light to the workers. 1t was before the

quit work, all lamps were blown out

Fred Stortz, the next witness, is an en-
plOye of Graf and occupies room in the
rear OF the saloon as a sleeping apart

the burglary, he said:

\ SOUTHERN EXPOSITION AND
THE NEGRO.

In the midst of the most trying hard
times ever known to the country, the
South makes ready for great exposition
to be held at Atlanta next October, and
the buildings are already under way. It
is 10 be primarily cotton exhibition, but
it is to take in all production and manu-
facture and all the mechanic sciences and
most of the high arts. 1t is to embrace
also State and foreign exhibits, several
parliaments, as those of manufacturers,
those of good roads, of commerce, of edu-
caIion, etc.
The South has gone into the matter
with "a great deal of enthusiasm, and is
the result of good times in that section.
There has been very little distress there,
the crops have been abundant, Florida
alone suffering; there have been no
strikes and no serious commercial failures,
nor is there any abnormal distress; in fact
local conditions in the South, while to
some extent sympathetically affected by
hard times elsewhere, are very good.
Were it not so, no venture as is now in
preparation at Atlanta would be possible.
In this connection we have news of a
rather interesting incident. There is to
be building devoted to examples OF
handicraft and production by negroes
unaided, and it is predicted that this ex-
bibit will ha q Creat SDrpriCa ro tho rvho1 q
country. The negro population has al
ready taken hold of the matter with great
energy and in fine spirit. When the
building was planned it was agreed. says
the Chief of Construction. that only negro
labor would be employed. The compe-
tition was open to all contractors, how
ever, and bids were submitted by two
white firms and one of colored men. The
negroes underbid the white men by
several hundred dollars, and they re-
ceived the award.
This was clean, clear-cut issue be-
tween white and colored contractors, and
the negroes won on their own merits.
The Chief says the firm ia perfectly COM
petent to do the work, and he has every
confidence in it's proper execution. This
incident will act as powerful stimulus
| to further excite the interest of negroes
in the negro exhibit. In some States
they are thoroughly organized, and they
will soon be at work for an exhibit in
every Southern section. In Virginia, we
are told, there are fifty-six local organi-
| cations, each of which will give three
/ entertainments between now and June
| to raise money for the collection OF ex-
! hibits. Similar organizations are to be
effected in all Southern States, and this
work will be in charge of Commissioners
chosen from among the leaders of the
race. And yet how brief the time since
these busy men and women preparing
to exhibit proof of their skill were slaves
and. mainly. unskilled workers.

quency the directors are to sue the delin-
quents and sell them out under iudg-
ment of the proper court. There appears
to be no period provided within which
redemption may be made, as in other
cases of process for the collection of
taxes.
We are Of the belief that the people
Will distrust this part of the scheme, and
nno In 1t strong reasons for urging the
Legislature not to pass the bill. The
right to elect their own Assessors and
lax Collectors is one the people have
always jealously guarded. 1t is by no
mean clear that the Legislature has the
power to impose taxation upon district
through the means of Assessors and
Collectors in whose selection the people
nave had no voice. When the people re-
nect that by this Act the Governor ap-
points the Commissioner of Public
Works, whose judgment is to be sole,
supreme, irrevocable as to what work
shall be done, to what extent and at what
cost; that the Governor is to appoint the
Division Directors, who are 10 tax the
people through the agency of still other
Commissioners named by the Governor,
and that the tax assessment on the basis
OF such distribution is to be made by an
Assessor named by the directors, and the
money collected by Collector not of the
peoples choosing, they will very likely
conclude that they are being deprived of
lnalienable rights and submitted to pro-
cesses that may dispossess them of their
property without that due process of law
contemplated in the scheme of govern
ment by the governed" so to speak.
That improved drainage OF the great
Sacramento Valley is a necessity, goes
without saying; that its accomplishment
will be of inestimable benefit to this city,
is but to state truth: that it will have
the effect of adding vast sum to asses
sable values, everyone knows; that it
Will greatly promote the work of perma-
nently improving the navigability and
restoring the integrity of the rivers, is
not to be questioned; but we are very
much mistaken if it does not develop that
the scheme of Senate Bill 571 is in oppo-
sition to the judgment of the people most
closely related to the proposed work, and
that it will be deemed bythem unnecessary
distrust of them and deprivation of their
right to be consulted in the choice of their
assessors and all others who are to exer-
else the power of eminent domain, fix
values upon their property and collect
the taxes levied on that basis through the
compulsory processes of the courts.
We have not herein considered the
plans reported by the Commissioner of
Public Works and his engineers, for con-
trolling and discharging the flood waters
of the Sacramento Valley: but if it is
true that the amelioration of the condi-
ton of the great rivers of the valley, and
consequently the success of the drainage
system proposed, is dependent upon the
stopping of the flow of sand, silt and
gravel into the streams, as the engineers
declare and the Commissioner repeats is
true, why set up the drainage machinery
at all, or go to all the expense of prepara-
ton for it, until the flow of sand, silt and
gravel into these streams is ended?

canoe swayed, tottered, and upset. In
confused mass, Mile Bushell and Charlie
were hurled into the water. Victor and
Uncle Van, hardly five yards from the
steps, turned in amazement.
|Heip heip" screamed Millie.
"Help!" echoed Charlie. II can't hold
her up. Victor, come and help me! Uncle
Van, come alongl"
"The deucer' murmured Uncle Van.
"Quick, quick!' called Charlie; and
Victor with vexed laugh, peeled off his
coat and jumped in. Mr.. Vansittart stood
with puzzled air. Then happy thought
struck him. He turned and trotted back
the way he had come. He would get a
rope!
AS he went, as Victor reached the
strugglers in the water, slim figure in
white, with smile on her face, stole
cautiously from the temple and disap-
peared in the wood behind. Charlie saw
morselessly tight toward the other bank
And that was the last he saw of the
Lady of the Pool.
Mile Bushell landed her dripping
clothes clinging round her. Victor was
shivering, for the evening had turned
chilly. Uncle Van had bit of rope from
the boatshed in his hand and a doubtful
smile on his face.
"We'd best get Miss Bushen home" he
suggested, and they started in gloomy pro-
cession. Charlie, in remorse, gave Mile
his arm.
"Oh, how could your" she murmured
piteously. She was cold, she was wet and
she was sure that she looked frightful.
'I-I-didn't do it on purpose" Charlie
blurted out eagerly.
"On purpose. Well, 1 suppose not, she
exclaimed, bewlldered
Charlie flushed. Victor shot swift
glance at him.
Half way home they met Mrs. Marland,
and the whole affair had to be explained to
her. Charlie essayed the task
"Still, don't see how you managed to
upset the canoe" observed Mrs. Marland.
"No more do /, said Victor Sutton.
Charlie gave it up.
'I'm SO sorry, Millie," he whispered.
''You must try to forgive me-"
! So once again the coast was left clear for
| Agatha Merceron if she came that night.
But, whatever she did, the other Agatha
! came no more, and Charles great resolve
went unfulfilled. But the next evening he
went alone TO the temple, and he found
| lying on the floor little handkerchief
| trimmed with lace and embroidered with
the name of Agatha" This he put in his
pocket thanking heaven that his desperate
maneuver had kept the shrine inviolate

Has she ?" asked Charlie
| No one pursued the subject, and after a
moments pause, Mrs. Marland, who was
sitting next to Charlie, asked him in a low
voice whether he had been to the Pool that
| evening.

ooh, poor dear Miss Bushellr' laughed
Mrs. Marland, and when Charlie looked
inquiringly at her she shock her head.
