REV. J. MILTON WALDRON PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE Says They Did-Moreover They Will Perfect Their Organization And Will Do The Same Thing Again-Figures Which Show Just How The Negro Voted In The Last Election- Colored Voters Were Not Ashamed To Show Their Colors At The Polls. Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—Rev Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the National Organizer and first president of the National Independent (formerly the National Negro American) Political League, gave out a statement today with regard to the activities of the colored voters in the political campaign just closed. The league has headquarters in Washington and New York city and in conjunction with The New England Suffrage League, the National Democratic League and the United Colored Democracy of the State of New York, carried on a vigorous campaign against the Republican Gubernatorial nominees in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Ohio, and certain Republican Congressional candidates in these States and in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. Rev Dr. Waldron said: "Our league and the other political organizations of the race associated with us, had two score and more campaign speakers and organizers at work weeks before the election in the states mentioned above, creating a sentiment against the Republican party and arousing the race with the Democrats. These workers distributed tons of printed matter among the colored voters and delivered hundreds of addresses to them. "We have waited to hear from these workers and from the officers of the local and state branches of the League before making any claim with regard to the number of colored men who voted the Democratic ticket in the last election, as we wished to base our statements upon facts." From reports receivel we feel justified in saying that of the 47,000 colored voters in New York State; 30,000 voted for Dix, and of the 75,000 in Ohio, 55,000 at least. supported Governor Harmon, while in Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Jersey not less than 50 per cent, voted with the Democrats. These conclusions are based upon the number of colored men who attended the rallies and other meetings of the respective parties and upon the number who wore the Democratic and Republican badges and colors on election day at the polls when they went to vote. In almost every instance there were from three to four times more colored men at the Democratic meetings than there were at the Republican gatherings; and the proportion of colored voters at the polling places who wore Democratic badges were four or five times greater than those who wore Republican badges. With many estimates agree the reports of many of the more prominent colored Republican campaign workers and speakers in the states mentioned above whom we have conversed with confidentially, since the election. And it is a significant fact that every Republican gubernatorial candidate, and most of the Republican nominees for Congress, whom the League opposed, were defeated by an overwhelming majority. "It would seem that 'tol. Roosevelt's advocacy of, or opposition to, certain candidates in Ohio and New York did not materially change the white vote, either way, it drove the colred voters away from the candidates he favored and sent them in large numbers into the ranks of those he opposed. While the determination to 'Remembrance' vote on the part of many colored voters in Massachusetts, New York and where the Colonel's personality entered into the campaign, yet this is not sufficient to account for the large number of Ne- REV. J. MILTON WALDRON groves who voted the Democratic ticket in these states where neither Mr. Rosevelt nor Brownsville was made an issue, for example, Tennessee, Missouri and New Jersey. "The treachery of the Republican party to the race during the past twenty years, and the determination of the intelligent and thoughtful colored voters to make friends with all political parties—and not Brownsville—are the causes of this wholesale revolt on the part of the Negro voters from the Republican party, and this disaffection will increase from year to year and abide if the Democrats will deal wisely and fairly with the colored people of this country. League has already begun to prepare for the presidential campaign of 1912; it intends pushing with vigor and unabated zeal the work of organization and education of the race along political lines in order to be in a position to deliver a telling blow against any party or candidate who is, or shall, show itself imminible to American citizens of color." JACK JOHNSON HIRES A SPECIAL TRAIN To Hie Him To The Maine Woods Where He Will Hunt Moose, Deer and Health. Portland, Me., Nov 20—Jack Johnson, the world's champion, heavyweight pugilist has gone to the Maine woods in search of health, moose, deer, bear, and any other game he can find, but health principally. Early last Friday morning the big fighter was taken ill with an attack of indigestion at his apartments where he was stopping enron e through Maine with a vaudeville company. He grew rapidly worse and the house phyl-ician was called, and although he relieved the immediate attack, he found John, son suffering from an aggravated nerve exhaustion, which has been coming on for a week or two. He boxed three rounds with his sparing partner, Walter Monaghan, and although he took thin's easy, yet he showed his old time buoyancy and jolled the big crowd. All his buoyancy was gone next day however, when Dr. Craigin told him that he must quit touring the country and take a complete st. Manager Pease announced that after the Saturday night performance at Rutland Falls, where Johnson little more than nosed himself, all enlisted him to be canoeed that Jack would go into the pine words of Mae. To add to his troubles, Johnson stayed in his room to long, hoping to i better, that he lost his train to Rumford Falls at noontime. He decided to take Mrs. Johns n and his manager an go by automobile over 100 mles of country road, but, he physician said "No!" and so, to the oilishment of the natives the big fellow nonchallantly ordered a speci i train, and the party of three whirled over the Maine Central to Rumford Fall, with tracks ordered "clear ahead."

(Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Wilberforce, O., Nov. 21—Thirteen thousand dollars for Wilberforce University is a gift announced at a mass meeting of the students held Saturday evening to welcome home Miss Halie Q. Brown, who has just returned from a five months' stay in The donation is from a wealthy English lady well known for her philanthropy in England and Scotland. During her recent visit to London, Miss Brown became acquainted with the lady and interested her in Wilberforce, with the result mentioned and assurance of continued interest in the school. The dormitories of the school are overrowed, many students being compelled to find accommodations on the outside. The majority of the students are of slender means, many working their way thru school, and the low rates for room and board in the dormitories have, in many cases made a way possible for struggling youths. In a simple but touching manner, Mi's Brown rehearsed the story of her weary months of working, watching and praying, and the ultimate fruition of her hopes just when the gloom was deepest. As she told her story tears were tingling in the cheeks on one eye in the assemblage of dappled signs of moisture, but thy were tears of rejoicing and gratitude. At the close of Miss Brown's anno- cement the entire student body anno- and gave the college yell; then the audience joined in "singing" "Praise God from Whom all Blessin's Flow." $5900 FOR MORGAN COLLEGE Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 24 — The Freedmen's Aid Soil ty of the Method t Episcopal Church, it its recent session nere made appropriations totaling $102,140 for 21 schools and colleges under control of the board.

Joseph Atwater Claims Oklahoma Provision Is Unconstitutional. Washington, Nov. 19.—Eleven days after the election Mr. Joseph Atwater, of Oklahoma, filed in the United States Supreme Court his appeal from the decision of the Oklahoma courts, which had refused to enjoin election officials in Oklahoma City from denying him the right to vote on November 8. The petition for injunction was based on the claim that the "grandfather" clause, placed in the Oklahoma Constitution by amendment, was invalid because would deny the right to vote to a large number of Negroes in the state entirely on account of color prejudice condition of servitude. The clause complained of denied the right to vote to those who could not read and write a section of the Constitution. It provided, however, that no person should be denied the right to vote if either he or his ancestors had the right to vote in any form of government on January 1, 1866. HOWARD AND LINCOLN IN A FIERCE STRUGGLE Lincoln Finally Downed By The Boys From Howard By Score of 5 to 0. Lincoln University; Nov. 25, 2011 pennants flying and the noise shout of a band and four hundred wildly cheering cotters, the white and blue of Howard waved over the orange and blue of Lincoln after one of the hardest and most bitterly contested games ever played on the local gridiron. The acclaimed team were teams at the end of the season de- cides the championship of the colored schools, and so for the second suc- cesive year the Washington team can be classed as the best colored football team in the country. The teams went into the fray with the determination characier tic of both schools, and the final score was uncertain up to the 45 minute. Both plaed hard consistent toball, as if their lives depended on their putting the ppgkain over the coveted line. Howard make the only touchdown in the game during the first quarter, and after that it was nip-and-tuck with neither side having any apparent advantage, albo Lincoln was perilously near Howard's goal several times. Lincoln kicked off to Howard, who defended the North goal. Bice was downed on his own 15 yard line. From there by steady plunges, Terry and Gray carrying the ball most of the time, the ball was advanced to Lincoln's 20 yard line, where she was held for two downs. On the next play, Slaughter on a double pass carried the ball over for the first and only touchdown of the game. In the second quarter, by terrific line backing, the blue and white backs carried the ball to Lincoln's 15 yard line. Here right ball bck Gray in tackling a Lincoln runner who had intercepted a forward pass broke his left wri t. Nixon took his place. On the next play Thompson's the Lincoln centre was disqualified for unnecessary roughness and his team penalized 25 yards. Nixon mis ed a goal from placemen. The ball was put in play on 25yd line, Lincoln I st on down, and again Nixon, called to kick goal from placement, the ball going only to 5yd line. The half ended with the bail on Lincoln's possession on her own 10yd line. In the second half Howard carried the ball to Lincoln's 12yd, lt where she was held for owns. Capt. Allen wrenched his sh ulder. tackling Branch and was compelled to retire. Howard took his place. With Allen and Gray out of the game he orange and blue marveled down the field seaily but surely until the refree's whistle announcing the end the third quer halting them but 5yd, frof Howard's goal When play was resumed the Howard ardine field, like a *a* the wall and Terry attempting to kick out of dinger sent the ball straight up in the air. Luckily for his team they recovered the ball on their 3yd. line. Price on the first line up up the ball to the 40yd. li e. Here both sides engaged in a punting duel, Bir outckicking Brce, but Lincoln lost this advantage b three successive fumbles. The game ended with the ball on Lincoln's 30yd. mark. After the game three hundred students marched in funeral procession around the field while the band played "Free a a Bird."

Golden Text—"Who, when he was reviiled, reviled not again."—I Peter 2:23. Time—Friday morning of the Crudifixion, between 1 and 2 o'clock until after sunrise. Place—The palace of the High Priest. Judas had betrayed his Master with his kiss, and the great naughty company of rulers, Romans, officers, and soldiers with lanters and swords and staves, were beginning their homeward march to the city. Peter immediately alone, single-handed, drew his sword and defiled the whole Roman and Jewish powers. He, in his impetuous, loving, courougous way, began to show that he would live up to his promise that he would die for Jesus before he would desert him. Attacking the nearest one, who may have been officious in the taking of Jesus, a servant of the high priest, Malchus by name, Peter struck wildly and missing his mark cut off merely the ear of his enemy. Jesus immediately stopped him. For it was unnecessary, since Jesus could have at any time twelve legions of angel defenders. Peter's defense was contrary to the teachings and plans of Jesus. It was useless, for Peter could not overthrow by the sword the Roman power. It was the worst thing he could do for his Master; it would ruin his cause and his defense, for it placed him in the attitude of a rebel against the Roman government, and Pilate could not have pronounced him innocent, for it would give color to the charges of the Pharisees that Jesus was an enemy of Caesar, and a rebel against the Roman government. Peter might have been arrested for rebellion, and perhaps the other disciples with him, and their work of founding the kingdom have been hindered. Jesus remediates the evil by intra- cusously healing the wound. This heal- ing showed that Jesus was no rebel against the Roman power. It showed the nature of his kingdom, as the king- dom of peace and truth and love. It showed his own character and how he lived up to his own precepts. I showed his divine nature and power. It is recorded only by the psy- clan, Luke, (22:51). "Thus," says Tholuck, "the last act of those hands before they were bound was a work of mercy and of peace in healing that might wound, the only we ever indicted for his sake." The trial before, he Sanhedrin was illegal according to all the above testir it was held to the night. "It was a packed jury, a star chamber of self-appointed assessors." The object of the enemies of Jesus was to condemn him and to give him over to the man authorities for crucifixion before his friends could rally and interpose in his behalf. Sought false witness against Jesus, for it was impossible to condemn him by any true accusations. To put him to death. This they had determined for reasons of their own. What they wanted was some plausible pretext that would enable them to persuade the Roman authorities to put Jesus to death. Jesus held his peace. They would not accept a denial, and they would have perverted the meaning of any explanation he could make. He refused to "cast pearls before swine" or to "give that which was holy to dogs." There are many times when it is well for Christians to imitate their Master in this. Do not waste time and strength in replying to those who are determined to oppose Christianity under all circumstances. Replying often advertises the enemy; and arguments take the attention from the main work of the Gospel, the saving of the world from sin. Attend to the business of the church, save men from sin; culture them into a noble character, help the needy, visit the slick, preach the Gospel, and the works of Christianity will answer its enemies. At the same time explanations of difficulties to those who wish to learn are always in order. Macauley in his essay on Milton ways, "Aristo tells a story of a fairy, who, by some mysterious law of her nature, was condemned to appear at certain seasons in the form of a foul, polsonous snake. Those who injured her during the period of her disguise were forever excluded from participation in the blessings which she beowed. But to those who, in spite of her loathsome aspect, pitied and protected her, she afterward revealed herself in the beautiful and celestial form which was natural to her, accompanied their steps, granted all their wishes, filled their houses with wealth, made them happy in love and victorious in war." So what is done to Christ in his disguised and lowly form is a test of our character and of our love, and will be rewarded and blessed by him when he comes in his glory; while those who reject him in his humility must come before his judgment heat when he sits on the right hand of the power of God. A possible array of witnesses if they had wished to learn the truth. What an array of witnesses they might have found had they wished to learn the truth! Here a company of those who had been bled, but now were running to tell the story of their healing; there a band of those who had been blind, but now could see; lopers who had been cleansed; demonlace clothed and in their right mind; slick raised from their beds, and dead brought to life again; sad hearts comforted; sinful souls redeemed; ignorant minds enlightened, and the wandering ones restored. [Name] REV. L. HARVEY ANDERSON, D. D., Ph. D. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DR. J. HARVEY ANDERSON, PH. D. Rev. J. Harvey Anderson, D. D., Ph. D., editor and statistician, was born in Frederick City, Md., June 30th, 1848, son of James Harvey, Sr., and Minerva Aum Anderson. His father acquired a good education from his wealthy master in order to precipitously serve him in his travel, which extended throughout the United States and Europe, and he was manumitted at his master's death. At the age of seven, the son was put out with a white family, and after seven years of service left them and hired to another. A year later he entered the service of an officer in the 18th Regiment (New Jersey), on its way to Antietam. This officer was severely wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville, and young Anderson returned with him to his home in Patterson, N. J. In 1864 he enlisted in Company G, 39th Regiment, U. S. Colored Volunteers, which engaged in the battles of Petersburg, Deep Bottom and Fort Fisher. After his discharge from the army, he resumed his education and engaged in divers pursuits, such as serving, farming driving a coach, coal shovelling, and for a year travelling with a minstrel troune. He became converted March 4th, 1870, and joined the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church at Lodi, N. J. He was licensed to preach February 4th, 1871, joined the New York Conference, May 26th, 1872, and ordained deacon May 24th, 1874; ordained elder Mry 24th, 1876, by Bishop J. J. Clinton, and in the course of his ministry pastored many of the most important charges in New York, New England, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Jersey, Western New York, Allegheny, Virginia and North Caroline Conferences. Dr. Anderson was secretary of the New York Conference (1874-79); secretary and compiler in the New England Conference (1871-87); statistical secretary and compiler in the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference for four years; secretary and compiler in the Allegheny Conference, for two years; secretary and compiler in the Western New York Conference for one year. He was a delegate to the General Conferences of 1884, 1888, 1892, 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908; a fraternal delegate to the Centennial Conference of Methodism, Baltimore, And., in 1884, and was elected delegate to the denominational Conference, London, England, 1901, and represented his denomination in a number of other chief religious bodies. He was elected to the position of general statistical secretary in 1884 and has held it continually since, except during one term of four years. In 1895 he was appointed editor of the denominational Year Book of which he is the author, and still retains that position. He has also edited several of the denominational journals, and is an extensive contributor to many popular current publications. While pastoring in Providence, R. I., in 1881, he was instrumental in securing the repeal of the obnoxious inter-marriage laws of that State, his eloquent speech before the judiciary committee of the General Assembly producing a profound effect. He led the Republican political revolt in 1882 in that State which nominated Gov. Sprague; and he himself was nominated for the legislature, but decline to run, perferring the pulpit to political office. He receive the honorary degree of D. D., from Livingstone College in 1897, and the degree of Ph. D. from Eastern North Carolina Industrial Academy, of which he is one of the vice presidents, in 1907. Dr. Andersou is an expert statistician and an authority on the history of his denomination. He is a keen thinker, an able editor and a profound and graphic preacher, with an easy flow of fine diction and captivating eloquence. He is a high degree Mason and Odd Fellow and a prominent member of the G. A. R., and several other societies. He was selected by the authorities of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, to edit the matter pertaining to it in the National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, a work of 17 large volumes; in which a two-third column is allowed to our distinguished subject for his personal biography. Dr. Anderson is now the popular and successful pastor of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, and is regarded as one of the ablest ministers of his denomination and of the pulpits of this city. He is a prominent candidate for editor of the Star of Zion, the denominational official organ, to succeed the present incumbent, Dr. George C. Clement, who in all probability will be chosen as one of the several bishops to be elected in 1912. Not to Be Easily Caught Not to Be Easily Caught. The confirmed bachelor came back to the club lunch from the end of the earth, and we all asked him if he was married yet (he is near fifty). "I shall marry a clever woman if I do you," he replied, grimly. "Thought you didn't like those clever women?" said the youngest member, simply. "I don't," said the bachelor, whose views are well known and widely spread. "But if ever I marry it'll be an internally clever woman who does it!" To Hold Eyeclasses Firm. Persons who wear noseglasses and who are troubled with excessive perspiration should chalk the sides of the bridge of the nose before putting on the glasses. The latter will then never slip, even in the warmest weather. If the chalk shows, use a pink stick, which you can get at any art or school supply. Hard to Understand. One of the hardest things to understand is why the world keeps right on in the old way when a man who thinks ho is indispensable resigns. Novel Reading and Intellect. "One who reads all the new novels can't be said to have literary taste," says the Philosopher of Folly. "You might as well boast that you had an intellectual feast when you had calves' brains for supper." Government Type. The type set in the government printing office last year would reach one and one-fifth times around the world. It is believed that something like a quarter of a mile of the printed lines was read. Life Is as One Makes It Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music, and rings itself all the day through; and thou shalt make of it a dance, a dirge or a life march, as thou wilt—Caryle Same Thing In the End. A physician says that there is no such thing as "taking cold." Which reminds one of the old saw that you don't take a car, but that the car takes you. If a child is narrow-chested he should live in the open air as much as possible. Light dumbbells should be used for exercise and he should be given a generous milk diet. Bradstreet's says: Favorable central features in this week's trade reports comprehend better distribution at retail, due to cool weather; somewhat larger filling-in orders for which the advance of the season and light buying by retailers earlier in the year are responsible; the realization of cheaper meat supplies, at least as regards wholesale prices; firmer feeling in pig iron and increased business in holiday goods. Groceries, seasonable lines of hardware and winter wearing apparel show most activity. However, there is considerable room for improvement in retail distribution, which is still affected by the prevalence of open weather in parts of the country and which has been slow in expanding, owing probably to the high level of prices that has provailed for sometime past. There is more doing on spring account, but business in this respect is still marked by conservatism, and buyers in many lines seem disposed to hold off because prices are not to their liking. On the other hand, first hands display no particular anxiety to book heavily ahead because of the high level of raw materials; the difference between which and the selling prices of the manufactured article leave little room for profit.

STOMACH MISERY VANISHES Indigestion, Gas, Sourness and Dyspepsia Go and Your Stomach Feels Fine In Five Minutes. If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn or a sick, sour, upset or gassy stomach, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-count case of Pape's Dipepsia and take a little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour rinses, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach, Neusea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or intestinal gripping. This will all go, and besides, there will be no undigested food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all stomach misery is waiting for you at any drug store here in town. These large 50-case cases of Pape's Diapepsin contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Gastritis or any other stomach disturbance. Couldn't Do It.

Named For Position of Assistant United States Attorney General by Taft—Has Served With Distinction In Other Places of Great Responsibility in the Federal Government. By R. W. THOMP5ON. William Henry Lewis, a leading attorney of Boston, is to be named by President Taft as assistant attorney general of the United States. He will thus confer upon Mr. Lewis the highest official position ever conferred upon a colored man by the federal government. The assistant attorney general assists in the argument of cases before the supreme court and in the preparation of legal opinions. Many of the most important and intricate assignments fall to the hands of the assistants, and in the course of their work they are frequently brought into contact with senators, members of congress and barristers of prominence who have business with the department of justice. It will thus be seen that the proposed appointment is one of the utmost responsibility and far out of the ordi- M. B. mary run of positions usually accorded to our race. It is expected that the name of Mr. Lewis will be sent to the senate shortly after the opening of the congressional session in December. The presidegut is being warmly congratulated upon all sides by the colored press and public for his generosity in giving the race such honorable recognition, and there is no doubt that his hold upon the respect and confidence of the tank and file of the colored people of the country has been greatly strengthened. The competency of Mr. Lewis is conceded by the most eminent lights at the American bar. Polished in manner, eloquent of voice and chaste in language, he has few peers as a pleader, and in the preparation of cases he is a master hand. He possesses character and force of the most positive order, with magnetic police and dignity, yet is modest and unassuming in his daily intercourse. Mr. Lewis combines the elements that make for efficiency of the lasting kind and in the wider field promised him will add new laurels to his brow. It is expected that his nomination will be speedily confirmed by the senate. Mr. Lewis is at present superintendent of the naturalization bureau in Boston, having been promoted from the post of second assistant United States district attorney upon the resignation of John Casey, Esq. In both offices he made an enviable record. He was appointed assistant district attorney by ex-President Roosevelt in 1903, and some of the most difficult cases' known to the department have been ably disposed of by him. In one significant instance he received the thanks of Chief J. E. Wilkof of the United States secret service for his superior skill in conducting a case of especial importance in which this branch of the government was deeply interested. Mr. Lewis is a native of Berkeley, Va., where he was born in 1868. His father was a minister of prominence, but not of large salary, and young Lewis was compelled to look out for himself in the matter of securing an education such as he desired. He worked his way as a waiter to earn his college expenses after finishing the common school branches in and about Portsmouth, Va. His ancestors were North Caroll plans, and he comes from the best stock of that state. His sister is the wife of Dr. J. J. Prince, a leading physician of Portsmouth, Va. Mr Lewis graduated from Amherst college in 1892 and from the law department of Harvard in 1895. He won enchantable fame as a football player at Amherst, and this reputation folowed him to Harvard. MANHOOD RIGHTS UPHELD. Nation Revolts at idea of Disfranchisement, Says the Oregonian. In view of the light which is being waged by the Democrats of Maryland to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, the following editorial from a recent issue of the Portland (Ore.) Oregonian is most timely as well as encouraging: "The Oregonian has been favored with a little leaflet or tract whose purpose is to argue for the disfranchisement of the Negroes by a constitutional amendment. No such amendment can ever be passed." "The national sense of justice revolts at the idea, to begin with, and it is safe to believe that the country is not yet prepared to sacrifice everything that was won by the blood and expense of the civil war. Still, the little tract is interesting on many accounts, chiefly perhaps for its frank barbarism and candid ignorance." ASSEMBLYMAN H. W. BASS. Elected by Large Vote From Sixth District in Philadelphia. Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania, and especially the voters in the Sixth district of the Seventh ward in Philadelphia, are to be congratulated upon the unusually large vote which they polled at the recent election. From the Sixth district in Philadelphia Harry W. Bass was elected to the assembly by a large vote, due in the main to the fact that Afro-Americans were particularly careful in seeing to it that every man of the race of legal voting age registered. Mr. Bass is well known, capable and energetic. He is a native of Chester, Pa., and is noted for his sincerity and devotion to such measures as will tend to advance the interest of the race. We bespeak for Mr. Bass a successful career in the rightful performance of duty in his new field. Funds Needed to Meet Urgent Demands For the Coming Winter. The Dickson Colored orphanage, Gilmer, Tex., is in need of funds with which to meet its demands for the winter. The institution is deserving: It has done a splendid work during the ten years of its existence in caring for the large number of orphan children of our race who have been given into its care. The institution was opened with six children. The number has increased steadily from year to year. The whole number enrolled since the orphanage opened is 1,120. The present enrollment is 125. The children are taught various branches of industry, besides given the rudiments of an English education such as are taught in country schools. Besides improvements which must necessarily be made from time to time, it takes over $500 per month to pay current expenses. President W. L. Dickson has the promise of several persons to give some financial aid within a very short time. The pastors of all the churches in the state have been appealed to for aid through their congregations to take a special offer on Thanksgiving day. The demand of the times is for well equipped schools and other institutions for the education and training of youth. It is therefore incumbent upon those who are leaders in the various movements for uplift to do all in their power to bring about such conditions and changes as will insure the best facilities for the largest number possible. While the race has made rapid strides along many lines of education and in the various industries, it has been for the most part through individual effort. It is quite apparent that the hope of the race lies largely in the elevation of the masses. Such institutions as the Dickson orphanage have to deal with a class of youth which must of necessity receive the very best attention, since it is debarred from parental care at a time when it most needs home training. HAYTIAN PRIZE WINNERS. Two Students of the Black Republic Get First Honors in Contests. The Paris correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says that at the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne among the colleges belonging to the university recently one of the three principal, that of Latin composition, was awarded to a mulatto youth, a native of Haiti, and the first of Greek composition to another Haitian outie black. A Catholic missionary lately sailed from Marsellies for Tripoll and Bengal to commence establishments for training blacks as missionaries in the Sudan. He is to be joined by forty of the same color, who have for some time been studying theology at Rome, but these Negroes probably are not of the African race that have been carried to the western hemisphere. The Country's Duty to Afro-Americanians "Instead of asserting that it was a mistake to give the Afro-American the rights of citizenship we should devote all our thoughts and energies to raising him to the point to qualify him to exercise his precious right," says United States Senator Shelby M. Culliam. "We should educate him and do everything in our power to make a good citizen of him. He needs encouragement, and we owe it to ourselves to do all in our power to elevate him."

Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines await the fortunate man or man who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular mineal sought for. Lost end buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located.

The way Republican heads will fall under the Democratic guilottine after the fourth of March, 1911, will be a caution. What has become of the Banner Repression? Haven't heard from it or several weeks now. Better get Col. Joyce to work on it. Ninety-thousand Negroes in this city and only one leader in the lot. Speaks well for the organizing powers of that one man. Thanksgiving here this week. Our Democratic friends have much to give thanks for. My how they did eat turkey. They have eaten crow so long turkey will go mighty nice this time. Mr. Stone gave a dinner to the political leaders in this city last week. Of the seventy named as being present only one was colored. Is the colored vote only one in seventy? Or have we only one colored leader in the city? Who will answer? A press dispatch say that Jack Johnson is going to leave the footlights and is going to Chicago and the simple life. That sounds well, but if Jack would just move to the farm and do some work for himself and race by becoming a large and prosperous farmer with plenty of help around him, his name may yet go thundering down the corridors of time as one great and good Negro. A colored man is in the penitentiary in Texas sentenced there for life. He was tried on another case and given ten years more. What we are wondering is whether they will keep his body there for the ten years after life, or will his ghost have to do penance for the ten years sentence. Will there be any evidence shown on the life sentence so he will get out long enough to have the sentence aded? How will the State enforce the sentence? When it comes to the Negro the average Southerner is a wonder. We have noted the statements of J. W. K and L. E. F. in our contemporary, the Baltimore Times, in reference to the salary or support of the ministry. We have also noted the replies by one clergyman and we presume one layman because the question is of vital importance to our people, not to say the ministry and because the discussion is proceeding from a false premise or an errionious statement, we deem it worth while to present some facts and shed a little needed light on the subject. Now in the first place J. W. R. is wrong in saving that ministers are paid from $750.00 to $1,300.00 per year. There may be a few isolated cases where the pay is $1,300 per annum, but there is no case within a thousand miles of Baltimore, where a preacher gets that amount of money, to which is added, furnished parsonage, light, fuel and board. Nor is there a single case in the city of Baltimore as far as we have been able to find, where even $750.00 salary is paid along with the other provisions as stated above. We therefore remove the ground work of the discussion because the statement as to salary paid is untrue. The Washington Conference is one of the best paid conferences among Negroes anywhere. Last year the churches promised to pay the one hundred and sixty-three ministers of the conference, the sum of $90,718.00, but did not keep their promise. The churches fell short of their promise in such a large measure, that there was a loss to the ministers of over $12,000.00. That cut the average pay of the preachers of the conference to less than $500.00, while many actually got less than $400.00. Now many of our laymen are paid from $9.00 to $12.00 per week and that is more than the average ministers is paid. And if you say some get more, we answer again, some layman gets nine dollars a week, gets more than some fifty ministers of the Washington Conference, and the work men who get $12.00 per week get more by $144.00 per annum than the average pay of the preachers in the Washington Conference. Now it is evident from these facts that the preacher's pay is not so big as J. W. K. would have you believe. The question is asked why the ministers cannot live on these salaries. We note first that the grade of life forced upon the minister by his position and its requirements, compel him to be at an expense far in excess of the laymen of his church. Take several items, for example. The heating of his home in winter. Except for the fact that he is the representative of his people and must maintain a certain dignity in his home life, he might sit with his family around the kitchen stove and save the extra fire in another part of the house. But he cannot do that, for he has all classes of people, white and colored, calling upon him and he cannot afford to appear so cheap as to ask his guests into his kitchen, where so many times the layman invites their preachers when they call. Again take the matter of books, papers and magazines. How many do you find in the laymen's homes? Many preachers spend as much for books, papers and magazines in a year as it costs many a working man for his food. Then take his charities. Nearly everybody in the neighborhood who get into trouble and need will call upon the preacher for help and he helps. People needing help pass by the layman next door, and go into the parsonage, and they get help. Then take his church money, he gives as much to the church as any of the members except in rare cases. Then take the item of the preachers personal dress; here his position demands an expense for himself and his family larger than he would otherwise have to incur, for if his pulpit dress is not correct he hears from it, and the people tell him they do not want to see the children at the parsonage running around with ragged clothes on. Again L. E. P. is wholly in error as to the easy life of the minister, and the small money they earned before they begin to preach. We know men who earned over $100.00 per mouth before they weat into the ministry, who do well now to get $75.00 per month. They are not in the ministry for money, but for conscience sake and obedience to God. He helps the poor, he buys medicines for the sick, and many a time he lenus almost his last dollar to members of his church who are in distress. We know a minister who larnished over $100.00 worth of medicine to the poor people of his church during a pastorate of five year when the church was only paying $700.00 per annum. It is our judgment that our laymen should heartily combine to furnish the ministers such support as will put them past waint and anxiety, and then ask them to stick to their job as preachers and pastors and do the work for our people which cannot be done by any other class of men. WHY NOT CUT THE "C" OUT. We are face to face with conditions anomalous and distressing, in reference to the use of the word "Christian." We have the Y. M. C. the Y. W. C. the Y. W. C. U., and the various societies dubed "Christian," which are showing but poorly the spirit of the Christ whose cognomen they bear. There was a time when the spirit of the Master seemed working in and through these organizations, but as time goes on there seems to be less and less of the altruistic spirit of Jesus Christ abroad in the life of these organizations. Years ago all races worked side by side in these great humanitarian institutions, but a new day has come and a new spirit which is not the Christian spirit, seems dominating the life of these organizations. In all of the work of these organizations, the colored membership, intelligent, competent and loyal, is segregated and compelled to work apart from the great-body of white members, indicating the continuance of the spirit of caste so dominant in heathen lands where they have not heard of Jesus, who said: "And all ye are brethren." Why call our churches and organization Christian when they are not. Why mislead ourselves and the world in the vain effort to mislead or deceive heaven? Paul and Jesus, than whom there are no greater sponsors or representatives of the scheme of Christianity, both stand for the unity of the faith and the oneness of the believers. And if now after nearly two thousand years of Christian activity we are growing into the spirit of invideous distinctions, it is but a poor show for the final triumph of the scheme of Christian teaching. Less than seventy-five years ago, the Methodist Episcopal Church stood firmly on the principle of brotherhood to rend itself asunder on the great question of liberty and human rights, and the Northern wing of that church and the brethren of the South fell upon each other in fratricidal war and eluded our land in blood for four awful years of war and rapine. Today the fundamental principles underlying that struggle are being surrendered, and although the South lost on the field of conflict, she is victor in the battle of history, and the truth of what Henry M. Grady said: "What the S. South lost by sword she will retrieve by the pen" is becoming painfully true. Two weeks ago the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church held its annual meeting in this city. During that meeting some unpleasant things came to the surface. Upon this committee were five colored members representing the editorial, secretarial and educational forces of the church, and yet no unhappy was the spirit of the people of the entertaining church that the colored members of the committee were denied the privilege of lunching with the other members of the committee in the basement of the church, and were sent out to the home of one of the colored pastors. Then the Methodist Social Union arranged for a reception to the committee, but before completing their plans, went to one of the colored pastors and explained that the presence of the colored members of the committee at the reception would be embarrassing, and asked him to give a reception for the colored delegates at his church at the same time they would receive the white members. Now note this Board of Missions was here to plan for the extension of Christ's kingdom in the earth and was so unchristian and clamish that a few colored delegates could not be accorded Christian fellowship for a few days. The wonder to us is that we do not cut out the word Christian for to us, it is plainly a mis THE SEGREGATION ACT. The opposition of colored citizens to what is known as the Segregation Act, pending before the City Council, arises not from any disposition upon their part to live in neighborhoods occupied mostly by white people. The very principle of segregation is anti-American, and is mishevous in its effect. Not only so, but the highest good of any community of American citizens demands a condition just the opposite of that implied in the idea of racial segregation. We think it will be verified upon examination that "black belts" or Italian belts," or belts containing a population of one kind of people, only, whose ethical and industrial advance has been greatly retarded, do not contribute towards the highest efficiency of such communities. Such conditions serve to solidify ignorance and immature development in organized efforts against those, who, presumably, are endeavoring to promote the highest ideals of civic righteousness. There is a natural demand for representation in the various legislative assemblies, upon the part of those who having been set off to themselves, feel that it is only just and rights that their representatives should be drawn from the ranks or those who experience life as themselves. This most natural endeavor upon the part of such, is met by the aristocracy in a series of evasions which assume indefinite form and expression in "trick ballots," Jim-crow, conditions, disfranchisement and the like. The sense of injustice and oppression, becomes deeply rooted in the hearts and minds, of a large body of citizens, who feel that they are unfairly dealt with on the part of those whose Christian education ought to render them incapable of such unbrotherly and dishonest treatment; thus, contempt for the teachings of the Uhr Christian Church is invited, and the influence of the Christian Church among these people is greatly discounted, because of the conspicuous failure of the words of "the-better class" when translated into practice. On the contrary, it is the opinion of those who have given their thoughts to this matter, as well as made observations in the same direction, that where a few people of any backward race are scattered among those who have made greater advancement in civic life, the neighboring influence exerted results in making the backward less backward, and steadily advancing them in the common ideals of the community, so that in time they entirely lose those distinctive marks which militated against their highest usefulness as thoroughly equipped and most desirable citizens. And, it should not be forgotten at all, that such neighboring influence has nothing whatever to do with the social status of the people effected thereto, to the extent of bringing about the much dread nightmare of "social equality." On the other hand, Negroes becoming more thoroughly Americanized, at the same time become more thoroughly racial. With the dissipation of ignorance, and the incoming of education, in its largest and best sense, there is created among them such a genuine and worthy love of race, that without losing their racial identity, they are ambitious to vindicate the great possibilities among them as a race. The proposition before the City Council, looking towards race segregation, is specially damaging to the white race. It would insinuate that after all they are not quite sure of their "superiority." What fears could an honest man have, realizing his marked superiority, over a race of backward people, by his neighborly contact with the same? Unless the New Testament is all wrong, is it not the opportunity which they are strenuously seeking, as often as they say "Our Father," and "Thy King dom?" Are we to believe that their prayers are all mockeries? What else can we believe when the very God to whom they pray make it possible for them to answer their very prayers by neighboring the man who has "fallen among thieves" and who has been left wounded and half dead? What is the use of their sending missionaries to Chlna, Japan and Africa, when they are unwilling to practice their religion at home, where they can immediately reap from their sowing. After all, there is no race problem. It is just the other way. It is the problem of Christianity versus the Religion of the Scribes, Pharisees and Hijocrites, who dominate the Christian Church. It is questionable if the Master returned to earth attired in the same garb of a peasant, as was the case when He trudged this earth before, whether He would receive a hearty welcome in many of the religious establishments having over their doors, the words: "Christ Church." The whole piece of legislation is radically and entirely wrong. This dallying, with sin and unrighteous compromise with the law of righteousness, like the famous "Dred Scott decision," which was scratched to the four winds of heaven by the political earthquake. Which followed four years after that decision, will also be swift away by he higher decision of Almighty God to whom vengeance belongeth. It is His battle, not ours. Late Literary News The World's Work for November contains the second of Booker T. Washington's articles, "Chapters from my Experience". It is a chapter dealing with the so-called "intellectuals" of the race, and explains in detail the point of view of the Tuskegee educator, with regard to the talented gentlemen who compose the "intellectuals". The World's Work is making much of these articles, well illustrating them, and giving them wide circulation. The next chapter, to appear in the December number, will be even more interesting in its discussion of the cleavage between the teachings of the Tuskegee educator and those of the ores, more disposed to find merit with his national program. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY BETHEL WILL SOON MOVE TO NEW HOME Perhaps the largest single real estate deal ever made by colored people of this city was consummated on Tuesday when Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, purchased St. Peter's Protestant Church, corner Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street, one of the largest and handsomest pieces of church property in the city. Negotiations for this property commenced some three years ago during the pastorate of Rev. A. L. Gaines at Bethel A. M. E. Church. For some reason the deal fell through. When Rev. Dr. D. G. Hall came to the church a couple of years ago, negotiations were again opened and the final deal was consummated this week. The price paid for the property was $90,000. Twenty thousand dollars was paid last December to bind the bargain, leaving $70,000 to be paid when the deal finally went through. In consequence of the officials of Bethel being unable to realize on their property at a price anywhere near its value, it was thought best not to sell at the pr sent time but to wait for a more convenient season. Consequently a mortgage was given to the vestry of St. Peter's for the balance of $20,000, and a second mortgage on the church itself. It cannot be positively stated at what time Bethel will take possession, as there are a number of items to be considered, such as moving the pulpit, chancel rail, windows, etc. A program will also be outlined covering a period of several weeks, in which all the local churches and denomination will be asked to take part and a large number of prominent devius, Bishops, general officers and others are expected to be present. Word has been received from a number of prominent ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in various sections of the country announcing their intention either to be present or take some active part by donations or otherwise in the opening services. The B. thel congregation is the oldest purely Nugro congregation in the city, having been or anized as early as 1787, although it dates its present history from 1812, as a distinctive African Methodist Church. The present church edifice was built by Bishop Daniel A. Payne, when he was pastor of that church, and is considered one of the finest pieces of church architecture in the interior, in this city. Its massive pillars and beautiful arches, with its dim, religious light, makes one feel on entering it that he is in a sacred place. The present pastor. Rev. D. G Hill. D. D., deserves great credit for P. the splendid fi ancial work done in connection with the purchase of "New Bethel Church."

"I don't want him to fatten yet," William replied, knowingly. "I'm waiting until he gets to be as long as I want him, then I'll begin to widen him out."—Tit-Bits. Note From the Basswood Bugle.

Hilliker had lent his hammer to Deacon Renfrow, who lives four miles out in the country, and by the time the constable had got there and hunted around in the barn for the hammer and got back to the engine house, the angry elements had done their worst and Hank's cornicorb was a mass of smoldering ruins.—Judge's Library.

JUDGE UPHOLDS SUPREME LAW THE TWO STATES IN QUESTION Scheme to Disfranchise the Colored Citizens of Annapolis, Md., Given Black Eye by Justice Thomas J. Morris, Who Bases His Decision on the Fifteenth Amendment. The United States circuit courts for Maryland and Oklahoma have each recently passed upon disfranchisement laws aloned at the Negro. The court in Maryland dealt a stunning blow to the scheme to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, particularly so in Annapolis, where registration was refused colored men under the "grandfather" clause in the election laws for Annapolis. The court also rendered an elaborate opinion in which the Negro's right to vote under the fifteenth amendment was uphold. The Oklahoma case was the result of the recently adopted constitutional amendment which disfranchised 14,000 voters in that state. The case in Maryland was brought by three colored men, William II. Howard, J. B. Anderson and George Brown, claiming damages for being denied registration. The defendant's counsel brought a demurrier to the suit, which was overruled by Judge Thomas J. Morris in a decision which squares faces the question of race disfranchisement. Judge Morris in his decision said, "It is supposable that a properly qualification might, in fact, result in some localities in all Negroes being excluded, and the same might be the result in some localities from an educational test, and it could not be said, although that was the result intended, that it was a discrimination on account of race or color, but would be referable to a different test. By looking at the constitution and laws of Maryland prior to Jan. 1, 1800, how can it be said with any show of reason that any but the white man could vote then, and how can the colore its eyes to the obvious fact that it is for that reason solely that the test is inserted in the Maryland acts? "The fifteenth amendment provides expressly that all citizens of the United States otherwise qualified should be entitled and allowed to vote at all elections in any state, territory, county, city, without distinction of race or color, any constitution, law, custom, usage or regulations of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." The Oklahoma case was an application for a writ of injunction of Daniel Simons of Guthrie restraining an election official from denying him the right to vote. In deciding against Mr. Simons the court said: "It is ordered that the application for an interlocutory injunction be and the same is hereby denied, not on the ground that section 4 of article 3 of the constitution of Oklahoma at the election in August, 1910, is not in violation of the constitution of the United States, but on the sole ground that, although the complainant may have a remedy at law in this court for the deprivation of his vote, this court has no jurisdiction in equity to grant him the relief he seeks from the threatened deprivation of that right under the decision of the United States supreme court in Giles versus Harris, 189 U. S. 475." The decision by the Maryland judge will be taken to the highest court in the land, and, as Judge Morris has been seldom reversed, the whole question of Negro disfranchisement may assume a phase at variance with the wishes of the bourbon sigh. The Oklahoma decision is along the line of the usual evasive way the United States courts have had in deciding similar actions. Colorado. Has Women Legislators. Although women have had the full right of franchise in Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming for several years, they have not asserted the privilege beyond the filling of a few appointive offices. But with the renewed effort on the part of the general woman suffrage movement in the United States they are now aspirants to elective office. Four women of marked executive ability were recently elected to the legislature in Colorado. The Main Cause of Republican Defeat. The Texas Freeman says: "The national administration's tendency toward lily whitism as well as its attitude on the tariff is largely responsible for the political upheaval of the present. Then, too, the colored citizens in the north and east, where their votes count and stand for something, remembered Roosevelt and Brownsville and the perplexed meted out to the race on that occasion." The H. H. Garnet Republican Club. The Henry Highland Garnet Republican club. Brooklyn, is the central organization of colored voters in Kings county. George E. Wilecan, Jr., who is one of the best informed citizens on matters pertaining to racial affairs in the county, was recently elected to the presidency of the club.

POLT TO SEIZE PRESIDENT DIAZ President Diaz Causes the Arrest Of Thousands Of Citizens, and the Prisons Are Overflowing—Americans Getting Out Of Mexico As Fast as Possible—American and Mexican Army Officers Working Together To Prevent Trouble On the Border—Close Watch Being Kept For Madero, the Revolutionary Leader. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Southern Mexico practically has been cut off from the capital, railroad bridges have been blown up or burned, and the revolution has attained great proportions in that section of the republic, especially in Yucatan. This is the burden of unofficial advices received here Tuesday night. Senor de la Barra, the Mexican Ambassador, who declares reports of the revolution to be grossly exaggerated, had no advices from his government. The State Department likewise was without any information aside from that received during the day. The recipients of the unofficial information declare that Vera Cruz will be captured by the revolutionists within three days, and that the revolutionary movement is sweeping northward. A copy of the proclamation issued by General Madero was received here. So far it has not been formally presented to the State Department. It contains an outline of the proposed new government and pledges Mexican protection to American lives and property. ASSASSINATION PLOT The Startling Discovery Made At the Capital. Mexico City (Special). — Documents found in the house of a revolutionary are said to have revealed a conspiracy for the wholesale assassination of prominent government officers, including foreign Minister Creel, Vice-President Corral and other prominent Mexicans, among them Editor Spindola, owner of El Imparcial. Miguel S. Macedo, sub-secretary of the government, was also listed for death. President Diaz was to be taken, but his life spared because of his past services to the country. The bodies of those killed were to be suspended from electric light wires in the streets. The building of El Imparcial was to have been destroyed with dynamite. The papers exposing the conspiracy were discovered during a raid by the police on Sunday. Three employees of El Imparial had been furnished with the explosive and were instructed to use it at the first report of the uprising, which was planned for last Sunday. The seizure of the plans on the day on which they were to be executed is thought to have a great effect in heading off the rebellion. While the government officials insist that the military forces have the revolutionary situation well in hand and can put down the various widely-separated revolts, they cannot conceal their unassainess. The Diaz government is undoubtedly facing a serious revolutionary movement. DR. CRIPPEN HANGED. Pays the Penalty On the Gallows For the Murder Of His Wife, Belle Elmore. London (Special).—Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged early Wednesday morning for the murder of his wife, known as Belle Elmore. All preparations had been made within the gloomy walls of Pentonville Prison, which stands in one of the most dismal sections of London. Public, Executive Officer Ellis, of Rochdale, who hanged a wife murderer at Liverpool Tuesday, arrived in London on the evening train. A few tenements overlook the prison yard, and to bar the tenants from a glimpse of the tragedy a big canvas screen had been put up before the gallows. Only a small group of official witnesses attended, and every effort was made to prevent morbid crowds from gathering in the neighborhood. Father Carey, who has visited Crippen frequently, entered the prison at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening to spend the night with the condemned man and walk with Crippen to the scaffold. Miss Le Neve, at the request of the prisoner, paid a farewell visit to Crippen in the afternoon. She reached the place in a closed cab and was accompanied by an elderly man, who remained outside. Airship Turns Over. Mobile, Ala. (Special)—While descending from a 500-foot flight Aviator J. A. D. McCurdy dipped too near the earth, one of the wing shields striking the ground when going at a high rate of speed, and turning the machine over. The crowds rushed to the end of the field in which the accident happened, but found McCurdy walking about, smiling and uninjured. The aeroplane was badly damaged, although it fell but ten or fifteen feet. ECHOES FROM COLUMBIA FAIR Marked Progress Noted Along Many Lines of Industry. GOVERNOR ANSEL A VISITOR. Thousands in Attendance at Annual Industrial Exhibition Pronounced It to Be the Greatest State Fair Ever Hold by the Colored Citizens of South Carolina. The greatest fair in the history of the Afro-American people in South Carolina was held Nov. 7-12. The exhibits revealing the progress of the race along industrial, educational and commercial lines were the pertinent features of the fair. A significant fact was the unusual interest manifested by the people liv- A. S. S. REV. RICHARD OARHOLL. Ing in the agricultural districts to make creditable exhibits showing the Afro-American ability as an agriculturist and the women's excellent progress in the realm of domestic science. The educational exhibits from Benedict college, Allen university and other institutions were the cynasure of the eyes of thousands visiting the fair. In the booth of this great company were the exhibits of the Durham textile mill of Durham. This new departure by Negroes into an unexplored field of manufacturing is the outcome of the efforts of the officials of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association. Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the Negro State Fair association, is the principal character that caused the fair to be a financial success and the inspiration to the members of the race in South Carolina. He has had a corps of intelligent young men and women throughout the state interesting all classes of people in the race to make creditable exhibits at the fair. Rev. Mr. Carroll is a unique character in the affairs of Afro-Americans of the Palmetto State. He contends outright for the Negro to be given every chance for his development, and when he is to lecture at any place in the state thousands of white people take advantage to hear him. When he expressed the desire to relinquish his position as president of M. B. the association the leading whites of Columbia with the representative Negroes of the state visited him and requested him not to give up the presidency. Governor Ansel of South Carolina addressed over 5,000 Afro-Americans at the fair on Friday. On Thursday over 20,000 people visited the fair. The man who assisted Rev. Mr. Carroll in making the fair an unprecedented one is Dr. J. H. Goodwin of Weston, S. C., one of the leading physicians and public spirited citizens of the state. Dr. Goodwin as superintendent of the fair demonstrated his executive ability for the furtherance of a work that is reflecting much credit upon the Afro-Americans in South Carolina. M.

Richard Harding Davis, at a football game in Philadelphia, praised the voices of the young undergraduates aboutting their weird college yells. "It makes me think of a Locust street wife," said Mr. Davis, smiling. "She turned to her husband one night at dinner and remarked: "My dear, the first time I saw you was at Franklin Field. Your head was thrown back, your mouth wide open and your face was very red—you were yelling your college yell." "Yes, I remember," said the young man. "And I noticed," she continued, "what a remarkable voice you had." "Yes, you spoke of it at the time," said he. "But what makes you think of it now?" "Oh, nothing," said the bride. "Only I wish the baby hadn't inherited it. That's all." "My son," remarked the stern parent, "when I was your age I had very little time for frivolous diversions." "Well," replied the young man, "you didn't miss much. Believe me, this gay life isn't what it looks to be." Home Vaudeville. "So you used to be on the stage?"

FIRST UNIVERSAL RACE CONGRESS Important Event to Occur In London In July, 1911. A GREAT OPEN PARLIAMENT. It Will Be the Most Significant Gathering Ever Convened For the Purpose of Discussing Man's Relation to Man Since the Beginning of the Twentieth Century. By N. BARNETT BODSON. Perhaps the greatest event of the twentieth century, so far as the colored races are concerned, will be the first universal race congress, which will meet at the University of London: London, England, July 26-29, 1911. The president of the congress is the Right Hon. Lord Werdale, the chairman of the general committee is Professor Felix Aller of New York and the general secretary Gustav Spiller of London, who has been visiting the United States. As Mr. Spiller said, "The object of the congress is to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so called white and so called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between then a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation." Judging from the reactionary tone in America, one would expect that such a congress would receive scant welcome in the world, but this is not so. The congress has received heavy support from hundreds of influential men. Among those who are backing the project are many members of the permanent court of arbitration, a majority of the delegates to the second Eagle conference, twelve British governors, eight A. B. PROFESSOR W. E. B. DUHONS. British premiers, more than forty colonel bishops, some 130 professors of international law, many well known anthropologists and sociologists and a majority of the council of the inter-parliamentary union. In this congress each race will be asked to speak for itself and to speak frankly, and the speeches will be issued in a bound volume before the congress convenes. The first speaker will be an East Indian, the next two will be German and French scientists and the fourth the general secretary, Mr. Spiller, who will speak on the problem of race equality. The next session will be taken up in discussions of the general conditions of progress, and there will be heard such scientists as Sergi and Deniker on conditions of racia) progress. These sessions will be continued Thursday morning with papers from China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, India, Egypt and Haiti. Then there will come a series of papers on the peaceful contact between civilizations and on problems of interracial economics. The American Negro, however, will be mostly interested in the sessions of Friday, when the vital question of the modern conscience in relation to racial questions will come up. Israel Zangwil will speak for the Jews, Sir Charles Dilke will speak for forced labor, Dr. Blyden will speak on West Africa, Dr. DuBois on the Negro in America, Dr. Eastman on the American Indian and Mr. Jahavo on the South African native. Two secretaries for America have been appointed—the Rev. Frederick L. Lynch and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Dr. DuBois is specially concerned with arousing interest among colored people. He plans to organize a select committee of leading colored people, who are going to be asked to attend the congress in person. Of course all others who wish may attend, but it is particularly desired that the attendance shall be representative. Interesting articles on the race's congress have appeared in the Review of Reviews, New York Independent and the New York Evening Post. The Ethical World says: "For every day purposes we may conveniently divide mankind into the white, black and yellow families. All history tells the sad tale of their wars and jealousies, and later history also tells the tale of a dawning sense of oneness. DOES YOUR BACK ACHE? Backache is usually kidneyache. There is only one way to remove the pain, you must reach the cause—the kidneys. No better kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. They permanently cure all kidney ills. Gambia Gambia John C. Nolan, 173 K St. So. Boston, Mass., says: "I had backache, pains in my head, dizzy spells and urine scalded terribly. I doctored with physicians and finally went to C—Hospital. Instead of growing better I grew worse and left the hospital entirely discouraged. Luckily I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and was completely cured.

AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE Easily Prepared Medicine Which Is Said to Regulate the Kidneys and End Backache. To make up enough of the "Dandelion Mixture" which is claimed to be a prompt cure for Backache and Kidney and Bladder trouble, get from any good Prescription Pharmacist one-half ounce fluid extract Dandelion; one ounce Kungon Compound and three ounces Compound-Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. Those who have tried it say it acts gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys and entire urinary system, relieving the most severe Backache at once. A well-known medical authority recommends the prescription to be taken the moment you suspect any Kidney, Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a constant dull Backache, or if the urine is thick, cloudy, offensive or full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a scalding sensation; or for too frequent urination during the night. This is a real harmless vegetable mixture which could not cause injury to anyone and the relief which is said to immediately follow its use is a revelation to men and women who suffer from Backache, Kidney trouble or any form of Urinary disorder. This is surely worth trying, as it is easily mixed at home or any druggist will do it for you, and doesn't cost What Our People Are Doing in Durham, N. C. The following partial list of the business activities of our people in Durham, N. C. is very interesting in view of the many difficulties which confront the race in conducting business enterprises which require skill and experience. The list covers many lines of industry and is as follows: Three insurance companies, the Mechanics bank, two drug stores, one shoe store, two dressmaking establishments, one iron foundry, the Durham textile mills, twenty-five groceries and the Durham Elite Mattress factory; two first class tailoring establishments, five physician, two dentists, one lawyer, one undertaker, the Durham Reformed Publishing company, several barber shops and one of the largest brick manufacturing establishments in the country, valued at $25,000. BOTH CAESARS THE SAME. Evidence of Prejudice Easily Discovered in Both Parties. Speaking presumably of the recent election and the part which colored men played in bringing about the defeat of the Republican candidates in the various states and municipalities, the Indianapolis Freeman wisely asks: "What else was there to do but to do it? "Prejudice and discrimination are on the increase. Restrictions of a harmful character are painfully evident. All of this with but very little protest. These things do not, but very from parties as such, but from the units of parties—the individual." A party will behave no better than its component parts. "The stream will rise no higher than its source and the rest of the little philosophies. A Republican hotel keeper discriminates as certainly as a Democratic hotel keeper. What's in an appeal from Caesar to Caesar?" CENTURY OF PROGRESS TOLD AT ABYSSINIA. Influential Baptist Church Observes Hundred and Second Anniversary. The celebration of the one hundred and second anniversary of the Abyssinian Baptist church, on West Fortieth street, New York, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D. pastor, began on Sunday, Nov. 13, and came to a successful close on Tuesday evening, the 22d, with a great reunion of members and friends of the church. The opening sermon was preached by the pastor. It was a gem of thought and historical data leading up through the years in brief of the church's long and eventful career. The services each evening of the nine days were attended by throngs of persons. Many, however, could not get inside of the church, so great was the crowds. Among the pastors and choirs invited and who took part in the exercises were: On Monday evening, Nov. 14, Rev. Matthew W. Gilbert, D. D., and choir Mount Olivet Baptist church; Tuesday evening, Rev. George H. Sims of the Union Baptist church; Wednesday evening, Rev. Beverly C. Ransom, Bethel A. M. E. church; Thursday evening, Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn: Friday, Rev. W. H. Brooks of St. Mark's M. E. church. The sermon on Sunday morning, Nov. 20, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. R. D. Wynn of Newark, N. J., who formerly served the church as pastor for sixteen years or more. In the afternoon of the same day at 3 o'clock there was an immense audience present, the occasion being an interdenominational platform meeting, at which many helpful addresses were given by persons well known in religious circles. POWER OF THE BALLOT. Heavy Vote of Afro-Americans Cause of Republican Defeat. Heretofore the Negro has been blamed for all the troubles that have come to the Republicans, and that without cause, says the Ballimore Afro-American Ledger. This time some of its troubles may well be hid at his door. He got tired of living off promises and in a number of states decided to help the other fellow, and did. In New York state the Negro was a factor in the election of Dix for governor; in Ohio and Missouri the Negro took an active part in the defeat of the G. O. P. and says he will do it again. Sound Mutual Benefit Concern. One of the safest and most worthy business concerns conducted by Afro-Americans in Texas is the American Mutual Benefit association in Houston. With the large population from which the association has to draw for members and reliable business agents it ought to develop into a great institution for the mutual help of its members and the race throughout the state. Effect of Rooseveltian Bossism. It can be plainly seen from the great Democratic tidal wave which swept over New York city and state on election day that Rooseveltian bossism put the Republican party out of business in fine shape. Much Expected of Governor Dix. Bruce Grit of Yonkers, N. Y., says, "Now that Dix is elected governor several of the Negro Democrats in this neck of the words will take up their residence in Albany on Jan. 1."

Phone Mad. 4067 MASS MEETING AT SHILOH MASS MEETING AT SILHOU That the colored business man should seek to get a strong foothold in Northwest Baltimore before the business chances are gobbled up by others and that these men of the race in business should be loyally supported was urged by Mr. Harry O. Wilson, president of the Mutual Benefit Society at a largely attended mass meeting at Shilou Baptist Church Thanksgiving night. The meeting was the result of the interest of the pastor, Rev. W. W. Allen, in the possibilities of racial business enterprises, and was also addressed by Mr. Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times; Mr. P. G. Gibson, president of the Penny Savings Bank; Mr. Lonnie Branch, of the Mutual Benefit Society, and Rev. Allen, all of whom strongly urged the importance of some men of the race who are in business. "When we spend a dollar," said Rev. Allen, "with one of our business men we are helping our own and paving a way for the success of our boys and girls. We, everyone of us, have opportunities which we least suspect, and we should certainly take advantage of them."
