NUMBER 37 NAPIER IS FOR TAFT IS MAKING A FIGHT IN TENNESSEE FOR THE PRESIDENT. Any Negro Casting his Ballot for the Bull Moose Candidate is Endorsing the Disfranchising Laws and "Jim Crow" Cars of the Southern States. By D. Wellington Berry. HON. J. C. NAPIER. he having come to Nashville to look after business matters in connection with the settlement of the estate of the late Dr. Good, being one of the executives named by the deceased physician's will still, when he died, the situation was one seriously threatening the administration among the colored man at the once 'cast his hat into the rain' with the result that he left Tennessee after the re-election of Taft and Governor Hooper. At Centrelink, Taft and Governor Hooper were threatening, thousands of colored people turned out to hear him speak. He is accompanied there by Hayes E Cole, a accompanied there by Hayes E Cole, a young Negro orator of Nashville and a longtime Berry, a colored correspondent of Nashville daily, and who is an expert stenographer. The speech of Mr. Napier, in part, at this place follows. "Not since the organization of this government has any administration ever come to a quadrilateral election with a record, a better report of the benefits afforded to the people and promises kept than that of President Taft. His administration comes through a turbulent and warlike environment of American and European continents and we find our country, through his wise involvement in no foreign complications and complete peace both at home and abroad, in the interests of the country were never a positive condition than they are the today. Our classes of our people never had better opportunities for continuous and profitable employment than they have at this time. The employment that they have at the country has never realized better prices than he finds now on every hand. There is a reader market for his products that he finds now on every hand. There is prosperity, more happiness and greater contentment among the people than ever before." has been allayed until we now have reason to expect that the door of hope will swing wide open and the day of opportunity will soon come to all classes alike. We should not forget that we should consider these things quietly, calmly and without bias, I believe that a large majority of them will favor the re-election of President Taft in order that these conditions may be continued and repetition of them be avoided. Under Democratic administration avoided. "I cannot find words to condemn in too severe terms the unjust and unconstitutional attitude of Theodore. Roosevelt and his administration framed a vote for him or his party by any member of our race would be to place the seal of approval of the person cast as president, the grandfather clauses of disfranchisement and the laws that have been enacted against us. I take it that no intelligent colored man will be found in his ranks or among the number of Bull Mooseers when their roll is over. We will then will think that pledges his and the influence of his great office, if elected, to the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We will then will think of casting his vote for Woodrow Wilson for the reason that his party can show nothing but one continuous record of strenuous opposition and relentless warfare against the American education and elevation of every Negro. "When Benj. W. Hooper was nominated two years ago as a candidate for chief magistrate of this commonwealth, he promised that if elected that he would be appointed to the office of class or color, but of all the people of the state. He said that his administration would be a business one and not one for the politicians. He has kept his promise in letter to the governor, and he has worked government is in better condition, serving its purposes to a better, end than ever before. The finances and credit of the state are at a higher ebb than he found them. Every phase of our educational system is working in class, or on behalf of few children who have not access to the school room and the day is rapidly approaching when not one will be without its influence and advantages. The governor has not been able to neighborhood social center and every influence is being brought to bear to better and improve the home. Good roads movement has received the greatest impressions of no citizen being neglected by him. Whatever justice was to be administered or wrong righted, Governor Hooper has never been slow to act and when action was necessary he has never stopped to inquire whether those affected by the governor Hooper were suffering humanity in prisons or in chains has been as much the object of his care and solicitude as the wealthy and powerful who had a complaint to make to him. He has been a breaker of law and order, a friend to the peaceful and law abiding classes and a constant pusuer and a legitimate prosecutor of the lawless. He has promptly offered to help the victim whenever it was necessary for the apprehension of the criminal. He has done this wherever crime was committed regardless of the class or color of the victim upon whom the crime was committed. He has helped the victim whenever whiskey would be sold and no saloon doors would be open. "I believe that a large majority of the people of this state are satisfied with Governor Moore's administration will vote for him at the ensuing election who did not do so in 1910. All who voted for him ought to do so now, for, he has merited their renewed confidence. His course humane, so considerate that I do not believe there will be one vote against him. All this should guarantee the re-election Governor Hooper and secure to the state his wise and fearless guidance of our ship of state." The address of Hayes E. Cole, which he hears in behalf of both Governor Hooper and President Taft, stating that the latter has been true to his constituency and that "every vote cast this fall" will be particularly in the interest of women, children and the homes of Tennessee.

SAYS ELLIS RELATIVE TO NEGRO'S CONDITION IN THE SOUTH The Rights of the Northern Negro is Also in Danger—How the Initiative, Referendum and Recall Would Operate Against the Colored Brother. (By Phil H. Brown, Assistant in the Bureau of Publicity, Republican National Committee.) CHICAGO, III. Sept. 19.—To the careful an dooservative student of the issues of the Negro and the African in the northern Negro and the Negro who dwells in the border zone, just above and below the Mason's and Dixon's line have been referred to the real dangers that beset him. "Can Be No Worse." Those of our race who are steering their feeble craft in the wake and slough of the Roosevelt fleet "would-be party destroyers, affect an indifference to the city of New York, and citizenized brethren at the south. One of this element, notably Mr. George W. Ellis, who was chairman of the colored Roosevelt pre-convention national committee, and of one time secretary of the committee, would have dismisses the hopes of his distraught people at the south with the tart, amurful and almost inhuman expression that. It would be difficult to make the condition of the Negro of the South worse than it is. Northern Negro in Danger. In the same hypocritical "Confession of Faith," in which Mr. Roosevelt acknowledges as righteous the disfranchisement of African Americans, a political vagary designed for the Negro at the North. That vagary is called the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, and calls for the three stones with which Mr. Roosevelt and the Negro will wreck the windows in the northern Negro's political house. And Mr. Ellis, from his unenviable position as the one leading the blind, is unthinkingly helping get the stones to break his own windows. Does Mr. Ellis believe that Oklahoma is in need of the operation he initiated and Referendum? Does he deny that, guided by Theodore Roosevelt, these un-American measures were incorporated of the state of Ohio? Difference in Terms. There is only the difference of sectional terminology; it is disfranchisement in the South and the Initiative, Referendum and Recall in the North, but to the Near South, both mean one and the same thing. Theodore Roosevelt is seeking to befuddle the fog by running the menace of the Initiative in the North, the unthinkable Negroes of the North. With monarchal intolerance he rams it down the throats of his followers, saying to them: 'Take it; it will kill you, but the anyway.' This pernicious triumvirate is not a nostrum to the northern Negro, but a deadly poison and complicating a political attack who would crown his patients today and crucify them tomorrow, it means the extermination of the political rights of the Negro, and probably in the northern states and probably in the How the I.. R. and R. Operates. Under the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, all of the rights of the northern Negro would be settled in the voting booth. He would get more kisses on the face and stabs in the back than he could enumerate, and he would never be able to know who his assailant was. If his groceryman or his pretended friend in the police would be able to in the Jim Crow car, they would simply go to the voting booth and vote for it by applying the Initiative, and still sell him his groceries and claim his friendship, which would not be true. If the legislature should pass a law in favor of the Negro, the application of the Referendum would necessitate it being referred to the people before it would be allowed to vote. A false friend would go into the booth and annul it. If a judge handed down a decision favorable to the Negro, his enemies and pretended friends could apply to the booth and receive the decision, but recall the judge. All of this, my countrymen, in the dark, in the shadow of the voting booth, in the presence only, God and the conscience of his enemies. It does seem that in the polity of pernicious policies which Mr. Roosevelt is now trying to thrust upon us, that it means to him exactly what disfranchisement means to his brother in the People Like Mr. Knox's Interview— Personal Mentions.

TUSKEGGE INSTITUTE, TUSKE- GEE, Ala., September 17, 1912—What- ever her station in life, it is pretty certain that sooner or later the young woman will have something to do with things domestic. The few who do not are rare indeed. Taking this as a fact, not stopping to argue whether she’ will be a housewife, a school teacher, a community worker, or even a business woman, Tuskegee Institute has so shaped its course for women that both in a general way and in a particular trade the girl graduate goes forth ready to take her place in the world. The general work, all girls who pur- sue the regular course at Tuskegee must take. They must know how to clean and put a room in order, how to set and wait on a table, how to cook and serve a meal, and how to care for and handle young children. Whatever their particular trade, these branches they must study, both in theory and in practice. This work begins with their ‘own rooms, which must be kept tidy, at all times subject for inspection. They must attend cooking classes so many hours per week, where they take up the theory of cooking and then ac- tually cook, under the direction of several competent teachers. In these classes much stress is placed on cook- ing the ordinary dishes, so as to bring more delight into the homes of the common people. Along with this in- struction in setting the table, manag- ing the meal from the point of view of a hostess receives much attention. Then they go away to the students’ dining hall, thence to the teachers’ dining hall, where they are required to serve a certain amount of time put- ting their theories into actual prac- tice. A regular room is set apart for the child-tsudy work. Basinet, pillows, toys and all the material used in an ordinary nursey are placed at the dis- posal of the girls. ‘The teacher begins with the study of the child in its earli- est infancy, how to amuse, bathe, dress and care for the infant in the earliest stages. The Tuskegee hos- pital and the surrounding homes serve as laboratories for the students in these classes. They visit, observe and then do the work themselves. This course, however, is open to upper class girls only, and ‘not to those just be- ginning their course. With her general work and her aca- demic work the young women may choose one of several trades. Of course, young women may pursue the AOD A 5 Ady, ; R N Ve ’ Wh ¥ y -f ff Ie ba Wey hint | Bina eT eM MY Se Miss Los Angeles. study of poultry raising, dairying, fruit growing and the like, as many are now doing; but the trades open par- ticularly for- girls are plain sewing, dressmaking, ladies’ tailoring, milli- nery, cooking or domestic science, soap making, laundering, mattress making, barketry, broom making and nurse training. 5 Im all these trades a fair balance is struck between theory and practice. A young woman who works in the laun- ary, for example, does not simply learn to wash and iron. She learns the vari- ous chemicals used in washing, how to bleach, remove stains and the like. She learns how to handle all the up- to-date machinery in the laundry—the washer, the mangle, the evaporator, machines built especially for certain garments, for collars or for shirts. ‘Then she gains a business knowledge of the trade by handling and checking clothes as they come in, and again checking them and verifying them as they go out. When, therefore, she re- ceives her certificate she is not simply ready to go out and wash and iron, but to establish a laundry business with all the modern equipment, as far as her capital and patronage will per- mit. So, too, it is again, to choose one more example, with the young woman who makes a specialty of cooking or domestic science. During her course she cooks and serves meals. She has her classes in the theory and in direct- ing a meal, and then in her chemistry class she makes a specialty of the chemistry of cooking. Probably no call now is louder than ‘that for women trained in one or more of these branches of industry. Year by year more public schools and pri- vate schools as well are putting the teaching of these trades in their cur- ricula. They need teachers.

Perkins, J. F. Wilde, Dr. H. L. Hum- Kansas, Missouri and many other States come annually more demands for such teachers than Tuskegee can fill; and thessalaries are good. ‘As with the boys, the young woman is given opportunity to use any special talent she has to aid her through school. If she wants to wait on table to pay part of her board, such a chance is open to her. If she sings, she is paid for her services in the choir. If she plays, various opportunities will be given her to use her talent in this direction. ‘On the other hand, if she wishes to pursue courses in music, these with a slight extra charge are open to her. Regular lessons are given in both piano and voice, and any student who proves at all fit is given countless opportuni- ties to appear in public. Class exer. cises, rhetoricals, public debate, and the special gatherings between the boys and girls afford ample sway for all those who have talent and wish to develop confidence. Most important of all, in all the work, whether theoretical or practical, the young woman's physical education is not lost sight of. Just as it is be lieved that no woman is really edu- cated without some knowledge of do- mestic life, so it is felt that no girl is ready to go out into the world without a well-trained, graceful body. Hence a regular course in gymnastics is scheduled for all girls. If the young woman attends day school she has so many hours per week for gymnastic work. If she goes to night school, she has her gymnast before these classes begin. In all cases, when the weather permits, the classes are held out of doors, the idea being to bring good health and strong bodies rather than to teach the rather fancy indoor gym- nastics. Dumb bell drills, wand drills, exercises in running, basket ball play- ing and marches lend variety through- out the course. These exercises are for all girls, but in later years the placing of Negro schools in the hands of Negroes has given rise to the young woman gym- nastic teacher. In many of the larger Negro city schools, and more espe- cially in Negro private schools and colleges, the Negro girl who can teach gymnastics is eagerly sought. Tus- Kegee offers a special course to those who are planning to do this work, un- der an instructor from Sargent’s Gym- siatatn: MERIDIAN, MISS.

SATURDAY, SEPT 21, 1912. Getting to be the days when potatoes and coal have an equal engaging appearance. Brother Hunter would put one over on the Indiana A. M. E. Conference. But the brethren spiked his guns. The weather has been simply incorrigible—most contrary. It has been just like ragtime—the stress in the unusual places. George L. Knox and Gurley Brewer will speak in Terre Haute, Ind., September 21, at the Emancipation Celebration held in that city. Bishop Lennox, of the Zion African Evangelical Church, has designed his Negro flag, says one of our exchanges. We repudiate it instanter. Mr. Beveridge's letter is most pathetic and a bit belligerent also. When he reached the "I demand" stage he was about ninety-six in the shade. The News calmly acquiesced, assuring the Bull Moose prince that there was a useless waste of heat. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, has been in his home State, Tennessee, for the past two weeks. He found it convenient to get in some good work for Mr. Taft. In his speeches he showed the inconsistency of Mr. Roosevelt's attitude in trying to straddle the race question. Mr. Napier said that a vote for the chief Bull Mooser would be an endorsement of the existing political and civil conditions in the South. He made many points which the colored voter will be unusually headstrong if he does not heed. Mr. J. H. Washington, General Superintendent of Industries at Tuskegee, claims to have raised the banner watermelon of the year, and without the assistance of any of the fertilizers. It was of fine proportions, elongated, weight seventy-two pounds. Mr. Washington says that the seeds will be furnished any one on application as long as they last. We rather suspect that when The Freeman spreads the news among its thousands of subscribers, scattered, as they are, everywhere, Brother Washington's prize melon seeds will be cleaned up in a jiffy. The Indiana Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Kokomo, Ind., last week, refused to commit itself for Theodore Roosevelt, candidate for President on the Bull Moose ticket. Rev. Charles Hunter, presiding elder, who was one of the Committee on the State of the Country, engineered the Roosevelt boletet, which was punctured later on. This puncturing was due mainly to Rev. T. A. Smythe. The Conference put itself on record as having no sympathy with the third-term movement through resolutions introduced by Rev. Smythe and seconded by Rev. W. H. Giles. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. "Trust me for it," says Mr. Beveridge, Bull Moose candidate for Governor of the State of Indiana, "when I say that I am going to be known as the fighting Governor of Indiana, if the people of the State elect me to the office." Such a belligerent spirit! We dare say that if Mr. Beveridge would point out the necessary reforms his suggestions would be cheerfully complied with. The people of Indiana are surprised to know that the State is in a bad way. If the ex-Senator isn't careful he'll get the reputation of a calamity shrieker. But, of course, he has to say something to make good his excuse for standing for the job. He, however, should be careful not to slander the State, even if in doing so he became twice Governor. New Orleans will have a Negro daily in the near future, according to report. It will start out with a circulation of 5,0000, also according to report. We are none too serious about dailies of the kind, because so much is involved. The promoters will do well to thoroughly debate every step they will have to take in their efforts to bring about success. A venture of the kind, we think, will succeed some day. It may be the day now. Special daily race journals are maintained in many cities, and for the most part out of necessity, one may say, serving as guides for foreigners who have not become acquainted with the ins and outs of this country. Negro weekly journals have served, are serving a similar purpose. The daily has also been attempted, but for good reasons has not succeeded. Conditions have considerably improved within the last few years. While this does not argue the success of such a venture, it says that --- the chances of success are much better. We hope the project will discover a winning gait and stick to it. Say what you please about Colonel Roosevelt, but he still occupies the front page, top of column, and next to pure reading matter. If you do not think he is in the spot light, just turn it on, and you will find him standing there, right in the middle of it. It is mighty hard to keep a good man down.—The Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md. Oh, yes, he occupies the spot light, and so much worse for the Colonel, because it's of his own ingenuity. It's not much of a trick to become an agitator even by lesser men than ex-Presidents. There are multiplied thousands who feel that they are being sat on in the race of life. Any sound that voices their woes is welcome enough, especially if a remedy is proposed. Doubtless there are wrongs in the world that should be righted. This fact is seized as a cue, and Roosevelt et al., who have axes to grind, give it out that they are the political saviours, when in fact it's merely a play for place. Yes, it is true that the Colonel occupies the front of the stage, and a pity 'tis true. COLORED MAN FOR THE LEGISLA TURE. Yes, the Bull Moose party nominated a young colored man for the Legislature of Indiana at its sitting in this city a few days ago. He's a nice young man and all that, so far as we know. He came to town a few years ago and hung out his shingle as an attorney. Apparently he has been making it fairly well, all things considered. His haste to get with the Bull Moosers is indicative of opportunity—to be nominated, hence be somebody—rather than downright conviction of efficiency in the new party. Mr. Brokenburr, the young man referred to, will not be any more condemned for his opportunism than white men, there being "oodles" of the latter class. This, however, he should not lay too great a claim on race support, in view of the kind of nomination and what it means. It will be borne in mind that the nomination is meant to influence votes nationally for Theodore Roosevelt. He is the great objective. It will be borne in mind that Mr. Roosevelt, in his characteristic boldness, has declared his intent on the Negro situation. He was honest; too honest for the Negroes' political good. He said that the Negroes of the South must come up politically through white men. While this may be a political practice that will linger long, owing to conditions of which all know, it's no theory to be uttered by men who hope to help shape the destiny of the nation. As much as such is a condition—the patronizing proposition—it, nevertheless, assails the letter of the general laws, and assails the spirit in which they were conceived. Mr. Roosevelt is as ruthless here as when he disregards the third term tradition, the safety valve of the nation, saving against presidential perpetuity—merely another name for Caesarsism. In short, Mr. Roosevelt is a law-breaker, violating both the unwritten laws, the unwritten covenants of our greater Presidents, and the written laws, the safeguards of our liberties. And yet there are those who would condone his political infractions because of some sentiment, and which he himself contributed most in creating. There are more or less opposing forces in the world, in whatever domain—religion, morals, politics. It is the place of those who would "battle for the Lord at Armageddon" to do as they say, and not steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. "They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three." The colored voters will bear in mind that they cannot endure half slave and half free, politically, any more than the country could endure half slave and half free, civilly. There must follow one of the two things: total freedom or a wholly slave condition. In time there will be the same voting conditions for every man, or there will be no laws for Negroes that a white man is bound to respect. The forthcoming election will test the political sense of the Negro. Will he erect to power an individual who has given it out that the Negro is rejected in the very foundation of the building, trusting that there is some hidden sense or saving clause in his declaration that will work out for the best? Roosevelt no Sir Oracle when he promises that all would end well, and if he were, he would be none the better for those evasive "institutions," oracles, lost their standing for veracity pretty much as the Colonel is losing his. The individual to vote for is the one who comes clean. When voting for the Bull Moose party, or any part of it, it is voting to endorse the principles of the individual that brought it about. Mr. Brokenburr doubtless is of some ability. He seems bright and intelligent enough. But for the good of the race he is hooked up with the wrong crowd. DEATH OF MRS. JOSEPHINE SI LOME YATES. Among those who died recently was Mrs. Josephine Silome Yates, who, for years, was a teacher in Lincoln Institute, at Jefferson City, Mo. Mrs. Yates was highly regarded throughout the country by educators and by women identified with the club movement which made itself so generally manifest about ten or twelve years ago. She was especially concerned in this movement for the betterment of colored women, and for the betterment of the race generally, which was the sense of the organizations. Mrs. Yates was a woman of large scope, comparing favorably with a class of white women whose names are more or less known owing to their ability and for their activity in behalf of womankind. Some dozen years ago she contributed much to race publications. The Freeman was her preference, and of course, owing to its wide circulation. Her style was vigorous, displayed in her manuscript and in her expressions. Being a teacher of THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. English, she was direct, to the point, a fact which added to her reputation as an intellectual woman. By the way, it can well be added that it has finally become "unfashionable" for colored women to appear in the papers with strong, sensibly expressed articles, as was the custom a few years ago. It can not be said that education is wanting, but it might be said that the special kind of education is wanting. At any rate, our women contributors are gone. The male writers, like the poor, we have always with us, consequently the women are not missed if we have quantity in mind. Perhaps the age does not demand what it demanded some years ago. The white women are not so active, proving that there was also an element of fad in it all. However, these days are not radically different to those of the recent past. If the white women have slowed down in their general club work and in the newspaper contributions along club lines they are no less in evidence. The magazine is an open door and their name is legions. The colored women have no such opportunity, to express it charitably, or shall we be uncharitable and say that they cannot successfully compete, hence have no field of outlet for their views and sentiments? We feel to charge the condition the same old carry-all, the race condition. Colored women are not expected. It looks as if the mantle of Josephine Yates is interred with her. It may be due to indifference or even studied neglect. But we have this to say, and right along with the Bible, that the light is not to be hid under a bushel. Let your light shine that men may see your good works, and be constrained to follow, is not too far fetched an injunction. We need bright women as well as bright men, women who are not just satisfied at being bright enough to hold a job as the tendency is today. Life will not be known wholly of books, consequently if the faith is so pinned it will be found at the general accounting of racial progress in the future that we have but little accumulation in fee simple. If we have nothing to contribute to civilization we will be merely cumbers of the ground, without initiative spirit—consumers, producing nothing. Tracts, treatises, novellettes, novels, essays, poems are among the things that should be proceeding from the race as ceaselessly as the glacial flow, owing to the fullness thereof. A few women of Mrs. Mrs. Yates' ability are yet among us, and who were contemporaries with her. The new people are not playing their part, either having succumbed to a racial trait? of mental indolence or they have been swallowed up in indifference. Perhaps it is conceit. We deplore the loss of the woman who had such a large share in the colored women's work of racial uplift. We would not like to say that her likes will not be seen again, since it would be a surrender to discouragement and which should not be. EVANSVILLE, IND. (By Benita Morrow, 411 Olive St.) Mr. J. R.

Clinton High School Teachers Poorest Paid in the State—Prof. Mayo's Machine Dominating for Himself Only—K. N. I. I. Applicants to Be Considered the Next Board Meeting—S. D. Henry Honored in the Athletic Field—State Normal Literary Society. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Pharmacy, Both Phones 666, Box 23.) Frankfort Ky Special The Clinton Street high school is located on the side of a railroad track in the West End and the teachers room is on the opposite side. In high schools of the state, Last Sunday morn- ing Rev. W. T. Silvey, rector of the First Baptist church, made mention of the fact last Sunday that there were four white schools in the city and a four in building where the teachers could hardly hear a class without stopping to let a switch train pass. He also said that it was only through the providence of God that that teacher would be going to and from this building. General W. W. Wilson arose and recommended that the people as taxpayers should see that their children go to school and give their children the best teacher the teachers and also ask for another school. This situation seems to be arousing the entire population to think for themselves and the people are beginning to take care of their best teacher, regardless of who is to blame, even if it comes to outstaging some one. The investigating is out for the peoples' interest and not for personal welfare. In another issue, Prof. Wm. H. Mayo is principal of this school. --- Your correspondent, after an investigation of the office of the superintendent of public instruction, was given the following list of names of men who will be considered as president of the State Department: President E. E. Reed had such a successful opening and for which he has been complimented by the people. The names are: Prot. T. Amigier and J. W. Wasserman, Louisville; J. M. Russell, of Richmond; M. S. Russell, of Lexington; F. S. Buford, of Frankfort; W. S. Buckman and I. Fisher of Danville; William H. Waltman of Norma, Ala.; William of Columbus, Tenn.; W. Beaver of Alabama; C. F. Simpson, of Lawrenceville, Va.; P. F. Trigy of Lynchburg, Va.; J. H. Ganby ofginia; I. Fisher, of Alabama, I. Shlittle Rock, of Alabama; J. H. Daney, Little Rock, of Alabama; J. H. Jackson, Lexington, Ky. There will be one of the above named elected as president of the Normal Institute, and these men will be considered as president of perhaps nearly all the applications which were presented.

Regards to friends. ROYAL THEATER, ASBURY PARK N. J. Though the season closed at the resort on Labor Day, "the cosiest playhouse on the Jersey coast" has played to capacity business this week, the attraction being Oreste Torris, the Italian Samson, in feats of strength, and Pauline Wickes, that popular singing celebrity, featuring "All Night Long" and "The College Rag." Miss Maude Baptiste, of New York City, went fairly well, but not up to the standard of her reputation, knowing how she was featured with Joe Moore's Minstrels at Huler's Museum, New York City.

McCamon, in Paris, Tex., resting and slowly recuperating from an attack of malarial fever. Mr. Worlds Davis, comedian and wench impersonator, is scoring nightly, singing "You'll Never Know the Good Fellow I've Been Till I Am Gone Away." Mr. J. B. Norton, the old reliable stage manager, who rejoined recently, is scoring nightly, singing "It Was Me." Verdum and Earl are still doing nicely in their act, "Wildcatting." Mr. Mose McQuilty, our bass player, has just received a new $160 monster E flat bass, direct from the factory of York & Sons. It certainly is a beauty, and Mr. McQuilty proceeds daily to jar the ground and windows. Messrs. Wm. Fisher and Ellwood Johnson, baritone and cornet, respectively, will rejoin September 16, and Fess McCamon is blandly smiling because he is chief musician with the very strongest band now on the road. Mr. Wm. (King) Phillips, the man who "knows," who has been slowly recovering from a severe illness for the last five months, in Savannah, Ga., is expected back with the show in two weeks, thus giving us four reeds. Some band—that's all. Mr. Robert H. Gant sends regards to Miss Siberia King and Jas. Wolf-scales. Mr. Marcus Veale, clarinet and violin, sends regards to Mr. and Mrs. Grant Cooper.

The consensus of opinion is that the Southern Smith Set Company has the best show this season that a Smart Set company has had for several years. Everywhere the show is spoken of in the highest terms. Managers, stage hands and critics are generous in their expressions of approval. The principals are well fitted to their parts, the chorus is of unusual strength, and the music is original, melodious and catchy. "His Honor, the Mayor" seems to comply with the every requisite for a complete evening's entertainment. The Lexington Herald has this to say of the show: "The Smart Set Company puts up a good show. 'The Darktown Politician' played to two good houses Saturday matinee and night. The cast is composed of Negro talent entirely, and in addition to having a well-dressed show, has a number of singers and dancers of unusual merit, while Salem Tutt Whitney, Mayor of Darktown, is a comedian of no mean caliber. The jubilee scene in the second act, introducing a medley of plantation songs and dances, was a real treat. It not only pleased the Negroes in the balcony and gallery, but was exceedingly entertaining as well to the white people in the audience. "J. Homer Tutt has never dressed or acted his part better than this present season. His new song, 'Neat Ned, Nuff Sed,' bids fair to outrival the famous 'Bon Buddy' song. "Graceful, magnetic, petite Miss Blanche Thompson wins favor with the audience upon her first appearance. The enthusiasm her work awakens never abates from rise until the fall of the curtain. Her two songs, 'Tell Me, Rose' and 'I Could Learn to Love a Boy Like You,' are artistically rendered and well received. "Miss Nettie Taylor makes a dashing school teacher. Her love making with the Mayor elicits roars of laughter. Her singing in the conversation song, 'You, Babe, Only You,' with Mr. Whitney, helps to make it the song hit of the show. "Miss Marie Wayne, enacts the role of suffragette with effectiveness and becoming dignity. Miss Wayne is also a violinist of ability. "Miss Ethel Marshall portrays the beautiful character of Pocahontas, the Indian princess. Her singing and acting quickly wins the sympathy of the audience. "Miss Edmonia Lewis possesses a soprano voice of unusual range and sweetness. Her singing adds greatly to the strength of the chorus. "Alice Russel, Hattle Akers, Cleo Mitchell, Virginia Wheeler and Grace Kneff are seen and heard in the chorus and small parts in the show. They are all experienced workers and worthy of special mention. "Although a cultivated and talented singer, Mr. Russell Smith had never attempted an impersonation. His good work as Pedro Manuel, the halfbreed Mexican, is a pleasant surprise to his friends and admirers, and is one of the most effective impersonations in the show. "Mr. Leigh Whipper, a comedian and character artist of repute, is all that could be desired as Major Jinks, the civil war relic. His comedy is not overdone and is highly appreciated by the audience. "Mr. Frank Jackson, as Eagle Eye, the Indian chief, wins rounds of applause in the duel scene with J. Homer Tutt. "Mr. Al Strauders, acting as Eph Snow, stamps him one of the best delineators of Negro characters before the footlights. "Eddie Stafford, formerly of Gordon and Stafford, wins encores nightly with his eccentric dancing. Charley Olden is also a singer and dancer of merit. "Babe Townsend is without doubt the best chorus basso now traveling. His rich, deep voice is heard above the chorus in every number. He also does some good character parts with the show. "R. C. Puggley, baritone, and Sam Gray, basso, do creditable work. Mr. Wilson Kyer, a pianist of exceptional ability, handles the music of the show and directs the chorus with ease and ability. Mr. Lawrence Williams adds to the effectiveness of the music with good work upon the traps and drums." "Mr. Corwell, the genial manager, wears a happy smile. He feels that managing a good show is a pleasant occupation." SUNNY DIXIE MINSTRELS, EN ROUTE. Sunny Dixie Minstrels have left the Carolinas and are now touring northern Georgia and Tennessee. Everybody is well and happy, with the exception of one of our clarinet players, Arthur Cox, who had a slight touch of malaria. After spending a week in the Dr. Good private sanatorium at Chester, S. C., he joins the show again THE FREEMAN. AN LUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. at Rockmart, Ga. Our female section now consists of Miss Doshie Styles, Miss Viola McCoy, Miss Rosa Ives and Miss Willie Venable. Happy Dudley loft the show unexpectedly and without notice at Greenwood, S. C., and was ably replaced by Mr. Fred Allen, who handles the end much better than Dudley. Frank Keith is also a new addition to our comedian circle. James Garrett, our champion buck and舞er, has anything beat that ever walked in shoe leather. Frank Perrryman, our band leader, received a new $125 tenor saxaphone, and his solos during our street concerts are the talk of the town. Dick Brown, our stage manager, is producing new stuff all the time, and has the bunch busy trying to keep up with him. We now have a 75-foot round top, with three 20-foot middle pieces, and the ushers are kept busy every night trying to seat the crowds. At Asheville and Hendersonville, N. C., we had to turn away business, and Sallsbury was great, being our second engagement there in two months. Our private car, Dana No. 7, received a new pair of steel wheels from the Southern shops at Spencer. Blackey Cohn, our commissary agent, keeps pushing the beef, pork and chicken to the bunch. William Bryant, our genial baritone player, had a sad accident last week, when his wife sprung three large willow plumes on him. The elephant stepped on his bank roll. Our little mascot, Miss Dana Frances Thompson, has been down with malaria fever, but is now up and spreading jov around the car as usual. Doc Zeiger, who was our candy butcher this spring, left after getting on the nut about $100, and after Mr. Thompson had bought him a new suit of clothes he stole $40 of Mr. Thompson's money and ran away. Such people as this are what hurt the show business. All send regards to the profession, not forgetting Willie Timmons' bunch. Willie Moore was a visitor to the show at Rock Hill, S. C., August 19. J. C. O'Brien, of O'Brien's Georgia Minstrels, was a welcome visitor to the show at Salisbury, August 17. NOTES FROM PROF. JOHN EASON'S BAND And Minstrels, with Yankee Robinson's Annex Band. We are with a show that never misses a pay day. The ghost walks every Saturday night. The show will soon be in Oklahoma. Everybody is well and doing nicely. The minstrel show has been strengthened by Master Alonzo Burnett, who joined us at Versailles, Mo., September 4. He is some danger and singer, scoring a hit daily. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson are still with the show and are doing good. HENRY PAYNE The Minstrel Man. INTEREST IN BOXING GAME RE VIVING. (By W. E. Middleton, Hattiesburg, Mississipp. Interest is being revived in the boxing game in this State. The bouts are limited to ten rounds, no knockouts are allowed, and so long as promoted and acted "on the square" with the public, we think the game, will flourish. Public sentiment was so bitterly against boxing since the days of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight at Richburg, Miss., until no one dared to stage a boxing contest for fear of being haled into a court on a charge of promoting prize fights. Young Sarpy and Congo Kid fought nine rounds of fast milling at River View Park, Monday night, September 9. The bout was scheduled for ten rounds, but Congo quit at the end of the ninth round on account of a broken hand, and the referee decided the contest a draw. Both men claim the welterweight championship of the South. Each has a decision over the other to his credit. In the preliminary Jimmy Farmer had the better of Kid Pooly in a six-round go. Mr. H. G. Levette, manager of River View Park, advises lovers of clean, healthy sport to visit his open air arena. THE FREEMAN IN DURHAM, N. C.

The pair formed a partner- ship at the outset of Palzer’s career, and the pugilist has been trying to juve the arrangement nullified by the fourts,.

This was the xord given out here to-day by W. C. Kelley, agent for Hughie McIntosh, the Australian promoter. Kelley is en route to Chicago to see the black cham pion. The purse Kelley said would be split in three parts, each portion to be aid for one fight. MeIntosh, he said, planned to match Johnson with Lang ford, MeVey and Joe Jeannette, CHICAGO.—Jack Johnson wept as he denied he ever had been brutal to his white wife, Etta Johnson, who killed herself by shooting. Johnson was testifying at a coroner's inquest. ‘The champion is through with the fight game for all and good, he said at the nquest. He said he never will fight again, “My wife was prostrated by overwork—working over me when I ‘was in the mood that she was in when she killed herself,” said the black prize fighter. “If it had not been for Eita I would have killed myself by leaping from a window of a hotel in Portland, Maine, @ year ago. My. wife stayed up nights nursing me. As a result she became a nervous wreck. ‘There is no telling what T shall do now, I may kill myself. There never was a better wife. I never expect to marry a woman like Etta. All talk of family trouble is false. A few days ago I bought her a diamond ring and a sealskin coat, I may appear dry- eyed now, but this morning I could not eat for weeping for my old pal, Btta.”” MRS. JACK JOHNSON DEAD. From a Pistol Shot by her Own Hand —The Champion Offers Explana- tion—Some Uncomplimentary Comment. (By Billy Lewis.) Perhaps it is generally known by this time that death invaded the home of Champion Jack Johnson last week, taking his wife, Etta Duryea Johnson. As it is understood, the case was one of self-destruction. Johnson stoutly maintains that his wife was practically nervous wreck, owing to over-exer- ‘ion in caring for him after his fight Reno, She died Thursday, Septem- ter 19, at her home in Chicago.

He declared that his wife's efforts to keep him from committing suicide were what broke down her own health. || He said: “I believe that I incurred brain fever or some similar derangement from the exertions of the Jeffries fight and the heat that prevailed at the time, I was not myself for a year, but the secret was closely kept between me and Mrs. | Johnson. ‘She saved me twice when I ‘| tried to choke myself to death, She '| seized me and struggled with me, and '| prevented the act. | “She had an awful time taking care |of me for over a year. I am only ,| telling this now in justice to my wife. || It never has been told before.” || Testifying as to his wife's suicidal mania, Johnson said: ‘| “During the last two years she often told me she was tired of living. She tried twice before to kill herself. Once )| she attempted to jump out of a win- -| dow in a London hotel, and before that .|she tried to take her life by leaping from a train out West. | T did everything I could to make -|her happy and spent money on her Hlavishly, but most of the time she |scemed ‘despondent.

He wiped his eyes and made audible manifesta- tions of grief before leaving in his touring car, together with his mother and sister, for the hospital. There he dismissed the nurses and was alone for a few minutes with the dying woman. Shortly after the nurses re- turned Mrs. Johnson died. Some Uncomplimentary Comment. ‘A newspaper, commenting on Mrs. Johnson's death, had as follows: “The first bitter fruits of the inter- racial marriage came when her friends in the East socially ostracized her. Then came another shock with full realization of the forebodings of her friends and family. After his ‘con- quest of the white race,’ Johnson built a palatial home in Wabash avenue and installed his wife and family there. The Negroes of Johnson's menage re- garded his wife as an outeast from the white race. They thought she was after the money.” It is not urged that her trying social situation had anything to do with her taking off. But in spite of that fact some think that the woman was grilled to desperation between the fire of the two races, And if she were a sensitive woman, educated and refined, as she appeared, in spite of her race philan- thropy there must have been moments when she prayed, “Let this cup pass from me.” Like 80 many of the well- todo of the white race, she had no way of knowing of the living death, socially, just across the line. She pos- sibly knew of some racial disadvan- tages; she concluded to be brave and to live cheerfully in spite of them. She did not know of the terrible sacrifice that would be hers to make. Johnson ‘was not philosopher enough to under- stand. The small hints and complaints that she must have made from time to time were lost on him, or else he would have fled with her to a lodge in some wilderness, free from the hurly- burly of racial agitation. When in Indianapolis she said she could not understand that there could be so much prejudice in the world. She would, if she could, she said, drop into a barrel of ink, to change her color so that the colored people would take to her, love her. But “they con- tinually refer to me as Johnson’s white wife.” She wanted to be one of them —one of us, but we turned her down as the white people turned her down, and for no better reasons. Should it be said that this woman was grief-strieken by heartlessness on the part of the Negro race, and should it prove to be true, it will be held ac- countable for it in some way. For as much as the white people deplored the marriage, she was yet white. In Memoriam. Whatever the world thinks of Mrs. Etta H. Johnson, it will not be said that she ever forgot that she was the wife of J. Arthur Johnson. If there were anything unbecoming her, she left it at the gateway of the race as she entered. If she had remorse of conscience, her bosom was her only confessional, her other self her priest and confidant. She stood by her dusky lord as Desdemona stood by Othello; came to her death through her service for him—nursing him to health and strength. What the future has in store for waiting, sacrificing, trusting hearts is not known. It is to be hoped that the goads of life will interrupt with the grave for those that have been loyal to every trust. Or, at least, it is to be hoped that for stich cases Dante has it right when he would have the unpre- pared righteously, shriven, and_pen- ance do, to make meet for the glories prepared for man from the foundation of the earth. ROSS FOULS ONCE TOO OFTEN; JEANNETTE WINS Badly Worsted Italian Employs Fou! Tactics in Seventh and Pays Penalty. NEW YORK.—deliberately fouling with blows below the belt, Tony Ross, the Italian heavyweight, was ordered out of the ring in the seventh round of his bout with Joe Jeannette in Madi- son Square Garden the other night. Ross was outclassed and outfought from the start. Jeannette landed fre- quently and with telling effect in every round until Ross knew that he had no chance to win. He couldn't quit, how- ever, so resorted to the meanest kind of tacties in order to bring the one- sided battle to a close before the limit was reached. Ross was slow and in comparatively proo condition. All he /had was a dangerous wallop, and when he found he could not land it on a vital spot he lost confidence’ and also all ideas of sportsmanship. ‘Tom MeMahon, the Pittsburg bear- cat, at short notice went on with Gun- /boat Smith, of California, in the sec- ond ten-round bout, which was chock full of hard hitting and sensational | incidents, George Kirkwood, of St. Louis, who is in line for a bout with Feather- weight Champion Kilbane, stopped Frankie Fleming, the Canadian. title- holder, in quick order, Fleming was on the floor, practically out, when the gong ended the first round, and the referee refused to allow further hos- tilities. When Jeannette and Ross appeared for the star bout the crowd received them uproariously. Jeanette weighed 195 pounds and Ross carried 207% pounds. Before the scrap began the fans had a chance to pay their re- spects to Peter Maher, Terry Mc- Govern, Philadelphia Jack O’Brien, and last, but not least, Robert Fitzsim- mons, who received an ovation. As soon as they toed the scratch for the first round Jeannette shot a quick left to the neck. Ross went in for in- fighting at once and reached the stom- ‘ach with a heavy right. Ross crouched ala Jeffries and tried a left swing that was blocked. Jeannette missed a left but got the right over to the ear. In a half clinch both landed short punches. Then Ross missed a heavy right for the jaw as Jeannette ducked and came up with quick lefthand facers. Jean- nette had the round on points. ‘They worked into a half clinch as the second round opened, but using free hands. Jeannette after the break whipped a left to the eye, Ross ham- mering the ribs. Jeannette came again with short hooks, Ross clinching. More shortarm work followed, Jean- nette having the better of it.’ Ross hit low, but did no harm. His nose was bleeding when he lige eee sat down, Jean 8 waded in to slug in the third round, and he put the Negro on the ropes. Jeannette blocked cleverly an¢ in a scrap at close quarters he did the cleaner hitting. Crouching low Ross suddenly jumped in with a dan gerous right on the side of the head, but he did not follow, and Jeannette hooked and jabbed him into a clinch. Jeannette missed a hard left and Ross rushed into another clinch. Jean nette’s round on points, with no great amount of damage done by either man. Jeannette met a rush in the fourth round with clean left handers. Ross let fly a terrific right that just misse¢ the point of the jaw. A heavy jolt in the mouth shook Ross, but he swung the right again and reached the ear. Jeannette used short hooks with effect and Ross soon clinched. Ross jarred the Negro with a right cross on the jaw, but promptly clinched when Jean. nette responded with more hooks in the body. Jeannette’s round. Jeannette forced it in the fifth round, driving lefts to the Italian's face, bul always keeping an eye open for a dan gerous swing. Ross took numerous jabs in the face, but whenever there was an opening he let go a tremendous swing. He missed one of these blows and Jeannette uppercut him for a clinch. Jeannette then poured in heavy blows with both hands and Ross welcomed the bell. Ross was tired and slow in the sixth round. He bored into a clinch, an¢ after the break Jeannette put in three long lefts to the stomach with a re turn. Ross hung on the rest of the way and received plenty of punish ment, but Jeannette could not put him down. Ross landed a wild punch in the groin just before time was up. Jeannette sailed in for all he was worth in the seventh round, and Rost hit him twice below the belt. The Italian was up against it, and was des perate. Again he landed a blow below the belt and was warned. As Jean nette increased his attack Ross, ap parently with deliberation, fouled his ‘opponent again, whereupon Referee Joh stopped the bout and ordered Ross out of the ring. Jeannette was in pain as he proceeded to his dressing room, Of course he was the winner. Kirkwood and Fleming were the first pair. On the scales at the ringside Kirkwood weighed 124 pounds, while the Canadian champion tipped the beam at 124%. They were trained tc the minute and began boxing at a fast clip as soon as the first round opened Korkwood forced it and quickly openec an old cut over Fleming’s left eye. 4 left hook on the jaw made the Can adian reel, and a right-hand uppereu' put him down for a count of nine. ‘When Fleming got up he stalled for a moment, blocking and clinching Kirkwood stood in close and _finall; whipped a stiff right to the chin tha knocked Fleming on his back. He rolled over in a semi-helpless condi tion as the referee started to count but the bell ending the round soundec before six had been tolled. The ref eree would not permit further proceed ings, and Kirkwood was the winner the crowd cheering him wildly. In the place of the Australian Dave Smith, who declined to go on for som« unknown reason, McMahon was pitte against Smith. ‘The Gunboat weighe 181 pounds, MeMahon scaling 187. Th first punch landed in the first rounc was a left uppercut by McMahon tha almost lifted the Californian off hi feet. Smith stood away and boxed a long range, McMahon crowding him t the ropes and driving in powerful body blows. Smith let fly a terrific righ that reached the jaw, but McMahor put in a fierce left on the mouth anc also made him cover up in a corner MeMahon received two lefts in th mouth, but kept on slugging the Gun boat to the bell, taking a hard round The next six rounds were full of har« battling, with honors about even. McMahon was puffing from his owt exertions when the ninth round start ed, and Smith went in to win deci sively if possible. He drove a lef into the stomach and MceMahor clinched. More body punches contin ued to lessen the bearcat’s vigor, bu he was still full of fight and rallied with some hot slugging. MeMaho1 then finished the round with a heav: assault, but Smith had the honors. The last round was a grilling affair ‘The men went at it hammer and tongs McMahon seemed to have renewe strength, for he tore in with som great smashes. Smith was battere into a corner and had to assume thi defensive. Then MeMahon tired, an¢ Smith finished strong. It was a cork ing scrap, and a draw would have beet la fair verdict, THE FREEMAN IN LOUISVILLE.
