on charges of highway robbery, were
dismissed this morning in police court,

LOYAL EX-SLAVES
ASK STATES AID
Twenty-eight Aged Negroes, in
Petition, Say They Cast Their
Fortunes With South in War.

One of the most pathetic petitions
ever presented 10 a Georgia State
official was handed to the State Com
missioner of Pensions by a delegation
Of aged negroes Thursday afternoon.
It is a prayer for aid from % men,
who though they knew their hopes
for freedom lay with the North. fol-
lowed their Southern masters into the
battlefield. The petition says:
Many times we could have escaped
and gone over to the enemies of our
masters, and our friends to freedom.
but We would not, for we felt that our
masters had placed in US a confidence
or they would not have carried us
along with them as bodyguards We
could not betray their confidence.
Therefore we stayed with them until
the great war was over, when we
were discharged without one cent to
make our way through the world. We
now are old and helpless and our last
resort is TO the Confederate States Of
America for small pension or dona-
ton for us old, broken down, worn
out ex-slaves"
The laws of Georgia make no pro-
vision for the ex-slaves who followed
their masters through the war. 1t
Is probable that efforts will be made
to get some kind of a relief bill
through the Legislature at the coming
session.

Dear Miss Grey: I read all
letters to you and your smart
advice to them, with great
Measure. And I think 1t Is
best for innocent men, wom-
en- and children. before they
get in trouble, to have some
good adviser. as you are.
Now, Miss Grey, / am a
foreigner. / am only a few
years here. / have high
school education. I am 81,
sober, don't drink or smoke.
Here In America l am hon.
est working man. I have
never been to school in
America as I was busy all
the time, to take care Of
myself and to support my
mother and sister in old
country. Now, my sister is
teacher and they don't need
my help. I have been work.
ing hard In mines, mills and
farms, my will was great to
see my sister teacher, and
now she Is at present.
Now, when / feel free, I
am beginning to realize that
I can't live without love In
present time, because 1t casts
me in melancholy and sor-
row. There Is no man or
woman in the world who
can live without love. MAN
is born only for love, and he
exists only with love-" Hiene.
1 am alone in this great
country. No mother, no
sister, no sweetheart. I am
hungry for love. Evenings
and Sundays / spend in the
theaters and parks, alone. I
love art, poetry, and music,
everything that is beautiful;
but l can't enjoy them at
present. All the world is
dark to me.
Now, Miss Grey, give me
your advice. How shall l be
happy? Shall l go to school
and study with my few hun
bred dollars, or fall in love
with some good and pretty
American girl and get mar
ried, and make America my
second home. 1t Is impos-
sible to go back and live
with my people.
A MAN OF SORROW.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-09-12

-
I will tell you the truth for all
that. There are many foreigners
in this country, the ways are new
to them, and they, like you, are
not yet accustomed enough to
America to feel at home, but SO
weaned from their native soil
they cannot go back.
You r lonesome, and II you
knew q single passable girl, you
would imagine yourself In love.
Love is too great q thing to be
entertained only for selfish rea-
sons. Love is the greatest thing,
not only in the world, but the
universe. You were happy in
caring for your mother, and maxi
Ing possible your sisters ambi-
tiOn. That was unselfish love.
Now the incentive TO work is
gone, and you are lonesome for
someone to help. LOod around
you each day. You will find
plenty of people who need you,
but don't fall in love. Love should
uplift.
Il would advise you to take up
some study, and perfect yourself
In 1t. Select something that Is
practical, and by which you can
help yourself financially. Mark
my word, no girl wants to marry
q melancholy man. Cure yourself
of those blues, and the right girl
will discover what q cheerful fell
low you are, and will want you.
