NEGROES PLEAD FOB ORDER
Minister Adopt Resolations Urg
ing the Good Negroes to
Prevent Grime.
Tho resolutions adopted by the
ministers of the African Metho
dist Episcopal church in Newnan
recently has resulted a great
deal of comment very favorably to
their action and many declare the
sentiment embodied in the reso.u
tions, which follow, will bring
about the solutions of the prob
lem :
‘We condone no crime, neither
do we wish to shield criminals
from any crime for which they
deserve punishment.
“We have no toleration for
criminals who commit crime and
are heaping disgrace upon our
race.
“We denounce in the very
strongest terms those creatures of
our race who are so depraved in
th-ir nature and become so reck
less «s to invade the sanctity of
the home and destroy the priceless
virtue of woman.
“We believe the gospel of the
Son of God and the teaching of'
the sacred scriptures by his ser
vants will do more to check law
lessness and crime than all other
agencies; therefore, be it
“Resolved, That we increase our
efforts, organize our forces and put
in motion all the machinery of our
facilities of mind and heart to
bring under subjection every wick
ed and evil influence, that the
white winged days of peace may
hover over us.
“Be it further resolved, That we
give more attention to the training
of the young in the school, in the
home, as well as in the church, and
that we teach more on the line of
industrial and moral training of
our people.
“Be it further resolved, That we
call upon our ministry and teach
ers to lay aside our petty jealousies
of church and race and let us link
our efforts with those of the white
race to bold up the majesty cf the
law, to increase industry and com
merce of the country, that peace
and prosperity may abound in its
borders.
“Rev. H. H. Holloway, Pres.
“Rev. John Harmon, Sec.
WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYS.
Governor Candler is greatly
pleased at the action of the negro
ministers and he said:
“The man who wrote those dec
larations and resolutions is a broad
man and grasps the situation as it
is, and has a proper conception of
the true remedy for the fearful
crimes which have saddened the
hearts of all good men in the re
cent past.
“The preachers who adopted
them are entitled to and will re
ceive the hearty sympathy and
support of all good men and all
lovers of law and order in both
races. Let the colored ministers
all over the state take this high
ground and stick to it, and they
will do more to stamp out rape
and arson and lynch law than all
the judges and juries in the state,
and all the fanatics and fools
north of Mason and Dixon’s line
who howl about the barbarity of
the south and add fuel to the fire
by their incendiary advice.
“What we need and must have
to prevent crime and lynch law is
not a color line separating the
white from the colored but a well
defined line separating the good
from the bad and a healthy public
sentiment which" will force every
man to stand on one side of the
line or the other.
“All good colored men must sep
arate themselves from the bad, and
aid the law in punishing crime
whether it be committed by a
black man or a white man. These
colored preachers and all others
who will allign themselves with
them have my hearty God speed
in the advance ground they have
taken, and they will be sustained
by every good man in Georgia.”

Good Roads.
Mecklenburg county, North Car
olina, is recognized as the most
prosp-ous and progressive cunty
in North Carolina.
It has won this fair fame no-re
by its enterprise in building and
man tain i ng good roads.
The county has adopted the plan
which we pursued when we con
structed the beautiful chert mad
from West End to College Park,
namely, to build the best roads
while yon are building.
Reaching out from Charlotte in
many directions are many firm
and clean roads, good in all weath
ers and easy kept in repair.
The business of the city has been
increased immensely by these
roads and the value of farm lands
for many miles around has in
creased 30 to 100 per cent.
Mecklenburg county shows that
she appreciates the value of good
mads by protecting them. ? fttr
she has built a road sh« prob cts it
sacredly.
She never permits a street car
company or anybody else to cut
one and thereby insure its speedy
destruction. —Atlanta Journal.
Reflections of a Bachelor.
Half the time a woman judges a
man’s morals by the way he parts
his hair and knots his tie.
A woman payscomplimeiits with
the same sincerely she pretends to
spank the baby when she doesn’t.
A mm couldn’t get any fun out
of doing wrong if be didn’t know
it; knowing it spoils a woman’s
enjoyment of doing wrong.
When satan wants to entrap a
man he will pick out most any wo
man that is handy to do it; when
it is a woman, he attends to her
himself.
When a woman learns that her
name has been mentioned scand
alously with a man’s she is furi
ous with everybody but him and
she respects him.
Freezing weather in July
Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately it is seldom
known. A vast amount of misery
is caused at this season, however,
by impoverished blood, poor appe
tite and generaly debility. These
conditions may be remedied by
enriching the blood and toning the
stomach with Hood’s Sarsaprilla.
This medicine seems to put new
life into the whole physical system,
simply because of its wonderful
power to purify, enrich and vital
ize the blood, create an appetite
and invigorate the digestive funct
ions. We advise you to get a bot
tle and try it i f you are not feel
ing just right, It will do you more
good than a six weeks vacatio n
It is the best medicine money can
buy.
‘•The bloomer dress.” says a hu
morist, “is a pair of pants baggy at
knees, abnormally full at the pistol
pockets, and considerably full
where you strike a match. The
garment is cut decollette at the
south end, and the bottoms are
tied around the ankles or knees to
keep the mice out. You can’t put
it over your head like you do your
shirt, nor around you like’s corset,
but you must sit on the floor and
pull it on just as you do your

BETTER PRICE FOR COTTON.
The New Roundlay Bale Worth
$2 00 More to the Mill,
Mr.T. W. Pratt, President of ths
West JTunt*vill,e Cotton Mill,
Huntsville, Ahibama, wh» is
known as one of the most progress
ive tusines men of Alabama, in
addition to his extensive cotton
manufacturering interests is run
ning what is said to be one of the
largest cotton ginning plants in the
world. Mr. Pratt has made a thor
ough investigation of the Round
lap bale in his mill, and recently
published a letter, in which he said
that cotton in this form was worth
$2.00 a bale more to his mill than
square-bale cotton. Recently he
telegraphed as follows:
“After two years experience with
the Roundlap bale of the Ameri
can Cotton Company as a manu
facturer, I can positively state
that my experience is that it can
be sampled equally as well as the
square bale; that it saves 8% in
waste; that unwinds to the core
perfectly, and saves much labor in
the opening-room. Mixed or false
packed bales are never found. For
the planter,'ginner and manufact
urer it is the greatest invention of
the age.”
A Wife’s Duty,
Girls who marry with the fool
ish idea that it is their husband’s
duty to support them in comprra
tive idleness are making a serious
mistake, It is a wife’s duty to
work and build up a home by pru
dence and in dustry in home man
agement, as much as it is her hus
bands to work outside and provide
money. It is only a person of great
wealth who can afford to hire a re
fined person to take her place as
housekeeper. Only a comparative
ly lazy woman can resign her place
as housekeeper to any ordinary
maid servant, and her family must
suffer because of it. The loss of the
mother as the power at the holm
is one of the greatest evils that
can befall a family. An energetic
woman will let no other cause but
physical capacity keep her from
attending to her highest duties—
those upon which the comfort and
health of her family depended.

The Kissing Bugs.
That there is “something new
under the sun” is just proven by
the discovery by New York’s alert
newspaper men of the kissing bug.
The insect is a rather insignificant
msmber of the bug family, but it
appears to be almost as full of
venom as a cobra, and quite a
number of cases has been treated
by physicians of New York, some
of the more serious ones being sent
to the hospital.
The peculiarity about this new
pest, aside from its poison, is that
it prefers to bite people on the
lips, from which its popular name
springs, and these bites in several
instances have proven quite seri
ous to the victims, producing not
only the symptons of stings and
bites of other obnoxious insects,
but in some cases serious blood
poisoning has followed, though we
believe no fatalities have been re
corded.
So far in New York, Philadel
phia and .Washington only sleep
ing people have been the victims-
The pecularity of the insects bite
on the lips of its victims in these
cities have been repeated in other
places. As a consequence dealers
in nets, window serenes, canopies,
etc., have done a good business. If
the bite, kiss (?) or sting is treated
in time with a lotion of amonia,
followed by hazel or laudanum
with sugar or lead, the doctors say
it will not give serious trouble.
