■OBLE BTMPATHX OR PLAII POL
ITICS?
The New York Journal, one of
the famous Hearts newsp»p r« end
one of the most influential newspa
pers in the world, has a very sensi
ble article on Roosevelt’s negro pol
icy, from which the News and Bun
takes the following paragraphs:
Mr. Roosevelt, president of the
United States, baa declared himself
tne negro’s friend. That is a very
noble declaration. The negro has a
hard place to fill in thia world. Bis
e luoatiOD began many thousands of
wars later than that of the race
with which he competes. He is in
a very weak minority—not only in
numbers, but in equipment, he
suffers the disadvantage of having
filled a place of confessed and help
less inferiority. His present so-call
ed equality is the result of commer
cial war and territorial rivalry—not
of human justice fully developed.
Theres ore he who, sincerely and
disinterestedly, befriends the negro
is a real man, unselfish and humane
Mr. Roosevelt acts —when he does
act—aggressively and noisily. He
has declared himself the negro’s
friend and protector. He declares
that negroes must and shall have
their share of offices (in the South
where the objection to negro equal
ity is strongest). The president’s
attitude is noisy and aggressive as
usual. Ha appointed as postmis
tress in the South a certain colored
■lady. She was m every way res
pectable, and worthy. But the peo
ple objected »nd made their objec
tion apparent. The lady—with a
tact which Mr. Roosevelt iierhaps
does not quite understand—refused
to oppose her interests to the wishes
of an entire community and aban
doned her post. Thereupon the
president abih-hed the poatoffice
absolutely. He said to the object
ing whites, “You decline to accept
my appointee. You set your ridic
ulous prejudices against my will.
You shall have no pos’offioe.” That
community actually has no postof
flce and the business and social life
of the place suffers in const quenoe-
That seems a little like Rueda, »n
a little-unlike America—but th it is
not the point
In another 8 juthern community,
of large business interests, the pres
ident has appointed a negro as col
lector, a place most important to
all the me cantile interests. He
has put a colored man in a place
which compels all the white mer
chants to meet that colored man on
terms of absolute equality. That
seems a very fine and democratic
thing—superfl nally. But let us
look at the matter from various
sides.
We must be guided in practical
life by practical conditions. We
must pay attention to what actually
exists.
Mr. Roosevelt says in substance :
“The law declares the negro the
equal of any other man. I insist
that he shall be every man’s equal.
I refuse to recognize any distinction
of race or color.”
If that were true, it would be fa
natic, but interesting and honor-ible
—however impracticab'e. But is it
true?
Suppose that a female member of
Mr Roosevelt’s family became, en
gaged to marry a negro. Would
Mr. Roosevelt remember his views
in regard to absolute equality?
Would he apply to a case near to
himself the fine generalities which
he applies to white men in t he South ?
No, he would not. Every min
jcnows that, right or wrong, there
does exist a rt>ot prejudice in this
country.
Everybody knows that Ar. Roose
velt would absolutely forbid a mar
riage engagement between a negro
and a member of his own family.
He would not for one second hesi
tate to admit that his objection to
the match was based upon race prej
udice. Y T ou might remind him of
human rights. You might praise
the negro fiance, you might even
prove that negro to bo the moral
equal of Abraham Lincoln, and in
finitely superior, mentally, to Mr.
Roosevelt. Yet Mr. Roosevelt would
say : “1 forbid the match because
he i’ a black man.”
Does any friend of Mr. Roosevelt
doubt this statement?
If the statement cannot be denied
—and it cannot—will it be said that
Mr. Roosevelt is sincere in his atti
tude toward the negro question in
the South, in his refusal to recog
nize race prejudice?
Perhaps vou will say: “If there
does exist a prejudice against the
negro, all honor to him who begins
the task of wiping it out ” But Mr.
Roosevelt’s attitude does not prom-
ise to wipe out race prejudice. It
; promises—if it prom<«oa anything—
’to wipe out » certain number'cf
negroe*. Mr. Roosevelt ia deliber
ately accentuating prejudice against
the negroes in the South. And he
knows It. And the intelligent ne
groes know it.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the whites are going to rule
the South. There was not the
slightest doubt that the first white
men wholandsd here—a mere hand
ful—were going to rule here, de
spite any efforts of the Indians. The
negroes can get decent treatment
only by the development of good
feeling. If there shall occur now,
in the South, a series of outbreaks
against negro arrogance, Mr. Roose
velt will be responsible.
ENGLAND FIGHTING!DRUNKEN
NESS-
A London dispatch says that for
the first time in the history of Rag
land is is making an earnest effort
to prevent and restrain drunken
ness, which many distinguished
Englishmen declare the curse of the
country.
A new liquor law became effec
tive on New Year’s day. Its rad
ical and comprehensive provisions
are arousing interest and comment
Id all circles ot society, from the
highest to the lowest, because the
law affects all the fashionable clubs
of Pall Mall, as well as the dirtiest
“pub" in Whitechapel.
Until this act was pi ed mere
drunkenness had not been a crime.
This act declares it to be such.
Drunkenness among women in
England has increased alarmingly
during the last two decides. The
new law, for the first time, enables
a husband to obtain legil separa
tion from a habitual drunken wife,
and a wife from a drunken hus
band.
The following curious facts con
cerning the longevity of persons re
siding in the United States are
revealed by the last census report:
There are now living in the United
States 3,435 persons more than 100
years old, fifteen over 130 years old.
and one who hats passed the 150
year mark. The 150 year old man
is a Georgia negro, and the next
oldest, witharecord cf 145 years,
is a Texas negro. The oldest living
American white man is 120 years
old.
An exchange thinks President
Roosevelt is a success as a promoter
of sectionalism. On the contrary,
he has done more than anybody
else to show that the North and
South stand together on the race
problem. We deny that Teddy is a
success at anything. He is a punc
tured sham, that deceived many
people for a while, and that is all.

IS JUSTICE MISCARRIED
IN SPALDING COUNTY ?
Judge Reagan Strongly Intimates as Much From the
Bench Thursday.
“The trial of these misdemeanor
oases in this court has become »
farce in this county, and 1 will re
mand them all .to the city court for
trial. All that a blind tiger dealer
has to do, when brought into this
court, is to get a doctor's cert float?,
or hia witnesses out of the way, and
secure a postponement, and then,
bit ore next term, commit another
offense and .get a conviction and a
small fine in the city court and thus
cover up hia transactions for two
years.”
Such was the language of Judge
Reagan from the superior court
bench Thursday morning, after
calling up a number of cases and
finding it impossible to dispose of
them. His special reference was to
the case of Bud Berry, whose leg
has away of getting swelled up so
during court term that he cau not
attend If Judge Reagan had pre
pared to put a larger limit on him
than the “small fine” of S4OO
recently imposed by Judge Ham
mond, it would have pulled his
other leg so that he never could
have walked again.
The whole of the morning session
was devoted to the trial of the case
of John Watson, a young white
ma a accused of stealing forty-five
cents worth of Christmas presents
from the McClure Store. The jury
Drought in a verdict of acquittal
shortly after court reconvened in
the afternoon.
The jury in the John Ellis homi
cide case was unable to agree, after
being out from dark Wednesday
evening, so a mistrial was ordered
and court adjourned.
Previous to adjournment the fol
lowing jurors were chosen to serve
for the August term :

BUD BLALOCK WILL BE-
OUR NEXT STATE SENATOR.
The Gentleman From Fayette Announces That He
Will be a Candidate for Speaker of Senate.
Hon. A. O. Blalock is distinctly
and distinctively “the gentleman
from Fayette." He exerts a con
trolling influence in its affairs upon
almost all occasions, political end
otherwise. He goes to the legisla
ture when he wants to, and when it
is his county’s turn to have the
senatorship from this district, com
posed of Butts, Fayette and Spald
ing, there is no talk of opposition
when he expresses the intention to
take it. In other counties candi
dates have to fight for it, but it is
not that way in Fayette.
It is Fayettp’s turn next year, and
“Bud” having announced that he
will accept the office, it may be put
down as a certainty that our next
senator will be named Blalock. But
he has also announced that he will
be a candidate for the presidency of
Something That Will Do You Good.
We know of no way in which we

that will be of real good to them.
For this reason we want to acquaint
them with what we consider one cf
the very best remedies on the mar
ket for coughs, colds, and that
alarming complaint, croup. We
refer to Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. We have used it with such
good results in our family so long
that it has become a household ne
cessity. By its prompt use we
havan’t any doubt but that it has
time and again prevented croup
The testimony is given upon our
own experience, and we suggest that
our readers, especially those who
have small children, always keep it
in their homes as a safeguard
against croup —Camden (S. C )

that body, and here his pre-eminen
cy will not be so undisputed. The
entrance of Mr. Blalock in the race
makes this contest a three cornered
fight, as some time ago Hon W. S
West, of Lowndes, and Hon. Walter
Steed, of Taylor, both members of
the present house, announced that
they wore also candidates for the
senate in their respective districts
and would be candidates for the
presidency cf that body. All of
these candidateshave served several
terms in the legislature and all of
them are rqually strong in their
respective sections of the State.
The contest promises to be an inter
esting one.
His many friends throughout the
district, outside of the Twenty-
Sixth district pride, which is natur
ally strong, will wish Bud luck, and
are sure that he has nerve enough
to put up a good fight against all
comers.

Indigestion Is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don’t over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach’s aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dietingunneces

which some people suffer after meals.
