Feature Bad at Offense of Good News and Discourage the Young—Bulkley Talks Dr. Washington was unspecifically present at the meeting at Mr. Olivet church last Thursday night in the interest of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York. He made a speech along his usual lines in advocacy of hand training, but his casual criticism of the general policy of Afro-American newspapers attracted most attention. He deprecated their tendency toward yellow journalism in featuring news about oppressions and wrongs at the expense of news of a more encouraging completion. "Why," said Dr. Washington, "if a sandwich is refused a colored man at a railroad station restaurant, it gets more space in the newspapers of our race than if that same colored man had successfully founded a bank. I don't say the sandwich ought to have been refused him. Probably it oughtn't. But it is a mere the progress of our race. Don't hold up such unworthy incidents to dishearten our boyhood." Mr. Washington said that the Afro-American people, while they needed mental discipline needed all the hand training they could get because their wants increased as their education progressed. The race needed constantly better houses, clothing and surroundings, and if it couldn't get them there would be much misery. "And the black man doesn't always find the door of employment so open in the North as it is in the South," he added. "There are plenty of ways to spend money here, and not so many in which to earn it. We must teach our young people to save their money. We must come to have the reputation of a spending, thrifless and poverty-striken race. It is vitally necessary for the progress of our race that we become creators of enterprises and not depend on the good will and the energy of other races. One of our greatest obstacles is that most other races associate the color, of our faces with poverty. We are known as a poverty-striken race. We must profit by doing the Italian and the German immigrant, the Italian and here unable to speak a word of our tongue. But they work hard and they save, and they wind up by becoming bank presidents and directors and the controllers of great industrial enterprises." Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who was unexpectedly called to Washington at a late hour, was expected to deliver the principal address. Dr. Washington took his place on the program. Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman told of the opportunities for trade training offered Afro-American girls by the Manhattan Trade School and presented practical suggestions to the girls intending to learn trades. She described the readiness with which employers take Afro-American girls at present, and said that the records of the school showed that, whereas of two inferior girl girls, the latter and one Afro-American, the latter be discharged first; on the other hand, an Afro-American girl sent to an employer would always be retained, and in some cases the employer would request another Afro-American girl. For the reason that either good work or bad work seems to attract more attention in Afro-American work-women than in white, Mrs. Woolman urged the people to send their best girls to the school for trade training, and so help to build up a good reputation for Afro-American work-women. Prof. William L. Bulley, who is the father of the committee, delivered an address which was well received. He said in part: "It is fundamental to the best development that every man should feel that he has an equal opportunity to compete with all other men in the struggle for existence. Close up any avenue for honest and remunerative employment, and you in just such a degree earn one's usefulness as a citizen. Carry the information into nearly all the avenues of employment where intelligence and skill are required, and you still laudable aspirations, provoke discouragement and invite all the evils that an idle brain can conceive. "The exact status of the Afro-Americans of this city we hope to know when our investigations are completed. Taking the last census, however, for our present guide, we find that out of 57,000 Afro-Americans over ten years of age at work in this State, 40,000 were engaged in service more or less than they do not tack mental service as a kind of aid, for till the end of time there must cover of wood and drawers of water. We do deplore in the too common use of restrictions the black man to kinds of employment. We do the door of hope and of opinion should be closed against, any where in this land is unfortunate there should be such restricts is great and glorious city of time a cause of deep regret; contends the oppressed. What a satisfaction it now that the day was not in the only test required any employment would acter!" classes pupils of Prof. 80, sang three songs The New York Age. MONTGOMERY, Ala., September 24.—At the solicitation of Dr. W. R. Pettiford, the Afro-American banker of Birmingham, a number of Afro-American citizens of Montgomery gathered recently and took steps toward the organisation of a savings bank in Montgomery. The citizens were addressed by Dr. Pettiford who reviewed and explained every phase of the banking business. A number of those present signified their intention of subscribing liberally to the capital stock, which Dr. Pettiford said should be $50,000. From among the prospective stock holders a committee was appointed which will fix the number and value of the shares of stock. Subscriptions will also be paid. It will probably be time later before the bank is organised and officers and directors are elected. Dr. Pettiford said last night that an effort will be made to open the bank within thirty days. Dr. Pettiford is president of the Penny Savings Bank in Birmingham, which office he has held for sixteen years. This financial institution is capitalized at $25,000. He is also president of the National Negro Bankers' Association, which is under the supervision of the National Negro Business League. Among the citizens of Montgomery interested in the prospect of a Birmingham Billy Cash Bank, N. H. Alexander, Dr. D. H. C. Scott, W. E. Means, W. H. Fagin, John N. Brown, V. H. Tulane, William Hill and George W. Newstelle. AUSTIN NOW HAS AUTO TO FIGHT SEPARATE STREET CARS Big Vehicle Seating IS Cause a Sensation in Texas Town. AUSTIN, Tex. September 22.—Last week a sensation was produced by the appearance on the streets of this city of a big automobile capable of carrying 18 passengers. Nothing like it was ever seen in Austin before. It is the property of the Union Transportation Company, which is using the vehicle to fight Austin's new "Jim Crow" cars. The boycott on the street cars is seriously impairing the income of the street car company. Seven White Men Convicted on Forty-farger Counts in Mineola. CAPE GIRARDEAU, Md., September 21. — The jury in the Smith case took 10-day returned a verdict of guilty against Chas. M. Smith and Charles M. Smith, Jr., and the five tenants of their farms on the eleventh count in the peonage cases. The eleventh count of the forty-four indictments against the Smith family of the American, who was with President Roosevelt in Cuba and escaped from the shack on the farm by sawing his way through the floor at night. He was the strongest witness for the government. Sentence has not yet been passed. Judge Krum filed a motion for a new trial. May Be Barred Out of Georgia Because of Atlanta Riots. MACON, Ga., September 24.—The performance of Thomas Dixon's play "The Wednesday night, has been prohibited by the Mayor on account of the race riots in Atlanta. Steps will be taken, it is said, to keep the show out of Georgia entirely. CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE TURNED DOWN BY BOSSES John Evans of Illinois, Will Make Independent Campaign. EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill., September 24.—Mr. John Evans, who announced his candidacy recently for the Republican nomination in this district for the Illinois governor, left the campaign down by the bosses. He now announces that he will run as an independent candidate, appealing over the heads of the bosses to the people. BILL PROVIDING THAT NONE BUT WHITES MAY VOTE To Be Introduced in Florida to Test 15th Amendment. JACKSONVILLE, FL. September 20.—Hon. John S. Bread, State Senator and a prominent lawyer, has promised to introduce in the next Florida Legislature an amendment to the State constitution providing that none but white persons shall be eligible as electors in this State. His purpose is to test the legality of the Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Mr. Bread's bill would do with frankness what the South has heretofore dared to accomplish only by tergiversation. He would openly disfranchise Afro-Americans on account of their color, whereas the South has disfranchised them under the subterfuges of the "grandfather clauses," poll taxes and educational and property qualifications. Mr. Bread's proposed bill has thrown a violent scare into the Southern whites and has delighted Southern Afro-Americans. School Moves to Cheyney. PHILADELPHIA, September 24.—After occupying the Rainbridge street, near Sixth, for forty-nine years, the institute for Colored Youth began its year's work in the new quarters at Cheyney, Chester county, Friday. The school was moved from its city location to allow the introduction of manual training. The institution has a large enrollment of Afro-American boys and girls from every part of the country. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. HUGHES AND HEARST WIN Parsons and "Big Stick Are Victorious at Saratoga Both Candidates to be Named on First Ballet - Democratio SABATOGA, September. 26.—The "Big Stick" sourishing from Oyster Bay and the pertinacity of Herbert Parsons have assured the nomination of Charles E. Hughes, the insurance insuitor, for Governor on the Republican ticket The nomination will be by acclamation. There were booms for Ltut.-Gov. M. Lian Bruce, Timothy L. Woodruff, Frank S. Black, Senator Brackett and others, but the Hughes boom, like the rod of Aaron, has devoured all the other booms. Mr Hughes was from the first the candidate of the Odell-Quigg faction. BUFFALO. September 26.—The audacious and brilliant fight of William Randolph Hearst to capture the Democratic State organization and secure the regular nomination for Governor has succeeded. He will be nominated on the first ballot probably. The conquered faction, led by Jerome, McClellan, Senator McCarran and others, will either run an independent Democratic candidate or bolt to Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate. DRYDEN WHIPS COLBY ALL ALONG THE NEW JERSEY LINE Means Former's Re-election to the United States Senate. "The regular" Republican faction, representing the old machine element of the party, has won a complete victory in the New Jersey primaries. This involves the probable re-election of Senator John F. Dryden to the United States Senate. The results in some counties are slightly in doubt, but it is not believed that the general result will be changed. Primaries for both the Republican and Democratic parties were held all over the State Tuesday, in connection with the first day of registration for the fall elections. The most important issue all over the State was the struggle for control of the Republican party between the old machine, which supports Senator John F. Lepage, or re-election to the United States Senate, and the session of the Legislature, and the Collytte or "New Idea" element, which aimed at the downfall of the old machine, and incidentally at the election of George L. Record of Jersey City—or somebody else, Senator, and the nomination of Senator Everett Colly of Essex county for the Governorship next year. The hottest fights were in Hudson and Essex counties, each of which returns a very large delegation to the Assembly, but the Collyttes made an organized fight besides in the counties of Union, Passaic, Morris, Middlesex, Bergen, Burlington, Monmouth and Camden. "GEORGIA BAPTIST" MAN DRIVEN OUT OF AUGUSTA Dr. William J. White Leaves His Home Never to Return. AUGUSTA, Ga., September 25.—Dr. Wm. J. White, editor of *The Georgia Baptist*, and one of the best known Afro-Americans in the country, left Augusta to-day at noon never to return. His paper will be published no longer. Dr. White ventured recently to attack the "Jim" row on law of Savannah in the colonies of his paper. For this he was savagely denounced by *The Augusta Chronicle*, a white daily, which strongly hinted that for the sake of his health Dr. White had better leave town. Since then Dr. White has received several mysterious and impressive warnings that he must leave town. *The Georgia Baptist* is one of the best known Afro-American papers and one of the most prosperous. Dr. White not long ago introduced his own linetypplant. The Afro-Americans of Georgia in one of their most fearless champions. Some years ago Dr. White was ordered by the whites to leave Augusta on account of an article in his paper. Dr. White's son assumed responsibility for the article, and the father was allowed to stay on condition that the son should leave. Mysterious Society Said to Be at Bottom of It. LAGOS, West Africa, September 25.—The traders in the city of Renin, Southern Nigeria, have been campelled to flee because of a rising of the natives. Two Europeans have been killed. The British have had considerable trouble lately on account of the machinations of a native society called the Silent Ones, the business of, which is to incite the natives to reclaim Lagos. A British commissioner, the number of bellions tribe which had killed a British commissioner and, had defeated with heavy loss a column that had been sent to punish them. Afro-Americanism WWI, Curry Conduct to National Convention RICHMOND, Va., September 24 — "Lily Whiteism" is rampant in the ranks of the Republican party in this congressional district. To-morrow the district convention will be held in the city of Manchester to nominate a candidate for Congress in opposition to Captain John Lamb, the Democratic senator. As the nomination is but an empty honor it is doubtful as to whether or not a nomination will be made. But even with this condition of affair, the Lily Whites have been hard at work striving to keep Afro-American out of the convention and off the city and county committee. In Richmond City the party meets to-night to elect delegates to the convention and to elect a city chairman and members of the city committee. Afro-American Republicans, knowing the tactics to which the Lily Whites will resort to capture the organization, held a conference last Friday night in Central Hall, Hall. D, F. B. Hammers provided and George St. Julian Stephens acted as secretary. The conference delegates demand one-half of the delegates to the forty-six members of the city central committee and the chairmanship secretaryhip of the committee. In the event this is not accorded, the Afro-Americans will be "hands off" and will refuse to vote for the candidate who may be nominated, if there is a nomination made. This spirit of Lily Whitestine does not exist among the older elements in the party, but comes from a new breed of pot-house politicians who have recently sprung up in the districts and who are Republicans for the sole hope of getting a seat and elbow room at the "pile counter" or to oust others from the governmental swill trough and poke their own snouts in. This element is led by Major M. J. Buright, an ex-Union soldier, who came to Washington several years ago and who is now chief deputy in the office of the U. S. Marshall here. The fight begin with the Afro-American voters here is on and will be kept up for the next two years, to be ended only in the next. Republican National Convention. CITY PARTY MANDED Promised Her Nomination for Legislature; New Refuse St. PHILADELPHIA, September 22.—Before the last election in November the City Party organization of the Seventh Ward is said to have promised to support an Afro-American candidate for the Legislature. Last Tuesday night the Afro-American delegates to the ward convention attempted to realize this promise, and found that they had been handed a sarcastic lemon. Dr. Slow, an Afro-American, was nominated by Thomas Wallace Swann, but was defeated by the white candidate by 18 to 8. The Afro-Americans are threatening to take revenge. NINTH CAVALRY ORDERED TO SWELL STATION NEAR CHICAGO Four Troops to Leave Jefferson Harracks for Fort Sheridan. Chicago, September 22.—Something more than auild sensation was created the other day by the announcement that four troops of the Ninth Cavalry have been ordered from Jefferson Harracks, Mo., to Fort Sheridan near Chicago. This is the first time that Afro-American units are stationed so far East as Chicago. This fort has been the pride of Chicago aristocracy. It has been patronized as no other military post of the country, except perhaps West Point. The Afro-American soldiers have fully earned a right to the best of everything that belongs to the American army. Their one of the best equipped military posts in the country, will serve the good purpose of an object lesson to people who have had scant opportunity to see what is best in the race in this particular line. SWANSON, DANIEL AND LAMB TO SPEAK FOR GILES JACKSON Big Mass Meeting for Negro Exposition Company RICHMOND, September 24.—The Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company has arranged for a big mass meeting to be held in True Reformers' Opera Hall next Thursday night, at which time Col. Giles B. Jackson, the director general, will make a most exhaustive report concerning the work thus far accomplished by the company. Governor Swanson, Senator Daniel, Congressman Lamb and Mrs. A. M. Curtis will be among the speakers. Dr. Booker T. Washington and Congressman Goldgold of New York have also been invited to be present on the occasion. If hustling will make the cause of the Afro-American a success, then it will be, for Colonel Jackson is certainly a hustling article. Political Enthusiasm Cause a Fire. PHILADELPHIA, September 22.—Afro-American City Party workers in the second division held a rally Thursday night in the alleyway in the rear of 207 South Ninth street. Just to show their enthusiasm they set off a collection of fireworks left over from the Fourth of July. Unfortunately, a Roman candle set fire to an awning and the fire engine broke up the rally. Mrs. Mary Crozer, the owner of the awning, was very indignant, but as the total damage was only $5 or so, she calmed down and accepted the situation philosophically. Honor for an Editor. CHICAGO, September 24: -Editor King I, Chambers of the Rifl Cliff City News, Memphis, Tenn., enjoys the distraction of being the only Afro-American member of the American Weekly Publishers' Association of Chicago, Ill. ATLANTA SLAYS BLACK CITIZENS HOKE SMITH IS GUILTY Abominable Campaign of "The News" Also Responsible But Are Disarmed by Militia— Clark University Invested— Dr. Bowen Arrested The terrific strain upon the peaceful relations of the whites and Afro-Americans in Georgia burst them asunder last Saturday night in Atlanta. The outburst took the form of a frenzied massacre of Afro-Americans by the whites, which lasted two days. At least thirty Afro-Americans are known to have been butchered. The causes of the massacre are notorious. The disgraceful gubernatorial campaign of Hoke Smith stirred up race hatred all over the State, and especially in Atlanta. The reckless and daily featuring in the newspapers of alleged crimes and alleged attempted crimes of Afro-Americans upon white women infuriated the passions of the whites. The criminal offer of *The Atlanta News* of a reward of $1,000 for every lynching of Afro-Americans and that horrible newspaper's advocacy of a revival of the Ku Klux Klan are directly responsible for the Atlanta riots. The State militia now seem to have the situation in hand. Governor Terrell energetically and bravely did his duty in putting down the mob. The Afro-Americans have made desultory attempts at retaliation, but being unorganized and unarmed have succeeded in killing but two or three whites. The militia have invested the Afro-American suburbs of Atlanta and are disarming all Afro-Americans. The whites have exhausted all the ammunition stores in Atlanta, and little attempt has been made to disarm them. President J. W. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary and President Crogman of Clark University are reported under arrest. In the police court Judge Broyles is inflicting upon rioters the extreme sentence of thirty days in the stockade and $1,000 fine. Thirteen white rioters have been thus sentenced. Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued a statement to the press begging the Afro-Americans not to make the fatal mistake of attempting to retaliate. Hundreds of Afro-Americans are under arrest under suspicion of being concerned in the murder of a white policeman near Clark University. Delegates to the Business League at Atlanta on August 29-31 had the sensation of standing upon a smoking volcano. Dr. Washington's address may have merely postponed the eruption which all felt was coming. ATLANTA. September 26.—The storm which men have been feeling in the air for weeks has had last burst terribly. The Hoke Smith distranchion campaign, the abominable journalism of the Atlanta newspapers, the daily reports of crime committed by Afro-Americans, have at last borne their internal fruit. For weeks men have been feeling the tension of the situation straining at their hearts. Duri; the last two months the papers have reported with secondary headlines To Retaliate Fatal-Washington As a rule I never discuss the matter of mob violence except when I am in the South, but in this case I make an exception. In answer to your request, I will state that in my address in Atlanta to the National Negro Business League, a few days ago, I spoke plainly against the crime of assaulting women and of resorting to lynching and mob law as a remedy for any evil. I feel the present situation too deeply, to give any extended utterance at this time, except to say that I would strongly urge that the best white people and the best colored people come together in council and use their united efforts to stop the present disorder. I would especially urge the colored people in Atlanta and elsewhere to exercise self-control and not make the fatal mistake of attempting to retaliate, but to rely upon the efforts of the proper authorities to bring order and security out of confusion. If they do this they will have the sympathy of good people the world over. Let me repeat that wherever I have met them, without exception, I have found the leading colored people as much opposed to crime as the leading white people; but what is needed now is to get the best element of both races together and try to change the present deplorable condition of affairs. We of both races must learn that the inflexible enforcement of the laws against all criminals is indispensable, and in this I will do my utmost to have my race co-operate. The Atlanta outbreak should not discourage our people, but should teach a lesson from which all can profit. And we should bear in mind also that while there is disorder in one community there is peace and harmony in thousands of others. As a colored man I cannot refrain from expressing a feeling of very deep grief on account of the death of so many innocent men of both races because of the deeds of a few despicable criminals. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON: New York, September 25. and comment nine cases of assaults upon white women by Afro-Americans. The racial passions of the whites were mounting higher and higher until at last, when they stopped four assaults during that day, they outcured in a raging, uncontrollable torrent. "Kill the Negroes." As soon as the assaults were announced by the night extras the cry of "Kill the Negroes!" was heard in every section of the city and the deadly work began. There was not one great mob but scores of small mobs made up of young men and half grown boys operating against the Afro-Americans in various sections of the city. Wherever an Afro-American was seen he was made the target for bullets, knives, sticks, shovels and every other weapon that was obtainable. Several of the victims were literally beaten to death. Most of them met their doom in street cars. The mobs would watch for the cars and when an Afro-American was seen inside the car would be stopped and the Afro-American either killed or beaten. Two were killed on a Forryth street car in plain view of the editorial rooms of The Attonia Constitution. The mob saw two Afro-American men on the accompanied by two women. They were captured. The women were forced to get out and the men were shot to death. The police were powerless against the various mobs which were operating in widely scattered sections of the city. The street car people, however, caught on to the tactics of the mob in watching for cars going into the Afro-American quarters and in consequence every car was stopped. At the Piedmont Hotel in the heart of the city Police Commissioner English, who is president of the Fourth National Bank, made an impassioned plea for a big mob to disperse, but he might as well have talked to the wind. He was answered by cries of "Kill the Negroes! They won't leave white women alone until they are dead." Militia Called Out by Governor Terrell. It was 4 o'clock Sunday morning before asemblance of order was restored in the city. At 2 o'clock Gov. Terrell ordered out all the State troops in the city and placed them in charge of Col. Clifford Anderson. An soon as Col. Anderson could get into touch with his subordinates he distributed squads, over the city, placing them at strategic points, and in a short while the situation was greatly improved. A heavy rain, which began at 3 o'clock and continued for nearly two hours, was probably more effective in subduing the mob and sending its members to cover than even the presence of the State troops. The Southern mob, as a rule, when after Afro-Americans, care very little for local soldiers. The mob members believe that in their attacks they have the silent sympathy of the soldiers, and the view of the mob is not far wrong. The presence of a thousand soldiers scattered over Atlanta in squads ranging from twelve to fifty, according to the importance of the location, gave the city a military air that it has worn on no PRICE, 5 CENTS.

Sabbath since Sherman was thundering at its rates back in the '60s. A disturbance was caused about 8 o'clock Sunday morning when an Afro-American appeared in Marietta street near the United States Building with a repeating rifle. In five minutes he was surrounded by a crowd of white men, the messenger he and used it to club the messenger that he and used it to the hospital. Fifty yards away a hooded a patrol of twenty State guardians. A black face to-day has been a rarity in the streets. Ordinarily one sees about as many Afro-Americans as whites, but the stem experience of last night had its effect on the former and they remained at their homes. Practically every home in Atlanta lacked its servants this morning, the Afro-Americans being afraid to venture through the streets to reach the places where they were employed. In Penchtee street, the fashionable residence part of the city, who have not touched a culinary utensil, prepared meals for their families to-day. The hotels were practically without servants and not an Afro-American bootblack nor a newboy was to be seen in the streets. That the Afro-Americans are thoroughly scared is evidenced by the fact that they are smuggling their dead into the country and giving them private internment, being afraid to take the corps openly through the city lost some indigity be provoked. Many of the wounded had been secretly removed from the city. Innocent Man Lynched. Barring the lynching of an Afro-American in Marietta street about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, who was suspected of assaulting one of four white women on Saturday. Atlanta passed a fairly quiet Sabbath. The man lynched was in custody and on his way to jail when he was taken from the officers by a dozen men and shot to death in the street. After the mob had finished its work it was discovered that an innocent man had done to death. Two men had been arrested in possession of being concerned in the assault. Mrs. Moore the woman could not identify either of them but said she thought one who called himself Jack Murray was the man. She made no charge against Henry Moore, the other Afro-American. The officers started to jail with both men, but on the way Jack Murray, who was suspected by Mrs. Arnold, escaped. The officers continued with Jack Moore. On Marietta street some one raised the cry that the officers had Mrs. Arnold's assailant. Almost instantly a crowd surrounded the officers, took the prisoner and riddled him. The tragedy was witnessed by many people, among them children playing in the street. Gov. Terrell having placed the city practically under martial law there was no general resumption of hunting Afro-Americans by white mobs, which Saturday and Sunday the death of twelve Afro-Americans and twelve whites and the wounding of fully one hundred Afro-Americans and half as many whites. On Monday the manifestation of the mob spirit within the city of Atlanta was Baptised on the banks of the River Thames, Bill Long a gentleman, was taken from his home at 8 o'clock this morning and brought to a town. Long was arrested suddenly standing for necessity talk about the top white people were treating African Americans as slaves. He was arrested at a bar in London. Two times and plenty of questions. As B. owithed this morning fifty men broke into the jail and placing a rope around the black man's neck dragged him to a boat. Long begged plecquely for life, but B. was promptly bung up and was left to die. What this exception the day in Atlanta was very quiet, due to the State troop, who are still patrolling the town. The troylers cars are the posts of danger after nightfall, especially those cars which pass through the black quarters. Two guards armed with Winchester accompany these cars after nightfall. Afro-American Defend Themoven. It was on Monday that the Afro-Americans in the suburbs gathered courage to make some effort to self defense, with each of the outskirts of Atlanta at 8 o'clock at night and as a result four county policemen were shot down. One was killed and the others badly wounded. The city marshal of Edgewood was wounded by a mob of Afro-Americans and pitched battles occurred in Pittsburgh, in Brownsville and at Howells station. Pittsburgh is the name of a district in South Atlanta. Lieut. Poole of the county police was notified early last night that an incendian meeting of Afro-Americans was in progress, and accompanied by Officer Jordan and six other members of his force, he went to break it up. Postman Shot to Piece. The officers found about a hundred Afro-Americans in a lodge room denouncing the whites and calling on the blacks to rise and avenge those killed in the riot Saturday night. Lieut. Poole and his men arrested eight of the officers to fall with them. While waiting for a car near the lodge room the officers were fired upon by a mob of Afro-Americans who had followed. Officer Jim Heard was cut to pieces by bullets, Jordan was fatally wounded and Poole received a slight wound. The eight men who had been arrested attempt to flee and the six officers who had escaped the volley fired by the mob of blacks fired, shooting down six of the fleeing Afro-Americans. The officers then retreated, followed some distance by the Afro-Americans who had made the attack. The officers refused to refuge kept their assistance to bay, meanwhile telephoning to Col. Anderson, who is in command of the troops, for aid. Col. Anderson hurried three companies of State troops to Pittsburgh. When the Afro-Americans saw the troops they feed, pursued by the soldiers. The latter, according to latest telephone messages, have corralled the Afro-Americans, who are said to number all the way from 40 to 100, in a small swamp near Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, where the trouble was in progress, was the location of the officer which Jim Richardson, an Afro-American, barricaded himself in a house and defended the Atlanta police force for a day, killing five officers before he himself was killed. The military authorities began Tuesday to raid the black settlements and disarm the Afro-Americans. This policy was inaugurated Tuesday morning and will be continued until every Afro-American in Atlanta and suburbs is disarmed. In order to do this work, effectively Governor Terrell has called for six more companies of State troops, making about 3,000 infantrymen on duty here, besides two cavalry troops and two batteries of manpower. The first raid was made at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning by six companies of troops on Brownsville, where Monday night Afro-Americans shot down four county policemen and where fully a dozen Afro-Americans were killed in the battle which followed. After midnight the settlement was surrounded by troops, who began the raid at daylight. The Afro-Americans evidently expected the raid, for they were all up and dressed. Many attempted to flee, but were stopped by shots from the troopers, though it is said that only three Afro-Americans were struck by bullets. The houses were searched and all the firearms were thrown into a wagon which had been brought for that purpose. When the raid was completed the troops had three wagons loaded with rifles, revolvers and muskets. The men took their arrest stolidly and some of them even joked about the "scared white folks." The women, however, were not stolid and many of them screamed, beat their breasts and called on the Lord to "Save people" while the raid was in progress. Afro-American Postmaster Bought Amputation. The first man arrested was J. L. Price, the Afro-American postmaster of Brownsville sub-station. Price, it is said, has been very incendiary in his talk ever since the riots began and has bought arms and ammunition for the Afro-Americans. Price didn't relish his arrest and muttered something about being a Federal official. Price and about 300 others were brought to the city prison on suspicion of complicity in the attack on the county policemen. The prisoners were matched three miles through the streets of Atlanta to prison. Price headed the long line and he was the only one handcuffed. A squad of troops headed the procession and soldiers with rifles loaded were on either side. A machine gun ready for uttering the proclamation. The authorities will continue these raids until every Afro-American in the city has been disarmed. This resolution was taken because since the Saturday night riot the Afro-Americans have been the aggressors in all the trouble which has followed. The events from midnight to 6 o'clock Tuesday morning which led up to the raid on the Afro-American settlements form one of the bloodiest chapters of the riots. In that time two whites were killed by African Americans at least ten Afro-Americans were killed. An hour and a half later two Afro-Americans were shot on the front porch of Park Commissioner Robert H. Manley's home at 491 Crew street. The men had been taken from police officers on a Lakewood car, and, escaping momentarily from their captors, and taken back to their home, they were mortally wounded. One of them died this morning and the other is reported to be dying at Grady Hospital. Mm. Robert C. Thompson, who lived at 650 Crow street and was a witness of the tragedy, died of heart failure caused by the epilepsia. Two Afro-Americans were shot to death by three police officers in the vicinity of MacGruder and Randolph streets early this morning, after they had attempted to kill the officers and had incited a riot in that part of the city. The police account. Dr. W. J. Bowen, acting president of Gammon Theological Seminary, was practically under military arrest Tuesday morning. He was notified at an early hour by the neither he nor anyone in the building was to keep the grounds. Bowen is blamed by Chief Turber for the death of Officer Heard, who Turner said: "I was there that day and that he wanted protection. We did not look for such treatment as we met with." Bowen in a statement said: "I got communication with the Governor through Dr. John E. White. I asked that some soldiers be sent to the institution for our protection. We housed 200 women and children here Sunday and last night, and they were in terror. I understood that not only the millitad had forces near here, but the county police. We were there, and they were captured. We are opposed to the Negro rapist, and hope every one will be captured and summarily punished. I knew nothing of the meeting of Afro-Americans in the woods where the officer was killed." Many Afro-Americans who want to keep out of trouble are reported preparing to leave the city. It is expected that a general exodus of the best element will take place within the next few days if the mob violence is not ended in a short time. The trouble has brought many factories to a standstill where Afro-American help is employed. Clark University is in Brownsville, and was invested and the officers and students searched and placed under restraint. If a prisoner was unable to give a plausible account of himself, if he was armed with a firearm, if he was put under arrest and sent to the Fulton County jail. About one hundred were so locked up. WHITE WOMAN SAVED HIM FROM MOB OF LYNCHERS Opened Her Door to Fleeing Wretch and Fled for Him. ATLANTA, September 24—The bravery of Mrs. S. F. Cox of West End saved Walter Hicus, an Afro-American, from being lynched this morning. Hicus was being chased by a mob on suspicion of being implicated in the assault upon Mrs. Arnold, for which one innocent Afro-American has already been killed. There was a hundred whites in the party and Hicus had been taken on Mrs. Cox called to him to come into her home. The man rushed into the proffered refuge and Mrs. Cox shut the door on him and faced the mob. She told the man that they could not have Hicus without breaking into her house. "This Negro has worked for me a number of years," said Mrs. Cox. "He may be guilty but he ought to have a chance for his life and not be put to death on suspicion. You can't have him, but if you take him for officers they can take him to jail." The mob was struck by Mrs. Cox's courage and officers were summoned, who took the Afro-American to jail. NEWS OF RIOT INITIATES MUTINY IN KNOXVILLE JAIL Thirty-Dive Prisoners Rebel and Give Groves a Desperate Time KNONVILLE Town September 24— Thirty-five Afro-American prisoners, including eighteen murderers, two of whom were sentenced to die, rebelled against the jailer at the Knox County Jail tonight, and refused to go from the corridor into their cells. For two hours they kept the officers at bay, although behind barn. The jailers turned the base on the men, but this frenzied them. They finally captured the base and turned it on the officers and then attacked the latter with bottles, plates, cups and saucers, and with broomhandles on the ends of which knives were fastened. Three of the officers were hemmed in and had to draw their pistols and threaten to shoot in order to break the bottles. The Sheriff put down the mutiny only after the police had been called and all available deputies were on the acce. Four of the officers were cut by pieces of thrown bottles. The trouble was caused by an account of the Atlanta race riots, which was read by the prisoners. ROOTS NOT STARTED TO AVENGE WRONGED WOMAN Morneplay Fanned by Papers Into Riot, Says Judge Broyles. ATLANTA, September 28.—Judge Broyles, Recorder of the City Court, who had just sent sixteen rioters to the stockade to serve thirty days, and then to an- swer further to the State courts, said to- day: "I believe that the whole trouble Sat- dure night started in rough horseplay. It was the rough element, out to indulge themselves to the utmost, and I do not believe that the idea of avenging assaults was the real object of their attacks on defenseless Negroes. It could not be called a mob of deter- minant for the purpose of avenging an injustice to a woman of the South by hunting down an assault. "I believe that the sensational extras are largely responsible for the situation of affairs in Atlanta to-day. In many cases the attempts to assault were magnified into assaults and the minds of the people were inflamed." NEW YORK REPUBLICANS DENOUNCE ATLANTA ROTS Resolution of C. W. Anderson Unim- mensively Adopted. SARATOGA, September 25.—Something of a sationation was created just before the adjournment of the Republican State Convention to day when Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, an Afro-American delegate, arrose and offered a resolution in the mob vigorous upon Afro-Americans within the last few days at Atlanta. Mr. Anderson's resolution read: THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. "Beholding the national danger arising from the alarming growth of mob barbarians engendered by men hostile, up demand the prompt and adequate punishment of mob instigators and leaders, and we insist upon the just and open protection of the civil and political rights of all citizens without regard to race, creed or color, and we sympathize with all innocent victims of mob violence, whether that violence be perpetrated at home or abroad." The house applauded the sentiments contained in this resolution with spontaneous vigor. The temporary chairman of the committee, Mr. Anderson, issued an unanimous consent for its consideration. No police was heard objecting and the resolution was put and unanimously carried amid loud cheers. Hotel, Bremen, Germany.

Resolutions were passed asking the two great political parties to give expression in their platforms against Lynch law and pledging co-operation with the forces now at work to put down disorder and oppression in all sections of this country. On Monday, October 8, there will be an open meeting and discussion of the subject "Does Public Agitation Help or Hinder Race Development?"

SARATOGA, September 26.—The Hahn delegation to the Republican State Convention' has been unseated by a majority of only one vote. The fight was close and bitter. In this delegation were two Afro-Americans, Gilchrist Stewart and George M. Pryor. IT'S MAJOR LYNCH NOW INSTEAD OF CAPTAIN LYNCH Significant Promotion Mode, in the Regular Army. ATLANTA, September 22—The retirement of Brigadier-General Francis S. Dodge has led to the promotion of Major E. W. Halford to the rank of lieutenant-colonel; and this, in turn, to the promotion of Captain John R. Lynch to be a major. This is one of the highest grades held by any Afro-American. Major Lynch was born a slave, and was among the hungry, scared people of Vicksburg when Gen. Grant's army entered that city on July 4, 1863. After that he learned to read, and through his own efforts acquired a good education. Soon after he became of age he was elected to the Mississippi Assembly and several times re-elected, serving one term as Speaker. He was several times elected to Congress, where he acquitted himself capitolially. Under President Harrison he received an auditor in one of the departments. At the beginning of the Spanish-American war he was made a volunteer paymaster, and in 1901 entered the regular army as a captain. Major Lynch ranks high in efficiency and as a gentleman. While Major Lynch is the first Afro-American to reach that rank in the staff or line of the army, Chaplain Allensworth of the Twenty-fourth Infantry was commissioned major two years ago and retired as a lieutenant-colonel last April by virtue of having served as a soldier in the Civil War. As chaplain Allensworth of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. As a paymaster Major Lynch has come in contact with vastly more white officers and soldiers than Afro-American officers and soldiers. OUTRAGEOUS PUNISHMENT . FOR CHILDREN'S QUARREL Little Girls Expelled From Public Schools Forever. ATHENS, Ga., September 20.—Mayer Dorsey last week fined five little Afro-American girls $10 each for their conduct toward five little girls Friday afternoon as they were coming from school. They stopped the white girls on the street, and said a number of things to them, among others that the white women had been brought to the kitchen, and would sooner or later be brought to the washub, where they belonged. Mayer Dorsey told them after he had fined them that he was satisfied that what they had said was but the reflection of what they had heard their parents say, and he wished to notify the parents that they had been well off with better things, that this was the black man's country, and that the Afro-American was an inferior race, and might as well know his position, and keep it. He then asked Superintendent Bond to see that the four girls were promptly expelled from the city schools, and never allowed to enter there again. RICHMOND PREPARES SOUTHERN WELCOME FOR OD FELLOWS Will Put Up J. L. B. Forrester for Grand Secretary. RICHMOND, September 23.—Richmond is preparing to throw wide open her doors to the 13th Bicennial Movable Convention of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows, which convenes here Tuesday next. The delegates will have "homes" among the very, hot Afro-American citizens of Richmond, and everything will be done to make the stay of the visitors pleasurable as well as profitable. The name Richmond is synonymous with that hospitality for which Virginia is provisional, and those who have heard of that hospitality and come will know what it means before they leave. That these predictions will be carried out one has but to know that that courtly old Virginia gentleman; Former Grand Master W. M. T. Forrester, is at the head of the committee of arrangements. Joseph D. Forrester will in all probability be put forward by Virginia for the position of grand secretary. Mr. Forrester is a young man of most excellent executive ability and would fill the position with credit to himself and the organization. --- The Hotel Alpen, 687 Seventh Ave, NEW YORK CITY.

WASHINGTON, September 20.—Pursuant to invitations issued by the Ithianian Canal Commission, proposals were opened at its office in Washington this morning for furnishing a minimum of 2,500 Chinese laborers for service on the Ithianus of Panama, with the right to increase the number at the rate of not to exceed 2,000 per month up to a total of 15,000. Under the terms of the invitation the successful proposer is to defray all expenses and to submit his proposition on the basis of hourly wage which the commission is to pay for the services rendered. There were four proposals received: The American-Chinese Contracting Company of Englewood, N. J., the International Contracting Company of Washington, I. W. Mee, L. O. Hing Company of Baltimore and Joel Julian Ruben of Washington. Proposals were received at varying rates, with varying conditions, so that the commission is not at this time in a position to determine which is most advantageous. One bidder submitted a straight proposition of ten cents an hour for any number of laborers. Others bid on a fixed price for each laborer, others bid on a sliding scale, that is, a decreasing price as the number of laborers increased. Lead Leg in Trucker Accident PHILADELPHIA, September 24.--William Curters, an Afro-American, twenty-four years old of Butler's avenue, fell from a trolley car last night at 13th and Spruce street, and his leg was so mangled that it had to be amputated at the Pennsylvania hospital.

Case Recalled Where Disguised White Man Was the Criminal. To the Editor of The New York Age: Is it not possible that the reign of terror in Atlanta is of deeper significance than at first appears? Who believes that colored men have suddenly gone mad and assaulted five or more women in one day? That thing is pure belief. A few months ago Washington was alarmed by reports of assaults on white women by black men, occurring in rapid succession in various sections of the District. A white man was finally arrested for engaging in an affray and upon being searched women's pursues were found in his possession, and it was seen that his skin had been stained to imitate a colored man. With his arrest the daring assaults ceased. It was noticeable that this arrest caused little or no comment from the white newspapers. The great woman is that the nature of his attack was that of a man. It is entirely credible that, in order to inflame the always smouldering hatred of the low class of whites and bring about the present state of affairs in Atlanta, some have disguised themselves as Negroes. What could be easier? Let the human bloodbounds of Atlanta search for white men whose skin, nails, etc., show traces of walnut stain, and the world will no longer be horrified by the story of inoffensive men left lying on street cars in pools of blood or dragged from them and beaten to death.

Our wise little friend, The Philkine, carries the following motto: "If people have wronged you, it will do no harm to give them a chance to forget it." There is much meat in this, and if it could always be practiced the big world might be a better place in which to live. But when people wrong you, and keep it up, giving you no chance to allow them to forget that they have done so, what is to be done? All during the long, dark days of slavery, all through the experimental years of the Reconstruction period, and continuing hence from the overthrow of Reconstruction governments in 1876-7, to the present time, the Southern white men have persistently wronged and persecuted the Afro-American people. They have gone from one degree of infamy in wrong-doing and persecution to another, until to-day there is no protection of the law in the Southern States for the Afro-American people and no restraint of the law upon white men who have a disposition to insult and injure and murder at their will. White men are allowed to do as they please. They are not restrained in their conduct toward Afro-Americans by law or the opinion of Christian mankind. What is the remedy for this condition of affairs, of this infamous perversion of justice and equity? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? It may come to that. Last Saturday the mob spirit broke out in Atlanta. Wherever an Afro-American face was seen the mob went after it and either murdered or basely outraged its owner. Hundreds of them were treated in this way and more than fifteen were murdered. Innocent people, unsuspecting and unarmed, were assaulted on the public streets and dragged from the street cars, so that it was found necessary to stop the running of the cars. One report says the mob was made up of young white boys, and men, but that could not well be; it was said, also, that the police were powerless to control the mob spirit. It is usually that way. It is to be borne in mind, however, that the police are always able, with the help of the militia, to control a mob situation when black people are making it hot for white people. Three weeks ago we directed attention to the intense race feeling existing in Atlanta, as we had observed it while there the last of August attending the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League. There was not a thoughtful Afro-American we heard refer to the situation who did not believe that the mob element among the whites was ready to slaughter black people at any moment. The criminal element among blacks and whites in Atlanta is unusually large. The conduct of the whites on the street cars, where separation of the races is maintained by law and every motorman and conductor is made a legal bundle of insolence, and the attitude of the police authorities, who appear to look upon all Afro-Americans as criminals, create a spirit of restlessness among the blacks so that acts of the lawless elements are more frequent than otherwise. The common whites, the police and the operators of the street cars devote a large part of their time and energy to the vile work of hectoring Afro-Americans, making them irritable, restless and revengeful. But the crimes of half a dozen people, however vile those crimes, is no sufficient excuse for mobbing a whole race, making victims of innocent people, when the police should hunt down only the guilty. For months and months the Atlanta newspapers controlled by white men have been lashing the population into a state of lawlessness. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Evening Journal are more responsible for the situation in Atlanta than any other agencies. In his campaign for the governorship of Georgia Hoke Smith raised the race issue, and all of the small fry too it up and stirred up hatred between the races such as never before existed in Georgia. And this base demagogue has been mentioned by a Southern alleged statesman as a good man for the Democrats to nominate for President! Let the Democrata nominate him if they dare! There are plenty of criminals of both races in Atlanta, as in every other large place in the country, but the police can control them without the assistance of the mob, and the police bid better begin to do it. The honest opinion of the Republic should be brought to bear upon the white people of the South before it becomes too late. It is not within reason that the conditions which have been brought about since 1877, in which it has become a fact that black men have no rights whatever that white men do contract, can be continued without such clashes between the two races in the South as will permanently disgrace the Republic and appall mankind everywhere. There must be some same white people in the South. There must be some same white people in Atlanta. But they give no sign. They permit the vile politicians and the desperate newspapers and the headlines of both men must create a condition of affliction in which business activity is paralyzed for the moment and deals are done that disregue not only their immobile communities but disregue our common humanity and bring lasting reproach upon the good name and reputation of the Republic in the estimation of mankind everywhere. A community which cannot control its dangerous elements, but must rely upon the mob spirit to do it, is unworthy of self-government; and when the police fail in their duty, and allow the vicious elements to get the better of the situation, and then turn the correction of the conditions over to the mob spirit, which makes matters worse, abusing the innocent and the guilty in the same sweep of madness, then the condition of such a community is reduced to one of anarchy, in which every man should think first of protecting himself and his It is high time, that the same people of Atlanta, the business men and ministers, and the like, take the management of their affairs out of the hands of small politicians, crazy editors and the lawy elements and see to it that the laws are impartially enforced, and that the guilty are punished and the innocent protected. The country at large expects that much of the same people of Atlanta. They cannot allow the mob to kill people discriminately because they are black or yellow without creating a condition abhorrent to the Spirit of our democracy and the teachings of Jesus Christ, by which we profess to govern our national life. --- Dr. Washington on Our News- paper Tendencies In an address delivered in New York City last week Dr. Booker T. Washington swiped the Afro-American newspapers in a way to enhance the gaiety of the situation a heap. Dr. Washington thinks that the Afro-American newspapers place too much stress upon the wrongs heaped upon the race and too little on the progress that the race makes; that more fuss is made over the refusal of a sandwich at a railroad restaurant than over the establishment of a bank. The New York- Sun humorously remarks that the Afro-American is fortunate in not being able always to secure a railroad sandwich and that he does not always need a bank. From the humorist's viewpoint that is a cute way to look at it; but, as a matter of fact, the Afro-American needs the sandwich when he needs it and should be able to get it when he wants it, just as other people, anywhere in the Republic, including Hamlet, N. C.; and he needs the banks and plenty of them, and should be encouraged to get the sandwich and the bank whenever and wherever they are needed. It is highly probable that the Afro-American newspapers give more attention to the denial of rights and outrages on the race than to evidences of progress of the race. We do it in THE AGE most of the time, because a newspaper is supposed to be a chronicle of the "manners living as they rise." It cannot suppress the news and be a newspaper. The news may be bad and discouraging, but the newspaper cannot help that; it does not make the news, it simply chronicles it as made by others. But it would be a good and helpful policy if Afro-American newspapers should give more space to the actual work that the race is doing and less to simple complaints and protests, but without suppressing the news. The Afro-American people need the encouragement of information that there is a bright as well as a dark side to the shield of the race situation, and our newspaper should endeavor to give it to them. THE AGE has striven to do so in the past and will strive harder to do so in the future. --- Senator John E. Dryden. Senator John J. Bryden Across the line, in New Jersey, politics have been as warm as in New York for some time past. The Reformers are at work over them as they are in New York, and in most of the States of the country, for the matter of that, except the debauched Rotten Boroughs of the Southern States, where the white folks vote as they are told to by the Hoke Smiths, the Ben Tillmans, and the vile likes of them, who would raise a ruction in heaven if they could break into it. The New Jersey Reformers are after everything in sight, as are the Reformers all over, as it is mostly a light of the outs against the ins. There are plenty of abuses in the politics of the whole country, and they should be reformed. We grant that, and wish to assist all that we can in the reformation, but in the doing of it we do not think it necessary to tear away all of the old landmarks and to destroy the character and usefulness of all of the men who have wrought mightily for the honor and prosperity of the Nation. The New Jersey Reformers are after the scalp of Senator John F. Dryden, among other choice political tid-bits, but we do not think that they will be able to get it, as the people of New Jersey appreciate the character and ability which Senator Dryden has brought to his work in the Federal Senate. Senator Dryden is not an orator. He was educated in the school of business, and in the Senate stands with the working rather than the talking group of Senators. Among them he has made a reputation which is a credit to him and of vast benefit to his State. He has made his place in the Senate by good business abilities, by standing up for the best interests of the Republican party and the country, find by hard and intelligent work. The people of New Jersey recognize and appreciate this fact. They know that it would take a new man a great many years to secure the position and prestige that Senator Dryden enjoys, and we do not think that they will displace him because there are some people who want his job. We think the people of New Jersey will and should keep John F. Dryden in the Federal Senate. They indicated in the primary elections last Tuesday that they would do so. Cuban Intervention. The intervention of the United States in the concern of Cuba will be fortunate if the negotiations between Secretary Taft and the leaders of the Cuban factions shall bring, about peace for Cuba; but if annexation of the Island, or an American Protectorate, should be the outcome it would be infinitely, bad. It has been shown that a majority of the Cuban people are opposed to the administration of President Tomas Estrada Palma, because his election and that of his associates was the result of tyrannical methods and systematic frauds, in which the popular will was paralyzed. To force a continuance of his administration upon the Cuban people, in view of the facts, would be grave injustice and in no wise allay the distrust and unrest which have found effective expression in armed revolution. The people of Cuba know what they want, and any action of the United States which prevents them from getting it will be a crime against the spirit of liberty and fair play, of which we claim to be the chief defenders for others but practice very little at home. The Cubans deserve fair play from the American people, and we hope that they will get it in the present crisis. The Palma government has resigned. What next? Getting the Assembly Habit. The success of the Afro-American of Cook County, Illinois, in breaking into the State Legislature, has proved contagious. Chicago has now an Afro-American candidate for the Legislature in the person of Dr. Alexander Lane, to succeed Hon. Edward Green, also an Afro-American. In East St. Louis, Ill., Mr. John Evans, an Afro-American, has announced his candidacy for the Legislature, and having been turned down with a thud by the bosses, has determined to run as an independent candidate. The Afro-Americans of Marion County, Indiana, in which the city of Indianapolis is situated, are now talking of an Afro-American for the State Legislature. There are multitudes of Afro-Americans in Indianapolis. In Omaha, Nebraska, Messrs. Fred L. Smith and John W. Long, two hustling Afro-Americans, were candidates for the State Legislature and were badly defeated at the primaries last week. But they have broken the ice in Nebraska. In New York State Mr. Glychrist Stewart is assured of the Assembly nomination from the 13th Assembly district if the Hahn faction is recognized as victorious. It is safe to prophey that the next two years will also witness an Afro-American candidate for the Assembly from the 9th Assembly district, New York city. These widely spread and identical phenomena are highly significant and important. They mean that the sleeping Afro-American political giant is beginning to stretch his arms, preparatory to waking. Vile Phase of Atlanta Massacre. VIIe Phase of Atlanta The white mob maving without any parent cause, as Judge Royleys declared, taken unprovoked revenge upon Americans in Atlanta, Governor Bell promptly called out the State militia, which promptly took the state of the mob and began to do its unlawful work of murdering and chasing innocent black people. While the thousands of white men were given permission to carry arms a military opener was ordered that every black house in Atlanta should be searched and the arms were taken from all black people. Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary were raided by the militia and some 200 students were hustled off to the jail without due process of law. The whole situation has been identical with such conditions as prevail in darker, Russia. We state facts now; it will be well in calmer moments to discuss conclusions based upon them; but it must be obvious to him who runs and reads that things cannot continue as they are if the white public opinion of the South is to be arraigned against the Afro-American. The future holds much of hell. That can easily be read by him who will take the road to read. We have reached a stage where argument of any sort takes on the aspect of the ridiculous. If the law and public opinion of the South are hopelessly armed against the Afro-American people, if the hypothetical appeal of the white people, taken in 1865, to leave the race problem to them to solve has proved an outrageous failure, if the great North and West are to stand silent by and see the utter failure of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, because of the unreasonable antagonism of those who originally opposed them, what course are the Afro-American people to pursue? A great many say he should fold his hands and accept what he finds and which has been imposed upon him by others. We say that he should hold wide his hands like a man and fight for situation shows that he must be a man. Will he be? The world expects it of him. --- The Jews of Russia are wronged and oppressed in almost the same way that the Afro-Americans of our Southern States are; the mob and the lawful authorities in Russia are, in league to do the Jew by murder and spionage of his substance, so that he lives in terror of his life. The American people and newspaper stant in denouncing the hard lot of the Jews in Russia, and in light. But they do not equally seal in seals in denunciation of the wrongs inflicted upon the Afro-American people of the Southern States? Affairs are reaching such a stage that they will be compelled to take sides for or against the Afro-Americans in their efforts to live down the wrongs against GE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. file and property and manhunt been higged upon them by their white neighbors in the South, by law and above law. THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN Dr. Bobby Vulcan Iman W. Grant School --- Mr. Bandael Compers and Labor have gone into politics. They are after Congressmen, who did not do what Labor wanted done in the last Congress. So far they have not had great success. Mr. Compers and Labor have a right to go into politics if they have a grievance. That in the proper court to appeal to. --- An influential section of the Texas Democracy have gone after the scalp of Senator Joseph W. Bailley. They say he does not represent them; that he is badly mixed up with the money-bags, including the Standard Oil Company, the bank of the state, and the should be made out of the Federal Senate. We have no love for Senator Bailley. We should shed not a tear if he were forced to earn his bread out of the sweat of his mouth as a private citizen, but we shall be greatly surprised if he does not die a member of the Federal Senate. We should not renounce the law, die, never resign office, and are beloved of their constituents for crimes they have committed. --- The Afro-American vote of New York county has become a divided force. The writer butted into a company of six ordinary Afro-American; in the Harlem section, just before the primaries last week, and on polling, the lot was Tammany men; the lot was Harlem Independence men; and one lone Republican. Now, it is a matter of record all over New York county that the Afro-American vote no longer if a Republican unit. Why? --- Rev. Dr. William J. White, The Georgia Baptist Man, has been compelled to leave his Augusta home because of his condemnation of mob law. He is a grand old man. He is a worthy citizen of Georgia, where he has spent a long life of usefulness. He is compelled to sacrifice all of his material interests and lifelong associations and memories because the mob demands it. The Federal Constitution and the Federal government have no authority in Georgia when it comes to the rights and life of Afro-American. And the Republican party, what good is it to the Afro-American people? Let Dr. White come to New York. We will see that he has all that he wants of honor and comfort. --- The Atlanta Constitution is doing youman service in trying to fetch order out of the confusion in Atlanta. The high tank falls to the lot of The Constitution to teach a higher, fairer and more honorable treatment of the Afro-American citizens of Georgia.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I expect a little criticism from some pen which is inflamed by the hellish tittings from Atlanta and Memphis, Tenn., yet I am bold enough to express my opinion. I will admit that there are a few victories, if any at all, achieved except by agitation; but we must have common sense to know when to agitate, how and where. The Baptist Pastors' Conference on Monday last voted to unite with an element which is at fever heat on account of Atlanta's brutal outrages upon the blacks, in holding an indignation meeting at Cooper Union on Monday, amending in favor of the move made by the conference. I fare well in effort to be made by our conference to have the cooperation of the white conference in this matter. Remember that at every crisis in the history of our race there have been found some Gosdent white men to champion our cause. Our indignation meetings only tend to enbiter the feelings of the Southern and Northern whites who are inoculated with colorphobia; and for every indignation meeting held in the North the innocent Negro of the South pays for it by death. The North and South are uniting against the Negro, not because he is guilty of all the charges published against him, not because he is blacked against him, not because he is blacked against him, and financial advancement. If the Negroes of this country is a whole were as dependent upon the whites to day as they were forty-two years ago you would hear of few such circumstances as close of today. When the mail master of the South lost his fortune by virtue of the Negroes' liberty, looks upon the advancement of the Negro, and on his poverty-strike; condition, he is excited either to die himself or kill the Negro; and this is characteristic of the majority of Southern whites. He is not favor Bishop Turner's scheme to take the Negro to Africa. There is a plenty of territory in America for every American-born citizen. Instead of holding indignation meetings, let the clergy and editors and men of influence and wealth of our race gather the masses together, unite our financial interests and buy land, hundreds of acres at a time, build houses, and provide for our people of the South as the Jews for the Middle East. We are in New York alone eleven thousand Protestants. Each church has its leader. Let us come together with one dollar for each member and the amount would buy land enough to house four thousand people. If this interest continued for eleven years, bringing our people from the South, it would be eleven years before you would rage upon a Negro. The Southern white much so to work for himself, and when he finds the Negro laborer and the Negro capitalist fleeing from him, he will cease his strokes of inhumanity and bow at their mercy. E. E. JACKSON. Pastor Zion Baptist church New York, September 25, 1998 Fortgraf Railroad Out $4,000. ROME, Ga., September 22. The Southern railroad is out $4,000 because it forto send a train after a party of 700 Afro-Americana who were holding a camp-meeting at Typern, Ga., and who were delayed a day overtime. The railroad quieted their complaints at $8 a head. The Editor of Two New York Asc: Dr. Robert Bentham Bean, Boston Southern physician for September, 1908, an article on "The Negro Brain" which is fall of misimitations and inaccuracy. While Dr. Bean may be as sincere in his belief about the Negro brain as the heathen Chinese are their children, their job is to unaccentilate an unaccentful from the beginning to the end. "He emphasizes the point that the black man's brains are smaller than the white man's brains, and that therefore the mental ability of the white man exceeds that of the black man. The black man says he has continually been in contact with the highest civilization of antiquity, but has never risen to the eminence of other nations. Bean's inference is that the Negro in this country never will get beyond the flow-water mark of the heights attained by the white man. Dr. Bean, being from the Blue Grass State, is influenced in his village by spirit, which he has baked, because the scribes, pharisees and hypocrites by their traditions, made void and cannot affect the laws of God. Now, Dr. Bean being a Southern white physician, is influenced by those traditions which bias his mind and therefore renders him incapable of, writing truthfully and non-early about "The Negro Brain." Dr. Bean's hypothesis is: Given, the brain weight of two races, or nations, the heavier brain weight represents the greater degree of intelligence and mental ability. So, the brain weight of the Caucasian, which is 1,341 grains; and the average brain weight of the black man, is 1,292 grains. The greater the brain weight the greater is the degree of intelligence. The white man's brain weighs more than that of the black man; therefore, according to Dr. Bean, Caucasian is more intelligent on the black man. But is that correct? The brain weight of the white man in the United States and Canada is 1,518 grains. The brain of the German, weighs 1,413 grains. If the greater the brain weight the greater is the intelligence, then the intelligence of the white man in America exceeds the intelligence of the people in Germany. But in theology, medicine, the technical sciences and in philosophy the Germans lead the world. The leading scholarship of the United States is German brain weight, has not therefore the important significance that we heretofore have given it. To maintain the weight of the brain determines the intelligence is erroneous because the durm matter, the amchanoid matter, together with the blood and other body fluids in the meningue, verticals and compusted blood vessels of the brain, add to the weight of the brain substance. Besides sinite changes occur in all brains, which undergo atrophic changes as one grows older. Against Dr. Bean may be quoted the highest authority that the Nation and this century has produced on this subject of brain anatomy, a gentleman who is a member of the American Anthropological and other learned and scientific societies. This fearless and painstaking scientist W. B. Pearson Antony Spitka says: "It must be emphasized that the weight of the brain is not the all important factor in psychic abilities." As a rule heavy brains are found among idiots, imbeciles, criminals, the insane and other defectives. (See "A Study of the Brains of the Late Major J. W. Powell," by E. A. Spitka; "American Anthropological Vol. II," by E. A. Spitka, 1908; also "A Study of the Brain Weights of Men Notable in the Professions, Arts and Sciences," by Dr. E. A. Spitka, page 11.) Connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is a bundle of transverse nerve fibres, called the "corpus callosum". Every cortical center of the cerebral cortex is connected by the fibers which pass through the corpus callosum. The fibers of the callosum connect like regions in the two hemispheres. Spitkaz and his school of brain anatomists affirm that the degree of intelligence of race or individual is in proportion to the development or callosum of the great cortex callosum, which are only of the nerve cells in the cortex cerebri. (See "The Development of Man's Great Brain," by Dr. E. Anthony Spitkaz, page 326.) Under the present American environment, by his education, occupation and recreation, his combat with difficulties, and enduring to overcome the obstacles that lie before him, the American black man's brain will continue to grow and develop the same as the brains of anyone else; and the corps callosum of the Negra's brain will continue to enlarge, as the black man uses his head, hand, and heart in fighting the battles of life. Dr. Bean, in *The Century*, makes an erroneous statement when he says that the Negroes were in contact with the highest civilization of antiquity but have never risen to the eminence of other Nations. The earliest known civilization of antiquity thrived among the Sons of Ham, on the banks of the Euphrates and the Nile, the Nile River. Black man could build Jerusalem, Tyro and Sidon. Moltzickel the priest of the most high God, who was a friend to Abraham, was a Negro. The ancient Phoenicians were Negroes. How about their eminence as marines and merchantmen? Petro Alonzo, a Negro, piloted the Ninn, one of the three vessels which sailed with Columbus, when in 1492 he discovered America. Ever since the year 1501, when Father Louses, a Roman Catholic priest, introduced African slavery into the Western Hemisphere, the Negro race has contributed both to the building of our American industries. Even now the Southern black man's labor contributes to the prosperity of the varied American industries. For example, the Southern black man's brain and brawn raise the cotton. It is there sent to Fall River, Mass, where it is woven into fine linen. The cotton, muslin and other cotton goods are sent from Fall River to Troy, N. Y., where they are manufactured into shirts, collars and cuffs, affording a means of livelihood for no less than 20,000 people. If, therefore, it were not the black man on the Southern coast, a woman would be sent to Troy, N. Y. and penny soup houses would have to be established in every ward of Fall River. If it were not for the Southern black man the New York Cotton Exchange would have to go out of business. Now, who gets the praise for flooding the market with collars and cuffs, "made in Germany". The white man. Yet, if it were not for the Southern black man the white man would not attain the "vulnerability" in shirt and cotton industries that he has. No, the American colored people are not a mation, but they are a race, an integral part of American life. The national civilization who have attained eminence, e. g., Benjamin Bannaker, the first man in America to give us an almanac and who was associated with George Washington and Major L. Eufant, in surveying the original plans of the Federal city—Washington, D. C. Tanner, the Negro artist, is the only American painter whose painting was purchased by the French Government of France. The military of France, saying nothing about the late Peter Jackson, Major Taylor, George Dixon and "Joe" Gang. The Spanish soldiers who entrapped the Rough Riders down on San Juan Hill, Cuba, would have made micues meat out of Col. Theodore Roosevelt had not black soldiers come to his rescue and saved his life. Yet, according to Dr. Bean and Watson, the Negro never did anything worth recording in history. The diagrams of the venerable sections of the venerable brain which accompanies Dr. Romi's article in The College is erroneous and an imposition upon the science of anatomy. The black man's brain is the same as any other man's brain, as the black graduates of Harvard, Yale, Oberlin, Lincoln University, Columbia and other colleges show. There is nothing the matter with the black man's brains; he is meeting competition and overcoming the various disadvantages of under like, equal and similar conditions. The Negro can accomplish what an ordinary man's brain can do. As John Milton says, "Shall I go on or have I said cough?" J. M. BODY, A. M., M. D. Albany Medical College, Albany, N. X.

Every nation or race which has ever won respect or achieved distinction has done it by demonstrating the possession of character and capacity. Self-government has solden been achieved anywhere until the capacity for it has been proved, and the experiments of that sort have come to quick and unhappy endings. It seems strange that the plain lessons of history should have been totally disregarded in planning to make a place for the Negroes as freemen in this country. But the fact is that engancipation was born of a burning conviction of the sin of slavery. It was less a problem of economics or of statesmanship than an atonement for the past transgression of the whites. The abolition of engancipation was insisted that the only adequate separation was to establish the blacks, out of hand, in the possession of all those rights and privileges which the whites had won through centuries of struggle and self-development. The blacks were to be maintained in those rights by Federal benayonets, if need be, and that policy had a brief and unfortunate trivial. Slowly the fact that you can lead a race to the water, but you cannot make it drink began to sink into the consciousness of the Northern whites. Slowly the genes were left with the Southern neighbors, enthorted by what they conceived to be a malicious purpose on the part of the North to force social equality upon Southern whites. At the lowest point of the fortunes of the emancipated there arose one leader from their own ranks, with the genius or the common sense to see that the blacks must raise themselves precisely as the whites had done—by hard work, hard learning, and by living his former Negroes to work and by preaching the gospel of hard work and of financial responsibility, has made himself the Moses of his race. More and more his policy is being accepted by the blacks, and more and more he and his work are coming to be trusted, even by those who judge the Negroes by the most worthless and criminal part, and by using the blacks to the position of responsibility where they are trusted as individuals, the foundation of all race prosperity. But the poison of the old notion of a transformation over night by the application of the full powers of the Nation is still working. It is working to most harm among Negress of education, of imagination enough to feel the need to protect them in the rights of citizenship for which they were not fitted, but which were conferred by emancipation and by Congress. They still believe that the problem can be worked out as one of abstract rights on paper, rather than one of the acceptability of individuals, the advocacy of that which is the race of good. Every meeting for the Niagara movement tends to revive slumbering race prejudices. Every address of Booker Washington in which he argues his people to make themselves fit to be trusted as individuals tends to hull that prejudice to deeper slumber. Mr. Washington made such an address in Manhattan this week. It did or contain anything especially new. It repeated his old points that the race needs better clothing and better houses, that its young people must be taught to save their money, and that Negroes must cease to have the reputation of a spending, thriftless, poverty-streken race. That has been the road of progress, not merely for the blacks, (for other races) but for whites. Washington gave ought to be repeated every week wherever there is a congregation of Negroes to listen. The disabilities which they suffer are not special to them. They are the disabilities which have resulted from lawlessness and incompetence under skins of any color the world over. The escape from them is not by law, but by individual effort. Washington to Speak at Georgia State Fair. MACOS, Ga., September 22.

It appears to be a blank or poorly parsed image. Therefore, no text can be extracted or analyzed from it. ROSEATE VIEW OF LIBERIAN REPUBLIC Progress Astonishing, All Things Considered—Bernard Shaw in Vogue There Dr. Booker T. Washington in The Independent. If I were asked to mime what, in my opinion, was the most interesting and encouraging body of Negroes that I have seen assembled, in the last twenty years. I think I should be tempted strongly to name the National Negro Banker" Association, which held its first meeting in Atlanta a few days ago, in connection with the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League. I confess that I had never expected to live to see the day when such a strong, stable, intelligent body of men representing what these men do, should assemble in our Southern States. At the meeting referred to there were present fourteen bank officials, most of them being either the cashiers or the presidents of Negro banks. The growth of the Negro in commercial and business directions is indicated by the growth of banks under the control of Negroes. It will surprise. I think, the most of your readers to note the rapidity with which these banks have increased. So far as I can get the facts, fifteen years ago there were only two banks in America under the control of Negroes—one in Richmond, Va., and one in Birmingham, Ala. At the present time there are thirty-one banks operated and controlled by Negroes, and others are being organized each year. There have been very few failures of Negro banks; in fact, I only know of the failure of one. Up until our last meeting, the bankers had been meeting in connection with the regular session of the National Negro Business League. This year it was thought advisable that, while retaining their membership in the National Negro Business League, they should have a separate organization within the League, which was readily consented to. An entire session of the League meeting was devoted to hearing reports from these bank officials, and I wish that every white man in America, especially those doubt the capacity and honesty of bank officials, to hear these simple, strong statements, describing the struggles and success of these men, who, in many cases, [The following article is appropriately introduced by this letter from Mr. W. Lloyd Garrison: To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: "Not long ago you reproduced in your paper a magazine article reflecting severely upon the colored people of Liberia, if I remember rightly. I therefore enclose an article clipped from The Muhammadan, of Madras, India, which copies the account of Mrs. French Sheldon. I thought perhaps you might like to use it in rebuttal. Correctly yours, "WM. LLOYD GARRISON. Boston, September 18, 1906." 12.

She has come home delighted with the country and the people, and in an interview with a representative of The Tribune effectually disposed of many popular conceptions of Liberia and the Liberians which have been current in Europe for the last twenty years. There is a flavor of romance, not unmixed with pathos, in the story of this republic of Negroes, self-governed and educated, which has met and is meet; many trials and vicissitudes, but strives in spite of all to keep its independence, and in many ways to make its civilization worthy of the Japan.

Of the thirty-one banks, fourteen were represented at the Atlanta meeting. It com- plys to sound strange, but nevertheless it is true that eleven of these banks are in the State of Mississippi, and practically all of them have been organized since bank ional Governor Vardman became Governor.

So much disturbance was created that the President finally closed the post office and Mrs. Cox withdrew, from the office. In the meantime, her husband, Mr. W. W. Cox, was a railway post clerk. Because of the disturbance Mr. Cox later gave up his position on the railroad, and for a while both of them lived out of the same months ago however Mr. Cox determined to open a Negro bank in Indianola, and I can indicate the progress and success of this bank in no better manner than to quote the following sentences which have just come to me from a reliable business man in Mississippi: "Now with reference to Mr. W. W. Cox of Indianola, Miss., I beg to advise that no man of color is as highly regarded and respected by the white people of his town and county as he. It is true that he organized and is cashier of the Delta Penny Savings Bank, domiciled there. I visited Indianola during the spring of 1903 and was a very much surprised to note the esteem in which he was held by the bankers and business men (white) of that place. He is a good, clean man and above the average in intelligence, and knows how to handle the typical Southern white man. In the last statement furnished by his bank to the State Auditor, his bank showed total resources of $4,000. He owns and lives in one of the best resident houses in Indianola, regardless of race, and located in a part of the town where other colored men seem to be not desired." from the size of the country. It has a coast line of about 300 miles, controls a territory of 40,000 square miles, and has a population of civilized Negroes of from 40,000 to 60,000, and a native and warlike population which is estimated at 2,000,000. Little has been heard since the early days of the scheme about the band of emancipated slaves, who went forth to cut a country out of the virgin forests of West Africa. Occasionally the main in the street is reminded by a brief newspaper paragraph that there is such a place as Liberia, but he knows little enough of its inner life. Those who have met the people when trading for coffee, rubber, piassoua (a fibre used for broom-making), palm oil, and kernels, have been wont to speak of their progress as immeasurably slow, and their trade as tending toward stagnation. Exceptional opportunities of knowing the people as they actually are have been enjoyed by Mrs. French Sheldon, and she does not agree with this. "As a republic" she said, "they are a more fifty-eight years old, and in that short existence they have done wonders, which none would credit without seeing. You must remember that these people, who are all Negroes, are not like the Japanese who have grown from one thing to another; they started high up the social and economic scale all of a sudden. They speak in English (or American), keep their accounts in dollars and cents, and have to keep up all the complicated government machinery, which has been the result of centuries of civilization and progress. "They have a President and Vice President, who are elected every two years by the most modern system of universal suffrage, secret ballot, and all. They have a Cabinet, a Senate, and a House of Representatives; chief justice and local magistrates; supreme courts, courts of common pleas, and quarterly courts. Every town and village has its school, and in Monrovia, the capital, there is the West African College, in praise of which I could not say enough. The President, Mr. Arthur Barclay, with whom I stayed, is a brilliant example of what the Liberians can do in the way of education: He is a man of natural brain power, an antique statesman, and splendidly educated. He is a THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. been organised in Greenwood, Governor Vardanman's own home. In telling about their experiences and struggles, in nearly every case these men gave examples of how the white bank officials in their communities had been of service to them and worked in hearty co-operation with them. The president of the bank in Birmingham, Ala., told how, when his bank building burned some months ago, two of the white banks, without any suggestion on his part, fearing that the safe could not be opened in time for business next morning, sent messages to the effect that if cash was wanted with which to begin business, the colored banker had only to call on the white bankers for assistance. I think it will be of further interest to note that one of the directors of the bank in Mound Bayou, Miss., at one time was a slave of Jefferson Davis, and at the present time Mrs. Davis, the widow of the former President of the Southern Confederacy, looks upon him as being one of the most faithful of men. In closing his address, the president of the American Trust and Savings Bank in Jackson, Miss., called attention to the fact that it was the habit about forty years ago in Mississippi for white people to use slaves as security when borrowing money from a bank; and at that time in Mississippi this property which was once used as security is now itself engaged in the banking business. I think without exception it was reported that each one of these banks had a few white depositors, and each one reported that they had white borrowers also. It was also interesting and encouraging to hear the evidence that these bankers gave in the direction of showing that the colored people are learning to save their nickels and dimes as well as dollars in a larger degree where these banks are located. Further than that, the existence of these banks shows that the colored people have an increasing degree of confidence in members of their own race in the direction of trusting them in financial matters. man any President of any Republic would honor. He is a great reader, knows the world's affairs as well as we do here, and has every book of moment as soon as it is possible to get it. When I arrived I found he had read many of the most recent productions, including Mr. Bernard Shaw's latest. One incident will suffice to show how much he is in touch with men and things. When I entered this house I was almost dummed found with astonishment to see over the door this motto: 'Welcome to the pastor-mother of Salambo.' My translation of Salambo is known not only by the President but by many others, who subsequently expressed to me their deep gratitude for turning the book into a language they could understand. Barach himself is a man of intellect and learning, before whom I often felt a child. He is the star of the Republic, but there are many more almost his equal. All of them received the whole of their education in their own country. Barach was three when he left America. "During my stay I was invited to several State balls, which were dignified functions, conducted quite on modern lines. I also attended banquets, served in courses. The menu was a purely Liberian one, consisting mostly of eggs and different kinds of fruit. The people are happy, contented, and industrious, in spite of all that has been said of the inherent laxiness of the Negro. Every man has his own house, which he builds himself. No man would be able to build a house without a builder. Let it not be imagined that I am speaking of mud huts or timber structures. Not at all. The houses are brick, with fine verandas, windows, bedrooms, etc., I saw finer brick houses in Liberia than in any other place I have visited in Africa with the exception of the Transvaal.

This I hope to make a center where Liberians can come and learn things which it will be good for them to know. I shall have nothing but the latest and most expert ideas in the cultivation of coffee, rubber, cotton, sugar, tobacco, and all the things indigenous to Africa, and will experiment with every exotic thing that can be made to grow in Africa.

Wells of Washington the Groom —Elaborate Event. Toronto, September 20.—On September 11 at the residence of Controller Hubbard. 51 Bathurst street, occurred the marriage of his daughter, Miss 'Jillian Alice, to Mr. W. A. Wells of Washington, D. C. stenographer of the Insular branch of the War Department, and a graduate in pharmacy and medicine from Howard University. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. R. J. Moore, M. A., of St. Margaret's Episcopal church. The bride wore cream silk crope de chine over cream taffeta and the conventional veil and orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of orchids, a gift from the City Commissioner of Parks and Gardens. The bridesmaids, Misses Alice Soth and Annie Taylor, were groomed in white ornament and carried bouquets of pink and white roses. The groom's gift to the bride was a sunburst of pearls with a diamond center. Gold crescents with pearls were presented by him to each of the bridesmaids, Mr. W. G. Hubbard, brother of the bride, noted as best man, and received a gold-mounted silk umbrella. Dr. A. R. Abbott proposed the toast to the bride and groom, which was responded to by the groom in a festious manner. During the signing of the register, Mrs. B. F. Jones sang "Oh! Loving Heart, Trust 'On'." By Gutschalk. The home was beautifully decorated with National flags, palms and flowers, and was brilliantly illuminated. There were about 85 guests present, including friends from Buffalo, Washington, Troy, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Hamilton, Picton, Dundas and St. Catherine. A number of functions in honor of the bride took place during the previous week, including a stocking shower by Mrs. Taylor and an utility shower by Miss Watkins. A dinner to the bridal party was given by Mrs. Luke Green of Halo, and a nig-t dinner to the groom, elect at the residence of Mr. John Montgomery. The bride's going away gown consisted of blue cloth, gray felt hat trimmed with blue velvet, Persian silk and peacock feathers. The couple left on the evening train for the East and will be at their home in Washington after October 8.

AFRO-AMERICAN BUSINESS PIONEERS Humble and Homely Men Who Are Delving Success Out of the Soll For Success of Atlanta Session of the Business League Roused Local Interest, Prepared Entertainment and Had "Jim Crow" Rules Suspended Special Correspondence of THE AUX. ATLANTA, Ga., September 16.—Now that the National Business League has passed into history it might not be out of place to mention a few of the causes of its success. When the meeting was first decided upon as coming to Atlanta, there was some doubt as to the advisability of it. 'It was thought that the time was not yet ripe for the bringing of the League this far South. And so there were many who sincerely believed that First Vice-President G. M. Howell had a task on his hands that he could not well manage. But the session with the glowing success has shown that all were were groundless. Right it might be that Mr. Howell invited the League be set about seeing that no effort was lost to make it a success. For months before the scheduled date he virtually quit his tailoring establishment and started out. Attention on the part of the National officers was first called to Mr. Howell in 1904, when at the head of the Georgia delegation he carried to Indianapolis the largest representation except that of Indiana. Since that time he has been tireless in his efforts to bring the League to Atlanta, and when he left the city last year for New York armed with invitations from the governor, mayor, the Chamber of Commerce and the city council, it was very evident that he was destined to succeed and to realize his hope. It can be safely said that of whatever success attended the Atlanta meeting, much was due almost directly to his efforts and determination. Months ago he started his campaign and quietly pursued it until it culminated in a session said by many to have been the most successful in the history of the League. Realizing that certain discriminations existed at the terminal station in this city he called upon the president of the company and argued with him that these restrictions should be done away with, at least during the week of the League meeting; while he was not successful in having whites and blacks to pass out of the same door he did succeed in having the authorities to allow his reception committee to go unmolested through any part of the station. Fearing that there might be some clash between the conductors of the street-cars and the visitors he called on the president of the streetrailway and asked that the "Jim Crow" rule be abolished while the League was in session. The president promptly called his subordinates and directed that the proper orders should be given to conductors and motormen; and these orders were to the effect that during the week of the session of the League Afro-Americans were to ride in any seat that might be convenient without being molested. This was done and there was no friction of any kind between conductors and passengers. Then, too, being a business man whose occupation called him very generally among white business men, he personally spread a healthy From The Boston Herald After Tuskegee Institute, we are inclined to believe the Negro Business Men's League is the most important of Booker Washington's educational enterprises. It gives a good account of itself every year, and demonstrates that the Negro has capacity to do business in a businesslike way, that he has self-reliance, patience, sagacity and thrift. This convention met at Atlanta under peculiar circumstances. It was formally invited by the city government a year ago; but just before it assembled things happened that were of a character to put a damper on its spirits. One of these was the nomination of Hoke Smith for Governor on his platform of Negro disfranchisement. Another was the fact of a succession of outrages upon white women, not less than five having occurred within a few days, for one of which the alleged guilty Negro was lynched. But the convention met and proceeded to business as if nothing untoward had happened. Mr. Washington however, in his opening address making a timely protestation against the criminal tendencies of members of the race North and South. These crimes, he said, are committed not by educated and prosperous Negroes who have homes and a stake in the welfare of the community, but by loafers and vagrants of the criminal class, who spend their time in idleness, drinking and gambling. His remarks on this subject were heartily commended by the Atlanta newspapers. At the meeting which he addressed there were, it is said, some six thousand persons present or trying to be present, for the hall could not contain all, including many white citizens. It is reported that he spoke with muscular power, and the parts of his address that we have seen hear out this judgment. As is his habit he kept close to the matter in hand, the desirability of showing that the Negro race can do work which the world needs. "It is the policy of the League to hold up before the race its advantages rather than its disadvantages, its successes rather than its failures. We believe that while the world will pity a whining race, it solidem responds one. The races that have grown strong d useful have not done so by dependin, on or finding present with others, but by presenting to the world tangible evidences of their progress in agriculture and an industrial and businessal, as well as of their religious and educational growth.

July 18th sentiment, in favor of the League among them with the result that they stood ready to lend assistance to the venture whenever they should be called upon. smallest to the largest but that in one way or another was looked after by him in connection with the gentlemen who so generously assisted. Month ago, it was apparent to Mr. Howell that it would be no small undertaking, to care for and properly entertain the business men, their wives and daughters, especially in a city where considerable prejudice existed, and he took time by the forelock and started upon his preparations. His one central thought seemed to have been for the success of the League. It is known that he, to a great extent, neglected his own private business in going around trying to create enthusiasm for the meeting. There had been religious meetings and conventions and these had been looked after by the preachers and their congregations; there had been political conventions and these had been looked after by the offenders and their friends, but the matter of the Business League was purely experimental and unprecedented. True, the business people were responsive; but there were not enough of them, it would appear, to cope with the situation. It was Mr. Howell's happy thought that the movement should be of interest not only to the purely business people, but to all the people and he laid his plans on these lines. Of course, it would be unjust and unfair to give Mr. Howell the entire credit for whatever success attended the meeting, for there were such men as Collector of Internal Revenue H. A. Rucker, who worked bravely and unsparingly; Rev. H. H. Proctor, who rendered invaluable assistance; and many gentlemen, without whose aid Mr. Howell could have done little, but it must be conceded that to him more nearly than to any single individual was the success of the undertaking. Not a detail of the affair from the RICAN BUSINESS nely Men Who Are Delving Success tional and religious development than that of laying the foundation in owner- ship of the soil, the saving of money, commercial growth, and the efficient and conscientious performance of every duty with which we are intrusted." The best part of this convention was the men of their own successes in business life. These stories of vital experience, delivered often in a form wholly lacking in the elegancies of speech, were so sincere, earnest and convincing that they have a genuinely inspiring quality. Of the 1,200 members of the league all over the land, 500 were present at the convention. Josiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bay, a community of Negro planters in Mississippi, made a strong plan for scientific agriculture, the combination of cotton farming with cooperative cotton gins and compresses. The community which he has established is eminently successful, and is of high reputation, on account of its order, temperance and moral dignity. Deal Jackson announced: "I live in God's country—I mean Dougherty county, Ga. No pig was ever lynched in that county." This was for ten consecutive years delivered in Alaska the first of the new cotton crop "I started with one mule. The next year I got me one mule no'! It has been said that a nigger couldn't control niggers, but I controls 100. I own 2,000 acres of land, and I just refused $25 a acre for it." He owns also valuable live stock and machinery. "The sheriff hint in my place fo' ten years; we settles our troubles ourselves—an' I use de cote (court)"." William Boyd began working as a farm laborer, worked eighteen hours a day, and cultivated one his own account a patch of land on Saturday afternoons. At the end of the year he bought forty acres. "I've got 600 acres of land, sold twenty-six bales of cotton this past season for $1,286.35, and have put $1,000 of that in the bank." Alfred Smith, of Oklahoma, said that four years after enamulation he worked for his victuals and clothes. He went to the wild West "with no education, no money and no sense; I have got a little education, a good deal of money and a little sense." He said he had won nearly all the cotton prizes in sight. "I own 320 acres of land and every acre is worth a hundred dollar bill. I have $3,200 in the bank to-day." Charles Munn owns a truck garden of twenty-eight acres near Indianapolis which he claims is worth $600 an acre, and does a business of from $30,000 to $40,000 a year.

Already results are being shown in this city of the work accomplished by the session.

Atlanta is proud of what her enterprising citizens headed by Mr. Howell have done in this matter, and Georgia, no doubt, will send a large and strong delegation to Topoke, headed by Mr. Howell, whose interest in the League seems to be increasing if such a thing were possible.

The Southern cotton planters were amazed when he told them that he raised three or four crops a year from the same land, and plied him with questions which he answered as fast as they came. William Hill, of Montgomery, Ala., is a market gardener who, by liberal fertilization, makes his land produce several crops a year. He said he had lately been offered $25,000 for his garden James Whitlow, of Dawkins county, Ala., began saving money thirty years ago. He now owns over 1,000 acres, all paid for, and much live stock. The black people of his community own 2,500 acres, a modern cotton gin and three merchandise stores. They have a schoolhouse worth $500, and by voluntary local taxation raise money to extend the usual school term to seven months in the year. G W. Franklin, of Chattanooga, Tenn., is an undertaker. He began business by buying two or three coffins and a hearse, and proceeded to make coffins with his own hands like those he had bought. He set forth his present condition as follows: "Not counting my house and lot here in Georgia and speaking mainly of my achievement in Chattanooga, I own to-day twelve head of beautiful funeral homes, one buggy horse, four hearses, three of them made by my own hand and brain, one dead wagon, one casket wagon, six landaus, five houses and lots and two aplendid cemeteries. These sweet fruits of patient labor I have gathered without whining or complaining." There were many more similar stories told during the session, not less instructive and encouraging. They all go to show that the desipped colored man is getting his grip on the business affairs of this modern world and, making his way in the severe competition of trade. These men ask no favors, and, so far as the reports show, they are not worrying profoundly over the disabilities under which they live. They are making a place for themselves in the communities where they live, and they seem to be fairly content with their conditions. To have a home and a bank, account, and to be independent in a material way, is a cause of satisfaction not to be desipped. They are pioneers. They have risen by struggle and self-denial; but they have risen surely and safely. They have made themselves examples worthy of limitation by others of their race, and they are perhaps doing, as much as any others to make themselves acceptable in the world, and to secure privileges now denied.

Crans, ton Lee Re-elected Right Embient Commander SPRINGFIELD, Mass., September 24. About 150 Afro-Americans from different parts of New England and New York attended the 28 annual conclave of the grand commandery of Knights Templar which was held in the ayahum of Van Horn commandery of this city at the corner of Market and Sanford streets. The opening session was held in the morning at 10:30, at which the right eminent commander, C. Cranson Lee of New Bedford, delivered his annual address which was of a very encouraging nature and indicated that the order was in a prosperous condition. This, with the examination of credentials, was the chief business of the morning. The annual parade was held at 2 in the afternoon, and the 'brilliant' uniforms and plumage made a most imposing pageant. ```markdown ``` LOYAL F. FRIMAN. The line was formed on Market street, with William H. Brown of Van Horn commandery as marshal of the day. The line of march was as follows: Squad of police under Sergeant George H. Norris; Springfield brass band; Van Horn commandery of this city; Charles V. R. Gauldon, generalissimo; St. Paul's commandery of New Haven, Elijah Butler, eminent commander; Gethsemane commandery of New York, Peter Drummond, eminent commander, and Benjamin EDWARD R. LEWIS. Myers, past right eminent grand commander; St. Paul's commandery of Providence, Arthur James, acting eminent commander; grand commandery, C. Cranson, Lee of New Bedford, right eminent grand commander. Besides the above, which had sizeable groups in the parade, there were representatives from Lewis Dalton commandery of Boston, Thomas Dalton commandery of Boston, Benjamin of Newport, Simon and Golgotha commanderies of Providence, and Mount Zion of Worcester. The parade moved from Market street to State, to Main street, marching north to Lyman street and countermarching to Court street, where it passed in review of the mayor and a half-dozen members of the city government who occupied the band stand on Court square. The parade was witnessed by many people from the curbing along the streets, and a considerable number watched it from Court street. The civic organizations made an especially good appearance on the march, and they won applause as they passed by the reviewing stand. The parade then marched through Elm street to Main-, to State, to Dwight, to Stanford street, where the knights were dismissed. Immediately after the parade special cars were taken at Court square for Forest park, where the entire company was photographed near the McKinley monument. The visitors had but a short time to look about the park, but they were very much impressed with its beauty so far as they did see it. They were obliged to hurry back to the city for the business meeting. The afternoon session of the conclave opened at 3.30 and practically all the business that was done was the election of grand officers, which resulted as follows: Right eminent grand commander, C. Orancon Lee of New Bedford; very 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. eminent deputy grand commander, Andrew Burges of Providence, R.

It was voted at this session to hold the next grand conclave in Worcester on the third Wednesday in September, 1907. There was no business session in the evening, the time being devoted entirely to enjoyment, and although the evening was very warm, each tried to outdo his neighbor in the contest to see who could be the most merry or dance the most dances. When the business of the afternoon was over at 6.30 the members repaired to the homes of their friends or to the hotels where they had supper and a brief rest before going to Apollo hall, where the dance was held. The evening's entertainment began with an exhibition drill. This was to have been a competitive drill, but to impress the luminary, the dance was called to the team will, however, be awarded to the team that gave the exhibition. Dancing began after the drill and lasted until a late hour. During the evening a large number of friends of members of the order joined the crowd already in the hall, making about 100 couples on the floor. Conte's orchestra furnished the music for the dancing and W. G. Ryan was promoter. HOMES! HOMES! HOMES! WEST- FIELD GOLF PARK! Dr. E. E.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE Having seen your comments from time to time against the reduction of Southern representation in consequence of Negro disfranchisement, it may not be amiss to say that they are having a very homosexual effect upon our people. Such comments may be the only means by which the 15th Amendment may remain an integral actuity in the Federal Constitution. My conclusion is that the colored man who is in favor of the execution of Section II. of the 14th Amendment does not know the meaning of that section which I would paraphrase as follows: "Section II.—The right to vote of a part of the male inhabitants of the respective States, may be denied or abridged by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, provided, however, that Congressional representation be reduced according to the ratio which such persons may hear to the entire male citizens of such a State." This is certainly the sense of that section. But the 14th Amendment is adverse to that, because it says: "Section 1.—The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." It is evident, then, that both sections cannot be executed at the same time. This fact is so plain, until it really seems to me that the wayfaring man though he be a fool could not err by failing to see it. J. O. Nixon. Wilmington, N.

After traveling 500 miles southwest from Paxton, Ill., to Nashville, Tenn., I find their home in the division of the Negro, North and South, are verified, in fact, I do not believe any statement in my articles to the press can be successfully contradicted. Here in Nashville, the Negro is found engaged in business of almost every kind. He is in a Negro bank. He is in a $28,000-boom bank, shown that $900,000 passed through it in the last year. You find here the largest Negro publishing houses in the world. The great A. M. E. church Sunday, school headquarters are established here in the main business section of the city, presided over by the president of Allen University of Columbia, S. C. and a native of that State. Since Dr. Chappelle took charge of this business he has paid all of its debts and put in fifteen thousand dollars worth of machinery that is in operation daily. All of the Sunday school literature of the B. E. Church are derived from this point. Last year they did a business of nearly thirty-nine thousand dollars. All the machines are run and managed by cooled men. About 65 laborers are employed in the various departments. The management has been admirable and the efficiency of the A. M. E. church. Dr. Chappelle comes from their own school situated in Columbia, S. C. The colored Baptist publishing house is also situated here, over which the Rev. R. H. Boyd of Texas presides as business manager. This is headquarters for the colored Baptists also of the United States. The Rev. R. H. Boyd shows that he did a business of $150,000 in the last year. The buildings, four in number, are filled with modern machines used by all publishers. About 135 persons are employed to do this work; all under the management and control of Dr. R. H. Boyd. But it is remarkable to relate that both Dr. Chappelle and Boyd and the good and aptly appointed wife of the preteens starting their work in Naadville. The white Methodists backed Dr. Chappelle, while the white Baptists, under the leadership of Dr. J. M. Frost, backed Dr. Boyd. The property value of the A. M. E. church (all paid for) amounts to $55,000 and the Baptist's about $175,000. Soaring literary schools of the southern schools mentioned above are published here in Naadville. I said, in the beginning of this letter, that here was a wonderful contrast between the Northern and Southern Negro. Here are grocery stores, drug stores, clothing stores and harrows conducted by Negroes. They are also engaged in other business, following in the footsteps of Negro contractors, putting up large buildings, and in some places white men working for Negro contractors, white men working side by side on buildings with Negroes. The Southern white man objects to eating with the Negro, but does not object to working with him. Here the Negro is working out his salvation. Again, large numbers of them own valuable property, live in fine brick houses on prominent streets and some of them join hard to their white neighbors. L. Winters, the colored man with whom I am stopping, owns a block of valuable property on which there are two excellent brick buildings; besides, he is a wholesale merchant. I met a colored man yesterday who is agent here for a colored man sold twenty carloads of horses this year that were shipped to him direct from St. Louis. Nashville is the Athens of the South for white and colored; there are thirty schools here—four large institutions for the education of the colored race, including a medical, dental and pharmaceutical college. The two races get along here in perfect harmony and there is a distinct difference in the community. The white race is prospering here as nowhere in the South, and this prosperity has the same effect on the colored man. Nashville and its suburbs has a population of 125,000, 40,000 of them colored. There are 12 large brick churches here owned by the colored people of different denominations, and many other church houses built of wood. The church labor is high and everybody seems to be busy. There is a great deal of Yankee push and spirit here. Of course here they have the "Jim Crow" cars and race discrimination as in other Southern cities, which seem to be a stimulant to the Negro. Discrimination makes him stronger, more independent, and climates pride and respect. But there is one blessing, both races understand each other. The Southern spirit of friendliness, helpfulness and sympathy, and the Negro is allowed to work and do any work he is capable of doing. Amos Deices Making Statement. ABREVILLE, S. C., September 25. Thomas H. Amos, who resigned the presidency of Harbison college after being ordered out of town by white citizens for his alleged statement that Afro-American women had brought the white women to the washstub, denies that he ever insisted on a white paper to snuffed some local white papers to take up his cause, he may be restored to his job. Conversation Benefit to Speak Congressman William S. Bennett will speak at. St. Mark's Lyceum, 21st West 33rd street, Thursday evening, September 27, at 8. P. M., on "The Reduction of Southern Representation by Congress." THE NEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1908 With a number of gentleness of operative privileges of my own race I journeyed to Goldfield to witness the Gann Nelson combat in that mining comp. It was a novel experience for me, for I had never crossed the California State line, and I had met other people but those in San Francisco and Oakland. Arriving at Goldfield we found the color line drawn to the limit. A meal would cost us $75 or a drink $150 in some places, and in others these commodities were not obtainable at any price. Fortunately we had breakfasted on the train, and had taken with us a generous supply of liquid refreshments in anticipation of the fact that we might have to go with parched threats and hungry goats out携着 our stay in the bushelling, basking milking machines. At the time of the genial Joe, we were to accord Mrs. Gans to the afternoon's entertainment. Columbia, Gans' training quarters and hotel, is three miles from Goldfield. There are no street cars and automobiles and buses are the only means of transportation. The former rent for $0 a day to whites and any place from $1,000 to $10,000,000 to colored folks. Tex Rickard, however, obviated this triling inconvenience by courteously placing at the disposal of Mrs. Gans' party one of his fine cars. Ben Chandier of Portland, Burr Williams, Gillie Richardson and the writer were the coterie, and after a ramble through the burg, the gold burdened mines, etc., to lunchoon, and then to the arena. Joe, as the world knows, won the fight on a foul, after the mostest, lowest, and most desperate tricks ever witnessed in a ring on the part of Nelson, and per contra the most scientific, sportmanly, and gentlemanly conduct ever witnessed in the championship. In the early part of the fight he prefied, especially from the lower classes, demonstrated itself by the vicious outcries. "Kill the Nigger!!!" "Break his neck!" "Bite him!" "Kick him!" were the particular selections of refined demands. Battling Nelson tried to comply with every one of them. He would have succeeded but for the marvelous cleverness of Nelson. Through the long drawn out contest of forty-two rounds Joe maintained his equilibrium. He was sorely tempted to resort to the most foul and vicious tactics, but like the true gentlemanly sport that he is refrained from anything like bad behavior. His conduct gradually won the lower element of the spectators, and the cheers for Champion Gaul were the toocin, even from Nelson's abettors. This was the fight. We returned to Goldfield—we colored folks I mean—and $75 lunches were channeled to invitations; $150 drinks were supplanted by positive demands to enter and enjoy them. "Shipper" were guests of the town. The victory that Gans won in the ring was nothing compared to the victory he had won for his race. As a writer in one of the daily papers said: "A Nigger had to show a white man how to be a gentleman." Concluding, I want to repeat the query: "I Negger fights any moral or commercial pet of this race?" Could a coined minister, orator, or editor have accomplished in a few short hours in their aparate or combined professions what Gans did in the same length of time? I think not. MOTORING ABROAD. C. F. Taylor Says Little Old New York for His. To the Editor of The New York AoR: I arrived in Liverpool on August 7 and enjoyed the trip very much. We started touring from there a while, and then started for Scotland. We went to the northern part and will be in Wales on September 15. As for scenery, I have traveled the best part of the States, but Scotland is the prettiest country I ever saw. The roads over here for motoring cannot be beaten. But with all the good roads and beautiful scenery, and however well the people meet me—and do not put better treatment—give me dear old New York for mine. Let me thank you for the good cut you gave me in your valuable paper of August 2, for I was very much pleased with it. C. F. TAYLOR.

Afro-American citizens were accorded unusual courtesies. The Afro-American regiment, the 5th Illinois, was an important feature in the military parade, and invitations were issued to several of the prominent Afro-American citizens to attend the banquet at the Auditorium Hotel. Mother Zion Noise. Dr. McMullen prescheduled two sermons at both services last Sunday, his sermon in the evening being particularly impressive.

Miss Rosina Nickson, who has been quite ill since the re-election of the same officers in the last year, will be the next intendent. Mr. Eato will be re-elected superintendent for his 30th term. Several of the good women of the church headed by Mrs. Phoebe Richardson gave the speech on Monday evening. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed this innovation. If Baby is Cutting Teeth.

The separate street car system in the South, particularly in New Orleans, is an inconsistent and disignig arrangement. Under the lights we saw a Negro having on working gear in a government being what, is usually called a "jumper," go forward and take a seat beheaded a well-dressed white lady, and there was no complaint for the reason that this Negro was "accompanying another white lady and had her baby in his arms. There was no kick, no commotion, no attention paid whatever to the incident, although the Negro was unattractive and tilly clad, but he was well-dressed. He was—that made the difference. Had he been behaved, well-clad, self-speaking Negro he would have been bruised, driven from the car and given a heavy fine. The laws in the South are made to suit the convenience of the law-makers—that's all there is to it.
