Atlanta 8 "Jack the Ripper" claimed His nine teenth victim last night, when he lured Mary Kates, a comely eighteen-year old mulatto girl into an alley, cut her throat asid then mutilated her body about the breast and below the waist. The girl's body was found today. ' The murderer evidently had di?-:i robed her after cutting her throat. The clothing was neatly piled by the body, j The mutilation of the girl's body was evidently done with a surgical instru ment and the slayer had some anato mical knowledge. Mary Kates is the nineteenth yellow girl who has been murdered in Atlan ta in the last nine months. All the murders, the police say, have been committed by one person, who has come to be known a3 "Jack the Hip per." In every case the "ripper" cut the throat of his victim and then mu tilated the breast, and a part of \h? body below the waist. So far the po-j lice have been unable to discover a! clue to the murderer. The Negroes are in a state of terror and have offered large rewards. Tho detectives believe the murders are be ing committd by a mauiac who thinks he has been wronged by a yellow girl. In 110 case has the murderer killed a black woman, and in nearly every j case he has cut out aw^ carried away a portion of the body. The police are inclined to believe that the murderer hns studied surgery.

New Orleans, La., April 9.? Louisia na, the most rock-ribbed Democratic state of all southland --threatens to go Republican this fall. Missouri, the "mysterious stranger" of the famous Mc.Cutcheon cartoon iour^years ago, may ....ve company this year. This is the threat of newspapers, business hum, and planters, as the re venge of (he state upon democracy, ff the Democratic party succeeds in fls efforts to put sugar on the free list. The most warlike language is to be heard from the newspapers and men of prominence who have always in the past been regarded as the men who would be Democrats to their graves, but who now fear, in the threat of free sugar, the annihilation of the state's1 most cherished industry. If the worth ever thought the south "slow" the Yankees would have their eyes opened by the activity of the campaign against free sugar now in full swing. The southerners are sure of their own state's delegation, but their efforts are now being directed toward co-operation with the best su gar manufacturers of the north and west. Quietly their campaign has been launched, until it is mow in full swing, on the chain letter basis. Eve ry southerner who has a friend or i business correspondent in the west and north, has written asking that friend to write to his congressman, especially if that, congressman voted tor free sugar in the house, to protest against the removal of the duty. Each friend is also asked to pass the word along to all his friends, with the aim of so bombarding the lawmakers with the evidence of sentiment against free sugar, that when the bill comes back to the house from the senate, which is expected to refuse to pass, the meas ure the lower house will see the light and reverse its former action. The New Orleans Item, a staunch old Democratic organ, is the leader in the voicing of the threat of the state to go Republican, and break the solid south, if the Democrats pass the free sugar bill. The Picayune, a newspaper famous in the days before the. Civil War, . and now one of the leading publications in the south, gives prominence to a state ment by Charles A. Farwell, presi dent of the American Cane Growers' Association, when he says: "I say. frankly that I believe the time is ripe tor Louisiana to send republicans to Congress." "The appeal to Louisiana to the bert sugar states of the north," con tinues Mr. Farwell, "is because we be lieve this is the time to demonstrate that (Tie states of flie south and the states of the north arc one in inter ests, and old sectional lines should be forgotten. Jxmisiana has about $100, 000,000 invested in the sugar indus try. Seventeen northern 'states have the same amount invested in beet su gar factories, but the interest of the northern states should be even mero strongly against free sugar because the beet sugar factories of the north spend $100,000,000 a year in buying beets of the farmers, and these north ern factories, like those of our own state, spend many millions every year in wages to employes. ' "If the sugar trust wins its fight to eliminate the competition of the beet sugar industry, the Louisiana fane sugar industry will fall with the ? industry in the north. With the trust controlling the industry, by its mon opoly, achieved through free sugar, can any one suppose that the public will be the gainer by the cutting of the tariff. The interests which now are fighting for free sugar, won 'their fight for free coffee, and coffee since the day the duty was removed has never been so cheap in price." - ophiiation was si c< icssrrr,.

MPrim^rily, let me say," said Mr. Villard. u^that in no field of the Southern?* educational work is there greater tpe&d of co-operation and su pervision. and control as in this par ticular One. . No one knows how many schools for Negroes there are. Dr. DillArd of the Jeanes Rural school Bf\ind Board, has listed about 1&0 Negrp schools and colleges, but there a'|? many others, some, no doubt, worthless; others are placed where tree re is no pressing need for them ; -.-alfll oth3?s have made only pitifully Ineffective beginnings where the neceSjflHty for them is tremendous some arai simple frauds upon the publitt; 0i^ier3 exist only on paper and mhke 4 handsome living for can vassers who play upon the beneficer aries of the North.

Finally there was organ ized three years ago, and is now in process of careful organization, an ambitious society, the National As sociation for the Advancement, of Col ored People, which has determined if 110 one else enters the field, It will beg for means to do this great work just as soon a it had demontrated its efficiency and work to the general public. -we neea. tne nest Drams . tnat the colored people possess In thin work, stimulated by the best, train i ingr-to assume the. proper pleader ship for the little struggling heart breaking factories for the turning out of honorable American citizens of swarthy skins. "FMnally, let me impress upon you, particularly you, my friends of the South, that for evpry dollar invested in one of those schools you will with draw thousands. The Negro is the South's greatest asset. Not its riv ers, nor its water power, nor its nat ural resources compare with the worth to it ot its colored people, wnhout w+mscr TTTVftnggtng labor King Cotton, still the cornerstone of Sou thern prosperity, would topple from his throne. "It is not placing it on the high cat ground to point out to you that the new science of scientific man agement alone -UctAte the compul sory education of every Negro as of every white child. That policy is folly under which in Wilcox county, Alabama, there was expended in 1910 but $3,339.70 for tlm education of 10.75X Negro children, while $30, 012. 7"? was spent for whit-,? children and but 3 2 cents a head (or colored children.
