JAPAN'S KOREAN POLICY
Nav Be a Serious BLOW to South's
Cotton Trade.

The government of Japan is going
to close the open door in the Far
East; intends to monopolize the
trade OF Korea and is operating dir.
ectlv against the cotton and cotton
goods trade Of the United States.
Such is summary OF the state
ments made at Atlanta last week by
Prof. II. B. Hubert, known all over
the country as the Yankee School
Master" and who has for a number
of years been located in Korea, and
who is acknowledged to be an au-
thoritv on Korean affairs.
Prof. Hubert was in consultation
With Harvey Jordan, president Of the
Southern Cotton Growers Associa-
ton. relative to the situation in the
Far East, and made the statement
that the execution of the japanese
plans in Korea will be terrific blow
to the trade from the southern Sec
ton of the United States.
Prof. Hubert is the editor OF the
Korean Review" largely quoted in
this country, and elsewhere, as a mir
ror of the true situation in that coun-
try. He goes to Birmingham and
from there to New Orleans. In each
place he will confer with the more
prominent cotton interests relative to
the Korean situation.

Oldest Town in America.

Taos, the ancient Indian villege of
New Mexico, is probably the oldest
town in America. There are two
great pyramid houses, one five and
the other seven stories high. occu-
pied by the entire tribe, numbering
about 400 persons. These buildings
are considered the most perfect ex
amples of early Indian architecture
in existence, for, while they were
build considerable more than 500
years ago, and have been continuous
ly occupied, there is not the slight
est sign of decay. Indeed, they are
in a state of perfect preservation.
The Indians who have lived in this
quaint village for so many genera
tons are simple, quiet peaceable.
They are mostly tillers Of the soil.
The governor of the village is elect
ed for a year at a time, and the meth
cd OF making choice is exceedingly
odd. The occupants of each house
choose a runner to represent themin
foot race. The occupants If the
house whose sprinter has won the
race chooses the governor. The Taos
girls are considered among the most
graceful in the world.

lEiSSouri'S Public Land.

Missouri is the only state in the
Union in which public land may be
purchased outright without the for
mality Of settlement and cultivation.
Some of it can be purchased as low as
S1.25 per acre, and it may as we'll be
stated at this time much Of it prob
ably isn't worth any more than that.
When you buy Missouri land from
the government, it is strict spot
cash transaction, and there is no
clause in the bill of sale which pro-
vides for the return Of your money
if not satisfied with the goods. How
ever, there is a lot of this govern
ment land that is certainly worth the
price asked for it; particularly that
in the Ozark mountain region, where
it is covered with fine timber. Some
d;:y this territory will be opened up
by a railroad and then the claims
viii prove their worth. Missouri pub
lie land can also be obtained IN the
prevailing in other states, by
settling upon the claims for q certain
period and making the usual improve

InuIana Youth Suffers For His Bad
Reputation.

Inulana Youth Suffers For His Bad
Reputation.
Another Jean Vatican has been dis
covered in Carl Hunt, recently ar
rested in Kokoma, Ind, where he was
employed by the kokomo Steel &
Wire company anu has been living
model life for more than year. Hunt
had escaped from the Indian School
for Boys, at Mansfield. His record
SHOWS tuat his life at Kokomo has
been exemplary, that he mas spent all
his time at work and study, at
tended Sunday school, saved his
money, and been promoted many
times since he entered the employ of
the company. 1t is probable he would
have risen to place Of great trust
under the company, had not some one
learned of his past and informed on
him to the authorities. Hunt made
no resistance to going back to the
institution from which he had escap-
ed, but he stated he was deeply dis
appointed at the necessity for it.
Hunt was sent to Plainsfeld from
Bringhurst, as an incorrigiDie at nine
years of age He won enough credits
in a year to be granted a parole. Soon
after his return home a grocery store
in his town was robbed. Suspicion
pointed to him as the culprit, though
trial revealed he had nothing to do
with the robbery. He was not releas-
ed but sent to the school at Plain
field again. He was 'trusty' there
until year ago, when he managed
to escape.

PROTECT DOVES.
President of Audubon Society Ap
pa.IC IN the Farmers.


peals to the Farmers.
Mr.. B. F. Taylor, president OF the
South Carolina Audubon society,
makes a personal appeal to the farm
ers of the State to protect the doves.
Writing from Hendersoyille, Mr.
Carolina, he says:
Complaints are coming to me
from all parts of the State by game
wardens advising that certain hunt
ers, being aware that our legislature
in repeating an old law concerning
game birds and enacting another,
failed to specify doves among those
protected during the close season.
and are now shooting them.
"The dove is one of the most val
liable birds on the farm. In re-
cent pamphlet published by our So
cietv it was illustrated that the stom-
ach of one dove by actual count con
tanned 10000 weed and grass seed.
Think how much hoeing that repre-
sents on farm!
81 would therefore appeal to the
farmers to allow no one to shoot
the doves on their farms until the
regular hunting season opens. And
if the hunters have the least spark
of craftsmanship in them trey vii!
refrain from taking advantage of a
technicality, I am sure no one thinks
for moment the legislature intend
ed to remove the protection from the
dove alone of all our birds.
This society has spent during the
past spring and summer something
over s40O in fish and bird protection
and i IN pamphlets for distribution
telling the people of the value OF
birds. We want the cooperation OF
all the people and hunters especially
for by our enforcing the law the hun
ter profits largely in having more
birds to shoot.
eve hope this class will help US
in our predicament and make a law
for the doves without the assistance
Of the legislature. Public opinion L
stronger than any law.

4 WHITE BRUTE.
to Commit an Assault on
Wife'S Sister.

A dispatch to The State from Sal
uda says Mike H. Mitchell, a white
man about 55 years old, was lodged
in Jail Sunday night, charged with
attempting to commit criminal as
sault upon his wife's younger sister
at his home Saturday afternoon. In
the evening an urgent phone mes
sage was sent to the sheriff asking
him to come to the home of Mrs.
Mary Witt, the mother of the young
lady, as soon as possible. All efforts
to ascertain the nature of the trou-
BILE were unavailing until SherlH
Sample returned sunday night with
Mitchell and placed MIN in jail.
The story of the affair as related
to the sheriff is as follows:
Mitchell went to the home OF MS
mother-in-law and stated that his
wife was preparing to go out for the
afternoon and wanted to see her SIS
ter before going. On reacnlns hef
sisters home the young lady went IL
and as soon as she entered Mltchell
followed, closing the door oenlno
him and locking it.
Mitchell's wife and children had al
ready gone away and this was tn"
method employed by him to get the
Young lady to his home. Failing III
his foul purpose he unlocked the 200,
and the young lady went home an
reported the affair. 1t is stated ma
Mitchell followed her part OF tht
way, begging her not to tell 1t ah'
threatening to kill her If she olo.
AS soon as the affair becam:
known armed meE appeared an
trouble of a serious nature was Zee
ed and it is probable .--at they WONT
have taken the law in their own hano:
| if Mitchell had been found. Ih'
sheriff found him near his father ;
home and took him into custody. MI
chell denies the whole affair.
The young lady is held IN the nlsh
est esteem by the people in that coz
munity. Mitchell is a son OF Nj
John P. Mitchell, one OF the mos
substantial as we'll as one OF tne
most highly esteemed men IN tina
county.
The social standing of the two tam
lies involved makes the whole af1alr
most deplorable one.

Save the Negroes.

A colored man by the name OF
Raymond Jackson is detained at the
police station in Columbia to await
the result Of an investigation into
the death of a negro woman. The
prisoner was committed by the coro-
ner, who thinks he has discovered a
criminal Of most dangerous possibil-
tiles. Jackson, it is suspected, has
been doing a fourishing business,
buying cocaine in wholesale quanti-
ties and selling it at retail to the
hundreds of negro cocaine tlends IN
Columbia.
The Record says there is nothing
in the conditions Of life among the
poor colored people Of the city which
so fosters and develops criminal ten
dencies as the cocaine habit. If the
general public had the knowledge
which the police possess regarding
the prevalence of this habit, all
good citizens would stand aghast.
There is a stringent statute regulat-
ing the sale of the drug, but viola
tors are shielded by their customers
and detection is very difficult. If a
case can be made out against Jack
son, his punishment will be severe.
What is true Of Columbia is true
of the balance of the State. The
drug and cocaine habit is INDUCED
in by a large number Of the negroes
all over the south, if the reports
made by the census bureau is cor
rect. The negroes, not knowing the
danger attending the use of these
drugs, fall easy victims to the habit
Of taking them to excess. 1t is said
that they learn the habit at first by
taking so-called medicine that is sold
by fakirs, and which contains large
quantities of morphine or other mar
cotics. Any one caught selling this
hellish stuff to negroes should be
severely punished. Heis not much
better than a murderer and should
be punished accordingly.

some FkKiRS
Who Should Be Locked Up for the
Public Safety.
Negro Preachers Who Claim 70 Raise
the Dead Create Excitement Among
Colorcd People.

The Anderson Mail says for sever
al weeks past meeting has been in
progress at West Union conducted
by jim Knox and Peter Majors, both
colored, which has had a tendency
to cause many negroes to act IN d
wav that has been annoying to the
citizens adjacent to the church.
These leaders claim to belong TO
the sect regarded as The Unknown
Tongue They jabber and chatter
and holler and wnoop and act IN
many other fool ways, and the jude-
ment of some who have attended the
meeting is that the whole push have
gone crazy.
They have gone so far in their
teaching as to leave the impression
upon the minds of these ignorant
creatures that they can raise the
dead to life, claiming that they have
been ordered by the Lord to do so.
jim Knox gave out the announce
ment last week that on Wednesday
night at nine o'clock he would by di-
vine authority raise the body of Silas
Wright from the grave, where it has
lain for the past seven or eight years.
Consequently much excitement
and interests was manifested by the
negroes and long before the appoint
ed hour a large number Of those
who have been attending the meet
ing, and also a few white people who
were anxious to see what would be
done, met at the grave yard,
At nine o'clock, Jim Knox was at
the grave of Silas Wright, where he
began his maneuvres. He began by
shaking two handkerchiefs over the
grave, back and forth, then walked
off a few steps, saying, "The Lord is
not ready for him to rise yet" He
then returned to the grave and ad-
monished his Followers never to
doubt that he would accomplish his
work.
He then began tearing down the
head and foot stones that had been
o aced there to mark the last resting
place of Silas Wright, when Charlie
Wright, brother Of the dead man,
appeared on the scene and put stop
to al the proceedings.
Warrants have been issued for
several of the negroes who were con.
nected with the affair, and they will
have to answer to Magistrate A. P
Crisp on a charge of destroying tomt
stones in a grave yard.
This proceeding closed the meeting
and the citizens Of West Union are
now enjoying that peaceful slumbel
of which they have for several weeks
been deprived.
Nine of the negroes for whom war.
rants had been issued charging them
with mutilating tomb stones were
tried before Magistrate Crisp Thurs
day, but the prosecution failed tc
produce sufficient evidence to con-
vict and the case against them dis.
missed. Mahaley Wright, wife OF
Silas Wright, the dead man VINO was
to have been resurrected, testified
that she placed the tombstones at the
grave, they were hers, and that she
was in favor Of what was done there

Like everything else. says the Low
ell, Mass. Telegram. the cost Of max
ing newspaper has increased. A
dozen or so years ago the getting out
of paper was comparatively mex
pensive. Help was cheap, paper
stock was low, and less reading mat
ter was required. Today printers get
so per cent more in wages than they
got twelve years ago and another
increase is to go into effect Sept. l.
The price OF paper has risen fully a
third and is still rising.
The introduction Of the linotype
into newspaper Offices was felt to be
the downfall of compositors, but time
has shown that there are more men
and women at work today on news
papers than ever before. The reason
is that newspapers give more for the
money than formerly; give more

BIG MAIL ROBBERY.
Three Registered Sacks Stolen From
Fast Mail Train.

Fast Mail Train.
Three registered mail sacks, con-
tanning about quarter Of million
dollars, disappeared from the Burl-
inston train between Denver and Ok
ford. Neb., last Sunday night, and the
posloftice officials have just made the
theft public. The train left Denver
with seven sacks and but four re-
manned when it reached Oxford. De-
tectives and postoffce officials are at
work on the case.
Superintendent J. NJ. Butler Of the
sixth division Of railway mail clerks
believes the robbery took place just
west of the Nebraska line. Both mail
clerks were asleep while the train
was passing over long stretches Of
track with few stations. Butler be-
lieves some one slipped into the mail
car and threw three sacks out Of the
window. He has ascertained that
the valuables were all in two Of the
sacks, one being empty.
The sacks were destined for Chic
ago and were supposed to be placed
on the Chicago train at Oxford, Neb.
Posto3fice officials have all been
warned to he cautious about giving
out information concerning the rob
berry.
