An application has been made by S.
leading colored citizens of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, for a charter for the Ma
tional American Colonization Associa-
ton, the object being to organize
branches in the southern states. The
association is formed with view to
colonizing negroes in the west and Sc
curing from congress a concession to
allow the colonies SO formed the right
of state government and representa-
tives in congress, etc. The plan was
organized by S. l.. Hutchins, negro
lawyer, who has given the question OF
What to do with the negro?" a great
deal Of study. Hutchins was a circuit
Judge in North Carolina during the
reconstruction days, and It is said OF
him that he came nearer to giving sat
isfaction to the whites in his circuit
than any negro who ever held a like
Office. Hutchins gives a reason for
his proposed colony that "the people
OF the United States should be given
an opportunity to see whether the ne
gro is capable OF governing and hold
ing Office" The application for char
ter says that at is not fair to Judge
OF the negros ability to conduct pub
lie affairs, to Judge him by the fail
ures he has made in Office in the
south. Given an opportunity when
they are altogether dependent upon
themselves, the negro will solve the
question speedily as to whether he is
worthy Of citizenship and to be an in
tegral part of the governing people"
Hutchins claims that a number of the
leading negroes Of the south are in
sympathy with him in the movement.
At the dedication of an immense

The burdens of taxation laid upon
liquor saloons are regarded with
equanimity by the average citizen. The
decision of the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue requiring the payment of
a special tax by proprietors of rum sa-
looms who may employ an orchestra
to attract customers will be accepted
as justifSble and exemplary. The per-
formance is held to be musical enter
tainment liable to taxation. A source
of misery may be protected by law, but
its maintenance ought to be discour-
aged in all legal ways.

Well here I am in foreign land,
vet it is hard to realize / am so far
from all the dear ones in Maryville.

Thursday morning and even in this
short time have seen SO much
strange and curious to me that 1t

left st Petersburg last Tuesday. Set
sail from Port Tampa Wednesday
forenoon, on the steam ship
"FIorada" laden with Government
supplies. Thursday morning we ar
rived at Havana, after most
pleasant trip on water. The wealth
er was perfect and the Gulf so calm
that the motion of the vessel was
scarcely perceptible, so all the trip
was unqualified pleasure each hour,
as we stemaed over the Gulf bring
ing its attactions. The U. s. Battle
ship, Indiana, Texas, Mass, New
York, and so on s in number Samp-
sons fleet were ranged in line in
Havana Harbor, and we passed by
close to them receiving salutes, also
passed within few yards of the
grave of the poor old Maine, where
SO many of our gallant seamen met
their untimely death. Was surpris-
ed to see how close to the city docks
she lay and what mighty explo-
sion must have revibrated over
the city and even more impressed
with the dastardlyness of the deed.
The battle ships think are merely
staying here to be away from the
rigors of the northern climate, and
are near enough for any emergency
call that might be made. Two
French war vessels are also here,
and the harb0r is full of many
merchant vessels from many direc-
tions. Havana is big bustling
city population of 100000 being
reckOned, and it surely looks it, for
crowds throng the streets which
every way one turns. I am much
pleased with it and feel like repeat

the devastating. evidences of war

wages high. A city that in all its
principal thoroughfare, is clean
and modern in many respects. On
the old part Of the city where the
streets are narrow and crooked
and perhaps 250 years old and the
common class is much crowded,
there is much dirt and filth, but
the new government are working
herculean efforts to clean up and
teach the inhabitants habits of
cleanliness. / took a walk this

their Easter holidays with relatives on

The base ball team is feeling proud
over great victory, but is not pulled
up as the great victory business has
been chronic with the college for sew
eral years. We've cracker jack OF
a team this season, and they well de-
serve the solid support of the NIL

Last Saturday Turnbull rounded up
his contingent and with about fifty
rooters took the K. & A. Vestibuled
Cannonball to Knoxville to meet the
little crowd from the American Tee
totaler's University at Hartman.
The Maryville team is strong one
and when the game started they pull
ed out like the Giants in a close shave
with the Orioles, and consequently
M. c. had nine runs to her credit in
the first inning. 1t took but one in.
ming to show what she was bucking
and SO settled down and took it easy
the rest Of the game. When our boys
are RUNNING bases they 60 like a
"whlrllng gust of peckerwoods," so
when A. T. U. saw the diamond
bounded by a red stripe and Praether
grinring like a Gargoyle from right
field they perceived that they were
Jonahed and YEARLY yielded to fate
and accepted their Easter souvenir of
four cucksoo's eggs. Not SO with the
Maryville delegation, the convention
was theirs and they run it to suit
themselves. Good boy Hockey
his victims were legion; and good
boy McTeer, and good boys all. If
1914 isn't O. X. tell us what is. It's
too bad that the Hartman boys had
never played ball, for it is hard for
team that has never played anything
but "Two cornered cat" with a clap
board and yarn ball to make lasting
impression on a college team. We
would like to see them line up with
Porter Academy once for they could
do that team up brown and would be
in their own class.
DR.. S. T. Wilson is quite ill and
unable to meet his classes. His wife,
mother and two daughters are also
seriously ill. The students extend to
the Professor and his family their sim
cere sympathy and trust that they
may have speedy recovery to good
health.
The Senior Class had their spring
vacation this week, It's to be hoped
that they wont have another till after
commencement for they've made 9TH
er folks SO tired listening 10 their tales
of needed rest, commencement theses
and committee meetings.
