Prepare To Take Part In Your Party Primaries ANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society HUMAN TREATMENT REFUSED Twenty-Third Year HUMAN TREAT TRUTH ABOUT THE PROBLEM SOUTH Vivid Account of Vile Race Prejudice Told by Eyewitness. Mrs. F. M. Hetherington of Detroit Surprised at Existing Conditions on Public Conveyances En Route on Missionary Tour to Caddo, Okla. Sharply Criticised by Whites. Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. F. M. Hetherington of this city relates the following story of her experience on her first trip south: Being a white woman of the north to the extent that I was never south until recently, my business required my presence in the little town of Caddo, in southern Oklahoma. I was greatly surprised at many things. In the first place, after leaving Kansas City en route I noticed classification of color began and continued. Being much interested in both home and foreign mission work, I became very observant; and began investigating conditions along racial lines. Later as we reached McAlester and got off for breakfast I was attracted by a fine stone structure. Upon investigating I was informed that it was the state prison, where there were 1,170 prisoners, half white, the remaining half Negro and Mexican. When the train moved out I became engaged in conversation with a lady who was sented with me and lived in Durant, Okla. She related a recent incident that had happened in Durant, an outrage committed upon a white woman and the lynching of a colored man. This aroused the boiling blood of southern prejudice. Some white men, commonly called Night Riders, placed a bomb under a Negro's house, and while waiting in eager delight to see the explosion of the house occupied by a family of Negroes the Negro himself came out and shot the white man off his horse. The law protected the Negro in saving his own life and property, so again the whites were enraged and proceeded to banish all the Negroes from both Durant and Caddo. This was in September, 1911. The cotton was ready for picking, but while some of the white people of Caddo tried to protect the Negroes who they had employed in their fields shots were continually fired among them while at work, and they were compelled to go, leaving some of their crops as they stood or accepting such a paltry sum as might be offered them, a mere pittance for their season's work. Business was dull with the merchants whom I called upon. The reason for this was attributed to the fact that a fit of race prejudice had arisen and the Negroes, numbering 300 in a town of 1,200 inhabitants, were banished — in southern phraseology, "they had driven all the old niggers off"—consequently there was no one to pick the cotton. This was keenly felt by the merchants, hotel keepers and housewives. No business for the merchants, no help for the hotels, and housewives were obliged to do their own work. Boys in knee pants wafted upon the tables in hotels, and we waited upon ourselves most of the time. Remember, this was chiefly done by the illiterate white people. I was critiqued for calling the black people "Negroes." The people said to me: "Don't be so polite. They are simply old niggers here in the south. You can call them 'Negroes' in the north, where you consider them on an equal with the white people." I meditated on these conditions when it affected the town commercially, which I was interested in, and concluded that the Negro must be a necessity, and the report went into the firm I represented "that the Negroes had been bailed and no one to pick the cotton" was the cause of business being partially suspended. A boy of sixteen asked me if the "niggers" went to school with the whites in the north. When hearing that they did he became rebellious, but was somewhat convinced of the erroneousness of it when I asked him if he did not sleep with his old black mammy and love to do it and if he slept with her in a bed he could surely live in a schoolroom with two or three black children or exist outside in a playing ground. A traveler whom I was seated with going to Duncan, Okla., spoke of a Negro lawyer in Oklahoma City as being the "whitest" man in principles they had to deal with in their business or profession. Later at Comanche, Okla., a man came into the store where I was to purchase clothing for his children. He declared most emphatically that he was either going to move where colored people were permitted to live so he could get help or he would be compelled to break up his home, as he had an invailed wife and was compelled to go home from business to do housework. Going from Chickasha to Hobart, Okla., I observed that, while there was the most rigid classification of color existing everywhere-separate cars, waiting rooms, toilet rooms for Negroes filthy, repulsive, half civilized Indians in savage garb came on the train at every station and were seated in coaches with the white people. I pointed this out to others on the train. Some of them admitted they would much prefer to be seated with a clean Negro than with an Indian. AMBITION OF M. Q. CELE. Hampton's Zulu Student Prepares For Return to "Fatherland." At the Brooklyn meeting held under the auspices of the Armstrong association, in the interest of Hampton institute, on Thursday evening. Feb. 29, Madikane Quandlanyane Cele, a Zulu student who finished the wheelwrighting trade at Hampton institute in May, 1911, told briefly the interesting story of his life in South Africa and America. "My father," he said. "was a governor under the king of the Zulus ```markdown ``` MADIKANE Q OKLR until the white missionaries landed there. He spent six years with the missionaries and then went back to work among his own people. "I grew up, as most Zulu boys do, watching my father's herds until I became a large boy and began to join in sports such as hunting, playing at war and idling away all of the time." Cele studied for two years in a South African missionary school and finished the blue Zulu spelling book. He further pursued his studies and, through his uncle, Rev. John L. Dube, came to America. At the Slater school in Winston-Salem, N. C., he came in touch with two Hampton teachers. He concluded that Hampton's training was just what he needed for his work in Zululand. Realizing that his people needed to know how to build good wagons, Cele took wheelwrighting and special work in blacksmithing in the Hampton Institute Trade school. Cele plans to return to the forgotten children of South Africa and carry them the blessings which he has received at the Hampton school. MARCH CRISIS MAGAZINE Featured by Many Facts—Pillsbury on Fourteenth Amendment. Next to the strikingly beautiful head of a colored girl on the cover of the March Crisis, the most striking feature of this number is the article by the Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney general of Massachusetts. Mr. Pillsbury contends that under the fourteenth amendment there is a clear federal remedy for lynching, and he outlines a bill calculated to meet this national disgrace. The latest statistics on Negro-American population are given, and the men of the month include J. Rosamond John, the gifted composer; the late Bishop Gaines and the young colored high school student who was a recent prize winner. The strong editorials attack the "divine right" of white men to ruin colored girls without penalty and explain what "optimism" among colored people may come to mean in the way of pessimism. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard contributes a strong letter to a southerner on lynching. The National association announces the pleasantest and most encouraging piece of news which the Crisis ever had to recount. For some time it has been apparent that if the association was to do farreaching constructive work, if it hoped to attack the larger phases of segregation, lawlessness or disfranchisement, it must have a fund at its disposal. Such a fund should be called a fund for legal redress, and its money should be appropriated under the direction of the board of directors and the association's attorney. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago started this fund on Feb. 1 by a gift of $2,000. Shortly afterward Mr. Samuel Fels of Philadelphia augmented it by a gift of $500. This splendid beginning will make it possible for the association during the present year to carry on a much greater mass of important work than before, always provided that it increases steadily in members. LA JUNTA NEWS. Death, the grim reaper, has again entered our midst and taken one of the most promising young men, Chester Tyler.

DENVER PERSONAL MENTION All Eyes Turned on Five Points The eyes of Denver are turned to ward Five Points today with an interest in the very unusual spectacle of a colored man seeking to be elected as precinct committeeman in the primaries today over a white opponent. It happens that this precinct known as One in Ward Five, contains a larger number of colored Republicans than white, so that it is possible for the colored people to have a committeeman if they wish. If they do not have one it will be said that it is because they did not wish one. The colored candidate is the editor of this paper, C. A. Franklin. This is the first time that he has ever run in an election and even though the office sought is one that has no salary, and mighty little fame attached, he is frank to admit that politics is something like war, a la General Sherman. While he announced in the outset that his candidacy was simply to put the colored voter on the map, he has found that there are the same old obstacles of colored persons willing to do the bidding of white politicians, even to the detriment of themselves and their race. But after all it is struggle that makes victory sweet. In the next issue of this paper we will relate first hand the besetements that hinder the proper and equitable treatment of colored citizens by political parties. There is every reason why the average voter should know what the methods used by the politicians are to thwart his will, and in the case of colored voters, it is the more needed since it is usually he who "has noth ing and loses even that which he hath." The editor realizes that he is a candidate for a Carnegie medal in risking his life in the game of politics, but some one has to break the ice in Denver to restore us to a semblance of proper participation in government. THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER Twenty-second avenue and Humboldt street. The Rev. Henry B. Brown, B. D., priest in charge. Since the advent of the new priest, Father Brown, the church has taken on a new lease of life. Every department of church work has been resuscitated and new agencies set in motion. The Women's Guild, with Mrs. Virginia Webb as president, Mrs. Iona J. Hickman, secretary, and Mrs. Laura Finley, treasurer, has received fresh inspiration to carry on its good work. So has also the Altar Guild of St. Mary the Virgin, under the presidency of Miss Geraldine Troutman and her associates, Miss Senora Finley, secretary, and Miss Grace Burns, treasurer. The Sunday school, under the management of the priest as ex-officio superintendent, and his staff of co-workers, Mrs. L. Allison, Misses Geraldine Troutman, Bittinia Morgan and Irene Walker, has renewed its efforts to care for the "lambs of the fold." The Brotherhood of the Church of the Redeemer was fully organized on Sunday evening last and promises to fill a long felt need in the life of the church. Mr. Morgan Jackson is its efficient secretary-treasurer, Mr. Jos eph Montier, president, and Mr. Vernon Scott, vice president. Member ship in the Brotherhood is open to well wishers and friends of the church who may be recommended. The Lenten services, both Sundays and week days, are being well attended and marked interest is being manifested by members and friends, to the great satisfaction of the priest. Special preachers are with us every Sunday evening and on a few Friday evenings during the Lenten season. On other Friday evenings the priest, Father Brown, delivers a course of FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Four, and Eight lectures on "The Book of Common Prayer." The Easter confirmation class is being prepared. Candidates and intending candidates are requested to meet the priest for instruction in the vestry at 6:30 every Sunday evening. A class of adults will resume the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. B. P. JOHNSON DEAD OF HEART FAILURE. The community received one of the shocks Monday which come from time to time, when Burwell P. Johnson, an old citizen, apparently in perfect health, was called from labor to reward by heart failure just before leaving home in the morning for his work in the state capitol. He was stricken and died at once. The funeral was held on Wednesday from the home, with Rev. Ward officiating. The home was filled with friends and the casket was buried beneath floral offerings. Among those present were Governor Shafroth, Mr. Burwell, after whose family Mr. Johnson was named, and other state house employees. The Masons of Rocky Mountain lodge officiated in a traternal capacity, acting on behalf of an El Paso lodge of which he is a member. A short service of song, scripture reading and addresses of Eulogy by Rev. Ward of whose church he was a member, by Governor Shafroth, for whom he worked, and by Mr. Burwell, with whom he was a child, preceded the last farewell by friends and family. Interment was at Riverside. A widow, two boys and one girl are bereft, besides her relatives, who knew and appreciated his worth and his relatives in Texas. ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE. On last Friday evening, despite the inclement weather, the Odd Fellows of all branches here in this city, three lodges and two households, assembled in Shorter church where there was a celebration of the anniversary of the birth of Peter Ogden. All the speakers were present as outlined on the programs. Their addresses covered the many phases of Odd Fellowship, its history, its purposes, the details of the branches. The audience was not what it would have been had good weather prevailed. But it was entirely responsive to the efforts of the order to put its best foot foremost. Another year this Odd Fellows' reunion will be established as one of the best efforts at union yet undertaken by any secret society. The Y. M. C. A. will meet Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Zion Baptist church. Every young man in Denver should be in this organization and get in line for the great work that is being promoted.

Arkansas Jury Frees Man Accused of Assault on Woman. BIG VICTORY FOR DEFENSE. Graphic Story of How Attorney Scipio A. Jones Broke Down State's Evidence in Sensational Criminal Case In Pulaski County Circuit Court. Case of Mistaken Identity. Little Rock, Ark.—The case against Lee Williams, charged with the crime of rape upon a white woman in Pulaski county, Ark., recently came up for trial in the circuit court of the said county and failed. Williams was indicted by the county grand jury and faced the court with a strong array of state witnesses against him. He was defended by Attorney Scipio A. Jones. According to the evidence given by the state, the woman had been criminally assaulted and Lee Williams was the man who had committed the crime. Williams had been thoroughly identified by the woman as her assailant. She had picked him out of a collection of seven colored men at police headquarters and declared him to be the guilty man. She knew he was the man. She had seen him several times before and knew him. She had previously failed to identify any one of several colored men brought before her, but by the time she saw Lee Williams she declared him to be her assailant. The state also produced some testimony which supported the main prosecuting witness. When the state closed its testimony it was the general impression of nearly all the spectators in the courtroom that the state had made out an iron-clad case and that Williams would surely be convicted and executed. And this conclusion was not at all strange, for Williams was a colored man and SCIPIO A. JONES, ESQ. had been declared by the white woman to be the criminal, and in such cases the custom has been that a conviction would follow. Against this ironclad case of the state Lawyer Scipio A. Jones, who represented Williams, proved possibly the most complete, the most sweeping and the most irresistible alibi that has been produced in the court in recent years. And with it he utterly annihilated the state's testimony, forcing the state to an unconditional surrender, with the result of a verdict of "Not guilty" by the jury. This meant, of course, the complete exoneration of his client. Williams had been employed by the Blissville Hardwood Lumber company. Mr. Jones produced an array of witnesses, time checks, time slips and written records, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that at the time of the alleged crime Lee Williams, the defendant, was on duty at this mill, which was 100 miles from the place of the alleged crime. The proof on the part of the defense showed that the prosecuting witness was mistaken in her identification of Williams. "She knew Williams was the guilty man. She knew she could not be mistaken about it." But she was mistaken, as Williams was not the man. This striking illustration of the imperfection of all human judgment teaches a valuable lesson and should be carefully considered by all the people, as it is of universal concern, and most especially should it be remembered by our courts and juries, not that guilty men may escape punishment, but that innocent men may not be put to death. The court and jury of Littie Rock and Pulaski county, Ark., are to be congratulated upon the spirit of fairness and justice exhibited by them throughout the trial, which was a great credit to that community, state and southland. The facts in this case and its final conclusion illustrate the splendid position held by Lawyer Jones in the courts and demonstrate his extraordinary skill and ability as a trial lawyer. Lawyer Scipio A. Jones in this one case in bringing forcefully to the minds of the people the universal frailty, weakness and uncertainty of all human conclusions as to ability to perceive clearly, remember correctly, describe accurately or identify truly in addition to preserving the innocent life of his client has rendered mankind universal service. He has made his way up on higher ground by close application, dint of hard study and labor. CAREER OF THE REV. A. J. STOKES His Achievements as Minister and Educator in Montgomery. FOUNDER OF GREAT SCHOOL First Baptist Church Holds Elaborate Exercises In Honor of the Twentieth Anniversary of Veteran Pastor—Sermon by President M. W. Gilbert of Selma University. Montgomery, Ala.—In a two weeks' celebration recently held in this city the colored people signally honored the Rev. Dr. A. J. Stokes, the veteran pastor of the First Baptist church. The event marked the twentieth anniversary of Dr. Stokes' pastorate in Montgomery and was participated in by the pastors and members of the various churches without regard to denomination. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., president of Selma university, who was a classmate of Dr. Stokes at Benedict college, Columbia, S. C. Dr. Stokes has the distinction of being the pastor of a church with the largest membership of any church among our people in the country, having an enrollment of more than 5,000, with over 2,000 active willing workers. He is in many respects a remarkable man, is of commanding influence in the state of Alabama and as far as his congregation is concerned is loved and revered. Dr. Stokes was born a slave in 1859. His father had purchased his own freedom and had paid for the freedom of his wife, with the exception of $14, when emancipation came. Consequently the earlier children were slave property at their birth. Through his father's help he received his education at Benedict college, finishing the course in 1884. Dr. Stokes went early into the ministry and has been one of the most successful church builders within his denomination. He has built eighteen churches in South Carolina, one being a $5,000 structure at Orangeburg, his home town; one in Clarksville, Teen; repaired a church and erected a parsonage in Fernandina, Fla. After taking the pastorate of the First Baptist church in this city Dr. Stokes completed the church, including all the interior work, and built its membership up until it has overtopped the 5,000 mark. He has had an eventful career in Montgomery. By his unusually manly stand upon political matters, announced in an emancipation address in 1897, he brought down a storm of denunciation upon his head through the agency of the white press; but, singularly enough, his congregation and other friends have always stood by him in whatever advanced step he has taken or advocated with reference to his people. He is pronounced in favor of a system of education which teaches children to be proud of their race and to that end began a school in Montgomery, known as the Montgomery academy, which is supported entirely by the membership of the First Baptist church. The school has been in existence about fourteen years and is attended annually by about 200 students. While the church is large as to membership and is what might be considered unwieldy, a remarkably well systematized management does away with any laxity in church management. The forty-two deacons have each a district under their immediate care and watchful supervision, so that the needs of any individual are speedily looked into and adjusted. Each deacon visits in his section, making careful report of conditions, and, to accommodate the pastor in his arduous work of calling upon his members, he has been provided with a handsome automobile. The church does a large amount of benevolent work among the poor people of the city and tenderly looks after any of its own members who are in any way unfortunate. Just now a handsome brick edifice is going up, at a cost of $55,000, and when the building is ready for occupancy in October every cent necessary to pay for its construction will have been paid. The building was designed by W. T. Bailey, the architect at Tuskegee institute, and is being erected by two colored contractors of Montgomery. The erection of this building is a fitting climax to the twenty years' service of a telling and helpful nature that Dr. Stokes has given to Montgomery. He is held in high esteem by the people of this city and state, and ever since he has been in Alabama he has been moderator of the Spring Hill District association. He is also treasurer of the National Baptist convention. Dr. Stokes is counted well off in this world's goods and has invested his salary for the most part in well paying farm land in and around Montgomery. He has a goodly amount of city property, a 720 acre farm near Wetumpka and thirty acres in rich cotton land within the corporate limits of Montgomery. Du Bois Has Not Changed His Views. The only thing new in the attitude of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois along socialistic lines is that not until recently has he connected himself with the Socialist political party. His views are the same in regard to capital and labor as applied to the workingman.

New Lighting Plant and Library Facilities Appreciated by Students. The completion of the new electric lighting power plant and the extension of the heating plant, through an expenditure of over $100,000, now give to Howard university, in Washington, an adequate supply of heat and light that should meet its needs for many years to come. For the first time the grounds are lighted. The buildings are also supplied with the quality and amount of light that under the former meager appropriation they were not able to afford. Power is also supplied for the running of the machinery in the department of manual arts, and an ample supply of electricity is available for the work in electrical engineering. The Carnegie library, with its enlarged facilities and increased equipment, has brought a new atmosphere of culture to the institution. No body of students ever showed a more enthusiastic appreciation of such opportunities as are now offered in that finest department of college instruction—namely, the use of books. The doors are open from 8 a. m. to 8:30 p. m. in the general library and to 10 p. m. in the medical room. The average attendance is from forty to eighty each hour. There have been 9,736 books borrowed for use during this scholastic year. There have been 823 accessions of bound volumes. In the cataloguing department 2,827 books have been placed in the card lists. The library now requires the work of the librarian, two permanent assistants and six student assistants. Dr. Washington's Northern Tour. During the latter part of March and the early part of April Dr. Booker T. Washington will make a tour through the northern part of New York, western Pennsylvania and points in Ohio in the interest of the Tuskegee institute. The object of these tours is to more fully acquaint the public with the work of the school and what the institution is doing for the race in sending out students and graduates fully prepared for leadership and uplift in the various lines of literary and industrial work among the masses.

The recent editorial by ex-President Roosevelt on "Lynching and Lawlessness" should center public attention upon a growing evil which is gnawing at the vitals of the Nation. As Mr. Roosevelt says, "when men grow accustomed to lynching men for one crime they speedily begin to lynch them for other crimes." "The usual crime," once alleged as the sole justifiable excuse for lynching, has now become the most unusual cause. Just as lynching and lawlessness cannot be confined to one cause, so it cannot be confined to one race or to one section of the country. Lawlessness is a swift and sure contagion which respects neither lines of latitude nor geographical demarcation. if slavery could have been confined to the South, there would have been no Republican party and no forcible emancipation. As the Nation could not live halt free fifty years ago, so it cannot endure half lawless and hold lawabiding today. The calling of a slave roll under the shadow of Bunker Hill monument then was no more improbable than the burning alive of human beings on Boston Common is likely now. Negroes by the thousands have been murdered, lynched, tortured, and burned alive with indescribable horrors, while the unabashed perpetrators laugh with ghoulish glee at the nullity of the law. Immunity from punishment is high license for lawlessness. Gruesome funeral pyres light the midnight sky with their dismal glare from Texas to Coatesville. The American people look impotently on with a momentary shudder, only to lapse into their accustomed mood, insure expectancy of another shock. At each horrid happening the press indulges in a heated spasm of righteous indignation, but soon grows cold again. The outlaws are rarely brought to trial, never to justice. The National conscience is becoming sore. Is this the final expression of our boasted American Christian civilization? Are the energies of the American people so focalized upon material values that the moral sense has become atrophied? The righteous enforcement of righteous law is the greatest practical issue before the nation today. For in this is involved not only its justification for existence, but also the perpetuity of its life. Loose talking and thinking has ascribed to Assessor Arnold full credit for the reductions in taxes this year. That is not fair to the poor, derided Rush bill, which after years of litigation has at last accomplished the actual consolidation of the city and county of Denver and brought about a reduction in the levy. A protest was registered with the mayor recently against the foul condition in which the pool is kept at the public bath house and against the absolute closing of the pool on the nights when colored people are supposed to use it. BISHOPS' COUNCIL NOTES. Executive Body of A. M. E. Church Showered With Requests For Aid. At the semiannual meeting of the council of bishops recently held in Baltimore the Rev. M. M. Penton, president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., accompanied by a delegation of ministers from his state, presented the needs of the institution to the council. As the college is largely supported by the farmers of the state and in view of the fact that their crops were partially destroyed by the boll weevil last year, President Penton urged that the council recommend to the general conference a substantial appropriation for the school to the end that the work of educating the masses of young men and women in that particular section of the south might not suffer for want of funds to meet current expenses. Bishop C. T. Shaffer was selected to deliver the quadrennial sermon at the opening session of the general lawmaking body of the denomination at the general conference in May. The quadrennial address to the church as a whole is being prepared by Bishop C. S. Smith, who has charge of the work of the A. M. E. church of Georgia. The bishops also heard a plea from a number of ministers of the Baltimore conference asking that they recommend that the general conference make an appropriation to aid Bethel church. Baltimore, of which the Rev. Dr. D. G. Hill is pastor. The church was bought over a year ago for $90,000. ```markdown ``` Office 926 Nineteenth Street. $2.00 1.00 .50 ers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen, paper when due, inform us by postal card dicate of the missing number.

Stid, of Mason, Mich., will never forget his terrible exposure to a merciless storm. "It gave me a dreadful cold," he writes, "that caused severe pains in my chest, so it was hard for me to breathe.

I did so and two bottles completely cured me." Use only this quick, safe, reliable medicine for coughs, colds, or any throat or lung trouble. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

On Monday evening there was a serious spell of bad weather, but within Shorter church, where the Y. M. C. B. was presenting Prof. H. T. Kealing, there was plenty of good speaking to offset it so that the audience was well repaid for braving the storm. His address was of the practical kind that is coming into vogue instead of the spread eagle oratory of the old time spell-binder. By no means did he lack eloquence, but the burden of his discourse was instructive rather than sentimental, so that the reason and conscience were appealed to more than the mere emotions. He showed that a man of weight appreciated the value of adversity for the training it gives and the preparation for greater things. The man of proper weight is the well rounded man. Through many details he followed this subject, throwing upon it the great light of his many-sided training and illustrating it by stories and similes that were pointed and fetching. At the close the gathering resolved itself into a social which continued until midnight. On Tuesday Prof Kealing went to Colorado Springs, where he spoke again. Mrs. Lillie arnes left Thursday for Indianapolis to join her daughters, Carrie and Pearl. Mrs. Hattie Bruce, who left last Saturday for California, spent a few days in Cheyenne with her sons. On the eve of her departure a surprise was given her by the friends. As a token of their esteem they presented her with a beautiful leather traveling bag and other remembrances. A very pleasant surprise was given Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cash on the occasion of the twenty-third anniversary of their marriage at their cosy residence on California street. They were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents and the evening was spent in music and singing and congratulations. The affair was under the skillful management of C. M. Hughes, Mrs. Hattle Oden, Mrs. Susie Davis, Misses Lillian Overstreet, H Maloney and Young. J. W. Wright of Kimball, Neb., was in the city last week.

Ladonia, Tex.-The progress which the Farmers' Improvement society of Colorado county, Tex., is making is a striking example of the possibilities open to our people in various sections of the south. The society was organized after much persistent effort on the part of the promoters to get the farmers to see the necessity for and realize the value to them of such an organization. One of the first matters to be considered after the society was formed was how to assist the members in getting rid of the credit system. Thus far a good many have wiped out the indebtedness which was on their homes and farms when the company started. The slogan of the members is to refrain from spending time and money upon foolish and harmful projects, to educate their children, buy homes and conduct their farms after the most approved and profitable agricultural methods. The society has secured a charter by which similar organizations may be formed. Already the movement has spread over Texas and Oklahoma. The society takes a leading part in the management of the college at Ladonia, Tex., which owns eighty-two acres of land, fine buildings, cattle and live stock. The institution is free of debt, and the prospects for building up a great school and a more thrifty community are very bright. It is only by such methods as these that the race in the rural districts of the south can hope to contribute its share to the advancement of society and raise the standard of living among those of our people who follow industrial pursuits. The effort of the society along such lines is worthy of the most exacting loyalty and co-operation which could possibly be given on the part of any class of people. HAMPTON HONORS NATAL DAY OF S. C. ARMSTRONG. Early Struggles of the Great Educator Told by Intimate Friend. Hampton, Va.—The recent observance of founders' day by the faculty and students of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute in this town was one of the most interesting and inspiring celebrations held for many years. The exercises were held in honor of the birthday of General S. C. Armstrong, who founded the school in 1868 and who was its honored president for a quarter of a century. The principal speaker of the occasion was Dr. E. W. Schauffler of Kansas City, Mo., who told the story of his association with General Armstrong in the work of taking care of the colored people who came to the tidewater location of Virginia toward the close of the civil war. Dr. Schauffler was also a coworker with the general in the freedmen's bureau. After the war, said Dr. Schauffer, General Armstrong was put in charge of a district of the Freedmen's bureau, with headquarters at Hampton. His district embraced the counties of Elizabeth City, Warwick, York, James City, Charles City, New Kent, King and Queen, Gloucester and Mathews. The only way of traveling over this large domain was on horseback or by sailboat. His duties as superintendent were varied. A thousand questions came up as to the title to land, what disposition to make of the colored people massed in this region, how to secure employment for them and how to wean the colored people from the support of the government. General Armstrong also had to care for the supervision of the schools which had been started by the American Missionary association and the Ounkers. During these trying days General Armstrong showed his marvelous faculty of getting along with all sorts of people. Against the opinions of his friends General Armstrong made up his mind to organize a school for Negro youth where the elements of a practical and Christian education would be taught. The Hampton school is a monument to the man who followed his ideals and turned his back on selfish ends to work for others. DR. EDWARD W. BLYDEN DIES Noted Statesman and Scholar Passes Away In Africa. Rev. Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden of Liberia, author, lecturer, statesman and diplomat, who died recently, was one of the most eminent scholars of the Negro race. He was born in the Danish island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, on Aug. 3, 1832. His parents, who were of pure Negro stock, belonged to the Dutch Reformed church, and the boy was baptized as a member of this denomination. His pastor, the Rev. John P. Knox, formerly of Newtown, N. Y., early picked the boy out as showing exceptional promise and advised him to come to the United States and enter an American college. Accordingly at the age of eighteen, with the assistance of his pastor, Mr. Blyden came to New York. This was in 1850, just after the passage of the fugitive slave law and in the height of the excitement over the slavery question. The young Negro made application for admission to several colleges, but all of them refused to receive him. It had been his intention to go to Africa as soon as he had obtained an education, and when he found the doors of American colleges closed against him he decided to go thither at once. In the fall of 1850 he sailed for Lamberia, and two years later he entered JUST will give Dishes Either New Subscriber All of them Yearly in Visit T and see the offer YOU CAN Only a little You can Only JUST SIX PERSONS will give you a Set of Dishes absolutely FREE Either New Subscribers, or Old Subscribers paying all indebtedness All of them becoming Subscribers Yearly in advance.

Only a little effort. the Alexander mgn school at Monrovia, named after Dr. Archibald Alexander of Princeton. At that time the colony of Liberia had been in existence about thirty years, but the republic was less than five years old. In the Alexander school he took the course in classics and mathematics, and in 1858 he became a teacher in the school. In 1861 he was appointed professor of languages in the newly founded Liberia college. After five years' service he received a leave of absence and occupied it in a trip to Egypt and Palestine. He also visited the Protestant college at Beirut as the guest of Dr. Jessup. Here he took occasion to improve the knowledge of Arabic which he had begun to acquire in Africa. On his return to Liberia Dr. Blyden continued his work of teaching until 1871, when he resigned and went on a trip through Europe. He was then appointed by the British government as diplomatic agent to make treaties with the powerful Mohammedan and pigan chiefs of the interior tribes of Africa. After three years of this work he again took charge of the Alexander high school, which had meant time been removed from Monrovin to the interior, twenty-five miles up St. Paul's river. In 1877 Dr. Blyden was appointed minister plenipotentiary to Great Britain and served in this capacity for three years. On his return to Monrovia he was elected president of Liberia college. He resigned in 1884 and took up independent educational work among the Mohammedans at Sierra Leone. In 1892 he was again appointed Liberian representative at the court of St James. From his early years Dr. Blyden was fond of the study of languages, and he possessed a working knowledge of French, German, Italian and Spanish among modern European languages and of Hebrew, Greek and Latin among the classics. His special field, however, was Arabic. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` FOR RENT We have a number of houses to rent at all times. We get new ones every day. Call and see us if you want to rent.

At last Denver has opened her eyes and say, what an awakening she is having, that is among the colored. On last Friday night at the now famous dancing hall, the Eureka, Dan Hoges, manager of the Boosters' Dancing club, had one of the most pleasant crowds in a long, long time. There were several big wine parties served in the palm garden. With the famous Holly trio in attendance some of the big parties consisted of such jolly folks as Mrs L. Horn, Mrs J. Bryant, Miss Maybell Green, Mrs G. Crow, Mrs N. Canners, Mrs S. Allen, Wm. Rollins, Robt. Elmore, James Wilson, Jack Clay, W. Scott, Orlando Jackson and many others, and they were all drinking the sparkling wine. The Boosters' Dancing parties are going to be the best what ever. FRANK ROGERS, THE VENTRILOQUIST Probably one of the cleverest Negro mimickers and ventriloquists on the American stage is Mr. Frank Rogers. He has one of the neatest acts, and everything has the air of class. He will be seen at the Orpheum theater in the near future. And his act is one well worth seeing. COOPER & ROBINSON. The team of Cooper & Robinson, the well known comedians, it is said, will come West on the Orpheum circuit the first of April with a new act that is a scream. Classy songs and jokes and everything to make one big round of entertainment. BROWN & SHETTAL. The fluffy ruffy team of Brown & Shettal that created such a big hit at the Pearl theater last week at Louisville, Ky., have signed a contract for a 30 weeks' engagement abroad. OTTO FLOTO COMES IN WITH JOHNSON. Ever since Jack Johnson has come into prominence as a fighter, so has Joel Floto, white sporting writer on the Denver Post, made it a business to roast him in every respect, leaving nothing undone. And the most surprising article ever published in his paper or column was issued last Monday night in the Denver Post when he came out and published quite a few facts concerning Johnson, something that he has never done before. There was a word in the write-up that didn't do him and Jack both a great deal of credit, and it is to be hoped that in the future Mr. Floto will give the Negro athletes a little more consideration than he has done heretofore. If such will be the case he will be classed with the world's best sporting writers. THE BLACK AN TAN QUARTETTE Opening this afternoon at the Pantages Crystal theater, four clever Denver boys going by the names of the Black and Tan Quartette, will open an engagement for a run of 15 weeks. The company consists of James Brown, Sam McDaniels, James Hickman and D. D. Green. The quartette is said to be one that is full of harmony and mirth from start to finish, and they are wished much success by all friends in and out of the profession. THE COLORED BALL TEAMS. The big eastern colored base ball teams have all gone into spring practice, and are all playing in the best of condition. The league association, this year, it is said, will expend many thousands of dollars this season in erecting base ball parks where all of the colored teams can play without having to cater to the white man. ELMER BOWMAN COMPOSES Mr. Elmer Bowman, formerly of this city and well known throughout the country for his cleverness as a song writer, has added three more big successful songs to his already large list of compositions. Mr. Bowman's latest songs are as follows: "That Puzzlin Rag," "Beans, Beans, Beans" and "Give Me a Little Bit of Lovin." And he also writes exclusively for Havland music publishing house, which is one of the largest producing houses in the country. Mr. Bowman has been in the music business for years and most successful, and it is hoped that he will as long as life lasts hold the csteem of the public. JOHN ELLISON ENTERTAINS. One of Denver's old time musicians and all around entertainers, Mr. John Ellison, who some years ago invaded .e East and now residing in New York City, has forged his way to the front, and is one of the high members or the well known Cleff club, one of the largest Negro musical organizations in the world. in the earth are sometimes heard before a terrible earthquake, that warn of the coming peril. Nature's warnings are kind. That dull pain or ache in the back warns you the kidneys need attention if you would escape those dangerous maladies, drops, diabetes or Bright's disease. Take Electric Bitters at once and see backache fly and all your best feelings return. "My son received great benefit from their use for kidney and bladder SHOCKING SOUNDS trouble," writes Peter Bondy, South Rockwood, Mich. "It is certainly a great kidney medicine."
