DIR. Stubs An b ton

DIR. Stnbhs' WAS interviewed the
other day by the Reno Journal in re-
gard to Gatters pertaining to the
State University. In tho course of
the interview he spoke as follows re.
garding the report that he intended
resigning the Presidency Of the State
University in order to accept high
er position elsew here:
Nothing could be farther from nv
intention, it is truly strange how
such stori les originate. Only one
thing could influence me to sever my
connection with the University and
that is the pocitlve knowledge that the
State is unable and unwilling to assist
in the education of its young men
and women.
@My one great ambition is to see orr
State University rank third among
the colleges of the west; to see it hold
the same position W regard to Berke-
ley and Stanford as does Amherst tu
Yale and Princeton. Amherst is not
so large AS Yale or Princeton, it's ro&-
ter numbers only three or four hun
dred students, more than this is not
allowed. yet when tie Amherst grad
uate stands beside the Yale graduate

SOUTH AMERICAS MUD STORMS.
Blows the Cars From the Tracks.
Sails Put ON FreighL Trains.

A correspondent in South America
gives the following account of the great
dust storms which prevail there at diff
ferent periods of the year:
Among the discomforts of riding in
the Argentine are those which come
from the wind 1t blows on the pampas
at times with all the force of a Kansas
blizzard. am told that while the road
from Buenos Ayers to Mendoza was
building the cars were sometimes blown
off the track, and that it was customary
to put sails Oh the freight trains and all
low the wind to push them along over
the rails. This, however. doubt, as
am prone to do with other stories told
here in this land of luxury, laziness and
lies.
81 do not doubt, however, the stories
as to the dust. There is 40 land where
the dust blows more than it does here.
The dust storms are thicker than snow
storms. They sometimes stop the cars,
filling the grades Iand cuttings so that
you need pillow to get through. Dur
ing storm few years ago it took
1000 men week to clear the track of
one of the roads.
''Such dnst storms sometimes obscure
the sun and if a rain comes while the
dust is in the air it brings down show
er of mud, which paints the houses and
fences and everything else with sticky
mass. If the rain Continues the wood is
secured clean by the mud, but if not it
is left in most deplorable condition.
IL have heard of dust storms which
have filled the floors Of the cars, the
dust being so fine that it went through
the windows and doors, and l know to
my sorrow that such storm will coat
your face and clothes in ten minutes
with thick coat of dirt, and make
white man and Indian, African and eau
casian of the same gray complexion. 1t
will cause your lips to crack and coat
your tongue so that you feel as though
you had been biting into one of the ap-
pies of Sodom, and had gotten there.

THE "BEAUTIFUL" SNOW.
More Impurities in a Flake of 1t Than
Any Other Production of Like Size.

The adjective beautiful has been
used as proper descriptive word for
snow since the poet first assayed to de-
scribe it ID fitting rhymes. And so it
is in appearance. But perhaps it is
interesting to remember that possibly
a fake of snow contains more impuri
ties than almost any other production,
of like size, of natures great work
shops. BY means of that mysterious
physical force, known as capillary at
traction, the hundreds of little tubes
in fake of snow are filled with the
impure yapOrs and gases which rise
from the earth, given off by decaying
vegetable matter.
These areal impurities are imprison-
ed in the snow fakes cells, and thus
the air is literally cleaused and puri-
fed. 1t is a benediction to the lungs
to breathe the pure air after a snow
storm. And still another benefcent
work it done by the snow fake. Many
of those vapors and gases which the
snow fake bring back to the soil are
rich in food necessary for plant life,
and the soil is made more productive.

THE NEGRO JOHN BROWN KISSED.
He Is Still Alive, and Has Never Per-

One verse of poem by Whittier, the
abolitionist poet, runs:
John Brown of Ossawatomie, they led
him out to die,
And 10! poor slave mother with her
little child pressed nigh,
And the bold blue eyes grew tender and
the old harsh face grew mild,
AS he stood between the jeering ranks
and kissed the negrO's child.
What went with the pickaninny that
was kissed by John Brown? A CORES
spondent of the Pittsburg Disp atch says
that he (for it was boy is still alive;

that his name is Owen Carter. aged 43
and is as black as the ace of spades. The

WHITE CAPPERS AT WORK.
Gang TerrOrizes a Portion of Early
and Miller Counties,


A special to the Atlanta Journal from
Colquitt says:
A white-cappers' league has been orr
ganized in Miller and Early counties,
and the gang is terrorizing the law abid-
ing people of this section by their
threats and deeds of outlawry. The
gang have issued an order that no negro
shall live in the section in which the
whits-cappers are at work, and the white
people have been notified that negroes
shall not remain on their places under
penalty of violence.
Thestate of anxiety is intense in this
section, and the law-abiding people
have asked Governor Gambler to take
steps to suppress the outlaws, who con-
tinue to threaten and intimidate the
people of this section.
1t will be remembered that only a
short time ago gang of men went to
the home of ]. P Rustin and there shot
him and his son Virgil Rustin dead be-
cause they were prosecuting a man who
had wronged Miss Rustin. A number
of the members of this gang have been
sent to the penitentlary and it is ex-
pected that other arrests will be made

because of Its beautiful grain, bright

recognized as one of the most desirable

and is of an inferior quality even for
that purpose. At the present rate the
pine forests Of southern Georgia will
have become but a memory within the
next fifty years. But the men who are
destroying the timber now care little
about the condition of things half a
century hence, preferrlng to profit by
the present hour.
No thoughtful man can look upon
the destruction of the magnificent
timber without deplorlng the waste.
So far the state authorities have given
the matter no consideration. The 'av.
erage Georgia legislator has his mind
occupied with some dog law, or statute
governing the fishing in some insig-
nificant stream, rather than with such
momentous questions as the protection
of forests and timber lands.
In abiding to the climatic changes
caused by theydenudation of the forests

change that has taken place within
the last twenty-five years, In a re-
cent trip through that section 1 was
struck with the fact that many of the
streams supposed to be perennial, and
many of the lakes and pools that con-
tanned water all the year round, had
dwindledS down to mere riv-
ulets and sloughs, dry half the year or
more. Never-failipg springs of former
days have disappeared entirely, and in
talking with old citizens who were ia.

country from boyhood | was assured
that the shrinking of the water courses
was coincident with the cutting away
of the timber.
It's strange, in view of these PLAIN
facts, that no effort has been made to
stop the vandalism that is slowly but
surely reducing that fair section to a
desert. Now and then some far-sight-

timber, and such green spots are tike

GRIGGS' RESOLUTION.

DIERS AND SAILORS.

Democratic congressman Meet in Caucus
and Agree Upon Party Policy Regarding
the Philippines. The Bacon Resolution
Adopted.
At meeting of democratic members
OF the house of representatives. held in
Washington few nights ago, the fol-
lowing declaration of policy and resolu>
tions as to the Philippines were adopted:
''We hold that the constitution of the
United States was ordained and es-
tablished for an intelligent, liberty-lov-
ing and self>governing people, and can
not be successfully applied to a people
OF different virtues and conditions We
therefore hold that colonial policy is
contrary to the theory of our govern.
ment and subversive to those great prn.
ciples of civil liberty which we have
been taught to cherish. We believe
with the declaration of independence
that all governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and we are unalterably opposed
to the establishment of any government
by the United States without the cons
sent of the people to be governed, and
in conformity with these principles we
instruct the minority members of the
foreign affairs committee to introduce
and urge the following resolutions:
"Resolved, That the United States
hereby dsclaim any disposition or in
tention to exercise permanent sover-
eighty, jurisdiction or control over the
Philippine islands and assert their de-
termination when an independent gov
eminent shall have been erected therein
to transfer to said government, upon
terms which shall be reasonable and
just, all rights secured under the ces-
sion by Spain and thereon to leave the
government and control of the islands
to their people"
Another resolution, by Mr.. Griggs
of Georgia, was adopted as follows:
"We, the democratic members of the
house of representatives., in caucus as
sembleti, commend the signal loyalty
and valor of our soldiers and sailors in
the performance of every military duty
to which they have been assigned by
proper authority, however much we
may deplore the policy of the adminis~
tratiOn directing their movements; and
we pledge to them our hearty support
and sympathe under all circumstances,
wherever engaged"
The following resolution, by Mr. Liv.
ingston, of Georgia, was lost:
"ResOlYed, That the United States
congress, as soon as the treaty between
this government and Spain is ratified,
give notice to the inhabitants of the
Philippines that it is not our desire or
purpose to hold them under permanent
military control or as a colonial sub,

tween us. In the meantime we shall

under the circumstances
The meeting began at s p. m. and
lasted until nearly midnight The at
tendance was large, and little division
of sentiment was manifested on the
general features of the resolution.
