Social Equality for Blacks
Is Impossible.

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 5.-Gov. Beckett.
answering a Chicago query, says that
North Carolina can absorb $4,000 ne
groes who want to return from Illinois
to the south unless "they have become
tainted or intoxicated with dreams OF
social equality or political dominion"
The governor was asked how many
negroes this state could absorb. The
message said those desiring to return
were negroes who went to Chicago to
engage in war work and were Of the
Industrious class. The governor wired
in reply that this state could absorb
$4,000 negroes "who may desire to
come to this state for employment for
wages" He declared, however, that
social equality and political Nower
in the south is forever impossible"

Korean Religion.

Nowhere is the great antiquity OF
Korean civilization so clearly shown
as in the minds of their religious be-
liefs. The all-around Korean, when
in society, is a Confucianist; he is a
Buddhist when he philosophers, and
a spirit .worshiper when he is in trOu-
BILE. His religion is one OF dragons,
devils, elves, imps and COLLINS, In
which the spirits Of dead humanity
are here and there present; where
eternal shades walk about; in which
hills, trees and rivers-even diseases
have personalities bearing woes ana
terrors to all men.

Electrical Currents.

Different methods are in use for
keeping the supply of electricity
steady in spite Of the varying de-
mands made On it. In some systems
of distribution, instead of the two
main conductors being one positive
and the other negative, each is posi-
tive and negative alternately, the re-
versals taking place some hundreds OF
times a second The current is then
said to be alternating. When such re-
versals do not take place, the cur
rents are said to be direct.
