ME PROBLEM
DISRDPTS CUBA
Present Revolution Result of
Effort to Bar Blacks From
Government Places.
HAVANA. CUBA. June 29—The
most lurid reports regarding condi
tions in <’uba have been given to the
outside world. Homicide, pillage and
arson have been charged against the
negro insurreotos. They have been
characterized as fiends incarnate, while
tlie Government troops have been pic
tured as models of forebearance.
These impassions have been the
product <>f th 1 Cuban government, in
a large measure, and fail in many re
spects to delineate the real situation in
the island.
The Cuban situation is indeed se
rious, but not of so serious a nature
that it will demand immediate inter
vention by the United States, although
it presents a problem that threatens
the future autonomy of the republic.
This problem is nothing more or less
than the race question, which has bem
a Source of embarrassment to Cubans
for nearly a hundred years.
Three Parties Seek Control.
I'iie imbroglio that prevails here' is
an evolution of political growth accen
tuated by the presence of the color
line. The island, at the present mo
ment. is torn by the endeavors of three
political parties to gain control and
tlte insultectlon was forced by the
domineering tactics of the political
party in power, the I.iberals. who are
led by President Jose Miguel Gomez.
I’he other parties in the field are the
Revolutionists, or negio party, under
General Evaristo Estonez. who has just
been kiljed by the l-'ederals, and the
Conservatives, who rally around the
standard of their puesidential candi
date. General Menocal. Os these three
divisions, only tyvo are taking part in
the present warfare. These are the
Revolutionists, who have been under
the command of General Estonez, and
the liberals, under President Gomez.
The Conservatives, while siding moral
ly Ith the Liberals, are on the fence
and hope, through the present disturb
ance.- to gain control of the govern
ment.

A GEOKGJ-AxX AND NEWS. SA'I I KDAY. JUNE 29. 1912.
FIRST DEFEAT FOB
MR. Hill, OF 8188
He Fails to Collect an Ancient
Bill for Mr. Sims. Victim of
Soulless Railroad.
Joe Hill Hail, the gentleman from
Bibb and the bulldog orator of the low
er house, went down in defeat
in his first crossing of oratorical swords
with Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb, bls
ancient adversary. The speech-making
was healed and prolonged, and though
Mr. Hall lost out he sent several of his
antagonists to the tall grass before the
house tired of spellbinding anti yelled
for a vote.
It was house resolution No. 54 which
started It all. That is the ancient claim
of the heirs of Sherman J. Sims, for an
amount which was once S7OO and which
has grown, by interest, to $1,175.40.
The claim Is 20 years old and it has
been before the legislature for ten
years, always pigeon-holed sidetracked
forgotten or otherwise sent to the dis
card. Mr. Hall tried to revive it to
day’. but lost. •
'Tis an Old, Old Story.
Away back in the dark ages the
commonwealth of Georgia built a rail
road. known as the Northeastern. It
needed a little strip of land from Sher
man Sims' farm, and it took it. prom
ising Sims, his family, his heirs and
assigns, a free pass over said road
as often as the trains ran.
The Sims family rode until the state
grew tired of railroading and sold its
road to the Southern. That soulless
corporation declined to honor the pass
of the Sims family, which had grown
considerably in tile meantime. And
ever since thbn the Sims family has
been trying to make the state pay what
they considered the value of said free
transportation.
Adjectives A-Plenty.
According to Mr. Alexander, it was
a question whether the state would or
would not sn?ni7* to the perpetration
of a pernicious graft, with other ad
jectives attached. According to Mr.
Hall, the state had pledged its sacred
word, the courts had rendered a judg
t menl in favot of Sherman Sims, his
heirs, and the house of representatives
was in duty bound to vote the appro
priation or hang its head in disgrace
forever. He had considerable support,
too. Mr. Kimbrough, of Harris, and
others adding their voices to the vol
ume of oratory. Mr. Alexander came
back several times.
At last the house grew tired and de
manded that the committee of the
whole rise and report that the resolu
tion do not pass. It carried by a sub
stantial majority and the Sims claim
• was buried once more.

She Wants Her Little Cabin Back
'AUNTIE’ HAUNTS CAPITOL
Elizabeth Gibson sat on the stone
roping at the foot of Gordon’s statue
today and watched w'ith doglike eyes
the hurrying throng of lawmakers on
their way to the state house. Her old
blaOk face, shining with the anticipa
tion which fifteen years of disappoint
ment has not destroyed, was turned to
ward each member in an effort to gain
attention. Sometimes, if he paused, old
I.izzie would begin her hopeless, worn
out appeal, but none ever stayed to lis
ten tn the end.
But Lizzie didn't give up hope She
will sit there tomorrow and the next
day. and the next, just as she has sat
for many sessions, confident that some
day a friendly "white gentleman" will
hear her story and win back for iter the
property site fondly claims as her own.
f'ld Elizabeth told one stroller her
story today. She Is always ready to
tell of het troubles, willing to pour out
to any listener the history of her
wrongs. She does not ask for alms:
for, though she is half-witted and
homeless, she is not yet a willing men
dicant. She just wants her property
back.
"Please, suh, young marster. make
’em gimme my prop’ty bas k, ” she urged
the passerby. "Detn white gen’lemens
up there kin do it. De bead man. ho
tole me one time dey mought do it.
Won’t you please, sub. ax ’em to gimme
back my’ little pn.p’ty?"
"Hit Was in Reynol’stown.”
"Where was your property, auntie."’
asked the passer. "Tell me about It."
"Hit was in Reynol'stown, marster."
explained Lizzie. ' Hit was right out
here in Reynol’stown. I wukkecl my
han’s mos’ to de bone to pay hit out’n
debt, and when 1 got my papers I feit
lak a rich ’ooman. Dey was a nigget
took it fust; and den de white men dey
took it. Dey mus’ be jus’ low-down
w hite trash, stealin’ prop’ty off’n a nig
ger ’ooman. don’t you think so, mars
ter'.’ Dey took my papers and dim de
high sheriff ho come and tell me I mus’
git out’n my place. He ssjy it don’t
belong to me no mo’."
It has been fifteen years since Ehza
beth Gibson’s drunken husband sold the
little tract In the negio suburb for
which Elizabeth had worked so hard.

one day she learned that the place
was no longer hers. She had neon
tricked by her husband into signing
the deed and the land had been sold.
The lawyers explained as gently as
they could that she rould find no re
dress. hut on that day old Elizabeth’s
brain failed het.
Haunts the Capitol.
Eve, since I lien she has haunted the
court house and the eapitol, begging th ■
"white folks" m give her back her
home. She drifts from the governor's
uflieo to the sheriff's: sometimes shr
waits on the stairs for one nf the Judgi ■
to hear her plea; sometimes she goes
tn Utility hall, when- Warden Evans
helps Iter a little nut nf the fund pro
vided for tile city's poor. And when
one official tires of her monotonous
narrative he sends her tn another, as a
small boy is sent from pillar to post in
a praetical joke.
Did Lizzie has made the weary round
until she is- weak and querulous, until
her back is bowed, her shoes pitiful

St J BOYD HEIR
Woman Declares Kin Who
Stayed Out of Lawsuit Fared
Much Better.
Mrs. S. I* Oxford, of Atlanta, aimed
a slap at Tom Watson today in a state
ment. given tn The Georgian, concern
ing the Watson-Mercer row over th*
settlement of the Boyd estate. In the
course of that row Mercer threatened to
go down to Thomson and cowhide the
Sage of McDuffie, but hasn’t done it
yet.
Mrs. Oxford declares the Boyd heirs,
of which she Is one. who stayed out of
the lawsuit brought by Watson’s firm
fared just twice as well as those who
took part in the action. Says Mrs. Ox.
ford, among other things:
My sister, Mrs. West, who first
wrote Mr. Watson about the case,
did not intend a lawsuit, but her
husband thought Mr. Watson could
advise him what was best to do.
He also was a stranger to the ex
ecutors. but he lived over in Ala
bama. and my sister (his wife)
wrote to Mr. Watson for advice.
Site told me that she never intend
ed any lawsuit.
She Didn’t Want Lawyer.
.There were fifteen heirs and
three of them were induced to sign
the papers to get the case in law,
induced to do so by Green & Wat
son. and it all started from the let
ter my sister. Mrs. West, wrote to
Mr. Watson. The heirs who did
nbt go to law with the executors
came out with about twice as much
as those who went to Mr. W'atson.
They wrote me urging me to go
in the lawsuit, and offered to take
my case for fifteen per cent, but I
did not want a lawyer, because I
. knew the executors would do the
host thing, and 1 know now they
have.done the best thing.
(>f course, the lawsuit cost all of

lawyers to oppose Watson (t Green.
I am sorry there was any law
suit. The executors managed the
estate well, and we received more
than Uncle Phil was worth when
ho died.
