ments are declared perfect by experts ;
therefore participants will enjoy eyerv
opportunity to display their talent.

souTH's PREJUDICE SHOWN
BOSTON TRAVELLER. ]

Georgia's growing mob spirit IS
becoming inconvenient as well as
serious menace 10 her own citizens.
Her people are beginning 10 CITY ioi
somebody to save them from them
selves. Recently in passing through
FORSYTH county, which adjoins the
notorious Cobb county, IN winch
Frank was lynched. a party OF
Seeing Georgia " tourists IN ioul
automobiles, one of which was hlleo
with members of the Macon ooa'o
of trade. and all driven by Negro
chauffeurs, was stoned by chiVai'
rous, hospitable white citizens. q
ldrawn revolver stopped them IN INT
| mad purpose OF taking the Negroe
from the cars.
FORSYTH is one of the Blue Ridg
counties which forDidS NeBioeo
, set foot on its soil, or even to pas
through in automobiles. Ostensibl
this is done because Negro CON
mitled a crime in that section year
! ago, but the real character OF Il
e prejudice is the same as that whie

n after Negroes were given freedom

only of Negroes. but Of whites

scribed section Of the State wi

THE WAVE OF REFORM

This wave of reform that seems
to be sweeping the county and has
for its purpose the cleaning and
clearing out of everything that is
not socially decent and pleasing to
the eye sometimes amuses US, and
at other times makes one sick. We
pick up the daily papers, aud read
where members of The other race
have called mass meeting to pro-
test against liquor selling, Barbary
Coast, gambling, or some other
against these things, and women S
clubs take them up and discuss
them at afternoon teas. That is
all right, but we as race of people
are great imitators in a way. We
have our womens clubs, and their
purpose is to do good, but they
sometimes 60 to extremes. We had
occasion TO talk with one of the
intelligent women of our race not
long ago. She is a strong pro-
hibitionist, very much against the
saloons and liquor selling, aud if
she had her way would wipe every
ope of them out of existence. Why,
there would not be whiskey enough
in West Oakland to fill doctor S
prescription two hours after she got
started ; but on the Chinese lottery
question she was mum. Which
takes the most money 7? Saloons
are necessary evil, and no one
cutters only of his own free will,
and they are like any other business
if properly conducted.
| Fisher & Lett of the Stag, Alex
Turner Of the Turf, and even
Uncle Sans wine cellar are all
conducted in legitimate way, and
even the Keystone, so far as we
know. Que can meet friends there,
enjoy a game of whist, billiards, OF
pool. Bnt, Oh ! no: they would
| clear them out. Now, that is the
part that amuses US. But these
same people with this reform bee
in their bonnets seem to overlook
the Eagle cafe aud other places not
over a stones throw from the above
mentioned places. This is the part
that makes one sick. 1t is shame
to us as race to see the jitney bus
that plies up and down Seventh
street from 8 until about II unload
the human cargo, and from II until
1890 reload and cast them off again
Ives, reload is the proper word
for sometimes the women and girls
are SO helpless that they have to be
loaded in. We talk about mission
aries to Africa. but there seems to
be lots of work next door for the
women's clubs, mothers clubs, etc.
Just notice the rear entrance of the
Eagle cafe on Seventh street if you
would be surprised. We hope to
hear some of our ministers from
The platform take for their subject
Stumbling blocks of our race and
how to overcome them.

suit was one OF the most notable ones
over land that has been adjudlcated IN
Iowa in recent years.
The application for the examination
Of the administrator was made prob
ably because In his annual reports for
1913 and 1914. he had not shown any
disbursements of estate funds, altho
he showed small items of money he had
paid as taxes for the estate.
Fort testified that he and his wife
were allowed $1,000 for caring for Will
liam j. Fort This allowance was made
by the court. ]. j. Wilson was ap-
pointed special administrator to pass
on the claim. which he recommended
and Judge Nichols allowed it and or
dered it paid on the special administra-
tors recommendation.
After the lawyers had taken their
fee of $4,000 Fort testified that there
was about s1.700 RENTED to him. it
being a balance of rents. etc. that had
accumulated in the Clarion bank that
was acting in the capacity of trustee
to receive money for the estate during
the litigation. Since then. he said, he
had received about $500 from the
bank. 1t also was rent money. This
sum Fort has not disbursed, he said.
because its ownership was in dispute.
He testified it was claimed by heirs to
whom w. j. Fort had decided the land
from which the rents came. the deeds
to become effective at his death.
The administrator will make an an
nual report in a day or two. and it was
indicated that objections would perhaps
be made to it on behalf of heirs.

Dog Gu1ps Diamond
and Rises IL, Value

william A. Thompson, of this city.
claims that one dog Of his acquaintance
has the most expensive taste on record.
This particular dog, now dead, was
playing with Mr. Thompson recently
at Iowa Falls, and Mr.. Thompson was
endeavoring to drive the dog away. De-
termined not to be driven away, the
animal grabbed Mr.. Thompson's hand
"a moment and then let go, During the
brief time that he had hold Of the hand
he pulled off and swallowed a 5000
diamond ring which Thompson was
wearing on his finger. Mr.. Thompson
noticed his loss shortly afterward.
H. r. Rogers, a colored-inah, owned
the dog. and he at once realized the
remarkable change in the value of his
dog, SO when Mr.. Thompson wanted to
buy the animal, the price asked was
$40. To all appearances the cur was
no more than a Decent pup, but he had
a diamond ring in his interior. so the
owner might decide any moment that
he would rather have the dog with the
diamond inside than SO in ready
money. Mr.. Thompson hastily paid the
required amount, brought the dog
home, and put an end to both the ami
NAL and the story by killing him and
eXtricating his diamond from the ca
mines anatomy.
