Complaints are becoming general
throughout the state on account OF the
excessively high rates being charged
by the fire insurance companies. The
rates in many instances becoming pos
itiyely prohibtiye as is the case in
Kinder, where the rate has been
boosted up to $1,000 on the hundred,
and also here in Welsh where the rate
in some instances is even higher than
in Kinder, while on substantial brick
buildings that are occupied by bust
nesses involving only ordinary risks
the rate has been raised to nearly
81 90 on the hundred. The worst of
the matter is that there seems to be no
uniformity OF rate, or definite grounds
required for the advancement of rates
to almost any limit. The rates have
advanced here in Welsh during the
past four years, on several buildings,
more than 80 per cent, and the end
does not seem yet. 1t is not to be
wondered at that insurance companies
are finding it difficult to find invest
ments for their surplus earnings, when
they are permitted to mulct the peo-
pie Of the state as they are
now doing. This is but another in
dication that Louisiana needs an en-
tire change in her system of govern
ment.

Welsh Merchant Finds More Money In
the Country Than He Had Expetted

). ). Gerson, one of the well known
merchants OF Welsh, says there is
more money in this locality than he
had expected. Mr.. Gerson inaugurated
big Slaughter Sale of his surplus
stock last Saturday to continue for
week or more. He says the first DAYS
sales amounted to more than double
what he had expected they would and
that the people all seem to have money
TO spend if they are shown what they
want and at prices that are an induce
ment to buy.

Presbyterian e. z. Enjoyed Pleasant
Social Evening.

Some tlftv or more members and
friends OF the Presbyterian Christian
Endeayor, enjoyed pleasant social
evening at the homo of Mr.. aud Mrs.
w. B. Gabbert. Friday. The usual
run of social chat, interspersed with
mental contests. filled the earlier part
OF the evening. An abundant supply
of cream and cake contributed their
part toward making the latter part OF
the occasion pass of pleasantly.
Thanks are due to Mr.. and Mrs. Cab
bert for the use of their commodious
home and to the social committee, for
nicely arranged evenings amuse-
ment.

D. R.'READ, EDITOR.

No truer assertion was ever made,
than that Of Senator Borah, republi-
can, of Idaho, when he asserted that
the North plays the hvpocrit in con-
tending that the predjudices against the
Negro are any less marked in The North
than they are in the South 1t is fact,
known and admitted by all fair
minded men, north or south, that
there is vast difference between the
two races, and the socalled race pred
judce against the negro is as clearly
defined in the north as in the South.
In spite of the fact, that in her mis-
guided philanthropy, the North pam
pered and petteG the Negro, following
his emancipation, she has more than
her hands full now in trying to solve
the problems that always arise where
two races live 10 such close proximity.
a dozen northern states today are
trying to pass jim Grow laws, while
an equal number are seeking for a
law that will stand the f:est of the
courts, for the segregation of the rae
eS in the public schools. The same
predjudices are exhibited there as here.
The Negro is burned at the stake in
northern states for the same crime
that q like punishment is meeted out
to him for in the South. The North
has its race riots, that rival any that
ever occurred in the South. The north
has its cities and mining camps in
which Negro is not allowed to STAY,
The Negro is pushed to the outer edge
OF The industrial world in the North
as well as in the South. The North ia
PLAYING false role when it is trying
topose as the only friend of the Negro,
One of the Surest proofs of this error
is the fact that the northerner who
casts his lot in the south soon become
The worst 'niger hater" of the whole
community.

AT time when other civilized ma
tions of the world are sending aid to
China in her great suffering of famine
and plague, Russia is preparing to
send her armies to the Chinese from
teer in order TO wiring from that dis
tressed nation accession to the terms
OF very distasteful treaty. In the
interest of fair play it is to be hoped
neutral powers will intervene and
force Russia to keep the peace until
China RECEIVERS from her present in
ternal distress.

Charles V. at Tahls.

Emperor Charles V of Austria. by far the most powerful ruler of his day. was thus described as he appeared at table by Roger Ascham. secretary to the English ambassador. in 1850: ''I stood hard by the emperor's table. He had four courses; he had sod beef very good--roast mutton. baked hare: these be no service in England. The emperor hath good face. constant look: he fed well of a capon; l have had better from mine hostess Barnes many times in my chamber. He and Ferdinando. king of the Romans. ate together very handsomely. carving themselves where they list. without any curiosity. The emperor drank the best that ever saw; be had his head in the glass five times as long as any of us and never drank less than a good quart at once of Rhenish wine" It was notorious that the emperor ate and drank immoderately. and as a nat urai result be suffered terribly from gout from the time he was thirty years old
