HOPE FOR THE NEGRO.

Perhaps / am too much an opttn1ist
to be a valuable witness in the unend-
ing trial of the negro before the bar
of public opinion by press and pulpit;
but I see no unavoidable danger to the
South in his presence. On the contrary
l believe in his final, complete and
peaceful incorporation into the Ameri-
can system without injury to himself
or to his white nelghlbor. Foryt years
ago he emerged from slavery virtually
without more than the clothes he wore
ON his back, Twenty years later he
owned in this city CMacon) $167, 99C
worth of taxable property, and in 1903
S259,95O. In 1886 the aggregate value OF
the negro property in this city and the
surrounding country was $45,220, and
these values, had risen In 1904 to
1923, 295., Elsewhere he has done even
better. There Is hope for a race with
such q history and those who talk OF
substitution and deportlon may do well
to consider where the South would find
a substitute who will preserve the peace
and achieve more. The negro has
much to learn, but the question arises
Is 1t easier to teach him, put him to
work when idle, restrain him when evil
minded, and strip him down to an
earnest, Industrious worker while the
leaven of home influence is working In
him, or easier to call In an illiterate
alien of different language and centu-
ries of the shadow of king and make
an American of him?
And who is going to deport the negro
and under what law? Deportation is
the idlest dream ever dreamed by an
American. The fact is, few serious
minded southerners want to part with
him.
There Is no threat to the south in the
negro's presence there, For at last the
only negro who threatens our civiliza-
ton is the criminal negro; and the only
white man who threatens the negro Is
the white criminal; and our whole sys-
tenn is failure If this question may
not be left where Georgia has placed h
lin the keeping of the courts, tht
church and the schoolhouse. 1t is safe
to leave it there, And while he gropes
his way toward the light, 1t is wise ant
charitable to give him aid, comfort ant
the benefit of broad Christian toler.

people; and this term may be enlarged

A PLAGUE OF TIGERS.
Chance for Hunters of Big Game in the
Irrawaddy Valley

Chance for Hunters of Big Game in the
Irrawaddy Valley.
The British shikarri need noN leave
his battery idle, even if big game in
Africa has become too scarce to be
worth the cost of pursuit. He has only
to turn his footsteps to the Irrawaddy
valley to secure quite an amplitude Of
that most heroic Of all field sports, tiger
shooting.
For some reason or other Mr.. Stripes
has begun to colonize that locality on
quite an extensive scale, even invading
villages at night and taking heavy toll
of their inhabitants. The natives,
much to their credit, offer all the resis-
lance in their power, but, wretchedly
armed as they are, the intruder takes
little harm from their fusillades. Here,
then, is an excellent opportunity for
the well endowed British sportsman.
Burma is more accessible than the
African interior. and also a far pleas
anter and healthier country to knock
about in. And who will deny that tiger
shooting affords more exciting sport
than potting wild elephants or hippo
potami? Those who pursue on foot the
great cat carry their lives in their
hand every moment, while even from
elephant back or from a "machan"-a
platform constructed in big tree
there is always the possibility of a
combat at close quarters.
The strongest argument for the inter-
ventlon of the British Nimrod is the
humanitarian: it rests with him and
with him alone to save the lives of hun
dreds Of fortunates,-London Globe.

Mrs Rambo was constantly at her
brothers side always cheering him,
and hoping with him against hope.
1t was a beautiful instance of sisterly
love-that rare kind of affection
which is only stilled and hushed with
death
Her faith in her brother only multi
piled under the mass Of convincing
evidence which the prosecution piled
about HIN. AS she sat in the cell with
him after it was over, and after the
sentence had been pronounced, she
broke down and cried. Between her
sobs she murmured: ut was all
wrong; it was all wrong. Ollie has
always been a good boy. He has no
murder in his heart. The evidence
against him was untrue, believe in
him. 1t is an awful blow" Her words
were stiflel with sobs
Smith will go to the penitentiary to
serve a life sentence before this week
is out. Before the silent doors Of the
prison swing in upon him forever, he
must learn that his sister, the only
member Of his immediate family, has
taken her life by her own hands,
crushed borne down and driven too
desperation and suicide by his con-
viction-his act.
Mrs Rambo was 81, and leaves a
husband and six children, four boys
and two girlse. Up until about 10
years ago, she and her husband lived
in Topeka. The Kansas City Times
of this morning has the following
relative to the matter:
Mrs Alpha G. Rambo, wife of w.
B. Rambo, millwright was drowned
yesterday afternoon in the Missouri
River near the Quindaro Pumping
Station. In company with her Is
year-old son, Ross, Mrs Rambo. was
taking a stroll along the river. She
left him for a moment, saying that
she would return soon. A few
moments later the boy saw his
mothers body just beneath the sur
face, He swan out and brought it
ashore All efforts to resuscitate the
woman failed. An examination show
ed Mrs Rambo's footprints leading
directly into the river. The Coroner
was notified. Mr. Rambo said last
night he believed the drowning acct
dental, as Mrs Rambo had been in good
health and apparently happy. "-Tope-

CUT IN FARE TO NEW YORK ON
PECK.

New Fare Of rs Cents Puts New Haven
Line on Equal Footing With Other
Line.
1t was announced yesterday that the
New England Navigation company, the
holding company for the New Haven
roads sound steamboat lines, has re-
duced the fare from this city to New
York. 1t has been reduced from 81 to
rs cents.
It was stated by an official Of the
company that the reason for this
change was to increase the number of
passengers who ride on the Peck. Peo-
pie have on going to New York taken
the train to Bridgeport for IS cents and
from there taken the boat to New York
for so cents, making total of IS cents.
The new cut in the fare will induce peo-
pie to ride on the Peck and also sets
the New Haven line on an equal basis
with the other sound lines, under its
control.

A SISTERS SACRIFICE.

Pathetic Story of Devotion to an I'm
fortunate Brother Ends in Suicide.
Brooding and driven to desperation
over the conviction of her brother,
Oliver Smith, on the charge of muir
der in the first degree, Mrs w. 3.
Rambo of Kansas City. Ks. walked
into the Missouri River near the
Quindart Pumping Station a: shat
town OF Monday afternoon md was
drowned. The circumstances all
point to suicide.
Mrs. Rambo was full sister of
Oliver Smith,, in fact they were the
only living members of the Smith
family. Sh was cousin of Congress
man Charles Curtis and Mrs. Rome
Colvin. Three UNITS of Mrs. Rambo,
Mrs Brown, Mrs Smith and Mrs Arm
strong, also live in Topeka.
Those who were in the Shawnee
County District Court room when
Smith was sentenced to be hung for
the murder of Tom Bair, will remember
the woman who sat beside the prisoner
as she rose and cried after the pro-
nouncing of the dreadful words: oh
judge-d-don't!"
That was Mrs Rambo. She believed
in her brother. She thought that he
had a right to kill Tom Bair, because
she was convinced that the latter had
ravished her brothers daughter. Smith
gently restrained her in the court
room. She took his arm and walked
with him into the cell, and there sat
for several hours talking to him and
comforting him.
All during Smiths long confinement
before his trial, and during the case.

GRANr CASE ASSIGNED.

AT the assignment of cases in the SUI
perior court yesterday morning Attor-
new Charles S. Hamilton asked for a
further continuance Of the case of Mrs.
John w. Grant for a divorce against
her husband, ex-Policeman John w.
Grant, which was reopened by the SUI
perior court because Mr.. Grant had
been unable to appear to defend, on the
ground that Mrs, Grant was still i'll
and unable to appear in court.
Attorney Walter Pond, counsel for
Mr.. Grant, objected to the continuance
of the case any longer, stating that
Mrs. Grant had been seen about the
city within week and that to all ap.
pearances she was able to go to court.
Judge, shumway decided that as there
was some doubt as to the illness he
would set the case down for next Tues
day.

ing that such point has never been
decided in this state.

L1GHTHousE CASTE OFF

The case of the Misses Stiles against
the Lighthouse Improvement Co, an
organization formed to promote an
amusement park at the old lighthouse,
was stricken off the docket of the SUI
perior court upon request of Attorney
Ward Church, representing the plaintiffs
The action was for judgment to fore
close on mortgage of $4,000 held by
the Misses Stiles against Captain Sam
uel Thrasher, and the other members
of the company.
Mr.. Church stated to the court that
the parties to the action had come to
an agreement whereby the Judgment to
foreclose would be entered, and a peri
cd of five or six months be given to re-
deem. This was done on the prospects
of the company to interest foreign cap
ital in the project, and to go ahead
with the original plans.
