the peasants, or gibaros, 400, 600. The
colored are mixed (mestizos) The pea
SAINTS. or gibaros, with the mestizos and
blacks, together form the class of unskilled
laborers They are miserably poor, and
literally live from hand to mouth. Their
cabins or ''shacks, - are set on poles driven
into the ground, the floor being raised a
few feet
Out of 800, 600 there are III !, $50 who

THE HOME OF STORMS.
In the Winter Months a Terrific Sea
Is Hurled Against Names Shores.
From Golfers Weekly.

From COlllerS weekly.
The gulf of Maine is a geographical di-
vision not marked on average maps, for it
is chiefly referred to in scientific rreatises
on the general subject of the tides. 1t is
formed by the great curve of the Ameri-
can coast from Cape Race, the eastern ex-
tremitv of Newfoundland, westward and
southwark to Cape Cod and Nantucket
Into this curve during normal conditions
of sea and air 4 current sets pcrpetually
from the far north known as the Labrador
current. 1t makes Its way southwark in
side of the gulf stream and cools the water
even in summer as far as Nantucket sound
In the winter months when northerly
winds prevail 4 terrific sea Is hurled against
those rock bound shores, and where rocks
are wanting the the sands are torn up and
shifted. forming islands and new bars here
and there, involving the shifting Of
myriads of tons in a single day that may
mean destruction to the unwary or even TO
the most wary Of navisators.
Newfoundland aud Nova Scotia reach
well out into the track of these gales. and
theoretically it would seem that their bold
headlands might form something of a lee
along the shores Of Maine and down per
hans almost as far as Nahaut But in
point of fact they seem 10 have little eff
feet. Possibly the wind is drawn out of
its general direction somewhat by the con-
formation Of the shores. but at any rate
when a northeaster is blowing there is very
little shelter to be found except in the
landlocked harbors or behind the islands
that are fortunately frequent in thi> ex-
posed region.

There is no better killing agent for the
insects of the poultry house and cabbage
field than the foliage of the tobacco plant,
and there is not farm or garden from the
New York State line south, but on which
enough could be grown for the purpose,
and not miss the ground occupied. The
leaves hung in closets or packed with cloth
ing will prevent loss from insects, and it is
said reaches and other bugs of the house
will not stay where the leaves are stored.
It was an old Roman maxim that the good
farmer never purchases that which he can
grow upon his land.

New York, June %.

To the Editor of the Sun-Sir de-
sire to say | know personally Mr.. Jones,
who captured Sam Rose. Sam 5 mother
cooks for Jones now, near Marshallville,
Ga. He told Jones and DR.. Niles all
about the rape before he was taken to
Newman. The detectives story is false
The woman will yet go to the asylum; she
will not recover from the shock. Her
baby, slung upon the floor, will be an
idiot. The remedy, in my opinion, is for
change Of attitude of the Northern press
toward negroes They believe the North
is behind them, and to the extent that,
in case of a race war, the North would
help them instead of us. Such is their
idea. All the harsh criticisms from North
ern papers are reproduced in our negro
papers, and the effect on negroes is awful.
Let the Northern press undeceive the ne
groes and show them they have misinter
preted Northern kindness.

The Negro Report on Sam Hos,

From the \. Y. sun, June %
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir In
the Sun Of June 20 there appeared the
report Of detective employed by the Afro
Americans to investigate the killing of
sam Hose, and submitted by Mr. 7.
Thomas Fortune The evident purpose
of this report was to impress upon the minds
of your readers that Sam Hose (the negr Q
who was lynehed near Newman, Ga. )neither
committed murder nor rape. inclOse TO
you the original of Mrs. Crawford ; ath p
davit. 1t is the sworn statement of a
woman loved and respected in the com
munity in which she lives, and vouched
for in every way TO me by personal friend
and physician of Newman, Ga, who is
absolutely trustworthy and reliable.

Probably nothing has so be-addled
the city fathers in the past or ever
will in the future as the Office of the
City Solicitor. To begin with Ernest
G. Smith was elected City Solicitor
about one year ago. Shortly after his
election he joined the army and is now
in the Philippines, but has never
handed in his resignation. Council
appointed w B. Francis to fill the Of
flee until Smith returned. He had not
in view Of this fact majority of the
tOlGIS DcluS VI lut OpiIIOIl THAT the
Office was made vacant by Mr.. Smiths
leaving and consequently the Republic
cans and Democrats alike have nomi-
mated candidates for the office.
The members Of the Council at their
meeting the first of the month took
action on the matter, declaring the Of
flee was not vacant. At the meeting
last Tuesday evening they had chang
ed their minds On the subject and
passed resolution repeating the ordi-
nance creating the Office of City So
licitor This action, however, might
have been all right if the place was
still a village, as it was when the ordi-
nance creating the Office was passed.
They forget, however, that the place
has grown to a city of the second
class and the Office of the City Solicitor
! still remains whether they repealed the
ordinance creating the Office or not.
The folly Of their action Is plainly seen
