";.'.".! i, Tha Saturday Journal, of fSelma, , Ala., of the 19th, contained very In tereiung tory irjm, tne p"" Of George R." Taylor a son of Col. C. 8. i. a Tavlor. of this city. Taylor la a young negro of sense, as he, ahows by the stand ho has taken ( on ; the Brownsville affair, His comrminlca- a followa: , - ,.- f.;Ai"-M -times ... to give "my v vlewe ; of tho , Brownsville affair and the negro gol ' dler In general, I take pleasure In . presenting to the public-my view on tha matter. To begin with. I am, an T j i old soldier with twelve ;y year, , of , . service in the United States army, a corporal, sergeant ; and ; 1st sergeant ' In the Tenth Cavalry and corporal ' In mnnral .rnnrnitlnar' servlOe.. "taklnc part In the Indlart engagementa and also in the SDanrsh-Amertcan war, : , which places me In a position to know aomething about what.,! write. . ,in me nnn piaco, wneu ui ui diers of the Twenty-fifth v Infantry r! 'ahot Up Brownsville, they were ut . United States uniform la hot Issued " a rifle, pistol 'or sabre, nor ammunl tlon to , 'shoot up' Innocent citizens, but vice versa - (and la accordance with their oaths) to quiet such dls. turbanoea as were" committed by them,' and -only theh when ordered to do o by their superior officers. "It, Is an evident fact that the peo-; pie of Brownsville did not want the colored soldiers there, and I am posi tive said and did many things that was unbecoming the true, cltisen, but all of this was not enough to warrant the unmllltary, undisciplined out rage of the individuals who partici pated in the act. Now, tho Question arises, who was responsible ? I say that every enlisted man of the bat tallon la responsible for his being discharged. It would be a matter of Impossibility for twelve or fifteen men to secure their arms from locked arm barracks, proceed to ' town and 'shoot It up without some one having some knowledge of the guilty parties. It was clearly substantiated In my mind that the deed was committed by colored soldiers and ; no one else, and they certainly deserve severe punish ment Of course it is somewhat un fortunate for those who did not par tlnn. I U -JnJ V . . I. .... tiwiyaiu ill me vuc9iuu atui, uu uivjr were given every opportunity . to prove themselves Innocent, which they absolutely refused to do. Now, it seems a major portion of the colored race Is sore with President Roosevelt for the action that he iwa. in kiln mutual, uitj iiucniiuu m, what else could he have done? He did everything possible to find out the guilty parties without avail. He, as commander-in-chief, had to do something under the circumstances, and did all he could. "Some of the race, even' the news papers, claim that such would not have bean the case had it been white soldiers. This is ignorance upon the part of those who make such re marks. " Right hero I will state that there la no discrimination or prepu dice shown In the United States army." A man In the army Is Judged and promoted'accordlng to ability, regardless of race or color. I . have soldiered in garrisons with white troops for many years and have my first time to know anything of the loast bit of partiality being shown towards either whites or blacks. "I feel safe in saying that had It been white troops, with the same amount of criminality attached, the punishment would probably have been more severe, if anything, and I am sure that the action would have been dealt out with more rapidity. Another question which is receiving considerable condemnation from the colored rare Is the forwarding of the colored troops to the Philippine Is lands. Some seem to think that thin is done as a matter of punishment, which is absolutely false. "In the first place, regiments are detailed for the Islands by roster and It has been some, years since the colored troops have done foreign service, and It Is naturally their turn; again, the Filipinos have re quested that colored troops be stationed there, as they are the nearest akin to their race; then agalh, I feel safe In saying that there is not two colored men In a hundred who is not anxious to go to the Philippines, as their pay Is Increased JO per cent.; further, their time Is counted double; I. e., one day's service Is considered two, besides the climate is all that could be expected, and the colored soldiers get along better with the natives than with tho average citizen of the United States. Hence, it can readily be seen that the colored troops should be, and really are, glad of the opportunity to be detailed for foreign service. "In writing or this affair it brings to my mind an article published In The Birmingham Blade (which was a clipping from Th.o New York Age) which states that any colored man, who enlists in the service should be spurned by the race. Now. In replv to this, I will state that the United States army could got along more easily without the negro than the negro could get along without the army. In other words, the army would be Just as efficient and effective If the negro troops were discon tinued. Henco It should be con sidered that It is partially a favor that the government permits the four regiments to exist, and such remarks from editors of colored papers does mora to harm the welfare of the ne gro In blue than It does good. The army is the best place on earth for any. colored man who la eligible for 1 enlistment, and who serves It honest- ly and faithfully. But when soldiers, wnue or colored, ,' commit crimes themselves. H should bo exnected themselves, it shot lhat punishment Is s Olsclpllne Is out of TJ "In conclusion. I v. sure to follow,, or the question. Will Hist thai tha actual individual participants In the nrownsvu.e enair should consider ; . themselves lucky by receiving such light punishment for such grave and , disgraceful actions, and all colored i men who are suitable should hurry 'j to take, the places of those who have disgraced therw've and serve,-the ' army, faithfully, thereby helping to 5,ot.w il .tht.w?",g 0,n of their brotheri In black.

Jan. 25.- For some time there has been a persistent- rumor that Congressman W. W. Kltchln, of Roxboro,. who Is now -representing the fifth district for his sixth term In Congress, would be a candidate for Governor of North Carolina In the next campaign. To-night the con gressman, who Is here In connection with some litigation In the Superior Court, admitted as much, although he would not give an Interview at ths time. He was seen at the hotel by your correspondent, and asked point edly If he was to be a candidate for Governor in the next campaign. "I cannot deny that I intend being a candidate for Governor In the next campaign," he said, in reply to the question asked him. He added "But it Is entirely too far in advance of the election to begin a campaign at thia time." The rumors that Congressman Kltchtn would be a candidate for the nomination for Governor at the hands of the Democratic party in the next campaign have been In circulation for several months. While these rumors have been circulated. It le learned from some of his closest frlendsthat he did not fully make up hla mind In regard to the matter until since tha Christmas holidays. For six terms, twelve years In all, Kltchln haa been the nominee of his party in the fifth district for Congress and that without opposition, it is known that last year a great many of his friends Im portuned him to get ready and coma out as the candidate for Governor and as the campaign progressed these requests became more frequent and urgent. Then he began to consider tho matter and now comes the posi tive statement that he Intends to be a candidate and that he does hot know at this time anything that would prevent him from entering the race for the high office. Mr. Kltchtn will leave In the morn ing for his home In Roxboro and from there will return to Washington. THREE DURHAM FIRES.

The story of "Parsifal," which will be given its first production In Char lotte on Wednesday February , abounds In poetic beauty and fasci nating mysticism. Chiefly it is bas ed upon the legend of the search of the Holy Grail, that sacred chalice In which the blood of the Savior, as He was passing Into eternal life up on the cross, was said to have been caught. The Grail is supposed to have been committed to the care of Tlturel, a pure King of the Great Knights, who gathers about him many followers devoted to his ser vice. Kllngsfor.ia Knight of the neigh borhood, seeks admission to their company, but his life Is evil und they refuse him. . In rage he appeals to the devil 'who endows him with a knowledge of magic that enables him to create an enchanted' garden, peopled with beautiful flower-like maidens for the seduction of the Knights of the Grail. One after an other they fall victims of the temp tation of Kllngsfor'a sirens, till an fortas tiles to break tho enchant ment and goes out against Kllngnfor, armed with the sacred spear which pierced the Savior's side. But he too succumbs to the vo luptuous wlk'H of Kundry, a beauti ful woman over whom Kllngsfor has at times complete control. The spear Is taken fom An tortus and he la mortally, wounded t with- it. Kun dry Is alternately swayed i.by good and evil. Left to herself, she serves the Grail;' Influenced by Kllngsfor she compasses the destruction of the Grail Knights. After Anfortas has been wounded, the only medium that can heal the wound is a touch from the spear which made It and this spear Is in the possession of Kllngs for. It can be recovered from him only by a "guileless youth." who Is without sin. This youth Is Parsifal. He Is typical of Innocense and Ournn mans, one of tho knights, thinking he may be the "puro one" for whom they are searching, leads him to th.' castle of the Grail. He there taken the oath of Knighthood and swears to rescue the sacred spear "on nerll of his soul." Kllngsfor determines to evolve Parsifal's destruction and with thin end in view produces a maglo gar den, where Kundry Is . made to try her wiles upon him. Uhe falls abso lutely and In her wrath calls Kllngs for to her aid. Tho magician hurls the sacred spear at Parsifal, bbut It remains suspended abbove his head. He grasps the spear, makea the aim of the cross and the leaves and flow ers or the magic garden wither and fall, while Kundry disappears and Kllngsfor perishes. la the last act Parsifal appears as a wanderer. He meets Ournema.ni an the repentant Kundry, no longer under the Influence of evil now that the wlaard haa perished. He shows his love for her, but she sacrifices herself, and In an impressive Scene of renunciation sends Parsifal to his high destiny, and overcome with grief at the parting, dies as Parsifal 1 shown elevating the Holy Grail in the adoring presence of the Knights be neath the lofty dome of the Castle of the Orall.

Jan. 25. Fred i Marriott , while driving the cigar-shaped . steam racer at a rate of two miles a minute. In an ef fort to break the World mile record to-day, struck a ' slight ridge 1 ot hardened sand in the beach. The force of tha blow lifted the - front wheels of the racer from the beach; rendered the steerlns scar useless and' pitched the car, after a tearful leap throug space, on its side. Tne momentum of the car caused It to roll" over and over with the helpless driver pinned fast in the hood, un able to save himself. The ' frame work of the' car splintered to frag ments, the machinery-twisted out of all resemblance to anything and the boiler hurled fuly 50 yards down the beach. Fortunately the fuse 'plug blew out of the boiler and let the steam 'escape, this undoubtedly sav ing the Ufa of the helpless Marriott, who lay unconscious across the wreck of the front wheels, with the wreck age of his splendid racer plied about him. He waa. auicklv Dlcked ud by willing hands and carried to tho club) nouse, where a cursory examination of his Injuries was made. Rumors that his right eye was probably lost were quickly contradicted, and fur ther examination showed that no bones were broken, though the hair was. scraped from his scalp. The scalp, face, handa and arms were torn, .and Internal Injuries may de velop, though Marriott is believed to be out of danger now. At 3 o'clock - Marriott told his story of the accident, placing the blame on the fact that his car. srolnsr at such terrific speed, made the alrfht nna nage seem almost lmpaesabie. At 3:80 the injured man fell asleep. Mrs. Marriott was telegraphed! for Immediately after the accident.
