Th par bor stops -together, with as much inland touring as roads permitted to credit rather the spirit of Africa than Voodoolsm or any other cult with the strange history of the Is land. In no other place outside the Interior of Africa itself were ever assembled so many blacks torn from tha Gold Coast, the Congo or other regions of the Dark Continent ac cesslble to slave traders.

Cruelties practiced upon the original Carlb Indian population had all but ex tingulshed the half million abori gines which Columbus-described as marveling at the first Spanish con querors. When France succeeded to jurisdiction of Haiti, the black slave was sought to develope vast sugar tracts and an abundance ot indigo, logwood, citrous and other products which seem to spring from the soil. The African survived even the most cruel treatment' He survived because he could dream dreams. He survived because his jungle drums could communicate from village to village from slave estate -to slave dungeon. Moreover lnpenetrable mountain fastnesses and steaming jungle areas gave him refuge If he succeeded in escaping his masters.

All of which led to plots and plans and eventual sue cess In all but exterminating his French overlords. Haiti was to be come the first all-Negro govern. ment to be recognized by overseas powers. CANS Soucf, still splendid in Its ruins, invariably lures the ven turer into Haiti fortunate enough to reach Cape Haitian, the former capital of the Black Republic. it was the dream of another African who heard the drums at night.

Born a slave boy In Granada, Henri Christophe had been brought to iiaiti. ur nig lire unt 1 the Reva lution came with Dessallnes, another DiacK as us chief early figure, noming is recorded. Five years after Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of the French, Dessallnes, attracting slaves by thousands the hills had driven out the French from Haiti and proclaimed himself the first negro Emperor. His reign was short, full of lust and marked by butcheries of whites appalling aa history runs, that of all Le Clerc's veterans and of French planters they had come to protect scarcely a handful remained. Then came Christophe who scorned the title of Emperor and chose that of King instead.

He it was who creat. ed an African nobility. Through his dull mind had brooded for years the wrongs of his people, i Coming to power after Dessallnes bad been butchered by his. own wrnnirnd Haitians, he would show the world, and particularly the hated French, that an African could hA Kna Indeed!

HUTSON A prolonged Illness of complica tions ended in the death ot William Hutson, 72, a native of Roaring Brook, yesterday afternoon at hi horns In Dallas. Deceased was horn at Roaring Brook, February 19, 1862, and moyed to Dallas at an early age.

Ha had a legion of friends in the eommunity. Mr. Hutson was an active member of Dallas Methodist Episcopal Church for many years and was a member of the official board of the church at the time of his demise. Surviving is a niece, Miss Bertha Hutson of Dallas. The funeral will be held on afternoon at 2 from the home of Mary Hutson, 72 Franklin street; Dallas.

Services will be held at the real dence wlUuRev. J. Rolland Cromp ton, pastor of Trucksvllle Methodist officiating. -Burial will be in the family plot Wardan Ceme tery. 4 I.

R0LLIN MURRAY The funeral of RolUn Murray, 46 son of the late John D. Murray of North Wllkes-Barre, and who died on Monday night In Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, will be held on Thursday morning from th late home at Athens. Services will be CUT few whites ever saw Bans fioucl In Its days of regal splendor. What few whites remained at that period were not permitted by edict to travel more than three miles from the coast, hence the palace was beyond their reach. Yet the king insisted that his two daughters, Princesses Royal should have white governernesses, and two spinsters from Philadelphia were brought to the palace In that capacity.

They left meager record of th ceremonies there. Christophe, who could neither read nor write. thought much of culture barred the slave. His secretary, a mulatto who had been educated in Franc and a Duke by title, has left behind for th visitor today fragments of what went on. Christophe built also, th utaaei iar up in the mountains as a refuge for his dynasty it th French should com again with a larger fleet than LeClero had brought Napoleon's veterans or with which Rochambeau had later brought more French soldiers to die of fever and the constant guerrilla warfare which wora them down.

No feat of other African Ptolemies in Egypt in building the pyramids outrivaled the construe tion of this citadel whose ruins now bare themselves to the tropical moonlight. DUT Christophe, Sans Souci and the Citadel have passed into memory. There were to come other blacks as rulers of a turbulent Island, but none ranked with him in expression of his dreams. Rebels againsi ins regime grew strong in tne south as his nobility of the north grew soft by ease and power. Finally the drums sounded again echoing from hilltop to hilltop.

The drum beats told that the superman or tneir race had fallen prostrate ai a cnurcn ceremony. He could no longer command in war nor demand the labor of thousands to finish the Citadel nor carry out his areams oi power. His faithful secretary has left some record of the last of his regime, Dressed in regal robes, he commanded trT be left alone In his paralytic condition. xnen came the report of a pistol for which silver bullet had been made. In a hammock those who re mained faithful carried his heavy body up the mountain to his Citadel built against the coming of the rencn.

a dream of Africa had swept to ruin. Those to whom had come memories and traditions of whisperings of gods, (hose who are aroused by night to share strange ceremonies by the drum beat which sears itself into the brain, were not ready nor fit to rule their own. Two centuries of slaveny, of the lash, -of dreaming by night and then in dependence were not yet capable of self government. Christophe ruled a realm of his own creation a full century ago. He did not solve the mystery of the drums.

Nor has any othert white, black or mixed as oiooa courses through the veins of strange, people, solved that mystery. Haiti, with its mountains, its two million inhabitants who toil for their existence toda? and dream their dreams by the pounds of drum beats by has not es yet solved its own destiny.

Otherwise no visitor and Indeed but few whites who have spent many years on the Island could grasp ihe exotic spirit of the two millions Africans who eke out an often pitiful existence here. By day the native black leads one form of life in his occupation, hum ble as it usually Is. By night under th stars he may lead another.

To tha whit trait of dual existence has always been an enigma. Even our Marines made no attempt to go oenina tne curtain as to how or why tha laborers they employed in various capacities could perform their tasks day by day and. then wnen tha drums called, could dance until dawn of the next The literature of Haiti Is not extensive. Moreover It usually is not set down in book form owing to the expense of publication and the few able to buy books. To some of the writings of Os.

wald Durant the African Walt Whitman, and Devleux, a native interpreter in prose of his own people, the writer has had access. The latter in particular has set forth some of the yearnings of his native Haitians as intelligently as Paul Robson has interpreted some of the music of his own African ancestors. CROM Devleux one may grasp the 1 Spirit Of Haiti and ratrh nm. of the inspiration which stirred Dessallnes, Chriatophe, L' Overture and other blacks to deeds of almost incredible valor in winning Haitian independence. Below are quoted some passages from one of his manuscript efforts: There cornea in knm, mh.n Africa which sleeps la each one of us awakens, inspiring us with mad ideas, producing in us sudden voids which nothing can fill.

Then it is that we remember the somrs aongs or Diooay and idolotrous Africa. We remember in the silence of starry The drums mourn then, with that heavy moan which is the translation of an orpnaned people; brutally torn from the cradle of their race, to populate lands where the aborigines had died, crushed and exterminated by the cruelty of the labor imnopH upon them." 'It is necessary, for namni continued Devleux," for the negroes of Haiti to think often of old Africa, Of the land Of their hlrth their ancestors had grown up in the communion the waters.

So were the veterans. They- are too old and not strong enough for the jobs. Organizations ln various towns announced they would put forth an effort to see that veterans would be given consideration for C. jobs but nothing has materialized along this line. Further you state that the veter ans are always given the preference to the single men, who are strong and healthy.

The politicians probably say that but the veterans get no such preference. Just because you are 'Strong and healthy you must think' you could wipe ail the weak ones off the earth.
