after the payment OF wages and sala-
ries, and after interest, taxes, depre-
citation, etc, had been cared for, the
sum of $44,260,37446. This was the
surplus, or nest egg, which went to
capital for the rainy day. Labor got
no surplus for its rainy day, raising
American citizens not being consid-
cred a business.
Capital thus received, through in

General Organizer

1T is the desire OF the officers Of
the Federation that every local union
in the state affiliate at once. 1t is
your duty to do so Heretofore our
efforts have been scattered. Now we
have an opportunity to concentrate.
We need much legislation that hereto
bore we have been unable to secure
because of a lack of cohesiveness.
We are fortunate in now being able to
overcome this stubborn obstacle if we
but do our plain duty. The success
OF the Federation is what the individ-
tai members make it. The officers
are helpless without your assistance
and, we feel, we know, you will re-
spond.
We would suggest that the Con-
stitution and Proceedings be read in
open meeting or an intelligent re-
sumo be given by the Secretary.
Hoping for an early and favorable
response, we are,
Fraternally yours,

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-08-09

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 9.-Con-
corning the early history of America
about-to-be possessions, the Danish
West ndies, the National Geographic
Society issues the following bulletin
from Washington:
"Of the three small islands on the
northeastern edge of the Caribbean
Sea, for which the United States ex-
poets to pay Denmark $25,00O,000, st.
Thomas and ST. 10, both smaller and
less densely populated than St. Croix,
have been the scene of many thrilling
episodes. Here white colonists of
four nations followed each other with
bewildering perplexity during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
More than hundred years after the
discovery of st. Thomas by Columbus
in 1893 the island was wholly unin-
habited, although its excellent harbor
had been a port of refuge for Dutch
navigators during many decades. When
a handful of French colonists, surviv-
prs of a massacre on Crab Island per-
petuate3 by band of Spaniards from
Porto Rico, reached its shores in a
dugout in 1647 they found evidences
OF an earlier settlement, but no clues
as to the nationality of their predeces-
sors or of their fate. These French
wanderers we're not disposed to brave
a similar mysterious end, 50 they sail
ed on.
"At about the time that Peter Stuy-
vesant was establishing a representa-
tive form of government on Manhattan
Island some of his fellow eountryen
were actively establishing the first
recorded settlement on st. Thomas.
These hardy colonists met the same
fate which overlook their brother Hol-
landers of New Amsterdam for three
years after the town on the Hudson
became New York the st. Thomas pion-
GERS were forced to surrender to the
English also The latter soon deserted
the island and turned to more fertile
lands and ST. Eustatias, so that in1672
when the Danes, wishing to share in
the colonial prosperity of other Euro
pean nations, chartered the West India
and Guinea Company, st. Thomas, IN
Inhabited again, was awaiting the adj

presence of his beautiful 12-year-old
daughter, and while council was be-
ing held to determine what should be
done with her the child overwhelmed
with grief, entreated them to take her
life also, to which plea they gleefully
acceded, laying her mangled body
across that Of her father.
'The insurrection was put down on
ly after aid from the French in Mar
Unique had been invoked. Three hun
dred slaves were surrounded and when
they realized that escape was impos-
sible they held great feast of death
Tradition says that they plunged over
cliff, but the historian Host says that
they SHOT one another and that when
they were found at Brim's Bay they
were lying in circle"

vent of settlers who were to establish
Denmark's right in the island. With
two brief interruptions, this sovereign
ity has been maintained from that day
up to the present time.
"The legend that St. Thomas was at
one time the headquarters @; the ruth
less buccaneers who terrorized the
Spanish Main for so many years is
perpetuated in the names gwen to two
towers still standing on the heights
back of the seaport of Charlotte Am
allie. On one is 'Bluebeard's Gas,
tie while on an adjacent height rises
'Blackbeards Castle History does
not substantiate the romantic tradition,
and it is extremely doubtful if the buc-
cancers were ever in possession here.
When the Danes arrived they were
under very strict orders as to religious
observances and with respect to
preparedness program against rival
colonists. The first order issued by
the government was: Every person
who spoke Danish is bound to attend
services every Sunday in Christians
fort when the drum beats, and on fail
ure of doing so is to pay fine of rs
ponds of tobacco. Persons Of all other
nations are bound to attend services
every Sunday afternoon at the same
place, under the same penalty.
"As to armament the order was: For
the defense and good of the country
every household shall keep in his house
for himself and every man in his ser
vice, sword with belt, and gun with
sufficient powder and ball; and also
each house holder shall have two
pounds of powder, or and if he pleases.
Every person neglecting this duty
shall pay 100 pounds of tobacco
THE order for the citizen army ran
thus; Every Saturday afternoon when
the drum beats, all persons who can
use gun shall meet at the parade
ground full armed Any person absent,
in favorable weather shall forfeit every
time 25 pounds Of tobacco, which is to
be paid at the end of the year for the
benefit of those who meet regularly.
The shortage of labor during the
first year or two of Danish occupation

was overcome by the importation of
many slaves from the Gold Coast of
Africa. The laws governing these hui
man chattels were extremely severe.
Drum dances and feasts were forbid
den and all slaves were required to be
at home by sunset on Sundays. A slave
trangressing such regulations was for
the first offense whipped, for the sec
ond his ears were cut off, and for a
third he was hanged and his head
placed on a stake.
I'm the neighboring island of st.
John slave laws were even more dras-
tic. Here are some of the penalties
which brought about bloody insur-
rection in 1888, costing the lives of

slaves shall be pinched three times

Each other runaway slave shall
lose one leg, CT if his owner pardon
him, shall lose one ear and receive $50
stripes.
"a slave who runs away for eight
days shall have $50 stripes, ~ weeks
shall lose one leg and six months shall
forfeit his life, unless the owner par
don him with the loss of one leg

Martin Sorenson who was arrested for furious riding did not appear for trial and his hail of $25 was forfeited to the city. Martin is a sailor and while all right on a wind jammer, when it comes to the hur- ricane deck of fiery steed he IS not so much at home. He says the next time he will exceed the speed limit it will be in an auto, and he thinks that he will thus be immune. It is likely that he would not have been interfered with were it not for the fact that a native child was knocked down by the horse he was riding and the Eskimo had mar row escape.

lapse. Seeing an account of the won
