SUCCESS OF NEGRO COLONY.

W. E. Curtis in Record-Herald.
A movement is ont foot among thu
colered people of Atlanta, Ga, to estab-
hsh a colony of their own race, in which
no white people may participate Or in
trude. They have selected a tract of
1000 acres of land, about seven miles
from that city, upon which they hope to
place 500 or more families, to be ineor-
porated into an association and to be
governed By a board of trustees. There
is a good deal of doubt about the pract-
cabflity Of the project, although a similar
colony, called Mound Bayou, in the Yazoo
delta of the Mississippi river, has been
reasonably successful. The result will de-
pend largely upon its management. If
the projectors can get clear-headed,
cool-tempered, energetic man of execu-
tive ability like Booker Washington, or
Isaac I. Montgomery, who has managed
the Mississippi colony, they will get on
all right, but leadership is everything.
Montgomery is a remarkable man, as re-
markable in some respects as Booker
Washington. He was once a slave of JEFF
fers0n Davis, is self-educated, and has
strong natural abilities. He commands
the respect of everybo and unlimited
confidence, both in his integrity and abil-
ity
The land for Montgomery colony was
furnished by the Illinois Central railroad.
and the town Of Mound Bayou was laid
out in 1883 ABBOT thirty families settled
there, clearing seventy-five acres and
building cabins for themselves the first
year. In the meantime they supported
themselves byqcutting railroad ties, bar
rel slaves and Staye bolts until the first
crop was ready for harvest. The first
patch of corn planted was eaten by the
bears and raccoons; deer were plentiful
and became nuisance because they ac-
CURED an appetite for the tender shoots
OF the sugar cane. Wolves, wildcats and
panthers were also neighborly, and the
would have been enjoyed by the vice
president
Notwithstanding all these difficulties.
the people prospered; the town grew, and
there are now about 1900 settlers, with
1900 acres of land under cultivation in
corn, cotton, sugar and garden truck.
The original log huts have been replaced
by neat and comfortable dwelling houses
The railway station is one of the best on
the line, and has furnished an archi-
tectural model, to be Initiated by the
citizens. There are five general supply
stores, which are said to be prosperous
and the community has thus far been
without the experience Of crime. There
are no police, except the regular town
constable, and the arrests thus far have
been confined to petty thieves. The pee-
pie pay their taxes promptly, every fam
lily in town is self-supporting. new settlers
are coming in gradually, and the area of
cultivated land is increasing.
Last year, 1 am told, the receipts of
the railroad company for outbound
freight We're $4,000.

EVOLUTION OF COMMERCE.

The beginning of the twentieth century
will mark one of those far-reaching
changes in the commerce of the world
which in the past have marked the
course of empire; changes that have left
once flourishing cities to the bat and
the owl and to distant lands transferred
their magnificence as by magic.
Constantinople and Venice were the
entrepots for the vast Oriental commerce
which followed along the routes blazed
by the bones of the crusaders. From In
dia and far Cathay. through mountain
pass and over desert, across the Caspian
and UP the Red seas, to the eastern ports
of the Mediterranean, came the caravans
and the Persian and Egyptian merchant
men, laden with the wealth of the Orient
On this commerce, designed for Northern
Africa and Southern Europe, CONSTANT
nople and Venice waxed great. From
Odessa on the Black Sea a commercial
route led to the great Northland and the
city of Wisely on the Island of Cortland
became the metropolis of Northern Eu-
rope. To this city came the caravans
from India and China to meet the mer-
chant fleets of the Danish and Morse
sailormen. who carried their wares to all
points along Western Europe and the
British Isles. So great had at one time
become the commercial power of this
commercial city. that the laws of Wisely
became authority second only to the
commercial edicts of the Hanseatic
League.
But Wisely, and Venice and Constan-
tinople, has each fallen from It's high
estate. The commerce Of the world
sought out new routes ana left them
stranded. COntantinople and Venice re-
