Denver. Nov. 11.-That Mrs. Allen
Reed. the Denver woman who on Mon
day last attempted to extort $4,000
from Mrs. Genevive Chanler Phipps,
the wealthy society leader, threaten
ing her and her child with destruction
by dynamite unless she complied with
the demand, will have the support Of
her husband and friends In this city,
should it become necessary to defend
her act in the criminal courts, is evi-
dent from the arrangement already
under way to trace through the detec-
tive agencies her wanderings since
leaving Buffalo Park, Col. three
weeks ago to attend the funeral Of
her father at Pittsfield, Mass.
That she will not be allowed to go
free without 1t being proven that she
acted from an insane impulse at the
time when she was entirely unac-
countable to herself or to others, is
just as evident from the steps taken
by Mrs. Phipps' divorced husband,
Lawrence G. Phipps, the Pittsburg
millionaire. who late last night had
his attorney, Gerald Hughes, request
the police authorities to re-arrest
Mrs. Read and hold her pending fur
ther investigation Of the attempt at
blackmail. In an interview published
today, Mrs. Phipps Is credited with
saying that she will prosecute Mrs.

The Belated Concern of Hypocrites.
Correspondence News and Observer

Correspondence News and Observer
TO the Editor:-The serious con-
cern of the Radical press for the well
fare Of the Confederate soldier is
amazing, when one reflects how little
that party has done for this class
since the civil war. Probably the
excuse will be that the party had no
Confederate soldiers to care for and
therefore was at liberty to put forth
mountain deserters, left-overs from
Sherman's army, and renegade DEM
ocrats for positions of profit and
honor.
Although nearly so years has
passed the said Radical press makes
mighty howl, and gets madder and
madder on account of the treatment
of the Confederate soldier by the
party in power.
Since the redemption from scoun-
drelism in 1876, the Democrats have
done something for Vance, battle
SCARED Jarvis (who by the by is the
best fitted man in the State for
president of the A. and NJ. College,;
Scales, Elias Carr and Gen. Matt.
Ransom-something of the highest
all Confederate soldiers; while the
Republicans were cOntesting with
scalawags, outcasts from other
States, and shrifts from the Demo-
cratic party.
And, Fright thar" as Cloud would
say, put it down that it elected Rus
sell Governor, from whom the vested
interests got the greatest shock it
ever had, because Russell came into
power and "held up" the railroads,
backed by the same gang of isms
that now form the body of the party;
although the prospective head may
by a stretch of presumption be called
conservative.
Nor can that party today pick out
a ticket. except from the unrequited
Democratic recruits, who will care to
run for fun; unless of such men as
will be found to be full of worm holes
And the Democratic party will be
touching elbows, while Butler and
the masses are fighting at Charlotte
to unload the discredited chairman
of the harmony (?) party; and 9th
el "lSe dUUoChluS Cue PIE CiUducl-
brawling for place.
1t matters not whether an ex-reve-
nuer, recruit, a nearly busted busi-
ness man, postmaster or the per-
petual Prof. Britt is run for Gov
ernor, the Democrats will proceed
smoothly to elect Kitchin and the
Legislature by the usual maj ority.
The conservative, business inter-
ests of the State cannot stand anoth-
er rape by the co-operationists.
1S6S-'76 was terror; 1S96-19OO, a
close imitation of the possibilities of
socialism, radicalism and populism
when once in power.
Before it is too late let us begin to
reward some of the veterans of the
Spanish-American War Suppose
the Radical party in North Carolina
take hold of this idea; possibly it
had some persons in that war. Up
North they have already rewarded
the hero of San Juan, the greatest
battle since Thermopylae, with the
Presidency, notwithstanding it took
negroes to unsurround him.
Let us begin this veteran business
early enough this time. Right here
i'll Raleigh are two of those veterans,
Col. Young and Capt. Hamlin, both
colored, only one of whom has been
rewarded.

The Atlanta Constitution, July gath.

Tue Atlanta Constitution. July 24th.
The arrival of the Prince of Wales
at Quebec aboard the battleship IN
domitable marks the opening OF the
celebration in honor of the 300th an
niversary of the founding OF that an
cient city.
The occasion should prove one OF
historic interest to the people OF the
United States. 1t is undoubtedly in
tended to cement more closely the
ties between England and her vast
colony on this hemisphere. But it
will be the part of international
amity for this country to show its in
terest and express it's good wishes.
The presence of Vice President
Fairbanks at the celebration is most
appropriate. His State was formerly
French territory. Indiana, Illinois
and other contiguous sections re-
mained French territory even after
the decisive battle of Quebec. in
which England wrested Canada from
French possession.
The participation of France in the

notice. A Frenchman, Samuel de
Champlain, founded Quebec in 1908.
France ruled supreme vast terrific
ry in America for $50 years there
after.
From Quebec, French explorers
and missionaries explored the wilds
of the Mississippi valley and carried
into this section the light of civiliza-
ton. Father Marquette and Louis
Joliet explored the present State OF
Illinois, and the Mississippi and ILL
nois rivers as early as 1873. A few
years later came La Sale.
In 1775. at Fort Duguesne, France
routed the combined forces of the
British under Braddock and the Vir-
ginia troops under Washington, and
shut the British out of the great
West. Then came the epochal strug.
gle OH the fields of Abraham, above
Quebec. when the courage and valoT
of the French under Montcalm was
overcome by the prowess of General
Wolfe, and the power of France in
North America was ended. This his
toric field is now to become "a me
mortal to these two brave command
ers who lost their life in this struggle
This celebration directs the atten
tion of the country at large to the
fact that American farmers in the
North and Northwest have lately, il
largely increasing numbers, sought
homes in Canada. in the South this
migration has not been noticed. but
it is estimated that it was 6S,OOO
for the past year.
Agricultural possibilities OF Can
ada cannot he underestimated, anC
it will probably be surprise to some
to be told that the efOurteen Canadian
provinces embrace IL territory o
three and a quarter million square
miles. This is as much as the whole
United States, with the addition u
! territory as large again as the
Southern States. Montreal is now L

present celebration one of two-fold

tiOns referred to estimated that the
amount of traffic and the annual
savings would be very much larger .

The Old Time Darkey.
Thomasville Charity and Children.


The Charlotte Observer recently
remarked that Joel Chandler Harris
and John Charles McNeill are the
most faithful exponents OF the spirit
and letter of the ante-bellum negrO's
life that has yet been written. We
are persuaded that this observation
is entirely just and true. Others
among Southern writer's have done
well, but these two are the masters
in the realm of the literature of the
colored man of the old days. They
were not copyists, but wrote under
standingly. They were closely asso-
ciated with the finer type of darkies
now so rapidly passing away. We
happen to know great deal about
the early associations of John Charles
McNeill. He spent much of his boy
hood among the negroes who even
yet speak reverently Of cole marster'
and cole missus" They told him
their quaint and curious stories
when he was a little boy. Into his
young life was poured the riches of
that lore, the fine humor and pathos
of which only those who knew the
old-time negro will ever understand.
We take it that Joel Chandler Har-
ris was reared under the same cpndi-
tions, with the advantage in favor OF
the latt0r, because his childhood was
near the period when the Sou-nerr
darkev was in his glory. These two
men, SO highly gifted were charmed
themselves with the wealth and
beauty and exquisite humor of the
language of the race and gave it to
the world in its original purity
Never, in all they wrote, do these
writer's make a negro say deed
do, for they knew no old-time negro
ever had any use for indeed. " They
have pictured for all time to come

Many Industrial plants are opening

is that there is a demand for farm
tools. Crops are most promising
and a big crop will put what has

and this demand is forcing mills into

PLEASED CROWD
AT The BUTLER

No matter how hard person tries
to discover something new and
amusing he sometimes fail to accom-
plish his aim, but last night the most
unsuccessful fun hunter had his
highest hopes realized at the Butler
theater and laughed and-well go
yourself and laugh with him. a
minstrel show that, from start to fin
ish, was one round of pleasure, held
the boards. Songs were catchy and
iokesc were witty in the extreme.
Al Flournoy, as one of the end
men, had one fit, then another and
all fits were different. His song was
side splitter. Nuf ced.
Mr.. Calhoun, that invincible fun
maker, was at his best. To look at
him meant to laugh. His song,
"Bon-Bon Buddy. the Chocolate
Drop" took the cake.
Mr.. Murphy, that sweet voiced
singer, lived up to his reputation, and
his Brother Sylvest" certainly must
have been big man.
Sim Kerns, that colored Jew, must
have lived very near colered neigh
borhood, for he certainly stole some
| of their actions. He was a hit.
Miss Jean Hathaway as interlocu-
ter performed her part in an admir-
able way. Her singing was magnifi-
cent and called forth encore after en-
core.
And then there's smiling Mildred
Manning, always in demand. Her
song, 'tCome to the Land of b.
hemia, made many fellow wish
that he could accept the invitation.
The rest of the cast sang and acted
the several parts to. perfection II
the Butler and Mr.. Alphin continue
to keep up the high standard OF
amusement, the success of the popu-
lar little play house is assured.

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORKS

The bindery Of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers. promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind Of work Is done, and
1t pays TO patronize home industry.
