ELABORATE SOCIAL FUNCTION Twenty-Second Year ELABOR SOCI F BON VIVANTS' ANNUAL DINNER. At Dania hall on Tuesday evening the Bon Vivants gave their annual dinner to their ladies. Twenty-three couples were present and they one and all say of this dinner that it was the best in the history of the organization which already enjoys the unique reputation of a superlative place in the social circles of Denver. For months there has been gathering expectancy over this affair. The gowns which the ladies would wear, the service, the viands, the music, and even the songs dedicated to the club members, were all the occasion of great care by experts in the various lines. The thoroughness of their preparation was attested by the unanimous acclaim they have received now that it is over. No little of the perfection of the dinner is ascribed to the delightful setting with which it was surrounded. The best efforts of those in charge were supplimented by a box of decorations peculiar to California, sent on by Chas. L. Wicks. The exquisite china, the sparkling cut glass, the linen, were all that money could supply. But words are beggared to describe the guests themselves. The gentlemen were graceful in their full dress, while the ladies vied with the roses in the shimmering beauty of their gowns, and were themselves a most beauteous sight. The art of the modiste, the jeweler and the florist were exemplified as seldom in this city. The menu was the best in the ten years of the club's existence. It was: Dry Martini Cocktail Canape of Anchovies Dry Martini Cocktail Canape of Anchovies Olives Celery Consomme Bellevue Mint Oyster Pattle, a la Curtis Salted Nuts Hot Rolls Rye Whiskey Supreme of Capon, a la Contee French Peas Sweet Potatoes, Harper Pol. Rogue Champagne Scotch Whiskey Salads, Bon VI Vant Club Salted Sprays Pineapple Ice Cream Fancy Cake Roquefort Cheese Demi Tassi Cigarettes Apollinaris Cigars --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 4, 1911 The conclusion of the feasting was marked by a further unfolding of the decorative plans. The guests were provided with vari-colored streamers which they threw from opposite sides of the table over invisible wires, making an arbor of color through which could be seen the palms surrounding the table. Music was discoursed a evening and the floors cleared for dancing at the close. REV. MRS. A. E. EDWARDS The Y. M. C. B. will have another treat Sunday at 4 p. m. in a paper by Mrs. A. E. Edwards, subject "Thinking Self and Exalting Christ." Mrs. Edwards is one of Denver's most fluent women speakers and always has something to present in a special manner. Don't fail to hear her. It is highly probable that the Y. M. C. B. will be represented at the state Y. M. C. A. convention at Ft. Collins next week. Sunday, Feb. 19, will be a day for men only at Y. M. C. B., when Jim Goodheart of the Sunshine Mission will speak very vitally concerning the important questions of men. DEBATE AT LITERARY. Messrs. Rice, Skinner, Ward and Briton will debate the question, "Resolved, that the price in human lives of aviation is too great." This is one of the questions of the day and the young men promise a good discussion. Next Tuesday at 8:30 p. m., Shorter chapel. PROMINENT UNION MAN HERE. One of the visitors who came to the city to participate in the anti-Whitford parade was A. A. Bratton of Colorado Springs. Mr. Bratton is the secretary of the Miners' union there and is prominent in Socialistic circles. He is mentioned as a likely appointee as coal mine inspector under the state administration. After only a few days' illness with pneumonia, J. W. Morris, familiarly known as "Dude" Morris, passed away yesterday morning. The funeral was in charge of Undertaker Lawhorn. State Historian & Nat ural History Society To the ministers and members of the Colorado Conference, in sorrow bowed: It pleased the Great head of the church on Sunday morning, Jan. 22, 1911, at 10:15 a. m., to call from labor to reward our beloved and honored chief commander and leader, Bishop Abraham Grant, D. D., a man full of the Holy Ghost and a natural leader of men, a sound and safe counsellor of national reputation. At a council of the bishops present in Kansas City, Jan. 26th, it was proclaimed that in order that suitable respect be paid to the memory of this distinguished prelate, all the churches throughout the Fifth Episcopal district be draped in mourning for 30 days. In addition to the foregoing decree, I, as presiding elder of the Rocky Mountain district, set apart the third Sunday in February, that being the 19th day, as a suitable time to hold a memorial service in honor of our fallen hero, and I therefore ask all the ministers and churches in the bounds of the Colorado conference to observe said day in such a way as the occasion demands. Further, I wish to call attention to the fact that before his death, Bishop Grant called to his bedside Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D., of 3312 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Ill., and handed to him the reins of the government of the Fifth Episcopal district, requesting him to take charge for the time being. Orders coming from him we shall cheerfully obey and you may direct all communications intended for the Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District to Bishop H. B. Parks, 3312 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Ill. Yours with respect, By order of Bishop H. B. Parks, Acting Bishop. GOOD BUSINESS FOR SALE.

Henry Barnett and wife, from Toronto, Canada, are in the city, stopping with Mrs. Williams of 700 Twenty-ninth street, for the benefit of h health. He is the superintendent in charge of the dining service of the Grand Trunk lines in Canada, and overwork causes him to take this vacation. NOTICE. MAN FIVE CENTS A COPY INVENTION OF A ROTARY ENGINE. There is going on in this city what may be an epoch-making effort. Jas. Mackey of 2745 Welton street, whose participation in other inventions we have noted in these columns from time to time, is perfecting a rotary engine. He is using a workshop at eighth and Wynkoop and the capital for the venture is being furnished by citizens of Steamboat Springs, where Mr. Mackey has been for some months. Everyone is familiar with the mechanism of the ordinary steam engine, which is the movement of a piston confined in a cylinder because of the expansion of steam introduced into alternating ends of the cylinder. A rotary engine would be one in which the internal parts would rotate, actuating a shaft directly and not through the complicated mechanism of a crank shaft as now. Such an engine has been the dream of the ages, and its successful operation would be the greatest advance made in mechanics in decades. Only one such engine has ever been operated, and it was no signal success in inefficiency as measured by present type of engine. Mr. Mackey expects to have his initial engine ready for test in a short while. PROVISIONS OF BISHOP GRANT'S WILL. The will of Bishop Grant will show in his death he was mindful of the work he attempted to do in his life, so it is reported from Kansas City by intimate friends of the dead prelate. Excepting a few bequests made to personal friends, and life interest in property bestowed upon relatives, he has bequeathed the bulk of his property to Paul Quinn College of Waco, Texas; Waters College of Jacksonville, Florida, and to the Preachers' Home of Colorado Springs. He made no bequest to Western University of Quindaro, Kansas, because of the large assistance it is already getting from the state. The Bishop had large holdings in San Antonio, Texas, so large that a street in that city is named after him. One provision of the will deeded to the city of San Antonio a plot of ground which was essential to the beauty and completion of that street. The Bishop had valuable property also in Florida, his native state. However, it was Texas, the state of his longest labor and his early prominence, that had the largest share in his affections. A grand musical and oratorical concert, given by the young men of Bethlehem church Thursday evening, Feb. 9. Come one, come all. Jelly good fun for all. Program begins at 8 p. m. sharp. Admission 10 cents. M. L. M. HERSHAW, ESQ. Through Georgia, and again the din ers stood and cheered and sang. Mr. Johnson's speech was his first speech to a Washington audience. Throughout his address there was a tone of sincerity and earnestness that went home to his hearers, and his remarks were the subject of most favorable comment. Mr. Johnson traced the history of peonage legislation and prosecutions in this country; showed how in his early legal career he brought the first case where it was attempted to apply the peonage laws to southern conditions; how he was in that early day called a dreamer because of that case and then congratulated himself that he had lived to see the day when the highest tribunal in the land, the United States supreme court, upheld the very same contentions that he once fought for. Mr Johnson paid a high tribute to the United States supreme court and paid especial compliments to that body for its recent decision in the Alabama peonage case. The great Republican leaders from Lincoln to Taft, the speaker said, he reverenced. Prior to the addresses a delightful menu was served by Caterer E. Murray. Musical selections were played by the Wilberforcian orchestra while the banquet was being served. The menu and music were as follows: MENU. "Good digestion wait on appetite And health on both." Soup, Bouillon. Olives. Pickles. Boiled Rock Fish, With Egg Sauce. New Potatoes. Claret. Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce. Sugared Potatoes. Green Peas. Dinner Rolls. Roast Smithfield Ham, With Champagne Sauce. Champagne. Ice Cream Neapolitan. Fancy Cake. Fruit. Black Coffee. Cheese. Crackers. Clgars. MUSIC.

An aftermath consisting of wit and song was arranged by Robert Pelham. The following "stunts" were carried out: "The Machine; or, A Masterpiece," monologue and song, Mr. T. Spencer Finley; "The Charge of the 'Link' Brigade," a parody, Mr. F. H. M. Murray; "In Fifteenth B. M. C." topical song, Mr. R. G. Doggett; "Who's Who and Why; or, A Question and Answer," solo and chorus, Dr. A. S. Gray; "Subcommittee's Work Is O'er," like unto "Barbara Fritchle's," a parody, Mr. Shelby J. Davidson; "Auld Lang Syne." Mr. Robert A. Pelham, collaborator. THE STATESMAN—10 The Johnson-Slaughter banquet will ever be remembered as one of the greatest of all Washington banquets. Thomas Sawyer Gets Heavy Damages. The fact that the first case brought in the local courts under the new employers' liability law was successful has aroused keen interest on the part of all classes of laborers. A jury before Justice Morschauser in White Plains recently awarded $15,000 to Thomas Sawyer, nineteen years old, who lost his leg in the aqueduct tunnel by an accident Oct. 21. Sawyer, who is an Afro-American, was employed by the Dravo Construction company, a Pittsburg corporation, which is building one of the tunnel sections. Sawyer's attorney, Eugene F. McGee of 154 Nassau street, asked to have the case rushed to trial in order that the new law might be tested. His application was granted. Bishops' Council Will Show Results. It is predicted by officials and prominent laymen of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the forthcoming session of the bishops' council, which will be held for two days-Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8-in Mobile, Ala., will surpass in interest and real work any held for a decade. PROGRESS IN EDUCATION. National Religious Training School Needs More Room For Students. At the January meeting of the board of trustees of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president, reports were read which showed that the school was in excellent condition in all departments of its work The need or greater facilities for the work of the school was a prominent feature of the session of the board. Bishop George W. Clinton, D. D., offered a resolution, which was unanimously passed by the board, to the effect that the substantial progress of the school demands an increase of buildings and other facilities to meet the needs of the work. The resolution empowers the president to appeal to the public for liberal support for the institution, which is filling a peculiar need for the people for whom it is disseminating a wholesome atmosphere for the greatest uplift. Owing to the large number of applications that are being received for the many departments of the school two more dormitories, a larger auditorium and a special building for the medical training of missionaries for home and foreign work must be erected as soon as the funds are in hand. It is the consensus of opinion of those working for the bettering of conditions among the race that the missionaries should receive the very best training. The influence of the school is already being felt in a number of states, and students from five states have enrolled. There are nearly 100 boarding students, with a like number of day students. President Shepard was authorized to proceed as soon as funds are available to erect two brick buildings. The board unanimously and enthusiastically passed a resolution thanking ex-Governor Glenn and Judge Peter C. Pritchard for their great interest in the work, which has been a potent factor in the present success of the institution. The summer school and Chautauqua, which will begin about July 5, with special courses, will be largely attended, and the lectures will be the best of their kind ever given at an institution for the race in the south.

One of Denver's fast and clever bantam weight boxers is Bob White, who helped to put Kid Bruce, Young Gans and several other young boxers up in the business. Kid White will box Young Herrera of Kansas City ten rounds the first of March, and will go in training with Kid Bruce, who is already down in Kansas City. THE OZARK CLUB WANTS A GAME. The Five Points Social club wants a whist tournament and a pool tournament. They prefer the R. M. A. Club, as they think they would have a walkaway. BILL TO SAVE BOXING GAME. St. Louis, Mo.—Missouri fight fans from all over the state are in high glee rallying to the defense of a bill introduced in the legislature last Wednesday, which is intended to legalize boxing matches of ten rounds. The bill provides for a boxing commissioner at a salary of $2,400 per year, to be appointed by the governor. All of the big sporting men of Missouri will go to Jefferson City to urge the passage of the bill and it is thought that some of the Denver sports will try the same dope of having boxing legalized to six or ten rounds in this city. BASEBALL PLAYERS. ATTENTION All amateur ball players in Denver who desire any information about the Negro National Baseball League of America, which has been organized of eastern and southern cities, will do well to see Lloyd Hall, as he is one of the best in the Wst, and played ball on the city league as catcher for Lewis team and was also the back stopping kid for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club team last year, and this year we find that his name has been placed on the eligible list with the Chicago team, although he will probably try out with the K. C. Giants, as they are in need of good baseball catchers. The organization of this league will give young ball players all over the country a chance to prove what they could do in fast company. There were none of them better than you at one time, and they pay good salaries, so it is quite a business. Catcher Lloyd Hall is taking much interest in baseball and has recommended some of Denver's best players to the big managers of the league teams. WOMEN DONNED THE MITTS. Bessie Martin of Oklahoma and Nel- THE STAGE lie Bennett of Chicago fought six fast rounds last week at Tulsa, Oklahoma, before a crowd of 700, mostly women. The fight was called a draw, but the Chicago girl had the better of the bout. SAM LANGORD ABROAD. Sam has gone and left the boys, but not for long. It is said that he went to London to box Bill Lang, and a few more of their prides over there. Langford is supposed to be back in this country in a very short time to box Jack Johnson at Jack O'Brian's club in Philadelphia for a side of $10,000 in a six round contest. JACK JOHNSON MAY STOP HERE. Watch the Denver daily papers next week, as we have asked Jack Johnson to stop off a day in Denver while he is on his way to the coast to train for his fight with Al Kauffman.

A white soubrette with a clever piccaninnie company is Miss Mamie Remington, who has just signed contracts for thirty weeks on the Sullivan & Considine circuit. Little George Braxton is the star pick, a wonderful kid tumbler, and the others in the company are Katie Hunter, Harry Irons and Jamees Sesnell. They play Denver the first of April at the Majestic. FRANK MONTGOMERY & CO. The clever straight comedian, Frank Montgomery, and his bunch of Dixie Flyers are now engaged for the next half year, playing the best circuits and with one of the cleverest companies on the road. BLACK PATTI & CO. Madame Patti and company are still playing the southern states, with much success. John Larkins, comedian, is still bringing down the big noises and the company will come West next season stronger than ever, as the madame wishes to retire year after next, which will be her seventeenth year. KID COTTON LOSES TO TONY ROSS. It has come to the place where everybody is catching Kid Cotton's goat. Once more he loses to one of the second rate fighters, Tony Ross. It was a hard fought battle, and Cotton should have brought home the change, but he was like a lot of fighters; he thought that he had a walk-away with Ross until that same party put him in the land of dreams. CORBETT'S NEW WHITE HOPE. Warren Barbour is another one of Jim Corbett's white man's home. Barbour is a millionaire athlete and also the amateur heavyweight champion of the world. Corbett is trying to persuade Barbour to come out and save the white race. THE STATESMAN—12 DENVER PERSONALS.

The Newest Note In Race Persecution. Segregation by compulsion is the very newest note in race persecution, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Baltimore has such a law, designating where an individual may live. Just as well say what an individual may eat or drink. The city fathers of Baltimore evidently got a-going and could not stop. Comer on Relation Between the Races. In his recent message to the state legislature Governor Braxton B. Comer of Alabama has the following to say concerning Afro-Americans: "Between the Negro and the whites there have been less friction, fewer murders, fewer assaults, fewer lynchings, than ever before, and the Negro has made advancement. This is due to two causes-prohibition and temperance laws and to the advance in the price of cotton. There is no question but that liquor is bad for the Indian and for the Negro, and I myself believe that there is no exception that it is bad for all."

After each concert the men are allowed to dance with the fair sex of Cheyenne and Ft. Russell 'till the wee hours o morn. Great times, too, believe me! A large eight-page program that is printed and engraved by The Statesman will be in evidence at each concert. It is full of advertisements o the leading merchants of Cheyenne and Ft. Russell. Some class to the 9th Cavalry band. The band plays concerts Saturday afternoons and evenings at Truckey's department store in Cheyenne. These concerts are the talk of the West.

Our regimental band will give their weekly concert at Troop I's quarters Thursday, February 3, 1911. TROOP M. On Saturday, January 28, 1911, Troop M, 9th Cavalry, gave a grand ball in their barracks, which was largely attended both by the soldiers, their families and citizens from Cheyenne, Wyoming. The squad room used for the occasion was large and spacious and afforded ample accommodation. The strains of music commenced at 7 p.m. and ended after midnight. The music was directed by Sergeant Oliver, of the Ninth Cavalry band. Refreshments were served in the dining room. Nothing was lacking on the occasion. The non-commissioned officers' school in Troop M is now in progress and they have completed several subjects creditably, and beginning with THE STATESMAN—18 February they take up cavalry drill regulations. Sergt. Mucker, Troop M., was discharged on January 28th and re-enlisted January 29th, and continued as sergeant. The Military Lodge No. 150, A. F. & A.

MACON COUNTY AN EXCEPTION Noted Educator Makes Sweeping Investigation of the Situation and Gives Reasons For the Belief He Holds In Respect to the Many Needs For Better Facilities. In discussing the need of better educational facilities for the colored people in the south and with special reference to those in Alabama Dr. Booker T. Washington says: I have seen considerable discussion in the Alabama papers bearing on the question as to why the majority of the "black belt" counties have during the past ten years lost population. An examination shows that it is those counties that have no large cities that have decreased in population. Macon county, however, is an exception, for instead of losing population it has during the past ten years increased in population. In my opinion there are reasons for this. I may not be able to state all the reasons, but I think I know at least one or two reasons why Macon county has gone forward in population instead of going backward. So far as the Negro race is concerned, I am quite sure that Macon county has gained in population because the county board of education has been wise enough to encourage and help the colored people to have good public schools in the country districts of the county. The average white man does not realize that, no matter what else the average Negro will do without, he wants education for his children. I am not taking time now to discuss the wisdom of all the wants of the Negro, but to state why there are few Negro families in Alabama who would be content to live from year to year in a country community that provides no public school or a school taught in a log cabin for three or four months only during the year, and that with a very poor teacher at its head. This condition means that the Negro family becomes restless, dissatisfied and seeks as soon as possible to better its condition, and to do this it moves to a community where school facilities are better. I do not believe that the leading white people, and especially landowners of the "black belt" counties, know how little money some Negro schools receive. I actually know of communities where Negro teachers are being paid only from $15 to $17 per month for services for a period of three or four months in the year. This, of course, means practically no schools. In making this statement I am not overlooking the fact that even where the disposition exists to help the Negro public schools the money is often lacking to a large extent, but I am stating facts so far as I know them. More money is paid for Negro convicts than for Negro teachers. About $46 per month is now being paid for first class, able-bodied Negro convicts, $36 for second class and $26 for third class for twelve months in the year. One other element in the situation that drives Negroes from the farms of the "black belt" counties is this: In many of the "black belt" counties when a Negro is charged with a crime a mob of wild, excited and often intoxicated people go scouring through the country in search of the Negro. In many cases it happens, as former Governor Jelks frankly stated, that the wrong Negro is caught and often lynched. There have been happenings of this kind in the country districts which have made many of the best colored people feel that the safest thing for them is to move to a large city where they will receive police protection in case they are charged with crime. The experience of the civilized world shows that even where the utmost care and deliberation is exercised on the part of lawyers, judges and jury innocent persons are sometimes pun- THE STATESMAN—2 ished. In the face of this experience it is impossible for a wild, frenzied and excited mob of people to pass judgment upon the guilt or innocence of an individual. In my opinion if the Negroes understand that their public schools in the country districts are gradually going to be improved as fast as the state can do so and that they will receive police protection in case they are charged with crime in the country districts as they do in the cities then the best colored farmers will cease moving from the country districts into the cities. In Macon county there are good schoolhouses and reasonably good teachers. This is true, I think I am safe in saying, for both races. Ask any white man in Macon county, and he will tell you, I think, that since Macon county has had good public schools it has a more orderly and lawabiding Negro population, that labor is much easier to secure and that the colored people work better than they did before. In addition to this, Negro public schools in Macon county have teachers who teach about the things by which they are to earn their living. In addition to teaching the children with books and about the Bible, they teach them how to farm, how to grow vegetables and how to raise poultry, pigs, fruits, etc. They also teach the girls something of cooking, table service and sewing. The result is the whole community through the school is taught to love country life and to respect labor. Since the state of Alabama is going to spend money on the education of the Negro child I believe it will be better to see that this money is looked after closely and is wisely spent so as to produce good results. Certainly, so far as "black belt" counties are concerned, if they would pursue the policy Macon county is pursuing they would have a Negro population that would be a continual source of usefulness and strength to the whole state. Another reason why I think Macon county is in such good condition is because the Negroes have good sense enough to realize that they have certain duties to perform themselves—that all the responsibility does not rest with the white people. There are few Negroes in Macon county who do not co-operate with the officers of the law in order to get rid of lawbreakers. There are few Negroes in Macon county who would refuse to assist the sheriff in ferreting out crime and bringing criminals into a court of justice. And the Negroes of Macon county also co-operate heartily with the school officials in building up and sustaining good public schools. We have no race problem in Macon county. We have no race friction. In talking with the sheriff of Macon county a few days ago he told me that there is so little crime in Macon county that he can scarcely find enough to keep him busy. Banquet to Editor Murphy Postponed. The big banquet which was to have been given in Baltimore the last Monday night in January in honor of John H. Murphy, the veteran editor of the Afro-American Ledger, has been postponed until Feb. 24. The change was made in response to the request of a number of those who wanted a date set when it would be possible to attend the function. An added feature will be an informal reception, following the banquet, at which the ladies will be present. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former minister to Liberia, is chairman of the general committee arranging for the big "feed;" Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times, secretary, and Councilman Harry S. Cummings, treasurer. Compliments the Amsterdam News. The Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate pays the following compliment to the Amsterdam News upon the occasion of its first anniversary: "The Amsterdam News, published by J. H. Anderson at New York, is just one year old and a precocious youngster it is too. Already it has a circulation of 5,000 and carries a lot of good looking advertising matter. On its editorial staff we find such veterans as T. Thomas Fortune, George W. Harris and E. A. Warren helping Mr. Anderson to think things."

WHAT THE SCHOOL HAS DONE Institution In Center of an Enormous Population In the Old North State Offers Liberal Opportunities For the Education and Training of the Masses of Colored People. By R. W. THOMPSON. Newbern, N. C. An institution that is attracting national attention because of its unique location and the unusual promise it offers to the race is the Newbern Collegiate Industrial institute, founded eight years ago at Newbern, N. C., by Rev. A. L. E. Weeks, a graduate of the Shaw university. The school is in the center of the "black belt" of the state, the population of which region, according to the last census, was 370,101. Of this number 259,071 were colored, living within a radius of less than sixty miles. This radius includes twenty counties of the state and parts of adjoining counties, bringing within easy reach of this institution a total population of more than 300,000. The school was incorporated under the laws of the state of North Carolina in March, 1902, and the first session was held in the fall of that year, opening with a faculty of three teachers and an enrollment of thirty-five pupils. After eight years of incessant struggle, gathering strength by sheer merit, the institute had one double story frame building, 40 by 65 feet, with assembly rooms and four classrooms, and one double story church building of brick, 42 by 72 feet, with an ample auditorium and provisions for additional classrooms. These buildings and grounds as they stand are worth $12,000. W. D. Pedipher, a well to do colored man near Newbern, has donated twenty-five acres of wooded land, the timber from which will bring a goodly sum. W. W. Hayes has charge of the farm. Although Mr. Hayes was holding a lucrative berth at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., he saw great possibilities in the undeveloped land of eastern North Carolina and promptly accepted the assignment. The present enrollment at the school is over 200, and since its establishment nearly 1,000 well trained workers have gone out to carry the torch of enlightenment to their less favored brethren. The faculty numbers nine and will be increased from time to time. As nothing succeeds like success, good luck seems to be following the institution day by day. The plan of correlating the intellectual training with the industrial, with provision for the moral and spiritual needs of the race, has met the heartiest approval of the most influential white citizens of North Carolina, and many of them are actively serving on the institute's board of trustees, interesting others in its welfare. Former Mayor James A. Bryan, president of the National bank of Newbern; J. J Cooke, Hon. A. D Ward, attorney at law; Hon. E. H. THE STATESMAN----6 [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his chest]. PRESIDENT A. L. E. WHEES. Meauows, Hon. T. A. Green and United States Senator F. M. Simmons, all of Newbern, are members of the board of trustees, giving the school a "home indorsement" that cannot be discounted. The 1,000 acres of land recently acquired are estimated to be worth $50,000 and are in a high state of cultivation. Three additional buildings have been purchased, bringing the building valuation up to $19,200. Dr. Weeks will not rest until an endowment fund of at least $500,000 is in hand. He will feel that he has at last "the Tuskegee of North Carolina." The enthusiastic faculty supporting Dr. Weeks is made up of Mrs. Annie E. Weeks, wife of the founder, who is giving her life to the work and is a living inspiration to the young women of the community and, like her husband, a product of Shaw university; Mr. Hayes, from Tuskegee, a farm expert and master of the soil; Mrs. Julia A. Foster of Syracuse college; Miss Nina B. Wilson of Elizabeth City (N. C.) State Normal school; J. L. Cooke of the Newbern Collegiate institute, Miss R. A. Williams, Miss Carrie E. Waugh, Miss Lillian Louise Battle and Mrs. Clara C. Cooke, each eminently capable of handling the branches included in their several departments. Hesperia Social Club's Initial Dance.

In the fight for honest elections that is now being waged by the different political organizations it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There was a time when, no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp of "G. O. P." he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargain. But that is all changed, and now to obtain the assistance, whether small or great, of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty, capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or faction.

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."

BANQUET FOR TWO NOTED CITIZENS Recorder of Deeds Johnson and H. P. Slaughter Honored. L.M. HERSHAW TOASTMASTER. Grand Social Function Given In Appreciation of Men Who Have Made Good In Public and Private Life. Sweet Music and Beautiful Decorations Gave Zest to the Diners. Washington. - Echoes of the joint banquet recently tendered Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, also deputy grand master of Odd Fellows, and Henry P. Slaughter, editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal, are heard on all sides. The banquet was held in the spacious auditorium of Odd Fellows' hall, on M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The decorations were elaborate and at the same time very appropriate. The electrical display consisted of an illumination of a large Odd Fellows' shield and links made of many colored electric bulbs. Large United States flags and patriotic bunting decorated the walls and hung from the panels. The citizens and the Odd Fellows of the District of Columbia were the hosts. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Henry P. Slaughter were the guests of honor. Besides the guests of honor there were present as honorary guests Grand Master Edward H. Morris, former Grand Master W. L. Houston. P who is now an associate justice of the Odd Fellows' supreme court; Hon. Harry S. Cummings, attorney general of the Odd Fellows' supreme court, and G. H. Shechy of Florida, a grand director of the order. A most distinguished body of men sat around the banquet board when Toastmaster Lafayette M. Hershaw called the banqueters to order and announced that the toasts would then THE STATESMAN—7 be neared. William I. Lee, a promising young attorney and an Odd Fellow of high standing, made the welcome address. Mr. Lee's remarks were felicitous and were warmly appreciated. Mr. Sheehy of Florida complimented the local folks on getting up such a fitting testimonial to Messrs. Johnson and Slaughter and brought greetings from the far south. Toastmaster Hershaw presented Hon. Harry Cummings of Baltimore, calling attention to Mr. Cummings' recent ef- J. forts in the Baltimore city council, of which he is a member, to defeat the segregation ordinance. Mr. Cummings' speech was one of the gems of the evening. In true oratorical style he spoke of the progress of the colored people of Baltimore, paid tribute to the guests of the evening and spoke encouragingly of the order of Odd Fellows. When Grand Master Edward H. Morris arose to speak he was greeted with much applause. In his characteristic calm and cool headed style Mr. Morris spoke for fully ten minutes and charmed his hearers by his bright and witty references to the guests of honor. The orchestra struck up "My Old Kentucky Home" as Henry P. Slaughter, one of the guests of honor, arose to speak. The banqueters stood and cheered and joined in singing the song. Mr. Slaughter, well known as a wit, proved a splendid after dinner speaker. "It's worth paying the price," said Mr. Slaughter, "to be a speaker at a Washington banquet. For fifteen years I have been taking a part in Washington banquets, and this is the first time that I have been one of the speechmakers." Mr. Slaughter spoke of his newspaper experience in Kentucky, his native state, and in North Carolina and later here in Washington. He called upon the men present to lend him their assistance in his efforts to make the Odd Fellows' Journal what it ought to be. "While I am editor," said Mr. Slaughter, "the columns of the Journal shall be open to the humblest as well as the highest in the order." "I present to you a lawyer of high standing, a man who has the qualities of statesmanship. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia and deputy grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows," were the closing words of the toastmaster as he presented Mr. Johnson.

PHONE MAIN 7905. SPEER AND THE SENATE. A portion of the Democratic press of the state is alarmed lest the election of United States senator shall come after a coalition of Republicans and Democrats with Mayor Robert W. Speer as their choice. Also there is a considerable sentiment among Republicans that the election of the mayor would effectually rid the party of its strongest opponent in the coming city election and pave the way for Republican victory in the fall. The point of view accounts for the difference in motive which would be ascribed should such happen. Democrats opposing Speer would cry "bribery," while Republicans would say it was "political expediency." At first glance it would seem that the Republicans would be justified in such a course. No doubt that with a Republican in the city hall as mayor, we would win the next city election, and thereby win in the fall. It is a temptation to adopt such a course. But are we willing to pay the price? Shall we sacrifice the good reputation we are earning? Just now the Republican party under the leadership of President Taft is handling the delicate matter of the reciprocity treaty with Canada. The president is urging its ratification in the expectation that it will effect a material cut in the price of several leading articles—lumber and the like. Here at home Republican officials are few but such as still hold office are reflecting credit upon their party by their conduct. A Republican minority in the legislature has kept itself clean amid the most disgraceful corruption of a public trust. Party machinery is powerful, but the confidence of the people is also a great asset. There will be no criticism whatever of our party in supporting any Republican, and we will go into the next campaign with accumulated strength. On the other hand, the Democrats will not come out of this senatorial contest without schisms. These with their miserable record in the legislature and in the various state offices will be a sad handicap for them to meet even though they have the backing which office gives. By all means we hope for the elevation of Mayor Speer, but we hope no Republican compromises his party by voting for him. AN UNPROVEN ACCUSATION. Labor Tries to Influence the Courts and Legislature. Judge Whitford, who sentenced certain union labor agitators for violation of an injunction of his court, is being bitterly assailed. Without investigation, and upon preconceived ideas, he is accused of being an unjust judge. That is not fair. We easily understand why union labor does not like the present laws under which injunctions are granted, but unless Judge Whitford has interpreted them unfairly, or has exceeded his rights, he is not to blame. Labor should distinguish between the sys- --- THE STATESMAN-8 MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months .. $ .50 Colorado, as second class mail matter. tem it dislikes, and the man. A demonstration such as the parade on Thursday will do great harm to labor's cause, should the legislative investigation find that he has simply enforced the law as it is. In the meanwhile, colored people can well afford to consider the fear and trembling with which the daily press has discussed this matter, and compare it with the loose speaking which characterizes the papers where we are concerned. Labor, right or wrong, is up and doing. We poor fools are blind, are happiest when we are tearing down the standing of each other. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME. The objects of the "SOUTHERN LAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY" are being developed along the lines of self-protection to the Negro element based upon a solid foundation, where the rights of all mankind are equal, each with the other, be he white or black, yellow or brown, and it is for this reason that after due and careful consideration of conditions existing in the Republic of Mexico, and after having consulted the leading element in said Republic, men of the highest standing in the country in which they live, we have concluded that we have found an abiding place for the Negro, where he can take his stand amongst men, and enjoy to the fullest extent all the liberties of the Mexican citizen, and be fully supported in his endeavors, in his occupation, and in his just and peaceful pursuits, by the government of Mexico itself. With these conditions defined, to our satisfaction, we believed and still believe, that the opportunity for the self-advancement of the Negro population is before us, and therefore, we concluded in order to secure an opportunity of embracing all the advantages offered, to commence our work amongst our colored brethren, in free, careful, and unbiased manner in order to surround, each with the other with full protection in the movement we have undertaken and of which success must crown our efforts. We have, therefore, secured what is conceded to be one of the safest (if not the best) investments that has ever been offered, in the United States of America, or other civilized country, and our booklet will favor you with complete and full information covering lands controlled by our SOUTHERN LAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, and which we are now presenting, as refers to investment, for the consideration of our colored friends, and we desire to make special mention of the important fact that each and every statement in said booklet is based on actual facts, and not on fiction. We furthermore guarantee that an investigation of these lands will be found to be better than represented by us, and therefore, as our property is an improved one—as our means or PRIZES FOR BEST COS FANCY DR DANIA PRIZES FOR BEST COSTUMES GOOD MUSIC FANCY DRESS PARTY THURSDAY GIVE Progress Court, Mrs. Laura Hill and Mrs. Albert Co.
