John D. Rockefeller presentet
as a Xew Year gift to Chicago uni
versity the sum of $3,000,000. ITi:
previous gifts to this institution
aggregate .S20.000.000. Is there at
element of sacrifice in these gifts:
The amount realized from the
farm products of the I'nited
States during 190b is marvelous in
magnitude, being $7,000,000,000,
according to the report <>f the na

No less threat arc the mineral products.
From the mines of this
country were dug $i/>23.ooo.ooo
worth of the various minerals.
A most excellent New Year resolution
suitable for adoption by
all classes is. that you will keep
your tales of woe to yourself and
not burden others with your ailments.
There is enough trouble
without the continual croaking
and complaining of dissatisfied,
discontented, imaginarily-persccuted
individuals. Don't grumble, for
you get no sympathy. Hut if you
have a spirit of joy and happiness
spout that all you please. and everybody
will listen and join in the
j< ?l"lity.

A larpe number of our subscribers
came in and paid us up a year's
renewal last week. They are helpin
tr us. by this thouphtfulness. to
make a pood paper. Many more
could pay us at an early date, and
we trust they too will do so. W hen
you come into I'niott call in and
pay us a year's renewal in advance.
We wish to express our pratitude
at the fact that quite a number
of new names came in to us
voluntarily last week, and they will
po on our list for the New Year.
We very much appreciate this
mark of pood standinp in the
minds of the pood people of I "nion
county. We are poinp to try
to do our best to keep your pood
will

It is not our intention to set ourselves
up as critics of public affairs.
much less to offer unjust and
unfair criticism of the conduct of
public affairs. But it does seem
that the management of the constabulary
errs greatly in the constant
transfer of its officers. No
sooner is a man sent to a place
and gets acquainted with the affairs
of that place, than he is
transferred to another. Such has

Emancipation day celebrations
81 are sometimes and at some places
-Imost obnoxious and detrimental to
a the good of the freed race. But,,
i such observation of the day and
" such manner of celebration asj i
i characterized January first in Un- ^
? j ion might well he taken as an exsample
for others to follow. Instead
of gaudy processions, with
; the glare of colors and the blare
'of trumpets, there was an educa[J
tional rally, dedicating a new
r school building for the improvement
of their race. And at this
rally the main feature was an adj
dress by a learned white man. This
t' fact contains in essence the soltt- <
tion. or at least the amelioration j
of the perplexing race problem. It n
lis this: the negro helping himself, i
but meanwhile accepting the ad-. i
j vice and guidance of the superior, r
race. i I

"I W01LD HAD A MOB."
Senator B. R. Tillman is reported in the papers
as havfng said in a recent speech in Birmingham:
"With the oath upon my lips to
uphold the law. I would lead a moh anv tim<=>
, to lynch a man, black or white, who had ravished
a; woman.'' %
We are very sorry Senator "^jllman said it.
yJt iK' a preachment worthy of an anarchist.
' 'If your passions are ; tirred up enough let the
law go to th%dogs." if a dngjyia yehich will win
the applause only oi the thoifcrhtless, thit prejudiced
and the ignorant. If a United States
senator may lead the mob, to trample on the
laws of our country, which are ordained of
Almighty God, and gloat in an orgv of crime
with senseless license that it may, forsooth,
show how it hates crime, then, merciful God,
pity us. and God pity our children who must
reap the consequences of the 'follies of their
fathers.
Unqualifiedly, earnestly we condemn this alleged
utterance of Senator Tillman. If we did
n<?t we would he unworthy to make a paper t? ?r
the homes of decent people.
