DISGUISED AS A MAN.
A woman has just been discovered
in New York who has masqueraded
in men’s clothes for years. Not
long ago she fell on the ice and
fractured her leg, and being taken
to the hospital, her sex was dis-
covered. She hud been going under
the name of Harry Gorman, and at
one time gamed much prominence
in a local political campaign.
When her sex was discovered,
she was furious, and declared that
as soon as she was released from
the hospital she would again don
male attire. She kept her word;
and one day she escaped, taking n
suit of clutbes belonging to one of
the physicians.
Harry is said to have a sister who
also wears men’s clothing.

BRYAN MAKES A THREAT.
Thd threat of William J. Bryan
to leati a revolt in the next demo
cratic national convention unless
things go to suit his ideas clearly
shows the extent to which Mr.
Bryan is wilting to let bi« motives
of malice and spite lead him.
Rule or ruin is his motto, and he
threatens to carry it out to the
letter. Mr. Bryan has shown that
he is not a patriotic democrat. He
cares nothing for the success of his
party If it is gained without his
dictation.
Mr. Bryan says there are worse
tilings for the party than defeRt and
one of them is the desertion of
principles. In other words, he is
mare willing to see the party suffer
defeat forever than for him and his
pet hobbies to be dumped. If the
voters of the democratic party had
rather follow off after Bryan and
his nonsense than stick to their
party and see it successful, vvhy, of
course, nothing can be done, but
we .cannot believe that. lie can
secure a sufficient following to put
his threat into execution with auy
show of force.
CLARK HOWELL’S LETTER.
Hon, Clark Howell has placed
X German professor says: "The
Monroe Doctrine is an empty pre
tension, behind winch it neither
energetic nor actual power.” If
any European power, especially
Germany, is fool enough to accept
the professor’s word, they will find
there are more things behind it than
they were looking for.
A man named Stone wee lined
one day thii week by Recorder
Broyles, of Atlanta, for kissing a
negro woman in a public restaurant.
Stone is a white man, and when
asked if he had no race prejudices,
replied that he did not. He further
said he would be perfectly willing
to marry a negro woman. The
recorder lined him $50.75 and told
him he was needed at the White
House.; . •.
SOflE PERTINENT FACTS.
No weekly paper can be published For
$1 a year unless the circulation -runs
up in the several thousands and as a
consequence there is an immense ad-
vertising patronage. This haa alwayi
been true, but it is more vividly Ulus
trated at this time, with the present
high price of print paper to contend
with. Charge $1.60 per year for your
paper and lay It to the truat. By so
doing the print paper inannfactureni
will have to hold the bag a part of the
time. A raise nil along the line would
undoubtedly raise Cain with the com'
binatidok.
Wfe take the above paragraph
' front u paper read before the Dea
Moines Editorial association, writ,

Some people may doubt this state'

thing about the newspaper bushiest
will doubt it for one moment,

himself in an extremely embarras
■mg position, first, by writing
letter to the president, seeking his
favor for a friend, and-secondly,
by concealing a certain paragraph
of a letter written to him in reply
by the president.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Howell it the chosen representa
tive of Georgia on the national
democratic executive committee.
It will aSso be remembered that
since President Roosevelt began
his policy of forcing negro office
holders on the South, Southern
democratic leaders' agreed to ask
no favors of the president.
The disclosure of the letter writ
ten by the president to Mr. How
ell developes the ’feet that Mr,
Howell had asked the president
for a favor and also show* that be
tried to keep this fact from be'
coming known by failing to print
the flrst paragraph of the preal-
dent's letter written in reply to

The President gave a full copy of
the letter to the press,and it was at
once teen that the one tie gave out

Howell in the Constitution were
radically different in that Mr.
Howell's letter omitted the, first
paragraph which by 'tit wording
shows that Mr. Howell had asked
the president’s influence in favor
ot a friend, In view,of the agree
ment which he knew to exist, his
action placet Mr. Howell in an
unenviable position before the
people of the South.

EVERETTE GROCERY,
Thompson’s old Sund.
All sad she seems, but not forsaken
and aiono;
Nor left to wander wide in pathB un
known.
It was a sad scene that met the eyes
of the spectators in the court house
lost Saturday; a scano that was calcu
lated to melt the heart of the hardest
old sinner. A beautiful little woman
bereft of her hurband, her happy life
forever blighted to a lnrge extent on
account of her true, kind, loving and
affectionate husband having been
hurled off into eternity by the careles-
ness of some employee of a heartless
railroad corporation—as she Sat before
the court and Jury and her able attor
neys were^ppealing to the sympathy,
good Judgement and common sense of
the Jurymen, there were very few dry
eyes in the room. Ah, what a picture)
They presented the picture of the fe'
licitous event of their marriage,' their
happy home and the anxious awaiting
for the return of the engineer when he
was off on duty and the Joy experienced
by both of them when he returned
home all right oil time; and then, the
horrible sight of his mangled body ns it
came home to her cold in death after
that awful accident. And now to think
that great railroad company which he
had served so faithfully for a number
of years, lost his life on the post of
duty and it would refuse to give his
widow the dollars she asked ns dam'
ages for her loss in a financial sense,to
say nothing of the pain and agony she
iqffered on account of the separation
from her deadly beloved husband.
But wo mbst all luam sooner or later
that corporations have no souls, and
know well how to use their great piles
money as a power to oppress the
weak and the poor all over this land
and country. The Jury in the case re
ferred to above cut the pretty widow’s
claim down jto ten thousand dollars,
fjtit I learn that the case .will be car
ried up to the supreme court.
The court house was crowded Tues
day with spectators, as the rain ran
the farmers out of their fields and they
came to the city to take in the court
while the,ground was too wet to plow.
It was my pleasure to mingle with and
shake the hands of a number of good
and representative Citisens from vari
ous parts of the county, Ameng whom
was my esteemed friend, Oapt. Will
Collins. He informed me that two of
bis neighbor negroes had a little mis
understanding last Monday, in which
club-axe played a eonsplcuous part-
splitting the head of Henry Harrell
open and his assailant has left for parts
unknown. The sheriff sent a posse
after the blood-thirsty negro, but at
this writing nothing has been heard
from them. While the majority ot our
colored cltixens, are quiet, peaceable
and industrious people, there is a large
number ot them that are like what the
old colored preacher said the devil was
—"des loafen ’round to seekin ’em he
■nought hurt, or rabblsh some good
’omem when she’* lest ’spectin’ it.” All
of that class should be hung just as
soon as possible, ar sent to the penttem
tlary for DO years forthwith immediate
ly, If not sooner. One or two first-class
hangings in each community would
doubtless be of lasting benefit to all
The man that was the unfortunate vic
tim of that worthless scoundrel was a
good worker and the manager of
three hone farm for Mr. Jones, of near
VnodiUa, and in all probability will
die, while the sorry dead-beat that
used the axe on hlmfis still at large.
The following Is the part of my letter
that was continued in my last Issue—it
is relative to the colored cititen* who
are trying to elevate their race to a
higher standard of morality t
Rev. J. W. Smith U one of the few
negro preacher* who thinks that the
white man of the South is the negroe’s
host friend. Hu says that when Gabriel
toot* hit horn for Roosevelt, Bishop
Turner and the rest of mankind to
“tuck their tails” and get under the
dirt, the colored man will be here
workihg Just at hard as he is now.
Rev. J. E. Ross, who lives on one of
Mr. M. E. Kashin’s farms,- believes in
the negro working out hit own salvation
and eating the white man’s rations
until he can make some of hit own,
Ross it hard-working, industrious and
is trying to teach his race to live an
honest life and tell the truth.
Rev. D. B. Coxe, of Unadilla, is la
boring among his people, trying to
elevate them to a higher "plane. He
•ays that he is proud of his name—ne
gro—and that *ny one of his race who
is ashamed of it, is not worthy of the
company of the best class of negroes
I had just bought a “Proctor hat,”
And went to see my "girl
My heart, it beat n plt-apat,

Just took wings and flew.
