SMITH ON RACE QUESTION. Irresponsible Element Among the negroes Should be Supervised. At the Georgia home-comiig exercises- here today Govenbr elect Hoke Smith delivered an ad drefcs on tha raoe question in the South, in which he said that the fourteenth amendment to the con- - j a atitution hinders the most intelli gent mode of hadling the subject. "Our mode of national govern ment," Mr. Smith said, "has al waysj legislated for the Indians, placing around them restrictions entirely different from those ap plied to white men. But the 14th amendment to the constitution shou d follow the same plan in Georgia with reference to the ue groes. The white men must ac cept full responsibility and con trol of the situation. This is the whit man's country and it is the white man s burden. Ihe negro should be encouraged to help Kindly but firmly the large ma jority of negroes must be super- - vised and directed by the white mad. The fact should be kept in mind that a very large number of negroes' ara irresponsible and left in idleness are prone to crime. We must exhaust all legal means to save negroes from idleness." Mr. Smith advised stricter va grancy laws and arrest 1-afing, wandering negroes as robable criminals He also said the sys tem! of education should be changed.-! La Grange, Ga., dispatch. Lock System for the Panama Canai. The selection of the lock plan was undoubtedly due to the ac ceptance of the dominating in fluence of the Chagres river. It i has been general to assume that the great difficulty of the sea- level plan lay in the immense amount of elevation it would re quire in the cut at Culebra. Had this been the only difficulty, it is probable that the j sea-level pro ject would have been adopted ; but when it ii understood that the real problem was the holding back of the entire flood j waters of the Chagres, a flood o 80,000 cubic feet per second, by a dam at Gam boa, rising to a level of 810 feet above the surface of the canal, and more than a mile iu length at the crest, it will de seed; than the Ouleba cut was a secondary matter. In the sea level plan the accumulated flood waters of the Chagres were to hav been let off gradually through sluices into the canal itself, producing at times a current as high as four feet per second. In the lock pro ject the waters of the flood river merge into one great lake, with ample spillways, giving unre- I stricted navigation for vessels of all sizes for one-third of the whole distance across the isthmus.- Henry Harrison Suplee, in the October-December Forum. Condition of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. The condition of Mrs. Jeffersoi. Davis, widow of the President of the Confederacy, who has been ill at the Hotel Majestic for several days, is now regarded as serious. Mrs. Davis was stricken sever al days ago with a severe cold. There was no fear for the outcome at first, but her illlness did not yield to treatment. Mrs. Davis1 daughter is now on her way to New York form Colo rado Springs and is expected to arrive today. New York dispatch.; Cuba Asked for Intervention. Secretary Root today made pub lic the correspondence leadins up to ihe intervention in Cuba. The i correspondence took place be tween Consul General Steinhardt, at Havana, and acting Secretary Bacon, of the State Department. An important feature developed in the dispatch was that interven tion was asked by the Cuban government as early as Septem ber 8, and that as long ago as September 14, Pal ma had deter mined to resign as President of the republic, that the vice-president and cabinet ministers had also determined to continue no longer in office. It is also shown that intervention by the United States has long been planned by the Palm a government and was communicated to the State . De partment in a tetter; by Consul General Steinhardt j as early as September 5. -Washington dis patch, f v The Hazer Usually a Coward. The hazer s usually a coward and the sight of a gun or a knife makes him skip put. The fool with the blacking brush is a hard proposition in all colleges. He needs killing, but no one wants to stain their hands in blood. The hazer as a rule cuts the big gest swath during his sophomore year in school, and about the only time in life he plays the part of master is the time he takes advantage of a green fresh man away from home for the first timeand lords it over him. The blustering hazer works for another man after he leaves school, Monroe Enquirer, They Make Yob Feel Good, The pleasant purgative effect experienced by all who use Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and the healthy condition of the body and mind which they create makes one feel joyful.

Mr. Arthur Turner, iy years old, had a most remarkable es cape from death in falling 80 feet from the top of the superstruct ure of the Southern Railway's new steel bridge, being constructed by the Phoenix Bridge Company across the Congaree river, today. He struck the water face-downward, missing a raft of lumber floating by about six feet. When he came up he was stunned, but he was promptly hauled aboard the raft and by the time he reached shore he was upon his feet and walked to his boarding house. Columbia, patch'. dis Former Concord Han In Trouble. In the police court today G. G. Morgan, of Concord, N. C, who has been living here for some months, pleaded guilty to charge of operating a gambling resort here, which was raided last week. He was fined $100 and given three months in jail. How ever, under an agreement to leave Lynchburg, he was only required to serve 24 hours. The remain der Tifill be held over him, should he return. Lynchburg, Va., dis patch. . How to Gore a Cold. The question of how to cure a cold without unneceesary loss of time is one in-which we are al more or less interested, for the quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger of pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va., has used Chamberlain's Cough Remedv for years, and says : 4 firmly believe Chambe r 1 a in's Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the mar ket for colds. I have recommend ed it to my friends and thev al agree with me." For sale by James Plummer, Salisbury, and, Spencer Pharmacy, Spenoer, N, C.
