Good Reasons Why Red Polls Hold Aloof from Certain Other Breeds? The Application. Dr. Hillis, the eloquent divine of the North has said smart things against tho South on the negro problem. It seems that recently be has been in censed booaueo some one refused to make the bjd Booker T. Washington Uy in. He is alleged to have invited Washington to speak in his Church when he favors New York with another visit and promises to take him to his home to spend the night, and If no one else will do it bo will make his bod and consider it an honor to do so. Bully for Dr. HollU. That there Is an unwarranted exoess to which the race prejudico is indulged by some peoplo in the South there cau bo no question. Rankling In tho hearts of some men there is a feeling against tho negro close akin to murder. They would thiuk little more of killing a ne gro than of shooting a dog. But while thoEo facts are true, it is nevertheless true that these cases are rare, and by no means representative of the attitude of the Southern white men toward the negro. No moral well meaning man entertains any such antipathy for the negro. We wish him well and treat him well, only we do not accord to him social or political equality, nor can we afford to do it. I have in my pasture three distinct breeds of cattle, namely: Jerseys, Red Polls and Devons. Those Red Polls hold themselves aloof from the other breeds, seeming to manifest a race pride, preferring to associate only with each other. They detest the doctrine of social equality, Dr. Hollistothe con trary notwithstanding. Now, those red beautloa, have, for years, been bred to certain points of utility and excel lence. Thoy have a right to be proud of the achievement of their fore-fathers in the embodiment of such excellencies and merit as has been incarnatod into themselves?proud of their peculiar con tour, their color, their carriage. It Is but natural that a breed so carefully and successfully established In Its charac teristics and prepotency should rogard any attempt to cross thorn down to a low er grade of graco and grandeur,as doing violence to their posterity and throw ing insult into the face of their ances try. All of which social equality be tween tho breeds would Inevitably ac complish. I submit the cow Is right; Dr. Hollls is wrong. Nevertheless, If Dr. HUUs wishes to have Booker T. Washington speak In Plymouth Church and go home with him to eat ands'eep, he has a perfect right to do It so far as we of the South are concerned. But 1 come to tell you, if Dr. IIi 11 Is will move oown hero and try this game of social equality a few years he will find or his successors will?in genera'l<"ns to come ?that he has surrended to the Afrlco Amerlcan race a heritage he should have maintained sacred and bequeath ed unadulterated to his posterity?his Anglo-Saxon hlood. Tho fact is, we are a different breed of cattle and no one is more cognizant of that fact than tbo white people of tho South. We re cogn'ze It as our duty to maintain with scrupulous jealousy tho typo, color and general characteristics inherited from our fathers as a just and doserved her itage to our posterity. We can do this only as wo steer clear of such sophistry as is set forth In tho preaching and practice of Dr. Hlllls and President Roosevelt. Tell Dr. Illllis he can make up Bookor T. Washington's bed if he wants to, and, for tho matter of that, sleep with h'm on It. We won't. Then he can get up and rub on cologne and other liniment to rid hlmsolf of tho peculiar oder of the race, go out to Plymouth and pour stroims of elo quence spiked with vonom and spleen down the throats of Southerners and all that, but, for our part, wo are not In it. Cologne and spikenard are too high for this Southland. Brother Bou. Letter to M. H. Fowler. Laurens, S. C. Dear Sir: You 6ell good goods and give full measure.

"OLD GORGON" ON COLLEGES They Make Neither Fools Nor Bright Men?They Develop Them From "letters From a Self Math Met* ehantto Hin Son," by Qtorge Horace J/orimcr Dear Pierrepont -Your ma got back safe this morning, and she wnuts mo to be kure to tell you not to oversludy, and I want to tell you to be sure not to understudy. What we're really sending you to Harvard for la to get a little of the education that's so pood and plenty there. When It's passed around, you don't want to be bashful, but reach right out Lud take a big helping every time, for I want you to get your share. You'll find that edu cation's about the only thing lying around loose in this world and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's -willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and tho screwdriver lost. I'm anxious that you should be a good scholar, but I'm more anxious that you should be a good, clean man. And If you graduate with u sound con science I shan't care so much If there are a few holes In your Latin, There are two parts of a college education? the part that you get lu the schoolroom from the professors and the part that you get outside of It from the boya. That's tho really Important part, for the first can only make you a scholar, while the second can make you a man. Education Is a good deal like eating ?a fellow can't always tell which par ticular thing did him good, but he can usually tell which one did him harm. After a square meal of roast beef and vegetables and mince pie and water melon you can't say Just which Ingre dient Is going Into muscle, but you don't have to bo very bright to figure qut which ono started tho demand for palu killer iu your Insldes or to guess next morning which one made you be jiovo In a personal devil tho night bo foro. And so while a fellow can't flg uro out to an ounco whether it's Latin o? algebra or history or what among the.solids that Is building him up in tlds place or that, ho can go right along feeding them In and betting that they're not tho things that turn his tongue fuzzy. Does a college education pay? pp.es it pay to feed In pork trimmings at 5 cents a pound at tho hopper and draw out idee, cunning little "country" sau sages at 20 cents a pound at the other end? Does It pay to take a steer that's beeu running loose on tho range and living on cactus and petrified wood till he's just a bunch of barbed Wlro and sole leather and feed hin? corn till lie's jnst a solid hunk of porterhouse steak and oleo oil? You bet It pays. Anything extra that trains a boy to, think und to think quick pnya, Anything that teaches a boy to get the answer before tho other fellow gets through biting the pencil pays. College doesn't make fools. It de velops them. It doesn't make bright men. It develops them. A fool will turn out a fool whether he goes, tft college or not, thqpgji hf?'H probably tum out a different sort of a fool. A STAUT LING EVIDENCE.

When a ray of sunlight falls on a raindrop, It Is refracted; then part of the light 1b reflected from the Internal surface and again refracted ou leaving the drop. The white sunlight is not only refracted when It cntors and leaves the drop, but dispersion ulso takes place. The eye sees bright cir cles of light for each kind of light, and since sunlight is made up of different kinds of homogeneous li^ht we get a series of circular arcs, showing the spectrum colors, the red being outside and the other colors following in the order of descending wave length. The whole constitutes a primary rainbow. A secondary bow is sometimes seen outside the first. This is formed by the light being twice reflected inside the raindrops. The less refrangible rays are on the inner side. ItninbOWS due to still more Internal reflections ore too feeble to be observed. It is possible to got a white rainbow if the sun Is clouded or if there is a mixture Of raindrops of very different sizes. DolriK Well. Visitor?Well, Tommy, how are you getting on at school?

PREPARING FOR WAR MANEUVERS. JLaurens Soldier Writes From Portland. WORK PLENTIFUL. Interesting Account of Army Life. Why Portland was Selected as the Point Tor the Contest?Burgoync's Old Plan. Portland, Mk., Juno 8.?Portland. Maine is being pub on a war footing In preparation for the joint army and navy raanouvers this summer which will center around Portland harbor. The joint maneuvers this year will be much more elaborate and compre hensive than the preceding ones and will roprosent as closely as possible the conditions of actual warfare. There will bo no picnic connected with the. realistic drill. It will be busi ness all tho way through, and the most beneficial results to tho army and navy and the volunteers aro anticipated. Our routine of duty is as follows: The first call in tho morning for us to get up is sounded at 6.45 a. m., roll call at ii, and then for 15 minutes we have cal isthenics: eat breakfast at 0.30: fatigue call is sounded at 7: drill call at 8; re call from drill 10.30: recall from fatigue 11.30: dinner at 12; drill and fatigue call is again sounded at 1 o'clock p. m.; recall from drill 3.30 and rocall from fatigue 1.30; supper at 5.30 and roll call again at 0.15. Now you eeo we don't have much time to be idle, but never theless where thore are over ten com panies of soldier boys thoro will alwaye ba time for some ono to keep the fun going, such as "blanketing," "two-at once," "tying tho knot in tho yellow cat's tail" and many other plays which are very familiar in tho camps. ' Portland was selected as the scene of the struggle on account of the strate gic value of Its harbor in a war with any European power. Tho opposing nation, according to the war experts, probably would try to seize Portland and establish a base and throw an army across New England, following tho plan of tienoral Burgoyne In tho Revolutionary war. The'harbor is defended by Forts McKtnloy, Wil liams and Lewltt and Fort Preble, a mortar battery. There aro four entrances to the har bor, the main channel being between Forts Lewltt and Williams. The num ber of entrances will give tho coast ar tillery a largo area to defend. Hear Admiral Coghlan, now in com mand of tho Caribbean squadron, pro bably will command tho attacking fleet and Hoar Admiral Baker will be assisted by Rear Admiral Sands com manding the training squadron. There will surely be an exciting time during the maneuvers which will last about a week. There will be people from nearly all over tho Tnlted States to witness tho scene. The soldier boys of this island will shout at tho top of their voices when the order comes for us to pull pegs and roll canvas for wo all aro tired of staying on this island, and it. is too confining and there Isn't anything on it.but rocks and mosquitoes Somo of the mosqultoas tly up on tree* and bark and several weigh a pound.
