THE AFFAIR AMERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XVIII. NO. 15. EDUCATION WILL NOT SOLVE RACE PROBLEM EDUCATION WILL NOT SOLVE RACE PROBLEM IT WILL TAKE MONEY AND THE BALLOT TO CARRY HIM ALL THE WAY THROUGH Visits The Arkansas Baptist College And Pays A Glowing Tribute To The Value Of Dr. Jos. A. Booker As An Educator—Has Visited Enough Colleges To Make Him An Educated Man—Meets With A CooI Reception In Pine Bluff But Gets Through All Right. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Little Rock, Ark.-I have never believed that education would determine the Negro's future in this country, nor do I believe money will do it, but education and money put together will go some distance, and then the ballot must tote him the rest of the way. For years and years I have been watching the education of our people, and I expect to continue to do so, because I believe they are making some headway, and they should be encouraged. I have visited college after college until I think that I have a little education because there is no man who has been to more colleges than I have. I start this year in the Arkansas Baptist College, where I believe I have been helped, and where I believe I have been made to see the light of day, and not the North pole. I have had nothing to say to you about the discovery of this instrument or whatever you call it, but I have discovered here in this place a man who is doing as much for the world as any other man in our race, and it is Prof. Joseph A. Booker, D D., president of the Arkansas Baptist college. I am sure that you do not consider Prof. Booker a stranger, for he is not. He came into this world right here in this state and started his education here but put on the finishing touch in Tennessee. I said the finishing touch, but I do not mean this. He is not finished yet, but continues to take on more and more education. It was during the Christmas week that Dr. Booker celebrated his 50th anniversary by calling around him his family, and thankking God for what had been done for him. Dr. Jooker has been at the head of the Arkansas Baptist college 23 years and has rendered good service for his race. The institution has been going up and up ever since he took charge of it until now it ranks with the leading schools of the entire country. The student body has increased and until now daily applications are turned down, because of the lack of room. Valuable property has been accumulated. I am informed by reliable people that the city property alone owned by the college is worth $50,000 and the industrial farm valued at $10,000. During the summer he received a donation from the Jeannes fund with which the farm is being operated, and the manual training and domestic science departments are operated by a donation from the Slater fund I would here say that the secret of success is due to the administrative organization, and Dr. Jooker is an organizer as well as an executive officer. Back of the gun must be a gunner, who is indispensible. Now fortunately Mr. Booker he has been able to secure a good gunner in the person of John A. Hibbler, private secretary. He has been trained by Dr. Booker, hence he is better fitted for the work. A few yeare ago Mr. Hibbler graduated from the college department, then he studied law, and returned to help to develop his own school. He is faithful, and is to Dr. Booker what Emmett J. Scott is to Dr. Washington. He has taken hold and developed the commercial department, teaching commercial law and other branches. He is polite, courteous, and wins for the president and the institution friends. Miss Dora Greer is stenographer and assistant bookkeeper. She is a graduate from the college. See graduated several years ago from the commercial department, then taught shorthand and typewriting in the Baptist college at Holly Springs, Miss. She returns now to the Arkansas Baptist college to devote her life to the work. She is an efficient clerk. Music is one of the features of the Arkansas Baptist college. Miss M. A.

BISHOP WALTERS TO SAIL FOR LIBERIA IS TENDERED A RECEPTION IN WASHINGTON BY FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF HIS Washington Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger, 1918 Eleventh Street. N. W. Washington, January 19—A public mass meeting was held Tuesday evening at Galbraith M. E.

The affair was under the joint direction of the Zion churches and missions of the District. Bishop Walters sails for Mourovia, Liberia, from New York, on the 26th inst.

Watty, paid a visit to Alpha Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at its semi-monthly meeting last Tuesday evening, and made a very interesting address.

BETHEL INSTITUTE PROPERTY PURCHASED NOW OWNED BY CHURCH EXTENSION SOCIETY AND CANNOT BE SOLD OR MORTGAGED Traveling In South Africa Is Very Expensive. — Railroads, Post Carts, Mule Team and the Old Fashioned Ox Carts—Each Caravan Carries Its Own Provisions And Cooking Utensils And Sometimes A Cook—Good Thing For A Bishop To Have Been Born on a Farm. By Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D Cape Town, South Africa, December 22, 1909.—Allow an intrusion upon your valuable space, for a word about our work in South Africa. We have purchased Bethel Institute property for the Church Extension Society. It cannot now be mortgaged, bonded or sold without the consent of the Board of Church Extension Society, and the Resident Bishop of South Africa. Our people in Cape Colony are grateful to God and the Bishops of the Church thru whose good offices it was made possible in Jacksonville, Fla., Session February, 1909. We are now worshipping and conducting school in it. Episcopal visitation has been made to a considerable number of places since my arrival in 1908. The first long distance taken after the Kimberley Conference, was no Basutoland, via Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony to Maseru, where the High Commissioner,—Lord Selborne was ret by 18,000 mounted Basutos a fine spectacle. My interview with Lord Selborne was satisfactory. Travel in South Africa is very,very expensive and varies as to method. Some distances can be traversed by railroad; by post cart; by mule team; by the slow, and I had almost tortuous, ox cart; by saddle; [I spent 23 days on horse back;] and last, but by no means least used, on foot, I had a most exhilaration eight hour tramp across the mountains at Quema. Each caravan carries its own provision, and cooking utensils, sometimes a cook, if one can afford it. But a cook, an interpreter and driver is an expensive outfit, especially when one contemplates a trek of from six to ten weeks. It is a good thing for a Bishop to Africa to have been born on a Canadian farm, then cook and driver can be dispensed with. A good digestive apparatus, or organ is a prime necessity to comfort and longevity, whether one is doing Mission work in a foreign field, or living amid civilized and aesthetic environments. When one can make Episcopal dignity to mean being practically useful; to take off the coat roll up the sleeves, make a fire, get out the pots, oen cans, boxes and baskets, and in a short time one may sit down to an enjoyable meal on the open veld, or under the cart. Then collect the oen, or mules, in pan and resume the journey. So the work is being supervised, and consequently grows mounds by month. Four fifths of our work is among the native people'e. We are already in touch with Basutos, Zulus, Baralongs, Machangara's, Swynz es. Tongas, Mas homas, Xo-as, Fingo's, Mutebele's, Pondos and Griquas. There are approximately five million uncivilized people in what we call the 14th Episcopal district. One cannot doubt that they provide sufficient scope for all our agencies—men whose hearts are right—and money. As the result of correspondence and a prolonged official interview, we are now permitted to travel at will thru the Transvaal. We held the first Annual Conference since Bishop Turner organized the work in 1898, last month [Dec-mber, 1909] in Pretoria. To say the people, ministeral and lay, were happy, is to put it mildly. We had a fine session; we have also personally inspected the Witherforce and Lillian Derrick Institute, at Evaton, Transvaal. We must put three or four thousand dollars into it at the earliest moment. It is deeded [Continued on Page 5.] 10 RICH WHITE GIRL WEDS AN AFRO-AMERICAN BRIDE IS A LEADER IN CHURCH WORK AND PROMINENT IN SOCIAL LIFE Jericho, Vt., Jan. 76.—This little town is stirred from centre to circumference because Miss Louise Schillhammer, a prominent young white lady has taken it into her head to wed an Afro American.

MANY NEGRO FARMERS ATTEND CONFERENCE MANY NEGRO FARMERS ATTEND CONFERENCE THE UTICA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL DIRECT OUTCOME OF TUSKEGEE IDEA Concrete Examples Of What Industrial Education Is Doing for The People Of Mississippi- Prof. Holtzclaw The Moving Spirit-People Now Successfu Farmers Who Five Years Ago Were Living From Hand To Mouth-They Are Also Educating Their Children. (HORACE D. SLATTER.) Utica. Miss.; Jan. 15- Two thousand Negro farmers, their wives and children, attended the fourth annual session of the Negro Farmers' Conference, held here under the auspices of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute which came to a close last night. The conference is a part of the extension work of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, of which William H. Holtzclaw is principal. The Tuskegee idea in all its wholeness and efficacious teaching of self-help is not even more vividly shown as Tuskegee than it is here at Utica, for the establishment and maintenance of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute is a direct outcome of the Tuskegee teaching, its principal being a typical Tuskegee product. The concrete examples of successful farm life of these Negro farmers who attended the conference show how this institution, with all its work has become a very part of the life of these people. Ten years ago they lived from "hand to mouth," now through the influence of this institution, some have cleared themselves of d-bo, others have erected spacious modern homes for their families; while, all, more or less, are bending every energy to the task of obtaining a good education for their children, to the end that they may be good and useful citizens. Whatever complains may be lodged against industrial education, the accomplishments of such results, with this system would appear to all right thinking people as proof positive of its effectiveness. The institution with its principal and teachers, all young, energetic, self-sacrificing people, become a part of the community, and in their dignified way, living a life of Christian uprightness, make the educated people about feel that, after all there is some thing in an education worth having. The community school, the extension meetings, house-to-house visitation, and the farmers' conference, all these things have a great influence on the lives of the people, who come in immediate contact with the school. Attending this conference were a large number of visit us from various sections of the state, some engaged in the practice of law, others in business and all willing to lay aside their personal affairs in order to give a word of encouragement to their farmer brethren. Among them were such men as Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayon; Isaiah K. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayon the only all Negro town in the State; J. A. Martin, principal of the largest Negro city school in the State, from Jackson; L. K. Atwood, president of the Southern bank at Jackson; John Green, representing the Jeanes Rural School Fund; G. W. Williams, principal of an industrial school, a direct outgrowth of the Utica Institute, and many others. Intense interest was manifested in all of the conference work, including the conferences of the workers, Friday; and the farmers, Saturday; as well as the products exhibited from the horticultural and agricultural departments. Frank admissions as to their own shortcomings, of the things that contribute toward their failure were given by individuals as freely as the proud statements of successful accom pishments. "I made good money, but I ain't got no home, 'cause I done it all up," said one man and yet before that audience he determined to do more for his family than ever before. Strange enough, this same Continued on page 5. P. WHITE COOK LEAVES FORTUNE TO NEGR PROBATING OF WILL CONTESTED BUT THE COURT DECIDES FOR CLAIMANT. Now York, Jan. 15—Through a decision of Surrogate Thomas, Jam Edward Johnson, an Afro-American comes into possession of a count $80,000, left to him in a will a Bridget Torpy, an aged white Irish woman, who for many years was prominent cook in this city. The probating of the will was contested by a brother and two sisters, who presented a will purporting to have been executed several months later. In his decision the Surrogate said "I am of the opinion that the will of July, 1908, was properly prepared. The decision had control of this will. There was unquestionably an understanding between her and Johnson that if he would take care of her during her lifetime he would inherit her estate. She had worked with color people for more than a quarter of century and was well accustomed to them." Virginia Afro-Americans Protec Against The Appointment O "Lily-Whites" and President Appoints One Marshal. Washington, D.C., Jan. 18—Alarm delegation of Afro-Americans from Virginia saw President last week and asked him not to appoint to Virginia offices white men whose chief qualification lay in their antagonism of the Negro under nearly all circumstances. Mr. James I. Mitchell was the spokesman for the delegation. The President seemed to be impressed with the argument of the vicitors. The delegation consisted, beside the Chairman, of James M. Hanison and Dr J. E. Mills, of Norfolk Va.; J. Thomas Newsome, Dr. Phillip Scott, J. H Coleman, and Dr W. P Dickerson, of Newport News. The visitors seemed to be much pleased with their visit, but would not quote the President. On Monday of this week, the President appointed Clarence J. Smithers a well known "illy-white" Republican, as United States Marshall for one of the Virginia districts. Perhaps the visitors got glad soon. DR. J. WILSON BROWN BEAR As The Result Of Being Throw From His Carriage. (Special to the Atro-American Ledger Chicago, Ill., Jan. 17—Dr. J.

He understood that Dr. Brown left house in which he was to have lay with his bride to her, also his valuable medical library. Panic Seizes Employes in Philadelphia Factory. Shriftwist Makers Lose Their Heads When Fire Breaks Out, And Jump From The Fourth Floor, Though The Building Was Perfectly Equipped With Fire Escapes And Had A Rope At Ech Window—Blankets And Awnings Used As Emergency Fire Nets. Philadelphia (Special).—Five persons, four girls, and one man, leaped to their death in a panic caused by a fire in the four-story factory building at 208-10 Chancellor Street, near Second and Walnut Streets. Five others received injuries from which they will probably die, and many more were less seriously hurt. Nearly all of the dead and severely injured were employed in the shiitwaist factory of Joseph Chackin, which occupied part of the fourth floor of the building. Chackin himself was injured. One of his daughters is dead and another dying. A third daughter probably escaped a like fate by being at home attending the mother, who is critically ill. Chackin's force of operators was greatly reduced, owing to the shiitwaist strike. Otherwise it is believed the number of fatalities would have been even greater. The flames which originated in the elevator shaft on the fourth floor, are supposed to have been caused by the short circuiting of the electric motor which ran the elevator. Although the fire spread rapidly, the employees of the other establishments in the same building nearly all managed to escape in safety. The girls and men in Chachkin's factory became panic stricken and jumped wildly from the fourth-story window. Men on the street spread blankets and an awning to break their falls, but in the dense smoke that filled the narrow street many fell to the pavement before the improvised fire nets could be extended for them. The building was perfectly equipped with fire escapes and nearly every window had a rope. These proved useless, however, to the panic-striken shirtwaist makers. One man, instead of lowering the rope and sliding down it, jumped from the window with the loose end in his hands. He died with a fractured skull. Others had their hands burned on the bone by their rapid descent on the ropes. Reports that many others had lost their lives in the burned building were disproved by the fire marshal, who, when the flames had been extinguished, made careful search of the ruins and failed to discover any more bodies. The monetary loss is estimated at $50,000. MINISTERS KILL THEMSELVES. One Takes Poison For Love; Other, In Poor Health, Uses Pistol. Greenville, Ill.

The start for prison followed the denial by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of his petition for a new trial, on the ground of alleged misconduct by the jurors who found Walsh guilty. Child Died Of Alcoholism. New York (Special).—Eva Bonacci, 6 years old, died of a complaint which most frequently kills off derelicts on the Bowery—alcoholism.

"Provided, however, that this proclamation shall not take effect from and after March 31. 1910, but shall be null and void in the event that, at any time prior to the aforesaid date, satisfactory evidence shall be presented to the President that the government of Italy has made such change or changes in its present laws and regulations affecting American commerce in the kingdom and colonial possessions of Italy as to discriminate unduly in any way against such commerce and in the future event that a proclamation by the President of such fact, revoking the present proclamation, shall have been issued. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 18th day of January, A. D. 1910, of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fourth." The proclamation is signed both by the President and by Secretary of State Knox. Germany's Reply. Berlin (Special). — The German government cabled to Washington a reply to a memorandum recently received from the United States relating to the tariff on shipments between the two countries. While it does not accept the American wishes in various respects, and especially concerning the importation of meat, the German response is sent in the hope that it will be satisfactory and as all that the German government can do.

AND -THEN HALF -MILE OUT TO SEA Frenchmap Then Takes Another Passenger 12 Miles And Three More Companions On Short Trips. One At A. A Time—William K. Hearst Makes Journey — Dummy Bombs Dropped From Aloft — Up 1,000 Feet. Aviation Field, Los Angeles, Cal. (Special).—By carrying his wife in his biplane on a 22-mile cross-country trip from the Aviation Field to a point half a mile out over the ocean and back; by taking another passenger on a 12-mile flight over the fields, and by taking three other passengers, one at a time, on short flights, Louis Paulhan established new world's records for heavier-than-air flying machines. No other aviator has taken up so many passengers in one day and no other aviator has taken a woman for a high flight over fields and woods and villages and surf for more than 20 miles. Paulhan flew at an altitude of from 500 to 1,000 feet over Redondo Beach, Venice by the Sea and other resorts toward Point Firmin. There, no life buoys tied to the machine to save them from death in the waves should they fall. He made this trip and other perilous flights with case. The passenger carrying record is held by Orville Wright, who flew with Captain Englehardt for 30 minutes last week to leave the source. out Wright, our 23 minutes on his Paulhan few 33 minutes on his 22-mile trip with his wife. His 12-mile trip was made with Clifford B. Harmon, of New York. Besides these, he took up Mrs. Cortlandt F. Bishop, wife of President Bishop, of the Aero Club of America; Lieut. Paul Beck, of the United States Army Signal Corps; William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper publisher, and a newspaper reporter. The flights were made under perfect atmospheric conditions. Earlier in the afternoon the wind had been "puffy" and the other aviators had gone back to their tents after trying the course for a few lans. While the crowd waited patiently in the sunshine, Paulhan went over the parts of his machine. At 2.27 o'clock, after putting on his yellow cloak and helping his wife to her high perch, Paulhan flow out over the grandstand to give the big crowd greeting. With their cheers sounding faintly, he left the course on his next lap and headed for the ocean. In ten minutes he had become a blur against the sunlit clouds that curtained the Pacific. At 2.50 o'clock Paulhan again came in sight, and at 3 o'clock he landed directly in front of the grandstand. He was carried down the narrow aisle of frantic people so that all could get a good look at him. As he was in an amable mood, he was besieged with pleas to take up friends. He returned to his machine and began to run an aerial bus line. Lieutenant Beck on his trip took dummy bombs and attempted to drop them from a height to a measured place on the ground. This was a test made for the bomb the Army had in Lieutenant Beck successful in placing the bombs within the square, they did not land far away. Pauhan's last flight with Mr. Harmon was not made until 5 o'clock. He went in the direction of the ocean, but he did not go to the shore. He returned after circling the fields in the west, an approximate distance of 12 miles, made in a little more than 20 minutes. Separate Statehood Again. Washington, D. C. (Special).—For the third time the House of Representatives passed a bill giving separate Statehood to the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona. The vote was taken amid applause.

Lisbon (Special).—The Government denied that a conspiracy against the life of King Manuel had been discovered. Mrs. Francis Evans Dropped Dead From Shock. Elevator Shaft And Encreiling Staircase Of The Fashionable Hollingsworth Apartments, Philadelphia, Burst Into Flames—Mrs. Evans Rescued By Her Daughter, Mrs. A. S. King—Mrs. Hicks Jumps Into Snowbank—Seriously Injured. Philadelphia (Special)—Hemmed in by flames, which spread so rapidly that the building and adjoining residences were wrapped in flames in 10 minutes' time, scores of occupants of the fashionable Hollingsworth Apartments at 4313-15 Walnut Street, after thrilling struggles through fire and escaped by a single fire escape in the rear, while two women, one an invalid, unable to reach it, have probably perished and a third woman dropped dead of shock. Mrs. Frances A. Evans, 65 years old, who formerly lived on Madison Avenue, Baltimore, dropped dead from heart failure after being carried from the apartment house. Missing: Mrs. Sarah B. Carpenter, 60 years old, a paralytic, who had rooms on the third floor front. She was last seen by her nurse, Miss Worth, who jumped to the street, after making a futile attempt to carry her patient to the fire-escape. Mrs. David C.

She is with friends at 4419 Sanson Street suffering from internal injuries. Within less than 45 minutes after the first alarm the apartment house, which was seven stories high, was a total wreck. The loss is estimated at $150,000. The flames, which are supposed to have been caused by a defective fire, started in the basement in the rear of the building, occupied by 15 families. About 20 persons, mostly women, were in their rooms when the fire was first discovered. So rapid was the progress of the flames that when the alarm was sounded the elevator shaft and staircase which surrounds it were ablaze. The frightened women were obliged to make their way down a fire escape in the rear of the building. Several of those who were in the front rooms had their escape cut off. Mrs. Frances Evans, of Baltimore, who was visiting her daughter, Mrs. A. S. King, was assisted from the burning building by an elevator boy and her daughter, but died of shock when she reached a neighboring house. Mrs. King was almost overcome with smoke and was slightly burned. Mrs. L. Carpenter, who is missing, was a paralytic and was in her room on the third floor when the flames were discovered. Her nurse, Wiss Elva Worth, made ineffectual efforts to assist her from the building, but was finally obliged to save her own life by climbing from a window to an adjoining house. It is believed that Mrs. Carpenter perished. Mrs. Eaton was in her room when the fire occurred and has not since been seen. The escape of the occupants of the Hollingsworth was accomplished by much heroism on the part of women and girls. Miss Dorothy Bailey, aged 17 years, carried to the street her little brother, Francis, and her niece, an infant a day old. She also aided her mother and the baby's mother to escape. In all, about a dozen women jumped from the third floor. Architects Raise The Fee. New York (Special)—Even the architects want more money. Because of an increase in office expenses, the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects has decided to raise its minimum rate on domestic work from 5 per cent. to 6 per cent. on the cost of the structure designed. This decision is in ratification of a step taken by the American Institute in 1908. Seven Firemen Injured.

Survivor Then Writes to His Wife and the Police. Ferris Says He And His Opponent Dodged Around The Boiler Blazing Away At Each Other—So Far As Can Be Learned The Men Quarreled Over Their Work. New York (Special)—The tale of a battle with revolvers between two watchmen in a store at Broadway and Twenty-first Street is told by the survivor, John Ferris, who was familarly called "Old Pop" Ferris. He is 52 years old. The man he killed was William Woods, 70 years old. After the fight Ferris wrote a letter to the police and one to his wife; but he was not arrested until the janitor went to the store next morning. So far as can be learned, the men quarreled over their work, and later, when in liquor, fought with their fists and then with revolvers, until Woods dropped dead. Ferris was unscathed. He said he dodged the bullets fired by the older man. The shooting was done in the engine room in the basement of the store. Here, according to Ferris, the watchmen shut themselves up together and blazed away at close quarters, dodging and running, trying to get the drop on each other and playing hide and seek around the boilers. The dead man leaves a widow and three children living at 22 Twelfth Street, Whitestone, Long Island. Ferris lives at 590 East One Hundred and Sixty-seventh Street, and has a wife and two boys, the latter being employed at Tiffany's. This is what Ferris told the police: "Woods was late in getting to the store. He should have been there at 6 o'clock, but didn't get there until 7:20 o'clock. When I asked him to pitch in and help with the work in the house, he said 'Go to' told him to brace up and get a move on, and he went on to tell me in a number of ways that he didn't intend to lift a finger. I got mad at his cussness and went out for a while. When I got back he went out. "About 11 o'clock we started the argument again, hotter than before, and by and by the old man drew off and gave me a stiff one in the jaw. I boxed his ears, and then he drew his gun. Before he could fire I was on the jump, because I knew he would shoot. "He blazed away, and I had to fight for my life. I drew my gun and hit him with the first shot. That didn't stop him, and I had to shoot again, and then again. He dropped, and I picked up his gun." Two revolvers were turned over to the police by Ferris. One of them, which he said was his own, was of .32 caliber; the other was a .38 caliber and had four emptied chambers. After the shooting·Ferris very quietly sat down and wrote to police headquarters, setting forth what had occurred and asking that some one be sent to arrest him and take charges of the body. He also wrote to his wife, and then went out to mail the letters. PRESIDENT TAFT'S Asks That Ballinger's Recom- Law---Executive Request Without Waiting For Speaks Out Boldly In Defense Of Conserving National Resources And Clears Away All Charges That Have Been Made Against Him—Wants Lands He Ordered Withdrawn Validated — Desires More Laws With Teeth In Them —Ignores Waterways. THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS. All the principal land statutes were enacted more than a quarter of a century ago. Problem is how to save, how to utilize, how to conserve and still develop. The importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated. Lands should be classified according to their value or use. The power of the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw from the operation of existing statutes tracts of land, the disposition of which under such statutes would be detrimental to the public interest, is not clear or satisfactory. Productive powers of the soil should have the attention of scientists, that they may be conserved and enriched. Washington, D. C. (Special) The President sent his conservation Killed Warming Himself. Chicaco (Special)—While warming himself at a manhole near the Polk Street Railroad Station, an unidentified homeless man was killed by losing his balance and plunging down among the numerous exhaust pipes. He was suffocated by escaping steam before assistance arrived. The man, who was thinly clad, became dissatisfied with the amount of heat coming out of the manhole, and opened the iron grating to get the full benefit of the steam. Police Still Hunting Man Who Shot Boys. Robert Lomas Believed By Police To Have Been Mistaken For Nassib Shibley, Foster-Brother Of The Other Boy Shot—Nassib's Father, Who Killed Wife And Himself In 1908, Had Persistently Fought Certain Syrian Societies. New York (Special)...A vengeful Syrian plot, which partially miscarried, may be the explanation of the act of the seeming madman who wantonly shot down two six-year-old boys coasting on Washington Heights, killing one of them and fatally wounding the other. Such meager clues as the police had were followed up diligently in the effort to run down the "shaggy dark man" described by the panic-striken boys among whom the murderous stranger appeared. But while still working on the theory that the man was a homicidal lunatic, the police are giving attention to the alternative theory that both Robert Lomas, the dead boy, and Arthur Shibley, who was shot, were the victims of a plot by enemies of the Shibley family. On this theory young Lomas is supposed to have been mistaken for Nassib Shibley, an adopted son of Arthur Shibley, Sr. Nassib Shibley's father killed himself and his wife in 1908 because of domestic differences. He was an attorney and had persistently fought certain Syrian secret societies. His brother Arthur adopted his son, who was not in the crowd of boys among whom the assassin appeared. It is assumed, however, that the stranger, believing young Lomas to be the son of the dead attorney, killed the boy and then shot his intended victim's foster brother. The condition of the six-year-old Shibley boy, who is in Washington Heights Hospital, grew worse instead of better, as the physicians had hoped, and Dr. C. Sichler, the head physician, said that he thought in order to save the little fellow's life it would be necessary to transfuse into his veins blood from some healthy person. When Mrs. Shibley, the boy's mother, heard what Dr. Sichel though, she said that she would undergo the operation. She was told that transfusion would not be resorted to unless it was absolutely necessary. Coroner I. L. Felnberg went to the hospital to get the ante-mortem statement of the Shibley boy. The statement the boy made to the coroner differed somewhat from the one he made shortly after he was shot. The little fellow said that the man who did the shooting had called to Robbie Lomas and himself and told them that he had something to show them. They went to him, Arthur said, and then the man began to shoot at them with two pistols. Another thing, the boy said, was that the man wore spectacles, and that he seemed respectable. The man, he said, followed him a short distance after the shooting, but turned and went in another direction when he saw Arthur going toward Edgecombe Avenue over the rocks. There are now in the Internal Revenue Bureau 284,000,000 stamps, valued at $56,914,000. message to Congress Mr. Taft asks for new land laws which have been drawn by Secretary Bullinger. The message also asks Congress to validate withdrawals by the Secretary of the Interior, and points out the difficulty of enacting laws that will both conserve and develop. Separation of the soil from the minerals beneath it is urged as well as laws to prevent monopoly both in minerals and water powers. The President calls attention to the need of conserving the fertility of the soil, which work, he says, is more important than saving woods, waters or minerals. He recommends a loan of $3,000,000 to complete irrigation projects already commenced and remarks upon the distressing condition of those settlers who have taken up land and the irrigation delayed. Failure to complete these projects, he says, is "in effect a breach of faith." And the people need relief from their distressed condition. Discussing Inland waterways, the President strongly recommends the improvement of the Ohio River, from Pittsburgh to Cairo, and of the upper Mississippi. The former project would cost $63,000,000. An experimental reforestation at the head of navigable streams by the Forest Service is recommended, and a new law is urged on small areas not included in the national forests. Mac C. Wood Dicharged. New York (Special)—The charges of forgery and perjury against Miss Mae C. Wood were dismissed in General Sessions Court here and Miss Wood was discharged from custody. She was indicted in 1007, following the trial of her suit against ex-United States Senator T. C. Platt, who, she alleged, married her in this city.

BALTIMORE, JAN. 22, 1910 good many people have been moring for "real good, old-fash- ed winter." it is to be hoped that far the "Weather Man" has been ad to them. Governor Crothers' economic slate has wiped cleared by the as- sants for legislative jobs. It will all probability stay clean the bal- ce of the season. It is said "that all things come to ose who wait." In this class are adocates of the colored schools placed under the supervision colored supervisors. This seems be coming our way. Now to good supervisors and good su- vision. General John Gill has stirred up a arnest nest on the oyster question, and Maryland and Virginia oyster ople are after his scalp. As for us our house, Maryland oyster are enough for us, when we can them. But oh you Virginia sters. It seems that the most Maryland legislature is doing these days is byurning. About the only other thing it has done is the selecting of United State Senator and State treasurer, both of which was a foreone conclusion. Now if it willst adjourn and go home after issuing the necessary appropriations and a decent election law, all ill be forgiven. Will the Maryland Legislature do the kindness to drop all mention another disfranchising, amendent and give us a little time to eat from the other one? We pe so. As has been truly said by several writers, "It only serves to lay up an agitation which does not her help the colored people or the nite people. Farmers are containing of suffering for want of workers largely on account of this antinual agitation of the suffrage test, and if it keeps up, there will be many farmers unable to keep their farms going for the want of efficient help. For your sakes as all as ours, gentlemen drop the latter and let it rest. Only the politicians want it anyway. Nobody else is clamoring for it. Afro-American editors are getting to the limelight in real good opinion, all of which goes to show at they are making substantial progress along race, if not along newspaper lines. But to a careful server they are moving along path lines, and it now only needs to said that they are making process along money making lines, will be well. Among the ways of progress to be observed, are Philadelphia Tribune is defended libel suit of Rev. W. Montrose nuton, pastor of Bethel. A. M. Church, Philadelphia, for libel. Tribune feels that it is slight but Rev. Thornton will be a wiser if not a better man after the suit is decided. Brother Harry Smith of the Cleveland Gazette, is having a fight on his hands with the Governor of the State and threatens to do all he can to down him. The boys are hard at it and we are with them. Come on boys. STATES' RIGHTS. Every little while the slimy and hideous form of the old serpent called States' Rights wiggles out from its native hell where it was consigned by the Civil War and drags it repulsive form into the public gaze, writhing and hissing its venom against the National Constitution and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The latest effort of the old serpent to discredit the National Constitution is now in progress at Annapolis, where a few small politicians who have not sufficient brains to hold two and two together until they find out that they make four, are trying to revive the black laws of the State. Those fellows who have not learned that in republics majorities rule, whether they be Democratic or kepubl can, ought to expatriate themselves and go into some of the monarchical forms of government where government is lagrely in the hands of one man. It is a remarkable thing, that a set of men calling themselves "Democrats," a name of which they are entirely unworthy, should proceed by trick ballots and any other form of chicanery to foist themselves into places of trust and honor, and then betray their utter unfitness for the positions to which they have climbed by all sorts of tricks known to balloting. It is certainly remarkable that any community should elect a man to go to the Maryland legislature who is so poorly informed on matters of national government, and the American spirit, as to indicate that he believe, that because the Maryland Legislature did not ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to the National Constitution, that it is therefore inoperative in this State. Was not the amendment submitted to the legislatures of the several States, and was it not adopted by the necessary three-fourths, and was it not on 30th day of March, 1870, proclaimed by the President of the United States as a part of the National Constitutions? It seems to us that some of these fellows, who somehow have gotten into the Maryland Legislature to make laws, ought to be called home by their constituency, and made to read the history of the United States and Brice's American Commonwealth, so as to save any further disgrace to their constituency by the expression of their unsophisticated opinions. Gentlemen of the Maryland Legislature, learn today, if you have not run onto the stubborn truth before, "States' Rights," that awful phantom of the past, the fomenter of strife, treason, fratricide and rebellion, is dead;" shot to death on a thousand battlefields of the Civil War, and let us hope that its hideous shape may never rise from the stygian stream of horrid conflict where the victory of federal arms consigned it. Learn again gentlemen that other stubborn fact, that the national government is just a little bigger that the State of Maryland, and it is the opinion of many who perhaps are as well versed in matters of State as yourselves, that even though Maryland did not vote to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment she will have to accept its validity, for it was adopted by the necessary three fourths of the legislatures of the States and Congress, and proclaimed by the President. Let us away therefore with this small talk about States' Rights. If you want to put another amendment on the track, gentlemen trot her out and we will show you just how badly it will be beaten. AN ADVANCE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The present Board of Education has added to its many good endeavors towards our people, by the recent decision to elect two colored men as group principals. We are certain that all of our people sincerely appreciate this action of the School Board. The colored schools will be divided into as many group, and these two principals will supervise and direct the work in each. It means increased responsibility, as well as increased pay, and we devoutly hope that wise selections may be made in each case. Possibly; it is timely, just here for a word in general about our schools which have been in mind for some time. Down in Virginia where they do not, in all cases, pay such good salaries to colored teachers, they have magnificent results, which while not manifested in so many of the new fan-dangle frills, issued in good solid character, and in beautiful manners of the children who at- tend many of the public schools. Hampton and the many other industrial schools, partly, if not wholly under religious influences, have greatly influenced for good the whole public school system of that State. Aud, it is in this same particular we could wish the same influence exerted upon the great body of those who teach the Negro children of this city. There is hardly a person who goes out from Hampton to teach, who does not find himself or herself an active missionary in the homes of the parents whose children he teaches. And this purely of his own will, as one of the results of the training he has received at that institution. It is scarcely necessary for us to point out the beneficent results of such eminently wise and helpful-conduct upon the part of the teacher. Mutual love springs up and matures between both the teacher and parents, and because of the love and confidence thus generated the Negro teacher becomes an important factor in transforming the whole life of that community among Negroes. This is the particular phase of the education, rather than the industrial which have rendered the graduates from Hampton, Tuskegee and kindred institutions so very helpful. When it is remembered that the city of Baltimore expands large sums of money in paying fairly good salaries to our colored teachers, we should be anxious that the community should receive back the full-t and most wholesome returns for the investment made. When the fight was made some years ago for the substitution of colored teachers in place of the white teachers who were in our schools, the argument which had much power with fair minded men was, that an army of educated colored men and women in the colored schools would be brought into the closest contact with the home life of the masses of the race, and in their various religious organizations, and the sum total of this endeavor would greatly effect the moral progress of the race. We have reason to doubt whether we are doing along this line all that could be reasonably expected of us. We have good hope that with this new move of colored supervising principals, that the great body of our teachers may be lovingly and effectively reached and impressed with the necessity of doing more good work along the line already intimated. Of course the great power to be depended upon, in such work, is moral suasion and genuine love for the uplift of the race. But while this is true, there may be some who may not be so easily reached by such argument. As a last resort there is an argument which we feel sure the most indifferent will appreciate, it may be styled a selfish reason. There was a time when but few white persons were anxious to teach in Negro schools. As people become more generally educated in the larger and broader sense of education, there is less and less discrimination upon the part of white persons to teach in the colored schools, where the pay is satisfactory. And with this increasing willingness on their part, is the disposition to make themselves as agreeable as possible to the patrons of the schools, even to the point of calling on them once in awhile to inform them with respect to the progress of their children. With this condition the Negro teacher must reckon. If by increasing indifference he looks upon his job as a mere business arrangement, and regard his work as over in the school room, and if the parents need any further encouragement or information, they must seek him at "parents' meeting" or at his residence, he ought not to be surprised if there gradually comes into being a general feeling of indifference with respect to the employment of Negro teachers, and perfect satisfaction with the employment of fair minded white persons, who value so highly the means of making an honest living, that they find a pleasure in periodically visiting the patrons of their schools so as to keep in touch with them. How accommodating are many of the white insurance men, representatives of various enterprises, in their dealing with Negro people? We are in the presence of a mighty fact, and unless the Negro teacher can demonstrate that it is positively to the interest of the community that he should be employed, he can hardly hope to continue to hold his position on race sentiment. BE GOOD GENTLEMEN. "We would remind the Baltimore Times and the Savannah (Ga.) Independent that unless hereafter when quoting us, verbatim, in their columns they fail to give due recognition to. The Freeman that we shall adjudge them guilty of "editorial plagiarism," and, accordingly on the next offense, we shall part company with them from our X list. That's all! Indianopolis Free ment, Not Race. The needs of Provident Hospital were fully set forth by Drs. D. Grant Scott and W. T. Carr, Jr., at the monthly meeting of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance last Monday. "During the 14 years of the existence of the hospital," Dr. Carr said, "Provident Hospital has treated over 30,000 patients. The need of such an institution for our people when you take in consideration the fact that there are only three hospitals in the Northwestern section of the city, two of which do not particularly cater to colored people, and one, Union Protestant Infirmary, does not at all. With a new building and enlarged facilities for carrying on our work we would be of great service to the race. We could carry on settlement work such as is carried on by white nurses, who visit the homes of dispensary patients and endeavor to teach them how to live. An up-to-date training school for nurses would be established so that every girl could get the requisite training needed in caring for the sick, and be able to teach our people how to live. "I do not believe that the large death rate from consumption among our people is due so much to racial characteristics as it is from environment, and that makes it doubly necessary that we should have every facilities in teaching our people hygienic living." Dr. Scott spoke in a similar strain, and emphasizing the greater advantages to be had in a hospital controlled by colored physicians over one controlled by whites. The Provident Hospital receives $1,500 a year from the State, but has not received an appropriation from the city for over ten years. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Institution Along Tuskegee Lines To Be Established—Dr. Lyon Enthusiastic About Project. As a result of a conference at Tuskegee Institute between Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop I. B. Scott, who has charge of the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in West Africa, and Dr. Ernest Dyon, United States Minister to Liberia, a normal and industrial school modeled along Tuskegee lines will be established in Liberia. Minister Lyon, who has just returned from the conference at Tuskegee, speaks enthusiastically of the proposed school, declaring that it will be a boon to the industrial and agricultural interests of Liberia. Dr. Lyon said he had never had a better opportunity to guage the magnitude of the work being done at Tuskegee, and that his visit was a revelation to him. While there he and Bishop Scott attended the annual reception of the faculty to Dr. and Mrs. Washington. This reception is regarded as the event of the year for the people who live in Tuskegee. Minister Lyon speaks in the highest terms of the work being done for the race by Dr. Washington and declares he needs a rest, suggesting an ocean voyage as a good tonic for the great educator. CONFIRMATION AT Bishop Murray Administers Holy Communion And Confirms A Class Of Twenty-five.—Church Crowed To Doors. On last Sunday morning, at 11 A. M. the Rt. Rev. John G. Murray Bishop Co-adjutor of Maryland, visited St. James church, Park avenue and Preston street and confirmed a class of 12 males and 13 females, celebrated and administered Holy Communion to a large number of communicants, and preached an admirable and most helpful sermon. The musical feature of the service unusually impressive under the superb training and direction of Mrs. Lottie Ringgold, the musical directress of that church. The church, as was to be expected, was crowded in every nook and corner. Bishop Murray, is a magnificent and large hearted, man, who, with ease and grace easily identifies himself with his people, irrespective of the thing we call color. It is not strange that the people love their Bishop and that the Bishop has the highest estimation of Rev. George F. Bragg, the rector of the church, and the capability of the members of his congregation. The offering for the Bishop was the highest ever received on a similar occasion, amounting to $22.65. Grand Lodge Attends Services.—School Of Instruction Visited By Washington Brethren.—Brother Doughty Entertains. Things are moving quietly in the ranks of the Brethren of the Square nothing of an exciting nature going on at present. On Sunday evening of January 10th, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. and A. Masons attended services at Trinity A. M. E. Church. Linden avenue and Biddle street. The sermon, a very interesting one, was delivered by Rev. Brother D. G. Hill, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Saratoga street near Gay. Quite a large number attended the services under the direction of Most Worshipful Thomas A. Jones, Grand Master. The collection was a good one, amounting to over seventy dollars. The School of Instruction, last week was visited by Grand Commander, Dr. John W. Turner, and Brother James G. Bampfield, Sect. General H. E., of Washington. Addresses were delivered by the visiting brethren. On Sunday evening of last week, Brother Charles Doughty, gave a luncheon at his residence 227 Myrtle avenue, in honor of the Rt. Eminent Grand Commander, Sir. John W. Turner, of Washington, and Past Rt. Eminent Commander, Sir. James O. Bampfield, grand recorder of Knights Templar of the District of Columbia. Among those present were; Thomas H. Smith, Rt. Eminent Grand Commander, of Knights Templar of Maryland, Charles E. Jackson, E. C. of Rising Sun Commandery; Grand Master, Thomas A. Jones; Past Grand Master, J. L. H. Smith; Joseph P. Evans, grand Senior warden; W. E. Tilghman, grand secretary and and W. T. McGuinn. "WATERMELON KING" In An Interview With An Afro-American Man Says That The Outlook For Next Year Is Very Promising—Likely To Buy Residence In Florida In Order To Spend Winter Months. Mr. P. I). Blackwell, the "Watermelon King." who has been in Florida for several weeks, is home again for a short stay. Mr. Blackwell, in an interview with an Afro-American Man, stated that the outlook for the coming year was very encouraging. He has increased his acreage this year, and most of it is being grown on his own farms. He has recently made several very profitable real estate deals, and is looking for ward to building a residence in Florida, where he will in the future, probably send his winters. Mr. Blackwell stated that there is quite an influx of Western people who are purchasing property in Florida, and the newcomers, are of a character that will add much to the improvement of the State and racial conditions. The new men are strong and vigorous, and if the influx continues, as is very probable, the State will greatly profit by their presence. Mr. Blackwell was questioned as to the reports of his marriage to one of Baltimore's best known school teachers, and denied it most vigorously. He stated that outside of the fact that he had walked home with her once or twice from church, of which both of them, are members, there is absolutely no reason for the rumor connecting his name with this most estimable lady. He said it was most unfair to the lady, that gossip should keep up the rumor and spread it as if it were true. Mr. Blackwell, also stated that Dame Kumor had had married or almost married several times, once in New York and two or three times in this city. Up to the present he is not even contemplating such a thing as matrimony, and he, would be glad if the gossips would give him a rest. He will return to Florida at an esrly date and make his preparations for the coming season, which he expects to be one of the best, if not the best, he has ever had. Reports At Quarterly Conference Of John Wesley Church Show Progress—The Return Of Rev. Dr. Gaines Is Asked. The fourth quarterly conference of the members of John Wesley M. E. Church, Sharp and Montgomery streets, was held at the church, Wednesday evening of last week; the district superintendent, Rev. Joseph Wheeler, presiding. Reports submitted showed that the church was in a fine condition financially and spiritually. Over $5,690 was reported as being raised and paid out by the stewards and trustees during the conference year. The enrollment of the Sunday School was reported as 500, with an average attendance of 275, the Epworth League work was shown be in a flourishing condition, and the newly organized chapter of the Methodist Brotherhood, was stated to be admirably succeeding. There was a class of 23 members added to the church the second Sunday in the month, and over 50 conversions have taken place since the first of the year. The present indebtedness of the church is about $21,000. The conference re-elected all of the various officers of the church, and voted for the return for another year of the pastor, Rev. W. H. Gaines. The Individual Communion cups will be used at the church hereafter. ATHLETIC NOTES. BY W. H. J. BECKETT. Notes for this column addressed to Mr. Beckett, care of this office, will receive careful attention.—Ed. Outdoor sports are near at hand. Baseball will again occupy the minds of the fans. Track work should be given consideration. Boys get in condition. Now is the time for the organization of a baseball league. Get your permits and be ready to perfect plans. Are you in quest of health? The ideal conditions of health require purity of air, pure and proper use of food, and a proper balance between mental and physical activity, rest and sleep. Trained supervision is needed. A training class for instructions is being conducted at the High School, Thursday evenings. If you are interested and desire to teach during the summer in the playgrounds now is the time to register. The playground movement means fresh air and healthful exercises for hundreds of children who would not otherwise get it; its means relief for overworked mothers; it means useful training for the children, training of the mind and the hand, and the acquiring of useful habits. A healthy mind in a healthy body is the motto of the Polish Sokols, or "Turner," an organization similar to the Y. M. C. A. They have their system of gymnastics and athletics, with the aim of developing a strong, vigorous race. Why not the Negro awake and provide means for physical development. We want playgrounds not only for the summer but all the year round. We want them for all classes of boys and girls. They should have swimming pools, baseball grounds, and in winter there should be ice for skating and sled tracks. They would keep the children off the streets, endangering our sisewalks for pedestrians. We want tennis grounds, basketball fields, and gymnasiums, in fact everything that will keep the boys and girls out of temptations. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and the Mutual Life Insurance Company, are exhibiting a practical interest in the health of their policy holders from a business standpoint. It pays. Is it not practically true that interest in the health and welfare of employees, or others with whom we come in contact pays any and all of us? practical applied Christianity may prove to be identical with natural religion and good sound business judgment. MEN'S DAY A SUCCESS Winchesterites Turn out in Large Num- • bers to Help Men. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Winchester Va. Jan 19 - The Men's Day services at the Freewill Baptist church, proved to be one of the most successful meetings held in this church for sometime. Mr. F. Martin was master of ceremonies. Miss Emily E. Smith, has gone to Johnstown for the winter. Charles Barnett has returned from Johnstown after a visit to her family. Mrs. Lavina Jefferson and Mrs. Howard Robinson are sick at their homes. Mrs. L. A Carter, who has been quite ill is improving, (Continued from Page 1) Booker has charge of the department of music. She is the daughter of the president. She is one of the finest music teachers in the school. She is graceful, courteous, and works after her business. It means so much to the young girls that she can see what Niss Booker done and they can do it if they will. I like that saying "Life is what we make it." It would not be out of place for me to mention Robert Booker, who has charge of a grocery store. It is developing him into a business man. Miss Vir. ianna Briggs has charge of the department of domestic science. She is from Normal. I am coming this way again, and then I will also tell you about the teachers, Miss Johnson Miss Watson, Miss Bedgood and others. Then I will tell how the school has grown from a school to a college, and now getting into a university. The last time I wrote to you I was in Camden, Ark., stopping with Rev. T. Sandefur, I have been to many places, but never had so many invitations to eat in all my life, and Dr. Sandefur accepted of them all. Had breakfast at 7 o'clock, another breakfast at 10, dinner at 12 another dinner at 1:30, supper at 6 o'clock, and a lunch at 11 o'clock. Now what do you think of this? Rev Sandefur is president of the State Sunday School convention. I saw many things there to inspire me. He is a great man. Then to Fordyce, and then to Hot Springs. When in Pine Bluff last fall I was invited by Revs. Lovelace and Watson to come and meet the people. Rev. Lovelace wanted me to be with him the first night and if there was any left of me he wanted Dr. S. E. J. Watson to have it. Well I reached town Thursday afternoon, met Rev. Lovelace. I saw him first, so he could not get out of the way. He declared he had forgotten all about me. I believe he was right, for just look who I am—nothing. He did not bother about me, not even asked me to have something to eat after riding so far. I called up Rev. S. E. J. Watson, who told me to come right on to his house. He soon had fire in a great big room and told me it was mine all the time I was in town. "Have you been to supper?" asked Watson. "I have not sit," then he offered to give me a quarter to get my supper, because they were through, and did not have anything I could eat. I refused the quarter, but went out and got my things together, then I went to call on some Hot Springs people. It was not long before Mrs. Mahala Trotter, had me eating. She runs a hard dry and is making me drink. She has erected a fine house for it, erected a living room for it, and has made additions to her home, all by washing and ironing. She knows how to do the work and gets it to do. The next thing brings me back to Rev. S. E. J. Watson. He came to the state a few months ago from Texas, accepting the church at Hot Springs. He is one of the best trained preachers in the state and he is a full graduate from Bishop college. His wife is an educated woman also, and she is teaching kindergarten in her home. It is a busy life in that house. Rev. Lovelace is a leader and a preacher. Time will not permit me to say more about him. I am now in Little Rock en route to New Orleans. You may hear from me again. I am getting ready to come to Maryland prior to my going abroad. Now several people invited me last year and I did not reach them. I wish they would write to me soon sending letters to 307 St. Paul St. Baltimore, Md., and editor Murphy will send it to me. I want to go to see the people who wanted me last Spring. The diary mail is going to Helena. Ark., care Rev. B. C. Morris. Death has removed another noted character in Chicago. I shall tell you about her next week. The world in its fraternal relation will regret to hear of the death of Mrs. Irene Camp. [Continued from Page 1.] to the African Methodist Episcopal Church in fee. I have seen the transfer deeds; we have twelve acres of fertile soil. "Every prospect pleases." Since January 1900 we have covered over seven thousand miles in trying to get the needs and probabilities of the work in the District and have not stood upon the manner of our going. man has successfully educated his three children two of them hold two visible positions in Southern schools. Another man, Henry Stubblefield, detailed now after ten years in debt, as covenanted, with his wife that they would work "theirse's" and now after our years hard work, they have a nice home, 120 acres of land, with all payments made up to date. Thus, in simple words, the story of their experience was told. The boll weevil, too, contributes to their trials and misfortunes. But one poor man speaking of the situation, declared, "I can't agwine to 'low de boll weevil nor de white folks to run me' way from my farm." Another, [Name] PROF. W. H. HOLTZCLAW. man. Thomas Young, confessed that for a long time that he wanted to save five hundred dollars before he would open a bank account, and when he finally came to his sens. he began an account with ten dollars. Now he has a 314 acre farm, worth on an average of ten dollars per acre. Strugg and torrible resolutions were adopted by the entire conference, in which the State of Mississippi was congratulated upon the increase of the development of its agricultural resources with particular reference to the era of good feeling, now prevailing between the races. The black people pledg d 'themselves to use their best influence for the continuance of these relations. SPECIAL NOTICE. To all Members of the C. Y. W. C. A.

GRIFFIN.—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Henrietta Griffin, wife of the late Wm. Griffin, who departed this life 2 years ago today, Jan. 21st., 1908. Gone but not forgotten. How sad this day two years ago. When mother, dear, she died; How said our lives without her Words can never describe. Mother, dear mother, we miss you Since to heaven you have gone; You prayed, God blessed your children, And bring them to the throne. We know that you are happy, And that God answers prayers; We mourn our loss, dear mother. And will try to meet you there.

BISHOP SCOTT TO SPEAK Noted Prelate And Minister Lyon To Address Meeting In The Interest Of African Missions. Bishop I. B. Scott, who has charge of the work of the M. E. Church in West Africa, and Dr. Ernest Lyon, will be the speakers at a public mass mei ring at Sha p Street Church, Monday evening in the interest of the Africa. Diamond Jubilee Fued of $300,000, which the M. E. church is raising in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the work of the denomination in West Africa. Rev. M. J. Naylor will preside. There will be no admission fee charged to the mass meeting. Bishop Scott will be the guest of local Methodist ministers at a luncheon at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church in the afternoon from 2 to 5 P. M. FOR A GIRL'S PARTY. A mother writing to me to ask about giving a birthday party for her eighteen-year-old daughter omits to mention whether the festivity is to be in the afternoon or evening. For a girl of that age I think the evening is better. She is quite old enough for entertainments held at night, and such celebrations help t-initiate her into the usages of good society and in the art of entertaining. For such an affair the invitations should be in the form of notes, written by the mother, for the girl is not supposed to do the inviting, her guests being bidden for her. The mother writes directly to the girls and boys she wishes to come, and may use her own discretion as to whether or not she mentions the fact of her daughter's birthday being the reason for the party. Should she do so, it is taken for granted that the guests will send some sort of gift, if only flowers. For this reason some parents prefer not to have the birthday known previously, not caring to put their guests in the position of being obliged to send presents. For young folks cards are a congenial way of passing the evening, and there may be tables for both hearts and euchre. The tables should be arranged before the guests arrive. Partners may be assigned by name cards placed at the tables where each guest is to sit. These little cards may be bought inexpensively. They make a pretty souvenir of the evening. There should be a first and a consolation prize for both boys and girls, and a second prize, if the guests are many in number. Some hostesses now prefer to have one prize for the highest score at each table, omitting the consolation. Tallies and pencils must be provided for each player. It is nice to have a little dish of candy and another of nuts on each table. If cards grow tiresome "nonsense" games make mirth for all. To play these, one person starts a story of nonsense and, after a couple of minutes, stops in the middle of the sentence, calling the name of the person who is to continue. No excuse for getting out of talking is to be permitted, and the jumble that ensues in the attempt to carry on the thread is extremely funny. At the close, which comes when every guest has been called upon once a prize may be awarded to the one considered to have done the best, the award being made by vote. If there is a piano, and any one can play, informal dancing will afford amusement to the young folk. Supper may consist of salad, oysters, ice cream and cakes, with candles, sandwiches and nuts. These should all be placed on the dining room table, which must be decorated with ribbons and candles with colored shades and flowers, as the ingenuity of the hostess can devise. The boys should serve the girls. It is well to have a maid in the room *p* remove the soiled dishes. The mother is in evidence throughout the evening. She is with her daughter to receive the guests, after which duty she spends the evening in an endeavor to have each guest enjoy him or herself. — Rosanna Schuyler, in the Washington Star. The mines of Butte, Mont, have a combined pay, roll of $3,000,000 a REMOVING STAINS FROM IVORY. The following is a good method of removing stains from ivory: Wash it well in soap and water and place it, while wet, in the sunshine. Wash it several times in the same way for two or three days, keeping it in the sun, and it will soon become white. Another method is to immerse the articles for a short time in water acidulated with sulphuric acid or in combination with chloride of lime or chlorine. Rinse, wash with soapy water, rinse again, and again dry in the sun—Everyday Housekeeping. LACE CURTAINS. Came across the way to clean lace curtains by dry process the other day and will pass it along as there may be others who shrink from the task of laundrying curtains as much as I do. Claims they will look like new after this treatment even if discored with dust and smoke, and they will certainly last longer than if put through the wash. Take down the curtains and shake them free from dust; spread a sheet on the floor and lay one curtain smoothly on it; cover thickly with corn meal, lay on another curtain and again cover with the meal. Continue until all the curtains are covered with the meal, then roll up loosely and lay away for a few days. When wanted, unroll, brush off the meal and hang on the line in the wind and sun for half a day. When hung up against the window they will look like new.—New Haven Register. RID THE HOUSE OF FLEAS. That the flea is elusive is providential, but that the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture in Washington has hit upon a plan to circumvent the irritating litte insect is not generally known. According to Van Norden—the World Mirror, the government has discovered a method by which any housekeeper may rid herself of a visitation within a very short time. Fill a glass three fourths with water, on top of which pour about an inch of olive oil, then place a night float (a little wick inserted in a cardboard disk or in a cork disc) in the center of the oil. Place the tumbler in the center of a soup plate filled with strong soapsuds. The wick should be lighted at night on retiring, or may be used in any dark room. As the soup-plate-soapsuds traps placed on the floor of the room it does not interfere with the sleeper, and the fleas which are on the floor are attracted to the light. For outbuildings, such as barns, etc., a large milk pan may be used, and instead of using olive oil and a glass, a stable lantern may be placed in the center of the pan, while instead of soapsuds a sum of kerosene may be put on the water in the milk pan. This method will rid a house of the pests, in a few nights. RECIPES. Barberry Jelly.—Stem the barberries and put on in water enough to cover on the stove and boil until soft; strain through fine strainer and put back to boil about 10 minutes, then add cup of sugar to cup of juice and boil 10 minutes; pour into jelly tumblers; put it sun for a while. Quince Honey.—Wash 3 large quinces, grate on a coarse grater, leaving out the seeds; make a syrup of 3 pounds granulated sugar and 1 pint water, add the grated quince and juice of 1 lemon; cook 15 minutes and bottle. Canned Grapes.—Wash your grapes and put them in the jars. Stand in a warm place. Make a syrup of sugar and water, 2 cups full of sugar to a quart of water. Let boil, then pour over grapes; pack and seal as you do your fruit. They are like fresh grapes. Andover Fudge.—Melt 2 squares chocolate, add 4 cups sugar and 1 cup cream, let boll hard for 7 minutes, then add butter size of an egg and 2 teaspoonfuls vanilla; remove from fire and heat 10 minutes with egg beater; pour in buttered pans and let cool. Splice Cookies.—Dissolve 1 teaspoonful soda in a cup of molasses, cream 1 cup sugar and 1 cup shortening, and 1 cup thick sour milk, 1 teaspoonful cloves, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg, then the molasses and soda; add flour to roll as soft as possible. Escaloped Tomatoes.—Over the bottom of a deep buttered dish scatter a layer of bread crumbs, then lay on a few slices of tomato, a little hard-boiled egg chopped fine, salt, pepper, a few drops of lemon juice with small bits of butter. Fill the dish in this way, finishing with buttered bread crumbs, bake for 15 minutes; garnish when served with watercress if available. Allow to 1 pound of tomatoes 2 hard-boiled eggs, 1-2 cup, butter and the juice of 1 lemon. Stuffed Flank Steak—For a flank weighing three pounds take 3 slices baker's bread, crumble it up fine, now chop 1 onion and a tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley, a little salt and pepper, 1 egg, 1 tablespoonful butter, mix this all together. Make a pocket into the flank steak. Fill with the dressing and roast it three quarters of an hour in a good hot ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH Lexington Street near Pine Rev. E. J. Gregg. D. D.

Ford's Hair Pomade ```markdown ``` Fifty years of success have proved the results of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more flexible, and desired hair in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition. Pomade is not size, not usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. The Laurel Agricultural and Industrial Institute.] Will re-open under last year's management, October 4th, 1909.

A Good Reason For Marrying. A young couple developed such in compatibility of temper, that six years after marriage they carried their difficulties to the divorce court. Their little Cherry was very much concerned through all the trouble. "Well," she said, thoughtfully "when I grow up I should never marry if it wasn't that I want a father for my children."—Success Magazine PAINSTAKING PHYSICIAN. Dr. McClendon's Busy Life—Would Make an Ideal Public Official. New Rochelle, N. Y., is fortunate in having a physician to minister to the wants of its Negro population a young and experienced medical practitioner in the person of Dr. C. P. McClendon, a native of Arkansas, who is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Dr. McClendon's clientele embraces nearly all the leading colored families in New Rochelle and the outlying towns. He is universally admitted to be a painstaking physician, and his cheerful disposition and optimism are making him many friends all over the county of Westchester. He is popular with all classes, is an active mem- [Image of a man seated in a chair, dressed in a formal suit with a bow tie and a hat, holding a book or a pair of glasses.

D. ber of the various fraternal and beneficial organizations of New Rochelle, member of the executive committee of the Negro Republican league and a good fellow generally. Humor connects his name with a local appointment under the new city administration. He was a good hustler in the local campaign, and he possesses the mental and moral qualifications to fit him for any position within the gift of the municipal government. It would be a tactful stroke for the appointing powers to recognize some of these able and influential young Negroes. If they want to hold the Negro vote in future campaigns they will have to recognize their leaders, and now is a good time to begin. PERNICIOUS PRINCIPLES. Past Errors Should Not Overtop Moral Victory of Union Army. Why is it that the people of the south refuse to abandon the pernicious principles that almost wrecked the American Union in 1861? And why is it that a great many people in the north encourage them to perpetuate those principles? It is idle and foolish to say that the men who fought to maintain slavery and wreck a nation believed that they were right. They knew that they were wrong, and any statement to the contrary is an insult to their intelligence. All over the south and in some places in the north there are organizations in existence that have no other motive than extolling the treason of 1881. Worst of all, many public speakers of prominence have so far forgotten themselves as to laud the disloyalty of such characters as Jeff Davis. The blue and the gray are referred to in equal terms of praise when as a matter of fact they should never be mentioned in the same breath. Is there any equality between George Washington and Benedict Arnold? There is no doubt that any praise of the latter would bring forth a volley of criticism, and it is certain that he will never be set up as an example for the guidance of American youth. The tendency to encourage the perpetuation of principles that are known to be wrong is only delaying the consummation of real democracy in America. However desirable it may be to win the good will of the south, this should not be accomplished by praising the southern people for their past errors. If a maudlin sentiment for disloyalty is to be allowed to discount the great moral victory of the Union army we may well stop and wonder why, so much blood was spilled in vain.—Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard. No Foreign Racial Alliances Wanted. "Bruce Grit" thinks that it would be a wise thing for Afro-Americans to fuse politically with some of the foreign elements in the United States. He mentions the Irish and Italians and says that the experiment is worth making. We do not believe so. The foreign element in this country has just as strong prejudice against our people as the native born white man who is not willing to concede that the Negro as a citizen has rights which white men should respect. We want no foreign racial alliances in this respect. Young Men Should Heed This Advice. Editor Sol C. Johnson of the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune hews close to the line. He wisely asks: "Why rent a home in a crowded neighborhood when with a small payment down and the same amount possibly that you are paying in rent could be bought a home of your own in a less crowded neighborhood? Let our young men consider this and act for their good and the good of their children." Promoters Plan New Playhouse Afro-Americans of Jacksonville Soon to Have New Theater Building—Only First Class Shows Will Be Booked—Old Plantation Melodies and Cheap Variety Performers Must Go. There are in the south today quite a number of places of amusement strictly for Afro-Americans. These houses cannot be recognized in the strict sense of the term as theaters. The class of shows, as a rule, however, are not of an elevating character. Culture is divorced from the acting, and the thousands of young Afro-Americans are sadly imbued with this cheap class of amusement. These so called theaters nevertheless bill strongly and feature as high class vaudeville theaters. With few exceptions one who appreciates culture at the right value is taxed beyond endurance by a straight old plantation act which the managers of these shows claim to be strictly of the variety order. The introduction of this phase of theatrical endeavor in this respect is undoubtedly by men who make the commercial issue paramount. With few exceptions they do not produce for their patrons professional artists who have made an intelligent study of their work. There will be found only a few houses in the south exclusively for Afro-Americans that are worthy of commendation. There are hundreds of patrons of artists before the footlights in the city of Jacksonville, Fla., who will not patronize such places of amusement that do not create a wholesome atmosphere. There will, however, be opened in Jacksonville some time in January a first class theater for Afro-Americans. W. S. Sumter, capitalist; Dr. J. Seth Hills, one of the leading physicians and business men of the south, and Mr. Frank Cloud, who is an experienced, theatrical manager, are the promoters of this the first modern and high class theater for Afro-Americans to be found in this part of the south. These farsighted business men are expending a large sum of money in this new project, which will give Jacksonville a theater with a seating capacity of 1,200 persons. One hundred persons can be staged at one time. This playhouse, will be known as the Globe theater and will be strictly modern in all appointments. The management will book every Afro-American company of repute and encourage the formation of high class shows. ALARMING CONDITIONS. Stemons' Strong Plea For Equal Industrial Chances For Afro-Americans. At a recent meeting of the Negro Baptist ministers' conference, which was held in the Union Baptist church, Philadelphia, James S. Stemons in a speech on the "Industrial Crisis Confronting the Negro and How to Avert It" said: "Little as we may think of it, our very physical existence in this country is gravely threatened by the persistent manner in which we are being excluded from every opportunity of working to make an honest living. We are being segregated and shoved aside in all things, embracing the most vital rights and interests of the human race. More than this, these selfsame conditions are demoralizing and degrading and degenerating the race as fast as the wheels of time can roll. I know and you know that there are countless thousands of Negro youths, young men and young women, who absolutely refuse to expend time and money in training and fitting themselves for the higher walks of life and who are becoming deprived and reckless and criminal because of the persistent manner in which every door of opportunity is being slammed in their faces." To avert this calamity Mr. Stemors proposed the holding of a mass meeting which would appeal to churches of all creeds. He suggested that the white churches should aid the Negro by asking their members to sign a pledge to break down the barriers which prevent men on account of color from engaging in various branches of manual labor. Afro-American Census Enumerators. It has been definitely decided by Director of the Census Durand and Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor at Washington that competent Afro-Americans will be employed as enumerators in the taking of the census. The general order, however, specifies that in districts where two-fifths or more of the population are Afro-Americans the enumerators should be those of their own race. Thus, especially in the south, the color line will be closely drawn. At any rate, an enumerator is an enumerator, be he white or black. The figures will tell the story.

Washington received as his Christmas presnet several fulfillments of promises made to him by the Taft managers when they were stealing and plundering the southern states last winter and spring and when they were cheating and lying at Chicago in June." The League Journal is edited by Roscoe C. Simmons, who is a nephew of Dr. Washington, and he ought to know. COLOR LINE WHITE HOUSE. Afro-Americans Given Object Lesson In Republican Hypocrisy. No colored citizen should have any doubt as to the attitude of the present administration relative to the vital questions which concern the future welfare of all the people. The color line is as much in evidence in the White House of the nation as it is in any capital city in the southland. The census bureau has just announced through the Associated Press that colored census enumerators will not be permitted to act in cases of white people, but it falls to add that white census enumerators will not be permitted to act in cases of colored people. It seems to us if it intended to carry out the principle laid down to its logical conclusion and to maintain that basis of equality in treatment which the law guarantees it would have supplemented its instructions along the lines indicated. But we have a Republican president, a Republican congress, and the colored people of the United States are being treated to an object lesson which will convince the most skeptical that a Republican amounts to about as much as a Democrat and a Democrat to about as much as a Republican when we consider these latter day dissertations upon the race question. The time has come when we can afford to support a Democrat with justice loving proactivities with a far greater certainty of securing that recognition to which we are entitled than we can some of these "tenderfoot" Republicans who fear reducule from southern Negro haters and ghostly shadows from a growing prejudiced element in the districts of the north and west—Richmond (Va.) Planet. KANSAS CITY'S HUSTLER. Business Activity, Capacity and Influence of F. J. Weaver Cited. The progress which our people have made along industrial and educational lines in the western section of the United States within the past fifteen years seems to sustain the contention of some of the leaders among us that the west affords more liberal opportunities for the business development of the race than any other section. That the race has largely entered into the commercial spirit of that section may be plainly seen by the thrift, and industry of our people in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Denver, Buxton, Los Angeles and Oakland. One of the most progressive business men of Kansas City, Mo., is Fortune J. Wenver, who is the proprietor of the Afro-American Employ- FORTUNE J. WEAVER. ment company. By strict business methods and economy Mr. Weaver has built up a large concern and is considered to be the leading business man in the state. In the matter of securing and supplying domestic help he has patrons as far west as California and Alaska. Mr. Weaver also does a thriving real estate business at his home, which often amounts to $6,000 per month. Besides being ably assisted by Mrs. Weaver, who is a thorough business woman, Mr. Weaver employs a corps of capable assistants, who are interested in their work and alert at all times. As president of the Business Men's league of the city Mr. Weaver exerts an influence which is both helpful and inspiring. New Addition to Race Literature. John Edward Bruce, the well known writer and newspaper correspondent of Yonkers, N. Y., has in course of preparation a rare selection of biographies of eminent Afro-Americans who have won their spurs by grit, persistence, and self reliance, which will appear in book form in the near future. To each sketch the writer will add a series of helpful questions on various subjects for the benefit of young folks, Mr. Bruce writes interestingly and knows how to state facts as they should be. Educational Tour of J. R. E. Lee. J. R. E. Lee, corresponding secretary of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools, is making a tour of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. Mr. Lee will visit teachers' associations in each of these states during January, gathering statistics and other helpful information for the next annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers, which will be held in Oklahoma City in July. Scranton Gets Annual Conference. The next annual session of the Pittsburg A. M. E. conference will be held in Scranton, Pa., in October at Bethel church, Rev. George T. Smith, pastor.
