BY HORACE D. SLATTER. Two thousand Negro farmers and their wives and children attended the fourth annual session of the Negro farmers' conference, which was recently held at Utica, Miss., under the auspices of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute, of which William H. Holtzclaw is principal. The establishment and maintenance of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute are the direct outcome of the Tuskegee institute idea, its principal being a typical Tuskegee product. The concrete examples of successful farm life of these Negro farmers who work in the Tuskegee institute, with all its work, has become a part of the life of the people. Ten years ago they lived from "hand to mouth." Now, through the influence of this institute, some have PRINCIPAL W. M. HOLTGRAW cleared themselves of debt, others have erected spacious modern homes for their families, while all, more or less, are bending their every energy to the task of obtaining a good education for their children to the end that they may be good and useful citizens. There are yet many things that we ought to have and many that will come to us in fact, just about as fast as we can make the best use of them. But the question is, are we doing to help ourselves? How are we living our lives? Let us go home and upstairs. Go to the garden. Go to the way. Go and buy you a little home if it is but an acre of land. Build a house upon it. Plant a tree in the garden. Plant fruit trees and shade trees. Use some whitewash and paint. Begin the systematic education of your children. Let everybody work, for our temporal salvation is largely bound up in our ability to become intelligent producers by work. I know you have many things to contend with, but you must not let these things get up in the worldsthe individual that conquers conquests, that masters surroundings, not the one who allows conquests, but the one who habit of going about with a long face, a hang down head. Just look the world in the face with head erect and you will that the world will make a place for you. Attending this conference were a large number of prominent visitors, among whom were: Charles Banka cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou; Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, the only all Negro town in the state; J. A. Martin, principal of the largest Negro city school in the state, from Jackson; K. K. Jackson, the founder of Bank Jackson; John Green, representative of the Jeanne Rural School fund; G. W. Williams, principal of an industrial school, a direct outgrowth of the Utes institute. The products exhibited from the bor ticultural and agricultural departments were splendid. Frank admissions as to their own shortcomings, of the things that contribute toward their failure, were given by the individuals as freely as the proud statement of successful accomplishments. "I made good money, but I ain't got no home, 'cause I done eat it all up," said one man. And yet before that audience he determined to do more for his family than ever before. Strange enough, this same man has successfully educated his three children, two of whom hold responsible positions in southern schools. Another man detailed how, after ten years in debt, he covenanted with his wife that they would work for themselves, and now, after four years' hard work, they have a nice home, 120 acres of land, with all payments up to date. In simple words the story of their present life is the story of weevil, too, contributes to the trials and misfortunes of the farmers. One man, speaking of the situation, declared, "I can't ain't toow to low de boll weevil nor de white fowk to run me away from my farm." Another man confessed that for a long time he wanted to save $500 before he would open a bank account, and when he finally came to his senses he began an acacia farm wqrth on an average of $10 per acre. Strong and forcible resolutions were adopted by the entire conference, in which the state of Mississippi was congratulated for the increased agricultural development, with particular reference to the era of good feeling now prevailing between the races. The black people pledged themselves to use their best influence for the continued development of the white race is one with us in the wish that this fact was different, but in spite of our combined wishes it resisted the implore the strong arm of the law to see to it that the statutes are respected by as well as black, rich as well as white. We further congratulate the state upon the abolishment of the legal sale of Inns. We further congratulate the state upon the good effects of the law are now clearly seen. We pledge ourselves to render any assistance we can to the officers of liquor in our various communities. We urge our people to harbor no criminals, to see to it that the platoon "tutor" away as far as possible. We would suggest that the leaders of our people in every community get in touch with the leaders of the law enforcement and help them in the enforcement of the just love of the land, enaboards with the improvement of the people in any way. We cannot too earnestly entreat our people to become the proud possessors of our bank. We cannot too earnestly entreat our local bank if you have but a dollar. The habit of possessing a bank account will injure. As a parting word we want to warn our people that prosperity and happiness can never come from the lack of the year instead of eight, as the average farmer does. Let us mend our ways on all lines and make a tremendous effort to lift our hands. PASSING OF JACK NAIL Well Known Politician and Financialer Who Amassed a Fortune Retires. It is said that Jack Nall of Nail Bros, saloon proprietors and political organizers, who recently sold his piece of business at 461 Sixth Avenue, New York, for the handsome sum of $153,500, is perhaps the wealthiest Afro-American in New York. Mr. Nail, whose fortune is estimated to be about $300,000, has retired from business. Twenty-seven years ago two youths, Jack and Eddie Nall, were employed as attendants in business establishings in Washington, then much patronized by senators, representatives and others in authority. The two boys saved a little money, staked it on a turn of the wheel and won. They started a restaurant business in Washington, but after several months decided to try their luck in New York. They sold out, came to New York and purchased a saloon at 450 Sixth avenue. They prospered from the first because it became known their motto was "Nothing crooked." After a career of fourteen years at the above number the Nails moved to a more commodious establishment at 461 Sixth avenue. Dick Croker was prominent in the sporting world who visited it included Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans and Joe Walcott, pugilists, and Isaac Murphy and Frank Craig, jockeys. Jack Nall was a leader of the colored Democrats in New York city for years. He founded the Parquete Political club and acted as its chief when he was leader of the Twenty-fifth assembly district. Eddie Nall died several years ago. Institution Worthy of Liberal Aid. More and more we are beginning to see the necessity for a more liberal support on the part of our people of the institutions conducted by and in the special interest of our young people. The White Rose Industrial association of New York is an example of the kind of material aid most needed for those seeking to better their condition along industrial lines. Last year the association sheltered 216 girls, gave free school to 708 and secured positions for 245. Popular Baseball Team's Long Tour.

Bloodhounds often are trained to assist army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Iirah rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the dorper for the hunt to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and assembling a tree which overhang the water.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned on when trying to sell their goods (saying that they live in the name or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. PORR. Beware of imitation.
