Can the South stand alone ir a the solution of this problem: This question has puzzled the 0 wisest heads and perplexed the n clearest brains of our nation. It a has been discussed in every leg- f islative body in this country. It 1 has been talked about and writ ten about until the subject is s thread-bare. There are no new a points to be brought up, but only N) a repetition of those discussed sc often before. The South cannot stand alone e, in this great work which Provi.b dence has put upon her. She a will need the support-of all sec tions and the sympathy of the b whole country to accomplish the M desire end. The South accepted h the trust put upon her and will a execute it faithfully. With noth- a ing to guide her but justice and ' honor, she will meet every con- I dition'as it arises. There is not a single instance recorded in his tory where two dissimilar races V have lived side by side in peace before. ^ The American Indian is 0 a fair example of this. Rather a than live by the side of an alien i race, he had rather spill the last Y drop of his blood than endure the encroachment of the for- n eigners. ti The South should be com mended rather than reprinanded s' for the manner in which she has P treated her former slaves. Since the bonds of slavery were unfettered in '65, the South has given the negro race every ad vantage, both industrial and edu cational, which the white race itself has enjoyed. The South has held thelconfidenca and won the gratitude of the inferior race H and at the same time maintained a social barrier which shall never be crossed and which d shall ever be held sacred even by President Roosevelt. In spite of her kindness to the r weaker race, the South has been r charged before the bar of pub lic opinion with brutally and in humanly' treating many of them. ' This accusation has arisen fromc the lynching of some negroes who have committed crimes so5 brutal that the pen can never describe nor the imagination picture: so savage that it places t the offender beyond the cate gory of human beings; so unjust that the criminal deserved no trial by jury. Nor .does the South stand alone in mob vi n.r lence, for lynchings have occurr ed in nearly every section ofth country. The law~iess acts of mobs in Ohio, Illinois. and New York will go down side by sided in the history of crime witha those of Texas, Georgia andt Carolina. The criminal alone is responsible for the treatment 5 administered to him, nor is any ~ punishment, however severe, undeserved. Southerners have always been distinguished for their devotion to their homes, and have never 1 considered life too dear or peace too sweet to lay at the altar of sacrifice for its protection. And when the deadly news is flashed. through a community that aq home has been spoiled--has been robbed of its virtue-thata father, husband or brother has been slain, and mother, wife or C - r sister left worse than slain' then. I say, I care not how quiet a community may be, nor how d prompt the officers of the lawt may be, nor what,- barrers may t be thrown around the prisoner, ~ nothing will be strong enough to keep the criminal from being ~ brought immediately to justice. History teaches us that edu cation is the strongest means by1 which crime can be checked. r Let us educate the negro. The South stands already head and shoulders above every other section in conferring this price less gift upon the negro. Shea now expends about forty millions1 of dollars annually in schoola funds, of which, sum the negro contributes but one-thirtieth, ~ although he reaps nearly one half the benefit. Is the South r not doing her duty? All trades are open to the negroes, and they are encouraged by equal ~ competition with the whites. We are glad to see that many of them are taking advantage ofs their opportunities and are be coming proficient in all trades of industry and in the professions. , The negro population of the United States is about twelve ~ per cent., and yet the criminal statistics show that they furnish about thirty per cent. of the s5 criminals and twenty per cent. e of the murders, including all races. As dark as the future may seem, the South still hopes that by educating and civilizing r influences she will get the vic tory over ignorance and crime; ~ U WANTED-SEVERAL PE RSONS OF CH AR- s acter and good reputation in each state (one in this county required) to represent and adver tise od estabisahed wealthy business house of t solid inancial standing.

HOT BORDER FIGHTING. w Texas Was Rid of Cattle Thieves and Desperadoes. The endurance and bravery splayed by Manuel Tom, a mchman of Atascosa county, following the trail of Grego o Cortez, the Mexican murder r, who was captured on the Rio rande border a few days ago, them subject of considerable amment among the people of ais section, says an Austin, 'exas, dispatch of July 4. Tom bruck Cortez's trail within a w hours after the murder of heriff Morris and he followed 2e trail through the brush of uthwest Texas more than 400 tiles. He was only 20 minutes ehind the fugitive when the tter was captured by state ngers on the Texas bank of ae Rio Grande just above La edo. Tom is 36 years old and e was born and raised in the istrict where he now resides nd is familiar with almost every >t of the country between ere and the Rio Grande. He nows the traits of the Mexicans a thoroughly that the efforts of ortez to obliterate his trail rere ineffectual. Many wonderful feats have een performed by Texas Ran. ers in trailing Indians and order desperadoes. One of the lost noted scouts and trailers in Le state is Captain L1. P. Seiker, rho now occupies the post of uartermaster of ,the Texas tangers. Captain Seiker spent tany years in active service as member and officer of a ranger ompany on the frontier. Du ing the 70s and early 80s he and is men had many encounters rith depredating bands of In ans and Mexicans. In order > aord protection to the set .ers and keep the count'ry clear f the outlaw element, it was ecessary for the rangers to be onstantly on the move. They roud no sooner return to their eadquarters camp from one )g chase than a report would each them of another raid and f they would go again on a sout that would probably keep hem in the saddle almost day nd night for many days. "One of the hardest rides that ever made was afther two Lip. n Indians who camne up from eir camp in Mexico and stole a unch of horses from a ranch tan near the head of the Llano ver," Captain Seiker said to 'he Sun correspondent in relat ig his experiences of the early ays. "As soon as I learned of 1s raid I started with a few tembers of my company in pun ait of the Indians. We soon bruck theii- trail. and in three ays we had traveled more than D miles, and recovered the tolen animals near the Rio rrande. We made no change of orses while on - the trail and it ;remarkable that the anim.als bood it. We only stopped long nough during the day to give u horses and ourselves one teal. We traveled until far in the night and were on the pad again before daybrake. "The Comanche and Lipan adians were adepts in covering p their trails, and we lost con iderably time on this particular hase in getting the direction ken by the Indians. Soon af r they left the spot where the .orses were stolen they divided ito two squads, and went in op. ?nce on the plains told me that this was simply a ruse to throw as off the track, and with my 1 men I pushed onward toward a I iigh hill where I felt certain the :livided parties would come to- H ether again. Sure enough I was right in my surmise, for the tracks plainly showed that the two squads of Indians with their t stolen horses had met on the iill, and resumed their trip 1 southward in a body. At-sever il other points on the journey imilar attempts to throw us off :he trail were made, but they were not successful. "The most difficult time to fol ow an Indian or Mexican trail is n extremely dry weather when oof prints of horses or shoe prints of man cannot be discern 3d on the rocky ground. The >nly guidance then is to watch for overturned stones and broken zrass. If the stones show a resh side I know that the trail is not more than a few hours old. If the sun has commenced to 'sun-burn' the stone I know that I the trail is from two to five days ld. It is also comparatively asy to determine the age of the trail at river crossings. The -ondition of the footprsnts in the mud or sand is a sure guidance. It frequently happened that the trail dissappeared when a stream of running water was reached. This was due to the fugitives going either up or down the stream. We usually knew the rendezvous of the Indians or outlaws we were pursuing, and 1 this ruse seldom succeeded in keeping us off the trail for any great length of time. "I have frequently trailed In :ians from Central Texas .to the Mexican border. In those stir ring days little was thought of uch trips. We almost lived in I the saddle and were prepared to leave on a long chase at a mo ment's notice. It was this eter al vigilance that finally sup pressed the Indian nepredations in west Texas and broke up the many bands of outlaws that infested the Rio Grande border in the '70s and early '80s. The Rangers gave no quarter; and many battles occurred - which ere never heard of by the gener il public. The Rio Grande was ao barrier when the Rangers were hot on a chase for Indians or outlaws. Many instances oc lurred where the pusuit was ,ontinued far into Mexico, and lesperate fights occurred on Mexican soil. It was only by going into their own tetritory in dexico that the rangers were ble to put a stop to the raids that these Indians were con tantly making on this side of the border. "Captain L. H. McNelly and [is company of rangers were1 the terror of the Mexican cattle nd horse thieves who infested the border. This brave band of ren periormed some wonderful eats of endurance and bravery. N~othing seemed too desperate for them to undertake. Hardly Sday passed that they did. not have a fight. I remember one :hase which Captain McNelly nd his man had after a band of dexican cattle thieves. The outlaws had stolen a herd of 250 head of cattle and driven them into Mexico. McNelly and his company struck the trail in No vember, 1875. After a chase of several days the thieves were1 overtaken at Las Cuevas, Mexi co. In the fight that took place five Mexicans were killed and I ofie was wounded. The cattleI were recovered. The rangers remained in the vicinity of Las Cuevas for several weeks scout ing for ipembers of the band ofi outlaws who had escaped. They aame across a slaughter house i or stolen cattle, about 40 miles ~orth of Las Cuevas. A Mexi- 1 ans ranchero was in charge of the place and he was killed. 'hree months later Captain Mc Nelly and his company struck a party of Mexicans crossing stol n cattle at a point below Rio Grande City. The rangers fired on the Mexicans, kil;.ing two and badly wounding another. The :attle were recovered. These re onlya few of manoy deeds of aring performed on the frontier by the rangers during those early days of lawlessness."--New York Sun. Biears the A The Kind You 8i AlasBought A Singular Bequest. A peculiar fate is said to overhang the family of the late Sir Julian Gold mid. An ancestor of his, so says the legend, once gave shelter to a rabbi, who, at his death, left to him a bequest of a mysterious box, which was on no account to be opened until after the customary seven dlays of mourning. If opened before that time, a curse would fall upon the family. Curiosity got the better of supersti- I tion, and the box was opened before the seven days were up. In it was found a document which said that as the injunction of the rabbi had not I been heeded no future owner of the es tate would be succeeded by a son.

HAIR OF THE SLOTH. t Is Green In Color and For a Pe culiar Reason. It is a very curious fact that certain >lants grow and thrive on the hair of loths. Apart from its extremely coarse Lnd brittle nature, the most striking )eculiarity of the outer hair of the loth is its more or less decidedly green I.nge. Now, green is a very rare color tmong mammals, and there ought, :herefore, to be some special reason for ts development in the sloth, and. as a natter of fact, the means by which his coloration is produced is one of he most marvelous phenomena in the hole animal kingdom, so marvelous. ndeed, that it is. at first almost impos ible to believe that it is true. The object of this peculiar type of oloration is, of course. to assimilate :he animal to Its leafy surroundings Lnd thus to render it as Inconspicuous Ls possib!e, and when hanging in its isual position from the underside of L bough its long, coarse and green inged hair Is stated to render the sloth LlmoSt indistinguishable frQm the )unches of gray green lichens among vhich it dwells. In the outer sheath )f the hairs of the al there are a num >er of transverse cracks, and in these :racks grows a primitive type of plant -namely, a one celled alga. And for the benefit of nonbotanical readers it may be well to mention here hat algw, among which seaweeds are ncluded, form a group of flowerless )lants related on the one hand to the 'ngl and on the otter to the lichens. :n the moist tropical forests forming :he home of the sloths the algae In the racks of their hairs grow readily and us communicate to the entire coat :hat general green tint which, as al eady said, Is reported to render them ilmost indistinguishable from the clus :ers of lichen among which they hang ;uspended.-Knowledge. THE FATE OF CORONETS. Gord Brougham's Became G. W. Chids' Fruit Dish. Peers and their coronets are soon >arted when the ceremonial use has Ieen served. The fate of one coronet s told by a correspondent of M. A. P. e writes: "When I was staying some Fears ago in Philadelphia with G W. Jhilds, the well known proprietor of rhe Ledger newspaper there, I noticed it dinner one evening a peculiarly shap .d gilt stand used as a support for a !hina dish containing grapes. My host, bserving that I was scanning it rather 1osely, said: 'Oh, that Is the coronet Lord Brougham wore at the queen's oronation. I have taken out the vel ret cap and turned it upside down. rhe golden balls form excellent feet, nd it makes a most elegant dish ;tand.' Which it certainly did." .But what is the fate of coronets com ared with the fate of coronation obes? A large portion of George IV.'s vardrobe, Including the coronation obes, was put at public auction In the ummer of 1831. There were 120 lots lisposed of, and some of the items are nteresting. A pair of fine kid trousers, >f ample dimensions and lined with white satin, was sold for 12 shillings. [he sumptuous crimson velvet corona :lon mantle, with silver star, embroid ared with gold, which cost originally, icording to the auctioneer, ?500, was mocked down for 47 guineas; a richly embroidered sllver tissue coronation waistcoat and trunk bose, ?13. The mrple velvet coronation robe, embroid ired with gold, of which it was said to ontain 200 ounces, brought only ?55, lthough it cost his late majesty ?300. &n elegant and costly green velveh antle, lined with ermine of the finest uality, presented by the Emperor alexander to George IV., which cost L,000 guineas, wais sold for ?125.

Three women had come into the treet car at different intervals with abies of different intervals. The first )aby was a lusty child with nerve test ng lungs. .The second wvas about a rear old, and the mother, just a little ylt embarrassed at the bachelors' ~lares, finally gained courage to take a >ottle from a grip and plug up baby's nouth with a rubber neck. The third )aby was the newest of them all and mtered the car a mere white bundle In :he arms of a dignified matron hardly it of short skirts. Beginning to unwrap the bundle, which had been somewhat disarranged the haste to embark, the proud nother first unfolded a cunning pair of lue worsted booties that might fit a ,rumpy old bachelor's thumb. Then, eeling the eyes of the world upon her, the showed baby's two fat' legs, which ere as pink as her own ears. Then :he cunning sight was solemnly shut 'rom all eyes by a procession of gowns till of white, laced, tucked, embroidered td plain, the fat legs kicking vigor-; )usly, and baby's laces hid them from Then the little mother sat the bundle pright and threw a soft cloak from he other end, disclosing a round face, i. paIr of blue eyes wide open In amaze neat and as pretty and baldheaded a yaby from end to end as ever made a )achelor angry at his own lost oppor :unities.
