one wise Negro.

Washington Herald
 Deal Jackson Is a negro farmer who lives in Dougherty county, Ga. Ills home ia located a few miles from the pretty litle city of Albany. and no man in the community stands higher than he. He is respected by all, and Is es- pecially well thought of by his white fellow-citlxens.
 Jackson has just marketed the first bale of cotton in his State, and the first in his entire section of the coun- fry. for that matter. This is the seventh lime he has Performed this feat. He takes a pride in his farm; he hustles to get the first bale on the market and he gets 1t there, regularly
 Jackson has relied entirely on his own efforts all of his life. He Is in- dependent, and asks no man odds. Ills credit Is good for whatever he wants at any store or bank in Albany, He haa never been known to want more than he might reasonably be expected to pay for; that Is the keynote Of his character. He does not concern him. self at all with politics or politicians. He hasn't any pull" anywhere, save such as is legitimately due him as reward for his honest endeavor. He has reduced cotton raising to an ex- act science; he knows just what the plant will do under given conditions. He has generally managed to get first bale in a little ahead of his white com petitors, in spite of all their efforts indeed, he broke all of his own pre- vious records this year.
 Jackson's great card is attending to his own business. and doing 1t well.
 Nobody ever heard of Jackson being mixed up in trouble of any variety, Business men value his opinions on things agricultural.
 It is a pity there are not more col- ored men like Deal Jackson. If there were. there would be no race problem, real or imaginary. His example Is up- lifting. It Is worthy the study and emulation of any man, no matter what tha color or his skin. The negro race
 needs more Deal Jacksons.

 We have tried to keep tab on the presidential nominations that have been made. but are not sure that we have rounded them all up. If we have the count straight there are now six fin the Held for the ofice. with several parties not heard from up to time of going to press. We can't imagine what some of them expect to gain by their candidacy, except to get their names in the "also ran" list and perhaps advertise them selves. We are not much on attend ing political gabfests, but if all the candidates would meet in joint debate we think we might like to attend. pro- vided they would limit their speeches to not more than thirty minutes each.

It occurs to us that the President didn't make much by his attack on the decision of the Court of Appeals. and Judge Grosscup's reference to that at tack Is a plain but dignihed rebuke. The statement made day or two ago that the President had no comment to make on the remarks of the Judge shows that there may be occasion when even Roosevelt knows how to keep sl- lent. So far as this particular case is concerned what is needed from him is a large quantity of silence.

CRISIS NOT OVER.
Demonstratton Tn Sultanis Favor May
 Turn Against Him.


 Turn Against Kim.
 Constantinople. July 29.-The crisis in Turkish affairs Is by no means over. The demonstrations that have been in favor of the Sultan may at any moment turn against him if he does not yield to the demands of the constitutional party for the dismissal of the palace camariila.
 1t is believed that the Sultan will make these concessions. although to do so Is a dimcult matter. It Is apparent that the Sultan Is becoming uneasy. Troops last evening prevented further demonstrations in front of the palace.
 An imperial tirade made public to- day, convokes the first Turkish parlia- ment under the new constitution for November l. The document announc- ing this decision apeals to the people to cease their demonstration, pointing out that as the Sultan has proved his good sentiments and his intention strictly to observe the constitution and labor for the prosperity of all his subjects. there is no longer reason to continue the manifestations which on- ly impair the progress of events.

renee teaches with fresh emphasis is the necessity Of such regulation of the purchase and sale of firearms as to limit to the practicable minimum the weapons.
 That Is good sound doctrine, of course. and 1t has been preached every where and by all lovers and advocates of good order, but has 1t accomplished anything worth mentioning? Laws have been made, remade. enlarged and expanded, yet people who are so in- cltned will buy firearms. carry them on their persons and use them when they see fit. In country like ours there is no valid excuse for any man to carry a pistol. except, possibly. when he knows his life to be In danger and also knows that he must protect himself. There may be such cases and circumstances. but they are exceeding. ly rare, and in many cases where the need does not exist the plea is made an excuse for carrying a revolver.
 Why do so many men carry revol- vers? is question that would be dif- ficult to answer satisfactorily. It will not do to argue. as some do, that any man who goes armed at all times Is a coward, for it is not always true. There may be something of the coward and something of the bully in the makeup of the habitual pistol toter, but we know that quiet. orderly citizens, of real courage. are not all free from the habit, but Just why they adopt and keep it up Is one of the human nys- teries that nobody has yet explained.
 How can the evil re remedied? Here fin Alabama. for example, we have had laws against carrying concealed weapons since we had criminal laws of any kind. yet we all know that the habit has prevailed all over the coun- try. We have come to the opinion that no human laws can abolish or break up this evil habit. but welI-d rected and persistent public opinion might do good. Boston has had a lurid example of the evil, and we wait to see what Boston can do to break 1t up and prevnt it in future.

BRET HARTE AND HIS
AMBITION TO WRITE PLAYS

1t was the later life dream of the low
able, genius-inspired Bret Harte to be a
successful playwright. He enjoyed the
close friendship of Edwin Booth and Law
renee Barrett. He had the sympathetic
encouragement of Dion Boucicault and
Arthur Wing Pinero. He had the warm
Endorsement of Clement Scott and William
Winter. Yet the 1.-TWO Men of Sandy
Bar produced by Shook and Palmer at
the Union Square Theatre. New York, in
the heyday of it's prosperity, and with a
superb cast, headed by Stuart Robson and
including stately IDA Vernon, beautiful
Laura Don, and sprightly Maud Harrison,
was mercilessly scored by the critics, and
condemned by the public. Twenty years
later, "Sue," sumptuously done by Charles
Frohman, with Annie Russell in the name
part, achieved only a success d'estime.
And just before his death, he had put the
finishing touches upon several other plays,
which have yet to face the glare of the
footlights. 1t would be interesting TO
know what has become of them.

The attraction at the Newark Theatre
next week will be "Brewster's Millions"
a dramatization by Winchell Smith of
George Barr McCutcheon's best and

which the majority Of book-readers are
familiar. The play comes here with the
original cast that assisted in winning 1t
fame and success during its years run in
New York and four months engagement
in Chicago.
The plot is a decidedly novel one and
the play should prove an interesting
comedy. The story is of Montgomery
Brewster, a young New Yorker, who is
left $1,000,0 900 by his grandfather. Just as
he is starting to enjoy his fortune he
learns that an uncle has died in California
leaving him many millions of dollars. but
under decidedly startling conditions. 1t
appears that this uncle had cordially hated
the boys grandfather. and in order to
show this caves his money to his nephew
under the proviso that he shall %squander
every cent left him by his grandfather
within a year.
He cannot gamble the million away, he
canno give 1t away, he must not do
anything with 1t except spend it purely
for pleasure, and If at the end of the
year he has one cent left or any personal
property or real estate he ~forfeits all right

"sINCE NELLIE WENT AWAY"
THE BLANEY MEL0DRAMA

"Since Nellie Went Away" by Owen
Davis, will ave its first presentation at
Blaney's Theatre on Monday. During the
four acts and twelve scenes, OF which this
drama consists, Mr.. Davis tells a story,
descriptive of the dangers placed in the
path of true love. Nellie is the beautiful
and innocent heroine and it is Roy Thatch-
er, son of one of New York's money kings,
who wins her heart and gains her consent
to a secret marriage. This is discovered by
Eva Dean, an heiress and a leader in New
Yofk's Fashionable circles. Furious with
anger. for she had considered Roy as her
betrothed, she enlists the services of Ash
ley James, Roy's false friend, to assist in
a scheme Of revenge, by means OF which
! she hopes to separate the lovers. This
furnishes material for a series of stirring
! incidents, some of which cause Nellie's life
to hang in the balance.
That INSCRIPTIONS duo of conspirators,
Eva and james. stop at nothing, even muir
der, and make two sensational attempts
to commit this crime. The first shows how
Nellie is tied to one OF the arms of a huge
windmill, 1t being the intention of the
collaborators in crime to leave her there
to perish. This plan is, however, foiled by
the opportune arrival of Gabriel Farley,
the life-saver. the devoted, though hopeless
lover of Nellie. The second effort to take
the life of the unfortunate heroine occurs
during a storm at sea. Nellie has been
forced on board a leaky boat, and her de-
struction seems assured, when again Far
ley, at he head of the live-saving corps
from the station on Long Point, inter-
venes.
