plan it occurred to me that any
workingman in Athens can save

add as many rooms as desired at
but little expense. This is not a

By T. LARRY GANTT
1 met the other day on the street
Chancellor Barrow and exchanged
.a few words with him about the
wholesale exodus or negroes to the
North. Dr. Barrow say* some
thing ought to be dome to hold
the blacks on our farms for the
South can never find a labor to
take the plane of the negro. When
we strip our country of labor we
destroy its productiveness and also
depreciate the value of farming
lands, ’
And the wholesaX emigration of
negroes continues and shows no
signs of lessening. Many farmers
tell me they have lost all of their
hands, while others have not en
ough labor left to cultivate their
crops next year. The depot agents
say- they dally sell tickets, to ne
groes . for the North or Middle
West Most of them and employ
ment In shop* as the railroads
stripped them of labor during the
strike. Some are working in coal
mines.
In some countries the negroes
.are frightened away by notlree
stuck, up warning them that they
must leave or their lives will be
la danger.. Of course such notices
are put up by Irresponsible per
sons who have no regard for the
future of their section- The best
people in every community ought
to organise and assure negroes
protection.

“The law for the establishment of a national statuary hall, as
it appears in .he ‘Revised Statutes’ of the United States, second
edition,.1878, is, in pari, as follows: ‘And the president is author
ized to inVite all the states to provide and furnish statues, in
marble or bronze, not exceeding two in number for each state,
Of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof, and illus
trious for their historic renown, or for distinguished civic or
military services, such as each state may deem to be worthy of
this national commemoration.’ ” -

.Who lived by sffly standards and.
by puritanlo rules.
He felt the whole community was
out to chain and bind him.
And* as soon aq he was old enough
he left it all behind him.
He left- that simple village life
which he had soundly bated.
And thought that in the city he.
he would be appreciated.
So in the great metropolis he
started his careering,
But presently he found himself
continually sneering
At all the 'narrow-minded folks’
among whom he meandered;
There wasn't anyone he met who
seemed to fit his standard.
He talked about a something
which he called “The Greater
Freedom,”
But people seemed too occupied to
follow where he’d lead ’em. -
He called the crowd "Intolerant”—.
he spoke with some asperity—
And yet he wouldn’t tolerate or
view with any charity
The worries of the multitude, what
ever" they might be;
"Alas,” he cried, “this narrow
world Is out of step with me!”

The circus giant, Captain George Auger, is buried—with a

weighed 385 pounds. It becomes’known that he-died just,as he
was about to enter the movies with Harold Lloyd at a salary of
$350 a week.' Most of these sideshow attractions get about $5Q a
week and board and lodging. Auger died just as his fingers were
closing on the top qf the ladder. So do most of the rest of us.

. The X-ray, most mysterious 'of man’s inventions, claims an-
. other victim—Prof. Vaillant, famous Parisian. He has just under
gone his 13th operation to cheek a baffling, creeping malady,
caused by xeposure to the X-ray, that is killing him by inches. It
started during his research work for the benefit''of humanity.
Monuments to Prof. Vaillant and similar martyrs of science
would be more sensible than the ones usually erected, most of them
in honor of military destroyers. So-called humanity still is more
interested in life-taking than in life-saving.
The ex-kaiser begins showipg signs of being married. His
new wife is “adjusting" the routine at Do6m castle. Bill had
been keeping himself in the house and hack yard, as secluded as
n< Greek oracle. Now he shows up daily in the village, and word
leaks out that “the old lady” sends him for^a walk. You .can al
most hear her, in highbrow phraseology, telling him to stir his
stumps and go out and get some fresh air instead of sitting
around moping and breaching tobacco smoke. One of these days
BUI will return from his walk to find tho furniture changed
about-including his pet chair. Whether ex-kaiser or
plain citizen, whether man or wife, the system soon tames most
of u«, makes us stand without hitching.

by repeating his formula: “Every day, in every way, I get better
and better.” Europe’s favorite indoor sport is “panning' the tar”
out of us. But as soon as a European gets a good "act,” he buys
a ticket for America. The U. S. A. seems to be an international
