It has been asserted by some that the negro race in this country is dying out, dying ont like the Indi an, bnt not so fas while others oontend that the negroea are not dying ont bnt are increasing in num ber. The former probably judge from the mortality reports -as com pared with the white race and take it for grantedthat such disproportion ate mortality meana eventual ex tinction, forgetting to make allow ance for the excess of births over deaths. Relatively speaking, how- ever, with reference to the nominal strength of each race the black race is dving out and slowly bnt surely becoming !e33 of a factor in our national life and problems. This is unquestionably shown by the the comparative mortality reports of all cities where they form a considerable part of the population, cities in the North and in the Sonth, but the fol lowing is from another source which is not confined to the cities or to section altogether and is interesting because it cannot be suspected of being influenced by race biaa nor famed to support a theory. The figures in both cases are the results of careful records, careful in the for mer as a business matter and in the letter as the record of a public in stitution of high standing. We clip from the Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Frederick L. Hoffman, statis tician (or one of the large life insur ance comptnie, contributes to the New York Medical Examiner an arti cle which strikingly compares the the rates of mortality among the whites and blacks of this country. For instance, he compiles this table of tho mortality of the two races deaths are from preventable causes, causes which could be prevented by the negroes themselves if they had I VlllOl PrOXXiptly OvSrCOEieS w a was. wvu wa wtj QUU ff OU LUV1 w J UUj ment in the selection of their habita tions and in their modes of living. Densely crowded ia cities, gener ally in the least inviting and most unhealthful section, they invite dis eases, and a large mortality is the resultant. This is shown by' the death records of every large city where the negroes are numerous. Therefore they should avoid the towns and cling to the rnral re gions, where they have healthful occupations, pure air, wholesome food, more room,, more comfortable habitations, and fewer temptations to or opportunities for dissipation which brings on disease and hastens death. To impress the negro with this it is necessary to give him some en lightenment and encourage him to do some thinking for himself. In directly if not directly this will be one of the results of the franchise laws in those Southern States which require an educational qualification for the voter the ability to read and write, the foundation of all education, with which the negro who wills it may become a self edu cator, and a thinker for himself. And yet there are professed friends of the negro race, who say they de sire its welfare and progress, who object to this, the shortest road to both, as an oppression and outrage, when it is really a blessing and a Godsend in disguise.

The fact that the relative rate or mortality is greater against the jouug negroes does not argue well for the improvement and survival of te race. The mortality records of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore between 1893 and 1902 f Ornish data for this tab ulation: Malefatients. Female Patient Ages. White. Colored White.

They entfrely overlook the widening margin in relative strength in favor of the white race. While this, ia going on they also for get that by migration and distribu tion of the negroes this margin is made still wider, and wider still by the influx of white settlers from other sections to add to the natural increase of population, an inflow which will steadily grow larger. As a result of this negro migration and white immigration the negro is be coming leas and less of a factor, while in one State at least, Louisiana, it has reversed the positions. Ten years ago the negroes outnumbered the whites in that State many thousands, now the whites out number' the negroes many thou sands. This process will continue not only in Louisiana but in all the Southern States. And in this is one of the solntions of the race problem, not a rapid one, maybe, but still more rapid than some may think. Bnt, why, it might be asked, this disproportion in the mortality of the races? Are the causes ,to be found in the races themselves, or in the conditions? Unquestionably the latter, for naturally the negro is not a feeble or decadent race. Under favoring conditions it is a strong and prolific race. The population of Africa shows that and even the increase of the blacks to-day in some sections where they have to contend against much more than they did before the white race be came dominant shows it. The his tory of the race in this country un der slavery also shows it. That was one of the reasons which led up to the dispute about the extension of slaveryjinto the ter ritories, and the repeal of the Kan- as-Nebraska act, which intensified the agitation which culminated in a fearful clash of arms and the abo lition of slavery, with its train of consequences, one of which is shown in the mortality figures quoted above. Had the negro population of the slave States not increased as it had 'there would have been no need of more territory for the sur plus, and ther,e would therefore have been no incentive to restrict agitation. As tho cause of the excessive mor- PKOSPECTINO FOB OIL. The belief is entertained by a good many people that petroleum can be found in this State. We have read of companies having been organized to bore for it; one at Asheville to bore somewhere in that vicinity, an other to bore in the vicinity of Xewbern and another to make tests in the coal field section between the Cape Fear and Greensboro. There are others who firmly believe that it can be found in Richmond connty. Geographically this is distributing it pretty generally all over the State. Among the firm believers that it can be found in paying quantities in Chatham county is Mr. Wm. H. Oliver, of Newbern, who some time ago wrote an article for the Fayette ville Observer calling attention to the fact that he had during the war seen oil found there, and supple ments that with a letter which the Observer publishes as follows: "New Bern, N. CL, Dec. 2, 1903. "jrayetteville Observer: "Sometime past I wrote an article which was published by you in regard to oil in Chatham county. I then stated that during the war while ing at Graham, we burned inordinary lampi oil which was brought from Gulf in Chatham connty. . here is no question about oil being there, and I nope the parties who I see are now prospecting for it. will flad it "William H. Oliver." The saddest sight on earth is a broken down man or woman. We see such. people every day right here in our city. It is pitiful to see a man that should be in his prime dragging himself through life dejected, discouraged and broken down, due to some premature weakness. It does not make any dif ference whether this weakness is the result of dissipation, indiscreet living or disease ; it can be overcome. We have known of many very serious cases of debility quickly overcome by VinoL J Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and strength creator. It contains the active curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in a highly concentrated form. The benefit that can be derived from the use of these properties is so well known that there is no need for us to enter into that subject. We could quote many instances where Vinol has done good ; as an example, here is one coming from Jane S. Fen fren, a prominent member of the W. C. T. U., and a resident of Suncook, N. H. She writes : " I -tvas run down, was in bed from May to March. Was so nervous and sickly that everyone thought I was in a most precarious condition. My weight was reduced to 120 pounds. I was ad vised to take Vinol, which 1 did, and am now very much better, and am able to be about again. As a rebuilder and a strength giver nothing can equal it. Vinol is a God-blessing to anybody." Because Vinol is delicious, and because it does contain these much-sought-after medicinal properties we endorse it, and we unhesitatingly proclaim that it is better than any preparation of cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe have ever had in our store. R0BT. R. BELLAMY. To which the Observer adds the following: "Several Fayetteville people, scien tifically inclined, have long asserted that there was oil in this neighbor hood, but could not raise the capital to test their views. Now foreign ex ports have come into the field and we mav look for some developments." Of course the cost of boring de pends upon the character of the earth formation where the boring is done. If there be not much hard rock to penetrate it can be done for somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar a foot less than two dol lars. The impression is that for a fair test it would be necessary to bore 1,800 or 2,000 feet to strike the oil-carrying sand strata, but this wouldn't be much of an undertak ing for men with some capital to spare. It is certainly worth the trial, for if successful it would mean a good deal for the men who under take it, and for the State. As far back as 1866 experts from the Pennsylvania oil regions ex pressed the opinion that oil would be struck near the Dan river, and a company was organized in Greens boro which began boring in the forks of the Dan and Mayo rivers, not far from Madison. But unfor tunately they soon struck a strata of rock which was too hard for the drills of thoso days, their money gave out and the company went to pieces. Had the conditions been different the test might have been made then. We are among those who believe that oil will be found in this State, somewhere between the Cape Fear and the Blue Bidge. THOMAS B. REED. The death of Thomas B. Beed, removes from the stage a man who for some years was the most con spicuous figure in his party, more admired and more denounced than any other men who in recent years has figured as a partisan leader, but with all a man of genial ways that made him friends even among those denounced him as a partisan. Since Blaine there has been no more re sourceful nor magnetic leader in his party, and had he not voluntarily retired from political activities to de vote himself to the practice of law, ne would doubtless have ended his me in the lenate. Even temporar ily retired from active politics he Was tOO big tO be lost aio-rit nt or,l - WU J there were not wanting indications that he might be brought forward as a competitor of Mr. Boosevelt for the nomination in 1904, if he would consent. He went into Washington apparently in the full vigor of health, and in a few days left it in a casket, cold clay. Such is life. The latest "endless chain" scheme caught up with by the Postoffice detectives was run by an old French man an inmate of the Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor in New York. All he asked was that the good people who received those let ters send him some cancelled stamps. They were to be utilized to help some poor boy along with a necessary surgical operation. When the officers got track of the old fel low and came up with him they found him operating on a tub full of stamps which were going through a chemical bath, which sas- tracted the cancel marks and left the stamp as good as new, save the absence of mucilage which he ap plied, and then sold the stamps. There were about 50,000 in the tub and a lot more waiting their turn for the bath. The old fellow was doing a paying business, but we ex pect the postoffice people made a mistake in saying anything about this for it is giving the cue to other thrifty, enterprising chaps. Wilkesboro Chronicle. Mr. James Pentaell has donated this office a curiosity in the corn -line. It is a solid bunch of 11 ears. The main ear is in the middle and there are ten ears clustered around it. Mr. O.- F. Cooper of lumberman, brought In some extra fine walnut logs last week from about King's,, ereek. One of them required a team of six to pull it. It was an extra large one--the largest ever brought here. Salisbury Sun: James G. Has kins, so badly wanted br the authori ties oj Rowan and Guilford counties, waa csptured Thursday in Ashland, Kentucky, where he was working in a laundry. Tbe sheriff at Ashland re ceived one of Sheriff Julian's descrip tive circulars offering a reward for nankins' arrrest. He soon located Hankins in a laundry and wired here to that effect yesterday evening. H was notified to hold him and Sheriff Julian left this morning for Ashland, which is only about 200 miles from Cincinnati to bring Haukins back. Weldon News-. Mr. Henry L. Grant, while bunting Wednesday of last week shot and killed a wild cat on the Gee plantation, about four miles 'rem town. Mr. Grant thot the ct five turns, and says he knows that four of tbe shots took tffect. The cat was wild aid ferocious and his eyes were like two balls of fire. It was three i mjs as large as the biggest bouse ct and whipped three dogs after it bad been wounded. This is tbe second wild cat that has been killed in tbat vicinity. A few years ago a very large one was caught in a steel trap. Pender Chronicle: While it had been reported that ripe strawberries were in tbe fields in various parts tf the county, and a few quarta bad been shipped from the county in November, yet it remained for Mr. J. H. Jordan, of mis townthtp, to ship the first full crate of tbe second crop, from tbe county. Mr. Jordan brought tbe crale of berries to Burgaw on Monday after noon for shipment. Tbe berries were of the Excelsior variety and they were perfect in coloring, shape, and other respects. They were unusually large. Thery were sold for 75c. per quart or $24 per crate. Baleigh News and Observer: Bruce Davis, colored, who owns a farm of forty-five acres in Morehead town ship, five miles from Greensboro, is greatly elated over a rich fitd be made of copper and gold bearing ores on his property recently. In one place, within a foot of tbe surface, he has dug buckets full of rich copper ore, and at another point, after a blast of flint and slate rock four feet deep, be has obtained very high grade ore, with a large sprinkling of gold specks in it. Whether Davis has struck it rich or not, enough is known to state that parties who ought to know some thing about the value of such minersl testimony hsve offered Davis to take an option of $3,500 on the property, and he, under advice, has refused it. It ia interesting in all these finds tbat from time immemorial, tbe location has had the name of possessing such wealtb, for generations have dug all about this farm in a vain search for what rtust hsve been known by the In dians, and so floated as tradition down through the ages of civilisation. Bruce says when he got the farm it was plum full of holes, some of them having great oaks growing in them, and only got the gold fever himself after reading about that Fentress mine sent out from Greenrqoro two weeks sgo, and he struck oil or gold and copper the very second day he went prospecting.

' When a garden first becomes a joyful possibility, most people turn at once to the thought of roses. Now, roses have no place In landscape gardening. As a rale they do not belong in the front yard. This may sound shocking and heretical, bnt It is true at least so far s the common double flowered roses e concerned. The place for roses is n the flower garden, and the place for e flower garden is In the rear or off lat one side by itself. Roses have too jmany insect enemies. Their foliage is always being destroyed. For the ordi nary person it is not worth while to spray them. Probably half the plants of all kinds sold in America by nurserymen are roses. Everybody lores roses, but In practice no one takes good care of them except the rose specialist. Personally I prefer peonies to roses for my garden. They have larger flowers which last longer than roses. They make a more compact anu snapeiy bush, nave an abundance of rich, dark green foliage, come into bearing earlier, are" hardier and longer lived than most roses, and they are remarkably free from insects and disease. All they lack is poetry, Ierfiime, thorns and bugs. But I shall not quarrel with any one who prefers roses. If you really want roses, you would better have them even if you fail.
