Richard Allen First Holder In Pennsyl- vania—Other Historical Data. Philadelphia.—When the first colored people owned property in the state of Pennsylvania is not definitely known. The records show that William Penn in his will, made in 1701, be queated 100 acres of land to one of his slaves whom he called "Old Sam." But there is no record of this land ever being transferred to Sam. Ninety years later, however, on Oct. 10, 1791, a property was purchased from Mark and Mary Wilcox of Philadelphia by Richard Allen and Flora his wife. On Oct. 13, 1794, this property was sold to the African Methodist Episcopal church, which is possibly the oldest property holder among the colored people in Pennsylvania. In 1796, in the minutes of the convention of the Society for the Promotion of the Abolition of Slavery, eighty-nine Negroes are reported as proprietors of houses, the average of which is said to be in the neighborhood of $200. In 1821 the assessed value of personal property owned by Negroes was $112,464, with a market value estimated to be $281,163. Eleven years later, in 1832, the colored people sent a memorial to the Pennsylvania legislature against an effort to disfranchise them, and in this memorial they state that they pay taxes on property to the amount of $2,500 and that their property, personal and real, has a market value of something like $300,000. In 1849 Edward Needles, a very prominent anti-slavery worker, reported in his book on "The Condition of Colored People" that there were 815 Negro property owners in the city of Philadelphia having real estate and personal property valued at $630,886 and seven years later the same author enlarged upon his book, giving new information. This latter report showed that $9,766.42 was paid in taxes and that the value of their real estate and personal property was $2,085,693. In his study of the Philadelphia Negro, published about 1899, Dr. W. E. Burghardt Dubois estimated that there was something like $5,000,000 worth of property owned by colored people. BEN BANNEKER BELIEVED IN ONENESS OF MANKIND Pioneer Advocate of Human Rights Not Ashamed of His Race. The following letter, written by Ben Banneker to Thomas Jefferson, is self explanatory and shows how the great heart of the one time country boy who won fame as a scientist longed for the freedom of the people of his race in America: Maryland, Battimore County, Near Elliott's Lower Mills, Aug. 19, 1791. Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State: Sir-I am fully sensible of the greatness of that freedom which I now take with you on the present occasion, a liberty which seemed to me scarcely allowable when I reflected on that distinguished and dignified station in which you stand and the almost general prejudice and prepossession which is prevalent in the world against those of my complexion. Sir, in consequence of the safety which hath reached me that you are a man far less inflexible in sentiments of this nature than many others; that you are measurably friendly and well disposed toward us, and that you are ready and willing to lend your aid and assistance to our relief from those many distressed and numerous calamities to which we are reduced. Now, sir, if this is founded in truth I apprehend you will readily embrace every opportunity to eradicate that train of absurd and false ideas and opinions which so generate your sentiments and respect to your sentiments are concurrent with mine, which are that one universal Father hath given being to us all and that he hath not only made us all of one --- mesh, but that he hath also without partiality afforded us all with the same faculties and that, however variable we may be in society or religion, however diversified in situation or color, we are all of the same family and stand in the same relation. Our, if these are the sentiments of which you are fully persuaded I hope you cannot but acknowledge that it is the indispensable duty of those who maintain for themselves the rights of human nature and who profess the obligations of Christianity to extend their power and influence to the relief of every part of the hu- Sir, I freely and most cheerfully acknowledge that I am of the African race and in that color which is natural to them of the deepest dye, and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the universe that I now confess to you that I am not under that state of tyrannical thrdalm and inhuman captivity to which many of my brethren are doomed, but that I have abundantly tasted of the fruition of the blessings which proceed from free and unequaled liberty with which you are favored and which, I hope, you have received from the immediate hand of that Being from whom proceedeth every good and perfect gift. Sir, suffer me to recall to your mind that time in which the arms and tyranny of the British crown were exerted with every powerful effort in order to reduce you to a state of servitude. Look back. I heard you say that you were in danger which you were exposed. Reflect on that time in which every human aid appeared unavailable and in which even hope and fortitude were the aspect of inability to your miraculous and providential preservation. You cannot but acknowledge that the present freedom which you have achieved which you enjoy you have mercifully received and that it is the peculiar blessings of heaven. LOTT CAREY CONVENTION HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. Reports at Recent Session Show Good Results For Year. Portsmouth, Va.—The annual session of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Baptist convention, held here recently, revealed the fact that the association is doing a most important work in the moral, spiritual and educational uplift of the people in Africa. Reports submitted showed that the convention has collected and received in pledges $6,000 for the work the fiscal year. Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Thomas, who have been engaged in missionary and educational work in West Africa, told an interesting story of the work and conditions there. A committee was appointed to confer with leading railway officials in regard to providing better accommodations on trains in the south. A plan for co-operation between the convention and the New England Baptist convention was agreed upon. Mrs. L. A. Hope, who has been president of the women's auxiliary for the past five years, retired, and Mrs. J. H. Randolph of Washington was elected in her stead. The next session will be held at the First Baptist church, Washington, in August, 1913. The officers of the convention are Professor C. S. Brown, Winston-Salem, N. C., president; Rev. W. J. Howard, Washington; Rev. H. L. Barco Virginia, vice presidents; Rev. J. H Hughes, Norfolk, Va., treasurer; A. W Pegnes, Raleigh, N. C., recording secretary; Rev. W. M. Alexander, Baltimore, corresponding secretary; Rev. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, Va., president of the executive board, and Nelson Williams, Richmond, Va., secretary to the board. The officers of the women's auxiliary are: Mrs. J. H. Randolph, Washington, president; Mrs. J. E. Blackwell South Richmond, Va., treasurer; Mrs A. L. McGullin, Baltimore, correspond ing secretary; Miss M. E. Wilson, Keysville, Va., recording secretary; Mrs. P. G. Shepherd, Keysville, Va., chairman of the board of managers. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 14. 1912. FIRST LAW FIRM IN NEW STATE Eventful Career of Attorney Sawner In Oklahoma. ORGANIZED COTTON MARKET Brief Account of the Achievements of a Man Who Divides Time Between the Practice of Law and the Mercantile Business—Authority on Relation of Soil to Crop Production. Among the many men of prominence from the far southwest who attended the annual meeting of the National Negro Business league recently held in Chicago was Attorney G. W. F. Sawner of Chandler, Okla. He is known quite widely as one of the pioneers of the early history and development of the state. He is a thorough race leader and a man of excellent business proclivities. Shortly after Oklahoma was admitted into the union of states Mr. Sawner took up permanent residence in Guthrie. It was not long after settling there before he put into practice what he had long held as a strong lever for racial advancement, namely, co-operation in business. With this resolve in view the law firm of Twine, Saddler & Sawner was formed. This was the first law firm of colored American attorneys in Guthrie, and possibly the first in the new state. Through the wise counsel of these three lawyers the way soon opened for other men of the profession to gain recognition in the courts of the state. So that at the present time men who have made their way to the front in the legal profession cite the fact that to the old firm of Twine, Saddler & Sawner is due the credit for doing real pioneer work. After practicing law for a few years Mr. Sawner turned his attention to buying cotton, which was the staple crop of the country at that time. Having had experience previously in his home state, Texas, and by careful study of conditions in a new section and a new soil, he became an expert, and for nearly twenty years in the state he has been an authority on all matters affecting the crop and the staple. During the time which he has been in the business he has handled an immense amount of the staple and has a standing in the market equal to that of any man in the state. In localities where the colored people have established settlements of their own he has been the first buyer to establish a market for them. He is the first man of our race to buy cotton upon his own responsibility in the state. Mr. Sawner is now a resident of Chandler, Okla., where he owns valuable city and farm property aside from an elegant home. He is perhaps the only Afro-American who has been in touch with the English market, he having sold cotton from Boley to the Liverpool market at one time with a consignment of $10,000, a check for which he received solely upon his reputation as a man of honest business methods. Mr. Sawner still engages in the practice of law, but devotes most of his time to buying cotton. He is also prominent in the politics of the state and is a leader in the political affairs of the county in which he lives. AN EDITOR'S STRUGGLES. How Charles Sumner Smith Runs the Twin City Star. If up through difficulties is the way to success Charles Sumner Smith, founder and editor of the Twin City Star, Minneapolis, Minn., is an example worthy of imitation. With true ambition, energy and self reliance as his capital, Mr. Smith started his paper a year or so ago with odds against him. Located in a city and section of the country where the Afro-American pop- ulation is small, it took courage to undertake to run a newspaper single handed. Unlike the Apostle Paul, who desired to be all things to all men, Mr. Smith has been all things to himself, editor, compositor, proofreader, subscription agent, advertising agent, office boy and general manager. He tells a thrilling story of his struggles to give our people a clean, readable progressive weekly paper in Minneapolis. The motto adopted by Mr. Smith for the Star is, "Free Voice of the Press." Under this banner he has fought the battles of the public against A. B. CHARLES SUMNER SMITH. gainsayers without fear or favor. But by honesty and a fixed purpose to be a helper in the uplift of his race Mr. Smith has won public favor, and the Star still shines above the dark clouds, giving hope and inspiration to the race. Charles Sumner Smith is a native of Petersburg, Va. After completing the public school course he entered the Peabody high school, of which he is a graduate. His first newspaper experience was gained while connected with the Virginia Lancet. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and gained official recognition as a volunteer yellow fever nurse. When asked to what forces he contributed his success Mr. Smith replied, "Heedling the good advice of my parents, first, and, second, in business, to the advantages of the plate service of the American Press Association and especially the feature known as the Afro-American page, of which service I have the exclusive use in Minneapolis." Montgomery and McLeod as Statesmen Mount Bayou, Miss., founded twenty-five years ago by Isaiah T. Montgomery, is the oldest and most successful municipality in the south founded and controlled exclusively by colored Americans. The next most successful and perhaps the largest town ruled by colored men is Boley, Okla. Mayor W. H. McLeod of Boley is a native of Tennessee, but has made Boley his home since 1907. In 1909 Mr. McLeod was elected mayor of the town of Boley, a position which he still holds. Mr. Montgomery was the first mayor of Mound Bayou. The Press and Business Enterprises. That the best of feeling should exist between the press, business concerns, secret and social society is self evident. Each should be a promoter of the other's interest, for therein lies mutual benefit. The National Negro Press association at its recent annual meeting voiced its sentiments in this direction by adopting strong resolutions calling for closer union between commercial enterprises and newspapers as essential to greater industrial progress. Two Necessary Elements to Success. In 1894 R. L. Houston of Fort Worth, Tex.. was working as a porter on a salary of $3 per week. A few years ago Mr. Houston went into the undertaking business and now owns a block of houses in the business section of the town. He is highly respected by both colored and white citizen. He ascribes his success to economy and strict attention to business. FOR RENT—Nice front room for man and wife, or 2 gentlemen. Modern Mrs. J. H. Watking. 2926 Glenarm.

The closing of the rally was amid much enthusiasm. The membership made sacrifices as great or greater than in any year before to overcome the hard conditions and the result was most gratifying to the officers and pastor as well, as pleasing to themselves. In the limited time before he was leaving the city, Rev. Over in the evening service heard from the several companies, applauded the hard work done and rewarded the leading captain, Luther Walton, who raised over $100, by giving him a cash price of $20.

Earnest and Helpful Co-operation Between Publishers, Correspondents and Business Enterprises Keynote For the Future—Knox Presides at First Session. Chicago.—The recent fourth annual meeting of the National Negro Press association held in this city marked the beginning of a new era of earnest and helpful co-operation between publishers and correspondents. In the absence of President M. M. Lewey, George L. Knox, the veteran proprietor of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman, presided at the opening session. Mr. Knox gave the younger men much encouragement in pledging his support in an effort to build up a strong organization of newspaper men. Recording Secretary Henry Allen Boyd presided at the second session until after the election of officers. The JOHN H. HARRIS sessions held were all helpful. Over fifty papers were represented. Interesting addresses were made by Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark.; Charles Sumner Smith, editor of the Twin City Star, Minneapolis, Minn.; Dr. A. J. Carey and others. The association unanimously adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, The National Negro Press association, in fourth annual meeting assembled, recognizes with pride the rapid strides of the race along educational, religious, commercial lines and realizing that this advancement is due largely to the influence and power of the press, we hereby set forth the following resolutions: Resolved, That we deplore the continued disregard for law and order in certain sections of our country where lynchings and other forms of lawlessness occur and believe that only through the many measures can our rights as American citizens be secured and respected. We also put ourselves on record as being opposed to segregation, disfranchisement and discrimination in every form that is based solely on the question of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Resolved, That the National Negro Press assures us its appreciation to the American Press Association of New York city for opening its service to the Negro press of the country through the Afro-American page, edited by Mr. N. Barnett Dodson of that city, and that we heartily indorse said Afro-American page and urge all editors of race papers to use this service. Resolved, That we favor a uniform rate for advertisements based on an accurate statement of circulation and that we condemn fake advertisements. Resolved, That we print the news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing evil or overlooking the constructive features of our race's progress. Advertisement is the life of business, and we urge greater reciprocity between business men and racial journals. Powerfully submitted, John L. Thompson, Iowa, chairman; Gurley Brewer, Indiana; A. N. Fields, Illinois; M. T. Bailley, Illinois; Lawrence C. Jones, Mississippi, secretary. The newly elected officers of the National Negro Press association are as follows: R. W.

FOUNDER OF THE ORDER OF TENTS Remarkable Work of the Late Annetta Lane. ASSISTED MANY TO FREEDOM Story of Great Race Benefactor Who Contributed Time and Money In Effort to Uplift Her People—Growth of Organization a Tribute to Her Genius and Worth. By GEORGE F. KING. Norfolk, Va.—The great benefactors of the Afro-American people have come from the obscure ranks. Every movement for civil, intellectual and religious freedom has caused a toll on the brain and enacted sacrifice and endurance on the part of those who encourage and foster such movements in their incipiency. Among the Afro-American people there are concrete evidences that some of the strongest of their number are doing real service. An example of those characters who have made it possible for our people to enjoy certain advantages was the late Mrs. Annetta Lane. She was born in this city April 14, 1838, when the "underground railway" was effective. Her enthusiasm for the possibilities of her people was so intense that she became a potent factor in this agency that liberated thousands of her race from slavery. It is said that she delighted in carrying messages to and from some poor slave who was seeking to escape to a land where the terrible curse of slavery had been forever wiped out. Mrs. Lane's father gave her a valuable coral necklace, for which she had oftimes been offered pleasing prices, but these offers she readily declined. Yet when she heard of a family that were on board an outgoing vessel who did not have the price of the passage she willingly placed it in the hands of the captain and said, "Take this and let it go, that they may be free." Daily her affections ripened, and her holy inspiration permeated the common life about her until the lowly element [Name not visible] THE LATE ANNETTA LANE. recognized in her a shield and an armor. She stood forth as a shelter for thousands of the poor and weak people of her race and created an ennobling atmosphere about them. She had stored up such helpful things for humanity that during her entire life she was distributing from her treasures of mind and heart. During the year 1866 she founded the first and only organization with its membership composed of and officered by women of her race. This organization is known as the United Order of Tents of J. R. G. and J. U. Being a woman of exceptional business perception and ability to organize and direct the affairs of the fraternity upon a comprehensive and safe basis. The scope of the movement can readily be appreciated when the following figures are taken into consideration. Since the founding of the endowment department of the order eight years ago $138,007.16 is the amount that has been paid out from this department. Each month not less than $1,500 is paid out for death claims. For fourteen years this organization has conducted an Old Folks' home at Hampton, Va. Mrs. Lane died Oct. 24, 1908, and the mantle of this illustrious character fell upon her daughter, who had been especially trained to continue the work of her mother. Mrs. S. L. Bonney is a woman eminently fitted for social service among her people, and she is imbued with the spirit that made her mother to be loved in all sections of the country and by both races in her native state. Mrs. Bonney has her finger tips on every part of the large fraternity, which is continuing its remarkable strides under her judicious and progressive management. She is another concrete example of woman's ability to accentuate the progress of civilization. In every section of the country she is received with eclat because she is keeping intact the greatest financial movement among women of her race. The organization recently purchased ground and is now preparing to build a home office in this city at a cost of about $15,000. This building will be among the fitting tributes of the splendid energies of the mother of Mrs. Bonney.

NEW HOME FOR ODD FELLOWS THROUGH PAYING HIGH RENT. Time Honored Secret Body Provides Permanent Headquarters Large Enough For Itself and Many Other Fraternal, Business and Social Enterprises—State Officials Present. By N. BARNETT DOD5ON. Brooklyn.—The question of a suitable building in which the various secret and benevolent orizations of the city might hold their business meetings and public social functions is one which has been discussed here for many years. Many movements in the direction of ownership of a building by the colored citizens have been started and abandoned. Brooklyn has many large secret and benevolent societies, with hundreds and thousands of dollars which might have co-operated long ago and erected such a building as is needed for their work, but for one cause or another they have been contented with paying high rentals for poor accommodations. Several years ago Alpha Lodge No. 1381 of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows purchased a piece of property on Nassau street at a cost of $45,000. This property was reconstructed and fitted up for lodge purposes and was the central gathering place for many organizations until about four years ago, when Alpha lodge sold it to the city, as it was in the path of condemned property, made so by a city ordinance to make room for the extension of the subway. Since selling the Nassau street building the lodge has not had a permanent home. Its officers, however, have been constantly on the look out for another piece of property. During the past summer they have been negotiating for the building known as True Reformers' hall, corner of Waverly and Atlantic avenues. About the middle of August they closed negotiations for the above named building, which will be fitted up for lodge purposes. Alpha lodge is the oldest among the Odd Fellows fraternity on Long Island. It was incorporated over thirty years ago, and included in its membership at that time such distinguished men as the late Dr. William T. Dixon, who was for forty-six years the honored pastor of the Concord Baptist church; Dr. George S. Phillips, Charles H. Lansing and others. Much credit for this new achievement of the lodge is due to Benjamin Williams and Edward Henry, president and secretary respectively of the board of trustees of Alpha lodge. Provision will be made in the new hall for all lodges and other organizations, social or business, which may desire accommodation. The building was formally dedicated with appropriate ceremonies Wednesday evening, Sept. 4. The ceremonies were attended by many secret and benevolent societies, as well as by prominent citizens in and from out of town. The state grand master of the order and his official staff were the guests of honor of the organization. The board of trustees consists of Benjamin Williams, president; Edward Henry, secretary; Peter H. Fisher, treasurer; John A. Oliver, Edward C. Burgess, Perry H. Wilson and Nathan W. Davis. The purchase of this hall has created much interest in fraternal circles, and is regarded as a move of far reaching importance to the colored people of Brooklyn. CENSUS FIGURES WRONG? Hen. H. C. Smith Questions Count of Afro-Americans In Cleveland. In giving the Afro-American population of the four largest cities in Ohio the 1910 census credits Cincinnati with 19,660; Columbus, 12,800; Springfield, 4,945, and Cleveland, 8,736. The Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, who is a resident of Cleveland, takes exception to the small number credited to his home city. . Mr. Smith says there are 20,000 Afro-Americans in Cleveland, if there is one. Eight or ten thousand of them can be gathered together in one place in the city without that number being scarcely missed in another part of the town. According to Mr. Smith's statement, there are over 9,000 of our people directly or indirectly connected with the churches and missions, which number about fifteen. The figures as above given were tabulated by Professor M. M. Curtiss of Cleveland, who had charge of the 1910 census for the department of commerce and labor in Cleveland and vicinity. Importance of the Literary Society. While there are numerous organizations for mutual benefit in a financial way among our people throughout the country, we should not underrate the importance of the literary or debating society. There should be two or three such organizations in every large city where our people form any considerable number of the population. Nothing is more helpful to the young men and women as the opportunity to develop their intellectual knowledge through the agency of the literary society.

Sheyney, Pa.—The Institute For Colored Youth at this place is one of the oldest normal schools for our people in the United States. The institution was established through the benevolence of the Quakers of Pennsylvania in 1837. It has accomplished much for intellectual advancement among the people of the state. Professor H. M. Browne, principal of the school, was fortunate this year in having Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., deliver a series of lectures to the students at the summer school. Dr. Wright's subject was "Sociology For Teachers." The spirit of industry among the colored people of the state was never so widely felt as it has been during the past five years. Dr. Wright's new book on the Pennsylvania Negro—a study in economic history—has added new impetus to the already growing spirit of material uplift which seems to pervade every section of the commonwealth. Difficulties must clear the track when the industrial train is driven by the forces of unity, co-operation and self reliance. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT AUTO O.

INTERMARRIAGE The question of intermarriage is again brought prominently before the public by the attempt of the white wife of a champion Negro prize fighter, to take her life. One daily paper produces the small modicum of fact garnished about with so much heart-rending pity for the woman that she appears to have been sinned against as no other woman in the world has ever been. The sordid facts are that she made her choice of a husband, grew dissatisfied with life and took the coward's way out of it. It is wasted effort to attempt to ascribe feelings of shame to her when she found herself in contact with black men for the marriage was her own voluntary choice. It is wasted effort to attempt to make much ado over intermarriage of the black and white races, in the light of the fact that the white race wherever it has opened up new country from the north pole to the African desert has sustained marriage relations with the women of the country. Romance has done its best to glorify the union of some races and prejudice its worst toward others. The principle of them all is the same. From civilization's birth men have done the same. The American press is a veritable scandaler to make much over the few intermarriages that occur in this country. NINTH CAVALRY GOES TO THE FRONT The Ninth Cavalry has answered the call of duty and gone to the front. It passed through this city this week in several detachments, bound for Douglas, Arizona, on the border of Mexico, where it will probably find active duty. The government is considering intervening in Mexico in the interest of saving the lives and property of foreign residents, and the Ninth will be early in the field should this transpire. It is needless to say that this regiment, tried on a hundred battle fields, will acquit itself well. The people of Wyoming and Colorado, having come to know the troops well, are deeply concerned and wish them a peaceful return if possible, but if not, then a soldier's fame whatever the price. THE .PROOF .OF THE. PUDDING The small number of citizens who expressed their preferences at the Republican and Democratic primaries under the direct primary law, is fairly good proof that there has not been the call from the people for this kind of legislation that the legislature thought there was. In theory direct primaries are perfect, yet this theory goes for nothing if the citizens do not participate. Only 4,000 Republicans voted, about twenty to the precinct. Such a poor showing after all the agitation, after all the difficulties which the law imposes upon the voter who does not participate, makes it clear that such a law lacks much of filling the needs of Colorado. There is no need of argument—the facts speak for themselves. Such a small vote is no more than was cast for Republican candidates under the old hat on cigar box ballot. Worst of all, this new law which attempts to control the expenditure of candidates, only serves to make the more effective the man with money. While he may not expend it directly, men of larger affairs through advertising business, control the policies of many newspapers and they in turn can give to the candidate they want, an advantage over poorer rivals which they cannot overcome. Money is the price of publicity, and publicity is success under the direct primary law. With two years' private music lessons free. Sale now on.

The choir covered itself with glory last Sunday afternoon on the occasion of the annual sermon of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of Campbell's A. M. E. Church. Many words of praise came from the pastor and congregation. Some of the faithful attendants of the mid-week prayer service got together in the absence of the pastor and arranged a neat surprise to the Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, editor of the Western Star of Zion, last Friday evening. Speeches galore from the various departments of the church made the professor feel that he had made some real substantial friends among the members of Scotts.

E. church is quite an epoch. The pastor and his esteemable wife have labored hard. This closes two successful years for Rev. Brown in Trinidad. He is an excellent person in council and organizer, and stands in the front ranks with all the best people; he is the only Negro that was ever accorded the honor of being a member of (white) Ministers' union in this city. All the ministers hold bottles did me more real good than him in high esteem. The Magnolia Chapter No. 56, order of the Eastern Star, and the Trinidad Dramatic Club honor Rev. Brown in the highest terms expressable. In Wednesday night the club and chapter gave the complete exhibition of Jephtha and his Daughter. This is indeed one of the most popular plays for the church, that is on tab, especially was it so on this occasion as the club from the manager down was there on the spot. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the Chapter. Mrs. Jannie Blockwood was the superintendent, who was up to the dignity of the occasion. When the joy and merriment gave way for silence, there was a purse of $10 put into the hands of Mrs. Eches by Mrs. Jannie Blockwood Mrs. Ecles held the audience in profound silence for a brief space of time in which she word clear and accents rare, paid a beifting tribute of honor to Rev. Brown and his wife. The Worthy Matron of Magnolia Chapter No. 56, O. E. S., presented Rev. Brown with the purse and contents, on behalf of the Club and Chapter. He made a short speech on the acceptance. Thus closed one of the most eventful evenings ever had in Grace Chapel. Rev. Chas. Henry, pastor of St. Paul's Baptist Church, preached for Rev. Brown at 3 p. m., Sunday. There was a good crowd to hear him. Rev. Henry and Rev. Brown both set the right example for their people, for they both believe in the union that binds all true worshippers together, so they can feel each others care. Rev. Brown left Rev. B. Heron in charge while he is away to the conference. Miss N. L. Brown, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Brown left, Thursday, for Oklahoma City, Okla., where she will resume her duties as teacher in the high school. MANY DRIVEN FROM HOME.

Nothing, except murder, is meaner than the attempt to degrade and segregate by unfair methods a class of citizens which grew up with the republic, gave it nearly 300 years of free labor, helped to win its freedom and has never been guilty of disloyalty to the country's Bag Encouraging Signs of Advancement. The ability of the colored people of the United States to compete with the people of other races under similar circumstances is clearly evidenced in the advance which they have made in education, business and the acquisition of personal and real property. This is as it should be. There is no reason for the existence of poverty or ignorance among any people if they are industrious and make good use of a fair opportunity to earn an honest living. ```markdown ``` Richmond Public School Teachers.

GOOD ORCHESTRA ADMISSION 50c THANKS! With feelings of the deepest gratitude, I wish to thank my friends whose assistance made possible my success in being nominated as one of the candidates whom the Republican party will present to all the voters at the November election for the state legislature. It happens that the recommendation of the Republican assembly which placed my name upon the primary ballot, came unsought and in a degree unwelcome, since I have never aspired to public office. I have been glad to serve others, but have not sought office for myself and was reluctant to depart from my habit. However, the arguments of those with whom I discussed the matter convinced me that the assembly recommendation was more than a personal matter and should be viewed as an effort of the assembly to give representation to colored citizens; and, therefore, I was not at liberty to act according to my own desires, but must consider the effect on the race. I am now glad that I took that view, for the work done to elect me by members of the race is convincing proof that they felt interested. Not one but many devoted time and effort to elect me and the vote I received is an honor to them and a reward of merit. The work of them all was free will, it was the outgrowth of their loyalty. I thank you, one and all. I thank you not merely for what it means to me, but because it makes the heart glad to know that the time has come when the race believes in its own. F. C. Payne leaves Sunday for a month's visit in Washington and Virginia. Mesdames Grice Haskins and McKeether entertained at dinner at West Brothers Saturday, complimentary to Mrs. Fred Cummings. A. G. Falling faded out of sight last week and hied himself to Topeka, where he took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Pearl McNell. The bride is well known in this city having visited here several times. They arrived home Sunday and are at home for the present at 2337 Glenarm place. Mr. Fallings and Mrs. Fallings are both highly esteemed in a wide circle of friends who wish them Godspeed in their wedded life. The congregation of Campbell Church is justly proud of the work it has just completed for this conference year under the leadership of Rev. Pope. The reports sent to Conference are excellent, notwithstanding the pastor is serving his first year. What many do not know is that Rev. Pope is one of the strong men of the church, formerly serving the largest churches in his conference in Alabama. His presence in the west for a few years recuperating is Colorado's gain. The Railroad Men and Walters' Club is active these days supplying help to several large employers. The men who are members of the club are deriving considerable advantage from the activities of the manager, Frank Burnley, in this respect. In the meanwhile the social side of the club is better than ever. The larger equipment has filled a long felt want.

Franklin Bray, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Phoenix, Ariz., was in the city early in the week, stopping over a few hours with his brothers and sisters. His presence en route to Cheyenne is caused by the fact that the General Conference did away with the Arizona Conference joining it again to the Colorado Conference. J. S. Groves, wife and daughter of Edwardsville, Kansas, were in the city last week, being shown about by George Groves, to whom they are related. He is the famous "Potato King" of Kansas and is a man of considerable wealth. Mrs. J. Georgia has returned from Kansas where she went to bury her mother.

The present interpretation of the direct primary law is such that voters who did not participate in the direct primary on Tuesday will have to register again in order to vote in November. The facts will come out in plenty of time for all voters to be ready. The changes in the law cause perpetual vigilence to be the price of voting in Colorado. ENLARGING THE BUSINESS. There are large changes going on in the Five Points Pool Room. Mr. Page is having the rear wall changed so as to make it more commodious. He has taken over the upstairs under lease, and plans to accommodate boarders with regular meals. The business has grown steadily along perfectly legitimate lines until it is a favorite pleasure resort out at the Points. CONSUMPTION I was a lunger, suffering for a long time.

"I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Professor W. L. Thomas, professor of sociology in the University of Chicago. Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee—industry and discipline are made a habit. The choice of some 40 trades are offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50 to $80 and $100 per month as academic teachers, farm managers, steam and electrical engineers, tailors, teachers of domestic science, nurses—in fact, the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply. The academic work is vital and real; it is close to realities. The school seeks soundness and efficiency; the academic and industrial work are closely correlated. The spiritual work of the school is strong. It ranks fifth in the United States in number of students studying the Bible. It is guided by a Chaplain and a Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and through a Bible Training School. Morning drills for boys; special gymnastic training for girls; swimming pools for boys and girls; attractive grounds; more than 100 buildings—large, comfortable, airy, electric lighted; 186 teachers.

Promoter of Industry Among the People of Boley, Okla. The Boley Commercial club, Boley, Okla., was organized six years ago. From a small beginning it has grown to large proportions as a strictly business concern. It has a membership of 127 of the most progressive citizens of the town. The mission of the club is to foster and develop the commercial and industrial interests of the community. In this it has done marvelous things for the people. It is in truth an active, well equipped board of trade. W. A. Kennedy, president of the club, is a successful merchant; Vice President T. M. Haynes is a banker and real estate dealer; Secretary Isaac W. Young is a practicing physician; C. L. White, the treasurer, is a hardware dealer and Auditor E. O. Tyler is a successful attorney. Among other men who act in an official capacity are L. P. Foster, who is in the hotel business; William Knight is a cotton merchant, B. F. Brown is an agriculturist, M. A. Sorrell is city justice and the Hon. M. J. Jones is a lawyer. Unjust Laws Tend to Breed Strife. The city council at Portsmouth, Va. is puzzling its brains in an attempt to form a segregation ordinance which will conform to the state law. The ordinance committee has finally referred the whole matter to Acting City Attorney R. Clifford Barclay and City Engineer Cassell. Such unjust laws only tend to breed strife between the white and colored people, which benefits neither. Work of Bishop College Praised. Much satisfaction is expressed concerning the work of Bishop college, in Marshall, Tex. The Baptist Home Mission society has stood by this institution for many years and is still its friend and great benefactor. TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE. Brave Haitian General, Though Treacherously Dealt With, Showed Mercy. Toussaint L'Ouverture, the black chiefman of Haiti, was a slave on the Plantation de Libertas, belonging to M. Bayou. When the rising of the Negroes took place, in 1791, Toussaint refused to join them until he had aided M. Bayou and his family to escape to Baltimore. The white man had discovered in Toussaint many noble qualities and had instructed him in some of the first branches of education, and the preservation of his life was owing to the Negro's gratitude for his kindness. In 1797 Toussaint L'Ouverture was appointed by the French government general in chief of the armies of Santo Domingo and as such signed the convention with General Maitland for the evacuation of the island by the British. From this period until 1801 the island under the government of Toussaint was happy, tranquil and prosperous. The miserable attempt of Napoleon to re-establish slavery in Santo Domingo, although it failed of its intended object, proved fatal to the Negro chieftain. Treacherously seized by Le Clerc, he was hurried on board a vessel by night and conveyed to France, where he was confined in a cold subterranean dungeon at Besançon, where in April 1803, he died. The treatment of Toussaint finds a parallel only in the murder of the Duke D'Enghein. It was the remark of Godwin in his lectures that the West Indian islands since their first discovery by Columbus could not boast of a single name which deserves comparison with that of Toussaint L'Ouverture. From Blacksmith to Lumber Merchant. One of the most successful lumber merchants in Louisiana is C. B. Combs, who does a yearly net business of $10,000 and owns and cultivates a farm of 160 acres.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them. For treatment, call on or address: AGENT FOR "PORO" HAVE YOU TRIED IT? JOHN H. HARRIS A trial will convince you that Rev. Henderson's tooth powder is the best on the market.

Baptist Host In Old North State Makes Phenomenal Progress Under the Effective Leadership of President A. M. Moore—Young People's Union Also In Flourishing Condition. By GEORGE E. KING. Lumberton, N. C.—The fortieth annual session of the North Carolina Baptist State Sunday school convention, recently held here, brought together the most enthusiastic contingent of Sunday school workers of one denomination that has ever met in this section of the country. During the three days the convention was in session there was evidenced such a spirit for the conservation of every interest of this work that indications are that during the present year's work of the convention there will be a deep awakening on the part of Sunday school workers in all parts of the state. The convention represented twelve districts, 385 schools with an aggregate membership of 22,000. The leader of this movement, who was the cynosure of the eyes of hundreds of representative men and women, is Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, N. C. He is regarded as a potent factor in all the agencies at work in this state for the uplift of the race. Dr. Moore has made his first year as president of the convention the most successful in the history of the organization. By his comprehensive grasp upon the affairs of the organization it has made phenomenal strides. The educational and missionary features of the convention have been made strong elements for uplift. Last year the JOHN H. BURKE convention supported twenty-nine girls in various schools in the state, and it is giving impetus to the material progress of twenty-three secondary schools in North Carolina. He is an ardent believer in sustaining such agencies that will properly mold the character of the young people of the race. He has made a careful study of conditions in the south and is endeavoring to make this convention a potent factor in solving some of the problems that confront the church. By the introduction of his progressive ideas he has kindled a new enthusiasm in the convention and has every department down to a practical basis. He is one of that class of men who bring things to pass by having harmony. A new movement in the missionary department has been inaugurated. One of the ablest young men in the ministry in this state and a graduate from the college and theological departments of Lincoln university, Rev. O. S. Bullock, was elected superintendent of the missionary department. He is excellently qualified to direct the forces in his new field. Dr. Moore presented plans that were unanimously adopted that will bring better results for the missionary activities of the convention. The state B. Y. P. U. convention meets with the Sunday school convention. This religious movement held the best annual meeting in its history. The program was pregnant with wholesome features. Like the Sunday school convention the deliberations were full of saneness, and reflected credit upon this large body of Christian workers. The conventions meet next year in Charlotte, N. C. Dr. Moore is superintendent of one of the best organized Sunday schools in the country. White Rock Baptist church, Durham, presents an inspiring scene every Sunday morning. This Sunday school has such men of international reputation connected with it as Dr. James E. Shepard and Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association. Flourishing Business Organization. The Mutual Aid association of Mobile, Ala., was organized sixteen years ago with six members. In August it reported having written $10,000,000 worth of insurance, and has paid to the heirs of deceased members $3,100,000. The association employs over 500 representatives in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. THE NEW POLITICAL PARTY. What Afro-American Papers Are Saying About the Movement. "For all time in the history of this country after the election next November the Afro-American will be found in all parties, and if the bull mooses accomplish nothing else they will have done well. It is a mighty good thing for the 'colored brother.'"—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. "We indorse the spirit of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's letter to Julian Harris, the Atlanta (Ga.) journalist, for the position he takes on the race issue in the south. He does not sidestep the issue, but deals with facts as they really are. Except to dispute what we all know to be true, there is no room for argument to the contrary of the colonel's position."—Philadelphia Solid Rock Herald. "At first the new Progressive party looked like the solution of the whole problem until Colonel Roosevelt expressed the wish that no colored men in the south should have any part in the birth of the new party. That in itself is enough to give the 'illy white' enthusiastics more encouragement than they have received throughout the whole Taft administration, and Mr. Taft is the daddy of all the illy whites." - Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. "But is it a crime to support Mr. Roosevelt, or would one be read out of the party of Republicanism by so doing? Colored Republicans today are divided between the two Republican candidates. Some are for President Taft and some are for the former president."—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. "Theodore Roosevelt was more guilty of ignoring the deprivation of the constitutional rights of colored men than any of his Republican predecessors. He was the first Republican to go further and add a positive act of injustice and deliver a shocking blow at our rights. He was the first to call for the political heads of all those old fashioned Republicans who opposed injustice to colored men."—Indianapolis (Ind.) Recorder. "President Taft has been criticised, but he is 'an angel of light' to the colored man as compared to the brutal declarations of the brilliant Progressive candidate from Oyster Bay, N.Y."—Richmond (Va.) Planet. "Roosevelt the just, the champion 'square dealer,' the redeemer of all unfortunate humanity, the adjuster of people's rights, the world's reformer, has at last thrown the die which will be the fate of all his aspirations and the undoing of all his political achievements. In his endeavor to break up the 'solid south' he would disfranchise the entire Negro race in the south. His aim is to create a 'ily white' party in which the Negroes have no part. Roosevelt knows that the Negroes have been disfranchised in nearly all the southern states, and, rather than help them to regain their citizenship, he treats them as a nonentity and places greater barriers before them."—Harrisburg (Pa.) Advocate-Verdict. "Mr. Roosevelt's letter to Julian Harris explaining his new Negro policy is a vast cloud of words. Over the entrance to the Progressive party he puts up the placard, 'No Negroes Need Apply.' He comes out squarely for a white man's party in the south. Negro delegates from southern states, though chosen with as good a title as any white man, were steam rollered out of his Chicago convention."—Boston Guardian. MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE. Professor R. T. Greener as Educator, Statesman and Race Benefactor. One among the many men of national reputation who attracted special attention at the recent session of the National Negro Business league held in Chicago was the Hon. Richard T. Greener. Many of the younger men who have gained distinction in business and the professions were mere lads when Professor Greener was doing effective educational work as dean of the law school at Howard university in Washington. It was while in this position that Professor Greener counteracted the then prevailing discrimination against colored people by some of the leading life insurance companies upon the basis of assumed greater mortality risk than that which existed among individuals of other races. Professor Greener took the matter up with leading insurance companies, controverting and criticising these statements, and was able to bring about a change in the treatment of colored people in the offices of a number of the larger eastern life insurance companies. As a result some of the most important of them commenced to write life insurance on colored people in the District of Columbia on exactly the same terms as they did for other people. New Yorkers will especially remember Mr. Greener for the able and satisfactory service which he rendered as secretary of the Grant Monument association, of which he is one of the trustees. President Dickson of the Royal Casualty company in Chicago is fortunate in having a man of Professor Greener's experience and executive ability associated with him in a business capacity. Lecture Tour of Miss A. L. T. Waytes Miss A. L. T. Waytes of Boston is making a tour of the southwest to the interest of the equal suffrage movement. She is meeting with much success.
