A (UUKVOUS MISTAKE. While the President recognized the best negro in the United States as his social guest, he made a grie vous mistake because there is not and cannot be any equality on such lines. We do not believe one man in a thousand anywhere in the North or West, would do such a thing. It is something no other President ever did. At any rate, the people of this end of tho country endorse Abra ham Lincoln's position, which he stated in these words in his memor able debate with Stephen A. Doug lass in 1858 : "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold o'lice, nor intermarrying them with white people, and I will say, in addition to this, that there is a phy sical difference- between the white and black race, which, I believe, will forever forbid the two races liv ing together on terms of social and political equality and, inasmuch as they can not so live, while they do remain together, there must bo a position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.'' -Montgomery Advertiser. AS TWO NEGRO JS SHOPS SEE IT. Bishop Turner, of the African M. E. Church, takes a despondent view of tho future of tho negro race in this country and believes the only hope for the negro is in deportation to Africa, or some other country adapted to him, his preference being Afriea. Bishop Grant, of the same church, however, takes a more hopeful view, believes that this is the country and here he should remain and work out liis (3w"it ties tiny, in commehsfna upon the appoint mont of ex-Governor Joues of Alabama to a U. S. judgeship, he is quoted as saying : . "Whatever is best to strengthen the friendship of the white and colored people of the South I will 1'ayor. Tho white peo ple aud the negro must ssttla down and Jive together in peace. Our interests iu the South are much greator thau in the re mainder of the couutry, and the President can and will do much to solve the problem." There are very few negroes of any prominence as representatives of their race who agree with Bishop Turner, while many of the most able thoughtful and progressive are sub stantially with Bishop Grant. About all of those who have labored for and with the negro and done anything towards his material, moral and in tellectual elevation agree that the South is the place for the negro and presents him more opportunities for bettering his condition as an individ ual and a race than any other p;irt of the world, even assuming that Bish op Turner's scheme were practicable, which it is not. While tho solution of tho race problem is in the hands of both ra ces, its solution depends in a great measure on the negroes themselves, gome of whom are moving on the right line, men like Booker T. Washington and others, who are de voting their lives to impressing upon their race the value of industry, thrift and good habits, which will keep them out of the paths that lead to dissipation, vice and to conflict with their white neighbors. With the negro out of politics and out of devilment, honestly striving for his own betterment, he would have the sympathy and encourage ment of the better class of white people and there would be no raea conflict.

Mallison near Wildwooa, were re markable in size, having 40 and 30 rattles respectively. Their subse quent history is of considerable in terest. The negroes of the neighborhood sent in a request for the dead rat tldrs and they were given to them. The negroes took the snakes and re moved their skins and then carefully cooked them. After the feast they declared that rattle snake meat was "jes' as good as chicken." It is said that the flesh was quite white after being cooked and that the negroes thoroughly enjoyed this repast. JSIew Bern Journal. The subject of this sketch, Susan DeCormis Teal, was born in the county of Camden on the 19th day of May, IS45, was therefore 50 years 4 months and 22 days old. She was twice married, linsfc to Mr. A. D. S tewart, of which union one child, Mr. James Stewart, of this town, survives. In 18SG she was united to Mr. Ilosea Peal and for fifteen years was the sunshine and joy of a happy home; a loving and affectionate mother and wife; a faithful friend and neighbor, and a devoted, conse crated christian. At an early age she became a mem ber of the Missionary Baptist church, and though in her latter days she was kept away from the holy sanct uary by affliction, she remained steadfast in the faith, as was most beautifully illustrated by her patience during her last days on earth. --For years she suffered from cancer, and though she sought relief from evory source, she seemed to realize that her days on earth were numbered, still she remained cheerful and seemed to be perfectly resigned to her fate, and aa the mantle of night was drawn back to admit the dawn of a perfect October day ; as the sun beams first flitted across her sick chamber on the morning of October Xlth, 1901, the death angel entered that happy home and gently bore away to its eternal rest bevond the skies the spirit of Susan jjcCormis Peal. Those left to mourn are one son of the first union, one son of the second union, a devoted husband, two step-children who . loved her as their own, two brothers and three sisters, all of whom must lind com fort in the thought that their loved one has gone to meet her God, where she awaits the coming of those she loved, where the severed ties of earth can bo united for eternity in that "Homo not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
