Thus far the Blagburn cases have been inadvertently delayed, put off, or continued, hoping that the Jew, who have been drawing the color line could be taken away from the Blagburn without going to court and be beaten, as he is sure to be. He has even made several propositions to settle with Mr. Blagburn, but Mr. Blagburn and his friends don't want to settle it or court it, or declare that when a citizen is excluded on account of his color they have violated the statutes of Iowa. The charge that Blagburn had against the officer for neglect of duty that came up in court, decided that the officer was not guilty. What hypocracy? These commissioners are a sham. They don't amount to anything good and ought to be abolished. The men composing this commission are cheap and this case will not have any bearing on the assault or the civil suit. A GRAND RECITAL.

Possibly one reason why seroplanes are not being made safer is that accidents help swell the gate receipts. Women would do well to let aviation alone until you would have made a greater success of it. A paragrapher asks: "What is a perfect wife?" The only answer we can give is: "How old is Ann?" Flying from New York to San Francisco is just as dangerous as flying from San Francisco to New York. An Illinois judge has decided that Reno divorces are not good in Illinois. Have your divorce papers made trans-sirable. A New Jersey man became the fourth husband of his third wife the other day. Birds of a feather do flock together. Whenever there is a great disaster in this country you are sure to find heroes who gave or risked their lives for others. No, brother, the anti-pistol toting law in New York was not passed for the purpose of stopping the hold-ups in Wall street. A baby's cry saved six people from being asphyxated. Let us learn to be prepared for crying babies. They may come in handy. Mr. Malcolm McDowell puts the hobo's cost of living get four cents a day. But he falls to tell how the hobo gets the four cents.

Brooks* comet is said to be composed of illuminating gas and cyanogen, but the scare manufacturers cannot frighten us after the Halley hoax. A Cleveland judge granted six divorces in ten minutes each. At the normal rate of arithmetical progression, if he could do that well in Ohio, what a home-breaking record he could establish in Nevada! A Greek couple in Connecticut waited 24 hours at a church for a priest to come from Boston to marry them, so evidently they had made up their minds. A New York woman has just received $200,000 from the husband she ran away from to join a younger man. Which shows how grateful he was. A Pittsburgh scientist says that Andrew Carnegie looks like the eardrum of a whale. That man need not waste his time performing any heroic action. A western man has asked the Philadelphia police to find him a nice wife. Great goodness, does he think anything to do with "mice" people! A Stanford, Conn., woman who died recently had read the Bible through sixty times. We presume after the third of fourth time she ceased to skip to the last chapter to see how it was going to end. A Massachusetts woman mistook her husband for a burglar and shot him as he was crawling in the back window about midnight. She still insists, however, that he got what was coming to him, even if he was innocent of the charge of burglar. Chicago has a preacher who says he will go to the theater whenever he feels that way, and that it's none of the congregation's business. As far as we are concerned, he is at liberty to take in even the moving picture shows. Astronomers have discovered that the new comet has a tail. Now we will be kept, in the usual harrowing suspense as to whether it is going to join preachers popular crusade and sweat the earth. Now a young woman wants a divorce from her husband because he has not spoken to her for six years and she charges such silence is cruel and inhuman.

PEKING IS UNEASY MORE EDICT8 BY CHINEBE EM PEROR MEAN END OF MANCHU RULE. PENSIONS TO BE STOPPED General Situation is Most Serious—Both Warrant Factions Fear Massacre—Foreigners Leave Capital and Legations Strengthen Guards. Peking, China—The state of terror which has taken possession of the entire imperial court was further shown by a long list of edicts supplementing the remarkable proclamation and offering further concessions of the most radical character. The edicts indicate that even though the dynasty survived, the imperial government is the transfer of cabinet offices to native Chinese is ordered. The national assembly has voiced its approval of the throne's action. The revolutionists say "it is too late." A state of panic prevails in Peking, Shanghai, Hongkong and Canton, as well as nearly every small place in empire, over the fear of resistance, the Chinese and Manchus regarding other with mutual distrust, and fear. The transfer of all cabinets offices to native Chinese is one of the principal points in the edicts, and the throne gives the promise that hereafter Manchus and Chinese will be "saved." This means that the system of pension by which practically every Manchu has been given money for years has been abolished and the Manchu will have to get out and earn his living like any other Chinaman. The edicts were a complete response to the demands of the national assembly. The general situation is perhaps more tense than at any time since the revolution began. The Manchus fear the invasion of the capital by the rebels, while the Chinese are in dread of a possible massacre by the Manchus. The foreign legations and missions are besieged by persons clamoring for protection, the streets are filled with carts carrying the valuables and money of the wealthy celebrities to pleas for protection. The crowded trains are crowded to capacity with Manchus fleeing for safety—mainly to the extreme north. The legations are taking the most careful precautions against any eventuality. The guards have been greatly strengthened and there has been some fortifying of legation walls. The Manchus, who, for the first time in generations, are cut off from their pensions, talk of massacre for revenge. There are 800,000 Chinese and 100,000 Manchus in the city. It is massacred by the native Chinese at Prince Tasi Tao, an uncle of the infant emperor, Pi Yu, is willing to lead the Manchus in their massacre. Peking —The throne in a last effort to appease the revolutionists issued an imperial edict redistributing offices in the cabinet.

TOBACCO PLAN HIT INDEPENDENTS SAY IT WILL NOT RESTORE COMPETITION. Attorney General Suggests Restrictions by Court to Prevent Possible Reformation of Trust. New York—The plea for reorganization of the tobacco trust submitted by the American Tobacco company and co-demandants to the government anti-trust suit was both praised and condemned before the circuit court judges of the United States for the southern district of New York. After Attorney General Wickersham had filed the government's answer to the law, Lewis C. Leddy, arguing for the defendants, insisted that it was an honest plan to comply with the Supreme court's mandate for a reorganization that will restore competition in compliance with the terms of the Sherman anti-trust law. Independent manufacturers, dealers, and producers of tobacco unanimously disapproved the plan on the ground that it is a sharp proposal to divide the properties, control of which still would be retained by the group of individuals now dominating the industry. Louis D. Brandsel of Boston made the principal argument against the proposal. The purpose of the attorney general did not accuse general opposition to the dissolution plan, but contained for the guidance of the court many restrictions deemed necessary to assure restoration of competition in the tobacco industry. ROADS ARE HIT BY COURT Supreme Body's Decision Victory for Commission—Carriers Must Comply With Law. Washington—The United States Supreme court, in an opinion by Justice Van Devanter, gave broad powers to the interstate commerce commission to interpret the federal safety shipment law. It virtually eliminates state railroad commissions from control of roads within the state. The court held that the law is violated when a car, not properly equipped under the act, is used on a railway doing an interstate business, to carry shipments from one point in a state to another point within the same state. This takes cases of this character out of the jurisdiction of state railway commissioners and force the commission to comply with the railroads of the country by the interstate commerce commission. The opinion of the court was given in a case brought by the government against the Southern Railway company in which it was alleged that couplers were out of repair on cars and that they were in the state of Alabama and which were destined to points within the state.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Reading ought to be called one of the fine arts, as indeed it is. It furnishes the opportunity of taking in the thoughts of great authors and the ability to impart these thoughts to others. A prominent educator has given this brief definition: "Reading is getting through." But it is more than this, it is the bringing out the thought and feeling of the author in such a manner as to make the hearers see and feel with the reader. The reader who falls short of this end has not read. When Eraa read the law to the people they wopt because the reading was We too frequently listen to poor pulpit reading. For such reading there is no excuse. Every minister ought to study his Bible so thoroughly, especially the chapters he is going to read on any given occasion, that his hearers are made to feel that he is fully possessed of the thoughts contained in the passages he is reading. He is taught that God is talking to the people. A minister should therefore be prepared to read well, and not get up to thunder ever the Scriptures. Word-calling is not reading. To read well one must be effective. He must make his hearers feel what he is reading. Our church services often fall at the beginning on account of ineffective reading by the pastor. The Bible is poorly read; the hymns are poorly read. If the hymns are poorly read, the pulpit reading in such a way that the people cannot see the connection between the hymns and the subject of the sermon. How readest thou, Brother Minister? Be careful as to your manner of reading, for much of your success as a preacher will depend on your good reading—Southern Ploughman. One of the greatest tragedies of human slavery was the breaking up of family ties, especially the selling of children away from their mothers. Was this tragedy ended in the United States when Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation? Frederick E. Bauer, superintendent of the children's bureau of the department of public charities, is authority for the statement that between 3,000 and 4,000 children are taken from their parents every year in New York city because the rising cost of living submerges the family, making it impossible for parents to care for their children. They are taken for by charitable institutions, and a beautiful charity it is. But so far as the sentiment of parental and filial love is concerned, does it make so very much difference whether the family is broken at the auction block or at the empty breakfast table? Broken families mean broken hearts as much now as in the days "befoah de war"—Toledo News-Bee. The Religious Forward movement, a brand new thing, with plenty of big money and sentiment behind it, has begun to move. The purpose is to carry the Gospel to those in the highways and by-ways of the large cities who are not now reached by religious organizations, and surprised to see a Salvation Army band marching down a side street in Yokohama, Japan, playing "Shall We Gather at the River?" While all sorts of movements are organized or being organized, to reach and help better the moral condition of every nationality in the republic, very little is done to reach and help better the morals of our people out of his salvation in his own way. His churches must broaden out their work. The negro needs his own Christian Temperance unions, rescue missions and homes, settlement works, Young Men's and Young Women's Christian associations, Salvation Armies and the like—New York Age. If it can be successfully shown that Mercoe is the real birthplace of Egyptian civilization the negro's part in it is settled. All of the traditions relating to this ancient city connect the same with the indubitably negro Nugulans. All the centuries of conquest and pillage have not succeeded in changing to any perceptible degree the race affiliation of its inhabitants. They have always been a hearty, warlike group of men and are so today. It is known that the negro civilization was introduced to Greece and became the nucleus around which modern civilization has grown. When the world grows older it is possible that negro scholars will establish this fact beyond doubt and thus place the negro race at the source of the stream of civilization from the ever flowing banks of which he is supposed to be slaking his thirst for the first time. Some Afro-American pastors would lose their jobs as hod-carriers if they neglected it as they do paying their subscriptions to their race papers. If you discontinue it then they how), and if you continue to mail it then they say I thought you would have discontinued it when the time had expired. If you write them you get an answer as quick as if your had written to the moon or the sun. Surely Afro-American editors find Jordan a hard road to travel.—Cadis (Ky.) Informer. Our leaders need to talk more business and let the other unnecessary topics take care of themselves for while. We spend too much time in dealing with rivolous subjects. Let us talk business and awaken interest and enthusiasm among our people. The opportunities for the young, energetic, cultured and educated man are numerous. Prepare yourselves, for openings in the various branches of industry are calling for you from every section of the country. The tenant farmers are planning to have a convention at an early date and to perfect an organization for mutual protection. One writer pictures the condition of the white tenant farmer as being rather hopeless and his prospects as discouraging. Statistics show that the number of these farmers is steadily on the increase, and their chances for owning any land are rapidly disappearing. Owing to a different and a much wider field of living the negro tenant farmer is good both for himself and landlord. The tenant finds it difficult to exist. This different standard of living is an important factor in our favor, and it is enabling the negro to "get by" in countless instances. The most striking illustration of this point came to our notice recently. Mr. F—— is a worker in concrete and makes $2.50 a day. By his side a white man does the same sort of work and gets $2.50 a day. The colored man pays $60 month house rent and the white man does $15. The colored man's family does $15. The resulting—and that of the white man's family—Say what you please we still have a fighting chance if we will only make use of it. Our chief danger and temptation is in trying to lead an aeroplane existence on a subway salary.—Dallas Express. Up until a few years ago the negro was thought to be the chief among sinners in the use of English. His frequent disregard for grammar, and his quaint expressions make negro diactect one of the most picturesque, in this country. But another dialect is being developed by the Dagos which, for downright outlandishness, puts that of the negro in the background. A Dagos had ordered a windmill and a canoe, but it he had spent several days trying to valve. Finally he found it, but the handle was missing, and then he wrote the following letter to the freight agent: "Mester Fratenmanns, Dere Frem: I gotta the vafy which I by from S. Nalrite but why for godsake doom you sen me no handle. I Loose to my customer shure ting. You doun trete me life my money not so good as other fellows. I wate 10 daze and my Customer holler for watter liga he the valve, the wind he no blow the heel and the valve gotta no handle wat the hel I goin do, you no send handle pretty quick I goin go you goodby you friend. Antonio Duramino. "After I rite these letter I fine bimbe hand—in box please" excuse me." In a recent editorial convention a minister was present and offered the following toast: "To save an editor from starvation take his paper and pay for it promptly; to save him from despair, send him every item you can get hold of; to save him from rupture, deliver it in his paper liberally; to save him from profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as soon as possible; to save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who never make mistakes." Equally pertinent is the toast on "Girls," written by a modern verse maker, and which is as follows: "A health to the girl that can dance like a dream." And the girl that can pound the piano; A heath to the girl that writes verse by the ream by the ream Or toys with high C in soprano; To the girl that can talk, and the girl that does not that does not; To the saint and the sweet little sinner— But here is the cleverest girl of the lot, The girl that can cook a good dinner! The editor enjoyed his first automobile experience on the evening of the 20th bill, when as one of a parish priest of Messrs. G. W. Lassmut, Mose Thomas and Messrs. Waldauer and Walker, prominent white gentlemen of Mergigold, and Mr. R. M. McCarty of this town, a quick run was made from Mound Bayou to McCarty's and return. The experience was a somewhat novel one for us as it will be, doubtless for any one who rides in one of these cars for the first time. They told us that we were not going fast but at times it seemed to us that we must have been "scorching" or else we are satisfied that we would not enjoy the scorching experience—Mound Bayou Demonstrator. Will Jack Johnson and Sam Langford come together in Madison Square garden at New York, after all, and settle the vexed question as to which of them is the greater master of First cann? The spory hope and talk are all that way. Johnson and Langford and Jeannette occupy more space in the daily newspapers and more of the public attention than all of the other 9,989,987 negroes in the United States. When they speak with their fathers or tongues they have in mind a world for once, they are fickle jade, in another brawn—brute force. The farmers of this county have made good cotton crops and are getting good prices for it. Don't forget to invest a few dollars in the negro bank. Excursion time will soon be out, and it will leave you excursion followers broke as ghosts. Be moderate in excursions, for there is little in them. Negroes are learning the value of land in all sections of the state. They are becoming interested and are purchasing city property and farms. Educational Conditions in Little Republic Are Not of Best. APPROPRIATIONS SMALL APPROPRIATIONS SMALL VERY LITTLE MONEY, EXPENDED BY GOVERNMENT FOR THE EDUCATION OF LIBERIAN CHILDREN. Monovia, Liberia.—The state department has been apprised of the early coming of Reid Paige Clark, recently designated by President Taft to serve under the general direction of the government of Liberia as collector general of customs. Both the government officials and the citizens generally are deeply grateful to the American government for keeping before them the grant recommended by last commissioners of the United States, looking to the rehabilitation of Liberia as an independent government. Liberia needs all the help she can secure along the lines recommended by the American commission, but what it needs quite as much as is from philanthropic sources to help to establish a school system which she serve to put within the reach of child in Liberia at least primary and secondary education. A resume of educational conditions in Liberia may be of interest. Largely as a result of the pitiful condition of the Liberian finances, education within the republic is in a decorable state. Owing to the fact that there has been for years a large floating debt, it is extremely difficult to ascertain with any degree of accuracy what have been the real cash receipts of the government in recent years. A certain part of this debt has been cancelled each year, but a new debt often greater in amount has been created to take the place of which has been cancelled. The Liberian public finances of this debt have the bondage of this debt. A business man with good credit may and does find a profit in stepping in debt when he is constantly increasing his means of payment. But let his ventures become unprofitable, so that the debt grows faster than means of payment, and he soon finds himself engulfed. Finances in Pitable Condition: The case is rarer where a government can maintain a floating or indefinently, because of its resources or a rule profitable in the case of profit making. In rare cases does government expenditure result in an enhancement of government receipts. In Liberia this floating debt is not contracted, as in the case of governments with well - ordered finances, by means of the issue of short-term obligations, but through advances in goods by the local merchants. It is needless that these goods are charged to the government at short prices, and that the amount of debt increases and the amount of payment becomes more remote, the prices increase. This may seem to be wandering a long way from education, but the point which seems essential at the outset is a clear comprehension of the fact that debt charges, direct or indirect, absorb a large proportion of the Liberian revenues. Estimating these nominal receipts of the last few years at 890,000, it is quite clear that not only are $250,000 in reality either in the form of cash or credit for the general purposes of the government. With a population variously estimated at 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, the problem of administering a government with no more than $250,000 a year is no easy task, however primitive the government may be. The maintenance of a framework of enforcement and the order of peace and order is formidable demands that must be met a pittance. However high among the functions of government we may rate the care of public education, it is clear that it is not so imperious a demand upon the public purse as these fundamental conditions of any body politic. If, then, as in the case of Liberia, the public purse is so shallow that these imperious demands almost drain its contents, it is not to be wondered at that little done by $250,000. Accompanied, Annually Only $25,000 Appropriated Annually for Elementary Schools FOR ELEMENTARY Theoretically, of Liberians recognition, education and the duty of the state to provide it. Practically, the state can offer so little and that little of so poor a quality that the people take only a half-hearted interest in it. The annual appropriation bills carry $25,000 for public elementary schools, and a subsidy of $12,500 for Liberia college. Of this $25,000 for public schools very little is actually available, and very little is spent. As a consequence, the few schools maintained are woefully deficient. Teachers are wholly untrained. Of knowledge they have very little; and the most haphazard and casual methods of impersonation all. Liberia college, like the denominational colleges of Liberia, is primarily an elementary school, with a so-called college attachment. In its upper reaches it covers the ground of a high school in a very imperfect and superficial manner. It is somewhat of a relief to turn from the public schools to those conducted by the churches.

Thus the two anxiously witnessed the younger negroes battle against the swirling current. The mule was pil institutions at Cape Palmers are commended by those who have seen them. In the College of West Africa, maintained by the Methodists in Monrovia, under Bishop I. B. Scott, the main work is that of the elementary school. Last year there were only three college students. The equipment is primitive, but the teachers are supervised by them from the United States and appear to have had the experience and training which fit them for their work. It seems that similar conditions prevail in the Episcopal institutions. Groundwork of Education is the Common School. I have dwelt upon the pitiful aspect of primary education in Liberia because I believe that whatever form of education may assume, its groundwork is the common school, and that industrial education can prosper except upon such a foundation. Moreover, I have avoided the common criticism of Liberian education, that time and money is wasted in Liberia college upon Latin and Greek to the neglect of other things far more important to citizens of Africa. This I do because Liberia college is not a college at all, but merely a large graded school, and the money expended upon it is concerned almost exclusively in the teaching of the common English branches. The foregoing has, I presume, made it clear that any institution which may be created in Liberia for any grade of higher education must, in the present deplorable condition of the elementary schools, maintain its own feeders. It must take the children at the earliest stages and give them which program they present for any special instruction that may be contemplated. In time, the burden upon the institution of supplying elementary education might be removed if one feature of the institution itself were a normal department. A normal department furnishing trained teachers to the common schools might so enhance the value of the education given in those schools that any institution of higher rank would heretofore be the principal of the elementary upon its own preparatory school, and might eventually abandon such a school and devote itself to the special ends for which it was created. Country Overrun by Clergymen. So far as there has been any outlook towards the higher education, there has been a distinct leaning towards the learned-professions of the bar and the ministry and thus indirectly for the public service. In L伯利亚 the profession of the ministry, so far from being a bar to public service, seems to be a direct preparation for it. At a recent church service, a portion of the Scriptures was read by the shear of the county, prayer offered by the postmaster general, the sermon was preached by an associate justice, the court, and the justice pronounced was pronounced by a member of the senate. The country is in fact overrun by clergymen, of whom but a small portion devote themselves to their profession. The great and crying need of the country is in technical education and in preparation for a more progressive agricultural and industrial occupation. There is, moreover, among the older generation a growing feeling that they have too long neglected the industrial opportunities of the country, and their speakers dwell with insistence upon the need of better farming and the need of productive occupation. it is encouraging that one of the exponents of this doctrine, E. Howard, president-elect of the treasury, is president-elect, so that we can count upon the influence of the future administration being directed as far as it can towards promoting the economic and industrial development of the country. The establishment at this time of an institution in Liberia, based on the lines of the Tuskegee institute, located in Alabama, U. S. A., would be one of the greatest blessings that could be conferred upon this country. Such an institution should have two quite distinct aims or departments. The first should be a normal department, for the need of which the foregoing statement gives demonstration. This normal demand is a necessary adjunct to the main purpose of such an establishment, in order that In time the general system of public education may be improved and the institution relieved of the necessity of giving elementary instruction and therefore putting it in a position to do a larger work along industrial lines. About Industrial Education. With regard to industrial education, in a country like Liberia, which is almost wholly agricultural, it is a matter of course that any industrial education should be based largely upon agriculture, because, however, we are distinctions between agriculture in the tropics and agriculture in temperate climes, which must be brought into the reckoning of any plan for the establishment of any agricultural school in the tropics. In temperate climates, the object of agricultural education is, in large measure, to educate workers. In the tropics the aim must be to educate overseers. Neither the white man must be planted from the United States in Africa can endure the hard physical labor which is necessary in agricultural pursuits in this climate. He must be able, however, to direct the labor force, which consists of the aborigines. It seems not improbable that this difference in the character of the work to be performed may indicate some differences in the training which is given. It is also clear that with agricul- tures should be associated instruction swimming low, the rider not showing except his head and shoulders above the water, when the saddle girth broke and the saddle and contents slipped off the animal behind, which allow- ed the faithful mule to partially emerge from the water. It was a critical moment, and watchers from opposite banks were anxiety. The imperiled boy clubbed the animal from the swimming animal, but the old negro evidently failed to note this and shouted: "Look to do. Lawd." in those handicrafts for which there is the greatest need in that country. These are, primarily everything connected with the construction of dwellings, both as to carpentry and as to masonry. In the towns a large part of the buildings are constructed of brick, stone or cement, and this form of construction is that which is best adapted to the tropics. The brick used is mostly imported, though at the time of construction the deal is derived from older buildings which have fallen into decay and which have broken up. Brick-making would also be a profitable industry. Special attention should be given to all kinds of cement work for the purposes of construction of houses, claustres and all kinds of drainage. Sanitary arrangements do not exist in the country and in the city are woofly primitive. A proper application cement construction to these necessitates only contributy to the health of the community, but would be valuable in establishing higher standards of decency and living. Room In Liberia for Trained Mechanics The center of the Americo-Liberian number of trained mechanics. The application of the gasoline motor to navigation of the St. Paul's river and in machine shops is increasing, and for the present it would seem that elementary knowledge of the principles and applications of mechanics and the care of machinery might well be made a subject of instruction. There has so far been little conscious effort to utilize native products to the best advantages. The teachers of an agricultural school could tender an enormous service to the country by the study of its natural resources, by the cultivation by way of exportation and demonstration of the use of the fruit as the coffee plant and possibly the sugar cane, and by introducing improved methods for the collection, preservation and shipment of such natural products as palm oil and kernels, plassava fiber and rubber. If such an institution were designed for both sexes, the industrial training of the girls would naturally be provided by a small school developed by the educational experts of the United States. The center of the America-Liberian population is Monrovia, and such a school as is needed should be located in or near this place. There is plenty of good agricultural land easily accessible to Monrovia, while the proximity to the town would in the first instance be an important factor in reducing the cost of the necessary supplies which, until the school is well established, must be largely purchased. New Era Dawning for Republic. No gift of the American people to the republic of Liberia could be more valuable for development of the country than such an institution. As an example of a wholly disinterested concern in the welfare of the republic, the gift would be most highly appreciated. The people of Liberia are the best advisers to the warring. They have placed themselves under the guidance of the United States of America, and they are looking forward to the advent of their advisers as the beginning of changed conditions. While these changes encounter the natural inertia which opposes any new movement, the present and future administrations of the country are in hearty accord with these changes. No more fitting time than the present could be imagined in which to establish such a government. The Liberian people as conclusive evidence that the interest the American government has taken in their welfare is as unselfish as those who have been concerned in this policy believe. Of course, the Europeans in Liberia cannot understand that the United States has no ulteror motive, and that it is actuated solely by considerations of national security, an educational institution as has been discussed would in a large measure counteract this influence of the foreigners now located in the country. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TAKES PRIVATE CAR EVADES TEXAS JIM CROW LAW BY CHARTERING A PULLMAN SLEEPER. Denison, Tex.—When Dr. Booker T. Washington was informed by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway that he must either ride in the compartment or be negro or has a special car to transport him from Austin to Temple, Doctor Washington demurred. But the Texas Jim Crow law is firmly enforced and the railroad officials could not afford to be accommodating. Doctor Washington later notified the railroad passenger agent that he wanted to be transported and chartered a special Pullman for the trip, which took place September 30. The distance from Austin to Temple is about 200 miles. LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE New York City—Hannah Mills, eighty years old, a colored widow woman without family, who lived in New York for more than fifty years, died a few days ago, leaving the savings of a lifetime which will go to her next of kin, if any can be found. Where Hannah Mills was born or her maiden name, unfortunately, is not known, but some years ago she spoke to a friend about a sister who lived up state having died. It is thought that this sister may have left children who would be Hannah Mills' heirs. Eph'um; look to de Lawd; look to de Lawd!" The more worldly son on the other bank was obviously skeptical about such advice under the circumstances, for he screamed out: "Nevah you min' lookin' to de Lawd.

NEGRO BANK AND BANKING DISCUSSED BY THE EMINENT FINANCIER, DR. W. R. PETTIFORD. Dallas, Tex.—About 500 people, representative of the negro population of Dallas, heard Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings bank, the pioneer of negro banking institutions from Ala., deliver a strong address at a mass meeting at Evening Chapel C. M. E. church. The mass meeting was held in the interest of the financial and commercial life of the negro people of the south and came at the close of the meeting of the committee on bank guarantee of the National Negro Bankers' association of which Mr. Pettiford is chairman. Dr. Pettiford urged his people to share their money and to develop a leadership in financial affairs equal to that of Booker T. Washington in educational matters. In the course of his address he said: "Since we cannot assimilate in the fabric of business on the basis of merit, which is in the interest of racial distinction, and is the mutual desire of both races, the white people owe their moral support and assistance to the negro people in their struggle to aggregate their money, build business, entering agricultural pursuits to supplement the work given black men by themselves. "We have assisted the men building this civilization, and now for reasons stated, we cannot reap the best results of our long toll together with the white man, it is only reciprocity for them to lend us their support. We must help them to help ourselves. The work before the leaders of the race is to build a civilization peculiar to the negro. For the same reason, the white man owes his assistance. "The making of opportunities on the farm, in manufacturing the raw material from the clay, forest and the soil, demands the co-operative effort of the whole race." "Building and maintaining banks is a part of that work. The Indian could not hold a place here, because he could not make the soil bring forth results by the touch of his hand. The nee' in the south has to profit by the experience of the American Indian." Other addresses were made by Dr. G. J. Jackson, who presided over the meeting; W. E. K. editor of the Dallas Express; Rev. J. S. Wytatt, presiding elder Dallas district, M. E. church; R. C. Houston, president Provident Savings bank, Fort Worth. R. E. Johnson, E. Johnson, presides Bank and Trust company, Muskogee, Okla. At the meeting of the guaranty committee at Penny Savings bank, all the details for working out and conducting the guaranty plan for negro banks was considered and finally adopted. Each negro bank will contribute $500 for the first year, the same to be deposited in the Alabama Penny Savings bank, Birmingham, Ala. The officers and directorate, together with the guaranty committee of the National Negro Bankers' association, will become the agents of the fund, which will be bonded and insured. Loans to banks in need will be made, graded according to the need, and each signatory bank must make monthly statements of their condition to the officers handling the fund. The guaranty committee declares under authority of the national association that no more negro banks shall fall, and signify their intention of throwing the whole strength of the National Negro Bankers' association be any weak bank to prevent a failure. On the guaranty committee were Dr. W. R. Petitford, Alabama Penny Savings bank, Montgomery, Ala.; Victor Tulane, Alabama Penny Savings bank, Montgomery, Ala.; J. J. Scott, Fraternal Savings bank, Memphis, Tenn.; J. E. Johnson, People Bank and Trust company, Muskegon, Okla., and G. I. Johnson, Perry Savings bank, Dallas, Tex. PUMPS VERSUS BATHS. The poor are dirty because they cannot afford to be clean and not frost inclination or choice. As the woman in an English town said to the doctor who thoughtlessly suggested that her child of six was old enough to be washed, "It's easy for you to tail: washin', with yer hot and cold taps, but what are the likes of me to do with only the loan of my neighbor's pump?" In the multitude of schemes occupation at the attention of public houses, it is essential to maintainence of public wash houses, with due regard to the prevention of the spread of infection, ought to take a foremost place—Medical Press and Circular. NEGRO POSTMASTER RESIGNS. Port Gibson, Mass.—Thomas Richardson, negro postmaster at this place 33 years, continuous with the exception of two years under President Cleveland, relinquished his position to R. W. Magruder, recently appointed postmaster, by turning over the post office and all records in good shape. Richardson was appointed by President Grant in 1870. Richardson has accepted a government position at Washington. PIANIST OFF FOR GERMANY. Laporte, ind.-Miss Hazel Harrison, a pianist of rare ability, has left for Gin, Germany, where she expects to live, before the family of Emperor William. RAISING THE WIND. Dannhauer would gamble his last cent. That was his great weakness. He went home one evening after a bad day. He looked tired. "Wife," he said, "have you got anything to eat?" "Yes, lots of things," the wife said. "Well, cook up everything you've got—everything." "Gracious! Are you that hungry?" "I'm not hungry at all. I'm going to sell the stove."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Reading ought to be called one of the fine arts, as indeed it is. It furnishes the opportunity of taking in the thoughts of great authors and the ability to impart these thoughts to others. A prominent educator has given this brief definition: "Reading is getting through." But it is more than this, it is the bringing out the thought and feeling of the author in such a manner as to make the hearers see and feel with the reader. The reader who falls short of this end not read. When Erra read the law to the people they wept because the reading was effects too frequently listen to poor pupil reading. For such reading there is no excuse. Every minister ought to study his Bible so thoroughly, especially the chapters he is going to read on any given occasion, that his hearsers are made to feel that he is fully possessed of the thoughts contained in the passages he is reading. While the Scriptures are read, God is talking to a single person. A minister is therefore be prepared to read well and not get up to blunder the Scriptures. Word-calling is not reading. To read well one must be effective. He must make his hearers feel what he is reading. Our church services often fall at the beginning on account of ineffective reading by the pastor. The Bible is poorly read; the hymns are poorly read. If the hymns be well selected they read in such a way that people cannot see the connection between the hymns and the subject of the ser- How readest thou, Brother Minister? Be careful as to your manner of reading, for much of your success as a preacher will depend on your good reading—Southern Ploughman. One of the greatest tragedies of human slavery was the breaking up of family ties, especially the selling of children away from their mothers. Was this tragedy ended in the United States when Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation? Frederick E. Bauer, superintendent of the children's bureau of the department of public charities, is authority for the statement that between 3,000 and 4,000 children are taken from their parents every year in New York city because the rising cost of living imposes the family, making it support them. They are cared for by charitable institutions, and a beautiful charity it is. But so far as the sentiment of parental and final loys is concerned, does it make so very much difference whether the family is broken at the auction block or at the empty breakfast table? Broken families mean broken hearts as much now as in the days "befoah de war."—Toledo News-Bee. The Religious Forward movement, a brand new thing, with plenty of big money and sentiment behind it, has begun to move. The purpose is to carry the Gospel to those in the highways and by-ways of the large cities who are not now reached by religious influences in the city, and to see to a Salvation Army band marching down a side street in Yokohama, Japan, playing "Shall We Gather at the River?" While all sorts of movements are organized or being organized, to reach and help better the moral condition of every nationality in the republic, very little is done to reach and help better the morals of the negro. He is left alone, to work in churches that must broaden out their work. The negro needs his own Christian Temperance unions, rescue missions and homes, settlement works, Young Men's and Young Women's Christian associations, Salvation Armies and the like—New York Age. If it can be successfully shown that Meroe is the real birthplace of Egyptian civilization the negro's part in it is settled. All of the traditions relating to this ancient city connect the same with the indubitably negro Numidians. All the centuries of conquest and pillage have not succeeded in changing to any perceptible degree the race affiliation of its inhabitants. They have always been a hearty, warlike race of men and are so today. Egyptian civilization and admitted that Egyptian civilization introduced to Greece and became the center of modern civilization has grown. When the world grows older it is possible that negro scholars will establish this fact beyond doubt and thus place the negro race at the source of the stream of civilization from the ever flowing banks of which he is supposed to beaking his thirst for the first time. Some Afro-American pastors would lose their jobs as hod-carriers if they neglected it as they do paying their subscriptions to their race papers. If you discontinue it then they howl, and if you continue to mail it then they say I thought you would have discontinued it when the time had expired.

Our leaders need to talk more business and let the other unnecessary topics take care of themselves for while. We spend too much time in dealing with frivolous subjects.

Prepare yourselves, for openings in the various branches of industry are calling for you from every section of the country. The tenant farmers are planning to have a convention at an early date and to perfect an organization for mutual protection. One writer pictures the condition of the white tenant farmer as being rather hopeless and his prospects as discouraging. Statistics show that the number of these farmers is steadily on the increase, and their chances for ever owning any land are rapidly disappearing. Owing to a different and a greater tenant farmer makes good both our himself and landlord where the white tenant finds it difficult to exist. This different standard of living is an important factor in our favor, and it is enabling the negro to "get by" in countless instances. The most striking illustration of this point came to our notice recently. Mr. F—— is a worker in concrete and makes $2.50 a day. By his side a white man does the same sort of work and gets $2.50 a day. The colored man pays $4 per month house rent and the white man pays $15. The colored man's family pays $15. That of the white man's family also! Say what you please we still have a fighting chance if we will only make use of it. Our chief danger and temptation is in trying to lead an aeroplane existence on a subway salary.—Dallas Express. Up until a few years ago the negro was thought to be the chief among sinners in the use of English. His frequent disregard for grammar, and his quaint expressions make negro dialect one of the most picturesque, in this country. But another dialect is being developed by the Dagos which, for downright outlandishness, puts that of the negro in the background. A Dago had ordered a windmill and a house he had spent several days trying to find a certain valve. Finally he found it, but the handle was missing, and then he wrote the following letter to the freight agent: "Messer Fratenmann, Dere Frehr: I gotta the valy which I by from S. Nalrite but why for godsake doan you sen me no handle. I Loose to my customer shure ting. You doan trete me life is my money not so good as other fellows.

In a recent editorial convention a minister was present and offered the following toast: "To save an editor from starvation take his paper and pay for it promptly; to save him from despair, send him every item you can get hold of; to save him from bankruptcy, in his paper liberality; to save him from profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as soon as possible; to save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who never make mistakes." Equally pertinent is the toast on "Girls, written by a modern veneer maker, and which is as follows: "A health to the girl that can dance like a dream. And the girl that can pound the video." A health to the girl that writes verse by the ream. by the team Or toys with high C in soprano; To the girl that can talk, and the girl that does not; To the saint and the sweet little carson But he learned to the cleverest girl of the lot. The girl that can cook a good dinner!" The editor enjoyed his first automobile riding experience on the evening of the 20th ult. when as one of a party composed of Messrs. G. W. Mastus, Mose Thomas and Messrs. Waldauer and Walker, prominent white gentlemen of Mertgold, and Mr. M. R. McCarty of this town, a quick run was made from Mound Bayou to McCarty's and return. The experience was a somewhat novel one for us as it will be, doubtless for any one who rides in one of these cars for the first time. They told us that we were not going fast but at times it seemed to us that we must have been "scorching" or else we are satisfied that we would not enjoy the scorching experience—Mound Bayou Demonstrator. Will Jack Johnson and Sam Langford come together in Madison Square garden at New York, after all, and settle the vested question as to which of them is the greater master of Fistica? The sporty hope and talk are all that way. Johnson and Langford and Jeannette occupy more space in the daily newspapers and more of the public attention than all of the other 9,989,997 negroes in the United States. When they speak with their fists or tongues they have a word of wisdom. Fumie is a fickle jade, in one age favoring brains, in another brawn—brute force. The farmers of this county have made good cotton crops and are getting good prices for it. Don't forget to invest a few dollars in the negro bank. Excursion time will soon be out, and it will leave you excursion followers broke as ghosts. Be moderate in excursions, for there is little in them. Negroes are learning the value of land in all sections of the state. They are becoming interested and are purchasing city property and farms. Educational Conditions in Little Republic Are Not of Best. APPROPRIATIONS SMALL APPROPRIATIONS SMALL VERY LITTLE MONEY EXPENDED BY GOVERNMENT FOR THE EDUCATION OF LIBERIAN CHILDREN. Monovia, Liberia.—The state department has been apprised of the early coming of Reid Paige Clark, recently designated by President Taft to serve under the general direction of the government of Liberia as collector general of customs. Both the government officials and the citizens generally are deeply grateful to the American government for keeping before them the program recommended by commissioners of the United States, looking to the rehabilitation of Liberia as an independent government. Liberia needs all the help she can secure along the lines recommended by the American commission, but what it needs quite as much is aid from philanthropic sources to help to establish a school system which shall serve to put within the reach of child in Liberia at least primary and secondary levels. A resume of normal conditions in Liberia may be of interest. Largely as a result of the pititable condition of the Liberian finances, education within the republic is in a desirable state. Owing to the fact that there has been for years a large floating debt, it is extremely difficult to ascertain with any degree of accuracy what have been the real cash receipts of the government in recent years. A certain part of this debt has been cancelled each year, but a new debt often greater in amount than has been created to take the debt that has been cancelled. Liberian public finances have the bondage of this debt. A business man with good credit may and does find a profit in debt when he is constantly increasing his means of payment. But let his ventures become unprofitable, so that the debt grows faster than means of payment, and he soon finds himself engulfed. Finances in Pitilable Condition. The case is rarer where a government can maintain a floating debt indefinitely, because its use of its resources is not as a rule prohibitive the sense of prudence. In rare cases does the government expenditure receive enhancement of government receipts. In Liberia this floating debt is not contracted, as in the case of governments with well-ordered finances, by means of the issue of short-term obligations, but through advances in goods by the local merchants. It is needless to say that these goods are charged at the government at cost of prices, and that as the dollar debt increases and the amount of payment becomes more remote, the prices increase. This may seem to be wandering a long way from education, but the point which seems essential at the outset is a clear comprehension of the fact that debt charges, direct or indirect, absorb a large proportion of the Liberian revenues. Estimating these nominal receipts of the last few years at $250,000, it is quite clear that not only are $250,000 in reality unlikely either in the form of cash or credit for the general purposes of the government. With a population variously estimated at 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, the problem of administering a government with no more than $250,000 a year is no easy task, however primitive the government may be. The maintenance of a framework of government and the preservation of order make the available demands of government a pittance. However high among the functions of government we may rate the care of public education, it is clear that it is not so imperious a demand upon the public purse as these fundamental conditions of any body politic. If, then, as in the case of Liberia, the public purse is so shallow that these imperious demands almost drain its contents, it is not to be wondered at that little is done with appropriation. An annual Only $25,000 Appropriated Annually for Elementary Schools for elementary school. Theoretically, the Liberians recognize the education and the duty of the state to provide it. Practically, the state can offer so little and that little of so poor a quality that the people take only a half-hearted interest in it. The annual appropriation bills carry $25,000 for public elementary schools, and a subsidy of $12,500 for Liberia college. Of this $25,000 for public schools very little is actually available, and very little is spent. As a consequence, the few schools maintained are woefully deficient. Teachers are whoily untrained. Of knowledge they have very little; of anything but the most hapasard and casual methods of importing it, nothing is all to the denominational colleges of Liberia, is primarily an elementary school, with a so-called college attachment. In its upper reaches it covers the ground of a higher school in a very imperfect and superficial manner. It is somewhat of a relief to turn from the public schools to those conducted by the churches. The Episco ADVICE IN A CRISIS. The Saline river Arkansas was out of its banks and swift flowing, owing to the heavy rains. An old negro and his two sons wanted to cross, each riding a mule. The older son ventured first and came up safely on the other bank. The younger went next, the father remaining to watch. remaining to witness Thus the two anxiously witnessed the younger negress's battle against the swirling current. The mule was pil institutions at Cape Palmats are commended by those who have seen them. In the College of West Africa, maintained by the Methodist in Mourovia, under Bishop I. B. Scott, the main work is that of the elementary school. Last year there were only three college students. The equipment is primitive, but the teachers and capa-cles are all of them from the United States and appear to have had the experience and training which fit them for their work. It seems that similar conditions prevail in the Episcopal institutions. Groundwork of Education Is the Common School. I have dwelt upon the pitiful aspect of primary education in Liberia because I believe that whatever forms education may assume, its groundwork is the common school, and that no professional, technical or industrial education can prosper except such an education that is more concerned with the common criticism of Liberian education, that time and money is wasted in Liberia college upon Latin and Greek to the neglect of other things far more important to citizens of Africa. This I do because Liberia college is not a college at all, but merely a large graded school. The time of my study was extended upon it is concerned almost exclusively in the teaching of the common English branches. The foregoing has, I presume, made it clear that any institution which may be created in Liberia for any grade of higher education must, in the present deplorable condition of the elementary schools, maintain its own feeders. It must take the children at the earliest stages and such preliminary instruction as would fit the special instruction that may be contemplated. In time, the burden upon the institution of supplying elementary education might be removed if one feature of the institution itself were a normal department. A normal department furnishing trained teachers to the common schools might no enhance the value of the education given in those schools that any institution of higher rank would have to be obliged to rely upon its own pre-primary school, and might eventually abandon such a school and devote itself to the special ends for which it was created. Country Overrun by Clergymen. So far as there has been any outlook towards the higher education, there has been a distinct leaning towards the learned-professions of the bar and the ministry and thus indirectly for the public service. In Liberia the profession of the ministry, so far from being a bar to public service, seems to be a direct preparation for it. At a recent church service portion of the Scriptures, a priest by the sheiff of the sultan prayed was offered by the master general, the sermon was preached by an associate justice of the supreme court, and the mediation was pronounced by a member of the senate. The country is in fact overrun by clergymen, of whom but a small portion devote themselves to their profession. The great and crying need of the country is in technical education and in preparation for a more progressive agricultural and industrial occupation. There is, moreover, among the older generation a growing feeling that they have too long neglected the industrial opportunities of the country, and their speakers dwell with insistence upon the need of better farming and the need of productive occupation, is encouraging that one of the exponents of the business exponents of the D. E. Howard, now chairman of the treasury, is countenanced-elect, so that we can count upon the influence of the future administration being directed as far as it can towards promoting the economic and industrial development of the country. The establishment at this time of an institution in Liberia, based on the lines of the Tuskegee Institute, located in Alabama, U. S. A., would be one of the greatest blessings that could be conferred upon this country. Such an institution should have two quite distinct aims or departments. The first should be a normal department, for the needs of the foregoing statement; the second, offer conclusive demonstration. This normal demand is a necessary adjunct to the main purpose of such an establishment, in order that in time the general system of public education may be improved and the institution relieved of the necessity of giving elementary instruction and therefore putting it in a position to do a larger work along industrial lines. About Industrial Education. With regard to industrial education, in a country like Liberia, which is almost wholly agricultural, it is a matter of course that it should be used largely education should be used largely. It should, however, be pointed out that there are certain distinctions between agriculture in the tropics and agriculture in temperate climes, which must be brought into the reckoning of any plan for the establishment of any agricultural school in the tropics. In temperate climates, the object of agricultural education is, in large measure, to educate workers. In the tropics the aim must be to educate overseers. Neither the white man nor the negro who has been transplanted can comprehend the hard physical labor which is necessary in agricultural pursuits in this climate. He must be able, however, to direct the labor force, which consists of the aborigines. It seems not improbable that this difference in the character of the work to be performed may indicate some differences in the training which is given. It is also clear that with agriculture should be associated instruction swimming low, the rider not showing except his head and shoulders above the water, when the saddle girth broke and the saddle and contents slipped off the animal behind, which allowed the faithful mule to partially emerge from the water. It was a critical moment, and watchers from opposite banks were all anxiety. The imperiled boy clutched frantically upon the tail of the swimming animal, who evidently failed to note this and showed: "Look to do. Laird, in those handicrafts for which there is the greatest need in that country. These are, primarily everything connected with the construction of dwellings, both as to carpentry and as to masonry. In the towns a large part of the buildings are constructed of brick, stone or cement, and this form of construction is that which is best adapted to the tropics. The brick used is mostly imported, though at the present time a great deal is derived from older buildings which have fallen into decay and which have broken up. Brick-making would also be a profitable industry. Special attention should be given to all kinds of cement work for the purposes of construction of houses, clisters and all kinds of drainage. Sanitary arrangements do not exist in the country and in the city are woefully primitive. A proper application of cement construction to these necessities would not only make the city a community, but would be valuable in establishing higher standards of decency and living. Room in Liberia for Trained Mechanics. The center of the Americo-Liberian number of trained mechanics. The application of the gasoline motor to navigation of the St. Paul's river and in machine shops is increasing, and for the present it would be important and elementary in the principles of applications of mechanics and the care of machinery might well be made a subject of instruction. There has so far been little conscious effort to utilize native products to the best advantages. The teachers of an agricultural school could tender an enormous service to the country by the study of its natural resources, by the cultivation by way of the exported domestics or crops of the cornfields as the coffee plant and possibly the sugar cane, and by introducing improved methods for the collection, preservation and shipment of such natural products as palm oil and kernels, plassava fiber and rubber. If such an institution were designed for both sexes, the industrial training of the girls would naturally be developed and be developed by the educational experts of the United States. The center of the America-Liberian population is Monrovia, and such a school as is needed should be located in or near this place. There is plenty of good agricultural land easily accessible to Monrovia, while the proximity to the town would in the first instance be an important factor in reducing the cost of the necessary supplies which, until the school is well established, must be largely purchased. New Era Dawning for Republic. No gift of the American people to the republic of Liberia could be more valuable for development of the country than such an institution. As an example of a wholly disinterested concern in the welfare of the republic, the gift would be most highly appreciated. The people who have a stake in the dawning. They have placed themselves under the guidance of the United States of America, and they are looking forward to the advent of their advisers as the beginning of changed conditions. While these changes encounter the natural inertia which opposes any new movement, the present and future administrations of the country are in hearty accord with these changes. No more fitting time than the present could be imagined in which a new government which would be regarded by the Liberian government as conclusive evidence that the interest the American government has taken in their welfare is as unselfish as those who have been concerned in this policy believe. Of course, the Europeans in Liberia cannot understand that the United States has no ulterior motive, and that it is actuated solely by considerations of sympathy and friendly feeling. Such a discussion of mutual feeling discussed would in a large measure counteract this influence of the foreigners now located in the country. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TAKES PRIVATE CAR EVADES TEXAS JIM CROW LAW BY CHARTERING PULLMAN Denison, Tex—When Dr Booker T. Washington was informed by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway that he must either ride in the compartment reserved for negroes or hire a special car to transport him from Austin to Temple, Doctor Washington demurred. But the Texas Crescent actually probably met the murder of officials could not afford to be accommodating. Doctor Washington later notified the railroad passenger agent that he wanted a sleeper anyhow and charmed a special Pullman for the trip; he was sent to Boston. The distance from Austin to Temple is about 200 miles. LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE. New York City—Hannah Mills, eighty years old, a colored widow woman without family, who lived in New York for more than fifty years, died a few days ago, leaving the savings of a lifetime which will go to her next of kin, if any can be found. Where Hannah Mills was born or her maiden name, unfortunately, is not known, but some years ago she spoke to a friend about a sister who lived up state having died. It is thought that this sister may have left children who would be Hannah Mills' heirs. Eph'um; look to de Lawd; look to de Lawd!" The more worldly son on the other bank was obviously skeptical about such advice under the circumstances, for he screamed out: "Nevah you min' lookin' to de Lawd.

NANDY, W. R. W. R. PETTIFORD. Dallas, Tex.-About 500 people, representative of the negro population of Dallas, Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings bank, the pioneer of negro banking institutions, from Birmingham, Ala., deliver a strong address at a mass meeting at Evening Chapel C. M. E. church. The mass meeting was held in the interest of the financial and commercial life of the negro people of the south and came at the close of the meeting of the committee on bank guarantee of the National Negro Bankers' association of which Mr. Pettiford is chairman. Dr. Petttford urged his people to save their money and to develop a leadership in financial affairs equal to that of Booker T. Washington in educational matters. In the course of his address he said: "Since we cannot assimilate in the fabric of business on the basis of merit, which is in the interest of racial equality, we must be the mutual servant of both races, the white people owe their moral support and assistance to the negro people in their struggle to aggregate their money, build business, entering agricultural pursuits to supplement the work given black men by themselves. "We have assisted the men building this civilization, and now for reasons stated, we cannot reap the best results of our long toll together with the white man, it is only reciprocity that will fulfill our mission in our efforts to help ourselves. The work before the leaders of the race is to build a civilization peculiar to the negro. For the same reason, the white man owes his assistance. "The making of opportunities on the farm, in manufacturing the raw material from the clay, forest and the soil, demands the co-operative effort of the whole race. "Building and maintaining banks is a part of that work. The Indian could not hold a place here, because he could not make the soil bring forth results by the touch of his hand. The neer" in the south has a great opportunity but he has to profit by the experience of the American Indian." Other addresses were made by Dr. G. J. Jackson, who presided over the meeting; W. E. King, editor of the Dallas Express; Roy J. Weytie, president of Dallas district, M. E. church; R. H. Clinton, president Provident Savings bank, Fort Worth, Tex.; and J. E. Johnson, cashier, People's Bank and Trust company, Muskogee, Okla. At the meeting of the guaranty committee at Penny Savings bank, all the details for working out and conducting the guaranty plan for negro banks was considered and finally adopted. Each negro bank will contribute $500 for the first year, the same to be deposited in the Alabama Penny Savings bank, Birmingham, Ala. The officers and directorate, together with the guaranty committee of the National Negro Bankers' association, will become the agents of the fund, which will be bonded and insured. Loans to banks in need will be made, graded according to the need, and each signatory will be required to sign the officers handling the fund. The guaranty committee declares under authority of the national association that no more negro banks shall fall, and signify their intention of throwing the whole strength of the National Negro Bankers' association behind any weak bank to prevent a failure. On the guaranty committee were Dr. W. R. Pettiford, Alabama Penny Savings bank, Montgomery, Ala.; Victor Tulane, Alabama Penny Savings bank, Montgomery, Ala.; J. J. Scott, Fraternal Savings bank, Memphis, Tenn.; J. E. Johnson, People Bank and Trust company, Muskegon, Okla., and G. I. Johnson, Perry Savings bank, Dallas, Tex. PUMPS VERSUS BATHS.

NEGRO POSTMASTER RESIGNS. Port Gibson, Mass.-Thomas Richardson, negro postmaster at this place 33 years, continuous with the exception of two years under President Cleveland, lenguished his position to W. R. Muger, recently appointed postmaster, by turning over the post office and all records in good shape. Richardson was appointed by President Grant in 1870. Richardson has accepted a government position at Washington. PIANIST OFF FOR GERMANY. Laporte, ind.-Miss Hazel Harrison, a pianist of rare ability, has left for Berlin, Germany, where she expects to be the wife of the family of Emperor William. RAISING THE WIND. Dannhauer would gamble his last cent. That was his great weakness. He went home one evening after a bad day. He looked tired. "Wife," he said, "have you got anything to eat?"
