ANTA, Ga., August 8.—But a short remains before. President Booker Hinton will strike his gavel call-order the next session of the Negro Business League, which lies in this city August 29 to 31. It be a most successful meeting if rances count for anything and the who journey this way will return their respective homes feeling that cage was fortunate in its selection Fair Southern city on the North Atlantic. Thanks to the comable activity of local leagues throughout the country, a splendid degree interest has been manifested for thecess of the pending meeting and aathy stimulus has been given to the sens of Atlanta and of Georgia in attempt to make it, if possible, sur-other meetings. business people constitute more than any other class, and their ed energies and efforts are far calling in the word and not hearers only, an two decades ago the real busi-ple among Afro-Americans were insequential quantity with little and less energy.

These things it has done, and many more which shall be told of by the people who meet in this own very soon. It would be a waste of words to atempt to show the object and aim of his meeting. For the word "development" spelled in big, bold letters in every nature of the undertaking. Who is there mong us that does not want the race, to develop and stamp out the unworthy mendicous we are standing still if not only retrograding? Surely there is no. But the coming of the League has additional object or rather it might be of it that it will be an object lesson. will show to the Southern white man, to all men for that matter, that ever the Afro-American is located he asking progress and is entrenching self in the business life that comity it will show that gradually goes by he is becoming so iden- with the country's business inter- that he will sooner or later have to reckoned with as a considerable faci- in its welfare.

He will be good to be at the session. be citizens of Atlanta, responsive to all of Secretary G. M. Howell and cal league, are exerting themselves to the meeting a success.

It is in the resid the great majority of all be located within acks from it. It is easily The New York Age. accessible by all street car lines, the schedules being fast, and satisfactory. Objection has been made by prospective delegates and visitors to coming over the Southern railway on account of the fact that Afro-Americans are compelled to come in and leave from an entrance at the Southern station, or, as it is called, the Terminal station, different from that used by whites. There are two direct lines from Washington to Atlanta: the Southern Railway and the Seaboard-Air Line. Persons who leave from or pass through, Washington en route and who might not wish to travel over the Southern will find the Seaboard a pleasant line on which to travel. It enters the Union station at which no such distance is made in the Terminal. The same is made of the Atlantic Coast Line which has connections with other lines that enter the Union station. From the West, the Louisville and Nashville, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis both enter the Union station. The various committees are planning to make the stay of delegates and visitors as pleasant as possible. Among the things suggested is an old-fashioned Georgia barbecue, to be followed at the close of the session by a banquet or ball. Just now tentative, but are being studied. It is more than likely that board and lodging will cost from one dollar to one dollar and a half a day, according to the desire of the individual. The committee will exert itself to see that satisfactory service is rendered to all visitors. Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott, with the value to Secretary Howell, states that in his opinion the attendance will be large. All told the outlook seems promising for a very successful session. THOMAS H. MALONE. This the Confession of Magazine's Business Manager. Mr. James W. Woodle, business manager of The Voice of the North, called at THE AGE office last Thursday to "correct" an Atlanta dispatch which appeared recently in THE AGE in reference, he said, to the financial status of his publication. The financial failure of The Voice, he declares, has not been complete. The loss of Hertel, Jenkins & Co., during the two years they operated The Voice, was not $20,000, as stated in THE AGE, says Mr. Woodle, but only $10,000. Mr. Woodle declares that he values The Voice plant, including circulation and agents' lists, furniture, typewriters, stationery and cuts, at $13,000. But Messrs. Hertel and Jenkins, according to Mr. Woodle, when they turned over the magazine to the Afro-American company making The Voice's assets $2,000 less than its liabilities At present, says Mr. Woodle, The Voice has become able just about to pay its running expenses. On this basis The Voice, under its Afro-American management, is attempting to sell $10,000 worth of stock to Afro-Americans. The Voice's advertisements lead one to think that 7 per cent. will be paid on all stock sold, but Mr. Woodle knows that this percentage is warranted. It will be seen that Mr. Woodle's "corrections" corroborate in every essential particular the statements of THE AGE's Atlanta correspondent. WASHINGTON AFTER FUNDS FOR DOUGLASS HOME AT ANACOSTIA Long Cherished Plan Now Assured of Consummation. Dr. Booker T. Washington has a plan on foot to raise money to pay off the indebtedness of the Doughlass Home at Amastasia so that it can be used as a permanent memorial to Mr. Doughlass. He plans to begin collecting the money in the fall or winter. It has long been an ambition of the McAloe American people to preserve the Amastasia house as a monument of Mr. Doughlass, and it looks now as if that ambition will at last soon be realized. WHITE SLAVE BEATEN AND ROBBED IN FLORIDA CAMP Shocking Story Told by a Swede Who Escaped. A story of alleged ill-treatment in a turpentine camp in Florida was told Friday in Hoboken by Jacob von Arx, 24 years old, when arranged before Acting Recorder Laverty. The man had been picked up by the police at the Hamburg-American piers, where he had been loitering several days and subscribing on the charity of long-sheremen and snipers. The boken had June 2 on the Amerika, having been one of the strike-breakers that took the pless of the striking steamship firemen. When the strike was settled he and four others deserted their ship and went to Manhattan, where in an employment agency in First street they were engaged to go to Buffalo Bluff, Fla., where it was promised, they would obtain employment. On arriving there they were driven to turpentine camp, where they were set to work on the construction of their labor-laborers being Afra-Americans. Von Arx alleged that they received had and insufficient food, had sleeping quarters not fit for cattle, and that at the end of four weeks he received $2.40. He jumped the camp, and had almost reached Tampa when he was caught and taken back. He declared that after his capture he was heaten and robbed of the little money he had. He made a second escape, and this time was not overtaken. He said, that during his trip from the way, occasionally getting a ride on a freight train through the kindness of railroad men. The four other men; he said, were, so far as he knew, still in the camp, but he thought it would not be long before they would succumb to the hardships of the place. Von Arz will be handed over to the Swedish Consul in New York. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. White Woman Said To Have Cut Off This Ghastly Trophy—Gov. Glenn Hot After Mob SALISBURY, N. C., August 14.—Geo. B. Hall, of Montgomery county, charged with being one of the leaders in the lynching of three Afro-Americans here on Monday night, has been tried in Rowan Superior Court here, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years, the maximum of the law. This was the first case against the Rowan lynchers. It is the first instance in the history of the State when a prisoner charged with adding in a lynching was convicted, and is considered a distinct victory for law and order. When court opened Friday it was rumored that the special term, as ordered by Governor Glenn on July 17, for the trial of the Lyerly murders was illegal, it being alleged that when the order was made the Governor was not in the State. Governor Glenn, being in Salisbury, was at once summoned into court. He testified that at the time the commission was issued he was in Atlantic City, but that the order was regularly signed by his private secretary in Raleigh, who affixed the seal of State, for a trial ordered by Judge Long and the trial proceeded. Hall confessed to the attack upon the tilt, but pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder. Gov. Glenn is preparing a drastic general order to the commander-in-chief of the North Carolina National Guard concerning the conduct of Captains and military companies called into service for the purpose of putting down mob violence. He seems that under the old order of things the commanders of companies are subject to the orders of the sheriff. The captain of the company at Salisbury marched his men off the field because the sheriff would not give him permission to fire on the mob to protect the prisoners. "The new order gives to the military control of the situation in cases of disturbance where they are called in to service. The captains and other commanders are to be instructed to use herder or roan to be the necessary in the discretion to repel and control the mob. Subjugated to the order is a warning to citizens to keep clear of any mob formation, as the military commanders will be obliged to fire after due warning has been given, or themselves suffer a court-martial. The Governor declares that every man composing a mob is without the pale of the law. It was on Monday night of last week the mob of 3,000 determined men formally roan Roon from the mob and removed therefrom three of the five Afro-Americans charged with the murder of the Loverly family, at Barber Junction, July 13, and knotted them. The mob began gathering at sundown. Mayor Boyden promptly ordered the saisons closed and, with other prominent citizens, United States Senator Overman, Judge John, who was holding the special term of court to try the prisoners, and Solicitor Hammer, gathered on the street at that time numbered 2,000. There were howls and cat calls from the mob, but for a time there was no more the mob lacking a leader. While citizens were appealing to the mob, two men slipped through the crowd and were catering the jail with hammers. They were discovered and arrested. The mob continued its yelling, but there was still no converted move. A black Mayor Boyden called upon the military company, the Rowan Rifles, for aid. They assembled quickly, but were supplied only with blank cartridges, having no orders to shoot to kill. Fireman M-Lendon, of charlotte, a Southern railway employee, was shot in the stomach by a bullet said to have been fired by a member of the mob. He was fatally wounded. Will Troutman, an Afro-American drayman, was also involved. He was said to have been accidentally seduced by some of the few wild shots fired by members of the mob, with the evident intention of brightening citizens. At 10 o'clock there was a stir in the mob—it was augmented by fully five hundred men, who came, it is said, from Whitney, where the Whitney Reduction company is developing the Yadkin water power. It was but a few minutes after their arrival, when a crowd of fifty, forming a sort of flying wedge, made a break for the jail doors, overpowered the officers, and effected an entrance. The officers, in a hurry, hurried in and leders, and in a few minutes more emerged from the door with their victims. The doomed men were marched northward toward Spencer, but a halt was made at Henderson's hall grounds in the edge of the town. There they were given time to confess the crime. They refused to either deny or confess and were so thoroughly frightened as almost to have lost the power of speech. John Gillespie went pitiously and begged for his life. Tiring of its efforts to secure statements from the Afro-Americans at midnight the ropes were quickly brought forward and adjusted and the three were strung up to the limbs of one tree and with haws and curses the crowd riddled the dangling books. An anthrochthom of the lynching comes the report that a white woman went to the scene of the lynching and cut off a part of the can of one of the mob's victims as a souvenir. BIBULOUS RANSOM PREACHES ON "HOW TO KEEP SOBER" Meant Porhage to Disp&y Himself as a Horrible Example Boston, August 13.—Probably on some principle parallel to that of "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Rev. Reverdy Cassius Ransom chose to preach last night at the Charles Street A. M. E. church on "Sobriety, or How to Keep Sober." Of the theoretical side of this subject, Rev. Ransom may be a perfect master; but he doesn't show it in his practice. Many sybilarites, indeed, would be willing to bow to him as an authority on "How Not to Keep Sober." A very short while ago Rev. Ransom got drunk on his way so Normal, Ala., to address the graduating class (1) Prof. Council's school, and was uncremoniously hustled northward by the school authorities. On his way) he offered counsel to young college students (4) how, travellers, a negative demonstration of "How to Keep Sober," by tendering their swigs from this private jug. By choosing to speak on "Sobriety." Rev. Ransom perhaps had the philanthropic intention of exhibiting himself to the young as a horrible example of the evils of inebriity.

WOULDN'T DRAW COLOR LINE FOR KENTUCKY WHITE GIRL Magistrate Baker Thought Afro-American's Word Good as Her Miss Gertrude Chair, a young woman from Lexington, Ky., visiting Mrs. J. Jonkins, No. 126 West Ninety-fourth street, reported to the police Friday that she had been robbed of two rings, valued at $200. The police arrested Mrs. Mary L. Smith, an Afro-American woman, from Lexington. Jonkins said the family washing. She was arraigned in the West Side Court yesterday afternoon. Miss Chair was indignant because Magistrate Baker listened to Mrs. Smith's plan of "not guilty." "It is asounding that pay words should be disputed against that of this Negress," she cried. "If this was in the South, she could be innocent until she is proved guilty," said the Magistrate. He adjourned the hearing until Saturday. BLACK HERO SAVED GIRL FROM DEATH IN RUNAWAY Selked Her From Dray Just Before It Was Smashed Up. OP118A, August 10. An Afro-American named John Freeman proved a hero when he rescued from a dray little Susie Ingram, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ingram. Mr. Ingram, the father of this beautiful little girl, is a prominent wholesale grocerman, being a member of the Opelika Grocery Company of this city. When the dray wandered at the home of his wife, S. W. Hillman, a deliver goods, while the drayman was in the house, several children jumped on the back of the draym, whereupon the spirited mules became frightened and began to run. The little boy's brother and cousin of the little girl jumped off, but little Susie hold on. On the mules sped, turning corner after corner, and several gentlemen made great efforts to stop the infiltrated animals, without success. When the draym passed the Ingram home the mother of the little girl saw the scene and began screaming. At a good distance past, the Freeman, a carpenter, in a most courageous manner springed into the dray and grabbed the little girl out of just as the mules ran into some trees and smashed up things generally. Little Susie was soon in her mother's arms, after a narrow escape from sudden death. Cuban X Ginata 5. Philadelphia Pro- fessional 6. PHILADELPHIA, August 14—For six innings left, Biggins prevented the Cuban X-Giants from scoring in the International League game with the Philadelphia Professionals this afternoon at the Athletic grounds, but in the seventh, the Cubans got to him for a double triple and three singles, netting four runs, which, with the tall they got in the next inning, enabled them to win the Freethorer Cup game by 5 to 0. Perez had the Professionals and the Cubans, both wearing and forming tight. Bakers' great throw to the plate cutting off a run and completing a double play, was the fielding feature. To-morrow the Philadelphia Giants and Riverton-Palmyra team play a double-header at the Athletic grounds. Windolph, Hahn, Strasbourger and Van Cott Should Be Elected Leaders The extraordinary political news reported in another column by our Chicago correspondent should make every Afro-American in New York sit up. The report announces that Mr. Fred L. Barnet has been nominated by the Republicans for the high position of Municipal Judge; that Mr. Oscar DePriest has been nominated by the influential office of County Commissioners in Hon. Edward Green will again receive the Republican nomination for the Illinois Legislature. The success won by the Chicago Afro-American is unique among all other cities in that it is strictly local; none of these three honors bestowed upon Afro-Americans is Federal. Why is it that Chicago has succeeded where York for instance, "has as ya called?" New York has Afro-Americans than Chicago. Here, so are concentrated as in Chicago. Here, in certain election districts so as to make a massing of their voting strength possible, and theoretically easy. One difference—and an important one it is—is that the Chicago Afro-American has learned better than his brother in any other city the necessity of organization, the movement of empathy both for anguaging our courageous leadership and for loyal soldier-like obedience. Then, the Chicago Afro-American plays the game of politics with consummate shrewdness and dexterity. He belongs unanimously to his ward clubs, in which he permits no one to forget his African roots to his ward. He almost costs the machine. Our night there among themselves for leadership, which is a sign of healthy vigor; but when the leader is chosen they usey themselves behind him. Then they are, one and all, for their race against the whole world. But the Chicago Afro-American will not follow a leader who does not know the political game from alba to omega. It is repeating political A-B-Cs to say that the Afro-American, if he is to make himself important politically, must more and more turn his attention to local politics—to the politics of his assembly district and his Congressional district. In other words, he must in politics as, as he does in the past, he must lobby and lay a solid foundation of local power. Up to now the average ambitions Afro-American going into politics has during the first week, or so announced his candidate for Minister to Hayti or registrar of the Treasury. He knows all about what is doing in Congress, but is stumped if asked the number of delegates in his district convention. He has to decide on how to oppose him and inevitably lost his job. Now he must begin to condense to seek at first such places as election district captaincies, memberships in District and campaign committees and in County committees and elections as delegates to conventions, which control nominations and elections. At the Republican primaries on September 15 next the New York Afro-American will be the winner of his Chicago brother. There are several election districts in which our population makes it possible for us either to benefit ourselves largely or to injure ourselves solely. In the 9th Assembly District, it is gratifying to say, the great majority of the Afro-American voters have already chosen the better part. The choice was to be sure, not difficult. One of the candidates for leader has heretofore given no sign that he was aware of the existence of his Afro-American constituency. The other, the organizations of his district, the old 12th, and were not represented on a single committee. But Mr. Windolph, the other candidate, is of another feather entirely. At the meeting of his campaign committee Monday night it was pleasant to see that one-third of the members were Afro-Americans, and that they were treated with respect and good fellowship by the white members. Mr. Windolph is showing an increasing disposition to throw the door of opportunity wide open to his Afro-American constituents, and that he should repaint the walls and furnish the works by vigorous support. Mr. Windolph will, as he deserves, receive the backing of an overwhelming majority of the Afro-Americans of his district. In the new 13th Assembly District, unfortunately, the Afro-Americans are not all playing the game with the prudence and wisdom of their brothers in the 9th. An impartial observer would imagine that there could be no difficulty of choice between a man like John J. Hahn and a man like John H. Farrell. Mr. Hahn is in every way an excellent and able gentleman, who has in several striking instances proved his personal interest in Afro-Americans. Mr. Farrell, on the contrary, is a person of indifferent breeding and ability, a product of the tough Gas House District, where is contemplated the spirit which has caused races in the past. He has never been borne upon by any of his constituents, but is now trying to make them forget his past remissness by laying upon them wordy promises of such suzerainty that the angel Gabriel himself could not fulfill them. It would be a real shame if Mr. Farrell should defeat Mr. Hahn, and would only discredit the Afro-American voters of the district but practically harm them for some time to come. Friends like Mr. Hahn are too rare to be turned away; and enemies at like Mr. Farrell are too common be chastised at every opportunity. In the 25th Assembly District the Afro-American voters, mindful of the great services of the late Corneilus Van Cott to the race, and of the great friend-since of his son, Richard Van Cott, are aligning themselves on his side in the fight for the leadership of the district. In the old 31st District in Harlem, Mr. Samuel Strasbourier is opposed for leader by Mr. Harvey Andrews. In making their choice between the two the most important fact that it was on the initiative of Mr. Strasbourier and against the protest of Mr. Andrews that two Afro-Americans were sent last year from this district to the County. Committee. Hahn, Windolph, Van Cott and Strassburger should be solidly supported by the Afro-American vote. By holding up the hands of such men we shall confirm the fact that we are the majority of those who would prefer to hand us the lemon in politics. Afro-American of District to Have Big Celebration August 28. To endorse Commissioner John P. Windolph's candidacy for leader of the 9th Assembly District the Afro-American voters of that district will hold a big joint mass meeting on Tuesday night, August 28, at 458 Ninth avenue. Among the speakers will be Mr. Windolph, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of THE NEW YORK AGE; Mr. Andrew McLauren, president of the Republican organization of the 9th Assembly district; Mr. George M. Keith, leader of the Republican organization of the 9th district; Mr. R. L. Stokes of THE AGE, and Mr. Glebierst Stewart, Afro-American leader of the 18th Assembly district. Mr. Julius M. Watson, president of the Afro-American organization of the 9th and vice-president of the Colored Republican club of the City of New York, will be the presiding officer. DEMOCRATS SUPPORT FARRELL FOR LEADER IN THE THIRTEENTH Hope to Make Republicans There a Sidebar of Tammany Hall. The Afro-American voters of the 13th Assembly district are speculating with angry suspicion on the reasons for the unprecedented activity in behalf of candidate Farrell on the part of the leading and little Democrats in that and adjourning districts. He is being actively supported by The McManus, Michael F. McGee, the "Mayor of San Jaun Hill," John J. Halligan, the Democratic candidate for Congress in opposition to J. Van Wehten Olcott, and many others. The reason, of course, of the Democratic thus stepping outside their own domain is their expectation, in case Farrell is made leader, to turn his club into an annex of Tammany Hall. If such a thing came to pass the Afro-American voters of the district would be as good as disfranchised, for their votes would be rendered useless. Farrell is a Democratic wolf in Republican clothing. AFRO-AMERICANS MUCH IN EVIDENCE IN NINTH DISTRICT Are Loyally Behind Commisioner Win- dolph—Rousing Meeting. The campaign committee of the 9th district held another rousing meeting Monday night at 265 West 34th street: The Afro-American brother was out in large numbers, making probably more of those presuppositions. They also made about half of the sipses. Affection and loyalty for Hen. John P. Windelph, the candidate for leader, were the keynotes of all the sipses. The prophecy was unanimously made that he would win at the primaries on September 18; but with all their optimism the committee have determined not to "skin their real and energy one buttonhole up!" their candidate is elected. Effective and witty speeches were made by a gal of the Afro-American members, including Mr. Leonard Fleming, Mr. George Lee, Mr. Julius M. Watson, Mr. S. D. Stewart, Mr. Charles Turner, the polyxylastic Prof. A. L. Grosi, Mr. Lightburn and Mr. William T. Hooper. On motion of Mr. Watson, Mr. R. L. Stokes, of Ture Ace, was made a member of the campaign committee. Mr. Stokes made a short speech in which he exclaimed his pleasure in calling Mr. Windelph a gemine unpright man, whom it is impossible not to like personally. He praised Mr. Windelph as a politician who is interested in Afro-American not only for their votes but for themselves; and promised that the Afro-American voters of the district would reward so rare a friend by supporting him solidly at the primaries. BRACKETT LANDS AFRO-AMERICAN NIGHT CLERK IN POST OFFICE Saratoga Boy Stood Highest in Civil Service Examination. SARATOGA, August 13.—Mr. David Woodrow, a young Afro-American who was last year a member of the senior class of the Saratoga Springs high school, entered a competitive civil service examination for a clerkship in the Saratoga Springs post office, and made the highest percentage of any who took the examination. By the friendliness of Senator Edar J. Brenkack a strong and sturchness friend of the Afro-American people, Mr. Woodrow was appointed a night clerk in the post office at a good salary. This is regarded as quite a gain for the race in this section of the State. Mr. Woodrow was born, reared and educated in this village. Philadelphia Giants Trouser Cuban X. Giants PHILADELPHIA, August 13. In a well contented game Saturday afternoon at the Columbia Park, the Philadelphia Giants successfully defended their title emblems against the Cuban X Giants, defeating them by a score of 7 to 3. GRAND JES AGAIN WIN Soldiers Ambushed--Five Killed, One Missing, Four Wounded SECOND DAJO POSSIBLE Rebels Posted on Fortified Hill and Will Resist to the Death MANILA, August 10.—An overwhelming force of Pulajanes ambushed First Lieutenant John F. James and ten men of the Eighth Infantry yesterday afternoon on the island of Leyte. A desperate conflict ensued in a narrow ravine. The soldiers exhausted their ammunition and then there was a hand-to-hand encounter, with bolos on the one side and clubbed rifles on the other. Lieutenant James, Contract Surgeon William and two private soldiers were killed and one man is missing. All the others are wounded. The bodies, which had been mangled, were recovered and buried. The Pulajanes captured three revolvers, four Krag-Jorgensen rifles and 300 cartridges. Governor Devyera reports that the man body of the Pulajens is in position in fortified hill, apparently prepared to resist to the death. It is believed that they are armed with bolos only and have no rifles. It may possibly be necessary to repeat the Dajo Hill slaughter. Governor General Ide will go with General Wood to the island of Leyte to investigate the situation, starting tonight. This will be the first visit of the Governor-General to the scene of the combined operations of the military and the constabulary: WASHINGTON, August 10.—Lieutenant John F. James entered the army as a volunteer from Virginia as a member of the Seventh immunes in the Spanish-American War. He was graduated from the infantry and cavalry school, and also from the staff college, and was appointed a second lieutenant of the Eighth Infantry in April, 1890, and was promoted to a first lieutenant in February, 1891. The internal revenue office was recently organized and the War Department has collected Collector Williams, who was reported killed. The War Department this afternoon received the following dispatch from General Wood: "First Lieutenant" John J. James, Contract Surgeon Calvin D. Snyder, Private William J. Gillick, Matias Zock, Company F. Fourth Infantry, killed about 6 P. M. August 9, near Julita, Loyte, by Puljahnes. SHERIFF WHO CONNIVED AT LYNCHING IS RE-ELECTED Chattanooga Shows Further Contempt for U. S. Supreme Court. CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, August 10.—Sheriff Shipp, who has been cited before the United States Supreme Court for contempt because he permitted Ed. Johnson, an Afro-American, who was under the court's protection, to be taken from his custody and lynched, has just been reelected by a largely increased majority. By his reelection the people of Chattanooga and vicinity have expressed their approval of Shipp's lethargy during the lynching, and their resentment of the Supreme Court's interference, as they regard it. But the Supreme Court still has the final word. MISSISSIPPI DOESN'T WANT Vardaman Idea to Keep Whites in Blacks in Subjection. JACKSON, Miss, August 10 - Of the six candidates for the Governorship of Mississippi, five have followed the lead of Governor Vardaman in adopting the slogan "Mississippi for the Mississippiians," by which is meant opposition to white immigration. The sixth man has ventured to say that white immigration would be a good thing for all hands. The slogan also means "Mississippi for the white Mississippiians." The Vardaman idea is to keep the white population small and in subjection. WOULD DEPORT AGITATING PREACHERS FROM S. AFRICA London Papers Accuse Them of Incla- lting Cape Town Riots. LONDON, August 8. It is being sug- gested that a small party of Afro-Ameri- can preachers who have been charged with abetting the Ethiopian campa- nion for Africa for the Africans" should be dismissed. The Government has not taken any action, and it is a question whether it will. The negation against the preachers has been revived by the recent rioting at Camp Town, for which certain London papers hold them partly responsible. They have, allogue these papers, made no, secret of their mission to South Africa, adjoining activities to use their efforts to secure black supremacy in that part of the world. "Lincr Tom" Group Wine Prize YORK HARRON, Ms. August 23—At the recent fancy costume ball at the awell York Country Club, the finest event here for years, the second prize was won by Mrs. Arthur R. Thayer, Mrs. J. P. Keating, Russell R. Hook, J. E. P. Koeing, M. E. B. Sinker, who were made up as Dinah, Topsy, Uncle Tom and Afe-American girls. For County Commissioner - Green Will Probably Be Returned to the Legislature. CHICAGO, August 11.—The Afro-American voters of Chicago have won a signal victory in the primary election and county and city conventions held during the past week. Some weeks ago some of the more prominent Afro-American voters of the city got together, and determined to have a larger representation on the election ticket of the party. They made an examination of their political assets and found that in the district where they live, in what is known as the First Congressional District, there are over 10,000 black voters. This is a larger vote than that of almost any other nationality. The powers that make, and unmake political positions were duly impressed with the abowing made by these figures, and as a result an Afro-American has been named as a candidate on the judicial ticket nominated by the Republican convention. This probably is the first time in the history of any American who is an Afro-American has been named for so important an office as municipal judge. Though the court to be presided over by the nominee is a municipal court, the jurisdiction of the court is almost coextensive with that of the circuit courts. It is reported that some of the leading Republicans are strongly opposed to this innovation of nominating an Afro-American for such an important office, but the more progressive element in the party were so impressed with the showing of strength in organized power on the part of the Afro-American voters that they decided to take a step forward. There were many candidates for the nomination, and considerable opposition to the choice is being made, because as usual in such matters, to the ordinary white politician one Afro-American is as good as another, and his personal loyalty and power is alone considered. For this reason, the Afro-American people of the city can but feel a deep sense of responsibility in the nomination of their representative on the Republican ticket. In addition to the nomination of F. L. Barnett for judge, Mr. Oscar D. Priest has been nominated to succeed himself as county commissioner. A county commissioner is considered one of the big political offices in Illinois. These commissioners control and manage all the courts and other county institutions. In the last 25 years five Afro-Americans have been elected to this board and they solidly been defeated at the general election. Afro-Americans-candidates run behind other nominees on the Republican ticket, as there are certain Republicans who will not vote for an Afro-American. Sentiment, however, is changing for the better. As a rule, the Afro-Americans who have been honored by elective office or by appointment have made good officers. There has scarcely been an instance where they have failed to give satisfaction in their service or deportment. In other words the Afro-Americans as a voter and as an office-holder has more satisfaction than the Republican leaders who have been willing to go to the limit in recognizing the Afro-American as an important factor in party strength. In addition to the positions above mentioned, there will be an Afro-American nominated for the State Legislature. It is probable that II. m. Edward Green will succeed himself. His good work in the last Legislature got through, through the State Legislature, the Army, the Treasury bill, and his generally clean record place him in a favorable position. Two years ago he was opposed by nearly all the leading papers of the city. This year these same papers are sounding his praises and insisting that he be returned to the Legislature. This is an interesting instance of overcoming prejudice by good works. These newspapers have honored them, and they opposed II. m. Edward Green. This American nominee two years ago they were mistaken in the man. There were seven named Afro-American candidates for a berth in the newly created municipal judgements. Six are Republicans and one is a Democrat. The Republicans are S. Laying Williams, Major Franklin A. Denison, F. L Barnett, B. F. Mossey, Louis B. Anderson and Albert B. George. The Democrat is S. A. T. Watkins. It was expected that both political parties will nominate an Afro-American for one of these judicial offices. Major Dienison, writes H. B. Chamberlin in a local paper, obtained his title in the Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the Spanish-American war, and was until recently quartermaster on the staff of Brigadier General James B. Smith, commanding the Third Brigade, Illinois National Guard, being the first Afro-American, to receive such an appointment in the military service in the State. He was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1862, and obtained his early education in the public schools of that city. He graduated from the Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in 1895 as honor man of his class, and in 1890 from Union College of Law (now the law school of Northwestern University), raising the high schoolors for scholarship and being hired in his classmates valeant and class officer. The year following his graduation Mayor Washburn appointed him assistant prosecuting attorney, a position which he held through the administrations of Mayora Harrison, Sr. Hopkins and Swift, the latter promoting him to be chief assistant of the department. In 1897 he resigned to enter the general practice of law. S. Laiing Williams is a resident of the Sixth Ward, and has been a member of the Chicago bar during the past twenty years. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, with the degree of B.A., and also a graduate of the College of Law at University of Chicago, D.C. He the first Afro-American to enter the latter school and won a prize for legal thesis. He took the postgraduate course and received the degree of M.L. He is the president of the Hyde Park Colored Republican Club. His wife is Pamela Barrier Williams, a member of the Chicago Women's Club, and well known as a writer and lecturer. Albert B. George was born in Washington, D. C., October 23, 1873, and in 1891 was graduated from the Washington high school, being chosen as the orator of his class. Until March, 1893, he was clerk to Judge C. C. Nott of the United States Court of Claims and then became city editor of an Afro-American newspaper, where he remained until March, 1894, when he went to Altoona, Pa., to grad law in the office of Nicholas P. Mervine. Coming to Chicago in 1896, he attended the Northwestern University Law School, from which he was graduated in June, 1897, and was admitted to the bar. He has been in general law practice in Chicago ever since. Mr. George is secretary of the civic league, organized in 1898 to work for the civic betterment of the Afro-American. He was first secretary of the Sunday Forum, the first of the popular Sunday clubs to gain a foothold in Chicago, and to organize a Sunday Club. He was secretary of Grace Prebystery church and Sabbath school for six years and has been superintendent for the past three years. F. L. Barnett, assistant State's attorney was born in Tennessee, but has lived in Chicago most of his life. After finishing the course at the Jones school he graduated from the old Central high school, taught school in the South and graduated from Union College of Law. During the course he also edited The Chicago Conservator. In 1896 Charles B. Deneen appointed him an assistant State's attorney, in which capacity he is still serving. He has served in every department of the office and has sole charge of the habeas corpus work. In this he has been most successful, having secured from the Supreme Court several notable decisions clearly defining the law in habeas corpus procedure. He has appeared for the State in all of the cases in which he has been involved and has been identified with the Dreyer, Streeter, Hoch, the Benefer mandamus cases and the recent case testing the constitutionality of the Juvenile Court law. Louis B. Anderson was born in Petersburg, Va., April 17, 1870. His early education was obtained in the public schools of his native town, nud in 1877 he entered the Virginia Normal School, but left before graduation, as his father removed to Washington, D. C. At the National capital he drifted into newspaper work. In 1891 Mr. Anderson came to Chicago, at the invitation of Major Handy, who had been appointed chief of the bureau of promotion and publicity of the world's fair, where he was assigned to the 'exchange desk' retaining the position of chief of the exposition. Entering Kent College of Law in 1894, he graduated with honors in 1897, and during that period was also employed in the law offices of Prussing & McCulloch. In 1898 he was appointed assistant county attorney for Cook County, which position he has held until the present time. Beauregard F. Moseley took the first fourteen years of his life in Lincolnton, Ga., when his parents took him to Wilkes County, where he attended the public schools, and then went to Augusta to complete his course in the Peabody Institute. He began career as an art teacher at Sharpe's Point, Greensboro and Atlanta. Then he was employed by the late E. S. Keep, stepfather of Cornelius N. Bliss, as a confidential clerk. It was while in this position that he began to study law, reading under the direction of the late F. B. Earhart, United States district attorney. Leaving the South, he settled in Montreal, Canada, and continued his studies in St. Louis when he settled with his family in Chicago and completed his studies. He was admitted to the bar in October, 1896, and since then he was in active practice. S. A. T. Watkins, who is the only Afro-American aspirant for a municipal judge's nomination on the Democratic ticket, was born June 25, 1899, at Memphis, Tenn. After graduating from the public schools of that city he attended and graduated from the University of Memphis, June, 1888. He studied law in the office of T. F. Cassels, assistant attorney general, at Memphis, and after being admitted to the bar February 5, 1891, he became a member of the firm of Cassels & Watkins. In May, 1892, he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of his native State. In July, 1892, Mr. Watkins came to Chicago and was admitted to the bar of Illinois in June of the following year, and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States in December, 1903. October 1, 1898, he was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney of the city of Chicago, which office he still holds. NEWARK PRESBYTERIANS AND REV. LOCKIER PART COMPANY His Realignation Accepted and Factions Seems Conciliated. NEWARK, August 9—Amicable settlement of the trouble in the Plane Street Church of Presbyterian church was effected last night at a congregational meeting, when the resignation of the pastor, Rev. John H. Lockier, was formally accepted. The meeting was marked by harmony and good feeling, and the breach between the two factions seemed to be healed. Gay and Major Adelbert H. Twitchell, who were appointed members of a committee by the Newark Presbytery to endeavor to settle the church's affairs were present, and the clergyman presided. The first action taken was on the resignation of Mr. Lockier. A resolution was adopted that the church join with Mr. Lockier in petitioning the presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relation. Edward Voorhees, Alum Smith and George S. Fletcher were then appointed commissioner to form the presbytery to petition taken, to the payment of Rev. Mr.Lockier's back salary, amounting to $200, and also to give a bonus of $300. An entertainment will be held by the church to raise the money, part of which, however, has already been subscribed, Mr. Lockhier's participation in the affair will be announced. An immigration granted him a vacation until the next meeting of the presbytery. Republican Club Picnic Te-night Republican Club Picnic Attendee.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. Though White Troop Hailed From Delaware—1st Separate Battalion's Work. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—In company with, two regiments of, white militia of the District National Guard, the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard was ordered into camp at Mount Greta, Pa., to take part in the army maneuvers from July 28 to August 5, inclusive. Mount Greta is one of the several large reservations set apart by the Government for manpowering troops in this section of the country. There are about 15,000 regular troops now on the grounds, some from as far. North as Vermont, the camp being commanded by Gen. Fred. D. Grant, and it is estimated that before camp is broken in the Fall, there will have been 25,000 troops on the field. During the stay of the First Separate Battalion of the other troops in the camp were able to carry and regulate with the crew of the District militia and a battalion from Delaware, the latter being regimented with the First Separate Battalion, under Lieutenant-Cobman Hodges, U. S. A. Major Arthur Brooks, of the First Separate Battalion, was senior major. Not a little uneasiness on the part of those in authority was felt as to what would be the outcome of mixing the white and Afro-American soldiers in camp and field, some fearing that friction would surely result on account of the radical departure from anything heretofore attempted. For instance, in camp and field, the officers on one side by the Delaware battalion and on the other by the I2Tn L. S. Infantry. In all maneuvers in the field the Afro-American officers were in command of companies composed half of white regulars and half of Afro-American militiamen. Major Brooks, therefore, commanded a mixed battalion of Afro-Americans and white soldiers. The white officers of the regular army had like commands. The excellent discipline and military discipline of the office and the First Squadron Installation at one won the respect and confidence of General Grant and his officers, and not even a single instance of friction on either side was noticed, all cheerfully obeying the commands of their officers, whether white or Afro-American. There was nothing but praise for the Afro-American soldiers, and at no time was it necessary to call attention to any military courtesy lacking or duty neglected. General commanded the men for their good conduct and soldierly bearing, and the willingness with which they performed every duty. From a practical standpoint, 'Mount Gretna was the best camp the First Separate Battalion has ever attended. During their nine days' stay nothing was left undone to impress upon them the importance of every detail in war. After drilling three hours in the morning on the drill grounds, three miles away, the men would throw up intrenchments in the afternoon and protect them by various kinds of obstacles, made under the supervision of a author of the Engineer Corps, who fully explained their use and advantage. Particular attention was given to guard and outpost duty, advance and rearguard formations, and extended order. The First Separate Battalion paraded 240 officers and men under command of Major Arthur Brooks, then whom there is no better tactician in the District National Guard. To him is due in very large measure the success which attended the Battalion in camp. The Major has the power of organization and possesses the executive ability which enables him to manage and carry out detail so that each detail into the other. He has been untriting in his efforts during the year preparing his officers and men for this camp, and the good behavior and excellent discipline maintained show how well his teachings have been needed. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the First Separate Battalion for the favorable impression it has made at his camp, for with a reputation of the best American soldiers established, the way is open for other like organizations to follow and receive this much needed and important instruction. Lient B. O. Davis, a Washington boy, now First L. O. of the 10th U. S. Cavalry, was designated by the War Department as assistant instructor in camp and detailed to the First Separate Battalion. His significance to note that the daily press has not emphasized the fact that this battalion of Afro-Americans has been in camp with the troops from the regular establishment and from the volunteer ranks of Delaware, and have passed through the orderal without any friction, with the greatest harmony and distinguished credit to both officers and men. Phenomenal Bowling of Abraham Gage. The extraordinary bowling of Abraham Gage of the West Indian Cricket Club, has established a new record in the United States and Canada in the New York Cricket Association. In the championship game with the Chadwick Cricket Club of Jersey City, at Prospect Park park grounds on Saturday afternoon, August 11, Gage accomplished the marvelous feat of taking nine of the opposing team's wickets without a single run being scored off his delivery. Eight of these wickets were clean bowled, showing he deadly accuracy commanded by the colored truncher throughout the context. This feat in the annals of cricket is unparalleled. The performance got the veterans of the parade grounds to look backward, but they searched their memories in vain for a precedent. Gage has won distinction before, having obtained the bowling championship of the New York Cricket Association in 1902. As a result of this remarkable exhibition, the entire Chadwick side was dismissed for eight runs. ROCHETTER, August 11.—This city has a branch of the National Afro-American Council. At a meeting last night in Republican General Headquarters, German Insurance Building; Bishop Alexander Walters of New Jersey, was the principal speaker and at the conclusion of his remarks a permanent organization was perfected by the election of officers to serve until the branch should care to elect others. The National Afro-American Council was organized in this city in 1808 and in every convention since this city has been represented. The meeting was called to order by J. W. Thompson, who nominated J. Frank Marshall as chairman. Rev. J. W. Brown was made temporary secretary. These later were elected to permanent office. Bishop Walters was appointed as vice-president, and Mrs. R. Jerome Jeffrey as treasurer. Bishop Walters was made the first honorary member of the branch. While the National Afro-American council is non-partisan, there is no objection, Bishop Walters said, to the various branches affiliating themselves with political parties. J. W. Thompson follwed these remarks of the bishop with a statement that the Rochester branch would be decidedly Republican. Bishop Walters' remarks occupied the better part of an hour. He introduced his subject, "Organization," with reference to race conditions in the South, comparing the political parties of to-day with those of the time of Jacobin and Napoleon in the French people of race would have if they were organized. The value of the ballot was particularly emphasized. The Council, he said, was being called into being by the necessities of the people. Its mission is to better the deplorable political and industrial position of those who live under conditions which they do not create and from which they would gladly emerge if encouraged by the black men of the North, who enjoy larger civil and political rights than the Southerners. ALBERT HOWELL AND HOKE SMITH EXPECTED TO FIGHT Amenities of Georgia Statemen in Gubernatorial Campaign. ATLANTA, Ga., August 10.—Personali- ties have reached such a pitch in the Georgia Gubernatorial campaign that the public is expecting a fight between Albert Howell, a brother of Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution and candidate for Governor, and former Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, who is also a candidate for Governor. Owing to the long enmity existing between Hoke Smith and the Howells the campa- mish has been the bitterest that Georgia has ever known. Howell, who is a leading lawyer and one of the counsel for the Southern Railway, charged in a card that Hoke Smith, in settling a case against the railway company, robbed his client of $1,000. Replying to this charge Smith says: "Mr. Albert Howell charged that I had represented S. D. Dempsey in a case against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company; that I had settled the Dempsey case with the railroad company for $1,500; that I kept $1,000 of the money and had settled with Dempsey on the basis of only having collected $2,500 from the railroad company. "The statement of Mr. Howell are absolutely false. "If Albert Howell will swear that I or my firm at any time received an offer of settlement in Dempsey's case of $3,500, or any other sum greater than $2,500, or that in the offer of settlement the company was undertaking to pay Dempsey $1,500, or that I used the Dempsey case to increase my fees in other cases, as Albert Howell insinuates. I will indict him for false swearing and I will put stripes on his back and shackles around his legs as a common token in the State penitentiary." It is expected that the result will be a personal encounter between Howell and Hoke. A duel is talked, but though Southern men sometimes challenge each other, they have never been known to fight a duel. CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTEES REFUSED IN DEPARTMENTS Government Officials Permit Two Instances of Discrimination. WASHINGTON, August 13. The Ree reports the following instances of discrimination on account of color in the Government departments here: Last week a young Afro-American boy had been certified by the Civil Service Commission to the Interior Department in the Pension Office as a messenger. When he presented his letter, which stated that he had been appointed to a messengership, he was told that the place had just been filled. This was not true. The matter was reported to The Ree and the editor, Mr. Chase, called at the Pension Office with the young man and presented him to the First Assistant Commissioner of Pensions, Mr. Dyerport, who asked to invest into the matter and report. Up to date the editing of The Ree has heard nothing from the Pension, Office and neither has the boy, who is a graduate of the public schools in this city. On Monday another case was reported to the editor of The Bee by Mr. George W. Hill, of Arlington, Va., who received a letter on the 25th of July to report to Quartermaster Butts. His standing was 19. When he presented his letter he was told to wait a few moments and the Bee would inform him that the place had just been filled. It is quite evident, thinks The Bee, that the President doesn't know that the Afro-American Civil Service applicants are being discriminated against in the several departments by these prejudiced understrappers. Alabama Baptist Fine Lot of Young Men MONTGOMERY, Ala., August 10.—The Afro-American Baptists of Alabama after five days of hard work concluded this week the most successful mission held in sixteen years. The convention has been attended by representative Afro-Americans from all parts of the State, and eminent men and women, and business. The delegation was composed of an aggressive set of young men who are a credit to their race. Edward V. Kraus 603' 605, 607, 609, 611 and 613 NINTH AVE.

Your Patronage Solicited Strong and Honest Movement Which Should Command Support, Strong and Honest Movement Which Should Command Support, There is a little sign that the Republicans are waking up in Alabama. They have called not a convention, but a primary election for all State officers to be held in September, and a weekly paper, The Southern American, has been started in Alexander City to represent them. We are interested to see who are invited to take part in this primary, for we recall that Democratic primaries in Texas have been declared within their legitimate rights in excluding Negroes and white persons who are elected out of regard to past political affiliations, who believe in the principles of the Republican Party as administered and maintained by President Roosevelt, are invited to take part. Yet when we observe that the chairman of the Republican dier, one might suspect that the call was meant only for "lily, whites," until he reads further in this new paper that rich and poor, great and humble, have equal rights as citizens; and a long article by Joseph C. Manning is devoted to showing that giving the ballot to the Negro only would be insufficient, the Declaration of Independence and that bold usages upon the suffrage rights of the blacks" has had a double result, for the result is that "the right of suffrage is being subfurged away from thousands of whites, as well as from practically all the blacks." A strong and hongest Republican movement in the South ought to invite and expect the equal support of all men without respect to race. We have read with profit and great satisfaction Roscoe Conkling Bruce's very first book in "The Twukepe Student of last week on "The Economic Future of the Negro." It is one of the most apparently safest statistical articles on economic conditions of the Negro in the South and especially of Alabama we ever saw, and while we do not agree with all its conclusions we regard it as a splendid document for study. Roscoe Conkling Bruce is one of the brainiest as well as most cultured and industrious young men in the race, and he should the more often give the race the benefit of his ability. aug 10-05-1y Successors to L.

DEAS IS CHAIRMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICVS Capera' Faction Sent Steam Roller Over Cochran's Men. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 10.—The Republican-State convention met yesterday for the purpose of electing a State chairman and reorganizing the executive committee. The only contest of the convention was the selection of a chairman. The faction led by John G. Capers supported Edmund H. Dens, an Afro-American, who was elected by a vote of SS to 26 over John R. Tolbert, supported by another faction headed by District Attorney Ernest P. Cochran. Capers and his friends dominated and were in complete control of the convention. Resolutions were adopted congratulating the country on its continued prosperity, commending the work of both houses of Congress and the "patriotic" President of the United States. It was decided not to put out a state ticket. 15 Pass Ala. Exams for Teachers.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. A SURGEON OF MERIT Dr. A. M. Curtis Has an Excellent Standing in Washington AN ENERGETIC CAREER Chief Surgeon of Freedmen's and Consulting Surgeon of Many Other Institutions WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—The coming convention of the National Medical Association of Colored Physicians and Dentists at Philadelphia, August 21, 22 and 23, will bring together the foremost men of the Afro-American race in the medical profession. Among those from the Nation's Capital will be Dr. A. M. Curtis, a man who has won for himself a splendid reputation as a surgeon. He is down on the program for a paper on the subject. "The Importance of Early Operations in Acute Abdominal Diseases." In addition to this he will hold surgical clinics in several of the well-known hospitals of Philadelphia. His work will be of a most interesting character because Dr. Curtis brings to it a splendid training scholastically and professionally. He is a graduate of Lincoln University, where he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts; and he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Northwestern University in Chicago. He DR. A. M. CURTIS. has had a large private practice and has been unusually honored in a public way by his connection with hospitals. He was the first man of his race appointed on the staff of Cook county Hospital in Chicago. He was also surgeon to Provident Hospital of the same city, until he was appointed surgeon in chief of the Friedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C., the most coveted public position held by an Afro-American physician in this country. At present he is the consulting surgeon to Richmond Hospital, Richmond, Va., the Provident Hospital, Baltimore, Md., and the Jackson Hospital, Rhuefield, W. Va. Dr. Curtis has performed many operations in the Garfield Hospital of this city, one of the best appointed institutions in the District of Columbia. He is the associate professor of surgery at Howard University, and is a very able and popular instructor. During the winter Dr. Curtis is called upon to visit many Southern cities where he holds surgical clinics. His most important engagement of this nature will be a clinic at Mercy Hospital at Nashville, Teen., for the benefit of the students of Maharry Medical College. In the near future Dr. Curtis will open a large and well-equipped sanitarium in Washington, which will be a great convenience, not only to his own patients, but to those of other physicians. The number of Afro-Americans who require surgical treatment and who can afford to pay for it is increasing every day. Such a place as a large, well-appointed sanitarium will be a boon to them, and Dr. Curtis' project is bound to be a success from the day it opens its doors. An effort like this makes its promoter a public benefactor. Philip A. Payton, Jr. 4 Rooms and Bath, Steam Heat and Hot Water Supply. Open Plumbing.

PHILADELPHIA, August 14.—In a cell at the Fourth District station house last night two Jamaicans were being treated for sore throat and coughs which threatened pneumonia, caused by sudden change of temperature. While the stewner Ethelwold, from Port Antonio, was being relieved of her cargo of bananas yesterday morning, at pier 12, North Wharves, a customs official saw crouched, far down in the vessel's hold, two stowaways, who had made the voyage without knowledge of her ship's crew. For six days the two men had subsisted upon bananas, had slept on bananas, and had seen nothing but bananas. All the time they went without water. The stowaways were thin and weak, and soon after being pulled from their hiding place, where the thermometer was 118 degrees, developed colds, which may thwart the government's rule that immigrants of that class must be shipped back home. One of the stowaways is Billy Gum, 23 years old, and the other Charlie Lorece, who is 19. They laid last night, that they dared the dangers of a stolen trip because they had heard there were bellow on Lombard street that were dreams compared to the dangers of Port Antonio. 248-250 W. 62d Street 3 and 4 Rooms.

The Afro-American whom the police charge with being responsible for Ferguson's injuries, is Ernest Holmes. He was locked up in the Eighth and Lombard street station after Policeman Connor had rescued him from the infuriated passengers, all of whom witnessed the incident. The Afro-American's net, according to the policeman, was caused by his desire to revenge a fancied insult uttered by a friend of Ferguson.

M. E. church at the august 1 session of the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Concern. It best suits my purpose to speak of relation of the British Government the Natives of, South Africa, as the native of the African continent, with African literature—a term that is widely useful to the natives and steadily sent by them. Entrance of the British into South Africa. The entrance and advance of the British in South Africa may be briefly summarised thus: The British flag was first raised on Signal Hill, near Capetown, in 1630, though final occupation by the British did not take place until 1808, which was obtained by conquest from Holland, and embraced Cape Colony. The population at this time numbered 1000 whites, 7000 free Africans, August 8, 1843, Natal was reclaimed a British colony. The territory embraced in the Orange Free State, now the Orange River colony, was first settled by the Boers in 1858. The term boer means Dutch farmer. The Orange Free State was annexed to the British Empire by conquest May 24, 1900, and its name changed to the Orange River colony. In 1836 the Boers first crossed the Vaal into the territory out of the Cape. public. In course of time a system of government was established, and in 1853 independence was recognized by Great Britain. October 11, 1850, witnessed the signing of the British Boer war, which suited in the annexation of the Transal Republic to the British Empire, was agreed to May 31, 1902. This made gave the British undisputed possession of all South Africa from the Cape of Good Hope on the south to the Zambesi River on the north, and madepossible Cape-to-Euroland railway. Cape South Africa now includes Cape Colony, Natal, Orange River Colony, the Transvaal, Swaziland, Bastoland, Bochina, Protectorate, and Rhodesia. Cape Colony includes the territories of Straits Griquainland, Pondoland and British Bechuanaland. The total area embraced in British South Africa may be estimated at 1,500,000 square miles, one-fifth the total area of North America. Population. The population of South Africa is divided into four classes—European or white, 'aborines or natives, colored or mixed bloods of African and European descent, and Asiatic, of whom there are about 110,000, chiefly from India, population of 1,135,000; natives, 4,625,000; colored, 324,000. fivevement well defined and insistent purpose of the European element to make South Africa a white man's country. It fact, the term a white man's country is as much in vogue in South Africa as it is in Georgia or Mississippi. When the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies shall have obtained self-government, the future of the natives in those colonies and Natal will indeed be gloomy and foreboding. The affairs of the crown colonies are directed and managed by an improvement by the aid of a governor and a legislative council. the governor being appointed by the imperial government to whose approval all the acts of the legislative council are subject, and without whose consent no act can become effective. Land Tract. In no part of South Africa do the natives enjoy the right to purchase and sell land. The nearest thereto is in Cape Colony, but even there a restriction exists so that a native owner of land cannot dispose of it without the permission of the natives can purchase land under restrictions. In the Orange River Colony they can neither purchase nor lease land. In the Transvaal the natives may acquire land, but the title thereto must be registered in the name of the Commissioner of Native Affairs, and cannot be disposed of without his consent, and appraisal. Suffrage. In Cape Colony and Rhodesia the natives and colored people enjoy equal suffrage with the whites. There are two qualifications—education and property. Ability to write name, address and occupation fulfills the educational qualification. Occupation of building or land, or both, for twelve months (in Rhodesia six months) to the value of $75 mea the property qualification, though the receipt of $300 per annum, will be accepted in lieu of the occupation of building or land. In 1983 in Cape Colony there were 8,117 native voters, 1,225 Hottentots and 10,162 colored. In Rhodesia there were 51 native voters. In Natal the suffrage qualification is twelve years' residence in Natal, seven years' exemption from native law, certificate of good character and the consent of the governor. In Natal the suffrage qualification is twelve years' residence. Practically speaking, it is only in Cape Colony that the natives enjoy the right of suffrage to any appreciable extent. Schools for the training of the native youth may be divided into two classes—government and missionary. In 1903 there were 60,857 native youth in government schools in Cape Town; 81,754 in the Orange River Colony; 80,144 in the Orange River Colony; in Bastouland, 10,484. The total amount expended per annum is about $15,000, though the domiciled natives in those colonies contribute $3,500,00 per annum in direct taxation. It is a burning shame that only 10 per cent, of the amount annotated in the taxation book, is applied to the way of direct taxation should be applied to the education of their children. Mission Schools. It is the crowning glory of the workers in foreign missionary fields that they have always sought to enlighten the minds of the benighted. Hence the mission schools have been a most potent and valuable factor in the awakening of the native mind in South Africa. The intelligent missionary has not been slow to recognize that one sure way of aid to the missionaries through a many great and inexhaustible long years of service in noble and persistent effort to advance the native youth of South Africa intellectually. Notably among them the Rev Dr. Stewart, latter deceased, and who for thirty years was the principal of the famous Loveville Industrial Institute in Cape Colony Loveville was founded in 1451, long before Hampton or Tuskegee was thought of, and during the sixty-five years of its existence has proved a wonderful source of help and inspiration to thousands of whom have received training there. About 1,100 of these are engaged as missionaries, evangelists, teachers, interpreters, clerks to magistrates, assistants in postal and telegraph work, law agents and clerks and employees in railway and police work. About 1,500 others are engaged in farming, general labor, transport service, and in the diamond and gold fields. Three have become editors and four hotel proprietors. The chief of Loveville is industrial, which includes printing, bookbinding, carpentry, wagon making, blacksmithing, leatherworking, and domestic home service and domestic home service for girls from the Loveville press a large number of native bursaries, "Tilgirim's Progress" in Kaffir, and other publications have been issued, as well as several English works. The annual expense is now about 5,000, nearly half of the money paid by the native themselves. The London Mission Society has recently held the foundation of an institute for the education of the sons of native chiefs. It is to cost $20,000. A similar institution is now under course of creation in Bassteland under the auspices of some French Catholic missionaries. Twenty-five thousand dollars, one half the cost of its construction, was raised by the late paramount chief of Bassteland from among his own people. To this amount the government added $25,000. The American Board of Foreign Mission has a number of mission schools in Zululand which have been operated since 1851. Zululand is the capital of Cape Town, is in one respect at least, a most unique institution. Unique in this that it is an interacial institution. Interacial in that it provides for the education of white, colored and native students. There are separate dormitories for each, and the annual expenses are differentiated, the whites paying the highest and the natives the lowest. It is one of the institutions of the Anglochurch, and one in which the Archdiocese of Cape Town takes a great deal of interest. It has a complete college curriculum, and the professors are graduates of Oxford and Harvard University. No Great Intellectual Native Lum- naries. South Africa has not yet produced any great native intellectual luminaries. The day of opportunity has been too brief for much. There are three necessa- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. pers conducted by natives, one by a colored man and one by a native of West Africa. Thus far but one native, the Rev. John Dube, of Natal, has distinished himself by founding an institution of learning. He is a product of the mission schools maintained by the American Board of Foreign Missions has made several trips to America, and has taken him to various parts of New England. The present tendency is to repress the aspirations of the native youth rather than encourage them. This is due to the salubility of the South African climate which makes it possible for the white man to live there and to thrive and propagate his species. It is to be noted that in any where the cereals, such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, etc., cattle can be successfully raided there from the native lands, crease his kind. Added to the salubility of the climate of South Africa is its vast mineral wealth. It may indeed be spoken of as a land of untold wealth. In order to make his future in South Africa secure the European is planting and extending all the agencies and equipment of modern civilization. There are now over 5,000 miles of railroad in operation. The trolley car and the automobile are evidence in Sallaland, the populous capital of telephone and telegram extend to the remote rural districts. That the European may be secure against any possible general uprising on the part of the natives, the latter are corralled in locations and must obtain a pass before they can go from one colony to another, even in search of work. The natives cannot live where they please, but must live in such locations as the government may designate. An universal system of movements of the natives. The university and effectiveness of the system is marvelous. The European has energetically addressed himself to the task of making South Africa a white man's country in fact as well as in sentiment. The Disturbing Factor Within recent years a disturbing factor has made its appearance in South Africa in the person of the American Negro. He has not proved a disturbing factor because he has in truth or reality initiated the natives to sedition, disloyalty or robellion, but because he has impressed the natives with the need of organizing a native church largely under their own direction and control. The alarmists declare that the greatest evil that has befell South Africa is the organization of the African Methodist Episcopal church of this country stands sponsor. The alarmists argue that independence in church on the part of the natives ultimately means independence in State or in other words, native domination in governmental affairs. Every effort in being put forth to repress the natives aspiration for an independent church Natal has led off by the adoption of an ordinance that no native minister shall be allowed to hold services in a native location, unless he is a native minister who himself must reside in the location—a most radical measure, subservience of religion if not of personal liberty. It is quite possible that when the Transnatal and Orange River colonies shall have obtained a similar ordinance. This is regarded as the most method of making impossible a black man's church under native control. The presence of the American Negro in South Africa, while an disturbing factor, has caused the scales of servility and self-esteem inferiority to fall off. He has more than he has practically forced the various governments and religions in providing for the religious and educational welfare of the natives. Movement is now on foot to found an intercolonial and interdenominational college for the higher education of native youth, which will alleviate the necessity of going either to Europe or America for classical training. In all probability this institution will enhance a course in medicine. This movement is precipitated by the knowledge of the fact that a large number of South African schools of the A. M. E. church of America. The American Negro may now be deferred from South Africa, but the spirit of liberty, independence and manhood that has been arisen among the natives can never die. The American Negro is dreaded because of his advanced position in civilization and because he holds from a republican and not from a monarchial form of government. He is considered to be the best and most prestigious that the African stock has yet produced. Nowhere on the face of the African Negro or the descendants of Africans, so far advanced in civilization, so well housed and clothing, and so strongly equipped with industrial, religious, moral, intellectual, scientific, political and economic genius and energy as the ten millions of the descendants of Africa in America. It is this unparalleled advancement that makes the American Negro such an object of dread and suspicion in South Africa, there being great fear he might instill in the natives an unnatural and independent so characteristic of a republican form of government. The American Negro, whether a missionary, teacher or trader, will find South Africa a hostile region. Present conditions do not point to the successful operation of any American Negro church, conditions that will continue to exist until the success or failure of the present fixed purpose to Europeanize South Africa, and make it the permanent home of the white man, is demonstrated. If denied access to South Africa, the American Negro into West and Central Africa, where he cannot find ample room for the fall exercise of his best and highest physical, moral and intellectual energies. The little Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, is in itself a most inviting field. But of this I have not time to speak at length. Despite all opposing forces the American Negro has made advances and will continue to do so, though as individuals we cannot reach our highest achiever. ments on American soil. There are doubtless times when some of us feel more or less discouraged and feel the approach of the gathering shadows of grim despair, even in the book of the stirring and encouragement set by the stirring and inspiring poetical tribute paid to the unflinching courage and dogged persistence of Christopher Columbus by Joaquín Miller: Behidh him lay the gray Azores, Behidh the gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores, Before him only shopless areas. The good mate paid: "Now we must pray, Brave Admiral, speak, what shall I say?" "Why, say, Sail on! Sail on!" "My men grow My men grow -- by day; My men grow ghantly, wan and weak." The stout mate thought of home; a spray we were wash in swardy cheek. "What shall we, bave Admiral, say? If we sight nought but was dawn?" Why, you shall say at break of day, 'Sall on! sall on! sall on! and on!' They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow. They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate: "This mad sea sea has his teeth to night. He curls his lip, he lies in wait. With lifted feet as if to bite: Brave Admiral, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leap like a leaping sword: "Sall on! sall on! sall on! and on!" Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck, And peered through darkness. Ah, that night FLEMING'S ADDRESS. Saya Disfranchisement In Unworthy of the White Race. From The Independent There is hardly a man more honored in Georgia than the Hon. William Henry Fleming of Augusta, Ga. He served six year in Congress, has been Speaker of the Georgia Legislature and President of the State Bar Association. No man's voice can properly command more respect in the State Bar Association. Mr Fleming gave the address before the Alumni Association of the State University at Athens at its late commencement, and his address is printed and is one of the most notable of the numerous commencement addresses. He discussed "Slavery and the Race Problem in the South, with special reference to the State of Georgia." We would commend it to all who are willing to be interested in what is really the most difficult and tremendous question and provide both the social question of labor and the political and moral question of human rights. One month before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as President in 1861 Alexander Stephens, one of the ablest and best men in the Confederacy, and later, one of the best reconstructed, in a famous speech said that the cornerstone of the Confederacy was had on the principle that the natural place of the Negro is in subordination to the white man. He said: "From this our social table is firmly planted, and I cannot permit myself to doubt the ultimate success of the full recognition of this principle throughout the civilized and enlightened world." And yet source two years later slavery was abolished in the United States, and Brazil, the only other Christian slave-holding country, abolished the institution a few years later. Mr. Fleming accepts, as nearly all Southern white writers do, the assumption of Negro racial inferiority, but he sees the flaw in Mr. Stephens' argument, for that would give superior white men the right to enslave inferior whites. He says that the fear of Negro domination is utterly hardest, and then he proceeds to ask for a policy of absolute justice for all race in law and its administration. He would not ballot taken from the Negro, for without the ballot "No inferior race could long protect itself against reduction to slavery in many of its substantial forms—and God knows the South wants no more of that curse." Mr. Fleming believes in the educational qualification for the suffrage, but he wants it administered with absolute impartiality. The "grandfather clause" was an attempt to nullify the educational test, by admitting white illiterates while shutting out the black. It is, he declares, unconstitutional. He refers to the bureaucratic campaign in Georgia, where both Clark Howell and Hoke Smith are pledged to shut out the Negro in some way from the ballot, the latter by an educational qualification or understanding clause. He says: "The scheme must be to disfranchise the Negro by a fraudulent administration of the law. Of course, the officers of registration are to be white. An easy paragraph for the white applicant, a difficult paragraph for the Negro applicant, and an easy explanation from a white applicant, the selection of any sort of an explanation from a Negro applicant—there you have the hidden cards with which the game of cheat is to be played. And it is on this miserable bared-faced scheme of fraud that our proud and noble people are asked to rest their safety and their civilization." So he would give the Negro justice and equal political rights. He would not have laws enacted to limit the education of the Negro in the public schools: Official Setting of "The Moon." "The Moon has suspended. Please take us from our exchange list, until we re-issue it." Alison K. This is the same note without date or postmark, which the former publishers of The Moon are sending out to exchanges. The Moon was a monthly publication published at Memphis, Tenn., with an editor whose postoffice address was Atlanta, Ga. THE SHOT CHAPTER I. We were stationed in the little town of N——. The life of an officer in the army is well known. In the morning, drill and the riding-school; dinner with the Colonel or at a Jewish restaurant; in the evening, punch and cards. In there was not one open door, not a shining carriageable girl. We used to meet in each other's rooms, where, except our uniforms, we never saw anything. One civilian only was admitted into our society. He was about thirty-five years of age, and therefore we looked upon him as an old fellow. His experi-ence gave him great advantage over us and his habitual taciturnity, stern position and caustic tongue produced a hop impression upon our young minds, and our own experience he had the appearance of a Russian, although his name was a foreign one. He had formerly served in the Hussars, and with distinction. Nobody knew the cause that had induced him to retire from the service and settle in a wretched little village, where he lived poorly and, at the same time, extravagantly. He all ways went on foot, and constantly wore a shabby black overcoat, but the officers of our company were at his table. His dinners, it is true, never consisted of more than two or three dishes, prepared by a retired soldier, but the champagne flowed like water. Nobody knew what his circumstances were, or what his income was, and nobody dared to question him about them. He had a collection of books, consisting chiefly of works on military matters and a few novels. He willingly took his place in the army, asked for them back; on the other hand, he never returned to the owner the books that were lent to him. His principal amusement was shooting with a pistol. The walls of his room were riddled with bullets, and were as full of holes as a honeycomb. A rich collections of pistols was the only luxury in the humble bottle where he lived. The skill which he had, acquired with his favorite weapon, was used to shoot a pearl off somebody's forage-cap, not a man in our regiment would have hesitated to place the object upon his head. Our conversation often turned upon ducks. Silvio so I will call him—never joined in it. When asked if he had ever fought, he drily replied that he had; but outcame into no particulars, and it was not until he came to his liking. We came to the conclusion that he had upon his conscience the memory of some unhappy victim of his terrible skill. Moreover, it never entered into the head of any of us to suspect him of anything like cowardice. There are persons whose mere look is unimpressed by a suspicion that an unexpected incident occurred which extended us all. One day, about tour of our officers dined with Silvia. They drank as usual, that is to say, a great deal. After dinner we asked our hour to hold the bank for a game at faro. For a long time he refused, for he hardly ever played, for he hardly ever could be beaten, he half hated him upon the table, and sat down to deal. We took our places round him, and the play began. It was Silvia's custom to preserve a complete silence when playing. He never disputed, and never entered into explanations. If the painter made a mistake in calculating, he immediately paid him the difference or noted down the surplus. We were acquainted with this habit of his, and we always allowed him to do this, and this occasion was an officer who had recently been transferred to our regiment. During the course of the game, this officer absently scored one point too many. Silvia took the chalk and noted down the correct account according to his usual custom. The officer, thinking that he had made a mistake, began to enter into explanations. The officer, losing patience, took the brush and rubbed out what he considered was rwang. Silvia took the chalk and corrected the score again. The officer, hosted with wine, play, and the laughter of his comrades, considered himself grossly insulted, and in his rage, he soiled a brass candlestick from the table, and hurled it at Silvia, who barely succeeded in avoiding the missile. The were filled with anger with exasperation with glancing eyes, said: "My dear sir, have the goodness to withdraw, and thank God that this has happened in my house." None of us entertained the slightest doubt as to what the result would be, and we already looked upon our new comrade as a dead man. The officer withdrew, saying that he was ready to answer for his offence in whatever way the banker liked. The play went on for a few minutes longer, but feeling that our host was no longer interested in the game, we withdrew one after the other, and requested to our respective quarters, to work upon the probability of there soon being a vacancy in the regiment. The next day, at the riding school, we were already asking each other if the poor lieutenant was still alive, when he himself appeared among us. We put the same question to him, and he replied that he had not yet heard from Silvio. This astonished us. We went to Silvio's house and found him in the courtyard shooting bullet after him into an area pasted upon the gate. He received us as usual, but did not utter a word about the situation. We days passed, and the lieutenant was still alive. We asked each other in astonishment: "Can it be possible that Silvio is not going to fight?" Silver did not fight. IF he was satisfied with a very lame explanation, and became reconciled to his assailant. This lowered him very much in the eyes of the people. Of courage is the last thing to be honored by young men, who usually look upon bravery as the chief of all human virtues, and the excuse for every posi- ble fault. But, by degrees, everything former influences, I alone could not approach him on the old footing. Being endowed by nature with a romantic imagination, I had become attached more than all the others to the man whose life was an enigma, and who seemed to me the hero of some mysterious drama. He was fond of me; at least, with me alone 'did he drop his customary sarcastic tone, and conversed in objects in a simple and unusually agreeable manner, unhicky evening, the thought that his honor had been tarnished, and that the stain had been allowed to remain upon it in accordance with his own wish, was ever present in my mind, and prevented me treating him as before. I was ashamed to look at him. Silvio was too intelligent and experienced not to observe this and guess the cause of it. This seemed to vex him: at least I observed once or twice a desire on his part to be a comrade, and I avoided such opportunities, and Silvio gave up the attempt. From that time forward I saw him only in the presence of my comrades, and our confidential conversations came to an end. The inhabitants of the capital, with minds occupied by so many matters of business and pleasure, have no idea of the many sensations so familiar to the inhabitants of villages and small towns, as, for instance, the awaiting the arrival of the post. On Tuesdays and Fridays we regimented bureau used to be filled with information, money, some letters, and others newspapers. The packets were usually opened on the spot, items of news were communicated from one to another, and the bureau used to present a very animated picture. Silvio used to have his letters addressed to our regiment, and he was generally there to receive them. One day he received a letter, the seal of which he broke with a look of great impatience. As he read the contents, his eyes sparkled. The officers, each occupied with his own letters, did not observe anything. "Gentlemen," said Silvio, "circumstance denial my immediate departure; I leave you alone, I will not refuse to dine with me for the last time. I shall expect you, too," he added, turning towards me. "I shall expect you without fail." With these words he hastily departed, and we, after agreeing to meet at Silio's, dispersed to our various quarters. I arrived at Silio's house at the appointed time, and found nearly the whole regiment there. All his things were already packed; nothing remained but the bare, bullet-riddled walls. We sat down to table. Our host was in an excellent humour, and his gaiety was quickly communicated to the rest. Corks popped every moment, glasses foamed incessant.

July 2013 New York City. 20-31m ly, and with the utmost warmth, we wished our departing friend a pleasant journey and every happiness. When we rose from the table it was already late in the evening. After having wished everybody good-bye, Silvio took me by the hand and detained me just at the moment when I was preparing to depart. "I want to speak to you," he said in a low voice. I stopped behind. The guests had departed, and we two were left alone. Sitting down opposite each other, we silently lit our pipe. Silvio seemed greatly troubled; not a tracer remained of his former convulsive gale. The intense pallor of his face, his sparkling eyes, and the thick smoke issuing from his mouth, gave him a truly diabolical appearance. Several minutes elapsed, and then Silvio broke the silence. "Perhaps we shall never see each other again," said he; "before we part, I should like to have an explanation with you. You may have observed that I care very little for the opinion of other bible I like you, and I feel that it would be painful to me to leave you with a wrong impression. He paused, and began to knock the ashes out of his pipe. I sat gazing silently at the ground. "You thought it strange," he continued, "that I did not demand satisfaction from that drunken idiot. R—— You will admit, however, that having the choice of weapons, his life was in my hands, while my own was in no great danger. I could ascribe my forbearance to generosity alone, but I will not tell you I could have chastised R—— without the least risk to own life, I should never have pardoned me. I looked at Silvio with astonishment. Such a confession completely astounded me. Silvio continued; " Exactly so: I have no right to expose myself to death. Six years ago I received a slap in the face, and my enemy still lives." My curiosity was greatly excited. "Did you not fight with him?" I asked. "Circumstances probably separated you." I did fight with him," replied Silvio: "and I came in a souvenir of our duel." Silvio rose and took from a cardboard box a red pill with tissue and embroidery (what the French call a sort de police); he put it on—a bullet had passed through it about an inch above the forehead. "You know," continued Silvio, "that I served in one of the Hussar regiments. My character is well-known to you: I am accustomed to taking the lead. From my youth this has been my passion. In our time dissoluteness was the fashion, and I was the most outrageous man in the army. We used to boast of our drunkenness: I beat in a drinking boat the famous Hoursoff, of whom Denla Dumbo has sung. Duela in our regiment were constantly taking place, and in all of them I was the only or principal.

Dr. Cooper preached effectively at the morning service Sunday and after the session of the. Sunday school in the afternoon the regular monthly communion was partaken of and everyone seemed especially lifted up in spirit so that when the time came for singing in the morning the assembled intently waiting for their last spiritual meal for the day—but their hopes were suddenly dashed to pieces when a local preacher—Brother Dehore—ascended the pulpit and began a rambling discourse which had no basis whatsoever. Brother Dehore was hopelessly lost and made a miserable failure. The congregation however was charitable and stood it out and a sigh of relief swept over when the brother found a perplexed We. to hear the ambassadors for Christ but the sun of intelligence in scriptural knowledge of Jesus Christ to intelligent congregations of people. At the Bethany Baptist church on Vanderbilt avenue, Rev. J. F. Blair and congregation were busy all day.

Timms continues to lead the Holy Trinity Baptist church into green pastures of spiritual grace, and they are working as never before since they are in their new home.

This club is composed of young misses who felt disposed to do something tangible to help furnish the new church so they banded themselves together and called themselves the "B. B. P. Club." The result of their effort in a very short while was the purchase of a handmade set of pulpit furnishings at a cost of $123 and on Monday night after entering the church on Sunday, presented to the pastor and trustees of the church to the People's Baptist Union and the Literary Society are all in good working condition. Rev. Timms will spend a part of this vacation this month in the South as usual.
