S. G.. Wilder and
Irmgard.

Negotiations are under way for the
transfer of the American barkentines
Irmgard and S. G. Wilder from Schae-
fer & Co. to the Matson Navigation
Company. by which the latter company
will acquire most of the sailing vessels
in the sugar trade between here and
San Francisco.
F. A Schaefer, head of the firm of
F. A. Schaefer & Co., Ltd, yesterday
confirmed the report, and it was also
confirmed by T. H. Petrie, secretary of
Castle & Cooke, Ltd, agents for the
MatsOn company.
The Matson company at first used
sailing ships in its business, and when
it acquired steamships and entered into
the Island trade on an extensive scale,
more of the sugar ships plying between
the Coast and the Islands were absorb
ed. The sailing feet of the Planters

Southern students Of the Negro prob
lem have continually asserted that In
dustrial restrictions upon the Negro
workers are almost entirely confined
to the north; that objections by white
mechanics to the co-labor of black men
when they have occurred at all in the
south have been an exotic importation
by northern labor unions. Only recent.

What has here been mentioned con.
stitutes the most grave development
in the question Of the existence of the
Negro race in North America and thus
one OF the most serious in its relation
to the whole people, for the question
OF the Negroes right to vote, arising
out of the peculiar circumstances un.
der which emancipation Of the slave
took place, might be settled by the
process Of time, even as the white
mans right to vote has been settled
gradually within very recent time In
this country. But the right OF any
particular race Of men to work at any
thing they can do has never been de-
MED on this continent before, and il
that right Is to be regarded as n mat
ter of dispute the consequences in the
future are incalculable.
No race Of people ever lived in
safety, much less in prosperity, If it
deliberately set about to degrade an
other race. The vast sums spent upon
the education Of the Negro, the great
plants created for the purpose of train
ing him in handicraft, the new gospel
of the most noted leaders of the race
that salvation is to come through In
dustry and sobriety and thrift, will all
be worse than useless IL the Negro is
denied an opportunity to labor at those
occupations for which he may acquire
the skill.

hope as may be the idler's and the

SOLD BAD MEAT.
Art dr Brooken, A Negro Gets
Heavy Sentence.

Arthur Brookens, a negro who for
several days has been conducting a
meat market on Nelson street near
the levee without license, was ar
rested by Capt Chipman Thursday
on the charge of selling spoiled
meat
In the evidence that came out at
the trial it was proved that Brooken
had been III the habit of going daily
TO the city dumping grounds above
the Hol1ey-Matthews box factory
and picking up spoiled meat that
had been dumped there by the Ar
mour Packing Co., after it had been
inspected at their plant and con-
demned. Brookens would take the
meat TO his shop and after washing
it would put it on ice and offer ii
for sale. Several negro families il
that part OF town bought meat from
him. and he was doing quite profit
able business.
The mayor considered the case q
serious one. and one that demanded
a heavy penalty, and accordingly ad-
n1inistered a fine OF $50 and costs
for doing business without license
and S25 and costs for selling impure
meats.

DEATH OF MRS. HAYES.
Daughter of Confederate Chieftain
Jefferson Davis.

Mrs. Margaret Hayes, daughter
Jefferson Davis, died at Colorado
Springs, Col, on Sunday afternoon.
The news of her death was learned
with deep regret by the whole peo-
pie of the state OF Mississippi, who
knew and honored her as the dau-
ghter of the only president of the
Confederacy.
The respect and reverence SO gen
orally paid by the South to the
memory of Mr.. Davis has been uni
versally extended to the members OF
his family, and without exception
they have proved in a high degree
worthy of the honor. AS one by
one they have been removed by
death, the South has mourned the
breaking of each link that bound
the present to the personality OF
the Confederate leader
In the death of Mrs. Hayes the
last of his children have passed
from earth, leaving an honored
memory, not only as the daughter
OF Jefferson Davis, but as a grac-
ious lady whose pure and lofty per-
sonality may we'll serve as an exam
pie to the women of the land her
father loved so well
Following the funeral services
which were held in Colorado
Springs on Wednesday, the elabo-
rate lasket in which the ashes IL
their metllic urn will be placed, will
be taken to Evergreen Cemetery
Next fall the ashes will be taken tC
Richmond. Va, where the South
will pay formal tribute to the mem
| ory of the child of Jefferson Davis.

Improvements of Country Roads
Responsible for Increased Number
of Machines-Wholesal House to
Use Them for Their Men.

That Greenvi1le. is rapidly deve-
lopinig into an automobile center is
an unquestioned fact, as the number
of machines in the city continues to
increase.
In former years the condition of
country roads made it almost inn
practicable for autos. and few ma
chimes in the neighborhood were
compelled to confne their travels to
the paved streets of the city But
by reason of the appropriation of
SIoo, 900 by the board of supervisors,
great improvements have been and
are continually being made III the
roads of the county until they are
in such a condition as to render
autoing a pleasure.
1t is rumored that some of the
wholesale houses will be equipped
with machines for the use of their
travelling statesmen in making the
Delta territory, making it possible
for them TO cover considerably more
territory than can at present be ac-
complished by travel on the rail
roads.
In view of the fact that the in
creasing number of machines in the
| city necessitated the establishing
!! of place to properly take care OF
and repair them, Mr.. ]. w. Wall Is
/ fitting up a garage in connection
with his machine shops on Centra
