"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. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. American has an equal chance in the race of life with other races. 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: 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.

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! Well, why don't you go to some other place?" Tattereden Torné "I can't, madam; you see I'm a stationary engineer."—Woman's Home Companion. Congratulations From Dr. Waller.

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. 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.

BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN In a letter hearing the postmark Port Au Prince, Haiti, September 20, from the Rev. J. Francis Blair, A. 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. 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 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 third annual reception in aid of Mr. James E. 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.

OVERTON. A Successful Undertaker in Brooklyn and Manhattan for Eighteen Years. Beginning in 1889 and continuing until the present time Mr. Overton has scored an enviable reputation in the business of embalming and burying the dead. When he was the first Afro-American civil service patrolman of the Brooklyn police force, his business was managed by his cousin and also during his service in the post office department at Washington. The Brooklyn business having succeeded, in 1903 he opened a branch at 706 Eighth avenue and shortly thereafter WILEY G. OVERTON. took a partner and opened at 140 West St. street, under the firm name of Overton & Brown. Mr. Overton later severed his connection with the firm and gave his whole attention to his well-appointed Brooklyn office at 317 Bridge street, valued at $10,000 and owned by him. Having been importoned by numerous friends to extend his business once more to this borough, he has just opened at the remodeled tenement, 80 West 90th street, an up to date 'branch office, where, day or night, his services can be had for every occasion. He has been in the business for eighteen consecutive years attests his worth. He is a member and officer of the Bridge street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, Widow's Son Lodge, F. and A. M.

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.
