Washington Letter.
Southern men in Washington
regret that W. E. B. DuBois, the
negro professor of Atlanta, saw
fit in his recent address in New
York to use language calculated
to justify mixed marriages and
to encourage those of his race
who advocate social equality. Ac¬
cording to Processor DuBois a
mixture of negro blood with whi e
has been responsible for the ge¬
nius of many of the great men of
history. He instanced such well
known mixed bloods as Alexan¬
der Dumas, Toussaint I’Cuver'
ture, Ira Aldridg and Fred Doug¬
lass and then claimed mixed
blood for three men who are not
generally credited with having
had negro blood--Robert Brown¬
ing, Alexander Hamilton and
Lew Wallace.
President W. W. Finley’s plain
talk to the representatives of the
freight and passenger depart¬
ments of the Southern Railway at
Atlanta, on B'ebruary 13, is of in
terest to the general public as
well as to the men to whom it was
delivered, There is a widely pre¬
valent opinion that railroad offi¬
cials seldom consider the inter¬
ests of the people along their
lines. It is significant, therefore,
to find Mr. Finley telling his sub¬
ordinates that they have duties
to the public as well as to the
railway and that “he serves the
railway best who serves the pub¬
lic best.”
This was the keynote of Mr.
Finley’s address in which he
dwelt upon the identity of inter¬
ests of the railway and the pub¬
lic. He looks forward to the
building up of the Southern Rail¬
way through the building up of
the communities along its lines,
and, after speaking in detail of
the peculiar duties of the men of
the freight and passenger depart¬
ments to the public, he said:
“As representatives of the
Southern Railway Company you
should bear in mind at all times
the basis fact that the interests
of the railway and of those served
by it are indentical and that they
are inseparably interwoven. The
railway can prosper only as a re¬
sult of the prosperity of commu¬
nities by which the demand for
transportation is increased, and
the prosperity of the South can
continue and be brought to the
highest possible level only
through adequate and efficient
transportation facilities. At the
present time, when every effort
is b$ing made to supply addition¬
al facilities and more efficient
services, nothing is more impor¬
tant than that the truth of this
proposition should be realized by
men in all lines of business.
When once this identity of inter¬
ests is thoroughly understood the
railroads of the South and the
people will be brought together
in more harmonious co-operation
for the development of the natural
resources of the South and for the
expansion of all lines of industry.
The men in the freight and pas¬
senger departments are in a po¬
sition to do much to bring about
this mutual good understanding
and this harmonious co-opera¬
tion for the upbuilding of the ter¬
ritory traversed by lines of the
company. Your careful atten¬
tion to the wants of the people
and your considerate treatment
of everyone having business with
the road will serve as a constant
object lesson of its interest in the
individuals and communities
along its lines. My personal ex¬
perience convinces me that the
people as a rule are fair-minded
and when fully informed can be
upon to deal justly with
transportation interests.”
Another point in Mr. Finley’s
address that deserves special
mention is his insistence that the
laws must be strictly observed.
He said:
“Of even more importance than
a careful observation of duties
prescribed by the company is
obedience to law. Many of the
relations between the railways
and the public are now regulated
by Federal and Stare statutes,
and every official and employee
of the Southern Railway Com¬
pany must understand that its
business affairs are to be con¬
ducted at all times in strict ac¬
cordance with the laws of the
land. No transportation or prac¬
tice that is forbidden by the laws
can be permitted, and as I am
sure you all understand, there
must be no resort to evasion of
any kind.”
Saved Her Son’s Life.
The happiest mother in the lit¬
tle town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S.
Ruppee. She writes: “One year
ago my son was down with such
serious lung trouble that our phy
sician was unable to help him;
when, by oilr druggist’s advice I
began giving him Dr. King’s New
Discovery, and I soon noticed im¬
provement. I kept this treatment
up for a few weeks when he was
perfectly well. He has worked
steadily since at carpenter work.
Dr. King’s New Discovery saved
his life.” Guaranteed best cough

The United States Department
of Agriculture has issued a bul¬
letin showing what a corn and
hog specialist has done on his
eighty-acre farm. Briefly his
income was $2,426 from hogs and
$819 from seed corn, the former
at $6 per cwt, and the latter at
$1.82 per bushel. His outlay for
feed and hired labor was $961,
leaving him $2, 284 for interest,
insurance, depreciation of equip
ment, hi3 own and his family’s
wages. A very good showing,
but of course one that could be
made only in a year of high
prices for hogs and corn. Com
menting on this report another
writer figures that this special¬
ist’s total expenses, including in¬
terest, insurance, depreciation,
wages of family (hut omitting
taxes) would be $1,931, leaving a
balance of $1,314.—American

Worked Like A Charm.
Mr. D. N. Walker, editor of
that spicy journal, the Enter¬
prise, Louisa, Va., says: “I ran
a nail in my foot last week and at
once applied Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve. No inflammation follow¬
ed; the salve simply healed the
wound,” Heals every sore, burn
and skin disease. Guaranteed at

What is the difference between
a newspapers and a bank?
There are several differences, to
be sure. But the one we wish to
call special attention to is this:
The bank uses other people’s
money without cost, and on the
other hand charges interest on
all the money it lets out, and on
good security, at that; the news¬
paper lets its subscribers operate
on the money it takes to get out
the paper, and at the end of the
year they pay the principal of
their accounts, if they choose,
but never a cent of intesest. Do
you wonder that banks make
money and newspapers remain
poor.—The Roanoke Leader.
Found At Last.
J. A. Harmon, of Lizemore,
West Fla., says: “At last I have
found the perfect pill that never
disappoints me: and for the bene¬
fit of others afflicted with torpid
Jiver and chronic constipation, will
say: Pills.” take Dr. King’s New Life

Landlord and Cropper.
When landlord agrees to fur¬
nish the land, stock, tools, and
supplies to make a crop, and an¬
other person agrees to do the
work and receive a part of the
crop for his services, the relation
of landlord and cropper is created.
This relation is an anomaly in
the law. The cropper is not a
tenant neither is he a partner or
agent of the land owner.
The title to the entire crop is
in the land owner until his part
of the crop has been deliverel to
him and all supplies have been
paid for. The land owner is not
liable on the contracts of the
cropper, nor for his misconduct.
If the land owner wrongfully
withhold from the cropper his
share of the crop, the cropper
may bring suit for the same, or
forclose a laborer’s lien, h.'s share
of the crop being treated as in
the nature of wages.
A cropper who sells any part
of the crop before the landlord is
fully paid and without his con¬
sent is guilty of a crime and a
landlord who, after demand, fails
to deliver to the cropper his share
is subject to indictment.
It is a crime to employ the
cropper of another who is under
written contract attested by one
or more witnesses; or to entice
away a cropper whether under
verba! or written contract.—Ro¬
chelle New Era.
How To Remain Young.
To continue young in health
and strength, do as Mrs. N. F.
Rowan, McDonough, Ga., did.
She says: “Three bottles of
Electric Bitters cured me cf
chronic liver and stomach trou¬
ble, complicated with such an un¬
healthy condition of the blood
that my skin turned red as flan¬
nel. I am now practically* 20
years younger than before I took
Electric Bitters. I can now do
all my work with ease and assist
at my husband’s store.” Guar¬
