DISCOVER REMNANT OF

and bring the tidings Of running INT"
ton ,,m,'s between the Bonanza mine
and Quar'zi'c one day last week lney

rial valley with horses. Whcn seen
,h.sc animals we're travelling in
sou,hwcs,crly direction at rapid rate
and the weather being intensely warm
,bey made no effort to nun them down
Il is their belief that the camels were
making for the bottom lands OF the
Colorado river for water, the desert
regions n, this time being dry and
water very scarce in the tanks tha'
are usually well filed during tho VIM
ter months and before the intense heat
cvaporate. them.
The discovery of this remnant OF
herd of these animals is an interesting
incident. As to it's reliability there II
no room for doubt. A few years ago
q drove Of Ave were reported to have
been seen by two Los Angeles mining
men in Mexico below Yuma, and IN
the vicinity Of the Sierra Pinta range
on United states soil others have been
seen.
The existence of camels at this day
in Arizona is easily traced. In the
earlier sixties tho government import
cd nineteen head from Egypt, and they
were assigned to southern Arizona to
perform transportation duties for the
army. They were placed In charge OF
Lieutenant, Mowry Of the army. while
nj jolly aud Greek George, two cx'
pcrts in handling them, were placed
in command Of them. They performed
unsatisfactory service on the old But
terfcld stage route; and later, at Flor
cncc. according 10 n statement made
by Judge y. l.. Griffin yesterday. they
were used in transporting salt to that
town from n point in the mountains
adjacent.
II was finally determined to aban'
don them and they were turned loose
on the desert, and NJ intervals since
remnants Of the drove have been seen.
The camel was placed here originally
because he is indigenous TO the climate
Of the desert, in the hope that his en-
durancc would combat the long dis
tanccs between water stations, rs well
~ aifording rapid communication with
troops on their long marches. They
were failure owing to their obsiinacy
in handling.

game of cards was accused Of swim

ception cleverness has been their chief

ception cleverness has been their chief
attribute
The reason for their display of ring
mastership opens food Of discussion.
The white fighter is usually lad
who has developed his muscles by dint
Of early hard work in a blacksmith
shop or In some other trade where
hard work is the means Of producing
the weekly stipend He seldom studies
the boxing game in the same way that
he studied his trade Neither does he
stop to figure that to perfect himself
in the science Of boxing close applica
tion is absolutely necessary.
He takes pride in his gameness
and usually answers criticism with In
difference. He never admits until too
late, after. some strong armed fellow
has sent him to the mat with punch
that he neglected to duck.
On the other hand, the colored man
usually has very difficult task before
he Is given chance to show his PROV
ess, and many are the obstacles in his
path before he gains recognition. His
opportunities for developing himself
In the manly art are very much more
limited than his white cousins. The
bars are up In all Of the better grades
Of boxing schools for the colored man.
This makes his progress In the science
Of the game all the more remarkable.
And so the reason for the Negros
success as boxer is the same reason
that men attain success in any walk
OF life. The lawyer who would make
his mark must study his profession;
likewise the doctor, the artist and the
musician.

Georgia is often referred to as the

tiveness has won for It that proud dis
tinction. And It is a significant fact
that since the civil war up to the
present time the Negro population Of
the state has been among the most
Industrious Of any In the United States
in many ways. They are credited to-
day with ownership OF twenty
fourth part OF the soil and nearly one
twentieth OF the cultivated land. Their
holdings amount 10 1,420.SSS acres, or
2,20 square miles. trace Of land
larger than Delaware-2,050 square

paper about the Negros treatment un-
der the Taft administration:
When we come to the southern pol
Icy Of Mr.. Taft there is quite prob
lem. Frankly, We are not disappoint-
ed, for We did not expect any fit rec
ognition OF our race for the next four
years.
We have no abuse or even harsh crit
icism for the president. We opposed
bis nomination because We did not IA
vor his southern policy as foreshadow-
ed In his address, We stand on the
same ground today.
We were told by Messrs. Vernon,
Tyler. Lewis Tyrrell. Dancy. Wash
ington and others that Mr.. Taft WAS
the man Of the hour; we should sup
port him and were unwise In support
ing Foraker. Perhaps we were in er-
ror, but II seems less so now than ever.
We now suggest that the Negro office
holders who did so much to nominate
Mr.. Taft also see to It that he keep
faith with the race The honor Of the
race is at stake. and these gentlemen
have a great task to keep their idol
from great idolatry.
II the president follows out his plan
for southern appointments these gen.
uemen, who are all with one excep-
ton federal officeholders. will soon sur.
render TO Democrats or Lily White Re
publicans, which means the same thing
TO the black man. We would like to
know what explanation these erstwhile
defenders Of Hitchcock's steam roller
methods will now make Of the strange
