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 cided an important case, from Durham, involving the power of a public achool board to pre scribe rules as to vaccination. The board ruled that no child could attend school unins suc cessfully vaccinated within three yean or vaccinated within ten days of the opening of sehool. The parents of the girl presented her for entrance with, s doctor's certilcate that it was dangerous to vaccinate her. Ad mission was refused.

Mora Ganolaa Christianity lha Rood ol (ha Vorld To-day. Editorial In lh« CciKiur. It is more, and not lest Christianity that the world needs as between peoples and between people in diplomacy, in public and private business, in all affairs of the State, tlic faintly, and the individual. I'a selfish kindness, helpfulness, courtesy, geutlcuianlines*, liou arable dealings among men — these are all practical versions ol tlic Golden Rule, aud genuine products of the sermon on the mount In the secret soul there are apprehension* of the hidden truth, the deep humanity, of even the dogmas which are *u often spoken of nowadays, with scornful aud superior criticism by those who have not studied tlicir philosophical significance or felt their meaning in apirilnal experience. The doctrine of atonement, by so many deemed outworn—how many souls it has helped to cast ofl an impairing and degrading past, some on cnmberiug sin of the inherited flesh! How many, in dashing aside, the shell of form nnd tradition, despoil themselves of some inner treasure, fit and needful for the spirit's food. More, and not less, of genuine Christianity fa the need of this world. Kvery intelligent religion may have something to impart to those horn in t'hriiii. aoity; but those so born, and the nation thus cradled, will arrive at nobler destinies in the increasing endeavor to follow the spirit of the teachings of the world’s one inimitable prophet. 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, ■au urc image oi me man wnoui i be killed. Every little while i be will cry out tint lie can see i Sheppard; that the innn ia com ing after biin, aud that he can are ghost* all the time. -—— i A Clever Bay. Return Itdstt. I 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.
