NEVER A PLEASANT FEELING
Nervousness May Affect Different Peo.
pie in Different Ways, But It ls
Never a Welcome Visitor.

The mental state of a person suf.
fering from nerves is very much
like that of a man who is wanted by
the police, or who has just heard a
rumor that the ship on which his wife
and children have sailed has been
sunk in a collision, or who has cried
fire" in a theater and been thrown
out, and knows his name has been OBJ
tanned by the reporters. Very often it
is a combination of all three, with per-
haps the added sensation of a man in
doubt if he closed the safe before leav-
ing the office.
Perhaps some sufferers will disagree
with this and say it is not like that at
all, but rather like having fallen into
a dry well, from which you can hear
the voices of people passing neal by,
but are unable to make yourself heard,
or like having accidentally shot your
neighbours only child while cleaning a
revolver.
The point is that it is distinctly un.
pleasant.
Any bad quarter of an hour that you
may have experienced of uneasiness,
anxiety, guilt, remorse or mortifica'
ton will give you a very fair idea OF
the chronic condition of the s~o-called
neurasthenic. A good nightmare will
help.
There is nothing about this in the
books. There the symptoms are de
scribed as loss of interest" inability
to concentrate extreme depression
feeling of numbness in the extremi,
ties" etc. In a way this is true; just
as it would be true of the men referred
to above. The man wanted blythe pc
lice would take little interest in the
shop windows, and the man who thinks
the ship has sunk would not get very
far with a letter arranging the details
of a business reorganization; and as
for the man thrown out of the theater
he would probably admit, if brought tc
it, that he was profoundly depressed.
None of these individuals would fee.
that the books quite did justice tc
their feelings. And it goes without
saying that one of them would re
spond with enthusiasm if a brisk per
son came along and said: What you
need is to get your mind off yourself
or, What o need is plenty of fresh
air and exercise"
The main thing is that the nervous
victim is suffering severe mental dis
tress. He is not simply "out of sorts.

Diamond Operations.

Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the crude methods of
breaking up Acknowledging blue
earth and protecting the valuable finds
employed 20 years ago in the South
African diamond mines. The depths
of the strange crater shaped holes in
which the peculiar Acknowledging
earth is confined are now penetrated
by shafts, reaching hundreds of feet
down into the earth with 40-foot lev
els. The broken earth is removed in
closed trucks to the surface, where,
after a season of exposure to sun
and atmosphere, strewn on the
ground, it is hauled to the mills. Here
pulsators finally locate the diamonds
on gr~ease-covered inclined tables, to
which the diamonds adhere, while
loose sand, earth and gravel are
washed away by water. Acres of
ground. covered by broken earth
brought up from the mines, contain
possibly millions of dollars worth OF
gems, and these trea~sure-troves are
protected by high fences of barbed
wire, with intricate arrangements at
the orner and at the gates. About
four thousand miles of wire are used
in the defenses about the Kimberley
mines.

An Open Letter to
The Negro Bus.
mess League
BY. Charles A. Starke.

BY harleS A. Starke.
If there is anything in a name, then
the National Negro Business League
means a great national body of Negro
business men leagued together, mind
you, to promote the general order of
business among Negroes. This is dou-
bly, true in local organizations, as the
national affairs are fraught with the
convention spirit, it is to our local
league that we must look for an eff
fective work toward uplifting bust
ness standards and the promotion of
trade among ourselves. To do this
we will find it necessary to follow
the well established rules of COM
merce which has always for its basis
honesty, full value for the money and
fair dealing. Other peculiarities
should be dali with with strong and
unusual methods of race loyalty and
common sense. .
The business outlook for the negro
is great. To the wide wake the light
of truth sheds it's rays over the hori-
zon of the business world anu opens
to him possibilities never discovered
before, but across this favorable sky
e%mblazoned in bold and stern read
ing is this one commandments.
Unless. you invest your money in a
business of some kind and work and
feel the hopes and setbacks, follow
the daiyy routine with added vigor,
improve and wrestle with the thou
sand phases that bob up for consid-
GRAFTON, you can not lay claim to real
membership in the local league If that
league mean business. Then the
Negro Business League is for busl-
ness people, and business people
should only be admitted to the ranks
in order that nothing but business
might be transacted or promoted. II
you wanted to organize q carpenters
union you would not go to bricklay-
ers, iron workers or common laborers
to secure members, would you? No,
But you would naturally go to car'
penters, an d~carpenters only.
Here we have quite a contrast
from this. We have the business
league going to churches, women's
clubs and to every place but to the
highways of business life to get tim
Der for it's use, so that today we have
upon the books of the organization
a list of names that really mean moth
ing and stand for nothing in the bust
ness community. What the Negro
Business League wants now is Gus
toners and patrons of the business
the individual members and associa
tion of a roomful of vociferous per
sons arguing points of order, berat
ing each other about their knowledge
of parliamentary usages" and debat
ing whether preachers shall be ad
mitted with special honor, and tina
gratis.

Mrs. Allene James Walker, age 25,
the amiable and accomplished wife
of DR.. E. A. Walker, 1920 East Eigh-
teenth street, Kansas City, passed
away Sunday, October IS, 1914. at 4
p. m, in Columbus, Miss, near the
place of her birth, to which place she
had gone, one month previous, in
search of health, a change to a milder
climate for the winter being advised
on cou of her lingering illness.
Before marriage she was Miss AL
lene Ambrette James, eldest of the
three living children Of E. c. and Jo-
sic Motley James, well known and
wealthy land owners of Bent Oak,
Miss.
Though frail physically in early life,
her ambition was to acquire a liberal
education in the pursuit of which she
graduated from the following: High
! school, Columbus, Miss; Union acad-
envy, West Point, Miss; Fisk univer-
sity, Nashville, Tenn. Fully realizing
the commanding need Of her people
education-she began teaching near
Bent Oak in the community where she
had been reared. Her of
mind, rare devotion to duty and a
genius for %instructing, were her tow
ering qualities in the school room.
Six years close application and in
creased weight Of responsibility of in
structing, overbalanced her health and
she was forced to resign.
The numerous appeals to her to re-
main and regrets for her enforced
resignation bear testimony of her
brilliant success, and the deep love
and respect the people held for her.
At Wichita, Kas., 1912, she was a
member of the first corps of teachers
in the separate schools. Her person
atty was pleasing; her kind manner
d istinctive, love was the life of her.
Yielding to the noble calling Of won
anhood, for which her matured judg,
ment coupled with the insistent WOO,

her she was prepared, she was hap

Heard General Sherman Saw It.

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued a denial of the prevalent
impression that Gen. w. T. Sherman
said war is hell" j. P. Francis of
Nickerson declares he heard General
Sherman say it. He writes: Il never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is hell in any of his or.
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in a public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus, o., in
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the &C.
casion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address, referred to a
particular military feat which called
ton part of the troops selected to per
form the task assigned them) for
heroic courage to accomplish the task
successfully. And when he closed the
narration the militia boys gave a
hearty cheer. When the applause sub.
sided the general looked down at the
militia and said, Boys, you may think
war is great sport, but l say. war is
hell.''

1t is depressing to note with what laxity our children
are being trained in our modern homes. The old-fashioned re-
ligious influences have almost disappeared. Children are ac-
tually being encouraged in things that are vain and shallow.
The real traits of character among which are truthfulness,
fidelity, filial love, punctuality and reverence are given such
little esteem that it almost causes one to shudder for the future.
Flocks of children are seen going late to school each day.
They appear to have no idea of the value of promptness. In
many cases they are loud and boisterous upon the streets, thus
attracting the attention of those who are fond of pointing out
our frailties.
The school must not be held wholly responsible for these
things. We must look to the home for the most enduring in
fluences.
