.* SHARON *.

To our readers in Sharon: THE NEWS takes pleasure ill announcing this week that the Sharon columns will hereafter be in charge of R. J. Livingstone. This will be welcome news to the people of Sharon, who are thereby assured that they will find something worth reading from Sharon every week. MT. Living stone has already demonstrated his abil- lty as a competent newspaperman, hav- ing been the representative of this paper ln Sharon up to a few months ago. It was matter of general regret when business duties compelled him to tenn porar1ly give up his newspaper work
 It is fitting at this time to remind the people of Sharon that they can be of great help i'll making the local columns newsy. This they can do by bringing items which they would like to see in the paper, to the attention of MT. Llv- ingstone. It is an easy matter to do so and will greatly assist him ill his work, which at best is no siuecure. One man alone cannot collect all the news of community. With the cooperation of his friends, however, he can make the news of hls town appear to good ad- vantage in the home paper, which must eventually react to the advantage of all concerned. Ed.

Trinulations of the Editor.

A lawyer charges a man $I0 for ten minutes conversation. The man in- sists on paying it. A doctor charges S1 for prescription, and the patient says: "Oh, pshaw! Is that enough?" An undertaken charges $l00 for con ducting funeral, and he is just per fectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family. A man buys gold brick and apologies for not having bitten before. An editor walks mile in the hot sun to get facts of a death or a wedding or social function and spent three hours writing it up and tells lies praising people until he hates himself Then if he makes an insignificant commission or charges , cents straight for three extra copies he is a stingy, careless, good for noth- ing old cuss who never gets anything right and charges four times the price of city papers twice as large.-Marion (Ga.)

 III Yes, Dear, believe me, love is more Than in the seasons that have flown For myself with these have grown To something better than before. And much of this I owe to Thee, Who never failed i'll troublous hour, To brighten with loves magic power What e'er misfortune dealt to me. And until earthly things grow gray My eyes shall rest on you with pride, I'll face the world with you beside And fight my battles day by day. And though to me there come not fame As could wish, for thy dear sake, No one shall say I did not make An effort worthy of my name.

living in a fine house and has it beau
tifully decorated with the very best
that can be had; she does not work
nor has she any income to subsist
upon-she is just living easy; that
party's life should be looked into.
1t is the peoples right to know how
life can be made so easy for some peo-
ple while others must labor night and
day and deny themselves of many
pleasures to have the comforts of life.
Then there are men who go dressed
ND every day and never strike a lick
of work. That class of individuals
should also be given attention. 1t
is difficult for mother to explain to
daughter, or father to explain to son
why some people should live so easy
and they be compelled to work so
hard. There is room for great i'm
provement in the Negro race along
this line. Too much mercy has been
shown the immoral and dishonest
men and women in the race. Good
people are made to suffer for the
wrong doings OF others, and it will
ever be so until a stand is taken by
the people for the right. If man
is a gambler, class with him his kind
and keep him in his class. If he is
a preacher, or doctor, or lawyer, or
teacher, and does not live up to the
highest standard, demand that he sur
render his station. If woman is a
prostitute put her in her class and
keep her there. 1t does not matter
whether she cohabits with black or
white men-.and a Negro woman who
co-mingleS with white lnen becomes
a harlot of the lowest and most de-
based character but put them all in
the same class and keep them there.
Too many white mems strumpets are
taken up by the black men and held
up as types Of the highest citizenship.
A milestone is about the neck of the
race that will lead degradation
unless a line is drawn, and the good
put on one side and the tad on the
other.

ALABAMA AMENDMENT.

The voters of Alabama decided on
the 10Th of November that they did
hot approve OF the proposition to make
prohibition a constitutional law in
that state. 1t appears that there was
something more than prohibiting the
sale of liquor hid away in that amend
ment. The people were about to be
deprived of other rights. So they
proved that they were made of too
sterner stuff to allow it TO be done
and on Monday they took the bit in
their mouths and said to the radicals
by their votes to the tune of $4,000
majority that Alabama must have
freedom.
The turn of affairs in our border
state will, we dare say, be charged
to the Negroes Of Alabama, when as a
matter of fact the Negroes were prac-
tically disfranchised several years ago.
But black men are used to being
charged with the doings of other men,
SO if it falls to their lot to be charged
with the result Of the Alabama cleo.
ton it will only be another star in
their crown. If they put down Co.
merism in the gulf state their names
should and will be called blessed.

the sheet upside down to construe
as they did his statement rela-
tive to white people joining
in a camapign to rid communi-
ties of that class of Negro men who
live on hand outs" The colored peo-
pie, those that are Industrious, desire
to see that practice broken up; they
lealize how many young people are be-
ing ruined by its tolerance, but they
know it cannot be done unless the
people who employ servants see to it
that the alley boarders are hidden
to get their meals by the sweat Of
their own brow.
We believe the thinking people un-
derstood Mr.. Washington, and we
further believe that many of the
hand ont" pans in Nashville have
begun to rust already. These attempts
to thwart the truth do nobody any
good. They may tickle the fancy Of
some, but when they laugh it is TO

the battle has ragged around this re-
doubtable warrior, it was easy to tell
where his sword was flashing in
the fight by the white plume of the
industrial doctrine that waved above
his crested head. He has been and
is now to his people more than a
Henry of Navarro.
Booker T. Washington for years
kept his own counsel in the face of
the most bitter TRADES and storms of
abuse in which it was said that he
was a white-folks Negro, that he was
self-centered, vacillating, and grasp
ing. None of these things moved
him to divulge his maturing plans for
general, national service in the in
terest of all of his people, and there
in may now be seen his consummate
craftsmanship. He saw far beyond
the horizon that bound the limited
vision of his detractors. He, in
company with other able men of his
people, is now building up wholesome
sentiment in the interest Of all the
people, Someone once said care
not how late l come into life-mean-
ing active service-since l come pre-
pared, and so was it with Mr. Wash
ington. He is now prepared to do his
noblest work, and he is doing it.
His speaking tour through this State
has done more real good in making
clear the benefits that will accrue to
both races by justice being given and
reciprocated by each than any other
agency in years, if at any time.
Long live Booker T. Washington
! to continue his inestimable services,
such as he has been rendering for more
than a week in this State, in infusing
hope and encouragement in his peo-
pie to do their best in every walk of
life and in the best sense, and his ap-
peal to the honor and sense of JUS
tice of the whites to assist in this
laudable work of uplifting all the peo-
pie to the eternal credit and lasting
betterment of our fair Southland.
