Empty Headed Swella No Criterion For Bulk of Young Afro-Americans. In the past few years many assertions have been made that the young Negro of today is not as ambitious and trustworthy as his forefathers. It is said that he is satisfied with little or no education, is prodigal to a much greater degree than his ancestors and has no aim in life but to dress well and spend money. All of this is true when applied to the "city dude," who is to be found in every race, but it is not true when applied to the general run of young Negroes. The empty headed "swells" of both races make themselves conspicuous by their loud shirts, razor edge trousers and gold headed canes and sometimes add a pair of unneeded shoes for good measure. But the young man of stability, who is trying to improve himself, is not seen so often on the streets. Those who seek him must go to his home and not to the nearest saloon or street corner. Large cities are a poor place in which to form one's judgment of the young Negro of today. The small towns and country districts hold the great majority of the most stable men of the race. But even in large cities we have thousands of good men who are seldom seen because they have no time to loaf on the corners. It is just as absurd to judge these men by the worthless and more conspicuous element as it would be to judge the white youth of the country by those of their race who are addicted to prodigal living.-Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING Noted Educator's Claims Challenged Case of High Salient Chef Cited. Case of High Salaryed Cher Cited. Dr. Thomas H. Riley in speaking of the great work which Dr. Washington is doing for the race along industrial lines said recently: "I do not criticise Dr. Washington as an industrial teacher, as I believe him to be one of the best we have, but when he claims that the industrial school and college are prime factors, redeeming features, along with the unit voting in solving the Negro problem, such claim I challenge. It was a chef of high repute and salary who was dismissed for his deception in seeking to pass a rabbit ple for a chicken ple. Rabbit ple was simply good for what it was. Industrial schools are good for what they are worth, but not as prime race problem solvents. Let them take their place down the line." JOHNSON'S NEXT BOUT. Champion Likely to Meet Langford Be before He Tackles Jeffries Now that Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion, has disposed of another aspirant for his title, fight followers the country over are clamoring for Jim Jeffries to meet him in the ring. If the pair meet it should result in one of the greatest static encounters ever held. Before the champion meets Jeffries he intends taking on Sam Langford, the Boston warrior. LATEST PHOTO OF JACK JOENSON, WORLD'S HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. who has been making a grand cleanup of his own accord in the heavyweight division. Langford is a dangerous man for Johnson to meet before he tackles Jeff. Samuel has a punch with the force of a mule's kick behind it and is a remarkably clever boxer. Many critics figure that had Langford fought Ketchel he would have saved Johnson the trouble of pushing him down the pugilistic ladder. With Jeffries and Langford out of the way, Johnson would remain champion for many, many years. Cottage Down Here Good Enough. The time to do a thing is now. The principal reason for so many people not having, owning and conducting something of their own is because they procrastinate—put off. Remember that if you would own something for yourself and family the time to arrange for this something is now. Every man, real man, is expected to have some of this world's goods. This is decidedly better than having "a mansion in the sky." Better first own a cottage here where you live.—Orangeburg (S. C.) Recorder. Conversion of the New York Age. The Detroit (Mich.) Informer informs the growing spirit of political independence which is being expressed in the columns of the New York Age and says, "Sometimes it is necessary to have a brick house fall on even the editor of a great paper before he tumbles to the real political situation, but it is well that he sees the light, even though he is somewhat tardy in John- s.

Al Great Gathering In Tuxedo Hall, New York, Explorer Teels Admiring Thrung That He Was Willing to Die If Necessary to Discredit Popular Theory. BY N. H. DODSON. Afro-Americans of Greater New York have done themselves proud within the past few months bestowing honor and homage upon those members of the race who have won special distinction in their chosen fields. The first notable event among them was the great welcome ovation to the returning "Fighting Tenth" cavalry from the Philippine Islands. The second, which partook more of national loyalty than of race pride, was the part taken in the recent Hudson-Fulton celebration. Jack Johnson's victory over Stanley Ketchel came in for a goodly share of race hilarity. The last great event, the facts connected with which are of worldwide interest to all peoples—the complimentary dinner which was given in honor of Matthew Henson, the only Afro-American who has carried the stars and stripes to the top of the world—was in every way befitting for one who has achieved such a signal exploit in connection with the scientific discoveries of the world. The dinner was given in Tuxedo hall, New York, Oct. 19. There were over 200 persons present. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue, as trustmaster, presented Mr. Henson with a gold watch studded with diamonds, the gift of his admirers. "Whatever may be said in the controversy as to which white man discovered the pole," said Mr. Anderson in presenting the watch, "there is not a shadow of doubt as to which black man got there." In a brief speech accepting the watch Henson said that the colored man had tried for years to show the opposite race that he is a man of grit. "When I went to Greenland they said I never would come back," said Mr. Henson. "They told me I couldn't stand the cold—that no black man could. I said I was willing to die if necessary to show them. I survived all right, and here I am." This telegram, sent by Commander Peary from Eagle isle, Maine, was read: I congratulate you and your race upon Matthew Henson. He has driven home to the world your great adaptability and the ability you are made. He has added to the moral stature of every intelligent man among you. His is the hard earned reward of tried loyalty, persistence and endurance. He should be an everlasting example to your young men that these qualities will win when you are in the company of those deserves every attention you can show him. I regret that it is impossible for me to be present at your dinner. My compliments to your assembled guests. Booker T. Washington sent this telegram from Tusacee, Ala.: An sending you my subscription for the Henson dinner. Permit me to congratulate you and your coworkers upon the wisdom and generosity manifested in providing the dinner in honor of our distinctions. We are grateful that you have by his achievement lifted the race to a higher level. My congratulations to the guest of the evening and to those assembled. The dinner began at 8 o'clock. Among the toastmasters were James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney at Washington; ex-Judge Hilleen W. Gibbs of Arkansas; James Curtis, lawyer; Gilchrist Stewart, who led the legal fight for the Negro soldiers in the Brownsville riot; Bishop Alexander Waters of the African Methodist Episcopal church, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Books of St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church, Professor W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce university; the Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, Frederick B. Wattins and Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, president of the Colored National Medical association. At the conclusion of the dinner three rousing cheers were given for Henson as "the black man who had helped to discover the pole." Unwarranted Attack on Aged Man. Cosby Jones, the aged Afro-American who was struck and unmerciful blow over the head by Policeman Swords on Labor day in New York, fled suit against Swords in the superior court a few days ago for $2,000 damages. Mr. Jones had committed no offense. He was to cross Whitehall street just as the Labor day parade was starting, when the policeman in question felled him to the street. At the hospital eight sutches were taken to close the wound. The police board investigated the matter, but, as usual, because his victim was an Afro-American the policeman was exonerated. Mr. Jones is about eighty years of age. Cassie E. Kerr to Study in Nova Scotia. Sir William Gray Wilson, governor of the Bahama islands, who with Lady Wilson arrived in New York recently, brought with him Cassie E. Kerr, a blind Afro-American girl. She is so clever and so ambitious for an education that the governor has decided to send her to an institution for the blind in Nova Scotia. After Cassie completes her education at the Nova Scotia institution Governor Wilson intends to have her return to the Bahamas to become the head of a similar institution there. She lost her sight from a premature blast of dynamite many years ago. BELL DRUG CO. NINTH and CENTER ST. Lowest prices on everything in the drug line. If you don't trade with us now, give us a trial.

CURED ITCHING HUMOR Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did Not Heal - Buffered 3 Years. Tortures Yield to Cicura. "Little black swellings were scattered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swelling, but we were able to book the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cicura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well.

When the girl in the dark-blue linen suit and flaring hat entered the room, the young woman in the trailing pink frock was wandering aimlessly about. "Goodness, Jes!" cried the caller. "Are you going somewhere or—" "I'm so glad to see you, Genevieve," interrupted the girl in pink, gliding forward with both hands outstretched. But her tone was restrained. The girl in blue looked her over critically. "If you are going anywhere or have any one coming," said the girl in blue, "just tell me and I'll run away. It was such a lovely day that I thought I'd come over for the afternoon." "Oh, did you?" queried the girl in pink, rather vaguely. "No, indeed, I'm not going anywhere." The girl in blue sat down rather doubtfully. Some telepathetic sense told her what she intruding. How over, she shook off the sensation and drew out her hatpins. "You seemed so kind of odd," she explained. "Oh, did I? I murmured her hostess. "See here!" exploded the caller. "You're all dressed up and you seem rather restless! What's the matter?" "Why, nothing's the matter," insisted the girl in pink. She looked out of the window and then came and sat down, carefully patting her hair in place. "Did you have a good time at the party last night?" she asked, with apparent effort. "Goodness, me!" cried the caller. "Don't you rememebr that I called you up on the 'phone yesterday and said, 'I'm sorry' because the party was called off?" "Oh!" cried the girl in pink, with a start. "So you did!" She rose and regarded herself anxiously in the mirror over the mantel. "Do you think I have my hair too low on the right side?" she asked. "I hadn't noticed," said her caller, in some surprise. "No, it looks very nice to me. Graculous, it must have taken you a long time to get it done up that way yourself! It looks as though you were going to a ball, instead of just staying at home and doing nothing." "always like to look well, whether you see me or not," declared the girl in pink with dignity. She walked to the window again and looked up the street, while her friend in blue surveyed her in deepening perplexity. "I never saw you so restless before," commented the girl in blue. "You don't seem yourself—you are so absent-minded. Say, I was down town yesterday and saw a lot of new fall suits and things. There was the lovelest—" "Excuse me just a minute, broke in fall pink. I remember I forgot to powder my nose, and it always looks so shiny it—" Her voice trailed away up the staircase. "Well, I never!" ejaculated the girl in blue. She looked a little alarmed and dubious. "I wonder if Jess is not feeling well or if she is mad at me about something?" She picked up a magazine and read a short story before her hostess reappeared, her face carefully attended to. "You aren't displeased with me about anything, are you?" asked the caller. "Why, Genevieve!" cried the girl in pink. "Of course not! How absurd! I dreadfully glad to see you. I am your aunt to-day?" "Aunt Hattie? Is she asked her女儿, rather a labored tone." Don't you remember she went east two weeks ago? You and I took her to the train! "Oh, of course!" cried the young woman in pink. "I forgot." "You must have something very important on your mind!" "Why, not a thing, really!" declared the girl in pink. She arose and walked to the window again. "Are you looking for some one?" demanded her friend. "Not a soul!" declared the girl in pink, turning around suddenly. "Whom on earth should I be looking for in the afternoon?" came from so old, commented her friend. "Did you know Herbert Arrows is going west soon?" The girl in pink looked for her handkerchief. "Yes," she said. "Where did you see Herbert?" "His sister told me," explained the caller. "He's taken you around a lot this summer, hasn't he?" "Not so very much," said the girl in pink. "Yes, he has," said her friend. "Every one thinks—" "It's no such thing," declared the girl in pink, whose cheeks suddenly matched her room. "When is he going?" "He leaves this evening," said the girl in pink, with a little frown. The bell rang and she sprang to her feet and patted her hair. "There he is now!" she burst out. "He—he said he'd drop in this afternoon to say good-bye. Oh, don't go." The girl in blue reached hurriedly for her hat and began jabbing in the jacket. "Was that what asked you?" she asked. "Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" "Chicle" in Great Demand. The extent of the use of chewing-gum among the people of the United States is illustrated by the fact that the importation of "chicle" in 1968, chiefly for use in the manufacture of chewing-gum, amounted to more than 4,000,000 pounds. This article, which is obtained in southern Mexico from the trunks of the sapillus plum tree, and the importation gum during the last decade has amounted to about 30,000,000 pounds, or over 13,000 tons, valued at over $5,000,000.

Realizing the importance of perfecting auxiliary movements to the church which will give life and growth to the membership and train the young people for active and beneficial service the young people's society of the Methad Epipalacal churches connected with the Florence district of the South Carolina conference is preparing for a conference in the near future of the Epipalacal churches in their district. Professor I. Garland Penn of Atlanta, Ga., is deeply interested in this phase of church work among our people and has requested each church to renew its vigor in the Epworth league. Conspicuous in this body of young church workers is a theologian who received his collegiate training at Claflin university and at Gammon Theological seminary. These institutions rank with the best among Afro-American theologians and for pilgrimage these schools, Rev. Benjamin S. Jackson, pastor of the M. E. church at Florence, S. C., where the Epworth league conference will be held, is bending his energies to make the conference a great success. The bishop of 9 REV. BENJAMIN S. JACKSON. this diocese has particularly noted Rev. Mr. Jackson's success as a pastor and is highly pleased. His earnest solicitation for the conservation of the forces that will increase the influence of the church and ability to contribute to such forward movements have caused a strong sentiment for the centralizing of his endeavors in a larger field of usefulness and designation. With many of kindred inspiration in the lead, the leagues will plan a campaign to reach a larger number of persons and make the churches attractive to nonchurchgoers. FIELD DAYS FOR AFRICA.

Dr. Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia, is in America on a two month's furough. This is the first vacation he has had since 1904. While here he will probably be called upon by the state department to discuss the report of the American commission which recently visited Liberia to make a study of conditions in that part of West Africa. In speaking of conditions in Liberia a few days ago Dr. Lyon said: "Liberia offers an excellent opportunity for the investment of American capital. It is a republic believe that America can aid in its economic development. The trade now is controlled by the English and German peoples." The visit of the three envoys from the United States was especially pleasing to the ruling classes there, and they think it indicates a new day for Liberia. The commission was received enthusiastically and given every opportunity for learning conditions at first hand. The official report of the special commission is awaited with profound interest by leading citizens of the republic, who are hopeful that many matters favorable to the material well being of Liberia may be presented. The debt of Liberia is not very large, a conservative business man of that country believes that $3,000,000 will place the republic on its impaired commercial development. The national debt is about $1,250,000. The remainder of the $3,000,000 could be used in building railroads and other conveniences necessary to improve conditions. "Should railroads be built the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, ginger and other products would give a new industrial meaning to the inhabitants. Fruit can be grown on an extensive scale; also can growing be made profitable. "Liberians are making commendable progress along educational lines. The missionist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal and apostle churches have established schools which are rendering a praiseworthy service. "In a word, I believe Liberia offers opportunities for development far beyond the ideas of the average American." Dr. Lyon has been minister to Liberia since 1903. His services have been eminently satisfactory to the government he represents and that to which he has been sent, and he has been decorated by Liberia with the Order of African Redemption for his appreciated services for the uplift of Liberia.
