"Worth Looking At

Yes, If young couples would look
at it the right way, good bank ac-
count is well worth looking at" 1t
Is right after marriage-before any
family comes along that saving
should be begun. It is the husband
who must do it, but the wife can
help him greatly. Proper economy

soon swell the bank account. We in

Tue only attention We pay to q
ene'ze at the present day is TO en-.
deAvor to get rid of the chill which
causes il, but sneeze in the dave of
Old Greece was a matter Of great
concern and import.
There was then a god Of snes zing
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned il mau sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the &C. being
looked upon as the oracle Of The god.
A sneezo between midnight and
noon was looked upon as Fortunate
sign, but between noon and midnight
it betokened great misfortune. To
hneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left unlucky. Two or four enc, zes
were lucky, one or three very I'M
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should il possible be abandon ed ,
more than four sneezes did not
CONT.
There is saying in many parts of

sneezed together it was a good sign,
particularly il they happened to be

CORN COB ROT.

The corn cob rot is fungous dis
ease which is spreading very rapidly
over several states and has gained a
strong hold In several sections of West
Virginia. The disease works on the
cob, causing 1T to fall apart into SOW
eral divisions when little pressure Is
exerted on the ear. AS all fungous
diseases, 1t is easily and rapidly
spread. and great precautions should
be taken TO avert it. The spores OF
this funeous disease survive in the
soil over winter, and corn planted in
the Same field another year NAV he
affected by the disease. 1t may be car
ried to other fields by planting corn
which came from a section where the
disease was prevalent. I would ad-
wise farmers Of this state to avoid
planting corn on fields where the dis
ease was present last year, and also
not to send away for seed corn which
by chance might have come from a
field where the disease existed.
1t Is absolutely necessary that strict
precautions be taken to check the
spread Of this disease, which is oon-
sidered to be a serious menace to the
corn crop. l. g. COOK, JR..

President Taft's taffy speech to the
colored people OF Washington last
Tuesday night was the lamest effort
he ever put before sensible Negroes.
When be told those people tba. kill
inGSare due TO delays In Q s. Courts,
be urges trials at oDcs. Is that
righ.? Certaiuly not. How many
hundreds OF Negroes have been muir.
dered. when if time and fair trials
bad obtained. innocent would bave
been the verdict. The night MIR.
Taft was speaking-possibly The very
hour,.-a court had set coIored per-
son free who hnd been charged With
writing TO white woman, and Was
lynched by mob. Now when the
c'urts sct and the hoodlums kill
what is Mr. Taft who ls 1T the head
or all the courts going TO do2 II he
means any thing be means, il tho
courts will hurry up and Kill Negroes
1T will save ]yDcbsrs the work.
What Is true in Beach's case, is a
thousand times in other crimes
charged to Negroes. For ins.au ce,
the aheriff who gave his wife $16,-
700 and pistol, telling her to shoot
II any one tried to rob her, as it
would ruin hin, kissed her goodbye
and left to be gooe three days, and
returned TO his own home thas night,
and whilo stealing to her room to
steal the money, she shot and killed
him, aod wife thinking she had done
her husband great favor ran to her
nearest Deighbor and told them ho "
she had killed "nigger", but 10 and
behold it proved to be her own bus-
band with fsce, hands and neck
b!hckened. Take that Missi ssip pi
white man who colored bis face with
burnt cork and was killed by New
fonndland dog, for breaking into q
white womsn's room. Another case
fresh in the minds OF every reader
when that highly educated and rich
GsorgiaD, two or three ysars ago,
dressed in womens clothes, black
ensd his face, got buggy and drove
to house whore that beautiful white
girl and bis cousin lived,and told her
her brother,-A Decor was diving
and sent for. Hurredly she got
ready and into the buggy by the sid g
OF the old black nanny, but fvrtu
nately she took her revolver with
Ter, and when be got to the woods
drove into then and when she insis
ted they were off the course be
sprang on her and during the ecuffl O
che shot him--he was tried, convict,
ed apd is still serving time. And
now Mr.. Beach whose wife's throat
he cut. sod sfterward nade her tell
the world that "a niger did it," and
she told the trulh, but it was a white
bigger, and is being brought from
London to be tried.

the profession to win tleir po-its.
1t was fought out on clean ana

There is no doubt taat 10 the
mastery argument of Attorney Al
JENNINGS fer the defense In which
he pleaded what was known to be a
hopeless cause the prisoner owes his
life. It is understood the first ballot
stood eleven for conviction and one
for acquittal, several ballots being
taken before a decision upon tnis
