LONDON, March 19.-That Greece
may yet decide to cast its lot with the
Allies was indicated in an official state-
ment received here today. 1t denies
there has been any disagreement over
neutrality in the Greek cabinet. "The

Crisis Near in Italy
ROME, March 19.-Ijcly is prepar-
ing to denounce its triple alliance with
Austria and Germany, according to re-
ports from various sources today. For

Adriatic or facing Italy's participation

Russia VIII RetaIiate
PETROGRAD, March 19.-Warfare
of the bitterest character is impending
along the 100-mile frontier in Prus
sia and Poland where the armies Of
the Czar and kaiser are about to Crap
pie. The German announcement that
itAproposes to burn Russian estates and
villages and leave trail of devesta-
ton has reused the bitterest indigna-
ton in Petrograd. AS a result a cam
paign of savagery unparalleled in re-
cent history is feared by many. If |
the Berlin threat is carried out it is |
certain the Slav's will adopt tactics
as drastic. Fire and sword will be
carried to Germany with greater de-
than ever and the entire
land will be laid waste.

TIE NEGRO and SOUTHERN FARM LIFE
BY w. 7. CHRISTOPHER.

idea. But they often sell to the
negroes at enormously high prices,
hoping the negro will fall down
after he has about paid for the
place and take it away from him,
but Mr.. Niger often fools them on
this scheme and pays out.
We do have in this county, how
ever some illustrations Of what
thrifty all-white communities will
do for a state where substituted for
big plantations and their negro la
Dor. Many North Georgians and
Alabama farmers have moved in
here and taken possession Of sever
al big farms and cut them up into
small ones, and the negroes have
nearly all left the community, as
the white men, women and boys
do all their own work and have no
use for them. At one time this
was the blacklist part Of the county,
with only a few white overseers and
as many as one hundred negroes
on plantation. Now these small
white farmers use sulky plows and
horse power and less manual labor,
For years there had not been a
white school in the community,
but several schools for negroes.
Now things are different-simply a
reversal of former conditions. At
Fields, q station on the A. B. 4
A. railroad, the people have built
a nice schoolhouse and have one
Of the best schools in the county.
This is one instance where white
laber has completely routed the ne
groes. Instead Of Dixie plows you
see two-horse and even six-horse
plows going deep into the soil,
sulky plows displacing the single
stock, mule and negro, and there
is an air Of thrift, progress, and
contentment among the people.
They raise blooded cattle, hogs and
other stock. Under the negro reg
ime nothing was raised but cotton,
and slipshod methods could be
seen on every hand. Not a pig,
chicken, garden or anything Of
that kind was in evidence, the me-
groes depending entirely on the
supply store in town for something
to eat. Now all is changed.
Georgia needs two hundred
thousand more working white far
mers in the state, and there will
never be any permanent prosper
ity in the south until white men
take possession Of the farms, dis
placing the negro tenant. +"

surely the late Henry w. Grady
spoke as one inspired when, in 1889
at the University OF Virginia, he
uttered these prophetic words; true
then-and truer now:
We are standing in the daybreak
of the second century of this Re-
public. The fixed stars are fading
from the skies, and we grope in un-
certain light. Strange shapes have
come with the night. Established
ways are lost-new roads pcrplex,
and widening fields stretch beyond
the sight. The unrest of dawn i'm
polls US to and fro-but Doubt
stalks amid confusion, and even on
the beaten paths the shifting crowds
are halted, and from the shadows
the sentries cry, 'Whocomes there2'
In the obscurity of the morning
tremondeous forces are at work.
Nothing is steadfast or approved.
The miracles Of the present believe
the simple truth of the past. The
Church is besieged from without and
betrayed from within. Government
is the contention of the partisans
and the prey Of the spoilsmen.
Trade is restless in the grasp of
monopoly, and commerce is shack
led with limitations. The cities are
swollen and the fields are stripped.
Splsndor streams from The castle,
and squalor crouches in the home.
The universal brotherhood is dis
diving and the people are huddling
into classes. The hiss of the Nihi-
list disturbs the covert, and the
roar of the mob murmers along the
highway. 4: Amid it all beats
the great American heart undis-
mayed, and standing fast by the
challenge Of his conscience. the
Citizen of the Republic, tranquil
and resolute, notes the drifting OF
the spectral currents, and calmly
awaits the full disclosures of the
day."
A wonderfully strong and mar
velously true picture of things a.
they were then and they are now,

ther, as he pictures the dangers that
menaced the Republic tlten, as lie
saw them:
THE unmistakable danger that
threate free government in Anne
riea is the increasing tendency tc
concentrate in the Federal govern
ment powers and privileges that
should be left with the States, and
to create powers that neither the
State nor the Federal government
should have. : 1t is not stran-
ge that there should be tendency
toward Capitalization in our gov
eminent. The splendor Of a cen
trail government dazzles the I'M
thinking; its opulence telnpts the
poor and the avaricious; its streng-
tn assures the rich and the amid !;
its patronage incites the spoilsmen
ard its powers inaame the partisan.
And so we have paternalism run
mad. The merchant asks the GO
vernment to control the arteries of
trade, the manufacturer asks that
his product be protected, the rich
ask for an army, and the unfortuna-
tie for help-this man for schools
