INVITATION WITHDRAWN. After being invited to participate in the mask parade during the Mountain and Plain Festival, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association was informed by the carnival manager that he feared the raising of the color question, and that he had withdrawn the invitation.

STARTED TWELVE YEARS AGO Phenominal Progress of the Organization Due to the Earnestness and Loyalty of Its Members—Amount For Fiscal Year Is $26,968.09—Own Valuable Property In Washington. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention, recently closed its twelfth annual session, which was held in the Antioch Baptist church, Houston, Tex. Nearly every state organization in the country was represented either by delegates or by the payment of annual dues. The convention is the largest organization of Christian women in the world. Its growth has been phenomenal, and the Houston meeting gave evidence of the fact that marked improvement is being made by the great mass of women who are giving themselves to the religious and educational uplift of the race. Earnestness of purpose, wide vision and consecration of life characterize those who have the constructive work of the convention in hand. The program shows that the women are actually and actively engaged in social service work at home, missionary effort in foreign fields and in training the women and girls for Christian service. Their addresses were thoroughly prepared and delivered without manuscript. Earnestness of purpose and directness of thought characterized the action of every speaker. That the women have done remarkable work during the year was clearly shown in A. E. MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS, the very carefully prepared and en couraging report of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the corresponding secretary. The most gratifying thing to be not in connection with the work of the woman's auxiliary is that it has grown so rapidly. Twelve years ago at the first annual meeting the convention raised $15. This year it reported $26. 968.09. The money is used in helping to support missionaries in foreign fields, to educate foreign students in American institutions and to operate the National Training School For Women and Girls at Washington, which institution is owned by the convention. The women bought this property and opened the school three years ago. From a valuation of $6,000 the property has increased, through buildings and other improvements made on the grounds, until the plant is now worth $28,000. Do not ask whether colored women can attempt and execute a great work on a large scale. The woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention, answers the question. One of the special features of the Houston meeting was the needlework exhibition. Articles were donated by women from all parts of the country and were sold for the benefit of the work of the convention. Another special feature, indicative of the progressive spirit that characterizes the leaders, is the young women's movement, which has for its object the enlistment of our girls in Christian work. Their program was in every way most creditable. The reports, through the annual letters, showed that the convention is in touch with 78,000 women, twenty-six state conventions, forty-seven district conventions and 8,000 local societies. There is always on hand an abundance of literature prepared by the corresponding secretary. The women who work in the local societies have reason to be grateful for the help they obtain in carrying on their local work. Three great preachers delivered three great sermons before the convention—Drs. W. H. Moses, P. James Bryant and that prince of preachers, C. T. Walker. Another feature of the work of the convention was the early morning prayer meeting, led by state delegations and attended by a large number of consecrated workers who realize that prayer is the key to the MRS. PERKINS CELEBRATES EIGHTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY Daughters of Well Known Christian Worker Honor Her Natal Day. Brooklyn. — Mrs. Anna A. Perkins, a deaconess of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ and a well known missionary worker, recently celebrated the eighty-first anniversary of her birth. The birthday reception was given by Mrs. Perkins' three daughters, Mrs. R. H. H. Muse of New Haven, Conn.; Mrs. J. S. Parsons and Mrs. R. P. Hamlin of this city, with whom Mrs. Perkins resides at 433 Madison street. The principal guests other than the immediate family were selected from the deaconess board of the church and the Dorcas Home Missionary society, of which Mrs. Perkins is the general secretary, in which capacity she has already rendered faithful services for the past twenty-two years. She is a woman of wide experience in Christian work and is noted for the many letters which she has written to persons in affliction whom she could not visit personally. Mrs. Perkins' peaceful and motherly disposition has won for her the honored title of "Mother in Israel." Besides her home duties and work in the church and Home Mission society, she was for more than a quarter of a century engaged in Sunday school work, from which she retired only a few years ago. The Perkins family is well known throughout the northern and New England states. Mrs. Perkins' granddaughters, the Misses Muse of New Haven, are well known vocalists. Mrs. J. S. Parsons of this city was for many years the organist of the Concord Baptist church and Sunday school and a popular music teacher. Mrs. R. P. Hamlin, wife of Mr. Robert P. Hamlin, international Y. M. C. A. secretary, is a public school teacher, gifted singer and the general secretary of the largest graded Sunday school among the Afro-Americans in Brooklyn. Mrs. Perkins is hale and hearty and bears up under the weight of her eighty-one years with true and patient Christian fortitude. HONOR FOR DR. MARSHALL.

Brief Review of the Reconstruction Period and the Beginning of the Nullification of the War Amendments to the Constitution-The Introduction of Jimcrow Laws. ```markdown ``` The fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution extends the right of franchise to all citizens of the United States. It also declares that this right shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Claiming that the government has failed to carry out the provisions of the above amendment and the two preceding it with respect to the rights of the colored people. Bishop Alexander Walters of New York says: "As was to be expected, the south opposed this legislation. Its training and traditions were all against the political equality of the black man, and it found it difficult to adjust itself to the new condition. Notwithstanding the opposition the good work continued. Public and private schools were established and the black man encouraged to protect himself by the use of the ballot. "I might add here in support of the enfranchisement of the freedman that a voteless citizen is a greatly hand-capped one—a pariah in the community. Especially is this true when such a citizen is a member of a weaker race. This state of affairs continued until 1876, when a change came about. The Republicans had nominated Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio for the presidency, and the Democratic party had nominated Samuel J. Tilden of New York for the same office. The election was in doubt, and it was finally settled by a commission of fifteen-five justices of the supreme court, five senators and five members from the house of representatives. "The dispute was settled in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes, who was declared president of the United States. It was asserted that a deal had been made between the north and the south by which President Hayes was to withdraw the troops from the south, per putting home rule to obtain. The Negroes were loud in their protest against the dicker. They saw in it great sorrow and tribulation to the freedmen. The federal troops in the south had been their protection and guarantee in the use of the ballot, etc. Their removal meant the overthrow of the Republican administration. In the south. "Things were in a chaotic state for awhile, Kukluxism was rampant, but gradually this state of things passed away, and when lynchings shall have been a thing of the past the last vestige of this regime shall have disappeared. It came our turn to protest against restrictive legislation, such as the curtailment of political power, the nullification of the war amendments, the introduction of jimcrow laws, etc. "The Republican party had gone as far as it thought it wise to go in the way of legislation; hence it looked on with indifference while the Negro was being stripped of the privileges and immunities which the grand old party had given him. The American republic can never be an ideal one while some of its natives born and worthy citizens are denied their political rights guaranteed them by the constitution. "The tendency of the age is toward democracy—true democracy, the democracy that recognizes no color or creed, but worth only. This leaven is at work and is as sure to result in the political emancipation of the black man as the sun shines. The late Justice Brewer said, 'The Negro will surely come into possession of the franchise in all sections of the country.' Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of the Courrier-Journal, Louisville, Ky., one of the foremost leaders of the Democratic party—in fact, its oracle—says, 'A new generation of blacks has come upon the scene, and they will finally be allowed their political rights.' "A distinguished Democrat said recently, 'The Democratic party is prepared to give to the black man all he merits.' The Negro is in possession of intelligence, property and character. Surely these entitle him to the ballot. Congressman Sulzer of New York in a recent speech said: 'Equal rights to all and special privilege to none is the fundamental principle of democracy, and the application of this principle to questions as they arise will solve them all in the interest of the plain people of our country. It seems to me it should be the constant effort of colored men in season and out of season to keep this great principle to the front.' "On so doing all the people, without regard to race, religion or previous condition, shall be equal before the law and the door of opportunity under the star of hope of free America ever remain open. The sentiment in favor of this idea is growing apace throughout the country and means much for the future welfare of America. Democracy has no prejudice against any race, but wants to help all sorts and conditions of people to rise step by step to higher levels in the onward march of civilization."

Being editor of the Statesman and also being the nominee referred to, we feel embarrassed about giving space to communications sent us for publication which commend us and urge general support for us in the election Nov. 5. Were the candidate some one else, we would be free of the suspicion of self exaltation; were the publisher some one else, it would be the same. As it is, we are deeply grateful to those who wish us well and take this means of letting the public know that they have wished us success. Especially do we thank Mrs. A. S. Goodall of Fort Collins and C. M. White of the American Woodmen, both Coloradoans, and T. O. Mason, formerly of Albuquerque, now of Washington, D. C., J. E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., and many others who have cheered us on verbally. All hearts go out in sympathy to Theodore Roosevelt now that he has been stricken down by the hand of a murderous assailant. That he is likely to live is good news. Whatever are our views of his fitness for the presidency this time, we are sure all agree that an American of his ability and past honors is deserving of the world's best wishes in his illness. Retribution has overtaken Wyoming quickly. A few days ago it was the scene of a most inexcusable lynching. The tender hearts and high moral tone of Wyoming convicts could not bear the nearness of a Negro accused of rape. They lynched him inside the prison walls. Now comes a savage outbreak in the same prison, the same convicts laying their acute sensibilities, and murdering their keepers in cold blood. Some of them who are still at large have terrorized the state and armed men and militia ar the order of the day in Wyoming. The killing of the black prisoner stirred up no one, but the legitimate outgrowth of the savagery that caused his death which now causes this outbreak, interests everybody. The sad thing is that Wyoming does not see that it cannot reap benefits from a crop of hate. The withdrawal of the invitation to a colored organization to participate in the mask parade is hard to account for. First of all, no moral or social lines have been drawn among the white participants. In fact, the quoted statements of the chief of police make it clear that the managers expect some unmoral and possibly some immoral participants. Negroes can be no worse than the latter. The more one sees of such inconsistencies as these, the more he wonders if the violence done to fair play and consistency in order to maintain separation of the races, is not the best proof of the recognition of the oneness or all mankind. JOHNSON IS GETTING TO BE A SERIOUS HANDICAP. Jack Johnson received some sympathy in the tragic death of his wife. He now seems in a fair way to forfeit all that and more by his entanglement with another white woman. It is a sordid tale of slum life which is heralded in the daily press involving this pugilist. If he were just white, so that no criticism might 'attach to our race for what he does, we would not be so interested. But as it is, he has reached the place through the manner in which the daily press herds his escapades, where he is a distinct burden to us in our struggles. If he had about him no glamour of a championship, and was simply the keeper of a cafe and saloon, the color question would not intrude itself so forcibly. He would be far more popular among us, as well as with white people, if he would live quietly and stop making an unholy show of him self. THE NEGRO FARMER. He Makes Good When Given a Fair Chance. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson announces that during the present year the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration work of the Bureau of Plant Industry will have 32 Negro agents in the field. These agents now have enrolled as demonstrators and co-operators something like 3,500 Negro farmers, and soon this list will probably be increased to 4,000 Negro farmers. In addition to this work having for its object the aiding of the Negro farmer in the South, numerous Negro farmers are also enrolled under the white agents of which there are 681. Altogether it is estimated that there will probably be between 10,000 and $2.00 1.00 .50 is sent to subscribers are lost or stolen or when due, inform us by postal card icate of the missing number.

The Negroes make good progress as successful farmers when given a fair chance. The Farm Journal says, "Give them a fair chance." "It seemed that my 14-year old boy would have to lose his leg, on account of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad bruise," wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone, N. C.

NEW EDIFICE DEDICATED Training School Makes Progress. Dr. Powell Chief Speaker. Washington. - The National Training School For Women and Girls in this city dedicated its new modern dormitory building on Wednesday evening, Oct. 9, with appropriate exercises. The institution is directed by Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, whose efficient leadership as president has been wonderfully blessed with large results. The principal address at the dedicatory ceremonies was delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, the well known lecturer and successful pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York. The subject of Dr. Powell's address was "The Molding Influence of Woman." He said in part: "Woman is the material masterpiece of God's creative genius, the mother of our nations and the queen of our homes. Under her benignant Christian influence the dove of domestic peace flutters in the sunshine of love, and the marriage altar becomes as sacred as the oracles of God. No race can rise higher than its homes, and no home can rise higher than its mother. By the very virtue of the situation woman is the home maker. The husband is away all day at work and all night at the lodge or club. The home is therefore left under the molding influence of the mother. "Most people have a mistaken idea or what constitutes a home. When we see a fine house handsomely furnished, surrounded by an artistically shaped lawn, we say, 'What a beautiful home!' This may or may not be a home. Brick houses, bay windows, fine rugs, brass beds, birdseye maple, costly drapery, fine works of art, do not make a home. God bless the homes that can afford them, but you can have a home without any of them. A Christian mother, an open Bible, a family altar where the children kneel once a day while mother carries them to God on wings of praying love—this is a home, whether it be a but in darkest Africa or a brownstone front in America's best civilization. "This kind of a home is rapidly disappearing from our country in general and from the large cities in particular, and we are losing power with God on this account. The crying need of America is not more schools, or more money, or more churches, or more eloquent preachers, but more mothers who will give God a place in the home." Room In the South For More Business At the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league held in Chicago President Booker T. Washington in his annual address emphasized the fact that there is room in the south among Afro-Americans for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, 8,000 grocery stores, 3,500 drug stores, 2,600 shoe stores and 1,500 millinery stores. He also said that "in order that the Negroes in this country shall advance in economic directions the teacher, the minister, the business man and all others who are interested in race and national development must co-operate."

Wallace with regard to the members leaving Scott's church for others. We, the undersigned, desire to make known our reasons for leaving. Two years ago some of us declined the leadership of Rev. Wallace. As American citizens we reserve the right to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience. Neither Rev. Wallace nor any minister can rob us of this privilege. That any minister proselytized us is untrue. We severed our connection from Scott's and its minister because we lost confidence in Rev. J. N. Wallace. His administration was, to our way of thinking, corrupt in financing the church, in rendering false reports to the two last annual conferences, in misleading the public as to the true state of things at Scott's through his writing to the press, for his failure to speak the truth relative to church affairs when called upon, for his unreliability in dealing with us, for his insulting remarks from the pulpit to those of us who could not accept his remarks. These, among other reasons, caused us to become disgruntled members, and hence we sought other church homes. We are not alone. Others are staying at home rather than worshipping at Scott's under Rev. Wallace, whilst some are visiting sister churches. We assume this course not to expose the sins of this minister, but in justification of the cause of our leaving and in defense of our action. If Mr. Wallace or any other person doubts these allegations, we stand ready to prove them true. T. S. CLINKSCALE, MARY G. CLINKSCALE, ELI BURRELL, MARY E. EVANS, W. S. EVANS. FORTUNES IN FACES.

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.

NELSON'S PLAN TO GOLONIZE W. E. Gillespie Tells Interesting Story of His Recent Trip to the Island. Province of Pinar del Rio Pictured as Garden of Eden For the Thrifty Agriculturists. Minneapolis, Minn.—W. E. Gillespie, one of the most successful farmers in this section, gives the following account of his recent trip to Cuba: After corresponding for about three months with Mr. R. M. R. Nelson at his home in Lista, Havana, I decided to visit his "land of June breezes" and so wrote him. Before his reply reached me Evanisto Estinoz began his fatal revolution. Being assured by Mr. Nelson that the trouble was confined to the eastern end of the island, 500 miles from Havana, I sailed from New York June 7 and was met by him at the custom house in Havana June 10. I bade him and other friends au revoir at the same place July 7 after twenty-eight days of strenuous going in cars, busses, wagons, horseback and afoot seeing the things "Cuba's best guide" has to show to the Afro-Americans who want to know about the plan to colonize 10,000 or more colored farmers in Cuba. The best farming lands of the section that I saw were in the province of Pinar del Rio, which is said to contain Throw Away Your Old China ```markdown ``` the richest tobacco soil in the world Mr. Nelson is offering land in this province at $10 per acre to colonists. As the language is Spanish, it is essential that the people settle in colonies, so that one interpreter can act for a large number of them until they acquire the language. I spent about three days at the farm of George Davis at San Cristobal. Mr Davis is from Bessemer. Ala. He has bought eight acres of land, put down a fine well and is making great improvements. He is very enthusiastic concerning opportunities in Cuba for colored people from the southern states. There are great opportunities in raising hogs, watermelons, chickens, vegetables and fruit—in fact, all farm products. Pork was selling in Havana at 30 cents per pound, chickens at 80 cents to $1 apiece. Fresh eggs command almost any price; 3 to 5 cents apiece is common. Medium sized watermelons were $1.25 each in the Havana market, while oranges were selling at three for 20 cents. Vegetables and fruits can be raised at all seasons of the year, and, while they can be shipped to New York and other United States markets, I think there would be more money in catering to the local markets, thus saving freight, duty, etc. Cuba buys from abroad $10,000,000 worth of the things just cited. One thing I noticed was that a black man was just as good as a white man. There were colored motormen and conductors on the street cars and colored men in every other line of trade. It looked indeed like a land of opportunities for the black man. The nights were always cool. The thermometer while I was there averaged 85 degrees, and there was always a cool breeze. I can see no reason why Mr. Nelson should not induce 50,000 colored farmers from the south to move to Cuba. I understand that the trip from Key West, Fla., takes only five hours. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM. The Anthony Burns Incident Recalls Many Thrilling Stories. Sept. 22, 1912, was the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of Lincoln's proclamation of freedom to the slave. The event recalls one of a thousand or more incidents of the dark days when bloodhounds, slave drivers, the slave pen and the auction block were the fashion. Anthony Burns, who was bought out of slavery by the abolitionists of Boston and presented to himself, took the gift with many expressions of gratitude and straightway went to Oberlin, O., to educate himself for the ministry. Upon his arrival at Oberlin he, childlike, wrote back to Union to his old pastor for a letter of dismission from the church he so wickedly ran away from when he ran away from slavery. The pastor, Rev. John Clark, made the following answer: "The Church of Christ at Union, Faquiler county, Va. "Whereas, Anthony Burns, a member of the church, has made application to us by letter to our pastor for a letter of dismission in fellowship, in order that he may unite with another church of the same faith and order; and "Whereas, it has been satisfactorily established before us that the said Anthony Burns absconded from the service of his owner and refused to return voluntarily, thereby disobeying both the laws of God and man, although he subsequently obtained his freedom by purchase, yet we have now to consider him only as a fugitive from labor (as he was before his arrest and restoration to his owner) and have therefore "Resolved unanimously that he be excommunicated from the communion and fellowship of the church of Jesus Christ.

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.

Washington.-Delaware Whiting, the subject of this sketch, is a native of this city and received his early education in the well known Henry Highland Garnet public school. From a mere youth he seemed destined to become a child of the sea, and in 1889 at the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the United States navy receiving ship Dale, then stationed at Washington navy yard. Mr. Whiting was rapidly promoted and transferred from ship to ship. It was just after passing the required examination as a wreck blower that he was assigned to the Yantic, then wreck blowing along the coast of the Delaware breakwater, when that ship received orders from the secretary of the navy to blow up the hull of the famous ship Waterloo, then lying off Chatham, Mass. The fearless manner in which this lad went about his new duties would have done credit to a veteran, and the work was brilliantly performed. From that time on "Del," as he was wont to be called, could be relied upon whether the ship sank or swam. What Mr. Whiting is pleased to call the beginning of his foreign mission was in September, 1890, when he was transferred from the Yantic to the Pensacola, bound for Bluefields, Nicaragua, when he was promoted to the rank of second class apprentice. While sailing through the strait of Magellan the Pensacola encountered a severe gale, in which the ship lost three men and two boats. The storm lasted seventeen days and delayed them in reaching the west coast of Chile. The Pensacola's provisions ran low, and the crew for the first time knew what real hunger was. They cast anchor, prayed - a very strange thing for the sailors to do—and waited for the day. FOR RENT EUREKA HALL While lying in port at Valparaiso the Pensacola was fired upon by the Chileans. Mr. Eagan, the American consul, was appealed to by Admiral McCann for protection. Mr. Whiting was then a signal boy on the Pensacola, and it was the signal given by this black boy that assembled the crew for the onslaught in which several Americans were killed as well as Chileans. The United States had to pay an indemnity of $75,000 to Chile for loss of life and injury to her citizens. This was one of the most thrilling experiences our subject had during his career as a child of the sea. He speaks Spanish, French, Italian and Hawaiian and has circumnavigated the globe twice.

LAWHURN, President A. B. THE STATESMAN----8 WOMAN OF RARE MUSICAL GIFTS Work of Mrs. Daisy R. Tapley Covers Wide Field. Well Known Contralto Singer Who Began Her Profession in Early Life Has Achieved Great Success—Popular With the Masses—Helper of Young Women and Children. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.-Mrs. Daisy Robinson Tapley of this city is a most highly cultured and gifted musician. She has achieved a national reputation in the art and is foremost in the musical circles of the country. She has had a long musical career, which has carried her into every section of the country and various points in England. Her wide travel in following up her musical life has given her a large experience and acquaintance among the leading people of the country. She has served in various musical capacities, in all of which she displayed the earmarks of an efficient artist. It was when but a child in Chicago studying the piano that Mrs. Tapley gave evidence of her musical gifts. For a number of years she was a member of the Williams and Walker company when the talented aggregation was in the heyday of its success. She won a place among the talented of this company and accompanied Williams and Walker to London on their first trip abroad. While in London Mrs. Tapley made a deep impression upon the musical life of the city and made the acquaintance of some of the most elegant people in London. While in London-Mrs. Tapley was the guest for a time of the late Coleridge Taylor, who regarded her as one of the most accomplished musicians he had met. It was while with Williams and Walker that Mrs. Tapley showed her A MRS. DAISY ROBINSON TAPLEY. best efforts as a vocalist. Few musicians of the race are more versatile and have more thorough training than Mrs. Tapley. She is especially gifted as a singer and possesses a rich, cultivated contralto voice. She is an adept at the piano and plays the pipe organ with a rare musical touch. Her wide culture and proficiency in her art is due to the fact of her long study under noted musical critics. She is a western woman and was born in Michigan. At an early age she went to Chicago and began her musical course with a study of the piano under Emil Liebling. She later took up the study of the pipe organ under Professors Charles Rossey, Clarence Dickerson and Clarence Eddy, noted musicians of Chicago. After the completion of the first part of her musical education she became the organist of Quinn chapel, one of the largest and most influential churches of the race. She remained in this capacity for eleven years. She then took up the study of the voice under Pedro Tinsley, also of Chicago. After her stage career with Williams and Walker she made her residence in New York. She is one of the foremost music teachers of the city and numbers among her pupils scholars of both races. She has done much for the development of a high musical life among young women. She is the organizer and conducts the glee clubs of the Y. W. C. A. both of New York and of Brooklyn. She has done much in the way of composition, and her arrangement of folklore songs has met the approval of the most critical musicians. As music teacher in this city she has made a decided success, and as a teacher of little children she is especially considerate. Mrs. Tapley is a woman of a charming personality and of strong character. She is devoted to her mother and provides for her comforts. With all of her attainments Mrs. Tapley is modern and preoccupying in her hearing. STEADY ADVANCE OF COLORED MEN Efforts to Maintain Rights of Citizenship Noted. Optimistic View, of Course, Taken by Afro-Americans In Respect to Their Duty to Make Every Reasonable Effort to Conserve the Best Interest of the Race. By education, long experience and constant effort to maintain his Integrity as an American citizen the Negro is at last taking his rightful place in the ranks of all political parties with earnestness of purpose and a desire in so doing to conserve the best interests of the race in all sections of the country. If the highest ideals of our democratic form of government are ever to be realized all fair minded men, whether in the south or other sections of the country, must show their willingness to accord to the Negro the political rights which the constitution provides for all citizens without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. This is all the Negro asks of Democrats, Republicans, the "third" party or any other political organization. This attitude of colored meu is in line with the views recently expressed by Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal. Mr. Watterson says: "A new generation of blacks has come upon the scene. These blacks are better educated. In the north they understand the situation. What do they owe the Republicans? In our opinion, nothing. "If they ever expect to help their brethren in the south this is a good chance to do it, because to the white people in the south they must look for substantial help and real advantage, and everything which always race prejudice and brings the two people nearer together in friendly and neighborly intercourse will insure to the profit of the weaker in the life struggle. "The Courier-Journal has never sought to make a party profit out of the Negro. It is his friend and his neighbor, his fellow citizen and his fellow Christian. The whites cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are, whites and blacks, in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row stendy if we expect to be happy and make progress. "The white man should want nothing of the benefits of government for himself and his children which he is not willing to allow the black man for himself and his children. We are mutually dependent. We are bound to live together. We cannot get away from one another; hence a good working and living understanding is the basis of the common interest. "The black people long ago learned that some politicians had no use for them except to vote them. Through forty years they have been paying a debt they but half owed. In the meantime the whites of the south have been aiding them in substantial ways. If they should turn about now and vote the Democratic ticket in the north or divide their vote they would be pursuing a wise policy. By this action they would be in position to assert at once their intelligence and their independence. The Columbia state of South Carolina opens its doors and welcomes the colored voters in and says in doing so it follows the advice of Alexander Stephens, General Gordon, Senator Zeb Vance and Matt Ransom of North Carolina and others. There is nothing new or strange in the opposition we are meeting with in our effort to ally ourselves with the different political parties, says Bishop Alexander Walters. We have always met with strong opposition in our endeavors to better our condition. When the Negro asked for admission into the army at the beginning of the civil war he was told that he was not wanted; that it was a white man's war. Even the great Lincoln at first threw his weight against allowing the Negro to fight, bleed and die to save the Union and break the shackles from his own ankles and wrists. Did the Negro give up because he was not wanted? "No; he was told that he was making a fool of himself to offer himself to the nation, to enter the army, to die to help a people who did not want him. He was driven like a dog from the Union camp, but the Negro had sense enough to know that he would better his condition by being admitted to the army, allowed to fight for his country and his freedom, so he persisted in his efforts and was finally admitted." Afro-Americans Who Are Making Good In Beaufort, S. C., the postmaster, clerks, carriers and other employees are all Afro-Americans. They are honest and capable and render the government efficient service. Seven Afro-Americans are employed at the Greenville (Miss.) postoffice, with an aggregate annual salary of $6,300. The Political Situation in Texas The colored citizens of Texas who have recently announced their intention of voting the Democratic ticket at the general election in November have perfected county organizations throughout the state. It is believed by some that the bulk of the colored citizens in the state will vote for Wilson and Marshall and Governor O. B. Colquitt.
