WON ENGLISH FAME
Johnnie Reiff, Wichita Jockey
Rode Royal Flush at Ascot.
EXCITED GREAT INTEREST
Will Race in France Tenor
row for G20O Fee.

Johnnie" ard Lester ReiH. the two
Wichita Jockeys who left this city several
months ago and later sailed for England,
are creating considerable excitement in
the English racing world. Johnnie, -
the youngest OF the brothers. rode Royal
Flush in the Ascot races this week, re-
ceiving 800 fer the mount. The Reins To-
gether with Sloan and Martin have es-
tabIshed their fame as American jockeys.
Elmer ReLl, brother. is bookkeeDer at
the union stock yards here and has rea-
son 10 be proud OF his two brothers.
Both are natural born riders. and It is
said OF the youngest that couple of
years ago when ne was working for q
butcher here that he did nothing but
mount and ride steers for pastime. He
became adept as a rider while in Wich-
TIA In England he vas interviewed By
an Associated Press representative on his
racing record Wichita people are es-
peciaIly interested in the ReiTs.
The following Associated Press dispatch
from London tells OF the races and the
success OF the famous jockeys:
Ascot week racing closed today and
with IT wins out Of Is races, including
such trophies as the Royal Hunt cup and
the Ascot Gold cup. for the two Reifrs
Sloan, Martin and Rigby. They are the
talk Of the English racing yorld and the
supremacy Of American methods seems
finally and definitely established. These
Americans can make their own terms
with English ownsrs next year. OF them
al 13-year-old ''Johnnie" Rein excited the
greatest interest, his splendid finish IN
the race for the Royal Hunt cup Wednes-
day, when he won by 3 head from the
celebrated Jockey Cannon, winning the
admiration Of those who had hitherto
doubted his ability TO control his mounts
This little jockey, who already earns at
the rate Of 5000 annually. has offers next
year from nearly every prominent En-
glish owner. He received 500 fer riding
Royal Flush and rides in France Sunday
for fee Of 200 pounds sterling. Johnnie's
head seems unturned by his success. He
talked modestly at Ascot today, saying:
Il am delighted, of course with the
thirty wins my brother and myself have
each accounted for this year, but I am
looking forward 10 a winter in France.
where my brother and I expect TO con-
tinue OUT schooling.
II won on Royal Flush because he IS
a splendid horse. Wishard bought him
for $400 and the Royal Hunt stakes alone
amounted TO nearly s25A0.
Sloan said today: Il am going TO the
continent tomorrow for six weeks holt
day That shows how little I care about
a racing record, SO long as
get satisfactory mounts"

Mr.. SIMMONS LETTER
Necessity Which ImpelIed Him to
Write it Much to be Regretted
Among Democrats.
(Asheville CitiZen)

The Citizen regrets very much. not
that F. NJ. Simmons wrote his letter
to Mr.. Allen, but the necessity which
impelled him to write it.
Mr. Simmons would be more than
man, or much less, if he had quiet
lu rootod ~"dor tho eor;o"o ohars,os
that Mr.. Allen assured him were be-
ing made against him in order to de-
feat his nomination for United States
Sen ator.
The strength of Mr.. simmons letter
lies in his manly conservatism. 1t is
no small provocation for man who
has rendered the distinguished SER
vice to his State that Mr. Simmons
has to find his reputation being ma
ligned and his character assaulted,
and that apparently by those from
whom he had a right to expect at
least appreciation for invaluable work
done if not support for an honor to
which he aspired.
But for the service that +. M. Sim
mons rendered this State and the
Democratic party in 1898 and 1900,
there would not be a Democratic can
didate for United States Senator in
North Carolina today with 4 he shadow
of chance of success.
MIR. Simmons, it would seem, has
sinned in aspiring to an honor that
his achievements alone have made
possible.
There has been no little division Of
opinion in the Democratic party in
the past as to the wisdom OF holding
a senatorial primary. There can be
but one opinion in the future con
eerning this plan if the methods in
dicated in Mr. Aliens letter are to be
practiced.
Any man in North Carolina has the
right to be candidate for senator.
but neither good politics, good NOR
ais nor common fairness will allow
that one mans character should be
njustly assailed in order that another
man may profit thereby.
The Citizen still adheres to the
opinion expressed some weeks ago,
that it would be a reflection upon
the sense OF gratitude OF the Demo
cracy OF North Carolina to say that il
will not gladly recognize the politi
cal claims and personal worth Of +
NJ. Simmons by electing him to an,
Office he may ask at their hands.

ATlANTA'S VETERANS ON SOUTHERN
HISTORIES.
Reply to Resolutions of the Grand
Army.

Atlanta Camp 159, United Confed-
crate Veterans, at its last meeting
adopted & resolution couched in
strong language, taking exception to
resolution passed at the recent en-
campment at Chicago of the &. a. r.,
relative to Southern school histories.
1t was held by the q. A. r. resolution
that many of the histories used by
Southern school children gave par
tisan view of the historical facts of
the Civil War. After giving briefly
several incidents of the war the reso-
luton adopted by the Atlanta camp
concludes:
LIN the language of the resolutions
Of the Grand Army, we of the South
also call upon all patriotic citizens 'to
aid in banishing from our schools all
books and teachings of a partisan,
sectional or disloyal character but
we remind our fellow citizens of the
Grand Army of the Republic that SO
long as the Northern schools are sup
piled with books that teach that the
war between the States was organ
lied rebellion designed to destroy
the Union; that Jefferson Davis was
the arch traitor (while John Brown
was hero and maryr), that Robert
f. Lee, Albert Sidney johnson and
Stonewall Jackson were guilty OF
treason, that Semmes, Tatnall, Bu-
chanan and Waddell were wicked
pirates and the Southern armies were
bands of rebels, the adoption of these
resolutions by the Grand Army Of the
Republic is buC hollow farce.
The resolutions themselves TEEN
with party anger and misrepresenta-
ton. Whenever the unfair partisan
books of the North are corrected and
all evidences Of hatred to the South
eliminated therefrOm, it will then be
time enough for our Grand Army
friends to call for reform in the mat
ter Of Southern histories"
Most people would succeed in small
things if they were not troubled by
great ambitions s-LOngf elbow.

THE LAND O. THE SKY.
tWritten at Asheville, y. e

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Mountains that climb to the blue bend on
Lakes where the stars see themselves in
the sky
Violet valleys Of beauty and love,
W Where earth seems to close to the heaven
You can hear the faint echoes Of seraphim-
feet
And the musical beat
or the hearts of the angels-the songs they
repeat
In their cadences sweet,
A wild world of mountains that drift into
dreams;
The ii pple Of liIls and the dashing of
streams
That sing to the sea- And the beams and
the CLEANS
That lure you to gardens of beautiful
dreams
or beautiful dreams that have lifted your
TO the thunder's high roll
Where you slip from life's care, and its
curse and control
With the JOY in your soul.
God crowned with old glory these noun
tains; He planted
The sky-reaching hills in these valleys
enchanted
These streams in the hOllOwS by mystery
haunted
These oaks that still wave their green ban
ners undaunted,
And dare the storms thunder and
paeans of praise
Mountains-rivers, still raise
TO the heaven above them, whit rose
scented ways
Wreathe the beautiful days
o, land OF all beauty-loved Land of the
Sky,
Where Love breatheS Good morning" and
never ''gOOdby."
Where song on each wild wind in melody
rOVpS
And twines the bright steps of the gods OF
the groves
The rose of the morning is white on thy
breast
Thou art tcrowned-thou art blest
From the seas to the east and the seas to
the west
With the rose wreath of 1est,

SHAkESPEAREAN PARTS.
The Melancholy Dane Is the Longest
Of Them ALL

of Them All.
The longest part in any Shakespeare
an play is Hamlet, who is before the
audience almost constantly. Hamlet Is
n constant talkcr. and it is surprising
that in the circumstances he says so
many wise things. He has to his share
1860 lines Richard III is another long
part, as the character speaks 1,161
lines. and next comes Iago, with LILY
lines. Henry has 1,063 lines.
One would suppose from seeing the
representation or from looking over the
play that Othello had more lines than
Iago. but it is not the case, for the val
liant Moor has only SIS lines. Corlola-
nus has $50, the Duke in Measure tor
Measure" $50 and Timon SS3. Antony
In Antony and Cleopatra does not
seem very long part judging by the
apDearance Of the prompt book, Out IN
reality he has $50 lines.
Brutus in Julius Cesar has ~,
Fa,staff in Henry V" 719. Macbeth
aDpears a long part judging from how
much he is on the stage in the repre-
sentation. but in fact he has only 40
lines Romeo has 61S, which is only q
few more than the King in Hamlet
who has SOL. Cassius in julius Ca-
sar." although first class part mas
but 507 lines.
Tho female parts in Shakespeare
plavs are not very long. The actress
who plays Portia has oS9 lihes u
st,dv Rosalind has 749. Cleopatra
has go and Juliet 541. Desdemona
has only $50. Beatrice has 800. Only
% of shakespeare women have more
than 800 lines each. and some OF the
most famous of the great bards femi'
nine creations have comparatively III
tie to say. Cordelia in King Lear
has ONLY 115 lines Kate in "Iamlns OF
