-Let All Colored Americans and Friends Protest to Washington Against Post Office Segregation COLORED RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS TO ORGANIZE. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 23. On October 2,3 and 4 Negro railway postal clerks from every section of the country will meet at Chattanooga, Tenn., when a national association will be formed. This step will be taken by the colored clerks in the employ of the United States railway mail service in view of a recent amendment to the constitution of the white organization, barring Negroes from membership, as well as the clamor of white clerks for segregation. Coiored clerks resent the drawing of the color line, and they are showing that their is no desire on their part to affiliate with the white clerks by organizing local leagues among themselves in all large centers. There are some 1,800 Negroes in the United States railway mail Negroes Win Fight for Public Schools in W. Va. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 23. A complete victory was won by the colored people of the state, through their attorney, E. J. Graham, Jr., in the effort to compel the counties to furnish schools for the colored children, when the writ of mandamus was brought up for argument before Judge Chas. C. Newman, sitting in Part I of the circuit court. The mandamus was issued on application of Attorney Graham in behalf of the colored people of Hancock county. The case is the outgrowth of the failure of the Board of Education of Hancock county to furnish schooling for five minor children of Joshua Steel of Chester. Prosecuting Attorney Frank L. Bradley of Hancock county of Hancock county appeared before the court and stated in behalf of the School Board that they were willing to furnish places for all colored school children at once if the writ was withdrawn. Attorney Graham was willing to have writ continued until the November term of court in order to test the officials and this was agreed to by the prosecutor and court. This will mean that all colored children in the State will have to be provided with a place to attend school in the future. The prosecuting attorney of Hancock county blamed the trouble on the teachers of the county. Dr. Westbrook, office 29 Good block, office phone Main 1433.

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 We should remember that in these days great groups of men are not long oppressed, but by their own consent. Oppression cost the oppressor too much if the oppressed stand up and protest. The protest need not be merely physical the throwing of stones or bullets-if it is mental and spiritual, if it expresses itself in silent, persistent dissatisfaction, the cost to the oppressor is terrific. This fact we continually forget. We say: the South is in the saddle; what can we do against twenty millions? The white oppressor rules; of what avail is the agitation against 90 million? If you doubt the efficacy of agitation and protest, ask yourself; "Why is the reactionary oligarchic South of even one protesting voice? Why are the northern doughfaces, their millionarie backers and their allied teachers in Southern schools so panic stricken at one small voice? Why is the American Negro hater always so anxious to affirm that the Negro assents to his chains and insults, or that the "responsible" Negroes assent or that "the only real Negro leader" assents? Is it because they know that when one protesting voice finds its fellows it may find soon ten millions? And when ten million voices are raised to say: "Disfranchisement" is undemocratic; "Jim Crow" legislation adds insults to theft; "color" discrimination is barbarism—When ten million voices say this they will, they must be heard. And when their cause is once heard, its justice will be evident and its triumph sure. Agitate then, brother; protest, trevral the truth and refuse to be silenced. The most damnable canker at the heart of America is her treatment of the colored folk.—Crisis. If the one small voice heard in protest against their treatment in the public places especially the theaters, grows to 5000. what an impression can be made either at election or after election in Denver? After 50 years of attempted liberty the reactionary South, the complacent West and acquiescent North have formulated the following program for the Negro. 1. The absolute disfranchisement of all citizens of Negro descent forever. 2. The curtailment and regulation of property rights by segregation. 3. Strictly limited education of Negro children as servants and laborers. 4. The absolute subjection of Negro women by prohibition of legal marriage between races. 5. The eventual driving of the Negro out DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 4, 1913 Festivities at Peoples's Presbyterian Church.

Jones, Founder and Supt. of the Liberia Industrial Mission, Clay, Liberia, writes to Denver Citizens. "Necessity Mother of Invention and Oppression is Father of Extention." Wonderful Opportunities in Liberia for Young, Ambitious, Sacrificing Negroes. An appeal for Help. Weigh and Consider. To the many readers of the Denver Star, especially in Denver: Greeting from West Coast Africa: Doubtless some of you have been thinking what has become of that Dr. H. H. Jones, who said he was going to Liberia sometime ago? Well believe me he is still and very much alive at this writing and does not contemplate dying; for his life is hid with Christ in God, Amen. A little less than two years I have been in Liberia and the more I read your paper the more thankful I am to God that I am in Liberia. My heart aches when I notice the much ill-treat-ment that the man of color is receiving in the States; but I am of the opinion that God has a hand in it and you heard me express what I thought when I was with you. As necessity is the mother of invention, so is oppression the mother of extention. What the American Negro needs is extention, adventure and becoming a pioneer. Don't sit down and constantly resolve and dissolved and extend your bounds. If America would have been satisfied with European trade alone she would never have known of the trememdous trade in the far East as she did by extending herself. It is singularly amusing to me to note the spasmodic enthusiasm of the American Negro. When I was in Denver the seeming willingness of some of the people to come to Liberia was almost marvelous; but after 12 months I cannot or do not get a letter or any kind of encouragement from Denver. One dear friend in Denver sent me $15.00 for which I am very grateful to him and permit me to announce through your paper that that $15 is buying rice and clothing for two little girls, who had been bought out of slavery. preciate the expenditure of the money. The two girls cost $22.00. They have been converted and received the ordinance of baptism Sept. 7 and I wished the civilized world could have heard their testimony. You may disagree with me, but I say now, as I have said, when with you in Denver, "that God is back of the oppression the man of color is receiving in the States, because the American Negro has the light and he fails, neglects and refuses to send or take it to his brothers on the other side of the ocean. I tried to interest you and did to a certain extent, while in the States and you told me to "go and we will send help." I must say all that I have received from my colored friends in the U. S., out of the ten million, is $38, and from my white friends $2.10. I am not making complaints, merely stating facts and still trusting in God for future help. At this writing my health is O. K.—never better while in America. I am still teaching, preaching and practicing medicine 30 miles from Montrovia and use the proceeds derived from my labor, caring for four native children and building a cottage in the interior about 70 miles from Monrovia, where I hope to move Oct. 1. The lack of finance has hindered me greatly, but thank God the day is breaking. More and more I am convinced that Africa must be redeemed by the way of the soil. Teach the native to work, earn an honest living daily and systematically and he will quickly enough absorb what we call "civilization." Godly lives among the people is their saddest need. The awakening among the natives of this section is marvelous in the last ten years. NOW; NOW is the time for the enterprising American Negro to come and take hold of native iron, rich soil and nature's unclaimed resources. African soil supports, (undeveloped) millions of men, animals and plants, what could be done with the latest American agricultural and scientific methods!! Liberia wants the American Negro as never before and the white American is pressing him as never before. Press him, Mr. white man, press him, until some will come to the rescue of Liberia. Why cannot American Negroes get[American financiers interested in the railroads, telegraph, manufactures, industrial pursuits etc, when the German governments has made all kinds of proposals to the President of Liberia for a concession for railroads etc. Brothers in America for God sake and for the sake of Liberia. Come with your skill, youth and money. In Liberia you are wanted and needed, but in America you are needed, but not wanted. Can't you see? Come. Build up Liberia like the west was built up; off of Eastern capitalists' money. They are always ready to make money and trust the right kind of people. There is a prejudice in Liberia, but no color line. Every door is open to the man who can and will do. I love America because I owe her all I am or ever hope to be, but I am where I can do the most good for God and humanity! As long as my hands obey my commands in digging the soil of Africa and as long as there is breath in my body I shall teach men to use their hands, hearts and heads in redeeming and developing Africa, in general Liberia in particular. No person who cannot and will not be willing to bear the hardships, better stay in America. I thank the Star for this extended space, which permits me to talk to its readers and especially am I grateful to a certain young lawyer of color for the many papers, garden seeds and medical magazines he has sent me. I wish others would send me some as we never see American papers. Yours for the redemption of Africa, in word and in truth, H. H. Jones M. D. Clay, Liberia. Headquarters: Passaic New Jersey U. S. A.

MANAGERS ARE ENCOURAGED Arrangements For Great Ten Days' Festival In New York Showing Progress of the Race During Half Century of Freedom Complete—Special Features and Some New Facts. New York.—With the coming of cool weather and the return to the city of the large number of folk who spend their summer in vacation in the country a new impetus has been given to the work of the emacipation commission. On every hand the people, both white and colored, are manifesting the keenest interest in the progress of the exposition. The New York Sun and other metropolitan papers have devoted much space to the plans of the exposition, and the meeting held at the Union Baptist church recently was a most encouraging demonstration of the enthusiastic determination of the colored people to make the October celebration an unqualified success. Rev. George H. Sims, the popular and efficient pastor of Union church, who is also a worthy and capable mem- A. E. HON. JOHN B. CLAYTON. ber of the commission, presided at the meeting. The principal speakers were Chairman Robert N. Wood, Captain William H. Jackson, director of exhibits, and Mr. Granville Martin. An audience of 500 applauded their remarks, and a general discussion followed. From the northern nad western sections of the state come reports of the active interest and co-operation of the people, and every augury points to a magnificent result of the efforts of the commission, despite the shortness of the time it has had at its disposal. Mr. John B. Clayton of Brooklyn is also a member of the commission and has been a consistent worker for the success of the celebration from the start. He is well known in business and religious circles and has long wielded an influence for good in movements for racial uplift and integrity. The pageant portraying the twelve principal epochs in the history of the Negro is eliciting the liveliest attention and promises to prove a great educational influence for those who will take part in it as well as for those who will view this brilliant historical living picture. Among colored people as among white, there is a very great lack of information regarding the part that the Negro has played in the civilization of which he is a part. In these days of the unprecedented development of the mechanic arts, who stops to think that the primitive African discovered the use of iron and that today, in the heart of the so called dark continent, implements are made from this metal rivaling in workmanship and finish the finest products of the skill and ingenuity of the European artisan. In religion, too, the Negro has exerted a powerful influence, for it was a black man who first proclaimed from the summit of a mosque the hour of prayer in the faith which was founded by the prophet Mohamed. The Mohamedan religion now numbers hardly fewer adherents than the Christian faith, and in Africa itself the former is especially strong. The name of the Negro associate of the Arabian prophet is a byword for reverence and respect in all oriental lands, and it ought to be known in the colored man's country of adoption. The pageant is only one feature of the exposition. All the others will show the same care and painstaking effort on the part of all those who are interested in the progress and welfare of the colored race. Increasing demands are coming for space to exhibit the products of the hand and brain of the colored man. The exhibits will be displayed during the whole ten days of the exposition. Special features, such as the pageant, the congresses on religion and civics, the concerts, etc., will be repeated at frequent intervals. The commission is always ready to receive suggestions and to give information regarding the scope of the work to any one who communicates with the emancipation preclamation commission. 2217 Seventh avenue, New York city.

Beneficent Work of Man Who Forsook Barbers' Trade For the Ministry and What He Has Accomplished as Minister and Missionary to the Unfortunate of Both Races. By GEORGE F. KING. Charlotte, N. C.—One of the leading characters in this state in working for the uplift in the unfortunate is the Rev. James E. King, rector of St. Michael's and All Angels' Protestant Episcopal church, this city. He is a man possessed of humble virtues. His culture, sanity, splendid imagination, wit, courage and vigor have made him a factor among all classes of citizens. He is a concrete example of the principle that greatness in any form is an accumulation of little deeds having been done for the good of some one beef of many things that make for the common well being. A number of years ago the Rev. Mr. King left his native state, Virginia, and came to North Carolina. He was then a barber and made himself an artist at his work; but, having a deep spiritual, awakening that was a real joy for him, he could not longer reject the divine call for a higher service among men. Blessed with a loving wife, who encouraged him to prepare himself for the ministry, he became a deacon and then a priest in the Protestant Episcopal church. For nearly eighteen years he was rector of St. Ambrose's Protestant Episcopal church in Raleigh. The civic and spiritual activity for the well being of the Afro-American people in his section was greatly enhanced by his unselfish and self sacrificing interest for his people. Although he accomplished a great good in his regular church work, yet thousands of prisoners in the peni- P. REV. JAMES R. KING. tertiary of North Carolina of both races have been helped by him to lead better lives. He stands as a stimulating influence among the prisoners. For about thirteen years the Rev. Mr. King had charge of the services at the penitentiary. He has administered the last divine comfort to many condemned prisoners. From all the men ejected during his time, except three, he has some interesting final statements inscribed in several little books written by the electrocuted men. When Rector King accepted the call to this city people of all stations of life here and in Raleigh tried to get him to remain. The poor prisoners protested to him and begged him to remain, but he decided to come back to the work he was instrumental in starting, which holds a claim on him. The Rev. Mr. Logan, rector of St. Simon the Cyrenian, Philadelphia, and Rev. R. N. Perry, rector of St. Mark's Wilson, N. C., are among those who know of his worth. As a token of all the prisoners he was presented by the mayor of Raleigh with a unique hatrack, shield shaped and covered with red plush, and has a small looking glass in the center, with the horns of a cow for hooks. It has two noffs of a cow for matchboxes. The rack was made by the prisoners. That the white prisoners admired him is strikingly evidenced in many instances, and among them is a gift by Wilcox, the white man who murdered the Cropsey girl at Elizabeth City, N. C., which created nation wide interest. The gift is also a curiosity. It is an altar of a church made on a table made within a quart bottle. Another prisoner for life made him a present of an artistically carved cane. Rev. Mr. King has been in charge of the work less than a year, but he has well organised the members of his church, and they have purchased a parsonage. Selma University's Good Fortune. Selma university is fortunate in securing the services of Rev. Dr. A. F. Owens, as dean of the theological department of that institution. Dr. Owens was formerly in charge of Phelps Hall Bible Training school at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Ask This Man To Read Your Life.

Herr Paul Stahmann, an experienced Astrologer, of Ober Niewsadern, Germann, says: "The Horoscope which Professor Roxxoy worked out for me is quite according to the truth. It is a very clever and conscientious piece of work. As an Astrologer myself I carefully examined his Planetary calculations and indications, and proved that his work in every detail is perfect, and that he is up-to-date in his science." Baroness Blanquet, one of the most talented ladies of Paris, says: "I thank you for my Complete Life Reading, which is really of extraordinary accuracy. I had already consulted several Astrologers, but never before have I been answered with so much truth, or received such complete satisfaction.

Commenting on the work of the newspaper correspondent, Franklin F. Johnson of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger says: "The reporter and correspondent may be of great service to a race journal in countless ways. He is the man who goes direct to the people for news and sends the same back to all the people through the paper he represents. "Very few race journals have as yet seen the necessity of employing capable reporters, and therein lies a great drawback. A paper without good news is like a salary list with an empty treasury. "My experience with the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger has proved invaluable to me because my employer, Mr. John H. Murphy, has always insisted that I get all the news without blas and as accurate as possible. His insistence on this policy spells the reason for his paper having such a strong hold on the confidence of the people of Maryland. No paper can be successful without its being able to present fairly the news and especially that which is of general importance. "Not only does each paper that claims to represent the best interests of the race need a first class reporter in the place of publication, but the editors of such papers should be on such friendly terms with their brother editors in other cities that there should be a regular exchange of news of more than local importance. "Capable correspondents are not only needed to build up a paper locally, but in the chronicleing of those events of vital interest to the race where more than ordinary ability and knowledge are required." Washington on Ignoring Politics. Because Dr. Booker T. Washington advised against political influence in the work of the Bordentown (N. J.) Industrial school some of the northern daily papers are interpreting the great educator's meaning to their own liking, and for the very object, doubtless, against which Dr. Washington advised. The Bordentown school is a state institution for the education of colored youths. So far as Afro-Americans are concerned the remarks of Dr. Washington were not intended to mean that they, the voting class, should forego any political, civil or personal right as citizens in order to obtain an education. The voteless citizen is a badly handicapped person and lives in violation of the federal constitution whether hindered by unfair laws operated against him by those in authority through prejudice or of his own volition.

Remarkable Advance Made by Individuals In Montgomery Interestingly Told by Traveler In Quest of Facts About Conditions as They Actually Are—Work of Local Organization. By RALPH W. TYLER. Montgomery, Ala.—A visitor to this conservative city, where Jefferson Davis took the oath as president of the Confederacy, is struck at first with how far into the background of the past the Negro has pressed the then status of his condition. Then the city's colored inhabitants were either housed in master owned shanties or the servants' quarters of "the big house." Today they are either housed in comfortable cottages or commodious residences which they themselves own. Then the problem was one which the abolitionists of the north were trying to solve. Now it is a problem the Negroes of pretty Montgomery are solving themselves. Another thing which impresses the visitor to Montgomery is that the apparent conservatism, characteristic of the city, among our people is quickly dissipated when you mention the city of Birmingham, for it is a matter of confident belief with them that they have achieved and are achieving more in the way of material progress than their fellows over in the "Pittsburgh of the south." This rivalry existing between these two cities makes for greater progress among the people of Montgomery. Montgomery's 50,000 population is about equally divided between the two races. The city lies in the cotton belt of Alabama, and cotton growing would be a lost art were it not for the colored laborers. I took a drive and, lest you think the race here are not progressive, will state my drive was in a handsome touring car owned by a Negro. I was shown the beautiful homes owned by our people and had pointed out to me several hundred cozy modern cottages owned and occupied by colored citizens. The colored people of Montgomery are making remarkable progress, and the local Business league here is active in fostering and extending business establishments among the race, the president of the league, J. H. Fagain, being one of the most energetic men I ever met in a similar capacity. They have a real Negro Business league in Montgomery, one that believes a Negro business league should be no pent up Utica, but an instrument to advance the race along every possible worthy line. For instance, the league here is active in its efforts to improve the school facilities, the anti-tuberculosis crusade, the Hale infirmary and the employment of a colored matron in the waiting room of the railroad station. Among the business establishments in Montgomery which are owned, controlled and manned by our folks are: Two bakeries, one bank, two butcher shops, more than a dozen blacksmith shops, three well furnished barber shops, one carriage shop, one jewelry store, two motion picture theaters, three very successful realty companies, eight shoemaking establishments, six tailoring establishments, one large transfer company, two funeral directors, one up to date drug store, two or three insurance companies, one clothing store, several first class grocery stores, one harness manufacturer and two wide awake newspapers. The professional men compare most favorably with any in the country. I was much impressed with one paragraph in a recent letter sent out by the Negro Business league of Montgomery to every member of the league that "it should be remembered that we are building a race within a great civilization which is exacting and calls the business classes as a business comming, as many do, representative and patriotic citizens." The league is doing everything in its power to urge members of the race to learn the building trades in order that the race may monopolize the trades, just as it monopolizes the domestic service. While most of the bricklaying and carpenter work in Montgomery is still done by Negroes, it is observed that white men plying these trades have begun to get a foothold in that city, and to guard against the possibility of the Negro being driven from the trades the Negro Business league here is urging that the race learn the trades. Some of the Negroes who have put Montgomerion on the business map, who are actually "building a race within a great civilization," are G. E. Newstell, Dr. Scott, A. C. Dungee, L. A. Gilmer, Major Saxton, O. L. Campbell, J. H. Fagan, J. H. Phillips, Dr. U. S. Dean and V. H. Tulane. And the Negro Business league at Montgomery stands for a very high degree of civile pride, which commends it to and secures for Negro business men the approval and the patronage of progressive white citizens. At Montgomery. Ala., you find the spirit of progress among the Negroes as strong as in any community, you find race loyalty that is most commendable, and you find thrift and the desire to accumulate unsurpassed. NEW MEETING HOUSE FOR MOUNT SINAI CONGREGATION Successful Work of the Rev. John H. Taylor In Baltimore. The Rev. John H. Taylor one of the younger Baptist ministers of Baltimore, has been most successful during his nine years as pastor of Mount Sinai Baptist church. He organized the congregation nine years ago, and the membership is now nearly 500. While pastoring in Baltimore the Rev. Mr. Taylor studied at Clayton Williams university, from which he received the degree of bachelor of divinity. He is now chairman of the board of trustees of the university and president of the colored Baptist convention of Maryland. He is a hard worker among the Baptists. His congregation is now having a handsome two story brick and stone church erected at Ashland avenue and Hillman street. It will be completed this fall. New Home For Baptist Congregation. The congregation of the Mount Carmel Baptist church in Washington through its pastor, the Rev. William H. Jermagin, and the board of trustees has purchased the edifice of the Central Presbyterian church. The membership of the Mount Carmel church is steadily increasing and more room is needed for its work. This is afforded in the edifice recently bought. Beecher Centenary Celebration. The committee in charge of arrangements for holding the public meeting in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Henry Ward Beecher has announced Wednesday, Oct. 21, as the date on which the celebration will be held in Plymouth church. Brooklyn. George E. Wibecan is chairman of the committee. Unique Business Concern Prospers. The Farmers and Consumers' league located in the heart of the wholesale district in Philadelphia, is designed to reduce the high cost of living by a new system by which the farmer deals directly with the consumer through the league. The project is succeeding Messrs. C. K. Brown and Charles A. Hopkins are the promoters of the unique concern. THE NEW YORK TIMES SOMM DAY THE SHOP MME. C. J. SPIRES Madame C. J. Spires made the effort of her life when she turned a seemingly failure into a success, due to her concentrate ability for organization and management. The concert was an artistic and musical success, notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather prevented many from attending. Her program was a trifle long yet good and especially the ex- Mrs. B. F. McCully returned home from an extended trip from the South. On the 22nd inst. was celebrated in approved style by the colored people as the Emancipation Day, with speeches by prominent men of both races. Miss Amy Campbell was queen of the day. Mrs. T. H. Newsom will leave for Anaconda, Mont., to visit her sister for an extended stay. Mrs. Manford Smith was baptized last Sunday by Rev. Johnson of the baptist church. There has been or there are 25 colored children enrolled in the schools of Sheridan. No race suicide here. Loyd Crawford and Matthew Lee have entered high school. Mrs. Andy Chenault, who is in the hairdressing and manicuring trade for the past three years, has built up a business that has put all her white rivals out the trade. During the month of June and July she took a post-graduate course in the art at Denver. All her regular customers have regular hours for their work, with a very little time for her transient trade. Rev. McCully has been attending General Conference for the past week. Mr. John Ivy, our prosperous rancher, has bought the Jess Baker residence of Avoca avenue. Mrs. Edmunds returned from the East, where she spent a few days with friends. Emancipation celebration at Kirby opera house was a huge success Monday afternoon. Nearly two hundred colored people of Sheridan gathered with a few of their white friends and observed the fifty-first anniversary of the issuing of the emancipation proclamation. Mr. Thomas Newsom, the chairman of the committee, was the presiting officer and introduced the various speakers. He gave short talks upon features regarding the colored race. After the exercises were opened by prayer by Rev. Abbott of Ananloda, Mont., the audience then joined the fourteen voices in the chorus in singing "America." Mr. Williams, our most estimable man of our race, made the address of welcome. His final advice to the people of his race was for them to save their money and study so that in time they would become a more powerful factor in the country's development. Mayor Kutcher made an able address on our advancement. He also praised Booker T. Washington and called him patron saint of the Negro race. He advised all colored men to buf homes and settle down and become a vital part of the country by paying taxes. Dr. Long, pastor of the Presbyterian church next spoke. The stress of his talk, however, was laid upon the task ahead of the colored race in this country, which he said was to develop to its greatest powers while mixed with another race. County Attorney Diefenderfer spoke next. He also spoke of the progress of the Negro race in the last fifty years. He complimented the Negroes of Sheridan county by saying that they gave the least trouble of any race. Rev. B. B. Johnson, pastor of the colored Baptist church, gave a few remarks, praising some of the most prominent men of our race, thanking the white people for their assistance in time of need and in general reviewing the fifty years of advancement made by our people. At the conclusion of Rev. Johnson's address the ladies served all present with luncheon. AUGUST 20TH 1927 UK SOUTH tra number of Mr. Berry.

The rite of Christian baptism will be administered as soon as he is able to get to church. Shorter will make a special effort to raise funds with which to purchase two carloads of coal.

The sacred forum last Sabbath evening was an excellent number. A splendid entertainment was in store and the congregation came through the rain to enjoy it.

POST APPLAUDS TROUBADOURS. The Post, Denver, Colo., September 24, 1912.—Last night at the Auditorium there appeared seven young men who are known as Byron's Troubadours, having been brought here by the Rev. Thomas-Hazell for the benefit of the People's Presbyterian church. The boys appear to be Hawaiian in nationality, and seem to possess all of the natural musical instincts of their race, singing with those always pleasing mellow voices and choosing the kind of music that appeals to the popular fancy—the serious kind with melody the keynote. It was a varied program, consisting of violin, cello and piano trios, duets and solos, with a goodly amount of singing. For the most part the numbers were short, surprisingly so, but the boys were generous with encores, which were unfailing demanded each time.

ACCUSED MAN NOT INDICTED Requisition Proceedings In Unusual Case of Alleged Fugitive From Justice Held Up on Constitutional Grounds — Counsel For Defendant Balke Attempt to Pervert Justice. Philadelphia.—The case of Frederick Brown, charged with the murder of one J. F. Durst, a white man, in Johnson, S. C., seven years ago and who immediately fled to this city, comes up for trial in this city in October on extradition proceedings. Remembering that the Hon. Cole L. Blease, the governor of South Carolina, had publicly stated that he would lead a mob to lynch a Negro, G. Edward Dickerson, Esq., sent a telegram to Governor Tener of Pennsylvania to grant no requisition for the return of Brown without giving his friends an opportunity to be behead, for the reason that they feared he would be lynched. At a hearing last April before Deputy Attorney General Hargest on behalf of the governor and Mr. Dickerson. Dr. N. F. Mossell, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Dr. William M. Slowe and Charles H. Brooks appeared and presented strong reasons why the defendant should not be returned. The state of South Carolina was represented by the assistant attorney general, who came on to insure Brown's return. The latter was forced to admit that the governor of South Carolina would not grant any protection to the defendant if he were returned. Notwithstanding that it was conclusively shown that the accused could not obtain a fair and impartial trial and that in all probabilities he would be lynched, the governor of Pennsylvania granted the requisition without demanding a promise of protection as a condition of his granting the same. Before the man could be taken away Lawyer Dickerson had gone by night to Judge Robert N. Willson and applied for a writ of habeas corpus to test the proceedings. The same was duly granted and a day for a hearing fixed. The case was heard by Judge Ferguson, who, while he refused to discharge Brown, gave ten days for the attorney to perfect an appeal. Mr. Dickerson then applied to Judge Orlady of the superior court for a supersedeas and stay of proceedings pending the appeal. When the judge heard the full particulars of the case he exclaimed, "This is an extraordinary case and requires an extraordinary remedy!" He referred Mr. Dickerson to the full court, which meets in Pittsburgh. Thither hastened Mr. Dickerson with his petition for a supersedeas, for unless the stay were granted the man would be taken immediately back to South Carolina before the appeal was heard. After considering the case for two days the superior court decided not to reverse a former ruling, to wit, not to go behind the return of the governor. Not daunted, Lawyer Dickerson hastened back to Philadelphia and made an application to Judge J. Whitaker Thompson of the United States district court for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that it was against the constitution of the United States to return a man to be lynched. The story of oppression and injustice was told again with telling effect. The judge said, "I may not agree with your version of the law, but every man is entitled to be heard, and I will grant the writ." Mr. Dickerson was given one hour to prepare his petition and return. When the hour was up the petition had been prepared and signed, and "Judge Lynch" had again been defeated. At the hearing in the United States court the assistant attorney general from South Carolina was there to argue the case and brought his detectives with him to take Brown back, Brown told a pathetic story of having shot in self defense and how he had gone thirty-five miles during the night on foot to prevent being lynched. The judge said that he preferred the higher court to pass on the question, and in refusing to discharge Brown granted an appeal and stay of proceedings pending said appeal. This appeal will be argued in October, and Brown will be kept in prison in the meantime. Two constitutional questions are involved as the case now stands. The first, whether a man can be returned on a charge of murder which is seven years old, without being first indicted; the second, whether he cannot demand a guarantee of a fair and impartial trial and protection against lynch law, or not go back at all. Finally, if the appeal is lost the case may be taken to the supreme court of the United States, and, losing there, then the case may be transferred to the United States district court of the South Carolina district and tried on its merit. At such trial the grandfather's clause to the South Carolina constitution can be attacked on the grounds that the jury is drawn from the voting list, and the voting list is not based upon manhood suffrage, but is hereditary and unconstitutional. Thus it is hoped to uproot the whole disfranchisement system of the south. THE MUSICIAN MRS. A: M. POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. MRS. A: M.

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.

[2541 WELTON STREET] COLLEGE MAN ON RACE PROGRESS Professor N. C. Bruce Sees Bright Future Ahead. SPEAKS AT BATES COLLEGE Well Known Educator of Dalton, Mo. Pays High Tribute to His Alma Mater and Declares That Colored Americans Are Not Discouraged. Noble Type of White Americans. In a recent address at Bates college Professor N. C. Bruce, a prominent educator of Dalton, Mo., and an alumnus of Bates college, gave a most interesting and instructive discourse on the struggles and achievements of the colored race in America since emancipation. Professor Bruce is a well known college man and deserves all the praise which has come to him for his unselfish labors in behalf of his race. Mr. Bruce first paid this high tribute to his alma mater: "Bates college recognizes men and manhood. Her doors, from the beginning back yonder in 1864, were opened to all who had a will, male and female, especially the worthy poor. God grant her the wisdom to fight it out forever on this line. Like Pentecost, where Persians, Medes, Greeks, barbarians, Parthians, Cretes, Jews, all were welcomed and were of one mind and purpose, never destroying each other's sunshine of racial purity, may she never even suffer her student bodies to close Bates' door of hope against any poor boy of any race." Continuing his speech, Professor Bruce said: In those sections we now possess $1,000,000,000 of property, have more than forty good colleges manned successfully by our own trained educators, 2,000 lawyers, 3,000 medical doctors, 35,000 teachers of 2,000,000 children in public schools, 300,000 farms owned by us, with 100,000 churches and with upward of sixty banks of our own and hundreds of various business establishments, and the story has hardly begun of what has been done, and yet we are just beginning to make real progress. How is it. I am often asked, that your people, several hundred, are in German, Italian and English colleges PROFESSOR K. C. BRUCE. and universities, making equally high averages as the best white Americans, and that in our great American universities, when given a chance, they perform as well even in the most abstruse subjects as any of their white fellows? I invariably give one and the same answer to all, the Bates college answer, that "God is no respecter of persons." Your own Abraham Lincoln had less chance than most southern Negroes today, yet he excelled Harvard's Edward Everett at Gettysburg, and his name and fame today shine as a star of the first magnitude. Again I declare to you that my people are not discouraged. The God of nations is our God. He it is whom my people try to serve, who gives us grace sufficient to withstand every injustice aimed at us. But Bates college, especially the faculty and classes of the eighties and nineties, affords a better answer than my feeble words can give. For here there now is a type of great and noble hearted white Americans, who give every student equal and exact justice. Negroes are not all indolents, fools and menacers of race purity and race integrity. More than nine and three-fourths millions of us are proud of our God given color, satisfied with ourselves, are busy in our fields and at our work, trying always to produce a better citizenship and not thinking nor desiring to mongrelize America. The few score who give trouble are set down upon harder by these overwhelming hosts of us than by any of you or your southern cousins. And so sanity and reason are again reenthroning themselves in the minds and hearts of white Americans, and these, like Bates college fifty years ago, are now beginning to appreciate the oneness of humanity and are finding out that one man or race cannot degrade, enalase and withhold inallenable rights from their unfortunate brother of a darker hue without themselves suffering in equal proportion. Our governing classes are seeing that education and training will help even cats and dogs and horses and that no imported Chinese, Jap, Slav, Turk or Greek can seat my hardy and sunburnt race in the cotton, corn, hay and rice fields. WORK OF PRAIRIE VIEW COLLEGE Growth of Largest Texas School Inspires Confidence. MANY INDUSTRIES TAUGHT. Much Credit For Success of Institution Which Receives Liberal Aid From the State Is Due to the Energetic and Able Management of Principal Edward L. Blackshear. Perhaps no state school anywhere in the country is doing quite the effective work and reaching as many young people as the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial college, Prairie View, Tex. Texas is rather liberal to the work and provides for it on a much larger scale than is true of any of the other state schools for our people. In addition to this the work of the institution and the results attained have been of such a character as to warrant the greatest confidence in the men at the head of the work. The greater growth and development of the institution has been due to the farseeing and energetic principal, Professor Edward L. Blackshear, who has been at the head of the work since 1896. Under his principalship Prairie View has become the largest state institution for colored people in the United States. Like many of the other colored schools of the south, it combines the normal and industrial training. In addition to strong normal and music courses the following industries are taught: Blacksmithing, carpentry, shoe and harness making, printing, tailoring, felt hat making, laundering, truck farming, sewing, cooking and millinery. The enrollment has increased from 140 to more than 1,000, including the summer session. Dr. Blackshear, the principal, was born in Montgomery, Ala., in 1862. He attended the Swayne school when it was under the auspices of the American Missionary Association of the Congregational Churches of America. Here one of the northern teachers, EDWARD L. BLACKSHEAR. Professor J. F. McPherson, became interested in young Blackshear on account of his love for study and books and induced him to go to Tabor college, Iowa, where he lived with Professor A. S. McPherson, a brother of J. F. McPherson. Young Blackshear remained here six years, attending college and working for his board. His benefactors are still living in California. In 1881 Professor Blackshear graduated and in 1882 went to Texas, where he has been engaged in teaching among his people ever since. A life of sacrificial effort, of painstaking care and of judicious service to the people of his race has been peculiarly his. He taught in the county schools of Ellis and Bastrop for two years, working in the intervening fall with a telegraph gang, setting poles between Waco and Gainesville. In the fall of 1883 he was elected principal of one of the ward schools for colored people in the city of Austin. the capital of the state. He taught in Austin thirteen years, occupying successfully the positions of principal in a primary school, principal of a grammar school and supervisor of the colored city schools. In 1890 he was elected principal of the State Normal and Industrial college at Prairie View, Waller county, Tex. Professor Blackshear in all essentials is one of the strongest and most forceful educators in the Negro race and has a record of achievements that would redound to the credit of any man. He is a member of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools and a fellow of the American Association For the Advancement of Science. The enrollment at the opening of the school recently was larger than ever for the first week. North Carolina Baptist Convention. The eleventh annual meeting of the North Carolina Baptist State convention will be held in Elizabeth, N. C., for five days, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 15. The sessions of the convention will be held in the Olive Branch Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. C. M. Cartwright is pastor. An aggressive campaign to arouse general interest in the coming convention throughout the state is being conducted. Do You Know We Solicit Your Patronage W. G. BIRD and D.
