Be Of Good Courage
By Clara Augusta Trask.
HERE is nothing more important and necessary to success in
life than good courage. The cheerful, persevering, ener
getic, undiscouraged man is the one who wins every time.
The man who says "I can't" never gets anywhere.
Let not valuable time be wasted in envying the man
of millIons. Everybody cannot be a capitalist. There must
be laborers. and the laborers want to realize and accept the
fact that if there were no. great fortunes. the whole vast sys
tem of political economics would speedily go to ruin.
And oft the other hand, capitalists want to bear in mind that without labor
wealth could not be developed, and progress would stop at its very inception.
Envy is at the root of untold evils. And envy-the lowest and meanest of all e
human passions-has no business in the breast of an honest man. It should
be a matter for rejoicing that prosperity is abroad in the land. No man's path
to progress should lie across the shipwreck of any fellow-man's hopes and as-.
pirations
Courage makes a man the peer of kings. It lifts him above worldly disas- S
ters. It keeps him true to his purpose, loyal to his convictions, and earnest
and untiring in his labors. It says to Doubt, there is no such word as fail.
Disappointment that discourages is impossible, for courage shall in the end
prevail over everything adverse, and victory shall crown patient and persistent
endeavor.
Do not sit down in idlenoss because the right opportunity does not lie ready
to your hand. Work at what offers, and work faithfully, and in the meantime
be on the lookout for the opportunity you long for. Do not allow any would-be
philosopher of a pessimistic turn to dishearten you by the kind of cheap talk t
which would have you believe that all the best positions in the world are
filled, and that there is no longer any chance for the earnest and willing wo-rk
er. Look for you- :hance, and when you have found it put your trade-mark
upon it, and stick to it.
Persistent effort wins. Faith can remove mountains. Seas have been
converted iito dry land, continents have been reclaimed from the wilderness,
deserts have been transformed into blossoming Edens, the ocean has been
made the medium by which the far East speaks to the far West, and the peo
pie 'of the setti-ng sirn have been brought within a few days' distance of each
other by -courage and effort.
No good thing is brought forth from the storehouse of Nature without labor.
Work is God's own law and method. Be glad that it can be yours. also. Make
the most of the powers you uave, and don't waste time in vain and weak re
pinings.
And -o -matter what betides, cultivate a cheerful, happy spirit, and in so
doing you not only -make your own chances of success tenfold greater, but you
are the means of putting new hope and vigor into many a despondent and dis
beartened traveler .along the pathway of life.
f$How Witnesses Err
By Prof. Cesare Lombroso.
PART from the frequenoy of the pathological lie (the lie told
by those who are inclined to falsehood without reason) it is
necessary to remember that many have been led into error
through inaccurate observation. It is a well-known fact that
a square divided horizontally appears greater in breadth
than in height, but when divided vertically it appears great
er in height than in breadth. Similarly, a man dressed in
black seems smaller and thinner than when clad in white.
We know, too, that when objects suddenly loom upon us on
a dark night w e see them magnified extraordinarily. The causes of psycholg
ical error are numerous. Fear and sorrow intercept sensations andfasy
them. An ordinarily courageous man, unnerved in a railway smash, declarat
that he had seen a hundred bodies wedged between the carriages. As a mat
ter of fact, there was only one. On the same occasion another man ray away,
imagining that he could hear the derailed engine behind him for three-qilar'
ters of an hour. A criminal named Gusio threw himself upon his warderan
hndei wenuty" i't was a fish.
h inarealt if a moving object is the sum total of a series of images of
pTal iae t. Some of these images are perceived only by one set of per
partal mvbye another set. Grassi records in his "Criminal Psychology"
sons; ti" at an execution where the hangman wore gloves, he asked four
how, ,prst aof what color the gloves were. One said they were white, an
thr dpesend they were black, a third was sure they were gray, while the
r deored tha the hangman wore no gloves at all. In a game of dominoes

21w " Hotel Child"
langers That Beset the Unfortunate
Offspring of Restless Parents : ::
Nylizs.Mairthia S. Bensley, a ANursery Governess.
~~ T is riot the material aids to existence which are the bane
of the hotel child; it is the mental and spiritual attitude
accompa~nying this life which is to be depreciated. It destroys
a democratic spirit through emphasizing the difference
between the servant and the served; it exaggerates the pow
er of money, fosters a spirit of dependence, and unfits the
pampered individual for any other kind of life; and, worse
of all, in a child so brought up there can be no understand
standing or lov of home. There may be some future for the child who knows
nothing of art--some function for the one to whom literature makes no appeal
and who is no: sensitive to music, but there is no place in the state for the
mnan who has neither initiative, self-reliance, patriotism, nor love of home.
He is a social menace, a disease. The community is better off without this
satelite of the manager, parasite of the bellboy, and source of supply for the
waiter.
If there is one child in our community who is superfluous, it is the
hotel child. As places for temporary occupation by homeless and childless
adults, hotels are to be tolerated: but as residences for children, they are
without the posuiility of excuse.-Everybody's.

is the part of wisdo'n for all who wish

he nezro to become in the bighest
de-ree useful to it imIself. and there

Therefore in view of the scarcity not

iarr. it becones doubly iiportant to
trini every available man to be of the

-eTeived from the while people rolunt N
bout; for during the 25 years -f ei- -
ort to educate the biaek mn here ii c
he midst of a white conintiiity of in- E
eliigence and culture, there has never te
>een in outbreak between the races or j
iny diiliculty of any kind. All honor R
.s due to the white men of Alabama, T
.o the white men of Tuskeegee for n
what they have done. And right here, hi
.et me say that if in any cominumty w
i nisunderstandinz between the races
arises, over any matter, infinite)y the ir
best way )ut is to have a prompt ir
frank and full conference and con- a
sultation between :epresentatives of s<
the wise, decent. cool-headed men d
among the whites and the wise. decent, p
(ool-headed colored men. Such a con- o
ference will always tend to bring a
about a better understanding, and will I
be a great help all around.
Hitherto 1 have spo.ken chiefly of d
the obligation existing on the part of d
the white man. Now let you remem
her on the other hand that no help a
ecan permanpntly avail you save as you o
yourselves develop capacity for self t
help. You younqg colored men and
women educated at Tuskeegee must ]
by precept and example lead your fel
lows toward sober, industrious, law
abbling lives. . t
You ire in honor bound to jun
hands in favor of law and order and
to war against all crime. especially
against all crime of men of your own C
race; for the heaviest wrong done by t
the criminal is the wrong to his own I
raec. You must teach the people of
your race that they must ?:crupuloiusly
t1. .serve any cortract into which they
.i .4,,ad faith enter, no matter wheth
er it is hard to keep or not. If vou
save money, secnre homes, become tax
pavers and lead clean decent modest
lives, Von will wi nthe respect of your
ne!ighbors of bo:h races. Let each man
strive to excel his fellows only by
rendering substantial service to the
community in which he lives. The-col
ored people have many difficulties to
pass through, bat these difficulties will
be surmounted if only the policy of
reason and coomon sense is pursued.
You ha, e made real and great pro
ress. According to the census the
olored people of ihis country own
and pay taxes upon something like
three hundred million dollars worth
of property, and have blotted out over
fifty per cent of their illiteracy. When
vou have d3ne in the past is an indica
tion of what you will be able to do
in the future under wise leadership.
Moral and irdustrial education is
what is most needed, in order that
this progress many continue. The
race cannot expect to get everything
at once. It must learn to wait and
bide its time; to prove itself worthy
by showing its possession of perse
verance, of thrift. of self control. The
destiny'of tie race is chiefly in its
own hands, ind must be workcd out
patienitly and persistently along these
lines. Rteme:nber also that the white
man who ca b-e of most use to the
colored mar- is that colored mans
R is the Southern people
the difficulties that exist in the South;
of course what man in the South lies
in his steady hope of advancement
for the colored commnonsense effort
to improve his moral and material
condition and to work in harmony'
with the white man in upbuilding the
commonwealth. The fature of the
South now depends upon the people
of both races living up to the spirit
and letter of the laws of their sev
eral States ard working out the des
tinies of both races, not as races. but
as law abiding, American citizens.

TEXTILE 'NE8 OF INTEREST
Notes of Southern Cotton Mills and
Other Manufacturing Enterprises.
Danville, Va.-The directors of the
Dan River Power and Manufacturing
Company have decided to double their
plant of 43.000 spindles and 1614
looms, the Dan River Cotton Mills
It may now be stated that the con
struction work will begin at once and
be pushed as rapidly as possible to
completion. This enlargement is
merely- the completion of the plant
in accordance with the original plans.
The first outlay was for mill No. 1.
weave shed, cloth hall, dye-house,
cotton houses, etc., with the equip
ment of textile machinery above men
tioned. The No.2 mill will now be built
and the second half of the weave shed
will be completed. With the new in
stallation tthe company will have a
total of 86.000 spindles and over
3,000 looms, of which about 1,000 will
be narrow looms. Messrs. Lockwood,
Greene & Co., of Dauville, are archi
tects and engineers in eharge of this
construction work for the Dan River
Cotton Mills.
Houston, Tex.-If the United
States can be induced to remit the
internal revenue on alcohol for use
in the manufacture of gbods in the
United tStae.ans lwd. wih.tofio ?amb
United States. an artificial silk fac
tory will probably be established at
El Paso, otherwise the factory will
probably be located ii: Mexico, where
great inducements are being offered.
That it will probably be necessary
to send a delegation into Washington
to urge the passage of a bill abol
ishing the tax on industrial alcohol
was the belief of the diretors of the
Chamber of Commerce at a' meating
held to consider correspondence car
ried on with French representatives
of the artificial silk company. The
letters from France indicated that
wood alcohol could not be used as a
substitute for the grain alcohol which
has been used in the European fac-.
tories of the company.
Columbus, Ga.-The Swift Manu
facturing Co will build a 5,000-spin
dle addition to its present plant of
13,000 spindles and 423 looms. The
company has now closed contracts
for the improvements. It has award
ed contract to the J. F. Gallivan
Building Construction Company, of
Greenville, S. C., for the erection of
the new building, which will be a
four-st6ry, Ox100-foot annex to its
present structure. In this building
will be placed 5,000 spindles, with the
accompanying machinery, and 100
looms for the production of plaids,
cotonades, ticking, stripes and im
proved Mitcheline beadspreads. The
cost of the betterments will be about
$75,000.
Fitzgerald, Ga.-Rapid progress is
ow being made at the Fitzgzerald
Cotton Mills in installing the new ma
hinery recently decided on. By No
vember 1 the company will have 10;,
000 spindles in operation, producing
about 40,000 pounds of yarns week
spindles by the company, and in con
nection with the improvements its
capital stock has been increased from
$125,000 to $200,000. Coarse yarns
in warps and skeins will be the pro
duet.
Athens, Ga.-Increasing demands
for the produet of the Athens Cotton
Mill Company's plant makes it nee
essary for that company to arrange
for a larger output. The manage
ment has determined to effect this by
doubling the present Equipment of
machinery. which consists of 3,500
ring spindles. C. E. Frost, treasurer
of the company, is now in the Eastern
States arranging the contracts for
the new machinery. This company
