The Freeman

Advertising Returns from The Freeman are the Convincing Proofs of its Circulation THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER NO GREAT SUCCESS IS THE VERDICT OF A PARSON ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE A. M. E. BOOK CONCERN. DR. LEAK TAKEN TO TASK A Dereliction of Duty Somewhere-- Discoveries of Importance--Why Does Dr. J. M. Henderson Represent the Publication Board? The lines of the A. M. E. church is as liable to become soiled as that of any other religious body. Contact with this world will inevitably be productive of some spots of dirt. But where will the washing be done and who will be the manager of the laundry? is the question. For a number of years the business has had its headquarters in New York, at least the manager of the laundry resided there. The purifying process has been conducted through the secular press. The headquarters for the present quadrennium will be in Philadelphia. From that vantage ground the work can be carried on more successfully. Dr. John M. Henderson's article in the Freeman of the 27th ult. comes as a great surprise to many of us in the far away Southland. Truly does Dr. Henderson say that Dr. Leak "has no particular fitness for this office." It only shows the folly of men when they lose their heads. To be fair with Dr. Leak, it can safely be said that he not only entered upon his work as manager of the book concern with "no special zeal or ambition," but as an honest man, and as a far seeing man, he dreaded the breakers. As a presiding elder in a state where he had spent his best years, and over men whom he had "made," Dr. Leak is a howling success, but as manager of a great publishing house, of a great church, Dr. Leak is a failure—an honest failure. I am not surprised at what seems to be Dr. Leak's trouble; but at the course things are taking. What was the use of this great hurry in bringing Dr. Leak to account? Who authorized the House of Bishops to examine the affairs of a general officer? What has become of the Publication Board? What body constituted the bench of bishops, a board of examiners of the publication department? Dr. Leak has been in office a little over twelve months. Every general board in the connection has been called and has held its annual meeting with the exception of the publication board, of which Dr. Leak is manager, and Bishop Derrick president. It is said that it was at last discovered that the general conference had no authority to create a general board for the publication department, according to the provisions of the charter. We have been a long time finding this out, but as ```markdown ``` B.F. THOMAS GMA MRS. DR. I GARDAN PENN, Atlanta, Georgia. --- VOLUME XIV NUMBER 38. soon as it was discovered that the board must consist of Philadelphia preachers and laymen, the manager finds himself held up to the world as being a defaulter in less than twelve months from the time that he had fairly settled himself down in office. If the Philadelphia board has held a meeting why don't they report? meeting why don't you report. I am not trying to fight Dr. Leak's battle, for everybody knows that Dr. Leak does not need my aid. Dr. Henderson begins his article by saying: "I have been requested by those high in authority to write a careful and full statement of the recent history of the Book Concern." This "high authority" must have been a bishop or a number of bishops. Why didn't the "authority" do its own writing? Was it for lack of ability or was it simply beneath the authority's dignity? Then, with "reluctance" (?) Dr. Henderson undertakes the task. Who ever heard of our good friend, Henderson, rosting a fellow with "reluctance." We admit that these "facts and figures" of Dr. Henderson's (if the facts are truths, and the figures are accurate) are startling. But 1 fail to see the wisdom in washing our soiled linen by this process. It Dr. Henderson's exposition of the condition of the Book Concern proceeds from authority, there is no earthly power to have kept it out of the official organs of the church. If these conditions really existed when this bishop's examining board reached their findings, was this the way to remedy it? If it was the intention of this high council to inform the church of the facts in the case, why not speak through the mouth piece of the church. That, it seems to me, would have been the surest way of reaching the ear of the connection. Dr. Henderson is a writer of ability, and his productions always make good reading matter. Really there are none like unto him. But he should not make some unknown responsible for his attack on the Book Concern. It is an open secret that from a business point of view, the General Conference erred in the selection of Dr. Leak to this position. But it will be hard to convince the church that Leak is not as honest as any general officer that has filled any position for the last fifty years. See? The real truth is, that after the first ballot for bishops was cast, and three of the most popular men in the church were declared elected, the rank and file lost interest, comparatively, and several men were elected by acclimation from bishops down. The election of Dr. Leak was by no means the only mistake made, neither was it the biggest blunder. Dr. T. W. Henderson was only too glad to shake off the management; and to tell the truth, the general conference had to almost beg some one to take it. The reason was plain. Now since this public washing has commenced, and since it was authorized by "those high in authority" let the whole truth come. The shaky condition of the Book Concern is not of recent occurrence by any means, and nobody knows that better than Dr. Henderson. Until Dr. Leak can get a hearing, every conservative minded man would plead for a suspension of judgment. B.F. THOMAS GMB. --- INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1901 M. DR. WILLIAM J. SIMMONS, One of the Founders of the National Baptist Association. there seems to be still that same old entanglement of lines between the editor and manager. It is mentioned, however, as something new. If, however, the thing is as bad as Dr. Henderson describes it, Dr. Johnson, the editor, is less than a man to endure it; and then ory like a baby, and turn to the "irrepressible J. M. Henderson" for relief. If Leak does not allow Johnson to write editorials, why could not Johnson, himself, tell the church? But let that pass. The rehearsal of the wild, visionary scheme about Dr. Leak proposing to unite his district with the eight, and then lassoing the districts of Bishops Salters, Lee, Tanner and Turner and thus rule the church, is interesting reading matter.

To the Public at Large.-ton Griffin is here by anganize clubs or conventions One might suppose by this article that I am a supporter of Dr. Leak for the management. Not so, I did not vote for him, and would not vote for him again. Scores of those who did vote to sweep him into office had an ax to grind. They did not vote "for the best man for the place" but voted with a view of getting a good place for themselves. Since the grand old hero of many battles is elected, give him a man's chance, in the meantime let Dr. Leak or somebody else tell the church what has become of the General Board of Publication, elected by the general conference; and if the general conference made a mistake in electing a board, tell us who are the members.

Searcy has been out of the city for some time in the interest of the educational work he is engaged in. We ask our people, in Heaven's name, the next time they call a mass meeting to draft resolutions for Rev. Ewing or anybody else, to keep those white reporters away and not invite them in our midst to see a lot of Aunt Hagar's children act so ugly as they did a few Sundays ago at Zion hall. ON THE WING.—Little Rock, Ark.—I left Memphis, Tenn., August 26, 1901, and am spending a couple of weeks here. This town is situated on the Arkansas river, in Pulaski county. The population is—white, 25 329; colored, 22 006, in city and county. There are three A. M. E Zion churches, five A. M. E, two C. M. E., one Episcopal, known here as the blue veins, one Congregational, one Presbyterian, ten Baptist, one so-called Church of God, better known as the Do-Rights, one church of the Sanctified. There are five colored physicians, two dentists, one large undertaker's establishment. There are five or six well to do colored men, worth from $10,000 to $75,000 each, and a good percentage of our people own their homes—many of them pretty six and ten room cottages. The Methodist Ministers' Union meets every Monday morning, where each makes report of progress and discuss important questions. Then they have the Preacher's Alliance, which meets every fifth Monday for the purpose of devising ways and means to sustain an Old Peoples' Home. Ministers PRICE FIVE CENTS, SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, $550.: ONE YEAR, $1.50 of all denominations meet in this meeting and seem to work in accord, and yet I find there are a few old time Baptists who still hold that a Methodist preacher is not fit to preach in their pulpits. There are three colleges — Philander Smith, M. E. Church, Arkansas Baptist College, and Shorter University of A. M. E. church. E. W. SADDLER. Pearl Fishing in Arkansas. Newport, Ark., Special.—A new industry is developing in the Bear State in the line of pearl fishing. So great is the excitement that all other business is almost at a stand still for want of labor. Servants in private families are in great demand on account of women and children being out pearl fishing. This industry does not necessitate the outlay of one bit of capital, but many are fishing on an extensive scale—boats, tongs and an evaporator, in which the muscles are heated to make them open. All classes of people—the rich and poor, the blacks and the whites may be seen wading in water up to their neck, with one hand they hold their nose while they dive down and bring up the shells with the other. Hundreds of pearls are obtained in this way, and many of them are worth all the way from $50 to $2,000. To wear an Arkansas pearl is the rage among society people; it is no uncommon thing to see colored ladies and gentlemen wearing jewelry studded with White and Black river pearls. These pearls are of various sizes, shapes and colors—from a pure white to a jet black. Car loads of shells, from which the pearls are obtained, are shipped to the pearl button factories in the East. Your correspondent, while sojourning in these parts, is making himself familiar with the pearl business that he may, on returning to Mississippi, examine the waters around and about Yazoo City, Roseeneath and Belzoni. The drought is yet unbroken in the central part of the State, and all except the pearl hunters are beginning to realize its effects. Corn is a failure; cotton not a fourth of a crop and stock dying of thirst. Dr. J M Robinson a graduate of Meharry and a former resident of Pickens, Miss, is doing a successful practice here.

WORK FOR WOMEN AS OUTLINED BY A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN. UTTER REGARD FOR VIRTUE Is Seen in a Number of Cities and Towns of the South--Teeming Vices in the North--The Harvest is Abundant and the Laborers Few. Now that the second Biennial of the National Association of Colored Women is over, what shall we as women of the organization do? Shall we discuss the proceedings of the last meeting, whisper the commendable features on part of one another, and ory aloud one another's mistakes until we grow hoarse, then rest up till time for the next meeting which is to be held in St. Louis, in 1903, where we will go with gilt edge reports from our several clubs, make flowery speeches, get applause, and then rest again? or shall we from this very month begin looking up the many things needed to be done for ourselves and for the bettermen of our whole people between this and the next meeting? I would suggest the latter, and add to it by suggesting that we not only learn what is to be done, but do. Each doing a little will accomplish much. When we remember that a race is judged by the thoughts, doings and sayings of the majority, then see the ignorance and poverty on the Southern plantations, farms and country villages, the sin, intemperance and little regard for virtue in our towns and cities of the South, the teaming vices of the many of our people in the cultivated cities of the North, we realize the truth, that the harvest is great and the laborers are few. Whatever our capabilities, or our complexion, we can rise no higher than the race that claims us. We rise with its triumphs and go down with its defeats. Since the question of rising, remaining in a state of inertia, or sinking lower seems to be the duty of us to solve, let us at once get more earnestly at the solution. Let us get among the people in our different sections and teach by our higher intelligence and lift by our greater strength. Again let us as women of the association work in harmony, live in peace and love one another as sisters should. We can grow strong by borrowing from one another the strength that is peculiar to different individuals. And if it is our desire to work together for the uplifting of our people Christ our Savior will guide and strengthen us, and ere long the world will see an improved condition of the whole colored race of America.

The indications are that the fellowship and good cheer which characterized all previous meetings of the Head and Second Waiters National Benefit Association will be fully maintained at its approaching meeting in Buffalo, N Y., September 23-25, 1901. The auxiliary organization has been uniring in its [Name not visible] Headwater Forest City Hotel, Cleveland, efforts to prepare a fitting welcome and to furnish suitable entertainment for the larger body. The names of the gentlemen forming the reception committee is a sufficient guarantee that the creature comforts of their guests and the social functions attending their visit will tend to lighten their weightier deliberations and enhance the benefits to accrue therefrom. In extending fraternal greetings to the brothers we are reminded of the [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. ROBT. GRANT, Headwaiter McLure Hotel, Wheeling, W. Va.

We are confronted with the waiter's narrowing opportunities through foreign competition and rare prejudice, as well as from the apathy of those who hold the business of a waiter in light esteem. But those things should not deter us from pressing forward, conscious that as long as man's M. B. WM. ANDREWS, Hendwiler Arena Hotel, Atlanta, Ga.

The selection of a leader for the organization during the ensuing year will, Headwaiter Clarendon Hotel, Zanesville, O. Representative The Freeman and Candidate for Vice President H. & S. W. N, B. A. in all probability, be the most important matter claiming the attention of the delegates. It is the universal hope that wisdom will guide the selection and that the man chosen will command the respect and deserve the confidence of those who have a right to look to the organization for guidance. The occupation of the waiter is no longer sought by the ignorant and vicious, nor are its fruits to be gathered by those who have failed in other walks of life. On the contrary the system demands a high grade of intelligence, moral character and devoted services are among the requirements of the profession. If the race is to furnish its quote of those who will serve in this [Picture of a man] honorable calling its leadership must be entrusted to an enlightened, judicial and conservative man who will be uninfluenced by race prejudice in a crisis when holding the scale between employer and employee.

The numerical strength of the guild of the waiters in the United States, and the enlightenment to be found in the ranks demands an executive whose personality will create enthusiasm and whose capabilities will leave no doubt of his ability to meet the requirements of the difficult position. Happily such a man may be found in the organization. May the choice be spontaneous and unanimous. A MEMBER. The Second Annual Convention of the H. and S. W. N. B. A. It looks as though this year's convention of the Head and Second Waiters' National Association (Buffalo, September 23-25) will be largely attended. It is said that several important amendments to the constitution will be offered and that other business of equally vital interest will be taken up. There is a great deal of speculation as M. B. A. L. HARRIS, Neil House, Columbus, O. to who will be elected officers for the ensuing year. The leading candidates for the position of president are W. Alonzo Locke, Cairo, Ill., the present officer, E. T. Montgomery, of the Bailey Catering Co., Buffalo, and E. H. Harper, of the Mansion, Brooklyn, (during the summer at the Cataract House, Niagara Falls.) For secretary, those who have been mentioned most frequently are C. W. Henderson, Cleveland, O.; C. M. Farrar, Baltimore, Md.; Charles E. W. Buckner, this city. For vice president the principal candidates are H. Pettigrew, Pittsburg, Pa.; J. J. Miles, Milwaukee, Wis., and E. C. Holland, Zanesville, O. Following are the names of the association's members at present located in Buffalo: Chas. E. W. Buckner, W. B. Keys, C. W. Henderson, E. T. Montgomery, W. R. Harris, A. E. Jenkins.

ASSASSINATIONS For the third time in the history of his country the chief executive has been laid low by the assassin's hand. "That death loves a shining mark" has been too well exemplified by the taking off of three of the most beloved men that ever graced the presidential chair. Owing to the circumstances of Lincoln's day he was not at his death the idol of a united country. But his vast service to mankind has not failed to wring from mankind a just recognition of his eminent worth, and to day he is gloriously memorialized, immortalized in stone, bronze, and, furthermore, in the hearts of his countrymen everywhere regardless of sectional lines, races or creeds. President Garfield, like the lamented McKinley, was enjoying immense popularity at home and abroad, such as is seldom allotted the heads of governments, when, lo! to the world's astonishment, a Giteau rushes on the scene, and the rest is known. Owing to the high tensioned times the natural con-commitants of a civil war the assassination of Lincoln was not entirely unexpected, or if unexpected was not the matter for such complete surprise as the two later events. Political ambition and its disappointments were urged as the actuating motives for the death of Garfield, a very flimsy reason for plunging the nation in grief and distress. The individual had to stand for the very grave crime of murder—a regicide, so to speak, which of necessity worked harm to the individual's own family and immediate circle of friends. When one's self esteem is carried to such a pitch it is no wonder that the question of sanity is mooted. For the death of President McKinley there is no reason assigned. He dies at the dictates of an order of assassins who have set themselves up as the high priests of all earth, caballing and plotting for the overthrow of its rulers because they fail to measure up to their fanatically conceived standards, signing away the lives of the earth's best as they would jostle puppets on a board. This world of governments, to their notion, must be fashioned according to their liking. The wisdom of ages, counts, but naught with them: it must be set aside to accommodate a whim, a caprice, a fancy Mr. McKinley was universally loved and respected; even those whom he opposed through the virtue of his office were made to feel that it was a reluctant opposition. The conduct of his administration has been so wise, yet so conservative, so full of humanity that the era in which we live was bidding fair to become the country's greatest in its tendency to wipe out sectional lines and differences. In his state papers he always called attention to the existing wrongs of his own country, disfranchisements, lynchings or what not. We speak advisedly here, for now and then in the past, he had been reminded of the outrages against Negroes, in a manner that would indicate that all was not being done that could be done; but these walls were few and far between, as is proven by that generous outburst of sympathy that has welled forth from the hearts of black men and women the country over. The death of President McKinley has called forth more expressions of profound sympathy and regrets than that of any THE FREL AN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE man of modern times. As before stated, the sympathy is universal. He grew rapidly in the estimation of the people from the time of his first inauguration, when his great Godlike qualities were not so well known. Time has served to fix him an enduring place in the hearts of the now sorrowing people. He demonstrated his great capacity, his matchless poise and humanenass, hence this outpouring of hearts. The President's death will justly call for the expulsion or suppression of societies formed for the purpose of striking down the heads of governments. Free speech, guaranteed by the constitution, must not be construed as license, the liberty to strike down the institution that makes the privilege possible. Let these discontents ply their vocation elsewhere. Our country is entirely too small for the introduction of their theories. They can erect governments to their own liking in other climes. The many millions here are far too content with their form of government to allow a handful of revolutionists to change it. The brood of anarchists and kindred institutions are a menace to civilized society. Society cannot afford to pay the cost. --- Theodore Roosevelt is now President of the United States. He needs no introduction to the American public. His conduct as a private citizen, as an office holder and as a soldier is well known. It establishes his fitness for the great office which has fallen to him. His speeches have shown the trend of his thoughts along political lines. These stand approved by the people who have never failed to accord him distinguished consideration wherever he has gone. Furthermore he has given it out that he intends to follow well the foot prints of the matchless McKinley as they concern the government's policies and political activities. Colonel Roosevelt, already greatly loved for his brilliancy and well tempered aggressiveness, is expected to perpetuate the popularity of the administration. He is of high capability and gives every promise of maintaining the status quo of the government in all of its recent undertakings and successfully conducting such new ones as may fall his lot as the incumbent of the presidential chair. "The Crime of Lynching," a sermon by Rev. Quincy Ewing of St. James Episcopal church, Greenville, Miss, in which he, a white gentleman, arraigns his race for the monstrous crime is a decided step towards heading off the evil. The reverend gentlemen spared no pains in dealing out the truth, dealing with plain facts in unvarnished terms. The effort is but the first of a movement on foot in the South to crush out the evil and to restore the South its fair name for chivalry, charity and high purposes. We can only insist, as usual, that the Negroes play their part well by ably seconding this effort and not allow these high purposed individuals to suffer discomfiture by any act they may tend to reverse the tide. The Negroes will do well to follow up the advantage of the sentiment against lawlessness which means very much to them. The white man has traditions along certain lines. There is no necessity of an invasion on the part of Negroes no matter about the rigidity of the unwritten laws. The execution of the laws can be better demanded when the laws are better respected. We will not justify criminal excesses by holding up the crimes of white men. We will emulate their virtues but discard their vices. The white man is not on trial. The Americans have learned to associate the old English idea of succession in government with their own. The king cannot die is the theory. There can come no interruption of government, no interregnum; the moment the ruler dies there is "created" a new one. Hence, "The king is dead; long live the king." The President in that general sense cannot die McKinley may succumb to an assassin's bullet or a dread disease, but the title is at once vested in some one else. It is now said that $50,000 is on the head of President Roosevelt. What next? Exentent—ye generation of vipers O 'Two Souls with but a Single Thought' Marked Tree, Ark., Sept 19 1901, Special—October 2 1901, at 7:30 p. m at Clark Memorial M E.

[Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. DR. S. L. MITCHAM THE G. A. R. AT CLEVELAND. Distress and misfortune truly makes the whole world akin. Unmistakable evidences of this was shown at the G. A R. demonstration at Cleveland last week. The Cleveland Plaindealer of the 12th inst. has given forth to the world utterances of men that are far more indicative of that brooding peace between the races than noted elsewhere within the last decade. We say brooding peace, trusting that subsequent events will fully justify the prophecy. When one reads what follows, who is it to say that the prophecy is unwarranted? Was it merely the rugged peaks of racial differences mellowed down by the great calamity and which is to be of temporary endurance only? Is it after all, this great national calamity, the hand of God felt in the passing of the purest gem of the political firmament, to teach the nations the law of mutual regard? Dismissing the idea of Providential intervention, yet the occasion has invoked a common sorrow that will tend to lessen racial woes, the result of the laws of sympathy. The following uttered amid the throes of a dying President will be construed as the result of the misfortune: Aged and bent colored veterans many from the center of the black belt of the south, relieved their pent up feelings with tears and shouts together with hundreds of their white comrades from nearly every state in the union last night at the Grays' armory. As the camp fire of the colored troops progressed the successive speakers seemed to be inpaired by some unseen power and many of the sentiments expressed will pass into history as the most remarkable of the entire encampment. Questions that politicians have been in the habit of discussing almost in whispers, fearful of stirring up intense feeling were handled by notable men last night with unguarded frankness. Gen. O. O. Howard, the idol of the colored civil war veterans, started a campaign against anarchy and lynch law with a ringing speech that he says he purposes to end in the halls of congress. "There are no black men and no white men here tonight," said the beloved general, "but this hall is filled with grand American citizens. "The bloody days of war are over, but new perils threaten the nation that must be strangled, and strangled at once" "Anarchy, the venomous spirit of hate and malice, is rearing its hissing head in this country. And with all my strength I wish to sink into your minds the fact that anarchy is treason. "It is now the duty of congress to pass certain laws that will go after treason with the force of a trip hammer. Laws must be enacted that will be carried out if every Anarchist that roams in our great cities has to bite the dust." "But I do propose to talk about the result of that war. When it was ended no longer did human slavery exist in this country. "And then the colored man acquired the same right to obtain property and to vote that I possessed. "But what I do want to say is that the A. E. MISS IDA MA I DOTSON movement to disfranchise the Negro already started in some of the states, is a burning outrage. You who have fought for the preservation of the union are not to be disfranchised by those who fought against it. "And I stand here to tell you that a great work is left for us to do and a terrible blot on our country's record must be wiped away. "And I am not ashamed of the record of Ohio in regard to the evil of lynch law. On the contrary I am proud that there has not been a lynching in Ohio for some years. But one attempt has been made and that at Akron. The attempt was frustrated happily for the honor of Ohio and over twenty five of those who attempted the great crime are now behind the penitentiary walls. "But the nation must be aroused and the honor of law and true Americanism held up for the benefit of all men in our grand commonwealth." Hon. C. W. Anderson of New york, to whom the colored citizens of the country are proud to refer, was then introduced. Instead of saying complimentary things about the war record of his race, he called upon them to rise to even greater perils that now surrounds them and to fight another battle for the opportunity of enjoying an equal chance in the race of life. As he told of the loyalty of the colored troops the veterans before him fairly shouted their approbation. And if the colored man cheered, his white brother joined with applause equally as loud. The enthusiasm of the audience over the burning address of Mr. Anderson had a remarkable effect upon many of the colored troops in the hall. These old soldiers had journeyed to Cleveland from the cotton fields of the far south, where such scenes as that enacted at Grays' armory last night are unheard of and practically impossible. They gazed about in open mouthed astonishment and then many of them gave way and wept like children. It is evident that the vicious and lawless must part company with the good and law abiding. Anarchy and lynching, so roundly denounced at Cleveland, are two wide spread evils, abominable institutions that have demonstrated their capabilities for mischief. The President and the whole country have felt the sting of one, the Negroes have long suffered at the hands of the mob. It is to be hoped that the determination to put eiter under foot will not be momentary or spasmodic, but rather that it will be as deep and determined as the love now evinced for the dead chieftain, whose loss we all mourn. The National Baptist Convention, which was held in Cincinnati last week, was in all respects a representative affair. Many of the ablest men of the country were in attendance, lending their aid and influence in shaping the policies of the great Baptist church. The white press of the country was very generously disposed towards the assembly and its doings The expressions of love on the part of Negroes, called forth by the death of President McKinley, breathed patriotism in that intense sense, as it should be. The love of country and regard for rightfully constituted authority are the highest civic virtues. The Republicans of Indianapolis have put an excellent ticket in the field from Charles A. Bookwalter for mayor down. The colored voter will take great pleasure in supporting it as will the majority of voters of the city. The Baptists, in convention at Cincinnati, passed appropriate resolutions expressive of their regret owing to the assassination of the president.

Industrial Work Among Colored People in the M, E. Church In 1867 the Western Christian Asso- ciation with Dr. J. M. Walden (now bishop) as secretary, the work of indus- trial training had already been begun, and at that date when this association was merged into the Freedmen’s Aid Society immediate ateps were taken to enlarge its scope. It will thus be seen that long béfore Hampton College, from which Booker Washington graduated, was in existence, and many years be- fore Tuskegee was born, the M. E church was teaching our boys to use the hammer, the plane and thesaw. Thi: work has constantly grown and con tinually enlarged until today, taking f ZA. \y a ! + l | (~~ = \ = \ AS LVR Ye REY, W.

While we have not emphasized industrial education to the exclusion of the regular academic work, and that, too, rightly and reason- ably. yet itis unfortunate, to say the least, that many of our ministers and members are not acquainted with the scope, strength, and variety of our in- dustrial work, and there have been instances Where philanthropists within the church, who have had special inter- est in this line of education, bavesought ont other fields for the investment of their money, not knowing the character and extent of our own. Secretary Mason {is at present preparing several tracts on our industrial work which it is hoped will be the means of helping to supply this needed information. ‘Tho male students in manual training and trade schools among the colored people numbered 1,088, increase of $71 over the previous year, and were dis tributed as follows: Shoemaking, 17 baking, 85; tinning, 4; paiuting 54; ag riculture, 51; blacksmithing, 140; ma sonry, 175; laundry, 98; machine-shop 108; printing, 108; carpentry, 258.

Cox, John Seys, Francis Burns, Sophronia Farrington, Ann Wilkins and others to the pres- ent—a period of nearly seventy years —that little republic on the west coast of Africa, has not ceased to claim the attention and sympathy and help of the chureh. Within recent years, Liberia has been brought closer to our hearts, be- cause of those who have gone there from our midst. Bishop Hartzell has already appointed to Liberia sixteen men and women who received their training and education in the schools of our own Freedman’s Aid Society. Thus the black man is learning the hard lessons of sacrifice and service for others in distant and difficult places, and is very successfully dem- onstrating that great fact. Dr. and Mrs. Camphor, the first reg- ularly appointed colored missionaries to Africa—and the first of the sixteen to accompany Bishob Hartzell when he sailed in 1896—having been granted a furlough by the Mission Board, are now here in the interest of their work. ‘The story of the Liberia mission and ; *BE NOT DECEIVED® —— | ® TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. | .

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and NS hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that man, N\ of these are frauds ‘pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, {\\ honest statement to the colored race through this great Paper. "In AN si,0" your 1871 our late secretary, Mrs, 8. M, Moore, thtough & fertanaro AN circimstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and “x met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of fW\ that time it was pronounced an, honest, legitimate remedy, trae to all that, \\ 2s claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every “AN member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow AN tong and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always @ “A number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other AWN people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are a Worthless, Causing the hair to fall out and doing great ‘damage to the hair AN soc scalp, and the colored people are buring these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair moreharm than good. ‘To AS these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair.

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we abso- Ay \vtely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, AN if they were not trae to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one Ay Who has used Ozono has been satistied in every respect.

Dr. Camphor is making a vigorous canvass for funds to strengthen and increase the efficiency of the College of West Africa, our leading school in Liberia. The work is in special need of $15,000 as an endowment for schol- arships and to build a much needed school edifice in Monrovia. This amount ought to be given for so laud- able a cause. Let us give and give cheerfully, and all Africa shall be made to rejoice through this center:of Chris- tian learning which we, by our means, have strengthened and helped.—S. W. Advocate. Billy Bray, the saintly Cornish miner, was once asked, while he sat at a friend’s table: “How long should I pray at a time to keep my soul healthy?” “Do'e see that there piece of brass?” he replied, pointed to a polished orna- ment on the chimney-piece. “If you give that five minutes’ rub every now and then, you'll keep ‘im bright; but if you let ‘im go a long time without it, you will have a long rub to get ‘im bright again.” It is the habit of sincere prayer that keeps the soul in fellowship with Christ, and shining with the reflec- tion of his glory.
