Dear Sir:-Your card inauiring ia
regard 20 the poisonous properties
OF the yew tree, has been received.
There is no doubt that the OK and
cav referred to were killed by this
tree. Il has long been known that
the yews are poisonous. In regard
70 q remedy, the animals die SO quick.
ly. as . rule, that no RENE dy can be
applied. About the only thing to do
is TO see that they do not eat the
twigs OF this tree. If one could be
quick enough to use q purgative,
like linseed oil. and astimulaut, like
alcohol. that might be helpful, but
ordinarily the only thing that can be
done is to keep the animals away.

My dear frieuds:-There Is q very
dark cloud Of adversely lowering over
our future pathway. and the record
which some OF the young people Of
our race are making, renders that
cloud more dense and our path W ay
thorny.
Do we stop to think that the boys
OF today will be the men of tomorrow
They will then be the representa-
tives of our race. II we wou Id
shoulder our responsibility, we have
great reason 70 fear the future.
In reviewing the present record
derable number Of them leading an
idle and dependant life, which too
often ends in a criminal offence
against the peace aud dignity Of the
State. the safety OF the citizen, and
the laws OF their Creator.
Such characters are as dangerous
10 the negro. as to the white race
Then IL is the duty of all good citi-
zens 70 unite against the criminal
class, regardless of race or color, so
that we may all enjoy q community
Of peace and happiness free from
crime.
The negro criminal hurts US more
than he does the white race, because
he is heapipg upon the weakling
who is already totteriug under q
great burden OF disadvantages, and
his load Of crime. will eventually
busy him below the horizon of hope,
from whence there may be no resur.
rection.
Il is q fact, that our ancestors
through no fault OF their own, lack
/ ed the proper home training. Our
ancestors were not responsible
for that. but that responsibility rest:
with us today, In this hand Of liberty
nd Christianity.
