One question was debated so years
ago, and that was the question as to
our ability to support ourselves from
a physical and personal point Of view.
There were not a few who so years
ago predicted that this newly freed
race would become a perpetual bur.
den upon the pocketbooks Of the ma.
ton. 1t was freely predicted that we
would neither feed, clothe nor shelter
ourselves. Every year the American
congress is asked to appropriate be-
tween $1O,000,000 and $12 100000 to be
used largely in providing food. clothes,
and shelter for about 100000 Ameri-
can Indians. While this Is true of the
American Indian (and have nothing
but the highest respect for the In
dians) ever since the days of Recon
struction the American negro has not
called upon congress to appropriate
a single dollar to be used in providing
either clothes, shelter or food for our
race. Absolutely in all these. person
al matters we have supported our
selves and mean to do so in all the
future, and very seldom in any part of
the country does one find black hand
reached from corner Of street ask
ing for any mans personal charity.
Within so years, then, we have proven
that we can survive from physical
point of view, and we have proven that
we could not only support ourselves
but contribute taxes from $700,000,0O0
worth of property toward the support
of local, state, and national govern
ment.-Booker T. Washington.

One Of the keenest observers of the
proceedings in congress is Eugene
Patten. the only negro who ever
served as a page In the house or sen.
ate. Sixty years have whitened his
hair, but his step Is sprightly and his
mind alert, while from mere force Of
habit the trend Of legislation on the
hill and the personnel OF the two
branches which shape the laws are the
center Of his interest.
Patten Is still an employee OF the
government, but in the humble ca
pacity Of gathering rubbish from the
parks instead Of responding to the
handicap Of lawmakers in the lower
house. He has a memory like q pho
nograph, wide In Its range and aston
ishingly accurate. The good old days,

cites the characteristics of eminent
men, an absorbing panorama Of politi-
cal history unfolds before you.
Patten was born in Huntsville, Ala.
and when he drifted to Washington as
a lad he was one Of the few Democrats
of his race. He was no ordinary lad,
and his political views were a matter
of real conviction. The pronptness
and intelligence with which he dis
charged minor errands brought him
to the attention Of influential members
of congress, who resolved to secure
him an appointment. Never before in
the history of congress had any but
white boys been appointed pages, but
the men behind young Patten decided
to break all presidents. Such celebri.
ties as John Randolph Tucker, Eppa
Hunton, Tom Ewing and Alexander H
Stephens exerted themselves in his
behalf, and in due course he was ap-
pointed a page.

MRS. GRACE'S MAID
FOUND MURDERED
WAS WITNESS AT THE FAMOUS
TRIAL OF HER MISTRESS
LAST FALL.

Atlanta, Aug 26-Martha Ruffin
at one time a maid in the employ OF
Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace and witness
in the famous trial of Mrs. Grace fo1
the attempted murder of her husband
was found dead Sunday morning in
the rear of SO Ponce de Leon ave,
nue., this city.
The woman had been living for the
past month in an alley just off Ponce
de Leon avenue, having separated
from her husband, j. c. Ruffin. who
was also states witnes in the
Grace trial and a former butler in
the Grace home.
She had evidently been killed in her
home and then dragged through a
large pea patch for distance of 80
feet as the trail of blood was dis
covered leading from the house to
the clump of bushes in which the
body was found
Her death was due to single
knife wound in the throat which sew
cred the jugler vein. The crime is
mystery to the police, who can
assign no motive for the murder of
the negress unless it can be shown
that Alex Smith, negro lately init
mate with her, killed her in jeal-
Gus rage.
The murder was committed in the
regular Jack the Ripper" style and
is the eighteenth crime Of the same
nature perpetrated in Atlanta within
the past three years. The police are
searching for Alex Smith, a negro
who they believe may be able to tell
something about the crime.

Charlton arrived here today ON board
Re d Italia to stand trial for the
murder of his wife.
Fears that he might attempt sui

face the Italian courts, were entirely
lngrounded according to the carabi

The voyage had evidently benefited
Charlton very much. He appeared
in much better physical trim even
than when taken from New Jersey
He declined positively to discuss the
case saying that it was matter sole
ly for his attorneys.
AS yet practically nothing has been
done by the Italian government to-
wards the trying of the case. The
Department of Justice preferred that
Charlton should be actually in its

whether he shall be kept at Rome or

In general it is not expected that
Charlton will be convicted although

to the profound influence which LON

BY F. C. GILREATH.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug, 26-Almost be
fore the dread verdict of guilty" had
ceased ringing in his ears, Leo NJ
Frank, convicted of Staying Mary
Phagan, heard today the still more
terrible words, Il sentence you to
hang by the neck until you are
dead; God have mercy upon your
words, Il am innocent" had died
away.
Frank will pay the penalty on Oc-
tober 10, unless efforts of his two law
yers, who have already started a
new fight for his life, are successful
in postponing the execution or ulti-
mately clearing their client
There is liitle doubt but that the
execution will be put off as an ap-
peal acts as stay.
Sentence had hardly been pronounc-
ed by Judge Roam at 10:40 O'Clock
this morning, ia his court room in
the Thrower building, before Attor-
ney Reuben Arnold was on his feet
to make motion for a new trial
Judge Roam said he would set Oc-
tober 4, as the date for hearing argu-
that Solicitor Dorsey is vigorously op.
posed to any movement looking to-
ward the reopening of the case, as
he asserted repeatedly during the
last days of the trial that the claim
of the defense that Frank was not
receiving a fair trial was ridiculus on
its face.
While the death penalty was being
imposed upon the factory superinten
dent, his young wife sat outside the
Thrower building in an automobile
She had followed her husband in the
car waiting for him as he was taken
into court between two deputies and
again following him when he was con
veyed back to the tower.
Mrs. Frank remained with her hus
band throughout the remainder of the
day in his cell at the Jail. They re
ceived none of the many visitors who
called during the afternoon.
Frank displayed no more emotion
during sentence than he did during
the progress of the long trial He
was perhaps a trifie paler than usua
and his face a bit more haggard, but
from this, none would have known
as he stepped firmly down from the
Thrower building steps that he was
a man on whom the death sentence
had just been pronounced.
