SOUTH’S BRAINS AND DEEDS.

UcmphU Comseretal Apdm).
The United States cannot get
along without the South and her
splendid sons. It was a South
erner that wrote the Declaration
of Independence and /rawed the
first measure to abolish slavery.
It was a Southerner who con
ducted the Revolution to a
successful issue. It was a South
Carolinian who drew tbe frame
work of onr immortal Constitu
tion that was adopted aud fol
lowed by the Colonial Con
vention. It was a Virgiuian
that promulgated the Monroe
doctrine. It wns another Vir
ginian, about a hundred years
ago, who announced the cardinal
principles of civil service re
form.
It was a Kentuckiau who
originated and fathered pro
tection—-the cardinal principle
of the Republican party—in this i
vWU...».. • » ■ sTuiunvincr
who added to the repnblic the
great empire of the Weat em
braced in the Louisiana pnr
cha.se. ft was a Tennesseean
who smashed the British at N*ew
Orleans nud crowned the wnr of
1812 with success, ft was the
military genius of the South
that won the Mexican war. It
waa a Southerner who marked
ont the Gulf Stream and brought
about the establishment of the
Naval Academy, ft waa a
Kentuckian who guided the ship
of atate through the war of sec
cession and freed the slaves.
It was a Tennesseean who
commanded the Federal fleets
during the civil war and became
one |ol the three Admirals the
country has had. It was a
Southerner who was in com
mand of the fleet at Santiago
that destroyed the naval power
of Spain. Instances might be
multiplied of the genius, the
enterprise and the valor of the
sods of the South; but we have
named enough to prove that the
country cannot do without the
South.
"Pom as Whit* People."
\V*ri and Courier.
At the recent unveiling of the
statue of Frederick the Great,
Presideat Roosevelt spoke of
the composite character of the
people of the United States,
saying:
"We have in our veins the blood
of the taglishmnn. the Welshman
and the Inscmau. the German and
the branchman, lb« Scotchman, the
Dutchman, the .Scandinavian, the
Italian, the Magyar, the Finn, the
Slav, »o that to each ol the great
rvwcn WV can claim a more or leas
dUUnt Viiuhip by Moral; Htxl to
inch strain of Moorl wv owe aotne
particular quality in out national
life or national character."
The Bee, a negro newspaper
published at Washington, says
that the President failed to note
the fact that "there is an ad
mixture of African blood in the
composition of folly two mil
lions of the people of the United
States who arc known and ac
cepted as pure Caucasians." and
that "there is probably a larger
admixture of African blood in
(he composition of the white
people of the United State*
than there is of Italian, Magyar.
Finn or Slav." The Dee fartb«
says that "thousands of instan
ces arc known of men and wo
men, one of whose grand-par
cuts or crest grand-parents were
pure African, who now pass as
white people."
We do not know what founda
tion the colored newspaper bad
for making such a statement,
and we would like to know
what thuse who have studied
questions of race admixture in a
scientific way could . say upon
the subject. The figures given
by the colored paper are as
tounding, and make it more im
perative than ever that there
shoeld be e separation of the
races X this country is to be
saved from hybridisation.

The Supreme Court to-day de

Durham, involving the power of
a public achool board to pre

The board ruled that no child
could attend school unins suc

three yean or vaccinated within
ten days of the opening of

presented her for entrance with,

dangerous to vaccinate her. Ad

outworn—how many souls it has
helped to cast ofl an impairing

Peculiar Case of Insanity.
Aobrrille Cnt. ChmlcUe (Hwrrtr. toll.
Sandy Garden, an old negro
man from the northern section j
of Buncombe connty, was
br>tight to Asheville last even
ing and placed in jail, a raving
maniac. Garden, it is said, has
gone insane over visions of a 1
man whom he slew years ago.
Garden killed a man named
Sheppard in Yancey connty
some 30 or .35 years ago. was
arrested, tried and acquitted,
the plea being self-defense. I
The crime aud the features of
the case have about passed from
the recollection of those of that
day, but to tbe slayer it was not
so. The visions of the murdered
uian and tbe continual thought
of having taken a human life
have so preyed upon Garden i
that tbe strain was so great nnd
he baa gone hopelessly insane.
At the jail Garden is iu a cell
to himself and though at times :
he is apparently sane, those
periods last bat a few moments
and be is again a lunatic devoid :
of reason. He talks of the i
murder incessautlv and prays <
for forgirenest of the crime, de
claring that be can see the in
habitants of the lower regions,

Near the end of the season
our boy announced the height
of our tall maple tree to be
tbirty-tbree feet.
"Why, how do you know?"
was tbe general question.
"Measured.”
"How?"
"You didn't climb that tree,
did you?” bis mother asked
anxiously.
"No’m; I just found tbe
length of tbe- shadow aod
measured that."
"Bat tbe length of the shadow
changes.”
"Yes'm; but twice a day the
shadows an juat aa loug as tbe
things themselves. I've been
trving it all summer. I drove a
stick into the ground and when

shadow was jnst as' long at tbe
tree, and that's thirty-three
