Americans have been amazed at the
reception given Theodore Roosevelt
abroad. II seems incomprehensible
that Europe with its response and
self-suficiency should give so enthus-
iastic reception TO any American
citizen, whatever his worth.
But a Leipsic publisher makes the
mystery clear. Alfred Walter Won
Heymel, keen observer who has been
studying America, says that Europe
likes Roosevelt 80 tremendously be
cause he IS the typical American. He
represents To Europe the real signif-
canoe Of this big. fresh energetic land;
he typifes its power its virtues and it's
faults he is unique. as America is
unique, and Europe welcomes the man
Roosevelt with open arms.
All over the United States" says
Won Heymel, Il have met modified
types Of Roosevelt. This is the man for
whom we looked 20 the new world. A
new type Of mana man who was not
merely a money seeker or an inventor
or a preacher, but a man Of many
sides, eager 30 do things. and equipped
90 do things well.
1T is the originality of the Ameri-
can which impresses US, and we are
all the more eager 10 see the Ameri-
can preserve that originality in every
walk OF life. Roosevelt dares 10 be
himself at all times and under all con-
ditions, and the American can only
realize himself when he is genuine"
This is an excellent sermon with
Roosevelt as a text. The less Amer
lea apes Europe, the more Americans
dare TO be themselves, the greater re-
spect our country and our people will
gain from the old world. We have the
elements that Europe lacks. as Europe
has, the repose and culture that we
lack, but are slowly developing. IL Is
not strange that Europe sees Roose
welt, with all his faults" as the ideal
American.

TWO STORIES TOLD
OF Negroes DEATH
Coroner Thinks Lynching o.
Cured Near Dolomite
BODY FULL OF BULLETS
WyIam Police, However. Believe Man
Wns Called From His House and
Murdered BY Negroes-In-
vestigatiOn to BE Made

Early yesterday morning, between mid
night and a. m, a negro named Jim
Halter was mysteriously shot and killed
near the side of the road between Wylam
and Dolomite. The authorities appear to
be divided as to their theories regarding
the case, the Ensley and Wylam police
holding to the belief that robbery was
the motive. while from the facts which
Coroner B. L. Brasher has been able to
gather the county official is lead to be-
lieve that in the death of the negro there
is a case of lynching.
The two stories are so widely different
that one would be inclined to scout the
idea that they have to do with the same
killing and apparently an official investi-
CATION, alone, will clear up the case.
Coroner Brasher returned late last night
from the community where the crime &C.
Cured and circumstances which he gath
cred lead to the lynching theory. The COR
orner declares that information which he
gathered Is to the effect that sometime
after midnight Monday morning crowd
of men went to Hatter's home, which is
located in the settlement known as No.
quarters, and tried to make the negro
come out of his house.
| II seems that the negro declined to obey
the order according to the coroner s
story, and it is declared by witnesses that
| the crowd of men entered Hatter's home
and dragged him out of bed Taking him
forcibly from his room. 1t is stated that
/ l.; dia.
lance and murdered him, fairly Kidding
the body with bullets. The coroner states
that there are fully 25 bullet holes in
the negro's corpse.
The statement of Hatters wife, it is I'M
derstood, is that she could not tell wheth-
err the men who came to the house dur
ing the night were white men or ne
groes.
when Hatters body was found it bore
no clothing except an undershirt.
AS to the circumstances which led up
to the supposed lynching. the coroner
states that the story furnished him is
that Halter has been hiding Bert Spencer.
the negro who stands charged with the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Young few
DAYS ago. 1t is said that Halter had been
carrying food to Spencer and that when
asked about it he declared that he was
carrying it to one of his friends In the
mine. However, the story goes that an
Investigation was made and the friend
denied that Halter had brought him any
food
These facts lead to the belief that thu

early Monday morning with view OF
forcing him to tell where Spencer was
hiding. and Coroner Brasher states that
he supposes, from the facts as stated
to him, that Halter refused to give
the midnight visitors any information,
wherewith they took him out and dealt
summarily with him.
The wife of Halter appears to know
little or nothing about the affair, or
If she does she Is not disposed to tell
it, Her only statement regarding the
supposed posse, is that she believes the
men who came after Halter were not
negroes
The theory to which the Wylam police
cling is that Halter was shot and killed
by negroes and that robbery was the
motive Regarding the killing 1t seems
that the police have evidence that Hat
ter was called out of his house shortly
after midnight and that he was not
forcibly taken away. They seem to be-
lieve that Halter went off with the ne
groes willingly.
From the evidence which the police
have it seems that shortly after Halter
had left his room, in response to the
calls from outside, shots were heard
short distance down the road. However
II seems that no one was excited by tbs
firing. because the body was not found
until yesterday morning shortly after
O'Clock.
II will thus be seen that the stories
vary widely and apparently there are
two sets Of negroes dealing out different
versions.
The coroner states that he did no
have an opportunity to investigate th'
case fully Yesterday afternoon. but tina
be gathered quite a lot of evidence
He will conduct an official lnvestiga
ton of the killing at the Ensley cit!
hall Friday morning at IL o'clock.
