The Advocate

THE ADVOCATE WE CHEERFULLY PUBLISH ALL CRISP NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. Harmony Candidate IS BADLY BEATEN BY REPUBLICANS WITH ASSISTANCE OF LOYAL NEGROES. Ben Carr a "Has Been" Black men refused to follow him into the Democratic camp, and Hill, of the Independents, was likewise unsuccessful. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 9—The battle is over in the Volunteer State. The democrats have surrendered and once again the flag of the Republican party is to be unfurled on Capitol Hill. The Prohibitionists, the Independent Democrats and the best thinking Negroes co-operating with the Republicans are all congratulating themselves. Capt Ben Hooper, the Republican party and its allies are on top beyond the shadow of a doubt. The administration of Governor Patterson was too large a burden for the Democratic party to carry through this campaign and win. Patterson, Sen. Taylor, "the Harmony Candidate," the Whiskey Ring" and the Negro Allies of the "White Supremecy" party are down and out. Ben Carr is a political "has-been" P. F. Hill, leader of Independent colored Republicans will now have time to stand around half-filled with whiskey, curse some more and louder. His headquarters are just above "Meta Dwiggins Saloon" or rather they used to be during the campaign It was just the right locality to buy and sell votes. Good citizens are never seen hanging around saloons in Tennessee. Ben Carr, the other Negro whom the Democrats elected to lead the colored voter failed miserably. If he had succeeded, perhaps he would have been restored to his high and mighty position as Chief Negro porter at the State Capitol. He was too active for Patterson candidates for the Supreme Court last August. They lost out and Ben Carr was "fired immediately." His fellow-workers at the capitol were all glad of it. As one said. "He made himself ebnoxious to us and the "white folks" too. He almost quit having anything to do with porters in his zeal to get within arms reach of the big white democrats." The Negroes chosen by the white Democrats to corral the colored voters have only a vogue idea of the meaning of a ballot. To them, it is something worth having at certain seasons of the year when the appetite is pinched for food and "firewater." Liberty, equality of opportunity, protection and equal rights before the law—these things never seemed to stir their consciences. They were not influenced by any high patriotic motives. They were just plain "grafting" Negroes—the kind always found around some saloon or corner in a whiskey drinking crowd, willing and anxious to be bought and sent out on a mission to buy the unprincipled and make a fool of the ignorant Negro. The respectable Negro element who voted the Democratic ticket from choice had the courage of their convictions. There were many of these. They could not be bought or sold. It would be an insult for any one to attempt it. They would consider it as such. They do their own thinking. They are the class of voters any party would be glad to have but they are so hard to handle. They know what liberty means and can see instinctly the difference between judicial procedure when a black man is before the courts and when a white man is there. Equality of opportunity, protection and equal rights before the law and in the pursuit of happiness mean something to them. They all long for the same liberty which all true Americans love and they enjoy the affection of the other people of the race. But it is certainly hard to understand how any Negro could vote for a Democrat against a Republican in any regular election. Their action may have in it great possibilities of evil or good for the race. In the light of the past it looks like making a covenant with the hottest regions of hades. But anyhow all Negroes good, bad and indifferent who voted for the Democrats have been beaten "to a frazzle." Those who opposed them in the campaign now have the laugh. To sum up results, the victory of the Republicans will not mean anything for the Negroes in the way of jobs. The limit of his service to the State as a public servant begins and THE ADVOCATE. will end with "porter". It will hardly add anything to his Federal prestige. There are about five letter carriers and clerks in the post office. The number is more likely to grow smaller than larger. The party has done nothing to advance "the rank and file" men in this particular. Negro business life would take a large leap forward if the colored people here could take down $300,000 or more each year from being employed in the postal service. This is where Napier failed most in his leadership He was not a success in pressing the Negroes into the postal service. It would have helped his bank in Nashville, the Peoples Bank and Trust Company and many other business enterprises established by Negroes. Industrial Education AND COMMUNITY GROWTH RECEIVES A BOOST AT HANDS OF MOTHERS' LEAGUE. Children Parade Principal Streets of Columbia, Congregate in Court House Where Patriotic Airs Were Sung and able Addresses Delivered. Columbia, Tenn., Nov. 5—Columbia is the former seat of Tennessee aristocracy. The wealth and learning of the commonwealth used to be centered here before Nashville became its abiding place. But the spirit still lives in Columbia. The "white folks have it" and "the Negroes too." The colored people scattered throughout Tennessee are glad to claim Columbia as their home. They are in the main among the most prosperous and intelligent people of the State. They are proud. They want to keep growing. This spirit gave birth to the mothers' school improvement leagues began at Columbia in the hope that their influence might be felt not only here but throughout the entire State of Tennessee. The good men and women of the city are at work as never before and they are succeeding. They are getting results. This was evident from the large concourse of people, young and old, who joined in the demonstration for the cause of education this morning and the enthusiasm with which they received the speakers and their hearty appreciation of the wholesome advice given throughout the addresses. It was also seen in the large amount of money contributed. Prof. H. L. Keith, of Nashville, has been known for a long time as an advocate of patriotism being taught Negro school children more largely. The teachers of Columbia and Maury County agree most heartily with his view. Every pupil and teacher in the long line carried an American flag unfurled to the breezes. This line of march was from the high school through the business section to the court-house where a program of patriotic airs was rendered which literally suprised the court-house inhabitants as much as it pleased them. Dr. T. W. Stephens was master of ceremonies. He introduced Mr. Keith, who delivered a very practical and common sense address. He began by saying, "I shall not indulge in fine phrases and expressions about unknown things. I prefer rather to address you in the simplest words and the plainest sort of manner about the things of which you have some knowledge and which we have come to emphasize. He was frank in his criticism and agreeable in his remarks praising the members of the organization, the teachers, citizens and school children for what they are doing for self-advancement. Finally, he said, we cannot incur a more serious loss than our loss of faith in each other or in mankind. Preserve your faith in man and so act and so live that his faith in you may also be be assured for the good it may do and the happiness it may bring to us in all phases of human activity. Hon. A. N. Johnson is a new spirit in the business life of Tennessee colored people. He has a national reputation as one of the race's most successful business men and the leading man in the profession of embalming. He has seen service in the Alabama political arena, has been a prominent and influential member of more than one national republican convention. Mr. Johnson spoke for half an hour on education, business and industry. The points emphasized by the CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 1910. NEGRO VOTE IN DOUBTUAL STATES BALANCE OF POWER BIG STICK TEDDY TAFT The Negro's Big Stick speakers together may be summed up as follows: The inefficient, idle, ignorant Negro will yield to the temptation and seize the opportunity to commit crime for that reason he is a menace to the law-abiding and better element of the race. Every community should rid itself of this class. It should be done by education when possible, otherwise the best colored people should join hands with the best white people and handle the situation as the case may merit. It is better to build school houses than jails. The colored people should provide school-houses for themselves when they cannot get them otherwise. Representative white people, are showing a disposition to help us by lending their moral influence and giving their means in order to encourage us in our efforts for self-advancement. Agriculture was emphasized as well as the imperative need of hard and constant work in behalf of the great mass of Tennessee Negroes in order to fit them for the occupation for which they are naturally and by opportunity qualified. BERWIND. Rev. J. M. Hogans, formerly of Georgetown, Tenn, has been sent here this year to pastor the M. E. church. Rev. Hogans delivered two excellent sermons Sunday. Mrs. Jake Saunders and family have moved to Glen-White to live. Prof. W. M. Coleman is visiting friends and relatives in Kentucky. The "Home Mission" is doing some splendid good work at present. Miss Lillie B. Fitch and Willie Brice were callers on the school Tuesday and reports it progressing. An effort is being made to organize a K. of P. lodge at this place. The little son of Rev. J. W. Crider is very sick. Miss Louisa Waller has returned home after a short visit to her brothin Susanna. Rev. J. M. Hogans were calling on Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Brice Monday. NEW AFRICAN METHODIST MINISTER. Elkins, Nov. 9—The Rev. H. Allcye, the newly appointed pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has been in Elkins only one month but his success has been phenomenal. He has begun to concentrate the forces of the church by organizing the general society into dub ones. The choir has been reorganized and the music quite up-to-date. Last Sunday evening a large congregation turned out to hear Rev. Alleyne preach an interesting sermon on "Workers, Shirkers and Jerkers". Quite an impression was made. The church is being beautified and when finished will greatly improve its looks and reflect credit on the pastor and congregation. Rev. Alleyne is a graduate of Wilberforce University, (Ohio), and pastored outie successfully at Parkersburg last year. The South's Awakening HASTENED BY THE REMARK ABL TOUR OF THE WASH- INGTON PARTY. Best of Both Races Enthusiastically Greet the Noted Educator who Delivered Messages of Hope and Cheer in-Principal Cities of The Old North State. --- Charlotte, N. C., November 4. "The Old North State" is ablaze with enthusiasm tonight from Cape Fear to Blue Ridge as the result of a seven days' "educational pilgrimage" through North Carolina by Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and recognized everywhere as the "foremost man of the Negro race in the world." This remarkable itinerary, which began here last Friday and closed here tonight, has had the effect of bringing the white and colored people of the State into closer touch and promoting a clearer understanding of the duties and obligations of each. Out of the same teachings of the century's greatest instructor in "common-sense" education, all agree that great good is bound to come to every citizen of the nation, and particularly of the South, to whom his appeal is chiefly directed. At every point visited by Dr. Washington and his party they were enthusiastically received by the best people of both races, and no stones were left unburned to make their stay pleasant and profitable. Mayors of cities, judges of the highest courts, ministers of all denominations, teachers, leading business and professional forces, farmers, merchants and the substantial factors in every walk of life vied with one another to do them honor. Hearty approval of their alms were expressed in personal and in public speech. The largest auditoriums were thrown open—many of them for the first time to meeting under Negro auspices, in order that the distinguished "stranger within our gates" might be heard to the best advantage by all. It is estimated that more than 50,000 persons heard the words of wisdom, hope and cheer that fell from his lips. Business was practically suspended in the various cities on the day the "Wizard of Tuskegee" came and excursions from the surrounding country augmented the crowds of "home folks." The South's New Awakening. The newspapers of the State have been exceptionally generous in their attention to the details of the trip. Ably-written stories have been given each day of the meetings, and editorial "leaders" have commended in glowing terms the stimulating doctrine of thrift, industry, morality and self-helpfulness that the "Wizard" preaches. A genuine awakening seems to be at hand for the masses and the classes because of the presence and magnetic influence of one who hears so gallantly the torch of human uplift, and who points out in such luminous fashion the phenomenal progress the Negrfo race is making throughout the Southland, and indicating with diplomatic emphasis how that progress may be given a greater impetus and be established on a firm and lasting foundation. Never before has this message been so happily presented; never before has the sympathetic interest of the controlling elements of the commonwealth been appealed to successfully; never before has a difficult situation been met and so signally mastered. In the seven days of contact with one another and with all kinds and condition of mankind there was not the slightest semblance of friction. Not a single jarring note was sounded to mar the perfect harmony of the most significant event in the recent history of this highly favored State. It is conceded upon all hands that this tour breaks all previous records. Averaged up, it overtops in many respects, the six pilgrimages of a similar character that have been projected. The magic city of Durnam was reached Monday evening. The most enthusiastic crowd of the season was at the station and a brass band lent liveliness to an already very live picture. The party left their Pullman quarters and were soon ensconced in the beautiful homes of the representative colored citizens of this progressive place, a marked feature. This being the home of the two business factors of the managerial committee, much was expected of the entertainment it was to offer and it more than "delivered the goods." In the evening, long before time to open the doors, an immense crowd gathered in front of St. Joseph's A. M. E. Church, eager to get a chance to hear the great Tuskegeean, 2500 people, white and colored, were packed like sardines in the massive edifice when the meeting opened. Prof. W. G. Pearson, chairman of the local committee, presided. J. E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School introduced the speaker of the evening. Following the exercises at the church, a magnificent banquet was given in the main dining hall of the National Religious Training School. Tuesday morning the principal business houses owned by colored men were visited by the Washington party, including the offices of the North Carolina and Providence Insurance Company, the textile factory, the office of the Reformer, the Bull City Drug Store, and other places of like prominence. Samples of hosery were given away at the textile factory. The Whitted Graded School was visited and Dr. Washington, Prof. McCrorey, Dr. G. C. Clement and others delivered addresses. Dr. Shepard's school was also visited and Dr. Washington delivered an address of special force expressing his surprise and gratification that a school of such propor tions could be substantially developed in so short a period. In the audience were several of the wealthiest white citizens of Durham, who have taken a deep interest in the welfare of this institution, including representatives of the famous family of Dukes. At Wilson. The citizens of Wilson likewise gave the Washingtonites a royal reception. The brass band from the St. Paul School at Lawrenceville, Va., met the party at the station. The meeting was held in the auditorium of the Graded School and the audience of 1200, fully half white was the most responsive and sympathetic that had yet greeted the speaker. The principal, Prof. G. D. Reid surprised every one by having on the rostrum a combination of the products of the school farm, embracing a monster cabbage head, cotton bolls, peanuts, corn and wheat. The exhibit called forth the heartiest commendation of Dr. Washington. S. H. Vick, for many years postmaster at Wilson, presided, and Former Congressman F. A. Woodward delivered the address of welcome. Following the address, Prof. C. L. Coon, county superintendent of education, gave a practical talk that was greatly appreciated. A banquet followed the program, with Dr. F. H. Hargraves as toastmaster. Shortly after his arrival at Wilson, Dr. Washington laid the first brick in the new Missionary Baptist church. At Rocky Mount. The St. Paul School band made the welkin ring at Rocky Mount and the usual crowds was on hand. After a fine dinner, at which Rev. R. Burton Harper was toastmaster, 4,000 people gathered in the largest tobacco warehouse in the section, people hanging to rafters and on hogheads to get a glimpse of the wonderful visitor. Prof. T. W. Thurston presided, and the address of welcome was delivered by Former Mayor Battle, one of the South's most liberal statesmen. He said that if the country had an abundance of such advisers as Dr. Washington the horrors of the reconstruction period would have been avoided. Stops were made at Selma, Taboro and Parmelo, the audiences at the three points aggregating 6,000. At Washington. 1,500, a capacity audience, was in the Opera House at Washington Wednesday night. Rev. N. Hardings rector of the Episcopal church, welcomed the party and its distinguished leader, and many prominent white citizens of the town had seats on the platform. Letters regretting their inability to be present were sent by Former Governor and Senator T. A. Jarvis and Mayor F. M. Wooten. Dr. W. G. Saunders was chairman of 'the local committee, and Rev. C. E. Askew, Rev. C. D. Dinkins and others rendered valuable assistance. At Newbern. Historic Newbern was full of interest to the tourists, Prof. Isaac H. Smith, banker, capitalist and former State Senator was at the head of affairs and they were conducted in business-like fashion. A drive to James City, the old-time Negro settlement where Prof. Smith got his start toward fame and fortune, was one of the features of the day, and a fine country dinner at the Newbern Collegiate Institute, in charge of Mrs. A. L. E. Weeks, was another So was the brass band. The opera house was crowded in the afternoon, and the audience was an appreciative one. On this platform were representatives of the Board of County Commissioners, the Board of Education, and of the bankers and business men generally. Former James A. Bryan welcomed Dr. Washington and paid a high tribute to Negro education, calling special attention to the industrial school about to be launched here by Prof. A. L. E. Weeks, on the lines that have proven so successful at Tuskegee Institute. Circuit Judge H. G. Connor sent a letter of regret, as court was in session. At Wilmington. The meeting at the great opera house at Wilmington was a fitting climax to the great tour. Standing room was at a premium early in the evening. Mayor Walter G. MacRae delivered the address of welcome. 2,500 people were present and applauded the "Wizard" to the echo. Mr. George Rountree, a prominent lawyer, who had not always understood Dr. Washington's policies thoroughly, gave them his full endorsement; he was a convert and an enthusiastic one, too. Mr. J. A. Taylor, a leading merchant, declared that industrial and commercial education were the best means of enabling the Negro to make a living and take part in the (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) Makes Strenuous Effort Funds to Rebuild Structures stroyed by Fire, and Walden university has Similar Campaign. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8—Compulsory Education was advocated by the Regular Negro Republicans in the platform they adopted during the campaign. The step was a wise one and the matter should be pressed. In many of the cities throughout the State of Tennessee, there appears to be more children on the streets than in the school-houses. It is such an evident fact that the public educators are stirred up and are gradually forming plans for a campaign against ignorance and idleness. It is being felt in many parts of the State. Educational rallies are being held and the interest of the people in self-advancement is being quickened. The Nashville people, led by the school supervisors and principals, will begin their campaign on next Sunday when the school teachers begin the fight for intelligence by holding public meetings in many of the leading churches. The campaign has been ably planned by Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School, assisted by Dr. J. P. Crawford, Supervisor of the Grammar Department and Prof. H. L. Keith Supervisor of the Manual Training Department in the city schools. President Geo. A. Gates, of Fisk University has returned from New York where he attended the meeting of the University Trustees. He is to be at the inauguration of president Few of Trinity College, Durham, N.C., on November 9th. He will return directly to Nashville so as to be in the city by the evening of the 10th or the morning of the 11th. The first lecture of the year was held in Fisk memorial chapel last Friday night. Prof. G. E. Haynes was the speaker. His subject was "What is Sociology." It is very hard building up but it is always interesting even if it is difficult and sometimes most discouraging. Any observer who knew Walden and Roger Williams University in the past and saw what was left after the fires which destroyed them realizes this. What has been done and what is being done to re-establish Roger Williams and replace the buildings destroyed at Walden represents very largely the loyalty and love of the graduates of these two great and useful institutions. President J. W. Johnson was called to perform the task of re-establishing Roger Williams. He is doing well. He has the co-operation of the sensible and progressive elements of the Baptist people of the State and the sympathy of the most thoughtful Negroes in America who know the history of Roger Williams, the man at its head and the task he has before him. Institutions represent very largely the lives of individuals who have suffered most and done most for their perpetuity. The Negro Baptists who are encouraging President Johnson and helping him are yet to feel proud and blessed for what they do to preserve this institution to advance the spirit of learning among generations. At Walden University during the past two years, the graduates have been making strenuous efforts looking to the restoration of the buildings destroyed by fire. They have met with some encouragement and the friends of the institution are confident that something definite will be done in the near future by the Methodist School Board. The Hubbard Hospital is rapidly nearing completion. It will mean along step forward for the Meharry Medical College. Dr. Robt. F. Boyd is probably due more credit than any other person for the establishment of this hospital. He is the pioneer Negro hospital advocate. It is his most distinguishing characteristic as a physician and in this particular he is a benefactor of the race. Now, if this hospital is run properly it will be a source of credit to Meharry and the physicians and other people who have made it possible. But if it is made a battle (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) CORRESPONDENCE ORRESI “ORas. N. Jobson, of Washington, D. @; is visiting bis family on VW, Barge street. ‘he anniversary of Mt. Zion M.

The Advocate is entered in the Post-office at Charleeton, W. Va., as second class matter. THE EIGHTH OF NOVEMBER As was to have been expected, the Negro is looming up largely as a cause contributing to the defeat of the Republican candidates of Kanawa-ha county. Never was a people more falsely accused. The Negro, in proportion to his numbers, stood more loyally by the Republican ticket than any other body of men composing the body politic. As evidence of this fact, we cite the two precincts of this city in which is congregated the majority of the Negro voters. In one, the Garnett school precinct, the Republican ticket received a majority, which was true of only one other precinct of the city. In another, the triangle, the once dominant party lost by a margin of seventeen votes. Here, it is currently reported, money and whiskey were used as never before and every other effort possible was made to debauch the voter. Yet the black man is not alone responsible for the reverse. In this precinct there are Jews and Assyrians in numbers equal to or surpassing the Negro voters. The Assyrians have always voted the Democratic ticket. The Jews were known to be hostile to the allignment of the Republicans with the Prohibitionists and were expected by those cognizant of such matters to rebuke the "dry" stand of their Republican friends. But granting that some Negroes did vote for certain Democratic candidates, had the whole race in this city and county stood to a man for the Republican ticket, the result would have been little different. The majority by which the Democrats won was almost twice as large as the entire Negro vote. In view of this, the Negro, like Macbeth, but more truthfully, can say: "Thou canst not say I did it. Never shake thy gory locks at me." Those who are inclined to censure our people for the slump should not forget that Kanawha county was not the only place where Republicans got a black eye. The disaffection was nation wide. The party is simply paying the penalty for the dissensions within its own ranks and the true or false impression that it is responsible for the high cost of living and other evils of which the people complain. WHAT WILL THEY DO? As soon as it became definitely known that the legislature would be Democratic, the Negro, ever fearful of his civic and political rights began to figure on the legislation affecting his status which would be probably enacted. He has, with great reluctance, resigned himself to the separate coach idea and very greatly fears lest the proposal of a disfranchisement amendment follow closely in its wake. Senator-elect MacCorkle says we need fear neither, that we will be molested by class legislation of no kind. Here's hoping that the senator's prophecy will come true. And it will if his colleagues will play the game according to Hoyle. The rules are strongly against a showing of hands during the next two years. It would be the wisest policy to let the race question severely alone. Neither jim crow cars nor disfranchisement should be hinted at from any Democratic source. In this way the suspicions of the Negro would be allayed, his support in an increasing measure would be secured and less effort be necessary to get control of the reins of the government in West Virginia. Once secure in all state offices and backed by a Democratic legislature, it would be a simple matter to enact the prospective legislation which experience has taught us to fear wherever Democrats gain the ascendency in the Southland. It will be something new under the sun if Gov. MacCorkle's party takes the stand which ne predicts, a stand so diametrically opposite to what history teaches one to expect. As was said, it would be good politics to follow his lead in these matters, but there is a saying to the effect that the Democratic party may be expected to make a d—n fool of itself in critical moments. Oh Lord, help them not to make d—n fools of themselves at this crisis. FINANCIAL FINANCE Not since the failure of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company has there occurred a greater disaster in Negro financial affairs than the downfall of the True Reformers bank at Richmond and of a similar institution conducted by the Fishermen at Newport News, both in the State of Virginia. Each, because of its connection with fraternal organizations, held a unique position among banking institutions. Each was in position to, and did, number among its depositors hundreds who placed their money therein solely because of the confidence they had in the respective fraternities controlling them. Many of them are inherently distrustful of Negro banks conducted along the old established lines, and it was, even with many a doubtful shake of the head that they passed their money over to the depositories of their beloved and much trusted orders. The failure of these will do much toward weakening if it does not wholly destroy all confidence among them. The danger is lest they do not carefully weigh the causes leading to the failures and place all Negro banks which now exist or which may hereafter be established in the doubtful column. One does not have to go far to find the reasons for the failure of the Reformer bank. Those in control of its affairs were too anxious to get rich quick and the members of the order unconsciously contributed to the downfall by failure to read the glaring signs. A man must have been blind indeed not to have seen that the style of living affected by some of the bank officials, the palatial residences which they had erected for themselves were far above the station of men receiving their salaries, even though these salaries were higher than was reasonable. Many indications pointed to woeful ignorance, if not criminal negligence, on the part of the bank's officials, but those who sounded the alarm were branded as false prophets and their warnings went unheeded. Now is the deluge. But the Reformers need not give up all hope. With a master mind to guide a loyal following there is yet a bright future for the order and for the bank. If either is to be rehabilitated, it must be separated from the other and placed upon a firm foundation at the outset of the rebeginning. The insurance department must demand and receive of the insured premiums based upon the mortality tables of fraternal societies and not upon such two-for-one plans as have heretofore guided all Negro fraternities. The bank must adopt and stick to those rules which have made other banks the impregnab le financial concerns they are. If the True Reformers, as is true of the Fishermen, wipe the slate clean and begin once more in the right way, all will be well. If not, let them expect a repetition of failure and loss of confidence. GET BUSY, FRIEND Our attention has been called to an editorial in the Pioneer Press, which the closing days of the campaign and its aftermath have prevented us from seeing, to the effect that—if we have not been misinformed. The Advocate has wilfully misled the race as to the danger of jim crow cars and disfranchisement. The Advocate has no apologies to make for the stand it took and only hopes, while denying the indictment of wilful misrepresentation, that future events will disprove its predictions. If Brother Clifford can contribute in any way toward the realization of our hopes, Brother Clifford will increase the great debt the race already owes him. Arrangements have been made with Dr. Booker T. Washington for the publication in this paper of a series of six articles on his recent observations of "the man farthest down" in Europe. This series will appear in no other paper in this state. Those who are not subscribers, will do well to send in their name and money at once, if they wish to read the first number. It is pretty reasonably safe to state that our readers will excuse the lateness of our appearance this week when they understand that the rooster served for breakfast Wednesday morning caused a severe attack of acute indigestion. "Criminal negligence" is too old a definition of the dealings of certain officials of the Reformer's Bank who, on the proceeds of their salaries, were able to build residences for themselves as large as dormitories of the average Negro schools. It would be like taking an all-day sucker from a baby to bet that there are certain Negroes of the black and sun Democratic persuasion who wish they had not done it. Mr. MacCorkle's record shows that he is friendly disposed toward the Negro, but, darn it, Mr. MacCorkle is not the whole cheese in his party. "Tis true, 'tis pity; and pity 'tis, 'tis true. There is some sort of eclipse predicted for the sixteenth. It seems to have been about eight days ahead of time. "All is lost save honor," but there is no denying the fact that we would have preferred a few of the offices to so datblamed much honor.

There's a little consolation. The South's Aw'kening CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. productive work of the nation. Iro dell Mears, candidate for Congress, was on the platform, as were also Mr. J. W. Church, from Hampton, Lawyer George E. Baskett, and W. M. Cummings. Prof. J. A. Bonner, principal of the City School, presided. Mr. O. H. Lennon was chairman of the very capable committee on arrangements. At the banquet, engraved resolutions expressing the gratitude and appreciation of the party of the palestaking labors of the Washington party were presented to Bishop Clinton, and Messra. John Merrick and C. C. Spaulding. The presentation speech was made by R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association. At Maxton. The last lap of the journey of the Washington party through the "Old North State" brought them to Maxton Friday morning and Dr. Washington made an excellent impression upon the cotton farmers of that section by a plain address at the colored park. Excellent arrangements had been made by Chairman E. W. R. Ziegler. The procession from the Masonic hall to the park was a long and peculiarly interesting one. Lawyer and Former Congressman Geo. B. Patterson introduced the speaker. At Laurinburg. The last stop was made at Laurinburg, one of the largest cotton markets of the South. In a base-ball park, surrounded by fields abloom with cotton bolls, ready to be picked, Dr. Washington delivered one of the strongest addresses of the itinerary and made a most remarkable impression upon the representative planters, bankers and men of large means, who crowded the platform and who had joined with their colored friends in inducing the "Wizard" to include this city in his program. Mayor Maxey L. John introduced Dr. Washington as "the foremost man of his race and the greatest industrial teacher in the world," and advised white and black alike to be guided by his advice. The committee on reception was headed by W. P. Evans, who owns a large dry goods establishment in the city. The automobile used by Dr. Washington was placed at his disposal by Hon. J. S. McNair, one of the Scotland County's wealthiest citizens who employs hundreds of colored men on his cotton plantations. The banquet For Sale Houses and Lots Water, Shade Trees on residence lots.

The party left for Charlotte, where farewell were said and felicitations were exchanged. All in all the North Carolina tour bids fair-to-cap the climax of all the celebrated "Washington tours, in point of area covered, in the number and character of individuals influenced, and in tangible results that are likely to grow out of the "Wizard's" far-reaching messages of peace and his exhortations to higher standards of light, and leading. Forward Movement CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. ground of the jealousy, envy and strife well-known to exist among the Nashville colored physicians, it will be a failure, a discredit to everybody connected with it. Before the building was completed and while the hospital association and clubs were still active in its behalf, the race problem ghost appeared in the form of a sensational story in the Nashville Globe. The question of "Black Head Nurse or White Head Nurse", was sprung from that source. That was the first blow at the faith and co-operation of the people. In matters of business the most intelligent Negro is well versed. He will not pay for color—black, white, brown or yellow. In the learned professions he will not pay for anything but science, experience and ability. Best of all, the intelligent members of the race are teaching those who do not know—that color should not be a consideration but merit and character mean everything. That spirit is taking firm hold of all the interest of the race in Tennessee. Subjects of Interest WILL ENGAGE ATTENTION OF DELEGATES TO W. VA. TEACH- ERS' ASSOCIATION.

Score 21 to Nothing Forward passes and end runs beautl- fully executed were responsible for the victory of the Old Gold. |_. Harpers Ferry, Nov. 8.—On Satur- day afternoon, November 5, Storer met her old time foot ball rival on the local gridiron. ‘The day was an ddeal one for tho gamo and an en- thusiastic company of onlookers with thelr Storer pennants and arm bands of old gold gave character to the occasion. Yell Master Arter warmed the company up and encouraged the Supporters of the Old Gold by his loading in the singing and’ giving yells. At 3 p. m. the referee's whistte blew, announcing that the game wa» on, Capt. Wheaton, of Storer had won the toss and chose to defend tho south gold. At first kick off an M, St. end was off side .and the’ ball Was kicked off a second time, It wae cleanly handled by Storer and ad- vanced several yards before Seott, who was carrying it, was downed, Then after a serles of line plunges Wheaton kicked the ball tar Into M, St.’s territory. For a few min- utes by a series of excellently exe- cuted plunges on tackle M. St. carried the ball down the field. Storer soon got over her anxlety and her chance Was stopped. For a few minutes the ball see-sawed back and forth over the line when a forward pass was tonched by Shipley, for M. St., and Was recovered hy Storer. From this me on Storer steadily marched to- ards M. St.'s goal. When within 17 yards of that place tho time for the first quarter was ended with the ball in Storer’s possession. During the three minutes intermission, while seeking a coat a Storer man stopped from the fleld and a penalty was de- manded by M, St. and was allowed. "At the opening of the second quar- ter, Crawford, of Storer was sent around the opponents end for what Seemed like a touchdown, but the Berar RPS yikes aos of need-ore emote meee Muesuiun ald He Kad atepied outalde |§e line wou the toweh dows was now uswed. But Storer would -npt be denied and by powerful rushes and a, penutizully executed criss-cross, between: Crawford and Howard, the sormer clreled the end for a touch down., No goal, f ; Brom tha time on to the end of ;the. balf the -ball was kept in M. St.'s territory but no result followed. During the intermission both teams {were cared for by thelr coaches anu when the agcond half began it was evident that each team meant busi- Ines. Storer recélyed the kick-off, and by brilliant end runs and for- ward passea.in which Crawford and Howard showed their speed and skill the ball was soon placed near ‘M. SU's goal where Capt. Wheaton broke the opposing Mne and with as many of the team holding him ais could reach him and scored the sec- jond touch down, Wheaton kicked goal, Not long after the resumption of play by the same dazzling tactics M. 'St. was literally mawed down and brushed aside for another touch down made by Brumage with the whole back field of M. St. trying to stop him. No goal. ‘Tho last part of the quarter saw janather heautitul place of football jexecuted by, Guard Makel, of Storer, {yhg broke. through the line and chas- jng ® ball. fumbled by: tae opponents downed (t hehind: their line. When fhe mass. of players was untangled Ht-wae found that.both he and Capt. Brown, of M. St. held it and the ref. eree decided..to call ita touchback. ‘Bi St. broght it back and kicked it off from thelr 25-yard line. where the third ‘quarter ended. The last quarter was a repetition of the «third. ~Beautiful forward {asses by. Capt. Wheaton and re- jAelved. by: Howard tore off yards ‘Then Crawford again executed one of his lighthing-Iike runs, Again no }touch down was allowed by having gone out of bounds one foot trom the goal line. It only took a moment for Frank Wheaton to rush across for the fourth touch down. No goal. Darkness was now falling and for the short time remaining frequent delays were indulged in by M. St. and fo the game ended dangerously near another touch down. The work for Storer was splendid, every man was into every play, and to especially mention Capt, Wheaton Crawford, Howard, Howell and Brim- age is not to lessen the luster be- longing to the others. For Mz. St. Capt, Brown, Shipley, Woody, did tho best work, The following is the Hne-up for Storer: Crawford, R. E.; Scott, R. T.; Howell, R. G.; Thomas, C.; Palmer, Makel, L. G.; DeShields, L.
