MAYOR WILLIAMS OF NEW
ZEALAND.

Augusta, CO. -Augustians, white and
black, are interested In the story and
achieveme OF Robert Brsdwell Will
liams, a.Negro who was born here
about the time Of the civil war, who
4 was graduated from Yale University
4 then because OF q wandering minstrel
and finally landed in New Zealand,
where he became British subject
studied law, was admitted to the bar
and was finally elected by white
y British subjects as mayor OF onsiow'
the town OF his residence:
He reached Aug usta after travelling
IL 600 miles, for no other purpose than
to see once more his aged mother, VINO
lives in an humble tenement on third
street.
Williams goes to London, where
with Others Of committee from New
ze.Iand. he will have an audience with
King Edward VII, by special appoint
ment to discuss political questions in
the British dependency. ..
It speaks we'll for the man that AFTER
living twenty years and winning hon
ors in a land where there is no color
line he somes back to Georgia and
conducts himself in a manner that
must command the commentator OF
honest southern people.
His comments OH general conditions
are keene and interesting He had not
seen any American newspaper IN
number of years, and said:
ST do not exactly understand how oil
the newspapers dare to refer to Presi'
dent Roosevelt as Teddy Why II
any British newspaper spoke OF His
Majesty; King Edward, as Eddie 1t
would mean lifelong imprisonment for
the editor.
williams says the moving spirit in
New Zealand at present is socialist'c;
that the government has given more
recognition to socialistic principles
than in any other country in the world,
and that it has been able to Go this
safely, because socialism there is IN
terpreted conservatively, and in accord
ance with recognized economic princi'
pies and does not share the violent ana
radical views often accredited to social
isis in America and England
