He was fine type of the old South
ern colonel, the fiery scion of race
of cavaliers. Also, he was exceeding
ly .wrathy. He had just received a
letter from man, "a low soht of pub
son, sub, I assuah you,' which dis
pleased him immensely, and he was
debating inwardly how best to convey
to his vulgar correspondent an ade-
quate expression of his (the colonel's)
opinion of him. But his stenographer
was a lady. The colonel snorted,
made two or three false starts, and
finally dictated: "Sir-My stenogra-
pher, being a lady, cannot transcribe
what think of you. I, being gen.
tleman, cannot think of it. But, you,
being neither, will readily understand
what I mean"

SOME FACTS FROM SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.

White orators of the South makes
much of the claim that the Afro
American pays almost nothing toward
the support of his public schools, and
they assume that the burden falls al
most entirely uopn the white taxpay-
er. But, occasionally, facts come to
light that show that the Afro-Ameri-
can does not fail to pay a considerable
portion of the expense of supporting
the public schools.
The following facts are cleaned
from the recently published report
of the State Superintendent of the
state of South Carolina:

Last Week to Clean Up.

This is the last week to clean up.
The time was extended to the
first of June this year on account
of the late spring, and everybody
has had ample time to comply with
the order Of the Board Of Health.
In spite of this, there are still a
few who have paid no attention
either to the city ordinances or the
orders issued by the Board of
Health, and if they do not "clean
up" before the time specified they
ought to be proceeded against and
made an example of. Willmar is
fortunate in possessing a diligent
and able health officer, and he ought
to have the hearty cooperation of
every citizen in his efforts to keep
the city free of waste and rubbish
which is not only unsightly but po-
sitively a menace to health.

fact that it was we'll and hard

were Grangaard's catching of Sc

the score. Both pitchers Heng-

COMMENT ON THE TELEPHONE SITUATION

new manager of the Northwestern

for the telephone company, will

are down in some of the eastern
states where corporations are the
whole thing. In other words, Mr..

Five Reasons Why the City Should
Own the Telephone Exchange

I. To give the patrons reasonable rates, deter
mined by public accounting.
2. Because the attitude of the Northwestern
in refusing to acknowledge the City's right to
control is opposed to good public policy and the
square deal.
3. Because it is better that the profits should
add to the revenues of the City than that they
should go to enrich Eastern stockholders.
4. To give all lines entering the City a chance
to connect on fair terms, thus increasing the
efficiency of the exchange.
s. Because the exchange can be run with less
expense and with less poles to disfgure streets
by the City in connection with it's present plant
than by any outside corporation.
