Rev. Sam Jones says again that

The election for dispensaries in
Rome has been declared off for
the present, at least that is what
the Rome Tribune says.
Trips of “no political signifi
cance” by alleged gubernatorial
Candida'es are just now creating
much interest among those that
like to keep up with the proces
sion.
The news item concerning the
action of the Thomas county grand
jury in reference to euchre players
was taken from the Atlanta News
and not the Atlanta Journal. The
grand jury did not “ignore” the
charge of the presiding judge nor
did the news item so state or even
intimate such.
MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION.
The impression is very strong
among those who tire in touch
w'th the members of the Robert
Ogden party that recently visited
the South in the interest of edu
cation, that steps will soon be
taken to greatly increase the
South’s educational advantages.
Asa 1 ready stated in the Morning
News a board of seven Southern
men will be created, of which Mr.
Ogden is to be the chairman. It is
expected that through this board
a very large amount of money
will be given for educational
purposes. The money wil l be dis
tributed throughout the Southern
states. It is the plan to send
agents into every county to arouse
interest in education. The aim will
be to get the people themselves
to contribute more to the public
school, and when this is accom
plished contributions will be made
from a fund that will be donated
lor that purpose. It may be that
the gift of money will be made on
on the plan that Mr. Carnegie
gives money to towns for libraries
—that is, so much will be given to
a county that raises a certain sum
Irom its own citizens.
It is well understood, of course,
that money is not to be donated
especially tor negro schools. The
white schools are to have their
share of it. It is recognized that it
would be a mistake to undertake
to give negroes educational advant
ages superior to those possessed
bv the whites.
Of course, there is no plan for
the distribution of money agreed
upon yet, and none will be until
the board in question is appointed.
There will necessarily be a good
deal of discussion of details, even
after the main features have been
settled. It may, therefore, be sev
eral weeks before anything definite
is known of what the philanthop
ists propose to do.
It will be recalled that Mr.
Rockefeller, a son of John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil mag
nate, was one of the Ogden partv.
There is a rumor that he is to be
one of the largest contributors to
the educational fund. It seems
that he has some views of his own
as to what very rich men should
do with their money, and that his
father is willing that he shall put
his views to a practical test. —Sa-

YOUNG MEN AND SOCIETY.
Senator Depew was asked the
other day what he thought of the
opinion recently expressed by Mr.
Schwab.president of the steel trust,
that “society is a bad thing foi a
young man with a career before
him.” He said: “Society is ruin
ous. A young man needs all his
energies, all of his vital force, for
his career.”
In the course of his talk Sena-
tor Depew said that a few days
ago he was talking of this very
matter with a distinguished lawyer
I in the office of the latter The law
! yer has two sons who are college
j graduates, and in every respect
j worthy young men but they are
overwhelmed with social atten
: tions. They are in their father’s
! office, trying to read law, but have
j not much time to give to their
studies. In the same office is an
other young man. He is poor, and
for the privilege he enjoyes he
dusts the furniture and does other
odd jobs. The lawyer, in the course
of his conversation with Mr. Depew
sa : d: “What worries me is the
thought that when I arn gone this
poor young man will probably be
at the head of this business, and
my sons will be in his employ—if
he cares to employ them.”
Poverty is a good thing for a
young man to start with who
hopes to make something out of
himself. Society is a mill stonei
about a young man’s neck —a
young man who is capable of
making something out of life and
is disposed to do so. Too much
society is not good for either
young men or young women. So
ciety and business do not get
along well together. Devotion to
society neglect of business.
Senator Depew and Mr. Schwab
are right, Society is bad for
young men who have their way to
make in the world.
WHAT AN AD, DOES.
In a lecture on “The Making of
a Newspaper” Charles Hopkins
Clark of the Hartford (Conn.)
Courant presented the advertising
end in a very practical and con
vincing manner.
“It is enough,” he said, “that
the newspaper does have such uni
versal reading. That makes the
business opportunity for the ad
vertiser,and it is by what it receives
for carrying on his work for him
that the paper can be sold for less
than it costs. Imagine yourself
appointed agent to canvass Hart
fort for the sale of any article,
however desirable. How are you
going to get at the public? Mail
them circulars, and the postmen
groan and the wastebaskets in our
to,ooo homes give each a weary
yawn, and the circular disappears
unread. Call upon people and ex
plain the merits of your wares?
How are you going to get in? The
sign ‘Our Busy Day’ hangs in big
letters in business offices; in pri
vate houses you must ring the
bell. Oftenest you are turned
away. If you get in by any!
shrewd excuse, you cannot go be
yond the h ill or reception room.
You are quietly watched there in
the interest of overcoats and um
brellas, and when you explain your
errand you are speedily restored
to the outer air. But put a clev
erly worded advertisement of those
same wares into a uewspaper that
has an e tablished circulation in
the city's homes and business
houses and see what happens.
You couldn’t get in there yourself,
but your advertisement is thereon
the breakfast table, in the library,
in the parlor, in the sewing-room,
and when everybody is inquiring
for the paper, which can’t be found,
it is very likely doing duty on the
quiet in the kitchen. It is all
over the house, and wanted there.
You were not. Similarly at the
office, it. is read and reread, and
part of the uss of the ‘Our
Busy Day’ sign is to get the chance
to read the papers. The advei
tisement thus started is taken right
into the family life and the busi
ness life. This has always been
the case, and I don’t see why it
should not continue to be And
it is interesting to note that the
advertisement has another than a
commercial use. It is printed for
business purposes puieand simple,
but after it has served its day it
takes its place in the picture of the
life of the times. Back a hundred
years or more in our files the ad
vertisements are really more inter
esting than the news, socalled.
They show what people ate and
drank, what they vvore and what
they read, and, by offering to meet
aH the wants of their time, show
what those wants were and what
were the conditions of the life to
which they belonged If our pap
ers survive the advertisements of
today will serve a similar pur
pose.”
THE NEGRO CENSUS.
Macon Telegraph.
It is common to speak loosely
of the 10,000,000 negroes of the
United States, and probably few
persons are aware that this esti
mate is fully 1,500,000 too large.
It is reported from Washington
that the negro population of the
country, as determined in last
year’s census, will be found to be
not quite 8,500,000. This number
will no doubt prove to be approx
imately correct, and if so,it will
show that the negro population
has increased in the past ten .ears
a little over 1,000,000 or less than
14 per cent. Accepting this esti
mate, we have the following com
plete census rocord covering no
years:

I 1890 7.470.C40 889.247 1351
1900 8400, 000 1,029.900 1378
As will be seen, the largest per
| cent, increase was shown by the
} census of 1810, at a period when
the natural increase was aided
materially by fresh importations
of slaves from Africa. The census
of 1870, and each anoint the census
of 1870, and such an extraordinary
falling off is attributed, no doubt
rightly, to a defective census. This
would account for the abnormally
large increase shown bv a correct
census in 1880. In order to provide
a more satisfactory basis for com
parison, it would be better to add
th e incr ease shown for 1870 to
that for 1880, take one-half that
sum, and thus provide an average
increase of 22.35 P cr cent, foreach
census. Noting the very slight per
cent, increase for 1900 over 1890,
which the above table shows, a
Northern exchange suggests better
sanitary conditions as the proba
ble cause, and adds: “But it is not
probable that the proportion of
colored to white population in this
country will materially increase in
the future above that shown by
the last censuses. It is more likely
to decrease.”
This is the interesting point
brought out by the latest returns.
Although, as we now know, the
remarkably high rate of increase
shoNvn by the census ot 1880 was
misleading, it conveyed the im
pression that the blacks were in
creasing faster than the whites and
caused alarm among Southern
observers. The census of 1890 told
a very different story, showing
that the whites were increasing
much faster than the blacks. And
now comes the census of 1900,
fully sustaining and confirming
the showing for 1890. This tact is
cause for congratulation,especially
among the people of the southern
states, to whom the thought that
their descendants might becrowd
ed out by an alien race has been
the reverse of agreeable.

LETTER NO 4.
Port Said, Egypt, March 19th,
1901. —Well, here after two days
of fine sailing down alonf the
shores of Greece, and past Crete,
the little island which caused as
much disturbance a few years ago.
We left Brindisi at midnight, Sun
day, and had perfectly smooth
sea until we passed Crete and got
out into the open when we struck
a head sea, and had the waves
breaking over the bow as the
boat took a dive ,but I didn’t feel
a bit inconvenienced.
Not much to see hen.. A rather
dirty town and modern looking
except for the natives themselves,
who look very queer in their long
bloomer like trousers and some
of them with kilts on. Them the
women, with their faces nearly
covered and some kind of protec
over their noses. My! What fool
ishness! I’ve seen two or three
flocks of goats and sheep being
herded thro’ the streets, each with
a tiny bell on his neck making
“music in the air.“

Heart disease kills suddenly, but
never without warning. The warn
ings may be faint and brief, or may
be startling and extend over many
years, but they are hone the less

victim is deceived by the thought,
‘■it will pass away.” Alas, it never
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
