It required less than six hours for local committees to raise enough funds here to insure a big Fourth of July celebration. More money is said to be waiting for the asking. In regard to the coming observance of the national day, tho Elgin Recorder goes on to say: Yes, Elgin will celebrate. And this year the annual big event will be observed in a ' manner never before equalled in this part of the country, according to the talk of the .business men who are taking an interest in the matter. They want everybody in Union county to take notice and come to this city and have the time of their lives. The matter was definitely decided last Monday night, when a number of the citizens met with the band and talked it over. Everyone present was for it unanimously, but the mem bers of the band did not desire to take the whole matter on their shoulders, but were anxious to start the ball rolling. The first matter mid a committee consisting of L. A. Stoop, C. S. Fine and C. E. Mays was appointed to make a canvas of the business men of the city and see how much money could be raised.

If one race assumes the right to appropriate all the wealth, why should not the other races feel ill used mid protest? It the yellow races are oppressed by the white races and have to re volt to nvonl congestion and maintain existence, whose fault is it but the aggressor's? If the white races truly love pence and wish to deserve the name of Christian nations, they will prac tice what they preach mid will soon restore to us the rights so long withheld. They will rise to the generosity of welcoming our citizens among them as heartily ns we do theirs among us. We appeal to the white races to put aside their race prejudice -ind moot us on equal terms In broth erly co-operation. Professor No gai. EPITAPH ON ELIZABETH.
