7905 THE NIN HAS TO FI The Departure o for the South tion on Them. THE NINTH HAS GONE TO FRONTIER The Departure of the Cavalrymen for the South Fixes All Attention on Them. The departure of the soldiers from Fort Russell, Wyo., has centered the interest of the Negro citizens of the United States upon the maneuvers at San Antonio, Texas, no less than the mobilization of one-fourth of the United States army has interested our white neighbors. The regiment numbers nearly 600 men, and was entrained in four sections. It was nearly a week after the first orders for departure were received before the railroads could furnish accommodations for men and horses. During that time after the first excitement of packing was over, the men were on a tiptoe of expectancy, whether the move to the Mexican border foreshadowed simply maneuvers, intervention in Mexico or war with Japan. The temper of the veterans of the Philippine and Cuban campaigns and the older men of the Indian wars, was that the Ninth would acquit herself with credit in any event. The more adventurous looked forward with equanimity to the worst as an opportunity for glory and advancement, and the more sober prepared themselves to do their duty as became soldiers with approved reputation. The new recruits with little knowledge of the hardships of a campaign were full of wonder as to what the outcome would be. They alone furnish the problem of the regiment, for they are numerous and need time for acquiring the rudiments of drill, as well as imbibing the sterling discipline which means coolness under fire and effectiveness. The reason for this lies in the discharge a few years ago of a large number of men at once whose time of service neared three years, so that the regiment while in the Phillippines would not be decimated by frequent discharges. However, the hope is held that they will come up to Ninth Cavalry standard. It was an inspiring sight to see the veteran sergeants and other non-commissioned officers of the various troops bring the chaos of preparation into order, so that the debarkation into camp will be easy. Good humor prevailed everywhere, broken only at times by the sorrow of some loved one left behind. The wives and sweet-hearts of the men made a large throng at the depot where they bid a long farewell. Then with many a tear, many a cheer and a universal waving of hands, they were off, maybe for peace, maybe for the glory of war. A larger interest rests in the Ninth Cavalry than in any other colored regiment, for it is the one with the only commissioned officer of our race. Captain Charles Young, og Troop I, commanding the third squadron of the regiment, consisting of Troops I, K, L and M, by virtue of his seniority, was in charge of one section. His presence will mean much for the morals of the whole regiment, for, contrary to the opinion much expressed that Negroes do not fight well under officers of their own, the Statesman representative found the opinion universal tha for a man of the tried courage and ability of Captain Young, the last man of the regiment would lay down his life in obedience to orders. Doubtless part of this high regard has come to the captain from an appreciation of his qualities as a man, for unlike many men who rise to heights unusual for members of their class or race, he is an unassuming man, a lover of his race, a worker for it, whether it is in Twenty-Second Year PHONE MAIN ITH GONE RONTIER of the Cavalrymen Fixes All Atten- the depths or emerging onto the heights, an intellectual and moral gift whose fondest hope is to do something that will reflect credit upon his people. It was a pleasure to see men not only of his troop, but of the whole regiment and even of the townspeople, defer to his judgment and rely upon his help when they could do no more of themselves. Should perchance the worst come to the worst, the eyes of the Negro world will be fixed on the Ninth Cavalry and our captain. A BIBLICAL DRAMA. The St. Mary's Altar Guild of the Church of the Redeemer presented a Biblical drama and a series of Biblical tableaux at the Peoples' Presbyterian church Thursday night. The drama was enacted by a large cast with the Azalia Hackley Choral club forming the invisible chorus. The drama dealt with the birth of Christ, portraying the journey of the wise men of the East and the birth of the Babe, up until the time of the giving of the gifts by the wise men. The tableaux were such as Ruth and Naomi, Rock of Ages, Jephtha's Daughter and others of like poignant interest. The production, which comes largely from the efforts of Father Brown and Mrs. Edward Allison, was smoothly done, the young ladies participating acting and speaking with the manner and intonation of trained elocutionists. Growth of Theban Literary Society. The Theban Literary society, which was organized in the spring of 1910 by Mr. John E. Bruce in Yonkers, N. Y., has a membership of sixty. At the last meeting of the society, in February, the members and visitors were given a rare treat by Mr. Ernest Braxton, who exhibited a number of pen sketches and crayon portraits, which were among the best the young Brooklyn artists has thus far produced. Fourteen of the number shown were sold, and orders for special subjects were secured. Mr. Braxton is now at work upon several portraits of some noted men of the race, which when finished will greatly add to his collection of paintings. MARYLAND LEAGUE ACTIVE. Annual Meeting to Be Held in Baltimore March 20. The Maryland Progressive league, which will hold its annual meeting at Sharon Baptist church, Baltimore. March 20, will probably formulate a policy which will touch upon some of the things most vital to the interests of the race in the state. Delegates from all parts of the state are expected to be in attendance. Among the things on the tentative program for discussion are the race segregation measures, the rural schools and the improvement of the race as an economic and industrial factor. Mr. John Henry Smith, one of Baltimore's most representative citizens, is the president of the league.

Murphy Fittingly Observed. FUTURE FOR RACE JOURNALS. Men Prominent In Business and Professional Life Pay Homage to Successful Publicist, Churchman and Ex-Soldier, Who Says Race Needs an Uncompromising Press. Baltimore. -The great advance that has been made in race journalism during the past twenty-five years and eulogies of some of the men responsible therefor were among the features of the big banquet and reception given at Nazarite hall, Baltimore. Friday evening, Feb. 24. In honor of the seventieth birthday of John H. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American Ledger. The banquet was attended by men prominent in the business and professional life of Baltimore, besides a number of persons prominent in professional and business circles in Washington. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings was the toastmaster. Among the toasts responded to were: "The Medical Profession." Dr. P. J. Taylor, Philadelphia; "The Legal Profession." C. C. Fitzgerald of the Baltimore bar; "The Ministry." Rev. W. A. C. Hughes; "Our Business Men." Harry T. Pratt, president of the Baltimore business league; "Our Women." W. C. McCard; "Education and Public Opinion." Professor Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Baltimore colored high school; "General Newspaper Correspondents." R. W. Thompson, former president of the National Negro Press association; "Our Guest." Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times; "The Local Reporter." Franklin F. Johnson. Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of Morgan college, this city, spoke on "The College and the Newspaper" and Dr. Whitfield Winsley on some "Pioneer Race Journals." In his address Mr. Macbeth said that a Negro daily was an absolute necessity. He also spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Murphy as a journalist. The Rev. Hughes said the race paper would grow more influential as time goes on. In introducing Mr. Murphy Toastmaster Cummings spoke in glowing terms of the honored guest's services. In a brief address Editor Murphy said that a great future was in store for Negro journalism if only capable men are supported by the people. He spoke of some of the hardships that he had endured in starting out in the work and said that a tremendous advance in the quality of Negro papers had been made within the past seven years. He said that the conditions now surrounding the race made a strong, reliable and uncompromising race press imperative. Letters highly complimentary to Mr. Murphy and to the great influence he has wielded in race journalism were received from well known men in other sections of the country. Among these letters were the following: Dr. Booker T. Washington: "There are few men in any race who have rendered more unselfish, constant and useful service than is true of Mr. Murphy, and we should honor him to the fullest extent. There are two elements in connection with this banquet that please me immensely—one is we are honoring a man while he is living, and the second element is we are honoring a man of our own race." F. Thomas Fortune, the Nestor of Negro journalism, wrote: "I very much regret that I shall be unable to attend the banquet in honor of my good friend Mr. John H. Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger. Such a testimonial is eminently beffitting. Mr. Murphy's work as a journalist measures the period of greatest growth of the power of the Afro-American press, and in that growth he has been a constructive force for high thinking and right leading in the broadest sense." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, secretary of the Association For the Advancement of the Negro, New York, "I wish very much that I could attend the dinner for Editor Murphy, whose labors I greatly appreciate." N. Barnett Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association, New York: "I exceedingly regret that I cannot be present at the banquet tendered in your honor on the evening of Feb. 24. I cannot, however, refrain from expressing my high appreciation for you and the good you have accomplished for the race by your exemplary life and high ideals. "Accept sincere congratulations upon this the seventieth anniversary of your birth. I regard your work as a journalist and your life as a Christian gentleman as an example of the heights to which we as a race may attain by education, industry and persistence." Dr. J. H. N. Waring, former principal of the Baltimore high school, now a practicing physician in Washington. "Few men have earned such a testimonial more than Mr. Murphy has few newspapers have such a standard of journalistic decency as the Afro-American Ledger has, and few colored editors have pursued a course so uniformly free from partisan cant and personal abuse." Sunday Schools to Meet In Providence The eighteenth annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention, of which N. Barnett Dodson is president, will be held with the Sunday school of the Congdon Street Baptist church, Providence, R. L., for two days, beginning on Tuesday morning, June 13. The convention is composed of the Sunday schools of the churches of the northern and New England states belonging to the New England Baptist convention. Mother's Day Nursery to Reopen. At the February meeting of the Lincoln Settlement association held in the interest of the Mothers' Day nursery in Brooklyn, plans were perfected for the reopening of the nursery early in March. The officers of the day nursery department of the Settlement association are: President Dr. V. Morton-Jones; vice president, Mrs Alice Wiley Seay; secretary, Miss Gertrude E. Johnson; assistant secretary, Miss Catinerine E. Washington treasurer, W. Russell Johnson. EFFECT OF ROOT'S SPEECH. Foreshadows Plan of Campaign For 1912, Says John E. Bruce. John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., the well known newspaper correspondent, author and politician, expresses his opinion of Senator Ellin Root's recent speech in the United States senate against the election of senators by popular vote of the people in the following language: "The future of the Negro is beginning to look brighter. I regard Root's warning to the south to quit its foolishness and give the Negro a fair show as a call to arms of the good hearts in this nation to take the field and fight for the preservation of the law and the constitution. "The Republicans cannot come into power again except on the Negro question. Carter and Root and Depew have already in their speeches foreshadowed what the plan of campaign will be in 1912." SOCIAL LIFE IN OTHER CITIES each them delivery by PHONE MAIN SOCIAL L IN OTHER LA JUNTA, COLO. The Missionary society of Hubbard chapel was organized by Mrs. Bond March 3rd. Mrs. Bond was elected president, Mrs. J. W. Winchester, secretary, Mrs. James Scott, treasurer. Rev. Bond preached a good practical sermon Sunday night. Those who failed to hear him missed a spiritual treat. Mrs. Slimms and daughter Henrietta left for Colorado Springs Saturday, Mrs. Lenox, the nurse, accompanied them, returning the next day. The H. A. club was entertained Thursday afternoon by Miss Berry at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Grant. The usual pleasant time was had. Dickens was the author discussed. Refreshments were served. Mr. John Marshall left for Denver Sunday, returning Tuesday. Mrs. J. P. Watson passed through the city Saturday en route to her home in Pueblo from Hannibal, Mo. Claude Gulliford passed through the city Tuesday night en route home to Sterling, Kans., to be at the bedside of his father, who is not expected to live. The friends of Mr. Grant are glad to see him out again after a short illness. Mr. Tom Carney is having his home nicely painted and otherwise improved. He is one of our substantial property owners. One of our respectable colored ladies was knocked down on the streets Tuesday by a burley drunken white man. He was promptly arrested and fined. What a different story we would have had to relate had the lady been white and the man a negro. CHEYENNE, WYO. The revival is still going on. Many souls are being brought to Christ. Rev. Scott, being handicapped with a severe cold, has done some marvelous work in Cheyenne. Mr. H. D. Robinson departed for an extended visit in Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Ada Scott, wife of the evangelist, arrived Saturday evening to be with her husband. The majority of the Ninth Cavalry departed Saturday for Texas. Cheyenne looks forsaken without them. We hope they will soon return. FIVE CENTS A COPY 7905 LIFE N R CITIES TRINIDAD NEWS. Mrs. Johnson Seymour departed this life March 2nd and was buried from the A. M. E. church Sunday at 2 p. m. Rev. Chas. Henry, pastor of the Baptist church, officiated. There were many relatives present from Colorado Springs and Kansas. The deceased leaves a loving husband, son and daughter, father, mother and brother, who were present at the last sad rites. Mr. Seymour has the sympathy of the people who knew his loving wife. Miss Georgie Seymour left for Colorado Springs this week. Dr. A. J. Hathaway and wife are in the city. The citizens wish them a long and pleasant stay in our midst. Columbine Lodge No. 4, aided by a few ladies, stole a march on Rev, Brown on Tuesday night. While he went to the hall to give boys wholesome advice, these former came to the parsonage, bringing with them everything from a dishpan to a side of fine bacon. Rev. Brown returned home at a late hour to find his home quite different from the way it was at the time of leaving. He invited the brave boys to repeat their visit as early as possible. Mrs. J. H. Brown and daughter arrived on 3 with Miss Pearl Lewis from Douglas, Ariz. The members and friends gave them all a cordial greeting. The rally at the A. M. E. church, March 5th, was beyond the expectation of pastor and members. The pastor tickled the ears of everyone Sunday night when he gave $50.00 cash and besides held in reserve $75.00 to await further action of the new church. The clubs did remarkable. The rally wil close Sunday night. Miss Pearl Lewis, the sister of Mr. E. J. Lewis, is stopping with Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Brown. She is a young lady in whom the city has great delight. Rev. J. H. Brown has been selected to preach the K. of P. sermon on March 26, at which time Bright Star No. 4 of Raton, N. M., will join with Columbine No. 3. The K. of P.s expect to make this the banner day over all other similar occasions. Rev. J. H. Brown has done a great work with both the lodges. As a Mason he towers near the heights of a y man. The same is true with him as a K. of P. In the latter he holds a commission as supreme deputy of Arizona and New Mexico. The revival will begin at the A. M. E. church on the 16th of April. Rev. J. P. Howard, the evangelist, will be present. The pastor has already had many additions to the church, but the coming of Rev. Howard is expected to be a great and lasting benefit to the city. Mr. J. H. Booker keeps quite feeble. Mrs. Anna Tuckford has been down with pneumonia, but is up at present. SPECIAL Y. M. C. B. SERVICES. The Y. M. C.

Advocate says: "We continually hear complaints from churchgoing people, both saints and sinners, of the manner in which the modern day preacher entertains his congregation. The Advocate believes that there should be more teaching by the preacher and less whooping of the good things and good times that we will have when we reach the pearly gates. "The people are starving for bread and they are getting stones. The Bible is full of material for all kinds of in- struction, and no man should essay the role of a preacher or a teacher until he is able to expound to an intelligent public the things most helpful and needful in life." Now, really, we do not believe that the Advocate meant to ascribe the above to the modern day preacher, else it would have put in a modifying clause in the first sentence. The modern day preacher is one who seeks to instruct his congregation by intelligently explaining the meaning of the Scriptures with a view of winning men to Christ. This at least should be and we believe is the primary aim of the modern day preacher. MARCH OF CHRISTIANITY. It Knows No Race or Nationality, Says Dr. William A. Creditt. Speaking at the first meeting in March held under the auspices of the Lemon Hill association in Arch Street M. E. church, Philadelphia, in the interest of colored people, Dr. William A. Creditt, president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, said: "The Negro believes in that Christianity which has a religious system that knows no race or nationality. Unlike all other systems, Christianity is a missionary system that must make a conquest of all lands, races, people and religions. "The Negro believes in that Christianity that has as its motto, 'The world for Christ,' the Magna Charta of which is, 'Go preach my word.'" RISING MUSICAL GENIUS HEARD IN SONG RECITAL Professor Reynolds of Normal, Ala., Captivates Large Audience. Under the auspices of the Climbers, a well known social and charitable club of Birmingham, Ala., Professor Thomas H. Reynolds, director of music in the Agricultural and Mechanical college, was recently presented to a large and appreciative audience at the First Congregational church in a song recital. Mr. Reynolds so delighted his audience that he was forced to answer three encores and promised a return engagement. He appeared four times, giving a repertory that embraced some very difficult classical productions, among them being "Zuelgnung," by Strauss; "Botschaff." by Brahms; three of Lohr's garden songs; "My Dreams," by Tosti; "Mother o Mine," by Tours, and "Before the Dawn," by Chadwick. This appearance of Professor Reynolds before one of the most intelligent and representative audiences of the south brings to the public eye one of the most promising musicians of the race. In the reorganization of the Agricultural and Mechanical college under the new management Mr. Reynolds is one of the important officials, having direct charge of all the music, which in most southern schools is a very important portion of the training. He is a product of the Indiana State university and for three years studied at the well known Oberlin Conservatory of Music. He carries a very strong recommendation from C. W. Morrison, director of music at Oberlin. Mr. Reynolds also studied voice culture under the eminent Herbert Haroun for three years. In the Oberlin music circles he was prominent, being for a portion of the time a member of the Second church choir, which work he relinquished to do solo work for the white Baptist church choir of Oberlin. During his three years at Oberlin he was a member of the high class and exclusive Musical union. His work at Normal is above the average for southern schools not making music a specialty, and he is the proud possessor of a lovely tenor voice.

AFRO-AMERICANS IN GULF STATE Many Have Won Distinction Along Certain Lines of Industry. RECORD OF NOTED LAWYER: Progress of the Race In the Land of Flowers Within the Past Ten Years Has Been Remarkable—I. L. Purcell as Student, Master Mechanic, Attorney and Politician. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Jacksonville, Fla.—The progress of Afro-Americans in Florida for the past decade has been remarkable. Scattered throughout the farming districts and in the large cities of the state there are to be found many individuals who have won special distinction along their special line of industry. In this respect Jacksonville has been especially fortunate in having in its midst Counselor I. L. Purcell, who has taken an active interest in most all good movements for the uplift of the race. In matters which require extraordinary legal ability and business fore-sight Lawyer Purcell has been a blessing to our people and has also won the respect and admiration of the white people by his honest and uncompromising methods in defense of the race. This has made the way easier for other members of the legal profession in Jacksonville and the state at large to obtain a respectable hearing before the courts in behalf of their clients. After receiving his preparatory training at Biddle university Mr. Purcell entered South Carolina university by competitive examination and graduated with honors in the class of 1876. Soon after graduation, while casting about in his mind for the best way to begin his career as a professional man, the Florida Southern railroad was in need of a well rounded mechanic. He at once took advantage of the opening, as his previous training also fitted him for the position. With headquarters in Palatka, Fla., Mr. Purcell served the railroad company with ability and satisfaction as J. ATTORNEY L. L. PURCELL. master mechanic for one year. It so happened that the senior member of the law firm having charge of the legal interest of the Florida Southern road, Attorney P. B. Calhoun, was an alumnus of South Carolina university. Lawyer Calhoun at once became interested in Purcell and employed him as law clerk and notary for the firm. His knowledge of the law relating to railroads was so thorough that he was employed by the company as special counsel. His special duty was to look after damage cases, of which he handled many with great success. His influence was widely felt in railroad circles, and his services were sought by other concerns far and near. During Counselor Purcell's residence in Palatka he built up a large law practice. Although the majority of his clients were among the large white corporations and other business concerns, he never once neglected a call for service from his own people. Soon after Jimcrow cars were put in operation in Jacksonville Mr. Purcell came to the city and with J. Douglass Wetmore instituted proceedings to test the legality of such a law, which only served to disturb the peaceful relations between the white and colored people of the community. Counselor Purcell has figured in some of the largest criminal and civil cases which have come before the courts since his residence in the state. Out of 117 cases argued by him before the supreme court of Florida only three were decided against his clients. The Jeter case, which involved title to property valued at $250,000, was won by him. In this case the opposing counsel consisted of five of the leading lawyers of Florida. Among the other prominent positions held by him were: Fourteen years chairman of the Republican executive committee for Putman county; sixteen years one of Palm Beach's city aldermen and a number of times delegate to the Republican national convention. Mr. Purcell's office is in one of the leading office buildings of Jacksonville and is among the best furnished offices, having a large and valuable library. SHREWD BUSINESS MEN. Some Features of the Williams Cigar Company in Tampa, Fla. By M155 MAYMIE G. WILLIAMS. Tampa, Fla.—Perhaps there is no city of similar size in the United States which has a greater number of cigar factories than Tampa. Realizing the necessity for business enterprises among Afro-Americans, Messrs. R. L. and J. Andrew Williams about four years ago took advantage of the opportunity open to them and organized a company for the manufacture of cigars. The difficulties in the line of supply, equipment and competent helpers were soon overcome, as the managers themselves had a thorough knowledge of the art of cigarmaking The Williams Cigar company has long since passed the experimental stage and has become a reliable and progressive fixture in the business life of the community. The company has a large daily capacity for supplying its patrons. It hires a number of cigar makers, besides its office force, and also has agencies in the various states. The J. ANDREW WILLIAMS. two story factory building of the concern located on Scott street reflects credit upon the thrift and industry of the promoters of the enterprise. A novel feature of the establishment is the instruction department, where boys and girls are taught how to strip tobacco, make and pack cigars. Many young men and women who have served their apprenticeship in this department are now holding good paying positions with other large manufacturing concerns. J. Andrew Williams, manager of the company, is a young man of much ambition and business sagacity. He believes in the possibilities of the race to organize and make business ventures succeed. The race must engage in business along profitable lines of industry, says Mr. Williams. The bettering of conditions among us must come largely through self help. Individual effort is one of the strongest levers by which colored Americans may uplift themselves and ultimately bring the masses up to a high standard of efficiency in the business world. KING'S DAUGHTERS' ANNUAL RECITAL AND ASSEMBLY Home For Aged Colored People Principal Beneficiary of the Circle. For nearly a quarter of a century the Willing Workers' Circle of the King's Daughters has been engaged in philanthropic work in Brooklyn. One of the principal beneficiaries of the circle for over a decade has been the Home For Aged Colored People. The vernal and autumnal entertainments of the organization are always largely attended by the general public. The people seem eager to contribute to the institution through this source. The twenty-first annual recital and assembly of the circle will be held at Prospect hall on Monday evening. April 24. The proceeds will be donated to the home, an institution which has proved its worth in the community. Many prominent persons from out of town will take part in the musical and literary program. Among the participants will be Mrs. Louis Alston Burleigh, Miss Beatrice Rhelnhardt, Master Eugene M. Martin, Miss Helen Hagan, Messrs. Dabney, Wilson and Tuck (trio) and Mr. Melville Chariton. At the conclusion of the musical program Mr. Henry Strange, assisted by Mrs. Louise A. Burleigh, will present the second act of the well known play "Ingomar." Plans For National Aid to Education. In its first annual report, recently made, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People announces its intention of taking an active interest in the reapportionment of congressional districts during the year. A national committee will be organized, and the association will formulate plans to extend national aid to education. New England Baptist Convention. The thirty-seventh annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, of which the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia is president, will be held in Providence, R. I., about the middle of June. The sessions of the convention will be held in the famous old Congdon Street Baptist church, Rev. Dr. S. W. Smith pastor. Elson's History Facts Not Up to Us. There is absolutely no justice in faunting the facts revealed in Dr. H. W. Elson's "History of the United States" into the face of colored women of the present. The relations which existed between former slave masters and their female servants is a question which reflects solely upon the morals of the slave masters. It is not up to us. THE STATESMAN—3 AGRICULTURISTS VISIT COLLEGE Interesting Sketch of the Work Which Is Being Done by the Agricultural and Mechanical College in Greensboro Under the Able Supervision of President James B. Dudley. Greensboro. N. C.-The North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College For the Colored Race, located in this city, has become, under the most excellent administration of Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the institution, one of the best equipped colleges of its kind for the race in the state. This college has one of the best faculties for its peculiar needs in this country. Dr. Dudley is among the leading educators of the race and is a man who is truly devoted to his profession. This has been demonstrated in his life of excellent accomplishments. He is highly esteemed by both white and colored people in North Carolina because of his ability to reach the inner life of his people. This fact was strongly evidenced at the farmers' conference recently held for four days at the institution. This was the second annual conference, and the attendance and enthusiasm of the large number of farmers attending were indicative of an unusual interest on their part. Every section of the state was represented. Among the prominent farmers attending the sessions were: S. W. R. Slade of Wake county; J. F. Lytle, Oliver Peeler and Professor Stinson of Mecklenburg county; W. R. Richardson and Rev. Quick of Anson county; R. W. Alexander, L. W. White, Al Russell and Benjamin Walker of Carabrus; Haywood Williams and A. J. Degraffenreidth of Chatham county. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the president on the opening day, Professor J. H. Bluford, director of the agricultural department, welcomed the farmers. Professor Conover of the state department of agriculture began the lecture course by thoroughly arousing the vexers of the soil on the subject of "Dairying In the South." "The Common Diseases of Live Stock" was the subject of the lecture by Dr. B. B. Bowe, assistant state veterinarian. From the many queries answered by him this was a vital subject to the farmers. During the afternoon of the first day instructive talks were given by J. K. Lytle, S. W. R. Slade and others. On the second day farmers from many parts of the state increased the number in attendance by the scores, and the lectures and practical demonstrations during the day afforded them an opportunity that they had been seeking for years. A clinic of sick animals by Dr. Flowe and a lecture by Professor Conover were given. The people of the rural districts were deeply interested in the comprehensive talk of Professor C. R. Hudson, state agent for the farmers' co-operative demonstrative work, bureau of plant industry, Washington. A number of farmers in a straightforward manner spoke of their success with their particular methods and their problems. Mr. W. R. Richardson of Anson county said that during the past year he had made on twenty-three acres of land 16 bales of cotton, 300 bushels of corn, 170 bushels of wheat, 190 bushels of oats and had sold $100 worth of pigs. S. W. White of Cabarrus county had a witty way of saying things, yet they were philosophically put. Among the many practical sayings of his was the following motto: "Never let your wagon break down going away from town, but let it break down going to town with things to sell." Professor C. K. Braham of Hampton institute and Mr. Long, a former trustee of the institution, but now connected with the department of agriculture in charge of the farmers' cooperative work demonstration, by their talks reached the plain men of the soil and entered fully into the chief affairs of their activities by their talks. President Dudley and his faculty and the work of the graduates and student body were highly commended by them. The features on the program on the last day were two lectures, one on the work of the department and the other on the work of the farmers' institutes by Dr. Stedman and Professor Sherman. New Science Courses at Howard. The demand for definite courses of study in the applied sciences to meet the demand for trained colored men in electrical, civil and mechanical engineering was discussed at the recent meeting of the board of trustees of Harvard university. The board authorized the enlargement of these courses in connection with the school of manual arts and applied sciences for next year. Progress at Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A.

MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples are bald! I say up my beard. 4 years ago my hair just covered my shoulders. 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 is 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. POPB.

Don't forget the Pekin Prize Waltzing and Two Step Contest at East Turner Hall March 30. Eight big prizes and Ben Goodman's orchestra. The month of March seems destined to be the season of highest attainment in musical lines for many a year. The first event which was extraordinary was the presentation of "Creation" by the choir of Zion Baptist church on last Thursday night. The reputation of this choir was sufficient to fill the large audience room, and all felt the thrill which good music gives. The oratorio is a combination of chorus and solo work with Mesdames Pinn, Motley, Moore and L. H. Jones, Messrs. Gatewood and Clark taking the leading roles. Dr. Jones as Adam and Miss Eva Carter as Eve being the principal soloists. In the chorus there were-Misses Webster, Gatewood; Mesdames Batey, Waller Gould, Ford, Turner, Ball, Muse, Over; Mesrs. Clark, Davis, Chapman, Waller and Russell. Madam Faulkner as chistor trained the choir, Mrs. C. D. DeFrantz was organist and A. L. Madison was cornetist. The universal approval which was accorded the singers was deserved. Possibly the appreciation shown was made the greater because the audience was provided with librettos which permitted them to enjoy the beauty of thought and language as much as the tonal excellencies of voice and organ. This oratorio was an ambitious production, nothing like it having been attempted here by a church choir before. The glory belongs to it both for the effort and for the success. That it dared to try is glory itself; that it succeeded and pleased a multitude should be a source of pride to Denver. The chorister especially is to be commended. Mrs. Lucretia Burns Lamb is the mother of a ten pound boy born last week in Chicago. Word has come from Chicago that V. N. Wolfskill, the tenor and stringed instrument virtuoso, is doing well.

Thirteenth Annual Conference the Largest Ever Held In the South—Exports In Agriculture Gave Timely Instruction—Wright In Thrilling Address Says Educate Your Children. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Savannah, Ga.-The thirteenth annual meeting of the Georgia farmers' conference, recently held at the Georgia State college in Savannah, was the largest of its kind ever held in the south. There were present only a few distinguished visitors from out of the state, very few professional men for the simple reason that only a few were invited. Professor R. R. Wright, president of the state college, said that he wanted the conference to be a conference of farmers only, where all the speeches would be about farming. The only outsiders invited were experts. There were more than 500 bona fide farmers present, representing as many as forty counties. Some came as far as 200 miles. Counting visitors who were not farmers, there were about 3,000 in attendance. Next to the attendance of bona fide farmers the conference was great for the number of agricultural experts it brought together. Among these were: Professor D. J. Crosby, specialist in education for the United States department of education, Washington; Professor James M. Johnson, director of the Chatham County Model Farm; Miss Honor A. Littlefield, instructor in domestic economics in Beach institute; Professor E. Gentry, United States M. B. PRESIDENT R. R. WRIGHT. farm demonstrator; R. H. Thomas, former instructor in agriculture in the Georgia State Industrial college; Mr. R. Saussy, the largest poultry farmer in southeast Georgia; Mr. J. H. Birney, who conducts a thousand acre farm in Dodge county, Ga.; Miss Helen Pendleton, secretary of the Associated Charities of Savannah, Ga.; Professor D. C. Suggs, instructor in science at the Georgia State college; Professor L. B. Thompson, secretary of the Georgia State Colored Agricultural Industrial association; Rev. J. Dortry, a leading farmer-preacher of Chatham county, Ga. The subjects discussed were "General Farming and Farm Management," "Raising of Live Stock and Hogs," "Dairying," "Truck Farming," "The Growing of Fruit Trees and Trees For Ornament," "Buying Homes and Farm Lands," "Home Economics," "Cooking, Serving, Marketing and Laundering," "Poultry Raising," "Health and General Sanitation," "Planting" and "Tuberculosis and Hookworm." Though these subjects were discussed by experts, they were all discussed in the simplest words, with illustrations which the farmers understood. This was clearly shown in the experience meetings, which generally preceded and followed the lectures. These meetings gave several hundred the opportunity to express themselves either by telling their experience or asking questions or both. President Wright, whose personality was behind the whole conference, which he organized thirteen years ago and has gradually brought to success, delivered the opening address, which was the keynote of the conference. He said in part: We are gathered here for the thirteenth annual farmers' conference. We have not some for mere show, but we have come for work. And I want you all to join two of the hardest days' work of your lives. Here we have brought you experts who will try to help you who will not only lecture you with answer all questions and do what they can to help you earn more on your farm. We have not come merely to talk, but to instruct and inspire one another to higher standards of work and of living. And if any man leaves here without getting renewed inspiration to do better work on the farm then this conference has been in vain. We want you to be better farmers; we want to tell you what the best farmers are doing on the same kind of land you use and how they do it and want you to go back to your farm and improve it. If you don't raise but twenty bushels of corn to the acre or only a half bale of cotton and another maker forty bushels or more and a whole bale to the acre we want you to find out how he does it and do not do it. We want you to buy more if you can, and we want to show you how to pay for. And pay off the mortgage. And, above all, I want to say to you that you must educate your children. You are too poor to keep your children out of school. Keep them in all the time. It is better to pay a man a dollar or $1.5 per day than to keep your boy or girl out to do your work. Not only keep him in school, but do all you can to get good teachers and to lengthen out the school term. Do this even though you have to go down in your pocket for the money. It is better to buy the buggy, put the fifty or seventy-five dollars it costs in helping to pay a good teacher and lengthen out your school term. It will pay you better. In such practical words President Wright with an eloquence born of intimate knowledge of the farmer's life and sympathy with the farmer's struggles discussed subject after subject—the crowded alleys of our towns, our high death rate from tuberculosis, the tendency of the farmers' boys to leave the farm, etc. He had occasion to speak several times afterward, but always in the same happy vein, and he never failed to secure the most earnest attention of his audience. At the close of the conference several thousand packages of seed from the department of agriculture at Washington were distributed among the visiting farmers. Four years ago President Wright asked the farmers, "How can we reach a larger number of men and thus widen our influence—give me something practical?" Many things were thought over. Professor Wright saw that the people were poor, and he had no money with which to start, though he had very definitely in mind what he would do. He would have a state Negro fair—not a thing to merely make money, but to encourage the Negro farmers to exhibit their products and thus encourage themselves and others. He would have not only the word of praise to those who made the best exhibits, but he would give a money premium. As he thought out his scheme it grew larger and larger, and he wondered how he might do it. The history of this first fair is worth stating in Major Wright's own words, as it illustrates the real heroism of many of the real lenders of the race in the south. Said President Wright: "Realizing the greatness of the scope of the undertaking my first impulse was to do as so many of our people do—that is, go north and try to get a donation. But the more I thought of this the more I found myself getting away from it, not that I disapprove of those who secure large donations from our good white friends, but I said that I would see what the Negro could do, so I decided to organize a corporation to undertake the work. I called together some of the leading farmers and stated my plan. Upon their approval I appointed one to start the organization. "After a few weeks he gave it up, then I delegated another with the same result, and another. Having advertised that there would be a fair, I had to keep my word, so after school closed I got out, and with the help of some others I got together $2,000. But there came discouragement after discouragement. In the first place, I was sick half the time. Hoke Smith, the candidate for governor, was stirring people up against the Negro, and my friends feared for the fair; then came the Atlanta riot, etc. But we held the fair and have held three others since. We have given out $30,000 as premiums to Negro farmers and Negro women for exhibits in domestic science. We have declared three dividends averaging 5% per cent. "We have in hand every cent of the $4,000 we have collected from the people. We have paid all our debts and we have loaned to farmers over $1,280, and it all represents not out side help, but Negro self help." Important Meetings For Clubwomen. The executive board of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will hold its annual meeting in Newcastle, Pa., on Thursday May 18. The next annual convention of the state federation will be held in Bellefonte, Pa., in August. The sessions will be held in the A. M. E church. Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge is president of the federation. With the co-operation of the various clubs she hopes to make the coming meeting the best in every respect of any in the history of the organization. Confidence In Leadership Important. If the elevation of the masses of our people in the south is to be accomplished through the individual efforts of the leaders of the race a great responsibility rests on them for proper guidance and wholesome advice. Nothing will do more to encourage and inspire the masses than confidence in those who lead the way in church, school politics and business. It is possibly the most essential element in the material development of any race of people. Supremacy of Federal Constitution. There need not be any undue alarm on the part of those American citizens in the various states whose civil and political rights are being curtailed for the time being. Just as sure as the union of states could not long exist half free and half slave just so sure is the time swiftly approaching when the federal government will strike a deathblow to all unjust laws in the states which are in conflict with the national constitution. THE STATESMAN—7 LAWSON HEADS NEW MOVEMENT Emancipation Commemorative Society Formed In Washington. TO HOLD NATIONAL JUBILEE. Project Launched by Prominent Citizens In the Capital City For the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Freedom Embraces Many Novel Ideas and Tangible Features. Washington.—Steps looking toward the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation were taken recently when a special committee composed of some of Washington's representative colored citizens met in Lincoln Memorial temple, adopted plans and elected permanent officers for the carrying out of the project. Professor Jesse Lawson was elected president of the movement. Edward PROFESSOR JESSE LAWSON. L. Scott secretary, and Rev. W. W. Mayle, superintendent of international Sunday school work and member of the editorial staff of the Washington American, was appointed chairman of the committee on publicity. Plans and Scope of the Movement. The following plans were adopted: The following plans were adopted: That we create and incorporate a permanent organization to be known, styled and called the Emancipation Commemorative society, with perpetual existence; that the organization shall consist of a president, a secretary, a representative sent in the society, a recording secretary, a corresponding secretary, a financial secretary, a treasurer and an executive committee consisting of the several chairmen of the subordinate committees viz. committees on finance, program, printing, invitations, speakers, music, legislation, public comfort, publicity, decoration, art andceptions; that the society shall hold a semicentennial in 1913 commemorative programs and a public place during the last fifty years, that the celebration be held in Washington in 1913, that it be national in character and that the people from all parts of the country be invited to participate in it; that the plan and scope be as to show to the best advantage the progress of the race since emancipation; that the celebration be styled "a national jubilee in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation." Proposed Building to Be Erected. At least one building of the proposed celebration should be of a permanent structure so as to provide a place for the meeting of the annual congress. It should contain a commodious auditorium, a library containing all the works of colored authors and all of the books about colored people by whomsoever written, an art gallery where the industry of the race might be placed, an art gallery in which could be exhibited the art of the colored people of the world, an art studio where our aspiring youths might work out their creations under proper directions and a hall of fame providing a niche for the bust or slab to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, John Brown, Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Dickens, Wendell Phils, Gwen Lovejoy, Joshua R.

C.—The show, Wm Sininetta Jones, Jolly John Larkins, Jennie Pearl, H. Augustus Hall and 30 other clever performers, are making a big hit this week playing at the New Howard theatre to record breaking houses. The show is fast, witty and clever, with the scenery beautiful and costumes grand. Everybody was well pleased with the Black Pattie Co. S. H. Dudley will play in Washington the week of April 3rd at the same theatre. RAY & WILLIAMS. Hello, Pryor. We have just closed six weeks on the M. Locus time and will start on a run of ten weeks on the Church time, opening at the Casino theatre, Providence, R. I. We are trying to get a booking in the West. THE TWO JOHNSONS. Billy B. and Leona Johnson have been filling dates on the Sullivan & Considine circuit. They are well known in Denver as a very classy colored team. They will be in Chicago in a few days to play the colored houses up and down State street. AROUND CHICAGO TOWN Miss Abbie Mitchell opened at the Willard last week. The Clipper Sisters, Jessie and Della, are at the Grand, Irvin Miller and Cliff Green are doing a bright stunt at Williams theatre on the West Side. The Pekin theatre is once more playing stock with big success. Mr. Jesse A. Shipp is the fine producer, and Chicago looks for the Pekin to be as it used to be in the days of J. Ed. Green, former producer. B. H. NYE'S THEATRE BOAT. The coming season will see something new in the line of theatres. B.H. Nye, for the past few years connected with Black Patti, The Smart Set and the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, and last summer manager of the DixieKersands Minstrels, has arranged to build a big floating theatre for the tour of his Dixie Minstrels, touring as far north as Pittsburgh in the summer and as far south as New Orleans in the winter. Mr. Nye's long connection with the leading colored attractions qualifies him to organize another organization that will start immediately, and the tour of the company will commence as soon as the boats can be finished. The amount to be invested will be approximately $25,000.00. THE CAPITOL CLUB The new club that was to have opened last week on 20th street between Curtis and Champa streets, will not be in readiness before the first of the week on account of the decorations and paint. Mack Smart and Dave Strosier are going to make this new club one of the swellest clubs in the city. It will be known as the Little Capitol club. It looks like more business and I am heartily in favor with any negro when it comes to a business of his own. We need more negro business and unless ventured, nothing gained. KID GANS AND KID BELL Two former Denver boys who did some clever boxing in and around the state, are both in Salt Lake City and are boxing constantly all the time. Both send regards to friends in Denver. OLD McVICKER'S THEATRE, CHI CAGO, ILL. I was asked the other day through mail the age of the McVicker's theatre in Chicago. As near as I can find out, it was founded in 1857 by James H. McVicker and was claimed to be one of the five oldest existing BOYS MAKING GOOD. Wilbur Brickler and Clarence Holmes, two students of the Manual Training high school, will be among the ten men who will carry the colors of that institution in the Interscholastic Cross Country race, March 25. This is the first time we have heard from any Denver boys in this field of athletics. Cross country requires strength, speed and endurance, being a distance of three and one-half miles, play houses in the United States. The greatest actors of the day appeared at this house. It opened Nov. 5, 1857, with the play "The Rough Diamond" and "The Honeymoon." It was destroyed in the great Chicago fire of 1871 and the one in Chicago at present is on the same site as the old one, Madison street near State. ROSEMOND JOHNSON. The late partner of Bob Cole is now producing vaudeville of no small means. He, Mr. Johnson, has several colored acts in the East that are making good. COMING MARCH 30TH. Hear ye! Hear ye! And here you are. It only comes once a year, and this year the management wants to make the great Pekin prize waltzing and two step contest the greatest success ever pulled off in Denver. There are a large number of good dancers in Denver and there is no reason why there shouldn't be a large attendance at this affair. There will be eight grand prizes and four good judges. And there will positively be no favorites. The best couples win, matters not who they are. So if you want to get in the money, start practicing now for the great stunt, Thursday evening, March 30th. THE R. M. A. CLUB QUARTETTE Last Monday night at the El Jebel Temple the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club quartette had the pleasure of entertaining with the Colorado National Guards of Battery A. The club is now singing the eastern late hits, "That's Why They Call Me Shine," "Dearie," "Why Was I Born to Have Bad Luck?" and several others. WILLIAM E. JONES. The favorite singing comedian of the East will try out his new act called Shooply Minstrels, at Plainfield, N. J., playing three characters, the interlocutor and two end men. EARLE WRIGHT. The clever dramatic reader and vocalist, is now appearing at the New York Hippodrome under a two months contract. He is said to be a big drawing card. LANGFORD GOING TO AUSTRALIA Sam Langford, the terrible little black heavyweight who has made himself a much talked about man, will leave London for Australia in the near future under McIntosh's advice for making more money. THE COLORADO SPRINGS BALL TEAM. The Black Sox, colored baseball team of Colorado Springs, have gone into spring practice and are looking forward to bringing home the championship title at the end of the season. The R. M. A. A. team won the championship last year from the Pueblo Giants, and if everything goes all right the R. M. A. A. will win again this season. THE BAILEYS. A very neat and clever act at present playing the small houses of the East, are meeting with great success. The team was to have played in Denver a few weeks ago but was canceled for unknown reasons. But nevertheless they have made such big impressions wherever presented that it is predicted big circuits for them sure. THE STRANDED TROUPE CO. A company of players known as the Stranded Troupe has suffered some through its name. The reports of said company have proved to be quite true, although they were acceptable to the public, they just were in hard luck. CHAS. BEECHUM. The well known singing and dancing comedian, Mr. Chas. Beechum, is back again; that is, in his own home town of Chicago. He is doing a big business for Johnson and Laverys' big sensational musical enterprise. BROWN & SHEFTAL. In a new act Brown & Sheftal team opened at Newark, N. J., last week on the Morris time. The act is big and entitled the Dusky Coon. JOHNSON AND BRONARD TO RACE AUTOS.

An event to which the athletic fraternity in New York is looking forward with unusual interest is the basketball game which is to be played between the All Stars of New York city and the team of the Tenth United States Cavalry band.
