YOUNG TEADERFOOT CAUGHT |


IL has been long time since
Waxahachie has seen a first class
badger fight, but one was pulled of
last night with all the yigor and en-
thusiasm that characterizes these
functions.
The event took place in Brown
HoweiI's place of business and for
at least an hour before the appoint
ed time for pulling the badger" the
crowd began assembling and money
could be seen flashing In all direc-
tions. Betting was quite spirited
and all sorts of odds were offered.
1t didn't make much difference
which side fellow bet on he found
q ready taker for his money. Con-
siderable difficulty was experienced
in finding some one to pull the
string. There were several offers
to perform this task, but as it is
strictly against the rules for a man
who is betting or holding stakes,
to pull, their offers were declined.
When ii began to look like the fight
would have to be foregone some
one suggested that Mr.. Calvert
would officiate at the end of the
string opposite the badger. Mr..
Calvert is young man who came
out from Tennessee to see the re-
union and familiarixe himself with
Texas customs. At first he OBJ
jected to pulling the string, as he
was stranger. and it might not be
agreeable with all the boys. When
assured that no one would raise
any objection he said he would do
the pulling act rather than see the
show break up. The badger was
safely secured in barrel and the
dog was held some distance away
The young man took his position,
gathered up the slack of the rope
and at signal from the time keep
er he gave one long, hard pull and
the badger was jerked from his hid
ing place. The young man took the
joke good naturedly and left the
house In evident good humor, but
very much chagrined.

THE NEGRO AGAIN

(By Associated Press)


LONDON.t Aug. 20.-Mail advices re-
ceived from Johannesburg Indicate thai
the negro problem Is growing more
acute and is causing the authorities in
finite worry. To quote the words of
one of the foremost south African au-
thcrities:
"On the question OF the natives de-
Ponds the whole future of the new colo
nies-whehter the Beers will loyalty ac-
cept British rule or continue in state
of sullen resentment. Among the imme-
date dangers ma tive attacks on Beers
returning to the farms and attempts Of
natives to assault white women are
threatenin gto lead TO serious coonflicts
between Beers and blacks. Under the
old regime the crude but simple retribu-
tioon for assaults on women was shoot
ing on sight, now their is no legislature
on the subject, and the English au-
thorities are hestating to enact laws
until all the parties concerned can voice
their opinions.
The hesitancy to deal summarially
with the natives is causing Beers and
Arikanders intense irritation.
another phrase of the situation is
the unwillingness of the blacks to Togo
their lazy existence in the concentration
camps where thousands We're gathered
during the war and far more serious is
the fact that a great number of blacks
in the country have managed to secure
arms. There is. however, the anamo-
lous situation of unarmed whites and
armed blacks living in proximity on
outlying farms. Experienced British
colonials strongly favor universal disar-
mament of the natives and prompt
legislature making assaults on women
a capital offense.''
