A Charleston Delegate Makes a Fine Showing—The Colored People of South Carolina—The Boot and Shoe Business Ably Discussed by Mr. J. Perry Seabrook—Lessons of Success in Embarking in Any Kind of Business—What Charlestonians Are Doing in a Commercial Way. The Charleston Exhibit was exceptionally large, embracing over thirty photographs. Mr. Arthur L. Macbeth, the local Negro photographer, had charge of that work and made a very creditable showing. On Friday, Mr. J. Perry Seabrook, the president and delegate of the local League, addressed the convention on "The Boot and Shoe Business." Mr. Seabrook's address was unusually interesting, touching upon a business of which he represents, the only one conducted by a member of the League. Mr. Seabrock, in his usual eloquent and expressive manner, held the close attention of his audience. Among other things, he said: "Mr. Chairman, Delegates, Ladies and ..Gentlemen of this Convention: "It has been my personal desire for the past two years to become a part of this great move inaugurated for the purpose of inspiring and bettering the commercial side of the Negro life. Today I not only stand before you in realization of my gain, but as a representative of the commercial element of the city of Charleston, the State of South Carolina. Perhaps it is fitting for me to say here by way of explanation that the people of Charleston are very conservative. "This accounts, I think, for the slow way we have grasped the doings and the anticipated result of the National Negro Busoness League. We believe in the old adage, 'Be sure you are right and then go ahead.'

Emancipation Day Befittingly Celebrat COL AM —THREE ET dd—The Industrial League a Motor Power in Building Up the Race—Mrs. Terrell Speaks Under the Auspices of the Women's Club—Paragraphs Pungent and Personal. MEMPHIS, TENN., Special.—Under the auspices of the Industrial League, the Emancipation celebration was on a higher order this year than ever before. Several months ago a committee of the Industrial League assembled for the purpose of making arrangements for the exercises. After long and heated discussions as to whether it should be September 22 or January 1, the former date was selected. The next important matter was the orator of the day. Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C., was unanimously elected. The committee also arranged for woman's day and invited Mrs. Terrell to speak to the women, which she did in a manner never before witnessed [Name] J. JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL. An Honored Man of Howard Univers PRICE, FIVE CENTS in Memphis. Mrs. Terrell did not use manuscript. For two hours she held the attention of her audience without the least hesitation for words well put. While Mrs. Terrell could not accept all invitations tendered to address different clubs over the city, she accepted a great many. Houses never appeared too humble for this noble and kind-hearted woman to enter and say something for the elevation of her people. Mrs. Terrell is as graceful on the rostrum as she is eloquent; she is an optimist, and it is safe to say those who heard her left seeing a brighter future than ever before. To say that Mrs. Terrell's address was grand and that her peroration almost raised the audience from its feet would be describing it in a very mild degree. Mrs. Terrell's advice to the women of Memphis to close themselves in seclusion, get books, read, study and learn something, was as timely as it was needful. The women's exercises commenced at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Terrell was formally introduced by Mrs. G. P. Hamilton, wife of Prof. Hamilton, principal of Kortricht High School.

Hurst, of Clarksdale, Miss., was in the city this week on a visit to his family, who are at the home of his mother-in-law. Mrs. Hurst is somewhat indisposed. Mr. Hurst is, without doubt, the ideal leader of the young Republicans of this State as well as a power in the old J. MR. SAMUEL P. HURST. school. His legion of friends here in Jackson are always glad to see him. His unstained record in the services of the past, his unquestioned ability to cope with any of the political leaders of the State, easily commend him to the best graces of the younger element of the party, who demand such fitness for leadership as he possesses. Jackson, (Miss.,) Republican. THE EDUCATION OF BOYS. In The Delineator for November Mrs. Theodore W. Birney has a suggestive paper on the Education of Boys as Future Fathers and Citizens. The gist of her argument is that boys seldom receive the sympathy to which they are entitled—not a maudlin, sentimental sympathy that is calculated to spoil the child, but an intelligent comprehension of his needs and an interest in his doings and belongings. Her conclusion is that if parents will only take a genuine interest in all things that interest their boys, they can hold their confidence, and so long as they possess that they can be reasonably sure that their sons will not go far wrong. Parents are wont to look on the problems of youth with eyes of an adult. How much good would result to many little fellows if their parents would come down to their viewpoint or come up perhaps, recognizing the limitations of their inexperience and judging their deeds and misdeeds in the light of it. The rule of the rod is past, and inasmuch as the new order of things has brought much happiness into the lives of the little ones, so will a better understanding of the boy nature on the part of parents benefit them immensely. THE COLORED AMERICAN AT BIG BETHEL. Three Powerful Sermon's in one Day.—All Forces Working in Harmony.—Dr. Scott's Popularity and Good Work. That rain never interferes with the intensely intersted people was shown by the splendid audiences at the three services held in Metropolitan church, Sunday, October 11,. Seldom do we have three services in which all the sermons are so broad, so deep, so impressive. Dr. W. H. Brooks was at his best. Dr. Gordon, President of Howard University, made many friends for his ideas on "Thought." Dr. Scott will continue his series of sermons on "Facts." The Christian Endeavor Society is doing excellent work. Their services areabove the average and, to know how much they are appreciated one needs only attend the 6 o'clock meetings, held each Sabbath evening, in the lecture room. More than one Amen and Hallelujah was heard when it was known that $1,300 had been raised at the Sunday Rally, Sunday, October 18th. All who failed to respond will have an opportunity of doing just what the church has worked and prayed for during the last three months, $2,-000.. Do you love the Sunday School? Be in your places at 9.30 a. m., and spend an hour with the children. The Woman's Day promises a surprise in a days for the Stewardesses. The meeting for the fourth Sunday will be addressed by Miss Emma Merritt. Solo by Miss Kennerly, who possesses a rich, sweet soprano voice. The Star Concert from a musical standpoint, was a grand success. As many students are anxious to be benefited by the hours study in Dr. Scott's Bible class, it is possible the time may be changed to Thursday night, 7 to 8. Be in your places at 10.55 if you would fully enjoy the procession from the altar to the choir. The members appear to an advantage in their vestments. Their singing was grand; with Prof. Layton in the lead we only look for high class music. Mrs. Dr. Harris will read a paper, "Hygiene" before Woman's Day, 4th Sunday in October, 4 p.m. Mr. J. R. Dent, who was to give a dinner at Lakeview Park, has postponed it until October 29. Mr. J. H. Fletcher, of Boston, Mass., is visiting in this city, the guest of his brother-in-law, Mr. E. C. Allen, of the Southern Hotel.

Colored Republicans Object to Apostate Leaders. Bishop Small Honored. Mobile, Ala., Special—The reception given to Bishop J. B. Small by the citizens of Mobile, at State St., church last Tuesday night will long be remembered by him. The different clergymen of the city was a feature of the program. Rev. A. N. McEwen, pastor of Franklin Street Baptist church certainly knows how to sway an audience. Rev. McEwen and Dr. R. A. Morris, pastor of Big Zion church made able addresses. Hon. W. J. Steven's letter to Senator Marcus A. Hanna, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee voices the sentiment of every Negro in Alabama in this first Congressional District. The reference so said of President Roosevelt has appointed one of the strongest Lillie Whites in Mobile county as dictator of all the federal appointments of this District in the person of RT. REV. BISHOP J. B. SMALLS, A. M. D. D., York, Pa. RT. REV. BISHOP J. B. SMALLS, A. M. D. D., York, Pa. W. H. Ambrech. Just before the last Republican State Convention, Ambrech ran in the Democratic primaries for Attorney General, and was defeated as soon as the majority of the Negroes of Alabama was disfranchised. Up comes this Negro hater, who said in the Birmingham Convention that he would not sit in a convention with a Negro or support a white man, who was elected to a convention by a Negro. He wants to be the dictator as to who should hold federal office in his District. Messrs. Jas. T. Peterson and Clarence Allen have returned from New York. Mr. Allen speaks of having called on Hon. W. H. Smith while in New York, and says he has all of the law practice he can attend to. Mr. J. S. Davis is back in Mobile again. Mr. Davis is a member of the Republican State Executive Committee of which Mr. Wm. Stevens is the chairman. He THE COLORED AMERICAN is also an able newspaper writer.

Marshall, Manager of the Local Mercantile Department Withdraws from the District Work.—A Tower of Strength in True Reformer Circles.—Will Engage in Other Work. Mr. C. L. Marshall one of the most enterprising and successful men of the race has resigned his position as manager of the Mercantile Department of the True Reformers, and has gone to Farmville, Va., where he will engage in business. Mr. Marshall is well and favorably known in this city and was a strong advocate and a champion of the principles of True Reformerism. Through his efforts the Order was firmly intrenched in this city, the membership increased and a branch grocery store established. The great True Reformers Hall and Building, corner 12th and U streets, N. W., is the fruition of his efforts. He was not only energetic in business, but he was active in the literary societies, in the churches and in every movement which tended to elevate the race. His resignation as manager of the big grocery store in the new building as well as that from the Board of Directors of the Grand Fountain, was a surprise to his many friends. In sending in his resignation, Mr. Marshall resigned from everything except membership in the Order. He is Chairman of the W. W. Brown Monument Committee which position he still holds being a great admirer of that grand leader and founder of the Grand United Order of the True Reformer—Rev.W. W. Brown. To the President and Board of Directors of the Grand Fountain, U. O. True Reformers: Gentlemen: For a number of years I have been honored with membership on your Board, and the management of the Washington store, of the Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association. For good business reasons I hereby tender by resignation from both, to take effect not later than the first day of October, 1903. May the Order live and prosper. Thanking you for past honors, I remain. Yours in U. T. and C., C. L. MARSHALL." The following is taken from The Record, a local sheet: This action on the part of Mr. Marshall was quite a surprise to his many friends here, as it was practically conceded that he would be placed at the head of the Mercantile Department of the Order, on the retirement of Mr. Jordan, who resigned the position a short time ago. THE COLORED AMERICAN At present Mr. Marshall, with his amiable wife, is visiting his mother in Farmville, Va., and it is possible that he will ultimately locate there. He has in mind an extensive Southern tour, and will visit Tuskegee in his travels. Mr. Marshall came to this city ten years ago from British Columbia. While in the Queen's dominion he worked as a master painter, and was an honored member of the Painters' Union. During his stay here he has been identified with several business undertakings, having at one time conducted a real estate and loan business. Later he embarked in the grocery business, and kept stores, respectively, at Fifth and N streets, and Eighth and R sts. Disposing of his own interests, he had charge of the Reformers' general store for the past three years, under his management, the store's patronage has grown immensely and he leaves it in a most flourishing condition. He is a most ardent True Reformer, and it is largely through his instrumentality that the directors decided to locate a building here. By his thrift and economy Mr. Marshall has gained quite a competency and is the owner of several parcels of valuable improved real estate. His departure from the District takes a valuable man from its business interests. "HIAWAITHA" IN BALTI MORE. Among the Washingtonians who spent Sunday in Baltimore, were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew F. Hilyer. Mr. Hilyer while there met with the Executive Committee of the Colored Y. M. C. A., which has charge of the arrangements for the presentation by our choral society of Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawaitha," in Music Hall, a splendid auditorium, seating about 2,500 persons. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. Our choral society is very popular and will take a large crowd from Washington to testify to their appreciation. The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society will go to Baltimore, Nov. 27th, to render the beautiful "Hiawaitha" trilogy in Music Hall. We congratulate the music lovers of Baltimore on their opportunity to hear this magnificent music, rendered by so splendid a chorus. The soloist will be the most eminent that can be obtained. Megsrs.

President Lovinggood's Welcome Address a Master Piece of Eloquence and Common Sense. the Texas State Fair, it being Colored People's Day. There were many visitors from the surrounding country, and it was a great social affair. Greetings by old acquaintances and a renewal of old friendships was noticeable throughout the day. The order was good and an interesting program was rendered in Music hall. The choruses by 300 school children were well rendered. President R. S. Livinggood, of Sam Houston College, Austin, delivered the annual address. He said in part: "It is meet that we are here to show our interest in the material and civic advancement of our J. H. PROF. R. S. LOVINGGOOD, President of Houston College, Austin, Tex. glorious State. Our people must be interested in everything that concerns the weal of our State and nation. We should be as much interested in the boll weevil, good roads, or the State Fair as any other citizen. We must strive to be the most patriotic, the most industrious, the most peaceable, the most honest, the most useful, in fact, the best citizens in the community, for this is not a white man's government. It is a government for good people, and he who best serves his State is the best citizen. To this end usefulness should be our motto. The rule of love should govern us. We should be man-lovers, not man-haters. Love is eternal, hate is short lived. By love we can conquer. In this way we put ourselves in a position to receive all the blessings vouchsafed to any other citizen of our government. "All the Negro wants is a fair show in the race of life. I never saw a Negro in my life who want- THE COLORED AMERICAN ed social equality, but they do want civil and political justice, and this according to merit. On his merit he is willing to stand or fall. He will strive to be the best in the community. The Negro challenges the American white man to a contest—to prove the question of the fittest. Submit the ballot, honor, all questions of preferment to the arbitrament of merit. Clear the track. That's all we ask. "The government cannot deny this without forfeiting its right to exist. My fellow citizens, Texas is a magnificent State. It furnishes splendid advantages to our people in education, in business, etc. We appreciate these advantages. It is our duty to use them in the building of men and women of good character. Good character, after all, is at the bottom of all progress. There can be no industrial progress where there is no character as a boss. An ignorant and vicious race has never amounted to anything anywhere. From time to time our people begin to push off to Oklahoma, to Los Angeles, to Chicago or New York. Now, a ride on the train will not change character. Character is not a question of geography. A fool cannot be changed into a wise man by taking a trip on the train to Chicago. What we want to do is to be good, virtuous, industrious, peaceable and we have laid the foundation of progress. "We should labor to be valuable to the community. We should prove that we are not the white man's burden. Stay on the farms and pursue the paths of peace. Take a deep interest in your State, educate your children, strive to be the best in whatever you engage, cultivate peace and good will, and all will be well." THE NEGRO IN POLITICS. Voters Urged to Cling to the Party of Emancipation and Suffrage. At a conference or prominent colored men in the city last night, it was decided to issue an address to colored voters in behalf of the Republican party. Those who took part in the conference and signed the address were Judson W. Lyons, John C. Dancy, Walter H. Brooks, pastor Nineteenth Street Chuch; John P. Green, George W. Lee, pastor Vermont Avenue Baptist Church; Robert H. Terrell, Thomas H. R. Clarke, and Thomas M. Dent. The address is as follows: "The Republican party has ruled this nation with the exception of two administrations for the last forty-three years, and un- der its guiding hand the population has practically trebled. The glory and wealth of the nation has surpassed the most ardent expectations of all patriots, and universal liberty has been established. The ballet, which is the sign and stamp of a freeman, has been conferred upon all through the instrumentality of this great organization. To that party the colored man owes every civil and political he has ever possessed, or now enjoys. To guarantee to him those rights it has added three amendments to the Constitution, costing more in treasure and in blood to write them in the magna carta of the nation by ten fold than was expended to adopt the original document itself. "Thirteen years ago the spirit of disfranchisement and nullification, which all patriots hoped had been buried forever, reasserted itself in the State of Mississippi; and it has grown until now it haunts the borders of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia; and Maryland, a State wherein the colored man constitutes only about one-fifth of the entire population, and aggregates only about 60,000 voters. The Democratic party has declared for the Mississippi plan. To hesitate now to stand in serried and unbroken ranks for the Grand Old Party when this abhorrent spirit of disfranchisement knocks even at the door of the North, or to, by loose and inconsiderate speech, give encouragement to the common enemy—the Democratic party—is worse than folly; it is to the colored man political suicide. The party stands now where it has always stood—for the equality of all men, irrespective of race, color, or creed, before the law. It stands for prosperity, and we are not extravagant when we say that it is the only barrier to-day between the colored American and his complete political undoing. "President Roosevelt has, by every act of his administration, shown that he has inherited the great qualities of his predecessors, of leadership and the unalterable love for fair play. He is to be our next standard bearer in 1904; and any defeat of the party this year makes the right for his reelection next year harder and more difficult.

Olivet Baptist church and Rev. Doctor Chas. S. Morris, pastor of Abyssinia. Mary C. MRS. AMANDA MILLER, New York City, N. Y. who was chairman of the Reception. Rev. Morris on introducing Dr. Washington, said in part: "Distinguished Chief, welcome home is the sentiment of your friends and your country. We hope; and your appearance, sir, gives us reason to believe that you return to us rested and refreshed." It is with pleasure that I state to you sir, that at a convention of ten thousand Negroes held in Philadelphia, Pa., a few days ago, when the question of Leadership of the Race came up for discussion that convention constituted as it was of representative womenand men of the Race, from all parts of the country, voted unanimously that the one hope of the Negro Race, and its future betterment, rests in the hands of the modern Moses, Doctor Brooker T. Washington, and we, the Negroes of New York and vicinity, desiring to, if possible, add emphasis to the splendid and wise action of that convention, meet here to-night and in this public way, place ourselves on record and publish to the world, that we recognize your indisputable leadership; and like the Israelites of old, we are prepared to follow you into the promised land. Knowing that you always have a message to deliver, we now beg you to address us.." Abyssinia Baptist church is the J. J. C. W.

The menu was dainty and fit for the gods, and there was liquid refreshments in such quantities as to satisfy the thirst of the dryest traveler. Good cigars and music came in at pleasant intervals. Perhaps THE COLORED AMERICAN. the most interesting feature was the toast and speech making. A number of original poems were read, one by Pres, W. C. Evans, by Mr. J. B. Askins and others, while Mr. Lucius Peterson, John C. Dancy, Editor E. E. Cooper and others made the welkin ring with their oratory. The Temple Quartet, sometimes called the Crispus Attucks Quartet, rendered a number of selections which carried the house by storm. The Crispus Attucks Relief Association has started out on correct lines, and while not quite a month old is one of the strongest organizations in the city.

AFTER The Negro in Business (Continued from page 1.) that there abides in their bodies a soul which must be cared for by them, the disciples of God. But God did not intend that we should all administer to the soul of each other alone; he planned that some of us should administer to the soles of our feet. To-day I am here as an exponent or a as disciple for the care of the soles of the feet. We have been teaching the Nergo of the things unseen, and preparing him for eternity, but now we must teach him of the things seen and make him ready to live. "The particular pursuits that I wish to direct your attention to is that of the shoe business, unlike most of the commercial business. One might think that to undertake such, means a large capital, as well as long years of experience in handling shoes, before success can be assured. I have only to relate my few years of experience along this line to convince you that capital and years of training are not essential to a successful career in the shoe world, but that Garce, Grit and Brains stand out as the three greatest factors. "In the city of Charleston,October 21, 1899,the firm of Seabrook and Porter, shoe dealers, was launched. The capital stock and fixtures, $500; $200 reserve fund. This gave us about as many pairs of shoes as we could both carry in our arms, and about as many empty shoe boxes to adorn our shelves, and thus added to make a full display of the goods. "We spent a part of the month of September in Boston, where we received our first schooling from a Negro, who had been employed in the shoe factory as shipping clerk for several years. This man took special interest in us. Each night we would meet and talk over the meritorious points of a shoe. The average size of a man's foot, and women likewise, and what grades of shoes would be most suitable for Southern trades. It was more than one week spent in the accumulation of this knowledge, when we went to one of he biggest and richest concerns in the city of Boston to place our order for about fifty styles, all in the lowest and middle grades of shoes. We reached Charleston, everybody anxiously awaiting the opening of this Negro shoe store. "The idea of a general house to house canvass over the city presented itself. With the drummer idea we carried samples from house to house, exhorting each Negro to give us a trial—showing them the advantage as well as the quality of our goods, placing our profits on close marginal lines, and lastly appealing to their race pride. We carried out this method for about three months, when the demand for shoes exceeded the supply. By making every possible sacrifice, every available dollar had been turned into building up our stock. The empty shoe boxes had been displaced by boxes containing shoes. The little store, which was about five feet wide and fifteen feet long, was filled to its capacity. Nine months had passed, and we must launch out into deeper water, with the same old grit and determination to sink or swim. We moved into larger quarters. "Ninety per cent of the trade carried THECOLORED AMERICAN on is with the Negro; about ten per cent with whites. To the white, as well as the colored people the fact that shoes can be bought from a Negro concern, is a new feature. There are a number of Nero businesses supported entirely by the white people. But these are concerns that were established immediatelly after slavery, handling such commodities as the whites thought too degrading for them to handle. These Negroes have made money in their fields of business of the large patronage of the whites. Because of such successful career, to-day finds the whites going into the avenues and helping to awaken the onec powerful influence of the Negro, by gaining the patronage of the whites, who once sought the Negroes for these commodities. There has scarcely been a day past in the history of our business without the attempt to sell to some white customers. In some cases we are turned down because of our color, while others come in and inquire as to who carries on the business, and make purchases, after which they express themselves as being willing to trade with any one who gives them values, regardless of color. We note that whenever we place bargains in our windows the white people take advantage and buy them up before the Negro customers get around. If you are cheap they lose sight of your color. They want the best goods for the smallest amount. I feel that where it shall become a custom for the Negro to engage in all mercantile pursuits the whites and blacks alike flock to him. "The white shoe dealers have been no barrier to us; rather a help. They come around us and council with us as to the form and best method of handling our trade. In case we are short on sizes of a certain shoe, we can get this shoe from any white merchant with allowance of half the profit for ourselves, and so in this way we keep in touch with the leading shoe men, studying with them the greatest creator for business, which is style. It will take time and work, but it will bring reputation to business, and profit as nothing else will. It rests with you as to whether your store shall be the home of stylish shoes or whether those who wear the styles must go somewhere else to get them, and you lose the benefit and profit. "The shoe dealer can really do missionary service. Time was, when he had one line and one last; now there are lines and lasts without number, and it is here that his skill comes in. The man with the wide crooked foot will want a narrow straight shoe. He insists that he has worn that style of shoe all his life. As an evidence of this, his foot is the proud possessor of two bunions and as many corns as there are toes. The timid dealer will yield to his whim, but the man who is in business for more than the money there is in it almost refuses to sell him a shoe that will continue a source of annoyance. He finally convinces his man, and each time has made a lifelong customer. There is a hygienic value in shoes and we push it. "Be sure that you are a strictly onepriced house. A two-priced shoe store nowadays cannot meet with success, for you must have the full confidence of your customers. It might make a few sales at first, more quickly, but it would only be a question of time when the public would find it out, and when the people find they can not trust to your honesty no longer they will look for another place to do their trading. The old maxim, 'Honesty is the best policy,' always holds good. In case a customer buys a pair of shoddy shoes from you, and the customer returns the same, always give that customer another pair of shoes and return the shoddy ones to the manufacturer, who will make good such failures. "One of the most convincing trade features of the shoe business is to get the people interested in you and you in them. Never meet an acquaintance on the street and bore him to buy shoes of you, unless he sugegsts that he must soon have a pair; then tell him what you have that would be nice for him, and ask him to call in and see them when he gets ready to buy. Exercise tact and courtesy in trading with customers. It's hard to win a customer, easy to lose one. Have always a sweet 'thank you for your patronage,' and a 'come again' on the end of your tongue, whether you have been able to sell or not. "By carrying out these few set principles, our business has shown an increase in the gross proceeds each year, ranging from $1,000 to $1,500. And a stock always on hand between $3,000 and $4,000. This has not been accomplished through luck, but rather to close attention to business, and an insight of a few years' experience." WANTED. Young man desires position as bookkeeper.

THE FIFTEENTH AMEND. MENT. - The Northern people seem con- tent to let the South alone in its work of self-preservation, and hat should content the South. An igitation for the repeal of the fif- ‘eenth ‘amendment at ‘this time might, and probably would, rouse the fanatics in the North, who have always hated the South- orn people, and supply them with . battle cry which might work in- inite harm, even if it did no more than deprive the South of its pro- vortionate electorial vote and rep- resentation in Congress.

A great many colored people had stands on the Fair grounds. “Bred.” Wilson had ‘Cracker- Jacks,” which he made and sold. Mrs. May Neal had a lunch stand, Mrs. Chinn ran a_ dining room, Mr. John Farmer also had a lunch room, Sam Willes had a dairy stand. Among the exhibitors was that of Mrs. Emma Lewes and Leo- pold Green, their line is hair goods which was displayed by the use of large,wax dolls, dressed in all the latest “style of costumes and coif- fure. These attracted the atten- tion of every passing woman and child. There was a few other ex- hibits by other colored people, but Messrs. Ames, Lewis and Greens’ were the principle ones. Mr. J. C. Miller was down from Chicago and was in the agricul-| ture department. This place he has held for many years. He is well and favorably known in Springfield. Mr Thomas Gaines has solved the Negro probiem so far as he is concerned. Every foot of his farm at Woodside is under culti- vation and made to yield a hand- some income. He has two large hot houses which he built him- self. These in the winter are planted entirely in lettuce. Every day from the rst of December un- til Spring he sells from five to twenty-five dollars — let- tuce. He has all the small fruits from strawberries to pears and in addition has an apiary which pro- duces hundreds of pounds of the finest clover honey. Mr. Gaines has a large and interesting family. During Fair week a large num- her of the many thousands who came to Springfield, visited the home and tomb of Abraham Lin- coln, showing that the loving in- terest in the great emancipator is not dimmed after forty years, but rather that the people understand and appreciate what his mighty achievements and example mean to the whole American people, more and more, as the years pass.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1903. THEY GOT WHAT WAS COMING. The Boston Transcript, in its issue of Friday, October 9, has the following news item regarding the trial and sentence of the men who recently sought to create a riot in a church where Booker T. Washington was advertised to speak: "Thirty days in jail is the sentence which has been imposed upon William M. Trotter, editor of the Guardian, and Granville Martin, the two Negroes found guilty of disturbing the meeting on July 30 in the Columbus Avenue African Methodist Episcopal Church, at which Booker T. Washington spoke. Judge Sherman was asked by counsel either to impose a fine or to place the defendants on probation, but this he declined to do, saying: 'The case before the court is a very sad one. Here are two representatives of a race which in other parts of the country encounters much prejudice and has to stand for much abuse. In the city of Boston they are given their rights, but instead of enjoying them properly they go to a meeting called for a lawful purpose and create a disgraceful scene. These men might have thought Washington was unwise, but they had no right to disturb the meeting. If there is any race I have sympathy for it is the colored race, by reason of what its members have suffered in the past. But the law must be administered in order to teach others not to offend.'" --- THE COLORED AMERICAN. The Lancet, one of the best race journals published in the city of Baltimore, Md., prints a well-written article from the pen of Mr. P. Willis, in the New York Commercial Observer, under the caption of "Settlement Work in the Far South," and apologizes for it in this wise: "We give up considerable of our space this week to an interesting account of a great work being done in the South by Miss Annie Davis, a graduate of Tuskegee. We do this all the more cheerfully because we are thought to be opposed to the methods of Mr. Washington. We are opposed to his politics, to his truckling attitude in some important matters, and to his questionable silence where his expressed opinion wolud be productive of good, but we are not blind to the virtues he does possess, nor ignorant of the helpful work which he and his disciples are doing in many ways. We have no sympathy with indiscriminate criticism of the man and his work." The above is good, but why "trucking" and "questionable silence?" What would the Lancet have Mr. Washington do? Could he take the blatant mouthings of Northern agitators South and accomplish anything? Would the work at Tuskegee thrive without the sympathy and co-operation of the South? Can Mr. Washington do more than five Republican Presidents with the Federal Government behind them? We ought to be fair and reasonable and give credit to whom credit is due. Young men who were born and reared in the South should not let a few years of residence in the North turn their heads. One of the latest anti-Washington converts is Hon.(?) John E. Jones, of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Jones has been an objector and an iconoclast ever since we can remember. He has made more schisms in secret societies, in churches and political organizations than any other Negro living. The opposers of Dr. Booker T. Washington are without exception men of his ilk. Considerable space is given in this issue of THE COLORED AMERICAN to what we have chose to term The Tuskegee Idea. The article is from the pen of Mr. E. J. Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala., and is a cursory review of an article printed in the Atlantic Monthly for October from the pen of Dr. Washington. Many of Mr. Washington's critics do not understand his methods nor his idea. They have not taken the time to inform themselves, but go on "hearsay." Every reader of this paper is earnestly invited to read Mr. Scott's article. The truth will not hurt. From the best information at hand we infer that the management of the Central Union Mission does not regard the colored people as being worthy of consideration in missionary work for the Master. We say this without prejudice and in no spirit of faultfinding, but simply to call the attention of the management to the fact that they will utterly fail to impress intelligent people with the idea that they are imbued with the spirit of Christ, or are capable of doing service for His cause unless they are able to overcome, to a larger extent than hitherto manifested by them, a prejudice against the colored brother. The Republicans of the States who are stationed at the Nation's Capital save sounded the slogan of the campaign, and have issued a manly, patriotic appeal to the voters in the States. The address is, signed by such well-known leaders as Hons. Judson W. Lyons, Register of the U. S. Treasury, John C.Dancy, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Judge Robert H. Terrell, U. S. Magistrate, John P. Green, U. S. stamp agent, and other active Republicans. President Roosevelt's administration was endorsed. Now let the calamity howlers howl. WEDDINB BELLS. Miss Louise Josephine Harlan, the daughter of Col. Robert J. Harlan, was married to Mr. William Henry Bascum, Wednesday evening, October 21, at 719 S. Warnock street, Philadelphia, Pa. Miss Harlan is a Cincinnati by birth, and is well known in this city, where she spent a number of years. She will be greatly missed in the social circles of Washington. The name and good deeds of the present occupant of the White House will be written on the pages of the future history as one of the best Presidents this country ever had. He is President of the people—the whole people—and God will smile upon any nation whose people will honor such a great and good man. The President does what he believes to be right. The colored people of Savanah, Ga., continue to patronize the "peanut galleries" of the opera houses, while in Kansas City, Mo., they eat in the kitchens of white restaurants instead of patronizing eating houses conducted by members of their own race. Judge Terrell's recent interview in a Memphis, Tenn., newspaper defending the policy of Dr. Booker T. Washington, has made him the target of the small bore critics, who are opposed to work and who believe that the world owes them a living. There is hope for Tillman's State. Not all of his constituents are as besotted with race prejudice as the Cyclopsian Senator is himself. A Greenville white jury has just convicted a white man of criminal assault upon a colored woman. Members of our local police and fire departments are retired and pensioned after a certain number of years of active service. Why not apply this rule to our public schools? Washington Patriarch, No. 18, G. U. O. O. F. tendered a testimonial to col. William P. Gray at Odd Fellows Hall, 1606 M street northwest, Monday evening, October 19. The exercises began at 8 p.m. Among the features were a competitive drill between First Lieut. William P. Gray, who will command the first platoon, and James E. Ennis, who will command the second platoon. Another feature will be a guessing contest in which the winner will win a $2.50 gold piese. The committee of arrangements is a large and a very strong one and a large attendance is expected. The Invincible Orchestra will furnish the music. The public is invited. It is reported that Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, will accept second place on the Republican National ticket. Roosevelt and Fairbanks would sweep the country, with the exception of the Solid South and the District of Columbia in doubt. Over five thousand colored men voted against Seth Low at the last municipal election in New York City, and several thousand more will refuse to support him this fall, because of his failure to recognize the Negro voter in an official capacity. Foreman W. A. Miller, of the Government Printing Office, seemed a "tough" proposition to organized labor in this city and elsewhere. Plymouth Rock marked the initial movement of the early advocates of liberty, and Plymouth Church sheltered the first meeting of the Suffrage League of this city. Singular coincidences. There is an increased attendance at the Washington High School this year and a possibility of a fifth company of high school cadets organized. Capt. Edward L. Webster is acting as military instructor in the absence of Major Arthur Brooks, who accompanied Secretary Root on his European trip. At this season of the year it is well to take a peep at your own coal bin. Many a ton of coal has been thrown over the "drinking"-bars of our saloons and steamboats this summer. The open season for the "hot-air" statesman begins next month with the opening of our literaries and debating societies. A frock coat and a tall hat and a strong pair of lungs constituted the average preacher's stock in trade many years ago. These things count for but little in these progressive days. It takes genuine money to publish a newspaper. Do you subscribe for THE COLORED AMERICAN? The "knocker" never takes a vacation. He is up all night with schemes, while honest men are wrapped in dreams. It is rumored that the next District of Columbia delegation to the Republican National Convention will not support Roosevelt unless he promises to deliver a few judgeships, district inspectors, etc. We fear(?) the President is uneasy about this. It is highly unnecessary for those who contribute cartoons to Negro newspapers to copyright their productions. They are simply inimitable. Representatives and agents of the ex-Slave Pension scheme at the South are being indicted and jailed as fast as the arm of the law can reach out and secure them. The colored press of the country has contributed largely toward the exposure of this visionary scheme. Judge Terrel’s Speech (Continued from page 1.) titul roses in an excellent address by Mrs. Dr. W. J. Yerby. After the audi- ence sang “Nearer My God to Thee,” benediction was announced and every- body left, acknowledging the greatness of a woman whose childlike spirit of Christ, coupled with her culture and ability, will not be truly appreciated till she is gone. Miss Mary Lou Kirk rendered an instrumental solo which did credit to herself as well as the oc- casion. At 7:30 p. m., people began coming in to hear Judge Terrell. On the speaker’s stand sat officers of Doug- lass Post No. 86, and directly in front was the Post—all in uniform. The following officers of Douglass Post No. 86 occupied seats on the rostrum: Adj. Gen, George Jones, Lieut.-Col. Buck Smith, Maj. S. Wilkes, Officer-of-the- Day Frank Kelly, Officer-of-Guards George Weaver.

MARY CHURCH TERRELL. accompanied by Hon. J. T. Settle and officers of Douglass Post 85 marched to their seats, amid yells and shouts, the young men’s Brass Band played patriotic airs. Immediately after the last note had fallen into silence, in his characteristic way, Mr. Settle very feelingly welcomed the distinguished guests, after which he presented the speaker. On his response to the wel- come address, Judge Terrell expressed much pleasure at being in Memphis after an absence of twelve years. He said the noblest deed he had ever com- mitted was done in Memphis the last time he visited the city on the bluffs. This reference to his marriage to Miss Mollie Church created a long and loud applause. With an expression as sol- emn as if he was about to render a decision in which the whole race was interested, the Judge looked the audi- ence squarely in the face for several minutes without uttering a word, after which he expressed himself as follows: “I have most serious objection to your program; it is too long and has too many prominent people on it. F cannot make a speech as good as the gentlemen who preceded me, and cer- tainly I could not hope to speak as well as the lady who addressed you this afternoon.” (Loud and continued aplause.) . Advancing to the speaker’s stand the Judge held the attention of the nee for one bour and forty-five THE COLORED AMERICAN. minutes. Memphis _ audiences have been bored so with manuscripts; it was with feeling of honest fear that everybody drew a long breath when the speaker was seen with his unwrit- ten speech. But the moment he com- menced the most fastidious person in the audience was convinced that the right man was in the right place. Not since the late J. C. Price visited Mem- phis and delivered his address from manuscript, have we seen any speaker use one with anything like the skill as did the Judge. So well did he handle his papers'a great many thought he had none. From every point of view, literary, historical, as well as delivery, this was the grandest Emancipation address ever delivered in Memphis. Stepping two feet from the speaker's ward, the Judge delivered a peroration stand, with his right arm raised up- that caused the audience to shake the building with applause. To speak of two people as great as are Judgé and Mrs. Terrell in one article, is indeed a hard task. Each is an example of the importance or our leaders being thor- ough in their education. It is safe to say if we had a greater number of such persons who are willing to mingle with the masses with the object in view of lifting them up, our condition would be much improved. The trouble with too many of our leaders is, the higher they climb the farther from the race they pull. In this respect it was inter- esting to note the poor but respecta- ble places visited by Mr and Mrs. Ter- rell while in our city. A grand ban- quet was tendered at Church’s audito- rium. Sixty plates were laid. Toasts humorous as well as interesting and instructive were delivered by promi- nent ones present. Mrs. E. W. Irving, wife of Dr. E. W. Irving, rendered a well-worded paper on ““4r Wowen,” which received much ¢ use. Judge and Mrs. Terrell delivered coasts which created laughter and applause. They are gone from us, but hearty hand- shakes, pleasant smiles and the easy manner in which all could approach them, will ever remain with us. Brom BOones.. MUSICAL MATTERS. Miss Marie James took a special course in music at the New York Conservatory this summer. The Star Concert last Monday evening, at the Metropolitan Church was quite a success. The Amphion Glee club which is entering upon the twelfth year of its remarkable existence is be- ing re-organized with a view to accomplish greater usefulness. Director Lewis is planning a trip for them to the World’s Fair and the club is taking on greater ac- tivity than has been manifested for several seasons. Dr. J. T. Walker formerly choirmaster at St. Luke’s P. E. Church, but who has decided ‘tc devote his time to a closer appli- cation of his medical profession, has been succeeded as choirmaster by Mr. Thos. A. Johnson who had charge of musical matters there some years ago. — Mr. Walter B. Hayson is the leading spirit in an effort to pre- sent a series of recitals here dur- ing this season at which some of the very best musicians of the race will appear. Tickets for the series are much in demand. Miss Europe, the well-known pianist, has been appointed on the staff of musical instructors in the public schools. Efficient choir leaders are much in demandsand it will! be of interest to many of our young men who aspire to musical honors to prepare themselves for that kind of work, as the time is not dis- tant when all of our churches will be forced to invest more generous- ly for musical matters than is done now. GRANVILLE AND TROT- TER JAILED. Thirty Days for Disturbing Mr. Washington’s Meeting. The Superior Criminal Court Room was crowded yesterday af- ternoon by colored people, attract- ed there by the fact that Martin Granville and William T. Trotter, the two men found guilty of dis- trubing a meeting in the Colum- bus Avenue Colored Chyrch, when Booker T. Washington was present, were to come up for sen- tence. s Clement Morgan, the lawyer, who -ppeared for the defendants, oit~ ced a motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence and_ the weight of the evidence, but this the court overruled, and then Mr. McLaughlin, the assistant district attorney, moved for sentence. Counsel called seven gentlemen to speak as to the character of the men, which was more than usual- ly good. Judge Sherman, after listening patiently to all these witnesses said: “It is-a most unsatisfactoryy thing to pass sentence in such a case. This is a very sad case. “ere is a race that in certain parts of the- country have prejudice enough against them. But here ir the city of Boston we try to give them their rights, and that at a meeting called for a lawful pur- nose, and to hear one of their owr distinguished men, there should have been this disturbance by such men as these is a disgrace.” ‘ Clerk Manning then read the sentence committing the defend- ants each to 30 days in jail —Oct. 9, 1903, Boston Post. Mrs. Maude McKinley (nee Cuney) who has held a position in the Interior Department for a number of years. has resigned to accept a positon in Prairie View College, Prairie View, Tex., as teacher of music. 9 Se annem.
