Encourage the Children to Be Diligent in School Work The Colorado Conference Appointments Twenty-Third Year The Color Confe Appo The conference in Cheyenne was of a class with many, except that this one in order to make the showing it did, represented far greater sacrifice on the part of the members, and greater effort on the part of the ministers than any previous. Bishop Parks presided. Rev. J. B. Holmes was chosen secretary. The conference was remarkable for its even tenor until the close, when the sudden death of Mrs. A. M. Ward cast a shadow over the whole. Wayman Ward, who was recommended a year ago by Shorter Church, was ordained a deacon by the laying on of hands on Sunday afternoon, just a few hours before his mother was called home. In fact she had been ill all the time she had been in Cheyenne and confined to the house for the whole of that last day. With the appointments in the evening the work for the year was closed. The assignments for the year are as APPOINTMENTS. Rocky Mountain District, A. M. Ward, Presiding Elder. Shorter Chapel, Denver, Robert L. Pope. Campbell Chapel, Denver, L. Frank-Bin Bray.

Sudden Death and Funeral of Mrs. Ward Shorter church was crowded beyond its seating capacity and hundreds stood or waited outside on Thursday afternoon at the funeral of Mrs. A. M. Ward. Her sudden death, together with the prominent place she has taken in church and community uplift, have made her a place in many hearts, and it seemed that all the city turned out to do her honor. It was a sad occasion. In the fullness of life, 44 years of age, with three children just growing into adult life, with her husband elevated into a higher place in the church, with one son just consecrating himself to the work of the ministry, she was called home to rest. Little did anyone think that when she went to Cheyenne last week to render her closing report as head of the mite missionary work in shorter, that she would come home Monday, translated to a celestial world. Yet such was the case. The funeral service was lengthy, largely because of the time needed for the resolutions read on behalf of the several organizations with which she worked, and the review of the remains. Rev. Owens was the officiating minister. His message was simple, beautifully illustrated, and a most glowing tribute to the life of the Christian who runs the race to the end. He said that just as the ministers were departing from the conference to the various fields of labor where they could do the most for the cause, she, her work all finished, was sent to the heavenly vineyard. Resolutions on behalf of the stewardesses and trustees were read by Mrs. Rebecca Glen, for the deaconesses by Mrs. Lillie Lewis, for the Sunday school by J. C. Porter, for the Mite Missionary society by Mrs. DePriest, for the Sewing Circle by Mrs. Lenza, for the Eastern Star by Mrs. J. R. Contee, for the Ministerial Union by Rev. Bray, and the telegrams of sympathy by Rev. Hazell. All the city ministers participated, who are members of the Ministerial Union, and RWs. Washington, Brown, Rogers and Holmes from out of the city. The religious services were followed by those of the Order of the Eastern Star, with Evergreen Chapter in charge. They furnished the pall bearers and the guard of honor from their membership. The remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery by Undertaker Lawhorn. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, several designs being among the remembrances. They filled a carriage. So ends the life of one lived to be loved. Though illness followed her for many years, her courage and cheerfulness kept many, even those who knew her well, in ignorance of what she suffered. Her life thread, always frail, has been cut by the Fates at a time when she leaves a most pleasing memory, which after all, is man's best bequest to posterity. NOTES OF CENTRAL B. S. S. Last Sunday there was a good attendance, notwithstanding the weather being cold and disagreeable. The lesson "Judgment and Mercy" was reviewed by Mrs. M. Wade in her beautiful and touching manner. Many good thoughts were brought out of the subject. Class No. 2 enrolled two new members, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Williams. Class No. 7 just tries to keep the banner. The S. S. will be at Scott's Chapel next Tuesday evening, when the beautiful drama, "Engaged," will be given. Our popular secretary, Miss Lucile Smith, expects to bring back the prize. Class No. 6 was to have had a program last Sunday, but it was postponed till tomorrow. Rev. K. C. Williams of Hopkinsville, Ky., will preach at Central Baptist church Sunday morning and night, Sept. the 22nd, corner 24th and Call 0 formia streets. All members and friends are asked to be present. UP FROM THE BOTTOM. Career of John R. Pinkett as Student, Athlete and Teacher. Jackson, Miss.-Born on a farm in Virginia, working his way through the public schools of his native county, the Washington colored high school and Amherst college is part of the brief career of John R. Pinkett, a teacher of languages in Jackson college, a school supported by the Baptist Home Mission society. Mr. Pinkett was born at Lincolnia, Va., Sept. 27, 1888. He attended the public schools of the village until he were eleven years of age, when he entered the seventh grade of the Garnett school. He continued in the public schools until he reached the third year of the high school, when he accepted a position as helper in the Washington navy ward. He resigned this position sixteen months later to re-enter the high school, graduating in June, 1907. The fall of the same year he entered Amherst college, having won a scholarship, which he held during his four THE MISSING MAN JOHN R. PINKETT. years there. Being a good athlete he made the freshman football team. For the next three years he played center and halfback. He was a member of the All-New England team during 1910 and 1911 and won the football "A." While in college he specialized in Greek and mathematics, and was one of the committee on commencement, when he received the degree of bachelor or arts in 1901. The summer he finished the Washington high school he worked in the department of agriculture. The next years he was a lifeguard and swimming instructor at Washington bathing beach, and the following two years directed the Cardozo playground. He also pursued courses of instruction at the Y. M. C. A. camps at Arundel-on-the-Bay. Md., and Kings Mountain, N. C. During his residence here he has made many friends, and has taken a deep interest in athletics. He has declined a number of flattering offers to teach in other colleges or enter Y. M. C. A. work. Richmond Public School Teachers. Gratification over the recent appointment of Misses Pearl L. Rowe and Rachel Tharks 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. State Historian & Natural History Society Denver News Especially of the Churches Welcome to the New Pastors Two ministers, new to the charges over which they will preside, have come to the A. M. E. churches of this city this year. One, Rev. Pope, who will have charge of Shorter church, the largest in the Colorado conference, is not new to Denver people, having come to the city some months ago and having been in charge of Campbell church. However, he has not long left his old conference, Alabama. There he was a leader in thought and in ability. In fact, so diligent was he that for the sake of relief and P. for the benefit of his health, he came West. Here he has already distinguished himself as he did there, and his promotion to the largest charge in the conference results. It goes without saying that he will make good in every respect, for he has both the experience and the ability. It is the first time in years that Shorter has had a pastor who was at the time of appointment serving in the conference. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D. D., of Phoenix, Ariz., who has been assigned to the pastorate of Campbell chapel, A. M. E. church, this city, comes with the highest recommendations from the city in which he has pastored for the last four years and the record of a long and useful life behind him. Not only Campbell chapel, but the city in general, is fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Bray. The following clipping will give some idea of the high esteem in which he is held at home: (The Texas Recorder, Dallas, Texas, May 1912) Elsewhere we mention the fact that Dr. H. Franklin Bray, who leaves Phoenix next Tuesday on a lecture tour of Texas and other states, winding up at Kansas City, where the general conference of his church will be in session, is a candidate before that body for the position of editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Dr. Bray leaves Phoenix, the scene of his last four years of useful labor, with the respect and esteem of every man, woman and child hereabout, and should the general conference see fit to appoint him editor of the Western Christian recorder, there will have been made no mistake, for we can safely say that Dr. Bray is one of the most thoroughly competent, painstaking, and generally efficient gentlemen that it has been our pleasure to meet. —The New State. This article is clipped from The New State, a weekly five-column folio, published at Phoenix, Arliz, the home of Dr. Bray. A man is best known at home, and the above is very com- REV. R. L. POPE Work FIVE CENTS A COPY News ally of Churches mendable. Dr. Bray is an able pen- man, as well as a fluent talker—an orator, a man of business acumen, worthy of all honor. Rev. Bray, having long been a member of the Colorado conference, already has friends by the score in this city who are delighted that this will be the field of his labor and the forum for his eloquence. He is one of the church's young men upon whom the seal of future greatness has been set. He has served in several charges, which have been excellent tests of his ability as a leader as well as a pastor, and in them all he has made good. Dr. Bray will assume the reigns of government over Campbell on Sunday morning, beginning what every- P. REV. FRANKLIN BRAY thing indicates will be a most successful administration. The Statesman joins the community in extending a hearty welcome. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH. 32nd and Lafayette Sts. Sunday services—preaching, 11 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.; Sunday school, 1 p.m.; b. Y. P.

EVENT OF NATION WIDE INTEREST Emancipation Society Plans Big Celebration In Washington. MANY NOTABLES ON PROGRAM. National Organization Arranges For Series of Patriotic and Civic Functions to Commemorate Fiftieth Anniversary of the Issuance of Lincoln's Proclamation—Jubilee Year. Washington.—The National Emancipation Commemorative society has completed arrangements for celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Lincoln as of Sept. 22. 1802. The formal exercises opening the four days' celebration will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22. The jubilee is to consist of a series of events covering many matters of interest to our people. The program is arranged so as to have a kind of jubilee prelude to consist of a sermon or brief address by the pastor or some selected speaker at the Sunday morning service in each of the city churches on the opening day. The musical program as arranged by Professor John T. Layton will be a special feature. It will exemplify the musical accomplishments of the race from the darkest antebellum days down to the present time. The first of the noted speakers who will take part in the program will be the Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrill Newman, the new president of Howard university. This will be Dr. Newman's first public appearance since becoming head of the institution. The second day of the jubilee, after registration of accredited delegates and disposition of various routine organization matters, will take the form of a general sociological congress, the first formal evening session of the celebration being held under its auspices. At this conference the main subject for discussion will be "A Permanent Congress of Colored Americans—A Racial Necessity." The principal addresses will be delivered by D. Webster Davis of Richmond and Dr. Philander P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. Other speakers will include James D. Carr, F. Frank Wheaton, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York, W. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Rev. W. W. Matthews, Professor R. R. Wright and J. H. A. Brazleton of Oklahoma City. A part of the work of the sociological congress will be the perfecting of plans for the organization of a permanent congress of colored Americans to be composed of delegates elected by the colored people to meet annually in Washington. This proposition will be fully discussed by the sociological conference on Monday, Sept. 23. Tuesday, Sept. 24, will be devoted to the day and evening sessions of the national congress of colored educators, composed of delegates appointed by the governors of the several states and the commissioners of the District of Columbia for the express purpose of attending this educational conference. These delegates, though chosen for the most part by the several governors from persons actually engaged in educational work, include nevertheless lawyers, physicians, ministers, editors, business men and other public spirited thinking men and women of the Negro race from all parts of the country. As evidence in this connection the publicity committee of the society quotes the following from the letter of the governor of one of the western states: "We have no colored people engaged in educational work in this state, but the five names I send are names of colored citizens who are helping to uphold and maintain the civilization of this commonwealth. They are the peers of any persons to be found in this state, and I am pleased to be able to name them as representatives to this conference." The conference is not a teachers' association for discussing the purely scientific side of educational work. It is rather an assemblage of persons representing all classes and every line of effort among the colored people who have the welfare of the whole race at heart and who believe that one of the most potent agencies for the promotion of that welfare is the proper education of all the members of the race for the duties of industrial, religious, civic and social life. With its delegates from almost every state in the Union, including New Mexico, California and Oregon, the educational conference promises to be the first gathering truly national in its scope that ever sat anywhere in this country for the express sole purpose of considering ways and means of promoting the general welfare of the race. The speakers at the educational congress include Kelly Miller, Roscoe Conkling Bruce and Dr. Lucy E. Moten of Washington, Mason A. Hawkins of Baltimore, E. L. Blackshear of Texas, James B. Dudley of North Carolina, W. S. Scarborough of Ohio, and Inman Page of Oklahoma. On Wednesday, Sept. 25, will take place the day and evening sessions of the woman's congress, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, a speaker of international reputation, will preside. and women who have achieved distinction in many lines of effort among the colored people will be present and speak. The closing day will be devoted to an interdenominational religious congress. Bishops, distinguished prelates and laymen from all denominations will be present and deliver addresses. The closing event of the celebration will be a reception given by the ladies of Washington in honor of the visiting delegates. From efforts being put forth this promises to be the most brilliant social event ever attempted by the colored people of this city. On Sept. 24, in the afternoon, a parade will take place. The District of Columbia national guard and many fraternal and civic organizations from Washington and nearby cities will participate in the parade. It is expected that fully 5,000 men will be in line. AFRO-AMERICANS EMPLOYED IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Large Number of Officials, Principals, Teachers, Clerks and Police.

The Lott Carey Baptist convention showed backbone and race pride at its annual meeting in Portsmouth, Va., in August. It appointed a committee to confer with the officials of southern railroads' with reference to securing better accommodations for colored people who patronize them as passengers. The jimcrow car service is a disgrace to Christian American civilization and for the good of humanity ought to be brought to a speedy end. Influence of William Anthony Aery. Mr. William Anthony Aery, press agent at the Hampton (Va.) institute, was a welcome visitor at the recent meeting of the Press association in Chicago. His co-operation in the work was most highly appreciated by the editors and publishers present. Hampton institute has in Mr. Aery a zealous worker whose influence for the good of the school is being felt quite largely throughout the country. A Song to Afric's Great. Give me a hymn of praises From early morn till late; A song to rouse the nations. A song to Afric's great; With melody to equal The minstrels of the sea; To ride upon the breezes O'er lofty mount and lea. With graces from the muses I'd sing a stirring song; To tell the world our virtues And lift above the wrong. A balm to soothe the sorrows, "Twould drive away all tears; To live throughout the ages, Like music of the spheres.

DEATH OF NOTED NEGRO COMPOSER Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Passed Away In London. HE STUDIED UNDER STANFORD Achieved Fame by His Hiawatha Trilogy—Wrote Choral Works For Festivals and Incidental Music For Many of the Plays Produced by Sir Herbert Beerbohf Tree. London. -- Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the Negro music composer who died recently, was the most important of Negro composers and one of the best known of modern composers. He was born in London. Aug. 15, 1875, the son of a doctor of medicine, a native of Sierra Leone, and an English mother. He studied the violin with J. Beckwith of Croydon and joined the choir of St. George's. Croydon, at the age of ten as an alto singer. In 1890 he entered the Royal College of Music as a student of the violin, studied composition with Sir Villiers Stanford and gained a composition scholarship in 1893. From that time his name has been prominently before the public, at first through the performance of early chamber compositions at the Royal college students' concerts, such as a nonet and a symphony, the latter given in St. James' hall in 1896 under Stanford's direction. A quintet for clarinet and strings in F sharp minor, played at the Royal A. THE LATE SAMUEL CORNERIDGE-TAYLOR college in 1895. was later performed in Berlin by the Joachim quartet. A string quartet in D minor dates from 1896. Wrote Hiawatha In 1898. It was in 1898 that the first part of his Hiawatha triology. "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," was produced at the Royal college. His fame in America rests mostly on this choral work. The second part. "The Death of Minnehaha," was brought out at the North Staffordshire festival in the autumn of 1899 and the third. "Hiawatha's Departure," by the Royal Choral society at the Albert hall on March 22, 1900. In the following May the overture to the whole was board for the first time. The work, especially the first part, made a great and lasting success, such as has not been rivaled by any other composition from Coleridge-Taylor's pen. As a matter of course, he received many festival commissions after it, including "The Blind Girl of Castel-Callile," for Leeds in 1901; "Meg Blane," Sheffield, 1902; and "Kubla Khan," Handel society, 1906. Conductor of London Handel Society. He wrote incidental music for many of the plays which Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree produced at His Majesty's theater. This included accompaniments to the dramas "Herod," "Ulysses," "Nero" and "Faust," all by Stephen Phillips. In 1904 he became conductor of the London Handel society. He visited this country two seasons ago to conduct one of his works at the Litchfield county festival. This summer he wrote two pieces especially for this festival, one of them a violin concerte, which was performed for the first time there in June by Mme. Maud Powell. He had written a quantity of music for the violin and piano, several songs and one symphony. David Nelson's Success on the Farm. The success of Mr. David Nelson as a farmer who started out for himself without a dollar after the war has been remarkable. By constant labor and strict economy Mr. Nelson has amassed a song little fortune from the products raised on his farm. He is now rated at $50,000, has a fine home near Little Rock, Ark., and is as deeply concerned about his farm now as he was forty years ago. Business Concern Helps the Race. The National Benefit association, founded by Samuel W. Rutherford, with headquarters in Washington, is one of the best of its kind operated by Afro-Americans in the United States. It employs members of the race and pays in salaries and commissions large sums monthly. HOUSES AND ROOMS FOR RENT—Furnished rooms at 2121 Arapahoe street. Phone Olive 986. Mrs. L. P. Holmes.

THEATRES “I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational in- vention of modern times,” writes Professor W. L. Thomas, professor of sociology in the University of Chi- cago. Industry is the spirit of Tuskgee —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 en- gineers, 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 efficien- ey; 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 study- ing 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; - swim. ming pools for boys and girls; at- tractive grounds; more than 100 buildings—large, comfortable, airy, electric lighted; 186 teachers.

How He Rose to Be One of Mississippi's Largest Taxpayers. One of the largest taxpayers among the colored people of Fayette, Jefferson county, Miss., is E. W. Green. He began his career as a hired man at $10 per month. By industry and efficiency, Mr. Green increased his earnings to $60 and at the end of ten years he had saved enough to go into the farming business for himself. Mr. Green now owns 1,000 acres of land, eighty head of stock, employs seventy persons on his farm and is rated at $80,000. He owns a magnificent dwelling house, upon which he carries $13,000 worth of insurance. He also carries $11,000 worth of insurance on his life. Of his possessions when he married, Mr. Green says: "My wedding clothes cost $12, including a pair of shoes for which I gave $1.50. I had another suit which cost $10. My wife and I lived in a hired house until we were able to buy a little cabin of our own." This man, who was left an orphan at an early age, is now one of the largest farmers in his section of the country. Mr. Green's crop of corn this year will net 5,000 bushels and his cotton will turn out at least forty bales. Mr. Green is only forty-eight years of age. COLORED FARMERS ARE AIDED BY GOVERNMENT. Agriculture Department Gives Demonstrations in Raising Crops. The department of agriculture has in the city of Washington 164 colored employees, with an aggregate compensation of $89,816.95. Outside of Washington the department has 102 colored employees, with a total compensation Throw Away Your Old China ```markdown ``` or $53,217.50. This is a total of colored employees in the department of agriculture, with a total compensation of $143,034.45. In connection with the farmers' cooperative demonstration work in the south the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture employs a number of colored agents, who are doing very successful and efficient work. There are now fifteen regular agents employed in connection with this work, who are paid salaries ranging from $25 to $100 per month. These agents are carrying on regular farm demonstrations with farmers in the communities where they are employed, conducting demonstrations in the raising of cotton, corn and other crops and generally fostering and encouraging better farming and better living on the part of the Afro-American farmers. Closely identified with the work of the department is that conducted through the aid of funds secured from the general education board. Twenty-one agents are employed in this work at salaries ranging from $25 to $100 per month. This work is practically an extension of the government work in localities where the government agents are not employed. All the agents paid from the general education board fund are appointed as collaborators of the department of agriculture. The following is a list of the names and locations of some of the agents and collaborators: J. Russell Council, Boley, Okla.; A. W. Beck, Mound Bayou, Miss.; M. A. Jones, Indianola, Miss.; T. M. Campbell, Tuskegee institute, Ala.; J. B. McPherson, Wedoee, Ala.; C. D. Nenafee, Opelika, Ala.; T. J. Murray, Fort Davis, Ala.; G. W. Patterson, Huntsville, Ala.; Harry Simms, Snow Hill, Ala.; W. A. Tate, Tuskegee institute, Ala.; C. F. Robinson, Tallahassee, Fla.; J. A. Booker, Fort Valley, Ga.; P. D. Johnson, Covington, Ga.; Ralph Amos, Meto, Ark.; Clifford Dove, Tuskegee institute, Ala. There are also a number of other collaborators who are paid nominal smaries in order to give them ornamental connection with the department collaborators: J. A. Bates, Orangeburg, S. C.; J. E. Blanton, Frogmore, S. C.; J. H. Goodwin, Weston, S. C.; E. D. Jenkins, Denmark, S. C.; C. W. Jones, Greenville, S. C.; C. H. S. Murphy, Camden, S. C.; R. W. Westberry, Sumter, S. C.; N. A. Bailey, Greensboro, N. C. C. S. Mitchell, Parmele, N. C.; Mattle Holmes, Phoebus, Va.; J. W. Laucher, Farmerville, Va.; R. D. Lemon, Sattrafas, Va.; G. E. Oliver, Crewe Va.; A. W. Pegram, Carson, Va.; J. B. Pierce, Wellville, Va.; C. C. H. Thompson, Blackstone, Va.; R. E. F. Washington, Roxbury, Va.; J. F. Wilson, Keysville, Va.; R. L. Wynn, Wellville, Va.; W. G. Young, Upper Zion, Va. The Constitution and Citizenship. The next great war will be fought for the enfranchisement of the disfranchised colored citizens of the south who are still denied the right of suffrage, as guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the national constitution. To lay claim to state rights in the matter of regulating the suffrage is simply begging the question. The constitution does not disfranchise a single citizen, native born or naturalized. Let us hope, however, that it will be a war of legal enactments which will cause to be enforced the constitutional rights of all citizens regardless of race or previous condition of servitude.

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.

Facts and Figures Which Show Advancement Alone Industrial Lines Vancement Along Industrial Lines. The colored man in business has been making unusual progress. In 1911 the Afro-Americans engaged in farming, merchandising, real estate, manufacturing, lumbering, insurance, printing and publishing, engineering and banking contributed over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation. It has been aptly said that "the race creates admirably; it gets left in the distribution." The problem of the race in business is this: How to make the raw material produced by it not the end of effort, but the basis of individual activity. Through persistence, initiative and co-operation thousands of Afro-Americans in all parts of the United States have developed small business ventures into substantial business enterprises. They have saved and invested money carefully; they have put into their everyday business life the wise suggestions given them by Dr. Washington and other men who are seriously interested in the race's welfare. Today the outlook for colored men in business is not only bright but actually inspiring. Many of them are quietly getting a firm hold on the essentials of success in business—the buying of homes, the extension of business, the opening of factories, the establishment of banks and the better appreciation of commercial pursuits. If men of other races can establish and operate sawmills, coal mines, brickyards, limestone and other enterprises so as to secure wealth and happiness there is no reason why Afro-Americans should not engage in similar work and succeed. They have the knowledge, the physical strength and ambition to benefit largely from the natural resources of the country, and there are numerous instances in which they are doing so. New Legal Fraternity In Brooklyn. The youngest organization among the lawyers of Brooklyn is the recently organized Kings County Lawyers' association. The new society does not draw the color line. It rather believes in law and order. Among the colored attorneys who have joined the association thus far are Counselors R. L. Perry, W. W. Delarte and Samuel A. Pense. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. New York Historical and Literary Society Issues the Presbyterian Creative Issues of the Presbyterian. The August issue of the Presbyterian, a monthly journal of some twenty pages, published under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary society of the St. James' Presbyterian church in New York, is a souvenir number. The front cover is adorned with a picture of the church, and the frontispiece has the likeness of Mrs. W. R. Lawton, wife of the pastor of the church. The leading article gives a brief account of the conference of Workers Among Girls, of which Mrs. Lawton is chairman. The Presbyterian is the organ of the church and society. It contains a summary of the past year's achievements of the literary society, its present plans and future aspirations. It is illustrated from photographs of the many men and women who have taken part in the work during the year. FARMERS' CONFERENCE AT THE DOWNINGTOWN SCHOOL State Officials and Prominent Educators Indorse the Movement. The first colored farmers' conference of Pennsylvania was held at the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial and Agricultural institute, beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The object of the conference was for the discussion of important matters relating to the welfare of the farmers of the state and to call the attention of our people to the vast opportunities open to them to engage more largely and profitably in agricultural pursuits. The Rev. William A. Creditt, LL. D., of Philadelphia, is president of the Downingtown industrial school, which is located in the center of the farming population of our people. The trustees of the institution are to be congratulated, therefore, upon the wisdom shown in taking the initiative in this movement, which will result in great things for our people in the future. The temporary organization consisted of the following officers: W. A. Creditt, president; C. H. Brooks, vice president; R. R. Wright, Jr., secretary; T. B. Patterson, treasurer, and A. P. Caldwell, newspaper correspondent. The program consisted of addresses on farming, truck gardening and the general relation of the colored farmer to the state. The conference has the endorsement of the Hon. A. L. Martin, director of the farmers' institute of the state department of agriculture; J. L. Rocky, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics; L. H. Dennis, expert assistant in agricultural education for the state; J. George Becht, secretary of the state board of education, and Thomas F. Smith, dean of the State School of Agriculture. Downingtown is situated on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. The committee in charge of the conference was composed of Messrs. William A. Creditt, A. P. Caldwell, R. R. Wright, Jr., T. B. Patterson, C. H. Brooks, J. M. Palmer, R. K. Cherry, R. T. Bremerman, H. M. Minton and Alexander Gordon. NEGROES OWN MUCH PROPERTY Number of Owners is 3,373—The Figures For Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Much of the Property is In Churches, Which Have Done Much For the Better Development of the Race. Harrisburg.—According to the latest report of the bureau of industrial statistics for the state of Pennsylvania, the number of Afro-Americans owning property in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and 105 cities and towns in the state is as follows: Philadelphia, 1,080, with an assessed valuation of $2,801,275. The market value of these holdings is put at $3,735,000. In Pittsburgh the number of Afro-American property owners is 643, with an assessed and market valuation of $1,437,000 and $2,153,830 respectively. In eighty-seven towns and cities the number of property owners is 1,072 and the assessed and market value of their property is $1,351,217 and $2,316,865. In the remaining eighteen towns the record shows 578 owners of property, with a total assessed and market valuation of $1,214,500. The grand total is as follows: Number of property owners, 3,373; valuation, $9,420,195. A great deal of the property of Negroes is in churches. Among the various influences which the church has had has been the encouragement of cooperative buying of church properties. Many Negroes learned for the first time what a deed meant or a builder's contract or a mortgage, etc., from his participation in church buying and building. The census department reported in 1906 that Negroes owned about $58,000,000 worth of church property in the United States. Of this fully $50,000,000 worth was unencumbered. As will be seen, Pennsylvania Negroes own more than their share, which is due largely to the fact that in this state Negro churches took root very early and have always been encouraged as one of the influential factors for the better development of the race. There are about 150 Baptist churches in the state of Pennsylvania, but only seventy-three of them reported their value, which was put at $785,230, an average of about $17,850 each. These, of course, were the best properties. The balance of about 100 churches includes about fifty which are more or less temporary and own but little property. If the average of these 100 Baptist churches is $1,000, that would give an additional $100,000 of church property and a total of $885,230, the value of the property of Negro Baptists. There are 196 African Methodist churches in the state, of which 136 are of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination and sixty African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination. Of the former 106 reported at the last conference session a property valuation of $1,067,213. Allowing a valuation of $100 each for the thirty-six not reported, we have 136 properties of the African Methodist Episcopal church in the state of Pennsylvania valued at $1,097,213. Of the latter, forty-six reported property valued at $553,824, an average of about $12,000 each. If the average value of the remaining fourteen African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches is $1,000, the total valuation would be about $567,824. There were fourteen Presbyterian churches whose value is estimated at $190,000 and eight Episcopal churches valued at about $100,000. There are a number of Negro congregations of the Methodist Episcopal church, the chief ones being in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. They own about $250,000 worth of property. Other churches are the A. U. M. P., the Church of God, Congregational C. M. E. church, and several independent churches who own property valued at about $100,000. This would make the total amount of church property owned by Negroes approximately, as follows: Baptists, $885,230; A. M. E., 1067,213; A. M. E. Zion, $567,824; Methodist (north), $250,000; Presbyterian, $190,000; Episcopalian, $100,000; other denominations, $100,000. Total value of church property, $3,160,267. By the above it is seen that in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the assessed value of property, exclusive of churches, is $4,228,335; that in eight-seven other cities and towns the assessed value of 1,072 properties is $1,351,217, making a total of $5,589,552, having a market value of $8,205,685. To this market value must be added the estimated holdings of Negroes in eighteen other cities and towns with a market value of $1,214,500 and $3,160,200. the value of church property, making a total of $12,580,455 as the value holdings of Negroes in this state. If we consider the difficulty of obtaining data, and scan carefully the list of places reported, we must conclude that this estimate is possible 25 per cent under the real holdings of Negroes in the state. It is estimated that they own property, the most conservative estimate of whose value is $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. --- ```markdown ``` Ambulance and Carriages Furnished for All Occasions THE TRIALS OF A TRAVELER.
