HAD DWELLING IN ODD NEST
Deadly "caroilna TarantuIa" CAUGHT
by Boys on Plantation In
That State.

Mr.. A. W. Pickens OF Garyin town
ship brought to this offiee Saturday an
enormous spider which he called a
Carolina tarantula- 1t was captured
by some boys on his plantation.
The spider was an inch and a halt
long and half an inch broad before
having been killed and drawn to Its
smallest compass. Before being killed
II was much larger The animal was
equipped with ten legs. four at the
PROV and six at the stern, and q par
ticularly wicked looking mouth. The
bite of this spider, Mr.. Pickens says,
is as deadly as that Of a rattlesnake.
Some boys on Mr.. Pickens planta-
ton found q peculiar looking hole In
the ground and decided to investigate.
After digging for 9 while they came
upon an odd looking nest. Prying It
open they found the spider inside.
The nest was provided with a trap
door, which the spider could close
after himself as he went into the nest.
and would be safe from intruders. Mr..
Piekens brought the nest to the city
with him. 1t was a very ingeniously
contrived affair and was Of almost as
much interest as the spider ITSELF

Jim Crow Law Results in
Damage Suit at Muskogee

While It has not been developed in
the trial so far, there is a report to the
effect that the real cause which start.
ed the disturbance which has torn this
community to skaters socially. was
that young Hall had sweetheart who
Is a white girl. and that this was what
brought the race question to an issue.
the young woman being favorite with
certain other young men Of the neigh
borhocd.
The Halls assert that they have a
complete family record which win
show that they are descended from
Portuguese families of noble blood and
that it is this strain that gives
swarthy complexion that has led to
the present trouble.

mas "Jim Crow law is responsible
for a damage suit To- $4,000 now in
progress IL this county. More than
one handred persons are the plain
TINS. They comprise the Halls,

Arthur Bunday and others. composing
the board Of directors Of school district
No. SO In Muskogee county, and sew
eral families that are members OF a
literary society which meets at this
schoolhouse.
The plaintiff prays for judgment on
the grounds that he and his family
have been disgraced by the ostracism
that has been made effective against
them.
The Hall families claim TO be Of
Dutch-Portrgueee descent and to have
proof that there is no negro blood in
their family. Three members OF the
family, A. B. Hall, d. D. Hall and T. ].
Hall, are Baptist preachers. They
have regular charges and preach TO
white congregations exclusively. The
family is widely known in the section
where It lives and the law suit which
is in progress here has stirred the
southern part Of Muskogee county as
it has never been stirred before.
Louis Hall alleges that he had al
ways attended the white school and
that the question as to negro blood had
never been raised until the night of
April 10. 1909. when he went to the
sch0olhouse TO attend a meeting Of
the literary society. On that night he |
was met at the door by Albert New
house and told that he could not be ad-
mitted because he was part niger"
Hall appeared again at the next meet
ing and was again refused.
Then the ostracism that was declar-
ed against him was extended to the
rest Of the Hall family. colony Of one
hundred. and they we're all barred
from the white schools.
Prior to this time the Halls had at

had moved in white society without |
question. AS such neighborhood rows

and led to the damage suit which is
now on trial here. More than one hun

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-03-08

In the current number of the indie
pendent an account OF this country's
selhshness and folly in the treatment
of Hawaii is set forth in a short and
vigorous statement by a resident OF
the archipelago. Unlike most Of the
complaints of our insular rule, this
does not come from a brown-skinned
Asiatic, or Latin-American revolution
list, but from DR.. Doremus Scudder, an
American well known in this section
as a graduate of Yale College and OF
the Union Theological Seminary, and
for a time pastor Of the Congrega-
tional Church of Woburn. He is now
serving in a similar capacity the old
Central Union Church of Honolulu.
Freedom of travel between the Ha-
waiian Islands and our Pacific coast,
Dr.. Scudder says, is unknown. Elk
pecting to come to the United States
in June of 1910, he made application
for accommodations In May of 1909.
During a large part of the year no
good steamship accommodations can
