- f£ f m UNCLE SAH FOLLOWS GERMANY’S LEAD Marines Needed at This Venezuelan Pori. TO PROTECT NON-COMBATiNTS Row in Little South American Re* public Reaches Critical Stage. Minister Bowen Cables. Minister Bowen, at Caracas, advised tho state department Monday that the Germans Intend to land a naval force at Porto Cabello to protect German In terests there which are threatened by the uprising now In progress. The minister advised that we follow suit After a conference between the of ficials of . the State and navy depart ments .Instructions were cabled to Commander Nichols, of the Topeka, to proceed from La Guayra to Porto Cabello and to land a naval force In case of attack. The Topeka has al ready left for Porto Cabello. The following Instructions were ca bled to the Topeka: “Be ready to land force In case of attftek of port for protection of Ameri can Intsrests find for protection of for eign property*olso If requested. Pre vent bombardment without due no tice. DARLING, *. “Acting Secretary.” There appears to be no question as to the right of tho German naval forces to land for the protection of German Interests. It In no way In volves the Monroe doctrine. Germany has been keeping close watch on Vene zuela for some months, and at one time contemplated taking a Venezue lan port In older to compel the pay ment of certain German claims. It was In that connection that the Ger man ambassador at Washington. Dr. von Holleben, made Inquiry of Presi dent Roosevelt and the state depart ment as to whether such a move by Germany, for the sole purpose of col lecting a claim and not for the pur pose of territorial expansion, would meet with any disfavor by tho Ameri can government. The response of tho United States left Germany free to act, as the assurance that no territo rial extension was intended removed the case from the operation of the Monroe doctrine. Ttje present landing of a Grman force hrs no connection with Germany's former move against Venezuela, although assurances here tofore given by Germany serve In the present case to show that there Is no ulterior purpose behind the protection Of German interests at Porto Cabello. Minister Bowen, later in the day. ca bled the state department that the revolutionists have cut the cable at Barcelona. - SOLD OUT TO TRUST. . .... . . jj. TO DISBAND GUARD /•Pro Proposition Now Before Georgia Governor—Dissention lu Ranks the Cause. News comes from Atlanta, Gs., that It is probable that Governor Candler will be asked to disband the Gate City Guard at the request of a majority of the officers of the Fifth regiment; The grounds on which disbandment will be asked will be "for the good of the regiment,", and a showing will be made to tbs' governor and adjutant general to the effect that the company is an ineffectual military organisa tion; that certain irradlcal factions exist among the members, which make harmony Impossible, and that the best Interests of the company would be subserved by disbanding It. This conclusion was reached at a se cret meeting of a number of well- known officers of the regiment held on Thursday night last, and the plan was further confirmed at a meeting held Pridhr morning. It Is said that Governor Candler has been approach ed on the subject, and, after going over all the details, expressed the opinion that disbandment would, tin der the circumstances, be the best thing for the regiment and all con- cerned. Those present at the conferences of Thursday night and Friday morning were: Lieutenant Colonel Clifford An derson, Regimental Adjutant Burton Smith,vjtyjor W. w. Barker, Major Patton^ of Rome; Majot Thomas Par rott, and Captain B. W. Bizzell. Ev ery effort was made to keep thp sub ject matter of the cduference secret, but In some way It leaked out and was the all-absorbing topic of .conversation In military circles. None of those who attended the con ference will talk, but other members of the regiment are free In expressing their views, and seem to think that disbandment Is practically an assured fact. • If Governor Candler decides to dis band the Gate City Guard, the charges now pending against Captain James F. O’Neill, which have not yet reached the governor, will fall to the ground without further action. The deafre on the part of the officers to have the guard disbanded had Its origin In various causes and was brought to a direct head when the re cent fight was made. It Is said that It is Impossible to bring about a spirit of harmony among the members un der present, olrcumstances, and with out a better feeling the company will be continually rent asunder with fac tional differences which now destroy Its usefulness.

Bryan settled for all time the rumors that he ,wlU be a candidate for president In 1904 In an Interview Friday while on the way to Danville, Ills. Colonel Bryan, when shown newspaper reports that he might again be a candidate, was much nettled, and expressed himself In no uncertain manner. He said he wanted the matter settled right now, so there could be no further question. The. Mason City interview, be said, waa un reliable. "I will not be a candidate for presi dent In 1904," said Mr. Bryan, "while I .would not promise never to' be a candidate again under any circum stances.

If I write that I walked out into the garden to let my choler down, meaning my an ger, the typo thinks I meant my shirt coCar, and so changes the spelling to suit his own idea. But since I read an editor’s defense in a New York paper I feel better, for he says It la amazing how few of these mistakes arc made lv. the great dallies that have to be Lthls region, rushed through- with lightning, speed. The constant pressure on type setters and proof readers Is tremendous, but they rarely make any serious blun ders, and the Intelligent reader, can generally correct them In his mind. And so I will not worry any more about It. There are some little tblng3 that are of more consequence Just now. Our cook has quit, and so has the house maid—gone off to Rockmart for a week or two—gone to a house party, I think. That is all right, for the cook has been faithful a long time and needed rest. She la a good ser. vant and keeps a clean kitchen, and we have-had a house party ourselves for several months. I have been sick, but now wa are reduced to the regular family of five-and have but little to cook and can get along on two meala a day. My wife arranged It for me to fire up the stove and fill up the ket tles and grind the coffee and put on the hominy and then ring the be'.J for the girls to get up and finish 'up the breakfast. She said If I felt like It 1 mlgght sweet qut the hall and the front veranda and settle up .the front room. Well, of course, I had to'split up some kindling and bring In the atove wood, but I am getting along fairly well and my wife thinks tbe exercise la doing me good. Last night she hinted that the veranda was badly tracked up since the rain and needed a good washing. So this morning I turned loose the hose pipe on It and she praised me a right smart and I brought bar some roses from my gar den. We 1st her sleep until breakfast is ready, for she cleans up her room and makes up two beds and then sews all day for the grandchildren, but ! want that colored house party to break up as soon as possible, for I don’t hanker after this morning busi ness is a regular J6b. Mrs. Mlmms says she likes it, and I think she does. She has a good room In the back yard and good furniture and a band- some lamp to read by, and her little grandson lives with her, and I don’t know of any colored woman that baa a better time. In fact, I know of lots of good negroes In town who are con tented with tbelr situation and wilt continue so If they are let alone by the northern fanatics and southern cranks. What erase has come over that man Bleed to cause him to write such fool piece for tbe Boston magaslne? What good can It possibly do, even It it was true? But It la not true and only the product of a diseased Imagi nation. I would write hard things about him but for his family connec tions. For their take he had better have smothered bis feelings and bis pen. The Atlantic Monthly has never shown any love for the south, and why should be select that as organ passetb comprehension. Professor Bledd says the negro Is an Inferior rate. Then why doea be Insist that we give him a place In our own churches and hotels and railroad cars? It was the work of tbe Creator that made him Inferior, and be will remain to—and neither education nor misce genation will ever change-It to fur as social equality Is concerned. Moses violated the law of God when be mar ried that Ethiopian woman, and he had to discard her, and Aaron and Miriam chided him for K long after wards. Numbers. xlL The story goes, according to Josephus, that the Egyp; liana wUr* at war. with thq Ethlo- plans and had suffered defeat In «y*ry battle until Pharaoh was advised Oat ‘no one could command’his army suc cessfully but Moses. So Mote's was given'command and be marched with the. army to the borders of Ethiopia and met the Inemy and defeated them and then marched on- tb Saba,- the roy al city, and attacked fhe walls, and Tbarbls, the daughte? of tbe king, saw Moses from the window of her tower, and he was so handsome that she fell desperately In love with him and sent a messenger to bim to say that if he would marry her she would surrender the city and army to him. Moses agreed to this and their mar riage waa at once consummated. Then Moses returned, with bis’ victorious army to Egypt. He did not take with him hla Ethiopian wife, but not long after, he married Zlpporah, the daugh ter of Jethro; tho Mldianlte. So we mutt suppose that Moses mar ried the Ethiopian princess as a war measure and with no idea of keeping his promise.- At any rate it caused trouble and shame In the family, and so it has done ever slaco whenever a white person mates with a negro. What a monstrous falsehood to say that the southern negro is dehuman, lted. Right here''la our town every negro mechanic Is employed at good; wages. Blacksmiths, carpenters, ma sons, painters, draymen are all busy. Cooks,, nurses and washerwomen find uciidtant employment—and they are not on'.y contented, but sometimes dare to be merry, and laugh. Where did Sledd get all that rot about kicking and cursing and beating tbe negro? We never hear of such treatment In Mr. Milam, a truthful gentleman, whose business keeps him on the street, told me the other day that he bad heard but one oath ut tered by anybody within a year, and that wag by a northern man towards a negro whew asked him a civil Ques tion. Dehumanized, Indeed! Ask Tribble and Brown who give their shop the moat patronage. What ridic ulous tolly to demand scats in our churches for' the negroes. They have churches of their own that were built ma!n!y by the charity of the white folks. They don’t want seats in our churches. They have schools of their own that we support, and they hare excursions and baseball and water melons and funerals and Daughters ol Zion. Oh, for shame on Sledd! I pity hla family # and his kindred. He thinks he has found a mare’s nest, and for lack of something fresh has raked up Sam Hose again. He laments the lynchings. 'but not the outrages, and he proposes a remedy. Mr. Sledd can set this down—that the lynchlngs will not atop until the outrages do. When a negro dehumanises himself and be comes a beast he ought to be lynched, whether It Is Sunday or Monday. Let the lynching go on. This la the sen timent of our people, and let Boston and The Atlantic Monthly and Sledd howl. Wc are used to that Not long ago we had a lynching In Rome that was to my notion. The beast waa strung up in Broad street In the day time and shot to pieces and nobody was disguised. The town marshal and policemen and a military company, and the governor wasn’t tar away, bui not a soul said nay. That suits me ex actly.—Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitu tion.
