More Race Prejudice.
New York State has furnished an?
other instance of their race prejudice
against the negro and the falsity of
* their claim that they are the negro's
special friend. James H. Tarbert,
who is the assistant principal of the
Fort Valley, Ga., High and Industrial
School, with a party has been in the
habit of making "trips through the
North soliciting funds for the school.
This summer he made a trip through
the Adirondacks and he and his party
had great difficulty in securing food
and shelter. They finally wound up at
Saranac Lake, a summer resort where
they gave a concert. After the con?
cert they went to a hotel to get lodg?
ing and the proprietor laughed at them.
This was repeated at two other hotels,
one of which gave them some hash and
tea on the grass in the back yard and
'charged them 25 cents each. They
then tried farm houses and finally se?
cured the privilege of sleeping in a
hay loft This was pretty rough treat?
ment to receive in the land of great
moral ideas and the brotherhood of
man. We do not know that they
would have fared any better at South
vern hotels nor would they have applied
at them, but they had a right to ex
, peet different and better treatment
at the hands of these loud-mouthed
friends in the Adirondacks. We make
no professions here of receiving ne?
groes on an eqnality bnt up there
-they do. but it seems it is all a profes?
sion. Hypocrisy wears a very thin
veil.-Anderson Mail.

Anarchists in Danger.
Chicago, Sept. 13.-General orders
were issued tonight by Chief of Police
O'Neill for every available man on the
police force throughout the city to be
kept on reserve in the event that there
was any demonstration against the
*** anarchists. At central station 35 men
were detailed to watch the principal
hotels and public buildings for any
signs of a demonstration, and thirty
more were held in reserve. At .the
detail station the entire day force was
held on reserve duty.
"We are prepared" for any kind of an
emergency." said Chief O'Neill. "If
any one cares to create a disturbance.
I believe we will be abie to stop any
acts of violence. The county jail is
weil guarded and in addition the entire
force is so mobolized that it can be
called together in a short time.*'
Three men, one of them the son of
*"? prominent hotel keej er, visited the
offices of the papers during the early
part of the evening, with a call writ?
ten out and signed by all three, asking
that if there were definite news of the
death of President McKinley by 10
-o'clock tomorrow morning, they want?
ed ten thousaand men to meet them
in front of the county jail and take
steps to lynch the anarchists confined
in the building. Their call met with
little response, although the general
feeling was with them. There were
no crowds around the jail or around
the Harrison street police stati m.
and no indications of any.
At the same time the police recog?
nized the possibility of trouble when
authentic news should be received of
tie president's death, and announce!
themselves ready and able to protect
their prisoners if any attack should be
made against them.
Crowds in Buffalo Break for Jail.
^Buffalo, Sept. 14.--Shortly after
midnight the great crowds on the
.streets became excited over a rumor
that the president was dead. A rush
was made toward the police station
where Czolgocz is confined. It was
promptly met by the police reserves
^mounted and on foot and driven back
after a weak resistance. In fact
^enty policemen handled the mob on
oire street without trouble, indicating
that they were not much in earnest
in their endeavors to get to police
headquarters.
Mrs. Mattie Hughes Skips.
_
Spartanburg, S. C., Sept. 12.
There is a defendant missing at the
criminal court in Greenville this
week, says the Spartanburg Journal.
The celebrated Mattie Hughes case
was to have come up, but the defend?
ant is not there, and she is ont here,
where her home has been for more
than a year past. She has been run?
ning a restaurant and it is generally
conceded has made a great deal ?of
money and trouble.
Mattie A. Hughes left this town last
week in the attire of a man. She sold
her restaurant business and for a day
I or so was seen about town several
times with man's clothing on. It has
been hinted by some who pretend to
know that she" has either gone to
Charleston or Charlotte. It is not be?
lieved she is in the city.
This woman has been the cause of
a great deal of trouble. Nearly three
years ago she killed her husband,
George W. Hughes, at Greers, and
three times she was put on trial, but?
in each case a mistrial resulted. Judge
Townsend heard the case first and it
is his time at Greenville again. A
few liquor cases are pending against
her there.
In Spartanburg her course did not
improve and complaint resulted from
her establishment at the depot. Fights
became frequent and the police were
in demand. A case for keeping a dis?
orderly house was made by the grand
jury.
It is understood she has threatened
the chief of police. Several cases for
liquor selling are pending against her.
Mrs. Hughes is undoubtedly away.
She dressed up in a S15 suit, took 82,
000 it is said, and went out to see the
world.
To County Superintendents.
Dear Sir: It is now unlawful for a
school to be operated with the old text
books. Attend to this matter in ad?
vance, and do not wait until a teach?
er's certificate is presented to you for
approval. As the schools open the
new books should be put in and the
old books taken up. It is your duty
as County Superintendent to exert
yourself to facilitate the exchange of
books, and save the loss that will re?
sult from neglecting this matter.
You are forbidden by law to allow any
teacher to be paid who uses the old
books instead of the new.
In addition ;!totaking up the old
books and selling the new through the
depositories, County Superintendents
are hastening the exchange by secur?
ing the cooperation of the merchants
in different country neighborhoods.
They have recommended to the pub?
lishers reputable men to handle the
adopted books on consignment, and
the publishers have consented to ship
supplies to all such persons-the books
to be sold at the wholesale contract
price, the merchants handling them
to be allowed 5 per cent of the
proceeds in compensation. Although
this is small compensation it sat?
isfies the country merchant who
realizes the value of the advertise?
ment in handling the school
books of the neighborhood. Text
books are thus sold as cheaply in the
country neighborhoods as from the
County Depositories. The publisher
thus receives less for his books in this
State than anywhere else in the world,
and school children buy books at the
price wholesale dealers have to pay
outside of South Carolina.
I write to ask if you are one of the
County Superintendents who have
made this arrangement in their coun?
ties? If you have not done so, I wish
to urge you to do so at once. The
publishers that have so far consented
to this arrangement are the B. F.
Jonhson Company and Ginn & Com?
pany. Theirs are the books that are
most necessary-readers, arithmetics,
geographies and histories. They
started this arrangement, and I am
now trying to induce other publishers
to make it.
OLD BOOKS CLEANED UP.
Some parents may not be fully in?
formed of the fact that all old school
books now in the hands of school chil?
dren can be turned into money while
the new books are being purchased :
but that if they neglect this until
November 15th, 1901, it will be too
late after that. 1 have learnd that
some merchants, not wishing to be
bothered with taking up- the old
books, do not encourage them to be
broughton, and there are people who
are buying books, not knowing that
they can turn their old books into
money. Each County Superintendent
should see to it that "no such mistake
occurs in his county. Inform all your
teachers and trustees, and secure from
all'merchants assurance of cooperation :
and have your county sweet clean of
the old books. Very truly.

I Some Remarks on the American
Giri.
By an Englishman.
One hesitates to express sometimes
one's opinion on many of the great
questions and facts of life, and in this
case, when the fact is so patent and
clear: when one's pen is poised with
a fine measure of praise in it, yet we
halt, feeling we cannot deal ont such
fair justice and rightful honor as fits
the present case.
In this vast country, where a hun?
dred miles is a toy in. the sight of rail?
roads, where the conditions and the
opportunities and the ceaseless press?
ing toward the mark of a higher civil?
ization is dismayed at nothing, we
pause in reverence. For side by side
with the material development which
looks before and after with such care?
ful eyes there is one thing which has
outstripped it, leaving it lost in the
receding distance.
In womanhood the American girl has
caused the eclipse of nations. In a
universe of great planets she has
arisen as another planet and the rest
are as little stars shedding bravely
their fitful little lights, their tiny
beams before a greater radiance.
When we have counted out the sum
of human frailties and detected the
smallness of our greatness and the
greatness of our smallness, too, as we
march through life : with the steady
grace of an ever abiding dignity, we
can confess with an open and contrite
heart that it is not manhood which
soars, but womanhood.
No country in the world possesses
such noble women as America. None
can show their equals in dauntless
character and in that fine freedom
and clear vision of what life is and
what it is not. The problem of sex
and the strong law of attraction lose
some of its worse powers when the
artificiality, that lays its hand so heav?
ily in other countries, has been re?
moved. In many ways this artificiality
is one of the worst evils possible. By
a smug hypocrisy it assures us with
honied\oice that "allis well," but
beneath its breath is the worldly smile
which knows so many things-the
bitter things that break down faith
and rend the veils of holy imaginings.
But here, where lite moves on such
lusty wings, social conditions as is na?
tural feel the influence, the pomp and
the circumstance of it. And the law,
the righteous law, is that women are
not looked down upon as a pleasant
toy to pass away the shining hours,
but by the best men they are looked
up to. Such men realize they are
standing before the greate presences
-the great pr?sences which can make
of life no small and shallow thing, but
can mold it nearer to the heart's
desire.
Only in America is it possible to
achieve a great friendship between a
man and a woman, because every
woman has not that most foolish belief
that every man is a possible husband.
The close companionship which is
practical invites the sympathy and
understanding that yield the rich har?
vest of true comradeship with that
precise touch of reverence which a
man cari render to a woman, but
which is so rare between a man and a
man.
The inevitable difference which
exists in the temperaments of a man
and a woman meet, not on the super?
ficial ground built by the artificial for?
mulas of other countries, but on that
serener ground where the winds blow
free and strong as a summer breeze
on the levels of the Atlantic.
It is here where the clear, whole?
some sanity of the American girl
stands as a goodly contrast to others.
Not for her the maudlin neuroticism,
when, so to express it, the love nerves
are stricken with a morbidness that
marks one of the generation of degen?
erates, but the clean, healthy view of
life with commandments of her own,
for the crash of their breaking one
may listen without avail.
Her originality of mind, her grasp
of things and the greatness with
which she uses her power, make her
not merely fit to be companions of
men, but leaders of them also. Exact?
ly where the English girl fails she
rises triumphant by virtue of a finer
intuition of a deeper insight into the
meaning of things.
"Into the meaning of things!''
This is the revelation she sees; this
is what makes her the most attractive
and the most spiritual woman in a
wide world, because it is that atten?
tive adjusting of the spiritual and the
physical which produces the most
beautiful of characters. It is the rec?
ognition that after all the heart and
soul blending with a fine accord can
make vaster music than one devoid of
the other : that wc are all wondrous
kin in our humanity, but if we have
sorrows let them be noble and let our
joys be noble, to. To cross out fal<e
emotion, to have no dealings with
common trivialities, this the Ameri?
can girl seems to hold more strongly
than others.
To those who love to run riot with
spurious opinions, who love to rend a
great country with studied invective.
I would simply say. "do you know an
American girl."
Wi nburg, Orange River Colony, Sept.
9. Barker's column has returned here
front a 160 mile march through the
Senekal district. The soldiers were
astonished to find green wheat fields
everywhere, no troops, having visited
that region since December, so the
Boers had time to plough and sow.
They retreated to the mountains on
the approach of the British, who cap?
tured 100 men. women and children,
enormous quantities of grain and
1,500 head of cattle.

HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.
New York, Sept. ll.-European mar?
kets paid more attention to the offers
and the south than to the steadiness
of the American market, and came
disappointing in tone tobe followed by
a decline. Receipts are comparatively
i light, representing the lateness of the
I crop in the Atlantic, and the disposi?
tion of Texas to hold on account of the
disaster to the crop in that State. A
large purchase of print cloths in Fall
River at full prices cleared that mar?
ket of the surplus stock which had
been pressing for sale. Weather con?
ditions continue favorable for the
development of the crop. European
selling orders furnished the contract
which were bought by the local trade
who took for a reaction abroad from
the depression of today, and some in?
vestment buying on Mr. Ellison's es?
timate that at present prices ship?
ments would consume 11,000,000 bales
of American cotton. The undertone,
however, was not confident.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.
Queer Form of Hysteria.
Dr. Dimopoulos, a medical practi?
tioner of the town of Kutahla, in Asia
Minor, sends to a Smyrna journal par?
ticulars of an ' 'epidemic" among
women of that town, which has proba?
bly no parallel in modern experience.
About three years ago a young woman
became subject to a form of hiccough
like the crow of a cock, which resisted
treatment : soon after a second began
to hiccough like a cat mewing, and in
six months there were sixty women in
the town affected with what may be
described as animal hiccoughs, ex?
ceedingly varied. Braying, barking
and sounds like those made by the
fox are included in the list. Dr.
Dimopolous says that to be in a room
among a number of those women was
like an' experience of the forest or a
menaegrie. Some men are affected,
but the victims are mostly women,
which is intelligible if the doctor's
theory is correct, that the disease, for
which he vouches, is a form of imita?
tive hysteria.-Pall Mail Gazette.
An Economical Dog.
It is not often that a dog will be
found showing as much intelligence
as the pet of Miss Mary Owen, of Xo.
30 North 9th street. This dog believes
in economy in the home and was not
slow, the other day, in acting upon his
belief. There was a visitor at the
Owen residence who met great favor
in the eyes of the family pet. The dog
made friends with the guest immedi?
ately and stayed by her side during her
visit to receive caresses. Just as the
visitor was preparing to leave the
thoughtful animal decided that his
new friend should be rewarded for her
caresses, so excusing himself with a
bark, 'he left the room. In a short
time he returned with a basket con?
taining peaches. Straight to the vis?
itor went* the dog and placed the bas?
ket upon the sofa beside her. The
guest accepted the canine's treat and
selected two fine peaches from the
basket. The dog then picked up the
basket, but instead of carrying it
away stood there and whined. Neither
hostess nor guest could tell what was
the matter, but the canine soon en- !
lightened them. Releasing the basket
he jumped upon the sofa beside the
guest and, taking one of her peaches,
dropped it back with the others. Then
he picked up the basket and carried
it into the kitchen.-St. Joseph,
Mo., News.
The crime of wife desertion is a
growing one among the negroes and is
an evil that should be abated by some
more stringent legislation. As it is
here now the penalty does not fit the
crime and the grade of the offense
ought to be raised to measure up some?
where to the seriousness of the offense.
The legislature of Minnesota has raised
it to the grade of a felony punishable
by imprisonment in the penitentiary
for not less than one nor more than
three years with a provision for sus?
pension of sentence if the husband
gives a bond for the support of his
wife and family. That is a wise law
for it enables the courts to enforce
their jurisdiction over the culprits by
means of a requisition upon the gov?
ernor of any State to which he may go.
As it is here now a man has only?j to
cross the Savannah river and he is
safe and his family is left to get along
as best they can or perhaps to become
a public charge. Close akin to this is
the crime of wife beating, for which
there is no adequate punishment pro?
vided now. There is but one penalty
that, fits that crime, and that is the
whipping posr. A man who is so de?
graded as to beat his wife ought to be
strung up and punished in kind.
Nothing would deter him so much as
letting bim feel how it is himself

The proposed combination of the
bituminous coal interests of Ohio,
Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Illinois
and Kentucky, it is noted, would put
under a single management mines that
will produce 150.000,000 tons of the
total of about '210.000,000 tons of that
kind ol'coal in the year 1901 ; about
th ree- iou rt hs of all the bituminous
coal mined in the United States. It
leaves out for the present CO, 000,000
tons mined in the south and in Mis?
souri, Iowa and Kansas and the Trans
Missouri States, but will include them
a little later. Truly wise states and
smaller districts in this part of the
country will do well to begin to take
care of the remnant of their standing
timber, if only for fuel purposes. They
will pay smartly for their neglect if
they do not.

A Bear in Lancaster.
Lancaster Ledger, Saturday : There
is some excitement in the Primus sec?

bear was seen by Mr. J. D. Hinson
near his home last Tuesday evening.
He followed it some little distance
into the woods and fired several
shots from his pistol at it, to which
it paid no attention. It was going in
a kind of fox trot and did not quicken
his gait. Mr. Hinson and some of his
neighbors tried to track it to its hid?
ing place the next morning, but soon
lost the track in the woods.
