same
amount. The lowest paper con-
sumption in the world is in India,
with only % pound per inhabitant.

Chemists Show Bottles.

Formerly apothecaries used a red
light as sign of their trade. Now,
it happened one night that a drug
gist, finding himself without the
necessary red light, made shift with
bottle of red liquid placed in the
window with a candle behind it.
The effect was SO good that he put
& similar decoration in another win
dow. The sign was excellent-so
excellent that a rival apothecary
tried to improve upon it for his
own benefit. His idea was to place
a bottle of yellow liquid beside the
red one, and then he surpassed his
former effort by adding a bottle
containing green to the other two.
The red, yellow and green made
fine show, and every druggist in the
town followed in the wake of their
more enterprising rivals. In course
of time the bottles were replaced by
the magnificent colored vases which
are now a familiar sign everywhere.
