Cnband tbe Color Line. -
News and Observer.
During the war and prior
tbereto many stories were
nt nut from Cuba to tbe ef
fect that thfre was no color
line and that it was a com
mon eight in Cuba to see the
white people and negroes
mingle upon terms of perfect
social equality.
Since the American occupa
tion there seems to have
sprung up the same distinc
tions that obtain in America.
According to a Havana spec
tal to the New York Son. the
negroes object to separa
tion of the races. Tbe special
says;
"The negro element has
been complaining about be
ing left out in the cold in the
matter of the distribution of
public offices.
A commission
called-on President Palma
today and asked that no dis
tinction be made between the
two races. Tht question rais
ed by the' negroes is not that
individual members of their
race shall obtain places tin
der tbe government, but that
the lines of official demarca
tion do exist, such as the
fact that the artillery corps
is divided into two compa
nies of whites and one of
blacks. The committee re
called the day of the arriva
of President Palma when the
artillery was lined in front of
the palace and was divided
into white and black compa
nies, inevaiso recicen me
fact that the police rorce o
Havana would not receive
negroes.
The white Cubans as
rule would not welcome any
encouragement to to the ne
groes. They wou wr preier
such measures as would sat
Ba a
isfy the negroes without giv
ing them an opportunity to
get in power, JMegro power
is feared by many."
The Columbia State, whose
editor served in the American
army in Cuba during t h
Spanish American war, and
is familiar with conditioned
isting in Cuba, quotes the a
bove special and throws ligh
upon the conditions iu Cuba
in the following:
"Negroes, it wili be seen

who accompanied rroi, hod
ert T. Hill, Government Geol
ogibt, in his expedition, man
aged to approach within one
mile of Mount Pelee.
When Professor Hill turned
south, towards St. Pierre,
Mr. Kavanagh continued on
past Home Rouge. His route
seems to have been along or I
near the ('ale Brsse divide.
Mr. Kavanagh says he de-
scended from Mome Rouge
into the valley between that
place and Mount reiee. mi
valley wasdeeply strewn with
ashes.
Mr. Kavanaah sa vs he was
guided bj an aged negres to
where an old footpath once
ted to Lake Palmiste, near
the summit of the crater,
There an iron cross, twenty
feet high, was buried in ashes
to within a foot of its top.
before him stretched upward
the mountain slope covered
with ashes, which, soaked by
the heavy rains and baited
by the sun and volcano heat,
looked like a cement side-
walk. The whole mountain
top was shrouded in smoke.
Forgetful of the explosion
of the preyious night and the
awful suddenness of the out-
burste. and tempted by the
seemingly easy ascent, he con
tinued upward and made
photographs ana r o u g n
i
sketches. Mr. Kavanagh ol-
' i i
so found 1 he alley filled with
ashes, and two great rifts,
which he was afraid to ap -
proach. At 6 in the evening
he turned back, reaching
Morns Rouge at about 9 o'-
clock. He had made no new
observations and realized his
danger only the next morn-
ing, when occurred the great
est outburst sines Mount Pee
lee's first eruption.
On Wednesday Mr. Kayo-
nagh tried to descend to St.
Pieero but failed: He found a
little hamlet near tjie moun
tain black with 150 dead bod
ies. They were not carbon
ized nor had their clothes
been burned off. Probably
this valley lay near the inner
edge of the zone ol blasting

Tfce Good Ho.di Q,ortion
Editor Democrnt:
The articles on good roads
which you published some
weeks ngo gaye me great
pleasure.
Every citizen of this conn
ty ought to work for good
roads. We want to call atten
tion to some things which
the State of New York is do-
fog for good roads:
In 1898 the Legislature ap
proDriated 850,000 for the
improvement of the public
roads under a bill which pro
vides that if in any coinum
nity the town will nppropn
ate 15 percent, and thecoun
ty 35 per ceni : the State will
furnish aO oer cent, o tn
money for building nnd im
.-.j
nrovuur highways, in an
Lwer to the calls from rum
districts thej' have, under
this sh me law, appropriated
$600,000 for 1902. and this
is insufficient.
There is also an effort being
made to have the road tax
paid in money instead of col
Meeting it by "the pernicious
labor system." A bill provid
ing for wide tires was also in
troduced in the Legislature.
it may trulr be said that
the State of New Yord is
wealthy, but it has become
go by looking out for the in-
tercst of its citizens in this
manner. We can justas well
afford to spend money in im
i ...
nrovine onr public roads as
the people of New York. If
any one doubts it, let him
0ok at the recent 12 per
1 cent . dividend declared by
th Caldwell & Watauga turn
Dike Co. Every dollar wisely
invested on our public roads
wond pav us more interest
Uunn that. I belieye that it
understates the matter to
flay that it would double the
waije ot the reale&tateof Wa
tauga county to have
roads as the Boone & Blow-
jnK u0ck Turnpike substitn-
ted for the preseut "stony
paths."
If some man in this county
wants an office let him run
on the good ronds ticket.
I
am as far from being a poli
tiejan a8 it is possible to be,
but I would like to suggest
to our county conventions
the value of a good roads
plank in their platform.
Will not some one else say
a good word for good roads?
