THEY OPERATED IN TERRELL
TWO WHITE MEN WHO SOLD Ne
GROES MINING STOCK.
Did Land Office Business in Houston
County, Too, and Are Now Col
leCting the Notes.

The following from the Perry
Home Journal recalls the fact that
two white men canvassed Terrell
county last spring and did big bus
mess selling mining stock to negroes,
one of two of whom bought as much
as 800 worth each. Says the Perry
paper:
Last summer there were several
white men in Houston county SELL
ing the stock of silver mine to ne
groes exclusively. The negroes say
that it was represented to them that
Bishop Turner was at the head of the
company; that the mine was owned
exclusively by negroes, and that
stock would be sold to negroes only.
An evidence that it is true is the
fact that the agents canvassing Hous-
ton county did not offer stock to any
white man, and very few white men
in the county knew whay they were
selling.
The name given the corporation
was the Silver Queen Mining Com
pany, and the mine, undeveloped,
was said to be located at Chihauhau,
Mexico. The price Of the stock was
$1.0O per share, and it was declared
that the prospects for large profits
were great.
THE shares were sold in blocks of
from ten to fifty, each subscriber Civ

Peasant Folk of Rumania Have Gus
toms of the Stone Age.
According to DR.. Emil Fischer of
Bucharest customs and habits direct
ly traceable back to the end of the
Stone Age are still observed by the
inhabitants of the remoter parts of
rural Rumania. The latest statistics
show that there are still in Rumania
over $4,000 cave jewellers in exist
ence, in which a quarter of a million
peasant folk live. These caves are
almost as primitive in their arrange
ments as the original cave dwellings
of the Stone Age
AS recently as in the sos millet,
the oldest Indo-German grain, was
still crushed in Rumania by means of
hand mills, and stored in peculiarly
shaped granaries similar to those
used by the natives of Central Afri-
ca. Today the Rumanian peasants
still use ploughs that are really no
better than pointed stakes At fun
erals a repast named cOliba is par
taken of, consisting of soaked and
boiled corn the exact way corn was
first prepared and eaten by the tribes
of Europe
Even today crabapples and wild
pears are the only fruit known to
the Rumanian peasant, and his vege-
tables are wild herbs boiled with oil
pressed from sunfiower, hemp and
gourd seeds. Medical men in rural
Rumania are still known among the
| peasantry as wizards

THE REPREHENSIBLE PART.
Griggs Tells How South Is Discrimi-
mated Against in Tariff.
From the Triton Gazette.

From the Triton Gazette
In an interview just after his re-
turn from Washington, speaking of
the new tariff bill Judge Griggs said:
"Inasmuch as | have just named
few articles of common consumption
on which the duties have been low
cred it is fair to say that the most
reprehensible of the paragraphs in
the bill so far as the people of the
south are concerned, are the wooden
cotton and bagging and tie para
graphs Wooden duties were con-
structed entirely in the interest of
the wool growers and the wooden
manufacturers. The cotton duties
were constructed solely in the inter-
est of cotton manufacturers and
against the cotton growers. OF course
the bagging and tie paragraph taxes
every man who grows cotton. The
greatest objection to this tax is its
discrimination against the southern
farmers. Inasmuch as the western
farmer is given free binding Irvine
we ought to have free wrapping for
cotton.
las Senator Bailey of the confer
ence con6mittee said in one of it's
meetings, Justice and fair play de-
mand that you either put binding
twine on the dutiable list or put bag
ging on the free list. F"

young ladies' tunics-is extremely
clever.
The Eskimo, is, above all things
hunter, on both land and sea. II
he is going to hunt in his kayak, OF
small skin boat, he crawls out of his
| front door with his weapons, calls
up the leader of his dog team and
gives him a sound thrashing as a
preliminary. This is not done out OF
cruelty. 1t is merely a gentle re-
minder to the leader that he is in
charge of the rest of the team, Mrs.
Eskimo and the family in general I'M
til the moment of his lord and mas
ter's return.
His Daring ON Water.
To see an Eskimo in his kayak in
a heavy sea is to see an exhibition of
the most perfect daring and water
manship conceivable The kayak is
merely a frail framework covered
with skins, in shape not unlike an
elongated Bob Roy canoe. There is
one small opening in the middle, just
big enough for him to sit in and pad
die, and skin apron, which he can
tie around himself.
In this craft he will face a sea
that a whaleboat couldn't look at
and to turn completely over and
come up again smiling and bouyant
is quite common trick with him.
When he is after seal or sea lion
in his boat he watches his chance,
and then throws his harpoon, which
has a long, rawhide line and a blad-
der attached. The bladder acts as
a drap on the animals movements,
enabling him to follow the wounded
seal and dispatch it with his lance
when it is tired.
Some Eskimos have a very cunning
way of Harvesting their dogs. Each
one of team of seven, say, is har-
messed to a separate trace, and all
the traces are of different lengths,
the leaders being the longest. He
starts off, and the others seeing him
apparently running away at once
give chase to try to nip a bit out of
him each dog Juggling at his trace
to try and get a chew out of the
next ahead; the only result, of course,
being that they put in fine amount
of work on the sledge, and the cum
ming Eskimo goes on his way rejoic-
ing.
The leader of the pack has to fight
the other dogs, to lick them into or
der; to hearten up the malingerer on
the trail with tooth and claw; to
choose the path over dangerous ice,
and to safeguard the house in his
masters absence.
Instances are by no means rare of
a team leader, grown old in harness,
dying of broken heart after beine
denied his place in the traces.
The life of an Eskimo hunter is
hard and bitter, but it makes of him
the grim, tough, indomitable little
man who has helped to carry many
white expeditions successfully toward
the pole, and to whom many a starv-
ing, frozen crew from an ice-nipped
whaler owe a deep debt of gratitude.

STUART DIES IN NEW YORK.
Prominent Sporting Man Promoted
Corbett- Fitzsimmons Fight.

NEW YORK. November 1o.-Dan A.
Stuart one of the best known sporting
men in this city died in his home on
West End avenue Saturday. from Brights
disease. after an illness Of year. He
was known everywhere among sporting
men. He was f1fty-two years old.
Mr.. Stuart's most celebrated achieve
ment was the promotion of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight In Carson City. New,
March l.. 1897. Special legislation was
made so that the fight could go to fin
ish i'm that state. The contest would have
been a failure but for the pictures. out OF
which nearly $4,000 was made.
Mr.. Stuart also promoted the Fitzsim-
mons-Maher fight In Lantry. Tex, after
the party had journeyed about the Lone
Star state trying to elude officials.
He owned the Southern Club at
Hot. Springs, Ark, which was called the
Monte Carlo of America. In 1902 the Earl
Of Rosslyn threatened to advance on the
Southern Club with a deadly system to
beat roulette. The owner OF the club in
vited his patronage and offered to make
the limit as altitudinous as desired. The
earl lost faith in his system.
Mr. Stuart has been part owner of the
Oakland race track at Hot Springs for
some time, and was also interested in
the course at Fort Erie.

BIG FOOT BALL BATTLE.
Central and Western High to Fight
for Second Place

The student bodies at Central and West
ern High are at a high pitch OF excite
ment today in contemplation of the bat
tie at American League Park at $50
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon between the
teams representing these institutions
which will decide the second honors in
the high school foot ball championship
series.
Never before in the history Of scholas-
tic athletics in the District has a contest
attracted more interest, and from every
indicat iOn the game will be the best and
the crowd the largest of the present
series.
Only once in the past six years has
Central team defeated Western, in the
season of 1908. when Burly Hamilton.
brother of Capt. Hamilton of this years
eleven, intercepted a forward pass. exc
cuted by Western, and ran the length of
the field for the only touchdown of the
game. The one object of the street
players is TO earn clean victory this
season, and with this end In view they
have been through the hardest work OF
practice since the organization OF the
squad
Two SameS have been played during the
pa It week, one resulting in an overwhelm-
ing defeat, the other in an easy victory.
The results have not been taken seriously
by the followers of the teams. on
neither occasion was the strongest team
in the field.
When the Central eleven goes on the
field tomorrow it will be strengthened by
the addition of two fast players, Howard
who played q star game until he was
forced to retire against the champion
Tech eleven, and Abbot, an aggressive
guard, who has been unable 10 play in
previous games because OF a deficiency
which has recently been erased from his
record.
Yesterday the entire central squad went
on q twelve-mile jaunt over the hills
OF Maryland, and all reported at school
this morning in tip-top condition and
ready for the battle.
While the Central squad has been get
ting in It's hard work Western players
have been primed for the contest. The
team has spent the past week perfecting
new plays and formations. 1t is under
stood they have been drilled for the open
style Of play against their old rivals and
will depend for the greater part on trick
plays for territory.
This afternoon mass meetings will be
held by the roofing contingent at both
schools at which songs and yells will be
rehearsed and addresses will be made by
members OF the faculty and the players
Both teams are light. both are fast and
both are so thoroughly drilled that the
game should furnish good exhibition of
foot ball.
Central places her principal reliance
upon her speedy backfeld. which is con-
sidered the fastest in the city, while
Western expects TO get one or more goals
from the expert toe of Capt. Guy.

There remains only the adjustment of
a few minor details before the franchise
OF the Baltimore base ball club is read :
to pass from Mr.. Edward Hanlon to
Jack Dunn, according to those inter-
ested in the deal. Jack is ready to buy.
He has the necessary sum. and it is be-

name within a few days.
When the purchase of the team by
Dunn came up between him and MIR.
Hanlon the latter stated his price. Dun n
agreed. Jack wanted the team and was
willing to pay the price asked. The de-
lay in closing the deal has not been
caused by a lack Of money on the part
of Dunn. Certain details. IT is said. have
not yet been adjusted. but as soon as
this is done it is believed the transfer
will be formally made.
Dunn refuses to discuss just what he
will do after he acquires the franchise

"PRo" GOLFERS WELL PAID.
Returning Players Enthusiastic
Over Treatment in the West.

NEW YORK, November Is - Eastern
professional golfers recently back from
the Portola week of competitions in Cali
fornia say there was probably more
money distributed among the successful
players than ever before during SO short
time. More than $500 was hung up
by the Portola committee and the differ
ent clubs in the vicinity of San Fran
cisco.
Will Anderson won the largest share of
the money by capturing the match play
tournament at the San Francisco Golf
and Country Club. his end for this alone
being $50. In addition to this he took
first money in the medal play event at
the fffty-dollar prize for the best single
round score in the San Francisco club
event.
Mcdonald Smith. the youngest of the
famous Smith clan, came second in the
amount of money won. He was runner
up in the Portola championship. which
Melted him 1870, took one of the twenty
fve-dollar prizes in the same event and
supplemented this by winning first money
in the tournament on the links of the
ClaremOnt Country Club, his home green,
SO that in all young Smith gathered in
about 500. The visiting pros looked
upon this nineteen-year-old lad as one of
the best players in this country. and they
expressed the opinion that If he had had
more of the experience which he gained
during the Portola carnival, he would
be hard man for any player in the
world to defeat.
1t is not unlikely that number of pro-
fessional matches will be played over
