Sneezinq.

We frequently hear the expression,
God bless you!" uttered after some
one has sneezed. The expression, II
we can believe Clodd in his Child
hood of the World" dates back to
the time Of Jacob. We are told In
Jewish literature that previous to his
time men sneezed but once In life
time and that was the end Of them,
for the shock slew them. Jacob pre-
vailed in prayer and had the fatality
set aside on the condition that among
all the nations a sneeze should be hal
lowed by the words, God bless you!"
In the "Jataka," one of the books OF
the Buddhist Scriptures we read that
the expression was. May the blessed
Lord allow you to live!'
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened
to sneeze. The priests gave vent to
the exclamation, and Buddha lectured
them for interrupting his discourse.
IF when a person sneezes,' he
asked land you say, May he live,'
will he live the longer?"
Certainly mott" cried the priests.
"And If you do not say it will he
die any the sooner?"
Certainly not" was the reply.
Then said Buddha, from this
time forth If any one sneeZes and
priest says May you live he shall be
guilty of a transgression. London
Spectator.

cause it is the Surest deliverance from
our race problem, as Senator Illlmah
himself has so strongly argued. The
proportion OF negroes to whites is
too large. too oppressively and crush
ingly large. in every southern state,
and my hope is that ultimately the
tides of migration and immigration
will equalize population until the pro-
portion of negroes in no state Will
exceed 30 per cent. We must train
the negro-the more ignorant he is
the greater the burden on the south
but at best the process will be slow,
and at present it would probably not
be too much to say that In considering
our whole population, including our
great constructive leaders and captains
of industry. the average negro I'm the
CarOlinas in ecOr Nmic worth and eftl-
cheney Is only half as useful as the
average white man. In other words,
in rating general average of efficiency
we should put the white man at 100
and the negro at so, so that county
half white and half negro would have
an average efficiency Of rs, or a ham
dicap of 25 per cent as compared with

WHAT BECAME OF jim LOWRY.
Story of His Death Six Months After
killinq Shelby Policeman.

For Jim Lowry's capture $1,000 re-
wards were offered by state, county
and sheriff. Fifty suspects have been
arrested in different places in many
states, but no Jim Lowry has been
caught. The mysterious case has
baffled police officers and still the mys-
terry remains unsolved, unless the death
of a Jim Lowry, near Kings Mountain
and near the South Carolina line six
months after the tragedy in Shelby Of
fers the true solution.
It is stated that Jim Lowry died OF
pneumonia from exposure in hiding
from arrest, at a colored mans house
three miles from Kings Mountain and
on the road from Yorkville, and was
buried at a colored church near Whet-
stone Mountain, near the South Caro-
lima line.
Jim Lowry, alias Jim jenkins, son
of Rev. Stephen Jenkins, colored, OF
York county, S. c., was found sick and
almost helpless in field back OF the
negro's house three miles from Kings
Mountain. He refused to enter the
house until after sunset, then he was
helpless and was carried into the house
He had on his person $50 and no
pistol. Before he died he disclosed his
name and told where his father lived
That night he died and was buried
next day. After deducting SIC for
clothes and coffin. the party sought
Stephen Jenkins, the father. told his
tale and message. The father did not
believe the tale, was suspicious ano
refused to accept the remaining $l4 IN
cash.
Is this true? 1t appears credible
vet others doubt the death OF the des-
perado. Rufus Brooks, clever negro
who has lived here fourteen years IL

nation from the man who buried jim
Lowry.
Policeman r. Shelton Jones, while
trying to arrest the slayer, was Killed
after midnight at l o'clock Sunday
morning, August, 1902, by Jim Lowry
colored, who had fled from Yorkville
S. c.. to escape a sentence of three
years. Most of our readers remember
the sad tragedy and the fruitless ef-
forts to capture the slayer.
This version may solve the mystery
but it awaits further proof of its accu-
racy.-Shelby Highlander.
