The Statesman Wishes You A Happy New Year GREETINGS OF KELLY MILLER Twenty-Third Year GREETIN OF K TO EDUCATED COLORED MEN GREETINGS: I am taking advantage of the approaching New Year to address you a few words of serious greeting. You represent the first generation of your race, now grown to fullness of the stature of manhood, under the influence and power of education. You are the first ripened fruit of philanthropy, and by you alone will its wisdom or folly be justified. The hope of the race is focussed in you. You are to furnish the head-light to direct the parth through the dangers and viscisitudes of the wilderness. For want of vision the people perish; for want of wise direction, they stumble and fall. There is no body of men in the world today, now in the history of the world, who have, or ever have had greater responsibilities or more converted opportunities than devolve upon you. It is indeed a privilege to be a Negro of light and leading in such a time as this. The incidental embarrassments and disadvantages which for the time being, must be endured are not to be compared with the far more exceeding weight of privilege and glory which awaits you if you rise to these high demands. For such a privilege well may you forego the pleasures of civilization for a season. Your world consists of 10,000,000 souls, who have wrapped up in them all the needs and necessities, powers and possibilities of human nature; they contain all the norms of civilization, from its roots to its florescence. Yours is the task to develop and vitalize these smothered faculties and potentialities. Your education will prove to be but vanity and vexation of spirit, unless it ultimately in this task. You are the salt of this earth, and if the salt lose its savior, wherewith shall it be salted? If the light within the racial world be darkness, how great is that darkness? The highest call of the civilization of the world today is to the educated young man of the belated races. The educated young manhood of Japan, China, India, Egypt and Turkey must lift their own people up to the high level of their own high conception. They must partake of the best things in the civilization of Europe and show them unto their own people. Your task is the same as one Europe intensified, perhaps, by the more difficult and intricate tangle of circumstances and conditions with which you must deal. You cannot afford to sink into slothful satisfaction and do your little job, draw your little pay, and enjoy your tasteless leisure, and with manne self-deception hide your little head under the shadow of your wings, like the foolish bird, which thereby hopes to escape the wrath to come. As you look over the field the whole sweep of racial movement seems to be retrograde. The race has been disranchised and jim-crowed and segregated. Lynching and burning of Negroes and horrors of indescribable atrocity, has become a fixed American institution. The Christian conscience has become sore, and only Christ in Heaven weeps. There is no other source of help but God and you. The white race through philanthropy has done much; but its vicarious task was practically completed when it developed you. YYou must do the rest. Our gratitude can never repay the debt we owe. They spoke for us when our tongues were tied; they plued for us when we were speechless. But now our faculties are unloosed; we must stand on our own footing. The greatest gratitude that the beneficiary can show to the benefactor is, as soon as possible, to do without his benefaction. True. we are not yet able to cut loose wholly from the benevolent assistance; we still need some more ear-rings and finger-rings and other furnishings from the Egyptians. But the great outstanding fact remains, the task of race statesmanship and reclamation is not primarily the white man's burden, but yours. Upon you will depend its success or failure. As far as righteous insistence upon malienable human rights will permit, live at peace and helpful co-operation with all men, North and South, East and West. But never under any inducements of cowardice or prudence or thrift, should you deviate from the straight line of righteousness, which alone points out the way. Moral energy and race loyalty should be brought to bear upon your task whether you be engaged in the production of wealth or in the more condite pursuits, which administer to the higher needs of man. The white race is fast losing faith in the Negro as an efficient and acceptable factor in the equation of our civilization. Curtailment of political, civil and general privilege and opportunity is but the outward expression of this apostacy. As the white man's faith in you decreases, your faith in yourselves must increase. Every Negro in America should be taught daily, with his face turned toward the light, to utter this prayer: "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief." Through courage, expressed in the active as well as in the passive voice, courage to do and courage to endure, you must so assort and exert your manhood, that you will not only believe in yourselves, but the rest of the world will be compelled to believe in you. Then, and not till then, all will be well. Such is the mark and the high calling to which you are called. May you rise to the level of it. Dante's Inferno which was shown at prices ranging from 50 cents down to 15 cents down town, will appear at the Loraine all next week for only 10 cents. EDITORS ISSUE STATEMENT. Following is the address to the country in full as adopted by the Western Negro Press association at its recent annual meeting held in Topeka, Kan. We, the members of the Western Negro Press association, in convention assembled, acknowledge our thanks to the Ruler of the universe for the blessings which have come to the convention members individually and collectively, to the race we represent and all mankind. With these presents come our greetings to the country at large. We would appeal to the bar of public opinion and ask that discriminations based upon color shall be at an end. We do this believing that the fundamentals of American jurisprudence, the tendency of our present day civilization, demand that merit and worth shall count and that nothing shall stand between the worthy and the rewards of his labors. This is done with the involved purpose of making better the standard of American manhood and cultivating that spirit of interdependence of thought and activity, the necessary requisite in a free republic. America grows in greatness and her perpetuity is more completely assured when every man counts for one and nobody for more than one. That righteousness which exhorteth a nation should and must be more clearly demonstrated in America than anywhere in the civilized world. With faith in the justice of our cause we would ask that disfranchisement and discrimination because of color and anything that savors of unfairness before the law shall cease. We believe that there is enough fairness in the American republic to finally secure this result. We deplore and defiance lawlessness, crime, indolence and prodigality in any race and are not unmindful of the fact that these exist among the white race as well as the Negro race. We would urge upon them a higher conception of duty to family, society and country. We would advise that they save money, purchase homes, become property owners and tillers of the soil. In the form where are unlimited opportunities, we would advise them to go. The tillers of the soil have ever been the sturdy yeomanry, the foundation of society and the forerunners of a powerful commercialism which has moved the world. We argue earnestly for education both high and industrial and believe in the preparation of our youth to fill every avenue open to the citizens of a republic. The members of the Western Negro Press association pledge themselves to stand for the highest in journalism and for the creation of a things uplifting and inspiring. We are members of all professions, activities and varied employments to join in the new movement to make better and stronger the race of which we are a part and prove our right DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 30. 1911. to all the guarantee of our federal constitution by a wise and faithful performance of the duties therein imposed. General Conference Delega At the forty-sixth annual ses BRIGHT FUTURE PREDICTED FOR GALILEAN FISHERMEN Time Honored Secret Order Reincorporates and Makes New Beginning. A brighter day is dawning for the Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen of Baltimore, one of the oldest fraternal orders in the country. Following the failure of the bank of the order at Hampton, Va., and the suspension of the endowment department of the order, National Grand Ruler Columbus Gordon, Grand Secretary Annie G. Heath and other leading spirits began to plan for the upbuilding of the order. At the session of the national grand tabernacle of the order held in Baltimore last August a revised constitution was adopted, the order reincorporated, and recently copyright papers were taken out. Reports received lately by Mr. Gordon from various parts of the jurisdiction indicate that the order is rapidly gaining in strength. In Philadelphia, where Mr. Charles H. Marshall is the special deputy, the order is in I COLUMBUS GORDON. better condition than at any time within in the past ten years. In Wilmington, Del., where the next annual session will be held, Mrs. Ellen Freeland, head of the work in that jurisdiction, states that the order is taking on new life there and that great preparations are being made for the next grand session. Macauley Dorsey, grand treasurer of the order; Joseph P. Evans state ruler for Maryland, and a number of others are also bending their best efforts for upbuilding the work. Even in the capital of the nation the people are stopping long enough to give the order their consideration. I may mention C. C. Fitzgerald, attorney for the order; J. F. Hill of Columbus, O.; Mrs. Hattie E. Troy of Harrisburg, Pa.; Rev D. Stratton of St. Albans, W. Va., M. L. Fairfax of Charlestown, W. Va., and others whose devotion to the interests of the order have always been manifested. The country may look for bigger things than ever from our order. Masons Hold Annual Communication. At the annual communication of Eureka grand lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, recently held in Providence, R. I., much important business was transacted. Most Worshipful Grand Master W. H. Mathews presided. The attendance was large, and the members of the craft were enthusiastic over the success of the work accomplished within the jurisdiction during the year. Grand Master Mathews and the rest of the officers were re-elected. Interstate Literary Association The twenty-first annual meeting of the Interstate Literary association, which is composed of a majority of the literary organizations of the middle west states, was held in Wichita, Kan., for three days, beginning on Wednesday, Dec. 27. The sessions were presided over by Attorney S. J. Brown of Des Moines. General Conference Delegates. At the forty-sixth annual session of the Georgia conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church recently held in Savannah the following persons were elected as delegates to the general conference to be held in Kansas City, Mo., in May, 1912: The Reys, R. H. Singleton, L. A. Townsley, P. W. Greatheart, L. W. McMillan, W. O. P. Sherman, N. Bembry, E. B. Brown, R. M. S. Taylor, B. S. Hannah, B. J. Ross, R. L. Hurst and T. N. Smith, who was selected to head the delegation. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CHEYENNE (M. V. Gaskin) The minstrel show given by Porter's Ninth Cavalry Minstrels last Thursday evening was reported to be a great success. The members of the company were greeted by a large audience and each one present went away feeling that he or she had received their money's worth. Some of the best popular music was given and the cavalry orchestra displayed its usual entertaining ability. The Dime Social which was to be given at the home of Mrs. Simon Smith by the W. M. M. Society December 22, will be postponed until a later date on account of Christmas. The Christmas tree concert will be held Christmas night, the little folks predominating. All are cordially invited and the Xmas trees is for young and old. Sunday night, December 17th, Rev. P. C. Crutchfield and his choir conducted the services at the Post chapel in charge of Chaplan George W. Proileau of the Ninth Cavalry, Ft. D. A. Kussell. The subject of Rev. Crutchfield's sermon was "The Prodigal Son." A large crowd was present and the singing was enjoyed by all. Chaplain and Mrs. Proileau will leave Sunday to spend the holidays with Mrs. Proileau's parents. The Christmas tree exercises for the children of the Ninth Cavalry were held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Troop B of the same regiment. Mr. Wm. Christian, who has been confined to the hospital with a broken limb, is again able to be about with the aid of crutches. Mr. D. Henry, who has been suffering with consumption, has been removed from the hospital to his home. Saturday evening, Dec. 23, a reception will be given at the A. M. E. Church in honor of Captain Charles Young. The reception will be in charge of Rev. James Washington. Mrs. Pearl Edwards and son, Lloyd, have just returned from an extended visit with Mrs. Edward's mother. Mr. Charles Lucas is somewhat indisposed this week as the result of a billious attack. Mrs. Henry Cooper is ill at her home, threatened with an attack of pneumonia. Mr. Taylor of Pasadena, Calif., is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Lucas, for a few days. Mr. Taylor has been visiting at his home in Lincoln, Nebraska, and is now en route to California. Everybody seems to be alive with the holiday spirit. We wish you all a Merry Xmas. Mrs. Laura Hill's picture show is as good as the best. See it just across from the Five Points postoffice. Best films, best machine, best music. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. Mrs. Delia Lawrence took suddenly ill last Thursday morning but is much improved at this writing. The first public Christmas tree for the children was given last atursday night at the First Baptist Church. It was an enjoyable event. Many presents were exchanged. Little Miss Eunice Russell is spending the holidays in Grand Junction. The First Baptist Church has resumed their regular orders of services. Preaching at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. unday school at 3 p. m. Prayer meeting Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p. m. MRS. ALICE A. CLARK. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Pages Two, Four, and Five ZION LADIES FEAST AT EXPENSE OF MEN. While the readers of this paper are perusing this item, the men of Zion Church are laboring hard to make up for what they did not do in the last rally which the church had last fall. It seems that the men and the women contested to see who would bring in the most money, an das usual, the men lost. So now they are solacing their chagrin by entertaining the ladies at an elaborate spread to be set New Year's night, and today they are hard at it with hammer and saw-making tables to seat three hundred guests at once. Professional chefs will prepare the turkeys an drimmin's and everything will be done up in style. Charles Muse has a corps of waiters who know every pose of the expert and who mean to give such service that the ladies will be compelled, since it is leap year to acknowledge their expertise by generous tips. NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM AT SHORTER The first of the year is the time set by Shorter Church for the general adoption of the pledge system of church finance. It is expected that this system if carried out as proposed and as successful as it is in churches where it has been tried will relieve the officials of much of the financial worry attendant upon present methods. They are explaining the system to each member personally. Rallies will not be necessary to carry the church current or other expenses when all contribute in this manner. The Loraine has the same moving pictures as the Princess and Isis. Spend an hour seeing the pictures at 725 26th avenue, just across from the postoffice. NEW PASTOR FOR THE REDEEMER The Church of the Redeemer will have as its pastor after the first of the year, Father Brown now of Topeka. He comes by appointment of the bishop. It is a singular coincidence that he is of the same name as the pastor who has just gone away. TENDERED A BIG CHURCH A compliment has been paid to Rev Williams of Campbell A. M. E. Church in the way of an offer of a church in another section of the country that is a thousand strong and proportionately prosperous. He has not intimated any intention of acceptin, but the offer is an honor which delights his friends. BETTER JOB UNDER UNCLE SAM P. W. Webster also has been connected with the Interior department of the National Government since coming to the city, being a laboratory aide to the pure food laboratory chief has been advanced in grade recently being now laboratory assistant. MERIT REWARDED Christmas this year was especially delightful to Wm. Sprugne, one of the veteran employees of the Stearn-Roger Mining Machinery Company. He was notified of a substantial raise in salary as well as given a reminder of Christmas in the way of cash. He is shipping clerk there and has been for many years. Mr. Spr ague is filling a position of responsibility and salary, unusual for a member of the race, and in fact, it may be said that there are few men in the whole West who even equal him in the work he performs and the money he receives. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. The coming of its new pastor has attracted an unusual amount of attention to Central Baptist Church located at 24th and California streets. This beautiful property in the past year was freed from all indebtedness through the sacrifice of its members, and they plan it to be the site of a new Temple which shall be glory to God and a credit to the church and denomination. The financial effort which was undertaken last summer had a most beneficial effect upon the church apart from the handsome sum of nearly a thousand dollars which they were able to lay away in the REV. RAMEY bank. It united and quickened the people, it showed them their possibilities, it converted a congregation which was always spiritually strong, into one both spiritually and temporarily efficient. For several months the church has been under the pastorate of Rev. G. T. Ramey. He came into charge in a moment of emergency and has been a most happy choice. His long residence here has made him well known to church-goers and his leadership found ready acceptance. He has been able to maintain the zeal and his tactful handling of church finance and business will cause the new pastor, Rev. Williams of Atlanta, to find a fallow field for his sowing. Rev. Williams comes with a reputation as a gospel preacher, with the strongest of recommendation as a business man, and all in all Central expects to enter upon fields of larger vision under his leadership. Rev. Tillman of Nicodemus, Kansas, a scholar and a speaker of more than sectional reputation will preach at Central Church tomorrow. He spoke at Zion Sunday evening. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. On Sunday the 31st inst., at 11 o'clock Holy Communion will be celebrated by the Rev. H. B. Hitchings, D. D., Rector Emeritus at St. John's Cathedral. Dr. Hitchings was rector of the Church of "St. John's in the Wilderness" nearly fifty years ago, from 1862 to 1868, and during his pastorate he ministered to the colored people then living in Denver holding special services of instruction for them and in many ways looking after their well ware. Mr. Hudston will preside at the organ and give the address. SHORTER CHAPEL SUNDAY NOTES Sunday School at 10 a. m. The pastor will preach at 11 a. m., subject "Enjoycing for the Old Year." As Sunday night is watch meeting night, services will begin at 9 o'clock. The C. E. League will have "open doors." New Year's day at the church beginning at 2 p. m.

New York.—The committee for im- proving the industrial condition of col ored people, the Nation League For the Protection of Colored Women and the committee on urban conditions among colored people in New York have con. solidated under the name of the Na- tional League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, This is the first ime that a number of social agencies have got together with a definite aim of uniting their work and preventing overlapping and duplication. ‘Phe objects of the league are, first, to promote and to carry on constructive nd preventive social! work for improving the social and economic conditions of the race in ur ban centers: second, to bring about co ordination and co-operation among ex isting agencies in urban centers; third to develop other agencies where neces sary; fourth, to secure and train mem bers of the race for social work and to make such studies in cities as may be required.

Baldwin, Jr. in 1910. The work of the committee during the year las heen peculiarly success ful. “Besides bringing about the organ. Jzation of the national league. it bas made a preliminary survey of the Har- Jem district. which has resulted in a local movement among the residents for improvement. ‘The committee is also conducting the work of the central bureau of fresh air agencles. It super- vised all the fresh air work in New York city the past summer. It con- ducted 1 model camp for colored boys at Manorville. N. Y., and a playground was established in Harlem.

Thev left Friday morning From the New York Age we are glad to quote the following which is one sign of the feeling among think ing Negroes that the vital need of the day is a keener race conscious ness. Yonkers, N. Y., Dec. 12.—Under the auspices of the Negro Society for His- torical Research of Yonkers Alain Le Roy Locke, of Philadelphia, ex-Rhodes scholar from Pennsylvania to Oxford during 1907-10, and a present student at Berlin University, where he is studying for the degree of Ph. D., read a paper on “The Negro and a Race Tradition,” Saturday. Mr. Locke is visiting his mother in Philadelphia and will be in this country until Jan- uary. The meeting was held at the home of J. E. Bruce, of Sunny Slope Cottage, and was largely attended by local and out-of-town guests. A gen- eral musical program was arranged, which was followed by an inspection ot the society's archives and memen- toes. Several presentations were made, chief among them being an early engraving of Van Dyke's por- trait of Jacobas Capatem, the Negro graduate of the University of Leyden, in the early 17th ceatury. Mr. Locke's paper was a discussion of the aim of a Negro Historical So- ciety. The speaker made a reasoned plea for a consistent and thorough- going race propaganda along histor- ical lines, believing it to be the sanest way in giving content and dignity to all specifically Negro enterprises and organization. The American Negro, ne believed, faces a difficult historical dilemma, and can only solve it through a voluntary adoption and re: construction of his own tradition. The lasting injury of the slave regime, in- deed, of his whole history in the coun- try, has been to degrade his past and deprive him of his racial affiliations, In redeeming his past, he may largely redeem himself, at least in his own estimation, for the, most vital of Ne- gro problems is the problem of self- respect and corporate pride. Affec: tive and necessary as this self-respect and corporate pride is to the Negro for his practical progress in the coum try, a development of that pride and self-respect in intellectual and spiri tual matters would not only react fa vorably upon his social condition in this country, but anticipate his ulti mate solution of his own problem, and make it easier to live meanwhile un der conditions as they are. The best way to fight unfair distinction and dis criminations is to begin to set up standards and contrasts of one's own, to replace and redeem the distinctions forced upon the race. The speaker was further of the opinion that noth ing short of a racial consciousness stretching out beyond mere Americar boundaries would satisfy the ultimate mental and spiritual needs of the Ne gro in this country. A PROPER NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION. ‘At this time of the year when one counts up the losses and gains of the old year's endeavors, and lays plans for future betterment, it would be well for colored people to give special at- tention to the losses they have sut- fered by lack of initiative. The beat- en path, the crowded business oppor- tunity, the overmanned trade, set lim- itations that only the exceptional worker can overcome. Fortune are made in established lines but usually they demand time and capital. With out hands as our capital, a better opening for us lies in pioneer work Whether it is mine or farm or city business, we will do better by enter- ing lines not already crowded than if we presume that the success of other Negroes in a given line is certain proof that we too will succeed. We therefore wish our readers to make as their New Year's resolution a deter- mination to deem the whole world their field, and to enter upon any Yo- cation which they think they can suc: ceed in, whether a host of their broth- ers in black have already engaged in that line and found it feasible.

Conference Adopts Strong Set of Resolutions Indorsing Commissioner John R. Hawkins For the Position of Financial Secretary For the Denomination. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Columbia, S. C. — The remarkable progress of the educational department of the African Methodist Episcopal church is largely due to the splendid energies of Professor John R Hawkins, the brilliant orator, highly successful financier, scholar and commissioner of education for the A. M. E denomination. His native oratory is enrapturing thousands of people who hear him on educational nights at the various conferences of this denomination, and the statistics given by him relative to the stupendous growth of the educational activities of the general church and his vivid protraal of how these funds are raised by the people are an inspiration to every one who hears him. He is being received with eclat in all sections of the country, and his popularity is an attestation of his strong character and attainments. Although modest and never seeking the praise of the populace, but flying from applause, he is properly regarded by thousands of both races as a conservative, safe leader and a strong financier. In his address at the great educational mass meeting of the recent annual North Carolina conference held in Wilmington, N. C., Professor Hawkins said: One of the greatest agencies at work in the uplift of humanity is the educational department of the A. M. E. church with its twenty schools of learning, 305 teachers, 578 pupils and a property value of we are raising out of our own enterprise annually for the maintenance of this good work and the purpose of this meeting. [Image of a man in a suit and tie, facing left]. PROFESSOR JOHN R. HAWKINS. to call every man, every woman, to march to the altar of duty and to make a contribution to this great work. Here is where we are helping to work out this problem. What the world needs most today is a closer application of these principles that will make men good and useful citizens, that which will develop character and manhood not simply for the few who are in the front, but for the many who are marching and tolling in the humble ranks. The world today wants the man for the highest position who can successfully conduct affairs. That is the spirit of the North Carolina conference. The following resolution, which was signed by every member of the conference, was adopted: To the Bishop and Members of the North Carolina Conference: Whereas, Professor John R. Hawkins has faithfully and efficiently served the A.M.E. church and the race for many years. Whereas, His name has been suggested in many sections of the country for the office of financial secretary of the said church and. Whereas, Many conventions, etc., in the church have given, expression to their unqualified indorsement; and, Whereas, We recognize his great ability in business acumen and enlighten fitness for the particular responsibility; therefore, Be it resolved, That the delegates from this conference to the next ensuing general conference be and they are hereby instructed and directed to give him their office of financial secretary and to use all nonofficial means to secure his election. For sixteen years Professor Hawkins has been secretary and treasurer of the educational department of the church. Eight per cent of all the dollar money raised in the denomination has been through his efforts. By his able comprehension of the most intricate points of law he has acted general counsel for the church and was the chief counsel for the general conference of 1908. He is the auditor of the book concern of the church, and the bench of bishops has also retained him as chief counsel. There is not an Afro-American in North Carolina who is more highly esteemed than Professor Hawkins. He has invested his earnings in excellent property, and he is teaching the young men of the race, by precept as well as by his scintillating oratory, that one must accept every opportunity to assist his fellow man. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES A beautiful punch bowl with set off glasses will be awarded to the widow or widower ho sells or raises the most money for the New Year's leap year entertainment Monday night, January 1st. Anna B. Dawson, who is captain of the club giving the entertainment, cordially invites all friends to spend an evening of pleasure at Scott's. The watch meeting will begin at 10:30 Sunday night. The regular evening services will begin promptly on the hour. Special sermon in keeping with the season of the year will be delivered Sunday evening. After the watch services coffee and cake will be served free. Come with us and enjoy yourself. The Epworth League will elect its officers for the new year Sunday evening at the League hour. All Epworthians are urged to be present and help to select the ones who will guide the destinies of the young people's society for the year. Club Number Three will give its last entertainment January 5th. It will be a cracker contest. The one eating the most crackers will be awarded the prize. Mrs. Claude Pash is the captain of the club. Mrs. J. M. Johns, who made a hurried visit to her brother-in-law's bedside, is in the city again at her post of duty at 1410 Grant avenue. Mr. Johnson had a very serious attack of pneumonia, but is rapidly recovering at this writing. He lives in Little Rock, Arkansas. The drama rendered by the choir was a success. Mrs. Hicks, the president, and her co-workers deserve much praise for the way they handled this entertainment. The choir chairs will be purchased this week. We congratulate this organization for the promptness that they are giving in carrying out their promise. We need a pulpit carpet; what organization will begin work and plan to buy one? The Christmas tree was decorated with taste and pains. The committee on decorations deserve much credit for the way they beautified the church. The program rendered by the Sunday school and Junior League was very interesting. Miss Rice had the entire supervision of the program and the arrangements and rendition of the program showed much care and painstaking. The Sunday school children were very liberally remembered. The pastor and his wife wish to thank the many friends for the tokens of remembrance which made glad the hearts of every one in the parsonage. The tokens sent were something needed in every instance and this fact made them the more valuable. We only regret that we are not able to return value for value. We will return it in love and faithful service. Mr. C. J. Collier has been appointed leader of Class No. 2. Mrs. Edna Collier is on the sick list, but is rapidly recovering. A ten days' meeting will be inaugurated about the 15th of January. The entire membership is urged to participate in this effort to revive the church. The pastor will conduct the meetings.

Then too, the service was beautifully surrounded by all the furnishings of an elegant home. Music made a most delightful concomitant to the courses. The guests were Messrs. and, Mames Russ. Ratley, Franklin. Webster, Mrs. Skillern, Messrs. Falling, Conway, Washington, Harris and Dr. Harper. Sunday evening the music at West Brothers' Cafe will begin at 9:30 and last until 11:30 p. m.

O'NEAL ON RACE PROBLEM Tells Methodist Conference Equal Protection Should Be Granted. At the recent session of the Alabama A. M. E. conference, held in Montgomery. Governor Emmet O'Neal delivered a most timely address, in the course of which he said that he recognized the fact that the two races are bound up in mutual interest, and, while the question of social equality must not enter every consideration, the state demands the Negro be given every chance to develop himself and become the best citizen possible. As governor of Alabama, he said, his activity would be bent in all these directions and he would see that as far as practical Negroes should have equal rights in the courts, with every educational, industrial and economical right of way for advancement. TIMELY ADVICE TO CHURCHMEN Dr. Ernest Lyon Makes Stirring Plea For Autonomy. CONFERENCE ISSUES STATED Question of Future Relationship Between White and Colored Members of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a Body Will Be Leading Topic at Next General Conference. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore.—When the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church meets in Minneapolis next May the question of the status of the colored membership of the denomination may be discussed at length. This discussion may take shape in measures for the increasing of the influence of the colored constituency, autonomy or segregation. Within the past eighteen months three things have been discussed at considerable length by leading white and colored Methodist clergymen. Our race has at present a missionary bishop, Dr. L. B. Scott, for the work in Africa and a number of officials whose work is the partial oversight of the twenty-one conferences among our people in this country. These officials are for the most part products of the schools which the denomination has maintained for the race since the civil war and are not openly committed to either segregation or autonomy, but with one exception. This exception is Bishop Scott, who hinted at possible autonomy in a widely read article in one of the denominational publications some months ago. Since then Bishop David H. Moore has suggested that colored men be elected to the bishopric and given oversight of the colored conferences. He instances the separation of the Freedmen's Aid society from the southern educational board and the employ- [Name] REV. DR. ERNEST LYON. ment of a colored secretary by the former society to look after the work of the society in the conferences in support of his contention. After stating that a member of the race as superintendent would be inspiring to the colored members of the denomination he makes the following plea for autonomy: We have been in the church over two score years, reckoning from the close of the civil war. What have we been doing all this time? In some school, some say undergoing training. Well, that is a good and noble thing, but when will be graduation day? Will there ever be a common experience with students inspiring to parents as well as to professors and pupils? Is there none worthy among the $30,000 pupils in training since 1850? Why is it that we have no commencement? Has it been the fault of the instructors or the pupils? Christendom is interested in the answer. Somebody is responsible for results. Either the instructors have failed to instruct or the pupils have failed to receiving instruction. In either case it is a reflection on all parties concerned. In my judgment, anything is best that will throw us on our own resources; that will enable us to stand upon our own feet; that will enable us to act and to plan for ourselves as other independent denominations—any condition that will develop race consciousness, self reliance and self dependence. Whether that be autonomy or segregation, it would seem to make very little difference, provided it brought about the desired results. Personally I would prefer autonomy to segregation. By autonomy I mean the plan suggested by the late Bishop Foster—to wit, that we remain exactly as we are in the mother church; but governing ourselves instead of being governed by the whites; that where we now have annual conferences presided over by white bishops, we are presided over by colored bishops who meet the white bishops in their semiannual gathering to plan for the work among both white and colored people; that we have a missionary, church extension, Sunday school union, Epworth league, Freedmen's aid and other connectional societies of our own, conducted exactly like the present ones, with the exception that instead of white secretaries, as we now have, the white secretaries, as we now arrange would give us full ledged secretaries instead of the agents, as now. This arrangement would open up real opportunities for development of the race, would quicken its aspirations and give it an impetus that would be magical in its consequences. Surely no colored man who has the interest of his race at heart would object to a plan that had in it larger opportunities for us. What just reason can be give for not wanting a plan? As to the matter of elections, he would act singly and alone, voting in his own convention for men selected for leaders, according to his own preferences and not, as now constituted. 2000 LBS. is a Ton, and that's just what you get when you buy YOUR COAL from me.

Henry Lincoln Johnson Tells an Interesting Story of What Happened at the Now Famous Graves-Davis Trial In Atlanta—Weighy Testimony of Prominent Citizens. Atlanta, Ga.—The superior court of Fulton county, Ga., was recently the scene of the trial of the case brought by A. Graves against Benjamin J. Davis. The fact that Mr. Davis is one of the most prominent Odd Fellows of the United States made the case one of national importance. Mr. Davis is at present the chief justice of the Odd Fellows' supreme court and editor of the Atlanta Independent. The case resulted in the complete vindication of Mr. Davis, as will be J. B. HON. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. seen from the following interview given en out by Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was Mr. Davis' attorney: Very often in human experience it happens that it is through evil that the highest good is evolved. We see through our glasses dimly at times, but if we possess our souls in patience, relying upon the truth and upon our faith in man, if our hearts are set right and our cause is just, righteousness will eventually triumph, and the truth will make us free. So it happened in the recent prosecution of the courts of A. Davis' outcourt in wrongdoing B. J. Davis, the great Odd Fellow and the well balanced and courageous editor. The superior court of Fulton county was crowded when the case brought by A. Graves against B. J. Davis was sounded for trial and entered upon. Through some unkindly newspapers, both at home and abroad, the fact of this indictment against B. J. Davis was heralded to the four corners of the world in order that his hand might be stilled and staved. Evil disposition and malignant purpose and done its work, but, thanks to the institutions of our civilization, there are courts of justice where cases are tried and their truth and facts, not supposition and slater, will make or unmake the accusers, and the testimony of its witnesses, when the case was on its last legs, ready to tootter and fall, still. in order that the truth, and whole truth, should be known, a few additional witnesses were called, and before B. J. Davis was called on at all to say one word the far heralded indictment had absolutely fallen for want of proof, and the judge, on the motion of the prosecuting attorney, and the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Before this was reached, however, scores of the brightest and best white men in Georgia, leaders of the bar, leading merchant princes, leading business and laboring men and prominent white ministers of gospel were called, and to a white witness of the gospel, and known Devils from his childhood days and that his character was of the best. Added to this was the willing testimony of the leading colored men of the state, taken from every walk of life, its most prominent lawyers, its most widely known phylactic necchants and successful necchants and its most devout and pious ministers of the gospel. Now, it seldom happens to a man that such a galaxy of the brightest products of civilization in a state should so unanimously in open court and under oath sing but one song and tell but one story—that this much persecuted man was good, was wise, was kind, was courageous and trustworthy. Among the white people of Georgia to men shine brighter among its citizens than Hon. L. Z. Rosser, the magnificent lawyer; than George Muse, the Christian merchant prince; than Hon. M. J. Yoeman of Dawson, one of the most prominent of the white lawyers of southwest Georgia; than the Hon. Obadiah Stephens, the distinguished railroad connoisseur of the state. Of the best blood and the highest civilization in southland there is no more positive an exponent than Captain Henry S. Jackson. Among his own race in Georgia no business men have been more successful than the Driskells, Connalys and Russells, no physicians more widely known and accomplished than the Penns and A. D. Jones, among the ministers none whose life is more orderly, plaus and distinguished than in the cities. These were some of the colored men who willingly testified to the good character of R. J. Davis. I have never seen such a happening in a courtroom during many years of experience therein and in this public way. To the matter of this, I have this thought—that he whose life is right, whose mind and energy are bent on the betterment of his race and the upflift of his state and country, as is characteristic of those who would persecute.

One's chances of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only 50¢ at all druggists.
