Declared Unconstitutional,

The sugar bounty law has been de-
clared unconstitutional by Attorney
Gen Douglas. He handed down an
opinion sustaining Auditor Dunn in
his refusal to pay over the states
money. The decision is of far-reach-
ing Importance, involving not only the
question of daying the bounty claimed
by the Minnesota Sugar company. but
the matter of encouraging the sugar
beet industry in this state.
The sugar company has for some
time been clamoring for bounty OF
$4,000 under the legislative act which
gives bounty of cent pound, the
purpose beng to foster the industry
is now in this, as in good many other
northwestern states, and farmers in
every county are interested.
Some time ago the question of the
legality of a bounty law arose in the
state of Michigan, and there the at
torney general decided against it.
The decision called the attention of
State Auditor Dunn and other state
officials to the law in this state. The
auditor decided not to pay the bounty
until it was determined whether or
not lie had right to do so. AS re-
suit the sugar company will have to

Gov. Gambler Rcsents the visit Of Northerners
Interested IN Negro Education.

SAVANNAH, Ga. April q. Whilo In
savannah last night Gov. Gambler was
asked what he thought Of the present trip
through the South Of the party Of wealthy
New Workers and others Interested in negro
educai ional institutions. In the party is
the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and Dr. Curry,
the Peabody agent. They spent Sunday
in Atlanta and GOV. Gambler was asked
to meet them. but declined. Gov. Gambler
said Of the visitors:
Booker Washington was the best man
in the party. Washington Ia a good negro
and ia doing pretty good work. II is to
his interest 70 get these Northeners in
tercsted in his schools. He gets money
out Of them and don't blame him for that
at all Or. Curry. the Peabody agent.
Is n good man. but | don't know much
about the others.
The negro colleges Of the South do not
need the aid Of these Northern people very
much. DO you know that you can stand
on the dome OF the Capitol Of Georgia and
sea more negro colleges with crIdowrnrnts
than yOu can white schools We can at
tend 10 the education Of the darky in the
South without the aid Of these damned
Yankee. and give them the education they
nerd most, too.
Il do not believe in the higher education
of the darky. He should be taught the
trades. but whom he Is taught the fine arts
he gets educated above his caste and il
makes him unhappy | am opposed 10
putting negroes in factories and offices.
When YOU do that vou will cause disSatis-
faction between the two races and such
things might lead 10 a race war. These
Yankees who die and leave their money
Ia negro colleges do not understand tho
local situation II may hr right, however,
for some OF them to send their money back
10 the South in this manner, for in some
cases the foundations for their fortunes
TINT now exist in the North and East were
laid hv the carpet haggers Of the South
and the money should be coming back
here 10y this time.
Il am not surprised at Atlanta lionizing
these people. They will lioniz" anybody
in Atlanta All newcomers are heroes
in their owes. You know they made n
hero out Of sherman when he cam . there"
