Broom corn is planted like sor-

molasses press, that is, 3 to 6
inches apart. In the rich val-
leys of the Brazos and Colorado
rivers it needs but two plowings.
If it is plowed when quite small,
it need not be chopped out. The

"The Committee for Improv-
ing the Industrial Condition of
the Negroes in New York, com-
posed of representatives of both
races, asks that you aid fn laying
the following facte before the
colored people in the Soqth.
That in northern cities there
are fewer opportunities for em-
ployment for negroes f
the South, especially at the
present time, when many of all
races are out of work.
That in northern cities the
lodgings available for negroes
are inferior, as far as sunlight
... ventilation are concerned,
hke the leaders of the demo- and that the rente are excessive.
That the climate in the North,
to persona bred in the South, is
severe, causing illness and high
mortality among the colored peo
pie.
That the moral condition of «he
negroes in northern cities tea
matter of grave concern, the

followed by a rise in tin- pulse
rale sometimes to several limes
the normal rate. Purging and
extreme emaciation follow, and
death ensues from an overwork-
ed heart and general weakness;
white the tempature and heari,
action continue high, the animal
grows constantly weaker and
its extremities become cold.
It is believed that there are
three distinct poisons in the
>, oleander leaf; no antidote has
been d i s c o v e red. Oleander
leaves may easily become mixed
accidentally with grass taken
from lawns, or with ordinary
fodder in barns and bins. They
should be watched for very care-
fully.
And the investigators advise
that children be early taught not
to put the leaf or any part of the
oleander in or about their
mouths. Inhere is no telling how
many of the hitherto unexplained
deaths of little children -from
maladies imperfectly diagnosed,
may be due to this cause. It is
not at all improbable that a cow
might eat a small portion of the
leaf and poison its milk without
becoming dangerously sick it-
self; and children not properly
warned might easily take the
poison direct from the growing
plant.

The Doctor Habit
--------------- ■ >
One of the tendencies of ill 2
health is to make one morbid.
People who arp constantly think-
ing about their ailments, worry-
ing about their troubles, suffer-
ing pain, often develop a morbid
passion for sympathy. They
want to fell everybody of. their
aches and pains, to describe
their symptons.
Wo note from the
papers that Hon. W. C. Davis
has reconsidered • his intention
of running for the State Senate:
and will now stand for reelection
to the House of Representatives.
He was induced to do this at the
earnest solicitations of friends
and fellow-members throughout
the State who desire to run him
for Speaker. Davis is well
qualified to fill the position and
we hope the gentleman will be
successful.

negro is combi ned I and t he real
reason for his migraiion to the
North. No where is the negro
understood so perfectly in the
South. His nature and habits
are known of all men, and to"pay
no attention to the general ig-
norance of the negro is an un-
disputed characteristic of the
true Southerner. The negro is
always made to understand his
place and the control thus exer-,
cised is good for him. It is a
rare case when it becomes neces-
sary for a white man, horn and
raised in the South, to use force
with any Southern n eg-yo..
There is perfect understanding
between them and it is only
when one or the other of them is
not originally of the South that
friction occurs. There have 6een
rare instances when it became
necessary to use strenuous
measures with obstreperous
blacks, but this seldom occurs.
