A CHANCE FOR REAL FREE

FOR SALE ~

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. It is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have a rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor

Gated. There is plenty of good land

some time exploring the coast In this

his little fort. The site of this first

Mother Saved Child.

Lancaster, July 6.-Fred Poag, for
;mer Lancasterian, now living at
Franklin Furnace, N. Y, narrowly
escaped losing his little son a few
days ago. The child accompanied the
mother to Newburgh, N. Y, and while
Mrs. Poag was in store making
some purchases, the little fellow sud-
denly disappeared. Missing the boy,
Mrs. Poag at once instituted search
for him. She was informed by some
one in the store that strange wo-
man, a foreigner, had carried the
child out into the street. The mother,
frantic with fear of losing her lit
tie loved one Immediately gave chase
and after running some distance
along the crowded thoroughfare,
espied ahead Of her her son being car
ried along by the unknown woman.
About the same time the would-be
kidnaper looked backward, and see
ing Mrs. Poag in pursuit, dropped the
child and ran off in another direc-
ton.

fire spreading from a burning still OF
benzine to great tanks of oil near
by.
In the vicinity of thirty thousand
barrels of petroleum in various stages
of refinement were stored.
Two thousand people, called from
their beds by the peril, cheered the
superintendent as he came scorched
from the burning still. What would
likely have been a catastrophe similar
to that at Sheridan several years ago
when several thousand people were
injured in gasoline explosion, was
prevented, and the loss confined to
the benzine still.

Quite a number of business men of
Greenwood went to Mr.. Percy Lum-
ley's place, which is near Coronaca-
last week to see his new plow, which
is driven by a gasoline engine of
twenty-horse power. The plow will
pull from three to six discs. When
Mr.. Lumley was operating the plow
last week it was pulling three discs,
plowing up a space of about three
feet.
It is estimated that the machine
will do the work of from six to eight
plows. The cost of the plow is ST.

the work which is being done with
the plow.-Greenwood Journal.

COTTON KING" IN CONTEMPT
Supreme Court Justice Imposed
Heavy Fine on Sully.

White Plains, N. Y, July T.
Daniel Sully, we'll known as the "cot-
ton king" was declared in contempt
of Court to-day by Justice Mills, of
the State Supreme Court, and order
ed to pay a fine of $4,000 and $40
costs.
The case grew out of Sully's fail
ure, several years ago, when William
Marmon Black, a judgment creditor,
obtained a Court order restraining
Sully from paying out any money TN
til the suit of Black had been settled.
Black contended that Sully had COM
mitted contempt in paying $4,000 to
his (Sully's) wife after the order had
been issued. Sully said the payment
represented his salary of $40O a
month for little less than a year.

GIANT CEDAR TREE.
Tree was go Feet Long and II Feet
10 Inches in Diameter.

Although it sounds like the purest
fiction, an Oregon shingle mill has
just finished run of SO days, work
ing on one giant cedar log. The big
stick was II feet, 10 inches in diane
ter at the base and 80 feet long. AS the
saws used by the loggers in cutting
the logs into bolts for shingle saws
are only eight feet long, dynamite
was used in splitting the log so it
could be sawed into pieces of the
necessary size to go to the circular
saws.
Not over half a cord of timber was
wasted in the work, and when it was
finished 141,000 shingles had been
made from the single stick. The tree
grew in the forest of Tillamook coun-
ty, where there is probably the finest
st"nding timber to be found on the
continent. So dense are these forests
of fir, spruce and cedar and so lux
uriant their growth that in many
places it is almost impossible for a
man to force his way through the
underbrush that fills the narrow
spaces between the trees.-Portland,

GEN. GRANTS VALET DEAD.
George w. Stokes, Colored, Knew
Famous General.

George Washington Stokes, colored
aged 90 years, who for many months
was the valet of Gen. U. S. Grant, al
terward President of the United
States, died Friday afternoon in his
home, 532 Mosher street. in Balti-
more, says the American. He had
been i'll but a short time and his
death was due to the infrmities of
age. He was one Of the best
known colored men in this section of
the country and was very popular
with both the white and the colored
children in the neighborhood in which
he lived. For many years it had been
his custom to sit on the front porch
of his home and tell stories Of war
times to his friends.
1t is said that he attended the ia
nous General faithfully and at the
end Of the war Gen. Grant wanted to
take him home with him. However,
Stokes declined, as he thought that
he was getting well along in years,
and he wanted to 60 somewhere and
spend the balance of his days in
peace and comfort. Stokes went to
Virginia. He then came to Balti-
more.
Before the proclamation of emanci-
patton he was slave and was owned
by the Stokes family of Virginia. At
the time of the proclamation the
Stokeses told all of their slaves that
they might go where they chose, and
Washington (for he was known by
that name them enlisted in the Union
army. He was always known to be
faithful and respectful. He was pres
ent at a number Of famous occasions.
He was with Grant at the commence
ment of the 'hammering campaign y
and he watched the General touch the
telegraph key that started Sherman
on his march through Georgia. In
his stories of this, Stokes said the
General sat upon the trunk of fall
len tree at the time, and that Grant
trembled from excitement. He was
also in the vicinity of the tree under
which Lee surrendered to Grant al
Appomatox court house.
Stokes was strong in the belief
that Gen. Grant was the greatest man
that the world has ever known.
