Considerable anxiety is being man
ifested in. the disposition Of the Hal
tien mission, under the new admin
stration. Dr. H. w. Furniss, Of In
diana, won strictly on his excellent
record, and has the full approval Of
Secretary Of State Root. He con-
Quoted the negotiations Of this gov
ernrnent with much tact and discre-
tion during the recent revolution.
Yet, the altitudinous salary Of $10,-
600 per annUm makes the mission
plum worth contending for, and
there will not be lacking, gentlemen
of diplomatic bent to put in a bid
for itB honors and emoluments. No
one knows just what attitude the
new regime, under President Simon,
will take toward the United States.
If the coharts of Simon and Ffrmin

Furniss as was Nord Alexis, the i'm

cumstances. attending the death and
funeral services of Negro In this
city show that there is another side
to the race Question in the South
than that which is conveyed to the
minds. Of the people of other sections
by the accounts of lynchings. =:
George Washington Walton was a
slave Of George Walton, one Of the
signers. Of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and, as he put it, was one
Of the few remaining members of
that historic family.
Walton was born and reared in
Augusta and when old enough took
up the barber trade, which he follow
ed his entire life, having enjoyed the
distinction Of shaving one man for
53o consecutive years. His upright
character won him the appreciation
and esteem Of his own race as well
as Of the, white people. ?.
He was humble, unobtrusive and
attentive to his business, content to
live useful life and better his own
condition by meriting it. =
In his younger days he became a
member, of the First Presbyterian
church, white, one Of the oldest, lar
gest and most fashionable churches
of-the city, at which he attended SER
vices regularly and was respected by
the congregation. 1t was from this
church that the funeral took place,
and it was attended by many Of the
most prominent white men Of the
city. 80 -
The funeral services were a most
remarkable tribute to a man Of his
race. The music was sung by the
regular choir Of the church and the
services were in every particular as
those over the remains Of departed
white membrs. .> . :.....: .
i, Rev. DR.. J. T. Plunket, the pastor
of the. church, conducted the funeral
!, services, and the relationship be-
+ tween white pastor ana "wf1fte mem
bers of this ar1stocratic church and
the Negro to whom they were paying
their last tribute of respect may be
understood from the preachers
words: s'
Funeral Grafton.
What could L add by word of LID
to the honor Of his long, modest,
humble Christian life as he lived it
throughout all his years in this city?
The older. generations Of citizens
knew the man. Through all the try
ing years of the war and since his
life has been as an open book, seen
and Fead by all. And it was full of
instruction for the young, for it was
not in him, nor of him, to put pre-
MUM upon idlehess in any class or
any race: -~,---- ...---
Through all his intercourse with
those Of his own color and with
those Of the white race he bore him
self worthy Of the grand old name
Of gentlemen. He was true citizen,
and bore e'responsibility intelligently
and faithfully. In every relation Of
life, as brother, husband, father and
citizen, in spirit, and in letter he en-
deavored to be true and faithful. ;
"Out of the fullness Of the pastors
heart I speak. For years he identi-
fed himself with this church.
"And soft is meet that white and
black should gather in the house Of
God, before whom there is no distinc-
ton, to pay tribute to the devoted
father, the humble, true citizen, the
faithful child of God. I lay my per-
sonal tribute on his dust. He never
failed to express his love to me and
he knew that / loved him, and I will
say that George Walton was worthy
Of the love Of any man"

are applicants galore for the prefer

Ill our opinion, they are on the wrong

them the value Of going in for places

on the showing that the race has not

many vacancies where white men

can just locate these cases in the

Ing and happy arrival at the goal
for a goodly number of the brethren.

ed competence: merely. because some
body else wants to connect with the
pay roll. This "tip" comes from a
reliable source, and it can be taken
by the masses for what it is worth
While the campaign was fought
out with rare skill, the new<fgures
that arose to natural stature, were
unusually few, The brunt Of the
battle. up to the closing six. weeks,
was borpe by the newspaper men,
most of whom had already achieved

gladiators who garnered glory were
employed locally in the states, filling
in to a nicely, the compact which
Chairman Hitchcock had built up.
In all probability, the reward that
is to come to these useful forces will
depend very largely upon the RECON-
mendation of the Senators and Rep
resentatives Of the several states,
backed up by the testimony Of the
State Chairman. The big places,
will, Of course, be handled by Presi-
dent Taft, personally, and it is to be
presumed that he will - scan the
character and fitness Of the appli-
cants with great care, albeit In SYM
pathy with the aspirations Of the
deserving. It would not be .appros|
pirate at this time to enter into dis
cussion Of the individual claims Of
those who have been of value to the
party, but it is safe to say that when
the record Is made UP, such states
as Nav York, Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana, illinois, Missouri and New
Jersey will not be overlooked, while
material encouragement may be ex-
pected for our perservering brethren
in Tennessee, Colorado, Virginia..
Maryland, Georgia, Florida and

made it plain that he holds no malice
