where the negroes are dominant they
will assert themaelAs. and because of
their superiority In Intellect and thrift

The negro Is shiftless and In many In-

eetabllihed that he committed suicide

dletance telephone. W. D. Abrams and
Jamea L. Schaaf. brolhera-ln-law of
Mr. Munroe, both aald they were posi
tive he Is the man who kilted himself
Sunday. Mr. Abrams attributed his
action to despondency from brooding
over money matters.
Mr. Munroe. who. with his brother,
James, conducted the Munroe Brick
Company, had a targe number of out
standing accounts which he had been
unable to collect. Thla. hla hrother-ln-
taw said, hail worried him to such an
extent that It la believed tie Occam

disappeared he wrote a number of
letters, one to his wife, saying he waa
very deapomlent.

Morgan, Norfolk, Va„ Mr. Munroe, it
IS bellsved, went to the Kimball House
Sunday afternoon and a short time aft
erward a pistol shot was heard In hta
room.
No papers or letters were found In
hls pockets, and It was thought at first
that he was William F. Walker, Ihe
absconding New Britain. Conn., bank
er. An examination of hta clothes,
however, ehowed that they had been
purchased In Washington. The police
telegraphed a description of Munroe lo
the Atlanta authorities, and a reply
waa received saying It fitted the dead
man perfectly. He had a short beard,
heavy moustache, and wore a Masonic
watch fob.
When telephone communication was
established It was found that hta cloth
ing coincided exactly with that worn
by Mr. Munroe. when he left Washing
ton. It bore tho name of the store
where he always purchased hls clothe*,
and was stamped by a Washington
dealer. A photograph of the dead man
haa been sent to Atlanta, and If the
Identification la made certain when It
arrives, steps will be taken to bring the
body to Washington. Mr. Munroe was
54 years old. He was marriod, but had
