A short time ago negro boy was
waiting to get his dinner from my
kitchen, and while waiting he began
to talk about people in South Caro-
lima. His conversation consisted of
a detailed account of what he had
seen in his travels in that State,
where he said he had seen white men
and women eating at the same table,
using the same towel and dipper and
bucket with the negroes. He seemed

The white men can use their pow
er to keep negroes from hunting on
their premises with a pack of old
hungry dogs three hundred and thir-
teen days in the year by enforcing
the law. Then when you ask big
burly son of Africa to do a days
work he won't laugh in your face
and say he does not have to work,
that he hunts for his living. How
many negroes in Georgia own land to
hunt on? Very few, but every ne

The Ashes of Love
Jake II. Harrison

And these are the ashes of love,
So light, and so easy to blow,
The remnant of kisses and vows,
The waste of the sweet long ago!
The dust of the hopes which are dead,
The shadow of days which are past,
The seal and the signet of Fate,
Yet love never dies No, alas!
Then scatter the ashes, O winds,
Till not one white ash shall remain,
And oh! could you scatter as wide,
This heartache, this unceasing pain
And leave, as these ashes, as dry,
The eyelids now flooded in tears,
And scatter, as ashes and dust,
The sorrow of long reaching years!
These ashes were letters-so dear!
The treasures of day which are gone,
And burning them, as I have now,
Brings memories sweet rushing on;
The love scenes, the kisses and smiles,
With moonlight and sea in the train,
And waltzing, and days in the hills,
And alb then the parting and pain!
Then silence, and waiting, and fear,
And hoping, and praying, and tears,
And loving the shadows and past,
For years-oh, such long weary years!
! To find in the end he was false,
And then as a poor wounded dove,
With close folded wings, hide the dart,
That preys on the vitals of love!

this. A great many have solved it
by suggesting to the ladies to do
their own work This is a good idea,
but there are drawbacks to some of
this Some of the ladies in the
country are much pleased to do their
own work if they did not have, also,
to take the place Of the cook for ne
gro wage hands. Not long ago I
heard two negroes talking. One said
to the other: Where are you work
ing now?" The other replied that
he was working for Mr.. Walker and
he was eating the white women's
cooking. The first negro asked the
second where his wife was, to which
he replied: II don't know. I quit
that lazy thing, dat oman wouldn't
cook nor wash for me, so I dooses
ems cooks for me-" Now I don't
know how the other ladies feel about
this matter, but for one had rather
do all my own work and take in
work than have to cook a meal for a
negro. l would gladly help to box
the last one up in a boxcar and ship
them back to Africa, for most of
them will take anything that is not
nailed down.
There are other disadvantages
when we undertake to do our own
work. For instance, the Southern
homes are not built with all the con-
veniences that Northern homes are
''}ilt with, and Southern woman
does twice the work a Northern one
does. Take the laundry work:
when Northern woman washes the
clothes she stands in a warm bath
room and has a washing machine,
wringer and washing powders to
tighten her labor; even her clothes
line is stretched along a back porch.
The Southern woman goes to a we'll
with a bundle of clothes. She draws
water from sixty-foot we'll, then
she bends over the rub-board for half
day to wash and wiring these clothes
and maybe the we'll Is two hundred
yards from the house. When she
gets through with her wash she is
more dead than alive. Then we
don't wonder that she prefers to
have strong, buXom negro woman
to do her work for her. When the
white woman does her work it is
f1rst-class and she still has her mon
ey in her pocket, but when the ne
gro does it the money is gone and
the work half done. The white men
Of this country have it in their DOW
err to solve the negro question. Let
them build convenient houses with
laundry rooms attached to the house
with laundry stoves and have the
water in reach Of the women and the
work will be done in less time with
less labor and their wives will not
get old and ugly while the men are
picking out their second wives. Let
the men discard their colored board
ers, equip their farms and barns
with labor-saving machinery and his
poor little tired wife will look young

So far as Douglas is concerned. his master ef-
forts by no means confined TO jumping stymles.
IL was only year ago. during one OF the earlier
rounds of the metropolitan championship at Bal
tusro that the Scotch-taught amateur brought
off shot that will live long In the memory or

Travers. and the pair had driven from the fourth
tee. Douglass drive. trife pulled had left the
ball in a wagon rut close 10 the woods but
Douglas rose the occasion by taking his brassie
and without sollng the club actually swept the
ball away from its ugly lie as straight as rifle

any other player would have been content to play
short with an iron. though it meant the loss
of n stroke.
other great shots were brought Off in this same
tournament. In the final round Travers. while
playing against Charles II. Seely. had the mis-
have his ball buried several occasions
in the mud A case in point occurred at the island
tenth green, where his mashie approach left his
ball completely embedded. There was nothing left
to do but resort to the nblick which the champion
did with such skill that the guilty. was not
only unearthed but it actually came to rest yard
from the hole There may have been a certain
element of luck In this but 1t Is also an acknowl-
edged fact that comparatively few amateurs know
how to a nibck properly. Travers does, and
1t is this knowledge that has got him safely out
of many a tight place
On that same day TTavers made a recovery while
going the home hole that has rarely been dupli-
Gated by an amateur In this country. His pulled
drive left the ball In awkward place under
tree. that it was impossible to play direct for
the flag. In addition to this he had to keep the
ball low Travers took his iron. however. and
rot only got the ball away ceany, but even inn

the green. thus enabling him to get halve in
four.
The value of niblck occasions for approach
work clearly demonstrated by Stuart Gardner
during a professional four-ball match at Baltusrol
several years ago. He laid his approach the
home hole with his nibck in a manner that made
the gallery gasp. The ball was pitched unusually
high and with SO much underspin that II actually
bounded backward after striking. and incidentally
stopped dead the pin, so that Garner was able
win the hole in three. He always claimed
that there are times when the nibck is much

one who happens 10 be blessed with happy goifns

When all these things taken into considera-
ton It is easier to understand why great players
fail to bring off their master strokes on certain
DAYS. Some years ago excellent Illustration
bearing out this point was furnished during
professional tournament at Lakewood. Playing
together were Jack" Hobens, now the metro
pclftan omen champion, and VIII Smith, who since
then has cast his fortunes in Mexico. Both were
Titanic drivers, Smiths tee shots being especially
long. The result that Hobens soon found
himself being outdriven from nearly every tee,
a new experience for the North Berwick product
There was only a few yards difference at first,
but Smiths advantage became greater as the
round progressed. due to an increasing wildness
on Hobenss part. Finally Hohens said:
II can't get the balls away right to-day I'm
hitting them all the heel, and 1 don't know
what's causing it."
A veteran professional who overheard the re-
mark said afterward: ITS easy to see what's
the matter Smith has got Jock pressing
Speaking of shots out OF the ordinary recalls
an incident in the match between Findlay S.
Douglas and Daniel Chauncey in the metropolitan
championship tournament at Apawamis a number
of years ago. The pair had played several holes
without either having much or an advantage
when on one of the green's Chauncey laid Douglas
a styluie. AS the latter's bali was scarcely egh-
teen inches from the cup. and he was playing
the like. the hole under normal conditions, would
nave been his. Furthermore, Douglas wanted that
hole, but the only possible to get il was for
him to jump his opponents ball, risky proceed
ing for mistake might have resulted in the hole
going to Chauncey. Nothing daunted, Douglas
took his mashie and with beautiful stroke, as
delicate as it accurate. pitched his ball direct
ly over the other plump into the cup and won the
hole.
You're the luckiest man l ever saw, observed
Chauncey as they walked TO the next tee. While
there is unquestonably certain amount of luck
attending the successful pitching of stymie yet
there are those who make study of this branch
of the game and frequently turn it to good ae-

words individuality goes a long way in golf. Some
men find II impossible to play their best game
when pitted against certain players The slow.
deliberate chap who insists taking walk from
his ball to the hole before each approach shot is
a terror TO the who thinks and acts quickly.
Ofttimes before starting out, the quick player
fully realizes the peculiarities of his opponent and
registers mental resolve not to look at the other
fellow when the latter is making his shots. but
how often have these well-meant resolutions been
cast 10 the winds. In nine cases out Of ten the
