NEGROES SINiNOLEu
Bl FALSE AGENTS
ATLANTA, Ga., June 2.-When the
Chicago Tribune, which boastfull' ,
[proclaims itself "The World’s Greatest!
Newspaper,” and which has been more
' bitter, probably than any other paper I
[in the United States in its attacks on i
ithe south and southern people, espec
ially in regard to, the treatment of
negroes, comes out in an editorial
strongly urging negroes to stay away
from the north, because southern peo
pie will treat them better than north
ern people will treat them, it is cer-.
tainly time for the colored man to
I strike the scales from his eyes and
wake up to his own best interests, in
the opinion of H. M. Stanley, state
commissioner of commerce and labor
of Georgia, who calls attention to the
recent Tribune editorial advising ne- (
groes to stick to their white folks who
understand them.
The experience of a negro from
Randolph county may be cited as fair
ly typical of the misfortunes that lie
along the pathway of the uneducated,
hard-working, honest colored man
who leaves the community where the
white folks know him an respect him,
and fares forth into the world to seek
! the rainbow lure of high wages.
This negro sold his farm, brought
his family to Atlanta and purchased
i tickets to Patterson, N. J., after, which i
! he checked his trunk and sat down in
I the waiting room until time for hi
train to leave . Presently a smart,
| crooked city negro came along and
! "frisked” him out of his money and his
tickets. The old negro appealed to
i the station agent, who found that his!
! trunk had already gone. He advised
! the negro to go back to Randolph
1 county, which advice was rejected. Th a;
i negro said he had S4OO in his trunk,
I if they could get it back. The station
! agent made arrangements for the
1 negro and his family to spend the
night in Atlanta, telegraphed for the
[ trunk and got it back, and the negro
! opened it, took out his money, bought
h’tn another set of tickets and re
i checked his trunk, then went on to
| Patterson with only a few dollars left
j from the sale of his farm.
1 Next winter when he gets cold and
hungry he’ll probably come back —If
1 he can.
WAY GO TO PRISON IF THEY
DOYT STOP THEIR TALK
~ —>
ATLANTA, Ga„ June 2.—ls the peo
ple in Georgia who are talking against
registration don’t stop their talk to
day, they are going to the Federal
Prison, and some of them may go there
for long terms of years.
L. J. Baly, special agent of the de
partment of justice in this city, gave
out a statement to this effect yester
day afternoon, and at the same time
Hooper Alexander, United States dis
trict attorney in the northers district
of Georgia, issued a statement warn
ing traitors that they will be dealt
with as traitors, with prompt indict
ments and prison sentences.
These statements, taken in connec
tion with President Wilson’s proclama
tion aimed at slackers, are generally
expected to put a quietius on the
loose talk of people who are- advising
men of military age not to register.
The department of justice knows the
names of the kuilty parties, and its
agents are going to be at the registra
tion precincts where they live, and
whn the arm o fthe law reaches out
to get them it will not miss its mark.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD ER.
NEED FOB HORSES
CONTINUES STRONG
NEW YORK, June 2.—Owners and I
breeders of through bred horses for J
racing and other purposes insist that
the horse still is an indispensable na
tional asset. Notwithstanding , the
enormous number of motor vehicles
now used in warfare they claim that
the British Government has purchased j
considerably more than one million
horses and a quarter of a million
mules since the beginning of the Euro
pean conflict.
Speaking on the subject of breeding
and procuring horses for military pur
poses General G. T. M. Bridges, chief
army representative of the British
Commission, recently said to a prom
inent American racing official that he
1 was deeply interested in this import
ant topic.
‘‘in the artillery branch of the ser
vice,” Genera, BMdges said, ’’the
horse is still not only most useful, but
in many instances cannot be replaced
by tractors or motor vehicles of any
type. Roads are built when possible,
but in the case ofa raid advance,
teams of eight heavy draught artillery
horses drag' their guns over ground
that is absolutely impassable to any
motor yet invented. In the artillery
[many light draught American bred
1 horses are now used, but for the long
1 pull the old-fashioned type of English
Clydesdale and other English work
ing breeds seem to give the best re
sults. They have size, activity, endur
ance, weight moving capacity, and
j courage in plenty. The Anglo-Norman
tvpe of horse used by the French so
successfully, and the old-fashioned
English heavy draught horses make
the most serviceable artillery horse.
From the beginning of the war to date
the supply of all types, of horses has
been too small to permit us to be ultra
critical as to type.
"The usefulness of the horse is not
confined to artillery and cavalry. The
pack horse, though occupying a more
(humble position, is none the less in
dispensable. Munitions, food and wa
ter are carried by him into regions
where the motor cannot penetrate.
"As to the cavalry horse. Today, the
line may be said to be one vast trench
from the Channel to Switzerland. Con
sequently th ■ cavalry at present can
not be used for flank movements, form
erly one of its chief objectives. In
rapid movements to assist in the cap
ture of villages and to hold them until
reinforcements are supplied, the cav
alry is quite frequently used. As a
, matter of fact the cavalry today is
mounted infantry, most useful on ac
count of its mobility, while in some
instances their mounts are used »to
bring infantry to the front in quick
order. Eaeh cavalry brigade is now
armed with 24 (machine) guns on
pack, every troop having one machine
gun, and always render a good ac
count. of themselves. General Haig is

• Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx
The home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes
a strong believer in the cavalry, and
while today holds it behind the lines
he will not permit it to be decreased.
When the German line is finally brok
en, the cavalry will be needed to oc
cupy and hold advanced ground until
the arrival of infantry and artillery re
inforcements. The day of the old-time
cavalry charge has probably passed,
Lut in many respects the cavalry is
still a most serviceable branch of the
army.
"For the officer’s mount, always an
important consideration in the army,
the Irish hunter has proved the most
suitable and serviceable, though many
officers have used the English thor
oughbred and former polo mounts to
advantage. This type of horse is us
ually of good appearance and should
show breeding, substance and bone,
and should have been taught to cover
rough ground and if necessary jump
fences, ditches and trenches.
“Somewhere the statement was made
that the average life of the horse at
*
the front is ten days. Had this been
the case we should never have been
abje to*supply the losses caused by
such mortality. As a matter of fact, i
about 40% of the horses brought to I
the Continent by the First Expedition - ■
ary Forces are still alive, and in better I I
condition than when first shipped ;
across the Channel. ■<
