JAMES The first and only wholesale dealer I have ever met among my people is Mr Charles H. James, whom I find to be one of the most estimable men. Ive had the pleasure of adding to my library a acquaintance, who has given with his father by selling almost everything they could buy on a small scale to the overseas people. His and his father would carry packs on their backs and walk miles all day in all kinds of weather. Finally they seized a wagon by which they could take their wares. For the last 14 years he has been in the business than any business for himself and by keen business insight, square dealing and progressive methods, he has built it up until now the volume of his business is equal any in Charleston of the kind. He carried all kinds of products and the dealers of other cities. In his equiped, and in his employ, is a few dozen about a dozen, and he also has this regular city salesmen, colored. He was born and reared in Biloxi county, 20 years ago. I found his reputation over the city to be one of the best among the citys of the best, among the ever seen. He and his family belong to the Baptist church, where he is one of the most active of the church leaders and a director of the Sunday school choir. He is thoroughly modern in his religious views as well as in his business. He has exhibited the courage of his convictions. At present he is having a large commodious office and warehouse erected in the basement of the church which will be much better for his business. His children are all doing well. One daughter is the wife of Dr. Christlow, a graduate of the high school and one son is a graduate of the high school and is doing fine in the business real estate business in New Zealand. JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL, UNDERTAKER. The leading Colored undertaker of Charleston is James Cubert Campbell. His business was established during the fall of 1812. Like many other efforts of this character among our people its beginning met with much opposition, and that peculiar prejudice too often existing to discourage and hamper our young men entering the business world. Campbell has fought these difficulties every inch of the way, until he has brought his business up to a most successful standard, and won the confidence of the people. Charleston is the city of his birth. He went to Shaw university and later studied at Howard university and graduated with a degree in parttime teaching. For 14 years he was connected with the federal service in Washington. It was during his time in Washington that he began his newspaper work and for a number of years was the Washington correspondent of a large number of our publications. He also helped of the leading influences in organizing the Washington News Syndicate, a newspaper for the Washington area, many years much of the Washington matter in Colored papers. His business methods are apace with the progress of this rapidly growing city. He is the finest owned by members of his profession within the state. It is perfectly equipped, every department representing the most advanced service in the state. JOHN J. HARE. Mr. Hare is the leading steamfitter among our people in this part of the state. He has been there 27 years, coming from Staunton, Va., where he was born. He was reared in Putnam county, W. Va., and therefore, had the advantages of public schools, being apt and industrious, and was able also to prepare himself in his trade under J. R. Shankling, now the president of the Plumbers' National Association. With this firm, now the West Virginia Plumbers Association, he spent 27 years, and by this firm he is regarded as one of their most professional members of the company as he recently kept him room to look after their out-of-town jobs. He has married two daughters and has two married daughters living in Columbus, Ohio. He is active in national circles beginning with the I. B. P. O. E. and also was for ten years a K. of P.

Mr. Nutter came from Maryland, his native state, to Charleston 13 years ago. During his first month he had charges of a very important case, in which he clearly demonstrated his great skill and knowledge, on the time servicing the state. SILAS HARDEN There is not the slightest doubt that the most successful business man of the Negroes of Charleston is Silas Harden, a young man, but 36. Only about 10 years ago he began his phenomenal career and his success has been almost incredible. A few years ago he began in a little corner as a bicycle repairer, and he attracted no particular notice among the people of his community. For four years he continued to work at this until he became expert at the trade and during all the time he continued to save his money, conserve his resources and make good use of his every opportunity, until he finally got about $300 together. With this he bought an au- tomobile which he used, not for show, but as a means of making more money. He would buy a car, self, using it as a transfer, night and day, cold or hot, rain or shine. No day was too cold or no season too hard, no condition too difficult for him to come up against, and it was indeed the rarest of occurrences. He had to problem that he did not successfully turn to his own advantage. He built an automobile that would run, and "honk". It may be seen now in his garage, not in everyday use, of course. He would when a boy he would make toys, remodel and readapt those his parm- PRES. BYRD PRILERMAN, A. M. W. V. C. I. Prof. Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, was born in Shadetown, Indiana county, October 12, 1859. After the close of the war, when eight years of age, he walked with his parents from Shadetown to the county, West Virginia, a distance of 250 miles. Here he grew up on a farm near Charleston, the capital of the state. At the time he was 12 years of age until 20, when he began to teach. In 1883 he entered Knoxville college, and graduated from the college course of this institution in 1889. In 1895 West-minister college of Pennsylvania conferred upon him the degree of M. A. When the West Virginia Collegiate sought in many large, difficult cases. He is one of the most famous of large corporations, among which may be mentioned the Peoples Exchange and the grand attorney for the Ephthians of West Virginia. He is one of the recognized orators of this state, and he is much in demand as a public speaker. He is one of the most homes that is found THE LONDON EDITOR in possession of our people in West Virginia.

All of those care are kept going night and day, driven by his one dozen or more chauffeurs, white and colored, his help, including office for record, making his weekly payroll over $250.

He must be nearly one with the privilege to check baggage on trains.

Institute opened in 1882 he was appointed one of the five teachers. He was appointed to the presidency September 23, 1899. Under his administration, the enrollment has increased to 639 in 1916. The course of study has been so modified and improved that graduates from the academic course are admired and framed with respect in the best part of the Kanawha valley, six miles west of Charleston on the right bank of the West Kanawha River.

The New York Colored Republicans have fallen out among themselves, according to the New York Age. The question seems to be as to the best method of proceeding to the pie counter. We thought New York was far advanced to be disturbed by such small things. E. Azalia Hackley and a big chorus of voices have been doing big work down in Asheville, N. C. Here is a list of some of the big white folk who heard the folk lore and other songs by the colored singers: Colonel Robert Bingham and family, Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt and Miss Cornelia Vanderbilt, Dr. Wheeler, president of the Mozart club, Miss Maude Cox and party, Miss Helen Juta, of London, Eng.; Mrs. Burdick, president of the Saturday Music club; Dr. Willian P. Hubbard, Mr. J. G. Stilekeather and party, Mr. P. Blackman, Mr. S. M. Haynes, Mrs. Anna Mercer and family, Dr. Dr. Thompson Frazer, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Lyman, and Dr. Colby." Sucha a line up of patrons double lips prove conducive to good sing- ing. The Cleveland Gazette virtually acknowledges that it has failed to hold that city down to the ways of civil righteousness. This would not be such an alarming fact had it not been for the superior claims of editor Smith who maintained for years that Cleveland was above reproach. The leading critic would clear a path for M.C. A. movement. They dotted on their ability to hold the schools mixed. And all which is commendable. It was thought, however, that the town was absolutely a "free port". Now comes the harrowing tale that the parks are not free in all particulars to the colored people. Certain days in the year are colored folk days, and at which time all of the concession people proceed to do them up. The Gazette is raging, but to what purpose remains to be seen. We hope it success. We are doing fairly well in this city in such matters. We could find considerable trouble if we would look for it. Thomas E. Taylor, who watched and tended the growth of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. in this city for so many years, has resigned the work very much to the regret of the board of managers and his friends generally. He served faithfully and well, and according as it should be he has been called to a greater field of usefulness. Mr. Taylor will have charge of a similar work in New York City, and which is now in its infancy. The work there will be of greater scope, including two or three branches all of which will be under his supervision. F. E. DeFrantz, one of the very efficient assistant secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis has been chosen to succeed Mr. Taylor. The selection is very complimentary to the young man, because he at no time lessened in the esteem of the board of management during the years he went in and out before its members and the patrons of the institution. He has proven capable and in all ways worthy to succeed Mr. Taylor. THE NEGRO IN MEXICO. Much has been said relative to the Nerro in Mexico. And from the contents of the following letter it seems that he is coming in for discussion in that country. Henry Allen Boyd corresponding secretary of the Nerro Press Association recently had occasion to write to the Mexican Herald of Mexico City in inquiry of that journal if it had taken a stand against the Nerroes as it had been reported to Mr. Boyd. The reply to Mr. Boyd's inquiry: Mexico City, August 4, 1916. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, Corresponding Secretary National Negro Press Association, Nashville, Tenn. Please send me a very unsettled down here, your letter of 18, 1916, was mislaid and was discovered by the morning of the very morning. Mr. Hudson's son, As Mr. Hudson, editor of The Mexican Herald, is at present absent in the United States, replying your letter in his name. Permit me to say, Mr. Boyd, that I am satisfied you are mistaken. I am satisfied you have printed matter against the Colored race, as, during my nearly thirteen years, I never seen anything against the American Negro published in the sheet. On the other hand, and the association you represent that my knowledge of Mr. Hudson compels me to state that I am not believe that people I cannot believe that you read anything in The Herald against your race, but that you make the charge from hearsey arsenal. With Mr. Hudson, I am a friend of the Negroes and am glad to note that the race has done nobly, considering the handicaps it has had to contend with since the days of slavery. In education, as exemplified in the career of Booker T. Washington, as well as in the army of the Confederacy, states, and recently, the Carrizal affair, where the Tenth Cavalry covered itself with glory, demonstrated the history of the Negro race in the United States to be ashamed of, and that it gives promise of being a great population of the greatest country God ever made. I agree with everything you say about the Negroes having lived here many years. The Mexican sees the worth in a man, no matter what his color may be, Assuring you again, Mr. Boyd, that The Herald is a friend of the American Negro, I beg to remain. Yours truly. D. A. MULLIFE. Acting Manager The Mexican Herald Corporation. The letter to Mr. Boyd is assuring not Negroes have that country in mind for future homes. The information keeps alive the hope for the appreciation of Negroes wherever they may be. AGAINST NEGRO SOLDIERS. Men like Caraway should be kept out of Congress; they are simply disturbers of the peace. Not long since that gentleman introduced a bill in the House the purpose of which is to prevent Negroes from enlisting in the army and navy. Mr. Caraway may love his country very dearly, but he has a poor way of showing it. He may love his country but he loves his prejudices more. He has not allowed the general good of the country to enter his calculations, at all; he sees the Negro as a thing of disgust, as it concerns him personally, and in order to eliminate him he strikes at their citizenship, the citizenship of ten million and more people. And if he succeeded in his fond wish it could easily be accounted treasonable in that the country were undermined in its defenses. The Negroes belong to the classes that furnish soldiers, the comon soldiers, the men of the trenches; not those on horse back, and who do the directing. They could easily furnish a million, not to speak of their brawn, nor of their known spiritual bravery. Napoleon operated with a much less force, and cleaned up Europe more than once. He preferred smaller bodies of men, depending on rapidity of movements rather than on strength. He operated against Austria and France, with a force of 60,000 men, and with success. And yet this Congressman would make civil unchucks of the many able bodied men of the Negro race in order to appease a whim. He presents the following pitiful hill of particulars against them: "When you arm a Negro, and especially when you vest him with Federal authority, he is in him. He becomes a dangerous, swaggering, terrorizing bully. This is proved by the cumulative number of Negro soldiers. In the Spanish-American war, and every town or barracks where Negro soldiers were stationed, there was trouble. Also the Negro civilians in towns where the Negro soldiers have been stationed are sure to be sure and are sure no town, however much it may want the increased commerce that any army post may bring, would want to be in the South, and I know that is true of the South. "White men do not want to serve on an equal footing with Negroes, and I believe that this keeps me from being a slave. This especially y true in the navy, where Negroes serve in the same ships with the whites without distinction." The idea of drawing a microscope on fighting men, when men are willing to die that others may ride about the streets in comfort, to enjoy the theaters and the homes of luxury. We should not grow too squeamish about their little faulty personal qualities, admitting that they have them. If white men do not wish to serve with Negroes the government should see to it that they serve in the way that gives the better satisfaction all around. We think that the Negroes would be content, and as they have been content to shoot at the enemy under any old arrangement. Then too they should be officered from top to bottom by their own men—cutting out the social functions, of course. The trouble is, even though they are the ones who do not wish to be outranked by Negroes. The salute to the superior and other relations in token of superiority do not sit well on the white brother. With such conditions adjusted for the best for all concerned there is no reason to speak with contempt of the Negroes as soldiers. SEEING THINGS RIGHT. In speaking of the effort of Oscar De Priest, the Negro alderman of Chicago, to protect Negroes in their civil rights, the Chicago Herald gives a candid review of the racial situation in a general way. The tone of the article is one of surprise and also suppressed indignation that Mr. De Priest thought it necessary to introduce a measure of the kind. That publication said: "In the fact, the modus operandi in Chicago is as nearly perfect as human rights, and it is a demonstration that a Negro has full civil, meaning full social, rights in any American community." It is not a demonstration and if they insisted upon exercising all privileges theoretically accorded them a general suspension of their rights. There would not these hotel in the city. There probably would be a restaurant or a theater and there might not be nearly so many churches." This is true, discouragingly true from the view point of the kind of intermingling of all other races and as seen in such places—hotels, restaurants, the剧院 and so forth—and because the Negroes regard such intermingling as one of the supreme tests of desirable citizenship. However discouragingly the situation may be viewed from that angle it is encouraging to see the situation faithfully reported in a white publication. This is not the case and that perhaps justified in view of what Mr. De Priest and every one else knows. The plain truth is helpful in adjusting such matters. Our race ought to know by this time that it is not going to fight its way into places of ultra social aspect, where vast sums of money are spent in order to catch a corresponding class of white people. In our effort to enlarge our freedom we often make the assault in the wrong places. We view the hotels, the restaurants and the theatres as apart from the people, and as if they held out arbitrarily against us when in fact they are at the mercy of their patrons. What is true in Chicago is true in New York and Boston—nowhere in this wide wide world of civilization is the black man, the African black man treated on the level with other men. This disturbing fact should not deter us from doing what we can to create a whole situation among us of this country, but it should teach us moderation and the right kind of wisdom that we make headway without unduly antagonizing those who are for us. On this point the Herald said: "The facts candidly faced seem ugly, but custom and habit, undisturbed by them. We have been harmless and it is only disturbance that can make them ugly. Thoughtful Negroes know this. Self-respect that the same force with whites and anthems is used. Our race is not practically hurt by this seeming ugly custom. We are not inconvenienced. We suffer only in thought, in that there are concerns which expect patronage of all of the rest of the public, thus in a manner abridging our citizenship. But on the other hand we must not forget the point, that just such a condition makes the race question, and owing to which Mr. De Priest is an Alderman. He will not destroy it in a day. There are certain rights that we must insist on in season and out of season. They are the greater things, and where there can be no thought of the social. They are too numerous to mention, and they are generally enjoyed. If we were denied these we would be justified in resorting to any thing that they be maintained; for to be denied them would be scarcely less important than it was particularly candid in what it had to say and it is but right to meet it on equal terms, seeing things in their right relations and as they are. But very few Negroes are prepared to live up to the ways of the first class establishments of which that publication spoke. So we are not inconvenienced. Even those few who are prepared to invade those establishments would be quite unwilling to see their own rank and file following them. And we have learned enough to know that the rank and file would be the most likely to show up in those places were they permitted to enter them. We do not like that kind of an admission, nor is it best to be admitted every day, for when a people is struggling to be brought up and not a part. Yet it is useless to attempt to deceive ourselves and those about us. Many a place has been closed to us because of a debauching of some kind on our part, or reputation for debauching which preceded us. Long before this we have said that respect and consideration of a kind will not come about by legislative enactments. Our race will never be legislated into the homes of the white people. If this condition is to come about it will be by mutual consent. And as long as the home is barred it may be set down that those things approaching the home—the social side—will also be barred. That is an alarming proposition, since there is no hint or sign at this day of the time when those homes will be thrown open. Nevertheless we must be governed by what is if we would not be destroyed altogether. That publication said: "The social relations in which the white and black parts of our population are involved never will be determined by enactment of law or ordinance. They will be established by custom. Nothing can or will affect them except as they are affected by natural adjustment. The question even now is not one of civil habit, and that has to be left to habit." We view it as being far better to give a candid observation of the situation, rather than one of hypocrisy and which is readily disproved by every day happenings. It is of course sickening to know of the ugly custom which sets up its "me's" and "you's", but what are we going to do about it? We are not faced by a few opposing white persons who could be whipped into line through legislative action so that the thing is one way. The appeal is from Caesar to Caesar, and we know his decision in advance. Fate seemingly, has decreed that we are to build up within ourselves. Or it may be that fate or some other inquisitional force is determined to try the Negroes out. It may be fortunate that it is so. We know this, that not since the world begun has a beginning race been so favored. If we are the sons of Martha it is because we will to be so. "The sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good property." But the sons of Martha favored their mother of the careful soul and strength. And because she lost her temper once, and because she was rude to the bearer, she was angry. Her sons must wait upon Mary's sons—world without end, reprieve or rest. Kiplin will in mind the working class as against the idle rich. If we choose to be other than Martha's sons we can be so. Very much is permitted us. Everything enjoyed by the white race is possible with us except the association with that race. Hotels, restaurants, theatres we can have and done in marble, ivory and gold if we choose. This does not mean citizenship as we best think of it, but after all the white man will be denied our association. But that doesn't count. And that's the rub. We would have the white man value us, when we fail to give us the opportunity to do within the race before making a final test logically that has in mind the things that we sometimes contend for. If in the end there must be Mary's and Martha's sons among us let them be within our own race. NEWS OF PROVIDENCE, KY.

JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT LINCOLN GIANTS WIN TWO, DE- FEATING THE FAMOUS CUBAN STARS. Special to The Freeman. The weather is the most Sunday's weather had a wee bite of autumn's chill about it. Many of the dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans were forced to wear a jacket to enjoy the games. The weather's effect on the Lincoln Giants' winning streak is the same business of winning the largest possible amount of scores against the far-famed Cuban Stars as soon as the team had won the game of the umpire. Even with Banks, the Lincoln's weakest pitcher, in doing the backed way out in the right field, where he could conveniently miss everything which had any reason to come home on the first end of a double-header, on a home run hit over Joe Williams, with the winning score Joe Williams in the eleventh inning.

Leo Johnson, gave another to Xhitionion, who met to meet champions, when he met Vic Moran, the sensational Crescent City white slugger in a ten round victory. He wrote to scribe the action of this bout would simply be repeating the descriptions of all of Leo's other engagements, and he would have to win. He whipped his man and he whipped him decisively. This column goes to press too early to give the results of this bout. Clinch will take place on Thursday night at Eddie McMahon's Empire club, Patty Kline has just graduated. But since his entrance in the lightweight scale he has met and whipped several of the best players in the Leo, though, should have little difficulty defeating Kline. LANGFORD, MCEVY, WILLS, WARF AND MILLS, IN MIDDLE IN SOUTH AMERICA. The following letter from the New York Evening Globe's special correspondent, telling of the trip across theBUENOS AYRES, July 3.—Here we are at last. Next to grabbing a sight of Miss Liberty down in old New York, this landing was like a Hilda Street meet nearly twenty-five days on the briny. All the gang are in fine spirits, Jim Buckley in the only one he knew. The first day out that we were on an English boat and that made our Fenian peevish. The stewards did not notice, but we were forced to put out our lights every night. Fine sport this of dodging the U-boats, a hall had been arrived in final place. We were greeted upon arrival by a couple of Spanish promoters who couldn't polly our lingo; nor we theirs. We were greeted by a child on carmil stuff, so we were in the air, for Billy Gibson's representatives, Billy Heckler and Billy John, were here. Burt McIntosh, who was the steward on the boat, treated us royally. When the eats were served, we had to supply. Started an Owl Club, which went into session at midnight, with candles as our beacon灯笼, and thus the boys worked our a bit on the way down. Sam Langford hit off quite a friendship with Albert Badad, and the "Old Tar Baby" has told everybody that Badadow the greatest friend to bet Ted (Kid) Lewis that Badadow would stop him inside the limit. Badadow stopped an entire stop any weater or middleweight in the world in a twenty-round fight. They have not paired out the fights yet. Badadow and Lewis is the big first great show to be handed the natives. Then come the battles between Langford, McVey, Wills, and the best. Jim Buckley wants to be remembered. George, Lawrence, Charlie Johnson and all the battlers send regards. Yours all the best. BENNIE MURPHY. AN AFTER VIEW OF LAST WEEK AT THE LAFYETTE AT THE LAFYETTE NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 15.—It was indescribably funny. It was hilariously enjoyable. Each succeeding scene, each of which was to be adapted to a more ludicrous situation, lending a comically pompous and bombastic character to a more ludicrous situation, lending an entire show. Tom Brown! Of course you remember Tom Brown? He is a favorite showman and has been the subject of several previous shows. The days when they used to use a row of lamps filled with kerosene across the room, when they were reminded of the occasion of our first unescorted visit to a theatre, in which we became overmastered with Tom Brown! Tom Brown! We climbed to the top of the back of our seat and shrilled forth our apprehension of growth up with Tom. And have spent many and many—but that doesn't matter, let's get back to the play. Messrs. Brown! Tom Brown! We supplied a really refreshing version of business partners unable to get on to the stage as the wife of Tom Brown, and Miss Abbie Mitchell, as the flanker of Walker Thompson, rendered clever, very charming realizations of very important roles. Miss Iris Hall Pleases, Too. Miss Iris Hall, as Miss Salle Parker, the teacher in her somewhat elevated part—decidedly pleasing. It was her own peculiar way of responding to the footlights which added a spice to the words she was required to speak. And besides, you know, one of the most important things. Having seen her this once for ourselves and listened to her dainty way of speaking lines, we submit-he's right. Enters E. Edward Abrams. A few months ago E. Edward Abrams, decided to become a gallant knight of the flashing footlights. Why? Because he was a man of some, looking very much, in his ruddy, high-brown complexion, like the picture found on the advertising pages of tailors' trade magazines. He found a man with the Anita Bush stock company, then playing playlets of drama at the Lafayette theater. After a week of work with the Anita Bush stock company, Abrams made a very neat bundle of his wardrobe and went to work in a department store. A few months ago. When a "Fair of Sikes" opened at the Lafayette a week or so ago, the same E. Edward Abrams took over the breezy delineation of the firm's star salesman, Tony Toler, that has ever accorded to one so new in the profession. And Mr. Nathaniel Guy— Little has been ascertained by the press in these parts concerning this gentleman, excepting that he is an actor. He has been associated with many other actors that we know of, gives a finished touch of naturalness to his work, and assigns to do. But the main thing is that he is the ideal type of a stage idol. He has it, in his deep-set eyes, and in his face, but quite perfectly proportioned, figure, and in his even infection of his throat, Stranger than everything else, Mr. idolatry does not rest solely on the side of the female sex, but secures an audience to his connection to his connection with the Lafayette stock players, we are told that Mr. Stranger is the art of portraying some of Shakespeare's most eminent characters before he dies. We foremost among the colored thespians playing such roles today. Some time ago, Mr. Nathaniel Guy—and tell all we learned about him in this column. Concerning Some Members of the Lafontte-Thornton Orchestra Miss Marie Lucas, the eminent orchestra directress and organizer of lady symphony orchestras, is still busy preparing for the new Moore, Md. shaping out her orchestra No. 2, which will play at that theater and absence from the Lafayette her place as leader is being ably filled by the efficient little musician, Mrs. Theodore Gibson. Interest In Lady Orchestra's Growing, the role of the Marie Lucas, lady orchestra, girls having exceptional musical abilities had but additional training to financial advantages. Since Miss Lucas has so intelligently furrying satisfaction wherever employed, an increasing demand for their services are always being made. The Queen of Trap Drummers. Miss Alice Calloway, the noted Lafayette theatre trap drummer, holds the honor of being the queen of that profession. Miss Calloway's activities in the musical field however, is not for the sake of before-confining herself to the latter part she cut many capers in the social recognized ability. Nellie Shelton and Her Big Fiddle. One of the best bass violin players that we know of in this city or in any other city, Nellie Shelton. She has been one of the Marie Lucas girls since that lady decided to put colored girl musicians to work. Once through sickness she learned to play the bass more than a week. During those days the Lafayette theater's interior looked almost foreign. The deep bass player in car, Miss Shelton, are looked for by the audience as much as they look for their favorite player in car, Miss Shelton. The stationing of being the best in her line, is not in the least affected by the little cap of an amusing kid who enjoys playing on the big jiddle just as The New Lincoln Theater, Undisturbed By Hot Weather Months, Continues Bentley Fairfax's Great Drum to will welcome your savings account—large or small Why not make a start toward saving now?

Weeping willows are out of date; he are a weeping willow. We are limited only by our wills. We a doer, instead of a trance you can find them, crying "hard times," and even while they are speaking, the wills are known by the voices of those upon the stage. They are working; why not you? "Oh, they are lucky, they can conquer," regulation salary," and a hundred one excuses that you do not believe yourself and you don't expect others to chance. Stop wishing for a chance—take one. Hard times is the furnace in which the metal of men's souls are tested. Learn to laugh at difficulties. Men would never have opportunity to prove their worth if there were no difficulties to overcome, no obstacles to surmount Several years ago a sturdy Negro woman in a breast yearning for wisdom in his breast; started; in search of the mystical fount of wisdom. Some one told him of Tuskegee where one might stop until one had acquired sufficient knowledge to start upon the second leg of the journey to the Mississippi his way. There he was met by Dr. Washington and a corps of competent teachers. The boy was without funds, and he was arranged to work for his education. Which meant that when the more fortunate ones were home upon their acquaintance, they worked. It did not seem a hardship to the boy. Here was a chance to get what he had always desired, worth having is worth working for. The boy finished school with high honors, but his thirst for knowledge or wisdom was not satisfied. The boy went to the loom of the cotton gin, the rumble of the loomocative, the buzz of the saw mill, the pelt of the rain, the worm of the earth, the swollen rivers—all were music to the boy's sensitive ear. He began the study of music, but he must have learned to play the instrument which he would play. He secured a position in a cotton gin, and just when the bank account grew large enough he started to play the instrument happened. The hand was crushed and torn—had to be amputated. But the machinery could not crush the will, the young man addition, that made the young man forget his injury and press ever forward. If he could not play, he would sing. So he took voice culture and developed a singing album, a minstrel show heard the young man sing and gave him a position with his show. The young man sang in the music and voice culture. He was soon able to compose his own songs. He was also appointed instructor of the quartets and choruses with the COLONIAL THEATER IN BALTIMORE, MD, OPENS AFTER BITTING THE MUSIC MINISTRATION AND QUALITY AMUSEMENT CORPORATION.

They do, however, possess more than a few pieces of theater though, where they may attend productions played by their own color play-people and sit wherever they are. The Elite Amusement Corporation, which is just settling down in its fight for a principle, is successful. And success this company of men is, by the president himself, if the case wrote his own sketches and composed his own music and arranged it. He scored the scores of men and women who were in no wise hand-capped by accident or nature are marked continuously. They are now rated as very hard. Perhaps you know them; at least, you have heard of them. I leave you to try. Where there is a will there is a way. Classify Yourself. If you anticipate traveling with a theatrical company, where you will be surrounded by women all possessing different personalities it is well to classify yourself. Are you a grumpy woman or a cheerful woman you hard to please? If so, you will find that the company will not be very pleased to have you accompany them. Are you quick tempered, super-sensitive? If so, you will find that others will be equally impatient and quick tempered with you. Are you selfish? Always looking after your own personal comfort, even though it is of the expense and nuance of the job, you find that others are inclined to show you very little consideration. Are you sure you find it difficult to attend to your own business? If so, you are a mischief maker and had better keep your own company. Are you unreliable? If so, you will be late at rehearsals, late for shows. Are you a company jealous of your superior knowledge, and they will soon find some way to dispense with your sup- "Cast your bread upon the waters and send it out," is just a nice way of saying we generally get back just what we hand out to others.

If we want to expect reacelity, the best rule for conduct with a theatrical company, as elsewhere, is contained in the Golden Book. You would that you do unto you."

The company gave a very good show that the Standard Theater last week.

Just as this column is prepared for presentation reaches us to the effect that the lawyers for the Quality Amusement Corporation has just secured the right to be in the city administration, restraining them from interference and permitting the Colonial Theatre to open its doors to one of the largest of the city's opening. The colored people in that city are reported as being well pleased and are ready to present with them in every future move.

We are once more in the good old city of Richmond, Va. the city where last season we stayed and breaking crowds. This season we returned with a big, new show. Although our tent and seating capacity is almost all occupied we opened to turn-away business and Tolliver's big show is a household word in this city, for this show children are welcome. There have been several tent shows to play here this season, but none to equal Tolliver's show when we opened the largest and greatest colored show on earth. All the acts went big and all old acts that were on the show when we opened the biggest ovation when entering the big top. Little Ella Simmons sends regards to A. D. King and would like to hear from Edna King. May- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. The Gaines Bros. send regards to Austin, also would like to hear from the players. We send regards to Wolfscale Bros. John English, Johnnie Woods and Walton Dew. Tressie Leggs, Artie Belle McGinty and Johnny Woods send regards to Poteet of the Sparks Show and the Wooden's Bon Tons. The Wooden's awards and Dewayman Niles, did you receive my letter? Leroy Knox is still singing his latest will be a man to take the phone. Dr. Booker T., the song is a knockout. The bunch regards to friends in The Gaines Brothers are still a feature in Tolliver's Big Show, the largest of the most difficult feats in tumbling tricks that all tumblers should be able to perform. We have themselves real acrobats. Such tricks as following: First, a complete twister from the floor; second, a front flip from the floor; third, a stairrun over the bottom man's head; fourth, a one-foot back flip that is, to stand on one foot and throw a flip from the knees; last, but not least, Albert Gaines and Albert Wells are doing that most sensational and real acrobatics. We result and catch by the feet. This trick is the talk of every city where acrobats are colored. We being the only colored doing this marvelous feat makes many acrobats who have been tumbling lots of times take notice. Yes, we know paper never refuses ink. But we are not doing these things through the paper, we are doing them on Tolliver's Big Show. BILLY KING THIRTY-THIRD DE GBEE MASON. Only Member of the Stage Profession to Reach High Place In Masonry. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 10—When the Grand Conclave of Masons meet here next week, Billy King, who has played 20 consecutive weeks at the Grand Theater, will with the high Masons the evidence of the high Masons to gather here. He is the only thespian Sincerely Died King to reach the 33rd degree of that ancient fraternity. Masons coming from the United States, him and our "Genial Billy" will be equal to the occasion. It is said he will be invited to the dinner that Mrs. Hattie McIntosh-King will take a week off to preside at the dinner, and he will be invited to break bread. He has one special midnight lunch he will "pull" up and have dinner with those who have "crossed the desert" and traveled East will sup at this table. Happy times are expected here. Masons will part to make the week a glorious one WM. CAMPBELL COMES BACK AT THE ANDERSON. the Freeman wishes to be fair to all of its patrons. Now and then an article recites that the manager has been treated by a manager. We air such grievances in order to be of service to the performers, we know it will affect the manager choose to give the performance time. And sometimes the manager does take advantage of the performer, but we know how the performer tried to put it over the manager after failing in some manner. We wish to be fair. It is not right to send complaining articles to this manager, but unless the charges are strictly true. Some times the performer, when writing of a white-manager relies on the fact that the publisher are published, and consequently they will find in us a ready medium of abuse. We wish it distinctly be fair and square and as an honest judge will only be influenced by the facts as they are. Not long since the following communication came to this office: formers and Musicians Beware of The Campsite Orleans or Orleans Minnette. Jim Anderson and wife, veteran minstrel performers, send the children a contemplating joining this attraction. To begin with dog treatment from an inconsiderate minstrel performer, send them a give in a notice to quit after this treatment he is blackjacked, knocked out, all around the cars. They try to keep the wives of victims on board and beat you out of money. The manager has a minstrel show before. Hope this had a will not some of the performers that are left on show in minstrel shows seems to us that such charges as these would not be made unless true. He shows to us that the proprietor of the show, says that the charges against him are not true. Not Fair to Him. His communication to this office is not true. "I wish you would correct the mistake you made in your paper about me when you were in school because they were fighting all the time. She wanted to stay and write a letter to me, and she gave our salaries on here and feed and take good care of all people employed by us. I hurt me when I want people and I don't consider it was fair to me for you to put an article like this in with you. I don't know the facts. So I will ask you to adjust it." Yours truly, Wm. Campbell. Then again he says: Jim Anderson write you and you put in your paper is a lie as you can ask any one of my boys over here if they are not showing it. Jim Anderson was always drunk and fighting with his wife all the time, night and day, and I could tell him that every one that was coming to him and any one one that works for me. He got every cent that was coming to him and any one one that works for me. He paper and put my name to him. I did not see what he said, just what other people has wrote me here with the show as I did. Freeman that had it. Yours truly. Wm. Campbell." Let it be worm in mind that we are no more interested in Mr. Campbell than in Wm. Campbell what either have said, leaving it to those concerned to judge of the matter. Statement of facts in all cases so that we may be able to do the right thing at all times by those with whom we Sunday, August 6th, found Ringling Bros.'

Mr. John Mitchell would like to be re-recorded, but he doesn't profess. Mr. Richard Jones says look out drummers taking up traps on the street, also make a change to saxophone for some reason or other. We don't hear very much discussion as to where the team is, but what waits on the season, some of the boys can tell the closing town and when they leave on and all, what waits on the season.
