"When, the gods would destroy they first make men." It was only after Leonard A. Flaming had made the pathetic plan that George M. Keith should be, for manny's sake, reinhanded another chance to make good its leader, that the Afro-American voters of the Ninth Assembly District consented to re-elect him to that office. Since his election his most malicious enemy could not have deviled a series of fallen more fatal than he has himself perpetrated. He has descended from one mad blunder to another. It is astonishing how many stupidities a man who thinks he can lead other men could commit in a space of so few days. In the first place, when a meeting was called last week of the elected officers of the organization to appoint—in pursuance of the resolutions adopted at the convention and ratified by Keith by his acceptance of office—an executive committee, Keith did not attend nor did he, nor has he, made any excuse for his absence. By this act he broke his faith with the voters who elected him. The other elected officers were by his decision forced to nominate an executive committee. The men chosen were William T. Hooper, chairman; B. L. Stokes, James R. Taylor, L. A. Wingam, James A. Norwood, Dr. P. A. Johnson, Leonard A. Flaming, Prof. A. L. Green, William H. Washington, James Nicholas, Charles Turner, P. K. King, George Brooks, G. W. Mills and W. M. Bantus. The character of these men, who stand for decency in politics against graft and low cunning, ensures the regular Afro-American organisation of the Ninth a standing and respect it has not enjoyed for years. Under Keith the Afro-American voters have been political menials; the new men in control will be courageous and unfettered enough to insist for the race upon all the political recognition due to its representation in the district. Not only did Keith try to ignore his co-elected officers—he bolted the regular organisation and attempted to organize an independent club, in opposition to the interests of Mr. Windolph and the Republican party of the district. On the very night when he should have met the elected officers and decided with them upon an executive committee, he called together a few irreposibles and illegally and disbonorably named an executive committee of his own, to be the nucleus of an Independence League in the district. To this meeting but one, it is said, of the other elected officers was invited. There remained yet another downward step for Keith to take and, of course, he took it. He proceeded to insult every decent Afro-American voter in the district by naming as the chairman of his executive committee the unassvory W. T. R. Richardson, whom James E. Garner, as many have not forgotten, had sent up to Sing Sing for a year about 15 years ago for peruvian. Keith's attempt to place Richardson over them was the last straw, and the patience of the regular executive committee broke. At its meeting Saturday night it was unanimously resolved to impeach Keith as leader. The Law Committee was directed to draw up charges and a summons and serve them on Keith. He was served Monday night at the club in West 34th street. The charges follow: New York City, October 6, 1906. THE REGULAR COLORED REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION OF THE 9TH ARCHIVAL DISTRICT AGAINST GEORGE M. KEITH. To M. GEORGE M. KEITH, Leader. Str:—You are hereby summoned to appear before the Executive Committee of the Regular Colored Republician Organization of the Ninth Assembly District, New York city, at its annual meeting, to be held at the home of William T. Hooper, Chairman, No. 410 West 30th street, Bough of Manhattan, New York city, on Friday, October 19, 1906, at 8:30 p.m. without fail, to show cause why you should not be removed and expelled as leader of the Regular Colored Republician Organization of the Ninth Assembly District, New York city, according to Article 7. (Expulsions) of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Regular Colored Republician Organization of the Ninth Assembly District, New York city, upon the following charges, to wit: 1. Why you disregarded the state formed and made up by the committees of nine, respectively from each end of the district, unanimously elected by the state's said committees on September 19, 1006, at the home of Mr. L. A. Wiegersla, 322 West 37th street; and at the home of Mr. L. A. Wiegersla, 322 West 37th street and 50th avenue, New York city, on September 26, 1006, you were a party to and permitted one Samuel D. Stuart, also a member of the Committee, nominated by the choice of said Committees, to wit, William T. Hooper, for chairman of said Convention, and by being doing ignored the choice of said Committees, and against the interests of said Organization. 2. Why you have failed to call a meeting of the Elected Officers of our Organization to discuss the Committee of our Organization, in violation of Article 3. (Officers) Subdivision 2. of the Constitution and By-Laws of our Organization, and this duty on other Elected Officers will be explained being made for your conduct. 3. Why you have utterly ignored the meetings of the Elected Officers and the Committee of our Organization, in violation of you have always received due and notice in writing and only of the and have sent no excuse for your failure. 4. Why you have ignored the Exemptions really adopted by the Convention. ```markdown ``` * Why you are not still attending with the organization, T. R. Richardson and others, and forming or intending to form an Independent Organization, the New York city, in direct opposition to our Regular Colored Republican Organization, the New York city, which moved out combination, compresey and clique in detrimental combination, compresey and clique in detrimental combination, and all its supporters. And in case of your failure to appear or answer these charges, or in case you are found guilty thereof, judgment will be taken against you, and you will be forthwith removed and expelled as leader of the Regular Colored Republican Organization of the Ninth Assembly District, New York City, and another member of our Organization, elected by the Executive Committee of our Organization, will be leader of our District, in your place and stead, to hold office until the next Annual Convention of our Organization; pursuant to Article 7. (Expulsions), of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Regular Colored Republican Organization of the Ninth Assembly District, New York city. Dated, New York, October 6, 1906. Mr. Wibdolph, of course, cannot stand for Keith's attempt to split the regular organisation in the district, but is trying to harmonise the two factions. He has called representatives of each to meet him Wednesday night. It is safe to say that the decent element will accept no compromise or reconciliation with the crew led by Keith. If, as is inevitable, no compromise can be made, Mr. Wibdolph will take his hands off and let the Afro-American voters decide which party they will support. Their decision is not doubtful. They will remand Keith and his supporters to the obscurity which their abilities and character make their proper station. WILL Continue Under Management of L. M. White. AUGUSTA, Ga., October 4.—The Georgia Baptist, whose editor, Dr. William J. White, was driven out of this city, came out to day as usual, having missed one issue. The office is in charge of the asistant manager, L. II. White, who proposes to continue the publication of the paper. Dr. White will have a statement in The Georgia Baptist next week. COURT TURNS DOWN "LILY WHITE"; FACTION IN ALABAMA Not Allowed to Use Party Emblem in State Elections. MONTGOMERY, Ala., October 5.—Attorney General Wilson to-day wondered an opinion that the independent Republicans of Alabama could not use the emblem of the regular party in the November election. Alabama Republicans are biddy split, the faction known as the "Lilly Whites" making an effort to gain control of the patronage in Alabama by making a showing in the election by putting out a ticket after the regular organization of the regular faction had decided not to contest the election of the Democratic nominees. The "Lilly Whites" sought to use the party emblem in the coming election, which was successfully objected to by the other faction. "THE CLANSMAN" HAVING LOSING TOUR THROUGH SOUTH Mayor of Pensacola Latest to Forbid Its Production. PENSACOLA, Fla., October 6.—Mayor Bliss of this city has put his foot down and vowed that "The Clanman," which is billed here for next week, will not be allowed to be produced. "The Clanman" has been chased out of several Georgia and Alabama cities, and cannot be making a very prosperous tour through the South. $100,000 CHURCH DEDICATED BY PHILADELPHIA BAPTISTS John Wannamaker a Speaker and Contributor—Credits Pastor. PHILADELPHIA, October 8.—The earnest religious feeling of the present day was strikingly exemplified yesterday in the dedication of the Cherry Memorial Baptist church, which is an unusually imposing and handsome structure. Especially interesting were the dedication exercises of this beautiful church, which forms an important addition to the many beautiful ones in Philadelphia. It was packed to its utmost capacity, hundreds being turned away. Dr. William A. Creditt, the pastor, made the consecration address and Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., of New Haven, Conn., preached. John Wannamaker made the principal address and contributed quite handsomely toward the building fund. The building cost $100,000. Dedicatory services will continue 40 days, a special night being assigned to each denomination of the city. Ministers of both races will take part. The new church has a seating capacity of 1800, and a membership of 1,400. Its Sunday school has an enrollment of 800. It is the largest Afro-American church of the city and is located at 16th and Christian streets. The congregation formerly worshipped at 11th and Cherry streets. In the evening the Rev. William T. Dixon of Brooklyn, N. Y., held forth. Afro-American Protected Himself When Insulted at the Fair Grounds MACON, Ga., October 7.—Blbb county jail was battered to pieces by the mob this morning and two white prisoners, Joe and Monk Curtis, held for the murder of John Newcom, were released. One Afro-American prisoner was shot in the hip by one of the mob leaders, but not seriously hurt. Sledgehammers and railroad rails were used in battering down the doors. An entrance was gained through a steel door. The streets are being patrolled and order restored. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the local state troops were in full control of the city, having been called out to battle a great crowd of white men who were bent on lynching an Afro-American who last night shot Charles Adams and William Solomon, prominent young white men, at the fair grounds where night shows were giving performances. The Midway was thronged with hundreds of young people. Adams and Solomon were escorting two young ladies when an Afro-American passed between the couples, separating them. An insulting remonstrance from the young men led to an encounter, when the Afro-American whipped out a revolver and opened fire on Adams and Solomon, both receiving wounds in the stomach. Adams was not so seriously wounded, but Solomon's condition caused much apprehension. The shooter was promptly arrested and placed in jail. A general stampede ensued among blacks and whites, as friends of the wounded men made threats of vengeance. Young ladies scrambled into cars and hacks and sought home at once. A great crowd soon formed, and half of them went to the jail and others to the barracks. Several attempts were made to break through the ranks of the twenty or more armed officers guarding the entrance. The attempt to lynch the Afro-American began at the Fair grounds as soon as he shot Adams and Solomon. While the crowds who had been attracted were firing on the fleeing Afro-American, Patrolman Johnson and Detective Will Adamson intercepted him. He had thrown down his weapon. They grappled with him and started to run away with him. At that moment the riot call was sounded and all the police of the city hurried to the scene. While the park officers were fighting with the crowds to keep the prisoner from being shot, the patrol wagon was summoned and the man hurried into it. As the whip was applied, shots began ringing out, and the wagon was the target of hundreds of revolvers. The Afro-American was hurried to the police station and there a guard was quickly formed, Chief Conner getting all his men together, with every man on force fighting back the men who clamored and surged against the line of officers. The city riot alarm was sounded, and the militia was called to arms. Mayor Smith was among the citizens trying to calm them, but in vain. At the jail the crowd did little work after the information as to the Afro-American's whereabouts was circulated. Sheriff Robertson and Jailer Hubbard had time, during the intervals, to reinforce themselves with all their deputies, and the militia was called to guard both places. The news spread rapidly, and determined citizens fought to get in the police station. Arrests were made, but in no instance did the officers get away with the man arrested. They released every one to get rid of the mob. Afro-Americans everywhere were hurried off the streets. The city prison and the county jail were surrounded by a strong military guard. A shot was fired from the jail into the crowd and one of the mob was hurt, but he was spirited away, and there was only blood on the ground to tell the story. Mayor Smith ordered the crowds dispersed when the militia reported, and they have been scattered. C. M. Adams and W. W. Solomon, fathers of the wounded white men, appeared among the crowds downtown and advised the people to keep cool. They sought order and said they had rather see the law take its course on the man who shot their sons. It has been found since a medical examination that Adams has good chances of recovery. Solomon was less fortunate, and he is hovering between life and death, with a shot fired directly into his bowels. May Be (captain of Indiana University Track Team. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., October 4. George Thompson, an Afro-American, may be captain of the track team of Indiana University. He is the best athlete in the college, and holds the State record for the quarter mile. May Run Independently ATLANTIC CITY, October 6.—Robert L. Fitzgerald, the Afro-American who was turned down in the primaries as a candidate for the City Council, will probably run an independent. His friends are more because they feel it was his color alone which defeated him. Vernon to Speak in Kansas. WRIGHT, Kan., October 6.—Hon. William T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, will speak in this city on October 224. Kentua, Ohio October 24—Bishop Benjamin William Armott of the African Methodist Episcopal Church died of osseleptic palsy last night as the Willforce University. Benjamin William Armott was born at Brownville, From, March 6, 1853, of Negro and Scotch-Irish ancestry. When a boy he worked on the mines on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and spent his spare time studying. From 1859 to 1868 he taught a school for Afro-American children at Brownsville, and in 1864 was principal of an Afro-American school in Washington. Being admitted to the ministry, he held postmates in Toledo, Cincinnati and Columbus. In 1870 he was chaplain of the Ohio House of Representatives. His religious work was broad in its scope, and he took a prominent part in politics. He was a member of the lower House of Representatives 1885-7, and secured the repeal of the "Black Law," securing a substitute giving Afro-Americans equal rights and privileges with white men. He was also instrumental in getting through the Educational bill prepared by the W. C. T. U. He was the author of many books. Bishop Arnett was married in 1858 to Mary Louise Gordon. of Wilberforce, the seat of Wilberforce University, which institution gave him the degree of D. D. "The Voice of the Regent" to Be Published in Latter City. ATLANTA, Ga., October 4.—Your correspondent notes that it it was generally telegraphed throughout the country that Mr. Price, the postmaster at South Atlanta, was arrested during the recent riot here. This is a mistake. Mr. Price, fearing that his life was in danger from the mob, asked the officials to put him in jail for safe keeping, and he remained in prison several days at his own request. He is now out, having been released when he requested that it he done. There is a rumor to the effect that Mr. J. Max Barber, the editor of The Voice of the Negro, has left Atlanta because of some threats against him. Mr. Barber's best friends in this city very much hope that the rumor is not true, and that he is not going to desert the people at this time. There is little doubt that threats have been made against Mr. Barber, because it is stated that he wrote an article for The New World World reflecting on the uprightness of the white people; but threats have been made against dozens of other leading Afro-Americans in Atlanta. They have stood their ground and have faced in some other death and in other cases have been led very near death's door. We all shall be disappointed in Mr. Barber's bravery and sense of loyalty to the race if he deserts us in this trying hour. What is needed just now is for the intelligent men to stand up and set a good example for the others. If Mr. Barber, however, does leave us and go North, it is very much hoped that he will not follow the example of so many others; that is, after fleeing himself, spend his time in giving advice to the Afro-American from a long distance as to how he should conduct himself in the South. Notwithstanding the effect of the recent riots, the colleges and universities in this city are opening with a reasonably good attendance, and the heads of these institutions say that within a few days the number of students will be very nearly up to normal. President Hope of the Atlanta Baptist College, President Bumstead of Atlanta University, as well as the heads of Spelman and Clark and Gummon and Morris Brown, inform your correspondent that they are not discouraged, but are going to plan to do the best year's work in the history of these grand institutions. CHICAGO, October 5.—J. Max Barber, editor of The Voice of the Negro, is here, having hastily departed from Atlanta. He announces that hereafter his magazine will be published from Chicago. INDIANA CATCHES LYNCHING FEVER FROM ATLANTA Mob Tries to Kill Sheriff Who Defends the Jail. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., October 7—Edward Jones, an Afro-American, murdered Alfred Stephens, a lionheart owner, last night, and two attempts were made by a mob to get into the jail and lynch the murderer, the mob not knowing that he had been secretly taken out of town. When the mob of 500 appeared at the jail Deputy Sheriff Davis told them the murderer had been taken away. This angered the crowd, and when George W. Henley began to talk to the mob he was assaulted and would have been killed had the officers not made a sally and dangled him inside. A leader of the mob with a dozen followers began to batter the iron doors of the jail. Deputy Sheriff Davis took his stand behind the iron grating, pointed his revolver directly at their faces and demanded that the man who headed the attack surrender or he would shoot him on the spot. This seemed to bring the leader to his senses and Deputy Sheriff Davis then proposed that if he would quiet the crowd a committee of three might enter the jail and search every room and cell. Opening 520.400 Hotel PHILADELPHIA, October 9.—The opening of the Hotel Scott, a new $20,000 hotel, owned and controlled by Amos Scott, an Afro-American, took place on Tuesday. The house is modern in all its appointments. Irish Rates $70,000 in an House. PHILADELPHIA, October 8.—Inside of one hour the convention of the United Irish League meeting in Witherspoon Hall raised more than $70,000 for the cause of freedom in Ireland to-day. The ninth annual convention of the Afro-American Council opened its first session Tuesday at St. Mark's church in the presence of hundreds of members and friends. It is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States. To T. Thomas Fortune and Bishop A. Walters belong the credit of conceiving the idea of forming a national organization composed of local councils of Afro-Americans in all parts of the country for the purpose of defending the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. The Council has had an uneven existence and history. At first it was composed largely of the prominent men and women from all walks of life, but it has been somewhat torn by internal dissensions and politics, but the germinal idea has steadily persisted until the present hour. The Council as now organized is full of promise to effect far-reaching results. Its program and purposes are in the hands of men who have had wide experience in national movements. The central and determined purpose that is to dominate the present session of the Council is to put in motion the forces that will bring to a test in the highest courts of the nation the constitutionality of every law that aims to oppress and restrict the rights and privileges of the Afro-American citizen. The Council does not stand for force, but law. The leaders thoroughly understand that the only possibility for success is to be at all times a law-abiding citizen. While like all other helpful organizations it must condemn lynch law, it also recognizes that the crimes of the black race as well as of the white race must be checked by the moral forces of education, religion and home training. The time is now right for the Council to carry on its declared purposes to success. / The Afro-Americans are more united in purpose than at any time since 1865. There is more intelligence, more money and more experience in the subtleties of organization in the Council to-day than ever before, while it also has the advice of some of the best educators in the country. The morning session was opened with Scripture reading by Dr. H. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia, followed by prayers by Bishop Clinton. The opening word to the Council was delivered in a strong address by Dr. M. W. Gilbert, of New York. His striking words of hope and courage might well be taken as the keynote of the addresses which were to follow. The committee on credentials reported, as did the officers also. The reports of the corresponding secretary, Dr. L. G. Jordan, created much enthusiasm, and many pledges of support were made. Corporation Counsel Delaney was introduced by Bishop Walters as a real friend of the race, and in behalf of the mayor of the city spoke strong and grateful words of welcome and confidence. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune precipitated a discussion on organization in which he maintained that the intellectual people of the race are doing their part, but that the masses have not responded to their efforts. His view of the matter was combated by Bishop G. W. Clinton, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Hon. John C. Dancy and Mrs. Ware, all of whom contended that the masses would be responsive if properly approached. When Mr. Fortune wanted to know how they could be approached there was no answer. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, responded in his usual happy vein. On behalf of the churches Rey. W. H. Brooks, of St. Mark's church cordially welcomed the Council, assuring it of their full support and cooperation. D. Macon Webster on behalf of the Bar. An eloquent address in behalf of the doctors was made by Dr. E. P. Roberts, who rather startled the audience by declaring that the chief cause of the physical defects of the Afro-American people are due to immorality. He was responded to by Dr. J. R. Francis of Washington, who took occasion to modify the statement of Dr. Roberta by tinting that the conditions under which Afro-Americans live must account for much of the disease and mortality amongst us. Given the same conditions and environments the Afro- PROTESTS AGAINST WRONGS The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

Mr. E. J. Scott, of Tuskegee, responded to an address on behalf of the businessmen of New York, delivered by Mr. J. C. Thomas of New York. It was good to listen to the splendid, helpful words of Mr. Scott directly from the storm center in he heart of the South. He said with much earnestness that although the title of race prejudice seemed to be mounting high, yet the Afro-American of the South has set his face resolutely against it and heroically determined to succeed; but without thought of revenge, but with obedience to law and confidence in himself, he was neither cast down nor discouraged. An interested and interesting spectator at the meetings was the Hon. L. M. Hershaw of the Ningara Movement. Dr. George W. Loe, of Washington, was called to the platform and arroused the Council to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by his vigorous denunciation of the outrages perpetrated upon his people. He declared, in clarion tones, that the American conscience should be aroused until the sentiments of The New York Times editorial of Tuesday morning should be repeated all through the country. There are at the close of the first day's session 50 delegates present, representing 20 States, including the District of Columbia. The evening session at St. Mark's church brought out a magnificent audience. After the formal opening of the session, an address by Attorney Alfred C. Cowan on our status in this country from a legal standpoint was greatly appreciated. He was followed by Bishop Walters, who delivered his annual address. The many strong points made by the president were vigorously applauded. The address in full follows: President's Annual Address. A little more than eight years ago (September 15, 1888) the Afro-American Council, successor to the League, was organized and at the time we swung to the breeze the following as our motto: "Our plea is for equal rights for all men, regardless of race, color, creed or previous condition of servitude," and we were in a moment of unrest changing our motto. We have been charged by some who went out from us because they were not allowed to control the organization, that we have surrendered to the enemy. The charge is false. Because of confusion in our ranks, some of us became a little indifferent and for a while rested on ours, but never for a moment thought of capturing them. We soon produced a line in any one of our addresses which have been sent to the country in which one principle with which we started has been abandoned. The following was our declaration of principles, and we adhere to it as firmly to-day as we started: (1) To investigate and make impartial reports of all lynchings and other outrages perpetrated upon American citizens. (2) To assist in testing the constitutionality of laws which are made for the express purpose of oppressing the Afro-American. (3) To promote the work of securing legislation which in the individual States shall secure to all citizens the rights guar-dened by the 13th 14th and 15th Amendments, to the Constitution of the United States. (4) To aid in the work of prison re-form. (5) To recommend a healthy migration from terror-ridden sections of our land to States where law is respected and maintained. (6) To encourage both industrial and higher education. (7) To promote business enterprises among our people. (8) To educate sentiment on all lines that specially affect our race. (8) To inaccurate and promote plane of the moral elevation of the Norte race. (10) To urge the appropriation of school funds by the Federal Government to provide education for citizens who are privileges by discriminating State laws. At Washington, in December, 1898, o the same year of the organization in out address to the country we said: "As a fair statement of our convictions, we affirm that there is no manhood or citizen right guaranteed to us by the Federal Constitution, which claim denial of which State Constitution against which we do not protest. We contend for the principle of manhood suffrage as the most effective safeguard of citizenship." We declared that a disfamous citizenization is a parish in the body politic, Chicago convention, in 1884 we delivered the following address: "The Black Man having complied with every condition which our civilization imposed upon him, he asks that the civilization guarantee to him immunity from outrage and wrong in the exercise of his rights as an American citizen, and in the enjoyment of his freedom as a member of society," every asynchronous address we have taken in the exercise of his rights as an American, we congratulate ourselves that we have never done anything to retard the progress of our great Republic, but have always defended its honor, whether assailed by foes within or by enemies from without; that the flag intrusted keeping has never been allowed to all wars in all the wars in this Nation has been won toington to Santiago, the colored man proved himself a good and valiant as and the equal of any man in arms, according to his opportunities. And he has proved himself equally as courageous in the prize ring, for I declare unto you that Joe Gans knocked more prejudice out of his mind than any night he whipped Nelson than all of our men put together have been able to preach out of them in the last 20 years." Wants Federal Law Against Mob Violence. From the very beginning the Council has bitterly opposed mob violence. We believed then and believe now that it is rebellion against the regular operation of the machinery of justice, and is slowly but surely undermining our entire judicial system. The horrible lynching of a mob in Springfield, Mo., who were subsequently arrested an account of the crime charged; and the death murder of three men in the custody of the man at Salisbury, N. C., tell us that mob violence still stalks abroad. The awful maurice of innocent and defenseless men at women at Atlanta, Ga., is an indicative of a terrible state of lawlessness. If this matter the Nation is sowing to the wind and is just as sure to reap the whitewash as the Lord lives. It must be apparent to all those facing anarchy. The cry "Lynch him!" is a part of the land, when even an accidental of fence is committed. The strong arm of the National Government is needed to arrest and stop mob violence. Citizensah is National, but control of it is State, and the disposition to vault all parts of the country calls amendment to the Federal Co which for the better protection 6 men will place mob violence clear the misdirection of the Federal court. The thoughtful men and women once placed little credence in the cry which came from Atlanta because of a half dozen rap committed a day upon white women sequent developments have shied most of those charges were true and published to the world in order shield the real investigators of the Atlanta massacre. For many months, by heading lines and malicious editions the newspapers of Atlanta arouse passions of its citizens and a race prejudice of flame which it will bring to extinction. Judge Boylen, Recorder the City Court, who had just ten rioters to the stockade to serve days, and then to answer further State Courts, said to The World spondent: The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily distorted image with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. "I believe that the whole trouble at- turday night started in rough borough lay. It was the rough element, out to i- dulge themselves to the utmost, and I do not believe that the idea of avenging assaults against the Northwest defenseless Negroes. It could not be called a mob of determined men, armed for the purpose of avenging an insult to a woman of the South by hunting down an assail- ant. I believe that the emotional 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 infamed." We have heard much about the Negro crimi- nists who were among the first to denounce their criminality, but the awful truth has been forced upon us by the massacre, that the most noted criminals of Atlanta are not all Negroes. Governor Glean Praised. It is with a degree of pleasure that I turn from this dark page of atrocities, which is not caused so much by Negro criminality as by downright race hatred, to the Governor Glenn of North Carolina, who is to be highly commended for calling upon the city to aid in putting down mob violence, and authorizing sheriffs and the militia of the State to stop mob, even if they have to shoot them down. The need of the hour is for strong, manly and fair-minded men in the executive mansions of the South. The anti-lynching, bush warfare and its formation, and the courageous and able Ida Wells Barnett was placed at its head. Through this Bureau, protests against lynching were sent to some of the Government of the State and a petition put to Congress urging that august body to take action against mob violence. But it was too busy with material things of life (as it is to-day), that it had do time to concern human life, especially since that human life is an ebony. I am sure that this Council will not adjourn until we have resolved to renew our efforts along this line and gifted Mary Church Terrell, who is now at the head of our Anti-Lynching Bureau; there is no reason why we should succeed in getting Congress and the signatures of the States concerned to moth violence. Distranchment. The ignoble work of disfranchising Negro moves steadily on. Georgina is to be the seventh Southern State to deprive her Afro-American citizens of their right of emancipation. Smith made the total disfranchisement of the Negro his main issue in his campaign for governor and was overwhelmingly endorsed at the primaries. I have no doubt that he acted during his term of office. Oh, that the Northern press would impress upon the South the folly of its course in trying to degrade and humiliate the intelligent, hardworking Negro land. Oh, for a word to be heard in the South, calling the white people of that section to their senses and a mind wide enough to show them the folly—the utter folly—of trying to deny to the intelligent, hardworking and property holding Negroes the ballot. If they persist in their foolish course, a conflict is sure to come in which the Negro will not be the only one to suffer, as was the case in Atlanta; business will be paralyzed, credit destroyed, desolation created, and the justice is no more dead in all the white people of America ta-day than it was in the years prior to and during the Civil War. The quickest and surest way to peace is for those who are in authority to proclaim to the Nation that every Negro is entitled to prefect Constitution, shall be allowed to our efforts we can collect nameb ds to payzo for such legal talent. The nameb is paid off from the monies source of Providence, Saturday, Sep ter 22: "Once more an attempt is to be made to get from the Supreme Court a ruling on the constitutionality of the Negro disgruntled laborers, and years been enacted in many of the Southern States, and the organization that is to make it, the Afro-American Council, above its appreciation of the difficulty of the Negro laborers, and dollars for the necessary legal expenses. That will probably be none too large a sum. Very able lawyers must be employed, and they may have to bring more than one case before the question." can be put to the court in a form that will force a direct and final decision. For thus far the court has steadily dodged the issue, and with both political parties now more or less favorable to the questioned legislation, it will doubtless continue to do so as long as it can. The learned jurist, Mr. Brennan, is a respected politicians, but they are naturally averse to dealing with matters that have a political aspect." Speaking on the same question, *TH Philadelphia Preca says: "Secretary Taft, in his declaration at Greenbore that schemes to disfranchise the Negroes in the test of the Fifteenth Amendment, has given new importance to the efforts make to test the Grandfather Clause." The Afro-American Council, which meets in York near October, has for its first task asked the Negroes to support a case to test the Grandfather clause so directly that the Federa Supreme court cannot evade it. Nothing can be more important. The meeting held in York last week for the purpose of an interim work on the case is followed by similar meetings wherever Negro audiences can provide the means to further this work. "Irritating political agitation is of no value to the Negroes, and we need and all that is needed, is the careful legal preparation of a case, which will test the question, whether it is possible, under the Constitution, to apply a test which works only by race instead of one race, is applied to all American citizens alike." Spamodic Axiation Futile. We must cease our spasmatic efforts to create sentiment and to raise funds to test these laws, but we must resolve to continue the work for at least fifty or a hundred years, because enemies are not going to give us anything voluntarily; we will have to wrest by the strong arm of the law or other means everything we get along the civil and power lines. In this fact, the better it will be for us. The object of our enemies is to make us serve and they are doing and going to continue to do everything in their power to make us suffer. We sense for us to cry Peace! Peace! when there is no peace, and there never will be any peace until the Negro has been accorded the rights given to other citizens. We understand that our struggle is for equal rights. None of the leaders on either side are deceived. We may use diplomatic language and all kind of subterranean strategies, but it is trying to keep us down and that we must determined to rise or die in the attempt. I here, and now call upon the members of the National Afro-American Council to dedicate themselves anew to the work of securing our rights, with a resolve to that which leave to our children the heritage of a manly struggle to save them from serfism. We should, by a campaign of education, arrange our brothels in the South to the duty of the hour—urge those who are prepared to meet the qualifications of the men to register and if they are denied that privilege, then appeal to the courts and petition the Legislature and continue to do so, until they say like the unjust judge in the Scriptures, "Though I fear not God nor regard man, but because this widow has been a continual coming she weary me, they will say, Though I fear not the laws nor regard the Negroes, but, because of their continual agitation, protest and petitions, we will give them their rights. Wherever our brothems are found unprepared, we will urge them to "spare to meet them. Hard and continuous work is needed. Separate Coach Law. When this question was first mooted, it was declared by its abettors, that it was the vicious and filthy Negro that they were after, and not the intelligent and cultured men and women of our race; but we have learned by bitter experience that just the opposite is the case. No matter how cultured, wealthy or intelligent the Negro may be, his presence is resented among the white passengers on the Southern railway trains. It is known that all that these discriminations are the outcome of race prejudice and are intended to humiliate and degrade the most intelligent among us. Shane on a country, that will allow the riffoff of all the nations of the earth to come to these shores and be granted privileges superior to those of its most loyal citizens. None but those who have experienced it know the thagrin and humiliation one feels, when seeing a Chinman, Italian, Turk, or whatnot seated in a coych, where he is excluded on account of his color. It is not reflection that will never be a familiar of manhood and present. Jim Cross' cars could be one and a place in the civilization of the 19th century. They are a menace to health, a violation of the laws of common decency, and an outrage against the manhood and canhood of our race. One of the first duties of the Council is test if brought properly before the Su- to attend the separate quoch law in the state of New York. He was more likely to win out in that which attracts inter-State passengers. I cannot see why the laws of the Southern State should affect inter-State passengers, and I do not believe that they can stand in prime court. We know the Lawyer We know the Lawyer in his Maryland case, and I believe the same will obtain in other States when the test is made. by one provision of power provided by the state of New York in that section. A great injustice was deep on the part of the Federal government when they freed over four million bondmen, and made no definite permanent arrangements for their in- tributual development. I am aware that a pleaded white man is franched, no matter how poor, or what his character, nobody to be disfractured the Negroan, how can there be Bundarism to the West. We feel that a more general distribution of the Afro-American race throughout the States of the Union and the new territories of the Republic, in order to reduce the congested population of the Southern States, is a problem in those States, and we argue that such distribution should be encouraged in all reasonable ways. We have no sympathy whatever with the subcultures of those who wish to have the race have a better fit for their environment. We shall remain here, in the land of our fathers, and work out our destiny. While the South is the natural habitat of the black man, and in some respects most favorable to his material development, the political drawbacks we believe that wherever it is practicable, it is best for him to emigrate to other sections where equal rights will be accorded himself and children provided that such sections can open to them. We must maintain himself and family. As I see it, the West seems to be preferable for Negro emigration. The late outbreaks of Atlanta and Memphis ought to be sufficient argument to convince any one that the West is not the best place for all the Negroes. We need greater activity on the part of our Emigration Bureau; it should select sections which are suitable to our people and encourage them to emigrate thither it is allly and wicked to stand idly by and not take action on our part could save them indeed something definite along all these lines must be done at this meeting. Material Advancement. One of the greatest needs to day is wealth; by it we could open avenues of employment for our sons and daughters who are annually being graduated from our school and could work with the National Negro Business League in the work of stimulating our people to go into business. Our course to safety, influence and power is by the way of the school house, church, farm and the school yard. The progress we have already made and urg this progress as a stimulus to further action. In 1863 we possessed comparatively nothing; today the real estate is valued at $15,000,000. The total number of farms operated by Negroes is 746,715; he owns 156,376 farms, and is a part owner of 29,860. He owns 317,450 homes; free from debt, 235,000. He is valued about $15,000,000, and his church property at about $30,000,000. The following are the occupations, i which Negroes are engaged: 144,124; farmers, planters, overcrowds, 757,822; laborer (not specified), 545,933; servants and waiters, 465,734; launders and laud dressers, 220,104; draymen, backmen painters, 55,227; steam railroad em plains, 55,227; mines, 55,227; saw and planting mill employees 33,206; porters and helpers (in stores etc.), 28,577; teachers and professors it makes, 28,577; turpentine farmers and labors 20,741; barbers and hairdressers, 10,342 nurses and midwives, 19,431; clergymen 15,528; tobacco and cigar factory opera ers, 15,528; brick and stone, 14,396; dressmakers 12,408; iron and steel workers, 12,327 seamstresses, 11,537; janitors and sextons 11,538; housekeepers and stewards, 10,286 gineers and firemen (not locomotive), 10,224; blacksmiths, 10,100; and other occupations, 185,329. The figures which I have submitted are from the following: 100,100 and make a splendid showing in matera matters for the black man. Education The Council still stands for industrial and higher education; indeed we believe them to be inseparable if the race is to that plane of development that the most advanced races of the world have reached. No people can have too much enlightenment. Thought controls the world, and knowledge controls the mind, and ductive to thought. The more learning a man has, provided it is balanced by common sense, the better prepared is he to adopt proper means to accomplish ends. It is the power of cities, founded governments, lighted the world with electricity and given us 10,000 useful inventions. It is the main lever in the uplift of national and international powers and Iome of the past great and famous. It is the force that is embling the Anglo-Saxon to make such hedway along all lines; it is hard to distinguish where knowledge ends and the higher learning begins. Separation of the two has done the race incalculable injury. Our enemies have taken advantage of this unfortunate circumstance to retard our political program. We must not allow that one is not used to the detriment of the other, but they must be kept inseparable. Who among us with any amount of intelligence doubts the necessity of industry in our country, has been for skilled laborers, and the race that does not produce them is compelled to deteriorate. We see evidences of this al faround us. Wherever there is a college campus or nearby there should be a department for 'industrial' training. Pulsed be the hand that would destroy either! Long live the men and women encouraging both. As an organization we assume an afraid of our position on this question. Prison Reform. The Afro-American Council is pledged to aid in prison reform. The convict lease system of the South is a stench in the nostalgia of good men and women in all pittsburgh counties. It has been told upon good authority that the camps are hells on earth and that more cruelties are perpetrated on their victims than in any other department of our state. Ever and anon we are shocked at the murders these foul pens. We have been doing what we could to create sentiment in favor of prison reform. Our efforts along this line have not been as successful as some have, but we have created sentiment in favor of prison reform. Because of prejudice, Afro-American prisoners are the victims of this vicious system. Here is a work in which we have without jealousies and misunderstandings. We have criminals as well as other races, and some are very, very wicked, yet we think that they should be accorded the same in law treatment that is meted out to prisoners. Macedonian cry comes to prisoners. We must convict pens. "Come over and help us." Federal Aid of Education. The Council stands for Federal aid, for education in those States where Negroes are denied efficient school privileges by discriminatory State laws. We believe that the Federal government should amplement the school fund of the said South- are by the —provocation of poor funding pushing the schools out of that section. A great impetus was the race on the part of the Federal government when they freed over four million billion, and made no definite electoral development. I am aware that to some extent this wrong has been righted by the philanthropy of the North, but the amount contributed has not been sufficient to meet the dire needs of an on-Boundary, on-Southland, the money appropriated by the State is insufficient to keep the public schools open for more than three months and never enough to furnish presidents and never enough to furnish all sections of the country, and witnessing the need of better school facilities. It has convinced me beyond a doubt that the Council is right when it demands Federal aid to help in our intellectual improve Criminality. The Council is pledged to promote the moral and religious development of the race. We are aware that we have criminal influences among us, and we would be better off if we did not have such a world if we did not have such a class. If is augmented in many ways by voluntary, ideology, and by involuntary idenities, the result of race prejudice, and also by systematic effort on the part of our enemies to prevent it in order to secure clean civic labor. Notwithstanding all of this, the tim has come when we should put-four greater efforts than heretofore to reform our crimi school, establishment of kindergartens, the coming generations from becoming criminals. This can be done by diligent home training, moral instructions in pub schools, establishment of kindergartens, the coming generations from becoming courage of religious societies for our young people. It is evident to the thoughtful that our greatest bane at this tim must be the moral class. Something radical must be done to check the inflowing tide of criminals. I am of the opinion that the Negro church should place greater emphasis upon the more strenuous efforts to reach the masses My people, like all others, need the Christian religion to save them. The greatest saving force in the world is the regenerative power of the Christian religion in the agencies of education and wealth—in the uplift of the black man—still I verily believe that the words of the Almighty God, uttered by the prophet Jesus, "Said He, "O Israel, that hast deceived myself, but in me is thine help. Need of Religion. We must have education and wealth but alone with them we need Christ—ragged religious character and behind it all Almighty God, guiding and sustaining us. I think that we should appeal to our people on the farms and plantations of the South, or wherever they may be found to so conduct themselves in their relations among one another, and toward the other in their relations, and in their prearance of evildoing, and having done everything to merit justice and fair treatment, we appeal unto the American people, North and South, and to the God of Nations, to protect us in the exercise of rights as citizens and members of society. Above all things we need the hearty cooperation and substantial aid of leaders and the rank and file of the race. I appeal to one and all to unite with us in the fight for black men everywhere could right. A dignified and able address was delivered by Rey, A. L. Gains of Baltimore Md., from the subject, "American Prejudice Suppression of American Institutions." At this point in the program Dr. H. L. Johnson, of Philadelphia, was called to the platform to speak a word to the Council. As he was about to leave to attend the funeral of the late Bishop Arnett, whose death had just been announced by President Wallers, resolutions of respect were voted upon to be sent to the family by Dr. Johnson.

Green; address, Dr. O. M. Waller. One of the sameest addresses of the session was by Wilford H. Smith, Eqn. of New York. The address follows: Wilford Smith's Address The question of the constitutionality of the recent constitutions of the South, and especially in the State of Alabama, is hardly open to discussion. It was badly asserted by the framer of the reaction assembled, in connection assembled, that they were rejecting legislation at the time for the purpose of evading and annulling the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. They commanded that amendment as an entitlement upon the rights of Southern white men, and proceeded to deny its provisions and trample upon it. The convention being composed entirely of white men, elected upon a party pledge that no white man should be disfranchised, no matter, how ignorant or poor, or what his character, which cared for the Negroes, how can there be any question raised as to the purpose and outcome of such a convention? The convention, however, was composed of men of learning and ability, and they spent a great deal of time shaping up the matter of nullification and disfranchisement to make it appear fair on its face, and surrounding it with justifications to farnish loom holes for the courts. "The new constitution of Alabama, and I think the same is true of all the other Southern States, is so framed that the distranglement established by the work of the registrars or other officers charged with the duty of registering the electors of the State. The registrars are more puppets of the party in power, and if directed so the politician will be obliged would accomplish the utter disfranchisement of all or any set of Negroes they desired, regard them to, and without any provision of, the State Constitution audited by the legislature, slightest degrees the rights of the black men, asserted under the Federal Constitution. To the registrars the Southern States are sovereign, and the white States the South still more sovereign, the Federal Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding. "So that the real kernel of this whole question is how to find a way to compel the South to respect and observe the proclamation of the Federal Constitution. It is quite apparent to any school boy that the recent Southern constitutions are in conflict with the Constitution of the Federal Constitution, and if any Justice of the Peace Court would give a decision to the contrary it would go down to posterity in everlasting decision and contempt. The point, to my mind, is not so much in having the courts declare these Constitutions unconstitutional, which everybody knows in advance, but infinitely more so. The Constitution is not adequate and effectual remedy to relieve this government from the odium and the dishonour of the nullification of the Southern States, and of distrustbringing citizens of the United States, by the Southern States, on the ground of race and color, in a Republican government of the free and the home of the brave. "It became my duty in 1963, on behalf of the Negroes of Alabama, to prepare and present the case of Giles against United States, in which the equity and remedial powers of the Federal Government were invoked, and in which an appeal was made to the conscience and honor of this Nation, to compel the registration to all citizens of the United States in the matter of registration, and to enjoin and prevent the violation of the Fifteenth Amendment by the registrars in allowing white men to qualify as electors, when the Constitution was ordered men on account of race and color. The debates in the Alabama Constitutional Convention, showing the attacks upon the Negroes and the Fifteenth Amendment, when the Constitution was ordered men on account of race and color, the record in the case, and it was also shown how, out of 200,000 qualified electors of the Negro race in Alabama, only about 2,200 were allowed to qualify, and only 1,000 were in the State who applied for registration were given certificates of qualification. "This case was brought long prior to any election, and had no connection with the matter of voting, except to call the attention of the part of the registration officers, who were setting or defending the Fifth Amendment, in passing upon the rights of Negroes to become electors in the State. The Court, as you well know, refused grant and therew that it is political; and went out of their way to say that even if registration was compelled, if there was a conspiracy to prevent Negroes from voting, they would have to go further and be compelled to vote. Negroes were counted. It was no business of the Supreme Court whether Negroes ever voted or got their votes counted after being registered. The only question for them to decide was whether or not they would compel equal treatment in the matriculation officers' guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. "This decision, to my mind, destroys the hope for any relief from disfranchisement through the courts. I have since been told that a certain Bishop of the A.M. E church that had this case been presented by a white man of National reputation a different decision would have been handed down. According to this, it would self when the next case is presented by some distinguished white attorney. That decision, however, will always be regarded by fair-minded men as not only a serious miscarriage of justice, but as an outrage to the citizenship of our common country. "Think of it!" If a lawless mob of strikers should threaten to interfere with the property of railroads engaged in trade between the States, known as Interstate Railroad, they would be the transmission of the United States mail, or if the obligation of a contract between a fisherman and a washerwoman in the humble hotel in Georgia were sought to be impaired by the Legislature or a court of the United States Court of the United States would issue its injunction at once to protect such rights, and prevent their invasion, and enforce its decrees if necessary by the military power of the Federal Government. The Fifteenth Amendment threatened invasion of the rights of citizens of the Fifteenth Amendment, and when it is openly admitted that Negroes are being disfranchised in Alabama by the hundreds of thousands, in violation of, and with the intent to奴役, the foundation of the Federal Government's think of the highest court in this land confessing its inability to grant relief! "True, in the eyes of the law the Negroes' right to vote is not lost and cannot be legally lost, notwithstanding the provision of the South, and the fraudulent work of the Boards of Registrars, because in law a thing done by fraud is not done at all, and it might be well to present cases to a Supreme Court for the moral effect of a decision emphasizing that we are bound to ask the question. Of what good is the further declaration of rights that cannot be enforced? We know in advance what the court will do, and we know as long as the Fifteenth Amendment is in the Constitution. But how are we going to have the Fifteenth Amendment enforced in a practical way? is the question as simple. "Since the Supreme Court of the United States refused to grant any beneficial relief in these cases, I am of the opinion that the only effectual remedy for disfranchisement is the enactment by Congress to grant the Registration Law so that the Federal Government will charge of the registration of electors for Federal offices in all the States. "Once upon the registration begins as a qualified enroller to vote for Federal officers, it will be enforced to vote for State officers. The whole difficulty is in the matter of registration. Such a law is not enforced by the State or the boards of the Southern States. The Federal Government has enacted a National bankruptcy law for the protection of the creditor class. With how much greater propriety and right, and with how much greater reason can it enact a National bankruptcy law for the protection of citizenship, in view of the condition obtaining in the South! "It is the bounded duty of the National Government to put an end to these conditions by law before it is too late. The effort of the South to make parliaments of nearly one-half of its population for no reason other than to impose taxes upon them without representation or voice in the government, is wholly unrepublican and subservient of the principles of free government, and in the long run bound to lead to strife and disorder, which only involve the South alone, but the whole Nallon as well."

DENOUNCE MOB VIOLENCE AND DEMAND' JUSTICE Rochester Afro-American Observe Campbell's Day of Praise ROCHENTER, October 8.—Members of Zion A. M. E. church and their friends filled St. George's hall in South avenue at two services held yesterday for the collection of a fund with which to complete the new church building in Favor street, and to observe a day of prayer in accordance with a proclamation issued by Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council. Mr. Walters, a L. B. Blackwell, D. D., of Philadelphia, preached and offered the thanksgiving prayer in behalf of the race. He invoked divine aid to obtain justice in the treatment of the colored people in the South, referring to the recent riot in Atlanta. The rights of even the humblest of citizens to the protection of the government to which they acknowledge allegiance were cited and thanks were offered for the many acts of the North joy. Mob violence of the South was denounced as contrary to the constitution and a blot on civilization, and a plea was made for justice for all Afro-Americans accused of crime, especially in the South. Good music was provided by the choir. Good music was provided by the choir under the direction of Mrs. John G. Lee, musical director of Zion A. M. E. church. Following the sermon, John W. Thompson, chairman of the Church Building Committee, announced that the report of club presidents would be received and subscriptions to the building fund taken. There was a generous response on the part of those in the audience and $504.61 was collected. As $5,000 is necessary to carry on the work on the church and that sum must be raised before November 1st, members of church will continue to solicit subscriptions. Prominent men and women of the city are interested in the undertaking and subscriptions from that source were reported last night. PULLMAN PORTER LOSES SUIT TO PENNA. RAILROAD Was Blown Into Suquehanna River by Dynamite Explosion. PHILADELPHIA. October 9.—The first echo in the local courts of the wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad near Harrisburg on May 11, 1915, was heard to-day when Judge Stake called for trial, in Court No. 5, the suit of L. J. Rose, an Afro-American, against the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Rose was a porter on one of the Pullman cars, and said that the first explosion of dynamite following the collision literally tore off, his uniform and hurted, him through a car window, while the force of the sec. 3 explosion lifted him up and threw him into the Suquehanna river. Rose testified that his hearing is impaired and that he suffered other injuries. Dynamite supposed that Rose, in his position as a Pullman porter, was analogous to an employee of the railroad, and, as such, assumed the risks of the occupation, and that he had failed to show that the company had been negligent. Judge Stake instructed the jury that under the circumstances of the case there was nothing for the court to do but direct a verdict for the defendant. Sherif Optimized Web COLUMBIA, S. C., October 6—Henry Small, an Afro-American employee of Cole Bronx, circus, who yesterday afternoon shot three white men, one fatally, at Manning, is to night being brought to the State penitentiary for safe keeping. George Spiven, master of transportation, Ed Tilton and W. H. Moore, also employees of the circus, will also be placed in the penitentiary as witnesses to the shooting. A lawyer was formed at Summer to night with the 'avowed intention of lynching Small as the train passed through that place, but the mob was evaded by the sheriff taking his prisoners across the country to Bethune.

AMERICA, Art, October 8.—Within the past few days this town has been the scene of a series of murderous attacks and regimens by whites and Afro-American culminating last night in the lynchings of an innocent Afro-American. The trouble originated on September 28 when R. R. McDonald, white, killed an Afro-American musician named Willey Middly. Next day at the inquest, held at the undertaking store of the Colum brothers, Afro-Americans, a difficulty in which Robert Colum was killed and Deputy Constable Ed. Lindsay and Corrert Colum severely wounded. October 6 John Lindsay, father of the men who was suspected by the pre-Americans of having been implicated in the killing of Colum, was shot and killed, and his son, Milton Lindsay, was punished. The shooting, Milton Lindsay, lives was done by Garret and Charley Lindsay brothers of Robert Colum. The shooting took place in the understaffing establishment conducted by the Colum brothers. Following the shooting, officers went to the scene, but were fired upon by the Columns, who barricaded themselves in the place. They then turned out the lights in the place, and afterwards made their escape through a door in the rear of the building. A crowd of several hundred armed men gathered, and before it was known that the men had escaped shots were fired through the building, and as a final resort the place was dynamited. Then the pose entered the building, but the men had escaped. The pose searched the home of the Columns, but they were not found there, and it is supposed that they have gone to an adjoining county, in which they formerly lived. The grocery and undertaking establishment belonging to the Columns was set on fire. It is supposed that the fire is of incendiary origin. The fire spread and a call for help was sent to the Little Rock fire department. James Mahoney, a contractor, and Al Belding, a reporter, while going near Columns a short time afterward, discovered the house on fire. Mahoney fired his pistol in the air to give the alarm, and immediately the two men were fired on from four quarters with shotguns. Mahoney was shot in the hand, and Belding's clothes were peppered with bird shot. H. Blackburn, thirty-seven years old, an Afro-American who conducted a confectionery store in Argenta, was arrested on suspicion of being the man who fired on Mahoney and Belding. As a precaution Mayor Faucette aweed in fifteen extra policemen and the sheriff sent several extra deputies to assist the police. Four masked men entered the police station - from the rear last night. One covered the turnkey with a pistol while the others got his keys, unlocked Blackburn's cell and took him out the rear way. Not a shot was fired, and there was no disturbance, so that Policeman Pratt and two deputies, who were standing two blocks away, knew nothing of what was going on until they heard several shots fired at Main and Sixth streets. Going there they found Blackburn dead, hanged to a telegraph pole, while the crowd was apparently composed of mere onlookers. Sheriff Kavanaugh has had a conference with Gov. Jeff Davis, and it was agreed that in the event of the capture of the Columns the militia would be called ent to protect them from mob violence. STILL ANOTHER MURDER ADDED TO ARGENTA SERIES Afro-American Shot by White Whose Father Was Killed. ARGENTA, Ark., October 9.—Alexander Champion, an Afro-American bartender, was shot to death in a saloon at the foot of the Free Bridge between Little Rock and Argenta at noon to-day. Luther Lindsey, son of John B. Lindsay, who was killed by Afro-Americans Saturday night, is held under $3,000 bonds charged with killing Champion. Champion was arrested this morning on a charge of carrying a pistol. He was later released that he might raise money to pay a fifty-dollar fine. Special, policemen and extra deputy sheriffs are stationed in the railroad yards, the Afro-American settlements, and throughout the downtown section, and no further trouble is expected. AFRO-AMERICANS LYNCH ONE OF THEIR OWN RACE He With Charged With Assault on Afro-American Girl. DAILAS, Texas, October 9.—Anthony Davis, an Afro-American hack driver, was lynched at Texarkana by a mob of his own race at 2 o'clock this morning. Davis was accused of attempting to assault a sixteen-year-old Afro-American girl from Baxter, Ark., a wek ago while she was at the Union Station in Texarkana on her way to a school at Crockett, Texas. Davis at the time was arrested and admitted to bail and the girl proceeded to Crockett. Late night a mob of several hundred Afro-American's quietly got Davis, took him in his own back to Roose Hill, a suburb, tied a rope around his neck and strangled him to death. Miss Lillian R. Jackson has moved into her residence, 1012 Chestnut street, valued at $3,500. SEA BRIGHT, N. J., October 6.—Earnest Chapman, an Afro-American fisherman, was nominated as councilman of Sea Bright at the primaries held her last Tuesday. Both the Republican and Democratic tickets were incomplete when they went to the polls and the party leaders threw all lithoughts of organized work in the borough to the winds and left it up to the people to say whom they wished for councilman. The Republicans came out strong and took care of their men, filling their ballot for borough officials. The Democrats, who were expected to be holding the "joker" in the deck, placed only two names on the ticket for the three councilmanic vacancies. When the Afro-American voters saw there was a vacancy on the ticket they placed the name of Thomas Chapman on the ticket as one of the Republican nominees to fill the three-year vacancy. Chapman is popular, and his supporters turned out in line for him and doubled his votes over those of the highest man on his ticket. He will put up a hard fight at the coming election. SOUTHERN STUDENTS MAKE ROW IN CHICAGO UNIVERSITY Don't Want Afro-American in Snell Hall Dormitory. CHICAGO, October 5.—D. W. Woodard, an Afro-American student, in the freshman class at the University of Chicago, has started a row here by his determination to retain a room in Snell Hall, a university dormitory conducted by the Young Men's Christian Association, but managed financially by the university authorities. He has paid his room rent in advance, for the fall quarter and pays he will not vacate. George Swan, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and in charge of, the dormitory, was delegated by the residents of the hall to ask Woodard to seek another room. Swan is a leader in the attack upon the Afro-American and has the backing of majority, of the student members, among whom are many Southerners. President Judson refused to make a statement of the trouble. Also Deprecated Deeds of the Atlanta Mob. CONYERS, Ga., October 4.—Strong resolutions were passed by the Afro-Americans of Conyers and Rockdale county gathered together in convention, advising their race to be law-abiding citizens and pledging themselves to aid officers of the law in suppressing dens and dives operated and patronized by members of their race. The relations between the two races have been most peaceful and harmonious in Conyers and Rockdale. The mass meeting was generally attended by Afro-American ministers, teachers, mechanics and farmers. The resolutions passed recited their horror of the recent race riots in Atlanta, and deprecated the work of the mob and placed the convention on record as condemning "in the most absolute and positive manner the crimes against women that are alleged to have incited the violence of the mob." Twentieth Anniversary of State Normal Institute. FRANKFORT, Ky., October 31.—Elabo rate arrangements are being made by the representative citizens of this city to entertain Dr. Booker T. Washington on October 15. Business men, farmers and educators from the neighboring towns will be in attendance on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the State Normal Institute of which J. S. Hathaway is president. Dr. Washington will be given a public reception and luncheon, after which he will speak at the opera house at 2 o'clock. A reception committee headed by Dr. E. E. Underwood, editor of The Blue Grass Bugle, will escort the guests in carringes through the city to meet the business men and women. Then they will drive to the new State capital. Extensive preparations were made to give Dr. Washington a banquet, but he was unable to remain over night. The people are awaiting his coming with great enthusiasm. Although he has never been here he has hundreds of admirers in Frankfort. Through the Tuskegee idea the public school board has adopted several forms of the industrial education. FEWS TAKEN TO.ATLANTA UNTIL MOBILE COOLES DOWN In Slightly Wounded by Cuts in Several Places. ATLANTA, October 8.—Henry Fews, the Afro-American, who shot down Will Solomon, Jr., and Charles Adams, Jr., two prominent young men of Macon on Saturday night, was brought to Atlanta yesterday by Macon officers for safe keeping. Accompanied by two officers he left Macon at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and reached Atlanta about 4:30 o'clock. He was carried to the Tower at once and put in a cell. Fews was cut in several places but his wounds are said to be slight. He will probably be kept in Atlanta until all danger from violence in Macon has passed Hopes to Get Indemnment of Birmingham White BIRMINGHAM, Ala., October 6.—Leading Afro-Americans of Birmingham have formed a society for the prevention of crime among their own people.

An invitation is extended to all preachers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and "thoughtful citizens" of the race to become members.

THOMAS J. BELL., Branch Secretary, 252 W. 53d Street Admission 50 cents Reserved Seats 75 cents Box Seats 84 and 86 MONTON, Ala., October 6—An organised committee of 200 masked men, many of them well known, who left Mobile today, hanged two Afro-Americans after taking them from a train on the Southern Railway thirty miles north of here. When the mob held up the train the victim, who were charged with attacking white women in Mobile, were on the way to this city in custody of Sheriff Powers. They had been captured in Birmingham and the news of the Sheriff's departure with the prisoners was wired ahead. One of the prisoners was the cause of the attack which was made on the county jail here a few days ago. In this attack a special officer was killed while defending the fall and a number of men in the mob were wounded. While the attack was in progress, the prisoner was placed on board a train and taken to Birmingham. Another Afro-American, previously caught in Birmingham, and the prisoners who was the cause of the fall attack were turned over to Sherif Powers at 5 a.m. m. He at once boarded the train for Mobile. Two thousand men had met the Louisville and Nashville train here at an earlier hour and were disappointed not to find the Afro-Americans aboard. The special committee was then selected to meet Sherif Powers outside the city. The train on the Southern road had scarcely started from Birmingham when the Mobile committee was' on its way north. When the two trains were within a mile of each other the committee left its train and prepared to Hold up the southbound train. The masked men had only a few seconds to wait. As the train with the prisoners aboard appeared around a curve it was signalled to stop. The engineer brought the train to a stop at the Richardson switch. As soon as the passengers caught sight of the masked men clambering upon the platforms of the cars they were thrown into a panic. Immediately they began to conceal their valuables, but the first men of the committee who entered the car reassured the passengers and explained their errand. Meantime the prisoners, who suspected the purpose of the mob, were cowering in fear on their hands and knees. Sheriff Powers drew a revolver, but the weapon was promptly knocked from his hand and he was held in his seat while the prisoners were dragged into the alley. As the prisoners were led away from the train the passengers joined the mob and took part in the lynching. "Burn them at the stake!" cried several men. The cry was renewed when the mob entered the woods not far from the railroad. Five or six men began to collect sticks and brush for the fire. The leaders of the mob, however, protested and declared that the original plan of banging must be adhered to. The prisoners, one of whom was a boy 17 years old, fell on their knees and begged for mercy. Nooses were placed around their necks without further delay and the ropes were thrown over the branch of a tree. The members of the mob and the passengers joined in dragging the victims into the air. As soon as their work had been finished the committee boarded the train and returned to Mobile. ANOTHER WHITE RIOTER GETS 30 DAYS ON CHAINGANG Han Since Robbed a Man—Wanted to See a Lynching. ATLANTA, October 4.—Fred Shepard, another one of the rioters of Saturday night, September 22, was tried in the recorder's court yesterday morning, sentenced to thirty days in the stockade and held in a $1,000 bond for the State courts. Shepard was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Stipe, one of the new deputies recently appointed by the sheriff. Stipe testified that he saw Shepard in the mob and was looking at him when he boarded a trolley car in front of the Piedmont hotel and struck an Afro-American. "I know Shepard well," stated Stipe, "and he tried to dodge me when he saw me watching him. After he helped beat the Negro he was cut by somebody and was sent to the hospital. He got out a few days ago. Yesterday afternoon I saw him trying to rob a man named W. W. Lampkin, who works for the Crescent News Company. Shepard ran and when I caught him he tried to fight me." THIRD Detectives Lanford and Lockhart stated that they saw Shepard on the night of the riot and advised him to go home. He replied that he would not go home until he had seen an Afro-American lynched. Shepard acknowledged that he had said he wanted to see an Afro-American lynched, but he denied that he attacked any Afro-American in a car. "What about trying to rob that man?" the recorder asked him. "It is not true." was the reply. "The trouble with you, Shepard," the recorder told him, "is that your reputation is against you. You have been arrested several times before. I am going to send you to the city chaining for thirty days without a fine and bind you over in a $1,000 bond for rioting." "Judge, please give me a $100 fine so I can pay out," pleaded the prisoner. "Can't you do it?" "Yes, I can," he was told, "but I won't. You will have to serve out the thirty days."

Failure of the Afro-American Peo- ple to Organize The meeting of the National Afro-American Council, in New York, the current week, brings very sad reflections to the mind of the writer of this article who has given sixteen years of his life and his means to the effort to organize the Afro-American people for their own protection in "all lawful ways, especially in the courts and in the manufacture of healthy public opinion," and who is compelled to admit, while an annual meeting of the Council is in session, that, for all practical purposes, the effort has been a failure. The time and the money, and above all the enthusiasm, in the work have gone for naught, measured by the standard of results, and results are the only things that count in the estimation of mankind in any given effort for good or for evil. We speak but the sad and solemn truth when we declare that while the National Afro-American Council exists, and will continue to exist, it has no organization in the literal sense, it has not the people behind it, because the people do not appreciate the need of organization. A hundred devoted men and women of the highest character and culture, the self-appointed representatives and spokesmen of ten millions of people, who have stood by the League and the Council for sixteen years, through good and evil report, deserve all of the good things that can be said of them. They deserve well of the race and of the American people; but they are and have been and will be a standing approach to and an attestation of the backwardness of the Afro-American people, who have persistently refused to second their efforts by moral or financial support, standing indifferently by while their dearest rights under State and Federal Constitutions have been denied or abridged, without any disposition to organize or to contribute even pennies to protect and defend themselves. God helps those who help themselves, and He leaves it to the devil to help the others. The National Afro-American League was organized at Chicago, January 15, 1900. The convention was one of the largest and most representative Afro-American gatherings in the history of the country. There were brave men and beautiful women in the convention, devotedly loyal and self-sacrificing people who felt the urgent need of effective organization to "protect the best interests of the race by all lawful means and by the creation of healthy public opinion." They were ready to spend and be spent in the work of the League, and they went away from the great city of Chicago bent upon doing what they could to make the League a success. But from the very first they found that the great mass of the Afro-American people did not care for organization and did not respond to their appeals to organize. The writer went up and down the country at his own expense, preaching the gospel of organization. The people came out in large numbers to hear him, and applauded him to the echo, but they contributed practically nothing to the support of the work, often leaving him to pay the travelling expenses, and no organization followed his appeals for organization. When the work of the League, at Chicago, was made public, George William Curtis, in a strong and exhaustive article in Harper's Weekly, declared that if the people would stand behind the League, if they would give it legal support, it would accomplish a great work for the people, but that if they should not sustain it, if they should allow it to fail, it would prove to be the greatest calamity that they will have sustained since the days of slavery. The prophecy of the great orator and journalist has been literally verified. When, after three years, the League had become a cipher, because the mass of the people would not sustain it, and other effort was made to create a new life and interest in the work of organization, and a League meeting was held in the beautiful city of Rochester. It was not numerously attended, but there were plenty of good men and women there, and they changed the name and gave us a new constitution based upon the fundamental principles of the League. But the masses have taken no more active interest in the organization and maintenance of the Council than they did in that of the League. The same hundred that laid the basis of organization at Chicago have stuck to the work, with the exception of a haker's dozen, who went off by themselves because they were not allowed to boss the work when a majority had pronounced against them, and would do it again under like circumstances. But this is of small moment. The distressing thing is that the masses have not seen the wisdom of organization, and have failed to support the League or the Council, and have given no more hearty response to the efforts of the. Niagara Movement people, whose membership, like that of the Council, is made up of about one hundred and fifty intellectual people, loyalty devoted to the best interests of the people, but whom the people will in do we maintain by moral or financial support. The intellectual Afro-American has done what he could to create and maintain the League and Council and the Nagara Movement, but the means of the people have done nothing to create or to sustain either. This is the hold, and truth. And it is the keynote of the whole failure of the race to have even a remnant of its civil and political rights in the Southern States, and it is having its civil and political rights in the Northern and Western States; encroached upon every hour. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The people who will not organise and put themselves under the wisest and best of their leaders and contribute of their means to protect what all men regard as the desarest things under government and in the social order, cannot expect other people to look after their interests or to care a rap about them as men and as citizens. That is what has happened to the Afro-American people in the past sixteen years, and they have themselves and not their foe to blame for it. It is a shame and disgrace that it is so; but it is so, and the mass of the race and not the intellectual part of it is responsible for it. A stream can rise no higher than its source, and a handful of intellectual and devoted people cannot drag an inert, indifferent and stupid mass against its will to its proper place in the civil, political and economic life of the Republic. It must do that of its own free will and effort. The writer honors the brave men and women who have for sixteen years kept alive the spirit of organization, and be deems it an honor to have been able to labor, to spend and to be spent, with them; but he feels that much that has been done has been wasted upon the mass of the Afro-American people, who have not responded to their enthusiasm and devotion and sacrifice; and while he feels the imperative necessity of keeping alive organization, for no other purpose than that of protest, he is sure that we shall continue to lose out in all directions unless the mass can be aroused to its duty, as the intelligent men and women of the race have seen and done it for sixteen years. If this mass cannot be aroused, if it continues to be idifferent to its best interests, if it shall continue to expect others to do for it what it can and should do for itself, then, though the present be dark and unfairbidding, the future will be intolerable to the thoughtful men and women of the race. We have talked enough. Let us act, or stop talking. The Craze for Money. Mrs. John A. Logan thinks that the American people have about reached the end of the wild craze to get rich quick, to become millionaires. We think the craze has just begun. It has not cut its eye tooth as yet. It is still a consuming force in the life of the people of Europe and Asia, having begun when they were in a savage condition, and there are no signs that the end of it is approaching. The chase after great wealth, after enough money to be placed beyond the terrors of daily want, to have more money than the neighbor, began in the first glimmerings of our civilization, and will remain as long as the social conditions remain what they have grown to be out of the confusion of unrestricted competition in the natural resources and in the necessities of mankind. It is just now becoming obvious that unrestricted competition must be restrained by State regulation in the interest of the weak against the strong, in the interest of the poor against the rich. Limitations upon great fortunes and a more equal distribution of the earnings of capital and labor are among the leading issues in this country and in Europe, to the utter subordination of most other questions. It will take a long time to read just matters upon a just basis. The "It" in Politics. We have come upon times when party organization, with well-defined principles, is no longer regarded as the proper thing. The individual with a batch of principles which has come to be designated as "I" has projected himself across the whole horizon of politics. Secretary Taft and Secretary Bonaparte started the bill rolling in opening the Congress campaign by declaring that the whole issue involved was President Roosevelt and his policies. Mr. Bryan was already standing as the "I" of the Democratic party, and stood for it until he opened his month in New York and declared for Federal ownership of railroads, when he practically ceased to be the Democratic "I", although he has not discovered the fact. Whether he will be able to become the Democratic "I" again before the convention meets remains to be seen. But his combustion by tempting fate with a new thing teaches us this valuable lesson that the "I" in politics is a transitory thing and can easily be smashed, if the dear people will have none of it. Mr. Everett Colby projected himself into the Republican politics of New Jersey as the "It." and it looked for a time as if he was, but the people at the primaries knocked the bottom out of him, for the time being, at least. The same thing happened to Mr. Winston Churchill, the novelist, in Newampshire, but in such wise that we shall hear from him again; he wasn't damaged by the outcome, although much damaged by the concussion. The Hon. Joseph W. Folk of Missouri staged in by being the "It" of his Democratic neck of the woods, and had some success in the goof, but he appears to have realized that he is not bigger than his party. In Massachusetts Mr. Butin Moran has captured the Democratic party, what there was of it, on the platform of "I am It." and is running like a crazy man. Where he will turn up when the votes are counted is a horse of another, color. Here, in New York State, party lines have been wiped out entirely by the ubiquitous and obstreperous Mr. William Bendidge Bluest, who describes that he is "It" of the Independent League and the Democratic party, one of which belongs to him and the other of which he captured at Buffalo. He describes that he is the whole thing. He may be. Then the Strategic convention nominated Mr. Charles B. Hughes for Governor to do up Mr. Heart, if he can, and he promptly announced that he was the "It" of the Republican party for the purpose of his campaign. Both Mr. Heart and Mr. Hughes declare that this is a time not to think of parties, but the interests of the dear people, and that in themselves, and not in their platforms, are the interests of the dear people to be found. Party lines have been wiped out, we are told, and every man should vote for the interest of the dear people. Oh, the dear people! How many hypocrisies have been perpetrated in their name! But all of this "It" as the main thing in politics and the alleged-setting aside of parties and bosses indicates that we have come upon a transition stage in politics, when the old parties have lived out their usefulness and must be replaced by new parties. There are too many Republicans in the Democratic party, and too many Democrats in the Republican party. A new line-up is needed. Cuba Betraved by Palma Tomas Estrada Palma, the first President of the Republic of Cuba, and perhaps the last, will go down in history as the man who had the opportunity thrust upon him to do a great service for his country and for mankind, but was unequal to it, and allowed himself and his country to go to smash because he lacked the necessary brain force and moral fiber. It will have to be said of him, however, that he served Cuba long and faithfully in her struggles against the tyranny of Spain, as the representative of the Cuban patriots in the United States. Perhaps he should not be blamed for lacking in the abilities and the courage necessary in a first President of a Republic. It would have been better for Cuba perhaps, if Maximo Gonex, the grand general-in-chief who led the Cuban armies for so many years, had been selected as the first President of the young Republic. His great reputation as a soldier and patriot would have most probably carried the country through its young years of sovereignty and put it on the road to stable government. It was his right to be the first President of Cuba. His services to Cuba were too great to be compared to those of Estrada Palma's. It now transpires that the intercession of the United States in the affairs of Cuba was due to the importunities of President, Palma, as President Roosevelt was not disposed to intervene. But Palma knew that he was despised by the Cuban people, because he had failed to make a good President in his first term, because he had secured his second term by fraud and intimidation and murder of his opponents, making a mockery of popular election, such as we habitually have in our Southern States, and because the uprising against him and his fraudulent administration was a popular one against which he could not prevail. He knew he was despised by the Cuban masses, and he had not the courage to face them in battle, and therefore called upon the American Government to keep him in power. It is probable that the American Government would have done this if Secretary Taft had not found upon investigation that the Palma government was based upon fraud and that Estrada Palma was not the proper man to be at the head of Cuban affairs. Any wise and patriotic man in Palma's place would have gone any lengtha before calling in a foreign power to settle the dispute between him and his people, and when he found that he could not compose the differences he would have accepted the offer to hold office until another election could be held, and thus maintained the sovereignty of the country; but he insisted upon resigning and thus turning the country over to a foreign power, compelling the people to start all over again in the effort at independent national life, which they may now never achieve, for there are strong forces at work to have the island annexed to the United States. Tomas Estrada Palma betrayed Cuba. He will have no satisfaction in going down in history as a traitor to his country, when he had every opportunity to have written himself in history along with Bolivar, T'Ousaint Ouverture and George Washington. Opportunity knocks at every man's door once; it hasn't got time to knock twice. Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were storm swept last week, and there was great loss of life and property. His visitation of Dítec wrath, we thought, could be no more of the imagination be regarded as in some sort a punishment for the exceeding deed at Atlanta. If, however, there could be some association based in probability of the two things we should feel more kindly disposed toward Providence. It is worthy of note, however, that following every outbreak of devilry in the Southern States there is some sort of natural upheaval that destroys some life and a vast ideal of property. --- About their wrongs and do less to have them rights than any other people on the globe. Talk never won a victory. It takes intelligent organization backed by hard cash to accomplish anything. Mr. Edgar Benjamin n' Boston lawyer, and Mr. William Monroe Trettor, a Boston angry editor, got excited when the Atlanta massacre was in full swing and sent President Roosevelt a telegram protesting against the use of Federal troops as instruments of massacre, when the troops were quietly resting on their arms at Fort McPherson and had no hand in the matter whatever. The Federal Government should have power in cases like that at Atlanta to throw troops into the situation and protect best citizens from murder and arrest without warped by the State administration. But those should also be some sort of law to compel the army *African-American* in Egypt from making demands of themselves when they are in the army, and to regain allegiance, this the housing of Federal troops taking part in the Atlanta manners. --- We welcome Rev. William J. White, the grand old George Baptist Man, to this big town. He will and plenty of room to turn around in there and plenty of warm hearts to shake his exile from Augusta bearable. And he can think and talk as he will in New York in defense of the Afr-American people and there will be no need to mollest him or make him afraid. Talk about Russian "granny!" Match this exile of a grand old man from Georgia for his honest by mob of devils countenanced and protected by the legal authorities! And the papers of the exile had no little to say about it editorially that their opinion need not be rated at all. What are we, coming to when such outrages can happen in our country and so little notice be taken of them! --- Mr. H. G. Wells concludes the splendid article on "The Tragedy of Color in America." republished in *The Aon*, last week from *Harper's Weekly*, with the following: "No. I can't help idealizing the dark, submissive figure of the Negro in this spectacle of America. He, too, seems to me, to sit sitting—and waiting with a marvelous and simple-minded patience for her understandings and aookie life." This is beautiful, sad and true. But how he is going to wait and be patient for "her understandings and a nobile time." And he must keep on hustling while he waits. The best and safest way to get killed is to own an automobile or get in the way of one owned by another man. CLASS, NOT RACE HATRED. Animosity Between Poor Whites and African Americans Hereditary. There is no truth in the assertion that the Southern whites as a whole harbor the smallest animosity toward the Negroes as a whole. Going back over the history of the past forty-five years, one fails to discover a single instance of hatred or vengeance on the part of the former slaves in confection with their former owners. During the civil war, at a time when the great proprietors, together with their sons and kinmen, were absent, fighting in the armies of the Confederacy, the slave remained upon the plantations; worked for the women and children of their vanished man pursued their accustomed voyages without a thought of change, and were found there, after all was over, faithful, reverent, affectionate as they had ever been throughout the old regime of slavery. In all that 'darks and dreadful time no black man's hand had once been raised against the helpless inmates of the 'big house' against 'the miss' or 'young miss', or any one else to whom the slave had been attached by any tie of gratitude. So far from that, the Negroes stood by those men had been taught to love, admire, and am the mother, wife, daughter of the slaves who had gone to war was as secure in their keeping as though the ancient institution were in full force and the ancient safeguards as real as ever. The sinister and abhorrent era of reconstruction was crowded with evils of which the 'Negroes' were the credulous and ignorant tools. Acting under the advice of their political leaders, they gave impetus and sanction to every scheme of plunder and desolation devised by the rapacious white adventurers who played the chishulian vanities and superstitions, but not disturbed the old relations of good will between the former owners and the former shaves; nothing diluted the loving loyalty of the latter so far as concerned their purely personal attitude and conduct. Our information is to the effect that what has changed from that day to this. We are told that on thousands of estates in the South the survivors of the proprietary class and the survivors of the enslaved class are still dwelling together upon terms of perfect understanding. There is the old sympathy, mutual helpfulness and affection, the old devotion and loyalty, the old kindness on one side and admiration on the other. That there is a class animosity of peculiar and perhaps increasing virulence we are bound to admit; but we believe also that it is a legacy from ante bellum days and that its significance is no greater now that it was in the beginning. The slaves of sixty years ago were taught by their masters, directly or indirectly, to despise slave traders, overseers, "drivers" and the like. Their survivors and descendants have been further afflicted by the tradition. We are persuaded that the relations at the South are born of this ancient canker and intensified by the growth of the elements which furnish it with vitality. Of course it does not mitigate the horrors enacted at the South, and apparently increasing in frequency, to accept the considerations we have here presented, a class immunity is not as daunting a momen to society as is race hatred pure and simple. SUCH IDIOCY! The following telegram explains itself "To His Excellency, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Oyster Bay, N. Y.: In reference to the massacre of color people, citizens of the United States at Alameda, and in connection with which United States troops have been called out, giving you an opportunity to intervene, press dispatches state that the colored citizens, armed for defence of their homes and families, are being arrested and even shot by United States troops for hearing arms or refusing to give them up. Such a monstrous proposition has attempted even in Russia against the Jeeves that this has Federal sanction, with you as Commander-in-Chief of the United States forces? "EOGAR P. BENJAMIN, "WILLIAM MORGAN TROTTER." Thank You. N. H. M. Marks' Mirror. It gives pleas to commend to command the consideration of people, especially those who do not subscribe for it.

Higgins and the other Republican candidates were formally notified at the Republican club in West 40th street of the City of Boston on the action of W. W. Amstrom, an spokesman at the law firm of the entire State Committee, including of course, Hon. Charles W. Anderson. Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance follows: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the notification committee: Highly appreciating the honor you have conferred and realizing keenly the responsibility to be assumed, I accept, the nomination. As a lifelong Republican, as one loyal to the principles and best traditions of the party, I respond to the unanimous call of the convention. Republicanism when I promise to administer the affairs of the State in the interest of all its citizens. I recognize the exigency which has made us the trustees of the conscience and sober sentiment of the people of the State and has-charged us with the duty of leadership in a context for decent government. To this context, humble consideration of my own institutions, and the degree of the respect I commit myself heart and soul without doubt as to the result. We enter upon the campaign inspired by the example and fortified by the achievements of our great leader, Theodore Roosevelt. The National administration, with its record of established reforms, has strengthened its hold upon the states and has increased its mental powers for investigation and protection have been freely used to end the abuses and discrimination which have afflicted interstate commerce, to break up unlawful combinations and to enforce the provisions of the Anti-Trust act. The activities of Congress in the interest of all the people have been realized by the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the Inspection act, the Pure Food act and the Employers' Liability act. In referring to this record of the Federal administration, I should not be understood to imply that this is a campaign of National issues. The paramount issues in this campaign are State issues. But in the matters which I have mentioned we find a notable record of achievement which presents a striking contrast to the noisy pretensions of the hour. State Reform Two. Our State administration has also accomplished many genius efforts. The gas market is monopoly of New York city has been subjected to important investigation and a statute has been passed fixing the rate to private consumers at $20 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. While this act has been attacked and the claim of the companies that the rate is so low as to amount, to confiscation is before the Federal courts for determination, the State has done all that it can do constitutionally to give the residents of this city cheaper gas. The state has prohibited from contributing to political campaign funds. The law as to perjury has been made more stringent. Corrupt lobbying has been made more difficult and the honorable presentation of argument relating to legislative measures has been promoted by a statute compelling the registration of persons appearing and the filing of statements of compensation paid. Good roads have been provided for. An act has been passed extending the liability of railroad for personal injuries suffered by employees. The liquor license law has been amended so as to abolish the inquiries which had grown up in connection with the so-called Raines law hotel. The business of life insurance, of vital consequence and of our homes, has been ended of its abuses and placed in restrictions conserving the interests of policyholders. Our great life insurance companies, which were mutual in theory, have been made so in fact, and the policyholders have been given free opportunity to elect their representatives. And in connection with the proceedings which led to these legislative measures the attention of the country has been directed to correct standards of business morality, and the conscience of the people has been aroused to a more insistent-demand for the strict discharge of fiduciary obligation and for honesty in public affairs. It is proper that we should rejoice, and we do frankly rejoice, that while these reforms had the support of the sentiment of the State, they were accomplished under the Republican administration. And apart from his official relation to the legislation to which I have referred, it is with special pleasure that I refer to the, cordial support of which I was constantly made aware during the gas and insurance investigations on the part of Gov. Frank W. Hughes. What we find in opposition to us? A masquerade. An Independence League whose independence has been betrayed, and a so-called but spurious Democratic party which has violated every principle of Democratic government. No one can deny us the right to pay just tribute to "Jerersonian Democrats" or to "Lincoln Republicans." Our contest is not with them, and the candidates opposed to us are not of them. Vain is it for our opponents to parade in the livery of virtue. Empty are their professions and hollow their declarations and purposes. If you would know the sort of administration we should have in the event of their success, look at the Buffalo convention, for there you will find their motives and their methods mirrored—their motive, selfishness, and their method, intrigue. We test the sincerity of their assertion of independence by their efforts to procure the Democratic nomination. We test the sincerity of their denunciation of bosses by their deals with bosses. We test the sincerity of their appeals to American ideals by their despotic proceedings. We test the sincerity of their attacks upon the use of money in politics by their use of money in politics. We test the sincerity of their devotion to the interests of the people by their effort to foment disorder and exploit ignorance in the interest of selfish ambition. The Supreme Issue. What, then, is the issue of this campaign? It is not an issue of the Republican record. It is not an issue of Republican principles or of Democratic principiat. It is not a position issue of all. It is the vital issue of decent government. It is an issue which shall array on one side all loaths of truth, of morality and of honest reform, be they Republicans, Democrats or independents. The question is whether the unholy alliance of the Buffalo shall capture the State of New York. Loyal, then, as we are to the Republican party, we stand to-tight upon a broader platform, claiming as a right the support of all good citizens. For while we are Republicans, we are citizens first, and in this campaign we stand for the honor of the State. In my message to the convention I stated that the United States must mobilize to give the State "a sure efficient and honorable administration, free from taint of boastism or of servitude to any private interest." my position in a minister. It will not unobscene administration. I believe in party or other efficient organisation. I promise all members of the party fair treatment and just consideration. No individual or group of individuals and no private interest will be permitted to dictate my policy. I shall decide and act according to my conscience and as I believe the public interest requires. I promise an honest administration. It will not be necessary for any one to pay one cent to defeat what is called "strike" legislation. There will be no excuse for the improper expenditure of money upon that ground. On the other hand, so far as in me lies, every effort to obstruct just and impartial administration or to procure legislation or departmental action for the benefit of the public in opposition to the public welfare or to prevent action or legislation which the people should have will be exposed and frustrated. No Favorites. No interest, however prominent, will receive any consideration except that to which upon the merits of the case it may be entitled when viewed in the light of the supreme interest of the people. It will be my aim to make the administration of the government efficient and economical. I am not committed to specific measures. I promise an examination of our efforts within the scope of my authority and such action as my honest judgment shall approve. I am deeply interested in all efforts to better the condition of our workingmen. Every practical measure for the real benefit of labor will have my cordial support. It would be difficult to point to a more important field of legislation than that illustrated by the acts relating to tenant houses, to sweat shops, to child labor, to hours of labor. These important contributions to the cause and their provisions should be effectively administered. I believe in the thorough enforcement of the labor laws, and shall favor such appropriations and such equipment as will admit of their proper execution. I shall spare no effort to make effective the reforms in the business of life insurance so essential to the interests of policymakers. I shall enforce the law with equal severity and in equal justice to all, rich and poor, corporation, and individuals: We are all members of one body politic. We could not separate our interests if we tried. We desire to preserve the opportunities for individual initiative and the rewards of ability, industry and integrity. We desire to protect our Government, with its guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and to combine of persons to promote a selfish interest at the expense of the other members of the community. We desire to enforce the laws we have and to enact such additional laws as may be required to secure equal privileges and opportunities and to prevent any one person or class of persons from being made the victim of oppression. We believe in open discussion and responsible criticism. But efforts to make discontent self-serving are not possible. We desire the good and to exaggerate the evil, are subservicive of our free institutions and tend to anarchy. We make our appeal to the common sense of the American people, which has never failed to express itself decisively in a great crisis. We are pledged to achieve reforms in the American manner in accordance with the genius of our institutions and with love of truth and even-handed justice. It is in this spirit and with these pledges alone that I accept the nomination. Something Wrong With America. Bishop Grant on the Atlanta Massacre "Every decent colored man in the country is in favor of making law as rigid as possible and the enforcement of the same. It is an angry and lawlessness that we fear. It is difficult for some of us to believe that all the cases being reported are true; if so American civilization is in some way at fault. "White on Bermuda Islands" I learned that there were 10,000 Negroes and 5,000 whites in that small country and no one had ever heard of the unmentionable crimes so often reported in our country, being convicted, nor had a lynching ever taken place. In Harbards there were 117,000 Negroes and 17,000 whites and at Freetown, Sierra Leone on the west coast of Africa, are 20,000 civilized natives and 1,000 whites; and what is true of the Bermudians is also true of Harbards and Freetown. Now, if under American civilization, the Negro is worse than under any other, kindly tell me who is responsible. However, be that what I am with the Negro to agitate and intensify the feeling, for I I click too much of what has been done already. I believe the speeches made in Georgia and the abuse induced in by the speakers with reference to the disfur­rentment of the Negro in the last twelve months have had much to do with preparing the platepoints for the conduct of Saturday evening. Learned Tactics from Zulus. From The Washington Record. The New York Times says that the British Army adopted a peculiar form of military movement, employed by the Zulus in Africa. It is called the "Crescent Formation" and was used with success by the British in one of their military campaigns. It is of purely African originality. Wanted directions. Captain—"Do you see that captain on the bridge are miles away?" Tar—"Ay, ay, sir." Captain—"Let him have one of those 12-inch shells in the eye." Taro—"Which eye, sir?" Desert News. With the launching of the the season of 1969, well-wishers for the crew of the Afro-American on the should be greatly encouraged so far outlook for Afro-American actors is cerned. More large show companies, dark of lighted Thespian, work on the road this season than ever be in the history of theatricals. The sum total of Afro-American show doing business this season is six, excluding many smaller companion. Of the above number two of the organizations are new comers. They are Cole and Johnson and the Dandy Dixie Minatrel. Ernest Hogan, Williams and Winker, the Smart Set and Black Pattil are the four large shows already in the field. --- Ernest Hogan and "Rufus Rastray" Company are enjoying much prosperity this season. Having first-class booking and carrying a good show, the company is not having much trouble playing to large houses wherever it goes. The critics are a unit in praising the musical numbers, especially the chorus work. Among those who assist materially are Abbie Mitchell, Sallie Byrd Green, Laura Mose, Henry Troy, Frank Brown, Herbert Sutton, Charles Foster, Alice Mackey, Georgia Harvey, the Housley brothers and many others. Critics are very flattering in their praises of the comedy work of Erd Hogan. *Carita Day, who is being given the sobriquet of "Miss Beautiful," creedably bills the role of leading lady, as duing last season.* It will be gratifying to New Yorkers to learn that Al Johns is acting the role of Bealey, the head waiter, as if he had been a performer before this season. Up to date his work has been of high order. Many new songs have been interpolated in the piece this season, the lyrics of which were written by Lester A. Walton, a former St. Louis newspaper man, now with the show and representing Mr. Hogan's business interests. Mr. Hogan composed all the music this season. Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman is musical director. One of the coming comedians in Afro-American, staggedum is S. H. Dudley, leading comedian of the Smart Set company. This season he opened with a new piece especially written for him called "The Black Politician." It is "going big," to use the vernacular of the stage, and after a number of the situations are brightened and a number of the lines condensed—something necessary in most new phryx—it will be a winner. 1 John Rucker, the "Alabama Blossom", is starring this season in the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, having parted company with Black Patti. He will do all the starring himself. The show is down, South where it is drawing crowded houses. Cole and Johnson, that artistic team known in the United States and abroad for their song writing as well as vaudeville act, have a large company on the road this season. They are starring in a clever piece, teeming with pretty music, entitled "The Shoo-Fly Regiment." In the book the writers have injected some serious lines involving the race question which call for the exercise of the ability to part of some of the members in the cast. Cole and Johnson are under the management of Raymond. The company has been touring the South. Black Patti is on her annual successful tour in the South. John Larkins is doing her comedy this season. There is no doubt that the Black Patti company is a money maker, especially when in the South. It is certain, however, that if her managers would put more money out for scenery and costumes they would draw better in some sections of the country. While, Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan are doing all in their power to make their shows go from a scenic standpoint, very little attention is paid to such details by the Black Patti managers. THE HUMORIST. "Walt a minute till I get my clothes off" came a shrill voice from the back end of the cable car. All the strap-holders turned their heads as one man. It was a small boy striving to drag off the hamper containing his mother's washing. —Judge. A very mild North of England vicar has for some time been faced with the quality of the milk served him. At length he determined to remonstrate with his milkman for supplying such weak stuff. He began mildly: "I've been waiting to see you in regard to the quality of milk which you are serving me." "Yes, sir," unceasingly answered the tradesman. "I only wanted to say," continued the minister. "that I use the milk for dietary purposes exclusively, and not for christening." —Tit-Bite. When Governor Head was in office in New Hampshire, Colonel Barrett, of the Governor's staff, died, and there was an unseemly scramble for the office even when his body was awaiting burial with military honors. One candidate ventured to call upon Governor Head, "Governor," he asked, "do you think you would have any objections as has the Colonel Barrett's place." The answer came promptly. "No, I don't think I should have any objections, if the undertaker is willing." **Agonant** Senator Platt, on his seventy-third birthday, was being congratulated by some reporters at the Oriental Hotel at Manhattan Beach. "Life," said the Senator, "is a fleeting thing. The longest life passes like a dream. Nothing is so amazing, so bewildering, as time's swift flight." He smiled, "imagine," he said, "how impressed we were with time" slighted old Henry Skerry, then those times from his family a year after his marriage. That was about 1880, and a few months ago, taking up a local paper in Chicago, the deserter read in the personal column: "If Henry Skerry, who twenty-three years ago deserted his poor wife and babe, will return home, said babe will be glad to knock the stooling out of him."—New York Tribune Mrs. Goodkind "So you are an engineer, and can't get a job in this town!

Waller. Great Fight for Grandmastership Ends in Victory of W. L. Houston BACKMONT, Va. October 8.—The large gathering of Odd Fellows ever held in America was the 13th Biennial Movable Convention of that organization which was in session here last week. The body was a truly representative one and embodying the numbers some of the brainstorm and best minds of the industry. There were fully 2,500 delegates and visitors in the city and they were all comfortably housed and cared for. During their stay of a week, although they were to be seen everywhere on the streets, there was not a single case of disorderly conduct or any breach of the peace reported. The police were made diligent inquiry of the police authorities to ascertain if any arrest had been made, and Major Werner, chief of police, replied to all inquiries that the convention was the most orderly that has assembled in this city during his long connection with the police department, and that he had been thoroughly stood at the convention hall had reported "nothing doing" to demand their presence. Every State and Territory in the Union where there is an appreciable number of Afro-Americans was represented in the convention and there were also delegates from the District of Columbia, the West Indies and Hawaii. The other team stood to vie the one with the other in the general make-up and calibre of its delegations; Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania being in the front rank, with Virginia following. The Illinois delegation, eighteen all told, were a whole team in themselves. They were domiciled at Hotel Miller and with their Foreman, Robert Moriarty, Chicago in support of the delegation. The other gentlemen composing the delegation were George T. Kercay, chairman, Captain Robert T. Hattiele, L. B. Anderson, C. Hughes, C. E. Messer, J. W. Ward, Charles H. Claiborne, C. E. Bond, Robert W. Lacy, Charles S. Smith, William H. Jackson, W. T. Goode, A. O. Anderson, C. F. Messer, J. W. Ward, F. H. Artis. Included with this delegation was the Hon. Gabriel Jones of Indianapolis. The New York delegation was quartered with Captain William Isaac Johnson. There were several ladies of the House hold with the delegation. The delegation was as follows: W. David Brown Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, M. and Ed. J. Johnson, Robert Wilson, eph p. Smith, James F. Adair, Samuel E. De Friese, James G. Adair, Samuel A. Gressam, E. T. Sherwood, J. A. Cambridge, John Green, W. J. McLane, C. S. Lewis, Harry Edwards, Fred. Savage, General Henry Forrest, Charles S. Lewis, Thomas Brooks, John Thompson, John B. Mosceles, John B. Taylor, W. H. Myers, E. W. Ramsey, P. W. Johnson, J. Thomas Johnston, Howard V. Frye, John A. Robinson, Rev. W. L. Butler, Henry Cole, Robert D. Brown, Henderson Brown, Captain John W. Williams, Captain John J. Majors, Anthony H. Robinson, Arthur Boyd, Andrew T. Willis, Slindrack Harris, Major J. Willis, James F. Adair, Hon. J. C. Ashurst, James T. Needham, Charles F. Brooks and J. Grant Wilimna were among the Pennsylvanians. The first mission of the body was called to order Tuesday morning by Grand Master J. McHenry Jones of West Virginia. The invocation was by the Rev. L. L. Downing, ex-deptary grand master, Gov. George W. McCarthy, and been invited to deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the State, was not in the city. W. W. Fields, master of ceremonies, then presented Captain Carlton McCarthy, Mayor of the city of Richmond, and in a most happy speech in which he spoke of the sterling qualities of His Honor his worth to the community, a conscientious official and a Christian gentleman. Mayor McCarthy began his very excellent speech by saying he appreciated from the very depth of his heart the kind words of introduction. He emphasized the fact that he did not feel as a stranger among the people of Richmond, and that he all his life. He said the Afro-American people of Richmond were respectable and respected by and obedient to the authorities and the laws. He said the white people of Richmond were the friends of the Afro-American people, the statement that they were the people of the cordial relations which existed between the two races here. He said he would like to see the Afro-American people of Virginia hold a big convention for the purpose of expressing their confidence in the white people of the Commonwealth. His speech was to conclude the great convention arose cumms and cheered lustily for the mayor. B. J. Davies of The Atlanta Independent responded in an eloquent speech, in which he said the racial idea was racial unity, and that Afro-American needs not run from that doctrine, as someone or later they would. He said the Afro-American helping himself and not depending upon others to help him, "Jim Crow" laws and disfranchisements, he claimed, could not keep the AfroAmerican down nor limit his sphere of usefulness, or his possibilities, nor stunt his growth. Speaking of the personality of the body, he said, "The Afro-American possibilities of American manhood and character, and that in it was represented that class of citizens that had made Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan the ideals of American hearts and the terror of graft and corporate greed. "Oprate and revolut" about the race's wrong and grievances, politically and then so hope and do nothing. The Rev. R. Beecher Taylor, secretary of the local committee of arrangements, made the address of welcome on behalf of the home lodges, in which the extended hearty welcome was made. The Ribbons was responded to by Deputy Grand Master George B. George of Minneapolis is an exciting gavel filled with emotion and great acknowledgment of the welcome he heartily extended. Mr. Oelia Smith, M. N. G., made an address of welcome in behalf of the Household of Bath and presented a beautifully designed gavel and address she said that the households, which meant the housekeeper, would see that the visitors' stay in Richmond would be as pleasurable and as homelike as it was possible for the good housewives of Richmond to make it. An historic gavel was presented to the Governor's Gavel of New Orleans, and was accepted by the Grand Master in a most felicitous speech. No man in the B. M. C. received a greater ovation that did Past Grand Master William M. T. Forrester when he was introduced to present the keys of the city. The body rose en masse, cheering heartily, and led by Grand Master Jones, with "hip, hip, hurrah," sang with a will that made the wellkin ring, "He's a Hearty Oak Cake Mr. Forrester," for fourteen consecutive years the grandter of the order, and here in Richmond, is beloved and esteemed for his devotion to the order and his Christian character and worth. In a speech, ornate with beautiful English and eloquence, W. L. Houston of Washington, on behalf of the body, accepted the keys and the gavels—essentials, as he said, to the successful conduct of the business of the B. M. C. The Rev. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg was to have responded to the address of the Governor, but that official was not present, and the loud calls for Rev. Jones, and in a most eloquent speech he made reference to the cordial welcome which the good citizens of Richmond had extended to the visitors. In response to repeated calls for a speech from the Grand Master, he made a few remarks, touching upon the good behavior and conduct which should obtain during the stay of the delegate and visit in Richmond. There were calls for Hon. E. H. Morris, but he refrained from making any extended remarks, saying that enough had already been said. The evidence of credentials was then appointed and the first session adjourned. Previous to adjournment, A. W. Hawkins and Charles H. Smith, of Ohio, were elected secretaries of the convention, and J. Thomas Turner of Tennessee, was appointed official st-mographer. The second day's session was a closed one. The various committees were appointed. The address of the Grand Master was delivered. It contained many valuable insights into common life and dwelt at length upon financial and financial of the brotherhood. He said that the erection of headquarters in Philadelphia had been fixed at $120,000. The number of dispositions issued to lodges, households and other branches had reached 1,520, showing that the order had doubled from 1,000 to 1,520, approved of the establishment of a National bureau of endowment, where no State has a compulsory endowment in operation, so if desired by any lodge. He stated that he had received a letter from Secretary Willis, of England, touching the conditions of the movement in England, which he (the grand master) approved of in America, as it was his opinion that it would bring about a common understanding among them, who need as a race, more than any one other thing, union—union in business, in charity and in the race for life. He also noted that he was not willing plan for fraternal union, for the good of all concerned. The report of Grand Secretary James T. Neelham showed 4,443 lodges enrolled; households, 2,836; P. G. M. councils, 274; juvenile societies, 305; patriarchies, 142; district grand lodges, 29; district members of members in all branches, 285,931. The report of Grand Treasurer R. M. Smith tallied with that of the Grand Secretary as to finances, etc. The report of Editor J. C. Ashbury of The Odd Fellows Journal, showed that there had been received from all sources $3,000 and is in a most healthy condition. The Grand Auditor's report showed the valuation of the order to be $99,697.99. The fourth day's session was devoted to propositions. Those referring to fines, publishing of delinquent members and appointment of a committee of five to work with like committees from other secretaries. The following propositions supported by Hon. E. H. Morris, were adopted: "The S. C. of M. to be a board of nine, the S. C. of five hereafter; a likeness of all ex-org master, grand secretaries and grand treasurers be painted and hung in the new building of the order at Philadelphia; no brother shall be permitted to hold an office on the S. C. in and in the district of Philadelphia; meetings be held on the second Monday in September instead of first Monday in October, as herefore: the Grand Patriarchy, the Past Grand Master's Conference and the Grand Household of Rath all meet in the same city during the same week of the meeting of the B. M. C.; patriarchies to be organized into registrants to promote the military features." The following proposition, supported by B. M. C., is adopted: "Any judge that shall wiffully fail or refuse to try a brother when a charge has been preferred against him, shall be deemed an accessory after the fact." The fifth day's session was devoted to the hearing of reports of committees, the election of officers, etc. The report of the committee on the address of the Grand Master, the master of administration of the office during his four years of service. The report also recommended as a token of our esteem for his worth a collar to cost $100 to be ordered for him. Unanimously adopted. The Committee on Friendly Societies to the committees from other societies were named as follows: J. McHenry Jones, West Virginia; Ed. H. Morris, Illinois; R. M. Smith, Virginia; E. P. Jones, Mississippi; and John C. Ashbury, Pennsylvania. It took from two o'clock P. M. Friday till past three o'clock afternoon the selection of officers, and then that was only accomplished through a compromise. There is no question that "the South was in the maddle," so far as numbers were concerned, but the handling of the whip and the reins the delegates knew not. They had no leader of diplomacy, political skill and executive ability, and were not generaled by being organized. The supporters of W. L. Houston, the candidate of the North and then, and parts of the West were thoroughly organized. What they included in numbers they made up in skill. They had come to Richmond to stay over Sunday, if necessary, to assemble their purpose, the defeat of M. P. Jones of Minnesota. Their plans were laid long before they reached Richmond and so were matters. Instead of having each of them separately, it was decided that a blanket battle will allow including the sub-committee of management. This ballot each delegate had to prepare for himself and vote it once rose when his lodge name and number was called. No proxies were allowed, each delegate being required to be present to cast his own vote. This plan so confused and tired out the Jones men that shortly before three o'clock Saturday afternoon those who still remained in the city were willing to join the attack. The enemy then lacked one-third of being completed. The compromises resulted in the selection of the following officers: W. L. Houston, of Washington, D. C., grand master; L. N. Parker, Little Rock, Ark., deputy grand master; James T. Needham, Philadelphia, Pa., grand secretary; B. J. Davis, Atlanta, Ga., grand executive. Directors—George H. Maya, Jacksonville, Fla.; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore, Md.; A. T. Shirley, Herndon, Va.; T. P. Woodland, New Orleans, La.; W. W. Lawrence, Newborn N. C. Auditors—John C. Des Verney, New York; H. C. Bell, Denton, Texas. They also mentioned the citizens, both white and colored, for the pleasant way in which they treated them on every hand; to the railroads for reduction of the railway fares; to listing the proceedings and giving them space in its columns, and to J. Thomas Turner for furnishing the news. The B. M. C. decided by a unanimous vote to elect Rev. E. P. Jones, of Mississippi, as a fraternal delegate to the English Grand Lodge, which meets next year, to represent the American body of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and to extend its greetings. The next place of meeting of the R. M. C. was held by the second Monday in September, 1907. The meeting closed with having the honor of being the largest ever held by the order during its existence. To the general public the most interesting feature of the meeting was the parade of the patriarchies and blue lodges. It was beyond doubt the most magnificent pageant of its kind ever seen in Richmond. We have had Pythians, emperors Patriarchs of the Church, a blue parade our streets were, but never has there been one to equal that of the one of last week. It was simply magnificent. Captain Charles W. Young was chief marshal. After parading the principal streets the line moved to Broad Street Park, where the Rev. L. L. Bowing of Roanoke delivered the oration. There was to have been a competitive rival between the Rev. L. L. Bowing and the Newport News patriarchie was the only one to enter. There were many social features in connection with the meeting. Monday night a banquet was tendered the visitors in the convention hall. The reception in honor of visitors who have friends and relatives in the city. The visitors, thronged the business houses and schools here conducted by Afro-Americans and seemed well pleased with the progressive spirit of our people. General Robert Smalls, the chairman of the committee who called upon the Mayor to tender him the thanks of the B. M. C. for his very able address before that body. Hon. J. C. Daucy, Hon. Harry Cummings of Baltimore, Col. J. H. Deveaux of South Carolina and Hon. Gabriel Jones of Indianapolis were among a few who attended the convention. Mr. Murray Fox of Atlantic City, formerly of Richmond, was also a delegate. Mr. Fox was one of the panel of thirteen Afro-Americans who were drawn to try Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America. S. Grant Williams, vice mayor of Philadelphia Triangle, Clinton, Jr., editor of The American Herald, Philadelphia, were also delegates. Hon. J.C. Adorney, Milton S. Davis and Mr. Young of the *Old Fellows* Journal are to be congratulated for the successful conduct of a daily edition of their paper during the sessions of the convention. These gentlemen were ably assisted by Mrs. Lillian A. Payne, business manager of the *St. Lukie Herald*, in whose office the paper was made up and printed. Mr. Young of St. Luke筛 the newspaper man for the Afro-American press of Richmond and associate editor of the *Negro Criterion*, also rendered valuable services for *The Journal* during the week. WASHINGTON'S PRUDENCE. From the Vivekandan (1973) Lecturer, Booker T. Washington's comment upon the race riots at Atlanta has been char- acterized by his usual sinality, prudence and broad wisdom. He connels his own power to keep himself out of the civil and moral law. He urges the best Negroes to do all in their power to cooperate with the best whites in the interests of order and good will. His ap- pology for the riots is that any possible warning from a man less respected, less trusted or less able. All this is what might have been expected. It is in perfect accord with Washington's example and teachings aplid the whole influence of his monumental work for the Negroes of America. The Nation owes a debt to that guide, leader and uplifter of his people which best way to acknowledge it is to encharge the usefulness and increase the resources of Tuskegee Institute. The bigger that educational center of Negro life grows the heavier the pressure upon its means become. If its endowment were multiplied tenfold it would still have urgent need of more money. Booker Washington could be trusted to see that every dollar did the best possible service for the general good of the country as well. The hope of a real solution of the race problem lies in such promise as Tuskegee affords of the advancement and settlement of the American Negro. COMING RACE WAR-TILLMAN He says, and Afro-Americans Are Learning to Shoot—Hits White Libertines AUGUSTA, Ga., October 7.—In a characteristic speech to 4,000 people, by whom he was cheered, Senator Tillman of South Carolina here today declared that the South was on the verge of a great race will He did: “There are some people who say that a race problem settles itself, but I make the prediction that in less than ten years, I fear in less than five, there will be a great number of bloody race plots North and South, beside which the Atlanta riot will pile up.” I lay down the following proposition, which cannot be disputed: "First—White men of the South are united and determined as never before to maintain white supremacy, politically and socially, in every part of every Southern State. "Second—Negroes were never more intent on contesting, in every way that they dare, this position of the whites, the Re- National Government aiding and abetting the whites. "Third—Race hatred in every form is growing in intensity in both races. "Fourth—Lynching for criminal assault will continue as long as crime is committed. The escape of the guilty inflames whites, precipitates riots and causes innocent Negroes to suffer. "Fifth—Amalgination is the hope and ultimate purpose of the Negroes. White men are rendering their great aid in this fight, with Negro women. The line, must be drawn jointly between black men and Negro women as between black men and white women. "Sixth"—The burning issue is how to prevent and not to avert criminal assault, and lynching has failed. The superior race should protect many millions of grown from false teachers and bad leaders in the community, the whites to despair that means a race war that can only result in the destruction of the weaker race." After considerlng every conceivable plan for the protection of white women against Afro-American assailants he concluded that the war is the correct way. This plain is the establishing of a French system of passport, coupled with a large increase in officers of the law. He referred to the roving class of Afro-Americans claiming to be workmen at saw mills, on railroad gangs, etc., who are alienated, the most depraved character: "Worldless men in race-case these are creatures who are deflowering our women and precipitating riots." He declared the only place for these was among Northernners whose scheme of reconstruction produced events. He declared that if all were shot the wild beast should the country would be better off, but that the country would not be able to unable to produce passports they should be placed on chain games until reformed, or leave the country. He said no further concessions should be made to various objectives, for "we must cease to ponder, else we will soon be forced to go to shooting. And Negroes, too, will begin to kill who they begin to believe that color of the warrants warrant regardless of good behavior." He declared that the white men of the South should go ahead and do what they believed was right in this matter regardless "of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell." Losing romance were pictures of the horrors of miscognition, to which he affirmed the country is surely coming unless conditions are changed. A SOUTHERN THREAT Supreme Court Decision Against Disfranchisement Would It Defeated. From The Charleston (S.C.) News and Counter. The National Convention of the Afro-American Council is to be held in New York on Monday, April 16, 2014, former Governor Frank S. Black, Corporation John J. Delaney and Owald Garrison Villard of The New York Evening Post have consented to be the principal speakers on behalf of the white race at this meeting of the Council. One of the special subjects which will receive attention by John J. Delaney is a proposition to raise $100,000 to employ the United States Supreme Court involving the legality of the disfranchisement laws of the Southern States. Here it is again. Our Northern friends will not permit the race question to be settled in the South. They continue to agitate the political rights of the Negro. The same spirit of interference which made the race question, as we have known it in the South for forty years, possible is the spirit which governs the conduct of the black people. Nor will it not be constrained that the Negro is only a white man with a black skin. We trust that the Afro-American Council will find no difficulty in raising $100,000 to make the test case which it has in view, and that the test case will be made. If it be determined in favor of the contention of the Afro-American Council and its advisers it will not be accepted by the white people of the South as the final settlement of the question. The Council will also resist for the preservation of their own lives and fortunes it shall be rendered necessary. The white people have made up their minds that they will not submit to Negro domination. That is the conclusion of the whole matter. The young man stumped, picked up a coin from the floor of the streetcar, examined it attentively, and then, "Has anybody lost a five-dollar gold piece?" he called in a loud voice. Instantly the solemn man at the other end of the car strode forward. "Yes, I've lost a five-dollar gold piece." He said, "specially holding out my hand." "Well," the young man giving him the coin, "I'm sorry for you. Here's five cents toward making good your loss."—Woman's Home Companion. ATLANTA, October 4.—No event in the social world in a long time has been looked forward to with no much interest and expectancy as the recent antilogue of Mr. Joseph Douglas, the famous violinist of Washington, D. C., and Miss Fan Howard, one of the most accomplished musicians of the late century, set social circle. It was just about a year ago that Mr. Douglas found Atlanta more than ordinarily adapted to his taste as a place of solitude and has been several months in this city. A great deal of this time was consumed in the company, of pretty Miss Howard, and it was not long before it was apparent to observers that young people were very devoted to the joy of solitude, to stay, which seemed all too short for Mr. Douglas, he returned to take up his concert tours. Miss Howard resumed her studies in music at Oberlin. Along the June time came Miss Howard looking more charming than even she had before. It was not long thereafter before Mr. Douglas wended his steps this way. It all culminated in a pretty home wedding on Wednesday night, September 26 at the Summit avenue. The ceremony was sollenized in the presence of about fifty of the relatives and friends of the two young contracting parties at six o'clock. It was followed by a delicious bridal buffet lunch, after which the young couple in a hall of rice left their home for the station, leaving at eleven o'clock for Chattanooga, where after the short stay it split other care for the moon, finally returning to Washington, where it is understood they will reside permanently. Mr. Douglas is a well-known violinist virtuoso and has made a National reputation, standing at the very head of his profession. Mrs. Douglas is the daughter of David T. Howard, Sr., one of the most substantial and permanent business men of the city, being senior member of the undertaking firm of David T. Howard & Son, undertakers. Aside from being pretty, she is, very accomplished, a talented and keen spiritual courses at Oherlin. It is also conceded, that Mr. Douglas could not have been more fortunate than when he won the heart of Fannie May Howard. The bride was attired in an imported band-made Battenburg lace robe over ivory silk, her veil being tied with orange blossoms. The attendants were Dr. S. S. Phillips and Miss Julia C. Howard, the charming sister of the bride, who were pink crope de chine over silk with pearl ornaments and dress trimming. The wedding march was rendered by Miss Elizabeth, accompanied by Mr. A. Graves. The bride has been very beautifully decorated in the inside with ferns, palms and flowers and on all sides was an air of happiness. The ceremony was performed by the Right Rev. Bishop W. J. Gaines in a most impressive manner. Among the guests were the Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of Biz Bethel church; Mr. and Mrs. George White and Miss Alice Ruth White, Miss Mary L. Gaines, Emma Holmes, Mattie Harrison, Lizzie Allen, Viola W. Siller, Miss Clifford Smith, Messrs. James F. Jenkins, Thomas D. Harper, Dr. F. B. Badger and others. The couple stood on a white fur rug under a bank of ferns in a corner of the parlor. The color scheme of decoration was an amurable blending of green and white. The walls, sideboards and mantle were draped with vines. There were windows in the center of which was a large fern surrounded by green shaded candles in pretty candelabra. The ice, cakes and candies were all in green and white, the cakes being heart-shaped. Mr. Antonio Graves rendered two beautiful violin solos, and Dr. F. E. B. Badger sang the song "Beauty's Eyes" in a most delightful manner. At the end of the wedding march entered the best man, Dr. F. S. Phillips, followed by the maid of honor; after whom came the bride on the arm of her father. Presents and telegrams of congratulations were received from friends of the young couple from all parts of the country. The event was by far the most brilliant in the social work of the society, the social prominence of the parties concerned and the delightful manner in which the whole arrangements were carried out. DR. THIRKIELD'S PLEDGE. WILL Make Howard Great Center of Higher Education. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Since I migrated to your section of the country I have become quite a regular reader of THE ACE as well as a member of the Society. My time has been so absorbed during the last six years in my bronder work covering the entire country that I have gotten out of touch with your journal. I want to congratulate you on the strength and alertness of THE ACE. You are conservatively aggressive, and do not hesitate to strike hard and effective blows where they will tell. Such an organ is of indecible value to any poorest Permit me to thank you for the cordial support which you are giving to the new administration at Howard. I enter upon this work with a sense of concession to a task that offers me the largest opportunity for service in the interests of the Nation and the Kingdom of God. There should be built up a great university, a great university will offer the opportunities for intellectual and moral culture and advancement and that shall be open to people of every race and country. It appears to me that Washington is the place, and Howard University, with its great foundation and super equipment, should be that institution. I am tremendously interested in this task and propose to build into this institution the best years of my life. believe there are enough students this country to give us in higher education of the Negro to give us here the enlarged equipment that we need to render the very best service. The year opens musically, the attendance is large; the spirit is admirable and the outbook is all that I could desire. W. P. THINKER Washington, October 3, 1906.

Alleged Archbishop's Ungrammatical Solution of the Problem. To the Editor of The New York Age: Kindly give me space in your paper to make a few brief remarks to your readers, and to the Old Leaders of the Negro Nations and the Negro people of America. Whereas I have been a reader of your paper for years, and whereas under the caption of the word "Impostors" you take pleasure to point me out to the Negro people and to the readers of your papers as one of the greatest impostors of the age, and classed me as one with elbow and crowd—in your issue of either or on them. I will be unfair to your readers, Mr. Editor, to force upon them your say, and not allow them to hear from me who you call a great Impostor. It would be well, Mr. Editor, if you knew an Impostor, when you seen one, to show him unto the ignorant people, and point out to them the things that prove that your judgment of an Impostor is infiltrate, but the man you call an Impostor God calls righteous, such as the secrets of God are trusted with. Now, sir, let the people hear from me who you say is a great impostor, and let them judge for themselves whether I am an impostor or not. Listen to me. I ask are you same and honest and righteous men who say I am an impostor, able to find or produce or create a remedy to stop such race riots as occurred why don't you say they are the people you can stop all such? Tell the man who you say is an impostor has a sure remedy to stop all such, and stop it quickly and easily. Why ain't you honest Negro leaders willing to take the medicine you need and advise the race to do likewise? The way is so simple and easy that the wayfaring men, even though they be fools, they have no need to err therein, but I ask can the ex-servile explain that one eradicates the diseases of the people, and then compel every sick family to take it according to directions? I say no, it is his to make it, but it is left to the sick to take it, or die. I want you and all men to understand me, I AGREE WITH GOD. Besides Almighty God there is no God that can save the Negro people, and if no other living man knows how God will or how God can save the Negro people from the evil that is upon them in America, I know it well, and I know another thing, know that we deserve for the Negro people in America until they become willing to obey whoever God offers them to show them what to do, to be saved. There is no salvation left or promise to any people who will not follow God, or follow the invisible leader that God qualifies and sends to them to lead that special people to certain victory. Let the Negro people do as I say do and I will set them in a mansion or in a glorious system that will shine so bright and wax so strong in America that the heat of it as it rises in snowy mountain in America, and all the fat valleys will know by the overflow that there is a mighty man in the land somewhere who asks the powers of hell no odds. In the organization that I am now forming for the success of my people in America, I can use seven hundred thousand leaders and united workers in the Negro race in America in the great system who are willing to take a part with me meet me in Convention November 6th, 1901, in Philadelphia, and I will prove to them, who honor me, that I am able to stop, or create a power that will stop, or cause the evils to cease that now prevail over the Negro people of America I dare the Negro people to try the remedy I offer them. Thank God I am one who is able to show them who will be shown by me what to do to save the race in America. I could say more but rather than to paper your will, I will teach it. I only see it even at this time. But I will say this, to wit, that the first fifty men or women of the Negro race that will pledge themselves to me to take a part CLAYTON'S EXPRESS and Moving Years.

JUSTUS J. EVANS, D. G. Newark, April 4, 1901. TRAINER AT AMHERST 1. F. D. Newport Han Turned Out Many Famous Athletes. From The Asheville (N. C.) Guide. Few people beyond the State line know peppers that the Amherst College has a nephew, the Amherst will, no doubt, will believe that the student which Amherst made in athletics was in the main due to F. D. Newport's training of her students. For seventeen long years Mr. Newport has been in full charge of this department, and he has wished to train him. Mr. Newport was made at Amherst in 1859. He spent his boyhood in this rugged little hill town, attending school until about 18 years old. He attained what is equal to a high school education at the present time, and he became interested in athletics and took up boxing, resting, football and athletics in general. In the fall of 1888 Mr. Newport was called to Amherst College to become instructor of sparring, to take full charge of the football teams and of the athletic uniforms, and he has retained the position with Mr. Newport is recognized as one of the most successful trainers in this country, perhaps, certainly in New England. He has turned out such men as W. H. Lewis of football fame, G. B. Shaltuck, colorado's Alonzo Shannon, the noted colored end of Alonzo Shannon, the colored interscholastic choreographer, the jumper of western Massachusetts; W. D. Eaton Sherman Jackson and many other good men too, numerous to mention. Prof. Newport is married and has two children, Martha and Edward, who live in New York and Edward is a sophomore in Amherst and Edward enter Westfield normal school this fall. ATLANTA AND CHICAGO. It is certainly a hideous thing that within two months in Atlanta thirteen assaults or attempted assaults on white women have been committed by Negroes. But if anyone has an inclination to excuse lynching and rioting on that man he can come back to a sane view of things by fixing his eyes on conditions in Chicago. Thirteen assaults on women in two months would be a deplorable but not an extraordinary record in Chicago. Indeed, if there have not been thirteen assaults of girls alone within half as long a time as the usual unusual freedom from that terrible crime. And yet loafers and disorderly crowds are not permitted to go through our streets shooting indiscriminately at any portion of the population and beating all whom they do not shoot. And as the crime itself is concerned it is just a crime whether committed in Chicago or in Atlanta or committed by white men or by black The truth that is made manifest in these facts is that the lynching and sloting in the South cannot possibly be fully described in terms of crime and indignation against crime. It can only be described in terms of race hatred and of elemental passion set free from craziness. At the same as saying that the blame cannot be thrown upon the Negro alone, it must be thrown still more upon the whites. It is fortunate that the diapatches of governing carried many expressions of a sense of guilt from loading white citizens of Atlanta. It will be more fortunate still if their consciousness of this underlying truth will lead them at once to take thoroughgoing measures to find a remedy. Those measures can only be in that form of public self-control which is inflicted through a strong and efficient local government, and in the effort and sacrifice which are necessary to create it.

BAGGAGE HAS CONFERENCE IN JAMAican LABORATORY obtained by Three Grown Men, Would Be Well at Punamu. WASHINGTON, October 4—Charles B. Maggon, ex governor of the Panama Canal Zone, who has spent a great deal of time on the latham, has considerable confidence in the Jamaican Negro as a laborer on the canal. He has organized a police force of these men and says they are very efficient. Much of the complains against the police are his own. he thinks, is because they do not thoroughly understand American terms and the names of articles in common use. He says that upon the whole they are intelligent and can read and write. They are prolific letter writers, as the governor can testify. They all begin their letters to him in the same way: "For Excuse, I am a British man." You tell me that you I am a British subject, etc. Mr. Maggon says that they are all proud of being subjects of Great Britain. He believes that the method to be ultimately adopted in handling labor on the canal will be similar to that adopted by Kitchener when he advanced upon Klarum. The British general utilized African labor, but had it organized on a military basis. Mr. Magoon says he does not mean that laborers on the canal should be under military discipline, but that they should be trained in the skills and the charge of competent officers with men of their own race and kind in positions similar to non-comissioned officers in the army. He believes that a satisfactory system will result from this method. HIS MIGHNESS OVERINDE OF ODGDOMSHAW HITS TOWN News Sights in Philadelphia and Will Be a Minister.

His example had a good effect and we have now 300 Baptists in our town of about 30,000 inhabitants. "How big is Philadelphia? Has it nearly 1,500,000 inhabitants? And how many of them are Christians? Not all? I am not a Christian. I get back all people in Ogodomshaw shall be Christians and men shall have only one wife each." After spending a day looking at the sights, he left for Richmond.

In his speech at Augusta, Georgia., reported in The Times yesterday morning Senator Tillman of South Carolina mingled with some good sense an amazing amount of reckless folly. It was good sense to put the prevention of the crime which is generally pleaded as the occasion for lynching before revenge for that crime; to recognize that lynching as a means of prevention has failed; to admit that in lynching the innocent suffer; and to propose at least one preventive measure, the arrest of vagrants, which involves no offense against the rights of individuals or of the community. The rest of his speech was most incredibly foolish, and parts of it were wicked in their recklessness. It is folly in a Senator of the United States to predict, in a way that tends to inceite, a race war "beside which the Atlanta riot will pale into insignificance," to talk of the "Republican National Government aiding and abetting that idea of political and social equality on the part of the Negroes which threatens such a war, to speak of riots as "precipitated by people of guilty men" in the cases of criminal assault, to preempt the country would be better off if all the raving Negroes were "shot like wild boars," and, in the same spirit, to declare that the white men of the South should go ahead and do what they believed was right in this matter, "regardless of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell." Worse than the specific utterances is the tone of violence that pervades them. If ever such an inexplicable disaster as a "race war," occurred in the South, violence of this sort on the part of men in influential position will lend to it. Wede not for a moment ourselves he believe that Mr. Tillman really represents the sentiment of the great body of the people of his State, and we are sure that he represents even less the real sentiment of the great body of the people of the country. We are sure that he represents even less the real sentiment in the long run the people of that section will not only be found willing but able to deal with lawlessness as it ought to be and must be dealt with in a civilized community in modern times. We are convinced that the portion of the people who indulge in lynching, even where the present crime of assault, and faction where the present crime of assault are but the idle, irresponsible, violent and generally worthless, not the respectable citizens. In the same issue of The Times, in which the speech of Senator Tillman was reported there were also reported three cases is as many Southern States where Negroes accused of crime were in the streets, and as many a thorites. That is the direction in which the other sentiment of the South is apparently moving. It is, however, timely to utter a word of kindly warning as to such desperate agitation as Mr. Tillman's speech tends to excite. If it is allowed to go far enough seriously to imperil the order of any considerable section of the country, it will encounter, it will compel. Federal intervention, and no one knows better than Senator Tillman that if that is once undertaken it will be thorough and conclusive. All reasonable Northern men regard such a possibility with the utmost care, and in depry way and to the last moment. But the Federal Government a reserve of power intended for the protection of citizens of the United State which has never been exercised, has never been clearly defended, but exists and will be used if the plain need arises. The Nation has been very patient and considerate in this matter. It has seen such men as Mr. Tillman seated in the United States Senate when a free and fair vote would have kept them at home. It has seen like incongruities in the political life of a number of the Southern States, and it has TILLMANIA. Exercise 8.50 P. M. Clara Price, president; Mrs. M. J.

CARS PASS THE DOOR. ignored them because it recognized that the situation was one of great difficulty and accepted the promise that the process eserved to would lead to order and justice. It was the whites of any of the Southern States that would not have absolute control deliberately withdrawn from a whole class of citizens "the equal protection of the law," if they fail to curb the lawlessness and violence of their towdies, and if they stir up or permit to stirred up a peace war in which "the color of the blood is a death warrant," the Nation will cease to act. It will act—deliberately, by legal means, and fairly, but it will undoubtedly act. From The Evening Post Senator Tillman's views on the Negro question have the great merit of frankness. But, if we may judge by the telegraphed reports, they still lead directly to anarchy, to say nothing of friction between the North and the South. He would send all vicious Negroes to the North, and insists that the South shall pay no further attention "to all the Yankees to ponder" he declares, "else we will be forced to go to shooting. And Negroes, we will kill when they begin to believe that the skin is a death warrant, regardless of good behavior." But his most significant utterance is that touching upon the notorious relations of white men with colored women. This is a subject that can only be briefly touched upon in the news papers; but it is suggestive that it has suddenly begun to appear in the Southern book reprinted on Friday last a letter from a southern white woman to The Atlanta Journal of News upon this the white man in the same paper of September 29, mother woman writes from Washington, Ga. "Let me ask, what are we going to do with the white brute?" and adds: How many colored girls of Georgia how many white girls of Georgia they are in the roles of mother white who is the man? Some one will say the Negro does man? Some one will say the better title. Who is responsible for this man? Who is responsible for this woman? Through the years of their slavery from their masters, who was learning out from their masters, who was teaching them? Are we still trying to teach them? It is interesting to note that The *Grand* girl's editor heads this letter "A Home Throne on Morals." From The New York World Strict consistency is too much to expect, perhaps, from any Southern polltician who undertakes to discuss the race the South is in the verge of a great race war, lays down six propositions "which cannot be disputed." It may be worth white to compare two of these propositions: First. The white men of the South are the majority of the population, to maintain white supremacy, politically and socially. In every part of the Southern Fourth—Lunchnails for criminal assault with continue as long as the crime is prominent. The men in industries the whites, precipitate riots and cause innocent Negroes to suffer. Second. Tillman's logic leads straight to the conclusion that white men's government also fails in the South. It may be a failure, but it need not be a failure. The whites of the South are united, as Senator Tillman says, and they control the government. It is white sheer who administers the law in the counties, white judges before whom Negroes charged with assault, are brought for trial, white审判 upon the guilt of the accused and white Governors whose duty it is to see that the law is faithfully executed. If "the escape of guilty men inflames the whites," as the Senator says, who is to blame for this escape but the white men who are in control of the government, Mr. Williams thinks that the white men of the South shall do what they love to be right in this matter regardless of "all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell." Then why not begin by vigorously administering the law? GEORGE A. BRAMBILL, Ladies' and Gent's Tailor, 187 W. 134th Street.

M., who milled from this port on the 12th ult, says that the people of that Black Republic that made him feel that he was in the hands of his friends. Dr. Blair's mission to Haiti is under the auspices of the Foreign Mission boards of the New England Haitian Mission of the United States, the National Baptist Convention. The object below to make a careful survey of the field will a view of doing missionary work among the natives whom Rev. Blair states in his letter are slaves to the Pope at Rome, and to support his mission for instance. Rev. Blair will arrive from Haiti next week and upon landing will go immediately to Augusta, Ga., where his wife and son have been with his parents during his absence. Miss Louisa Ranson, of Montclair, N.J., gave Sunday and attended services at the Concord Baptist church of which she is a member. Following up the request for special prayers and discourses in behalf of the race on last Sunday at the morning serenity service, Dr. A. R. Cooper stirred his congregation to prayer and thoughtful meditation in a dramatic discourse, the text of which was taken from Genesis. God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering—so they went both of them together." The minister was evidently much concerned about the treaty especially at this time, for he plunged right into the heart of his subject at once. Dr. Cooper said: Men feel that they must retaliate, must assert their manhood, and some go so far as to say I will die for your retaliation. Your retaliation be one of faith in God. In every act there is a right side anew, wrong side—be sure you are on the right side—lightcousness will conquer. Crucify yourself. God's word cums right and left—our joy and the influences we receive from serving God overbalance every sacrifice we make. In race then God will fight our battles. Lay down your hypocrisy, idolatry and immorality and dig the devil out of the race. Clean up. God will not come into the camp unless you do. The Sunday school institution Endeavor each had interesting sessions. At the Holy Trinity Baptist church on Clason avenue and Lefferts Place, Rev. S. W. Timms preached both morning and evening, taking his morning text from Matt. 2230. At 2:30 in the afternoon the Sunday school was well attended. Superintendent Royతer presided, and the other lesson had been designed to be the main points in the central truth ellching them with the golden rule. The session of the Trinity Lyceum at 4:30 was presided over by Deacon Robert E. Ward, and Mrs. Stevens was Mistress of Ceremonies. The program was good and these persons took part in its rendition: Mrs. I. E. Miller, Mr. Chase Johnson, Mrs. Marshall, Miss R. T. R. R. Rev. S. W. Timms, Miss Warfield and Mrs. Saunders, Miss Little Johnson was the soliter. Dr. William T. Dixon, who went to Philadelphia at the urgent request of the pastor and members of the Cherry street Baptist church to preach the dedicators sermon in their new meeting house on last Sunday, has returned. Dr. Dixon was accompanied on his trip by Mr. Lemuel L. Williams of Manhattan. On the third Sunday day in the day that he wrote a series of prices pastor Dixon will preach his forty-third annual sermon as pastor of the Concord Baptist church. Readers of *Twin Ace* in this borough would like very much to know when Dr Walter A. Jackson is going to organize the literary society of which he spoke no more than a few years ago, Prof. W. Henry Thomas, dramatic instructor and playwright, will give a musical and dramatic concert at the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. on Thursday evening, October 18, at which time he will present some of the oldest and best known plays of the past century. Rev. J. Francis Blake's trip to Haiti recalls to mind some very interesting historical facts as to how Haiti became the real channel through which the United States came to purchase the old Louisiana territory out of France's contempt for English. It has been quite some five years ago since the question was made that this government erect a monument to Napoleon Bonaparte in honor of his part in according to us the purchase of Louisiana, and indeed the suggestion gained credence in the public opinion of the people. If such should ever be the case we would like to ask in all caner, what about evering a similar shaft to the immortal memory of Toumahist L'Overture whose just fame was the subject of the history and final triumph of Haiti and the treachery of the French Republic. Students of history all know too well what this black Napoleon did for Hyatt; whom Bonaparte felt was enacting a travesty on his own consular regime—to the extent that he was a slave—one is a great measure its possession of Lomaland. Napoleon had no particular Hiking for America, and Tulligeyment his prime minister at that time even went on for as to declarate that the United States would be shut up in the Himalayas which will not be made available for them. The United States is ability of a vast Western omnipotent, heavily upon Napoleon's brain and was the dream of his ambition and by a shrewd exchange of diplomats intrigues, the treaty of San�idoro in 1806 was not further retreeded by Spain to France and France pretended to deliver the duty of Eurasus to Spain. This is the fact that the way to the other country is well to be the French General, but not to the French, then to San Domingo with instructions to use Hayti as the basis of an expedition to Louisiana. But Hayti really belied this and for a few years he overturned the country and for a few years he was undaunted continued to follow up his plans and Europe was highly interested in their outcome. Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States, and he paid little attention to what was the policy of the American governor of the significance of Napoleon's movements; while Europe did not feel called upon to take Tournament's position seriously. He was not a member of the�-sionist movement, and his blacks were second-classy to their fate, the wave of the French empire would roll on to Louisiana and sweep far up in the Mississippi; if Sam Doone should rest, he would be in the balance of the recoil would be the recoil of Europe, while America would be left on purme. The democratic destiny in peace However, in 1802, 2,400 men under Leclerc died of Hyattian fever and the onslaught of the blacks. In January of the following year, the blacks anthilized. Berardotte, Louat and Victor were ready to pursue the campaign, but Napoleon was afraid that a second failure would occur. He asked French credit and weaken public faith; so he shifted his plans. Being angered at his failures in Hyatt, Napoleon informed the British minister, on March 12, 1803, that he would not be able to take the territory with at this flat, the hope of a western empire faded away. In the meantime Snapl had failed to get Etruria, showed her contempt for France, both Spain and England and thus toomed to the war. This naturally enraged France, she saw a means of scoring against, both Spain and England and thus toomed to the war. Therefore it is to the desperate courage of the 50,000 brave heroic Hyattians that we are indebted for the cession of Louisiana. If a monument is to be erected in commoration of that cession, that black Napoleon L'Ouverture, N. BARNETT, DOPPON. The usual Sunday afternoon meeting of the Carlton revenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association was dispensed with last Sunday and the members generally attended services in memory of Rev.

Bricklews was given at Stum- ball on Monday evening of that week on the lawn of the library of the researcher, under the management of Mr. Joseph C. Allen, furnished music and the layers had a merry time from nine o'clock to eleven. Mr. Bricklews was in the employ of the American Press Association as junior for five years. His eyesight failed him about three years ago and he had to give up his work. He had to pay the payroll for three months or more, in the hope that his sight might be restored, but he grew worse and his only support was from friends and family. Employees of the American Press Association have given liberal patronage to all of his entertainments. Mr. Bricklews was industrious and, well paid by the firm and his fellow employees. In the absence of Dr. W. T. Dixon, Coeconant meeting was conducted by Deacon Pierre Zeno at the Concord Baptist church last Sabbath morning, at 10:30. The Sunrise service was followed by a highly interesting session. At 3:30 in the afternoon communion services were held. Rev. L. J. Brown, pastor of the Berenac Baptist church, was in charge, in the evening at 10:30, of pulpit work with W. R. W. Lawson who preached an instructive sermon in accordance with the request of the Executive committee of the National Afro-American Council that prayers be made for the race and appropriate churches on this particular Sabbath. Dr. Lawton, who is always listened to attentively, selected his text from the 50th chapter of the Book of Genesis, 20th series of the theme was the "Struggle and Trial of the African People" and a pathetic, yet heroic word picture of the boy slave of aged age and which light upon the ordeal through which the Negro race is still passing.

ATHENES, Ga., October 4.—Two Afro-American boys convicted of prowling around the house of a white man were fined, a few days ago, $25 and $10 respectively. Their accuser was an Afro-American, who was highly praised by the mayor. Another packhouse house scandal—A man who was running a lunch-stand out in a Western to own used only canned goods. The Indians from a near-by reservation had seen him take so many different things that seemed to them should be growing in the open air that they began to wonder what he would bring into. One day he got a graphite phone and started it to playing. A crowd soon collected, among it several Indians. Some one went up to a group of Indians and asked what they thought of it. The reply was a shrug of the shoulders and the expressive "I am not a boy." They up to one young brave and asked his opinion. The Indian thought awhile and then said calmly: "Tight! Canned white man!"—Judges Magazine of Pon. THE BRADFORD 80 West 130th Street, New York City Work or Study, Day or Night, Work or Month. First-come, First-served.

RHODE ISLAND Providence We can even do better than our white friends. It is now time to prove, the stuff that is in us by our bearing through the ordeal we are passing. Our white neighbors are not immune to the sins of the vicious; this is ultimately fair, and it will not be fair to charge Atlanta as a unit with mob violence. The authorities were as much unprepared for the rampage of the mob Saturday night when innocent and inoffensive blacks who fell to the ground Conditions not reasonably contemplated cannot be substantially provided against. We must not only give the constituted authorities time to restore normal conditions, but we must assist them in every way possible: by maintaining order and suppressing violence. We were in a position Saturday night to see much of the mob, and it was not composed of the men who were there. The man was not composed of the substantials and responsibles, but of the irresponsible element of whites who never try to avenge crime until the cover of night hides their cowardice and rampage against the peace and dignity of the State. There were far more men and women in Atlanta Saturday night who stood as sentinels with their guns in their hands and protected themselves from impending danger than constituted themselves why should we become alarmed and disorganised and desert those who stood by us at the peril of their own lives? Our service and peaceful presence are absolutely essential to the highest development of the city, and there is no need of becoming unsettled and leaving the community to settle in another vicinity only to be molested in the same way for less prosecution. Standing around the men in menacing groups and straying children in the community will contribute to restoring peace and harmony in the community. Many of us really have better protection upon the premises of our employers than we have at home. Let us keep cool and convince the white man by our demeanor that we are not the only barbarians in the city. Let us not let up in our fight against the criminals and the dives and appeal to the authorities to disarm the lawless whites and irrepressible blacks. Let us not so far as lie in our power remove every semblance of provocation for another outbreak. Let the recent blodgy scenes act as a stimulus to double our resolutions to rout from the community the criminal and the vicious. But this must be done by the strong arm of the law. Mob law cannot do it. The majesty of the law must be felt in the suppression of all crime, if the peace and safety of the community are permissible. We must protect the cities in the Negro criminal resentment, and a desire to visit vengeance upon the entire white race. Mob law argues that law and the authorities are insufficient to cope with criminals; this is a libel on Atlanta's fair name. When we speak of Atlanta we speak of the citizen body and not of the criminals. For Nero blood, was willing to engulf the entire city in chaos and riot, endangering every life and demolishing all property. The future of Atlanta is too great, and the interests of all the people too immense to beangered by irrorous law and criminal Negroes, who have nothing. Both the mob and the criminal must go, but it is not necessary for us all to become criminals to get rid of the vices. Mob violence is to be deplored. There is no excuse for it. Why become a criminal to surprise a criminal? Let us take hope. Every day in Cuba now is Saturday night in Atlanta, New York, Ohio and Illinois have had their riots and molts, and everything didn't go to the bed. In the course of our short life we have seen more fatalities, as the result of a Saturday night's froglon on a South Georgia plantation of turpentine farm than resulted from the downward trajectory. So far the thorniest reported less than nine deaths, including both races. We have seen, after the pistol smoke, razors and clubs were elicited away, at a Negal party where no white faces were present, at least one dozen dead and wounded Negers. We only cite these things to discourage abnormal exercise among our people. We must stand for law and order. It makes no difference what the mob doe; we must stand for law and order. This appeal is not made in the fear of extermination — we have no such covardy fear — but out of a heart full of the purest patriotism in the interest of all the people. We are here and we are going to remain here and man out our place as useful and law-abiding citizens. We will have an occasional loss of life and property here as long as the provocation exists, but we have an abiding faith in the friendship and love of law and order of our white neighbors. Let us keep the peace and appeal to their reason as sober judgement (2) and mob. Let us not, for forget that if we are sometimes surrounded by the mob we are always in the midst our best friends.
