A Unique Case Disposed Of. J
Paiikbrsburg,- Va., April 7.
One of the most unique cases ever
known in West Virginia courts has
been decided by Judge Jackson in
the Federal court at Wheeling.
The first discharge issued under
the new bankruptcy laws was
granted to John Cochran, of
Eureka, W. Va., son f Friend
Cochran, a wealthy and influential
landowner of Pleasants county.
Cochran became involved heavily,
, and when the elder Cochran died
years ago, a will was left, with a
provision that at any time the son
obtained a legal discharge of his
debts, the fortune should be given
him. The new law created the
only channel through which the
large fortune could be obtained,
which has accumulated greatly
since the elder Cochran's death.

Tuskegee, Ala., April 9. Booker
T. "Washington, president of the
Tuskegee Normal and Collegiate
Institute, and, perhaps, the most
widely known colored man in the
United States, answering the re
quest of a prominent colored man
in North Carolina as to what
should- be done to allay the pres
ent conflict, between the races,"
says: - " i f! . l: .
I have been asking myself lately
some rather serious questions and
I want to put one or two of j them
to you. Is there any reason why
the negroes in the South should
continue to oppose the Southern
white man and his politics? lis
this not the source of nearly all
our troubles ? jj j
.'Unconsciously we seem to have
gotten the idea into our blood and
bones that we are only acting in a
manly way- when we oppose
boutnern wnite men witn our
totes. ' r '.: It :;
"In some way by some method,
we must bring the race to the
point where it will cease to feel
that the only way for it to succeed
is to oppose everything suggested
or put forth by the Southern white
men. :- i
"This I consider one of our real
problems. . I believe that there are
thousands of white democrats in
North Carolina who are 50 per
cent, better friends to the negro
than Governor Russell. I see no
necessity in continuing to follow
Governor Russell, who has no
power to protect, or if he has the
power he; does . not exercise it,
rather than these other white men
who l ean protect us if we cease
continually and forever to oppose
them." ' , - j

The Jim Crow Oar Bill in Full
Force Now.

search of the captions of the laws
passed by the legislature fails to
discover the supplementary bill

was passed, the law is now in full
force and effect and anyone who
rides in a car; with 'a negro may
complain to the corporation com

brugbt for recovery of the penalty.

Every Man His Own SodarFountain.
A Mr. Stearne, of, Zurich, has
obtained a patent for reducing car
bonic acid gas to liquid form, and
he proposes to sell it to the public
in httle capsules, small enough to
be carried in the vest pocket. By
this invention every man can have
a soda fountain with him wherever
he goes, for by unscrewing the cap
sule and dropping its contents into
a pitcher or bottle of water the
liquid dissolves into gas again' and
charges the water like apollinaris
or soda in a fountain siphon; A
company is - being formed for the
purpose of making capsules and
changing them with the liquid gas.
It is proposed to put j them up in
little boxes to be supplied to the
public through druggists and gro
cers and furnish them to hospitals,
steamships, armies - and : navies in
quantities.
