The Fight and thd Race Question.

Washington ID. G. July Fin the
sections Of the sonth where the race
question is Il Vital issue and in many
cities alang the 'borderland" the
JcffricS- Johnson fight has taden on an
aspect Of seriousness and apprehension
is felt rs 10 the results of the outcome
if the negro wins the battle. The negroes
throughout the south are intensely in
tcrestcd in the fight and eagerly grasp
snch phrases from the newspapers as
the struggle for the supremacy Of the
race. " SO much has been said about
JeffrieS winning back the title for the
white" he has been 50 constantly
dubbed the hope of the white
race" and all trough the events
leading up to the fight so
much stress had been laid upon the
fact that Jeffries only agreed to fight
on account his desire to defend his
color, that many ignorant negroes
have begun TO look upon the fight as a
content which actually will determine
their position in the social scale.
Public officials and few remain
ing congressman, who come from the
south. today confirmed the reports Of
anxiety. They declined to be quoted,
but talked freely of the danger OF the
negroes having their heads turned by
n victory for Johnson,
why. some of the these young
negroes now are so proud that it is
hard to get along with them," said
one southerne but If Jeffries should
be beaten by Johnson, they will be
crowding white women off the side
walks and there are plenty OF towns
where such an act as that will cause
serious and doplorable trouble"
Jeffries has few supporters among
the white people Of the South, either
except that they hope that Johnson
will not win.
IT'S hard for me to form an
opinion" said a Southern representa-
tive. Il think that a white man who
would deliberately get in a ring to fight
a negro deserves to be beaten to death.
If Jeffries is defeated, most Southerners
will say he got what was coming TO him.
On the other hand they will regret that
the negroes should be stirred up to alb
surd and dangerous exultation and be-
lief that the supremacy Of the black
over the white has been established. +"

Bull bitten BY snake.

Slate Run, Pa, July 2.-While rat
tiers have not been 50 plentiful this
season as formerly, some extra fine
Specimens have been gathered in this
vicinity, and the apprehension that the
crop was going TO be short this year
has been dispelled.
Animals are rarely bitten, though oc-
casionally a careless one, like a careless
person, gets inoculated. w. II. Miller
Of Cammal, has a bull which he valued
at $3.50, and while eating about stone
pile in the pasture it was bitten by one
of the largest snakes ever harvested
here. The bull is in a very critical con-
dition, and it is doubtful il the animal
will live. its body being swollen to huge
proportions. Dogs are more frequently
bitten than other animals, and instinct
tells them what to do They seek mud
puddIes and bury the injured part, il
possible, in mud and stay there till the
swelling goes down. A dog rarely sue
cumbs to a bite.
