We have the good fortune to have what
appears to be a fine addition to our COM
| munity in the parsonage of a large mus
cular New York farmer named Short.
He has purchased the Duncle Farm on
the Milton road, and Judging from the
way in which he has started out, it ap-
pears as though he is master of the sit
/ uauon. He has the good sense to pay
spot cash for his home and has a reserve
fund to see him through until a crop is
made. This is wise and so different from
the general run of new comers who are
burdened with heavy debt which event
ually brings them disaster. We have
great hopes of success for our new neigh
Dor and extend to him the hand of fel-
lowship and wish him great success. We
sincerely hope that he will become a
reader and subscriber to the Chronicle.

DRIVES NAIL INTO HIS BRAIN
Prisoner in PottsviIIe Jail Adopts This
Means to Escape GaIIows, but
Still Lives.

Pottsville, Pal have driven two
nails into my brain and you cannot
hang me-" declared Malina Massa to
the warden of the Schuylkill county
prison. Massa, who murdered his
wife at Raven Run several months
ago, is under sentence of death, and
as he has made several attempts at
suicide his statement alarmed the
keeper.
Investigation showed that Massa's
statement was true. He had driven
the nails so firmly into his head that
it was necessary to shave the hair
off and lance the flesh in order to pull
them out Massa said he drove the
nails by butting his head against the
cell wall. The surgeons are puzzled
that Massa is still alive. 1t Is thought,
however, that infection will surely
bring death to the determined pris-
oner

LOVE COMEDY NEARLY TRAGIC
Noted Actress Could Not Marry a Man
Who Only Had One
Leg.

Madrid.-A love comedy that is on
its way to become tragedy is exclt-
ing the best families in Madrid 1t
relates to Gomez Lopez del Mavarette,
a well-known diplomat of barcelona,
who fell in love with the actress Do
lorez Rivero de Domanones. She is
the daughter of an aristocratic Span
ish family whose name she brought
into great notoriety by taking to the
stage.
A famous young surgeon, DIR. Do
RADIO del Pozo, was also a sutton for
Dolorez, and her affections wavered
so uncertainty as to cause duel be-
tween the young men, in which the
diplomat was wounded in the leg
Immediately Dolorez was at his
side and nursed him devotedly Sew
eral doctors were consulted, but the
leg became worse. At last Dolorez
persuaded her lover to consult his RI
val, the brilliant young surgeon. He
did so and DR.. Dorado del PoZo said
that amputation would alone save his
life, as gangrene had set in.
More persuasion by the actress, who
assured him that her affections were
now fixed, was needed before the
young diplomat would consent to the
operation. The operation was eventu-
ally performed and Senior Mavarette
provided with an artificial leg.
In spite of her previous protesta-

.BLALOCK GUSTS
NEGROESFRON
j. 8. SERVICE
Collector Scores Republican
Predecessors in FeedraI Build
ing for Retaining IncOm-
petents.

Declaring the sun is setting on the
day when the negro can usurp the
position of n white man in the Gov
eminent service in the South" Colo
mel A. 0. Blalock. Collector OF In
ternal Revenue, who several months
ago successeded Henry S. jackson,
Tuesday morning denounced the po-
litical tactics of the Republicans and
the actions of former Republican Of
fee holders, who. he alleges, have
Disseminated in favor of negroes.
Colonel Blalock commended Post
master Boiling H. Jones for discharg-
ing about IS negroes. He declared
that more than $4,000 per year was
paid to negroes in Atlanta under the
Republican administration, while
many competent white men We're
forced to accept work suitable for the
negro only. At the same time. he
asserted the white men mentioned
were in need of employment.
Negroes to Fight Charge.
AT present there are sixteen negro
ianitors, each receiving $50 per
month, three negro elevator runners,
each receiving $55 per month, and
three negro watchmen, receiving $50
each-employed in the Federal Build
ing" said Colonel BlaloCk.
These men are not qualified. They
are unreliable and thoroughly incom-
petent. / have displaced two negro
elevator runners and put on white
boys who have widowed mothers to
support.
Charges have been preferred
against the negro night and day
watchmen and forwarded to Wash
lngton. The negroes in question are
political negroes and carried a large
negro vote for Henry S. jackson at
the last national election.
Il understand that these two ne
groes have the audacity to fight the
charges and have hired lawyers to
represent them.
Says All Are Incompetent.
There are no Government positions
for negroes in the South, a negro's
place is in the cornfield. I do not
mean that negro should not be edu-
Gated and have his rights. but when
there are many deserving white men
capable Of holding the positions 1t is
altogether out of the question, and l
am going to see justice done.
THE postoffice inspectors will tell
you, as will every other man who has
had experience with negroes in Gov
eminent positions, that none OF them
are competent and all are unreliable.
I'VE do not have to trump up any
charges to have a negro removed, for
each day he breaks the rules and
commits many errors"
