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 and cold cure by Spence Drug Co. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 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 Farmer. Was he one of our Mitchell county farmers? Worked Like A Charm. Mr. D. N.

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 Guaranteed satisfactory. 25c at Spence Drug Go. 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¬ anteed at Spence Drug Co. Price 50c.
