WHO FURNISHES MONEY?

WHO, I would like to know, is suffi-
GENTLY interested in preventing local
taxation to put up the money that IS
necessary in order to send circulars, let
ters,, ETC., to the multiplied thousands
who are now being reached? The cost
of such campaign must be enormous.
Some interest must be tremendously anX-
ious to dodge it's share of the burden OF
educating the boys and girls of Alabama.
What interests is it? Who is willing to
pay so great price to avoid the pos
sibility of having to pay some additional
tax for the education of the boys and
girls in this state?
These are pertinent questions, and l
wish could answer them, definitely and
positively. But thus far it has been I'M
possible to trace this movement to its
source.
However l do not believe that any
selfish opposition to this amendment can
accomplish it's defeat The arguments
being advanced in this campaign of greed
against childhood are as deceptive as is
the pretense that the campaign is being
conducted from Oneonta."

Judge KeltOn, Who Is Conducting

Says He Will Speak Here To-
morrow Afternoon

That certain interests. willing to
feat the educational amendment, are
working throughout the state in a
strenuous campaign toward this end.
is the charge made by Commissioners
j. II. Hornady.
While admitting that it has been
impossible to trace the source from
which the campaign is being conduct
ed, Mr.. HOrnady states that its head
quarters nre in Birmingham. nOtwith-
standing the fact that efforts are be-
ing made to make ii appear that the
county.
He says, however, that in spite of the
active campaign which has been con-
Quoted through the mails and other
wise, he believes the amendment will
carry with fine majority.
ONEONTA A BLIND
Alabama is being flooded with litera-
ture circular letters, etc, all of which
appears to come from Oneonta. but we
have positive proof that this material is
going out of Birmingham" said Mr. Hor-
nady. II have in my possession one of
the letters which bears upon the en-
velope four lines reading: After five
days return to John f. Kelton, probate
judge, Oneonta Ala, and the letter IN
side is dated Oneonta, as if being sent
out from there But as a matter of
fact, it was mailed in Birmingham, and
the cancellation stamp of the United
States government shows this very
plainly. Thus it is revealed that Biz
ningham is the center from which this
campaign is being waged, and that is is
upon it's face an effort to delude the
voters of Alabama.
Not only is the literature being sent
out from Birmingham, bearing the
Oneonta date line, but wholesome. guam
titles of plate matter have been sent out
from here to the weekly papers OF the
state. Large sums are being spent IN
getting out this material and it is APP
parent to the most casual observer that
a great amount of money is being spent
in the effort to defeat the educational
amendment, and thus to keep the children
of the state from reapng the BENEFITS
that would result from local taxation for
school purposes.

MORE PROTECTION
FOR GEORGIA DOVE
Is Asked For BY Game Commissioner
Arrow in Statement Issued at
Close of the Open Season.

ADVANTAGEOUS S. Arrow,
state game and fish commissioner,
has issued the following statement in
connectic1 with the close of the hunt
ing season, which came to an end
last Tuesday night:
From information received, COM
bined with my own observation, L
would say that there are more deer
and wild turkeys in Georgia today
than for a number of years, while
regret to state that | do not believe
this is true of doves or quail.
THE latter is due to several causes,
one, as applied to quail, being unfa-
vorable weather conditions during
their breeding season last year, and
another being the fact that improved
roads ana automobiles combined
have increased the range of sports
men.
The greatly increased acreage be-
ing devoted by the farmers of GeOr-
gia to the production of food and
grain crops, thus greatly increasing
the food supply of birds, has sounded
the death knell of the dove unless
the days kill allowed by law is re-
duced from forty to fifteen or twenty,
or unless the dove season is short
ened.
while we have laws generally en-
forced against the batting of fields,
and this sport is seldom INDUCED in,
what are we to do with the thousands
of acres of naturally baited fields,
where sweet potatoes, chufas, pea
nuts, peas, etc, leave an abundance
of food for doves and lure them by
the hundreds?
The legislature, sportsmen, farm
ers and game wardens must combine
without delay, or the doves will soon
be extinct"

MAY BE AN IMPORTANT
KEY TO ANCIENT MEXICO
Stone Statuette From Vera Cruz May
Lead to Clearing Up History.

Lead to Clearing Up History.
The identification of a small stone
statuette from Vera Cruz, Mex,
which has been in the possession of
the United States National Museum
since 1902, as the Oldest known dated
antique in America, may lead to a
means of clearing up the history of
ancient Mexico, as the Rosetta stone
furnished the key to deciphering the
hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt.
The statuette itself may enable
scholars to read Inscriptions on the
ancient ruins found in Peru and Mex
leo, which will guide in search for
more complete information of the
race inhabiting the American CONT
nent centuries ago. America has been
placed in the position of Europe and
Asia during the centuries when no
information was obtainable of the
mystery of the pyramids and other
work of the ancients.
The practically entire absence of
knowledge of the great ruins in Mex
leo has left the impression that they
were built by half-civilized tribes
who had nothing of importance to re-
cord and whose only claim to any
recognition lay in the ruins them
selves as being the best evidence of
ability. But the imagination can
picture a race of people well advanc
ed in the scale of civilization.
Difference in climate has much to
do in the preservation of the work
of man. The climate of Northern
Africa is of such kind that the ele-
ments have little destroying intlu-
ence, The dry atmosphere has pre-
served inscriptions on monuments in
Egypt which would have become to-
tally obliterated in the climate of
Mexico, Central America and South
America. In fact, when Cleopatra S
needle was brought to New York it
was found necessary to coat it imme-
diately with a material imperviOus
to the action of the wind, rain and
snow.
In tropical America dense forests
could cover the site of a populous
city in a few years. In the course
of hundreds of thousands of centu-
ries the deposit of leaves and decayed
vegetation could change even the
contour of the surface. Heavy rains
would wash down hills and fill up
gullies. In this way many traces of
a high state of civilization would dis
amman ond on urinU forms Of ctr11ct-
uTe would be effaced. There may yet
remain to be found on the American
continent proof of races which sur
pass any that have occupied history
study in the Old World.

NEGROES TOESTABLISH
Big COLONY IN KANSAS
COMMITTEE Is DICKERING WITH
R4ILROAD COMPANY FOR PUR-
CHASE OF 10000 ACRES.
BLACKS ONLY TO HOLD OFFICE
Eight Hundred Have Already Prom
ised TO Live in the New Liberia.
Deeds VIII Require That Settlers
Can't Sell Lands to Whites.


TOPEKA, Kan.-Negroes from
all over the United States soon will
establish colony, exclusively for ne
groes, in western Kansas.
A committee is now dealing with
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee
railroad for the purchase of 10000
acres of land, with an option on an
other equal area, on which to estab-
fish the proposed colony.
NJ. B. Brooks, editor of the Hutch
inson Blade, a negro paper; Thomas
Owens and n. H. Jelitz of Hutchinson
and T. w. Gangway of Pratt are the
organizers of the plan for the colony.
They have had assurances of 500 ne
groes in all parts of the country to
move to the new colony if the deal
for the western Kansas land can be
made.
Negroes now living in New York,
Philadelphia. Chicago St. Louis, Gin
cinnati. Washington and several
Southern cities have joined the Peo-
Pies Civil League, the name of the
organization.
How Colony VIII be Run.
1t is not proposed to manage the
colony on any socialistic or coop
erative plan. The committee sim
ply expects to purchase the land from
the railroad and hold it in trust for
the members of the organization I'M
til the final payments are made. The
railroad company owns many thous-
ands of acres of good land in the
western part of the state. 1t sells the
land only to actual settlers on the in
stallment plan. The land is offered
at a low price and may be paid for
in five, ten or twenty-year INSTALL
ments.
Only negroes who are now actual
farmers or those in cities who want
to get back to the land will be per-
mitted to take land in the colony.
The only exception is townsite of
100 acres on finch town is to be
established as a trading post for the
colony.
Only Negroes to Hold Office.
The deeds to the land will require
that the settlers can never sell their
land to other than negroes and the
same prohibition is to apply to the
lots on the townsite. 1t is not ex-
pected that any white man will ever
spend the night within the confines
of the colony. The charter for the
town is to provide that only negroes
can hold office. The school districts
within the colony are to be controlled
entirely by negroes. All church or
admitted are to be given
ten acres as a site and only one
church of each denomination is to be
within the colony
Kansas already has one negro col
ony. 1t was established nearly 80
years ago in Graham county. The |
Union Pacific railroad gave colony |
of negroes several thousand acres of |
land in the eastern edge of the coun- |
ty. The township and the town they |
was named Nicodemus.
Hamlet Close to Railroad.
1T is only a hamlet, several miles |
from the railroad. The negroes are |
all farmers but few who maintain |
stores and shops at Nicodemus. The |
negroes control the township and run |
things to suit themselves. Several |
officers have been elected |
from NicodemusN Nearly all the ne
groes own their own land, and many |
Of them have fine homes.
