Race Riot in Texas.

Palestine, Texas, July. 30.-At
least 18 negroes were killed in a
racial clash in the easternAse
ton of Anderson county last
night and today, the elimination
of an enmity between the races
which has been brewing for sew
eral weeks. Eighteen as the num-
Der of dead, is according to the
more conservative reports that
have reached here from the disor-
der occurred. Other reports the
total fatalities at between 80 and
40. It was also reported as to
casualties among the whites has
met an authoritative denial.
Troops Ordered Out.
Tonight troops reached Pales-
tine and Immediately began an
overland march Of about % miles
to the scene of the rioting. The
arrival Of the soldies had a whole
some effect and tonight the bel
ligerents are reported to be dis
persing. Further bloodshed will
IN all probability be averted.
The first advices of the dis
turbance reached Palestine this
morning. Officers were sent to
the scene, local ammunition stores
ordered to suspend sales, and the
saloons closed. It was quickly
apparent, however, that the situa-
ton was beyond the control of
the local officers and troops were
asked for. A company Of militia
under command Of Captain God
frey Fowler, a former United
States army officer and more re-
Gently engaged in Nicaragua in
the camps of the insurgents, was
dispatched from Marshall, Texas,
and arrived tonight.

Black Fiends Lynched.

Bombay, Fla, July 30.-Two
negroes after confessing to the
murder Of Bessie Morrison, twelve
years old, were hanged here by an
Infatuated mob this afternoon.
The slain girl was on her way
to school Friday morning. When
she did not return Friday night
posses began to search for her
and the body was in a small lake.
The negroes were tracked by
bloodstains on the ground. It is
believed the blacks lay in wait for
the girl, assaulted and then muir
dered her.
While on their way to Jail with
the prisoners, the officers were
overpowered by a mob. The ne
groes were taken away and
strung to a tree and their bodies
riddled with shot.
It is said that a third negro has
sions and he is being sought.

from him the electoralsvo OF his
own state. Next, we must re-
member that Mr.. Roosevelt has
promised to 60 to Massachusetts,
to help Senator Lodge support
the Aldrich tariff and the whole
stand-pat programme against the
republican insurgents of that
state. Finally, it is to be borne in
mind that until very recently Sen
ator B~eVeridege had himself been
a defender of high tariffs and
trusts and has publicly declared
that great corporations and COM
binations are part of the economic
uplift of the time, distinctly bene-
fetal to all forms of industry.
Nov them" said Mr.. Kern,
Eve have here two old Cleveland
tariff reformers going to New
York to get the friend Of a Mass
achusetts stand-patter to come to
Indiana to support an insurgent
who called the stand-patters ras-
Gals and denounces them as S"the
powers of pillage,' this insurgent
being a statesman who only a
little viii leago was himself a sup
porter of the powers. If that be
not whirligigery what is it?
"To old-time republicans of In
DIANA" continued Mr. Kern, to
the men who stood for Harrison
and protection against Cleveland
and reform, it must seem strange
to see Cleveland reformers taking
the leading part in a republican
campaign and inviting speakers
to come out here and support an
insurgents In denouncing tn reg
ulars."
As to the result of the cam
paign, MI. Kern makes no pre-
diction. When asked to give an
opinion on the subject his eye
"the date of Roosevelt's speech
will have something to do with
it. If his speech in Indnana is
made after the speech in Massa-
chusetts; if he answers in de
Tense of Beveridge what he says
in defense of Lodge, Beveridge
may be benefited; but, if after
speaking in this state, he goes
back to Massachusetts and de
nounces the insurgents the effect
is likely to be contrary to the
hopes of the men who invited him
to come here"

near Export were mobilizing an
army of nearly 1000 to avenge
the loss Of one man in a battle

a Record For the state.

Cora growers throughout
North Carolina are at present
very much interested in learning
the best method of increasing
their yields, and numerous con
tests have been organized for the
purpose of increasing this inter
est. One of the most striking ex-
amples of what careful prepare
ton and dilligent cultivation will
accomplish is found on the farm
of Mr.. J. f. Bats of Garner,
Wake county where last year a
single acre produced a fraction
over 226 bushels of corn. The
Lexington Dispatch republishes
Mr.. Bats own account of how
the yield was made, and although
not every farmer vii lbe able to
equal Mr.. Bats figures, the lat
ter's experience develops several
important principles from which
undoubtedly benefit may be de.
rived.
"I attribute much of my sue
cess to seed selection" declares
Mr.. Bats. ct have kept a seed
patch seven years and on this
patch / have year by year planted
my best seed selecting the seed
fro mthe best ears with a view to
good size and quality and prolific
type. / thought I had the seed
corn that would win if I gave it a
fair chance and | spared nothing
to give it that chance" The soil
/ selected for the experiment was
scarcely of even average fertility,
as its yield the year before had
been only eight bushels of wheat.
Mr.. Bats began its preparation
by planting peas from which he
had cut the hay. In March, after
heavy manuring, the land was
ploughed twelve inches deep and
subsoiled six inches. Next month
the manuring and ploughing were
repeated, this time to a depth of
twenty inches. Fertilizer con
sisting of 800 pounds of acid
phosphate and 1900 pounds of
cotton seed meal was narrowed in
and the selected seed were planted
at intervals of eight inches, the
rows being Al inches apart: About
a ton an da half of fertilizer was
added after the planting, and
Mr.. Bats, estimate of the cost of
the crop was $139. =
It will be noted that the seed
which produced this rather re-
markable yield was the result of
a seven-year-old patch. In scien-
tiic agriculture it is a mistake to
look for results before due perse-
verence has given them a chance
to materialize. This proposition
automatic as it may appear, needs
to be impressed over and over
again upon the minds of our form
ers. Another matter of great in
terest in connection with this ex-
pertinent is the fact that the
tploughing was deep. Mere scratch
ing of the surface will not suffice
to bring about the best results.
gain, the fertilizer used was va
ried as wei las abundant. The
list Of principles Illustrated by
Mr.. Bats ucces might be ex-
tended almost indefinitely. The
State Department of Agriculture
has issued a bulletin containing a
detailed report of the steps taken
by the Wake county farmer from
the first planting of the peas until
after the corn was cut, and a study
of this document will repay any
and every corn-grower.-Char-
Iotte Observer.

The Situation Nationally as View
ed by John w. Kern, Once Can
didate for Vice-President.
A dispatch from Indianapolis
quotes John W. Kern as follows:
"The republican party being
the parent Of the protective sys-
tenn cannot be expected to de-
stroy its offspring. Even the in
surgents cling to the system and
proclaim its righteousness while
declaring themselves in favor of
reducing the duty in certain
schedules; substituting as it were,
petit larceny for grand larceny;
plain, transformations burglary
for highway robbery. Only the
democratic party can be trusted
to work out the needed reform,
but to fit itself for the work it
must select for It's leaders men
free from alliances with special
interests; men strong enough,
brave enough and discreet enough
to strike down the unlawful mo-
nopolies that plumber the people,
while at the same time protecting
an encouraging every legitimate
enterprise in the land"
That is the statement of John
Worth Kern, of Indianapolis,
once the candidate of his party for
vice president, and now a candi-
date for the United States senate
with the recommendation of the
democratic convention of his
state. The use of such express
sions as ~''larcepy and ROBBERY"
show that Mr.. Kern is one of those
who look upon the tariff question
as a moral issue. He seems in
iced to be one of those thinkers
to whose minds most questions
present themselves as issues of
right or wrong one, one who
would concern himself with the
, honesty or dishonesty or a propos-
ed action before giving any heed
to consideration of profit or ex-
~pediency.
As the presidential campaign
made his character, and appear
anee familiar to the public, little
is needed now in the way of per-
sonal description. He is of me-
dunn height, lean and sinewy.
|. The head is large and well round
ed; the forehead high and square.
The nose is long straight and
pointed at the end the tip extend
!, ing noticeably beyond the nos
trils. The lower part of the face
is covered by a mustache and a
beard, both of which are strong
ly marked with grey. But the
thin hair upon the head is black,
, the kind of black that is see on
the ravens wing; there is vigor
in it and it gives a youthful look
to the face despite the lines I'M
der the eyes and along the cheek
that tell of years, as well as of
study.
Mr.. Kern is Indifferent to the
appearance of dress and prefers
comfort to elegance. This is
shown by the fact that he comes
to his office in negligee attire and
wears it carelessly: His voice is
low and well modulated. AS his
talk goes on a strain of humor
shows itself now and again, not so
l much in words as In tone of the
voice and the twinkle of the eye.
/ The : eyes, indeed, have a good
! part of the conversation. Their
color is an unusual hue of brown,
in itself a distinctive feature, and
they are furthermore much more

ments Of the speaker than is COM

-
1.-THE question of tariff taxa
ton will loom up large in the next
campaign. People are coming to
know that almost every i'll affect
ing the body polite finds its.
origin in the vicious system of
pro tective tariff legislation. The
avowed object of that system is to
shut out foreign competition, but
results show that when that OBJ
ject has been attained domestic
competition is stifed by the forma-
ton of trusts and combines, so
that the work of p%lmdering the
people may proceed without let or
hindrance.
Mr.. Kern does not confne him
self to generalities. He gives
specific instances of plumber:
"The few men composing the
sugar trust the steel trust and
kindred monopolies can levy tri-
butte upon every home in the coun-
try every day in the year. Take
the steel trust for illustration.
There are in this country 10000
600 homes in which the products
0 fthat commodity are in daily
use. Que of each of these homes
there comes day by day a little
stream of money, all converging
at the treasury of the steel com
pany. Thus was the colossal for
tune of Carnegie builded up. In
the same way scores ofrother great
fortunes are being accumulated
by men who are favored by spec
ial legislation.
"Under such a system it is not
strange the wealth of the country
is being rapidly transferred from
the pockets of the men who pro-
duce it and conferred in the hands
o ia few men. It was conclusive
ly shown by Senator La Toilette
in speech two years ago that the
financial and industrial affairs of
this great republic are absolutely
controlled by a handful of men,
les sthan one hundred in number.
It must be apparent to every man
who thinks that if present condi-
tons continue the swollen for
tunes will grow greater the pro-
cesses of absorption and concen-
tration vii lgo on, the lot of the
toiler will become more and more
intolerable, so that it will not be
many years before we will be con-
fronted by the menace of some
sort of revolution.
"The American people perceive
the evil that surrounds themrand
as a result the chances of demo
cratic success sin the next national
campaign have frightened won
derfully. The defiant attitude of
the protected interests toward
the people and the failurezof the
Taft administration to carry out
the reelection. pledges of the
party tend to convince intelligent
voters that in democratic success
lies the only reasonable hope of
reform"
When asked for a succinct
statement of the course Of the
democratic party should pursue
at this ~juncture Mr.. Kern wrote
and signed the three paragraphs
which appear over his name else
where.
Turning from national politics
to the Indiana campaign, in which
his own fortunes as a candidate
for the senate are involved, Mr..
Kern became less serious. At
times he was even humorous.
Thus he sized up the activities of
the Beveridge camp under the
general term "whirligigery," be-
because as he said, they SO strik-
ly Illustrated the effects of the
whirligig of politics.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing rodness, roughness,
and chapping. and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot.
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red.

Geological Puzzle.

italian biologists have a puzzle to
solve. owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body of white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta.
1t was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago, and must have been pre-
served by the ice, since it has ALWAYS
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
1t has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previous to discovery. At
this would seem to show that thore
are still white bears in the Alps, ex-
petitions are to be sent to test the
theory.
