BOSTON AND THE BAKERS.
The Barlow Minstrels Tonight. ' ' ,'i
!
The Barlow Minstrels arrived
here early this morning 'in their
private car and will play tola
large house tonight. They gave
a parade today at noon. Their.
band numbers fourteen and is
composed of Musicians of merit.
Fun and fine music, . mixed" with
their specialties, will keep the
audience pleased tonight. The
Charlotte Observer speaks, well
of their performance there last
night.
It will be remembered that a
Miss Jewett of the city of Boston
came down to South Carolina
and pre ssed her persuasions till
she got the family of the mur-
go with her to Boston, expect
ing to raise inucii sensation unu
probably more money and
hatred of the South by exhibit
ing Mrs. Baker and her children.
The first exhibition was a howl-
ing success. Mrs. Baker got in
to a Southern darkey, way and
shouted in camp-meeting style.
Miss Jewett, however, . has
found the enterprise devoid of
profits and of glory and has
dropped the Baker family to
shift for themselves in the city
where sentinentalism unaccom
panied with the genuine philan
thropy felt by the Southern
"people has quickly vanished and

Persons looking after the Bak
ers have even called on New
York to relieve them of the bur
den of this one family while all

Teal or apparent cruelty by
Southern whites toward the
race.
But so it goes, there seems no
way for sections to , understand
each other and there are always
sharpers like M iss Jewe tte wants
to be to take advantage of sec
tional misunderstandings and
prejudice to get dimes and glory
out of it.
Big Job for Uncle Sam.
It is said there are 70,000,000
acres of arid lands between the
Missouri river and the Rocky
Mountains that will becomo
tilable ,x and productive when
irrigated. It is another big job
for the government to tackle.
Big Cotton Receipts.
The Star says Wilmington's
cotton receipts last Monday were
5,922 bales, a record breaker.
On the same day last year the
number was 3,490 bales.
Boiler Blows Up.
Rutherfordton, N. C, Sept.
27. The boiler of a saw mill
near town exploded at 12 o'clock
today, fatally scalding Panther
(white,) Smith (white) and Webb
(colored), and seriously injuring
Pool (white, breaking his jaw
bone and injuring his head, also
scalding him. The boiler was
blown three hundred yards,
cutting off trees sixteen inches
through.
The Superintendent of Public
Schools of Indianapolis says that
prosperity does not have the ef
fect of increasing the number of
children in the educational insti
tutions. 'The fact is," he says,
"that prosperity decreases the
number of pupils in the high
schools particularly because
there is work to be had, and boys
from twelve years up turn their
backs on school and take the
jobs offered." Daily Reflector.
Rev. Sam Jones is in a quan
dary. He is wanted in Chatta
nooga, where the grand jury
would like to have him give it
some information, and he is
wanted at Carters ville, his home
town, by a neighbor, who has
a grievance and wants to punch
him some. Sam isn't quite de
cidedwhether he hadn't better
decline both invitations and
climb a tree. The Morning Star.
The wife of Wm. Swartwood,
a railroad engineer in Pennsyl
vania, surprised him on his
arrival at home by presenting
him with her .twenty-fifth child.
In the twenty -five are three pairs
of twins. Twenty-throe are liv
ing. Ex.
One brother fatally shot an
other a few days ago while play
ing with an old pistol The "un
loaded" pistol is never too old io
go off and make trouble for peo-;
pie who happen to be in front of
it. The Morning Star.
The One Thing Denied Dewey.
The only thing that Dewey
reaUy seems to hanker for is
quiet and a chance to get back
to Montpelier without attracting
attention. And the great Ameri
can people are willing to give
him anything but that for which
he asks. Des Moines Leader.
Bryan Will Help Goebel.
A Louisville dispatch of the
27th, says Bryan has definitely
determined to aid Gcebel in the
Kentucky gubernatorial cam
paign. He has authorized ap
pointments for October 15th
17th and 18th.
Drying preparations simply
develop dry catarrh; they dry up
the secretions which adhere to
the membrane and decompose,
causing a far more serious trou
ble than the ordinary form of
catarrh. Avoid all drying in
halants and use that which
cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's
Cream Balm is such a remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold m
the head easily and pleasantly.
All druggists sell it at 50c. or it
wul be mailed by Ely Brothers,

prominently in re. r-'iblic eye to
day is Hood' Sap? war! Jn. Therefore
Things That Other People Do.
The man who does his best to
.- make the world a better
place, ' .
Whose heart is pure, who dares
v:-' to look his neighbor in the
face, .
Is not the one who takes delight
in holding up to view
"And scoffing at the foolish things
';that other people do.
The man who gains the noble
' height where fame and
honor wait
Wins no delight from petty spite
. r ' he gives no heed to hate,
For he has little chance to reach
this distant summit who
Gives" up his time to smudging
things that other people do.
I like the honest man who tries
to keep away from sin;
I like the man who seeks to rise,
but does no wrong to win
The world is brighter for the day
, , spent in his presence who
Can keep from finding fault with
; thingsvthat other people do.

"Mrs. Clara E Wright is run
ning a profitable little print shop
in the Klondike, where she issues
a paper (monthly) and gets a dol
lar a copy for it. It is called by
the catchy name of the Rampart
City Whirlpool, and is probably
the only pap ar in this country
which is set up without a com
positor or printed without a
press. Every copy is typewrit

writing machine compose the
whole layout. Morning Star.
During the ciyil war, as well as
in our late war with Spain, diar
rhoea was one of .the most
troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. in many
instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from
it. Mr. David Taylor, of Wind
Ridge, Greene county, Pa., is one
of these. He uses Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy andj9ays he never found
anything that would give him
such quick relief. It is ion sale

Secretary Root is besieged
with requests from officers' wives
to go to Manila. Gen. Otis re
cently cabled the war department
that there were no accommoda
tions in the Philippines for wo
men. In view of this and the
near approach of the campaign,
together with the fact that all
available space on the trans
ports is needed, Secretary Root
has issued a circular letter re-
fusing all requests. Washington
