The words thus uttered wil prove baneful just in proportion to the reputableness and respectability of the speaker. If ha is a common meddler whose chief delight is to stir up trouble, or an irresponsible gas "bag whoae worda mean nothing, he may not be taken seriously, and the people of each race may let his words nassbv. But if the words proceed from one who should be a leader of lila people, one who should be con spicuous for the accuracy of hla judg ment and the wisdom of his advice on social and moral questions, much greater indeed is the damage result tog from reckless speech. Mr. Masaee, the offending preacher, may be honest in his opinions, but he 5s an offender nevertheless. From the southern point of view ihe point of view that must obtain in any rational settlement of all questions dealing with the subject the clerical speaker ia sadly mistaken. If honestly mistaken he is thereby shown to be utterly Incapjiblograjiplng the slt "'"',liiiSff'wiit Insurrection and blood will run in the streets and torches be put to our houses," because of our inabil ity to get along with the colored man, provided the misguided and fanatical to-called friends of the negro but really his direst enemies withhold their hands and allow natural condi tion!, guided and directed by an Om nipotent Intelligence, to work out the problem alone. The black man is treated like a hu man being. The door of hope and op portunity for him is not through so cial, and in his present condition as a race, political equality. But the door of hope that is swinging wide open to him is that of industrial equality. The black man is protected in the enjoy .men of the fruits of bis toil and is en -ouraged to accumulate. Ilight here la Kinston are ample proofs of the truthfulness of this asser tion. There are colored men living Jiere who by their industry and perse' verance nave accumulated valuable property. They have erected credit able homes, and there are some in p ro se" of construction that would do credit to any town. Auim is oea to snow mat our peo ple do not withhold from the negro what is his just due, what his services are really worth.

KIlllBK At With Caaao. " Artillery charged with grapeshot has been employed to destroy great for tresses which the termites, or warrior ants, have made in many tropical coun tries. In South Africa tbe termites won enormous havoc. They live in a repub lic of their ownVand some of them have wings. The workmen, the soldiers and the queens, however, have none. The workmen construct their build ings, the soldiers defend the colony and keep order, and the females, or queens, are cared for by all the others. These become.

The crocodile, one of the most sacred animals of the east has given Its name to several ancient sites. Of the various "cities of crocodiles." tbe names of which have been handed down to us by Herodotus, Pliny and Strabo, perhaps tne roost striking was tbe "Crocodilop- blls'i of the ancient Egyptian province or Fayum, which, according to tradi tion. was built byvthat pbaruob who made the lives of the children of Israel bitter with hard service.'
