THE HOME OF THE
 NEGRO QUESTION
(continued from PageTwo.)

practical illustration. Suppose that a company of British capitalists wish to be- gin the operation of Q large cotton plan tation in some district of that govern ment. These capitalists may import Quar- titles of the barter goods desired by the natives, and offer these as an inducement for the Africans to work for them. IL will start or auspiciousiy enough at first. But as soon as an African gets enough pay to go of on a prolonged spree, or to buy few wives. he will stop, and no amount of persuasion will induce him to resume work. until his spree is over, or his wives manage to leave. Of course no sound ianancier will build his industry on such a whimsical and shifty basis. The issue, then is squarely presented. What must be dpfie? The Europeans need the soil of Africa to feed their millions. They do not wish to push the Africans out but the work must be done. Then the only resort left Is for the British Government. whose power is already sufsciently established for the natives to respect and to obey 1t to enact certain labor laws. Among these laws must be guarantees of the en- forcement of contracts, the requirement of certificates of employment from all natives not fully employed in industries of their own. and the rigid inspection of the condition of all employees, oversight of tho wages paid. and of the kind of work they are employed in. Then all na- tives who fail to show certificates of em- ployment in bona hde industry or call ing or who persistently refuse to fulfill their engagements. must be taken into the custody of the Government and d. rectly put to work under it's immediate direction at a wage below the current free wages.
 Something like this was done under Rhodes's regime in South Africa. and 1t is the only method which will accomplish all the ends desired.
 In Belgian Kongo, the system exists of allowing private persons to make con tracts with the natives, which the Govern ment requires to be for seven years duration. The Government then becomes responsible to the contractor for enforc- ing the fulfillment of the contract by the natives contracting. This system works well enough in some districts, but its weak point is in the fact that there are 30 many thousands of idle negroes around each post of the white man that they de- moraliSe the rest. The effort of the white man to establish a government over the blacks. where there are not enough in- dustrles to employ the natives in the dis

TRIAL OF TRAMMELL
CASE BEGINS IN CITY COURT
 TOMORROW.
More Than One Hundred Witnesses Summoned to Testify Concern ing the Killing of Charles
 E. Taylor.

The case of Byron Trammell. charged with murder. will be called for trial in the Montgomery City Court tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 As more than 100 witnesses have been summoned it is probable the trial of the case will consume several days.
 Trammell who is a United States Dep uty Marshal. shot and killed Charles E Taylor. of Roanoke. on Commerce Street in front of the Exchange Hotel, Monday night, June 22.
 At the preliminary examination Tram mell contended that he shot and killed Taylor in self defense. The State under took to show that Taylor was murdered as the result of conspiracy, and in or der to cover certain facts in connection with bankruptcy proceedings in the Unit ed States Court.
 Trammell was admitted to bail. his bond being fixed at $.00O which he made and resumed his duties in the Marshars of flee.
 As Taylor and Trammell both formerly lived in Roanoke it is expected that the trial will draw a large number of citl- zens of East Alabama to Montgomery.
 In the City Court yesterday disposition was made of the following cases:
 Jamie Harris. night walking not guilty.
 Aurelia Frazier. night walking, guilty

trict is a vain one. Give them work first, government afterwards.
 The tremendous progress which this sys- tenn will realise in Africa in a few years will astonish the world. Think of hun dred million men all put to work almost at one time. There has never been anything like it in history. If the Hebrew captives built the pyramids. what will the modern London Jew in Africa do with his one time Ethiopian oppressor. now that he has him fairly under the thumb? It reads like romance, this poetic justice of his- tory. by which the descendants of the once enthralled brethren of Moses, and the progeny of the barbarians of the North, are vested with the task of direct ing the life-energies of the whole conti- nents of men.
