WASHINGTON D. c., May 14.-The

President to discuss the conservation
of natural resources had it's first for
NAL gathering at the White House
yesterday.
Two ideas were developed at the

there should be no limitation to agree

An effort is to be made to get the
business houses to close on Saturday
afternoons, during the big league sea-
son, thus allowing the many clerks a
chance to see some good baseball.
Saturday afternoon is not any too busy
down town as it is, and for the few
houses that must remain open to catch
the out-of-town trade, it might be ar
ranged to at least let a part of their
working force off for an afternoon of
good, keen enjoyment.

The cable received yesterday from
Los Angeles, relative to the coming
yacht race, has created a good deal of
speculation in town, and every one is
wondering if there will be a race.
None of the transpacific committee
have received any further word from
the Coast relative to the race, but it is
very evident that something is being
done on the Coast to have a race. The
Hawaii is ready to go at any time, and
her crew are already starting to get
their sea bags packed for the cruise.
No one seems TO Know who will take
the Hawaii, but it is almost certain
that Harris will be the lucky man. The
decks of the Hawaii are being oiled
and they look as they should have
looked long ago. A man is now on
board the yacht night and day, and it
is his duty to keep the yacht ship
shape. The decks may be recaulked
before the hawaii starts up to San
Pedro, as they have warped a good
( deal and the caulking has come out in
some places, so that in the event OF
her taking green seas on board the
chances are that she would be very wet
below. Just as soon as the race is Of
ficially on, the yacht will be made
ready to start a few days afterward
and when she does clear she will have
the best wishes of everyone with her

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
all our Eastern relations indicate that
the possibility of conflict is too re-
mote to brighten even a demagogue.
Besides, if war does come it will not be
until we have strengthened Pearl Har-
Dor and assured ourselves that the Ha-
waiian Islands will be much easier to
hold from this side of the Pacific than
from the other side.
Wherefore Congress could not see
the merits of the aforesaid bill. What
it did see was the menace that bill
contained for the alien contract labor

portance compared to any chimerical
war issue. Time has changed the point

The baseball games on Saturday af-

the fans plenty of excitement, as the
Kams will line up against the Saints
and the Puns against the Heads. The
first two teams have lost two games
each, while the teams in the second
games are tied for first honor. Both
the Heads and the Puns are confident
as to the result, but the public opinion
seems to be that the Puns will head the
league after Saturday. ChillingwOrth

the second game, while Reuter- and Joy

NEGROES ARE HOMESICK

In yesterdays Times-Recorder was
given an account OF a pathetic letter
from one of the negroes who was
caught in the California fever which
afflicted Sumter and adjoining coun-
ties some months ago. The letter
stated that the writer was bitterly
disappointed in conditions and that
his great desire was to get back to his
old home again. 1t is pleasing to re-
count that his old employer, to whom
the letter was addressed, will provide
the transportation for the mans re-
turn.
According to the writer of the let
ter, many other negroes who started
from Americas so confidently for this
Canaan for the coIored man, are
homesick and anxious to get back to
Sumter once more.
At the time of the exodus-which
was no doubt arranged by some Willy
schemer-it was predicted that the
movement was the beginning of an
even more extended "treck' from
Georgia, as it was expected that the
glowing accounts to be sent back
would lead to great efforts on the part
of the negroes left behind to get to-
gether enough money for the trip.
1t is safe to say that the emigra-
ton of the negroes to California has
reached its food, and that singly, or
by families, many of those who were
lured away will find their way back.
The story of their disappointments
will put neffectual quietus on such
movement for a generation
When the truth is told, the negro
has no such friend in the wide ex-
panse from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic as the white people of the South,
who understand the foibles of the
race far better than any one else, and
who take an interest in his welfare.
Thrown into cold and strange coun-
try, where individual achievement
is all that interests the negro is shown
no consideration. His infirmities are
not countenanced and his short COM
ings are not overlooked.
While the white people of the South
have nothing but condemnation for
the really criminal negro, those who
are worthy always have friends who
are willing to help in time of need,
either with money or in extricating
offenders whose derelictions are small.
There is place for the negro on
the farms of South Georgia, where he
can make good living and more. He
knows the people and the climate bet
ter than he will ever know any other
people or climate. He can be pros
porous and happy at home. Any calls
to a far-country where life is one
sweet song are decisions.

|FAVORS T0NING DOWN
OF INSCRIPTION
Constitutions Suggestion
About Wirz Monument.

The Atlanta Constitution in an able
editorial recently discussed the mat
ter of the proposed inscriptions on
the Wirz monument in a calm and
dispassionate manner, the editorial
being headed Let us Have Peace +"
The paper took the position that the
reference TO the trial and execution
Of Major Wirz as AN Illegal court
martial and a judicial murder on
the tablets was ill-advised. The sug-
gestion is made that an inscription
be chosen which viii do the dead JUS
tice and also be less provocative of
strife
. The Constitution says in part:
In some manner the impression
was conveyed that the Daughters of
the Confederacy, Georgia Division.
had already agreed upon an inscrip-
ton for the monument to Maj Wirz
which referred to his trial as an H.
legal courtmartial" and his execution
as a judicial murder"
The impression thus conveyed is
erroneous. Capt Louis G. Young OF
Savannah makes the statement that
the expressions that have given of
Tense were merely a suggestion; thai
they have yet to be passed upon by
the Daughters of the Confederacy
and that it is probable the proposed
inscription will be materially modi-
fed"
NO student of history can now
question that the trial and execution
of Maj. Wirz took place under abnor-
nal and inf1ammatory conditions. A
the close Of four years war, the
North was no more qualified to judic
tally determine the merits of such Z
case than would have been the SoutI
under similar circumstances Ran
cor, born of death and suffering, were
rampant in both sections.
The people of the South have al
in-alienable right to their innate con
victions regarding the nature of the
services of Maj. Wirz or any othel
Southerner, while a similar RICH
extends to the people of the Nortl
with regard to their heroes. Ye
when an inscription is to be chosen
for the Wirz monument. we believe
that one can be selected that will BIZ
more pacific and less provocative than
that suggested, and at the same time
do full justice to the fidelity ant
achievements of the man whose mem
DRY is to be honored.
