o. p. Gentry, Governor Dockery's pri-
vate secretary, returned today from
lathrop, Mo-. where he was sent under
distractions to make an nvestigation
Of the charges that a British post is
being maintained there to supply horses
and mules for the British army In South
Africa.
Governor Dockery forwarded the sec
retary's report to Senator Cockrel at
Washington this afternoon with the re-
quest that the senator lay the matter
. before congress. In his report Mr.. GEN
Try says that the firm OF Guyton &
Harrington owns the sheds and land at
the post, according to the statements of
the county officers. He continues.
Il was informed that the firm shipped
1900 head of horses and mules during
the last year, most of them destined for
South Africa. From appearances, 1t
looks very much like the business Is
largely conducted under British aus
rjices.
1T Is claimed, however, that all the
compensation received by the firm is 80
cents day for the care of each horse
and mule fed for the British govern
rent.
ut is not my province to offer any sug-
eestions as to whether international law
has been violated. That question Is OBJ
yiously one to be determined by the
United States government"
Mr.. Gentry says that Fl Sepoys who
arrived at Lathrop recently will return
to India soon with from 500 to 900 mules
for the use Of the British army In that

TO THOSE MAIDS WHO

For the "Colored American"
Thou hast within thy grasp, oh, maid:
The destiny OF a race.
With thee our virtues rise or fade,
Judgment OF man to face.
We pray thee, rise; cast of that weak,
Defenseless, grinnlng mood;
Increase thy worth, force man to seek
Thy hand, true womanhood.
When virtue shines from out thine
eyes
In true light, deep and bold,
Naught in the heart of man there lies
To ask that it be sold.
Man ever loves true virtue found
In maiden, black or white
And in response gives most profound
Honor; nor her name to blight.
But then, perchance, thou'd smile, he'll
beck,
Thou'st lured him, cruel f1irt;
The mortals Of thy race thOu'd wreck
To roll thee in thy dirt
Out from among those who repel
Thy dofngs base and boldl
HE thee to a white mans hell,
To where thy virtues sold!
Father, brother, cast her out!
