The trial of J. L. Foster, alia A. B
Jackson, tha hoodoo, in th Police
Court this morning disclosed B super
stition that passe comprehension. The
prisoner even tried hi "witcher"'npon
tbaoourt. Whan wiiaeas sitai witw
accused him and told how ne spriokled
blood upon their doors, mad money
grow in the ground, worked other won'
den, and took their money, but gave
nstbiDg in return, Jackson saw that the
meshes of the law wer woven about
him and he fell upon the floor loath'
omely ill.
Hi violent fit of nausea, H was soon
found, ws produced by swallowing
great quids of tcbaooo. lb game did
not work and Jackson is now in Jail in
default ot a 1100 bond ia two oases for
false pretenoa.
The main victim of the hoo-doo wi
Henry Jones, a benevolent old "uncle,
who hobbled into court on a stick and
looked like he might have passed bis
96th birthday. "Unole" Henry tkook
hi crooked (tick at th prisoner and
vowed time and again "You fooled
me." "You got my money, yon know
you did."
Jackson, it was testified, visited
Uncle" Henry' cabin and confided
to him a great secret. Hoo-doo
Jackson had this mytteriou instru
ment (an old watch case) filled with the
blood of two slain men, and this instru
ment would tell where treasure were
buried or make money grow out of th
ground. Mysteriously Jackson crept
around th old man's garden patch and
curious gurgling cam from th
watch.
The witches in th blood bad ipokeu,
great wealth wa surely conoaaled be
neath the very spot Jackson itood.
Now if Uncle" Henry would pay
11 80 and three other would contribute
a like sum, then these riches should
be their. But "Unole Henry said he
did not want to go in partnership with
any "niggers" and, aino h had
managed to save a little money to carry
him through the winter, he would pay
th 17 20 himself and hay all th
wealth hid in hi garden. ,
Jackson brought a piok and shore!
to th spot and the excited Unole"
Henry wa told to go in hi house and
stay there real quiet for two hour;
blood wa a pattered on hi door and he
dared not coma out, while ghost and
haunts were helping Jackson to dig up
the treasure. When "Uncle" Henry,
wearied of hi virgil, emerged jack so
had vanished.
The new hoo-doo game wa worked
on four negroes living near the Sea
board freight depot. They paid 1.80
eaob, a total of $7 20, in th expecta
tion of finding the ground in a certain
pot of the Qienwood property literally
sprinkled with coin. f
Jackson took th money they gave
bim, Mattered it over th earth, tram
pled it under foot, waved hi magic in
strument and sent the terrified negro
bom while he ran over to tha ceme
tery for a conference with spirit of th
departed. ' i

Vecretary of Stat Grime readily gave
hi view on tbfeffeol ot the amend
meat in North Carolina when request
ed to do so for th information of th
people of Georgia. He said:
"Th constitutional amendment of
1900 hat been an unmixed bleating to
North Carolina. It is th greatest leg'
iaiativ measure in our history and it
good effect hare been felt by both
race. Under it the intense feeling
and race hatred engendered by fusion
and ' negro nil bare given plaee to
friendliness and harmony.
"It ha been an undisguised benefit
to th negro; he ia treated even more
liberally than before it passage; it has
lifted him above the plan of an igno
rant tool of designing politician and
he now know that ha must rely upon
hit individual merit for adytneement
he is assured Justice and equality be
fore the law and ha every opportunity
for hit industrial betterment.
Freed to tome extent from the evil
influence of political master, th ne
gro is a mora contented laborer and is
no longer a menace to our institutions.
Our civilisation it safe and whit tu
premscy is secured for all time.
"The Democratic party is entrenched
for a feneration. Stat politic and
good government are assured. A feel
ing of peace and security prevada th
Stat for tha first time sinoe th war
and our people are now free to work
out a glorious destiny.
"Our educational growth in the past
five year ha not been equaled by any
State in the union and such ample op
portunities are now offered that every
white boy coming of age after 1908
should be ready to enjoy th elective
franchiie. A an educator the amend.
ment it an unqualified success, tut-pass
ing a compulsory education law.
Th industrial development of the
put few year ha been marvelous and
unprecedented in our history.
"Property is tecurt and confidence
everywhere abound. An illustration
of thit it thown by the great amount
of capital being invested in the State
strikingly thown by the growth of cor
poration. In the six year of fusion rule from
January 1, 189S, to January 1, 1901,
eight hundred and twelve (812) corpora
tion were chartered; from January 1,
1901, to November 21, 1905, two thou
sand, four hundred and seventy (2,470)
corporation were chartered.
"No white man can now be disfran
chised unless he does it himself by his
own negligence or crime. The negro
is oat of politic and boas ism; it ia now
impossible, for every white man i free
to vote as he please and for those
measure which in hi Judgment mean
moat tor th welfare of North Carolina.
"Upon the suffrage amendment rests
largely the future progress, prosperity
and htppinest of our people.

AU France stand aghast at th terri
ble massacre of lemMa Russia, and in
spite of the fact that the overthhrow of
th present regime in that country
would probably mean a loss of several
million of franc to th French people
you hear everywhere, even among those
who hav invested all their savings in
Buisi securities, nothing but word of
condemnation ot the Taar't goverment,
which ha don little or nothing to pre
vent the theding of Jewish blood.
It i one of Jh most beautiful traits
in the oharaoter of th French people
that, thrifty and saving though they
are, money ia after all a secondary con
sideration, which i perhaps more than
can be (aid about th oitixen of other
great republic.
Money for the relief of the suffering
Jew in Russia is pouring in, but there
are a good many philanthropists her
who declare that money will be of no
avail, at it will ultimately become booty
for the assassins, and that th only
remedy is to assist th whole Jewish
population in Bussia to leave the coun
try wher they are object of such in
tense hatred.
A Butsian of high standing in this
city ha endorsed this opinion, and
while strongly condemning the massa
cres, and far from condoning th mur
derers, has tried to explain to the
French people the hatred of th Bus-
sian against th Jew.
"While it is true," be says, "that
lb Buiaian autocratic government hat
alwai considered the Jews an undesira
ble element because of their mental su
periority over the ignorant moujik, it
should be remembered that tbe massa
cre hav el way l been committed by
the lower classes and without the in
ttigation of the clergy or the officials,
at it ia often said. Th lower classes
hat the Jew because of their thy-
lockian method toward them.
Th Buttian Jaw ha the antipathy
of bis race aginat bodily labor.
"He never till th toil nor make
hit living by th sweat of hi brow.
He is nearly always either a merchant
or a money-lender on a small or large
soale.
As a merchant he is always unscru
pulous and very often dishonest, but it
l a a money-lender that he usually
arouse hatred.
The Russian hat in hi character
many of the trait of the child. He it
caieleas with money, whether he pos
sesses little or much, light living and
extravagant. When the Jew comet to
him and offer to lend him money h
aooept it, thinking little of th rat of
interest or of the day of payment He
give as security anything demanded,
and when the term of th loan expire
and he cannot pay he cannot under
stand that th lender ha any right to
take possession of th security given.
"The Jew Insist on having hi pound
of fletb, and in taking it he often teal
hi own doom. For all parties con
cerned it would be a great bleating if
Zionism would induce every Jew in
Russia to leave tha empire."
Such are the view of an educated
and liberal Buttian, who deplore th
slaughter of Jew a much as anybody,
and there are many men here aoquinted
rwith condition in Bussia who agree
with him.

Mrs. W. B. teltoB la Atlanta Journal.
When President Cleveland was first
elected to the presidency h ws unmar
ried and hit sister chaperoned the white
house for him until he wa married to
handsome France Folsom some months
later.
Mrs. Cleveland was understood to be
a person of mature age, had been a
teacher and wa possessed of mature
Judgment?
Everything she said or did wa faith,
fully reported and whatever ah said or
did wa prudent and sagacious.
Soma reporter who frequented the
white bouse asked her opinion on dress
and manners and th was credited with
saying: "Manner ar not character,
but thuy are the drees of character."
A a rule manner are a good index
to character, bat not always. I have
heard of young ladies who were tweet
and attractive to the boy, especially to
the beau, who made a business of 'fan
ning out" homatolk on the shortest
notice Their pert answer and general
indifferenclp the pleasure of mamma
and thfi rest of the family betrayed the
real manner of these young ladies.
Mr.nnert are therefor sometimes Kke
"Sunday clothes," put oa foAutaid
us and laid and ia th home circle
with such indifferent persons.
The person who is nniformly a gen
tleman or lady has the real character
which goes with good manner and th
boorat horn 1 certainly barren of good
manners, otherwise good behavior. The
quality of th character it always better
o beery ed in th home circle. A hot-
band who 1 attentir to his wife om
thiiig like ke tried to b in their court
ing day ha developed substantial good
character in wedded life, bat anforta
natcly tha majority item to think it
unnecessary to conceal any of their
feeling or refrain from any sharp words
after they come into possession of this
parson who is pledged to honor, lore
and obey for better and for won (most
generally worse) to th and of thsir
live.
Sharp eyed little one in th house
hold tea how mamma is treated. Some
time they become very partisan in their
mother' behalf. Again they ape papa
with latonuhing exactness and when
they, too, enter th rank of matrimony
they do likewise.
Manners are th drees ol character
when real manner are involved. Th
manner which are donned for com
pany, like Sunday clothe, and an
pulled off for other behavior of ei
day wear will not ttand hard usage and
are therefore not a good sample of
charter.
Some woman say nio thing la a
way that bring a feeling of pride at
