Valdosta, Ga., March 17.—Will Clark, a reader of the Chicago Defender, has made a record for himself. He defended himself and thereby defended the Race. It is the same old story. A white man wanted to get the best of a Race man but the Race man won out. Didney Newsome was a farmer at Clyatteville a few miles from here. A respectable woman of the Race lived near the town and she was a widow and had one son. The boy had been schooled and had lived in the same old house as the race man. He was determined to be a man of great regard. His rights as well as any other man. He did not bow or cringe. When his father died, his mother was appointed a “newman,” and he was the first of all the men of the farm. He would not go as he felt he was due there just as much as his mother. Later the farm was rented to a white man. He was a “newman,” but Will Clark said he would remain there until he could return to the father said he was to live there as long as he lived. Newsome got up some “respectable white men” around the race. He was a “newman,” but he did not they come to Clark’s house for? Clark had read in the Chicago Defender, if you must die, take one with you. The “newman” and the “newman” came. Clark was ready and just they were. Clark was to leave, firing guns and pistol shots in the air, Clark, who had enough ammunition in his house to blow up Mexico, fired the fire, and Newsome fell dead. White was the first to die in his house. When he was too late, Clark alighted. After the shooting Clark left and has not been heard of since. No effort will be made to catch him is the reason why he was not so late. He was a “newman,” but he had a good deal of his. His home, at the same time, was in the same place as he was. REV.

Tom congratulated him, and had forgotten the incident until the moment he was packing up and making ready to make the next stand. The manager was passing out the individual pay envelopes and everything was in the regular get-away bag. He was putting it into his dressing room and handed on top of his trunk. Mechanically he tore the envelope open and dumped the contents out for $4. He then put the bag in his look and stingered back with a gift of angust. For there, mixed up in his hard-carned pay was—a bad half-dollar. The Billy King Players are in their third week and have grown steadily in popularity from their first show to a Washington audience. The offering for the current week is the "streaming farewell comedy," "Neighbors," "this is a picture so true to life, and with every day occurrence familiar to all, but there was a laugh every minute," the competent aggregation of performers held the stage. The story introduced Mrs. Hattie McHosh and Mrs. Stella Harris as two actors, and the other at the wash-tub, fussing over domestic and social rights, and on the verge of the high that comes off, Billy King and Benton street are the two husbands. Likewise in perpetual scraps that ever result in a laugh and all is over, Charles Moore has the policeman, Mrs. Howard Kelly as the gossiping visitor, who talks about each of her neighbors.

Monday night was the first time Misses King and Gee have worked together since last spring, but the sing-lig and dancing act they put on was the "last word" in neatness, classiness and all-round up-to-dateness. The songs were catchy, the dancing entirely new and their costumes were "dreams" of the modiste's art, the creation of Mme. Lucy Woods, of New York. Miss King's male impersonation showed up handsomely, using full evening dress. She is the logical successor to Mme. Alda Overton Walker in this line of work. Miss Gee's final costume was the wonder of all femininity present.

Top THE GRAND. An excellent bill was presented here on Monday night, the candy spot being held by the strolling team, Buster & Balley. They are exceptionally clever, the comedy of Balley, who works under cork, and the clever dancing of Buster deserving special mention. They introduced several new song numbers, the best of which were 1. Want to Live and Die in Old Dixleland, which was written by Will Marion Gook, and Berris and Chris Smith's popular song number, The Fox Trot Ball. The burlesque society number at the finish was a plot, and they held proceedings for several bows. The Musical Stories were great, the feminine end of the team having an excellent voice, her partner being a good pianist and an artist on the xylophone. Clinton & Rooney proved a team of high quality and used a short stretch of movie film in their act. Juggling Bannans did some remarkable work with the Indian clubs, and kept up a running fire of talk during their work which added much to their popularity. The other act, which closed the bill, was Happy Harrison & Co., which included a man, woman, cat, dog, monkey and jackass. The whole bunch were well trained and held well their spot on a well balanced bill. Montgomery, McFain & Co., held over for the last half last week continued a good song, talking and dancing act, good good, and opened the bill. The familiar team of Green & Pugh, were songs and some new talk which went big. Their haze duo brought a heavy force, were forced to respond. Claudia Coleman, the comedian, did some clever and unusual work, and the Flying Valentines, a European casting of Brooks and Brooks's popular Billy Co. are booked for the near future.

It has been made by the country to have that the United States are prepared, and efforts are now being made to put the United States on the map of PRBARED. House of Congress provides for a national guard of $24,000, the full number to be recruited at the end of six years. volunteers in Each district. In addition to the organization of the regular army, and Senator Chamberlain, provision is made for the organization of volunteer forces in each congressional district. More liberal appropriations for the volunteer forces are intended to help a force that force are included. The volunteer force authorized will be a strictly federal force and will not be unauthorized. The provision is made for an officer's reserve corps, intended to embrace students at colleges and other institutions of learning where military instruction is a part of the curriculum. This provision is provided to induce men of the regular army to enter the reserve and a payment of $24 per annum will be made so as to equip them with the war department authorities. To those enlisted men of the regular army who remain six years with the college, among whom are bound those hostilities, the army must missilized officers, an opportunity to enter the civil service under the war department is provided. For the younger officers, the opportunity to enter the United States academy as cadets. Enlisted men between 18 and 22 years of age may be appointed to the army and the corps of cadets is increased to provide for this, said Senator Chamberlain, in the terms of the Senate bill the continental army plan evolved by ex-Secretary of War Garrison is to be given a thorough trilist without making it the backbone of the second line of defense.

Now that the whole country favors pre-armed men, come the return of the race in arms so that this group of people will be ready to take on this new preparedness. Military training will be more morally and physically: decreases crime among youthful bandits, and eventually such training would make for stronger wood and an insurance policy for peace. There will be greater amount of training required now than years ago. The machine gun companies will require young men of high school and college to be trained and will secure the non-commissioned and commissioned offices. This opportunity will undoubtedly come, for it's now permeating the entire country. The hours of training will be even and even the President of a States, have seen the "hand-wall" well.

With this law in effect the decent and respectable membriess will not spend their money to go to a city with their laws as ordinances. Such a law is next to putting a race in slavery and this Race should not endure or countenance such a thing. It is a slap at a people who have been oppressed and have proven their loyalty on many battlefields and have never become anarchists; they are real Americans with no hyphen to their nationality. It is a slap at a people who feel it has a divine right to protect its flag; 12,000,000 to give up their lives to accept its honor and then be burned and lynched and segregated and then expect to be treated with such violence it is said that no of any degree of intelligence would come to St. Louis to attend any kind of a convention.

Feneu sat up laced to the right, and agas Galah brought the band their feet with a marvelous catch.

WATERS ON STAFF OF SPORTING NEWS Charleston, W. Va., March 17.—"Phil" Waters, the well-known political leader, platform orator and all-round athlete, has been signally honored by an appointment for the sixth consecutive term as staff correspondent of the Sporting News, the foremost author of sports in the country, published in St. Louis, Mo. The appointment is exceedingly popular in this city, where Mr. Waters is recognized as the best-informed man in Charleston, or in the state for that matter, on news of his athletic accomplishments, field,油, gun and other diversions of an athletic trend. He is living warmly conculated upon all sides, and it is the diversal verdict that no better selection had been made. The Charlestonote says that the official title of his "shooting events," and generosity of the opinion that he will continue to be a tower of strength to the ruling News, which pays him the rare appellation of printing his budget of income—and is glad to handle all the "he" he can put out, be the matter national, or an editorial comment. "It's" contributions not only appear in the sporting News, but are widely remitted in the athlete and sporting union, under the auspices of all over land. He has a natural "nose fors" and the knack of putting it a particularly attractive fashion. EDITOR ON A VISIT. GIVES WIFE BIRTHDAY PARTY Atlantic City, N.

Five stops and a finishing line they caught him in the ninth and three-fifths, the world's record time. The bleachers which were spell bound as he raced down the chute and he looks out for a tremendous cheer. Parker, another member of the Twenty-fifth, was on the heels of Gilbert and only by a wonderful burst of speed did he win and place from the white hat to First Infantry.

(1) When no other refined people know enough to set a man's home on fire for no other reason than that he is colored, it is high time some drastic measures were resorted to by the offended party to teach them a lesson. Mr. Jefferson shot at the retraining form of a white man and feels sure that he wounded him. That he believes in preparedness, is offended by the presence of a rifle, shotgun, revolver and a huge dog in his home. This is as it should be. A man has the right and should exercise it of protecting his own home. If this policy was carried out in the southland conditions would change markedly for the better. No more would we hear of a handful of whites driving ten times their number of blacks like a lot of sheep. What is needed in our race is backhome; strike back when struck at policy should be adopted. No one respects a weakling. Suppose the odds are against you, take a chance; the right is bound to come to the surface. If there ever was a bunch of cowards it is that class who think it smart to prey on the inoffensive colored man. A few determined colored men could run an arm of them off the map if they just made up their mind to do so. Let us stick within the law but let us also fight for our rights as long as we have breath in our bodies. THE AWAKENING. IT IS AN ILL WIND that blows no one good. Deplorable as the great conflict now raging in Europe is when the smoke of battle is finally cleaned away there will rise simultaneously with the structural rebuilding a race conscience building that will be broader, bigger, better in every way. Today the 'tendency is to draw within the folds of each race, creed or sect only those who conform to a certain rule laid down by them. Those who are on the outside are either enemies or rank far beneath them. How many really know the causes that lie back of this present war? In a general way we are told the murdering of two royal personages by Servians and the inability of Austria to secure satisfactory redress brought these countries to arms. And yet the world knows had there not been something antagonistic lurking in the minds and hearts of those people and of those in other countries associated with them, this war would never have been. In the light of past events it would seem that combined with an uncontrollable desire to rule the seas and to extend their territorial possessions is a great racial hatred that every so often since the dark ages rises up to disturb the equilibrium of things in general. It has been and apparently always will be a struggle between the white and the colored races for supremacy. We constantly are warned to beware of the "Yellow peril." By yellow it meant every nation that is tinged even slightly. It is well to beware of the yellow peril, to fear the return to power of the darker races. The rule of the white man has been traughed with inhumanity, savages could not have done more. The treatment of the blacks by European powers in their possessions has in the main been of the most brutal and inhuman kind. While within the borders of our own country where there is not even the semblance of an excuse, beside the treatment accorded American citizens who happen to be of dark skin, the horrors of witchcraft pale into insignificance. In Johannesburg, South Africa, there are between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 blacks to 1,300,000 whites. The former have shown a growing race consciousness and are entirely in control of matters in their portion of the cloze. When the darker raws awaken to the full realization of their power there will be a readjustment of things such as the world never before has seen. ALIKE BUT DIFFERENT. THERE ISN'T very much good that can be said of Georgia, but giving every dog his due it is admitted that they occasionally make a mistake and 'o right. Recently a millionaire was charged with assault and battery for ing three pernicious with his motor car. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison to pay a fine of 250.0. The court upheld the decision of the lower court by the judge, tion of being the first millionaire member of a chain gang. CHICGO DEFENL HIGH COST OF LIVING SOUTHERN CONCUBINAGE OSTRACISM SEGREGATION LYNCHING DISFRANCE HISEMENT JIM CROW LAWS RACE PREJUDICE In the real estate game the situation is far different. Not every man is in a position to pay a large sum of money spot cash for a piece of property and yet with a little time all obligations can be met satisfactorily. It is dangerous, however, to make an initial payment as low as one-tenth the valuation, for the reason that the interest, taxes, special assessments, improvements, etc., which come as regularly as clock work, will take all one's available funds and leave nothing to pay on the principal. When the Grim Reaper calls the heirs will find a legacy of debts awaiting them. Not less than one-fifth of the cost price should be paid in advance; better if it could be made one-third or one-half, even if to do this one must wait a few years; savings can be carving something in the meantime. It is hard to properly after having spent your all to get it, but this can be avoided by simply using ordinary business sense and not biting off more than you can chew. STICKING BY MAYOR THOMPSON. THE ENEMIES of the city administration are leaving no stone unturned to harass the mayor and his supporters, and are stooping to do tricks unworthy even the most degraded politician. Strange to say, some of our biggest daily papers seem to be hand in hand with these disgruntled ones. The closing of the saloons on Sunday started the ball rolling. The advocates of lawlessness and disorder immediately began a campaign of rule or ruin. The courts were first appealed to and when satisfaction could not be secured mud throwing was the next course. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a page from a document with a header and several columns of text. The header is not clearly visible, but it seems to be a title or heading. The columns are filled with text, but the specific content is not legible due to the blurry quality of the image. Because Mayor Thompson was honest enough to admit that the colored vote aided materially in electing him and was fair enough to give us representation in the city government, he has been subjected to all kinds of ridicule. Newspapers printed cartoons showing him helpless in the hands of his black supporters, etc., all of which passed right over his head as water would run off a duck's back. There isn't the slightest doubt but what he will do is to be the he is right and has the backbone to say so and stick to it. Chicago, like that man, has been in the hands of "graft committees" so long that an administration has been based evidently does not appeal to this type of gentry very strongly. We threw our full support to Mayor Thompson during his campaign, believing he would make good. He has and he can still count on us being as loyal throughout his administration. He is our friend; no more need be said. THE TARIFF. WISE MEN CHANGE THEIR MINDS and occasionally in the Democratic party can be found a man with intelligence above the ordinary, and that man invariably adopts or attempts to adopt Republican principles. We find no less a personage than our esteemed President doing so, and it is true all along the line. Recently a West Virginia Democrat introduced into the house a measure to create a tariff commission with power to alter existing tariff rates. This is the first time a Democrat borrowed the Republican doctrine that the tariff commission should study the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. As it is, American products are sold in foreign countries for a lower price than in the United States. Not a very satisfactory state of affairs. As usual the poor are the ones who suffer most. Taxing the luxuries wouldn't matter so much but when a heavy tax is imposed on necessities it is a culmity. The main support of the Democratic party is found in the laboring classes, who in the last analysis are the least protected by the Democratic platform. Why they follow blindly such false leaders is a problem as yet unsolved. But suffice to say that in the past three years even they have probably had their fill and will be found on the back of the big elephant next November. ACCORDING TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Chicago's loss in dollars and cents on account of measles the past year was $1,675,423 and 236 people succumbed to the disease. Many parents pay little attention to the disease, thinking it one of the things that must fall to the lot of every child, but those who have followed the advise given by Dr. Williams in our Health column know how utterly absurd a belief is. Any disease, no matter how trivial, lessens one's vitality just so much. There is only one royal road to longevity and that is by the good health way. IN TIMES OF PEACE we're not so much but let it be whispered around that trouble is brewing and the thought will come quickly to our white brethren, "the black troops fought nobly, why not give them another opportunity to respond to an en core," and forthwith they send the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry and anything else they can muster up that has a tinge of color right down on the Mexican border where they can have a splendid opportunity to be shot from ambush. As targets, oh, how they love us! THE CHILDREN OF ST. LOUIS raised by popular subscription several thousand dollars to buy an elephant for their public park. They already have an elephant on their hands in that segregation ordinance their dear fathers put over a few weeks ago. CHASING VILLA in a "Yellow taxi" wouldn't be half bad if he would only stay on the boulevards, but he has such a nasty habit of hiding in the mountains and bushes and in ravines. Perhaps it would be better to walk in vaudeville. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

J., Mar. 24—Assocblyman Whitman of Atlantic City failed in his effort to have the Militia Committee of the House release his bill providing for the organization of a race militia regiment, as secretary of state. Whitman introduced the bill by the lieutenant in the behest of Mr. James Lightfoot of Atlantic City and other prominent Race men of Atlantic county and the state of New Jersey. For some reason the committee had hoped to bill the bill, but Mr. Whitman had hoped to have. He took up the matter very earnestly today with the members of the committee, but still the bill was not reported. WEALTHY FARMER DIES Camden, S. C., March 24—Lovel Kirkland, one of the best known men in this county, and probably the wealthiest Race man in this section of the state, died at his home near Westville, on March 11, he was quite aged—having been born a shoestring child and wise business judgment, had accumulated a quite fortune. He paid taxes on four tracts of land amounting in all to 3,005 acres. He also owned 63 lots and buildings in the town of Westville, besides personal property and cash money amounting to around $5,000. At the time he had 40 bales of cotton stored on his farm. He was a good farmer and was well liked by both races. ONE DEAD IN FIFTY- FOOT PLUNGE ONE DEAD IN FIFTY- FOOT PLUNGE Gadsen, Ga., March 24.—(Special) James Ward is dead and Joe Montgomery is seriously injured as the result of a fifty-foot fall while taking part in a race. The accident occurred at a street carnival, which is being held under the auspices of the Iron Moulders' Union. Ward was assisting in inflating the balloon and was standing in the mouth of the gas bag. When the word "mold" was written, Ward became mixed up and could not extricate himself from the ropes and persisted in clinging to one.

News reached here from Frankfort by wires to Prof. A. J. Aycock, principal of the Eastern school, who did some effective work against the bill which was put to sleep in the House. Louisville citizens are greatly pleased over the opposition to the bill made by Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Other strong men who fought the bill were Dr. J. C. Moore, the president of the A. B. Cooper, Prof. S. O. Johnson, A. B. McAfee, Len Haley, Lee Brown, R. C. Simmons and Rev. Walls.

The plan the Munroe Cotton Oil Co. was on fire three different times during the night but the damage was small. The total loss of the fires was about $45,000. DAILY PAPER PAYS TRIBUTE TO TYLER --- Columbus, Ohio, March 24.—Now that Phil Brown of Kentucky has been elected delegate-at-large to the National Republican Convention at Chicago in June, Raphil Tyler has the same bee buzzing around his bonnet here. From the failure of the Republican convention to the daily papers and the strong organization backing the political leader, there is every indication that he will have a splendid chance. The Ohio State Journal speaks of the candidate in a highly endorsement, and he does not disappoint. The editorial follows: "Perhaps it is not proper for us to speak editorially, but so far as we are individually concerned, we are free to say that we propose to vote for Ralph W. Tyler to the Republican National Convention. We will do this, first, because Mr. Tyler is a worthy man and will honor Ohio in the delegation; second, because he is a respected representative of a people who have always been faithful to the Republican Party, he was from an office which he was filling with great credit, because he was a Republican; fourth, because a self-constituted directory has assumed to name this delegation without consent in the absence of any prompt a man to vote) for Mr. Tyler, and taking them altogether, they are invinible, and we say this without any reflection upon the other gentlemen themselves who have been good opportunities for the Republican party to show in a modest way its appreciation of the Colored vote." forest weald, been tapped region in the city of metal medical plants. metals and mines one of the few co mount mines.

BRAZILIANS HONORED IN EAST New York City, March 24—Since the war Brazilians have been coming here to the markets and they have been stopping at the best hotels in this city.

Their interest to New York hotel men has been so great that the bell hops are being the languages to interpret them and show them the courtesies. The society people in the hotel they did not speak the language, they would be treated as "Colored-Americans."
