EX-OOVEBIfcn BULLOCK TALKS.
He Tells All He Knows on the Negro
Question.
Rochester, N. Y„ Oct. 25.—Ex-Gov. Ru
fus B. Bullock, who Is a native of Albion,
Orleans county, is visiting In this city.
He has been attending the Episcopalian
church convention In Minneapolis. Colo
nel Bullock went south before the war
and became a colonel In the Confederate
army. In speaking of the Atlanta expo
sition Governor Bullock said: The exhi
bitions show what we of the south have
got, what we can do and what we want
to have done. The fact that the colored
man has been given a place at the ex
position should be especially emphasized,
as this Is the first time such a thing has
occurred.
In regard to the negro problem In the
south he said: “In my opinion we have
passed all those problems In Georgia. At
one time there seemed to be a fear that
the colored man would gain supremacy
In government affairs, but everybody
knows now that the agitation was started
from purely political motives.
“A colored man In the south today is
practically on an equal footing with a
white man, statements to the contrary
notwithstanding. His condition there Is
entirely different from what it Is In the
north. He may avork at the same bench
with the white carpenter or on the same
wall with the white bricklayer. In the
north, as I understand It, the only ave
nues open to him for support are as a
waiter or a barber.
The immigration scnemes wmcn nave
been started as the result of wild dreams
of religious enthusiasts have mostly
failed. We have but a few strikes, and
this. I believe, Js the direct result of the
fact that we have Bettled the negro prob
lem In Georgia. We need the colored
man In the south, and every thinking
white man Is making strenous efforts to
have him stay."
Colonel Bullock spoke of the many out
rages under mob rule which have been
perpetrated on colored men In the south
and was strong In his denunciation of
them. The law. he says, Is the same for
a white man as for a negro, namely that
the crime is punishable by death. But
the horrible mutilation to which these
criminals have been subjected, is, in his
mind, the work of a few lawless men.
Intermarriage between the two races,
Colonel Bullock says, Is amost unknown
in the south.

A Sudden Change.
THE giving way 'of summer to win
ter is often very quickly done,
and unfortunately the giving way of
t$e human beings by this change is
often as sudden and sad. But when
you stop to* think, why should it not
be so? The pores of the skin are
open, the muscles ate r.laxed, the
thermometer falls, t .e winds blow, the
1 ores are closed and the body becomes
chilled, and then you are sick. Now
do you ever stop to think that all this
work is thrown back upon—what? The
kidneys, nothing else. When the skin
does not throw off the waste of the
body by perspiration, the kidneys
must do it, and too often they cannot
stand the sudden strain.
You know, if you are well read and
in touch with the times, that there is
but one cure for any kidney difficulty,
but or.e means of preserving the kid*
neys in health, and that is Warner's
Safe Cure. So wonderful have been
its results, so much has it accom
plished, that physicians, scientists and
the best informed people, both men
and women, throughout the world
have admitted it. If you are suffering
from any form of chill, pa ns in the
muscles, lack of appetite, headache,
or the many ills which come at this
special season, you shou d not delay a
moment, and you are foolish if you
continue to suffer when you can so
readily obtain relief,

Own Coin.
San Francisco Call.
Edgar B. Haymond, one of San Fran
cisco’s barristers, has been a close stu
dent of natural history, and has succeed
ed In gathering some very interesting in
formation regarding the birds of the air,
the beasts of the land and the fishes of
the sea. Incidentally, he has been able
to collect a few snake statistics.
"Ij once knew a case,” said Mr. Hay
moifd to some ready listeners in the Occi
dental hofel last night, "wherein a snake
displayed not only an unusual amount of
affection, but a great deal of courage. It
appears that some years ago a professor
of natural history from an eastern uni
ver»lty was sent to the southern part of
Yucatan to Investigate the snakes of that
section. I might state that he was a
very humane man and frequently dis
played it. One afternoon,,while walking
over a desert, thinking of little but the
time he would arrive at camp, he heard
a peculiar rattling sound that seemed to
come from under a pile of rocks. Me at
once made an Investigation and was re
warded by the discovery of a mastodon
rattlesnake, which he was on the point of
dispatching so as to put It out of misery,
as the rocks had so fallen that a portion
of the snake's body was badly mangled
and torn. In the matter of taking the
reptile's life he hesitated, owing to the
pathetic and pleading expression in the
wounded creature’s eyes.
It quite unnerved him to commit mur
der, so he rolled the rocks off and awaited
results, which came in the shape of very
pronounced gratitude. The delighted
and thankful creature wriggled over to
him rubbed his leg with a grateful air
that was bound to laet. The professor
was moved by this exhibition, and, hav
ing some cotton in'his valise, he bound up
the wounded part and left the snake as
comfortable as possible. The next day
he left Yucatan for Guatemala and was
gone for over five years. On hie return
to Yucatan he had occasion to pass over
the desert, and greatly to his surprise
encountered the same reptile a few miles
from where the previous incident oc
curred. The recognition was mutual,
and the Joyful rattler coiled about his
leg, licked his hand with a friendly
tongue and showed marked and indus
trious appreciation. When the profes
sor took up his march again the snak£
followed him and even Insisted upon geb
ting in the wagon and becoming a regular
occupant.’’- ' *
"Look here, Edgar, ain’t you going a
little too far with that yarn?” Inquired a
friend.
“Not as far as the snake is going. To
continue. He finally got back east, and
had for a travellhg companion the snake,
which was allowed to wander at will.
As a natural consequence, the professor
and his dumb companion became the best
of chums, and It was a common thing to
see the naturalist walking out in the road
with his snake gliding along beside him.
Well—now comes the real point of the
story. One night after the professor had
retired and left the snake downstairs in
the dining room he was suddenly awak
ened by the crash of glass, followed by
the falling of a heavy body. He rose up
In his bed only to hear a groan and the
crushing of bones. In a flash he bounded
Into his dressing gown and repaired to
the room whence came the sounds of
strife. Imagine his horror, on striking a
light, to see his pet snake colled around
a man's bleeding body, which It had
lashed to the stove and was hugging vio
lently. On the floor was a burglar's dark
lantern and a kit of tools, while the
snake, In order to display Its presence of
mind, had his tall out of the window—”
"What for?” Inquired a listener in
breathless excitement.
"Rattling for a policeman."

Faith First,
Selma Times.
The Advertiser Is “as slick as an eel”
in misquoting, when It tries. It says the
Times favors letting “all white men into
the democratic primaries." We were in
viting democrats, men whose political
"feet had well nigh slipped,” back into
the democratic fold. And as an earnest
of sincerity, we made the remark, "If
you will support the nominees. In good
faith, that Is, a good profession of faith,
and you ought to be received into full
fellowship—and we believe you will be.”
We say so still, notwithstanding the Ad
vertiser's objection and demand, “Show
me thy faith without thy works, and I
will show thee my faith by my works.”
Faith is the mainspring of action, both
In a religious life and in secular affairs—
for “works without faltjh is dead.” The
Advertiser Is a regular old Pharisee, hav
ing no use for any man ‘vvfio falls to keep,
literally, the whole law. The prodigal
son never would have taken a step to
ward the home of his youth had he not
had "faith” In the love and forgiveness
of his father, whom he felt he had wound
ed and offended. If you won’t accept the
word of honorable men, we are sorry for
you and your business future. As a mat
ter of practical politics Invite all demo
crats back Into the fold and give them
a hearty welcome. If the press Is not
permitted to Invite wayward democrats
back to the fold, what’si the use lmhaving
a campaign and appointing speakers to
recruit the democratic ranks? No, Mr.
Advertiser, the true “gospel” plan is
"faith” first If you wish faithful adher
ents—then “works is the proof of con
version,” no matter what the Sanhedrim
of the party has taught in the past.
