The Negroes of Colorado Should Appeal the Harris Case THE SCHOOL OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER Twenty-Third Year THE SCH OUTLO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH Sentiment Favoring Better Facilities on the Increase. STATE'S PART IN EDUCATION Growth of Prairie View Normal and Industrial College Largely Due to the Influence and Wise Management of Professor E. L. Blackshear—Texas Gives Liberal Aid: Prairie View, Tex.—Whatever one might say of the disposition of the south toward Negro education, it must be admitted that in recent years sentiment has gradually changed in favor of giving to the children of the race a better chance to improve their condition. Practically every southern state makes some provision for education beyond that afforded in the public schools. Tennessee is the latest state to make such provision, the last legislature providing handsomely for the commencement of the State Normal school in Nashville. In Texas, where more than in any other state the colored people have taken advantage of the opportunities offered and have begun to make records for themselves, the state has been very liberal. In his recent trip through Texas Dr. Booker T. Washington repeatedly called attention to the matter of providing educational facilities. Texas leads all other states, and there are more colored high schools in Texas than in all other southern states combined. The Prairie View State Normal college has been in existence since 1879. It was established primarily for the training of colored teachers. Later under the twenty-sixth legislature the name was changed to the Prairie View Normal and Industrial college and placed under the supervision of the board of directors of the A. and M. college. Its work is conducted practically along the same lines, with the possible exception of the fact that more pronounced industrial work is done. Prairie View is best known to the public by reason of the fact that Professor E. L. Blackshear, a well known educator and leader, has been its head for fifteen years and that much of its real and substantial growth is due to his wise and efficient management. While the Texas school under the management of Professor Blackshear has done good work and has made its influence felt all over the southland, there is no getting around the fact that it would have done much better work, borne much better fruit, have been able to do more real and substantial good with a more commensurate appropriation. None of the schools in the south get what they deserve or what they need when the work they are expected to do is taken into account. The same may be said of all the state schools, whether for white or black. In the first place, the legislatures are not always made up of men to whom the needs of the young people, so far as education is concerned, are paramount. Then, again, the state treasuries are not always in condition to take care of the needs of these institutions for a future period. The best that can be done frequently is to take care of the growth that has taken place instead of making provisions for the future. For example, time was when appro- printions were made for the usual accommodation of 350 or perhaps 500 students. Suddenly, in face of this provision, which was then adequate, the student body suddenly jumped to about 800, due to an educational awakening that spread throughout the south among the colored people. Churches, fraternal organizations and newspapers were crying out the need of education, and the response in the increased enrollment and taxed facilities in all the colored schools was startling. The appropriations by the recent legislature seek to remedy that situation within the next few months, and a new mess hall, capable of accommodating a thousand students, with an assembly hall above, is now being planned by Professor Terrell, the head of the mechanical department. A new dormitory for girls will also be erected during the year, which will greatly increase the facilities and relieve the overcrowded condition. That students are willing to come to an institution and suffer overcrowded conditions means much of a tribute to the work done. The need, however, in Texas is greater than in any other state in the Union. While there are church schools and private schools in nearly every important center in Texas, the students are crowding into them also, and there is no other state school in the country that has a larger or better appearing set of students. Good work is done in spite of the congested conditions and the class of equipment that most of our schools have to put up with. It must be borne in mind that state schools are handicapped often with the burden of the state name—that is to say, that an institution owned and controlled by the state cannot so readily receive aid from the generous public as other schools, the presumption being that the state is amply able to maintain them, whether it be so or not. IMPORTANT POSTS HELD BY HOWARD GRADUATES. Dean of Teachers' College Tells Where They Are Laboring. Washington.—Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of the Teachers' college of Howard university, has made his annual report to President W. P. Thirkield, D. D., LL D., on the distribution and location of the graduates of the Teachers' college, class of 1911. He says, among other things, that the demand in the modern school for professionally trained teachers in the pedagogical and practical sciences and arts is so great among the colored people that it is not possible to supply the demand made by superintendents of education and principals of high schools and college presidents. "Were the classes in our Teachers' college much larger than they are they would readily find positions of importance and large service." The following is the roll of the class of 1911 with their present positions: DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 11. 1911 HARRY C. SMITH'S NOTABLE RECORD HARRY C. SMITH'S NOTABLE RECORD Member o Ohio Legislature For Six Consecutive Years. HONORED BY SENATOR FORAKER Interesting Account of Brilliant Cleveland Editor Who Has Been a Conspicuous Figure In Republican Party Since 1894 Introduced Anti-lynching Bill In General Assembly. Cleveland, O. — The picture printed in this column is an excellent likeness of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, a self made man who has pushed his way to the front by indomitable will, energy and honest dealing. He has spent nearly thirty years in newspaper work, over twenty-eight of them as editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette, of which he has been sole proprietor about twenty-five years. He has served three terms in the Ohio legislature, from 1894 to 1902. He won a fourth nomination as state representative on Sept. 7, 1905, the only Afro-American in the north and possibly in any other section of the country who has ever received such popular recognition. There were twenty-three candidates for seven places, three being Afro-Americans. He received the second highest vote and nearly as many as the two other Afro-American candidates combined. He received a higher vote than eighteen of the twenty white candidates. Eighteen thousand Republicans voted at the primary. There are about 60,000 in the county, only 3,500 of whom are Afro-Americans. Mr. Smith received the second highest vote in 1893 and 1899 and was fifth in 1895. He enjoys the distinction of editing what is generally acknowledged to be one of our leading race journals; also of having thrice been elected over white opponents to the state legislature. On Nov. 7, 1895, when a candidate for re-election, Mr. Smith received about 3,000 votes more than the Re- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON HARRY C. SMITH. publican candidate (white) on the same ticket for common pleas judge. On Sept. 7, 1890, Mr. Smith was a second time renominated for the legislature, receiving next to the highest vote. There were thirty candidates for the eight places. His plurality on election day, Nov. 7, 1890, was over 10,000. Mr. Smith's work, personal and newspaper, in the interest of the race and the Republican party for a period of more than twenty-eight years is well known throughout the state. Measures Introduced by Mr. Smith. His most conspicuous work as a legislator in the interest of the race during his first term (in 1894) was the passage of the Ohio civil rights law. His "mob violence or anti-lynching law," which is now on the statute books of the grand old state, overshad ows all his work in the general assembly of Ohio. For four years, during the time Senator Foraker was governor of Ohio and as a result of his favor, Mr. Smith was a deputy state oil inspector. His bond of $5,000 was signed by three of Cleveland's oldest and most highly respected colored citizens. Though born in West Virginia (in 1863), he has lived since 1865 in Ohio at Cleveland, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the Central high school. No other Negro legislator the state has ever had such a splendid record for work done, the kind that is of practical benefit to the race. No other is more highly respected in Ohio than Mr. Smith. Ohio has the only effective anti-lynching law in the country, and but one or two other states in the Union have anything at all like it. Indeed, he is the only Negro legislator who has ever accomplished such work for the race. Mr. Smith has always wielded a fearless and able pen for right and truth. He has fought squarely in behalf of his race, demanding for it recognition wherever denied. Though at times he has been severely criticised, he has never varied from what he considered his duty. His recent nomination as delegate to the state constitutional convention, which is to be held in 1912, was a most signal honor. IN WOMEN'S CLUB CIRCLES.

Race Progress Noted In Bluefield. Bluefield, W. Va., is rapidly becoming a thriving center of Afro-American industry. Within the past five years business enterprises have more than doubled in number. Professional men are also locating in the town in goodly numbers. Besides the numerous grocery stores and restaurants, there are four physicians, one lawyer, two drugists and one dentist. CANON CITY, COLO The Farther Lights Missionary Society was organized Thursday night by the states missionary, Miss Lillian Smith, of Denver. The officers are as follows: Miss Dorie Wells, president; Miss N. Waters, vice-president; Mr. Tridie Span, secretary; Miss Rosabelle Parker, treasurer. Committees: Chairman of program committee, Moody Bruton; play-wright literature committee, Mr. Nep Trusty; look out committee—Miss Mable Wells, Mr. Minnie Payne; Rev. W. Branan, general superintendent. Mr. Moody Bruton has written a play entitled "The Little Missionary" for the Farther Lights Society. This is only one of his many pleasing plays. This play will be rehearsed by about the 22d of November, with Moody playing the hero part. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND COMMENTS. At the first of the bi-monthly meetings for the month of November of the People's Sunday Alliance many items of business that had been deferred from time to time were attended to. Among the most important were the report of the committee on the first lecture of the Inter-Races Congress. This address and the musical program were a source of real enjoyment to those who heard them. The attendance was a disappointment and seemed a significant comment upon the cultured and better element of the Denver people. It is hoped, however, that it was only a reflection upon the judgment of the committee in selecting the date. If this is true prove it by attending in a representative number the second of the series of Thursday evening, Nov. 23rd. The report of the committee who conferred with the president and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce was heard and the substance of their finding and opinion was published in one of the daily papers Monday, the 6th inst. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, W. A. Jones; first vice-president, A. W. Lewis, LL. B.; second vice-president, Rev. J. A. Thor-Hazell; third vice-president, Rev. J. N. Wallace; secretary, R. J. Von Dickersohn; assistant secretary, R. L. Lewis; treasurer, Wm. Hill; members of the Board of Directors, C. W. Buford, D. T. Gay, Mrs. Laura Hill, R. L. Lewis, Mrs. E. P. Ensley, I. C. McKenzie and W. S. Evans. The Board of Directors and officers are called to meet at the hall at 3:30 p. m. Nov. 26th, to outline the program for the Emancipation celebration, which occurs the first Sunday in January. A good program will be rendered on the 26th inst., it being the occasion of the reading of the second of the Historical Research papers. Mrs. Laura Hill is essayist. A report in the daily papers that a family by the name of Moore, living near Brighton, were in a frightful state of poverty and filth was investigated by interested colored people from this city and found to be untrue. Mr. Moore is in hard straits, as are others who are interested in agriculture, and who have no capital to tide them over lean years, but he has food for his children, a five-room house, three beds and the other things which one would reasonable expect to find. Luther Ganaway passed away Saturday at his home, 2121 Stout street, after an illness of over a year. He first came to the city two years ago and established a tailor shop on nineteenth street. While he made a trip South, his health failed. He tried bravely but failed to regain it. He was a member of the Pythians of Little Rock. His remains were prepared for burial by the Douglass Undertaking Company and shipped to Little Rock on Thursday. His mother came to the city recently and accompanied the remains home. He leaves also a wife and other relatives. NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST On Sunday morning at Zion church Rev. Over will deliver a sermon, taking as his theme the conditions which are confronting the Negro in securing employment and in protecting his political rights.

SOCIETY NEWS The Bon Ton Social Club has arranged to give another one of its delightful dances on Thanksgiving night at Dania hall, thus answering the oft-repeated question as to how Denver pleasure-loving people will spend Thanksgiving after the football game. It is to be an invitation affair, but Secretary Cy. Strauther says that on account of the large number of strangers that will be in the city, persons holding invitations are at liberty to invite strangers. Ben Goodman's orchestra has been employed and from all indications it is to be the event of the season. BALKED AT COLD STEEL "I wouldn't let a doctor cut my foot off," said H. D.

Twelve new members were added. The club was the source of a number of social functions to which they asked their friends to play as substitutes. The meeting of the club was smart. Miss Cooper, through her charming personality, proved an exceptionally tactful and fascinating hostess. The prizes were won by Misses Jacobs and Finley. A dinner much enjoyed and long to be remembered was given by Miss Kathryn Hubbard, one of the most popular society girls, at her home on Ogden street on Oct. 28. Hallowe'en favors decorated the house and the spirit of the witches prevailed. Mr. Hall acted as toastmaster for the evening and amusing riddles and games afforded much pleasure. Around the festive board were gathered besides the hostess and Miss Jennie Hicks, who assisted the hostess in receiving her guests were Misses Walker, Yyons, Joseph and Finley and Messrs. Marshall, Langston, Graves, May, Hall, Starks, Ward and Pinchback. Mrs. A. A. Ealy entertained at tea Sunday evening complimentary to Miss Birdle Clark and Miss Lizzle Cowan. The former goes away soon to Lawrence. The latter left Tuesday for Hot Springs, where she will spend two months and then go to Iowa to spend four months. Good goods, Large Stock.

Smith of Cleveland, O., as delegate to the state constitutional convention to be held in 1912. Realizing the necessity of having a member of the race in such an important convention, about fifty of the colored voters of Cleveland volunteered to secure the proper number of signatures to nominate Mr. Smith for the position. They had but a short time in which to accomplish the task, but they went about it with a determination to succeed. The signatures were secured from among both colored and white citizens. In speaking of the phenomenal success of this voluntary movement to nominate Mr. Smith one of the canvassers for signatures said: "We did not even have to ask or urge the men to do the work. As a matter of fact, we who were at the head of the movement did not think the necessary signatures could be got in so short a time. The result was an agreeable surprise, which seldom falls to the lot of an individual without some effort on his part." Disfranchisement has grown in the south until nearly every state in that section of the country has disfranchised its Afro-American voters. The race needs an able and experienced statesman of its own, such as we find in the Hon. Harry C. Smith, to champion its cause. We are taking time by the forelock. Color prejudice should not have any influence with those who make the laws by which all citizens of the United States are to be governed. Mr. Smith has served three terms as a member of the Ohio legislature. ADVERTISEMENT ARCHITECT. C. W. Wiggington, 12 Union Blk., Omaha, Nebr. AUCTION HOUSE. J. R.

If this is not true at least it appears to be true to us, for we see more of its shortcomings than we do of any other race. With the certain know: edge that we are linked together be cause of race prejudice, Negroes are £0 disloyal to each other, so envious so cursed with stupidity and so damned by obsequious servility to whites that they persist in dis: crediting each other as if only over the fallen bodies of their brothers can they go on to success, We are no the wisest people on earth, but we know too well what our environment fs to do this. Down in our hearts we know we malign, misrepresent an injure our brothers for the satisfac tion it gives our meaner natures. Neither love of justice, nor any other good motives actuate us. Slavery left its impress upon us in the child like dependence we exhibit; it de Vauched us by destroying family Lies and substituting the children of pas sion for the offspring of love; it im: poverished us by taking our labor without recompense; but in nothing did it do us such grievous Injury as it did when it set up within ou hearts the suspicion and envy which aown to this day lead us to destroy each other, even if in so doing we wreck our own fortunes. In business, in church, in lodges, sn politics—it is the same, Worst 0. all, we are not content with the evil we devise ourselves against each other, but eagerly lend ourselves to any plans which white people make for our undoing. BLACK SOLDIERS FOUGHT FOR THE CONFEVE: ACY! NOW, FIFTY YEARS AFTER, BLACK MEN ARE THE INFORM ERS, THE TRAITORS AND THE SOPHISTS WHO VIE | WITE WHITES IN THEIR ZEAL TO DB STROY US. Not a day passes with out its illustration of this thrice damned activity. For instance, Negroes and Negro papers have vied with whites in their insinuations against Booker T. Wash ington because of the Ulrich ineiden. They disregard entirely his previous blameless life, neither does his grew: usefulness save him one whit. He is a Negro, and since he is getting uj in the world the whole pack of mon grel cowards pile on him to pull hin down. At the same time they crings in sychophantic adoration _ befor white men whose moral obliquitie: are proven, and not presumed. It is Negroes and Negro papers that lead off in fulsome prase 0 white business and professional men saying of them what may be true but which inevitably is taken mean, and what is intended to mean that they are to be preferred befor the men of our own race who com pete with them. How different is th attitude of white people and paper: is shown clearly in the unanimit; with which the action of the Denve: Chamber of Commerce was endorse: in rescinding its vote on the member ship of a Negro. Where Dr. Westbrook has docu ments to prove that he was solicitec to join the chamber, not once bu three times, and where he can fur ther prove that he was accepted {1 the manner all other applicants were accepted, which action was afterward rescinded, the white press, with onc accord, put the burden of initiative on the applicant, ignored the accept ance and chronicled only the final re fusal. They even added a fakec history of refusal of the same appli cant some years ago. When white papers feel the demands upon them tor loyalty to their own people sc keeffly that they will publish false hoods to make their side of a case stronger, what shall we say of Ne roes and Negro papers that do what they can to make their lies the more widely known? Shame can ~nevei mantle the cheek or sadden the hear of one so craven, so cowardly, so dis loyal! ‘This sort of treachery makes Judas seem like a saint by comparison. He received thirty pieces of silver for his betrayal, while they expect noth ing. It takes real manhood for a Negré to maintain self-esteem with all white America scorning him, It takes 1 high degree of moral courage to re sist the persecutions which we musi undergo daily, the deliberate accusa tion of everything bad and denial of everything good. Therefore it is toc much when a lot of inconsiderate Ne groes join in condemning him when possibly he is guilty of no wrong do ing, or for them to deny him just re ward for merit. Somehow a new spirit must be cre- ated in the race whereby it will feel hurt when one of us is injured and we will all rejoice in the success of one. The toadies and the bootlickers, with their servile adoration of all things white, make us seem less ‘ace, The Statesman now enunciates dered him a birthday dinner.

They are cowards who have mean hearts and expend their poison on the race be- cause they think they can do so with safety and at the same time earn the approbation of whites. They are not men, they are monkeys who ape their betters. So long as the whole power of white civilization is busy devising the undoing of Negroes, there is no need of Negroes helping them; and so long as merit receives no reward at the hands of white people, the need is urgent for us to deal justly with our- selves.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE WORK Famous Institution of Learning Begins Its Thirty-first Scholastic Year With Corps of One Hundred and Eighty Teachers, Covering Forty Different Branches of Industry. Tuskegee, Ala.-The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, Booker T. Washington founder and principal, has entered upon its thirty-first school year. Every one of the forty different industries is now in full operation under the direction of 180 teachers and instructors, with an enrollment of 1,200 students as against 1,123 for the same date last year. Forty-two are enrolled in the postgraduate course as against twenty-six for the same date last year. Of the total enrollment to date 450 are new students. There is a perceptible increase in every department. Phelps Hall Bible Training school enrolled twenty-six as against twenty for the same date last year, with ten new students. The increase of postgraduates shows the very excellent work done by the public schools of Alabama and the growing demand for better trained teachers to take charge of the public schools of the state. Supplying this growing demand of the public schools of the commonwealth is one of the main features of the work of Tuskegee institute. To this end the institute has secured the most competent talent available and provided the amplest means. Professor J. R. E. Lee, director of the academic department, is authority for the statement that, generally speaking, the new students are making higher classes as a result of the good work done by the public schools of the state of Alabama and the other states from which these students have come. Consequently the outlook is bright for a better year's work. Major J. B. Ramsey, commandant, is well pleased with the general appearance of the new students and their eagerness to adapt themselves to the rigid discipline of the school. George R. Bridgeforth, director of the school of agriculture, which centers in Milbank Agricultural hall, is delighted with the outlook for his extensive department. The shops where the mechanical industries are taught, under the direction of Richard R. Taylor, are located in the Slater-Armstrong Memorial Trades building. This spacious two story brick building, with the sawmill, the boiler house, tool and storage rooms, occupies a floor space of 37,650 square feet. In this building Professor Taylor, head of the department, manages the trades in carpentry, woodworking, printing, tailoring, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, harness making, carriage trimming, plumbing, steam fitting, electric lighting, architectural and mechanical drawing, tinning, painting, steam engineering and shoemaking. Students in this department make bricks, saw lumber, build houses, make cabinets, shoes and do a hundred other things covering all the mechanical industries required in a first class city. The divisions of this department, requiring the services of 550 students, are taught by the best talent available, directed by Professor Taylor, who has had seventeen years' experience in the work at Tuskegee institute. What are known on the grounds as the "girls' trades" are taught in Dorothy hall under the direction of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, assisted by Dean S. H. Porter. Besides turning out last year 1,449 brooms, 125 mattresses, 70 mats, 484 curtains, 193 tablecloths, 263 bedticks, 2,011 pillowcases, 123 window shades and 99 screens, valued at $3,000, these girls do all the laundry work for the school, which means 1,500,000 pieces a year. Clinton J. Calloway, director of the extension department, makes the following statement: "The division of rural school extension work is now busy at helping the rural communities arrange for a more successful school year in 1911-12. The teachers are being asked to do all they can to interest the people in the county and fairs and to assist in the demonstration work, especially where the colored demonstrators are at work. "Dr. Butterick of the general education board and Dr. Rose of the Pebody fund have recently inspected some of the work of the extension department and express themselves as being much pleased with the progress made in the way of getting the colored farmers to have better schoolhouses and to lengthen their school terms. "The extension department has been instrumental in influencing one county during the year 1910-11 to raise $7,600 to go into public school building and lengthen public school terms." The division of research, consulting chemist and experiment station, under Professor George W. Carver, and the care of buildings and grounds, by D. A. Williston, director, are now in full operation, with an increased number of new students. J. B. Washington, postmaster. Tuskegee institute postoffice, says that he handles S2,000 pieces of mail in one month. WORK OF NOTED TEXAS SCHOOL Progress of Wiley University Seen In New Light. ABLE CORPS OF INSTRUCTORS. One of First Institutions of Learning Managed by the Freedmen Aid Society to Be Placed Under Management of Afro-Americans—Highly Regarded by State Board of Education. Marshall, Tex.—In a peculiar way the work of Wiley university, an institution of learning maintained by the Methodist Episcopal church for the training of Negro youth, is striking at the root of racial elevation in the south. The training given the young men and women who attend this well known institution is of the gilt edge variety, and its graduates are to be found in every walk of life. It was one of the first institutions managed by the Freedman Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church to be placed solely under the management of Negroes, and the wisdom with which Dr. M. W, Dogan has managed and controlled its affairs has proved that the experiment was more than a satisfactory one. the success of Wiley graduates disposes of the criticism that most all the educated Negroes go north, for in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana are any number of its graduates teaching school, preaching the gospel, practicing the professions and making successes out of their business ventures. It's work is academic, collegiate, industrial, and, above all, great stress is laid upon the moral and religious training of the boys and girls. It is one of the few schools where to a large extent the students are self governing. The Y. M. C. A. exercises a salient influence upon the boys' moral and physical life. In its work, which is more than ordinarily thorough, it is one of the only two schools in the country whose diplomas are recognized by the state board of education. The faculty for this year comes up to the standard of former years and with a few exceptions, stands as that of the previous year. As an example of the thoroughness of its work, one would only have to point to the suc- PRESIDENT M. W. DOGAN. cess of many of the men who have won their spurs. In such a list, taken at random, we find as principals of schools H. B. Pemberton, Marshall, Tex.; T. J. Douglass, Hubbard City, Tex.; T. B. Mitchell, Kendleton, Tex.; William Daniels, Longview, Tex.; A. M. Salome, Stamps, Ark.; T. C. Compton, Junction City, Ark.; J. H. Roberts, Mansfield, La.; J. B. Fox, Fort Jussep, La. As heads of college departments we have S. S. Reid, history, Wiley university; R. E. Brown, science, Wiley university; A. M. D. Langrum, mathematics, Texas college, Tyler, Tex.; J. W. Frazler, Sam Houston college, Austin, Tex. Wiley university stands not only for the higher education of the Negro, but also for thorough training in the industries. Both are regarded not only as important, but in many respects absolutely necessary for fitting members of the race for higher usefulness. In many a Wiley graduate the two are combined. It is therefore not unusual to see a young man who has taken the full college course having also a trade which he has mastered in the industrial department. One young man who recently graduated from the college department helped build the schoolhouse in the community where he is engaged in training his people. Another young man who graduated with honors from the college department took at the same time the highest honors in the department of electrical engineering and is now superintendent of the electric lighting department of an entire city. More and more schools like Wiley show the possibilities of the Negro race. Leaving out the painstaking care of the teachers and the sacrifices of President Dogan and his good wife, one is compelled to admit that a great future awaits this institution when the fact is known that within the past few years the ministers in the Texas conference have raised for Wiley university more than $50,000 and that within the last year they have resolutely set themselves to the task of raising an endowment fund of $100,000. To this also is to be added a contribution of $15,000 for the erection of the new dormitory for boys. FREE Gold Watch, Chain Razor. 6 Spoons and a Fountain Pen with 50 high-grade Cigars, $4.98 C.O.D.

PRINCE ELMORE WOULD MEET "KID" ORGAN. In the challenge issued a few days ago by "Kid" Organ, of this city, who has been itching for a go with the new arrival, "Fighting Black Prince" Elmore, the globe-trotting kid, late from the East. It seems as though Organ won't have any trouble in getting a match with the man he has challenged, as the "Black Prince" is willing not only to meet him, but any other man in the state at his weight, and will box at any club that makes the best offer. Both men are husky and should make a great show for any club. COTTON LOSES TO ROSS. George Cotton, the former sparring partner of Jack Johnson, was badly beaten the other night in a six-round go with Tony Ross, the Italian heavyweight. Cotton was knocked down in the first round and then he was floored again in the third round and was only saved from a knockout by the sweet sound of the gong. This makes fourteen bouts that Cotton has participated in since Jack Johnson and Jeffries' go, and out of the fourteen bouts he has won only four of them. Cotton says he is through with the game. JACK JOHNSON COMING HOME. From all recent reports it has been rumored that Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion, will soon be back in dear old U. S. A. owing to the way some of the people abroad have treated him. Jack was disappointed in not getting a go on with Bombardier Wells, and then the English people protested so hard against him in his go that was to have been with Wells that it looks as though they were prejudiced to him and his color, which no doubt was all the reason in the world for the fight to be stopped, which meant many thousands of dollars to Jack. REV. G. L. WHITE AS LEADER. Wields Potent Influence For Good In Wilmington, N. C. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Wilmington, N. C.-There are many encouraging signs of racial progress in this section of the state. There seems to be an awakening among Afro-Americans for reviving movements that heretofore seemed dormant. The enthusiasm for commercial activities and other factors for the well rounding of them is noticeably on the increase, and the substantial white citizens are encouraging the better element of the race in their work. Rev. George L. White, D. D., M. D., is a potent force in bringing about a better condition of the race in this section. He is received with ecclat by the citizenry. By his forceful and practical sermons he exhibits every quality requisite for a man in his position. His church is taxed at each service by an intelligent and progress REV. GEORGE L. WHITE, D. D. sive congregation. He is arousing interest in the work that will reach the people of the community, and at the same time he does it in an unselfish way. The peculiar exigencies of the race in this section especially require men of the character and attainments of Dr. White to lead along right lines with a wealth of sympathy and interest in the struggle for better conditions; therefore the need of an intelligently prepared ministry with the power to reach the masses is quite obvious. Dr. White takes a decided stand for any movement not antagonistic to the best interests of the race in this city. The opportunity for the laboring man to get a home and promote movements to meet his especial needs commercially is some of the gospel preached by Dr. White. Every conference or convention of our people held here has been an incentive for greater effort on the part of the people of this town. The recent meeting of the Lott Carey Baptist foreign mission convention held here has done the city much good, and the coming annual conferences for North Carolina of the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches will no doubt be equally helpful. Dr White is pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. church, and the best citizens of both races with his congregation have already requested Bishop Walters to continue him as pastor of his present charge. Orphan Asylum Holds Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Society of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan Asylum was held at the city office of the organization at 545 Herkimer street. Brooklyn, the latter part of October. The reports showed that notwithstanding the heavy expenses during the year the institution is in a healthy condition both physically and financially. DENVER PERSONALS. Mrs. J. T. Hammond who returned from a successful business to Boulder Thursday left that night for southern Colorado. The choir of Zion Church was regaled with a banquet Friday night after practice.
