Lena Incident Discussed
FEARED TO BE THE BEQINMNO OF.
GRAVE TROUBLE.
Union Associated Pre
Washington, Sept. 15 — Opin
ions are openly expressed in
diplomatic circles hers that the
Lena incident is but the begin
ing of an intentionally grave
situation created by the Russian
government to involve other nas
tions, and escape the humiliation
of defeat by, Japan. At the
time the Lena was dispatched to
the Pacific coast, the Russian
government anticipated th j fall
of Port Arthur,-and the possible
capture of Kuropatkih’s army.
This would mean practically uL
timate defeat of .Russia, and the
blow would be so humiliating to
the nation that she could not re
cover from it.
By involving other nations,
Russia, could in the end, with
draw gracefully without being
compelled to admit she had been
conquered on sea and land by
one of the smallest nations on
the globe.
It is pointed out that the un
warranted seizure of neutral
ships is a part of their plan to
'involve other powers.
A Card From Dr. Walker.
Editora Herald:
Mr. H. Murphy, chairman
waterworks committee is quoted
by your reporter as stating that
the cause of much of the sicks
ness in the city is due to the dirty
condition of some of the back
yards and -many of the alleys.
He also states that the system of
sewerage Is too perfect to admit
of leaks, etc. I would like to
ask Mr. Murphy to state whether
or not there was a leak In the
sewer on Mary street, which
emptied its matter into the canal,
and how long this leak was per
mitted to continue after its dis
covery before repair was made.
I would ask, too, if there was
a break in the sewer on Lott
street, and bow long it emptied
into the canal before it was res
paired.
Now, Mr. Murphy, if these
breaks existed in the sewer, will
you please stale when they were
discovered and when repaire-J,
and would such a condition pro
duce typhoid fever? Then, if it
would cause typhoid fever might
it not taka its share of the
responsibility along with back
yards and alleys ?
Very respectfully,
J. L. Walker.

Wiley also talked over the long
distance telephone with Colonel
Wooten, of the FouYtli regiment,
iufantry, at Albany, and it is
understood that Colonel Wooten
stressed the fact that no more
Statesboro business was wanted'
in Georgia.
Major Wiley left for Camilla

The prisoner whom the mili.
tary is sent to protect is a negro
named Wilford, who was arrest
ed near Sneeds, Fla., and who is
beiug carried to Camilla for trial,.
He killed a bailiff named West,
and shot a citizen named Cox,
who were .trying to arrest him,
nearly a year ago.

to-morrow morning tor Camilla,
forty strong, where they join an
equal number from Albany.
Telephone advices say every
thing is quiet at Camilla, and
that the military will prevent
trouble. The battalion will leave
here with loaded guns.
Educated Farmers.
Apropos of the work of the
Farmers' Institute, we quote the
following from R. W. Scott, in
Southern Farm Magazine.
What we need is educated,
trained farmers. If we could
take young men who have been
trained to work on the farm and
give them such education as is
given at this and similar institu
tions, you would soon see a revo-.
lutiou in farming methods. I
believe the state could afford to
give a young man who would
pledge himself to go back home
and demonstrate what an agri
cultural educat.on means, an
education absolutely free.
"I am most heartily in favor
of Farmers’ Institutes and in
sympatny with the great work
the agricultural department of
onr state and nation are doing
and trying to do for the farmers,
Rome, Sept. 14,—The Georgia but we need special education to

Tillman on Southern Mobs.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.—In a
letter to Supreme Court Reporter
Bryant of Lincoln, Senator Till
man of South Carolina defends
the recent burning of uegroes at
the South. He says:
The act of the mob at States
boro is to be deplured, bat more
deplorablo is the fact that a whole
family of white people have been
butchered, stumped out, by the
two fiends who were lynched aud
their accomplices. The more
despicable is the condition in the
Southern states which make
such a thing possible and which
promisee to make them of more
frequent occurrence in the fu
ture.
'Mobs ure bud, but they are
evidence of the spirit of liberty.
We of the South have throwu off
the yoke of the black majority,
we did It because life had ceased
to be worth living on the terms
and. ’conditions which existed
from 1868 to 1870.
“From necessity we used force
and fraud to overcome the negro
majority. This negroes have the
mein.iry ol eight years of license
aud, inspired by the actions aud
utterances of President Roose
velt, they have given credence
only too plentiful of a hope and
belief that their time will, come
again. Race antigonism and
haired grow apace.
“The whites are resolved to
govern at whatever cost, because
experience lias shown that any
other course means ruin- Negro
equality is something that will
not lie tolerated, and if it comes
to war the negroes will he exter
minuted. The while people of
the South are on lop and they
will stay there.’’
