IN THE BELGIAN CONGO.
Progressive Negroes OF Africa and
Primitive CannibaIS Live There.

The Belgian Congo, in Africa, IS
the home alike of the most progress
sive negroes of Africa and OF the
most primitive and savage cannt-
balls. according to statement issued
by the National Geographic society
at Washington. A bulletin of the SO
Getty says:
This African colony is so cut up
by rivers and impenetrable forests
that the tribes inhabiting the couu-
try vary greatly in their customs ana
language But d few miles distant
from these barbarcus saVages ar"
endless plantations of millet and
grain of their civilized countrymen.
The cannibal Bankutus OF the Bel
sian Congo make practice of re-
moving the upper inci99rs Their
dress consists of plated skirt,
which does not quite meet on the
right thigh; but the women in the
south wear hide Giidie with u
deep fringe or palm fiber string.
Among this tribe tae slaves are
compelled to wear a special dress,
which is, in fact, the ordinary cos
tune of the Akela, to which tribe
most Of them belong. Tie Bankutn
are great cannibal5. as far as the

slaves; in fact, all slaves are ulti-
mately eaten, since ii is believed
that if a slave We're buried his ghost
would kill his master. -.
Their chief weapon is the bow,

Shilds are now obsolete One OF
their most interesting points is thei:
use OF IA conventional throwing knife
as currency. The Bankutu are al
most the only tribe Of this region

BASE BALL RALLY
HELLO LAST NIGHT
FANS PLEDGE SUPPORT
TO HOME TEAM THROUGH
OUT THE SEASON.
Made to Threw Away the
Hammers and Buy Horns to
Cheer Team on to Victory.

Facts brought out in the mass
meeting of baseball fans, held at
the court house last night, show
that WaXahachie, the second largest
town in the Central Texas league
gives her ball team the poorest sup
port OF any town in the league, not
Withstanding the fact that her popu-
lation is more than double that OF
some OF the towns. Comparison of
the reports filed With League Secre-
tary Roy Connally show that Mexia
and kaufman fans have been more
loyal To their teams in point Of at
tendance than have the WaXahachie
fans. There was no disposition on
The part of the local fans to cover
up these facts. They We're met face
20 face in an earnest endeavor to
remedy the trouble Regret was ex-
pressed that such was the case, but
censure was withheld and resolve
made that there should be a facing
out. Home pride must and will come
to the relief of the club WaXa-
hachie cannot afford to drop out of
the league and the loyal fans will
see that she does not, but il is not
right for the few to bear the burden
of the cost.
The advertising gained through
having ball team in tae field is
we'll worth the price of maintaining
team TO say nothing about the
amusement furnished for the long
summer afternoons. The baseball
annual, which goes into every town
i'll the United States. not only gives
the per ceHtage OF each and every
player on the club but also carries
picture Of the pennant winners. In
addition TO this the club standing
and result OF games in the state pa
pers does much to bring Waxahachie
"a the attention OF the public
Baseball is given up to be the clean
est OF field sports and for that rea-
view OF these benefits We do not
hesitate TO ask the cooperation OF
tie entire citizenship in supporting
the bail team Lets give the team
the support other towns give their
teams and the support that will
make them win games.
The success Of the ball team de-
ponds solely upon the effort put
forth by the citizens. No wonder
WaXahachie cannot yin against the
0Gds Imagine other towns rallying
to the support OF their home team
in every conceivable way while the
WaXahachie team is pitted against
them alone and unaided. 1t is too
much to expect a winning team We
doubt not but that with the sup
port Ennis, Terrell Corsicana or
MeNia have given their teams Waxa-
hachie would now be at the top Of
the list. With these things before
US We would place the blame for de
rea, whore it belongs at the feet
Oh the people.

VOTE WILL BE TAKEN
Champions of Plans Awaiting AnXI-

Close Of Debate.

Richmond, Feb. 2.-Scvcral mem
bers Of the House have received let
tors from their constituents telling
that efforts are being made to or
ranize the small towns in the state
against segregation.
Resolutions against the admins
tration plan have been passed by inc
town OF Blackstone, the letters sala'
and other towns are being asked TO
endorse these resolutions on the
Ground that segregation will take
from the towns a large part OF their
necessary revenue.
Segregation leaders do not fear
that serious opposition on the part
Of towns in Virginia will develop,
since the advantages which so many
Of them will receive under the pro
posed plan will far outweigh their
losses.
These losses. it is shown, will he

TEMpEsTuOUS NIGHT.

the wind increased in velocity while
rain fell in torrents, and conditions
without were exceedingly tempes-

Railroad Officials Minimize Affair
Report That Germans Were About
to Invade Canada.

Vanceboro, Me-, Feb 2-The Cana.
dian Pacific bridge over the ST.
Croix river, near Vanceboro, was
dynamited early today.
The eastern pier of the structure
was partially blown away, the ex-
plosion breaking the windows in
houses within a radius of a mile.
The structure is one Of the most
important bridges on the Canadian
Pacific.
A report received from ST. Croix
N. B., says man, believed to be a
German officer has been arrested on
suspicion of being connected with the
dynamiting. This man, it is claimed,
is known to have purchased some ex-
Tplosives recently.
Reports of a German attempt to
invade Canada quickly arose after
the explosion under a pier on the
Canadian side of the river, and the
rumors grew as they circulated.
Montreal, Feb. 2-An explosion of
dynamite Slightly wrecked" the rail
road bridge over the ST. Croix river
at Vanceboro, Me-, at 2 o'clock this
morning according to an official an
nouncement from the Canadian Paci-
fc officers here.
The bridge is the joint property
of the Canadian Pacific railroad and
the Maine Ceattal. Only a slight de-
lay in train service was caused by
the explosion, the st. John train be-
ing only twenty minutes late. Pas
sengers trains are now running over
the structure.
One arrest has been made. A
stranger who has been seen in the
vicinity of St. Croix for several
davs recently was taken into GUS
tody.
A report here states that he &C.
c,ares himself to ,ba a German oftl-
Ger and he is said to have admitted
that he. dynamited the bridge. The
damage to the bridge, it is stated
At the Canadian Pacific Offices, con-

MONUMENT TO MAH0NE.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, edited
py Ex-Governor William f. Cameron,
formerly gallant Confederate col
onel, is interested in the movement
to erect a monument in Petersburg to
the memory of General William Ma
hone. The Virginian-Pilot says:
However, the political course of
General Malone may have, in later
wears, antagoniZed the prevailing
sentiments Of a majority of his COM
patriots, there can be no difference Of
opinion as to the brilliance Of his
soldierly record. The part he bore
in the operations around Petersburg
contributed largely to the prologna-
ton of the defense and the reports Of
General Lee covering that period
testify abundantly to the skill which
time and again thwarted the plans
of the enemy and wrung victory
from the very jaws Of disaster. Con-
spicuous among the exploits of the
valiant troops under .Mahone's leader
ship was the bloody triumph they won
at the Battle of the Crater over vast
ly superior forces-a triumph so sig
nal that there were voted the thanks
of the government to the officers and
men of the division, and President
Davis promptly conferred on Major
Malone promotion to the grade of
Major-General The engagement
was unique in the annals of the
war, but there were many other oc-
casions on the adjacent fields of con-
flict--at the battles of the Weldon
railroad, at Ream's Station and
Hatcher's Run-when Malone and
his men. merited equal praise.
The present owner of the Crater
farm has offered the donation Of Il
site on the famous battle-ground for
the shaft and it is most appropriate
that the memorial should be located
there, for the spot is redolent o
glorious deeds with which the names
of Malone and Weisiger, Saunders,
GherarGi, Stewart and scores Of val
orouS Virginians and AlabamanS arc
ndeliby linked.
Petersburg has not acted with the
promptitude it should have showr
in honoring the memory of Genera
Malone. The fact that years after
the death of General Malone II;
memory is not honored by monu
ment in his own city is proof OF oul
remlSsness. We believe that all Nlr
glnia. letting political bygones b'
y bygones would unite in helping for
