NEGRO PROPERTY OWNERS.

The negroes of Terrell county pay
taxes on Sl9l,31l worth of property.
This is an excellent showing, and In
dictates a spirit of thrift and economy
among some of that race. There are
a number of negroes in this communl-
ty who own the farms they cultivate,
an0 MANY more who own the houses 10
which they live. They are humble
homes. but they are shelters against
the storms of life. and their owners
take pride in keeping them in good
condition, and struggle to render them
as attractive and comfortable as their
modest means will allow.
Az the Macon News says, "a negro
who is property tax payer is inv ria
bly, law-abiding and respectable citl-
zen. His home means everything to
him. He patterns after the white
property holder, for he knows what is
good and best for the cOlored tax pay
err. BY owning the house in which he
lives the negro feels the responsibility
of citizenship, realizes the duty incum-
bent upon him and appreciates the
benefits which flow from an industri-
Gus, frugal and honest life"
One industrious negro who owns his
home or the small farm he cultivates
is worth all of the Booker Washingtuns
and Bishop Turner's.

NOT DISCOURAGED BY FAILURE,

The bureau of statistics has compiled
a statement ehowing that most of the
principal nations of the world are en-
deavoring TO develop cotton growing
in their various territories. They do
not relish their dependency upon the
United States FOR this crop. Not dis
couraged by previous failures the Eng
lish are experimenting in their colo
NAL possessions in Africa, India and
the West hides The Germans are
experimenting in Africa, and Russia in
her southern territories, which al
ready produce considerable quantities
of cotton.
But this is an old, old story. Exper-
fments have been going on for years
and years, and failure has come on top
of failure King Cotton is permanent
Nv enthroned in the south.

COLOMBIA TO FIGHT
BESIDES TO SEND AN EXPEDITION
AGAINST PANAMA.
General Reyes Largely ResponsibIe-Told
His Government That Americans VIII
Only Keep Troops Out of Canal Zone
Crowd Of indians Attempt to Sur
prise American 0unbOat.

Panama, Feb. News has reached
here from Bogota that, inasmuch as
Generals Reyes and Cavallero have as
sured Colombia that the United States
will only object to her landing forces in
the canal zone, the Colombian govern
ment intends to organize and send an
expedition against Panama.
The only explanation of this news
from Bogota is that the government of
Colombia is compelled to take some
steps to prevent its downfall. This is
said to be imminent, as President Mat
roquin has lost all the prestige he ever
had. There is much speculation in Bo-
gotta as to the outcome of this move,
should it be put through.
People arriving here from Colombia
declare the situation in that country is
growing worse every day.

cOREAN REVOLT IS SPREADING.
Increased Taxation Is the Signal for
LawIessness.

New York, Feb. 1.-Internal disturb
ance in Corea is spreading, cables the
Herald's Seoul correspondent. 1t is
the result of increased taxation. The
governors of three provinces report that
their officers have been captured by Or
ganized bands and government funds
taken.
Details have just been received here
of the disturbances ct Vladivostok dur
ing the celebration of Russian Christ
mas. 1t was created by intoxicated
Russian marines and Japanese women.
Numerous houses we're destroyed, most
ly Japanese, but including the Russian
theater. The usual fighting occurred.
AS happens on such occasions, there
was considerable brutality, but no fa-
talities. The marines were not brought
under control until much property
had been destroyed.
The notification of Corean neutrali-
ty, cabled from Che Foo to the powers,
was unknown in the Corean foreign
office until replies were received from
the representatives abroad. The inti-
nation was that it was arranged by
vi Yong TX and Hyen Sang Kun, the
latter having just returned from Rus
sia.
The Corean minister at Toxic has
been instructed especially to urge Ja-
pans immediate recognition of Corea' 8
neutrality.

JAPAN WANTS EARLY REPLY.
Russian Minister Given to Understand
Delay Is Too Great.


Toxic, Jan. 2s.-The Japanese gov
ernment has automatically intimated
to Baron De Rosen, the Russian minis
ter, that an early response is desired to
Japan's recent note to Russia. 1t is
calculated here that the Japanese note
reached the Russian cabinet on the af-
ternoon of January 16, and it is felt
that sufficient time has elapsed for it's
consideration and the preparation of a
response. The japanese government is
conscious of the possible necessities of
the military and naval situation, and
is unwilling to permit evasions and de-
lays which are designed to gain time.
The future course of the japanese
government is a carefully guarded Sc
cret. The length of time that Japan
is prepared to await the pleasure of
Russia is unknown. 1t seems probable
that it has been determined to act de-
cisively within few days. The popu-
lar temper has long opposed further
delay.
While many objected to Japan taking
the initiative, a majority would now
welcome the is---"nce- of a brief ulti-
matum and a wv. zion of war if
that should prove Ineffective. Some
outside opinion here inclines to the be-
lief that the activities of Japan will be
limited to the seizure of Corea, which
enterprise, it is thought, Russia would
not oppose.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 80. - The
steamer Kaga Maru, which arrived this
morning, brought news that 20 steam
ers had been commandered by the Jap
anese government before she sailed, all
for the naval department. The five
liners of the Australian line of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, including the
just completed Nikko Maru, had their
fittings torn out and were hurried to
Yokohama to be fitted as torpedo-car-
riers. Three steamers of the American
route to San Francisco had been taken
and will be made auxiliary cruisers.

even should that desirable condition
of affairs be reached it will still be
obligatory upon the milkman to see
that no opportunity is afforded for the
contact of the lacteal fluid with con-
taminated atmosphere in the stable.
Probably the best way in which this
can be accomplished is by the aid of
the pneumatic milking machine here
illustrated. 1t is so arranged as to not
only milk the cows automatically, but
also incloses the milk in an alright
receptacle as long as it is in the prox-
unity Of the animal. This is accom-
plished by a reservoir suspended over
head and connected with the teat cups
by short section of hose. By means
Of a vacuum created in the pipe to
which the reservoir is attached the
milk is drawn from the teats and de-
posted in the receptacle, whence it
can be removed to the creamery for
further reatment before being placed
on sale.

GREATER NAVY Is FAVORED.
House Committee Discusses Recommen-
dations of Moody.

Washington, Jan. 20. - Secretary
Moody concluded his recommendations
today before the house committee on
naval affairs. He presented two plans
prepared by the general board of the
navy as the building plan for next
year. The first was based on an ex-
penditure of $s4, 700, 900, and included
provision for one battleship, one arm
ored cruiser, three protected cruisers,
four scout cruisers, two squadron col
liers and two submarine boats. The
second plan provides for an expendi-
ture of $50, 900, 900, and is duplicate
of the first programme with elimina-
tion of two of the scout cruisers.
The secretary recommended building
naval stations at Guantanamo, Cuba,
and sublg Bay, P. I. The station in
Cuba: ultimately, is to cost $4,000
900, and the one in the Philippines
$9,O0O,e00. One million dollars is
asked this year for the Guantanamo
station, and little less than that
amount for the one in the Philippines.

igency demands; and he shall perform
