At a meeting of the Congrega tional Club held in Boston Mon day night, ex-Gov. Northern spoke on the southern negro question. - An editor was giving a friend a good “send oft, and called him “irrepressible.” The printer set it “irresponsible,” and the editor had to go fishing the next day.

Beats cotton all V V There is a general superstition that Friday is an unlucky day, we don’t believe it. In fact, ivro luckiest things that to us, occurred on were born on that day, that is also the day ou which wBjre married.

Children are born and grow ui* in the prisons, and know no other home. Some of the states mak-f a regular thing of orpedrng people, just as in the old slavery days. This is especially the case in Georgia, Florida and Texas,” A Strange Coincidence. Friday’s issue of the New York World contained notices of two deaths which occurred Wednesday, one of John Wilmot, 81 years of age, who died at his residence in New York city, the other of Samuel Wilmot, 77 years of ago, who died at his home in Newcastle. Canada. The two men were brothers, and both died of the same disease at the same hour of the same day, after having “ been taken ill on tire same day. , It is . related, . , , further, , that the twe specialists w ho treat ed them, although widely sepa rated, u?ed precisely the same treatment. As John Wilmot’s son left the house Wednesday to telegraph to the family in Canada, a telegraph messenger came up the steps bear ing the news of the death of the other Wilmot in Canada. A strange coincidence! Whuf Differences of Opinion! Since Andrew Carnagie, t h e multi-millionaire, gave utterance to the declaration that, “he who dies rich dies disgraced,” he has been the recipient of vast amounts of free advertising. The poor peo- pie and the papers have run wild over him because that is a senti ment which by inference would seem to give us glory—transpose it and it ready, “he who dies poor, dies honored!” This inference is what makes it so “taking” with the vast majority of us. To put himself in position to avoid the penalty he pronounces upon those who dies rich (that of “disgrace”), Mr. Carnagie expects at some future date to dispose of Ins $200,000,000 to worthy causes, and it is said that a great many of his admirers are offering as sacri¬ fices for him to unload part of his wealth upon—the more of it, the .better. But the old gentleman is not ready to go into the disburse¬ ment business in dead earnest yet, and has given notice that none others need apply. Remembering that he has such a pile of wealth, we would suggest to Mr. Carnagie that if he really does intend to give away all of it (which he prob ably will not do) he had better shuck his coat and proceed to business. On this question it is said that there are a great many rich men who desire to take issue with Mr. Carnagie as to the disgrace of dying rich. Mr. Russell Sage is one of these dissenters. He doesn’t think it is to the struggling mans interest for men of large affairs to retire from business. He con tinues in business himself, not to make more money but to protect that which he has already made, which he regards as a duty he owes to the world; and in keeping together that property he contends that he protects the public wel tare as well as sets a valuable ex ample for the struggling young men of teday! Great philanthro¬ pist, Mr. Sage! Walk up to-the head of your class—-no one else would have thought of anything so noble. About three years ago there was a story floating around to the effect that Philanthropist Sage (referred to above) had loaned a brother’s son $300 and took a mortgage on his , . little farm to secure the debt; and after a few years of hard work the young man died, whereupon old man Russell took the farm and turned the widow and three small children out upon the cold charities of the world! This picture at tbe time was thought to be overdrawn, but it is about iu keeping with Mr. Sage’s recent utterances—it is about the philanthropy he believes in. After comparing Mr. Carnagie and Mr. Sage, one is emstrained to remark, “What differences ot opinion!” To Locate Boundary Line. - “On next Tuesday the boundary line between Charlton and Wayne “"."b' 8 “j 11 be rul ' lo ' atpd - Jable“controversy“he- , tween*the two counties, and every body is anxious to see the matter settled. Should Charlton succeed where in . hav they . in * claim the lln8 it should . est i rtb [ be, lshec it J wil , be considerably larger than what it now is, and will gain some .influential citizens.” — Charlton County Herald. This reminds one of the old woman who lived in one of the unhealthy counties along the coast and members of her family were sick nearly all the time. Eventu ally a new county was created and she was included in the limits, whereat she thanked God that she and her family had “at last got 011 1 of that sickly old county which was never fit for people to j ive in> anyway /> ___ , Lake City Wants Postmaster. - Since tiie assassination of the negro postmaster, Baker, at Lake City, S. C., over a year ago, the town has been without a postmas ter. Reoeated appeals have been made by the people of the town, for the reopening of the office, but the department has persistently refused to do so until some of the participants in the Baker lynching should haze been punished, The nearest postoffice to Lake City is over three miles away, and the people have to send that dis tance for their mail. It is a great inconvenience to the business 111 - terests of the town, as the people are not even allowed to mail let¬ ters on mail trains, the boxes being kept closed by older of the depaitmeut while passing that place. The people have endured this hardship as long as seems to be reasonable, and are again mak¬ ing an effort to secure the re-es tablishment of the office. Repre¬ sentative Norton, of that state, held an interview with the presi¬ dent this week when the matter was thoroughly gone over. The president was apparently strongly impressed by the plea made, and promised to give the matter his attention. One of the difficulties in setting this troublesome case is the selection cf a new postmaster. It appears thas there are no white republicans in Lake City, and it is not deemed advisable to appoint another colored postmaster there. It has been suggested that the problem might be solved by the appointment of a white conserva¬ tive democrat, Rev. Dr. Curtin, a white Methodist preacher. At the suggestion of friends, Dr. Curtin has filed an applicant for the ap¬ pointment. It remains to be seen whether the administration is willing to treat the subject from a non-partisan standpoint and thus pu„ an end to the Lake City con¬ tention. M hen it comes to keeping up an everlasting little stink, the Cu¬ ban “patriots” are the boys to do it. Now they are refusing to come up and receive the $75 from Un cle Sam because he demands that the y lay down their arms before the money is paid over ’that is all right, though; if they would rather keep their old rifles than to take the $75, why not let them do it?
