spondent in Paris describes how the
Gurkhas native Indian troopsJ blew
up German ammunition park, thus
causing some of the German coast bat
teries to move to the rear. He says:
"All the efforts Of the allies artil-
lery against these batteries had been
unavailing and the Germans were
causing severe losses when the air
scouts located the ammunition stores
seven miles behind the German lines.
'At night the Gurkha detachment en-
parked on gunboats. which proceeded
to the mouth OF the User, and after
long, silent march the Gurkhas reach
ed the German ammunition stores,
guarded by six scntries. Six silent
figures moved toward them. each car
rying long knife. Then n sound, like
the croaking of frog, was heard, and
the six sentries disappeared.
Shortly afterward the general STAFF
of the allies saw n great flash OF light
on the horizon and heard n great ex.
plosion, followed by countless others,
as the shells and shrapnel in their
cases exploded I'm all directions. The
Gurkhas returned safely TO the gun

New York.-Many persons who pass
ed through Forty-second street near
Fifth avenue wondered why piano
was being pushed through the street
by four men who looked like hotel por-
ters. The reason was later disclosed.
Mile. d'Alnert, young French singer,
had needed "A piano in order to try
some new songs. but every piano in the
hotel was i'm use.
Her distress was so apparent that
some one sought the manager. The
latter called UP piano store. trusting
there might be somebody there he
knew. AS 1t happened there was. The
manager explained the circumstances.
1t was explained that it was unusual
to send pianos out at night.

the manager. "lll send enough porters

NAY Dear Mr. Watson: Please pardon me for
IVA ntruding on your valuable time and space
as l want to ask you some quest ons. 1t seems
from the tone of the newspapers that Gov. Slaton
is preparing to make the for the U. S. SEN
ate Now | want to ask if he has not been
partial failure Governor? Couldn't he have
done for the people Of Georgia in the railroad
freight rates just what Governor Conner has done
for the people of Alabama. If so, why has he
not done it? If he has made himself tool for
the corporations we don't need him for the Senate
rfor anything else
AS for Attorney-General Fielder, I think he is
in the same boat with Gov. Slaton on. the rail
road freight rates. We need two good men to fill
the places of Senator Bacon and that corporation
henchman Senator Hoke Smith.
Again, what is the object of the organization
OF the Chamber of Commerce the State?
Mr.. Watson, certainly admire your courage and
honesty of purpose. I with you to the end

to Booker Washington, after Booker had
been beaten up by Ulrich, the white carpen-
ter.
Won!d such word of sympathy have been
more of an affront to the whites than the
appointment of negro. to be Judge of the
City Court of Washington City?
Or the keeping in office Republican negro
of Atlanta, Lincoln johnson, who is Recorder
Of Deeds for the District of Columbia at
$4,000 ycar-an Office whose patrons are
mostly whites, and whose underlings are
largely white?
When white man appoints negro to try
white people in a City Court, and retains
another negro to act as the boss of white men
and women it seems to me has little to COM
plain Of about the alleged Booker Washing
ton telegram.
Harris says that his letter to me was all
a mistake. I think it was.
That statement is one of rne few things
that Harris could say that I aOouzd believe,
unless he were strongly corroborated.
But when a Census Taker, at 81 900 year.
makes a mistake Of writing personal letter
to "Thos. E. Watson, Editor of The Jeffer-
sonian, Thomson, Ga.,' the question arises
Isn't he liable to make some terrible mistakes
in taking the Census{
Is a man liable to such horrible mistakes,
worth $1,000 to the Government?
Suppose he puts all the whites in the Mig
ger column, and all the niggers in the white
column, how on earth are we to tell how
many Of us are white folks, and how many
OF us are nlggers!
In the mean time, allow me to suggest that
Harris proposal to have the State lend its
credit to municipal corporations, IS forbidden
by the Democratic Constitution Of 1877.
Also, that his sudden and acute affection
for the ". & A. Railroad is painfully at
variance with his course in the Senate, where
he voted to annihilate the value OF the Union
Depot by bridging Pryor Street and Central
Avenue.
Likewise, that his insinuatlon of con-
splracy between me and the Railroads is the
funniest things seen in print, since the day
that Senator Goliath Smith crossed Pennsvl-
vania Avenue, in Washington City, to offer
his friendship to Hamp McWhorter
Moreover we have got Harris and his hum
bug Boss beat to state of blue funk. riqht
20a0 and they both know it.
So, no more at present, from this neck of
the woods.

partnership is going to follow the fate which
almost outran William Jackass Burns
When Burns did start to running, he broke
all the speed laws between Atlanta and
Chicago.
Similarly, when the reputation and good
standing of the Rosser, Brandon, Slaton and
Phillips law -frm began to shrink, it fell
faster than busted balloon.
Such is life-especially in Atlanta

no good reason why we should not elect
Judge Rufus Hutchens who helped to make
the winning fight for the small country coun-
ties, when Slaton and Smith and the Howell
cherubs were all in the same plot to cheat
us out Of our constitutional rights
Hutchens is clean man, and he has stood
by us country ROSTERS and we rural roosters
must stand by him.
Life wouldn't be half SO gay, if those
Atlanta ringsters could rule us with bought
ward heelers and stuffed ballot Doxes, as the

trict, in the Ninetle's.

War-horse"-the grim Confederate soldier
who fought all the way from First Manassas
to ppomattox-did not win any votes by
has cruelty TO q q00no0n, although he thought
he did.
The Senator who ousted the white woman
and kept an Atlanta negro, a Republican at
that, in a $4,000 office in Washington, will
have to meet an indignant white constituency
that he has never met on that issue.
The Senator who declared that he would
kill negro appointments, and who then made
no determined effort to prevent a negro from
being made City Judge Of the National Capt.
tal-where the black man tries white people
and sentences them to prison terms, will have
to explain himself to the people whom he has
deceived.
It will add to his difficulties, when he has
to defend the action of his official organ. the
lannon's AN0ntn Journal, in virtually strip

arhich MAKES him believe he cam commit any
