If it is right for a negro to dis place a mechanic, a laborer nr any other white working man by what rule of ethics does he figure it out that it is not right for the negro to hold an office? iu ins office than it is fora “coon to take his place iu aud about the residences of white “folks” is oue of those fellows who is trying to fool themselves. 1 Suy: what is the use of talking about “clean” elections and then Say Mr. Working Man don t f or the candidates to ap- you know that as a rule the mau! proach youaud aak yott t0Bupp0rt you want to see get the office iu place of the negro would give the negro the preference if you aud the uegro should apply to him for a “job,” provided he could Bave a few d:mes by so doing? If you muBt howl, and fear yon will burst if you don’t, why don’t you howl for yourself? Perhaps you consider that the office honors the man, raises him above the common herd instead of the man honoring the office? Perhaps you think that because you use your hands (hands trained and skilled by years of patient toil) that you are not as good as the man who uses his brain less than yuu do and his hands ajaroe- ly at ail. Perhaps you have imbibed the fool" idea thut mechanical work is not • brain work” and not worth more that the hire of mnle. The mail who “fools” a fool is the greater fool of the two, but the man who fools himself is a gold medal fool. Another Little Boy, them before you decide who to vote for, dt. n’t you thiuk that the voter who is “clean” politically knows who to vote for and will do it without persuasion? The man who goes to the polls and votes for a candidate simply because he is his friend or because he owes him a debt of gratitude or because he has been coaxed into doiug so is not as good a patriot as Benedict Arnold was. If all the antedeluvian laws of the country are to remain on our statute books why are they not euforced with equity aud justice or are they only intended for the goverment of the unfortunate?

The man who, on Sunday take a front pew in the church and tries to look good, and goes out Monday to cheat, deceive, and rob his fellow-man, will meet his just reward later—and deserves it. The young man or woman, who spend their precious moments in thinking and planning ouly of how to ornament the body, in stead of improving the mind or conscience, are making a mistake for which they can never atone. Friend, stop and shake hands with your neighbor and ask after his health. It takes only a min ute and both you and he will feel better from it all day. Try it. Young woman. Do you ever thiuk of how little yon are doing to help your old mother, or father bear their burdens? If uot begin now. Some day, they will be called away and theu your eon- •oience will lash you, aud remorse I will crush you for your past nog- i loot. 1 Father. You have a son, a i bright innocent boy now. You neglect his moral training. You ! are too buay to attend to this. Some day you will have his sins aud short comings tearing at your heartstrings. Your neglect will be his down-fall. 1 Friends. Be diligent, honest, oonrapeout. Tell no lies. Speak no evil. Help the needy who are worthy. Encourage those who falter. Smile sweetly upon those who look sad aud dowu-oast. A gentle word fitly spoken may change for the better a life’e ca reer. ’ FALL ^ANNOUNCEMENT. Our Fall and Winter Stock is now ready for your inspection.
