TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN BUDGET OF NEWS FROM OTHER CITIES TWENTIETH YEAR BUDGET FRO ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. J. W. Booker, of Trinidad, Colorado, made a hurried trip to the city last week to see her sick husband, who is here for his health. Upon the arrival of his wife Mr. Booker became immediately relieved from his serious and sudden attack. Mrs. Booker is expected to return about the first of December to remain with her husband during the winter months. Mrs. H. H. Jones, wife of our efficient pastor, is sick and is confined to her bed. The community is in deep sympathy with the reverend gentleman, as it will probably hinder him in his pastoral work, but we are pleased to announce that she is slowly recovering. Mrs. G. W. Cochran is undergoing a serious operation at the Sisters' hospital by having a 15 or 20 pound tumor removed from her abdomen. The last report says she is getting along nicely. Rev. W. H. Prince, the well-known presiding elder of this district, arrived Friday evening and preached two very able sermons, one in the morning and the other in the evening in the presence of an appreciative audience. Quarterly meeting was held Monday evening, which showed that the report was fairly good for the length of time Rev. Jones has been in charge of a much scattered flock. Mrs. T. K. Lawers, of this city, left for San Diego, Calif. She will remain indefinitely. If you want to find the best people of the city go and take your meals at the Watson & Benjamin restaurant, located at 118 $ \frac{1}{2} $ North Third street. The representative citizens of the city met at A. M. E. church and organized a brotherhood among the colored citizens; rather a new organization among our people in this section of the country. The objects are to promote an ideal fellowship not only among its own members, but to establish a closer brotherhood among all civilized people. This effort is worthy of the loyal support of our people. The officers are: Rev. W. H. Jones, president; C. N. Bryant, treasurer; W. T. Rose, secretary; executive officers, T. O. Mason, Henry Bramlett, T. Brinson, Al Montgomery and Ed Ellsworth. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20 1909 A fine program is being arranged for the first Thursday in December. Rev. Jones wishes to announce that he will hold preaching services morning and evening on Thanksgiving day. The choir will aid the Thanksgiving services. Mrs. L. S. Black, the prime factor in the organization of our Brotherhood, is receiving many congratulations for her timely thought. J. W. Davis and Miss Sophia Straw were quietly married last week. Their friends wish them success. Mr. David Haywood and Miss Smithia Taylor, recently of San Antonio, Texas, were married in the presence of a few friends by Rev. H. H. Jones at the parsonage. The rally and cornerstone laying services of the New Mt. Olive Baptist church were a success from every particular. The big crowd of both races was treated with a well rendered program. Rev. H. H. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E. church, was master of ceremonies. Fine singing composed part of the exercises. Addresses by Rev. G. H. Byas, Rev. W. E. Manger (white), and Rev. W. H. Prince, the presiding elder, were all appreciated by their hearers. The laying of the cornerstone by Eureka Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A. M., was performed with unusual intelligence, every member performing his duty without a blunder, much to the commendation of the craft. Some $43 was raised at the rally. TRINIDAD. COLO. Master Arthur Seymour has gone to Colorado Springs to spend the winter with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour. Miss Cora Blackwood, who has been on the sick list, is able to be out again. The Methodists will give a cotton picking and whipping post Thursday night. Thanksgiving day the members of St. Paul's Baptist church will serve a good old turkey dinner, like our mothers used to serve, and the ladies of the Sewing Circle will be busy with their fair. Last week the members of the choir of St. Paul's church gave a very en- tertaining concert. After the concert they sold light refreshments. The program was participated in by the following: Rev. Crutchfield, Miss Georgia Seymour, Misses McAlpin and Seymour, Miss Ethel Sutton, Misses Sutton and Seymour, Mrs. Cross, Miss McAlpin, Miss G. Seymour, Master Seymour, Mrs. Ecles, Misses Smith and Seymour, Mrs. Hardiman. Mrs. Booker is home from Albuquerque and reports Mr. Booker on the mend. Mrs. Thomas Williams' mother, Mrs. Stedman, and two sons are here on a visit. Rev. Smith, of Raton, is in the city calling on former Raton residents. Mr. and Mrs. E. King left last week for Oklahoma. Mr. King received word that his father had been injured by a horse. Miss Cora Blackwell, who has been quite ill with typhoid fever, is up and around again. Mr. Pink Steele came in from Walsenburg on a business visit. He is a cousin of Mr. J. C. Steele. An entertainment will be given at the A. M. E. church Thursday night; superintended by Mrs. Cooper. There will be an old-time wedding and a cotton-picking. A good program and a general good time is anticipated. A little surprise party was given for our minister and his family Monday night. Mr. M. Grant and Mrs. W. K. Garth will leave Friday night for a few days' visit with friends in Denver. Mr. Lee Gibson left last week for the west on a short visit. Tuesday evening, at the home of Mrs. Priscilla Castle, a candy pulling was given, in honor of her daughter, Mrs. Mae Vasquez. Those invited were: Miss Lyllan Garth, Miss Cora Blackwell, Miss Rodges, Miss Duncan, Mr. J. C. Steele, Mr. W. W. Woodfall, Mr. Frazer Moore, Richard Anders, Leonard Chapman, Mr. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hardiman, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Castle, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Boyer and the Misses Barnett. Mr. Leonard Chapman left for ```markdown ``` FIVE CENTS A COPY Denver Sunday evening, but will return Thursday to Trinidad. Mr. E. J. Jenkins left for Wooten to work in the mines at that place. Mrs. Mae Vasquez leaves Wednesday night for Old Mexico. She will be accompanied by her four children. Miss Lillian Garth is visiting her parents for a few weeks. She will return to Denver soon to make her home in that city. CRIPPLE CREEK The Bethel Baptist church gave a chicken fry Monday evening of last week in honor of Mrs. A. E. Reynolds of Denver and in an endeavor to help her secure her property. A short program was rendered. Mrs. H. Dean presided at the organ during the evening. Among other participants were W. E. Scott, Mrs. Fred M. Hopkins, Mrs. John Brody and Mrs. W. E. Scott. Mrs. Josie Volz is indisposed at this writing. Mrs. John Kimberling is on the sick list. Mr. Jesse King of Denver has moved to our city. He expects Mrs. King Saturday. Rev. Harris of Canon City will fill the pulpit Sunday, November 14. The A. M. E. church organized a mite missionary last Thursday afternoon. PROSPECT OF LAND The directors of the Negro Townsite and Land company are sending out to stockholders a letter enclosing also a map of some land which is being considered as the location for the colony proposed. A committee of the board of directors visited this site, together with two other sites, and of the three this one, from all indications, seemed to them to be a site that would be a very desirable location. A meeting of the stockholders is called for Thursday, December 9th, at Shorter Chapel, for the purpose of laying the proposition before the stockholders and subscribers, and if the location is acceptable, to ascertain how much of the land each will subscribe for and what amount to be paid down. The land will probably average $15.00 per acre to stockholders and subscribers. This location will not be held for our approval long, and action will be taken at once. If it will be impossible for any one to be present he should send a proxy, or call on Mr. Harry Jones, 1022 19th street, or Mr. George C. Sample, 1223 19th street, for information. The land is six miles from Byers, a railroad station on the Union Pacific, and within 50 miles of Denver. Each subscriber for land or stock will have to make a cash deposit, payable to A. M. Ward, treasurer. “ENERGY OF MISS PERKINS. Kindergarten Disa Sunday School Teacher, Clubwoman and Singer. i cerca gree nee an ees ae eee ee Among the young wemen of Brook- lyn who have worked their way to the front through many adverse cir- cumstances is Miss Fannie M. Perkins. When it was decided several years ago to open a free kindergarten the ques- tion of capable teachers was an impor- tant feature which confronted the pro- moters. Miss Perkins, being a high schoo] graduate and having had con- siderable experience with children as general secretary of Concord Baptist Sunday school for a number of years, was selected one of the first teachers of the Lincoln free kindergarten. In this capacity Miss Perkins showed re- markable fitness and adaptability, so much so that when the principal di- rector was transferred to another school Miss Perkins was made princi- pal director, being the first Afro-Amer- ican woman in the city to hold such a position. After conducting this work —~ eal ion MG, pitting Peto 08 hs, Gn ‘ e mea Ee ees $554 a ot A awe COO? eee me oe oe i Pa MISS FANNIE M. PERKINS. successfully for some time Miss Per- kins took the public school examina- tion for kindergarten teacher, iu which she was successful, and at the beginning of the school term about four years ago she was appointed as a kindergarten teacher in the public schools. She is interested in all good movements for the uplift of our young people. Besides her duties as a pub- lic school teacher, she is instructor of the teachers’ training class of Concord Baptist Sunday school, first soprano singer in the choir of the Concord Bap- tist church and is largely interested in women’s club work, Y. M. C. A., home mission work and several educational clubs. In order to get a broader know!l- edge of educational methods Miss Ver- kins attended the National Teachers’ association at Denver last summer, which she says was very helpfui to her. From Denver Miss Perkins con- tinued her trip to the Pacifie coast. At San Francisco, Oakland and Sun Jose, Cal., she visited women’s clubs. At the great memorial held in honor of Dr. William T. Dixon at the Baptist temple, Brooklyn, recently Miss Per- kins was one of the leaders in the grand chorus, “Father, Oh, Hear Us.” She is a hard worker, and if her past achievements are to be taken as a standard her future will be great. Business Progress at Washington. The success of the National Benefit association at Washington has been phenomenal. By thrift and economy the managers haye been able to meet all of their obligations and have saved enough to enable the association to purchase additional property recently, which will be remodeled. for business purposes, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. | | ber 25.

Mis A.—"Sure! I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm going to root for the Spumkins." Miss M.—"The Y. M. C. B. is my team and they will win sure." So it is on all corners, and in all homes, the talk of the town is the great game between the two rival teams who will struggle for supremacy on "Welton Park" Thanksgiving morning at 9:30. Scrimmage and signal practice is being indulged in by each team and should be in condition to give the public a good article of ball. Good or bad, the game should arouse interest and in time Denver ought to have a team that will demand recognition from all amateurs. Doctors Harper and McClain have been chosen as officials in the championship foot ball game on Thanksgiving day at 9:30 a.m. between the preachers and the Spoomkins. Archie Rhodes will probably be head linesman. Pearl High School, of Nashville, Tenn., defeated Sumner High School, of St. Louis, by a large score. The game between Fiske and Atlanta Baptist College was not played last Saturday owing to the death of Mrs. Gates (white), president of Spellman Seminary (for colored girls). The game will be played later in the season. Douglass Center football team is a fierce aggregation and is looking for gridiron trouble. Woe to the team that "bucks" them, for they are fast, fit and furious. All have played their respective positions before. If all reports are true, Meharry will defeate Fiske University easy this season in their annual game on Thanksgiving. Both teams are putting in hard practice for the occasion. There is not much doing in the fighting line just now. Jack Johnson left in his big auto for Indianapolis Monday to fill an engagement at a local theater there. He is still confident of winning from Jeffries and advised his wise colored friends not to be asleep when the fight comes off, but to put their "iron" down on him. When shown the report that Jeffries will meet all comers during his one night stands while on his theatrical tour Johnson said: "Well, well! I'll be in Pittsburg the same week he is, and I will slip around and see if I can stay with him four rounds and get some of that easy money ($300)." We are wondering what Jeff will say when he hears of the joke. Public sentiment has closed Langford's mouth. Everyone knows he hasn't a shadow of a chance with Johnson. Then, too, what's the use of two colored men pounding the life out of one another? I am of the opinion that the newspapers are doing this to keep Langford off of Ketchel and turn the public's eye to Johnson. Anything to keep from having two THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. SPORTS ALONG THE GREAT WHITE WAY Negro champions at once. Then, too, besides, what prestige would Johnson gain in defeating Langford. All would say, "Well, he ought to whip him. Sam is a middle-weight and Johnson is a heavy-weight." It would be the same Johnson-Ketchel affair over again; nothing to loose and nothing to gain in way of reputation. In the Cook County Bible Class Athletic Association of the past season, Bethel A. M. E. won the championship of the South Side League, Quinn Chapel, A. M. E., won second place. "Olivet" of Olivet (Baptist) Bible Class, made a credible showing, although a new team. "Grace" of Grace Presbyterian Bible Class held second place in Presbyterian League, with "Hope" of Hope Presbyterian third. These were the only colored teams in the association, and they made a record for themselves on the field and in church circles by their kind and gentlemanly conduct. How much better would it be of all the Christian churches would form Bible class leagues to encourage a healthy and innocent pasttime among the younger set. The game here is greatly patronized by white and colored. There is never no racial friction between the teams. Only the members of the various churches are allowed to play; even the umpires being chosen from the Sunday School superintendents. The rules of the association forbid professionalism, betting, swearing or fighting. Any one forfeiting these rights is cast from the league. Chicago is now facing a base ball problem, as to which team to support during the season of 1910. Mr. Leland of the Leland Giants has severed relations with that team and will place in the city league a new team known as the Chicago Giants. "Rube" Foster will manage the Leland Giants, who will play on the South Side under a real championship pennant. Although the new team puts the old out of the league, Mr. Foster wishes it much success. Mr. Lloyd Hall writes from Kansas City that he attended a game recently between the Topeka Y. M. C. A. and W. U. The game was close and exciting, the score being 6 to 2 in favor of W. U. until the last three minutes of play, when Topeka came up strong and played the W. U. off her feet, winning by a score of 14 to 6. Jack Johnson is filling a theatrical engagement in Indianapolis and drawing crowded houses. Concerning a fight with Langford, Johnson stated that he will fight Langford for a side bet of $10,000, but will not accept any share of the gate receipts, as he does not believe two blacks will draw well either in America or abroad. In regards to Jeffries, Johnson is confident of winning and thinks that Jeff is fagged out, not from dissipation but simply stale.

Coffey, who has been connected with the war department at Washington for several months, has been appointed to a lucrative berth as meat inspector as the result of a civil service examination and has been assigned to Swift's packing house at Chicago. His duties consist of looking after the sanitation in the cutting, trimming, offal and tanking departments and keeping track of the edible and inedible products and seeing that they are properly tanked. Previous experience is standing him in good stead, and Mr. Coffey is already making a record in his new calling. Mrs. Coffey, who is a bride, accompanied her husband to Chicago, and they are creating quite a favorable impression in the social life of the Windy City. They are fortunate in having as a chaperon that popular and ever obliging Chicago pilot Mr. Noah D. Thompson of the United States Express company. Cottage Down Here Good Enough. The time to do a thing is now. The principal reason for so many people not having, owning and conducting something of their own is because they procrastinate—put off. Remember that if you would own something for yourself and family the time to arrange for this something is now. Every man, real man, is expected to have some of this world's goods. This is decidedly better than having "a manSION in the sky." Better first own a cottage here where you live.—Orangeburg (S. C.) Recorder.

At El Reno, Okla., found a thriving little city of 10,000, and the people of our race, numbering about 700, seem to be up and doing. The public school is indeed doing a good work under the leadership of Prof. J. T. Ellison, who assumed charge after the resignation of Mrs. E. T. Barbour wife of Attorney Barbour of the city Miss Nellie Brown, formerly a teacher here, has accepted a position in the city school at Oklahoma City, where she has charge of the musical department. Dr. Boswell is doing a good business in his profession, also the Scott & Strother Grocery Co. They also have in this city a chartered organization known as the Negro Investment Co., with a capital stock of $5,000.00, which is now planning to erect a large three-story brick, in which they will carry on an extensive mercantile business. I find the churches in good condition spiritually, the A. M. E. church, under the leadership of Rev. J. S. Dawson, is indeed doing a great work in this county. The Negro farmers are all well-to-do, some owning from 160 to 400 acres of land. Ninety per their own homes and all on the modern style. I visited with Judge Barbour in his office, and find that he is enjoying a good practice. My visit in Oklahoma City with my daughter, Miss Nellie Brown, was of a two-fold nature, unexpected in that the Constitutional League of the State of Oklahoma convened on November 1st there, which has for its object the fighting of the Jim Crow law that is now in operation in this state, and they are making a wonderful fight to have said law abolished in the state, the case coming up for trial at St. Louis, Mo., December 13th, 1909, before the circuit court of appeals. Judge Barbour is one of the leading attorneys in this fight, having been the father of the Constitutional League, which has a membership of 1,500 and still growing. I was called on by the able president of this league, Dr. Jernagin, to address the meeting. Our people in Oklahoma City, the greatest city of the new state, are advancing at a wonderful rate, there being at least four or five Negro doctors and three Negro attorneys and dentist. I am informed that this condition prevails throughout the state. The wealthiest man in the state of Oklahoma is a Negro, Zeke Moore, who it is estimated, to be worth at least one-half a million, owning and conducting his own oil fields. The Jim Crow law in the state seems to have discouraged some of our people, who are selling out and leaving the state, while there are others who are staying by their land, while the leaders fight the case through the courts, which they hope to win. Hon. E. T. Barbour is one of the wealthiest Negroes in the city of El Reno. He owns quite a lot of property, besides one of the finest residences in the city. His law practice keeps him busy all the time. He is a jolly and very sociable gentleman. I left El Reno, Okla., November 9, and arrived in El Paso, Texas, the 10th. Left for Douglas, Ariz., Monday, 15th. I met a host of old friends, among them was Mr. C. C. Shelton, one of the wealthiest Negroes of Texas. J. H. BROWN. IN MEMORY OF JOHN BROWN. The Race Called Upon to Show Appreciation of His Deeds. To the Colored Citizens of the United States and Their Fellow Countrymen: Greeting: Inasmuch as by some error the New England Suffrage league at its sixth annual session in Boston on Oct. 4 urged the colored people of the United States to generally celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the public murder of John Brown and named the date Dec. 29, 1909, we, the undersigned officers of said league, announce that the proper date is Dec. 2, 1909. In pursuance of the vote of the league ratified by the mass meeting at St. Paul's Baptist church on the night of Oct. 4 and in consonance with its spirit we issue this appeal first to all colored Americans and also to all their fellow countrymen to assemble in public memorial meeting on Dec. 2 next to honor the memory of this protomartyr of freedom. We especially urge the National Independent Political league and the Niagara movement to hold such public memorial meetings and all literary or patriotic societies to do so. We appeal to all the colored churches of this country and to all other churches to set aside the Sunday preceding Dec. 2 in honor of John Brown as a day of prayer for the cause of freedom, for which he laid down his life, and of honor to this great crusader. We further appeal to the colored press and to all other publications to spread this appeal broadcast before their readers. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER.

The will of Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes, daughter of the late James Stokes, who died on April 26 at Redlands, Cal., was recently filed for probate. It makes specific bequests of nearly $300,000, most of which goes to charity and educational institutions. The residue of the estate she directs to be made into what is to be known as the "Phelps Stokes fund," to be used for "the erection of tenement house dwellings in New York city and for the education of Negroes, the North American Indians and needy and deserving white students through schools similar to those at Northfield, Mass., and the Peck Industrial school at Asheville, N. C." This fund is to be under the direction of a board of trustees composed of the Protestant Episcopal bishop of New York, the chancellor of New York university, the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, Newton P., Caroline M. P., Helen O. P. and Olivia E. P. Stokes, together with Grace H. Dodge, F. Louis Slade, Mabel Slade and Arthur Curtiss James. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute of Tuskegee, Ala.; the Calhoun Colored school of Calhoun, W. Va., and the Peabody Home For Aged and Indigent Women at West Farms, N. Y., receive each $10,000, to be used in the erection of chapels. The Burnham Industrial farm at Canaan, N. Y., gets a like amount. Small Sized Political Muddle. Out in Oxford. O., the Afro-American voters, who number about 100 of the possibly less than 400 voters of the community, have in the field for the coming election a complete ticket of candidates for public offices. The whites have three tickets in the field. If our men will stand together and support their candidates to a man they will not need a Kelly Miller to decide which side is victor on election day.

The success of many young Afro-American women in the higher branches of learning within the past few years has been truly gratifying and should arouse and inspire a large number of those who for some reason are wont to leave school before finishing the prescribed course of study. A condition even more deplorable than this is to be found at the present time at Galveston, Tex., where the school authorities have shortened the course of study in the high school for Afro-Americans because a sufficient number of our girls and young women have not taken ad THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY MISS EFFIE E. GRANT. advantage of the opportunities offered by the school to justify a continuation of the full course. We recall with pleasure the progress which Miss Effie E. Grant has made both as a student of music and also as a teacher. From the time Miss Grant gave her first public recital in Warner hall, New Haven, Conn., last spring to the present the public has manifested keen interest in her. She is a graduate of the Yale Conservatory of Music and since finishing her studies there has been very active in musical and educational affairs. At the recital mentioned Miss Grant played a transcription of Haydn's "With Verdure Clad" ("Creation") with marked ability. Greig's "The Two Brown Eyes" and "The Swan," by the same author. "Serenata" (G. Braga) and "To Spring," Chaminade, were also brilliantly rendered. Miss Grant has accepted the offer of the Bordentown Industrial school, at Bordentown, N. J., to take charge as music teacher and is succeeding splendidly. She is a typical New England girl who by persistence is making for herself a place of honor in the educational work of the race. N.

Grandson of the Great Agitator Captures Vast Audience In Brooklyn. The first star recital of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn, for the season of 1909-10 was held in Association hall on Fulton street on Thursday evening, Nov. 11. The star attraction was Joseph H. Douglass, the renowned violinist (grandson of Frederick Douglass), who has captured many brilliant audiences at home and abroad. It was Mr. Douglass' second appearance in Brooklyn in the interest of the Carlton avenue branch, and he fully sustained his reputation as a pleasing violinist of rare ability. It was a Douglass triumph. The audience was large and showed its appreciation for high class music by liberally applauding each selection rendered. Other artists of the evening, who performed their parts well and who also received liberal applause from the audience, were: Mme. DeLyon Leonard, the brilliant and popular soprano soloist of New York; the Academy Male quartet of Brooklyn, Miss Helen Murphy, a white lady THE MUSICIAN JOSEPH H. DOUGLASS. from the Brooklyn Young Women's Christian association, who as elocutionist was heard to good advantage, and the Eureka Instrumental trio. Professor James F. R. Wilson, the well known organist and piano player, was the accompanist of the evening. Secretary Robert P. Hamlin and his able committee, with Professor P. Albert Myers, chairman, deserve great credit for making it possible for the public to bear and enjoy such a fine musical treat. The recital has awakened new interest in the association, which will go far toward strengthening it both in finance and membership. Success of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood, an organization which has for its object the forming of a Young Men's Christian association at Denver, Colo., is meeting with encouraging success. The organization was begun in 1908 and up to the present time has a membership of about 200. It has collected over a thousand dollars and has the hearty support of the central Y. M. C. A., which has also assured our men that it will aid them financially. The recent lecture netted the Brotherhood $357. Afro-Americans in Denver will soon have a full fledged Young Men's Christian association. Phone Main 6243 CURTIS M. HARRIS Funeral Director A. M. LAWHORN UNDERTAKER MRS. J. J.

Walter Williams Won Prominence as Surgeon at Savannah. Among the men who have graduated with distinction from the medical de- partment of Howard university and have distinguished themselves in their profession as physicians and surgeons is a native of Texas, now residing in Savannah, Ga. The clinical course taken at the Massachusetts General hospital by this young man prepared him for a special work among the race. Dr. J. Walter Williams, M. D., went to Savannah during the year 1899. There was a remarkable case that was puzzling to a number of ex- perienced surgeons in the city, and Dr. OS ‘ , «a 4 ee 4% fm a hy ‘a ee ON < ge ii gg SO Se DR. J. WALTER WILLIAMS. Williams for the first and last time was the only Afro-American allowed to perform au operation in the Geor- gia iutirmary at Savannah. This par- ticular operation was a success. In diagnosing a case that afterward prov- ed to be of a freakish nature one of the leading white surgeous of Georgia, who was on the same case, dissented against Dr. Williams’ final opinion of the nature of the illness of the party. ‘The patient was carried to the Georgia infirmary for operation. The promi- hent white surgeov had his white con- ferees and nurses present at the hour of operation, aud Dr, Williams was the only Afro-American present to witness the outcome of the surgical efforts of the white surgeon. Results proved the scientific ability of Dr. Wil- lians, and the opinion of this surgeon was totally ut variance with that of Dr. Williams. These two cases brought such recognition to Dr. Williams from members of the profession that the public, especially bis race, heavily taxed him by their substantial appre- ciation of his fituess as a surgeon. He has worked zealously as _vice president of the Georgia Afro-Ameri- can Medical association and the South Atlantic Medical society of Savannah. His distinct professional personality and treatise before these bodies on freakish cases have been potent in the scientific progress of the organiza- tions. His civic and economic spirit makes him a public spirited citizen, An example is set by him by the accumu- lation of valuable real estate. Among the Afro-Americans of Savannah he is ever working to make them see the main chance, He can be seen early In the day and late at night in bis ear attending his patients in and out of the Charity hospital, of which he is superintendent and surgeon in chief. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. He has beeb associated wro cue work for a number of years. and under his administration this institution has been enlarged and modernized. Among his clan he is noted for his profession- al courtesies and ts a factor in the de- velopment of the Afro-American folk of his community. A large white cor- poration recently engaged him as phy- sician for its Afro-American employees. Dr. A. W. Pegues Liberally Supported In His Efforts to Better the Condition of the Afflicted at School For Such Unfortunates at Raleigh—Roger O’Kelley a Beneficiary. t _ A journey among Afro-Americans in North Carolina is not like a journey through a country where lives ure barren. Under the beneficent ministry of the best white people and Afro- Americans of the state the weak and ignorant members of the race are growing stronger and more intelligent. Men and women of the race who have a®negated self for higher usefulness are reaching out among the masses and nourishing unfruitful lives into true service and beauty. One of these reformers who belongs to this noble group is Dr. A. W. Pegues, who is giv- ing “his life to the training of deaf, dumb and blind at the North Carolina school for the enlightening of this class of persons at Raleigh. The main building and boys’ dormitories, valued at $10,000, cover more than a city block. The institution accommodate» 225 students and receives an annua appropriation of $25,000 from the State. As supervisor of this school for Afro-Americans Dr. Pegues, on ac- count of his native ability, coupled with the assistance of a capable corps of teachers, {s transforming these seemingly blighted lives into rays of sunshine. Dr. Pegues has the liberal support of. the board, which is com posed of white men. Four of Dr. Pe- gues’ teachers are white. An optimist could not desire a better relationship than that which exists between the supervisor and the teachers, composed of both races. The girls are taught cooking, dressmaking, plain sewing and fancy work, such as the making of shawls, bedroom slippers, fascina- tors and other articles. They are also taught music and given a thorough literary training. The boys are taught shoemaking, carpentry, broom and mattress making and chair caning. Being competent artisans, they readily find employment when they graduate and often during their course of study. Literary subjects are also taught. Roger O'Kelley, a young man who is deaf and dumb, is a graduate of the law department of Shaw university. He received his literary training at the deaf and dumb Institute. Another encouraging feature of this school is the farm of thirty-five acres, which by scientific farming yields all of the vegetables consumed by the inmates, and not less than $1,000 is received annually from the sale of produce from this farm. Dr. Pegues is a fine example of what man should be to his fellow man. As dean of the theolog- ical department of Shaw university for ten years be imparted such wisdom that helped to kindle a holy ambition within the hearts of his students. He was for seven years dean of the col- lege department of the same univer- sity. He resigned his position as dean of the theological department at Shaw university to accept the position he now holds in the oldest institution of {ts kind among our people.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qual- ities, all lengths, and all conditions of halr, even to the growing of hair on bal¢ vlaces of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing \us possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are be ing imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently menticned us when trying to seli 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 “PO- RO” is on every box, not genuine without it.

The extraordinary honors paid the distinguished Japanese who visited the city this week brings up a train of thought in the minds of black Coloradoans that is not reassuring. Not a year ago this nation was resounding with denunciation of the Orientals and fearful of the yellow peril. Such a violent change from hatred to friendship in so short a time causes us to wonder why 40 years have passed with sentiment unchanged toward us, who are Americans, who have shared the dangers and privations of the republic, whose toil and whose blood alike have mingled with white Americans'. Does it mean that in no way can we purchase a release from their hatred of Negro blood? Or does it mean that the gospel of fear is stronger in the American white man than is love? The Japanese are commercial rivals, and, according to the jingoes, have a civilization that cannot mix with ours. The Negroes are not distinguishable from other Americans except in color. The one maintains amicable relations with this country for the sake of the profit it may get for itself from copying our civilization, the other has no home other than this land and its all with go to swell the aggregate of American achievement. So it is that we say, the thoughts aroused by the treatment of the distinguished Japanese are not reassuring to black Americans. We do not in any way begrudge them their pleasant reception for the broader the humanity of this people, the greater our prospects for fair treatment, but we do feel that the company manners of the American people are too good for their treatment of home folks to be so bad. LET THE PRESIDENT ACT. Out in Arizona in the town of Douglas there has arisen a new species of race prejudice that makes all the older and better known kinds look like school boy efforts. There are in that city a number of colored property owners whose holdings are interspersed with those of white citizens, some of them being in the best part of the city. It is now proposed first to separate the schools, giving separate accommodations to colored children. This move is nothing new, but not content with saving Anglo-Saxon civilization through the separate school route, the school board actually proposes to erect this school building for colored children OUT- --- PAGE. & MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months .. $ .50 Colorado, as second class mallmatter. the districts of the Denver postoffice, shilling galleys. If your paper does not once. Do not delzy. The fault can only should be as late as Monday in reach SIDE THE CITY LIMITS. It only needs a compulsory school attendance law and the placing of the school far enough away to finish off the most stupendous display of prejudice ever attempted in this country. If President Taft has any power and wishes to do an act of justice, he will act. It is possible for the Negroes in Douglas to seek justice in the courts, but the law is usually with the best lawyers and the side with the most money. The inequalities of wealth between us and our white neighbors alone is enough to hamper us in any struggle in the courts, apart from the fact that there is a spirit very prevalent in some sections to save this civilization for the white race, even if it cost a little legal wrong-doing in the saving. It would be a downright shame for these poor Negroes to have to send their children to school under the proposed conditions. It will be no less a shame for them to have to spend in litigation the money which they need for paying off their homes. President Taft should act. NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESS BY TERIAN CHURCH.

The meetings will continue this week at Scotts' and the next week at the People's church. The Rev. J. J. Cabbell, district superintendent of the Lincoln Conference, will hold the third quarterly conference at Scotts' Sunday. He will preach both morning and evening and the Rev. Powers in the afternoon. All the ministers and their congregations are cordially invited to be present. Do not forget to take your dinner with Scotts' on Thanksgiving Day. There will be an abundance of good things; all for a quarter of a dollar. Mrs. Mary Evans and Mrs. Anderson are working hard to have everything up-to-date. Do not cook dinner at home, but come and eat dinner with us. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mrs. Anna McPherson with light refreshments last Thursday afternoon. Phone 5247 Main. MRS. J P.
