MUTTON OR CROW.
Mr. B. II. Sorsby, writing from
Nashville to th? Xezvs an.! Observer,
quotes from a speech Mr. W. R. Henry
made at that place in the campaign of
1S92. He says the substance if not
the exact language then used by the
impassioned and enthusiastic champion
of Democracy when hurling such phil
ippics into the Populist camp as he
alone could do, was as follows:
"If one drop of Populist blood should
fall into a well and that well tilled with
dirt and rammed with a maul, and
rass should grow over it. and a sheep
should eat that grass. I would not eat
the mutton for fear of being tainted
with Populism."
This suggests the query: D;d Mr.
Henry feed on mutton that he has
grown so great a Populist, or is he
now
" eating crow.

want to join us as if we were a "Hos

about twenty such fellows, lying around
on the roadside waiting for an ambu

have not the disposition or the time to
establish a laboratory for the manu

into broken-down, impotent and

EXPOSITION NOTES.
The following interesting notes
about the Atlanta Exposition are fur
nished by the Bureau of Publicity and
Promotion:
During these last weeks of
prepara
tion, the work on the grounds ot the
Colton States and International Expo
sition progresses with marvelous rapid
ity. This is especially true in regard
to Machinery Hall, where work goes
on day and night. Big traveling der
ricks and cranes move steadily to and
fro, on their tracks; hundreds of men
are busy, day and night, putting in
foundations for exhibits, moving heavy
machines into place, and rounding up
the work in every possible way. The
first boiler was under steam last Thurs
day, and by this time others are. The
posts and lamp frames for the hun
dreds of arc lights are up, and
the wiring will soon be done. Arc
lights are already in use at the various
buildings where work is going on at
night.
In most of the buildings, the work
of installing exhibits proceeds steadily
In the United States Government
building, the exhibits are almost ready
for the public.
1 ne European exniuits are nere in
bonded cars, and in the bonded ware
house, awaiting the slow action of the
government, which has been tardy in
organizing custom house forces ade
quale for the emergency. This greatly
annoys the management, which has
forces waiting to nut these exhibits in
place as soon as they can be released.
The Argentine exhibit, in the Min
eral and forestry Building, is about
leaily, and is a striking one. It is
made attractive by fine oil paintings,
showing typical scenes in Argentine.
.Mr. leouora Mangel, trie represen
tative 01 osta Kica and balvador, is
on the grounds, preparing the exhibits
ot those countries. They will be in
pavilions erected for the purpose.
The Venezuelan Commissioner ar
lived in New Vork a few days ago, and
by this time is on the grounds, getting
his exhibit in shape.
The Committee which went to Mex
ico to invite President Diaz and his
cabinet to the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition, found that the
President was prohibited by law from
leaving the country, but it is likely
that Mrs. Diaz and members of the
President's cabinet will come.
Invitations to the Presidents of all
the South and Central American Re
publics have been sent out by Presi
dent Collier.
Dr. D. C. C.ilman, Chief of the Jury
of Awards for the Cotton States and
International Exposition, has been re
markably successsful in getting men
of eminent ability to serve in that de
partment. Dr. David T. Day, of the
I "nited States (lological survey, who
recently saw Dr. Gilman at North
East Harbor, Maine, says: "I was
amazed when I heard of the men who
had accepted positions on this Jury of
Awards. In the history of expositions
there was- never gathertd together such
a body of men as will be represented
on the board selected by President
Gilman. No other man could have
gained their consent.
The Smithsonian exhibit arrived last
Thursday morning. It consisted ot
seven car loads of exhibits and was ac
companied by Major Henry Horan.
Major Horan says of the exhibit: "It
will far excel any ever made by the
luiiiisoiiian institution, it is not so
large as that made at Chicago, but is
more complete and will surpass it.
Mr. W. C. J.angdon, who arrived at
Atlanta T hursday, will be in charge of
the exhibit of the I nited States Mint
at the Cotton States and International
Exposition. The most popular feature
will be a steel press striking off sou
venirs, bearing on one side a likeness
of Henry Grady, and on the other a
cotton plant, lhe exhibit of the
Treasury Department under Mr.
Charles S. Kemper, will be very com--plete.
Judge Emory Speer, of the United
States Court for the Southern District
of Georgia, has accepted the invitation
to deliver the opening address at the
Cotton States and International Expo
sition. In his letter to President Col
lier Judge Speer says: -I beg you to
convey to the board my high sense of
the honor they have conferred. I ac
cept with pleasure their invitation, so
kindly and cordially supported by
your own expressions. Indeed, I am
unaffectedly happy to be connected
with an occasion auspicious for Geor
gia and the South, and instinct with
the vitality and patriotism of your
great, broad-minded municipality."

A GRAND WORK.
On our recent trip to the Eastern
part of the State, we happened to strike
the train that was bearing the orphans
of the Odd Fellows' Orphanage to
their home in Goldsboro from Wilming
ton, where they had enjoyed an outing
as the guests of the fraternity of that
city. There were twenty odd of these
little folks and we were forcibly im
pressed by their neat appearance, their
good behavior and the spirit of con
tentment which seemed to prevail
among them.
The outing was greatly enjoyed by
the orphans and the occasion served to
show what a grand work the Odd Eel-
lows are accomplishing through the
Orphanage, which was established
only a few years ago. lhe projectors
of this institution and all who have
taken a lively interest in it since its
inception have builded wisely and we
trust that a deeper and more general
concern win De mannesiea in tins
grand work, which so practically dem-
onstates some of the cardinal principles
of this noble Order.
We are glad that the Odd Fellows
of Winston-Salem are among those
who have given the Orphanage cordial
support and if our friends here could
see the bright and happy inmates of
the home which they have aided in
providing, they would feel a deep con
sciousness of gratification that would
lead to still greater efforts in behalf of
the institution.
It is a glorious thought that one has
been instrumental in bringing relie!
and contentment to those who might
otherwise have felt the pangs of want
that sometimes visit the motherless
and fatherless home. Let the Odd
Fellows of North Carolina continue
with vigor and earnestness their praise
worthy efforts in this direction. Win

OH! FOR A JOHN BUN VAN.
The trials, tribulations and perplex
ities of Gen. Ransom in "reading his
title clear" to the Mexican mission, re
minds one of "Bunyan's Pilgrim's
Progress." ADDointed while vet a
Senator of the United States and con
firmed by the same body that created
the position as a first class appoint
ment, and sworn in the day after
Congress adjourned, the validity of
the appointment was promptly ques
tioned, but it was not decided adverse
ly till several months had expired and
Minister Ransom had drawn about
$5,000 in salary and expenses. Then
the appointment remained injeapordy
(as to Ransom) for probably a month,
when he was re-appointed, and now it
is stated that he cannot draw any sal
ary until his appointment will be con
firmed bv the Senate, which does not
assemble until next December and
which is of opposite politics to Mr.
Ransom, and mav stave oft his con
firmation as long as possible, or may
refuse to confirm. Defeated for the
Senate, and having his appointment
surrounded with so much uncertainty,
is doubtless "wearyine to the flesh" of
a man who has had such an easy time
in the Senate for twenty-two years.
We trust he may come out of it all
with flying colors, and that be may
yet enjoy the full fruition of the hope
which, so long deferred, has made and
kept his heart sick. Lumberton .tftffo-
sonian.
ADVICE TO THE NEGROES.
The leaders of the colored Republi
cans of North Carolina have issued a
call tor a State convention ot negroes
to be held on September nth.. The
object is briefly stated in the following
paragraph:
"We want a colored mau appointed
or nominated to nome offico of diguity
and honor in the State. We want an
equal distribution of the smaller offices
among colored and whites alike. We
realize that if we leare thiH matter to
the average politician we can never get
the recognition demanded. Now ia the
time to Hpeak in no uncertain way, so
those who expect our votes will give us
consideration. We have been voting
thirty years: although the men we vote
for get elected, we are not benefitted."
Such a convention can do the col
ored people no good, as the plea for
recognition in the distribution of
offices is based not upon the fitness of
the candidate, but is founded alto
gether on the fact that the claimant is
a colored man, his qualifications evi
dently being a matter ot only second
ary importance, or of no importance
at all. A theory of government which
made any man eligible to office by
reason ot certain racial peculiarities
would be an absurdity and would also
be foreign to the spirit of our institu
tions. lhe great mistake which the
negro has made in the past, and which
he will continue to make as long as he
is under the dominion of professional
leaders of his own race, is the demand
ior recognition as a negro ana not as
an intelligent, public-spirited citizen,
invested with the same rights and priv
ileges which all citizens enjoy and
to which he is entitled in equal meas
ure if he has the qualifications.
If such a convention is held in North
A' -lit .1
Carolina, me negro win oe ine mam
sufferer from his misdirected efforts to
secure a share of the offices. It it true
that the colored voters are the back
bone ot the Republican party in that
State and that without their support
the white Republicans would be an
insignincani minority, uut the mo
ment the convention is held and the
demand made lor an equal distribution
of the spoils, the race issue will be re-
ncu auu me lines win De drawn, as
they have been in the past, with the
negro getting the worst of it. It the
colored people will take our advice
they will abandon the idea of demand-
: r . 1
ing omces ior memseves as negroes,
but will seek promotion upon the
higher plane ot their fitness for the
wors. Ana 11 they are willing to
accept still better advice, they will keep
out of the mad scramble for spoils in
which they will always be outwitted
by the whites and by directing their
energies in other directions endeavor
to acquire property and to establish
themselves in business. Then recog
nition will come to them unasked.

THE PISTOL HABIT.
It is impossible to read the news
papers without coming to the conclu
sion that the pistol habit is almost an
epidemic in the country.
It is confined to no section, race,
nationality or class. On the same day
that we read of a pistol murder in
Tennessee, New York comes to the
front with the murder of one brother
by another and the murder of a wife
by her husband, all the work of the
pistol.
We hear of the pistol everywhere.
The manufacturers and the dealers
must be coining money. It must be
the biggest industry in the country.
Pistols in the court room, pistols in
the jury room, pistols in church, pistols
indoor and out, in the bar-room and
in my lady's boudoir pistols, pistols
everywhere!
No wonder we have murders. How
can a man tote a pistol during a bow
wow weather without using it when
his fevered brain reels under the ma
lign influence of the dog star?
But it is said that bad men defy the
law and carry the pistols, and thus
make it necessary for good citizens to
arm themselves. This is a mistake. All
that is necessary is to enforce the law
and enforce it quickly and with crush
ing severity. If the policemen and
detectives would be half- as alert about
this one thing as they are about some
very unimportant matters, they would
have regiments of pistol toters before
the courts.
We are not talking about any one
locality. We are striking at a nation
al crime. The hip pocket pistol mur
ders more people in this country every
year than perish in the average Cen
tral American or Cuban revolution. In
the majority of cases good men are the
victims. Under our present lax sys
tem every citizen when he goes- down
town in the morning is at the mercy of
some excitable fellow who loses his
head on account of weather or some
imaginary grievance.
Even when the pistol toter does not
make targets of his fellow citizen there
is danger. Many a man commits sui
cide because he has a pistol. It he
had been unarmed he would have re
covered from his depression and life
would again had charms for him. The
pistol habit is a bad one from every
point of view, and the courts, the press,
the pulpit and pullic opinion should
combine together and smash it. At
lanta Constitution.
CALL FOR A NEGRO CONVENUION
Raleigh, N. C, August 29. A
call for a negro State Convention has
been issued, the date being September
nth. It says that the negroes have
certain things they desire to say to the
people of the State generally, along
the line of industrial, educational and
political welfare, and believe the pres
ent to be the most opportune time to
give expression to their desires, it
being between elections and a time
tree trom political excitement, it is
asserted that it will be the most im
portant gathering of negroes that has
taken place since their freedom.
They desire to say to the politicians
of the State what they should do for
the negroes, who compose three-fourths
of the voting population of the Repub
lican party. The call says, we desire
to use that power intelligently so that
the results of our voting may redound
in benefit to the whole race, rather
than to a few men who attempt to lead
our race to get places for themselves.
We want a larger appropriation for col
ored schools. We want a colored
man appointed or nominated to some
office of dignity and honor in the Stat
We want an equal distribution of the
smaller offices among colored and
wnite alike, we realize that it we
leave this matter to the average poli
tician we can never get the recogni
tion demanded. Now is the time to
speak in no uncertain way, so those
who expect our votes will give us con
sideration. We have been voting
thirty years, and although the men we
vote for get elected we are not benefit
ted. The only way of remedying this
evil is in union and the expression of
the best sentiment of our people in
the State.

A Hint On The Use of Perfumes.
Lillie M
came to see me yes
terday, and after she had gone, Maria
(I , who was putting a new braid
on my second best gown, said:
"That Miss Liliie uses very nice per
fumery. It's so faint and liue, not,
anything you can smell a loug;itway
oft', but something which makes you
think of roses or violets when she
passes you on the street. How does
she manage it?"
Maria ii likes perfumes, but
does not know how to use them.
"Not bv putting cologne 011 her
handkerchief." Iauswered, decidedly.
"Nobody should carry about scents
poured 011 their garments.'' I had to
say this.
Perfumes are used sparingly by ele
gant people, yet a touch, a vague sense
of fragrance, does add souiet-hiug' of
daintiness to a girl's toilette. It is
right for you to have perfumes about
you if you love them.
Fresh rose-leaves thrown into your
bureau drawers and scattered iuto the
boxes where you keep your laces and
handkerchiefs, and sprigs of lavender
or lemon verbena left there to dry will
impart a pleasant sweetness to what
ever lies araou? them. Orris-root
powder in little sachet bags of China.
silk, or strewn lightly between folds of
tissue-paper, will give to your clothing
in closet or wardrobe a delightful faint
odor of violet. If you use delicate
soap with a sweet clean perfume, not
of musk or anything strong and pro
nounced, and put a few drops of alcohol
of ammonia in the water when you
bathe, you need not be afraid of any
unfavorable comment on your dainti
ness. Perfect cleauline?s is always
dainty. Soil and stain, dust and dirt,
are never anything but repulsive.

Extract from an Address Delivered at
the, New Berne Colored Fair The
Smith Has Done More for the. Negro
, Thiin the North 'Eilneating -Them
by Taxation.
Assistant Principal J. W. McDon
ald, of the Plymouth Colored State.
Normal Schoot, delivered an 'address
at- the colored Fair here, from which--
by request, we copy the follqwing;
I firmly believe that what we. now
enjoy, we enjoy it througn tne mar
velous providence of God and - there
is much expected of us that must be
accomplished before we become a
mighty people. We must act our part
ih the future development of America.
North and South alike feel this.- They
are now one, and I hope one and. in
separable forever.
In sixteen years the North donated
sixteen million dollars for the uplift
ing and elevation of the negro.
But look at the South. The South
in sixteen years have taxed themselves
more than twice, that, or thirty-seven
million dollars for the education ofthe
Negro.
Now that is right and I want you
with me to cheer and feel .that our
strongest friends are in the South.
Some Southern States support asy
lums for the deaf, dumb, blind, and
insane. Some have Normal schools,
Universities, and Training schools.
North Carolina supports seven Normal
schools, at an outlay of nearly twelve
thousand dollars, Virginia has given
her ten thousand dollars to Hampton,
and Alabama gives her ten thousand
to Tuskegee.
... When ..we consider the prostrate
condition of the whites in the South
at the surrender of Lee, and in the
light of what they have done towards
our education, we are forced to ex
claim, great and magnanimous is the
South!
. Yet there are many who oppose
Negro education on the ground that
the whites pay two-thirds of the taxes.
We are compelled to acknowledge that
the whites own the property of the
South, but the South must
acknowledge that the Negro is the
laborer of the South and a-large pro
ducer as well as consumer.
He produces more than one' billion
dollars worth of farm products an
nually, not estimating other pro
ducts. Then it is the Negro's labor,
his muscle that creates the school
fund.
I believe that the honest white men
of the South such as Hon. Thos. J.
Jar vis, Supt. S. M. Finger, Col. J. S.
Carr, of Durham, Bishop Haygood, of
Georgia, and many others will see
that every child of this beautiful
southland shall be trained lor man
hood and to bring blessings to her
proud and magnanimous people.
Besides what the white man, North
and South, has done in educating our
race, we have nearly two hundred
high schools, seminaries, colleges and
professional schools, seminaries, of
colleges and professional schools sup
ported and controlled entirely by
Negro skill, industry and money.
