IN UNION THERE EST SINISTAR TWENTY-NINTH Y TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 9. Aspiration Hat ___ THE QUEEN OF WALES IT may be the height or the upward effect of this chic and daring creation that has given it its name, but in either instance the title is appropriate. Here we have the narrow brim and the tall trimming that characterize the fall fashion in millinery. The hat is of black velvet, the brim mounted and the crown surrounded by a mass of soft curled ostrich from which spring a dense cluster of straight, tall feathers. Many Varieties and Styles Are Being Offered—Charming Creation of White Cloth. Little people are likely to be careless about their clothes, and hats especially are tossed carelessly about, and unless a hat has been held in reserve for a dignified, well-groomed home-coming, mother or nurse may be obliged to go or send to town for this accessory. There are a great many varieties from which to select the early fall chapeau. There are hats of white cloth, of heavy, corded silk, and of suede. A charming white cloth hat has a dome-shaped crown, finished at the bottom with a plated cloth band. About this is twisted white wool cord, ending in large wool balls. Another style, sure to be becoming, is of rough white cloth, with a band of royal blue velvet, and at the side a tiny round cluster of brilliant red wool berries and green leaves. A delightful color scheme this, and every effective. A style sure to suit the curly-haired girl is of ecru corded silk, with black and cerise satin facing. A short, blunt ecru feather stands on one side, while a row of flat buttons, made of black satin, with cerise rims, trims the other side. This simple dress might be made up in lined or any washing material. The skirt has slight fullness at the waist, and is trimmed at foot of center back and front by cotton braid, sewn on in half-diamond shapes; two buttons are sewn above this. The kimono bodice is trimmed the same at neck, waist and on sleeves. Materials required: Three and one-half yards 36 inches wide, two dozen yards braid, one dozen buttons. THE GAZETTE N.

The hat is of black velvet, the brim surmounted and the crown surrounded by a mass of soft curled ostrich from which spring a dense cluster of straight, tall feathers. Smaller Chapeaux Will Necessitate Radical Changes in the Fashioning of Collours. The gradual revival of the small hat is causing several modifications in the style of our coiffures. The day of piles upon piles of curls has quite passed, and it is even considered good style to wear the hair almost flat, so long as it is not strained back from the face. In fact, there are a few women who have always kept to this fashion of dressing their hair, and there is one big dressmaker, noted for her distinction, who insists upon her models doing the same thing. They part their hair in the middle, take it loosely back from the brow, and gather it into a rather protruding coll on the crown of the head. A tortoise shell pin or two, a silver or jeweled dagger, or some equally rare but simple ornament is the only decoration allowed with this style of coifure. In all styles, however, it is now the right thing to avoid ribbons, jeweled bangles, tulle and all things which suggest the turban. The only people who will be sorry to see the new fashions in this particular detail of the toilet are the hair dressers, who have been making fortunes out of false hair. To Clean Kid Gloves Take a little sweet milk and a place of white or brown soap. Fold a clean towel three or four times, spread it over your dress and spread out the glove your dress on it. Take a large piece of white flannel, dip it in the milk, then rub it upon the soap and rub the glove downward toward the fingers, holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Continue this process until the glove, if white, looks of a dingy yellow, but, if colored, looks dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and then put it on your hand, and it will be soft, smooth, glossy and clean. Take care, however, to omit no part of the glove in rubbing it and see that all the soiled parts are thoroughly cleaned. This process applies only to white and colored kid gloves. For black gloves that are soiled, turned white and otherwise injured, take a teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few drops of ink into it, and rub it all over the gloves with the tip, and rub it of a feather; then let them dry in the sun. White kid boots and slippers can also be cleaned by the first process to look "as good as new," and black kid boots and slippers can be restored to their pristine gloss by the latter method. Witch Hazel Cream. The witch hazel cream formula given below is excellent. You will find it a good cream for cleansing. Of course fat is the basis of all tissue-building creams. One ounce each of white wax and spermaceti, one-quarter pint of oil of almonds. Melt; pour into a mortar, which has been heated by being immersed some time in boiling water. Very gradually add three ounces of rose water and one ounce of witch hazen and assiduously stir the mixture until an emulsion is formed, and afterward until the mixture is nearly cold.

WWW.YOUNGERSCO.COM MEDICAL MEN AT HAMPTON MEDICAL MEN AT HAMPTON Thlrteenth Annual Session of Negro Medical Association Most Notable of All. NEXT SESSION AT TUSKEGEE CLAIM THAT NEGRO IS INHERENTLY BUSCETIBLE TO HOOKWORM DISEASE DENIED-INTERESTING PAPERB READ. Hampton, Va.-At the thirteenth annual session of the National Medical association, held in this city last week, Dr. H. F. Gamble of Charleston, W. Va., was elected president to succeed Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington, D. C. The election of officers resulted as follows: H. F. Gamble, Charleston, W. Va., president; William A. Cox, Cambridge, Mass., vice-president; John A. Kenney, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., general secretary; F. H. Ellott, Portsmouth, Va., assistant secretary; J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C., treasurer; Harry S. Pope, Baltimore, pharmaceutical vice-president; Julia P. Coleman, Washington, D. C., pharmaceutical secretary; Dr. George Cannon, Jersey City, N. J., chairman of the executive board (re-elected); Dr. W. E. Sterrs, Decatur, Ala., secretary of the executive board (re-elected). Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington, D. C., was chosen from the surgical section to fill the vacancy on the executive board caused by the expiration of the term of Dr. George Cleveland Hall of Chicago. Dr. J. A. Robinson of Darlington, S. C., was selected to fill the place just vacated by Doctor Cannon, who is now a member-at-large. The other members of the executive board are: N. F. Mos HAMPTON UNIVERSITY GRADUATE HALL, NEW sell, Philadelphia; Amanda V. Gray, Washington, D. C.; M. N. Marshall, Washington, D. C.; M. A. Van Horn, Newport, R. I.; J. W. Jones, Winston-Salem, N. C.; M. F. Wheatland, Newport, R. I. Tuskegee institute, Ala., was selected as the next meeting place of the association in response to a cordial invitation extended by Booker T. Washington and the Alabama State Medical association. Doctor Gamble, the newly-elected head of the N. M. A., has been a tireless worker for the success of the organization, and his election to the presidency aroused much enthusiasm. This year's election passed off smoothly and was void of any sensational features. In the preliminary canvass, Dr. C. H. Shepard of Durham, N. C., received a complimentary vote, but he promptly moved to make the selection of Doctor Gamble unanimous. In its resolution the association reaffirmed its devotion to the work of improving the physical condition of the race; recommended the appointment of a committee to further the development of a closer relationship between the national and local bodies, and urged that local organizations assume a more active and less spasmodic leadership in the campaign against tuberculosis, high infantile and child mortality, and unsanitary conditions that beset us. The N. M. A. tendered sincere thanks to the officers of Hampton institute for their kindness in placing their buildings and grounds at the disposal of the association, and acknowledged its indebtedness to Dr. W. E. Atkins and his associates on all of the local committees of the Tidewater Medical association and the citizens at large of this section. The declaration also voted the deep sense of apreciation felt by all visitors for the gracious welcome address of the mayor of Hampton; for the very full reports of the proceedings of the meetings published each day by the local press; to Superintendent B. J. Megginson of the Hampton Roads Traction company, for the extra facilities extended in operating cars beyond the usual hours and for the uniform courtesy extended by the employees of the company; and to the pastor and members of the First Baptist church for their generosity in allowing the use of their handsome edifice for a public meeting. Dr. A. M. Curtis presided, and in his annual address he made a number of recommendations looking to the development of the N. M. A. He urged a closer union between the national and state bodies. The work of the several sections stood out in bold relief and was of an unusually high order. The meetings were full of life and the programs were carried out as planned, supplementing in harmonious fashion the labors of the general convention. The papers faithfully reflected the rapid advance made in the threefold professions embraced by the association. Surgical section, Dr. A. M. Brown Birmingham, Ala., chairman; Dr. R. L. Jones, Charleston, W. Va., secre- tary; medical section, J. J. France Portsmouth, Va., chairman; denta- section, Dr. Rosie C. Brown, Brow- mond, Va., chairman; Dr. C. O. Lee Winston-Salem, N. C., secre- tary; pharmaceutical section, Dr. W. L. Board, Washington, D. C., chairman Commissions to Coordinate Their Work Commissions to Continue Their Work Dr. J. A. Kenney's report as chairman of the commission to investigate the cause and extent and cure of the hookworm disease was an exhaustive presentation of the subject. He held that the statistics showing the negro to be inherently susceptible to this malady are false, and that an honest investigation will demonstrate that the colored people are no more susceptible to the hookworm than any other people under like conditions. The leaders of the medical profession TES' EXHIBITION AT CARNEGIE YORK CITY. are asked to insist upon membership in the national anti-hookworm commission, and thus see to it that the facts are honestly placed before the public. Dr. M. F. Wheatland's report from the commission on tuberculosis evoked a vigorous discussion. Dr. A. M. Townsend's study of pellagra complaint opened a profitable line of discussion and Doctor Gamble's recommendation that the commission on medical education be allowed sufficient funds to make his investigation reliable and accurate, found favor. The commissions continue their investigations. The report of Dr. C. V. Roman on the status of the Journal of the National Medical association, with unique appeal for support, was one of the most impressive deliverances of the week. In addition to the many papers and discussions of scientific value by members of the medical, surgical, dental and pharmaceutical branches of the association a number of distinguished visitors were present and offered words of encouragement. Prominent among them were Dr. W. T. Vernon, former register of the treasury, now United States supervisor of Indian schools, here on official business; Dr. Charles F. Meserve, president of Shaw university, Raleigh, N. C.; Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute; Prof. James B. Dudley, president of the A. and M. college, at Greensboro, N. C., and Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training school, at Durham, N. C. At the surgical clinic at Dixie hospital an important operation involving the opening of an abdominal cavity, was performed by Drs. A. M. Curtis, W. A. Warfield, Doctor Carson, J. A. Kenney, Arthur M. Brown and H. F. Gamble. Especially noteworthy during the week were the papers on "Ocular Complications of Certain Constitutional Diseases," by Dr. M. O. Dumas of Washington, D. C.; "A Brief Comparative Study of the Negro," by Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle, Washington, D. C.; "Neurasthesia," by Dr. J. A. Robinson, Darlington, S. C.; "Auto-Intoxication," by Dr. Mary E. Britton, Lexington, Ky.; "Modern Abdominal Surgery," by Dr. B. R. Bluitt, Dallas, Tex.; "Thorough Preparation for Success in Pharmacy," by Dr. W. H. Barlow, Newport News, Va.; "Side Lines by Druggists," Dr. Arthur S. Gray, Washington, D. C.; "Infantile Gastro-Enteritis," by Dr. E. P. Roberts, New York city, and "Observation, Use and Abuse of Salvarsan," by Dr. U. G. Mason, Birmingham, Ala. All of the papers were mortertious and will appear in the Journal of the N. M. A. No previous meeting of the association equaled this year's in the number and brilliance of the social features presented. The presence of an unusually large number of ladies from abroad added to the bevy of beauty always to be found in the Tidewater region. Every evening there were dances at Buckroe Beach; at the lawn fete free boat rides, auto rides, oxcart rides and a feast of watermelon, amid festons of electric bulbs and Japanese lanterns, were provided; and the reception given by the bachelors of Hampton was an enjoyable affair. The piece de resistance was the grand banquet in the gymnasium, at which 1,600 guests sat down to a most sumptuous repast. Doctor Atkins acted as toastmaster. Responses were made by Maj. R. R. Moton, Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. W. R. F. Penn, Dr. F. G. Ellott, Dr. Norman Lasister, Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, E. C. Brown, Dr. W. T. Foreman and Rev. A. A. Graham. At the close the entire party was escorted to the pavilion at Buckroe Beach for the grand ball, special cars having been provided for the occasion through the courtesy of the local traction company. With a delightful excursion to Jamestown island and Claremont and a farewell afternoon at Buckroe, the festivities as well as the serious activities of the thirteenth annual session of the National Medical association came to an end. BACES FORM PEACE PACT BLACKS AND WHITES OF SLIDELL, LA., MAKE AGREEMENT THAT THERE SHALL BE NO RACE WAR IN TOWN, AND THAT ALL DIFFERENCES SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION. New Orleans.—Negrees and whites of Slidell, La., a lumber town directly across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, have drawn up and signed a formal treaty wherein it is agreed that there never shall be a race war in the town, but that all differences between the races shall be submitted to arbitration. This unusual compact came as a result of the attitude of the negroes toward the murder of James Smith, a policeman, at a dance hall. The policeman was killed by a negro or negroes. A posse is in search of the murderers and in it are a number of black residents. The negroes met at their Odd Fellows hall and adopted resolutions which close as follows: Resolved, That we, the colored citizens of Slidell, do solemnly register our disapproval of the murder and do hereby tender our assistance to the officials of Slidell in bringing to justice the culprit or culprits who persecuted the atrocious crime. Be it further Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our hearty sympathy in the hour of their affection. Resolved, further, that the thanks of this town are tendered to the white citizens for the able manner in which peace and harmony between the whites and blacks have been preserved. The drawing of the treaty by blacks and whites followed. The gist of the treaty is that it is the sense of residents, both white and negro, "that all conflicts and acts of violence between blacks and whites are severely condemned, and that all friction arising between members of the two races shall be submitted to a committee for settlement." Sidell拿3,000 residents, about equally divided. Its chief industry is the creosoting of lumber. "BLIND ELLEN" DEAD Buffalo, N. Y.—In the death of Mrs. Ellen Johnson, familiarly known as "Blind Ellen," Buffalo loses one of its oldest citizens and Vine Street Church one of its oldest members. Blind from birth and living to the age of 80 years. She was well known by the children of many generations. Hundreds have always been glad to lead her from home to church and to various places of interest. Mrs. Johnson was educated at the Batavia school for the blind and was proud to count as one of her former classmates and associates Miss Fannie Crosby, the noted blind hymn writer, whose songs have stirred the hearts of two generations. Mrs. Johnson was interested in everything that pertained to the uplift of her people and always gave her support, although meagre, whenever she could. Some women remember the compliments of courtship days and forget that their three meals a day came from dad's pockets. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Observant persons who are in constant contact with the diversified interests of the race, must admit that there is a rapidly increasing need for young men and young women of business and commercial training. It is a fact that we are turning our attention toward business pursuits more now than toward the professional or industrial. Banks are being established on all sides by men of color, both in the north and in the south; colored insurance companies are operating successfully in every state of the southern group; secret orders are flourishing among our people, and must secure office forces for their home and branch offices; publication houses and newspapers are being run for the benefit of our people; drug stores are open in cities and towns throughout the southland; churches are developing to such magnitude that pastors must employ private secretaries; denominational departments must have office forces; stores must have bookkeepers and clerks—the demand for the commercially trained will soon become far-reaching and insistent. Where will our young people secure training to fit them for these positions? Our colleges continue to turn out school teachers, and those prepared along this line must suffice for place because of a seeming oversupply, while the negro business man worries along with ill-prepared help of a clerical sort. The young negro, too, is entering business for himself with practically no knowledge of bookkeeping and business forms. We are not venturing to criticise our institutions of learning. They have done, and are doing, a great work well. Why are they not awakening to this growing need? To our certain knowledge thorough commercial courses are not conducted in a half-dozen reputable negro colleges in all this broad southland. Yet the need of which we speak is growing yearly in an ever increasing ratio. Where must the stenographers, bookkeepers, salesman, clerks, etc., come from whom we need now and will need in larger numbers in the future? Their employers can do but little toward training them. A sufficient number to meet the demand cannot go north to pursue courses in business colleges and commercial departments there. Young people can often be heard inquiring where they can learn shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping, and if private instruction cannot be procured, they drift into mental employment. Distinct colored commercial colleges are hardly possible at this time. With but a slight outlay for colleges already in operation can meet the need. Many who will not take complete literary or industrial courses would enter college to receive commercial training with such literary subjects as a commercial course would require. Honestly and conscientiously we feel that along this particular line negro colleges will soon be a decade behind the times. It is here they can be to the young people an added benefit. We are hoping many of them will awaken to a situation that may before long become serious, and put in with their courses one to give practical commercial training.—Southern Life Magazine. Baroness Von Groys, wife of George S. Wilkins of New York, has strong hope of solving the American servant problem. She brought with her from the Philippines a Filippino girl named Dogima. "My husband was a commissioner to the Philippines," she said, "and while there I found the native girls splendid servants. My idea is to open schools for them in this country and solve our vexed servant problem. I have already been promised help by society women for various entertainments I will give to get the schools started." Andrew Carnegie, she said, is to furnish all the books that are necessary for the establishment of the schools.—Southern Life Magazine. The present age not only calls for a suffering ministry—it is also ripe for a well prepared ministry, one having not only the zeal, but knowledge of what constitutes a real Christian life.—Ex. Jack Johnson seems determined to bring away a small cargo of English coin when he calls for his return to America. By his contract to fight Bombadier Wells he receives $50,000 before entering the ring. This, with other contracts, will net him $125,000 income for another year.—Exchange. Joseph E. Johnson, colored, formerly a stenographer to Speaker Cannon, received the appointment as stenographer to the commission investigating second-class postage rates, of which Associate Justice Hughes is chairman. Haiti retains its reputation as a hotbed of revolution. Antione Simon is no longer president, having been driven out of the country by General LeConte, who now occupies the presidential chair. C. R. Patterson & Son, colored, builders of fine wagons and buggies, have the largest business of its kind in Greenfield, O. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS Education and wealth are both beset with many dangerous perils. Especially is this true in a race that had its building in race building like ours had forty-five years ago. Some of the few who have been specially favored with the advantages of an academic and college education, and likewise some of the few that have been blessed with the tact for acquiring some wealth, have had good sense to know and to feel that their highly favored conditions only entailed upon them the more the task of helping to raise those of the race who were less favored. Then there have been others of the favored few who have felt, judging by their actions, that their education and wealth was to put them beyond the reach of their fellows and thus leave them to struggle up the hill by themselves, or else wither and die in the misery of their own ignorance and poverty—Western Star. Our attention has been called to the neglect of infant baptism by some of our pastors. There is no service that should be more eagerly sought and more faithfully performed. See to it brethren that every child in your congregation is baptised and properly instructed in the things that "pertain to his soul's health." Infant baptism is not only a beauty and impressive sacrament but one that means so much to the permanent growth of the church and contributes largely to the saving of the individual.—Star of Zion. There are quite a number of business enterprises in Greater New York controlled and managed by the members of our race which are not receiving the support from our people that they should. In the particular neighborhood where these enterprises are located are thousands of negroes who spend thousands of dollars. It would be to the interest of negroes to give a larger proportion of the money they are now spending to their own stores. Negroes should build up their own. Harlem and other localities have large negro populations and are splendid fields for business development among negroes.—New York Age. The movement for colored hospitals and hospital work seems to be increasing. In Columbia, S. C., a new hospital is planned by Dr. Matilda Evans. In Spartanburg, S. C., a hospital already established has treated 150 patients and spent $1,200 in charitable work. It is appealing for more funds. In Annapolis, Md., the state is preparing for an $80,000 building for a negro hospital for the indigent insane.—Ex. Some interest is being created by the employment of colored girls as waiters in the place of men by a famous hotel at Raleigh, N. C. The Richmond Times-Dispatch, a white daily, says of the innovation: "It opens a new field for the colored girls, and should go a long way towards solving another of the difficult problems with which unkneeers have to deal. There is no reason why the plan should not work, as the same service has been found entirely satisfactory in thousands of southern homes." The negroes of South Carolina should feel proud of the fact that they enjoy access to so many colleges and higher institutions of learning. They should also feel grateful to the men and women who, for many years, have been at the head of these respective institutions. Year by year since its establishment each of these institutions has grown in importance and in favor with the people—Southern Ploughman. By legal proceedings John Wilson, a former servant of Mrs. Sarah Hendrickson, deceased, of Walnford, N. J., established his right to the estate which had been in the family for over two hundred years. Mrs. Hendrickson agreed to convey all her property to Wilson for debts aggregating more than $8,000. After her death Wilson pressed his claim and won the suit. The leader of the "Back to Africa" movement in Los Angeles, Cal., went to that continent and inspected some portions. He comes back saying no Africa for him. It's something you gotter get used to, you cannot find America everywhere. The Mississippi negro is nothing if he is not energetic. That he has turned many an obstacle to a source of help is patent to all. One of the new enterprises among negroes in Mississippi is the Colored Realty company, promoted by Mr. John J. Jefferson, secretary, of Purvis, Miss. Leading daily newspapers of the south praised to the highest the talent displayed at the negro music festival recently held in Atlanta, Ga. The rendition of productions was characterized by one of them as "really wonderful." Over 200 colored students, mostly from the south, are attending Chicago university.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Gibb, as second-class matter Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. A New York City "plate" house is furnishing some of our contemporaries a column of reading matter in which appears two Cleveland, O. letters: One relative to Councilman Thomas Fleming's is amusing—to Clevelanders; the other, relative to the editor of this paper, is almost equally incorrect and untrue. What a pity it is, our people of Ohio, outside of Cleveland, cannot or will not see the wisdom of trying to secure the election of delegates (of their own race) to the State Constitutional convention, to meet next year. All candidates for delegate must have nearly 1,700 signatures of men who voted at the last November election, on their petitions and file the petitions with their Board of elections on October 7, 1911. Wake up! As a result of the special grand jury's last work in the Coatesville, Pa., lynching, the chief of police, who took no adequate precautions to ure vent it, has been indicted on a charge of manslaughter. And the cowardly policeman, who was stationed at the hospital to guard the wounded Negro, and who offered no resistance to the mob, and two others, have been held under a similar charge. This is largely the result of good work done by Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, a member of the race, who lives in Charleston, W. V. Va., and who went to Coatesville, Sept. 2, and "dug up" the evidence. Good! THE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. There is a provision in the Ohio constitution for the_voting of whites only that ought to come out, even if it is obsolete. Next year a new state constitution is to be made. As well as our people, everywhere, know that these are dangerous times for them, Ohio Afro-Americans, outside of Cleveland, are sound aseep as far as the importance of having direct representation in next year's Ohio State Constitutional convention is concerned. The U. S. Supreme Court has decided that the states are supreme in the matter of the privilege (not a right) of voting except when it comes to U. S. elections—for congressmen and presidential electors. Distranchisement has grown in the south until nearly every state in that section of the country has disfranchised its Afro-American voters, and the feeling favoring such pernicious action is growing northward. No one can tell, in these peculiar times, what the near future may bring forth along this line even in Ohio. The growth of prejudice against the race in recent years has been sufficient to at least put us on guard and to make us careful to at least try to be properly represented in all law-making bodies where there is the slightest chance to secure such representation. The door, for the effort at least, has been opened wide for weeks to our Ohio voters, as well as to all others, in this matter of representation in next year's constitutional convention, and it will be closed on the 7th of next month. What are we doing, outside of Cleveland, to take advantage of this glorious opportunity—more important to us than any other class of citizens in the "Buckeye" state? Nothing! absolutely nothing, outside of Cleveland, as far as we have been able to learn. What in the world is the matter with this race of ours? In the south, we'll sleep on until some morning there will come a rude awakening when it is too late—we fear. THE ONLY DISSENTING VOICE It seems to us that Attorney John P. Green, a man of scholarly attentions, years of experience in legal lore, a conservative, a church man, a race man who mingles among his people, and lends encouragement to their enterprises by his patronage, is better fitted to merit the support of our people in Cleveland at the time to select delegates—"Noomdy" Brasher. Let us see: John Green is a product of Cleveland's Central High School. That is all. And has no more "scholarly attainments," than any other local product of that excellent school. His "experience in legal lore" is but ordinary and not beyond or better than that of our other products of Central High School who have spent years in the practice of the law and in other professional life. He is no more "conservative," or "a church man, a race man that mingles, etc." than dozens of other members of the race in this community; nor is he any "better fitted to merit the support of our people in Cleveland at the time to select (State Constitutional convention) delegates." This the great mass of Afro-Americans in this community know and are saying daily upon the streets of Cleveland, particularly at this time. John P. Green owes what measure of success he has attained in his long life, to our people of this community. For nine years, he was a Justice of the Peace here; for six years he was a member of the Ohio Legislature, and for seven years held a Government clerkship in Washington, D. C. More than twenty-two years in public office, as a representative of our people, and what, in all that time, has he done for them in return for the enjoyment of the emoluments of those offices or positions? No member of the race was permitted to act as clerk in his Justice Court room during all those nine years, but a white man did hold the position. During his six years in the Ohio Legislature, when we needed so greatly a civil rights law, an anti-lynching law and other important legislation, we do not remember his ever making the slightest effort to secure us anything of the kind, or to do anything else, material, for those of the race in Ohio. During his six or seven years of office-holding in Washington, D. C., as far as we have been able to learn, the same do-not-hiring-for-the race record was maintained. Are there any of our boys or girls, men or women, alive or dead, whom John P. Green has ever helped to positions of merit or otherwise, in all his twenty-two or more years of public office-holding as the representative of our people? Was any other member of the race than his son permitted to study law in his office? In Heaven's name what has John P. Green ever done for his people to "better fit" him "to merit their support" over any other member of the race in this community, for anything? Let him or any one else who has the temerity to try, answer this question. It is open to all, who may wish to try, too. No wonder our people of Cleveland, by the hundreds, have met in St. Johns A. M. E. Church, Cory M. E. church, Shiloh and Antlion Baptist churches, Clayton hall, Mt. Zion Congregational church, St. James A. M. E. church in recent weeks and will meet in others later on, to register their practically unanimous protest against the candidacy of John P. Green and in favor of that of another—the editor of this paper—which they, themselves, are responsible for, and, too, contrary to the protests of the writer who did not want to stand as a candidate, for good and sufficient reasons. However we have yielded to the demand of our people of this city and county, and if they are successful in securing, by Oct. 5, the required number of voters' endorsements on the petitions they are so enthusiastically and energetically circulating, to entitle our name to a place on the ticket to be voted for on election day in November, we shall do everything, honorable, in our power, with their and our white friends' sistance, to win and thus try to secure to the Afro-Americans of Ohio some greatly needed representation in the State Constitutional convention to be held next year. It looks as if it remains for our people of this county, to make the only effort to accomplish this, being made in the state. We have for months urged our people throughout Ohio to action because of the importance to them of next year's State Constitutional convention. Outside of this, Cuyahoga County, as far as we are able to learn, nothing is being done. This is indeed unfortunate to say the least. Now, a word as to Brasher: He is practically a newcomer in this community, Cleveland, and is in no position, from any viewpoint or standpoint, to judge of the "fitness" of either John P. Green or any other member of the race here. His comment, a portion of which we re-publish above, is characteristic and is pretty generally understood as it is not his first blunder of the kind as all will remember his daily newspaper interview of a few months ago in which he attacked our chauffeurs, waiters and barbers most unfortunately and unfairly. Then came his blundering attacks upon each of our local churches and their pastors, beginning with St John's church. HON. HARRY C. SMITH FOR DELE GATE. Editor Daily Leader: Permit me to call your attention to the fact that the Colored people of this community, in meetings held in the last few weeks, in St. John's A. M. E. Church, Cory M. E. Church, Shiloh Baptist Church, Antioch Baptist Church, Clayton hall, Mt. Zion Congregational Church and St. James' A. M. E. Church, East End, have and will continue to express their preference for Hon. Harry C. Smith, as a candidate for delegate to the State constitutional convention. Pennsylvania is represented by the Citizens' Association for Civic Interests, an organization that is the outgrowth of this movement and which was perfected solely to help bring about the desired nomination and election of Mr. Smith. I am moved to state the above in your columns because many may be misled, by a statement in the Leader, into thinking there is a desire for any other member of the Colored race in this community, as a candidate for delegate to the State convention, as far as the mass of the population of this community are concerned.

Youngstown, O—A delightful and profitable session (the 30th annual) of the N. O. conference of the A. M. E. Church was held here last week, opening Wednesday and closing Sunday evening. Bishop W. B. Derrick of Flushing, N. Y., assisted by Bishop B. F. Lee, presided. The young daughter of Rev. J. G. Robinson of Bellefontaine, furnished excellent instrumental music. The reports showed a marked advance, that of finance over that of last year being remarkable. Last Thursday morning, four delegates from the University of Michigan were elected on the first ballot, a remarkable and unusual occurrence: Drs. J. H. Jones, P. E., Chas. Bundy, W. T. Anderson and J. M. Gilmore, P. E. Alternates: Revs. H. F. Fox, P. Alston, J. A. Collins and John Coleman. Dr Gilmore offered a very important resolution endorsing Bishop Derrick's splendid administration. One of the most prominent committees was announced by the bishop at the close of the session. Dr. Jones was appealed to the house of bishops on a very particular subject. Committee: Drs. J. M. Gilmore, J. S. Jackson, J. G. Robinson, Chas. Bundy and F. G. Snelson. Dr. Bundy was returned to St. John's church, Cleveland, for another, and Rev. F. G. Snelson, for the state. Dr. Jones was endorsed by the conference for bishop. Dr. Gilmore is a prominent candidate for secretary of church extension. The conference was largely attended, many general officers of the church, and visitors being present. Rev. Fox was elected secretary, Rev. Robinson, reporter; and Rev. J. D. Singleton, recording secretary. Rev. Jackson was highly commended for his excellent springfield, the bishop making special mention of it and complimenting him on the systematic and orderly way in which it was prepared. The report of Rev. D. E. Rice, pastor of Second church, Springfield, was also spoken of in the highest terms by the bishop. The conference was the largest for many years and the people of Youngstown deserve credit for entertaining it so nicely. Rev. Jesse H.

FIND LONG LIFE IN GARDEN Tilling the Soil Seems to Hold Never Failing Charm for the Aged. Wolfboro, N. H.-The attention is frequently drawn to note the number of elderly people employed at gardening. The occupation most conducive to long life, tilling the soil, seems to hold a never failing charm and adaptability to those to whom, through weight of years, all other labor has become either distasteful or exhausting. Most elderly gardeners are men, of course, but women are, by no means, exempt from the list. Near Wolfboro, Mrs. Frank Thurston, though past A. B. Mrs. Tyson. seventy, successfully works her own garden, and, from it, last fall, dug fifteen bushels of potatoes and put them into the cellar without help. Another woman gardener still older, Mrs Sarah Freston, of Groton, Vermont, who is past seventy-five years old. takes all the care of a large garden, planting, weeding, and doing all the other work herself even to gathering the crops. But perhaps in point of years and achievement, the champion woman gardener of New England, if not the United States, is a Mrs. Tyson, of Glastonbury, Connecticut, Mrs. Tyson is nearly ninety-three years old, but is remarkably strong and active and in fine health. She has a most interesting personality, with a pleasing manner, and a strong cheerful face, still sparkling with life and intelligence. She lives all alone in a pleasant little house, of which she takes the entire care, besides doing all the work in a fine garden which is the feature of the place. Its owner takes great pride in her garden and shows it most willingly to visitor whom she gives a cordial welcome. Per pride is pardonable for the visible fruits of her labor would be a credit to any able-bodied man. SOUTHERN POINT OF NATION Lies on a Sharp Bend of the Rio Grande Near Brownsville, Tex. Brownsville, Tex.-The most southern ern point of mainland territory in the United States is on a sharp bend of the Rio Grande river about 20 miles southwest of Brownsville. The government official survey shows that its latitude is 25 degrees and 9 minutes, which places it below the most south ern part of the peninsula of Florida, but not as far south as Key West. The spot is marked by a group of picturesque Mexican ranch buildings with their thatched roofs. Growing upon the land are groves of wild palm trees which lend to the beauty of the tropical scene. The distance between Brownsville and the mouth of the Rio Grande in a direct line is approximately 22 miles, but the river has so many curvatures that its course between the two points cover 110 miles, according to the survey of the international boundary commission, which is composed of the Nation's Most Southern Point. representatives of the United States and Mexican governments. Before the river empties into the gulf it makes a sharp bend to the south, and this rounded peninsula forms the most southern mainland of the country. Most of the territory between Brownsville and the Rio Grande's mouth is covered by dense wilderness or chaparral. The soil is of primitive richness, caused by the periodical deposits of silt from the stream's overflow. Owing to the inaccessibility of the little Mexican ranch, which holds the distinction of marking the most southern spot, the place has been visited by very few Americans. A.

Recently Bishop Morris dedicated St. Bartholomew's new church and school for Afro-American Citholles in Little Rock, Ark. The new church and school is a combination building, two stories, with eight rooms, erected at a cost of $15,000.

See their advertisement elsewhere in this paper and tell your friends to patronize them. They are the best in their area. Be sure to read the White, Adkins and Herald Lunch restaurants' advertisements elsewhere in this paper. They are members of the race and should have our patronage. Mr. Arthur Chavous of Illinois University, her nephew and Miss Marie Viney of Columbus, visited Mrs. Jesse Lawson of E. 43d, St., who recently returned from southern Ohio. He was a visiting custodian, secretary of the Feedman's Aid Society, delivered a fine lecture at the new Cory church, Monday evening, and Bishop I. B. Scott will do so, next Monday evening. A number of our local ministers assisted in the services Sunday and in the exercises on various evenings, this week. It is said that Blue, Brasher, Fleming, Eubanks and the Greens are promoting the petitions of white candidates for delegates to the convention, so this should be remembered. O, consistency thou art indeed a jewel; likewise race pride, race interest, etc. At the A. M. E. conference in Youngstown, last week, Dr. J. M. Gilmore was elected a delegate to the General conference. A strong effort was made, to defeat him but failed because of his exceptional strength with the members of the conference. Now the conference leaders who opposed him, have to "reckon" with Dr. Gilmore. There are two candidates to go before the General conference. In order to better accommodate their increasing patronage, the Herald Lunch, 3124 Central Ave., under the management of that wide-awake husband, will be first-class ice cream parlor, a dining room for short orders and light lunches, and a rest room for ladies and gentlemen. The stained floors, the modern furniture, the artistic wall paper and the Japanese lanterns give the room a touch of elegance. Hicks has opened a place for ladies and gentlemen, and he will insist on its ever being such a place. The finely furnished parlor, with its up-to-date plano, will add much to the pleasure, comfort and enjoyment of those who will favor the new Herald lounge with their presence and patronage. At the meeting of the Citizens' Association for Civic Interests at Mt. Zion Congregation Church, last week Wednesday evening, the report on the petitions for the candidacy of Hon. Harry C. Smith for delegate State Congressional Convention, needed that only a dozen contained nearly 800 signatures of voters who exercised their right of franchise at the last (November) election. This was an excellent showing. More than 50 petitions are being circulated, energetically and enthusiastically. The speakers at this meeting were the chairman, a thoroughly harmonious and very enthusiastic, were: Rev. G. V. Clark, pastor of the church, Rev. H. M. Lowrey, Messrs. Caldwell, Dallas Cooper, J. H. Kellogg, Mrs. M. S. Bedford and others. Chas. S. Sutton, Esq., was chairman. All petitions must be returned the headquartered location by October 3, so much is still to be done, and those having petitions should bend all efforts to have them filled as quickly as possible. Pass the word along. Call your lady friends' and acquaintances' attention to our up-to-date fashion and pattern departments and thus encourage us to embark on The Gazette regularly. Oblige the Editor. Any one who signs a petition for the ten white candidates for delegates to the State Constitutional Convention which are being circulated, will nullify his signature on that and any other petition for delegate to the State Constitutional Convention, he has signed, as no voter can sign a petition or petitions for more than ten candidates for delegates to the State Constitutional Convention. There are ten constitutional delegates to be elected in this (Cuyahoga) County—that is, ten such offices to be filled—and the law says anent this: "No elector (voter at last November's election) may sign his name to more than one nominating petition for each office to be filled." If you have been misled into signing other petitions, see that your name is crossed off them at once and in so doing use ink or indelible lead pencil only. Act promptly.

"Prof. Merriman's wonderful illustrated lecture has been listened to with delight by thousands of people and Elyria was fortunate in securing his services. His illustrations are very fine." Merriman will also avail himself of the opportunity to see and hear the reproduction of the world-renowned play by Prof. Merriman, who saw it himself, and whose lecture has met with popular favor wherever delivered."—Akron Beacon. The ministers of our local Alliance whose address to the local public, appears elsewhere in The Gazette today, heartily and enthusiastically endorse the candidacy of Hon. Harry C. Smith for delegate to the State Constitutional convention. The meeting at St James church, in the East End, Tuesday evening was an annual session ofcess, S. E. Woolf predeided and Chas, S. E. Wood predeided and Chas, E. Woolf acted as secretary. The speakers were: Dr. J. G. Robinson of Bellefountine, Dr. J. M. Gilmore, P. E., and the editor of The Gazette. Great enthusiasm prevailed as usual. Dr. J. K. Nickens as chairman of an important committee, which visited the secretary of the Municipal Association to protest against "labeling" our candidates only, ("Negro," "Colored," etc.), in its reports and newspaper statements, and not classify candidates also, made a favorable report which was accepted and the committee continued for further work along the same line. Messrs, Sutton and the editor of The Gazette were added to the committee. A number of excellent informal talks were made by persons in attendance and a strong determination to succeed with the petitions evidenced as usual. The report made by those holding them was extremely encouraging. Next Monday evening at a club meeting, the committee was to be told to which the ladies are especially invited. There will be good music, solos, etc., and the editor of The Gazette will be present and speak. There will undoubtedly be a large attendance and an exceptionally interesting and profitable meeting.

Not only is the flag of Liberia similar in @esign to the American flag, but its history {s inseparably connected with all things American. ‘The stars and stripes of Liberia 1s the neglected {n- fant of the Stars and Stripes of Amer Jca, Dut we are elated over the fact that a reconciliation has begun which At ls hoped will speedily work to the complete rehabilitation of Liberia “Liberia ts not the only {ndependent negro nationality in the world, net ther is it the only Buglish-xpeaking community on the west coast of AF lea, but it {e the only. independent negro nationality of English speaking people in the world, and as such ¢ un- doubtedly occupies’ a unique position in the consideration of mankind “although Liberia 1s a negro state, like Abyssinia, Haytt and the Domlal can Republic, nevertheless its exist: ence is quite distinct in {ts origin and history from these, Apart trom the {dea of an asylum for exiled Africans who desired to return to thelr father- land, its mission, in the minds of the founders, was to extend Christianity and western elvilization into Africa Liberia was to be the entrance through which the benefits of modern clvilization and of the Christian re ligion were to pass, tn the Bnglish language, to the malilons of heathens in the Interior, Ite founding marked the awakening of Anglo-Saxon —con- sclence; It showed concretely the pen- ence of a repenting people for the commission of a great wrong upon @ Weak and helpless race. Liberia was 4 compromise and was Intended to folve, without the shedding of blood, one of the great problems of modern times. “However, in the confict of ideas and the clash of arms, God partially overruled the designs of his creatures, fand consequently the plan of Ameri can colonization of Liberia simmered down and the country suffered. So desperate had the condition of Libe ria become that the American govern: ment, reviewing the history of its founding aud being reminded of the sentiment, hopes and designs of the founders, felt compelled to stretch a helping hand across the Atlantic, which will prove to be the salvation of this unique republic.” Dr, Lyon has received cable instruc: Hons, confirmed later by due course of mail, appointing him agent of the Donovan trust fund. The Donovan trust fund comprises @ bloock of valu- able Dusiness property in Baltimore Delonging formerly to the Donovan es- tate. Mr, Donovan was a slave holder and became rich under the system. Many years after his death hie widow, desiring to do something for the ne grocs as a partial atonement for Whatever the” negro auffered under slavery, was advised by the late Gen Ferdinand C. Latrobe to direct her efforts to the republic of Liberia, to the founding of which bis father, John H. B. Latrobe had contributed’ con- siderable time and money. Accord ingly, upon thie advice.a trust fund was formed with General Latrobe and cen PERFECTLY SIMPLE. No apologies go with this, It % the tnvention of former Mayor Baxter of Baltimore, and he must take all re sponsibility for it. “Why,” asks Mr. Baxter, “is the prince of Wales like a baldheaded man, a monkey and an orphan?’ ‘Well, there isn’t any answer to a question like that, of course. Where- upon Mr. Baxter answers it himself, with every indication of enjoyment. “The prince of Wales,” he elucl- Gates, “is the heir apparent. A bald: headed man has no hair apparent, the monkey has a hairy parent, and the orphan has nowhere a parent.” Comment would be superfluous.— Herbert Corey in Cincinnat!

Power tn his book, “The Bye end Sight,” gives the ability to see tho star Alcor, situated at the tall of the Great Bear, ‘as the test. Indeed, the Arabs call it the test star. It 1s most exceptional to be able to see Jupiter's satellites with the naked eye, though one or two cases are recorded, the third satellite being the most distinct.

SEGEGESOGNS The Sunday School Lesson aay eager oa ae THE PROPHET EZEKIEL AS A PHET EZEK( Golden Text.—-“Hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."—Bzek. 3:17, Ezekiel 3:12-21. Commit vs, 17-19. ‘Time—595 B. C. Place—Tel-abib. Exposition—I. Ezekiel, dumb over the wickedness and consequent doom of his people. 12-15. There 1s no reason to suppose that Ezekiel means by the opening words of y. 12 that the Spirit had iffted him up Uterally and bodily. Tt was In vision and in thought that he was lifted up (of, ch. 8:3; 11:24; 40:12). The) “great rushing” thal Ezeklel heard suggests the rushing of the mighty wind when the/Spirit came At Pentecost (Acts 2:2).' The Spirit here, as always, testiftes to the glory of Jehovah and magnifies him (ct Acts 2:11). “The Glory of Jehovah" was the visible symbol of his presence (ch. 9:3; 10:4, 18, 19; 11:22, 23; Ex 40:34, 35). ‘The perfect visible mant festation of the giory of the Lord was in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14; 14:9). So there is here really in type an ascription of praise tc Jesus Christ. It 1s ever the work o! the Holy Spirit to bear witness to him (John 15:26; Rev. 19:10). ‘The living creatures (¥. 13) are the cherublm and the living creatures of Revelation 4:6-9 R. V.; ef. Ezek. 1:528. Such a revela tion as came here to Ezeklel Is always connected with preparation for serv fee (of. Ex. 3:240; Isa. 6:10; Dan. 10:5:14; Rey. 1:10.20). Bzektel’s bitter hess and hot anger (v. 14) was pre sumably over the sin of the people and not over God's judgment (cf, Jer. 6:11; contrast Num. 11:11-19; Jer. 20:14-18; Jonah 4:1, 3,9). The expression “thé hand of Jehovah was upon me” re fers to the prophet's being taken pos session of by God (cf 2 K. 3:15). Wherever It occurs in this book {1 marks off the seven great prophetle strains of the book (Ezek. 1: 3; 3:14 22; 8:1; 98:22: 37:1; 40:1). Beeklel sitting down with the captives aston ished seven days was in token of his deep grief over thelr sin and agony over their doom (ef. Gen, 50:10; Jot 2:18; Ps. 137:1; Jer. 23:9; Hab, 3:16) M1. Ezekiel appointed “A watchman unto the house of Israel,” 16-21, ‘These verses should be read in comparison with Ezek, 18:1-82; 83:133. Every minister, Sunday school teacher ani every individual Christian in a sense should be a watchman unto his fel lows (v. 177 ef. Jer. 6:17; Acts 20:28 81; Heb. 13:17; Jer. 6:19, 20), It is @ great privilege to have the Word of Je hovah given unto us, but It involves A REST FOR THE RABBITS.

It makes us stewards of the Word, responsible to carry the Word to our fellow men (Matt. "28:18-20), The _watebraan’s business Is to get bis message directly from God (“Hear the Word at my mouth”) and to give to ovhers warning on the basis of the Word (v. 17; ef. 38:68; Isa. 58:1; 2 Cor. 5:11, 20; Col. 1:28). The one who knows what God says about the doom of the wicked and does not give them warning incurs an appalling responsibility. ‘The wicked man will perish but God will require his blood at the hand of his unfaithful servant (y. 18). ach of us would do well to ask if we are free from the guilt of the blood of our fellow men (ct. Acts 20:26, 27). The wages of sin fs death (Gen, 2:17; Ezek, 18:4, 13, 20; Rom. 6:23 Rey. 21:8). It is « loving act to warn the wicked, no matier how stern the warning; the object is “to save his life” (cf. ch. 18:3082; Acts 9:19; James 19, 20), Many warn- Ings will not be heeded but it 1s our business to uiter them whether they will hear or whether they will for bear v.19; ef. ch, 2:35; 3:1127). It is for us to warn; It Is for them to heed; even if they do not heed, we have de- livered our souls (v. 19). Jehovah manifested his mercy toward his peo- ple in continued warnings even though they would not Itsten (2 K, 17:1348; 2 Ch. 36:16, 16; Jer, 42:19.22; 44:4, 5). We should be as persistent and pattent as he, but if men will not turn they must at least burn (v. 19; ef. 2 Pet. 8:9, 10; Acts 18:5, 6; Heb, 2:1-2; 10:26, 27; 12:25). It is not enough to be righteous for a day. It {s only right- eousness that 1s continued in that counts with God, When a man turns from his righteousness to sin, ‘this righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered” (v, 20). ‘This primarily 1s on the ground of law, but even under grace It is required that we continue in the faith (Acts 13: 22; Heb, 10:38; Rom. 2:7-9). The oth- er side of this truth ts that the ono who truly belfeves and 1s born again will continue (Heb. 19:39; John 10:28, 29; 1. John 2:19; Luke 8:13, 15). ‘The dog may return to his vomit and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire (2 Pet. 2:20-22), but a sheep will know the true Shepherd's voice and follow him but a stranger they will not follow (John 10:3-5, 27- 29). It ts the watchman's business to warn the backslider and also to warn men before they backside. If he does not do it, the buckslider's blood will be required at his hand. There is a deep significance in those words, “He shall surely live because he fs warned.” How blessed is the privilege of warning ‘men, If only one of all those who are warned turns from his sin and lives ‘Gas. 5:19, 20). Not only do we thus de liyer our own soul, but we shall have the privilege of rejoicing over at east one soul eternally saved (cf. Luke 1:7, 10). Much of Jesus’ ministry and that of Paul was given to warn- ing the sinner (Matt. 24:27; Acts 20: 81; Col, 1:28; I. Cor. 4:14; 10:12; Gal, 1:610;5:27; | Eph, 4:17.21; 6:5, 6; Col. 3:5-8; Thess. 4:68; 5:14; Tit. 2: 15; L John 3:69; Rev. 3:19) BEYOND HER DEPTH. ‘They were seated around the table partaking of watermelon, so the-talk naturally turned to the lusctous fruit. “It reminds me of a conversation which took place between two colored women,” sald one of the guests. “Uma, but Ah certainly does lobe watermelons,’ sald one. ‘It sure does tckle mah palate.

Parks, who bas done more than any other single man in the state to foster this beneficial inatitu- tion, was unanimously elected director of the Georgia Colored Farmers’ ‘atitute, with authority to arrange for another meeting next summer. "Director Parks had on display at- tractive samples of the nine different grades of cotton which have become the recognized standards of cotton clasetfication in the markets of the world. ‘The discussion of the grading of cot- ton developed many valuable points and a number of farmers offered re- marks concerning the careful picking and storing of cotton 60 as to insure the highest market. ‘The wife of Warren Logan, the treasurer of Booker T. Washington's great institution at Tuskegee, Ala., urged those present to make a care ful and painstaking study of the ques tion of the cultivation and marketing the great staple crop of the south tn order that they should be in position to know positively the exact grade of cotton that their own product came under, and thus enable them to dic- tate to the buyer the price they ex- pected to recetve. She cited in stances where humble colored farm: ers tn her section of Alabama had ex ercised care in seed selection, in the cultivation of the growing crop and in the picking of the cotton, and had in that way outstripped thelr neighbors. P. D. Johnson pleaded with the ne groes to use greater foresight and to erect. dry cotton houses on their farms, where the cotton could be rtored after tt came from the field, and said that it was far better to store the seed cotton for a few weeks in a clean place than to rush It to the gin as soon as ft was picked. He ‘also argued that too great haste had heretofore marked the harvesting of the crop and begged his audience to Walt until the bolis were thoroughly ripe before they were picked; also to be sure to remove the cham or trash before they deposited the lint in the basket. Professor Johnson dwelt on the mis- ery of the “negrodudebt” and hoped the colored farmers would learn the lesson of frugality and common sense in order to escape from this great burden. ‘A. Bentley, an antebellum darky, with snow white hair and a voice that readily lent itself to all the uses of oratory, made an address that sank deeply ‘at the tendency of the new generation of negroes toward trre- sponsibility. He made a striking con- trast between conditions as they extst- ed before the war and as they oxist today. His speech called to mind the eloquence that marked the earllor years of the last century, and his hear- fers gave vent to their approval by frequent outbursts of applause. G. F, Hunnicutt, editor of the South ern Cultivator, made an address on “Growing What You Bat on the Farm,” and stated that ff the farmers [of the south honed to meintain @ high price for cotton they must cease planting every available sere of ground in this crop. In order to keep from buying every article of cousump- tion at retail prices, the speaker said they must raise more corn, oats and hay and give greater attention to thelr gardens. He showed the enor- mous economic waste entailed by fer tillzing and cultivating twenty acres of cotton when by fertilizing and cul tivating only fifteen acres the farmer would get just as much cash for his crop and save the labor and fertilizer that applied on the extra five acres, while devoting those five acres to pro- ducing things now purchased for cash or on credit, KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TA BOR HOLD EIGHTH ANNUAL GRAND SESSION.
