COCAINE HABIT
GROWING FAST AMONG THE Ne
GROES OF THE SOUTH.
Americas Worst Drug Habit Has
Made Great Inroads With More
Nenacing Portent Than Whiskey.

Currie. commission has found to be

curse OF China and hemp OF India.
have suddenly developed into new
and onlinous phase OF the race prob
lem in the United States. particular
ly IN the South.
Cocaine now ranks with whiskey
as the chief provocative OF rape and
its consequent !ynching bee il the
South" declares Charles W. Collins
and John Day Of the commission in
a preliminary report just published
in full by the Chicago magazine
Everyday Life" They said: Al
ready among the 'aends' and the
policemen who have TO deal with
them. there is talk OF the new field
The phase. with its commercial
suggestion. GENES from the dealers
In the drugs. retailers and perhaps
wholesalers also. Every 'fend. It
should be added. Is more than likely
to be a peddler OF the 'sclt,.' taking
his commission in the same miaery
that he distributes. This new field
is among tbs b,utalized negroes of
the South, who. denied easy access
to liquor by the prohibitive move
ment. are turning to drugs az sub
st!tute."
The commission quotes from
Hanpton's Magazine an article By
Judge Harris Dickson. OF Vicks5urg.
Miss. who told Of contractor who
ordered e pound OF cocaine, TO the
Of the salesman to
whom the order was gtvea. who eI-
postu!ated saying: NO Ean on
earth can possibly want that much
cocaine" The contractor Teite--
ated the order.
"a man who deliberately puts CO.
caine into negro is more dangerous
than he who would !ooculate dog
with hydrophcb;a,' commented
Judge Dickson. The deadly drug
arouses every evil passion. gives the
negro supe-human strength. and de-
st1oys his sense Of fear. Yet the
negro and the levee negro |
will not work without s. So tie
!eyee contractor makes his camp look
ike cross section OF hell. but he |
gets his dirt moved"
This cocaine habit is getting a |
strong hold on the negroes OF South |
Carolina, and We believe It IS respoa-
sibIe for many Of the fendish crimes
by them. The habit is |
!, fearful curse, and IL It is not stop
ped. will destroy the usefulness OF
many OF the negro race. When We
egis!ate whiskey out. We should
also legislate cocaine and o,he.
oernicious drugs out. or they will be
substituted for whiskey by many
white people as we'll as negroes The
;rug habit is worse than the whis-
Key habit.

How Uncle Toms Cabin
Came to be Written.

Dr.. Charles Edward Stowe, Harriet
Beecher Stoves son, describes 10 the
February Circle magazine the In
fluences which led his mother to the
writing of the book which moved the
world.
Mrs. Stoves family had removed to
Cincinnati when she was about twenty
years of age, and there she had had
uIusual opportunities for observing
tire practical workings Of slavery as
an institution.
At this time her brother, Charles
Beecher, was IN business In the city
Of New Orleans in large commission
house which had frequent dealings
with the slave Plantations. He also
kept a journal of his observations and
experiences. His letters were full Of
Inc dents bearing more or less remote
ly on the practical Influence of slavery.
There was an actual Legree, whom
Mrs. Stoves brother Charles met on
the boat returning to his Red River
plantotion with miserable gang OF
slaves that he had purchased in New
Orleans.
Uncle Tom was largely an ideal
character, but the leading traits Of
the composite portrait were drawn
from many conversations that Mrs.
Stowe had with trembling fugitives,
who, on their way to Canada and
freedom, found In her house fvo6,
shelter, kind words and pecuniary
aid.
At last she herself was stricken
down with painful and dangerous
illness. But she could still trust and
pray. And pray she did so ferveLtly
and with sucn faith that her seul
was born into new and glorious ex-
perlence of God s,greatness and love.
In 1850 she joined her husband 10
Main.
After her resolve was formed
months elapsed before she was able
to carry out Der Intention Of writing
something to make the world realize
Che horrors of slavery. The writer IL
obliged to confess that he was him
self the principal bindrance just a,
that time. In December, 1850, Mrs
Stowe wrote to Mrs. Edward
Bescher: GAS long as the baby sleep
with me nights l can't do much a
nything, but 1 will do it. l viii
write that thing II live"
