ISLANDS

OF MONEY
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR SAYS
"GET RID OF ISLANDS AS
QUICKLY AS P0SSIBLE"-HIS
REASONS FOR STATEMENT.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 2s.-In an ad
dress before the Manufacturers club in
Charlotte last night Senator Money used
the following language concerning the
Philippines:
when the war with Spain broke out
over 5000 young men from the civilized
portions of the islands were In Spanish
universities. and they are the people
against whom we are waging warfare.
OF the 50 members of Aguinaldo's provis-
ional congress there were more college
and university graduates than ever sat in
the senate OF the United States at one
time. Therefore more men, by 10 to /,
among the members who spoke different
languages from their own than ever at
one time occupied seats in our senate.
The president of the congress had written
books that had been translated all over
Europe. When we think of all the con-
ditions that exist in the Philippines we
may well ask the question. What is the
compensation for all this?' The answer
Isl Nothing
I'm those islands the white man will be-
come a degenerate in two generations and
one year is as long as an American soldier
can remain there. We should get rid Of
the islands as quickly as possible"

nPOPS" GIVEN COLD
DEAL BY DEMOCRATS
EMANUEL COUNTY PoPULlsTs
AND DEMOCRATS IN A WRAN-
GLE HELD A SPIRITED
MEETING SATURDAY.

sWAINsBORo, Ca. May 26.-On April
18th, last, at a citizens meeting held IN
the court house in this place, a resolution
was unanimously passed inviting all per-
sons, regardless of past party afhlia-
tions to meet with the Democrats here on
Saturday, May Path, for the purpose OF
electing a new Democratic executive
committee.
The Populists met here on May 18th.
passed resolutions Internationally accept
ing the Democrats invitations and named
a committee to present the resolutions to
the meeting on May oath.
In the meantime some of the leading
Democrats of the county got together and
decided 1t bad policy to let the Populists
participate in the selection of the Demo
cratic committee and prevailed upon the
chairman. Hon. Frank Mitchell, to call
meeting for May 18th. This was done and
a good number of Democrats met here on
that day and a new Democratic COMMITTEES
elected. Saturday morning the commit
tee met and called a primary election Tor
each district in the county to be held on
Wednesday, July ed, for the selection OF
representatives and county officers.
After the committee meeting large
and representative body Of citizens Of all
parties met in the court house. with Hon.
Frank Mitchell, presiding The Popuhsts.
through Hon. w. r. Kemp, presented
their resolutions to the meeting. but as
the adoption OF these resolutions would
have declared the action Of the Demo
Gratis meeting of May 18th void, spirited
debate arose and the resolutions were not
voted upon.
A large element OF the Democrats were
not in sympathy with the meeting of May
18th. which elected an executive commit
tee. and they were all in favor Of receiv-
ing the Populists' resolutions and admit
ting them back into the party. On the
other hand, influential Democrats who
took part in the meeting OF May 18th of
fered resolutions Internationally inviting
the Populists back into the party, and
insisted that their resolution be voted up
on first.
The Populists said they could vote upon
no resolution of the Democrats until they
were admitted into the party and then
the serious split came. The Populists
marched out of the meeting. followed BY
a large number of Democrats and the
meeting was unceremoniously adjourned.
Many Democrats and Populists plead for
harmony in the meeting, but no sat-sfac
tory arrangement could be made.
The Populists are exceedingly wrathy'
saving that they were invited to the
Democratic household and then had the
door slammed in their faces.

WASHING7ONWANTS
NEGROES TO Be
FARMERS
URGES NEGROES TO LEAVE CITIES
AND GO BACK TO THE FARM.
SAYS IDLE CITY NEGROES
ARE A DISGRACE.

Booker T. Washington. president Of the
negro normal school at Tuskegee, Ala,
delivered an address Tuesday afternoon
at the negro conference which was held
at Atlanta university. He repeated the
views he has long held that the wisest
and safest policy for the southern negro
Is to adapt the race to its present needs
and conditions. The best way to do this.
says Washington, Is for the negro to get
possession of the soil and till It.. and he
made some able arguments in this cause.
He was heard by a large audience, In
Guiding a number Of white persons.
In part, Booker Washington said:
II hope you will excuse me If. for few
minutes seem to discuss the occupation
of our people in a broader way than the
narrow one suggested by the subject
under discussion at this conference.
want to say as foundation to my re-
marks that my belief Is that the proper
way to begin in the development of a
race would be the same as with an indt-
viduaL The proper place to begin the de-
velopment of an individual is just where
the individual is We can begin in no wiser
way to develop any race than to begin just
where the race finds itself at the mo-
ment of beginning.
II am sure you will agree with me when
/ assert that by far the largest portion OF
our people are engaged In some form OF
agrfculture-are engaged IN the cultivation
of the soil. Since the bulk OF our people
are to live out OF the. aoil, are accustomed
to agricultural life, II Is my opinion that
agriculture should be made the chief In
dustry of our people, at least for long
period Of years. The negro should be en-
couraged to own and cultivate the soil; in
a word, as a rule, should be encouraged
to remain in the country districts. The ne
gro is at his best In most cases when in
agricultural life; in too many cases he Is
at his worst when in contact with the life
of the city. OF course. out of agriculture,
the fundamental industry, will grow most,
If not all, the skilled occupations with
which, / understand, this conference is
now specifically dealing.
I'm order that the negro may be induced
to remain In the country we should see
to It that life is not only bearable and
safe. but attractive and comfortable.
IF there is one thing at the present
time that should give us more serious con-
Germ than another, IL is the large idle
class that fingers about the sidewalks, bar
rooms and dens of sin and misery in our
large cities. The negro boy should be given
such an idea of the beauty and dignity OF
agricultural life that rather than yield to
the temptation of going to the city he will
return to his fathers farm, and there
raise so bushels on an acre of land by rea-
son of his intelligence and skill where only
% bushels or less were growing before"

RECORDS OF STATE
ARE ROTTlNG AWAY

Maps of counties and official records
of the state in the office Of Secretary Of
State Phil Cook are rapidly becoming
useless, on account OF the fact that the
legislature has made absolutely no provis-
ion for repairing and rebinding them. Sec
rotary of State Cook has called the at
tention of the general assembly to the
matter time and time 1again but no APP
propriation for the preservation of these
valuable documents has ever been made.
Offlcial maps Of "a counties are missing.
Some of the records of the state are torn
and tattered from constant use. Binding
from many of the valuable documents
handed down from the days OF General
James Oglethorpe are gone. The records
are in bad shape and nobody realizes the
condition of affairs better thar Secretary
of State Cook.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
he said:
There are but few records among the
archives Of the state of more Importance
than the maps of the several counties OF
the state. Often appeal is made to them
by county authorities and land owners to
settle important questions sometimes In
volving pecuniary interests of counties
and individuals. It is therefore of the
greatest Importance that these maps
should be preserved and reproduced from
time to time as they wear out from con-
slant use. This has been the unbroken
policy of the state since its organization.
But for about 30 years no provision has
been made to pay for repairing maps dam
aged by constant use and for replacing
those entirely worn out. OF the maps of
the 1S7 counties in the state six are entire
ly worn out and gone, about 30 so badly
worn that unless immediate attention Is
given them it will be impossible to make

John j. Carroll, who was sentenced to
one year i'm the pententiary for assault
and battery on Lula Britton, has been
pardoned by Governor Gambler on recon-
mendation of the prison commission. Car

was found dead with large hole in her
head. Carroll was the last person with
her.. and was arrested on the charge OF

she probably committed suicide.

Some of them. however, are inaccurate
because many county lines have been
changed since they were made. These
changes / think, should be made on the
maps so as to show the lines of each
county as they now are. Some provision
should be made to look after these mat
tiers. 1 have no official maps of Appling,
Baker, Campbell. Coffee, Colquitt, Dade,
Dodge, Dooly, Douglas, Ebert, Fayette,
Hall, Irwin Laurens, Liberty. Lowndes.
Oconee, Pauling. Pike. Pulaski, Rabun,
Richmond, RockdaIe, Taliaferro. Tattnall.
Telfair, Troup, Twiggs, Walker. Walton.
Washington, Wayne White and Wilkin-
son. The maps which have of Barlow,
Henry, Mitchell, Pierce and Wilcox, are
incorrect. The maps of Charlton, Chero-
kee, Cobb and DeKalb are worn out en-
tirely and absolutely useless.
"It is also necessary that something
should be done for the preservation Of the
old records. Many of these manuscript
volumes are in a good state of preserva-
ton, but a few much soiled. defaced and
worn by constant use for 100 years, should
be transcribed. Many should be rebound,
the old binding being rotten and worth
less These old records should be pre-
served because they are useful and nee
essary to this office and the people OF
Georgia. But aside from this patriotism,
state pride and a proper regard for the
memory, and achievements of our an
cestors, ought TO prompt the people to
preserve and jealousy guard the ar
chives of our state. This duty has been
neglected and these valued relics of the
past glory of Georgia have been uncared
for and for want of a small appropria-
ton they will in a few years be lost
earnestly hope that the next legislature
will see fit to give few dollars for this
work"
Governor Gambler and other state
house ohRcers agree with Mr.. Cook that
the records and maps should be cared for.

The luncheon table of spring and sum-

glass dishes placed at the corners of the

white celery and apples cut in very small
pieces. A good deal of sugar is added to
the mayonnaise dressing Of such a salad.
