After spending about two weeks iu Maine he will go to .New Hampshire for a few daws, the miest of a centlemun whom lie had met while the latter was on visits to North Carolina. He looks forward to his outing in New England with great pleasure. There is no doubt that his oratory will at once delight and piolit the people of Maine, lie will talk about educa tion, which, above all others, is the theme lie loves. The new physical director and athletic coach, Dr Willis S Kienholz. of Ualesburg, Illinois, has amved at the A, & M.

The great field of crystalized salt at Saltoii, Cal., in the middle of the Colorado desert, is 204 feet below the level of the sea and is more than a thousand acres in extent.

Those Vets and Belts. Perhaps it would be well enough to explain something in regard to those vests and belts that have been so thoroughly advertised in the col umns of your good paper. At nrst it was thought that the best plan would be to have some of our many preachers to read some to my young friend out of the book of the Law, and we had selected Acts 5th chapter and 3rd verse, as we thought that would be the most suitable verse of all. But as we know our friend so well, it is nothing but right and proper that the good people should know just how it is. The K. of P. lodge at this place gives an entertainment about this timo each year to which are invited the young people in and around Liberty. A number oi my very best friends have been unalle to at tend these entertainments on account of not having suitable vests, etc., to wear; and as Mr Reitzel had quito a good reputation in the Capital City, ana other eastern towns, these young men got Mr Reitzel to borrow for them on the said trip some beautiful vests, belts, etc., so they could attend the Pythian banquet. One young man failed to speak in time to secure an outfit to wear on this occasion and became jealous of the others and wrote that article which has caused so much excitement through out the country. Dear reader if you could have seen that young man who wrote the article critisizing Mr Reitzel as he stepped across the threshold of the banquet hall and as he espied the one dearest to his heart promenading with one of those young men wear ing a "striped vest and belt," you would not be hard on him. Liberty Correspondent..- , . , . ROOSEVELT ROASTED. Senator Joseph W Bailey, of Texas in an address in Brooklyn last week severely arraigned President Roose velt, denouncing in Btrong words the President's policy of reducing South ern representation and his effort to revive sectional bitterness. His speech was well received by the im mense gathering. The speaker said in part: "Not content with having nominat ed a candidate who had taught by his personal cxamplo the pernicious doc trine of social equality between the Anglo buxou and African races, the Im publican party has gone further, and as if bent upon the mischievous design of aggravating antagonism, it bus deliberately proclaimed its inten' tion to reduce the representation of certain states m Uongress and in the electoral college unless the peopl of those States will consent to be rep resented by ignorant and inferior men. Do the men who made and who adopted that platform know thnt if their threat should be carried into execution, the South would not be the only sufferer? Do those men not know that this country is so closely and so firmly knit together that the whole must suffer from every injury inflicted on any part? The millions invested in Southern railroads are practically all, except the foreign holdings, the property of Northern and eastern men. But, there is another and higher staudpoint. This attempt to resnr rect sectional difference is in painfn' contrast with the teachings of that great and kindly man who was elevat ed to tho presidency by an election and not by u tragic accident. As this nation stood with uncovered head around the mui tyred McKinley grave, men of every section blessed his name and memory, because ho hud restored good will between the brothers w ho had been estranged by u civil war. The sorrow over this untimely death was as universal and as genuine in Mississipi as it was in Massachusetts, und yet his successor who promised to follow iu McKin ley's footsteps, has reversed McKin ley s policy, ana is now fomenting liscord where McKinley had brought ns peace. Iho race problem which now con fronts the Southern pooplo will tax their highest wisdom and their most unselfish patriotism in its solution. Except for u single and nameless crime against the women of our land there is no thoughtful man in all the south who does not deprecate lynch law, or who doubts that it must and Will be suppressed. If however, there are among us men who justify the lawless spirit which sometimes expresses itself in a public niching they could not find, in all lie range of English literature a more pointed and complete defence of such conduct than has been fur nished by the Republican candidate for the presidency in his work.'Ranch Life and Hunting Trail,' in which there is the following: 'During the lust two or three years the stockmen have united to put down all these dangerous characters, often by the most bu miliary exercise of lynch law. Hands of horse and cuttle thieves have been regularly hunted down and destroyed in pitched light by parties of armed cowboys, and as consequence, most ot our territory is law-abiding.' "The .President, as if relating a commonplace incident, adds this mild statement: 'A little over two ears ago one committee of vigilantes in Montana shot or bnng nearly 60 not however, with the best judge ment in all cases.' "I rejoice tff know that whatever may have been done and said in the Southern States which thoughtful men cannot endorse, it has never happened among ns that any man with intelligence enough' to wtite a book, or with character enough to command an election to an impor tant otllce, has ever justified lynching as a punishment for theft. "They tell us that the president is honest. They tell us that the Pres ident is brave, and so he is, but he is as rash as he is brave. If we were seeking a soldier, I would prefer the President over almost any other man now in public life, but we are seek ing a statesman, I wonld prefer al most any man who is in public life over the President. He would be one of the best men to lead a des perate charge in a timo of war, but he is one of the worst men to admin ister a grent government in time of peace. I do not nndcrvalne the sol dier whoso Courage or ambition car- icd him to ch.rv or to d?r.th. While such men are nore nseftil un der otb.fr forms of government, they are useful under ours. They are not to useful, however, as tnose other men who have the firmness and self restraint when clothed with the pow er to obey the laws to obey them as they have been written, resolutely refusing to violate' their letter under the old and dangerons pretense of nreaervin? their snirit. At the con clusion of Senator Bailey's address nnmher of short speeches were made by members of the club. The example of the dog iu the fa ble that dropped bone in the water to snatch bigger bone that the other dog had does not appeal forcibly to Senator Fairbanks of Indiana ' .He has accepted the Republican nomina tion for vice president, but has not taken it into his wise head to resign seoatorship.

He was placed in an unused wooden jail, liifl cries for help were thought to be the ravings of bud "licker",when later it was found that his entrance had disturbed a hornets nest that happened to be in the old wooden building. He was not long getting sober and it is not necessary to state that the punishment was suflicient. Brings Suit for $45,000.

If he is nominated this year he'st'iuds an exceedingly good change of being elected. The Republican campaign is begun but the Democratic contest will be postponed till October. Judge Par ker und lua managers want a short sharp fight, to)be begun after the September elections, believing that it would be most fruitful in results. Senator Fuirbank's tenacity in clinging to his oflice after being nominated for Vice president does not show the greatest commence in the result of the November election and it con trusts most forcibly with Judge Parker's resignation of a life position and n high salary, and his pledge never to accept a second term in cuse he should be elected.

For myself I do not even guess, beyond supposing it to be a mode of mani festation or a diiTureiitiuled portion of tho continuous and all pervading ether, it seems to exist in lumps the size of the atoms of matter, and no portion of it less in bulk than an atom has ever been isolated or appears likely to be isolated. But, although it may have bulk, it ap pears us if it had no appreciable mass; the massiveness or inertia of the atom is probably due to some thing else, in fact to the possession of negative charges in equal amount. This part of the doctrine is not yet certain. Moro investigation is urg ently needed into the meaning and properties of positive electricity. Meanwhile wo shall only be follow ing tho lead of Prof essor J. J.Thom son if we assumo that a unit of posi tive electricity has a massiveness (or what is often inaccurately called "weight") cither zero or very small, most probably very small; perhaps about 1 per cent of tho mass of some atoms of matter may be due to the positivo electricity which they contain. But concerning negative elec tricity we know a great deal more. This exists in excessively minute particles, sometimes called electrons and sometimes called corpuscles; these are thrown off the negatively charged terminal in a vacuum tube, and they fly with tremendous speed till they strike something. When they strike they can propel as well os heat tho target, and thoy can likewise make it emit a phosphores cent glow, especially if it be made of glass or precious stones. If the target is a very massive metal like platinum, the sudden stoppage of tho flying electrons which encounter it causes tho production of the etho- rcal pulses known as A rays. Elec trons are not very easy to stop, however, and n fair proportion of them can penetrate not only wood and paper, but sheets of such motals as aluminium and other moderately thm obstacles, that is because they are extremely small, much smaller than tho atoms of matter.
