Automatic Trains For Mail.

Bids have been asked from the prin- cipal electrical engineering firms for the equipment of the postoffice tube railway on which trains are to be run without driver or other attendant The system, which is new, has been evolved after long investigation by the engineers of the postoffice. Many trial runs have been made on an experimental track at Wool wich, in which the gauge, gradients and radii of curves of the actual line were reproduced ,and these tests have shown that the method is capable of achieving all that is required
 The first section of the line extends over six and one-half miles from the western terminus at Paddington district postofice to the eastern district postoffice at Whitechapel. The tube will not only link up these two offices, but also the western district and western central dis trict postoffices. the western parcels of- fee, the hail-sorting office at Mount Pleasant, the new general postoffice, the northwestern railway through the Broad street terminus and the Great Eastern Railway. To avoid other tube lines, the depth of the railway from the surface varies, between stwenty-ei ight. feet and about ninety feet>-London Times.

GREAT MOUND SERPENT NOW
PARK IN OHIO

A great serpent 1900 feet long,
built of earth and stone, symbol of
the religion of ancient peoples, stands
a few miles from West Union, Ohio,
as the most interesting and important
earthwork left by the mound builders
of Ohio.
Situated in a rather Sc luded spit,
supposedly selected by the mound
builders for privacy in performing
their ancient rites, the massive reptile
winds, gracefully back from a glen to
higher land. The serpent's head rests
upon rock platform which presents
a precipitous face to the descending
sun and is about 100 feet high. The
jaws of them outh are widely extend
ed in the act of swallowing an egg,
represented by an oval ridge of earth.
AS the mound builders shaped the
body they caused it to make four large
folds as it tapered back to the tail
which is folded in three complete
and close coils.
The land alb ut this curious relic
of primitive days is low at the head,
but gradually .ascends toward the
tail. There is ample room on all
sides for a gathering of many peo-
pie, and the belief is expressed that
the idol worshipers gathered on all
sides OF their altar to pour forth
praise, or beseech forgiveness and
blessings from the beautifully hide
Gus god of their own creation,
The Serpent Mound" was purchas-
ed by Prof. F. w. Putnam of the pea
body museum, Cambridge, Mass, in
1887, along with about 70 acres of ad-
jacent land, and shortly afterward a
beautiful public park was laid out
on the ground. Thus in present days
the spot of reverence sacred to the
people who preceded civilization in
the nation is used as a playground
for picnickers and pleasure seekers.
The deed to the land is vested in the
museum attached to Harvard Univer-
sity.
Those who have made a study of
the work of the mound builders have
estimated that in Ohio alone there
are more than 10000 mounds and
from $500 to 1000 enclosures stand
ing as monuments to their work. BY
the study OF ancient implements
and burial places found in and near
these mystery hills it has been found
possible to form conception Of their
life.

COUNTY COUNCIL DRIVE IN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE

A drive to further the county coun-
ellis of agriculture of Middle Tennes-
see; get new members for those al
ready organized; make temporary
organizations permanent; and to
form organizations in counties not
having them at this time, will be
started about October /. The Mid
die Tennessee Farmers Institute in
it's annual meeting at Columbia in
August went on record as favoring
the county council of agriculture as
the accepted form for county organi-
cation and agreed to foster such an
organization for each county in that
grand division of the State.
As an outcome of this action by
the Institute, Col Harry Berry, the
new president of the organization;
G. c. Burkitt, secretary and Prof C.
A. Keffer, director OF the Division OF
extension, met with leaders in some
of the county councils at Nashville
recently and took steps to inaugurate
a special drive for county council of
agriculture organization for that sec
ton. The plan is to hold get-togeth-
meetings and ptcnics in the vari-
Gus counties at which leaders in
other county councils Will discuss the
value of the organization In their
county and tell what tney have &C.
complished. Maury, Williamson and
Lawrence, Wilson. and a few other
counties have already had such meet
ings and they have proven OF great
value.
Z Leaders state that there is no bet
ter place to engender a spirit of CO.
operation than at a picnic or meet
ing like the ones planned. The spir-
it for organization is~ strong among
the farmers thruopt the country. The
county council Of agriculture Ia the
accepted form. Its duties are to pro-
mote interests Of rural people in the
same way that a chamber of COM
nerce promotes interest of the city.
The duty of the council is to an
ticipate and foster everything that is
for the betterment Of the people Of |
the county; benefit the farmer and |
at the same time bring about o
community interest between farm
people and town people. The plan
Of organization is simple. In many
counties OF the state the councils are
doing many things for the farmers.
County viii hold get
together meeting October II. which
will be one Of the first in the special
drive. VA

New York, N. Y, asking for it's CO.
operation in the efforts of the Fedora
ton to solve the vital problem o. the
"under-privileged" boy, one of the
greatest human problems that our
country is facing. He states that in
no sense does the work of the or
ganization conflict with that of the
Church. On the contrary, it is an
aid to the Church, reaching material
that neither the Church nor Church
clubs can successfully reach and with
out bias, placing that material in the
hands of the Churches for spiritual
guidance, distributing to each Church
its own, WITHOUT REGARD TO
RACE, CREED OR COLOR"
Elsewhere in our columns we pub

ton and it is hoped that some of our
good citizens will interest themselves
to the extent of writing to Mr.. Patchen
to learn the plans upon which the de.
sired cooperation may be given. I

gists, said then that he was Hand
Picked Leader"
The condition of the colored race
in this country is due to these "hand.
picked leaders" Now, in the first
place, Major Motion represents, a class
of white men and not the Colored
Americans
He is not only "hand-picked
leader" but an apologist who fails to
resent an insult. Would any Ameri-
can white man Of any nationality at
tempt to make excuses for an insult
to his wife by a common carrier.
Has this not been the policy of all
hand picked leaders? This hand
picked representative apologies for
the insult offered his wife while en-
route to her home. Will Major Mo-
ton, the newly installed principal of
Tuskegee, enter--a suit for damages?
No, he would offer an apology. to those
who had insulted his good wife. The
Bee has always been an admirer of
Major Motion, and thought that he
possessed manly traits, that would
commend him to the thoughtful con-
s1deratiOn of the American black
race, but The Bee must confess that
he is a hand-picked leader and an

SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE.

1t is with considerable regret and
chagrin that we note the defeat of
the amendment to the Esch railroad
bill offered by Congressman Madden
Of Illinois, designed to do away with
the Jim crow accommodations now
supplied to colored people on rail-
roads in the south.
The Jim crow law never should have
been conceived, much less enacted, as
it is absolutely WRONG and caters to
a prejudice as wrong as itself.
Once, some years ago, it will be
remembered, there were several COL
ored members of Congress elected by
the majority vote in thir several dis
trlcts, just as the members of the
present Congress were but if those
men were living now, they would not
be allowed to travel in the South
without being Inundated and outs
ragged by being forced into Jim crow
cars just because they had visible
admixture of African blood in their
composition. The present Congress
had an opportunity to correct this
great wrong but refused to do So, be-
cause the southern members did not
want it. -. ID 49,.
