FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 9 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY AMERICAN NEGRO WORLD CONGRESS Movement Started by Major Wright Has For Its Object the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Freedom of the Race In the United States. There has been much talk within the past few weeks on the subject of the celebration of the semicentennial of the emancipation of the Negro race in 1913. Many of the Negro leaders have expressed themselves concerning the matter. The movement for a national Negro semicentennial was really launched by the Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial association under the presidency of Major R. R. Wright in 1906. The state fair, though held under the most adverse circumstances, was a success. Major Wright invited Professor Booker T. Washington to deliver the opening address. The second fair was a success, and now Major Wright is in the midst of preparation for his greatest Georgia state fair. In the meantime he has spent a portion of the summer advocating his project for a great national exposition under the title American Emancipation exposition. Its scope is worldwide and contemplates such an assembly and union of those of African descent in a world congress at the proposed semicentennial as will make the world sit up and take notice. He believes that there can be raised for the project a million dollars by Afro-Americans. Congress will also be asked to make a liberal appropriation to the fund. The white people of the south will approve and aid the movement. Major Wright has received letters from the governor and senators of his state and the most flattering indorsements of all the leading white newspapers. The Atlanta Constitution, one of the most influential newspapers in the south, comments very favorably upon the project as follows: "Showing the world what the Negro has done along material lines in the fifty years elapsing since emancipation is the central idea of a national demonstrative exposition advanced by R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State College For Negroes at Savannah. The date proposed is the ending of the half century period in September, 1913. "Associated for many years with the advancement of practical education for the Negro in Georgia and aligning himself consistently with the conservative and constructive elements of his race. Professor Wright has deservedly won the confidence of his white neighbors and his own people not only in Georgia, but in a decisive measure of the same classes throughout the country. "He has recently returned from a 5,000 mile tour of America, and among whites and Negroes he finds the sentiment for the projected exposition virtually unanimous. "There can be no question that the materialization of his idea would be of great practical value not only to the Negro himself, but as well in shedding light on the future industrial possibilities open to the race as a unit. "The Constitution believes an exposition of this scope and practicability would be a final and sufficient answer to the note of pessimism regarding the Negro that has here and there obtruded among theorists or the more myopic of the Negro's critics. "The race has never adequately taken stock of its progress, never calmly and categorically listed its assets and liabilities rising out of the momentous half century that has intervened since the proclamation of emancipation set before it the task of working out its own destiny. "Only a few penetrating and studious white southerners and fewer still of the Negroes themselves know what the Negro in the mass has achieved and is achieving. Heretofore we have judged from isolated and sometimes discouraging instances in the absence of a substantial basis of comparison. "That is exactly what an exposition of this description would provide. It would supply a vital ondriving inspiration to the race itself, and it would greatly clarify the misgiving, the misunderstanding, that here and there militate against continuously amicable relations between the races." A number of Afro-American sporting men of Memphis, Tenn., have organized a boxing club there for the purpose of pulling off boxing shows every week. RECOGNITION NOW WORLD WIDE From Obscurity To World Fame. Youth Whose Ambition Was Set on Fire by Contact With Landscape Artist In Fairmount Park, In Philadelphia. Decided on His Profession and Rose to Greatness. Henry O. Tanner, the noted AfroAmerican artist, who studied under Professor Thomas Elkins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts at Philadelphia and who took the Lippincott prize in 1900, is without doubt the only member of our race who has gained real distinction as a painter. A glimpse at his early struggles is interesting. Mr. Tanner says: "I was walking out with my father one fine afternoon in Fairmount park, Philadelphia, where we then resided, when I saw for the first time a real, live artist at work. "The subject the artist had chosen was a middle distance hillside with a magnificent elm in bold relief. Showing my lack of comprehension of what the artist was trying to do, I asked my father: 'Why does he not have a spyglass so that he can see that big tree more distinctly? Why does he get so far away? It was this simple event that, as it were, set me on fire. Like many children, I had drawn upon my slate to the loss of my lessons or all over the fences to the detriment of the landscape, but never had it crossed my mind that I should be an artist, nor had I ever wished to be. But after seeing this artist at work for an hour it was decided on the spot, by me at least, that I would be one, and I assure you it was no ordinary one I had in mind. "The securing of colors and brushes was not so simple a matter. They had to be bought. My mother gave me 15 cents, with which I secured from a common paintshop some dry colors and a couple of scraggy brushes. Then I was out immediately for a sketch. I went straight to the spot where I had seen the artist of the day before. Don't you suppose a boy, trying to hold a canvas between his knees and mix dry colors on a pasteboard palette, might be liable to get things mixed? Well, I did. Whether I got the most of the paint upon the canvas, upon myself or upon the ground it would be hard to tell. But that I was happy, supremely so, there was no doubt. Coming home that night, I examined that sketch from all points of view, upside down and downside up, decidedly admiring and well content with my first effort. There was one little disconcerting fact, however—it seemed best upside down! "After school I would often go down on Chestnut street to see the pictures in Earle's galleries or in the window of Bailey's jewelry store. How well I remember 'A Foggy Morning,' by Cowell, in whose studio I afterward worked, or 'A Morning at Long Beach,' by Senat; how much better the numerous 'Storm at Sea,' by Hamilton, and the still more numerous 'Breezy Day Off Dieppe,' by Briscoe; how, after drinking my full of these art wonders, I would hurry home and paint what I had seen, and what fun it was! "A picture of mine had been sold in Philadelphia at an auction sale for $250. True, I had received but $15, but the incident had given me hope and made me more than ever dissatisfied with the four or five dollars a week which I was making." Miss Bradford Takes Up Dentistry. We are always pleased to note the progress of our young women. Many of them have had a hard struggle to get an education and a second hard time to get suitable occupation in keeping with their education and aspirations. The success of Miss Gertrude E. Curtiss of Bradford, Pa. should be an inspiration to other young women. Miss Curtiss is said to be the first Afro-American girl to practice dentistry in the northern or eastern states.

BRAVE NEGRO EXPLORERS. Henson's Recent Feat Continuation of Long Line of Pioneers. By N.R. DODSON. cor nS Neng A eh Sone hare NA brat diene caste tert a ican sistant, is only the latest of a long line of Negrves who must be creditea by impartial history in the exploration and discovery of America. On our last really important expedition, that of Fremont into the west in 1845, a free young Negro accompanied the expedi- tion and, according to the Georgia commander himself, “performed _ his duty manfully throughout.” Captain Clark, of the Lewis and Clark ex- Pedition to Oregou in 1805 and 1806, had a fearless and resourceful Negro with him after whom they named York's Dry river, now Custer's creek, in the Yellowstone. Danie! Boone had some Negroes with him on his expedition and on his set- tlement of Kentucky in 1774. The la- mented Dean Shaler in his “History of Kentucky” says, “A Negro servant wis killed; Captain Wetty, one of the lead- ers of the party, was killed, and a young man, Felix Walker, was wound- ed in the first engagement between whites and Indians on Kentucky soil.” Estevan, if not the only, the greatest Negro named in American discovery, discovered Civola, the land of the Zuvi Indians, now New Mexico, in 1539. Many histories credit Cabeza de Vaca with the discovery, which both Cortes and Coronado had vainly sought and in which the Negro pioneer lost his life, but Bandelier has .@»wn quite conclusively that De Vaca never saw New Mexico and that he was absent from the country at the time. Three hundred Negroes accompanied Cortes in 1522 on his celebrated expedi- tions in Central and South America, according to George Parker Winship. The same author tells of the Negroes who accompanied Coronado on his im- portant and difficult expedition to Kan- sas. A Negro slave on Coronado’s ex- pedition of 1540 was the only man in the country whom Hernando de Alar- con could induce to carry a message across the hostile Indian country to Coronado in New Mexico in 10. Captain Arrelano, who discovered the ocean route across the Pacific to Amer- ica in 1564-6, bud his vessel “steered by a mulatto pilot.” according to Pro- fessor Chamberlain in the American Anthropologist. Similarly we might continue at great length narrating the exploits of the Ne- gro pioneers with Balboa in the discov- ery of the Pacific in 1513, with Her- nandez in Peru in 1530, in the found- ing of the first city in the United States, St. Augustine, Fla., in 1565, and with Vasquez de Ayllon in his explora- tion and settlement of the Virginia coast in 1528. Hodge, editor of the American Anthropologist, says in the new series (volume 4, page 217, 1902), “The Negro race took a prominent part in the discovery and colonization of the new world.” Matthew Henson with Peary at the pole likewise has continued that part and rendered mem- orable service.

Howard University Has Won Title to High Rank In the Educational World. Students Sustain Her Honor on Field and In Forum. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Forty-two years have rolled by since the chartering of Howard university at Washington. Its beginning was humble and unpretentious. Today it ranks high in the educational world. Because of the fact that it is largely supported and maintained by the government of the United States it has a national significance to Afro-Americans. The last session of congress added $99,000 to its annual appropriation for the university and appropriated $90,000 for a new building for the department of science. There is also in course of construction a $50,000 library, the gift of Andrew Carnegie. Thirty-five states were represented by students during the session of 1908-9, which is an evidence of the national scope of the school. There were also 112 students from nine for- HOWARD UNIVERSITY. eign countries. Here native Africans, East Indians, South Americans, West Indians and students of other nationalities come in quest of knowledge. They learn to love "Old Howard" with as much ardor as do the native American students. All fight for her honor on field and in forum. He who thinks that Howard is not a real university in every sense of the word should be better informed. He should have his attention called to the fact that there are ninety-seven members of the university faculty, that there are seven schools offering twenty-one different courses, that its professors are men of profound learning, that it is well equipped in buildings and with funds and that it is well supplied with an excellent student body to carry on the work of a real university. Besides increasing the number of her schools, she has increased the efficiency of her scholarship, which today compares favorably with that of any of the big schools of the east. Glancing at the student life, we find such organizations as the vested choir, the Young Men's Glee club, the orchestra and the brass band taking the lead in the musical side of university life. Student societies are the Alpha Phi Literary, the Kappa Sigma Debating club, the Young Ladies' Century club, the Pestalozzi-Froebel society, the Theological Literary society, the Eureka Literary, the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Women's Christian association. President Thirkield, whose zeal and industry have done so much to bring THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. about the new era of progress, believes in the encouragement of these student organizations and also in the development of college sports and games. Advance In Howard University. This year marks a great advance in Howard university. The foundation of the new $50,000 library is in, and the construction of the building will be continued as rapidly as practicable, so that, if possible, it may be ready for occupancy early this fall. It is the gift of Mr. Carnegie and is 45 by 99 feet, constructed of red brick, trimmed with stone and terra cotta. It will be a beautiful building, well equipped with modern appliances. The new Science hall, which is to cost $90,000, will also be completed soon. It is 60 by 125 feet, with three stories and a high basement, mostly above ground. It will have modern conveniences and first class equipment in all its laboratories and lecture rooms. There have been added a new professor of physics and instructor in biology, an expert cataloguer and another worker in the library. This gives in the force of instruction two men in chemistry, two in physics and two in biology. In 1908 two specialists were added to the faculty of the Teachers' college. This department has a great future. Though it has a growing attendance, it cannot prepare advanced teachers rapidly enough to meet the demand for them in the high schools, normal schools, industrial departments and colleges of the country. The College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences is devoted to higher academic and liberal studies. The standard in extent and variety of courses is fully abreast of the standard of American colleges. There are courses in English, mathematics, astronomy, Greek, Latin, history, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, French, German, psychology, philosophy, pedagogy, commercial law, international law and social science. Students of the College of Arts and Sciences share in the advantages offered by the professional departments of the university. Languages, history, science and psychology may be pursued as a basis of professional work in theology, law, medicine and teaching. Electives have been so arranged that students may hope to anticipate one year's work in the professional schools of the university. The new Science building, with its superior modern equipment and the provision for practical instruction and work in applied sociology, adds new impetus to the college and brings its practical courses up to the requirements of up to date college work. Professor Kelly Miller, who is widely known as a mathematician, sociologist, lecturer, author and educator, is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Teachers' College. Professor Lewis B. Moore, Ph. D., is dean of the Teachers' college, which was established as a department of pedagogy in May, 1890. The aim is to supply a very definite demand for advanced professional training for teachers and a more serious study of educational problems. Its specific work is the training of teachers for kindergartens, elementary high and normal schools and colleges There are five courses offered in this department: The four year college course for the training of teachers of high schools normal schools and colleges.

The course is also recommended for those who desire to enter the civil service examinations. Commercial law, government, industrial history of the United States, commercial geography, political economy, typewriting, stenography and bookkeeping are among some of the courses offered. UPSET FORCE OF ARGUMENT. Undeniable Truth of Blacksliding Youth's Assertion Somewhat Staggered Teacher. When the kid went to Sunday school at a time of year when there were no presents being given away and told the teacher he wanted to join the class she felt highly elated. This particular teacher had often noticed the kid while on her way to the school, and had so often urged him to abandon his evil habits of playing marbles on Sunday, swearing, chewing tobacco, smoking, and like pleasures, and reform by joining the Sunday school. The kid's reform, however, seemed too acquiescent to be lasting, but for some time the teacher saw nothing out of the way in his conduct. Apparently all the habits of which she had complained had been cast aside, and he has become an exemplary youth. That the casting aside of evil doings was not actual, though, was shown when she paid an unexpected weekday visit to him. She found him smoking a cigarette. "Oh, I am so sorry," she said. "How do you ever expect to go to heaven if you insist on smoking?" "What's that got to do with it?" he questioned. "Why, nothing unclean—and your breath is unclean—can enter the gates of heaven." "Oh," he replied; "I ain't goin' to let that trouble me. You see, when I die I'm going to leave my breath behind!"—New York Times. Society Item. "The vacation season is now on."

Young Writer Calls Attention to New Field For Development. By Miss RUBY K. BOOKER. The Afro-Americans have acquired extensive knowledge as composers and arrangers of music, as has been successfully proved in the works of Samuel Coleridge Taylor in the higher art and Cole and Johnson in the ragtime world. But there is still another line of work open to our young men and women who have in them the desire to live the life of service and to help their fellows along the way. Education needs new, strong ideas that result from an overpowering desire to know about some particular thing. Piano tuning as an art is the new field for the use of one's talent. The Negro has also proved himself a successful entertainer, but now there is an opportunity to perfect himself in piano tuning, to look after the mechanical parts of a piano. Voicing or toning the piano to produce tone shadings demands just as much intelligence and skill as it does to produce a perfect tone from the voice. In order to produce the correct tones one A. E. MISS RUBY K. BOOKER. must be familiar with the origin, growth and mechanism of the wonderful instrument the piano. After the selection and seasoning of the various kinds of woods the wood is sawed into widths and glued together in order to withstand the influence of atmospheric changes, to obtain the best tonal results and to add to the strength. The spruce pine used in the sounding board is the subject of most careful selection. The highly sensitive convex wooden surface may be considered among the delicate features of piano manufacture. The sound production is caused by string vibration. The laying out of the scale, the action or striking mechanism, the carefully balanced key, the felt covered hammers and dampers and many other delicately adjusted parts include numerous perfected contrivances. The sounding board and plate are attached to the framework; the wires are properly strung and tuned in a preliminary manner; the keyboard and action are then set in and adjusted; then the final tuning of the strings are gone over by experts. Then comes the opportunity for professional tuners, skilled regulators and repairers. 2 1003 15th St., Denver, COLO. Cutlery, Toilet Preparations, Manicure Articles, Perfumes, Eta.

No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed at between the tire and the road thus overcoming all sockets. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as presented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased that when you want a bicycle you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer. COASTER-BRAKES, built-up-wheels, saddles, pedals, parts and repairs, everything in the bicycle line are sold by us at half the us prices charged by dealers and repair men.

To Demonstrate Ability of Negroes to Originate Own Secrets. "Afro-American Fraternities" is the title of a book which is soon to be published by the Roebucks. The publication will reveal some startling facts, which will no doubt create a sensation in Afro-American secret and benevolent societies. In it will be told why the Benevolent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks does not have to contend with white men about the right to use its name, signs, regalias, grips, passwords and emblems. Why was the order established? To demonstrate to white men that Negroes are and can be original and are not wholly dependent upon them for names and rituals for their secret orders. What is the significance of the name Roebuck, and why is it used? It signifies gentleness, kindness and affection. It is used because the Roebuck is an African animal frequently alluded to in Scriptures and because it typifies the work of the Order of Roebucks, which is based on love to God and fellow man and charity one toward another. WELL ORGANIZED FORCES. Rally Day at Concord Marked by Enthusiasm and Liberal Giving. The Concord Baptist Sunday school of Brooklyn observes the last Sunday in September as "rally day" for the purpose of getting the teachers and scholars together after the vacation season for the fall and winter work of the school. It is not hard, however, to rally the forces, as the school is thoroughly graded and well equipped with the best methods and systems of the most advanced Sunday schools. The exercises this year were interesting, and there was much enthusiasm among the officers, teachers and scholars. In the absence of Superintendent N. B. Dodson, Assistant Superintendent W. E.

The spirit of progress among the younger generation of Afro-Americans is rapidly crystallizing itself into a large number of the well educated among them to specialize along certain lines of literary work and in business. This desire is not confined to any one section of the country, but is widely diversified. A broader vision of the opportunities of the future by which they may make the best possible use of their literary education and special training along other lines of industry is causing them to bestir themselves. A young woman who has had several years of experience as a public school teacher in Brooklyn, N. Y., and who now resides at 62 Dixwell avenue, New Haven, Conn., is Mrs. Sara Lee Fleming, who is specializing as a dramatic reader. She is a graduate of the girls' high school in Brooklyn and is the possessor of a refined voice of commanding qualities. Mrs. Fleming has made a careful study of Dunbar's poems and the characterization of children's verses and popular songs. [Name not visible] MRS. SARA LEE FLEMING. She is well known in the north and east, and her services are in large demand by literary and musical societies as well as by churches and social organizations. While visiting in Summit, N. J., the past summer Mrs. Fleming gave a recital at the fashionable Beechwood hotel, through the influence of Miss V. A. Johnson, to something like 200 guests. Her program consisted of selections from Dunbar's poems, which were most dramatically rendered and which proved Mrs. Fleming to be an accomplished elocutionist. Her audience was very appreciative, and she was warmly urged to repeat the recital. The head waiter, Mr. Fred Logan, has booked her for an early appearance. Much favorable comment was aroused by her unaffected manner, charming voice, remarkable memory and artistic rendering of the southern dialect. Mrs. Fleming was assisted by the Beechwood quartet. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD under the leadership of Mr. Ernest J Robinson of Lincoln university, Pa. and Mrs. Carrie Spruill Harrison of the Boston Conservatory of Music who delighted the audience with their songs and music. Mrs. Fleming also gave a recital at the Fountain Baptist church of Summit before a large audience of her own people. JOHNSON TO CLEAN 'EM UP. Champion Pugilist to Take on Several Before He Meets Jeffries. Evidently Jack Johnson, the world's champion pugilist, intends to make a grand cleanup of the heavyweights before he meets Jim Jeffries. Besides being matched to meet Stanley Ketchel in October, the big fellow has agreed to take on Al Kaufman, the California Hercules, in a ten round bout before one of the clubs in San Francisco Sept. 9. Johnson has announced that he will give "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien a return engagement. Jim Barry, the Chicago slugger, who has been hurling challenges right and left, may also be taken on by the champion the latter part of September. Johnson's apparent willingness to fight Kaufman before he meets Ketchel shows that he has little respect for Billy Delaney's big heavyweight. If the bout comes off with both men in superb condition it should result in a good battle, with the chances of victory in favor of Johnson. While Kaufman has not set the pugilistic world afire with his performances in the ring, he has shown improvement in every battle in which he has engaged in the last year or two. True, it took him thirty-nine rounds to dispose of Jim Barry of Chicago in California recently, and later he failed to stop Tony Ross in ten rounds in New York, but his manager, Billy Delaney, says that it was at his request that Al permitted these fellows to stay so long. The clever manager also states that the experience his protege gained in these two battles will greatly aid him in his contest with Johnson. As an amateur Kaufman rejoiced under the sobriquet of "One Round Kaufman." having knocked out many of his opponents in the first round. While Kaufman is as big as Jeffries and is clever, Johnson should defeat him. The latter can hit harder and is far more clever than his opponent. Noted Educator and Odd Fellow Dies. In the recent death of J. McHenry Jones, who was the able and self sacrificing president of the West Virginia Colored Industrial institute, the race has lost one of its most brilliant educators. Besides his work for the school, Mr. Jones was an enthusiastic worker for the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was one of the past grand masters. He was widely known throughout the United States. Denominational Lines Brushed Aside. The Bridge Street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, has joined hands with the Concord Baptist church in arranging for a public memorial service to be held in honor of the late Dr. William Thomas Dixon, who was for forty-six years the honored and beloved pastor of the latter church. The service will be held in the Baptist temple, Brooklyn, Oct. 28, in the evening. The Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington will deliver the eulogy. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga.; Dr. W. A.

This change has resulted from the improvement in his business and will be much to the advantage of his customers. Then, too, the change gives him a better funeral chapel than before. He has made several changes in the store building whereby he has a private office as well as reception room to say nothing of excellent mortuary equipment. Curtis M. Harris. From this time on Mr. Lawhorn will have associated with him as funeral director, Curtis M. Harris, one of the best known young men of the city. He has had exceptional opportunities of knowing what constitutes service in this regard. The removal has also caused a change of telephone which now is Main 6243. THEATER AND TAXICAB PARTY. Everett Gaines entertained a few of his friends Thursday evening at a theater party at the Tabor Opera House. After the play they took a taxicab to the Leader Cafe, where dinner was served.

Last night he again entertained the party, this time at his handsome residence on Humboldt street. The place is one of the neatest and most attractive in the city and is exciting much comment. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Miss Annie M. Cox and Miss Lelia Rice presided at the organ and piano simultaneously. They made good music and we thought that we had a pipe organ. We are proud of our choir because of the splendid service that they are giving the church. The Capitol Hill M. E. church invited the pastor last Sunday to address them on the occasion of their missionary meeting. Dr. Frost Craft and his members were profuse in thanking the pastor for this address and promised to help Scott's church in its struggle in obtaining a foothold in this stronghold of the West. The third Sunday of this month will be Official Board Day. Every member is requested to give the small amount of fifty cents to help on an urgent obligation. Mr. C. J. Collier will be the master of ceremonies. The Rev. J. J. Cabbell, district superintendent, has announced through the columns of the Southwestern Christian Advocate that he would hold our quarterly conference November 20-21. This is the third quarter and we must begin now to plan to make it the best of previous quarters. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McPherson presented the church with a beautiful communion set recently. They are individual glasses which will insure and guard against the spread or inception of any contagious malady. The Quarterly Conference gave them a rising vote of thanks for their generosity. There are some other things needed. Who will follow this very commendable example? Class No. 3 took the banner last Wednesday evening, having raised the highest amount of class dues. Mrs. W. A. Bobo is the leader. It is thought that the classes might be worked up to the interest to pay the pastor's salary from the class dues and let the Sunday collections go for other necessities of the church. The Ladies' Aid society was entertained by the pastor and his wife last Thursday. The ladies have pledged themselves to raise enough money to put in some beautiful new chandeliers. The fair which will be given Thanksgiving day will go for this effort. Plans have been perfected for the December rally. The clubs have been reorganized and there appears a very few changes. When the church raises three hundred dollars to pay on the mortgage, active work will commence on the renovation of the church edifice and parsonage. Bishop Warren will assist the trustees in getting some firm to take up the $1,500 balance. WHO HAS THIS INFORMATION? Wanted—The whereabouts of Homer Rhone, formerly of Waller county, Texas.

Much interest was shown in the case where the girl was bound out in service and sold with a boarding house as s0 much chattels right here in Denver. Mr. Wiley called the Alliance's at- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. tention to the matter, and it is hoped that some of the women’s clubs will appear before the grand jury with Mr. Wiley and ask an investigation of that case. With our rights being taken from us in public places and some of our own peonized, don’t you think we ought to bestir ourselves? The election resulted as follows: President, S, F. Shorts; vice-presi- dent, Henry Banks; secretary, Miss Geraldine Troutman; assistant, Mrs. Henry Banks; treasurer, Mr. Hill. Board of directors for the next six months are: Dr. W, A. Jones, W. S.

Oates; current events and discussion. Everybody is invited to come out. In the near future there will be given an entertainment for the bene fit of our ciyil rights fund. These cases must be taken to the supreme court of Colorado for a decision as al- ready 14 years has elapsed since the statutes were made laws and not a single case has gone up for a de- cision upon the merits of the issues involved.

Townsend, the able colored lawyer of this city, will move to Den- yer the first of October and open up a law office there. Townsend {s an eloquent platform speaker and well and favorably known as a lawyer and politicilan—Bessemer Indicator. Yes, and no class of people regret Jodge Townsend's going more than the colored people and the whites who know bim. Eight years ago Mr. Townsend came to Pueblo with a reputation then as a race man und & good lawyer. He has sustained his reputation. He has proved that he is not only a good lawyer, but that he is a scholar, a writer and an orator of great force. Mr. Townsend Is the only colored lawyer Pueblo has ever had and it is certainly a calamity to the colored citizens to have such an able and leading man to leave the community. But Judge Townsend goes to Denver, perhaps a better neld with more opportunities than the present one. The Times joins the citizens in expressing regrets at Mr. Townsend's going away and we wish him abundant success for he deserves it. Pueblo’s loss {8 Denver's gain for Mr. Townsend has been useful in so- ciety and will honor any community in which he lves—Pueblo Times. The first colored law firm In the far West has been formed by Attor- neys Geo. G. Ross and W. B, Town- send, formerly of Pueblo, who will have thelr offices at 209 Kittredge building. Mr. Ross, a graduate of Howard University Law School, has been practicing in Denver since Octo- ber Ist, 1905, while Lawyer Town- send, formerly of Kansas, has been practicing law in Pueblo for eight years. He is well known in Kansas and Colorado, especially as a political orator and well trained lawyer, The Statesman hopes the brightest suc- cess for the new law firm. There can be nothing that can beat a combina- tion and co-operation.

Many Sided Life Of Dr. Lowery Born of Free Parents, He Has Worked His Way to the Front and Achieved Success as a Student, Preacher. Business Man, Author and Newspaper Correspondent. By GEORGE F. KING. The Rev. Irving E. Lowery, A. M., D. D., who is one of the best known men of South Carolina, lives at present in the town of Florence. He was born at Shiloh, Sumter county, in 1850, and consequently saw something and felt something of slavery. His father was a free man, having bought his freedom before his son Irving was born. Immediately after the war young Irving was sent to such schools as were provided for the children of the M. REV. IRVING E. LOWERY. ex-slaves by the Freedmen's bureau, and, as he was an apt student, with a mind thirsting for knowledge, he learned rapidly. Having mastered the curriculum of these schools, he was sent to the Baker Theological institute at Charleston, S. C., and from there to Claflin university at Orangeburg. On leaving Claflin Dr. Lowery entered the South Carolina conference of the M. E. church. Rev. Dr. Lowery is regarded by his brother ministers as one of the ablest preachers of the state. He has filled the pulpit as pastor of some of the largest churches of his denomination. He was for six years the presiding elder of the Greenville (S. C.) district. The degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by Claflin university and that of D. D. by Bennett college, Greensboro, N. C. But it is in the literary field where Dr. Lowery has won his greatest laurels. He began early in life to write for the newspapers and has kept it up during all these years. More than twenty years ago he was a staff correspondent of the Christian Witness of Boston. It was at this time that he wrote a book entitled "Consecrated Talent." which was pub- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. lished by McDonald & Gill, publishers of the Witness. Dr. Lowery has owned in connection with his sons, both of whom are printers, several publications. Two magazines, the Colored Preacher and Lowery's Religious Monthly, also a newspaper, the Southern Reporter, are among his journalistic ventures. Since he and his sons sold out and the company dissolved he has been writing for the daily papers of the state. He worked five years for the News and Courier of Charleston and at present is working for the Daily Record of Columbia. He has recently written a series of articles for the Record on "Tuberculosis Among the Colored People," which are being printed in pamphlet form by the Record Publishing company. "Life on the Old Plantation in Antebellum Days" is the subject of a book which he is now writing. In this story of southern life before the war will be found history, biography, poetry, fiction and descriptive narrative. The manuscript has been read in part by some of the best literary critics, all of whom speak in commendable terms of the story. Dr. Lowery has had several propositions made to him by different publishers in South Carolina, but he has not accepted any of them so far. In fact, he has not decided as to whether he will publish it in book form or sell the manuscript and let it run as a serial. This will be decided when the book is completed. Robert Latham, the editor who persuaded Dr. Lowery to write a story, has read the manuscript in part and has offered to handle it and put it on the market. Odd Fellow Aristocracy. According to the Supreme Circle News, which is edited by Joseph H Watson, Afro-American Odd Fellows in Georgia have drawn the color line within their ranks. It is said that the brown and yellow skinned members are striving to set up a mulatto aristocracy in the matter of holding prominent official positions. The article in which the charge was made was addressed to the editor and signed by "A Black, Pearty Odd Fellow." WORKING THEIR WAY OUT. Afro-Americans Breaking Av/ay From Crowded City Life. Without the beating of any tomtoms or the sounding of any loud alarms there is being built up within a few miles of Philadelphia, at Sharon Hill, an Afro-American town which promises to prove an attraction to our people from the crowded city streets. The pastors of the churches and others of the race are interesting themselves in building up the town, and, besides several tracts of land that already had been purchased, some of our enterprising business men have recently purchased the old Nonsall farm and will parcel it off into building lots. The members of the First African Baptist church in Sharon Hill, of which the Rev. C. T. Wilcher is pastor, recently purchased two lots on Clifton avenue, which is to be about the center of the village, and upon it is to be built a new church edifice. In the neighborhood of the proposed church there are springing up many business enterprises, such as grocery stores, restaurants, barber shops, real estate offices, and near by are several large truck farms. In order to afford employment to the members of the race a brick manufacturing company has been incorporated and has opened up a yard at Sharon Hill.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Architect Clarence Wiggington of Sheridan, Wyoming, has been includ- ed in the number of those who are asked to submit plans for two fire engines for his city. This is a recog- nition of his efforts to make a mark in his profession, that augurs well for the future. The competition will be strong, but Wiggington stands a gooa chance to win out. It goes without .saying that we wish him well. In some manner unaccountable there was omitted from the article appearing last week concerning the National Baptist meeting, the fact that Rev. Over, the pastor of Zion church, was elected to membersnip on the Educational and Mission Boards. This honor comes to him both from his personal worth and at the same time is just recognition to the work of the denomination out here on the frontiers. ~ Some people who receive money in the form of checks are foolish enough to endorse them before they reach the place where they expect to have the checks cashed. This is a danger- ous practice, for if the check is lost or stolen it is at once negotiable, and no redress is open to the loser. It is no more trouble to wait till yor reach the bank and it is a thousand times safer. While opportunities do not come often to persons of our race, yet in the ordinary interests of life good equipment counts, and for the graver responsibilities it is esesntial. The outlook may be hopeless, but our good sense tells us that preparation alone will enable us to make headway against proscription. Therefore, we beg of our parents to make the educa- tion of their children a matter of more concern. Whatever the expense, what- ever the reluctance of the child, still the need of education is so great that it must be carried ‘to completion. A great majority of all people are fail- ures as money-makers. Hardly a ma- jority succeed even in living well. Negroes cannot hope to do so well as whites and it is less marvel that they, too, fail. Yet it is generally true that preparation for right living is one of the great aids to those who do suc- ceed and we can not afford to let de- spair hold us back from doing our preparatory work. Persons sending in news will please bear in mind that names of people are hard to get correctly from hand writ- ing.
