TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN WYOMING'S CAPITAL TWENTIETH YEAR SOCIAL AC CHEYENNE, WYOMING. Miss Kathryne Turner and Miss Ella Turner have returned to their home in Nebraska, after a year's visit with Mrs. J. E. Smith. Mrs. George Hopkins is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Q. J. Gilmore, this week. Mrs. Bratton is able to be out after a long illness of rheumatism. Mrs. J. C. Gaskin is recovering after a week's illness. Messrs. Smiths, Gaskins and Taylor spent a few days in Denver. While there Messrs. Smiths purchased a touring car. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson is continually improving, also Mrs. H. Cooper. Mrs. H. Pierce has returned from a long trip at Omaha, Kansas City and other eastern points. Rev. Baker has returned to his charge at Butte, Mont., after a four months' visit. A very interesting program was rendered by the A. M. E. Missiosary Society at their monthly meeting. There was music by Misses Ruby Gaskin and V. Taylor. Songs by the Juvenile Choir and Misses Ethel Gaskin and Harriet Taylor. Talks by Mr. N. Smith and Mrs. Smith, a missionary, who spent a few days in our city. The monthly song service was also given by the choir at night and a few remarks from Mrs. Smith. Manager Tuhey of the Majestic theater, entertained the Ninth Cavalry at a theater party Sunday to witness the performance of Williams & Walker's Chocolate Drops, with King and Bailey. The performance was attended largely through the week by both races, they having had to be held over to accommodate the crowd. The Baptist church has organized a Literary Society and they hold a weekly meeting every Monday. The following programme was rendered this week: Hymn, society; quotations from Dunbar; reading, Miss Marie Smith; recitation, Mrs. P. Crutchfield; vocal solo, Miss Thistle; recitation, J. E. Leonard. After this a delightful supper was served by the ladies of the church to raise --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JULY 24 1909 money to send delegates to the Western Baptist Association. Cards have been received from Miss Ruth Robinson, who is visiting East, stating she is having a splendid time. Messrs. Thistle and Lucas spent a day in fishing trout this week and came back with quite a number. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker moved into their cozy little bungalow out on Twentieth street. Miss Lillian Jefferson, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, entertained a few of her girl friends at her beautiful home on Nineteenth street. The occasion of this was to make "ice cream" candy. Arriving at her home each girl put on a dainty apron and went to the kitchen to help make the delicious repast. With a few burns and mistakes the jolly crowd soon put forth a large dish of their first trial candy. After the cooking was over the hostess then served ice cream and cake. Those present were Messrs. Minsle Cave, Virgil, Ethel, Ruby Gaskin, Viran and Harriet Taylor and S. Kathryne Thistle. All reported having a fine time, as only can be had at the home of the delightful little entertainer. "All aboard," "Tickets, please," "India," "Japan," were the pleasant sounds heard when the S. L. C. gave their "Trip to the Orient." Our "tourist cars" proved to be the coal wagons used daily in hauling coal, and our engineers were no other than Messrs. J. C. Gaskins, S. Gaskin and O. Gaskin, and the voice of our depot conductor soon told he was Mr. E. F. Landor. Arriving at Paris, which was the A. M. E. church, we saw beautiful Parisians in the person of Miss L. Hopkin, beautifully dressed in pink with hair fired on Roman style, having the pink ribbon adorning it, and Mrs. H. H. Jones, charmingly dressed in white. Here we received buillon and wafers. Our train soon pulled out and India was our next destination. The distance between these two was truly represented, for a long drive east around the lake and through town was given us before we came to India. Here our natives were in the persons of Mrs. C. A. Ashford and Mr. P. Crutchfield, who were attired in costume. The house was prettily decorated in blue and yellow and a profusion of flowers seemed everywhere, while off in a cozy little corner on the porch a Hindoo fortune teller, known in life as Mrs. E. F. Landor, gave delightful life readings of the present, past and future. After a delightful luncheon planned on Indian style the voice of depot master called Japan. Distance against interfered and after a long journey up Randall avenue, Boulevard, around Pioneer Park, the late train arrived at Japan, and cute little Japanese hostesses were Mrs. Redd and Mrs. Duess. Here beautiful young girls were sold as is the custom in Japan to-day, to the highest bidder. The house was decorated with flowers and Japanese anterns. Fruit salad proved to be the luncheon of these quaint little people. The distance between Japan and America was short, and arriving home we sang songs and had a general good time, as only Americans can. Punch was given to us to quench our thirst after our long trip, and after a song, "Love Me and the World is Mine," we departed to the various homes, having enjoyed with the ladies another trip never to be forgotten. The Young Boy's Club gave a delightful picnic at Silver Crown Station. Leaving early in the morning in the "Broadway" of Mr. S. Smith. Mrs. L. Courtney chaperoned the jolly crowd. Those who spent the day among the mountains were Misses Minnie Cave, Marenia Palmer, Eva Palmer and Lucy Smith; Messrs. W. Cooper, Earl and Elmer Smith, S. Cave, G. Hailey, G. Taylor, R. Lewis and P. Baler. Mr. Edward Landor received the sad intelligence that his mother, Mrs. Louisa Cook, who lived in Tokepa, Kansas, died last Thursday evening. Mr. Lando left to attend the funeral, which occurred in Topeka last Sunday. Miss S. Katheryn Thistle has been acting as assistant in furnishing and writing news for The Statesman, the regular correspondent, Mrs. E. F. Landor, accepting her services most gratefully. Miss Thistle will assist Mrs. Landor during the summer in supplying The Statesman with Cheyenne news. Jeo. G. Ross has been assefend in the case of John Colorado Springs, wherein kill and murder was preis wife. The assignment Judge Carlton Bliss of the Criminal court. FIVE CENTS A COPY Higher Court Against Dugro. Judges of Appellate Division of Supreme Court at New York Do Not Share Sentiments of Lower Court as to Rights of Negroes and Whites. Again the case of George W. Griffin, the Afro-American Pullman car porter, against Daniel M. Brady, in which Justice Dugro of New York said some weeks ago that the false arrest of the Negro didn't humiliate him as much as if he had been a white man, has come before the public. It was brought up a few days ago by the action of the appellate division in ordering a new trial of the case, but with the statement that the court did not indorse the opinions of Justice Dugro on the rights and standing of Negroes and whites. Justice Dugro's decision had caused wide comment. It was commented on from California to New York. Griffin was a porter of a train on which Brady rode to Montreal. When the white man got off he found that his cardcase, which had contained $20, was missing. He went to a magistrate and got a warrant for Griffin, who was arrested. But there was little evidence, and he was acquitted. Coming to New York, Griffin sued Brady for false arrest, and on the trial the jury brought in a verdict of $2,500. Justice Dugro reduced the amount to $300. He held that he "was a porter, and, while he is just as good as the president of the United States and if he is imprisoned wrongfully he should be paid for it, it would be a bad argument to say he is just as good in many senses. He would not be hurt just as much if put in prison as every other man would be. That depends on a man's standing, what his circumstances are, and, if he is a colored man, the fact that he is a colored man is to be considered. "You cannot say that he is just the same as a white man when you come to say how much his shame will suffer. He might suffer more. But, after all, what are the probabilities about it? Is it likely that when a colored man is arrested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might? "In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man, for the law says he is, but he has not the same amount of injury under all circumstances that a white man would have." Educators of Negro Youth. National Association of Teachers. In Annual Meeting at Asheville. Discuss the Principles of Education—Bishop Warner Tactful—Dr.Wright's Famous Message Cited. By L. M. WRIGHT. There was recently held at Asheville, N. C., at the Young Men's institute, an organization founded by George W. Vanderbilt, a most notable convention of educators of the colored youth known as the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The association was formed some six years ago and is composed not only of Negroes, but also of whites who teach in Negro schools. Being composed of the teachers of both races, the discussions were necessarily conservative and dwelt upon principles of education rather than matters merely of racial interest. The president of the association is R. R. Wright, LL. D., who is also the president of the Georgia State Industrial college at Savannah. Dr. Wright is one of the most distinguished Negroes of America. It was he who when a mere boy, shortly after the close of the civil war, gave that now famous answer to a request for a message to the north from General O. O. Howard, who was then at Atlanta, "Tell them we are rising," and who was during the Spanish-American war major and paymaster of the United States army. Dr. Wright has been for thirty years a teacher in the state of Georgia, having established the first colored public high school in that state in 1880. He was also the first president of the first state college for Ne- eo PRESIDENT R. R. WRIGHT. gro youth in Georgia in 1891. As early as 1879 Dr. Wright organized one of the first associations of Negro teachers ever held in the south. On the opening evening of the teachers' convention Hon. John E. Campbell, the mayor of Asheville, made the welcome address. Addresses on behalf of the teachers and citizens of the state were delivered by Professor T. S. Inborden, principal of the J. K. Brick school of Enfield, N. C., and Dr. J. W. Walker of Asheville. President Wright responded to the welcome and deliver- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ed the annual address on "The Teacher as a Factor In Race Efficiency." He declared that an efficient race, like an efficient individual, was one that was able to take care of itself, was energetic, self reliant, resourceful, provident, prosperous and hopeful. For the Negro to have all these admirable qualities he must be taught them in a large measure by the teacher, for civilization is the offspring of education. "Our teachers are a powerful force in developing character and bettering social conditions, but the relation between the teacher and the home of the child must somehow be made closer. The teacher must work not only with the pupil, but with the parent. A great responsibility rests upon the teachers. It is taken for granted that they see the need of organization, and that they understand the task that is set before them, and that they know that in this age of electricity and combination individual effort must be strengthened and made most effective by co-operation with others working in the same sphere." The roll of states showed on the first day that fifteen states and the District of Columbia were represented. The following subjects were discussed. The following subjects were discussed during the sessions of the convention: "Vocational Training In Our Grammar Courses," by Mr. W. H. Singleton, principal of grammar school, Chattanooga, Tenn. "How I Have Interested My Public School Pupils In Agriculture," by Mr. J. H. Garvin, superintendent colored city schools, Winchester, Ky. "How the Colored City Schools May Be Made to Fit City Conditions," by Mr. W. H. Valentine, supervisor colored public schools, Indianapolis, Ind. Address, Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the Anna T. Jeanes fund for rural schools, New Orleans. "Some Suggestions For the Improvement of the Negro Rural Schools," by Mr. Charles L. Coon, superintendent public schools, Wilson, N. C. "The Teacher as an Influence In the Business and Economic Life of the Community," by Mr. W. G. Pearson, principal colored schools, Durham, N. C. "The Place of the Kindergarten In Our Educational System," by Miss Georgia F. Koontz, Anderson, S. C. The final address was made by Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., who is the editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern of Philadelphia on "The Negro Teacher as a Social Missionary." A reception was given to the delo gates by the citizens of Asheville which showed their appreciation of the good work of these educators. One of the most notable of the addresses of the session was that of Dr. Wertenbaker of the United States public health department. Dr. Wertenbaker explained with especial care the causes of tuberculosis, its origin and spread, its prevention and cure and was listened to by a most appreciative audience. Other specialists in tuberculosis who spoke were Drs. Dunn and Minor of North Carolina. Dr. Minor spoke on the susceptibility of the Negro to tuberculosis, claiming that his personal experience with many Negroes, reaching over many years, seemed to prove that Negroes were more susceptible to the disease than whites. But when questioned carefully regarding this statement by Bishop Warner of the A. M. E. Zion church Dr. Minor said that lie felt that his statement had been proved and yet could not be proved from existing evidence. UNITED SOUTH AFRICA. Vivid Account of How South Africans May Break England's Power. A recent private letter from a prominent citizen of Pretoria, South Africa, to friends in the United States gives this clear and interesting account or the measures now taking for the formation of the new United States of South Africa: South Africa is again in the throes of a big political revolution. We are trying and, I believe, will succeed to unify the whole English part of South Africa, Cape Colony, Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal, to form a big federal or unified self governing state (under the British flag of necessity), the union parliament to be paramount, but the same as Canada, and each state or colony to have its state parliament under an administration as you have it in the States and necessarily a governor general to represent the king. This will make us a strong people and well able to look after our own interests. It is expected that General Botha will be the first premier of United South Africa, and the balance of power in the new parliament will die with the Africanda, or Boer, party. In the Cape Colony they will retain the black vote, as the colored population there have a qualified franchise, which it is at present difficult to take away from them, however much the other states are against it. In the other states they have no votes, and the union parliament may disenfranchise the Cape blacks by a vote of two-thirds majority afterward. Personally I am against the black vote, as in South Africa, when once that principle is accepted, we will have endless struggle, as they far outnumber the white population. The Negroes in your southern states are. I believe, a continuous anxiety and trouble. And here we have double and more of their number. One thing is certain: When once United South Africa is an established fact England will not be able to dictate to us or levy an unholy war on us, like the last time. That is a comfort anyway. Pretoria is to be the capital of South Africa and seat of government and Cape Town the seat of the legislature. This, although unwieldy, was necessary to pacify the Cape. The real power and capital will be Pretoria. The national convention is still sitting at Bloenfontain, the capital of the Orange Free State, to fix up minor details. When that is over the draft constitution will have to be submitted to the various colonial parliaments for final approval. Should that pass then we will be known as "the United States of South Africa," or, as they have it in the draft constitution, "United South Africa." With this, I believe, a tide of prosperity will set in for South Africa. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Twentieth Annual Session to Be Held at Cambridge, Md., July 19-21. The twentieth annual session of the Maryland grand lodge of Knights of Pythias will be held at Cambridge, Md., July 19, 20 and 21, at which time loyal Knights from all parts of the state will be in attendance. The Maryland lodges of the order were founded by the late William H. Watson of Baltimore. The order now has forty-two lodges and 3,000 members in Maryland. About fifteen years ago the Maryland jurisdiction, with a number of lodges in other states, became dissatisfied on the question of endowment, which resulted in the organization of the supreme lodge of the eastern and western hemispheres. The first day's session will be devoted to a parade by the uniform rank, under command of General George H. Carter. Welcoming services will be held at night. The second and third PAGE 10 days will be devoted to the business of the order and the election of officers. George A. Watty, who has been grand chancellor for the past two years, will be a candidate to succeed himself, and there will be several other candidates in the field. The order is in a flourishing condition throughout the state. It looks like smooth sailing for Grand Chancellor Watty. There are two lodges of the order in Cambridge, and they are making extensive preparations for the entertainment of the grand session. Church of Zealous Workers. Perhaps no church in northern New York is doing a more helpful and progressive work than the Bethany Baptist church at Syracuse. At the evening services a few Sundays ago the church was crowded beyond its seating capacity, and Rev. James L. Pinn, the pastor, preached a soul stirring sermon. After the sermon Dr. Pinn baptized one candidate and gave the hand of fellowship to two other new members. The church is increasing in membership very rapidly and has a large number of zealous workers. TIMELY ADVICE TO THE RACE. The Negro Must Learn to Be Rigidly Economical and Never Lose Hope. It was the good fortune of our people in Brooklyn, N. Y., recently to hear the Rev. Charles T. Walker, the noted pulpit orator and lecturer of Augusta, Ga., speak on "Some Factors of the Race Problem" at the Bridge Street A. M. E. church. The audience was large and listened attentively to what Dr. Walker said, which in part was as follows: "I believe it to be the duty of every man and woman to help fallen humanity. The working people are the bone and sinew of every country. The word gentleman does not occur in the Bible from beginning to end. Christ did not have one of them among his disciples; but, on the other hand, they were all industrious men. As a people we must continue to be industrious. We have got to learn to be rigidly economical. We spend too much money foolishly. We need more business enterprises. A few business men in the race will do us more good than all of the A. B., A. M., D. D. and LL. D. titles combined. We must produce something if we hope to touch the commercial world. The difference between the northern and southern Negro is that the latter has learned that business is the key to success, and he is bending all of his energies along business lines. It would pay you northern colored people to take a trip south if you want to see real life among colored people. Their banks, grocery stores, markets, dry goods stores, etc., would be an inspiration to you. Start up business for yourselves and employ your sons and daughters. In Georgia $25,000 per year is paid out to colored labor by colored people with colored people's money. This race has got to get up and get something for itself. Co-operation is an essential factor in racial life. God himself believes in co-operation. The Father co-operates with the Son and the Son with the Holy Ghost, and the three have given to the world life eternal. We must never lose heart, never lose faith, never lose hope. We must have faith in God and faith in the race. God has spent too much time on this race for it to fall. Believe in God, be intelligent, sober, honest, industrious and see to it that the race takes no step backward."

Last Sunday was a very significant day to the A. M. E. church. After having made some very beautiful and substantial repairs on the church, the pastor, Rev. J. B. Holmes, and his congregation planned to use Sunday as their reopening day. Rev. A. M. Ward of Denver was invited to preach at 3 p. m., and he came, bringing a large number of his congregation. The congregation enjoyed the earnest, spiritual sermon delivered by him and also the splendid music rendered by the choir. The entire service was impressive, and we feel greatly indebted to the good people of Denver, both for their presence and for their kindly response to our call for finances. The Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Phoenix, Ariz., delivered a powerful sermon in the evening. An appreciative congregation listened to his words of advice and encouragement. Special music was rendered by the choir and the evening service closed a very befitting celebration of the day. On Thursday evening a musical concert will be given at the A. M. E. church by Mrs. L. H. Peach, the popular soloist of Denver. It is hoped that a large audience will greet her. CENTRAL CHURCH NEWS. The mother and brother of Brother Chas.

Miss Morton is a teacher in the schools in Atchison and is her blind brother's support. Miss Burns and her guests did themselves honor. The crowd was composed of some of the most representative men and women of the younger set in Denver. The affair will always be a marked event for a source of pleasing reflection. R. M'GREW TICKLED. There was never any man in Denver tickled as much as was K. McGrew of 610 Logan avenue, when his wife suddenly walked in upon him Saturday afternoon. She came from St. Louis, his former home, and will remain indefinitely. Mr. McGrew is treating all the boys because of his happiness. MRS. BUFORD ENTERTAINS.

Phone Main 6123. 1023 19th Street PAGE 2 The appellate division had before it the order of Justice Dugro setting aside the verdict of the jury. Without comment on his opinions it affirmed his order, and again the matter was taken before it. A decision was handed down in which the court very distinctly announced that it does not indorse the opinions of the supreme court justice. This is what the appellate division had to say: "This is a motion for a reargument of an appeal to this court from an order of the trial term setting aside a verdict and ordering a new trial in an action for malicious prosecution. There is no ground for a reargument. This court upon mature deliberation and discussion affirmed the order appealed from by a vote of 3 to 2. The affirmance by this court without an opinion of an order of the trial court, made in the exercise of its discretion, setting aside the verdict of a jury is not to be taken as an approval in any degree of the expression of the trial court of its views in colloquy with counsel. All that is determined is that this court has declined to reverse an order made in the discretion of the trial term directing a new trial, upon which new trial all the issues are to be presented de novo to another jury. The motion is denied, with $10 costs." MORAL REFORM NEEDED. Street Corner Gangs Damning the Race—Dr. Tindley Suggests Remedy. The Beacon Light institute at Philadelphia has for its main object the civic and moral betterment of Afro-Americans. It is carried on by the Second Emancipation league, of which the Rev. C. A. Tindley is president. In certain sections of most large cities our people are very numerous by reason of high rents for better living quarters which the majority are unable to pay. And, again, there is an element of our people that seem determined to carouse and hang around the street corners. Dr. Tindley has wisely suggested that in such communities individual committees should be formed whose duty it should be to conduct crusades of persuasion among the objectionable element with the hope of reforming them in manners and morals. We would like to see such committees formed in all the large cities throughout the United States where such conditions exist. If this street corner element cannot be persuaded to keep off, then legal steps should be taken to make them do so. These street corner gangs are damning the race.—Dodson. Honor For George W. Mattocks. George W. Mattocks, who has ably conducted the Varick Christian Endeavor society of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church in Brooklyn, N. Y.. for ten successive years, declined a renomination at the annual election of officers recently held. During the ten years of Mr. Mattock's regime the society has kept abreast of the times. A testimonial of appreciation for his faithful services will be tendered Mr. Mattocks soon. Negroes Own Hospital. The new sanitarium and hospital which was recently opened for the reception of patients at New Orleans is one of the few institutions of its kind owned, operated and supported by our people in the United States. It is called the Negro Baptist sanitarium. Mayor Bohrman delivered an encouraging address on the opening day. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD IMPORTANCE OF NEGRO LABOR As Soldiers and Industrious Workmen the Negro Has Done His Part. E. A. Johnson, a New York lawyer, was the principal speaker at the recent Fourth of July celebration at the Carlton avenue branch of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian association. Counselor Johnson spoke on "The Relation of the Afro-American to the Nation." He reviewed the history of the race and the part it took in all of the wars down to the war of the rebellion. He then said: "Coming down the line we find the Negro actively and bravely engaged in the civil war. The victories achieved at Lexington, Petersburg and Gettysburg are all in part due to the valiant fighting of the black man. In 1620 twenty of us were brought over from Africa and landed at Jamestown, Va. Such acceptable workmen did we prove that they sent for more of us. "We began to work then, and we have been working ever since. It was my privilege in April to travel from New York to Goldsboro, N. C., traveling mainly through the cotton fields of the south, and I never saw a half dozen white men engaged in that line of work, but everywhere colored labor was in evidence. There is the salvation of the country. Cotton is king. This country was founded on worth and ideas, and the spirit of justice can only live by adhering to the principles upon which the country was founded. Countries, like individuals, must not only start right, but keep right. I believe in the ultimate triumph of truth. Although we are the victims of harsh and discouraging criticism by our friends all over the United States and particularly in the southland, I can see the handwriting on the wall. The kingdoms of prejudice must divide—must fall. In forty-five years we have decreased our illiteracy from 99 per cent to 45 per cent and have increased our taxable earnings from absolutely nothing to very nearly $800,000,000. The work of educating the youth of this race devolves wholly upon us. We cannot solve the problem by talk, but by work and common sense. What this country is today is largely due to the labor of the Negro. We are a part of this nation, we have helped to make it what it is, and we are going to help keep it up to the high standard it has attained." WILL MAKE VOTES COUNT. Kings County Colored Republican League Arming For Self Defense. The political pot is beginning to steep among Afro-Americans in Brooklyn, N. Y., and it is said that before many weeks more it will be boiling. The Colored Republican League of Kings County is authority for the statement that the man who captures the Negro vote next fall must take a decided stand in favor of appointing colored men to responsible positions on the basis of their numerical strength and fitness for the places on equal terms and in satisfactory numbers with other men. The league is also openly and bitterly opposed to Judge Dugro of New York and anybody that looks like him, for it says officially that the judge in his recent decision in the Griffin case insulted the whole race without cause. The league will call upon all voters who are in favor of a square deal and an equal share of patronage for actual work to stand together as one man and make their votes count for something.

The realignment of political parties and the revision of political creeds and policies are steadily going on. Leading northern politicians from the president down are making alliances with leading southern politicians, evidently for purposes of offense and defense. The white men of the north and of the south are growing closer to each other, and the former is growing away from the Negro, who has been his most faithful ally. It is now time for the Negro to begin to form alliances and to make terms and friendship with those who have always antagonized him because of blind adherence to and loyal support of those who are now endeavoring to unload him. If the Negro is wise he will quickly make terms with the best whites of the south—the class with whom the president of the United States is seeking to make some terms—in order that peace and harmony between the races in that section will be the rule rather than the exception. If Negroes and their leaders permit white men to make all the terms in the deals for political power and supremacy they will wake up some morning to find white men north and south united against them politically. The Negroes must save themselves now. Tomorrow will be too late. If they cannot take the hints which have already been given them to root for themselves they will deserve all that is coming to them. THE NEGRO IS ADVANCING. The Race In Georgia Owns Millions In Property Holdings. Whatever progress may or may not have been made by the Negro along intellectual lines, it is apparent from figures found in the latest volume of the studies of Atlanta university on the Negro problem that the colored race in Georgia at least has been advancing steadily by way of property holdings. According to these figures, Georgia Negroes in 1875 owned property to the assessed value of $5,393,885. In 1880 their holdings had increased to $5,764,293 and in 1885 to $8,153,390. In 1890 the Negroes of the state held property assessed at $12,322,003, and in 1895 this had increased to $12,941,230. In 1900 the property owned by Negroes was valued at $14,118,720, and in 1905 their holdings represented $20,616,468. Negro property owners in Georgia in 1907 were assessed $25,904,822. Obviously the Negro is advancing in the property line at least.—Manchester (N. H.) Union. Progressive Afro-Americans. In Jacksonville, Fla., there are fourteen Afro-American physicians, ten graduated pharmacists, eight drug stores, sixteen trained nurses, two dentists, two banks, two industrial insurance companies, two newspapers and six lawyers, and they are getting on splendidly and successfully. There are also 185 churches, ten public schools and three denominational schools, all in a flourishing condition. In spite of the many schools, there are hundreds of mean, impudent, worthless youths roaming the streets at will who never attend any kind of school except that which leads to crime, degradation and destruction.

In Oklahoma she will likely accept a position as teacher in one of the rural schools. First in a public way, Mrs. Gibson wishes to thank the ministers of the city who visited her husband when he was seriously ill and a stranger in the city and for the gift that was presented to her in the form of a small purse. Secondly, the friends of the various churches who visited him, comforting and praying with him. Thirdly, the untiring officers and members of the People's Presbyterian church who did all that loving hands could do to make it pleasant for him. These faithful friends stood by his bedside each night till the summons came. Their loying The Rev. H. A.

He had pastored successfully in Bowling Green, Ky.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Springfield, Mo., Greensboro, N. C., and Winston-Salem, N. C. The Presbyterian board of New York employed him as evangelist and his wife as singer. They traveled for three years, and during this time over fifteen hundred souls were led to Christ. In some cities over one hundred souls were converted in less than ten days. He was known wherever he went as a worthy, ideal Christian minister, loyal citizen, kind and loving husband and father. Letters of condolence are still being received by his wife from different parts of the Union. All we knew him loved him. During his life time there was a family quartette. Mrs. H. A. Gibson, soprano; Paul R.. aged 7, tenor; Harry B., aged 9, alto, and Rev. H. A. Gibson, bass. Many a large audience has been moved to tears by songs from this quartette. --- DENVER ITEMS AFRO-AMERICAN MINISTERS' UNION NOTES. The Rev. D. E. Overs, pastor of Zion Baptist church, led the devotions last Tuesday morning. Scott's Quarterly Conference September 12th. It appears that September will be a very busy month for all the preachers. The A. M. E. annual conference and the National Baptist convention will be held in this month. The usual reports of the work done on the previous Sunday were made. The people are keeping up the attendance well in spite of the uncomfortable weather. Campbell, Zion, Central Bethlehem reported large attendances all day. Scott's attendance was normal. No report came from Shorter's, People's Presbyterian and Ward Mission. The Rev. F. D. Douglas is reported as ill. The Rev. W. R. Davis has been secured to carry on the meeting until the Rev. Douglass has recovered sufficiently to resume his duties. The Rev. Williams, the energetic pastor, reports much good done by this revival. Eighteen has been added to Campbell, two to Central Baptist, one to Zion. A committee was appointed by the Union to draft resolutions or a plain statement of the gross discrimination that the fire and police board made in granting permission to the Church of God people to erect a tent on 24th of carrying on an open air meeting, and Arapahoe streets for the purpose and at the same time refusing to permit prominent colored ministers to erect a tent on 23rd and Larimer streets. An appeal will be made to the public through the weekly and daily press in behalf of future meetings. The Revs. H. Franklin Bray and veteran father in the ministry looked in upon the Union last Tuesday and spoke words of encouragement to the members. They were passing through our city, but will return next Monday in order to be at the Ministers' annual outing at the City Park. Do not forget the annual picnic of the City Union at the City Park. The missionaries of the various churches will be there to make it pleasant for the ministers and their wives. The bishop has been invited to speak on this occasion. The Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Phoenix, Arizona, president of the Colorado State Business Men's League, will be the guest of the Union on this occasion. Baskets will be prepared by the societies and there will be a grand old-time spread. The Rev. J. N. Wallace, assistant correspondent for the weekly and daily papers of the city, will leave next Tuesday evening for Independence, Kan., where he will be in attendance upon the Topeka District Conference, which convenes on the 28th instant.

It appears that September will be a very busy month for all the preachers. The A. M. E. annual conference and the National Baptist convention will be held in this month. The Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of Campbell's church, read a splendid paper on the "Gift of Tongues." The paper showed originality in thought and preparation. The Rev. Williams showed up the erroneous teaching that at one time thrived among the colored people of Denver. He quoted much scripture to back up his contention. The ministers discussed the paper and complimented the writer. The Rev. A. M. Ward reported that no discrimination was shown in the recent movement to discourage sunday funerals. Some of the colored undertaking establishments were not notified to be at the meeting representing the various organizations interested in the meeting because they had not been in business long enough. The Young Men's Christian Brotherhood will have their annual sermon preached at the Zion Baptist church Sunday, August 22nd. The Rev. A. M. Ward will deliver the sermon. At the meeting the directors hope to report $1,000 raised on the building fund. The ministers have been organized into a "Boosters' Club." There are several other clubs headed by prominent young men in all the churches. The Rev. W. C. Williams has announced that his last Quarterly Conference will be held the second Sunday in September and that the Rev. A. M. Ward will preach the sacramental sermon. The Rev. W. R. Davis will fill Scott's pulpit during the absence of the pastor at the District Conference. The best and biggest thing ever given by this order and rivaling the best ever given by anybody is the picnic and outing of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten at Bloomfield Park Saturday, August 7.

CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 18, 19 and 20, 1909—Fine Program—Side Trip to Mammoth Cave The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Louisville, in "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the league at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this league has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the league's constantly increasing membership. The league welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the local committee for the benefit of delegates. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a rare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the league and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the state of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that state since the emancipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia! printed copies will soon be available. Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville city council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world. STATE MEETING To the Members of the Colorado State Negro Business League and Negroes Throughout Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona Who Are Interested in the Material, Moral and Mental Uplift of the Race. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Greeting:—The time for holding the fifth annual session of the Colorado State Negro Business League is fixed for July 27-28 and the place changed from Boulder to Denver. Let all the members of the league govern themselves accordingly and be present at the roll call at 10 a.m. on the 27th. There will be much very important business to be attended to at this session, business that will require the best brain and thought of the entire membership. The Negro Townsite company, which was launched by the league at our last session, is now a living reality and a full report will be made at this session. Much remains to be done and great reward awaits those who have a part in the doing. Arizona has had a great commercial awakening and good reports will be presented at our meeting. I leave here on the 19th for a tour in the interest of our league and will speak in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, arriving at Denver in time for the opening session.

PHONE MAIN 7905. To the Editor of The Statesman: Dear Sir—I noticed an article in your paper on the date of the 17th inst. that was headed, "Help Our Own." I read the article over and then I thought it over, and I believe that it may do some good in one direction any way. The writer made the attempt to show to the two local organizations their short sightedness and also to point out their short comings without any knowledge of the truthfulness of some of the assertions contained in the article. I agree with the writer that neither of these organizations have done all that they might have done. And why? This writer failed to say, or else they don't know. We all know that Christ died to save the world, but he can't save a single man against his will to be saved. It is just as impossible for either of these clubs to be of any service to these young men named or to any other unless they show a willingness on their part to be helped or worthy of whatever help that these clubs might render. Without this it is just like casting your pearls before swine. These young men that are named in the article, I wish to ask the writer, if they possess any rare musical ability? This I will answer in the affirmative. Then I wish to know to what clubs are they members of? Or to what church cnoir does the honor belong of having these young men identified and receiving the service of their talents? Before what kind of people are they continually pouring forth the sweet strains of music out of the richness of their young souls with all the vigor and youthfulness of their young lives? (Remember that wherever a man sow his grain, that is where he go to reap the harvest, and the harvest will be just what they have sown). Is it in the service of worship to the God who gave it, and to society as a stimulus to the younger ones to follow on to heights above? Os is it before the so-called good time fellows who can see nothing in the future only something that appeals to his peculiar feeling for a good time, whatever that might be? These and many other questions would furnish good and wholesome food for thought along this line. But on the other side of the picture I see where the various clubs, societies, etc., can be of great help to the individual who will become identified with it, give his help and assistance toward perfecting it in order that he may receive his reward when the time is at hand. Let us be willing to labor in seed time in order that we share in the harvest, for no man receives his reward until after the labor. Join the I. G. A. or the Choral Club, whatever your calling may be; help them to boost the other fellow and you will surely reap if you faint not. Yours truly, FRIEND. SERVANT OF GOD, WELL DONE! Monday evening there departed this life one of the most valiant ministers PAGE. 8. FRIEND. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. of the gospel in the whole Western country, in the person of Rev. J. H. Hubbard, one of the oldest and best known of the minsters of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Some seven weeks ago he returned to the city to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Esther Morris, after having spent a while in California with his other children in a vain hope to improve his health. From that time he has constantly failed, and at last the Angel of Death brought an end to his sufferings in the close of the 71st year of his life. His last days were spent as becomes a Christian warrior in brightening up the old armor that had done him such good and faithful service for a life time. Prayer was his constant solace and though in this life, yet his eyes were fixed on his Heavenly home toward which he had journeyed long. The funeral services were held at Shorter church and were attended by the entire clergy of the city, they serving as pall bearers also. Presiding Elder Owens, a life-long friend, preached the sermon. The service was most touching. The children present were Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Williamson of Los Angeles. These by the ties of blood were attached to him, but there were hundreds of sorrowing ones among whom as shepherd of the flock he had gone in and out for years, comforting in hours of sorrow, exhorting to the higher life in their lighter moments, a friend in sickness, uniting in marriage. His remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery by Undertaker Gilmore. While grieving over his loss, yet it is rather to rejoice we should tend, for he fought the good fight, he had finished his course and could only attain the full triumph of faith through the chill waters of death. He leaves to the family and friends who are bereaved, and to the cause of the church the priceless heritage of a life spent in righteousness. For seven years just preceding his death up until his bodily powers would not permit him to serve longer, he was presiding elder of this district. In years before that he had served every principal churc hin the conference. His more than forty years in the ministry were largely spent in the Colorado conference, and his services for it have been recognized by repeated elections to conference offices. He was one of its most efficient secretaries. So that while we grieve, yet we rejoice that he has lived and that he has died only after he has contributed of the best he had. His life work completed, he has gone to give his accounting, Servant of God, well done!

Adults, $1.25; children, 60c Thursday Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons paid $2,000 and interest on the property they are buying at 22nd and Arapahoe streets. It was purchased a year ago at a cost of $7,000, and a first payment of $3,700 was made, leaving a mortgage indebtedness of $3,300. In one year's time they have paid on the principal $2,700, leaving only $00 mortgage against it at this time. This wonderful showing is in some measure due to the encouragement which they have received from the public. The substantial encouragement of liberal patronage of the lodge entertainments has aided in the quick clearing off of the debt. The picnic last week was the largest ever given in the city, 1,034 persons actually passing through the gates. A profit of nearly $300 was made on it. There have been plans for a building made by a colored architect which are excellent in all respects, and it may be that when the building is completed, it will represent Negro brain in all particulars. Mrs. Hettie Smith of Kansas City is the guest of Mrs. Blanche T. Twyan for the summer.

Lend a helping hand and help us to help you musically. An all day picnic. That's all. Word has come from Portlanu of the marriage of Miss Lola Graham, formerly of this city, to Mr. Chandler. Mrs. W. H. Givens has just returned from a visit to Salt Lake, Ogden, Colorado Springs and other points west. She spent a joyous two weeks and returns much refreshed. GRAND LODGE The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias will meet next week in Walsenburg. Representatives from this jurisdiction are preparing to go and many cities will be represented. The Grand Chancellor, Dr. Westbrook, has been in conference with his grand officers and a most interesting meeting with much profit to the order is expected. The citizens of Walsenburg will strive to make the welcome for the visitors so thorough and so large that their little city will loom large in the Pythian eye. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. SCOTT'S NOTES. The services last Sunday were very interesting. The pastor preached about "The Great Merchant." Revelation 3:18. The class and prayer meetings continue to grow in interest and attendance. Class No. 2 carried off the banner last Wednesday evening. Mr. W. S. Evans is the leader. Rev. J. N. Wallace will leave for the District Conference Tuesday night. He is on the program to deliver the welcome address in answer to the honorable mayor of Independence, Kan. Mr. F. D. McPherson, the first vicepresident of the Epworth League, will render a program for his department next Sunday evening. The League gives a free social August 3rd. Friends and strangers are cordially invited. The pastor will lecture, "Top, Bottom or Which?" on this occasion. Mrs. W. A. Bobo will read a paper on "The Negro in the Methodist Episcopal Church" at the District Conference next week. This paper will be printed so as to give the people an idea as to the status of the Negro in the Methodist Episcopal church. Don't forget the Sunday school outing at Littleton, that beautiful picnic spot, on August 5th. Mr. J. D. Rice is making large preparations to give the little folks a genuine good time on this occasion. Members of the other Sunday schools who desire to take in this picnic are invited to attend. Plenty of sport for the youngsters. The Ladies' Aid was entertained last Thursday by Mrs. Edna Collier and Mrs. Anna Rice. The Ladies' Aid voted to meet twice a month. The president, Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale, is preparing to give another fair. The last one proved to be a great success beyond all expectations. This Society is paying the current expenses of the church. The drama which was presented by the choir Tuesday was a success. There is some real dramatical talent in our city. The audience was enthusiastic from the beginning to the end and showed real interest in the plot. The following young people covered themselves with glory Misses Lella Rice, Carrie Carr, Jennive Marks, Messrs. Roy Brown, J. D. Rice. The choir will repeat this interesting drama at one of the other churches in the near future. The Woman's Home Missionary Society will turn out with the other missionary societies of the city next Monday at the annual outing of the ministers of the city. Mrs. Anna McPherson is the president of this new society. Mrs. G. W. Anderson has begun to practice the young people for a concert which will be given at Scott's. This effort will be given to help raise money for the annual rally which takes place August 29th. The Official Board has changed the date of the rally from September 5th to the last Sunday in August. At this time the clubs are requested to report $800 to apply on their mortgage. The clubs have begun active work. Mrs. Benj. Givens is ill. Mrs. J. N.
