profit. Some Of the observations Of
the author are epigrams Of the high

philosophical, tinged with character

the curious criticisms that different
sorts of people pass upon the Negro,
DR.. Washington says:
"A southern white man may tell
you with the utmost positiveness,
that he never knew a single Negro
who would not steal-exCept one. Ev-

to remember, he will think Of other
Negroes In whom he has the greatest
confidence and for whom he has a
very genuine respect. Considering
that there are o good many more
white people in the south than there
are Negroes, it seems to follow logic

about the Negro in general, there are
a good many individual Negroes who
are pretty we'll thought of by their

CLIFFS OF HOPE.

Over the man that wears the stripes,
The suit of check or gray,
Over all the great and small
He watcheth every day.
It is thought that comforts me,
Over the tower and wall,
That God is love, on high above,
And God, He watcheth all.
If 'twere not for his gift of love,
A fountain flowing free,
The laden clouds were dark and gray
That now encompass me.
The wasted years, the fallen tears,
From saddened memory start
But God loves me and He can see
The winter in my heart.
l grieve not-life was nought but sin
And sin is all in vain.
IT'S dawning day and I may scale
The Cliff of Hope again,
And count the prisoned days gain
The day that speaks me free,
If I remember God is love
And that He watcheth over me.

bondsmen of Pankey & Goodman. dis
tillers OF Opelika, suit is now being
conducted In the chambers Of Judge
Thomas G. Jones OF the United States
Circuit Court. The case was called
yesterday and continued through the
day. Pleading and demurrers followed
the case, through its technical course
yesterday. and win probably be re-
sumed today.
The American Bonding Company was
on the bond of Pankey g. Goodman.
II was charged that. by tapping the
vat in which the liquor was collected
in the course of manufacture, the dis
tillers ran much OF their liquor off
secretly, while the revenue agents. I'M
awares of the leak, levied tax on the
smaller portion, which was visible.
This course OF action, IL was alleged,
ran on for some time. Suspicious Of
the Government agents were aroused.
1t was shown that more crude mate
rial was bought by the firm than was
represented In the comparatively small
output. A watch was set, and the leak
discovered.
And now that the criminal proceed
ings in the case have been passed, and
Pankey & Goodman sentenced to a
year and a day In the Federal prison,
the civil suit was instituted. to re-
cover OF the bonding company the loss
to the Government sustained by the Sc
cret output OF the distillers.
As soon as the case OF Pankey &
Goodman and the American Bonding
Company is concluded, another similar
case will be heard by Judge Jones,
that of Henry Summergill. and the
American Bonding Company.
In both cases jury trial was waived
by the bonding company, and the case
Is heard In chambers. The two cases
will probably occupy the Federal court
this week, and the Federal jury has
been granted respite by the judge I'M
