turn around so as to expose the weak
points in his make up.
—I.amar Enp?, after several years

—I’rof. Bish Carpenter and Luther

no doubt there would have been hot
times in the old tow n.

Good Advice.
When Booker T. Washington, the
well knows colored educator, speaks to
his race they will do well to listen aud
profit thereby. Here is his latest ad¬
vice:

must live by the sweat of our brow
Let us give the masses industrial edu¬
cation. What does the negro or a

tion unless there are it opportunities 'advantage?

Work, work, work; take up the hatch¬
et and saw; follow the plow; push the
plane. I see no good for you in pol¬
itics, but I see plenty of harm. The
colored population gets excited every
four years aud many leave the farm to
sit around aud wait lor an office.
Some have not worked since McKinley
was made president, and their families
are approaching starvation. Politics
have ruined us and put us back many
years. Live orj friendly terms with
the Southern white people. Help to

every man who commits criminal as
sault. Protect and defend all women
with your life and we will have a man¬
hood among our race that we shall be
proud of. In this way we can stop
lynching. Watch this Germans and

workers and merchants. Ifot-heads

trouble and poverty.”

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
Champ Clark’s Eulogy of a Much
Abused Individual.
In his defense of the country editor
in Congress a few days since lion.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, said:
“Having once been a country editor
myself, I entertain a most kindly feel¬
ing for my old conferees. I am willing
to make atlidavit that the eleven
months I spent ip beneficial editing a rural jour¬ life
nal wete the most of my

am proud to have belonged to the edi¬
torial guild. I am unaiteraoly
opposed to anythiug that will
injure the country editor, curtail his
profits, circumscribe his usefulness, or
place an additional thorn in his path¬ bles3
way. The rural editor—God
him—is the most persistent of teach¬
ers. Like charity as described by St.
Paul uj the thirteenth chapter of First
Corinthians, he ‘sulTereth long aud is
kind; he envieth not hitnsif, is not
puffed up; does not behaye himseif un
eeemly; seeketb not his own; is not eas¬
ily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoic
eth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in
truth; bcareth all things, bopeth all
endureth all things.”
“He is the backbone of every com¬
munity, the promoter of every lauda¬
ble enterprise, the worst underpaid la
laborer in the vineyard. Counting
his space as his capital, he gives more
to charity, his means considered, than
any other member of society. He is a
power in politics, a pillar of the church,
a leader in the crusade for better mor
als. He is pre-eminently the friend of
humanity. Line upon line, paragraph

words of praise for Chamberlain’s
Cough from Remedy. Here is a sample let¬
ter Mrs. C. Shep, of Little Rock,
Ark.: “I was suffering from a very
severe cold, when I read of the cures
that had been effected by Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy. I concluded to
give it a trial and accordingly procured
a bottle. It gave me prompt relief,
aud I have the best reason for recom¬
mending it very highly, which I do
with pleasure.” For saie by W. J.
