The omnipresent Reporter.

American newspapers are spending
considerably more on their service
abroad than for parallel service in
America. Who knows better the
things Americans are interested In
than the managing editors who au-
thOrize this? Any event of more than
local interest in Europe calls the
American journalists to the spot. For
example. one morning at 10 o'clock
In London, | strOlIed into British
labor congress. met there six
American newspapermen, and but
three or four British. Let any trOu-
Bile start In Ireland and every New
York paper will have Its man on the
scene inside of twelve hours, If he is
not there already. All over Europe,
stationed at strategic centers, is the
American correspondent within reach
ing distance of anything that may
happen.--From the New Republic.

Can't Lose Their Addresses.

New Jersey seaside mothers, who
have been bothered in keeping tab on
their children, have adopted the meth
Cd of embroidering their addresses on
the back of the bathing suits worn by
the youngsters. 81 live at 81 South
Texas avenue" read a neatly en-
brOidered inscription across the Shout
ders of suits worn by two young bath
ers who strolled about the Chelsea
beach the other day. When they were
tired of the beach and breakers they
turned their backs to the life guards
and inquired: How do We get where
1t says on our backs?' The necessary
directions were given and they
reached home safely.

WEST UNION

Bro. OVERLY has been conducting
series of meetings at this place
for the past week, rather an unfa-
vorable tine for preaching under an
arbor, but some able discourses
were delivered. Good attention and
good crowds, both day and night

Tobacco Has Good
Body; Color is Dark

There has been very little loose
tobacco moving this week, and most
that is moving is going to prize
houses to be priced for the account
of farmers. No doubt the greatest
part of the unsold stocks will be
held by the farmers in their barns
until next season. Just how much
there is of this is guess, but we
would say from 2 to million
pounds in this district, and the
greater part of it is low and COM
mon grades.
There have been some sales dur
ing the week of old as we'll as new
leaf. Some new wrappers and self
workers selling at 20 to rs cents,
and some small lots of new common
and low leaf selling at 10 to 10
cents. There has also been quite a
sprinkle of old leaf of common and
low grades sold at prices ranging
from 10 to 10 cents. The greater
part of this was Association stock.
The weather during the past week
has been rather unfavorable for the
growing crop. A heavy wind and
rain storm on Friday the 23rd did
some damage to the growing crop,
but this is not serious, but the
weather has been threatening and
unsettled during the greater part
of the week, and very little cutting
has been done until yesterday and
today. Now the weather is cooler
and clear and cutting is in full
progress. We think by the end OF
the week that fully Is per cent OF
the crop will be housed in good
shape. We estimate that about ~
per cent of the crop is late ana
most of it will remain in the field
until farmers become frightened
about frost. The late tobacco IS Oh
good size but is not matured' If cut
right away the weight will be llgn'
and the quality poor.
The early cuttings have been
pretty we'll cured and the tobacco
seems to have good body and runs
dark in color. Bright and hgn'
brown styles will be rather scarce,
but there will be an abundance Oh
good heavy dark substantial STOCK
We think the yield for the western
district will run close around oO
million pounds, possibly a little
above.

Home Burns on Eve
of Moving to Town

Mr.. Will Taylor, brother of DR..
T. F. Taylor, lost his home, east of
Dresden, Friday at II O'Clock by
fire. Practically all the contents
were saved, except the kitchen fur
niture and most of this was lost.
Dinner was being prepared and the
fire started from a flue in the cook
room. 1t had gained considerable
head way when discovered, starting
between the ceiling and the roof
and spread rapidly, and it was i'm
possible to get the things out of the
kitchen.
Hr. Taylor carried $3.50 insurance
on house. He was getting ready
to move to Dresden on the follow
ing day, Saturday, and had quite a
deal of the things packed ready to
move the next morning, which he
did, occupying Joe HOlbrook's cot
tage, near the railroad.

Small Clouds on Jupiter.

Prof. w. H. Pickering, in recent
address before the British AstrOnom-
Ical association, recalled the fact that
during his observations at Arequipa he
noticed that the surface of Jupiter, in
stead of being composed of uniform
bands of yellowish white or brown,
really consisted Of an enormous num-
Der of extremely minute reddish brown
clouds seen upon perfectly white
background. The effect of belts was
produced where the clOudlets were nu-
merOus, and the light spaces where
they were scarce He compared the
appearance of these spots to the we'll
known rice grains" on the sun. Their
length lay in the direction of rotation
of the planet He said he had since
observed the cloudletS in Jamaica and
they have been seen in England by
Phillips and SteavensOn-SCientitic

FOREIGNERS ARE GREATER
MENACE THAN BLACKS
SAYS SoUTHERNER

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Shelby, N. c., May 25.-The News
Of last Friday has the following tc
say, editorially, about "Our Colored
Brothers."
1--WE wish to make clear our at
titude toward the Colored race in
America. While we desire to be
classed as a foe of undesirable
foreign immigration, yet we would
as strongly oppose persecution or
mistreatment either of our foreigners
'or of non-white elements in our DO.
pulation.
ut is especially true of our at
titude toward our fellow-American de-
scent. In fact, we believe the Ne
groes of America are less of men
ace to the white blood than are the
hordes Of so-called white foreigners
who migrate to our shores from such
countries as Portugal, Southern Italy
Southeastern Europe and Eastern
Russia. Their is fatal tendency to
absorbe these stocks, to the consequ
ent lowering of American standards
of civilization and degeneracy of the
blood-stock."

New York City, May 25.-Here's a
little movie of life in the great city:
Massion Zaron is a Turk. He owns
a hat check privilege in a Broadway
restaurant Patrons prefer to take
their hats to tables. Zaron loses
copious tips. He broods. He goes to
a Hudson river pier and plunges in.
Henry Green, jobless hungry Color
ed fellow, is summing on the pier.
Hungry Henry plunges after Zaron.
Zaron struggles against rescue. The
hungry fellow, strong, arms the Turk
and starts dragging him to shore.
The Turk splutters:
"One hundred thousand piasters l
give you if you let me die"
'How you goin' to pay me if youse
daid?" queries Green. Zaron is in
the psychopathic hospital where the
clerks are guarding his $735.

AMITY CONVENTION

(By The Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTAON, May 25.- A con-
vention for Amity between the
colored and the white races took
place in Washington on May 10, 20
and 21.
The ideals of the committee of rep
resentative women who have arrang-
ed this convention are expressed in
the following statement which ap-
peared on the program:
Half century ago in America
slavery was abolished.
Nov there has arisen need for an
other great effort
Correction of the present wrong
requires no army, for the field of ac-
tion is the hearts of our citizens. The
instrument to be used is kindness;
the ammunition. understanding of all
by all. The actor in this engagement
for right is every inhabitant of these
United States.
"The great work we have to do and
for which this convention is called is
the establishment of amity between
the white and colored people of our
land.
when we have put our own house
in order, then we may be trusted to
carry the message of universal peace
to all mankind
Among the speakers will be men
prominent in official life;and also
DR.. Samuel McComb of Baltimore;
Mr.. Alfred Martin, president Ethical
Culture Society of New York; Mr.. C.
Lee Cook of Louisville; and the en-
inent scholar and philosopher, Jenabe
Fazel Mezandarani of Persia.
Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, member of
the board of education of Washington
will speak on "Colored Poets and
their Poetry" and where poetry has
been put to music it will be sung by
trained racial voices. Other colored
speakers will be Mrs. Gabrielle Pei
ham, who has charge of the music;
DR.. A. L. Locke, professor at How
ard University, and Mr. Louis G.
Gregory.
A charming musical program is be-
ing arranged for all the sessions
which will be of great educational
value. Mrs. Pelham will describe the
primitive music of the colored people,
their spirituals and their modern
compositions, and these will be sung.
AS this convention is different in it's
arrangement and scope from other
Inter-racial conventions, it will make
a strong appeal to the thinking peo-
pie of the United States.

Colonel James E. Shelley when he
was aked by an onlOoker of the trag

The shooting came as a sequel to
an alteration which had occurred be

soldier had attempted to mistreat the
colored man. The hosler approaching
the white man s,rlght to ascertain
from him the cause OF the first at

man angered the Colonel and he
struck him with the butt end of his
riding whip, thereupon the hostler
grappled with him and was appar.

argument when the soldier drew an
automatic revolver from his hip pock.

domen.
Bystanders, white and black, were
unanimous in declaring the shooting
rs most cowardly act. They also
asserted that the striking of the
hostler with the but end of the whip
was unprovoked and utterly unwar-
ranted. 1t was the query of one of
these bystanders that provoked the
What he hell do you think shot him
for?" from the irate Lieutenant Col
onel.
Christmas has slight chance of
recovery. He has given out a state
ment of the affair which tallies with
the versions of the people who say
both encounters in which he and the
soldier were the principals. The
colonels statement that was cutting
capers on a horse l was exercising

Colonel Shelley's friends have raj
lied to his support and do not expect
that he will be punished for his part
in the encounter.
