MEASLES CARDS 70 GO UP.
County Physician Expects to Qnaran-
tine All Cases.

With 200 new measles" cards.
County Physician Conklin expects to
be able to placard all cases OF that
disease.
''From this time on l expect to pla-
card or quarantine every case that
comes to my notice." said he, "and II
there are any cases at this time l
have not been acquainted with the
fact. The law is, by recent action
of the state board Of health, that
theis disease shall be quarantineu
and placarded, and it is my duty TO
see that 1t is done. am sorry that
I can not get closer cooperation with
all the doctors in the city and the
county, regarding contagion.
1.-THE trouble is that many OF the
doctors want pay for reporting sucn
cases, and some of them contend that
they do not have to report them to
the health officer II they do not care
to do so, But the law states specifl-
cally that a doctor sholl report all
contagious. diseases with which he
has to deal. OF course ! could take
legal action which would compel
them to report their cases, but 90
not like to do it if it can be helped.
.sThe reason some have conceived
the idea that they should be paid by
the state for reporting contagious
diseases. is from the fact that the
state pays a fee of 81 to every doctor
who attends a case of consumption
and has advised the best means 10
the remainder Of the family to keep
from contracting the disease. rms
has been the rule of the state board
q, health for some time past, and
some of the profession think the rec
should be paid in all cases, but tne
doctors are usually paid for theil
service in a family and, do not neeo
and should not request the fee."
Rule of Board Of Health.
The following ruling of the stat'
hoard of health at Its annual meeCnl

measles, chicken pox and whoopinl

THE PURE WHITES AND THE
MIXED,

There is great excitement in New
Orleans since the publication of the
race articles in Pearson's Magazine.
1t is said that there are only 1000
pure Caucasian families in the CITY
of New Orleans; all the rest have an
admixture of African blood. Many are
leaving Louisiana and the Catholic
church record books are being closely
watched to keep them from being de-
stroyed by colored families who have
been passing for white for more than
nine generations. Many young women
who have been raised in converts
have been adopted in white families
have found that their mothers wcro
cOlOred.
Of course, everybody is aware of
the condition of affairs which once
prevailed in Dixie, when intercourse
between the races prevailed to an al
most universal extent No doubt that
the revelations will cause a vast
amount of suffering among the unfor-
tunate victims; but they deserve little
sympathy for they are victims of a
most unhuman prejudice which they
themselves have promoted to the full
extent of their ability.
And even the thousand "pure white"
families will suffer no little ANNOYANCE
for who knows which is which?
The mills of the gods grind slow
But they grind exceedingly fine.

Mr.. eRAclE:s SUBSTITUTION

MI. John H. Oracle is one of the
Wealthiest and most progressive farm
ers in the South, owning and cultivat.
ing land by the thousand acres.
A few years since he substituted
Italians for Afro-Americans upon his
various plantations in Arkansas. He
now pronounces the Italians ''ingrates
OF the deepest dye ,'-"appear to have
no idea of fair business methods" and
"appear to be practically worthless.' u
Mr.. Gracie's experience is but a rep
etition Of that of every other planter
who has tried the same experiment.
Mr.. Oracle has tried everything he
could think Of to make his laborers
contented: built them a chapel. Sc
cured an Italian priest, etc., but the
thing was a dismal failure.
Mr.. Oracle is probably a wiser man
than he was.

to be the most opportune time for so
doing,' says the Rev. Myers.
This all reads very well, but those
who are acquainted with DR.. Myers
know that he is a jimcrowist. The
writer recalls that number of years
ago Rev. Myers in an interview in
the public press declared that he
would not baptize and receive an
Afro-f.merican into his Chicago
church. -.
We trust that DR.. Myers has been
converted TO true Christianity and
that he is not so bitter now toward
his brctherein black as he was at that
time.
If DR.. Myers still believes in segre-
cation it is to be hoped that the be-
nighted African heather will beware
OF the brand Of religion he will offer
them. and remain benighted. Better
be heather and hold up their heads
than repressed Jim crow Christians.

THE REASON WHY.
:. 6. Wells IN the
N. Y. Independent.

More acres each year are turned
out, y left to the grass, the gullies, and
the lobloily pines. No labor to cult
vate them-that is all. There are
stretches of the richest soil in Ala
bama in which a DlCw has not been
stuck for five years. There is no la.
Dor to grow cotton.
The Montgomery Advertiser thus
pictures and laments the situation in
Alabama.' But that paper does not
explain the cause of that condition
though. it knows all about it.
The politicians of the state are re-
sponsible for that condition, for it is
the natural result of their untiring ef
forts to jimcrow the Afro-American

fear Of "Negro Domination" and 80
cial equality" they have made the
condition of the laborer little less

FREEDMEN'S SAVINGS DEPOSIT
ORS,

The Senate Committee on Educa-
ticn and Labor has recommended to
the Senate that the depositors of the
Freedmans Savings and Trust Com
pany be reimbursed out of the Treas
ury of the United States, for the
amount of their losses. A sum of
Sl,291 ZOO will be needed to meet
these losses.
In its report the committee sets
forth that the Freedman's SAVINGS
and Trust Company was incorporated
under an act of Congress in 1865.
TWo-thirds of the money collected by
the company was to have been invest
in United States Securities. Officers
holding commissions under the Gov
ernmcnt, and most of them wearing
the uniform of the Government, were
in charge of the branches. For these
and other reasons. the committee held
that the Government is liable morally
for the losses.

AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY

Dr. Wilbur Chapman predicts that
the whole world is ripe for a revival
and that if a hundred influential busi-
ness men will take the proper active
interest in the evangelization move
ment 'the whole world, including
China, Japan and Australia, will be

ultimate conversion of the Mohamme-

GAS HE WAS. NOT AS HE lS."

Maj Holmes Conrad of Winchester,
Va, addressing a meeting of Confed-
crates, said: "We love the Negro as
ne was, not as he is" The sentiment
was applauded with vigor by the men
who sought to destroy the. Union.
That's the Southern idea. When
the Afro-American was a slave asgood
able-bcdied man was worth 81 500 or
$4,000 and that's why he was 'loved.'
Now that the Afro-American has
some freedom-he is not yet absolute
ly free-and is acquiring property and
educating his children he isn't "loved"
by the Southerner. He's Becoming "a
menace to Caucasian civilization"

that way. But the Afro-American pull
pet and press have, without execution
protected against and condemned
crime of all kinds. They have done
nearly all in their power.
We might retort and perhaps prove
that the Caucasian-American has done
very little better in suppressing law
lessness. The so-called superior race
has allowed the United States to be
the Aceldama of nations, excelling all
others in the number of brutal mur-
ders. What has Kentucky done with
her night riders, Tennessee with her
thugs? Simply told them to 20 in
