Brownsville VIII Not Down.

and worthy OF close study by those
white southerners VINO strive to &C
complish serious progress in the So
luton OF the so-called Negro problem.
1. The fact that education that fits
the Negro for occupations for which
he is naturally and by opportunity
qualified is equivalent to issuing an
insurance policy against his ever be
coming a criminal or a vagrant.
2. The necessity OF representative
white people lending their personal
influence to the instruction and en-
couragement OF the Negro.
8. The imperative need of meas
ures in behalf of the great mass of
Negroes in this State. the "croppers"
upon whose efforts largely depends
the prosperity OF their white neigh
bors.
There can be no question regard
ing the accuracy of each OF Parks
premises. The inefficient Negro or
the idle Negro is possible criminal,
needing only temptation or opportun-
ity to become the actual criminal.
Education that will fit him for
tasks waiting his hands-and agri-
culture leads the list in that respect
in the Southern -minimizes or
almost removes this risk. This is
precisely what Luther Rosser meant
when he said the other day. in dis
cussing the difficulty OF securing
teachers for the Negro students in
Atlanta. that there are over 1900
colored children in this city VINO are
crowded out OF school In my mind,
IL is cheaper to pay teachers to in

THOSE DUELLING OAKS.

The magnihcence of the drives a
round New Orleans is one OF its chief
characteristics. The Spanish palms
of tree like proportions attract the
attention until the mind wearIes and
becomes accustomed TO the sight We
saw the duelling oaks under which
many a man had lost his life. We
were told of a case or recent occur
renee. Il seemed that two white
men had an alteration and they a
greed to NEE under the duelling
oaks and fight il out with revolvers.
They met and boarded a street car
with their seconds.
When the car reached the place,
one OF them jumped out and began
shooting the other man before he
could defend himself. The wounds
were fatal and the actual duel as
arranged, did not take place. The
man was arrested. The result of his
trial was not stated. He was said
to be still in Jail.
The residence of Col. James Lewis
was pointed out to us but we did not
meet him. We did not have time to
accept the hospitality Of Mr.. Robert
f. Jones, the brilliant nestor OF the
OOuNiWcSltlH CuIlSLldn Advocate.
We were soon enroute to the Union
Station where we boarded the train
for the Far West.
The Sunset r. r. has oii-burning
locomotives. AS this was a matter
OF interest to us, we soon stood by
the side OF one of these mighty mon
sters. This locomotive is built just
like the coal-burning ones except that
the tender holds oil and water in
stead OF coal and water.
Some OF the tenders have an oil
tank where the coal is usually kept
while others have a tender cylindrical
in shape. There are no cinders from
the locomotive and they make good
time.

WESTERN FARM LANDS.
Many Owners Are Selling Their Hold
ings-Why Not Buy Land in the
South?

A dispatch from st. Joseph, Mo,
assumes to explain where the West
ern farmers money goes. The in
formation is based on reports from
600 bankers in Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska. According to
PSI banks, 100000 had gone out
of their communities for the pur-
chase of lands in other States. Three
hundred and thirty-four other banks
reported heavy expenditures for the
same purpose, without stating the
amounts. According TO 427 banks,
SIS, 100000 has been spent for auto
mobiles.
Commenting on this the Colum bia
State says: I'VE wonder what part
of those millions for lands was in
vested in the South? 1t was a very
small part, yet the South has the
land, and 1t offers the Westerner or
the fastener who wishes to make a
living out of the ground the greatest
opportunity. They are going TO other
States and other counties because
they do not know the South"
