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 to a Georgia State
official was handed to the State Com
missioner Of Pensions by delegation
Of aged negroes Thursday afternoon.
II is a prayer for aid from 28 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 a 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. II
is probable that efforts will be made
to get some kind Of a relief bill
through the Legislature at the coming
session.

PR|VATEPROPERTY
IN MEXICO IS SAFE.
SAY LATE REPORTS

Washington, December 27-ACondi-
tions in regard to the safety of pri-
vate property in central Mexico CON
tinues to be satisfactory. according to
the latest state department reports Ow-
ing to the fact that the territory from
Durango northward is in the sole pos
session of neither warning faction and
that both telegraphs and railroads gen.
orally have been destroyed, communion
ton is so slow that it required seven
days to get news to the department
from the city of Torreon. A week ago
that important strategic point still was
in the hands of the federals, but the
revolutionists were In control of the
surrounding district.
On the gulf coast the rebels were ac-
tive up to Christmas and the consul at
Tampico reported that General Aguilar,
with several hundred rebel troops took
possession of the town of Panuco, De-
cember "a. They destroyed some build
ings and committed other depredations
and the consul is trying to ascertain
whether American life and property were
menaced.
The state department has caused rep
resentations to me made to General
Villa at Chihuahua in the interest of
the women and children of the Span
iards and other foreigners who were
expelled from that town by the rebels.
Although the American consul was as
sured that these families would be per-
mitted to leave Chihuahua, for some
reason the promise has not been kept,
and 1t Is assumed they are being held
as hostages. Further pressure will be
brought to bear in their behalf

probable needs.
An offer of Japanese army officers to
enlist under the Huerta standard in
Mexico, which the Mexican war office
claims to have received through its
embassy in Toxic, has not been made
known to the state department.
Whether this service could be rendered

SALE OF RED SEALS
FALLS FAR SHORT
Exepcted to Sell 100000
in Georgia Sold Only
100000

Atlanta. December 2T.-(Special.) The
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals in
Georgia this year has fallen considerably
short of expectations. and, although it
will not be definitely known just how
many of them were sold during the month
of December, while the campaign was on.
enough information is at hand to show
that the total will approximate only
about half the number it was hoped AMI
expected to sell.
When the Red Cross campaign opened.
the latter part of November. it was pro-
posed to sell 100000 of the seals i'm Geor-
gia The Atlanta committee agreed to
undertake the sale of 100000 of them in
Atlanta and its vicinity. while the state
committee figured 1t would sell as many
more in the rest of the state. This was
aiming pretty high, but the committee
determined to make the effort The indi-
cations are as far as reports have been
received. that about 100000 were sold in
and around Atlanta, and that Just abour
as many more were sold elsewhere in
the state. This will bring total fund
of $4,000. which when the 10 per cert
which must go to the National association
Is deducted, will leave somewhere be-
tween $500 and $1,000 for anti-tuberculosis
work in Georgia.
OF course the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculo-
| sis association will fare better than any
other organization. 1t will get approx
mately $2500 from the sale OF the seals
in Atlanta, while thousand dollars more
resulting from their sale by the school
children will go toward the establishment
of an open air school in Atlanta.
The Atlanta school children have never
been allowed to take up a campaign of
this kind before, but for the past two
years the board of education has per-
mitted them to do ii on the understand
ing that the money raised through their
efforts should be devoted to open air
schools. Last year a little more than
$1,000 was raised in this way, after which
the committee went before the council
and sought to get an additional appro-
priation to establish the first school Of
this kind here. The council could not find
| the money and the result is $1,000 raised
last year has lain idle in the bank ever
since. Another effort to establish a school
of this kind for children predisposed to
lung trouble will be made in the spring,
