Government MisquOted
EUCALYPTUS

The Department of Agriculture
has recently been informed that GER
tain of its publications dealings with
eucalyptus have been misquoted by
several companies specially inter ST
ed in selling lands. For iE-.ance.
Circular 81, of the Forest Service.
has been misrepresented as saying
that California will in a few years
be the only source of hardwood sup
ply in the United States. Such a
statement has never been made in any
of the Forest Service publications
and is not considered a fact.
The Department experts believe
that there is promise of considerable
success in the cultivation of euCalyp-
tus trees in many parts of California
but estimates of profit and of growth
have been attributed to the Depart
ment which are unauthorized. There
are many uncertainties connected
with eucalyptus culture, the govern
ment experts say, which the investor
should take into account.
In some cases statements falsely
attributed to the Forest Service in
advertising matter have been cor
rected when attention was called to
the facts, but before the misstate-
ments had been widely circulated.
Secretary Wilson says he does. not
intend to allow the name of his De
partment to be used as a means of
victimizing the public, and that in
the future any concern which attrib-
utes to the Forest Service unauthor-
lied statements may expect the state
ments to be publicly disavowed.

THE CAREER OF A WELL
KNOWN COLORED ATHLET-
&c PROMOTER.

Back in the early nineties outain a
'ittle village called douglas" | had
. frisnd (youngj named Merriam
Hayson. Hayson was - odd in his
many peculilarities as was his name.
| remember the time, when we would
rise as early as four or or FIVE o'clock
in the morning just in order that
some of the many reed birds on the
Eastern Branch might be bagged be-
fore breakfast was fairly over. And
say nothing of walks consisting of
from ten to twelve miles on Sun
day afternoons. We formed a
club, under the name of the "Olym-
pic Athletic Club of Douglas" we
bought gymnasium apparatus such as
trapez. rings, dumbells. etc. And we
held meets, not like the meets of to-
day, for we were too poor to enter
tain the public with such.
It's Origin
There was the Benning Race
Track not far in the distance, and at
the time was considered second to
best i'll the country. We all stood in
with the jockeys and trainers and
thereby gained admission to the en-
closure. We had fairly come to
conclusion after much reading and
observation that it would be a good
scheme to have a track of Our own
on a small scale. So inside of a
week were running. jumping and
sumersaulting on real track. But
that lasted only as long as the races
was here, and was smashed into a
thousand pieces at the closing day Of
the season at Benning.
The Club Breaks
But some how or another it didn't
develope Just right For some OF
the boys moved away to different
sections of the country, and others
lost interest This was the time
old Hayson" came out, and by
Hercules" he came out in a blaze
Of glory. He had worked very hard
al summer in order that a little ex-
hibition, given in his barn might
prove a success. He even went so
far as to interest his mother who was
such lovely sympathizing person to
the ambitious young boy, Well,
when the night for the affair came
and every one had cOngregated, to
witness this great exhibition as it
was quite an affair for the neigh
borhood. Hayson, blossomed out in
pair of bloomers, an athletic shirt
and a pair of rubber bottoms. And
the stunts done upon, the horizontal

bars, trapez, rings, tumbling mats
and punching bag were worth no
ticing. Spins were made upon the
bars, twists in the rings, sumersaults
on the mats and even pieces were
played with the punching bag. At
ter the exhibition every one repaired
to the house for refreshments and a
friendly chat. So concluded that IA
nous day and exhibition.
Attends School
Later on in years, Hayson entered
the sixth grade from a private teach
er and for his first time attended a
public school. Most naturally after
becoming naturalized to the new
sur. landings, he startled both pupil
and teacher with his stunts done up
on the school lawn at recesses. Later
on admission to the high school was
gained by diligent work done IN his
books, and so started the noble work
(athletic) now ringing in the ears of
every young colored person. After
little intercourse with the director
of athletics. It was decided wise and
expedient to make use of his talent,
by a public exhibition given at one
of the halls. And fortunately for
young Hayson he was exceptionally
popular with both the young and the
old, and found very little trouble in
showing the public the necessity of
an athletic education. | believe the
first affair was pulled off somewhere
in the early part of the month of
February, 'o6 under very encourag-
ing circumstances, as the house was
filled, and every one enjoyed the en-
tertainment to the utmost.
Birth of |. S. A. A.
Right here was the birth of the
Inter Scholastic Athletic Association,
for it was never thought of before.
The following Decoration Day mark
ed the first, "Colored Athletic Meet
held in this city. The next winter
marked the first basket ball game
played under the auspices of the
we'll known /. S. A. A., etc.
Hayson Attends Harvard
Hayson attended the Harvard
School Class of 'O6, and had great
success as he was respected for his
ability inside and out of the gym.
He came away with excellent marks
and the people who came in contact
with him were startled. AS there
never had been a colored boy who
attended Harvard, so familiar with
the apparatus of the gymnasium. The
next season Old Harvard was again
attended, but this year he was oblig-
| ed to COnhne his course 10 the praC-
tice course only, as money was COM
ing in very slowly. But that didn't
effect his eagerness to become an in
structor or promoter very much. Fol
the next year he gained his one de-
sire, and that was to connect himself
with the Fairgrounds of Washington
as an instructor, and has been con
nected every since.
Isn't it strange that all the year:

CONTEST IS NATIONAL.
Results This Year Sure To Be Of
Nation Wide Bearing.

New York. Nov. 5.-The republican
campaign committee here In circular
calls attention to the coming election
as "the most important off-year cleo.
ton In q decade"
The contest is of national. rather
than Of local Importance, It is declared,
because OF the fact that the complex
Ion OF both houses Of congress is In
the balance. Practically the whole of
the house of representatives Is to be
selected. while the results OF the votes
for state legislatures will indicate the
division OF the parties In the senate.
Thirty senators will complete their
terms next March 3. twenty-four re-
publicans and six democrats.
Full state tickets, including govern
ors, are to be chosen In twenty-eight
states. Indiana will elect state officers
with the exception Of governor. Arkan-
sas and Georgia have chosen their
state tickets, but will vote for con-
gressmen on November s. In the same
way Maryland. Mississippi, Virginia
and West Virginia, which have no
state officials to select, will turn all
their energies on their representations
in congress. and In West Virginia on
the legislature as well. Alabama,
Maryland and Vermont have already
selected their senators.
The prohibition party has candidates
on the ballots in twenty-five states,
while the socialists are in the field In
thirty-four states. Woman suffrage
will be considered In four states.

THE eesrlleNr PISTOL roreR
Judge Norman c., kittrelI Tells How
to Get Rid of Him.

Judge Norman G. Kittrell In the
Beaumont Enterprise suggests a plan
Of dealing with the pistol toter that
would no doubt bring about an i'm.
provement in conditions. The letter
follows: A
"A remedy for the ruffianly habit OF
carrying pistols and other deadly
weapons which are forbidden by law
to be carried, is easy OF discovery and
of application. and the enactment OF
such remedy is imperatively demanded
in Texas.
THE remedy is simply to amend the
law of homicide so far as 1t sets forth
the grounds and causes which excuse
or justify the act, by adding In sub
stance this provision to the law as
set forth in Article 676. ct seq, Of the
penal code: Provided, however, that
when 1t appears from the testimony
that the homicide was committed or
the assault was made with weapon
unlawfuly carried, such fact shall have
the effect to so limit and impair the
defendants right Of self-defense that
II matters not to what extremity he
may have been brought in the con
fiict, or under what circumstances the
homicide or assault was committed
his act shall be deemd to be unlawful
and shall be murder in one degree OF
the other. or manslaughter, according
to the circumstances of the case
This phrasing may not be entirely
felicitous, but 1t sufficiently indicates
the idea intended to be conveyed.
Such an amendment would be nc
radical departure in law, because 1t Is
now. and has long been the Law, re
peatedly adjudicated by the courts Of
last resort, that II a man designedly

fore he (the defendant) has with.
drawn in good faith from the ARRAY
and is seeking to avoid further conflict,
the act of killing is unlawful, it mat.
tiers not to what extremity of danger
the defendant was reduced in the
course Of conflict SO provoked by
himself.
This is good sense and good law, be.
cause no man could justly be allowed
to take advantage of his own wrong
by pleading self-defense. when he had
himself brought about the conditions
which made the act Of killing neces-
sary.
His right Of self-defense is limited
and impaired, or In legal sense taken
from him, because he was In the first
instance In the wrong by violating the
law.
Now apply this principle to the I'M
lawful carrier Of deadly weapons.
As soon as he puts deadly weapon
on his person when not authorized to
carry 1t, he is a violator Of law, and
upon the principle above illustrated,
when he takes human life or has COM
m,tted any offense against the law
with weapon SO borne, he has for
feited his right to plead self-defense
and Is estopped to do so, because when
he committed the offense he was de-
fiant violator OF law and was armed In
contemptous definace of the statutes
such carrying OF weapons.
Such an amendment can be easily
enacted, because the line and list Of
homicides in Texas, which Is daily
has aroused public senti
ment to that pitch that the legislature
dare not refuse to enact II.
