Condition of Slavery THROUGH PEONAGE LAWS IS SAID TO EXIST IN SOUTH-ERN STATES. And High Tribunal Will be Asked to Abolish Laws Which Make it Possible for Whites to Keep Negroes in their Employ Indefinitely. Washington, October 16—Belleving that hundreds of Southern Negroes are being deprived of their liberty by big planters, under forms of law, the Federal Government will endeavor this week to induce the Supreme Court of the United States to strike a telling blow at the alleged evil. It will ask the court to declare unconstitutional the so-called Alabama "labor contract" law. Similar laws have been passed by several of the Southern States, and the decision is expected to apply to them all. The treatment of Negro farmhands under this law is interpreted by the Department of Justice as a reduction of these laborers to a state of peonage. Compulsory service in satisfaction of debt is taken by Attorney General Wickersham as the object to be accomplished by the legislation. The state of Alabama will appear in court to defend its enactment. It is clamed by Attorney General Garber, of that State, that the law in question is not almed at the Negro as a class, and, anyway, that this is a proper exercise of the police power of the State to stop fraudulent practices from, which the South has suffered severely. The case comes to the court on the appeal of a Negro, Alonzo Bailey, from the decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama, which held the law constitutional and punished Bailey for violating it by assessing a due equivalent to 126 days hard labor for the county. The Case in Detail. Bailey entered into a written contract to work as a farm hand for the Riverside Company during the year 1908 for the sum of $12 per month the contract reciting that Bailey had received $15 in advance and was to receive the balance due him at the rate of $10.75 per month. He worked a month and a few days, and then quit, it is claimed, without just cause. He had failed, the record alleges, to refund the money advanced him. The negro was arrested under the "labor contract law." This law provides that in contracts of service, entered into by a laborer with intent to defraud, where money was advanced, the contract broken without just cause and the money not refunded, the laborer should be guilty of a misdemeanor. An amendment to the law in 1903 provided that failure to perform the service and to refund the money should be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud. Attorneys for Bailey and the Attorney Generals of the State and the Federal Government have filed briefs with the Supreme Court in the case And Disfranchisement will be the Negro's Portion if the Democrats are Elected. In his paper: The Weekly Courier, George Byrne to whom above all the credit should be given for the insertion of the Jim crow car and disfranchisement planks in the platform of the State Democratic convention assembled here two years ago, says. I see there are a number of Negro clubs in this city, organized for the purpose of helping to elect the democratic county ticket. I am glad to see this, for I believe the success of that ticket is vital to the interest of the community. It shows that the colored people are alive to these interests, and willing to help forward them. It shows that they have come to see the truth with respect to the matter of disfranchising those members of their own race who are not fitted for the exercise of the franchise, for they know, of course, that the democratic candidates for the legislature will vote for a disfranchising amendment, if elected. They are pledged to do this by the democratic platform, and impelled as well, no doubt, by their personal predilections. I believe the future good of the colored race will be best served by taking the franchise away from the members of that race at present, and making its return a matter for the citizens of the future to deal with. The organization of these Negro clubs means to me that the Negroes themselves see this matter in the proper light, and are acting accordingly. The Democratic candidates are also in favor of a separate coach law, and will no doubt give their support to such a measure, if they shall be elected, which now seems assured for with the Negro votes taken away from it the republican party in Kanawha county will be absolutely helpless. Thus do all things work together for good to them that serve the Lord. And the democratic party has been faithful in the service. VOLUME X. The Case in Detail. in advance of the oral argument expected this week. Wickersham's Argument. Attorney General Wickersham lays stress particularly upon the argument that the natural and reasonable effect of the statute was not to stop fraudulent practices, but to impose commissary services on Negroes who made up the bulk of farm labor in the state, in satisfaction of debt. "If the statute is a bona fide attempt to punish fraud," the Government asks, "Why limit it to the case where the debtor fails to perform the service or return the advanced? What would be said of a statute which, while purporting to prevent theft proided, that there should be no offense if the property were returned? In reply Attorney General Garber and his associate argue that on the face of the statute the clerk in the store is as much within the terms as the farm laborer, and that there is not discrimination in the statute as to race or color. "Indeed, the only possible field of operation of this suggestion, reads the state's brief, would be to engender a prejudice against the statute." Probably the argument chiefly relied upon to defeat the statute is the one that the rules of evidence adopted by the statute under the law of Alabama, work to condemn the accused without a hearing. The Government contends that the 'axiomatic and elementary principle' of presumption of innocence in a criminal procedure is supplanted by the statute by a presumption of guilt. In answer the state says that Bailey has no right to complain because he never took the stand to rebut the presumption of his fraudulent intention. The Government, in turn replies that the laws of Alabama closed his mouth by declaring that he could not testify as to his uncommunicated intent. It is expected that the oral arguments will be based on these contentions. The case will be presented to the Court probably on Wednes- AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

HENRY ADAMS - 10 Brownsville Will Not Down Mr. Allen is president of the Newport Business League. The career of Amos Scott of Philadelphia, a practical business man and successful politician reads like a romance. Thirty-one years ago he landed in the City of Brotherly Love, with only thirty-five cents in his pocket. Today he is almost at the top of the business ladder. While as a politician, Mr. Scott hasn't a superior in that city, which is famous of all grades of gentlemen of that special calling, he furthermore keeps an eye windward towards business. The building, corner 12th and Pine streets purchased by him four years ago and now known as Hotel Scott, is a splendid four story modern structure. It is one of the leading hotels in the city. He sides being interested in many other enterprises, Mr. Scott is chairman of the board of directors and the largest individual stockholder in the Protus Brewing Company. He owns $20,000 worth of shares in that concern. 'All the other stockholders are white. Mr. Scott resides at 1413 South Eighth street with his wife and three daughters in a palatial home, where the "latchstring" is always on the outside to his many friends. The colored people of Washington, N. C., have always enjoyed the name of being among the thrifty and prosperous of our people in the state. A few of those who are succeeding in business and professions are the following:—W. G. Saundera does a $6,000 insurance business annually for the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, Durham, N. C. W. C. Massey, $5,000 in the grocery line; M. E.

Good Enrollment --- Marks the Opening and Future of the Institution is Assured Since Former Governor Glenn and Judge Pritchard will Tour in its Interests. (By Geo, F. King.) Durham, N. C., Oct. 15—The realization of Dr. Jas. E. Shepard's plans was evidenced last Tuesday night in one of the most auspicious meetings ever held in this city in the interest of education for the Negro. The enthusiasm of the large and cultured audience that filled the auditorium of St. Joseph's A. M. E. church, being imbued with the spirit of the occasion, registered the fact that the institution, of which Dr. Shepard is founder and president, is a potent factor in the development of the race. The presence of Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, president of the advisory board of the school; Mrs. Emma Erskine Hahn, president of the Woman's Town and Country club, of New York; Rev. Jasper C. Massee, of Chattanooga, Tenn., one of the leading divines of the south; Mr. Brodie L. Duke, the "Tobacco King"; Rev. Dr. Shannon, of Newark, N. J.; Rev Dr. Leggett, of Ohio; Dr. Jas. B. Dudley, president of the State A. and M. College for Negroes, Greensboro, N. C., and other noted personages created an atmosphere that gave encouragement to all present. President Shepard in introducing Judge Pritchard, said: "There must be safety valves for a progressive civilization, and these valves are institutions of the kind for which this meeting is being held." With his personality and mellifluous voice he created reserved enthusiasm especially when he exclaimed; "The man who is a friend of the Negro who is trying to rise is Judge Jeter C. Pritchard who will preside over this meeting." When Judge Pritchard began to speak he was given an ovation. After speaking of the stupendous undertaking of Dr. Shepard and the splendid school he has given his race he said: "The ability of any government upon the face of the earth depends upon the moral and intellectual pends upon the moral and intellectual development of its people." Speaking of the exigencies requiring movements of importance similar to the National Religious Training School for Negroes, in Durham, he in part said: "This is one of the most important institutions ever organized for the uplift of the Negro." As an evidence of what the Negro can accomplish in North Carolina, the progressive Negroes in Durham he held as a concrete example and said: "The Negro who will accept the opportunity to become a desir- able citizen will find North Carolina the state with virgin opportunities for him." "The colored man who respects himself is esteemed by the white people of the state." Dr. J. Masse was then introduced by Judge Pritchard. Under the caption "The By-Products of Christianity" he delivered an address that was significant because of the many frank statements made by him "Politics is a dirty game", was among the many strong utterances made by this gifted speaker. Referring to the recent upheaval in the political realm of his state he exclaimed "The corrupt politicians of Tennessee have been buried out of sight by 50,000 clean voters." "He said that he was going to vote for the Republican nominee for governor who is a Baptist minister." His abhorrence for Andrew Carnegie was expressed in the following words: "No man in this generation has done greater harm to Christian education than Andrew Carnegie. Religious institutions have changed their charters in order to meet the whims of this man." "I believe that this institution is one of the moral by-products of Jesus Christ, and Dr. Shepard need make no apology for making the school a religious institution." Mrs. E. E. Hahn, who is a grandfather of Lord Erskine, of England, famed as one of the greatest men in English history, was introduced to her Negro audience. The music by the gifted singers had evidently inspired her as she made an exceptional comment about the singers. She possesses a rich vocabulary and has the ability to hold her audience. She eulogized Dr. Shepard and said that he and Dr. Washington are examples of the class leaders that the Negro most needed. Brodie L. Duke who had given the school $3,000 made a short talk and inspired his audience. Wednesday morning in the chapel of the school the student, body, faculty and leading citizens were addressed by Judge Pritchard, Mrs. Hahn, Dr. Masssee, president Dudley, Brodie L. Duke, Hon N. B. Broughton, Col. Jas. H. Young, Prof. S. G. Atkins and others. The school opened with an excellent enrollment. The picturesque grounds large buildings and able corps of teachers from the best schools in the country make this institution, although young, among the best in the country. The advisory board met and the plans presented by Dr. Shepard were favorably acted upon. Ex-Governor Glenn has expressed his willingness to tour the north with Judge Pritchard in interest of the school. By Negro Lawyer Who Seeks to Have His Case Reheard by the Supreme Court.

NEGRO PLANKS IN THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1908. The Republican party wrote into organic law the declaration that proclaimed the Negro's civil and political rights, and to-day their remarkable development in every field of endeavor has earned the respect of the State and Nation. We therefore, guarantee to the colored citizens of our State a continuance of full and free enjoyment of citizenship under the Constitution. ANTI-NEGRO PLANKS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1908. We favor the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers. Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the matience of good government was a mistake, if not a crime, committed by the Republican party, during the reign of passion and prejudice following the Civil War, for political ends and purposes, we declare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the Constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot, and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such power and privilege upon those who are unfit to appreciate its importance, as it affects the stability and preservation of good government. a Negro who was compelled to ride in a "jim crow" part of the way from Washington to Lexington, Ky., has appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States for what he believes are his rights. He argues that his rights as an interstate passenger were infringed. Last term the Court decided against Childs. This fall he has come into Court asking for a rehearing despite the rule that a motion for a rehearing cannot be entertained in any form except that in which the case was decided. Childs is conducting his own case. He cited the Justice in a brief to Leviticus, xxiv., 22, to convince them that they should "Have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country;" to Deuteronomy l., 17, to carry home his point, that "Ye shall not respect persons in, judgment, but ye shall hear the small as the great," and to Isiah v., 16, that the Court may keep in mind, "Thus saith the Lord, keep ye judgment and do justice." Prof. Kealing at Head of Quindaro Elected to Succeed Vernon Who Gave up Presidency for Registership of Treasury and has now Lost That. Quindaro, Kan., Oct. 13—Prof. H. T. Kealing, who has been editor of the A. M. E. Church Review for the past 14 years, has been elected president of the Western University. The position will pay $2,500 a year, with a home thrown in. Prof. Kealing is one of the best educated men In the country, and for a number of years taught school in Texas, where he served as head of Paul Quinn College and other schools. He will continue without pay as editor of the Review until the next session of the A. M. E. General Conference. He will succeed W. T. Vernon, who is also to shortly retire as register of the treasury. Mr. Vernon has filled the position for a number of years, and was re-elected head of the school last July, but he gave out an interview at that time denying that he was going to resume the duties of president. "Bob" Cole in Insane Asylum Popular Member of the Cole and Johnson Team Succumbs to Over-Work and is Confined in Bellevue. New York, Oct. 13—Robert A. Cole, of the famous vaudeville and song composing team of Cole and Johnson, is in the insane ward of Bellevue Hospital. He was sent there Tuesday after creating a big disturbance on the street. Cole and Johnson re-entered vaudeville a little over a week ago, and had received a most hearty welcome at Keith and Proctor's Fifth Ave. Theatre. Overwork is thought to be the cause of his losing his mental balance. George W. Walker, of the old team of Williams and Walker, also lost his reason some time ago and is now in a sanitarium. Separation of Children OF DIFFERENCES IN PUBLICATIONS IS FED. Interior images Department of Archives History CHARLESTON, W. VA. And Forgetfulness of Their Racial Relations Are Said to be Promoted by Housing of White and Colored Dependent Children Together. Newark, O., Oct. 15—At tonight's session of the State Conference of Charities and Corrections the children of Ohio received the entire attention of the delegates. Three excellent addresses were given. "The independent Colored Child", by Rev. R. A. Longman, Supervisor of the Children's Home, of Cincinnati: "The Child Labor Question in Ohio and Neighboring States," by E. N. Clapper, of Cincinnati, Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, and "The Delinquent Parent," by Samuel J. Black, Juvenile Judge, of Columbus. Mr. Longman in the course of his address, declared it was a mistake on the part of the state authorities to permit the housing of dependent white and colored children in public or private institutions. As a result of his observations, including 38 public and semipublic institutions, caring exclusively for children, he finds that the Superintendents of all but four are heartily in favor of the segregating of the two races, claiming that where the whites and blacks mix in childhood it is nothing unusual for them to associate with persons not of their own color and afterward marry outside of their own people. "It is wrong," he declared, "for a colored child to grow up with white children and afterward be compelled to go back to its own people. In state institutions in Ohio there are 1,973 children, 155 of whom are black. Of these 71 are of neither race. All but four of the Superintendents favor a separate institution for the colored children. Let the state of Ohio do her duty toward the dependent colored child. Let us make sure that he becomes a good mechanic or a proficient tradesman, and, above all, a wise home builder. He will then be proud of his race and satisfied with his lot, and consequently a useful citizen. Our public welfare demands that the Negro race live in better houses and have better sanitary surroundings. WEST INDIANS: As Servants in Apartment Houses Will Soon Lose their Sway. New York, Oct. 19.—The reign of colored men from the West Indies as servants in apartment houses will shortly cease and their places will be taken by colored men born in this country. The West Indian is said to be regarded by many whites as too unobliging as well as too treacherous for further employment, hence the change.

The word was sent among the faithful that. after a consultation with their Ne gro henchmen, who had the political sagacity if not the race pride to oppose discrimination, the committee having the meeting in charge would not segregate the pe-- sons of color who might be present.

CAUSES OF HIGH PRICES. ; The Democrats are making much jot me high cost of living and are [erating the Republican party and |the new tariff for high prices. Springes to catch woodcocks.” The Select Committee on Wages and Prices of Commodities reports that the tariff seems to have been no material factor in causing the ad- vance in prices during the past de cade. and, among the many causes of the advance, enumerates: High er land values and higher wages, in- Jereased demand for farm products [and food, shifting of population from food-producing to food-consuming occupations and localities, reduced fertility of land; increased banking facilities im argicultural — locaTties, ea enable farmers to hold: their crops and market to the best ad- vantage; reduced supply of timber, cold storage plants, the pure -food- law, increased cost of distribition, Jindustrial combinations (labor un- ions), organizations of producers or Acalets, ad xersisiné-ingrapuddwmeney supply. over capitalization and high- ler standard of living If these high prices were confined to the United States there would still remain grounds for attributing them to the new tariff, but the ad- vance has been found to be world- wide. The Department of Labor of [esnaaa reports an advance in prices and the cost of living as the most important feature of the economic situation there. In the United King. dom there has been a marked in- crease in the price of all commodit- ies, Our consul-xeneral at Vienna reports on influences which — have led to a generai rise in the cost of living in Austria, and from consular sources in Germany tables have been |submitted showing the steady ad. |unnee al the pou af living in tat leountry. ‘The Republican party and the new tari! are no more responsible for the inerease in the cost of living here than they are for the increase abroad. ‘This the Democrats. know, It The Democrats Win a m oi ut they would as readily say the party In“power ts responsible for tue @routh if they thought any — votes gould be gained by such a state ment. JOUN W. SPRAUTHER John W. Strauther, of Greenville, Miss., has gone to that !!undiscov- ered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." This intelligence means nothing to the ‘great majority of the readers of ‘The Advocate. To them it simply means that a man has Hved his,.al-: lotted span and his soul has returmed to the God that gave it. But to thpee ‘who take note of factors for race “ap: life wherever located, the passing of Mr. Strauther means a distinct toss not only to the community in whieh he labored long and well, but also to the Negro people in America for whom he was a bright example of sobiiety, progressiveness, integrity and thrift. A man of few words, he exerted great influence on the forward move- ment of his people in Mississippi and that influence was also felt through- out the nation through his leadership of the Order of Calanthe, the woman's auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias. In the execution of the duties of hy office. just as in his private affairs he exhibited rare common sense, tact and gbility. He was of that type of which the race has too few and his death leaves a void which Will not be easily Aled. A Jittle over two years ago Si- preme Chancellor Starks of the Knights of Pythias died and was sue- ceeded by Supreme Vice Chancellor S. W. Green, who appointed Mr. Strauther to fill the position made vacant by his own elevation. “Again the parting sail we see, Another boat has left the shore; A kinder soul on board has she Than ever left the shore before; And as her outward course she bewds. Sit closer, friends.” TRUST THERM NOT. “A Democratic County Commis- sioner can do you no harm” is elatement so often used to convince the ignorant Negro that he does nat Brawley that The Advorate is con- strained to sound a warning. It is very true that one Democratic commissioner will be powerless to harm the Negro, ‘but suppose the Democrats get another the next elec. tion, ‘Then, Negro voter, you will soon see the error of trusting t Democratic promises. It ig the duty of the County Cpm- “SBROHIE Bie’ Feats It is largely optional with the regis- ters whose names they place on their books. ‘The County Commissioners sit about a week prior to the elec- tion for the purpose of correcting the registers’ books and all corrections are made with the consent of the majority. If that majority be Demo. cratic, it would be an easy matter for it to refuse 4o register a number of names sufficient to assure ** - elec- tion of the Democratic n_ainees Those interested might appeal to the courts, but how many Negroes, the ones who would most likely suffer have the means, if they had the in- clination, to enter into litigation? It would be extremely unwise to give the opposition a club with which te break your head. BASE INGRATITUDE, “Suppose the Democrats do control the Legislature and pass a jim crow bill, the Governor will veto it,” is an excuse advanced by a Personal Lib- erty Leaguer! for his support of the Democrats. t In the name of heaven, what more do some Nexrovs want Gover- nor Glasucoak.to do for the race? ‘There has not eat in the gubernator- tal chair of this state a man Who has done more to prétect the Negro than has Governor ‘Glasscock. Have we ‘so soon forgotten the trouble to which he put himself and the expense in- curred by the State in his mobiliza- tion of troops at Gassaway to pro- tect two Innocent Negroes from mob violence? Do not his efforts to safe- ‘guard the-Negro Raymond and give him a fair trial demand that we in freturn vote for the men who will support his -policies? To do otherwise would be base ingratitude. It would stamp us as being unworthy of the special pro- tection which’ he has Invariably thrown around us. IN THEIR ELEVWENT. ‘The Personal Liberty League (black and tan Democrats) held a meeting last, week at: the crematory. Can it be that they were in thelr natural habitat, that inadvertently, yet properly, they assembled where the refuse of the city is collected and disposed of? It would be inel- egant to say that Negroes, who are advocating their own political and civil undoing, and garbage are syn- onomons, are equally offensive. And yet, what other conclusion is possible when a body of men voluntarily meet in a garbage crematory? Such sur. roundings certainly do not make for high ideals nor aesthetic tastes. es CERTAINLY NOT. BUT— A news item-appearing in a morn- ing daily after the MacCorkle meet- ing was to the effect that the Negroes from the ax factory came up in a spe- cial car, Since they had signified some days previously their intention of coming, the pessimist. might say the street car company, with which Governor MacCorkle is identified, had provided a jim crow car for them. But The Advocate takes no such view of the matter, for it does not necessarily follow that because Negro men were jim crowed at the meeting they were jim crowed in coming to it. —-+-__. ‘The Gazette, in speaking of the ¥MacCorkle meeting at the opera house Friday night, says the gallery was filled with colored voters.

In the November Scribner he describes his first hunting in “The Land of the Buffalo.” 11 was the prospect of ex- neriencing today some of the rom- anze and glamour of the old Wild Weet days that attracted him to a country where buffalo may still be found, The frst of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's group of romantic historical episodes, “Through the Mists,” ap- pears in the November S¢ribner, 11 gives a highly imaginative and true imprestion of the -feNigious cond- Hons existing in the fourth contury, and of “The Coming of the Fling,” @ wonderful and terrifying invading hort of warriors, “out of the un- kaown Basi."

(Thompson's National News Bureau) New York City, Oct. 15.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, the international advocate of the common-sense education was ten level a magnificent banquet last night at the Park Place Trades' Club (Kallis's), 14 Park Place, signalizing in fitting manners his return from an extended tour of Europe, where he had been entertained by royalty and by the most distinguished persons on the Continent managing the King of Denmark, Andrew Carnegie, the "Laird of Skibo" and many others of like prominence. The function was conceived by the close friends of the "Wizard" in New York, and while hurriedly gotten up, was attended by onwards of a hundred of the most eminent colored men, halling from all parts of the country. Representatives of every calling wied with one another in extending a warm welcome to the race's "first citizen," and the event was truly of nation-wide significance. The dinner was given at the exclusive Kalif's in Park Place, a resort patronized only by the clique of the metropolis, and this was the first time in all its history that it is kept the scene of a function given by Negroes. It is in the heart of New York's business district, surrounded by enterprises representing millions of dollars. The menu was the finest served at any similar function held, by our people here, as the following card will show: The Menu. Assorted Canapes, celery, olives, radishes, salted almonds, Cape Cod oyster cocktail, clear green turtle, au mademe, Kendex salmon, sauce mousse-line, euumbers, petatoes, hollandaise, broiled venison steak, snuffed tomatoes, current jelly, sweet potatoes, southern style, Roman punche roast, Philadelphia squab chicken, Oyster Bay asparagus, hollandaise chifionade salad, biscuit tortoni, assorted cakes, assorted cheese, toaster crackers, demi tasse, G. H. Mumm's extra dry, a la carte. The Toasts. The toasts, which were unusually eloquent examples of after dinner oratory and highly eulogistic of the distinguished guest of honor were re- sponded to by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, of Alabama; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Ohio; Hon. William H. Lewis, Massachusetts; Judge Robert H. Terrell, District of Columbia; Major R. R. Moton, Virginia; Dr. S. G. Elbert, Delaware; Hon. John S. Durham, Pennsylvania; Hon. P. B. S. Uinchback, Fred R. Moore, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, W. Clarence McDougald, and Chief Edward E. Lee, of New York, and J. C. Asbury, of Pennsylvania. The response, in which he gave some delightful pen pictures of humorous and instructive experiences in the Old World. It goes without saying that the "Wizard" was in his happiest vein. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, the natural leader of the race in the Empire State, was toastmaster, and his introductions were masterpieces of the art torensie. The Committee The committee on arrangements to whose earnest and energetic efforts this elaborate welcome to Dr. Washington is due, was made up of Chas W. Anderson, chairman: Wilford H. Smith, Fred R. Moore, Philo A. Payton, W. H. Smith, Robert H. Terrell, Ralph W. Tyler, C. J. Thomas S. G. Elbert, M. D., William H. Lewis, S. E. Courtney, M. D., J. C. Abbey and P. B. S. Pinchback.

Straughter prominent lodge man and financier ends his earthly labors and was buried yesterday. Greenville, Miss., Oct. 14—Mr. John W. Strauther a prominent business man of this city, died last night. Mr. Strauther was a prominent character in Mississippi both in the business world and in lodge matters. He conducted a large undertaking establishment and was president of the Penny Savings Bank of Greenville. He was also the leader of the Pythian forces of his state, serving at the time of his death as Grand Master of Execcequer and Treasurer of the Endownment Board. In the Supreme Lodge he held the high honor of Vice Supreme Chancellor. Mr. Strauther made a reputation as a banker when the old Knights of Honor Bank was in bad shape a few years ago. He took charge of its affairs and soon had matters in good shape though under a new name. The funeral will be held in Greenville, Wednesday, Oct. 19. Black and White Zones in Atlanta Whites will Consider. Sale of Property to Negroes in Certain Section an Unfriendly Act, is Said. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12—At a mass meeting of white residents of the fourth ward of Atlanta held last night, black and white zones were fixed and resolutions adopted notifying real estate dealers and the public generally that property in the ward must not be sold or rented to Negroes outside of the boundaries established. The whites would consider such violations of their wishes as "Reprehensible and unfriendly act." A committee of ten was appointed with instructions to see that the boundary line is maintained. The ringing of the "rising bell" at the Negro college in the vicinity at 5 o'clock in the morning was declared to be a public nuisance and steps were taken looking to its removal. DR. WASHINGTON TO TOUR NORTH CAROLINA. Thompson's National News Bureau, Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 20—All is in readiness for the forthcoming "educational pilgrimage" to be made by Dr. Booker T. Washington through the State of North Carolina. The "Wizard" will be accompanied by a score of representative men of the country, and the party will travel in a special car, provided by the Negro Business League of the State, under the auspices of which the tour is being conducted. The arrangements are in the hands of Bishop George W. Clinton, of the M. E. Zion church, and he is being assisted by Messrs. John Merrick, C. C. Spaulding, Dr. J. E. Shepard, Dr. George C. Clement and others. Well-known citizens will join the party along the various points to be touched on the route. The start will be made at Charlotte, Friday, Oct. 28, and the itinerary will include Concord, Salisbury, Greensboro Winston, Durham, Raleigh, Goldsboro, Newbern, Rocky Mount, Wilson and Willington, with others to be determined later. Dr. Washington has made similar tour of Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia and Delaware, and each has been instrumental in bringing about a better understanding and bred a keener sense of mutual inter dependence between the races. The North Carolina tour bids fair to be as fruitful of good as any that has preceded it. SMACKING THEIR LIPS Democratic Committee Correspondents Advances the Spoils Argument. Already Democratic brothers are beginning to amack their lips over the prospect of filling the various offices that belong to the house of representatives at Washington. The redoubtable George W. Summers, who contributes a syndicated article to the Democratic press of the state, estimates that there are about 900 good jobs that will be open to Democrats, and he thinks West Virginia should get some of these. Mr. Summers calls the roll of the various positions, fixes the value in dollars and cents of each one, and concludes his interesting summary as follows: "It looks like a clean sweep of all the present 900 employees or more, and the replacing of them by good Democrats. And it also looks as though there would be some West Virginiaans among the 900 or more employees to be named by Democratic congressmen. At any rate, with the house certain to be either Democratic or inargent, and with none but "stand-patters" running on the Republican ticket in West Virginia for congress, the chances of West Virginia Democrats for filling some of these positions are much more flattering than the chances of any Republican from West Virginia getting any of them in the next house." This gives a pretty fair understanding of the alms, purposes and objects of Democracy in West Virginia. Except for the occasional office and the more or less remote prospect of further official reward, Democracy in West Virginia has no object in being and has had no object for the past twenty years. It has opposed or retarded practically every reform and every piece of progressive legislation that has been written upon the statute books. It has betn the willing tool and servant of every corporation that has seen fit to put certain leaders upon its pension rolls. It has been the obedient slave of the railroads, of the oil companies, and the gas companies. It has sold the name of Democracy to tax dodgers and corporation lobbyists. The prospect of a few jobs to be scattered around may serve to bring new life for a short time to this purifying political body, but even the jobs, however abundant, will not be able to revive it permanently. A VICTIM'S TESTIMONY A Laborer Who Hasn't Forgotten Previoua Pinches. A workingman who has felt the pinches of that disastrous period in the country's history when the Democrats were in power has written to the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times warning his fellow workers about being taken in by the smooth words of the Democratic tariff revisionists of today. The writer says that he "distinctly remembers the arguments made by Democrats that $1 would produce $2 worth and everything would be cheap, but it has turned out that American labor was the cheapest thing in the country, and the low tariff farmer got stung. Wheat and corn could not be sold; wheat was fed to stock and everything else got cheap because the people went 'broke.' The government also went 'broke,' and President Cleveland had to sell bonds to meet expenses. Now, we don't want to put the country back to such a condition. My advice to the workingman is: Don't be fooled into voting for a low tariff officeseeker, because you will get the worst of it if you do." That is advice coming from one who knows. It is the plea of the Democratic free traders that under lower tariffs everything will be cheap. So they will. So will wages be lower, when work can be obtained, but what is the good of cheaper products when there is no money to purchase them with. This was the case in those sorrowful years of the Wilson-Gorman bill. Everything was cheap, but there was no work for the working men to earn a pittance to buy the cheap things. In those days the farmer couldn't sell because the purchasing power of the consumer was reduced to an insignificant minimum, and he, too, suffered as there was no market for his wheat, corn and other products. Are the people going to forget those days of desolation and want, into which they were once bunched by the fair promises and alleged advantages of "lower tariff?" EDUCATING THE CITIZEN. The public night schools have always done much to educate the foreigner, unschooled in English and often ignorant of it altogether. He learned to read and write there. Deficiencies in his education in the "three R's" were made good. But he needed more. An adult, intelligent and often well educated in his own tongue, the foreigner did not like studying with boys and girls of 14 to 18. He did not gain what he most yearned for—training in his duties and rights as a future citizen, acquaintance with the constitution and the knowledge he needs to pass the dreaded court examination by federal judges when he is naturalized. This has justly come to be a serious and valid test of a would-be citizen's knowledge of the principles, structure and working of the federal and state systems. A man seeking to be naturalized is expected to know how old a man must be before he can be chosen a federal senator and who succeeds the vice president if president and vice president both die. Training for citizenship is greatly needed by these foreigners who seek citizenship.—Philadelphia Press. The Harvard squad say that the new game's twice as much fun to play as was the old one.

From a critical standpoint of view, West Virginia's team does not near come up this year to the standard of teams or of playing, as set by former Varsity teams. Of course, the University is playing hard luck lately, in not having Munk at quarter and Bell at half. These men from the line-up tells heavily on the present team. Munk's absence has taken away the spirit of offense and the defensive vitality of the line. The new quarterbacks, while being good men, are new to the game and are not near so steady as Munk in the place. They do not use variety of plays that keep their opponents guessing all the time, and as shown by the last two games, in pinches do not use the right play, which in many cases means the turning point for either team. The backfield is awfully slow, so slow as to lead spectators to believe that they were attired in a divinity suit instead clad for action on the gridiron. The backfield on end runs cut in toward the center of the field too quick, instead or taking the advantage of an almost open field by making a larger circle around either end. The interference is very poor and open, allowing the sifting in of opposing players and getting the runner with the ball before he has advanced more than a yard, where with compact body in front, many more yards would be gained, instead of losing the ball on downs as was done in the Bethany-W. V. U. game so many times. The defense of the line is weak and also open, allowing rival halves to break through for large gains. The linemen do not use their eyes rightly and do not take hold of an advantage when it is offered (of course there are exceptions to this rule). W. V.

In last Saturday's game only one successful trick play was made. W. V. U. made 57 yards on forward passes during the game, and would have made more, but when the pass was used, it was used in bunches, which in the long run did not not many yards, where, by scattering the passes to every now and then in the game, would have been more successful, as in this case—W. V. U. ran three straight forward passes at one time, right after each other. The first two worked all right for 20 yards, but the last one was intercepted by an opposing half, who advanced it ten yards before he was downed. So on the three W. V. U. only made the difference of ten yards and more than that, lost the ball, where after working the first two successfully for 20 yards, then using an end run for variety, then maybe a forward pass, changing the plays around, ground could have been steadily gained, also causing the confusion of Bethany, and a touchdown could have been made in all possibilities. The standard is far lower than what it should be—the material is there to be molded, but the real molding has not yet occurred. Thompson as quarterback until Munk can be in the game again is all right, but he is yet a little nervous, and until that is worn off he will be no good. But he is a heady youngster, is fast, and on a whole is a fine man to run punts back down the field. The main need of the team is a quarterback who can take command of the eleven, take advantage of every opportunity, keep the fighting blood up to boiling heat, of every man. Cox and Ryan, of the line men, were the main men on the defense, always in every play, and nine times out of ten getting the runner for a loss. Perhaps Vaughn will play with Yale after all. It is said that the doctors have told him he may play football if he likes.
