reply to questions by Col Judson:

NEW RECLAMATION MAY
BE TAKEN UP VERY SOON

Plans for another reclamation pro-
:ect in the vicinity of the Kewalo dis
trict are being laid by the Governor
and superintendent of public works.
Unlike the Kewalo project; IN which
tic Territory is required to assume the
Initiative, afterward collecting the
cost from the owners, many of whom
pay unwillingly, the new tract prob
ably will be filed in by the owners
themselves, combining to let the con-
tract providing the expense may be
held down to normal proportions,
The new project is larger than thr
he walo, containing 1866 acres Wal
kfki of Ward avenue and extending
nearly to Kalia, and expected to re-
qllre 2,100, GOO cubic yards of filling.
If the owners of this area consent to
The Improvement, the work may begin
IN the very near future as the terri
tory will not need to invest any OF its
revolving rund. If the government is
compelled to take the initiative the
wcrk would be delayed until the. pres
ert Kewalo reclamation job is ON
p;eted and its cost collected from
those owners, thus reimbursing the re-
yclring fund.

UNEXPECTED SNUB
AT THE POETS CLUB

IF it were not for poetry, where
would the poets be-" said one of the
members of the Reading and Discus
sion Club, a newly formed organiza.
ton at the Young Mems Christian
Association, during the course of a
spirited meeting held the other even
ing.
The subject of the evenings discus
sion was one of the little ditties writ
ten by Shakespeare, and the twenty
or more members who were present
were deeply engrossed in wedding out
the facts as to just what good poetry
means to humanity. They were doing
it, of course, merely as a sort of di-
version. Fiery speeches, both for
and against poems, and poetry, pre-
vailed throughout the evening, and
the silver-tongued orators waXed more
eloquent as they, became imbued
with the spirit of the discussion.
Sitting over in one corner of the
room there was small, unoffending
male of the species, who hadn't gotten
in a word during the whole evening;
he merely sat and listened, and seem
ed to let every word of the CONVERSE
ton sink in. Toward the end of the
meeting, after everybody had had
something to say except the indi-
vidual who held down the corner. The
president of the club saw him.

No one can read the census figures
which have recently been published
without being forced to the conclusion
that the negro race is not increasing
SO fast in numbers as is desirable, mol
is the increase so large as 1t was
some years ago. We make this state
ment disregarding the fact that we
know mistakes have beene made and
many negroes in the southern states
especially have not been counted.
Our own doctors are almost unini-
nous In the opinion that in the large
cities of the north the death rate OF
the negro race is much larger than is
true of the white race, and but for the
immigration from the south the negro
would soon cease to appear in large
numbers in northern cities.
The death rate in the large cities Of
the south is too large. All this indi-

SAYS He HAS ORIGINAL DEED
NEGRO WHO CLAIMS OWNERSHIP
OF WlLMlNGTONN WILL
FIGHT CASE.

Wilmington, n. C.-Special.-Fred
Mckenzie. colored, better know in
Wilmington as Fred Davis, has laid
claim to the realty upon which prac-
tically the entire business district Is
located and embraces also a portion
Of the residential section In the north
ern part of the city. Should he be
able prove his claims In a court OF
law and get the property or its equiva-
lent. which is not probable. he would
probably be the wealthiest negro in
the country.
Mckenzie has asked the aid of Gov
ernor Kitchen and other state officials
in his effort to recover the property
which he alleges was willed to his
ancestors back in the colonial days.
The property which he alleges be-
longs to him and his relatives begins
at a point on the Cape Fear river at
the foot Market street, runs north
up the river to a point some distance
north of the seaboard track. thence
south to Market street and west down
Market street $50 poles TO the point OF
beginning.
His story goes back to the colonial
days and according to his statement
the property, as far back as he has
been able to trace 1t. was first owned
by Mr.. Marsden Campbell of New
Hanover county. On the death of Mr..
Campbell 1t went to his heirs. James
G. Campbell, Marsden Campbell. Jr..
Hugh Y. Waddell and wife, John
n
bell. 1t was finally acquired by the
last named, William Campbell. who
later left this state for Louisiana. On
leaving the state Mr. Campbell de-
sired to leave his property to Moses
Davis, a slave, but as the laws OF
North Carolina prohibited a slave
from holding property, ne was forced
to leave it in the hands of a number
of trustees. these being Messrs. T. c.
Miller. Fred D. Lord, Thomas d.
Meares, William A. Wright, Joahua
Wright and the town Of Wilmington.
At that time the town of Wilmington
did not cover any of the property own
ed by Mr.. Campbell.
On the death of Moses Davis, Nc
Kenzie claims, the property went to
his daughter, Lucy Davis, who mar
ried a negro named Mckenzie. She
soon left Mckenzie. however. but not
until after she had borne him chill
dren. Her first child was Fred Nc
Kenzie or Fred Davis. He was the
father of second Fred Davis. who in
turn had a son named Fred Davis. or
Fred Mckenzie, the present claimant
to the land Mckenzie claims to have
the original deed of trust, in which
the land is left to the trustees to hold
for Mosses Davis. This, he says, Is In
Washington just at present. but he
says there is a certified copy in the
city. He also has several other legal
papers bearing on the matter. He is
now awaiting a letter from the gov
ernor and other state officials, whom
he expects will look into the matter
for him. He seems confident that the
land upon which a great part of the
city of Wilmington is located right
fully belongs to him.-Charlotte OBJ

''he question of increasing land
lotdism in Texas and the south gen
orally is causing reflection and com
mont in various quaters. Farm and
Ranch has been making some investi-
cations into the subject, and the find
ings are somewhat surprising. It's
representative in that work says:
l. Landlordism spreads in Texas by
three chief means; (a) Individual
farmers buying more lands adjacent
to their property; o creditors (town
merchants usually foreclosing mort
gcges on owners farms; (c) owners
moving their families into towns.
Y. In the last ten years the rate
of white tenant increase over black
tenant increase has been $50 per cent.
8. Negro tenants. renting as a rule
lands worth less than half as much as
lands rented by white tenants in 1900
produced per acre on improved land
$11.96 worth of crops, while white ten
ant farmers the same year produced
crous worth only $10.42 per acre.
4. The negro tenant Is following
the white owner to the town and city.
5. The white tenant, who is gain
ing he field, is not one whit better
off. economically, under present crop
ping uystems. than the negro. while
he Is much the financial inferior Of
the landlord.
Fam the foregoing 1t will be seen
that though given the poorest sort Of
land to work. the colored brother has
been getting the best results both for
himself and for the landlord. That
item about the increase of white ten
ants over negro tenants by $50 per
cent. is significant and shows that the
negro is round here scmewhere."-
