superstitions of Southern Slaves

From the Southern WorlSmen.
 As a part of the folklore of the negro people the superstitons of slavery days are of great interest The following are some of the negro's beliefs about ghosts:
 To feel a hot breath of air strike you at twilight signifies the nearby presence of a ghost. Should you wish to avoid him stop and turn your coat and trousers and hat wrong side out and the spirit cannot encounter you. If, however, he is pernacious spirit and approaches malgre "In the name of the Lord, what do you want?" Whereupon he will tell you his business upon earth, then depart and never trouble you again.
 If on the other hand, 1t Is proving ghost, who crawls under the house, bumps against the floor makes strange sounds and whispers in the midnight hours, you will have only to put in new floor and he will do so no more. Some ghosts are obstrusive and will not only prowl about the house. but creep in through the cat hole or under the crack Of .ne door dur ing the wee sma hours of the night, ana once inside expand to vast proportions
 To spare yourself any disturbance Tn this way SOW mustard seed all about the doorstep just before going to bed. or place a sieve on the doorstep. Before entering the .pirit will have to count all the holes in the sieve on all the mustard seeds and by this time daylight will come and he will have to go. As the counting for one night will not do for another you are always safe.

Corporation Using Trucks

All statesmen of whatever line are well acquainted with the fact that corporation heads are as a rule rather slow to grasp any new proposition; that is true in auto mobile trucks. However, the fact that the Southern Express company has in- stalled Kelly trucks in Birmingham to transfer express from the Terminal sta tion to the city offices, has encouraged some dealers to boost truck sales.
 The Southern Express company man agement has now in service one of the largest trucks in Birmingham. It pro- ceeds up Fourth avenue to the Terminal station with a tremendous amount of ex press every day. The truck carries about 25 times as much as the old fashioned wagons and has proven emnently. satis- factory in every way. The company, 1t is stated, would not change to horses now for any odds The truck bears all the we'll known lettering of the Southern Express company The truck moving at a brisk pace up the streets reminds one of some nifty little bungalow going along a thor oughfare, that is if one has ever observed a bungalow loafing up an avenue.
 Truck sales at Birmingham, 1t is said are rather brisk. However, extraordinary efforts are to be put forth by the Kelly people, the Drennen company, the Dren- nen Motor Car company, the Studebaker corporation, the Highland garage, and otters to increase the use of trucks in Birmingham.

THE BOY AND THE HANDCART
Contrasting Methods as Regarded
 From Different Points of View

From the New York Sun.
 There's q boy that's going to get on He has thoughtfulness and care, and some idea of the value of property"
 Thus one man to another, prompted by sight of the manner in which the boy ahead had managed handcraft in cross ing a street.
 The usual way of boy with a hand cart in such circumstances is to let the cart drop from the sidewalk with a grand jounce and then bang it up against the curb on the other side, to tilt up the front wheels then and bang the rear wheels into the curb and then to lift the rear end of the cart and drop the rear wheels on the sidewalk with slam. all tending tc smash things up and shake things apart and shorten the life of the vehicle generally.
 This boy had lowered the handcart down over the curb carefully and when he had arrived at the opposite side of the street he there tilted the handcart up with care and then raised the rear end up gently, thus getting the cart up on the sidewalk with no slamming or bang ing, and that was what prompted the
