2 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. Is Ant Seeking labor Emigration, 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 who will buy land and make homes and became an integral part of the common wealth.

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. FOl R UNDER DEATH SENTENCE.

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.

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.

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! ANOTHER BRUTE TO HANG. Jackaon l sssly Woraas Outraged In Absence of Her Husband. Sherill in Pnrsntt, Gainesville, Ga , March 15.— Meager re ports have been received here to-day of the raping of Mrs. Thomas Smith, on the Gainesville and Maysvllle road, near Con stantine, in Jackson county, by a negro brute, whose name Is as yet unknown. The assault was made at the home of the woman during the absence of her hus band. The Smiths reside on the Browning farm, which is owned by Mrs. Smith’s father, and it is about one mile from the Hall county line,-In Jackson county. Sheriff Gilmer and Special Bailiff Smith left here about noon for the scene of the crime with bloodhounds, but up to this hour nothing has been heard from them. If the culprit is caught he will be sum marily dealt with by the enraged people of the community. Mr. J. C. Browning, a brother of Mrs. Smith, resides near Gainesville, and is one of Hall county's most prominent citizens. 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.” TO Ct RE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Brotno-Qulnine Tablets. 25c.—ad (MINERAL INVITATIONS.
