The Big “I” in English.
Did it ever occur to you that it
might sedtn very egotistical for you to
write of yourself with a capital “I”
instead of using the small and less ob
trusive one? The English use of the
capital “I” is one of the oddest features
of the language—to a foreigner. If a
Frenchman writes referring to himself
he makes “je” (the French equivalent
of “I”) with a small “j.” So with the
German, who may use capitals to be
gin every noun; he always uses the
small “i” in writing “ich.” The
Spaniard avoids, as far as practicable,
the nse of the personal pronoun when
writing in the first person, but he al
ways writes it “yo,” taking pains,
however, to begin the Spanish equiva
lent of our “you” with a capital. In
English it is surely big “I” and little
“you,” as the old saying has it.
Howiizers.
Howitzers are steel breeeh-loading
weapons, weighing twenty-five hun
dredweight and having a length of six
feet ten inches. In loading a howitzer
the gun is swung horizontally on the
carriage, but for the firing position
the muzzle is pointed high in the air,
thus giving to the shell a long, curved
course. Four kinds of projectiles can
be used in a howitzer.

THE RACE PROBLEM
As Sat Forth By Prominent North
Carolina Educator.
“GREAT STRUGGLE YET TO COME.”
Sub-Committee of National Industrial
Committee Hear Two Witnesses
at Charlotte.
Two prominent witnesses appeared
before the sub-committee of the Nat
ional Industrial commission at Char
lotte, N. C., and gave interesting tes
timony.
State Labor Commissioner Lacy tes
tified regarding labor conditions in the
state, while Dr. George T. Winston,
president of the North Carolina Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic arts,
and one of the foremost educators of
the south, gave interesting facts con
cerning the race problem in the south,
saying the real race struggle is yet to
come.
Commissioner Lacy testified that
there were about 33,757 employes in
the 215 cotton mills in North Carolina,
divided as follows: Fourteen thousand
six hundred and thirty-eight men; 15,-
811 women; 1,679gir1s and 1,629 boys.
His opinion was that 17 or 18 per
cent of the adults could not read, and
about 30 per cent of the children are
illiterate. As to wages, the labor
commissioner stated that skilled men
were paid from 81 to 82.50, unskilled
60 cents to 81; skilled women 75 cents
to 81-50, unskilled 30 cents to 75
cents; children averaged about 30
cents per day.
Questioned regarding the subject of
compulsory arbitration between em
ployes, the commissioner said that
this was impracticable, because it
would be impossible to force an em
ploye to work against his will on ac
count of the fourteenth amendment to
the United States constitution, and
therefore such a law could not bind
the parties involved. Mr. Lacy said
he favored compulsory education.
President Winston informed the
committee that the greatest need of
the south was (1) a universal educa
tion, compulsory if necessary; (2) in
dustrial education in the public schools
and continued in technical colleges.
He considers education a national as
well as a state duty, and favors a na
tional university at Washington.
In regard to the Negro Dr. Winston
said that the real race conflict in the
south is not political nor social, but
industrial.
The most pitiful and in some places
the most cruel chapter in American
history was the attempt to set up the
emancipated negro slave as the politi
cal antagonist of his Anglo-Saxon mas
ter. This attempt had almost entirely
alienated the two races in the south.
The greatest blessing that could fall
to the negro’s lot now would be the
restoration of the old-time kindly re
lations with the white people. These
relations can be restored by the com
plete elimination of the race from
southern politics.
“The real race struggle,” said Dr.
Winston, “has not begun yet. It will
come with bitter intensity when the
southern white laborer is arrayed
against the southern negro laborer in
a struggle for employment; when the
white mill operatives who strike for
higher wages are replaced by negroes.
We shall then see in the south what
recently occurred in Pana, 111., but
with more intensity. Unless the ne
gro speedily abandons his political
and social equality dreams and devotes
himself to industrial training and man
ual labor, his fate is sealed. There is
now a place for him in southern in
dustrial life, and unless he fills that
place speedily, there will be no place
f or him, except as the veriest drudge. ”
Dr. Winston said Booker I. Wash
ington shows a fine appreciation of
the real needs of the negro in the
south. Such schools as his should be
established in every part of the south,
and should be aided by the national
government.
As to political rights, President
Winston said the negro will be treat
ed in the south for many years pretty
much as the Chinaman is treated in
California; the Indian in the north
west; the Hawaiian in Hawaii; the
Filipinos in the Philippines; the
Porto Ricans in Porto Rico; the Alas
kans in Alaska, and other citizens of
less fashionable color in various sec
tions of our possessions.

/ Could
Hardly
Breathe
“I had a terrible cold and
could hardly breathe. I then
tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
and it gave me immediate relief.
I don’t believe there is a cough
remedy in the vorld anywhere
near as good.”—W. C. Layton,
Sidell, 111., May 19,1899.
Cures
Night Colds
How will your cough be
tonight ? Worse, probably.
For it’s first a cold, then a cough,
then bronchitis or pneumonia,
and at last consumption. Coughs
always tend downward. It’s
first the throat and then the
lungs. They don’t naturally
tend to get well. You have
to help Nature a little.
You can stop this downward
tendency any time by taking
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Thea
take it tonight. You will cough
less and sleep better, and by
tomorrow at this time you will
be greatly improved.
K You can get a small bottle of Ayer’s
■ Cherry Pectoral, now, for 25 cents. For
■ hard coughs, bronchi! is, asthma, and the
■ croup, the 50 cent size is better. For
■ chronic cases, as consumption, and to
B keep on hand, the SI.OO size is most
B economical.
Money In Lullabies.
A new Industry Is that of lullaby
singing. Young women who are study
ing vocal music very often turn their
growing talent to small account,' at
least, by goliig to nurseries two or
three tljnes akweek to sing to the chil
dren at bedtime hour soft, crooning
lullabies. It i| in households, of course,
where the mother has no singing voice,
and who believes In the influence of
sweet and cdrrect singing on the de
veloping ear of the child. This may
seem the exaggeration of detail, but
in these days it Is the trifles that are
considered In their bearing upon the
large results.
New York and Chicago.
“Some day,” we ventured to pre

“Do you really suppose Chicago
will ever get to be ?o quiet as that?”

concern.

From New York Town Topics.]
A society has been formed at Mont
gomery, Ala., with Colonel Francis
G-. Cassey as chairman, that deserves
the cordial commendation and support
of all sections of the country. It pro
poses to hold annual conferences to
discuss the race problems of the south,
such as the franchise, the education
of the negro, religious work and so
cial order and equality. The society
has no theories; its directors are di
vided in opinion upon most of the
problems; it invites the fullest and
freest discussion in order to get at
the truth. lam glad to know that my
life-long contention, that the southern
people are best fitted by knowledge
and experience to deal with their own
difficulties, is now conceded. North
ern interference, even with the best
motives, can accomplish nothing,
because of ignorance of the real
conditions. The south must work
out its own salvation, and I believe
that its people are intelligent and con
scientious enough to do it grandly.
