Echoes of southern Slavery.

QBy John S. WiSe.)
The earliest years of my life were
spent on the eastern shore peninsula
in Virginia There were large slave
owners in that section, and yet, under
the influence of General Washington S
example-for his memory was idoliz-
ed among those people-a great many
slaves had been manumitted by will
and many mad remained in the com
the free negroes were regarded. They
were not feared or disliked or discrim-
mated against in such a way that they
had not a fair chance of living. Many
of them had homes, and reared their
families on land owned by themselves.
Many of the whites were opposed to
slavery, not slave-owners themselves,
and glad to employ them The free
blacks found employment as mechan-
les or as laborers without the slight
opportunities to better themselves that
their condition as free negroes ought
not to have brought reproach upon
them in any comparison between
them and the slaves, if they had used
their opportunities to their best ad-
vantage. Yet it was a notorious fact
that the average free negro in that
section was neither so well fed, nor
so well dressed, nor so well cared for
in health and sickness as the slaves.
In fact, the home of a free negro might
the lack of thrift about it. This arose
from the fact that the free negro was
notoriously improvident; that his own
appearance, and the appearance of his
stock, and even that of mis- dogs, be
spoke a happy-go-lucky disregard OF
thrift that was unmistaka BILE. Our old
gardener, Uncle" George Douglas
who had been inherited from my faith
er'S grandmother and named after her
father, Col. George Douglas, and who
although slave, was a wit, philos-
opner, a gentleman, and a much-fear-
ed and much-respected member of oul
establishment, had an expression for
those who showed lack of family pride
or attachment: of such he would say

Work on the Pipe Line Begins.

Work on the Pipe Line Begins.
From Captain News.
The engineers attached to the South
western railway company, who for
several months have been engaged in
surveying a pipe line from the south
fork of the Rio Bonito to Carrizozo,
having completed their maps and
drawings, went into camp on the Ind
ian Divide Thursday. Their business
on the Divide is for the purpose of
surveying and drawing plans for tenn
porary tracks and switches on which
to run cars containing material for
the ninety foot dam to be built this fall
on the south fork, and also thirty-five
miles of 30-inch iron piping to convey
the water from the reservoir to Carri-
zozo and other points on the main
line. A wagon road from the terminus
of the tracks to the site for the reser-
voir will also be surveyed, and the
work of building and grading it will
be commenced within ten days. Not
withstanding the legal protests fled
by the water users along the Bonito
against the railroad monopolizing the
waters of that stream, the company
seems determined 20 go ahead and
take it. AMI pay damages to those in
much money. and are usually won by
the side having the heaviest artil-
lery.

dollars a1d costs in Justice Welter's s
court this morning upon a plea of

w. j. BRYAN REPLIES TO
STATEMENT OF TAFT.

From Ell PaSO Herald.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27.-Mr. Bry-
ans reply to the speech of Secretary
Taft at Columbus, o., was given out
last night. The secretary is condemn
ed as a tstraddler" on nearly all the
important issues and criticised for not
taking advanced grounds on reforms.
Mr. Bryan complains, also, that his
own position has been misrepresented
by the secretary.
Mr.. Bryan says: Secretary Taft's
speech will prove disappointment
to those who expected a clear bugle
note in favor of reform. here is not
a single question on which he takes
a strong, advanced position.
"On the railroad question he favors
preventing watered stock: opposes
the consolidation of competing lines
and the duplication of directorates.
$50 far, so good. But he does not
advocate the ascertailing of the value
of the roads, or the reduction of rates.
He even defends the President from
the charge of favoring the reductions
made BIZ the states. The railroads may
object to his rhetorical denunciation
of abuses, but they will hardly be
scared by ais remedies.
"On the trust question. he thunders
at unlawful trusts, but not only does
not recommend new legislation, but
takes the position that a monopoly
may not be harmful. He seems to lean
toward the idea that it must be con-
victed of some harmful act, and this
throws the burden of proof on the
government.
He recognizes that restraint is
more difficult when one corporation
swallows up a lot of other corpora
tions;;' that it involves enormous Ia
bor on the part of the government
to prosecute such a combination be
cause the proof of the gist of the Of
fense lies underneath an almost linn
itless variety OF transactions and yei
he is opposed to the license system,
which would enable the government
to absolutely prevent monopoly. In
lother words. he gives the benefit OF
the doubt to the corporation instead
lof to the people.

pose will mean mucn for Lake Arthur.
About $500 acres are involved in the
