SUPREMACY OF THE WHITES.
l4aLucha Insists IL Must Be Guaran-
teed in Cuba

Havana, Sept 1.-All the Havana pa
pers have, until of late, carefully avoided
what the Cubans generally recognize as
the most important question. To-day
however, La Lucha says:
II independence is granted to Cuba. the
graVest problem to be faced and solved
viii be the racial problem. The sunre
macy Of the whites must be guaranteed
IL should be borne in mind bv the ne
SroeS that there can be no social equality
at any time and no political equality un-
III a considerable period has elapsed. Yet
IL must be admitted that negroes who
are numerically the chief element in the
population, starved and fought bravelv
curing the war; while many bespangled
hISh cockalorums. now strutting arounl
havana in gorgeous uniforms, were in
hieAlco or Yucatan, lying about their DO
Htical convictions"
Inc editorial has provoked considera bic
comment, especially at the Union club,
whose members say that ali the anncxa-
uonlsts and protectorate organs have not
zone SO much harm to the cause of Cuba
as the La Lucha has done today. Those
VINO condemn the papers sentiment, say
the racial question should not have been
raised IN any public way until indepcnd-
ehce was assured. On the other hand those
WHO FAVOR annexation, or a protectorate,
consider that the editorial was inspired.
Inc Heraldo protests against the glove
nights that are of nightly occurrence in
Havana. 1t appeals to Col. Bacanao, chief
o. the detective force, and to the military
authorities, TO stop such exhibitions.
The Pueblo says:
Nv nat we cannot understand is the cru
SADIE in favor of union between the Cubaus
and Spaniards that is being carried on by
certain newspapers or do We see any
need Of union. Scarcely nine months
have passed since Spain was shedding in
nocent blood in this island. A people that
could forget the cowardly way IN which
its sons and daughters were hunted down
would be an object of contempt to the
world. The most that can be expected of
Cuoans is that they should pardon the
Spaniards, and not exercise their right of
terrible reprisal"

The Latest Modes In Vogue Among
Negridan DamseIs.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Lieut. Hourst of the French army, has
published a lively personal narrative of
his recent expora tions in West Africa.
With four white companions he pluckily
sailed down the Niger river In an alumni
UNI sailing boat of about seven feet beam,
managing to carry her and her smaller
consorts, manned by friendly natives, the
whole distance from Timbuctoo, past Say
and Bussa, to the sea, without serious
accident or loss of life. The most anus
ing parts of his book are devoted to de-
scriptions of the Negridan ladies', whom
he studied along the river banks. He was
not captivated by their beauty Indeed, he
compares them with Durham oxen, or ne
crosses. who, like English women, when
they are ugly at all, are really devoltingly
ugly"
The corpulent matrons of the Niger
eagerly clad themselves in yards upon
yards of cheap Paris velveteen, but there
were girls of more slender make, whose
sole attempt at dressing was staining
their legs TO the knees with rocou or red
dye. which gives them the appearance at
a distance of wearing nothing but light
red stockings" The gay lieutenant con-
fesses that he was as confused as a shy
Fngishman at the unusual sight; but one
of the red-legged beauties noticing his en-
barrassment remarked very senslby:
Are we so badly made that we need hide
ourselves? All in good time. When we are
old like our mothers we will wear clothes"
This frank explanation seems somewhat
unaccountably, to have put the visitor
at his case.
The men folk likewise have their anus
ing traits A declaration OF war was one
day brought to the lleutenants boat.
While it was being translated NJ. Hourst
covertly watched the ambassador. After
delivering his message he had prudently
sought refuge behind a piece Of rock, but
finding that no notice was taken of him,
he peeped out, first with one eye then
with both eyes, and finally ventured into
the open with the plaintive interrogatory
rs there any hope of my getting a pair
Of breeches?"

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE.
Fighting North Carolina's Heavy
Tax Assessments

Charlotte n. c., Sept IA special
from Asheville tonight to the Observer
states that in the important case of South
ern Railway, the Se4board Air Line. the
Atlantic Coast Line and other roads VS..
the North Carolina corporation commits
sion, the filing of afidavits has been con-
cluded and argument begun
The railroads are applying to Judge ST.
monitor of the federal court for an injunc-
ton against the order of the corporation
commission, assessing the railroads prop
cry in the state for taxation at its full
value. They ask for the injunction on the
ground that
First, the corporation commission has
not the legal power to assess;
Second, on the ground that the consti-
tuition is violated in the order, because it
would make the action unequal, the pri-
vate property of the state not being assess
cd at fun value.
The railroads have introduced as evil
dence many affidavits from people in the
counties in the state, alleging that private
property is assessed at only tWo-thrds
or three-fourths of its real value. The
corporation commission has produced
many more affidavits from persons in the
various counties alleging that private
property is assessed at its full value. The
roads play a strong card in quoting the
state auditor and the state treasurer ia
the effect that private property is not gen.
orally assessed at its full value.
Capt Charles Price, counsel for the
Southern Railway, opened the argument
F. M. Simmons replied for the Corporation
Commission, Many able lawyers are pres
ent representing either side.

death being almost instantaneous. To the
last he refused to betray his companion,
and made no confession. 1t was evident
he did not believe his captors would hang
him. but only thought they were trying
10 extort a confession.
He told a number of stories, ali differ,
chi the last being that his uncle, old man
Henry Boynton. and an unknown negro
had committed the crime. Boynton has
been very active in trying to shield the
criminals. and rumor says he has already
beeu dealt with. The story of Hender-
aon is uot given any credit.
contrary to the general rule, Hender-
son did not think he was going straight

or hell one. and prayed to go to heaven.
The crowd could scarcely be styled a
mob. and was as quiet and orderly as if
attending a legal execution. No insult
or indlgnity was offered the prisoner NoI
mask was worn, not shout or curse
uttered and not a shot fired, even while
the body was swinging. Not a lantern
or torch was visible, only the silent.
twnkling stars lighting the quiet scene.
Alter the execution, all silently dispers-
ed. but a determined search is being made
for the real ravisher, to whom Henderson
was only an accomplice.
Mrs. Johnson's identification, corrobor-
ated by that of the little boy, could not
have been more complete. She described
minutely the clothes he wore, which were
afterwards found at his home and identi-
fed by her.
A telephone message came to Triton
about o'clock last night, saying the ne
eroos were arming themselves and assemD-
ling in swamp and asking for help and
ammunition. A special train was charter
ed and about forty men, carrying arms,
boxes of cartridges and bags of buckshot,
reached Ty Ty about 1920. Similar mes
and twenty men at the latter place tagged
the east-bound express freight, took pos
session, and soon reached the scene of
trouble only to find all quiet.
The alarm had spread eastward, and sew
eral armed parties from Willacoochee, AL
apaha and other places came in on the
midnight train. All is now quiet at Ty Ty.
