OLDEST PROPERTY OWNER.
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.

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

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.

ZION RALLY A SUCCESS.
Zion Church, on Sunday night, acquitted itself nobly in its rally raising $1,200 with some returns yet to be received. 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.

THE BYRON'S TROUBADOURS.
The coming to this city of the Byron Troub劣ours is always an event in musical and theatrical circles. They have formerly appeared here on the Orpheum circuit. This time they come under the auspices of the People's Presbyterian Church as a part of the church's celebration of its entry into its improved home. The exercises which continue several days will have no feature more popular than the Byrons whom the press, daily and weekly, has delighted to praise in highest terms. The troupe is adept on many instruments—clarinet, trombone, trap drums, orchestra bells, harp, mandolin, mandola, guitar, ukael, cello contra bass, tenor alto and soprana saxophones, violin and byron-

Tickets for the Byron Troubadours are being readily sold. The latest reports from Scholtz Drug Co., 16th and Curtis, as well as Knight-Campbell's are to the effect that an overflowing house will grace the Troubadours. Nearly all the parquet tickets have been bought up. A limited number is still on hand. Box accommodations from now on can be obtained at these places. Our colored patrons are advised for the last time to secure the seats in time.
Souvenir programs containing a short history of the People's Church with cuts of nearly all the participants of the program, including the Troubadours, pastor, auxiliaries, etc., will be on hand every night next week. Come prepared to get one.

MADAM DeNEAL RECOM-

For eight years Madam DeNeal did resident work among the select society people of Denver, in manicuring, facial and scalp treatment and hair growing. Within the last two years she has extended her labors until she has many colored patrons as well. Her success has been great and the large sale of her hair preparation has been the consequence. Now she is preparing to go west. In a few days she enters upon a tour of the northwest which will embrace Missoula, Montana, Spokane, Seattle and Vancouver. To look after her patrons she has had associated with her for some time Mrs. Ida Cox Holley of 2337 Ogden street. And it is to her care that Madam DeNeal now leaves her customers, recommending Mrs. Holley in the highest as a capable, painstaking, scientific exponent of the treatments and methods she has found good. Mrs. Holley will sell hair grower, will give treatments for the scalp, will give facial treatments, will look after the needs of ladies in general respecting hair.

They have toured the world, and just as they made a big hit when here before, so they have everywhere. It is a stroke of enterprise on the part of Rev. Hazell to have secured such a company and to have secured the Auditorium for the place. He deserves a good patronage. Besides their public appearance the citizens will be privileged to meet them in person at a reception planned at the church. Their comings and goings are entirely in the hands of Rev. Hazell and he means to make them enjoy their stay here as well as to make Denver profit most by their presence.

Pan URRE Hed Renee!
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 moyements
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 {t
possible for our people to enjoy cer-
tain advantages was the late Mrs. An-
netta 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 in
tense that she became a potent factor
in this agency that liberated thou
sands 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 ont

Yet when she heard of a family that

who did not have the price of the pas

hands of the captain and said, “Take

recognized in her a shield and an ar-

thousands of the poor and weak people
of her race and created an ennobling
atmosphere about them. She had
stored up sich helpful things for hu-
manlty 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 com-
posed of and officered by women of her
race. ‘This organization is known as
‘the United Order of ‘Lents of J. It. G

years ago $138,007.16 is the amount
that has been paid out from this de-
partment. Each month not less than
$1,500 1s 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

upon her daughter, who had been espe-
clajly trained to continue the work of
her mother. Mrs. 8. L. Bonney is a
woman eminently fitted for social serv-
fce among her people, and she is im-
bued with the spirit that made her
mother to be loved in all sections of

‘Mrs. Bonney has her finger tips on ev-

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.

SOCIOLOGY FOR TEACHERS
Subject of Summer School Lectures by Dr. R. R. Wright.
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.

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.

26th and Clarkson Sts.
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. The Woman's Home Missionary Society

Master Wendell Wallace will have his first school experience this week at the Gilpin school. Thomas Wallace will enter the first grade.
The closing up of the year work of the A. M. 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.
Every year, in many parts of the country, thousands are driven from their homes by coughs and lung diseases. Friends and business are left behind for other climates, but this is costly and not always sure. A better way—the way of multitudes—is to use Dr. King's New Discovery and cure yourself at home. Stay right there, with your friends, and take this safe medicine. Throat and lung troubles find quick relief and health returns. Its help in coughs, colds, grip( croup, whooping-cough and sore lungs make it a positive blessing. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by all druggists.

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.

Richmond Public School Teachers. Gratification over the recent appointment of Misses Pearl L. Rowe and Rachel Tharkis as teachers in the public schools of Richmond, Va., is expressed by their many friends. The high average made by many pupils in the public schools of the city the past year was a credit to both pupils and teachers.
THE MEN WHO SUCCECED
as heads of large enterprises are men of great energy. Success today demands health. To all is to fail. It's utter folly for a man to endure a weak, run-down, half alive condition when Electric Bitters will put him right on his feet in short order. "Four any other medicine I ever took." writes Chas. B. Allen, Sylvania, Ga." After years of suffering with rheumatism, liver trouble, stomach disorders and deranged kidneys, I am again, thanks to Electric Bitters, sound and well." Try them. Only 50 cents at all drugstores.

RHEUMATISM
I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds; I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it.

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.

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.

H. 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.

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.

CONSUMPTION
I was a lunger, suffering for a long time. A benefited friend endorsed Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea. I took several packages of the tea and have not been troubled with my lungs since. That was several years ago, not being troubled with colds as I was theretofore. I most gladly recommend the Twentieth Century Wonder Tea to all lung sufferers.

"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.

BOLEY COMMERCIAL CLUB.
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. Combs got his first experience in business by operating a blacksmith shop.

THE WEEKLY NEWS
MRS. A: M. POPE-TURNBO
PROPRIETOR
"Poro" College
3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo.
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:
