NEGRO LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
OOMMISftIMIvH STBVBXS BEFORE 1N-
Dt Si'll IAL COMMISSION.
Wax on Ihr Stand Four Honrs and
Enllnhmird Ihr Member* of the
Commission Considerably m to the
Conditions in the Sooth— I The Itgru
Labor Sufficient for Present Needs,
He Said—He Is Kindly Treated and
In Not I>efranded of the Frnlts of
Hin Ixltoro.
Washington, March 15.—Commissioner
of Agriculture Stevens was the star wit
ness before the Industrial Commission to
day, and in the ‘course of the testimony
be submitted, he gave a very Interesting
insight Into agricultural and labor condi
tions in Georgia.
The commission had submitted to him
a series of questions designed to bring
out the important facts about agricultural
conditions in the Southern States, and
Commissioner Stevens had prepared quite
an elaborate reply to these interrogato
ries. After he had made his statement,
the members of the commission, who
were very much interested in what he
had to say. cross-examined him at great
length. The result was he was on the
stand for nearly four hours.
Mr. Stevens does not take the pessi
mistic view of negro labor which is held
by some other Southerners, but believes
that, for present purposes at least, negro
labor fills the requirements of the agri
cultural South better than any other la
bor could. Some of the Northern mem
ber* of the Industrial Commission’ seem
ed to have the idea that Southern men
systematically defraud the negroes of
their just returns for their labor.
Commissioner Stevens immediately disa
bused their minds as to this. He pre
sented statistics showing that for the
work they do, the negro farm laborers
receive adequate returns: that they are
i-ontented, and that their condition is im
proving with marked rapidity.
When he had concluded Mr. Clark, the
acting chairman of the commission, com
plimented Commissioner Stevens very
highly upon the valuable testimony ne
had given, saying it was very evident that
he was thoroughly familiar with all of
the matters he discussed, and said that
what he had had to say had thrown very
interesting light upon the Southern situ
ation. Commissioner Stevens left for At
lanta to-night.
WHAT THE WITH *KKIS.

Mid Hr. Stfioot.
(By Associated Pfese.)
Washington, March 15.—0. B. Stevens,
commissioner of agriculture for the state
of Georgia, to-day testified before the
Industrial Commission concerning the
progress of farming In that state, which
he sold had been especially marked dur
ing the past two years. In that time
there bad been, he said, a great advance
In the use of Improved machinery on
the farm. He expressed the opinion that
the best remedy against crime and va
grancy among the agricultural laborers
is: Better churohes. better schools and
Improved mail facilities— In other words,
greater enlightenment.
The maximum wages for this class of
labor, Mr. Stevens said, is 516 per month,
and the minimum (5, with house, fuel,
etc., furnished free. He had, he said,
never seen a time when a man who want
ed work could not get it. There was
no disposition to prevent negro tenants
becoming owners of their farms, and
there were many instances of such own
ership. Nor was there any disposition
or. the part of the white landowners to
©tpresg negro tenants or laborers, but
Mr. Stevens considered the tenant sys
tem a bad one He also said that Geor
gia is not seeking labor Immigration,
but that the state does Invite Immigrants

MACON NEGRO LETS OFF EASY.
Should Have Ileeii Hung for Attack
ing Miss l>Uon' House.
Mneon, March 15.—Klbert Kendrick, the
negro who attacked Miss Zena Dixon's
residence near Manchester Mills Christ
mas eve night, and with whom the lit
tle woman fought a hand-to-hand duel
until she had exhausted all the cartridges
in her pistol, was to-ntght found guilty
of unlawful shooting at another. Judge
Felton, in passing sentence, said: "You
are guilty of a foul crime, and I regret
the jury has put it out of my power to
impose a heavy sentence upon you. I
trill give you the limit, however. You
went to that house on Christmas eve night
when filled with Christmas whisky, and
attempted to murder this woman, whom
you knew to be alone with
an invalid and defenseless sister.
If you had killed Tobe Anderson,
who went to her assistance, those men
in that community would have been jus
tified In tearing you to pieces.”
Kendrick had pleaded that he was not
at the house and had nothing to do with
the shooting, but the young lady had a
lamp in her hand and says she saw him
within eight feet of her. He had tw-o pis
tols and she had only one. He missed
her every shot because he was too drunk
to shoot straight, and tried to shoot with
both hands at once, so the state claims,
but The jury gave him the benefit of the
doubt on this point, and took it for
granted that he was not trying to kill the
woman, although she shot off the bridge
of his nose, and he declared to her that
he would kill her for It. He riddled her
house with bullets after she got away
from him, and re-entered it. He was an
gry because his wife had quit him, and
secured a cook's place at the house.

THE MOKMMi NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 10.1901.
THE EMORY AIM AL.
‘•Tile Zodiac” to Mnke its Appear
nnee on May t.
Emory College, Oxford, Ga., March 15.
The seventh volume of the Zodiac, the
Emory annual, will be given to the pub
; lie on May 1, and will be one of the best
publications ever gotten out by a South
ern college. The Zodiac was established
in 1893, H. F. Harris being the first ed
itor-in-chief. The board of editors has
always been composed of nine men. From
1893 to 1898 the Zodiac was Issued contin
uously. the six volumes issued showing
great improvement, one after another.
In the fail of 1898, through an unfortu
nate disagreement as to the selection of
the editor-in-chief, the college was di
vided on the matter, and consequently no
Zodiac appeared, either in 1899 or in 1900.
East fail an agreement was reached
which proved satisfactory to all parties
concerned, and the work of preparing the
annual has been In the hand* of the fol
lowing board of editors: Editor-in-chief,
E. C. Sasnett of Atlanta; business man
ager. Howard E. Elder of Waycroas; lit
erary editors, William F. Quiliian, Jr., of
Madison, 1. 9. Hopkins, Jr., of St. Houls,
Mo.; Eeroy Pharr of Buford and Eauren
W. Foreman of Washington, Ga.; art ed
itor, H. O. Jones of Toccoa; athletic l ed
itor, Hugh A. Woodward of Winchester,
Tenn., and statistic editor, Julian H. Jor
dan of Sandersville.
The excellence of the seventh volume
of the Zodiac will be due more to the
efforts of Mr. H. G. Jones, the art editor,
than to any other man. The drawings
which have been sent to the publishers by
Mr. Jones, are greatly superior to those
which have appeared in any previous is
sue of the Zodiac and will represent both
unusual talent and a large amount‘of
work on the part of the art editor.
Nearly all the work on the Zodiac has
been completed and the publication will
be out on time. The photographs and
drawings were sent to the engravers on
the first of this month and the literary
matter will go to the publishers on the
first of April
The firs tedition will consist of 600 vol
umes. The appearance of this volume of
the Zodiac promises to be quite an event
in Emory journalism, and all who are in
terested in the college will be glad to
learn that it will be again issued.

ELEPHANTS IA THE WATER.
They Were the Outy Animals That
Saved Themselves In n Shipwreck.
From Cassell’s Magazine.
When a number of elephants ure shipped
a strong structure Is erected on deck and
there they are stabled, chained by th.
feet. No doubt in an emergency they
could easily walk awey with their chains
and the deck flooring, .throwing the stable,
aside If It offered any impediment to their
progress and the door happened to be shut.
Elephants, fortunately, are not always
putting forth their prowess and the chains
in ordinary wenther and ordinary circum
stances keep them sufficiently In check.
About twenty years ago William Jani
rach. who had made a fortune, was re
turning from India with a cargo of ele
phants. black panthers, tigers, cheetahs,
leopards, hyenas, apes, serpents, orang
outangs. and rare birds of all kinds. He
valued the lot at 535,000. The Agra—.that
was the name of the ship he was coming
home on—was swinging at her anchor off
Point de Ualle, Ceylon.
Suddenly there teas heard a fearful crash
thst guve pause u> everything. The chat
tering. the screaming, the growling and
the roaring of the animals stopped dead.
The startled men looked for Just a mo
ment straight in the face of each other.
Then the exclamation. "Good heavens,
she's sinking!" was followed by a clamor
that Just blotted out the stillness. At one
and the aume moment both man and beast
set med to realize the situation and at one
and the same moment .they all began to
exhibit symptoms of the alarm they felt.
In the cose of the men they' were free to
devise means of escape und they Immedi
ately busied themselves accordingly. In
the case of the animals they were confined
and had to undergo the horror of facing
a death they were powerless to avert It
Is natural for un animal to die til combat
with an enemy and while the combat lasi*
there u* lio|>e of escape. There Is no
facing of death here, the animal Is other,
wise engaged -engaged too. In n natural
way. But wllli the animals cooiiad up un
the Agra, with never an enemy to fight,
it was far different, and they gave vert to
cries of unbounded disturb'. The elephant
made t* noise, tear, hut there was mb one
touch of despair there It was the busi
nesslike sound ot crashing Umber, and
before the Agra loot reached the bottom
a ber<l of elephants was swimming to
Ceylon!

Ml NT ACHES, AND GAMBLER*.
Ilslr on the Face Once the Badge of
a Card Mharp.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
''Back In 1850.” remarked a New Or
leans professional man, chatting about
old times, ”a mustache was regarded with
great suspicion all through the Mississip
pi valley. It was supposed to be tbe
mark of either a military swashbuckler
or a gambler, and a gentleman, particu
larly if he wanted to go into society,
shaved smooth. Beards were looked upon
as an unclean foreign affectation, and
I recall a curious incident based on that
prejudice. A charming young English
gentleman, who was a near relative of a
distinguished men of science, was visit
ing at a river town noted for its aris
tocratic and punctllitous society. He was
a fine specimen of physical manhood, and
following a fashion which had just ob
tained a foothold in Ix>ndon, he wore a
heavy blonde mustache and a set of lux
uriant. curly whiskers—much after the
style of our old friend Taffy in 'Trilby.'
Nowadays he would be envied the pos
session of such a superb ornament, but
the good ladles of the town were greatly
perplexed, and after much consultation
they finally decided that they could not
countenance such a barbarous custom and
would have to decline to receive him un
less he shaved. The young Englishman
realized that he had to choose between
whiskers and ostracism and being a
plucky chap he packed his trunk and
went back to Eondon on the next boat.
To revert to the mysterious connection
between gamblers and mustaches, a
thatched tipper lip eventually became
such a well-recognized badge of the trade
that card sharps who wanted to avoid
suspicion were forced to shave clean.
One noted professional, who worked the
big river boats, looked a great deal like
a sanctimonious deacon when bis mus
tache was removed, and he used to make
a point of dressing in a long-tailed ruety
black coat, with a white cravat. Going
up to Vicksburg one night, X was sitting
in earshot when he attracted the atten
tion of a group of gay young gentlemen,
playing poker in the msln saloon. He was
seated by himself reading a book, and
was evidently unknown to the party. 'l'll
bet that old rascal plays poker on the
sly,’ said one of the crowd. ‘Ask him
to join us,’ said another, as a Joke, and
the first speaker acted on the sugestion.
The stranger was very reluctant at first,
but finally said he ‘calculated he wasn't
too old to learn,'and took a hand.A couple
of hours later he got off at a lending
with every dollar in the crowd, remark
ing casually that Be would now give his
mustache a chance. On another occasion
I was going up to Louisville on some
Important business and had been warned
especially to look out for gamblAw. W
had the usual crowd of sharpers on board,
and it chanced that among our passen
gers were a lot of army men, fresh from
the West, where mustache* were coun
tenanced. Consequently, when we reach
ed old Galt House at Eousivilie and I
made some inquiries of friends, X was
chagrined to find that all the people I
had been fraternizing with were gamb
lers and all those I had been snubbing
and avoiding were gentlemen.”
