OVER ONE MILLION,

Over one million negroes are now
being educated in the public schools
of the south. Georgia herself pro-
poses to devote one-half million
dollars this year to the experiment.
She proposes to pay out of her treas
ury more for the education of the
negroes than the whole machinery
OF the state government costs.
What do you think of this? What
ever question there maybe about the
future of the race, or his geographi.
cal focus as people, that of his
education, or rather the education
of him bids fair to be soon solved.
An experiment undertaken on
such grand scale and conducted at
such tremendous cost, cannot
long be a doubtful one. What in
creased momentum, if any, this
prodigious outlay on education will
give the cotton hoe and pIow, the
shovel and the spade, and the cotton
hook in the hands of our colored
remains the question.
Whether the negro will love home
work, the farm better, and those
practices best which for a quarter
of century past has been fast gray
itating his race in the direction of
the Jail and the changing, is the
question. Whether they will con-
tinue to flock to our towns and cities
and by the crash of numbers crowd
each other out O! existence and seek
their living by chance jobs and free
dom to low work, or whether they
will cleave to the farm where their
greatest conquest has been achieved,
is the question. Athens Ledger.

sonality is not lacking 1t is found in c.
w Williams, the master Of Rush park,
where the meeting was held. His history,
In its way, is as remarkable rs the record
Of the track which he owns. He Is one Of
the young men who has made fame and
fortune In the west 1t was but thirty
four years ago that he was born In New
York state. When eleven years old his
family moved to Iowa, settling near Inde-
pendence.
In 1875 he was running a milk wagon in
Chicago. In 1876 he learned telegraphy
and was an operator for a time. Two
years later he started a creamery in indie
pendence anil shortly afterward estab-
lished the Charles Creamery company in
Chicago. He made some money, but he
felt that he had not hit his calling. Sub
sequent events show that his feeling was
right. In some way his attention was led
to the turf. He bought some land near In
dependence and made the beginning Of
Rush park. This was but five years ago.
by a stroke OF good luck, or as a result
OF good judgment in breeding, the first two
colts foaled on]his farm were Axtell and
Allerton. In the long history of the turf
these are the only two horses that, as
3 year olds, could beat 2:20. They made
VII Jams fortune. Two years ago he sold
Axtell, who held the worlds stallion rec
ord for year-olds-2:l2-for $105, 900, the
largest sum ever paid for n single horse.
With the proceeds Of this sale Williams
was enabled to realize his fond ambition
TO have great stock farm and a great
race track. This dual ambition is en-
bodied in Rush park. 1t has come to be,
with jump, one of the first Of American
breeding farms for trotters, and its kite
shape track. original with Williams, is the
fastest in either hemisphere. The first
great trotting meeting was held on 1t in
August, 1890. In the annals OF harness
speed it stood unrivaled until the meeting
OF this year. II the history OF the track is
to be one OF progression, OF which its own
err is sanguine, the most speculative Amer
lean will hardly venture prediction as to
trotting records Of the future.
Williams is a man of pluck and nerve.
lie is a planner and thinker of the most
practical sort He brings things to pass.
In view OF his achievements it is not hard
To agree with him in the belief that the
things which he has done are but fore
cast Of the things which he will do. He
proposes to make OF the prairie town Of
Independence the most conspicuous point
In the trotting world. and there are many
who think that he will succeed.

In the event par excellence of the meet,
the race for the 5-year-old stake of 5000,
Nancy Hanks, with Allerton and Margaret
: as competitors, made the heats in 212,
2l2'4 and 2:l2 respectively. These are the
fastest three heats ever trotted in race on
any track in the world. Monbars beat the
. year-old stallion record, made by Regal
Wilkes in 2:3Os4, by going mile in 200.
Faustine made the three fastest heats ever
trotted by 2-year-old stallion in race,
taking them in 2:lSI.. 2:l7 and 2:lS15. The
great Nelson came to the home of AXtell
ana Allerton, his associates in the trium-
virate OF speed, and equaled what was
then the worlds stallion record, made by
himself, by covering mile in 2l0sl.
Not many days later on the same track
Allerton wrested from Nelson his hard
earned worlds laurels by covering a mile
in 2:l0, but Nelson did not allow Allerton
to long claim supremacy, for on Sept. IS
ut Grand Rapids, Mich, the great Maine
stallion was driven by his owner. c. II. Mel
son, in 2:l0 also. Then came the greatest
triumph Of the kite shaped track. Sept.

thus again taking first place, for a time at
least.
How natural it is in considering the ex-
traoxiinary achievements on the indie
pendence track to associate them in a
casual way with some strong, directing
personality. In this instance such a per-
