I . slavery that without pay im to reman when the negro needed to give more attention to tbe matter of making him self intelligent, industrious, law-abiding, and the' cultivation of high moral habits. The negro is too poor to be idle. He is too far behind to let others get ahead of him in learning, useful occupations. He is too weak to fail to secure that strength and respect which comes to any one through the owner ship of property and the conduct of business. . I don't find too 'much fault ; the negro in proportion to his oppor tunities has made unparal led progress, but I want the; progress in the near future to be far greater than in the past. . . "In connection with the efforts of the negro himself to improve and' to obey the law, it is most important at the present time that those in author ity see io it that the law is enforced in the interests of black men and white alike. Any deviation from this course will bring ruin to both races and to our country. The official who breaks the Jaw when a negro is concerned will ere long break it when a white man is concerned. We cannot have one code of justice for a white man and another for the black without both races being made to suffer. I want to implore my race not to get discouraged during this trying time. Perhaps we needed these trying days to prod as on to greater effort and more conscientious duty. Without sorrow there is no joy, with out trial there Js no triumph, without the storm there is no strong oak.. Al most the whole problem of the negro in the South rests itself upon the fact as to whether he can make himself such a valuable factor in the life of the South that he will not in any large de gree seek privileges, but they will be conferred upon him. To bring this about the negro must begin at the bottom and lay a sure foundation and not be lured by any temptation into trying to rise on a false foundation. While the negro is laying this founda tion he will need help, sympathy and justice from the law. - "American slavery was a great curse to both races, and I would be the last to apologize for it. But in the provi dence of God I bel'eve that slavery laid the foundation for the solution of the problem that is- now. before us in the South. During slavery,. the negro was taught every trade, every industry that constitutes the foundation for a living. Now, if on this foundation laid in rather a crude way, it is true, but a foundation nevertheless, we can gradu ally grow and improve, the future for us is bright. "The black man who can make him self so conspicuous as a successful farmer, a large tax-payer, a wise helper of his fellow-man as to be placed into a position of trust and honor, whether tbe position be political or otherwise by natural selection, is a hundredfold more secure in that position than one placed there by more outside force, or pressure." Professor Washington closed by out lining the work that is being done in Europe for women in the direction of industrial training. They are study ing theoretical and practical agricul ture, horticulture, dairying and poul try raising. " READY FOR BATTLE. The Boers Armed With Mauser V Rifles The British Will Attempt to Disarm Them. Pretermeritsburg, September 26. A considerable body of Natal Boers, arm ed with Mauser rifles, supplied at Pretoria, is on the frontier ready to fight. The British authorities are sending troops to disarm the Boers or drive them over the frontier. It is reported at Pretoria that armed Burghers have demanded that General Joubert take command of them and get ready to fight. They insist that unless he is willing to take the initia tive he must relinquish his commond. Capetown, September 26. Quanti ties of stores and ammunition are leav ing: daily and the movement.of troops from Natal is merely a precaution measure to tbe mines. Rumors of col lisions should be received with cau- t lion, London, September 26 A general tee. including that of tbe pro- Boers, is that the published dispatch of Chamberlain to Milner, clears the way for peace if the Boers so desire.

A Johannesburg dispatch to the Times states that the delay in" the settlement of negotiations is creating a worst impression amonog the Boers. They boast that while Great Britain indicates delay in behalf of Burgher, she immediately and unnec essarily prolongs the cont roversary, be cause she is afraid to follow her game of bluff of force. According to the Times correspond ent, every where "reports re received that there is eagerness among the Borers for hostilsties. - - . The postponement is said to be al most wholly due to Joubert s restrain ing influence. It isrumored circum stantially that Joubert has received imperative orders from the armed Burghers that unless he is prepared to take the iniative within a brief period he must relinquish command of tne army.

A DESERTED MARBLE TOWN; v f- ' - - ii Gold Dlaeorerr Tltat Built Bridge water la m. Canadtaut Wilderness, j j "Up in Ontario." said J. W. Wheat-; ley, a civil engineer of Montreal, ther is a deserted town called Bridgewater;! which is built entirely of marble. About: 25 years ago a farmer's wife was search1-! ing in the woods for a pig that had strayed from the family pen. In a par-J ticulaxly dense part of the woods she found a spring of crystal water. Being thirsty, she stooped over to drink. As she did so she slipped on a round stone which rolled from under her foot and fell into the water. Attracted by the peculiar color of the stone, she fished it out and took it home. It was found to be a 20 pound nugget of almost pure gold. - il "Bridgewater at that time was about 40 miles from the nearest railroad, and the site of the town was a howling wil-j deraess. But such was the effect of the accidental discovery of gold that within six months the wilderness had blossom ed into a bustling, substantial city of 5,000 inhabitants and more a-comingj They came from every quarter. -'- There were old forty-niners from the Pacific slope, amateurs from England and the United States, prospectors from every field. Shafts and tunnels were driven by hundreds.- j In sinking a shaft one mile south of the town on the claim of 3. Flint, a life senator of Canada, a vein of white maiji ble was found. . At the suggestion ol Senator Flint, who wanted little or nothing for the material, the town of Bridgewater was built solidly of mar- ble. It has even to this day a courtf house, school, church, hotel, stores and private dwellings constructed wholly of white marble. One mile north of the town are" an abandoned grist mill and an ax factory whose foundations are built of marble. : 'While the town was booming the entire country adjacent was prospected; Some of the shafts and tunnels driven were more than 100 feet in depth, but remarkable as it may seem, there was never sufficient gold found by the pros pectors collectively to pay the cost of a single mine in the district Still, the earlier disappointments only increased the virulency of the gold fever, which laid hold of the farmers around Bridge water with a particularly tenacious grasp. In fact, so excited did they be come that many of them actually em ployed armed guards to prevent tres passers from picking up the loose gold which they imagined existed on their places in vast quantities. "The place where the original nugget was found by'the woman in quest of a pig was christened Aladdin's cave, and land in its vicinity sold for fabulous prices. One farmer whose farm adjoined the cave sold five acres to an English syndicate for $100, 000 cash. The syndi cate spent another $100,000 in develop ing the claim, but never obtained a sin gle ounce of free gold. In all it mined about 100 tons of quartz. In return the syndicate received a bill for about $375 smelting charges over and above the value of the gold in the quartz. It was the last shipment of quartz, for the cost of hauling, shipping and smelting was in the neighborhood of $150 a ton more than the rock produced. jj "One old Irishman at Bridgewater,; Patrick Kehough by name, received an offer of $125,000 cash for his farm,' which consisted of 100 acres of rock piled, barren land. He promptly refused the offer, 'holding out for $150,000,! which he never got. Today one could buy the property for almost anything over $1 an acre. ' ; j "Within a couple of years it became patent to all that mining in Bridgewa ter would never pay. So silently, one by one, the prospectors stole away from their marble residences, ;to be followed shortly by the owners of the marble stores, leaving the once thrifty town to settle down to a lonely, weed choked and futurelesa desuetude." New York Sun. ' At the Literary. At a so-called "literary? in a Georgia -settlement a sturdy old farmer obtained the floor and spoke for one hoar, on corn rais ing, fodder pulling and cotton picking. ! v , The local preacher was present, and arose to a point of order. "I donot see," said he, "what a literary meeting has to do with corn raising and fodder pulling?" "Well," replied the old farmer, "it's got Jest this to do with it rj Ef it warn't fer corn, cotton, an' bacon an greens there wouldn't be a literary man in the whole. blame country!" , A Men and Eggi. .

"One cent a dose," WHEN a person buys medicine, it is with the expectation of getting relief from some phys ical trouble. If Dr. Miles' Restorative Bemedies are purchased, the hope will be realized. They are as carefully com pounded and as conscientiously placed before the public as is any physician's prescription, having however, the ad vantage of Dr. Miles' experience, pro longed study and a quarter of a cen tury's practice in diseases of the heart, brain and nervous system. " Dr. Miles' Remedies are meritorious remedies that have been perfected through years of study and experi ment. If this were not true, men like S. E. Wiiloughby, a resident of Clyde, N. Y., for fifty years, forty of which has ,been spent in active business, would not write as follows: "Three years ago I began -taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and have received the best of results from it. I was troubled with extreme ner vousness, sleeplessness and a run down condition, brought on by overwork and business cares. -I had takena quantity of well advertised remedies, without flndinganythingthat would quiet and soothe and rest the over taxed nervous system, until I tried Dr. Miles' Nervine. It is -the best remedy for a disarranged brain I have ever found, and I would not be with out it for the world. I cannot say enough in favor of Dr. Miles Reme dies. One dose before retiring, after a hard day's work at the store, quiets my nerves and induces sleep like a babe's. I take pleasure in recommend ing Dr. Miles' Nervine; in my esti mation it is the best in the world. . I speak from experience." R. MILES NERVINE, togeth er with Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Fills are scientifically prepared remedies for indigestion and dyspepsia. Through excessive weak ness of the nervous supply of the vital organs, their functions are but feebly and imperfectly carried on. Tonics are unable to cope with the condition, because by stimulation the patient is led to overtask already weakened or gans. Dr. Miles' Nervine restores tne true vitality of the nerve structure by renewing the nutrition of the tissues and bj conveying the strength and power to perform their duty, direct to the digestive organs themselves. Mr. Frank A. Bond, the leading clothier and furnishing goodsjdealer of Middlebury, Vt., says of Dr. Miles! Remedies. "It gives me much pleas ure to testify to the merits of Dr. Miles' Restorative Remedies. Six months ago I was suffering from indi gestion closely bordering on dyspepsia together with, extreme nervousness; at times unable to control myself or obtain necessary sleep. A friend per suaded me to try Dr. Miles' Nervine and Nerve and Liver mils, and after three or four bottles of the Nervine one of the little pills I was fully re stored to health, and eat and enjoy my food as well as I ever did.
