The lc ter is an interesting narrative of atrip, wh'oti wa? O? peolally even?f ul to thc young man, wi o was the guest of Capt. Thomas Hlgvbje on the passage to Now Yurt, wh re be ha" sl>c* enter ed the Paterson Nnutioai College, Laviug ?f.lc;mlui.d to ft lio? the Ba as his prcfusslon. ""ho many friend? of tho youi g mau will be interested lu the story, praotiotll? told In his own wm tb : "We left Charleston on September 0. in tow of tho tug Protector, and whon we got outside the bar, near the Charleston lightship, tho wind bad oled out. The next morning, wo KO' tho Bhip under way in a light wind from tho southwest, and with this fair wind we spread on full sall to ?et (.ut into the gulf stream, where we WLUld have the ht m tit of the curren* north, runuhig at the rate of two and a half to three and a half knots an hour. We b'.pt knooklng about for th n< zt few days with unfavorable wli ds O i Sunday, the IO h. the wind start fcd to increase in v ljolty fio o the northeast. We v;cro In company wlih several vra?eln, all bound northward, these b dug the boats, we believe, which were subsequently roportcd as lost. Capt. lllgi-bea deemed lt advis able to scok iheltor, behind the lanO the wind at that time blowing off Mie land, and we ano'iored about, fort} li ?. miles to the south of Capo Lookout. Wo put out both anchors. Thc sea was then iuunlrg heavy and onndliicn1. were mowing worne all of Sui day At 2:30 o'clock on Marlay morning the vts.iel gave a bard leap into tba sea, and cut oame her forotopmaBt and Jlbboom at one snap. The stays hold ir,g thcbe two spars bad to bo hurried Iv cut, es vhr.ro were fears of their knooklng a hole Into her bow. "The sea was now lashed to its greatest fury. The wind had ir.crea'.ed to about seventy-?ve mlle? about 6 o'olock, and just when matters looked as bad an they oou'd bo, wo parted the starboard anchor, and then had to put out a kedge and Boon afterward the kedge also parted, and we were depend ent now solely upon the port auohor. Our lives were at stake. The parting of the lone anchor meant our doom and as tho wind blew and the sra roll od in mountaius. spla^hinwr. and hro*k lng over us with terrill f roe we jus! seemed to be awaiting the moment of death. AU of us gave up hope, evoi; to Capt. HlKKbee. We felt that we were to die, a?id ?.t was only a question of just when death would como. The auohor held, however, and, after a time, lt was apparent that the wind was abHt'ng and we bogati to take on hopes of safety. Monday afternoon tho wh.d had dlcdout and we all felt bet ter. "We lay In our position until Tues day morning ah mt 9.30 o'olock, whet wo welched anchor and started for Oaoe Lookout Cove, arriving there on ed?-?sday afternoon at 6 o'clock, herc wo ^cmahred until Saturday, 3:30 o'cleok, when wo were taken li! tow by tho tug I.

We finally reached our anchorage off Sandy Hook, concluding an eventful trip fut all of us." The thrilling experience of Mr. 1) al, the drat cf toe kind that ho has had, bas not dampened his interest in the sea or canned him to think less of making lt his vocation In life. On the contrary, he naya in his letter: "1 would rather go to sea a thousand tlmcB than stay on shore. " Tho young man ls ambitious to at tain succesH in lils chosen vocation and ho is now hard at work, taking the course at the nautical oollego and looking forward to his own ship and put in the position of incurring thc responsibility fer the safety of his ves sel and those who may be committed to his oarc.

It ls not easy, I suppose, for educat ed people to form any idea of tho vagueness of tho rustic mind with re gard to the world outaldo its own Im mediate surroundings. Board schools are making a change, and tho men In village reading rooms look at Illus trated uownpapors, but for the romalo portion of the rural population tho rust of tho douizens of space and time outBldo tho chelo of tho local newe papors are Included In tho all-em bracing "thoy." "Ain't lt awful when they cut theil heads off?" will he tho comment on an engraving of tho exocu(|ou cf Charles I. at Whitehall, or a "D'iib Minor" Illustration of Homo con'.om porary horror in Armon?a or the Congo State. 1 roniomhor being asked in a North Country village-some naval maneu vers were being carried on at the timo In tho North Soa-"The war ls getting very near now, Isn't lt?" "The war" was conceived as a great natural force always raging over tho lace ot the earth, now in this direction, now in that. There has boen moro news paper reading since the South African war, though many of us will sympa thize with tho good lady who told mo, "I can't fool tho same Interest In thin Japnneso war HS 1 did in tho South African ono, tho names mo so much harder." Hut tho outsido world ls very little roalizod. Tho wife of a village builder told mo ono day that sho had a sun in Homo. Seeing, I suppose, that 1 gave a start o? involuntary Interest, she added, In an explanatory tono, "Oh, I mean Homo In America-not Homo In Parla." 1 havo often found that works of fiction aro regarded as literal trans cripts of fact, though lt is sometimes Suspected that tho story may havo been a little embellished In the toil ing. "I daresay, If tho truth were known," I was one? told, "a little blt of romaneo goes down as woll as tho strict facts." Print is a vory sacred thing to the rustic mind. I havo sometimos reeeivod the pathetic as surance-perhaps of sumo miracle of heallug wrong!1 by patent medicine "Well, lt's I' ut." In tho gray .monotony of the lives of tho poor, it is thc most genial and expansive, I think tho kindliest na irn eas who aro tho predestined vic tims of drink. Drink ls so often tho ad von turo of tho artistic temperament seeking a brighter and kinder world. "Drunkard" ls, perhaps, too harsh a term for another old woman, this timo In a south country parish, who was certainly too fond of her cups. In spite of everything her husband had retained lils first affection for lier, and, apart from the who's fondness for drink, they wore as decont an old couple as ono can woll Imagino. I.ato at night he would go out and patiently look for her, and, Uko a good shepherd, bring her home. Ono summer ovening I met tho pair coming along steadily and quietly in the twilight. I stopped to speak to the worthy old people, and to Inquire alter their daughter, who was Ul. Dut, alas! no sooner did they stop than the old lady fell to the ground, from willoh all her husband's efforts to raise her were in vain. "I was so overcome hy the clergyman speaking to mo that sudden," site explained from her recumbent position. On another occasion-I hopo no reader of those anecdotes will suspect mo of making light of drunkenness she fell on a spittoon in a public house and spilt her skull. Tho ver sion of tho incident she gave me *vaa as follows: "I wont to the circus. ! and when I saw the elephants come prancing In I was that alarmed that I fell and knocked my hoad against ono of thom circus poles." In tho M iridio Ages tho conscious sharing in a world wido tradition bound the local to the universal life, and through art and ritual the minds of the poor wore familiarized with tho facts of the Christian faith, By our own poor I fear those facts are very dimly realized. 1 have bron chown a picture of the Nativity with tho fluto playing angels and the shephards bringing their lamb, and havo been told that lt was "Mus?.- when ho was a baby." Moses at all times occupies an enormous placo in thoir spiritual world. Ono is somotlmos startled by tho evidence of a very naive faith. Only tho other day a mothor told tn? alie had boen feeding ber baby on ?oms preparation called "Manna." "lt ouKht to do him good," she added patheti cally. "You soo lt's what the angola llvos on."

Bishop Alexander Waitera, o? tho Niil Ional Afro American Council, has issued a proclamation aakmg tho A fib can race In America to observe Octo ber 7 as a day of fasting and prayer for tho bettering ot tho condition of i tho negroes In America. Wo have' read this proclamation,and wc think { it rather a peculiar document, which is calculated to stir up strife between thc negro and thc white man in the South, instead of benefiting the negro. lt calls attention to the many wrongs of tho negro, but says nothing what ever about his numeiou8 faults and shortcomings. Wc give a few extracts from this proclamation so as our read ers can Judge for themselves of Its character. Tho proclamation opers by saying it ls a call from God, and is sent forth hy divine authority. It then goes on to say that "In theso days when so many men of power and lulluencc, aid ed by a prejudicial press, aro using their oillco of trust and honor to de grade and destroy ten million Amer ican citizens, and the greater major ity of sixty million look on In silenco, it ls time for the ten million thus op pressed to riso in their own do tense." Tins is an indictment against every white mau in the South, and suggests that it ls time for the^negr- es to rhe ai d wipe them out. That is thc plain meaning of. the paragraph <1 noted above. The proclamation furthr-r ssys "when the Jsrealitcs were oppressed Mordecai called them to their knees and he, with them, in dust and ashes, cried unto thc God of tho oppressed who heard them." The plain infer ence of this paragraph ls that thc negroes are oppressed anti that they must ask God to deliver them. By whom are the negroes oppressed? If any of them aro oppicoscd in this section except by their laziness and vices we are not aware of it The same may he said of other sections of the South. The elTect of the charge that thc negroes are oppressed is cal culated to cause trouble and no doubt has much to do with the attack of black fiends on white women. Among thc things that the negroes are told in the proclamation to pray for are to "beseech tho Almighty to cause Justice to be done to all the peo ple in all the States by all the olli cials," and"that the statute books up on wliich are written infamous dis criminating laws and court records containing entries of unfair decisions of judges and juries bo bumed, and the nefarious convict lease system will cease Its operation; that justice will not unbhndfold herself when a colored priioner comes to the bar and that thc Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the National Consti tution will no longer be the National lie in that great document." This is a who'esale indlcment of all olTlclals in the States of the South, which will have a tendency *o make negroes re gard these olllcials as oppressors in stead of otllcers of tho law entitled to the respect of every citizen. What we have quoted is a fair sam ple of what this so-called proclama tion contains. From beginning to end lt speaks of tho so-called wrongs and oppression of the negro race and they are told;to fast and pray and ask God to deliver their race out of the power of the white race, who are held up as tho oppressors, lt does not tell the negro of his sins and warn him to seek forgiveness, but it makes him out a martyr suffering because lie is i. negro. It docs not say one word of warning to the black ilends over thc beautiful Southland who aro walting a, enanco to ventithelr hellish designs upon white woiren. Oh, no. These, too, are classed among the oppressed. We speak very frankly when we say that such papers as this incendiary proclamation is not calculated to help thc negro In the South, lt ls rather the cause of such outbreaks as that which occurred In Atlanta recently. It would bc a good idea for the negro race on the day appointed for them to I fast and pray to ask God to deliver them from their fool friends who pro mulgates such wholesale slanders against the white people of the South as is contained in this so-called pro clamation. The "court en bane," composed of nil the circuit and the supreme court judges, which met in Columbia on fc'rkiay, refused a new tT lal to lt. A.

S<**f> Ownok-HFi'i), The State of Georgia owns tho Western und Atlantic liai!road which 11:;;:; f:om Atlanta to Chattanooga ?. distance of ono hundred and thirty eight miles. This road hus no indebted ness on lt, hut it ls a clear, uninoum bored asset o? tho State Let us com pare the management and earnings of this railroad tu dor State ? ntrol with some other railroads that are under private control According to ibis com parison the Western and Atlantic Rallroadls tho best paying property in thc South. For thc year ending .lui c 30, 1005, its gross earnings per mile were $10,? 142.09. Its not earnings per mlle wero $?,294 31. Compared with other rail roads, it cnn readily be seen what an enormous advantage in cai nmg power th's property has. IN ext to tho Western and Atlantic the Atlanta and West l'oint has the largest earning capacity. For tho ypar ending June 30, 11)05, the gross earnings ol that road wero $10,594.00, and the net earnings were $4 178,23 per mile, lis gross earnings wero but little moro than half those of who Western and Atlantic, while its not earnings were materially less. The Georgia road ranks next In earning capacity. The gross earnings of that read for the year ending June 30, 19 5, wore $8,U0 51, less than half that of thc Western and Atlantic, while Its net earnings wore $2 410.31 per mlle, also less than half thc net earning of the Western and Atlantic railroad. The not earnings of tho Southern for thc year ending June 30, 1905, were $1,535 28 per mile, Of the Central, $1,8711.21 per mile. These ligures give a correct idea of thc earning power 0i thc Western and Atlantic railroad, and show by comparison that lt ls the most valua ble property in thc stale of Georgia. Since tho Western and Atlantic ls 138 miles long,and earned $5,294.31 per milo, its total net earnings for tho year ending June 30,1005, $720,014.78. In round numbers, it earned about 5 per cent on $15,000,000. This railroad is worth what it will pay interest on. Estima'lng its value, upon a very conscrvitivc basis, this property ls worth at least $12,000 000. which ls enough to pay thc cntiro public debt of the st ate, and build sand equip 300 miles of additional railroad to the sea, which is now being agit?t-' ed. In thc face of snell fa- ts as aro prc- , sented abovo lt is sheer nonsense to ' say that a State cannot successfully operate tho local lines of railroad in its borders to the great advantage of the State as well as tho public. As Mr. Bryan says instead of state own ership tending to centralization it tends to decentralization, ns thc sev er.. 1 States would own moro of the railroads than thc National Govern ment, It will come sooner or later. Mr. Hryan is only about twenty years In advance of those who arc now con demning him. Tliey will catch up if they can work an idea through their dull brains. IN these days of increasing uso of concreto for building purposes it is interesting to recall the fae', that thc Pantheon, in Rome, about 2,000 years old, is covored by a domo, over 142 foot in diameter, which ls cast in con crete in one solid mass. Now that Mr. Riot is on the isth mus, why not let him st?y thero and dig the canal? THE Hon. Charles Towne has an nounced that he Intends to retire from congress and devote himself to making money. 'Pilings have come to a pretty pas? when a man has to leave ongrcss for that purpose. CniNKSK women are givh g up tim fracticc of compressing their feet. Iurrah! This Isa glorious sign of progress. The time ma ' not be far distant when wc shall hoar that tho women of China have put on corsets. Tine Democrats of Now York will now have a real Democrat to vote for in their State election, and wc hope Hearst will bc elected by a large ma jority. Fountain Pens For Sale.
