present rate calculating the supply in sight as We
say of the cotton crop, the number of immigrants
will be no less than one million. One foreigner
will be less than million. One foreigner
for eery eight persons now in the country.
The worst feature OF the situation is the charac-
ter Of the people who are coming. Irish, German
and Scandinavian immigration has almost entirely
ceased These three fused with the original English
and Scotch, and with colonies of French in Lousi-
ana and Carolina have made the country what it is.
The present immigration is entirely different 1t will
not fuse the others readily did-the Celtic French
Irish and Scotch and the Teutonic English German
and Morse
The only element of the present immigration that
IS desirable and is not fraught with danger IS the
class Of agriculturists from Northern and Middle
Italy. The rest are the of-scourings of Eastern
Europc-Hungary, the Balkans, and the most OPP
pressed and ignorant provinces Of Russia The last
the worst and II is they who come in the great
est numbers.

already crowded East and Northwest, IS pouring

tude OF these people towards the negro What will
it be VIII they adopt our ideals, our modus Vi
vendi, theories of race segregation ;
These ideals appear to belong to the Anglo-Sax-
brain and heart. They have been taught to our
men and women through generations but what does
degraded, half-savage, wholly ignorant Russian
peasant know of race pride or race ideals He has
blind absorbing instnct-hatred OF all law, or
der, and authority. Who will venture to say that
simply by virtue OF his white skin, such is the
social superior OF educated and prosperous ne
gro land owner whose life IS law abiding and whose
family are educated and enlightened What will
be the result when the two types are brought to-
gether
Even the better class Of the immigrants now
coming INTO cotton and sugar fields know moth

America and the West India Islands before our eyes
the future holds ugly spectres. The fear ofthe gulf
Of mongrelism may be groundess, but it is one that

Lost City" Found
Especial correspoudence,)

One of the most interesting discov.
cries Of recent years was made by a
party of Americans recently when
they stumbled upon the ruins Of Tea
20, the famous Lost City" of Mexico.
Centuries ago Teayo was the capi-
tai OF the kingdom OF the Otomites, a
powerful race Of Indians, who in civil
ization, power and numbers excelled
even the famous Aztecs.
This race gradually dwindled away
and for hundred years or more moth
ing was known Of themselves or their
capital except what was handed down
in Mexican traditions. Teayo, once in
habited by $4,000 people, gradually
became a heap Of ruins. Located in
the most inaccessible part Of an al
most inaccessible country-a country
into which no white man ever pene-
trated-Teayo became known as
lost city" The Mexican government
now intends to send party of archae-
ologists to explore the mines.
The ruins Of Teayo were discovered
by a party who we're investigating a
report Of the existence of coal depos-
its. When they reached the Otomite
territory they found an Otomite Indi-
an. whom they employed as guide.
They found no coal where it was
said to exist, and they resolved to
continue their Journey into the wilds
for the purpose Of seeing what they
might discover.
Guided by the Otomite Indian, they
Travelled over mountains and through
dense jungles of tropical forests for
fourteen days. They came upon
number Of small settlements OF OTTO
mite Indians. and but for the fact that
their guide interceded in their behalf
they would have been sacrificed.
They were the first white men to
penetrate the region, and their appear
ance was sensational event to the
Indians, who have never submitted to
or acknowledged the authority Of the
Mexican government over them TIE
Otomites proudly boast that they are
still unconquered.

stone stairway 80 feet wide runs up
the tower on the east side. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 10000 tons of ma
terial we're used in constructing this
monument.
Another interesting feature Of the
ancient city is the great central under
ground chamber. The Otomites con-
structed underground thoroughfares
through all parts Of the city, and
many Of these dark and gloomy pass
ages and chambers are still in good
state OF preservation. This system OF
underground thoroughfares radiated
from the sacrlhcial tower. Many OF
them are walled with stone, upon
which the beautiful work Of the sculp-
tor is still to be seen.
u saw underground chambers
which were filed with skeletons OF
men said to have been the victims of
religious rites. The labyrinth Of un-
derground passages, chambers and
vaults win probably reveal a great
store OF information bearing on the
past history Of the Otomites when
properly exploded and investigated.

reer as an author needs neither COM
mendation nor criticism. He devoted
his time and talents to dramatic writ
ing, and at least two of his produc-
tions will live forever as master
pieces. namely, "Brutus" and Charles
H." one of them a tragedy, the other
comedy. That he was hard-work-
ing man is evidenced by the fact that
he produced sixty-three plays. seven
of them being operas. He resided for
several years in Paris, and adapted
many French plays to the English
stage. He crossed and re-crossed the
ocean several times. He travelled ex-
tensiyely In America as well as In
Europe. and seemed restless in any
one place for any length Of time. But
his travels, and wherever he went he
continued his literary labors. He con-
tributed literally to the newspapers
and magazines, and said that book
makers and playwrights can only be
successful through some connection
with the periodical press" He point
ed to the fact that all successful poets
of that era were they who kept in
close touch with the people through
regular publications.
This, briefly told, is the story Of the
life of John Howard Payne. his wan
derings. his work. his ambitions. his
homelessness and his death in for
eign land. It is fitting that near the
