SOUT IS VILFIED BY WOMAN Says Labor Conditions Here are Worse than Slavery, and that we are Traying to Dupe Innocent Foreigners to this Part of the Country to - Hold them in Servitude. Washinton. October 31.-Declar 'in that all througli the Southern States ne.-roes -by the hundreds are held slaves in stockades. t;at peonage is a comnon oecuirrence., and that the whole scheme of immigration is plan ned to dupe aisuspecting foreigners and to get them inito the cotton fields and tit mills of the south, where they will be held in servitude. Miss Mary Qua h a ei! attorney of the .:tient ;' justice. has filed -with the departnerm a sene:tinna! re port. after haoing , 1ni an alleged investization oL loholr conditions in the south. Some time ago .\Torney General Bo;naparte de';dedf :ba : !!. wonBd be a ;good idea to selli A w1oman fnv.esti gator thronzh the s-ith io make a personal inspeciion of labor condi tions. Miss Q k was '-hosen, .and atter sper.din- ti or three =nonths in North and Soa ih Carolina. Ailabama and Mississipp she has :-ade her report. She has filed with the department o justiv what she -ealls an aibundance of evidence tend ing to prove that laibor eonditions in the south are intolerable and wor,se, if possible., than ihey wer" at the time nezroes were freed. It is understood that Miss Quack enboss is very pessimistie as to the success of the mdvelni hat has been started to divt imniiraion in that direction. This view is based upon the 'fact that as aiyed ini,rz'ants 'have been alarr th'om1Xh learning about peonaze iasv i.losed in the 'south, aliens and egroes in several instances haoiel. t s Oeiared, been captured on.variotus pre-exts and held in stockades in a eonditioi 1ordering on aosolute slavery>. Another obstacle to iinmig-ration to the south, she says, is the w,a_t-s paid to laborers. and mechanies th 'e. It is reported that w'r's ir ie north are from 40 to 75 ner 'iit hin' r. .nd that unless t0ere is a k':a'r_e in 'the attitude of southern employ'ers both in the waes paid and in the treatment of aliens, it will be diffi cult to induce immigrants to gzo to the Southern States. 'The general question oft immigra ~tion is touched upon in passing by MIiss Quackenboss, who devotes the Inajcr portion of.her report to a dis eussion of peonage cases in the Caro 3inas, Ala$bama and Mississi,ppi. It is -understood that she advises the Attor 'ney 'General that conditions are bad ~in several localities, notably in the Sunnyside colony in Mississippi which 'was established for Italians. 'S'he reports that it is nothing more or less than a large -plantation, and that the Italians who liv'e there are very much dissatisfied with their env'ironment, While Miss Quia ekemboss declined to talk about her visit to the south, and the officials likewise refused to discuss her re,eort. there is reason to believe that she has made a report that is startling in many partieulars. Why the department of justice 'should have chosen a woman to make these investigations is not yet dis .closed. The report is undou.b tedly badly .colored. P. H. McG. -One Frightened Depositor. New York Herald. 'The day1 in Wall street was not without its humorous incidents. One of the customers of a brokenage of f1ee akes his vacation at' this time -of the year-and assumes that it is nec essary when on vacation, which he! 'spends in Canada, to ignore the news papers and forget all albout busi-1 ness and the rest of the world ;rener ally. H-e maintained this g'ood resolu tion on this vacation, and he arrived at 'his broker's office today without an inkling of what was going on. The frrst thing he was told of was the suspension of a number of financial institutions a.id the r'un on the Trust Company of America. He carries a beavy deposit in one of the minor trust companies, and he immediately took fright, dashed out of the offiee, expecting to station himself in line i2 front of this trust company, and, if the institution had not already elosed, draw out his money. He rush ed into the trust company offices, which were as quiet as a g'raveyard at -midnight, and the first man he met was one of the officers. He was too 'surprised to explain his haste, and too ash'amed to withdraw his money. He wound up by making a deposit of a, eheek for $1,200, which he had re ceived just before he left Canada for this city.__________ It's evier to "'worry about wvhat we 'haven't thn it is to be con,ten with ivhat 'we have.

Will Endeavor to Buy Site of Star Fort to Preserve Revolutionary History. GreeAoodl. Nov. 1.-The members ihe Star Fort chapter. Daughters of the Revolution, here have inaigni rated a most patriotic and commen1 able move. The site of the old Slar Fort, embraced in a tract of laid com prising 17 acres, is to be sold here Monday, Nov. 4. The sale is that of the lands of the estate of the late E. S. Addison. The ladies want to buy the site of the old fort to preserve it and in time restore it to its original shape and form. They have no need for the 17 acres and if they succeed in purchasi:ng the parcel of land, they will sell 14 1-2 acres, retaining two and a half arres. They will need help, but it is certain that there are a suf ficient num'ber of patriotic and chival rous men here to aid them in so wort.hy a cause. This is one of the notaible historie spots in the state and should be preserved for the future. 3 BEST BY TEST or TIME-Par oid, Asphalt Gravel and Asbestos Spark proofroofing.
