MASONS Entertainment MONDAY DEC.26 TURNER HALL FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN NEW VENTURE IN JOURNALISM Unique Publication Headed by Two Able Men. CONFESSION OF NAT TURNER. Series of Articles of Historic Importance Being Republished In Pamphlet Form by the American Negro Monographs Company Will Be of Much Value to Students. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The American Negro Monographs company is the latest semi-journalistic venture. It is an entirely unique idea. Its first aim is that of republishing in pamphlet form such historical publications as are out of print or found only in libraries of reference and private collections which are not accessible to the general student; second, of giving in a form best adapted to permanent preservation such utterances as by their rare merit are worthy of the widest circulation. To be still more specific, aim No. 1 is "The Confession of Nat Turner, the Negro Insurgent." How few persons of the present day know the facts of the Southampton insurrection, which occurred eighty years ago and which thrilled the whole land with the bare recital of the bold deeds done by Nat Turner! At the time more than 50,000 copies of the confessions were sold, but today it is doubtful if 100 original copies are extant. The American Negro Monographs company has republished these confessions in their original form and thus placed it within the province of any one interested in the subject to have the information in his own possession. No. 2, "The Contemporary Evolution of the Negro," is a very comprehensive and philosophical discussion of the Negro race throughout the world by Rev. Thomas G. Harper, a priest of the Protestant Episcopal church, who is now a barrister in London. Mr. Harper has a most extensive ex- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 24. 1910 M. PERIENCE BY TRAVEL, and his intellectual equipment fits him to deliver a message which will be comforting to all friends of the Negro race wherever distributed. The gentlemen who are conducting this enterprise are not without experience. The editor, Mr. John W. Cromwell, is a veteran newspaper man, having for fourteen consecutive years published the People's Advocate at the national capital. He is also one of the founders of the American Negro academy and its corresponding secretary. The publisher, Mr. Robert L. Pendleton, is one of the most successful news and job printers in Washington and is well known in Masonic circles. This interesting and highly instructive series of select reading matter should receive a cordial welcome in every home. The historic information to be found in them will give school children and students generally such knowledge as will be of intrinsic value to them in future life. No. 3 will be the memoirs of Benjamin Bannaker, which were delivered before the Maryland Historical society by the Hon. Benjamin H. B. Latrobe, a distinguished lawyer. Copies of the work may be had by addressing the American Negro Monographs company, 600 F street, northwest, Washington. State Historian & N ural History Soc STATES SATURDAY, DEC. 24. 1910 OPTIMISM OF W. S. BUCHANAN Progress of the Race Inspires Educator to Renewed Action. BIG COTTON CROP MARKETED. Having Studied the Methods and Work of State Schools In the West, President Buchanan Feels Justified In Asking For a More Liberal Sum For His School. Normal, Ala.-President Walter S. Buchanan of the Agricultural and Mechanical College For Colored Youths, located in Normal, recently returned from an extended trip in the west, during which time he visited several of the state schools. The most notable institutions which he visited were Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute, Prairie View, Tex.; Agricultural and Normal university, Langston, Okla., and Branch Normal college, Pine Bluff, Ark. Primarily to study the conditions surrounding the institutions, their progress and the extent of the work they are doing, President Buchanan has gathered such information as will enable him to go before the forthcoming Alabama legislature next year and show by comparative statements what other states are doing for the education of colored children. It is his aim thereby to induce the legislature to give a more suitable appropriation for Normal or at least to make some special appropriation to cover eminent necessities. Professor Buchanan declared in several addresses that he made to representative audiences while west that the colored people in the south and southwest must prepare themselves for the great commercial, professional and industrial opportunities that the section affords for black and white and that they must be prepared to make the greatest use of the natural resources of the southland or their places would be taken by other peoples. In his address he gave some good advice with reference to race relations in the south and declared, --- FIVE CENTS A COPY among other things: "The need of the race is for educated men and women who are willing to work with their hands. There is no more opportunity in the south than anywhere else for an uneducated man, and that educated individual makes a sad mistake if he feels that by reason of his education he is above working with his hands. "We are called upon to engage in economic competition with the white race for opportunities to live and grow in the struggle for existence. Indeed, we are living in a great and prosperous country, our natural home, but at the same time the natural home of another race, which is thrifty, deserving, industrious and efficient. If we would succeed in the end we must measure up to the standard of our more fortunate brother. "The natural wealth of the south means just as much to us as it does to the white people. We have just marketed a big cotton crop. This crop alone is worth twice as much as the product of all the gold mines in the world for the same time, and the colored people had the largest share in producing it. "If the race is not better off financially for it there is something wrong with us. Here in the south we have the rare and splendid opportunity of getting into the line of progress and of becoming a sure and integral part of the great and wealthy section in which we are to forever live, and we can become owners and citizens of the most desirable class or be reduced to mental servants." Dr. Washington Issues Annual Appeal For Christmas Contributions. In keeping with a long established custom of sending out a general appeal to the public for Christmas tokens for children in the rural districts of the south, in Tuskegee, Ala., and vicinity particularly, Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued the following reminder for this year: Persons who live in large cities and in enlightened sections of the country do not realize that Christmas means very little in the way of happiness, enjoyment and cheer to many of those who live in the remote rural districts of the south, especially those who live on the large plantations. For a number of years it has been a privilege as well as a pleasure to receive cards and other Christmas presents for distribution through various teachers in the south among children in the plantation districts, who have very little to make the Christmas season one to be remembered. Such gifts mean much to them. Anything of the kind indicated can be addressed to me, and I will see that it accomplishes the purpose for which it is sent. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tunnell, Pearl Lewis and Adele Parks. The New Year's reception to be given by this club is looked farward to with much interest by the younger set. Decision In the Wall Case. Isabel Wall, the eight-year-old child of Stephen Wall, who has between one-eighth and one-sixteenth Negro blood in her veins, was declared a Negro by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia recently. The opinion was handed down by Justice Shepard, the chief justice of that court. Chief Justice Shepard said: "Congress having failed to define the meaning of the word 'colored,' the duty has necessarily devolved, in the first instance at least, upon the board of education to determine those children that are white and those that are colored whenever that question arises in a particular case. "In the absence of a definition in our own statute we are compelled to ascertain the popular meaning of the word 'colored.' As early as 1820 Mr. Justice Story declared that the word had acquired definite meaning as mulatto, Negro, etc., though it was not necessary in the case before him to express more definitely what the meaning was." The attorneys for the girl contended that the word "colored" must be given its common or popular significance "Negro physical characteristic and Negro blood must combine in one to render her colored," the petition read. Regarding this contention Chief Justice Shepard says: "It must be remembered that the learned trial justice had found that THE WEDDING OF MARY B. BURTON MISS LILLIAN EVANS. there were to be observed of the child physical characteristics which afforded ocular evidence suggestive of aught save the Caucasian. He declined, however, to accept this delusive test of race and based his conclusion that the petitioner is 'colored' upon the fact that she has a proportion of Negro blood, not more than one-eighth and not less than one-sixteenth." Isabel Wall is the child of Stephen Wall, a colored man who is married to a white woman. The child attended for awhile a white school at Brookland, D. C., but was afterward denied admission by the principal of that school, whose action was supported by the superintendent of the Washington schools. The matter was then taken to the board of education, the result being that the board by a vote of 8 to 5 upheld the action of the superintendent. An application was then made by Stephen Wall, the father of the child. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO who is an employee of the government printing office, for a writ of mandamus to compel the school board to admit his daughter to the Brookland school. Justice Wright of the District supreme court dismissed the bill, and an appeal was taken to the court of appeals, the highest court of the District of Columbia, with the result aforesaid. It is understood that the case will be further appealed to the supreme court of the United States. Success of John W. Thomas as Farmer One of the most thrifty farmers of Kansas is John W. Thomas, who recently sold one of his plantations near Hutchinson, Kan., for $15,000. Mr. Thomas has since bought a new tract of land south of Hutchinson for $10,000, for which he paid spot cash. He is easily worth from $50,000 to $75,000 in cash, besides his two farms and a splendid touring car, which he uses to good advantage in his work as well as for pleasure. LADIES' AUXILIARY HOLDS YEARLY CLOSING MEETING. Female Department of Sons of Virginia In Flourishing Condition. The ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn has had a most successful year. This was clearly shown at the last meeting for 1910, held the week ending Dec. 17. The membership has been largely increased, the finances put on a firm basis, and the current obligations of the organization have all been met. Besides being the closing meeting for the year, it was also arranged to welcome the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, as the installing officer for the society. Owing to illness in Dr. Moss' family he could not attend. Mrs. Jennie Stewart, the able and energetic president, presided in her usual tactful and winning manner. Under Mrs. Stewart's administration the auxiliary has had a most successful career. A board of directors consisting of nine members to look after the special work of the society and the organization of a children's department are some of the things besides the regular executive work of the auxiliary which Mrs. Stewart has accomplished during her administration. The social features of the evening were interspersed with brief addresses from members of the main organization. Among those who spoke were Messrs. Alexander Brown, chaplain; Henry H. Green and John Swan. The next meeting of the auxiliary will be held on Tuesday evening, Jan. 10, 1911. Culmination of Color Prejudice. To hate a person solely because he is black, white, yellow or brown to the extent of denying to him the usual rights and prerogatives due to mankind is a crime. Color prejudice as it exists in the United States is an evil which will eventually bring vengeance down upon the heads of those who harbor it. The Way They Do It In Indiana. William H. Morris has been appointed to the office force of John Rauch, the incoming county clerk, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Mr. Rauch says that Mr. Morris was appointed in recognition of the support the colored people gave him in the last election. That's the way to do it.

Rhoda Anderson and Dr. Oscar Gauss will be at the Smart Set Jan. 2 with an act that will please in music. HARRY J. EARLE IN SALT LAKE. Mr. H. J. Earle, known all over the country as the Dancing Earle, is now located in Salt Lake, where he is an attache of the Salt Lake Forum. MRS. ORA DUNLAP. Mrs. Ora Dunlap, who visited Denver two summers ago from the state of Ohio, and now one of the prominent members of the S. H. Dudley Smart Set Co., will be remembered as the lady with such a charming voice. Her singing in Chicago last week made some of the white critics sit up and take notice. Mrs. Dunlap was also a guest of Mrs. Josephine Miller, who resides in Chicago and they both send regards to friends in little Denver town. Three trained bears will be handled by Mr. George C. Sample at the World's Wonder Concert at Campbell Chapel Thursday, Dec. 29, 1910. Everybody will be there. The haunted house is a side splitter. Come early and stay late. BERT WILLIAMS USED TO BE BELL HOP. Before Bert Williams, the great negro comedian now playing with Follies, 1910, took to the stage as a means of livelihood he was a bellboy at Baldwin's hotel, San Francisco. He made his debut as a comedian with a negro minstrel company which toured the small California towns with success, and Williams has been advancing in that profession ever since, and today is the greatest comedian the world has ever known. Of course everybody knows these two boys, Lew Procter and Eddie Hill, who can play all there is in a piano and sing as well. They are the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. clever entertainers at the Savoy Cafe of Chicago. Don't miss seeing Curtis Harris Jan. 2. He will sing Williams' hit. KELLY AND DAVIS AT THE MONOGRAM. CHICAGO. Dude Kelly and Amon Davis are doing the stunt that caused the snow to fall at tht Monogram theater, Chicago. Kelly as a dancer is in a class by himself and Davis, with a few more years of experience will make a name as being one of the great negro comedians. JORDAN AND BAKER Joe Jordan and George W. Baker are now doing a double piano act in Europe. Carlisle, who was formerly with Baker, has quit as a team, and Jordan and Baker are known as the emperors of that tune called ragtime. COLORED BASEBALL PLAYERS ARE THE MONEY. The negro baseball players have been so proficient in the last few years (that is the big Eastern teams) that they have forced the public to recognize and appreciate their value. In Chicago they have many baseball stars that would do any of the big white league's a credit were they allowed just a chance. And Mr. Rube Foster, manager of the Chicago Leland Giants, says that in the next two or three years the big white managers of league teams will stop, look and think, and then get their heads together and say, "We must have So and So, if he is a negro." Watch Elkins and Tomlin Jan. 2 at East Turner hall. They are great. NEGRO THEATERS INCREASING. The year of 1910 is nearing a close and the negro during the year all over the country has been one busybody of humanity. They have been prosperous in every way. Take, for instance, at the beginning of the year. There were about 45 negro theaters in the country and now they can be counted up as high as 87, or they have increased as much as 50 per cent. during gthe year and the same with the colored Y. M. C. A.'s. They are rapidly forging to the front, and as the old saying, 'Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands.' It is coming, oh! so true, yearly. IN THE MUSICAL WORLD. Author of Song Dedicated to Jack Johnson Has New Experience. Encouraged by the success of the two former songs, "Strangers" and the "Friends," the Ennis publishing house, Brooklyn, C. Ennis, proprietor, has put upon the market another catchy song, dedicated to Champion Jack Johnson and entitled "Mamma, I Have Brought Home the Bacon." The new production is a novel one and from present indications it will prove to be a big seller. Knowing that bookstores generally carry in stock the latest songs relating to most all vocations in life, and especially along amusement lines, Mr. Ennis offered his new song for sale in quite a number of the large dry goods establishments in Brooklyn and New York. In the majority of the places where Mr. Ennis offered his new song objection was made to its title. Upon in- SMART SET VAUDEVILLE CO.

It was also found that in nearly all of the music stores there were for sale numerous songs written by white authors with various titles of a reflective humorous character relating to colored people. The general title to these productions conveys a sense of inferiority or idea of ridicule, while Mr. Ennis' works breathe a sense of pride and admiration. Experiences of John Mitchell, Jr. Colors in persons of the south vary so one can't tell who is who nor which is which, observes the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A few days ago our noted banker and editor, John Mitchell, Jr., went to Texas. He crossed the line and was honored by the Mexicans, but soon as he stepped back on American soil and assumed the role of a man he was asked. "Are you a foreigner or American born?" "American born," was his reply. "Then take a nigger's place." Had he been a foreign Negro he could have done as he pleased. Give Federal Government More Power. "Old Hickory," writing in the Dallas (Tex.) Express, says: "Unless the federal government is given power to punish mobs that lynch and burn foreigners living in this country the United States is going to commit the error of waking up the 'wrong passenger' one of these days and is going to find itself with a full grown row on its hands. The burning of a Mexican at a point in Texas recently has stirred Mexico from center to circumference." THE BOXING CLUB ROY BROWN Who Challenges. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

We congratulate the Amsterdam News on having reached its first annual birthday, says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. It is a most promising youngster and bids fair for a long and useful life. May it continue to-grow fat, rugged and sassy. We also congratulate New York city on having within its midst so promising a newspaper and express the hope that it will give it the proper support. If it does it will help the city as well as the paper. Why Trusts Dominate the Government. Running for congress in the Ninth Virginia district is an expensive proposition, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. In the recent campaign Mr. Stuart, the Democratic candidate, spent $17,000, while Mr. Slemp, the successful Republican incumbent, spent $7,000. The poor man has no chance to run for office now. No wonder the government of the country is dominated by the trust and other combinations of capital. ```markdown ``` Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting.

Dr. H. B. Frissell Speaks For Hamp- ton Institute. J Messrs. J. E. Moorland, W. A. Hun- ton, Lewis E. Johnson and W. A. Marchand have returned to Washing- ton from the thirty-seventh interna- tonal Young Men’s Christian associa- tlon convention which was recently held in Toronto, Canada. Messrs. moorang and Hunton are in- ternational secre- taries with head- quarters in the city. Mr. Lewis E. Johnson is secretary of the local branch, while Mr. Mar- ehand is in charge of the Young Men's Christian asso- ciation work at Howard univer. sity. They are en- thusiastic over the great work accomplished at +hia -tanenkttuk ee | D - i Woug MA ' | ao ers aioe eee meer and especially at the extreme cordlal- ity shown the colored delegates, elght- een in number, from all parts of the United States. Mr. Johnson said, “We Were received as a man and a broth- er.” This was never more fully ex- perlenced by any group of colored men attending such a convention. “The president of the convention,” continued Mr, Johnson, “made the fol- lowing comment: ‘Wonderful unity! Men of many Christian churches, of Many nations, of different races— white, black, yellow, red—of different classes socially, educationally, etc., and yet not a jar of discord.’ This fully characterizes this great gathering of Tepresentatives from every section of the American continent with repre- sentatives from the remote parts of the earth.” A number of the colored who give their entire time to Young len’s Christian association work. Mr. Moorland has, with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hunton, been the very back- bone of the Young Men’s Christian association cause at the nation's cap- ital. The $100,000 building is slowly but surely nearing completion. It will be a monument to the untiring energy of these three men. Hampton Night at Bethel Literary. Bethel Literary and Historicai so- elety under the presidency of Pro- fessor Garnett C. Wilkinson is making a grand record this year, Hampton (Va.) institute night was recently cele- brated with most appropriate exer- cises. The Hampton society in Wash- ington, of which Mr. F. D, Lee is president, arranged to have Principal Frissell of Hampton present as the | chief speaker. Dr. Frissell’s address was full of sound educational advice and was re- ceived with enthusiasm by the large audience. President Thirkield of How- ard university introduced Dr. Frissell In an appropriate speech, telling of the great educational strides Hampton has made under the administration of Dr. Frissell. Miss Elvise Bibb, superintendent of the social settlement work among col- ored people in Washington, gave a very interesting account of the work she is carrying on in southwest Wash- ington. This is the center of Negro population of the nation’s capital, and Miss Bibb has proved herself to be the Jane Addams of the race in the exceiient manner that she is conduct- ing her work. Other speakers were Professor W. T. B. Williams and Major R. R. Mo- fen, both of Hampton. Professor Wil- Nams is field agent of the Slater edu- eational fund. Major Moten {is com- mandant of Hampton. The musical part of the progritm fncladed numbers by the Hampton institute glee club and the Howard untversity orchestra. Two other meetings of Bethel were quite noteworthy. Also Professor L. M. Hershaw of tse United States land oflice, formerly one of the editors of the Horizon, delivered a very scholarly adcress on Joan of Are. Mr, Her- shaw is a deep student of French his- tory ari guve to the audience the ben- efits of his years of research study of that attractive and romantic figure in Buropean history. Business night at Bethel was held on the 29th. Hon. R, R. Horner, one of the leading colored lawyers of the District of Columbia and member of the school board, made the address of the evening. It was a masterly effort and showed that Mr. Horner was fully in sympathy with the movement to ad- vance the facilities for business edu- cation for the colored children of Washington.

Ladies' day was recently observed by the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, which has a large membership in Greater New York and vicinity. President Francis F. Giles presided over the opening exercises, and the literary program was in charge of Robert E. Waddell. Mrs. Benjamin Williams was the prinicpal woman speaker. Her subject was "Woman's Sphere." She said in part: "We should stop and think, not on the equal suffrage question, but how to make the world better. There was never a time when good women were more needed than now, women who live decent, honest, God fearing lives. There is too much for us to do to be worrying about voting. After we have taught the husbands and sons how to vote we have done our duty. "Woman by overstepping her bounds has lowered man's wages by working cheaper than he. She has lost the high respect he had for her by doing the same things he does, bringing her into too common contact with him. Woman has been in the great wars, not to fight, but to administer to the wounded." Charles Diggs gave an instructive talk on "How the Negro Should Meet His Present Condition." Dr. J. B. Sampsoa of Pittsfield, Mass., a North Carolinian by birth, briefly spoke of the days of reconstruction, in which he was a prominent leader. The reply to the complimentary things said of him and the reception he received from the society, he said, "is an evidence of the appreciation of the rising generation for the old guards who have braved the jaws of death in their just contention for manhood rights." Assistant District Attorney McDougall of New York county also gave a short talk. The musical selections were given by the Misses Waddell and others in a very pleasing manner. Madam J. M.

The following members have been assigned to par- ticular duties in conection with the entertainment, and the whole mem- bership will serve as reception and entertainment committees. With coal going up, larger interest attaches to the prize contest, which this year will eclipse all others.

E. church last Wednesday night under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Brotherhood. It was one of the most successful musicals that has been heard here for quite awhile. It was an occasion when a distinct def- inite line could be drawn between an amateur and a master of his art. And that line, distinct as it is, is always descernable even to the ordinary lov- er of music. Mr. White was welcomed before a most appreciative audience and the artist very faithfully interpreted for us the classic design of Mendelssohn, the tuneful romanticism of Schuman and d’Ambrosia, Wagner's mythical vein and the charming elegance of the Belgian Vieuxtemps. He played the Mendelssohn Con- certo with a plan and finish which in- variably puts an audience at ease. This was especially noticeable in the cadenza. His Schuman’s Trammerie was somewhat original and smooth and rythmica! and his interpretation ‘Was decidedly pleasing. | Van Goen’s difficult scherzo was played with dash and vigor and it brought forth tremendous applause. But in the finale number the “Fan- tasie Caprice” of Vieuxtemps, Mr. White appeared at his best. His in- terpretation and execution was glori- ously happy and pleasing. It is seldom in the field of artists that we meet a personality so grace- ful, so sincerely consistent, yet so charmingly unobtrusive. Mr. White attracted many new acquaintances and he made a lasting impression. Mr. White was ably assisted by Mr. Lawrence Whipp, who also accom- panied tim. Mrs. Lillian Jones, by Morgan T. Jackson. Mr. Whipp’s piano renditions caught a generous round of applause, and the singing of Mrs . Jones and Mr. Jackson was classy. Denver people have a fuller appre- ciation of Mr. White’s work because of hearing him two years ago. He has grown greatly. He has studied under one of the world’s great artists since then and has profited. H now enjoys the distinction of being the violinist of the race, of the most ap- proved art and most widely traveled. He remains in this city until Mon- day, when he goes to Colorado Springs to fill an engagement. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. | Moral Keelan. “Seeing Santa,” a cantata, at Camp- bell chapel Tuesday night, Dec. 27, 1910. This will be the best Xmas program of the city.

WHITE The Need of Intelligent Leadership In Religious Affairs Is Engaging the Attention of a Number of Afro-American Clergymen In the South. Influence of Bishop Walters. It is encouraging to note the propaganda being disseminated by a number of Afro-American clergymen in the south for a better educated ministry, especially for a better ministry in the rural districts of the southland. Prominent in advocating for this timely advance is Rev. George L. White, D. D., pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. Zion church, Wilmington, N. C. Whenever there is a commercial movement organized to enhance racial interest to relieve certain sluggish conditions which impede the progress of our people Dr. White is foremost in M. REV. DR. GEORGE L. WHITE. giving impetus to such efforts that will make race work a desirable element in the world of industry. In teaching his congregation the value of observing civic laws he is doing a commendable work. A prominent feature of his activities is his manly and uncompromising stand for the rights of all men. He accepts every opportunity to proclaim the gospel that does not prescribe one man for the selfish motives of another. In this he is an ardent disciple of Bishop Alexander Walters. Because of his ability to contend for the high ideals that make a people a power for the developing of a Christian civilization he has achieved success in the various fields in which he has labored. He is one of the foremost ministers of the race and a prominent character in the lawmaking body of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination. - prominent feature of the North Carolina annual conference, Bishop Alexander Walters, D. D., presiding, was the unusual large reports made by the ministers. Dr. White closed a successful year's work at his church, which is among the leading churches of the connection. During the year he raised $7,- $17.58 and canceled an indebtedness of $1,500. Every department of his church is thoroughly organized, and his recent report for the year was unprecedented in the annals of St. Luke's church, to which he was returned. As a preacher he possesses a unique style of modern oratory and a personality that effectively wields an influence for the greatest good. His response to the mayor of Tarboro, N. C., who welcomed the recent annual conference, elicited favorable comments from citizens and the press. Dr. White has pastored with innate ability in churches in the following cities: Asheville, N. C.; Rogersville, Tenn.; Tampa, Fla.; Elmira, N. Y.; Petersburg, Va.; Edenton, N. C., and Boston. He has also acceptably served as presiding elder of the southern Mississippi conference. Atteeting his popularity and fitness to represent his denomination at a representative body of churchmen, he represents the Third Episcopal district of his denomination at the ecumenical conference of all-Methodist churches in the world, which convenes in Ontario, Canada, October, 1911. Miss Wade to Be Principal Speaker. Miss Blanche Wade, one of the most promising young public school teachers of Brooklyn, will be the principal speaker at the next meeting of the Concord Literary circle. This will be the first meeting for the new year, and the date is Thursday evening, Jan. 12. The program will consist of vocal and instrumental music and dramatic readings. Why Real Estate Val. Decline. Those who think that the presence of thrifty, intelligent colored people in a community is the cause of a declination in real estate values are sadly mistaken. The real cause is not color, but deep seated prejudice on the part of those who are wedded to color discrimination. EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS. Federal Aid For Colored Schools Advocated by Professor Ellwood. Professor Charles A. Ellwood of the sociological department of the University of Missouri is a firm believer in the doctrine of federal aid for industrial schools for Afro-Americans. In a recent lecture in the public library of the university he is reported as having said: "It is just as much the duty of the federal government to provide for the education of the Negro as it is to provide for that of the Indian. Industrial education is the salvation of the American Negro, and properly equipped schools for giving it to him can come only through federal aid. I doubt, however, whether southern states would be willing, in their present frame of mind, to accept federal aid for such an enterprise if it should be offered." Professor Ellwood showed by vital statistics that in spite of a high death rate the Negroes of the United States were increasing in number. He said the criminal Negro was being eliminated gradually by a process of natural selection. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS.

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. POPH.

PHONE MAIN 7905. 4 PAGE 3, THE GREATER GIFT. In Christmas time there is a gen- eral exchange of gifts and more than at any other time of the year man- kind is unselfish. The few will be sorry that they are not able to do as their more prosperous neighbors, but the many will be happy that they can make others glad. Yet this class of giving is of the earth, earthly. It is material. But there ‘is a gift so transcendently beautiful, so far above price, so imperishable, one that re- joices the giver and one that helps the recipient the most. We speak of charity. This is not a preachment founded upon Bible texts, nor in- junctions of philosophers, but is in- tended as a matter-of-fact appeal to all to consider how happy they would be if each could have the goodwill of the others. The misrepresentations which we all suffer from, the harsh criticism we undergo when we make the errors to which humanity is prone, the innuendoes that pass as frankness, are all begotten of a lack of good will. Generally speaking, the persons who lend themselves to their doing are not evil-minded. They do not mean to destroy happiness. This is the “greater gift’ we urge. Give of your good will to all man- kind. Let gossip halt at your door- step and be repeated no further. It is usually a grain of truth lost in a bushel of falsehood. kKemember that perfection is not at- tained even by yourself, so that your good will to your neighbor in his day of error is only what you yourself will need some day. If you are more perfect than some, the greater credit is yours because your gift is greater than the one you receive. That large class of people who say brutal things, things that wound, call- ing themselves frank and parading their criticisms as a virtue, are thoughtless. Culture and civilization have long since discarded the idea of punishment for the sake of getting an eye for an eye. Punishment should be corrective. Mean people are not right in even speaking the truth about others’ fatilts. The motive is the thing! In short, in this Christmas time, out of our own experience, we all know that good will is the “greater gift.” It is at every one’s command. Let us give largely of it in this sea- son and from this time forth. COMMENDABLE PROGRESS. The Ft. Russell News reports a re- cent concert given by the regimental band under the leadership of Wade H. Hammond. The comment upon its tousical perfection is gratifying, but most pleasing of all is the report of the growth of the band and its prog- ress. Where Mr. Hammond found the band depleted by a Philippine tour and with obsolete instruments, he has been able to equip it through the government and private sources with the: best of instruments, twelve hundred dollars of that expense being above what the government has done. YHE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO: The zeal of the band itself is shown by their pooling their money for this purpose and their devoting the pro- ceeds of concerts to that purpose. The band has been recruited by extra effort and personal solicitation of Mr. Hammond until now it has its full strength. The presence of a number of men in the band from this section makes its progress of more than passing in- terest. EFFECT OF STATE FAIRS UPON THE COMMUNITY. Exhibitions In Columbia US Bates- burg, S. C., Were Well Attended. As a promoter of state fairs on a large scale the Rey. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C., has few equals and no superiors. The recent exhibition in Columbia was a great success in that {t has awakened a deeper interest on the part of the white people in the work and achievements of our people along material lines as shown at the Columbia fair. The fair in Batesburg, held just after the one in Columbia, was largely at- tended. The exhibition of farm prod- ucts of various kinds created a help- ful impression upon the visitors, who came from many sections of the state. Besides the literary features of the oc- easion, gospel meetings were conduct- ed nightly under a big tent conven- fently arranged for that purpose. The bringing together annually of so many persons of both races in a busi- ness way has created a greater desire among the people for mutual co-opera- tion and helpfulness. Rey. Mr. Carroll is a pioneer in work of this kind and seems never happier than when he is engaged in doing something which will tend to elevate the masses of our peo- ple in his section of the state. Be has given much time and study to the plans for the successful development of state fairs, and those conducted by him are of the highest type. Mr. Carroll's co-operation in the man- agement of the Batesburg fair shows to what extent he {is interested In mat- ters which are intended to acquaint the white people of the community with the progress which is being made by the colored people in industrial pur- suits and educational uplift.

A recent turn of events has given to the Building Laborers' Union No. 2. the white union, the work on the Federal building. The differences in the building trades council is the modus operandi whereby colored men are being discriminated against in the building trades in Denver. A statement appeared in this paper a few weeks ago to the effect that a jury recently convened in Trinidad was the first colored jury in this state. We are since informed that 11 years ago in the case of accidental death by fire of a mother and two children, J. T. Gunnell, now deceased, was foreman over an entire colored jury here in Denver. Among the sick are Wm. Garrett, who is recovering; Mrs. Griffis is ill with tonsilitis; Jos. Pennington, who was dangerously ill, is some better; A. B. Burdine is sick; J. W. Cooper has a bad cold; Father Turner continues no better, and Mrs Hawkins of Marion street is confined to bed. Thos.
