Kendall, of Albia, assisted by word and presence in the campaign for raising money to defray indebtedness on the church, the faithful of the Second Baptist church observed a real harvest festival by three service yesterday. The sum to be raised was $800, by which it was hoped to liquidate the church debt. So successful were the meetings that that more than one-half of that sum was raised, and the colored folks are rejoiced over the results of their efforts. Sermons and short talks featured the three services and the spirit of generosity was felt throughout. "Generous Giver," was the theme of the address by Congressman Kendall and he made an eloquent appeal to the people to rally to the support of the cause. His frank, open and generous manner pleased the congregation much. "The solution of the race problem," said he, "will come when the young colored and white men learn each others qualifications."

Burlington in political parlance, is the heart of the reservation of standpatism, is fast becoming progressive, and friends of the progressives are among the district. We found here about the usual condition respecting our race. About 600 dwell here. Mr. Peter King, one of the oldest and most highly respected is still working in the department of the Honourable Ton's millionaires. He also runs an express wagon. The A. M. E. church seems to be taken on a new movement under Rev. Thomas, who has purchased some adjoining properties, a living apartment on the second floor, and business rooms on the first floor. Rev. Thomas is supervising and doing a great part of the building to expect to have bath rooms and gymnasium for the young people. Mr. and Mrs. John Trent have rented the beautiful Fate Martin flat, 508 Washington. They are living at the same place, keeping roomers. Mr. Aaron Hughes is still working at the same place, as is Mr. A. McDowell, another good honest citizen. Mr. Matt. Ross is living at the same place, street, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Pleasan have recently purchased a new home at 301 S. Ninth street. Also Mr. Henry Irwin has a new 5-room modern cottage. Mr. James Ray is living at the same street. One of the most interesting and steady men is J. E. Johnson, who is still working for the Granulated Sore Eyes Cured. "For twenty years I suffered from a bad case of granulated sore eye, says Martin Boyd of Henrietta, Ky. "In February, 1903, a gentleman asked me to try Chamberlaid's Salve. I bought one box and used about two-thirds of it, and my eyes have not given me any trouble since." This salve is for sale all drugstores.

IOWA We are at the mercy of the aviator. As we remember it now, winter had some good points. To orphan banana republics the fatherland refuses to be a mother. Now here come the dentists with that anti-kissing thing, too. Going swimming looks like the only rational employment in hot weather. The army may have to help device means for a sane artillery drill. Are there any records that this year's weather has not broken? Europe might try exporting its surplus rainwater to our middle west. As a diversion to swatting the fly, keep your stable clean, if you've got one. Chopping Americans into little bits is still a favorite pastime of the Morro. Speaking of weights and measures prosecutions, how'd you like to be the iceman? Swatting the common house fly is now one of our most popular indoor lady sports. Even though the water is fine, if you can't swim, don't go in beyond your depth. For the sake of thirsty crops any good citizen should willingly sacrifice his straw hat. "What's the right word for an aerospace garage?" asks the Boston Globe. How's planehack? What has become of the Chicago joy rider who killed a woman and was afterward captured? The assistant chef of a lake boat refused to cook fried potatoes and the chef at once mashed him. The boat rocker and the fellow who stands up in the boat are in evidence again, but have escaped so far. As if it were not bad enough for the earth to fly up and hit aeroplanes, lightning has begun striking them. What bald-headed man had hoped so live to see a fylleas world? Yet that is what the scientists are planning. Glddy New York regards the idea of closing its lobster palaces at 1 a.m. as very little better than a curfew law. We wonder how one small cone can hold so many kinds of chemicals and have room left for a nickel's worth of ice cream. It costs $3,000,000 a day to run the national government. What will the government cost when aeroplaning is in fashion? A Chicago man paid $300 for "mere bit of a meal." It probably was a steak with one overlaying slice of breakfast bacon. The government is turning out 3,000,000 postal cards a day, due to the summer resort season being in full blast, we presume. United States certificates of merit to enlisted men are going largely to the cooks and musicians. Has no one a word for a soldier? Rudyard Kipling urges that airmen wear pneumatic armor for protection in case of accident. That is simpler than covering the earth with feather beds. Considering the size of the heads of some of the hatpins that the girls are wearing, they certainly do not come under the law forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons. The word-collar has an easy task. All he needs to do in expressing his views on public policy is to select the manner of a man he dislikes and attach the syllable "ism." London and New York may soon be connected with telephone communication. None of the fictious of fairy tales can surpass this modern miracle of a chat over the ocean. The Kaiser has been writing poetry to a party of German maidens who called upon him and took him chocolate. Incidentally, it is to be hoped the chocolate was better than the poetry. One of the latest aeroplane accidents shows that it is bad to be in a flying machine hit by lightning, in the air. But where is being struck by lightning either comfortable or salubrious? Some of New York's most wealthy and fashionable women are importing French aeroplanes and preparing to learn to aviate. Philadelphia women have taken the lead at Newport, and there seems to be nothing for the New York ladies to do but fly high around home. The man who rescued his mother-in-law from his burning home and left his fishing tackle to the mercy of the names may have been absent minded. Charitable benedicts will do well to give him the benefit of the doubt until he is found guilty. A returned missionary from Hankaw district says that the Chinese are manifesting less hostility to foreigners. Sure, they're a square business get to produce the check before you get the washing. FOUR TRACK BRIDGE Union Pacific Reported Planning New Bridge at Council Bluffs COST ESTIMATEDAT $5,000,000 Preposed Structure Over Missouri River Would Be the Longest Bridge in the World—Over 300 Trains a Day. Council Bluffs, Ia., Aug. 23—To relieve congestion that at times is decidedly serious, the Union Pacific has under consideration plans for the reconstruction of its double track bridge over the Missouri river at this point, making it a four track bridge. At intervals within the past three years, loud complaints have been lodged with the officials of the Union Pacific company by officials of other lines using the bridge, because of delays to their trains. The piece of track between the Union Pacific transfer in Council Bluffs and the Nebraska side of the river, where the two lines of track diverge towards the terminals of the various lines having trackage in Nebraska, is said to be one of the most seriously congested pieces of track in the country. It was at first pointed out that lack of terminals in Omaha presented almost as serious a problem as the bridge trouble but since then additional tracks have been laid on ground recently secured and with the additional tracks at the two railway stations in Omaha the immediate need of increased trackage over the river is felt greater than ever. The Rock Island, which has a long lease with the Union Pacific and which uses its tracks to South Omaha, is the most persistent and loudest kicker on present bridge facilities. At times its through passenger trains are laid out a half hour to an hour. The proposed new four track bridge which will be the largest railroad bridge in the world, is to cost reports say, $5,000,000. The present structure was built in 1886. An average of more than 300 trains a day pass over it, and it is reported that the bridge signs of decay and rack from this tremendous traffic. Trains are sent over it at a speed estimated at 25 miles an hour. In its day the present bridge was a wonder and achieved for its designers and builders great renown, because of the difficulties that had to be overcome in construction and because the steel structure was put in place without delaying traffic. The bridge is used by every line of road entering Council Bluffs, with the exception of the Illinois Central, which has its own bridge, also a fine one. At times there are as many as ten trains upon the bridge and approaches. Observe Golden Wedding. Dallas Center.—Mr. and Mrs. S. C.

COACHES TAKE FIRE AT ONCE Rear Siever Containing Thirteen Passengers Is Split In Two—Only One Occupant Thought to Have Escaped—Bodies Recovered. Durand, Mch.—A wreck on the Grand Trunk here Wednesday night was, perhaps, the worst in point of horror in the history of railroading in the state. Although only one car was demolished nearly every passenger of the twenty in the car was killed and of those not killed only one escaped serious or fatal injury. The wreck immediately caught fire and many of the bodies were burned almost beyond recognition. Fifteen bodies had been recovered early Thursday morning. No. 14, the Chicago-Montreal train, left Durand at 10:01 o'clock, but was stopped three miles east because of a breakdown on the engine. No. 4 left Durand also eaound, at 10:35 and into the rear end of the standing train, splitting the rear sleeper in two and throwing its passengers and bits of wreckage to each side of the right way. The burned sleeper was the Nebraska. It burned so rapidly that most of the twenty passengers were burned to death in their berths. The bodies, with the exception of two, were incinerated. The two bodies saved were those of women. George Wilson, firman of No. 4, says his train had gathered full headway and was running more than forty-five miles an hour when the accident occurred. He says there was no warning of the presence of No. 4, except one torpedo over Mich. his engine passed a moment before the collision. Charles Spencer, the engineer of No. 4, is thought to have been fatally injured. Engineer George Mitchell of the engine pulling No. 14, was under his broken engine making repairs when his train was struck and was fatally hurt. He died on the way to a hospital. A relief train was made up at Battle Creek and rushed to the scene of the wreck with doctors, nurses and hospital supplies. Hundreds of farmers from surrounding country hurried to the wreck attracted by flames which lighted the sky for miles. They aided in recovering bodies and in caring for the wounded. Two men were caught digging into the ruins in search of valuables. On the plea that they were only seeking survivors and were not ghouls they were allowed to go.

CAPTAIN OF LINER BUCKMAN SHOT TO DEATH. Two Armed Passengers Attempt to Take Possession of Vessel—One Jumps Overboard Whir Arrested. Eureka, the Alaska Pacific Steamship company's liner Buckman was held up at sea' off this port by two passengers. Captain Wood was shot and killed by one of the men in resisting.

Early in the morning Fred Thomas, passenger, went to the captain's cabin, while an accomplice descended to the engine room. Both men were armed and they attempted to take possession of the vessel. Captain Wood refused to comply with Thomas' demands and was shot dead. Thomas ran out of the room and, seeing his phone had miscarried, strapped on a life preserver, and leaped into the sea. Meanwhile the accomplice had encountered resistance in the engine room. He was overpowered and placed in irons. The Buckman is proceeding to San Francisco in charge of First Officer Brennan. The attempt to rob the Buckman was reported to the steamer President, north-bound. KOREA IS ANNEXED TO JAPAN Text of Convention is Communicated to the Powers, But Withheld From the Public. Tokyo—Japan has completed the details of the annexation of Korea. The text of Convention is written which the Hermit kingdom and that the mkado's empire was communicated to the representatives of the powers. The document, which, according to now established fact, was signed August 22, will be effective when officially promulgated. This will take place, according to some of the ministers. Baron Hirata, minister of the interior, summoned the proprietors of all the Japanese newspapers to his cabinet Wednesday and requested them to publish no unauthorized information regarding the situation in Korea. He pointed out that such publication under existing conditions would only make the tas. of the Japanese government in carrying out the annexation more difficult. The newspapers agreed to his wishes and nothing regarding the annexation beyond official statements will therefore be published here before the promulgation of the convention.

RAINS BRING RELIEF HEAVY FALL IN FIRE/SWEPT ZONE AIDS TENSE SITU: TWENTY BODIES ARE FOUND Officially Declared 54 Persona Lost Lives in Cocur d'Alene District— Four Negro Soldiers Missing— Hundred Dead Wallace. Avery, Idaho—The bodies of 20 forest service men who died fighting the fires near here were recovered Wednesday and brought to this city. Government agents declare there is little hope for any of the missing. Four negro soldiers of Company G. Twenty-fifth United States infantry, are among the missing and are be- lieve to have perished. Two Japanese employed in railroad work, who had been fighting the fires, emerged from the woods. They were severely burned and report that ten of their fellow laborers had fallen before the flames and were dead. Spokane, Wash.—Rain, turning to snow in the high mountains, Wednesday brought relief to a large part of Idaho, Montana and Washington districts that have been devastated by forest fires. The storm occurs at an average height of extended over an area of 100 square miles, taking in the Coeur d'Alene district. It is now officially declared that 54 persons, and no more, have been killed. There is said to be no warrant for the reports of loss of hundreds of lives. All men on the list of government foresters employed in Idaho have reported to the supervisor or are known to be safe. Wallace, Idaho.-Reports here Wednesday show a death list of 100, with 200 men missing, as the result of the forest fires. While the cities of Wardner, Kellogg, Burke and Murray are threatened with disasters similar to the one Wallace has suffered, the danger here is over. A prospector reached Wallace's home to Forest Supervisor Wellek that Ranger H. F. Kottkey, who with a crew of 200 men had been missing in the St. Joe country since Friday, has reported safe at Missoula with a few of his men. Heela, Mont—Reports received here from every fire district in Montana indicate that the situation is by long odds the worst in the history of the state. Despite the large number of troops, civilians and railroad employees that have been put into the field, the flames are absolute masters of the situation, and there is only one salvation—general rain, but for which there is no prospect. Butte, Mont—Six hundred fire fighters who left Thompson Falls four days ago are reported lost, and Forest Superintendent Bushnell of the cabins, all of whom at Thompson, fears all may have perished. The wind is blowing furiously toward Thompson and it is fearing the little town, which is crowded with refugees, will be swept by fire. The first cheering news from the great forest fire gone came Tuesday afternoon in the form of a report that heavy rain was falling at Cutbank on the eastern edge of the great Flathead country. Should this rain be generated by the storm, the authorities will part of the state, the fires will be conquered and not until then, according to those who have visited the scene. Governor Norris called out five companies of state troops to assist in fighting fires in the Flathead country. Fergus and Gallatin counties, in each of which district, are the headquarters of the foresters and railroad employees. The reports from the northern end of this county are any thing but assuring. Several new fires are reported from Lincoln, Stemm, Gould and Flesher and with the flames complete masters of the situation. Summit, a town on the Great Northern, is reported surrounded by flames. Libby and Troy are still graving damage, until recording Norris, who has returned from there. Washington.—Already the forest fires raging in the Missoula, Mont., and northern Idaho districts have consumed timber and property valued at more than $25,000,000. This, according to an official of the forest bureau Monday, is a conservative estimate. The d'Aleene district of Idaho more than fifty persons are known to be dead, and nearly 100 are missing as a result of the forest fires. All along the Great Northern and Northern Pacific tracks between Spokane and Helena numberless fires are known to be raging fiercely, but definite reports cannot be secured. The seriously injured, mostly fire fliers, will number, according to the state Department of Forestry, by W. R. Wegle, forest superintendent of the Coeur d'Alenes, more than 200. Many of them have been stricken blind and others have broken limbs. Rewards Center of Autolst Rewards Captor of Autolist. New York—John Denna, the chap- man of the office. Edward T.

"The Memory Lingers" POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Battle Creek, Mich. NEW YORK FARMERS HEAR ADDRESS BY ROOSEVELT Starting on His Western Tour, the Colonel Speaks to Agriculturists Near Utica, Dwelling Especially on Need of Bettering the Condition of Country Life. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 23—Theodore Roosevelt took an opportunity this evening to show that he is in earnest in his desires to better the conditions of farm life in America. He delivered the first address of his tour through the west to a gathering of the farmers of Oneida and Herkimer counties, and much of his talk was about existence in the country and the ways in which it may be made more tolerable. Mr. Roosevelt reached Utica in the afternoon and was given a hearty reception by the citizens. He did not stop here long, however, but with his party boarded trolley cars for Oriskan and thence to Summit Park, about ten miles out, where he talked to the farmers. His address follows; There are no two public questions of more vital importance to the future of the economy, and the problem of the formation and the problem of the betterment of rural life. Moreover, these two problems are really independent of the other, and these really solved save on condition that there is at least a measurable success in the effort to the future of the country. The effect is to the more physical asset—the physical asset more valuable than any other—is the more the economic development of every kind, and the most of course, means the conservation of the soil as the great natural resource; and it is the most of course, furthermore, similar to the development of country assets. It cannot be a permanent improvement of the soil if the life of those who live on the land is not a better source of the future, but to the extent to strive and languish, to become stunted and weazed and inferior to the type of life lived elsewhere. We are not the only people who are the most plotation by individuals, but for the permanent benefit of the whole people, the whole life is the most important. In the primarily as a means of adding to the fertility of the soil, although in each case there is a great secondary function, the use of the land is the most important for commercial and industrial purposes. In the same way it is essential for the farm-use of the people who live in the area of the country, of the man who live in the open country; to make it more attractive to give it every adunct and also to develop the use of the land. Therefore, it is the only one of the man of the cities. Therefore, friends, the conservation and rural life policies are the only one of the man of the country, and the down at bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the need, he steadily takes the right for the future. Problem of Cities' Growth. In one sense this problem with which we have to deal is very, very old. Wherever civilizations have hitherto sprung up in the past, they have certain states and then to fail. No nation can develop a real civilization without cities. Up to a certain point the city was a place of great importance, a strange and lamentable fact that all ways hitherto after this point has been reached the city has tended to develop into a city of great importance, the country of what is best in it, and making an insignificant return for this best. In consequence, in the past every city has been made really to witness those conditions under which "the cities prosper and the men decay". There are unyly signs that the city has been made really to serve the needs of ours. But very fortunately we see now what never before was seen in any civilization—an aroused and alert public interest in the problem, a record of the city and a desire to attempt its solution. The human side of the rural life problem is to make the career of the farmer attractive and a permanent occupation and sparing careers in the city. Now, I am well aware that the farmer must himself be an educator of a keen farm of the century and a quarter ago the wise English farmer, Arthur Young, wrote of the efforts to improve schools of the old farm of 4,000 acres would in a few years do more for their wools than all the academies and centuries. It is absurd to think that any man who has studied the subject only theoretically is fit to direct those who are practical friends. I wish to insist to you here-to-you practical man, who own and work your farm, your university for the practical man to refuse to benefit by the work of the student. The English farmer I have quoted, among others, has been a scientific farmer. One reason why the great business men of today—the great industrial leaders—have gone into the university, come into a scientific farmer, behind others, is that they are far more willing, and indeed eager, to profit by expert and technical knowledge come into a suit of the highest education. From railways to factories no great industrial concern the farm is the aide of a swarm of men who have received a high technical education in chemistry, in engineering, in electrical engineering, but no one has trained a railway man, does not ask college-trained experts to tell him how to run his business; but he has no expert advice and aid on some one point indispensable to his business. He finds this man usually in some area of a technical school or university, that he has been trained for his life work. Farmer Needs Technical Advice. In just the same way the farmers should benefit by the advice of the technicians and the teachers in the phases of the very work the farmer does. I am not now speaking of the man who should undoubtedly be such a training as a farm worker, but rather whether in school or college. While there should undoubtedly be such a training as a farm worker to the kind of work each boy intends to do as a man, it is nevertheless true that our educational system should move from the farm towards the school, educating men towards, and not away from, the farm and the village. During the school years we should develop a system of agricultural education at once practiced in the farm, but not in the school, it. But, developing it, it must be used.

If long enough continued, such sounds will produce an evil condition of man who spends a fortune upon the farm, with entire indifference to cost does not do much good to farming; but on the other hand, just as little is done by the working farmer who stoolily refuses to profit by the knowledge of the day; who treats any effort at improvement as absurd on its face, refuses to countenance what he regards as new-tangled ideas and contrivances, and jeans as "book farming." I wish I could take representative of this type of farm-er down to Long Island, who is live, have them see Long has been done not as philanthropy but as a plain business proposition, by men connected with the Long Island railroad, who believe it pays to encourage the development of farms along the line of that railway. They have put practical men in charge of experimental farms, cultivating them intensively, and using the best modern methods, not only in raising crops, but in securing the best market for the crops when raised. The growth has been astounding, by land only fifty miles from New York, which during our entire National lifetime has been treated as a worthless, has within the last three or four years been proved to doings. A really, bly-waving The farmer, however, must not only make his land pay, but he must make sure his wife is paid for his wife and his sons and daughters. Farmers should learn how to combine labor and capital to produce crops. I am particularly able to speak to the Grange, for I heartily believe in farmers' cooperation. Every step taken towards an increasing co-operation Among farmers. The importance of estimated; and through such intelligent joint action it will be possible to improve the farm. Country life should be as attractive as city life, and the country people should represent when it comes to dealing with all great public questions. In other words, country folks should deal with all great public questions with city folks in all such matters. They should have their share in the city, and should have their share in the cities; in short of all the organized bodies for laying plans for great enterprises, they should not have their right-of-way, and should be represented and movements in the social condition of the country is involved, and the country should be as well represented as the city. The man of the open country is apt to have more qualities than the city man and his slimness, and the city man and his slimness, and the country talent be given the same opportunity as the city talent to exert themselves and the country talent to give the welfare of the world in which we live. The country church should be made a true social centre, allive to every need and to the individual outlook and development, taking the lead in work and in recreation, caring more for conduct than for material possessions, making practical betterment than for merely formal plety. The country fair offers far greater possibilities for continuous development and investment affords. The country school should be made a vital center for economic, social, and educational co-operation; it should be a place for those engaged in commercial farming, and still more for those engaged in owning and by the small forms they themselves own. The problem of the farm is really the problem of the family that needs to be educated, there is need of intelligent study, such as marks the books of Professor Bailey, of Cornell, and of Sir Horace W. Life Problems of the United States." One feature of the problem should be recognized by the farmer at once, and an effort must be made with it. It can be facilitated by the owner of whatever slider the farmer laborer exacts as we consider the farmer. No country life can be satisfactory. The owner of working their farms; and, moreover, the laborer is not going away to live in cities instead of working their farms; and, moreover, the laborer is not going away to be met, and during another part of the year to mand for labor at all, so that the farmers tend to rely on migratory laborers with no permanent interest in it and with no prospect of steady employment. The farmer is a good citizen of a man who can't count upon some at leastness and continuity in the work which means the farmer is housing for the farmer to shape the conditions on the farm—in variety and kind of crop-growing, especially as distributed time for housing for the farmer it possible for the man who labors for the farmer to be steadily employed and it possible for the man who respects and tend for his development. A Strange Fatality. An unusual fatal accident happened at New York when a sheet of window glass knocked from its frame fell five stories and killed Miss Lena Phillips. The plume of glass which became unfastened while being washed, sailed obliquely through the air and struck the neck of Miss Phillips, who was walking on the street below. Rats as Human Food.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON Peculiarly Favorable Field There for the Specialist in Acoustic Course of Tuberculosis Only twenty-one prisoners in fifteen states and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculosis prisoners. These institutions can accommodate, however, only 800 patients. In three-fourths of the cases, the prisoners are all the jails of the country the tuberculosis prisoner is allowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon his habits. When the congregate mode of prison life is considered, the danger of infection becomes greater than in the state of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts are the only states where any systematic attempt has been made to transfer all tuberculosis prisoners to one central institution. The largest prison tuberculosis hospital is in Manila, where accommodations for 200 prisoners are provided. Next largest in Clinton prison hospital in New York, which provides for 150.

Last winter he was ill, so I did he didn't have any sense of humor left nor any sense either. I was staying at the same hotel, and when I went in to look after him he virtuously remarked that his room was no place for a 'Chorus Lady' and promptly shooed me out. (A few years ago I spanked that kid.) Then he got scared and sent for a doctor and the doctor sent for a trained nurse. For several days I put bulletins in progress from the chapard.

It Was a Grand Success in Every Way- Some of the Wealthiest and Best Men of the Race Were There. Below we publish a synopsis from several addresses so one can get an idea of the session. Roosevelt Speaks to the Negroes. Washington, August 19 — Theodore Roosevelt has "come back" for the Negro. Nobody doubted this today as the Colonel, robust and red-cheeked, stood facing the 2,500 Negroes who had met at Palm Beach National Negro Business League, and was cheered, re-cheered and finally offered the black man's support in the election of 1912. "We will give you any promotion you wish—if you can be promoted," he said. Bishops of North Carolina, in thankking the Colonel for his speech. "It is a real pleasure to be here," said the colonel. "I want to say first how glad I am to see here certain of those whom I appointed to the army. I want to see their race in the way they performed their duty. As we are here in New York, I know other men Anderson, who was the first colored man to hold a high position under the federal government in this state. It will be easier, in view of his request to appoint other men to high office." After oppressing his delight that the Business league was not in politics, Mr. Roosevelt got at some striking statistics on Negro pro-police officers. "There were no drug stores owned by Negroes. Now there are two hundred. Black men now control nearly 5,000 general stores and more than 400,000 homes are now owned by Negroes. They own and occupy 200,000 farms. All this represents real progress. It is, of course, the duty of the white man to render aid to the Negro enterprise. The good American can subscribe to the motto "All men up and not some men down." If in any community the Negro quarter is wretched and one of potential criminality, there is as much of men to be in that condition as to the black. "You colored men and women set your faces like flint against those who would preach to you only the gospel of hate, envy, and bitterness. Realize that the only way to help people with dignity and hatred, by by leading your people up to prosperity through good citizenship." Growth of Negro Insurance. In spite of the negro death rate, however, the Negro insurance companies have developed almost by leaps and bounds. In 1909, $114,525 was paid to beneficiaries by the Negro Carolina, said G. W. Powell of Durham, N. C. "My company," declared C. S. Spalding of the same city, "collected about eleven years of money we collected more than $20,000. Sunbeam been the progress of Dr. W. A. Attaway of Greenville, Miss. Th. T. Jackson, Pittsburg, Fa. and E. F. Johnson of Richmond Va., starting in 1909, rising to places of confidence and enmine in the business soft insurance. Give Employment to Race. A popular feature of all these businesses was that of giving employees the opportunity to give to our boys and girls employment to suit their taste, and 'or which they are fitted,' said Dr. Ataway of Mississippi. "The C. F. Boys' School, the Boys'孵孵 500 Negroes, beginning some years ago with three," declared E. S. Peters, in a very thrilling paper, while G. W. Powell of Durham, N. C., and the companies in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, employed 2,000 workmen of one kind or another. Thus, too, testified the drug stores, the banks, the mills, dry zoos and the working for a very large number of Negro boys and girls. Booker T. Wasbington DeJorcs Lrunching. In the midst of these discussions came the annual address of the president, Booker T. Washington, the first African-American to be given "T." hath, it shall be given." Dr. Washington told his hearers that the black people of this country had increased from practically nothing to more than $100,000,000 of America were adding from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 to their possessions every year. Then shifting to the laws, he said: "I plead for a just enforcement of the laws. I speak with sorrow and with a sense of shame and humiliation when I call attention to the fact that I have been in the days during the press summer twenty-six colored men were wautonly murdered by mobs—shot down or hanged as if they had been so many wild beasts. In one case, I saw a man with no arm and a sheriff of the county, a southern white man, says: 'Men were gone out killing negroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I am aware, without any just cause. These Negroes were not that I could discover.' What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. What a blush of shame does such barbarous behavior seem to be. Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatsoever a man or nation sows, that shall it also reap.' Wonderful Growth of Banks. Nothing has been more surprising than the growth of Negro banks under the fostering care of the Negro Business league. Eleven years ago, the bankers known to be in existence. The bankers' association represented by A. N. Johnson of Memphis. Teen, now reports .37, with such substantial men as Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., also. Dr. Attaway Strathear, Bowman Howard of the Bank of New York, Navarre, NV, and Dr. Pettetofe of Bingham, at their heads. Aside from taking in cautiously the black man's money and financial interest the Negro bank appears to be an agent in the south to develop race friendliness. The white bankser came and helped us two days in opening, said Banker Brown of Norfolk, Va. "Our re- tions are most cortial" was the unanimous sentiment expressed by Dr. Petteford and Bond, two bankers of Birmingham; by P. S. Howard of Jackson, Miss.; by A. N. Johnson, Bainbridge; by A. N. Johnson and J. C. Napier of Memphis and Nashville, respectively, and by Cashier Taylor of the True Reformers' bank, Richmond, Va. Indeed, it appeared that the white banks were helped by the banking banks as the deposits of the white banks had in most cases increased since the Negro banks were chartered. Social Attraction. So large has grown the interest of the National Negro Business League that not only have the bankers, funeral directors and press association grown out of it, but it now seems to attract the flower of colored men. To see many of our best women, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Mrs. B. T. Washington, Mesdames Charles Banks and Charles Frances of Mound Bayon, Mrs. John Hope of Atlanta, Mrs. Lucas of Meridian, Miss, Mrs. Kemp of Brooklyn, Mrs. Jameson of Topeka, Mrs. Jameson of national prominence lends quest to the oca-SEVEN—Bystander Aug 26 sion, relieving the situation of an excessive sense of cold formal business. Equally inspiring as it is to encounter hundreds of big men of real Wall street portilless, yet men who ten and twenty years ago were just over the line of poverty. Bishop Cottrell of Mississippi, M. Court, Lawyer Boston, Lemonthe of New Orleans, and men of this stamp represent a spirit cr impression not measured by their coin of realm. Progress of Women Equally thrilling is the story of the women, whose league is also affiliated with the national organization. Miss Clara Price, of Greater Boston, is a member of the hair manufacturer and manicurist. "I have trained 152 colored girls, who are doing excellent work," she said. Following her, Whererizen women in business. "She has never stolen, never cheated, never fleeced a tenant, nor betrayed a trust in business," said she. "The woman is not only fit for the some or for any job, but also she is home, reliable and true to her trust." Affiliated Workers. The bankers, the funeral directors, the press association, the two later formed last year at Louisville, are developing rapidly into efficient aids of the League. Holding each meeting on Tuesday the day before, the finance department its session, they gave an impetus to the big organization which made it successful meeting yet held. The sentiments of these affiliated organizations were strong and went into action. The bankers grew and ready to be reckoned with. "The bankers must educate the people," was the moto of the Negro financiers; to teach them how to save, how to handle checks, how to "aggregate capital so that property can be sold," Our people lose property because, after they have made a purchase, paying say half down, they are unable at the required time, to complete their payments"; remarked Dr. Fettford, the father of Negro banks. Our bankers, after his bank taught Negroes how to save and how to invest. The funeral directors showed great progress in their organization, growing from a mere handful a few years ago, to more now than 200. The organization most rapidly also in wealth. 'The men of the press displayed great enthusiasm at their gathering. They contended for placing news getting on a cash basis, and we were told that we must we prove that we mean business,' said President R. W. Thompson of Washington, D. C., I have no doubt that the day will come when many of us will have associated press offices. Boothen Washington also speaks in behalf of Negro press. At the very introduction of his annual address, President Washington spoke fervently in behalf of the Negro press. Said he: "Let no one doubt or question in the future, the value and influence of the Negro newspaper. Though it may be a seemingly small and insignificant sheet with a limp circulation reaching the people, this paper has nevertheless, this negro paper has its influence. More and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead with all the earnestness that I can command for the generous and con- dential support of the Negro press. This support should come from the masses of our people, but in the especial degree it should come from the man of education, from the man who is engaged in some business enterprise. Such support, however, should be given to the Negro press will have, where are few agencies which, together with the church and the school, have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this support is of poverty, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publishers. "As each delegate and visitor to this League returns to his home, I hope he will carry with him a resolve that in the future he will see the newspaper has his hearty support and co-operation." Little Rock Next Time. A thrilling speech by Mr. Willard, president of the Anna T. Jeans fund, and by Bishop Cottrell League, president of the League bade farewell to New York. "It was the most successful meeting in its history. There were more delegates from the outside states present, more than twenty-five superpowers and more than them came in very large numbers.
