seconds fiat, along with grabbing off
all kinds Of championship titles, it will
not be because business interferes.
Walker is in the employ of mining
millionaire who owns vast interests
all over South Africa Said millionaire
was an athlete himself before he made
his money, and naturally is quite a bit
interested in Walkers great doings on
the cinder path.
LIST summer when the young colon
ist went to England to compete in the
Olympiad his expenses were betrayed,
it was said, ''by public subscription"
More than likely the mining million
aire footed the bill. At any rate, Walk
err failed to win one of the principal
races he went after in his 1908 English
campaign-the 1OO-yard British cham
pionship. Bobbie Kerr, of Canada, out
ran him in ten seconds fiat.
This stuck in Walkers crop. He
wanted the British title almost as
much as the Olympic honor, and SO he
told his boss. The story goes that
the millionaire generously granted Reg
two-year vacation with full pay to
boot Even when on full time Walker
has a pretty easy job. He comes down
late and goes home early, thereby hav-
ing ample time to do his training.
Walkers salary is such that he is
able to live in good style, and have
everything that a first class athlete in
training should have.

Prohibitionists Seem to
Have the Lead.

NEWPORT. NEWS, Va July 2S.-

place on August 5, is regarded as a
victory by the -prohibtionists
who will cut wide swath in the Vir-
ginia gubernatorial campaign this
fall. Congressman c. Bascom Slemp,
chairman of the state republican ex-
ecutive committee called the conven-
ton to order, about a thousand dele
gates attending AS the "organiza-
ton" is in control, it is believed that
w. p Kent, of Wythe county. will be

tration and Representative Slemp's
management of affairs of the party
will be endorsed. The movement
among the leading negroes of the
state to completely break away from
the lily whites and put a ticket Of
their own in the field will be dis
cussed, but it is not causing the lead
ers any anxiety.
