The company is in a very flourish ing condition now. and their proposed outing will give additional life to the organization. The Inevitable Solution. The Hon. John Temple Graves, who has been lecturing in the North and West on the “negro problem,” has re cently published an article in which he says that the separation of the two races is “the logteal, the inevitable, the only solution of thia great problem,” and continues : “The politicians and the apathy be hind them may postpone the solution for a while longer, but sooner or Inter the wisdom of the fathers and tie purpose of the Almighty will prevail. “The negro (route a hopeless and unequal competition. His destiny is set down in competition with the destiny of the dominant and all con quering race cf history. “Iho last best hope of the negro is separati on. “The last best hope of the white man for purity and justice and law and civilization and for material de velopment is in separation from the race which tempts him to violate them all. ‘lt is high time for b >th races to realize this stern, inexorable fact, and set themselves peaceably and humane ly to the inevitable destiny of division ” Mr. Graves declares that th." pi- pie of the South, white ami black, “would ba amazed to knew the magnitude of the indorsement and approval which meets the proposition everywhere.” Commenting on this, the Charleston News and Courier says : “We believe with Mr. Graves that the s> paralion is as inevitable as it is desirable in the best interests of both races. Ils ac ceptance and accomplishment is only a question of time.” After all there are a great many people left who know the truth when they see it —Macon Telegraph The Sunday School Picnic- l’j not fail to get your tickets for the picnic tomorrow as the railroad is not selling them G> to the Griffin Banking Company or the City Nation al Bank where the tickets are on sale.

If the Cubans act decently they will , have self-government.

But if tiny act in bad faith, if they compel us to use 1 force to accomplish what we have in 1 view, it is pretty safe to say that Cu ’ ban independence will not be realized for many a year, if at all.

It is cer tain that we slwtll not leave Cuba- un til we think our work there is done, and we shall be the judges as to when it is done. 5S otild it not have been a wiser plan to have offered the Cuban soldiers nothing? The proposition to pay them that amount has led the Cu ban generals to believe apparently that if they threaten to make trouble a great deal more than that sum will be forthcoming—Savannah News Tiscovared by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent.
