SUIT AGAINST . EMERSON. Bromo-Seltzer Millionaire is Sued for $100,000 by His Son-in-Law, Dr. Homer. The State. Dr. J. E. Emerson. the bromo-setl zer millionaire who has bought a !eautiful iom- at Georgetown. and has a great many acquaintances in this state, has been brought into no toriety which must be unpleasant on aCcount of a suit filed against him by T. Mitchell Horner, his son-in-law. A dispateh from Baltimore says: "T. Mitchell Horner, who resided for 10 years in Atlanta as the resi dent manager of the Bromo-Saltzer Dri. -ompany, after he married Miss Daisy Emerson of Baltimore, filed suit today in court against Dr. and Mrs. Isaac -E. Emerson, claiming $100.000 for the alienation of his wife's affections. "Dr. Emerson is the man who made millions out of bromo-seltzer, after he discovered the secret pre paration. while a poor druggist. and since coring into his wealth has been a world Lraveler and enjoying the good things of this world in a lavish manrler. "Yorner elaims that his wife's af fections have not only been alienated but he has been unable to locate her. He has sent her many letters, some in care of her parents, but no answer has been fortheomding. From other sources it is learned that Mrs. Hor ner is abroad, presumably in London, with her other married sister. "Last May, while the Horners were living in Atlanta, the wife re ceived an invitation from her father c'ver the long distance telephone, to accompany him to Europe. This was agreeable to Horner, and the wife left. Since that time he has not seen her. Subsequently orders were receiv ed from Baltimore to close the drug company branch in Atlanta, and Hor ner was dismissed as the manager, so '.it is alleged. "Mrs. Emerson denied that she bad aided in the alienation of Mrs. Horner's affection for her husband, and said that while she knew where her daughter was located she would not divulge her whereabouts. ''When the Horners lived in Atlan ta they har build on Peachtree street one of the hanidsomest residence on that thoroughfare. They lived in Sluxury and were prominent in the .gay set of that city. Mr. Horner comes of a prominent Baltimore fam ily.'' An Atlanta special says: ''Mr. and Mrs. T.' Mitchell Horner lived in Atlanta for some eight or nine years, and during that time were prominent socially. Mrs. Horner owned a beau tiful home near Brookwood, and en tertained lavishly. Tall and striking looking, she attracted attention wher ever she went for her elegant cos tumes which gave her the reputation of being one of the best dressed wom en in the city. ''T. Mitchell Horner was better known to his friends as 'Jack.' He is a Harvard graduate, a lover of horseflesh, and a hale fellow well met, who had hundreds of friends. He was ever a good spender, and nothing was too good for his friends. He cared, little for society. "'Some months ago it was rumored that things were not going at all smoothly with the Horners, but lit tle attention was paid to the rumors, as society had heard other rumors of the kind a year or so before. How ever, there came a day when gossip was given a more definite form. Mrs. Horner left the city, and left instruc tions with a local real estate firm to dispose of her horses and a number of personal effects. ''Mr. Horner confided to his friends that his wife had left him. He spent the summer at Lithia Springs.'' THE DEBT TO MISSIONARIES. New York Evening Post. Dispatches from London speak of a serious strain between the American Congregational missionaries in Natal and the authorities. The Govern ment 's hostility is based on the alleg ed fact that in the formidable Zulr * surreetion of 1906 the spirit if di-y alty was particularly strong among the natives connected with Christian missions. The Congregational system of erecting churches under native pas tors is specially objected to, because it tends to inculcate in the native3 a spirit of independence which is in c ompatible with the safe maintenance of European control. The charges of disloyalty have been denied by the secretary of the American board of forei.;n missions, who asserts that out of the thousands who participated in last year's uprising in Natal, ''our converts showed loyalty to the Gov emment by jeopardizingt their lives.'' : -I n l c : he r l s i ti1a I fitleen di rt th:aid possibly be inter Th'ie .iiati in Natal is tvical o the prowlin: hostility with which col (Mial administrators the world ove look upon the white missionary. H is unpopular throughout British Sout] Africa and in India, King Leopol< does not love him in the Congo, Ger many has had trouble with him ii Southwest Africa and the Cameroon and he has been described as a gener al nuisance in Ohina. And the rea son is everywhere the same. The na tive convert, "spoiled" by too libar al an interpretation of the Gospel am excessive humanitarian coddling, be comes restive, insubordinate and im bued with ambitions that are totall; at variance with political expediency Rev. James L. Barton 's reply that les than fifteen Christian converts too part in the Zulu insurrection may, fo instance, turn out to be a fairly dam aging admission, if it should be showi that these fifteen were among th prominent leaders of the revolt. Tha is oreciselv the grievance of the var ious colonial administrators, that th educational work of the missionarie serves to create a class of native lead ers who in turn act upon the mass o the population. Thus in Natal th Government insists that native pas tors be replaced by white clergymen or, in other words, that no African b allowed to attain a position of pro minence. However, we fail to see why th missionaries should think it necessar to assurhe an apologetic attitude i1 the matter. Rather their positioi should be the militant one. For the; must know that not only have the; been in large measure the pioneer who have built up colonial realms fo Europe, but are still a powerful in strument for the prosecution of tha civ,ilizing work which the militar commander and the trader would s greatly like to have out of the way. I is really an open question whethei for every native' uprising that mis sionary education can be made res ponsible for, you would not have , dozen uprisings if the missionary in fluente; were not present to act as restraint upon political 'and economii oppression on the part of the domin ant whites. Practically what, the Jingo Imnper ialist says to the mission worker il this: You may show the way to us b exploring and mapping virgin country as ILivingstone did ; you may compil4 native syllabaries and a'ceounts of na tive customs and modes of thought S< that we may communicate with then in the performance of our duties; yo1 may build hospitals, orphanages an< houses of refuge, and preach physica cleanliness and sanitation; you ma: occasionally offer a victim to th fury of the mob; you may even erec schools, if you will see to it that th knowledge imparted is in direct lin with the preordained subjection o: the colored man to thie white, and rais es no difficulties about such necessar: phenomena as hut taxes, forced labo and judicial floggings. Once you hay imbued the native mind with thes< fundamental ideas of Imperialis evolution, it were best if you stoo< quite aside and let us manage things We can imagine the extreme officia view as taking the form that the onl; good missionaries are dead mission aries. In that state they are wort] huge indemnities and entire Chines provinces. Alive, they are only in th way. From the days of Las Casas it ha been the province of the Christia1 minister among subject peoples t fight agaitist their unserupulous ex ploitation by foreign masters. Th role is difficult and unpopular, bu essential to the conception of the mis sionary 's office. Without it he woul< be~ defenceless against the charg that his advent has been only th heralding of a 'civilization'' tha has come unasked upon the native and come upon him for his enslave ment and destruction. With it th, missionary vindicates his position a one who seeks to introduce the bene fits of a higher civilization, whil' mitigating its evils. Missionaries ma: be called busybodies or disguised poli tical agents, or self-seek.ing, or anti patriotic. As a matter of fact, wed not believe that the American mis sionaries in Natal fomented seditioi among their converts, or that E. Il Morel draws a subsidy from the Brit ish Government, or that the Catholi< brethren in the Cameroons wanted ti make themselves aboslute masters o: the colony. On the other hand, wha the world has learned about Zulu tax ation, or the rule of King Rubber il the Congo. or the amiable practice o: German offiecials in cuting off th< limbs of insubordinate servants an< tying women to the trunks of tree: until death by starvation ensued, is o: distinct value.
