BILL ARP' / - Writes A/bcmt the H< Meridian, J Akanta Cc The other night I dropped down from Chattanooga to Meridian. It is over 360 miles, but it seemed like a dropping down, for the fast train on the Alabama Great Southern carried me there in less than eight hours while I slept. Beautiful cars and a smooth road made the trip a pleasure, even to a veteran. I had some flatteriog calls to the cotton belt of Alabama and Mississsippi, and as the larder was low and the family purse looked like an elephant had trod on it, and the taxes were to pay and coal to buy, and my female folks were in need of win ter garmentSj'my wife said I had bet ter go. That settled it, and here I am in Meridian. Many years have pass ed since I visited this growing city, and I hardly recognized it. It has since grown from SOO to 18,000 people and now puts on metropolitan airs, for it is the largest town in Mississippi. It used to be A dirty place, and was a dug-out for saloons and disreputable quarters. Six years ago there was a great awakening, and the saloons were abolished, and many of those who supported them left for parts un known. Grass dident grow in the streets as was predicted, but the town took on new life. Mr. Dial was elect ed mayor on temperance principle and a system of public works was at once in augurated. Since then fifty miles of sewerage has been laid and thirty miles of sidewalk paved and twelve blocks of streets paved with vitrified brick and as many more with chert. Two cotton mills and an oil mill and a fer tilizer factory and a splendid system of waterworks have been established. Six large buildings for the public schools have been erected. Two fe male colleges have been planted there. The new city has gasworks and street cars, and new residences with hand some architecture are in sight on all the high lands that environ the city. I never knew before that there were lillis within miles of Meridian, but there are not only hills, but a mile or two south there are mountain ridges like those io upper Georgia, and from these come the gushing springs that supply the city with the purest water. There is no better kept hotel than the Southern-good .fare, good beds, good service of every kind-and what was best of all to me the people gave me a good audience, all select, especially the ?ighty college girls who came ar rayed in college uniform. I saw more cotton yesterday than I ever saw be fore at one time and place. Meridian compresses and markets 140,000 bales, and half of it is there now in the warehouses and outside. Much of it has been sold, but cannot be moved for lack of cars. Cotton is still the king. While at breakfast this morning two iiorthern men took seats at the same table, and one remarked: "This town is on a boom. They are build ing all over it." "Yes," said the other, "the whole South is on the up grade, and if it keeps on Bryan won't carry a single Southern State." Well, they were for McKinley, of course, but they will know by waiting. A Northern man who has never been South finds much to interest and as tonish him. Not long ago Mayor Dial took one over the city and asked him what he would like to see specially. He replied that he would like very much to see where thc negroes lived and how they lived. So the mayor drove up to negro town, where he saw numerous women and children, and heard them laughing and talking mer rily. "What are they laughing at?" he inquired. "I dident know they ever laughed." ;{Why," said Mr. Dial, "they laugh all the day long; they laugh at anything." "Is it pos sible?" exclaimed the Yankee. "Sup pose we stop and ask them what they are laughing about? My curiosity is greatly excited." So the mayor stop ped, and calling one of the women whom he knew to the gate, said: "Hannah, this gentleman is from Che North-up in God's country-and says that he dident know that the ne groes down here ever laughed, and he wants to know what you were all laughing about when we drove up." This, of course, provoked another spell and all they got out of them was that "Jinny axed Mandy which was de most alike, a 'possum or a coon?" The stranger was profoundly impressed, and made a note in his memorandum book. Mr. Dial says the new law about voting works well in Mississippi, and has ceased to excite any comment or dissent. The negro population of Meridian is about equal to the white, but there are only about fifty colored Voters-most of these are teachers, preachers and barbers. About eighty registered the first year after the law was passed, but the number has de creased from year to year, and the ne gro has long since ceased to take any interest in polities. Quite a number of white men have retired from regis S LETTER. Bmarkable Growth VXississippi. institution. tracion because they can't swear they have paid their taxes for the years. Mr. Dial fays that the regi trar's office was in his office, and officer was uniformly considerate to ward the negroes who applied, of those who couldent write made ri good answers when called on to ex plain a clause in the Constitutionen if he was a good negro he was que tioned very lightly and was admitted But some who could read missed it mile and wire rejected. The law, h said, was harder on a poor, trifling white man than it was on a thrifty industrious negro. But nobody make any fuss about it or proposes to chang it. "Well, I have been impatiently wait ing on the stars, but do not believ that this is the year for the meteors ray books do not say so. Humboldt ' pretty high authority, and so is Ap pleton's cyclopedia, and both say th periodic interval is thirty-four years instead of thirty-three.

But we will know by waiting another day whether Mr. Ashmore i right or Humboldt.

"Thar's one er them agents what sells clocks on credit wants to see you right off," said the new farm hand. "Hang the agent!" exclaimed thc farmer. "I don't want to see him or his clocks." The new farm hand disappeared and did not return for an hour. When he put in an appearance bc asked: "WKar'bouts ?roun' here does the coroner live?" "What in thunder does you want with the coroner?" "Well,'?' said tho new farm hand, taking a seat on the stump and wiping the perspiration from his brow with his shirtsleeve, "I hanged him!" Atlanta Constitution. Why be did Kot Rise. A street preacher was having a sort of test meeting by asking the congre gation questions on their conduct. "Now brethren," he said, "all of you who pay your debts will please stand up." In response to this there wa:; an ap parently unanimous uprising. "Now," said the preacher, asking the others to sit down, "all those who do not pay will please stand up." One man alone arose. "Ah, brother," said the preacher, "why is it that you, of all this congre gation, should be so different?" "I don't know, parson," he replied, slowly, as he looked around over his friends and acquaintances in the meet ing, "unless it is that I'm not a liar, and 'cause I can't get what thc peo ple round me owe.me."-Lacon Jour nal.

On almost every hilltop in Georgia may be seen the poor white boy-who has no friends abroad, aud shall we so describe it?-can only look for eue mies at home! The poor white boy? What an in spiration of genius swells within him, repressed by ignorance and restrained by environment. The son of a m?.n who owned slaves, he tills the field in sodden despair, while the son of the man who blacked his boots is pursu ing the royal chase of learning within college walls fortified by millions in endowment. A teacher is needed iu the neighborhood-he is imported from a more favored land. A cotton mill is erected-his little sisters and brothers may do the menial work fora trifle iu pay, but thc superintendent, the engineer, the experts in coloring and in pattern making, must come from Massachusetts or from England. An iron foundry is established-thc men who command from $5 to $10 a day are brought from Rhode Island or from Pennsylvania, while the little boy who carries water to the hands may be thc only born Georgian on thc pay-roll. Thc nearby town puts in an electric plant-with the order for it went a requisition for men who un derstand how to run the machine. A linotype is ordered by the local news paper-New York is ordered upon to ship an operator as well. Is it any wonder, then, that seeing his chance of preferment swept away, the poor white boy turns sullenly to his hoe, and for the first time understands what Markham meant when he de scribed the man " * * * dead to rapture and despair, A thing that grieves not, and never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox!'' God pity the poor white boy who is thus doomed to serfdom while thc son of his master's slave has his face set toward the rising sun, and to whom the great secrets of art and nature arc being opened. Hampton institute, with an endowment of $742,000 and real estate as much more, appeals to Northern and even Southern philan thropy for as much more. From the walls of this institution Tuskegee has grown, and now between the two the negro is learning th&use of the hand as well as brain. The soil and its component parts; the smelting and thc amalgamation of the metals; the varied secrets of chemistry; the con trol of steam and of electricity-all arc brought near to him. The scholar, no matter how black he may be, will be the master workman; the ignorant man, no matter how clear the-white ness of his skin, will only be the help er-glad to get that. This is the picture which, as it reverses itself to the eye of the white boy, makes him strike his hoe into the earth with ve nomous wrath and dogged resignation. Men abroad contribute to negro educa tion, because the negro is poor; men at home deny liberal State aid to higher education; it would costa little money. Hear the story from Hampton In stitute-$1,342,000 on hand-$1,000, 000 more coming in-Clarke Univer sity in Atlanta, over $1,000,000 in its varied departments; Atlanta Univer sity $1,000,000 with technological courses. As in Atlanta, so it is else where. The poor white boy looks in quiringly around. The State techno logical school has just closed its doors against young white men-no room and the room which is here was made possible by a generous stranger. Shame that Georgia should keep her sons in ignorance; that thc escape from it should be through thc munifi cence of a stranger-but thanks to the man who was broadminded enough to suggest to us the linc of duty. All over Georgi:), while such young men as described exist, there are those who fight higher education, and who cannot understand that leaders must bc moulded simultaneously with the file which fills thc public schools. These men seem to be willing that ex perts should bc imported, while our own young men are to be relegated to the furrow. To-day Germany stands as the cen tral manufacturing and art creating nation of Europe. One hundred years ago there was not a more godforsaken spot of ground thau that tfhicn com poses the present territory of thc tJ German empire. Cursed with feuda- t lism and militarism, with a surplus population and a soil largely refrac tory-to all of this thus was added thc complete desolation of thc Napo leonic wars. When the peace of 1815 removed danger from war, that spring ing from economic conditions threat ened to be worse. By a rare econo mic intuition a complex system of education was resolved upon-thc lib- * eral education of the universities; the * chemical school located in the village apothecary; the schools of design in iron foundries; thc discussion of soils and seeds by meetings of farmers. Itinerant teachers told thc agricultur al people how best to utilize all the , elements that enter into successful agricultural life. In manufactures the mill-owners, machinery builders and others helped the government to 1 establish and carry on a system of ed ucation that has made Germany inde pendent of the world in the matter of technically trained captains, lt may astonish thc Georgia legislature to learn that in little Saxony there are between 200 and 300 technical schools. Plumbers and tinsmiths, and their apprentices are trained theoretically and practically not only in the uses of the metals, but thc application to thc various needs and uses of life. There I arc weaving schools, knitting schools, schools for lace-making, crochetting, and in fact, no industry is so insigni ficant as to be neglected. In thc tex- ; tiles special attention is given to i everything which enters into thc cov- j erins, of mau. What has been thc result? Thc : Germany, poverty-stricken, ignorant ' and land-cursed of 1S15, has become thc Germany of to-day, with not an acre ot' soil but has been redeemed to profit, with captains of industry, who lead thc world, instead of follow after it, with a population skilled as never were people before. The Germany of Leipsic could hardly bc recognized in the Germany, whose squadrons of horse swept over the field of Sedan. All this was due to pursuing higher and technical education. Georgia stands to-day upon the Ger man platform of 1S15. She has the people, she has the poverty, she has the necessity, but she has in her soil her only advantage. Georgia boys, peers of the German, staud upon o.r hilltops looking into the darkness of the future. But one gleam of light appears-the present State institution, but how faintly it shines. The room is limited, the apparatus antiquated, carping critics decryingeducation, the doors are closed, the negro may learn because he is poor, while for the same reason the white boy must not be giv en a chance. Gentlemen of thc legislature: Look at the open doors of Clark University, inviting the negro to enter. On an other hilltop look at the closed and the barred door of the State technolo gical school-no more room. Look at the State University, kept iu contin ued straits. So far as the claims upon these institutions are local as j to buildings, or personal as to manage ments, criticize and agitate a? you may, but so far as the boy in the field is concerned, do not sacrifice him in your differences. He is your bright cst and best p ?sscssion and in his velopuient inure will be done for thc State than in the building of rail roads. Will the legislature regird the ap peals of our poor white boy, or must the prize- of our future go to - the more fortunate poor white .boys of Maine, or perchance to thc sons of the mfcrior who have worked, while their masters slept? - Ic will require 50,000 enumera tors to take the census of the United States in June next, for it must bc completed by thc first week in July.

Beware of the Doctors' Patchwork; You Gan Cure Yourself at Home. "I had spent n There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in beating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better oif to-day if they had never allowed them selves to be dosed on*mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever givetfor blood poison. The doctors are* wholly unable to get arid-of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease-the sores and eruptions. Thia they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N". J., says: hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good.
