Americas To Wage
Fight on Mosquitoes
Pests VIII Be Very Numerous In
Summer

That Americas will have a mos
quito plague this spring and SUM
mer is assured in the continued rains
and resultant stagnant water, aad it
would seem the part Of wisdom for
the board Of health aud city authori-
ties to take hold Of the problem in
advance to the end Of eradicating
tile pests as much as possible. Ker-
osene might be used effe lively in
all places where they might be sup
posed to breed and it will be sup
piled free to all who wish to use it
in places ON their premises whore
there may bc standing water. This
step should be taken in the interest
Of both health and comfort and it is
hoped that il will prove as success
ful as it has done in many other
places

Seed Cane In Tree Tops;
Fish Found In Cotton Field

4 slight idea Of the enornity Of
the flood that deluged this section
On Monday Of last week isgained BY
Tie many remarkable incidents that
are being related.
Mr.. J. d. Newman Of the Graves
community and one Of the most
highly esteemei citizens Of the coun-
ty, leports that his seed cane, which
had been planted, was washed up
and the next day lie recovered q
considerable quantity Of it from the
tops Of small trees, where it had
lodged, some distance away
Mr.. r. L. McRee, who lives five
miles from the city on the New
Hope road, ate fish for dinner til d
were taken from hole washed in
the middle Of cotton field over
which water had never before run,
On ridge in this field were found
large numbers Of fish that were left
on the earth when the food waters
subsidized. Standing in his tracks
Mr.. McRee counted 20 fish lying
on the ground, and says that at
least two bushels Of them could have
been picked up in 4 small areas
It IS reported that on the farm Of
Mr.. NJ. d. Davidson Of Graves a
wire fence and the posts were washed
away. and on the same place 4 bridge
was carried some distance and lodg-
Ell on the top of another fence.
The damage the unprecedented
rain did the farmers Of the county
reaches many thousands Of dollars.
Farm work in this section was
already badly behind on account Of
the continued rains during the win
ter and early spring, but many Of
them had managed to get thegreater
portion Of their lands planted. In
many places the young plants were
washed NJ, in others where the
plants had not sprouted she seeds.
were unearthed, while all over this
county the rich top soil and fertilizer
put out this year have been washed
to the lowlands. Many heretofore

How many people would guess
that the Atlantic end Of the Pana-
ma Canal is on the west coast Of
Panama and that the Pacific end is
on the east coast? Look at the

Although there is nothing new IN

worthy Of note that the United
States Geological Survey has just
issued a large map Of North Ameri-
ca, 28x3O inches, in thee 60 orr,
This Is probably the most general
map Of its character that has yet
been published and is particularly
well adapted for school york. 1t j

siderable detdl the major geograph-

map is sold BY the Director Of thu
Geological Survey, Washington, D
C., at the nominal price Of 70 cents

mofiy with Southern sentiment and
conditions We shall increasingly
receive tbs rewards q honest toll
and civic protection due to honest
toll. The South is the section
where, the native American stock,
tile genuine Anglo Saxon. still pre-
dominates and increases. The
South il Christian, patriotic. pro-
eresaive, and the I.ssro can safely
trust Ills destiny and that Of his
children, under God, in the hands
Of Christi,1n spirit and sentiment Of
the sout. With the growth Of me-

expect the gradual elimination Of
that class 81 negroes who kill peace
officers and commit other crimes IN
All sections that provoke violence,
to the detriments Of peace order
and good sill.
More and more the nation is
coming to a better understanding
Of Southern conditions and to see
that the Southern policy Of separa-
ton is not only inevitable but best
in every way for both races. The
student Of history, be he white or
black, is wen aware that never be-
fore in all history have two such
idissimilar races been placed in the
same territory with so little Of race
riots and race animOsities. Six
millions 81 negroes are living among
the Southern whites and are on the
whole living peaceably. Race out
breaks are quite the exception, not
1.-THE rule by any means.
/; Surely the prayers Of every Chris
titan of either race must be that, an
dea Gods overriding providence,
each race may so work out its sepa-
rate and peculiar genius and destiny
as to be Of benefit to the other in the
promotion 81 the general welfare Of
humanity. Forced has made all
races by His creative power, and

The Black Man North and South.

An article on the Negro in
Cleveland, Ohio, in a recent IS.
sue Of the New York Independent,
contains the following significant
statement:
The negro in this city Of Cleve-.
land is given the opportunity Of
making his living as he sees fit; he
improves the opportunity and Is
happy. He does not complain be-
cause the white man does not take
him to his bosom and treat him as
a boon companion. There is no
social equality between the two races
and at the same time no bitterness
over 1t. Both races are too wise to
let that enter into the relation be-
tween them. They are to distinct
races. The negroes live by them
selves IN Central Avenue. Cedar
Avenue and Doan street. Accord
/ q to the census of 1900 there were
| 8 900 Of them. The two races pre-
or to live by themselves in their
home life. AS tile negro population
Increases and new land il needed to
accommodate it, adjacent property
is always ready for sale at a cheap
price. Men of the two races may
meet on the streets or in business.
We read further that there are a
few negro lawyers, doctoes and
dentists in Cleveland and that these
secure business only from members
Of their own race, and yet it is as
serted that the people of Cleveland
have come near to furnishing tho
world at large an ideal condition Of
affairs between the races,
We have described these state
4nents as significant because they
show that the ideal inter~raccial
conditions in Cleveland are funda-
mentally the same as those found
in Southern States. The people Of
Cleveland have solved their negro
problem or teink they have, BY a.
dopting the Southern plan involv-
ing the complete separation of the
races in all social relations and in
the matter Of residence, The main
difference seems to be that in the
South wider industrial field is
opon to the negro than is the case
in Ohio or any Northern State, as
has been shown by repeated and vo-
luminous testimony from many
sources.
Why, then, should an occasional
souther lynching and a necessarily |
franchise among the
blacks blind the eyes of Northern
writers to the good fortune Of South
ern negroes as they develop in their
own sphere?
This very question, which is per- j
tinent and altogether reasonable,
occurs to the mind Of an intelligent
Texas negfo, who in writing to the
Fort Worth Record, says:
Taking it all and all, it is evil
dent that in proportion as we ne
groes improve, our opportunities
for usefulness in the South in har' !
