II is a pity that racial prejudice anj
FEELING are being aroused over the dis
honorable discharge from the regular
service of those three companies OF
troops who we're guilty of rioting in
brownsville, Texas. Nobody can doubt
that the Presidents action would have
been equally prompt and firm had the
troops been white instead of colorcd
The punishment was on account of
their conduct, not on account of their
color. and to attempt to place the mat
ter on racial grounds is wholly unius,
TO the President and is an ilIjudccd
piece of race antagonism.

An Earlier James Wilson.

That was an interesting occasion
this week when the remains of James
Wilson, after sleeping for over
century in forgotten grave in North
Carolina. were brought to Philadelphia
and inferred in the historic Old
cemetery where sleep Benjamin
Franklin, Benjamin Rush. Robert
Morris, John Penn, and other famous
Philadelphians. The name of James
Wilson is unfamiliar to many of US.
and yet he was one of the most
prominent men of his times and
perhaps the most important figure in
Revolutionary history among those
who were not born in this country.
Not only was he one of the signers OF
the Declaration of Independence, ana
a member of the Constitutional Con-
vention in 1887. but he also filled many
important military and civil offices
and closed his illustrious career by q
term as the first associate justice OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
He was a native of Scotland, one OF
that splendid band of Scottish borI
who did so much for this country il
, .,e days of it's early struggles. The

Tells Northern Newspapers He Has
No Sympathy for "Home Destroyers.'
Dispatches from Jackson, Miss, con-
tain a statement on the negro problem
as it appears in Atlanta, given out
Monday by Governor Vardaman: The
governors statement was prompted
by questions wired him by northern
newspapers. 1t is in part as follows:
In answer to yourq uestion: Can
not terror of the law and stern JUS
tice be made just as effective as the
terror of rioting and mob rule?
1T can be, provided the fifteenth
amendment shall be repealed and the
fourteenth modified so as to permit
she people of Georgia to legtslate
to suit the moral qualities and intel
lectual requirements OF the negro.
Dealing with the crime Of rape, Gov
ernor Vardaman says:
"Nine-tenths of the negroes, re-
gardless of their station or vocation
in life, sympathize with the brute IN
his aspirations for social equality and
while they would not perpetrate the
crime, they will give the criminal all
the protection from the penalty OF
the law within their power. The man
whose daughter, wife or friend Is out'
ragged will not consent to have the
victim brought into court before the

rains of the famous Amos Owens OF
the Amos Owens Cherry Tree COM
Tany fame. This notorious case was
tried in 1902. 1t was figured out that
in the endless chain system OF selling
cherry trees the company assumed
obligations at the rate of $4,000 in
two weeks It was fraudulent use OF
the mail that brought the death blow.
Owens, who lived on Cherry mountain,
was used as witness only. He was
an old-time blockader and served
some years at Albany. It is said that
lust before he was released he wrote
his wife to have plenty of corn mashed
ready for resuming business upon his
return. Owens was about seventy years
old.

FIVE THOUSAND KILLED
In Devastating Typhoon Which Swoop-
ed Down Upon Hong Kong, China,
Is Latest Advices.

Later advices from Hong Kong,
China, say that it is now estimated
that 5000 Chinese lost their lives in
the typhoon and that reports are dali
ly increasing the mortality.
Twelve ships we're sunk, twenty
four stranded, seven were damaged
and one-half of the native craft in
port were sunk.
The shipping trade has been para
lyzed through the lack of lighters.
The steamers Mont Eagle, Fatshan,
Keung Shan. Wang Chan, Hermania,
Castellano, Talking, Emma Luyken,
Rosario, st. Alva, Pinkhong, Petrarch,
Chum Lee, Sexta, Sunon, Chang Sha,
Signal and Chinkai Maru are ashore.
The harbor is strewn with wreckage
thrown on the shore. Hundreds OF
Chinese boatmen and their families
were saved by the bravery Of the po-
lice and civilians, but several Chlnese
water dwellers must have perished,
many within short distances OF the
shore. The losses in lives and prop"
erty among the Chinese are appalling.
The police stations in Hong Kong are
surrounded by Chinese Identifying
their dead. The families Of the Hong
Kong boatmen live night and day on
the sampans, and thousands OF these
people are homeless.
Chinese take the diaster calmly, and
show no manifestation Of grief.
Public opinion is incensed at tfs
observatory for not reporting the ap-
proach of the typhoon. An inquiry
has been demanded. For years r.it
the observatory has been subjected
to adverse comment, but on this cr-
,casion it is not believed to be blanl-
able.
