NO MIRACLE ABOUT IT.
The fortunes of men lie in intelli
gent use of their opportunities. So
it ever Las been ; so it ever will be.
In a few cases, such as discovery of
mines or lucky speculation, fortunes
are realized ; but in the cases of the
great majority the element of chance
cannot be counted on, and they who
are found getting on in the world
will be those who work with intelli
gent and painstaking endeavor, hus
band their resources, use their ac
cumulations with judgment, and
make careful and sound calculation
the basis of all their action.
' Such a course will bring some
measure of success to every man who
pursues it. Fortune, pursued on
such principles, is not partial even to
color. The Atlantic Constitution
has an account of a negro in Georgia,
Barton F. Powell, who has had the
sense to pursue the old-fashioned way
to prosperity, and has reached it. He
started in with running errands for
the stores at Atlanta, and his energy
and fidelity secured him constant em
pk3 ment. Then he had the knack
and the purpose of holding on to his
money. After a while he got work
on a dredge-boat, where his intelli
gent interest in the. work and bis
fidelity to the requirements of the ser
vice again stood him in good stead.
At the age of 20 he was the owner
of 12000, which he invested in 500
acres of pine land in Baker county.
"The white man from whom he
bought it," says the Constitution,
"committed the usual mistake, and
most likely his -$2000 took wings
long ago, while the negro got the
500 acres, which are today worth
three times the monej The new
owner put ten men to work, got the
land in order, planted cottOD, corn
and sugar cane, and cleared the first
year $2500. He has continued to
add to his landed possessions, paying
spot cash for every larm purchased,
and is now the owner of 2100 acres
of land, from which he markets 400
bales of cotton annually. Besides
his success on the farm, he has de
veloped the country supply store
idea, and thus rakes in thousands of
dollars a year. He also owns a com
fortable home in Bainbridge. His
profits last year were over $8000."
There is no miracle in this kind of
thing. The man who has done it in
this case is 32 years of age, and has
been handicapped by his color and
by the prejudice felt against his
race; yet by the sheer force of an in
telligent will he has accomplished
these results. This is the way the
man reasoned when a speculator
sought to buy his possessions by offer
ing a large cash sum :
"I couldn't make as good use of
money as I can of my land. You
see, you are always getting principal
as well as interest back from your
land, and after you get it all back
the land still remains, more valuable
than it was at first. In money you
can only get the interest, and the
principal is always likely to disappear.
Every other kind of property wears
away, but constant use improves
land. There is no such thing as
wearing out land. It must be kept
at work, but rested by different
crops. It is like resting from walk
ing by running a little. You never
sit down, because if you do you will
get stiff and can't pick up your
speed."
His is a career that illustrates what
might be called Poor Richard's sense,
which is much too scarce just now in
every part of the country. It is well
said, indeed, that "it is persons who
ignore the doctrines of Poor Richard
that are round among the pessimists
and swell : the rank of discontented,
the shiftless and the dependent
classes." Oregonian.
DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
Governor Lord came up from
Salem Saturday evening to review
the troops at Hood River. The boys
were turned out in marching order,
with knapsacks, haversacks, blankets
everything necessary to go into a
campaign. The officers were, of
course, on hand, and each of them
had provided, at his own expense, a
uniform suited to his rank. There
was not an officer or private among
the whole 850 men but that felt a
pride in the organization except
Governor Lord.
General Beebe had provided a
horse properly caparisoned for the
use of the governor, as commander
in chief of the Oregon militia; but
instead of coming out in a way that
would have made the boys proud, he
appeared in a slouch hat and civil
ians clothes. Everj' member of the
militia, officers and privates, felt the
slur, and appreciate it at its full
value. They did their duty in at
tending the encampment, and in the
light of the governor's action at
Camp Jackson, we can understand
why he appointed Corbett. He
didn't know any better.

edly strike. It is reported that the

Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centre! in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
aOo or $1.00 per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. (2)
Already on a Strike.
Philipsburgh, Pa., July 3. The
strike called by the United Mineworkere
will not affect the miners in the Central
Pennsylvania coal regions, in some por
tions of which several hundred miners
have been on a strike against a 12 per
cent reduction for a month, notably in
Cambria county.
