Negro Problem In South Africa Becom,
ing Serious Matter.
London, Aug. 20-Man advices re-
ceived here from Johannesburg indi-
cate that the negro problem is grow
ing more acute and is causing the au-
thorities infinite worry To quote
the words of one Of the foremost
South African authorities:
"On the question of the natives de-
pends the whole future Of the new
colonies-whether the Beers will 10y
ally accept British rule or continue in
state OF suIlen resentment. Among
the immediate dangers, native attacks
on Beers returning to their farms and
attempts of natives to assault white
women are threatening to lead to serl-
GUS conflicts between Beers and the
blacks. Under the old regime, the
crude, but simple retribution for as
saults on women was shooting on
sight. Now, however, there is no leg
islation on the subject, and the Eng
lish authorities are hesitating to en-
act laws until all the parties con-
cerned can voice their opinions The
hesitancy to deal severely with the ma
tiyes is causing both Beers and Afri.
kanders intense irritation knd enccur.
ages the blacks to truculent effront-
cry.
Another phase of the problem is the
efforts Of the blacks to forego their
lazy existence in the camps, where
thousands were gathered during the
war, and far more serious is the pros
poets that many of the blacks Of the
! country have managed to secure arms.
There Is, therefore, the anomalous sit
uation of armed whites and armed
blacks living in proximity on cAtly-
ing farms. Experienced British co
lonials strongly favor universal dis
armament of the natives and prompt
legislation makngg assaults on women
a capital offense."

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years agoI operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem
ber there was great loss Of time and business, ON
account of sickness among the workers.
NY attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and / determined to give the
medicine a trial. l procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was we'll and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

from the desperadoes was brought by

half dozen guards were placed in the
hospital overlooking the reed depart

by eight men, then proceeded to the
foot of the stairway of the department.
Suddenly the crack of a Winchester

The prisoners had emerged from
the reed room as they had promised,
with hands up, but as they proceeded
down the long stairs Bishop dropped
his hands to his side as If to draw
weapon. He had hardly made the mo-

the breast, inhicting fatal wound.
