THE NEW YORK AGE. REGISTER VERNON HONORED BLOQUET DRATTON ON RELATIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND CITIZEN. Addresses in Response to Toasts by Afro-American Distinguished in All of the Various Activities of the Nation-Register Vernon Derries Epiphathing and Efforts to Pull Down These Who Have Succeeded He Is No President and Believes the Right Will Prevail. Special Correspondence of The Ack. WASHINGTON, February 1.—On the evening of January 20 a banquet was given the Hon. W. T. Vernon, by citizens of the District of Columbia and others from the several States residing there. In attendance were quite a number of out of town gentlemen. Over one hundred of them were seated at the tables, which were so advantageously arranged as to enable the guests of the evening to look every man in the ays with ease when he made his eloquent response. There is perhaps some local conceit existing among colored Washingtonians, leading them to believe that not Boston but Washington is the Hub' at least of the social universe, the most of the activities. Whether this be true or not, it is doubtful if there could be gathered together at any other spot on the earth's surface one hundred men and more of African origin representing greater energy and intelligence; still the District of Columbia is not responsible for this brilliant aggregation, for they came from more than a score of States. These men were present to pay their respects to Register Vernon who, since June 12, 1906, the date on which he took his oath of office, has been a resident of this city, where he has been gradually winning friends among the white people, making him a leader, both white and black, especially in white officialdom, with which he is in constant contact. His course here has been characterized by poise and modesty—qualities which are especially becoming in the conspicuous and talented—and he is conspicuous for well-known political reasons and eminently talented as an orator. Among these energetic Afro-Americans who came out to banquet the Register were successful business men, ex-conduits, soldiers, educators who are rapidly rising in their profession and the vast army of clerks from the various departments of the Federal Government who have long since actually settled closely conceivable phase of the "Negro Problem," so far as they are concerned. Mr. W. L. Houston, recently elected Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, acted as the toastmaster, and right wittily did he perform his conspicuous part. Those who made addresses were limited in time, so that the Register, when he was reached in the order, provoked prosecution which had limited time, which to make his pronouncement, which was forceful, witty and eloquent. The following programme was carried out with precision, and the speakers were all received with applause at the conclusion of their remarks: Welcome. Dr. W. L. Lampton, financial secretary A. M. E. Church; "Wanted," Dr. W. L. Board, successful draggist; Citizen and Soldier. Hon. John L. Walle, ex-council Magistrate, ex-executive Hon. R. H. Greenet, ex-consular agent, Vladivostov, Siberia; "Our Political Duty," Judge E. M. Hewlett, sometime Civil Magistrate; "Educational Ideals," Dr. L. B. Moore, faculty member, Howard University; "Race Unity," Judge R. H. Terrell, Civil Magistrate; "Essentials of Progress," Dr. A. M. Curtis, distinguished surgeon and former head of Freedmen's Hospital; The Church; Its Responsibilities; Rev. W. A. Brooks, eloquent Baptist minister; The Church; Major R. M. Moten, Commandant of Cadets, Hampton Institute, Va.; "Our Guest," Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Drees; Response, Hon. W. T. Vernon. As the Register arose to respond he was interrupted for some time by prolonged applause, and spoke in part as follows: "I am sure that I cannot fittingly express my appreciation of this testimonial of esteem and regard which you have given me. The eloquent words of congratulations and compliment which the speakers of the evening have seen fit to utter regarding me appeal to me in a way which no words of mine can fully describe. Words are but feeble things—they mean so little when the heart holds so much—and I assure you, that could the promptings of my inmost soul be laid bare in this splendid presence, how infinitesimally small would seem by such comparison my attempt to express these promptings. "I came to you a stranger, to assume the duties of the office to which I had been appointed, realizing that such an appointment was more than a personal elevation. It carried with it representation for the race, and hence great responsibilities calling for the best effort of any man. "I assure you that my efforts have been to measure up to these responsibilities in a way which would please, not only my superiors, but all the people of this great country, without regard to color, my own race, my own position, to find favor and approval then I feel more than repaid; and these words of yours to night, and this testimonial, will serve to encourage me to greater effort to perform my duties faithfully in the future as I have attempted to do in the past. "This is a most generous act; and I may now now that I have the kindest feelings for all of the elements that I have met since coming here, and which have all treated me with uniform courtesy and kindness. To sum it up, I want to be everybody's Register of everybody's Treasury. "My earliest recollection of life is a log cabin and a dirt floor, but way down there I had some ambition to occupy a place in life which would be worth while, not may be worth while, but I knew that he who would help others must first raise himself. His elevation will bring with it some influence fitted to assist those of his fellows with whom he comes in contact. "I speak the truth when I say that no man does his full duty, no matter how elevated, who does not consider his duty to others quite as much as his duty to himself. I realize that here to-night we have in you that of brain and character fitted to fill any place to which fortune may elevate you—to perform any duty which fate may assign. In the midst of an encumbranched such as this, I estimate to enter into any discussion which tends to moralizing. "I cannot say that which has been unpaid, nor think that which has been brought by some or all of you; and yet these seemingly impertinent platitudes it regards to duty to rare and follow man I trust will not be considered gratuitous. "Such an occasion as this is splendid or getting together on common grounds, or the interest of those whom we form a bond." "When and if is a public trust, and all would realize it, the Negro realize that there is for him the most generous and comprehendible. Aside LOOK SOFTER LARA LEMON. DON'T IT BRER BEN! PUBLIC OPINION from a faithful performance of the duties assigned him, he should maintain an especial interest in his people. "To no set of men does leadership bring greater responsibilities than to the Negro leaders. The masses trust them implicitly, and for these they should think and labor. "It will be a splendid day for the race when the leaders lose sight of minor differences and agree upon broader lines of opinion, the common good. To any that we should all think alike on public policies is to argue against nature, or to imply a blind fatuity which object subservience to one would mean; but that, on the essentials, we should agree, no one will deny. "In standing for each other we stand for the race. No jealousies nor envies should cause us to withhold from each other that which any one deserves. At the same time, honest criticism of one's public acts should not be mistaken for envy, for until time is not, men of hold accomplishment of those things which they think best, will, at times, seemingly, propagate divergent views for good and progress. "One of the most serious causes for alarm, as I see it, is the intemperate criticism which at times we heap upon each other, and the holding up to the gaze of the world the weaknesses which some of our greatest men, as well as the masses, may possess. This is no argument nor apology for wrong doing, but is inspired by the feeling that it is always better to see good than ill in one's fellow-man, as a principle in the moment, means much especially to a people whose antecedents would invite if not force some imperfections. "Unity of purpose and unity of thought, rather than a contrariwise movement on the part of those who see light, will make for a sure and lasting better day. "That a race should have opposition as well as an individual indicates progress, but shall we cease our efforts for progress because of opposition? Not so. To correct that which is of wrong within the race, to emphasize the right and the better things which the Negro has done, is a duty which we must not neglect. "I believe that a large proportion of the Negro indeed are living heartily for that which they conceive to be best, and hence I do not purposely take issue with men, per se, but state my views as I see the situation. "I believe that the wisest statesmanship will finally conclude that injustice to any of our citizens is indeed harmful to the Government, for the reason that patriotism arising from intelligent appreciation of the real greatness of the Republic, is the real safeguard of the country. Such patriotism is best fostered by the protection and splendid opportunities which only exact justice can afford. "The doctrine of self-government was a new pronouncement in the annals of the world. It was a protest against the injustice of centuries—against caste distinction and disregard of law. The remarkable mission upon which America started at the onset of our National stage was the mainspring of the most phenomenal success of the greatest Republic in the world's history. The high and lofty purpose of carrying out this mission actuated the Fathers. "Governments, as individuals, must not forget the purposes for which Providence has created them. Let it not be said of us that in our efforts to secure the things of earth we neglected soul virtues, chief among which are brotherhood and due consideration of the rights of man. We are commended to love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, nor the world passeth away and the lusts thereof. "In this materialistic age it will be said for us if the things of the soul, which have to do with human rights, liberty and enlightened conscience, lofty endeavors and inspired purposes are all forgotten, and the worded things—the lusts NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1907. BRER TILLMAN IN THE PILLORY of earth, the quest for power—shall reduce us from the hitherto splendid aim of this mighty nation. "The best men of both races must understand each other better. In a Republic there can be no lord and vassal, no master and slave, no ruler and serv, but the pregnancy of conscience in the final analysis must preserve our cherished institutions. "I am no pessimist. I have an abiding faith in the triumph of right, and the all conquering sense of justice. The eternal verities have no meeting existence, but are of the censure agents. "When the trials, the disheartening and misunderstandings which now obtain shall know the oblivion which is always the purpose of wrong equity and exact justice will be achieved." Every闸闸er joined in drinking a toast to the health of the guest of the evening with Aqua Pura, the only beverage served. Washington feels that Register Vernon is all right, all right. ECLECTIC CLUB'S ANNUAL CAUGHT ALL THE BEST THE Representative Men of Three S Enjoy the Feast of Reunion and Flow of Soul. THENTON, N. J., February 5- Eclectic Club, New Jersey's famous civil organization, celebrated its this anniversary by a notable dinner in clubroom last Saturday night. The six of the most distinguished representatives of the race in New Jersey, York and Pennsylvania sat down at and discussed the following menu: Martins: Lynn Havens on S Capture, Reale Ralea on S Bonnieuse, Fillet of White Fish, S Hollandaisse; Chateau La Tour Blanc Olives; Salted Almonds; Creamed S breads; Chicken Croquettes; Ec Punch; Cigarettes; Roast Young Tui RACE TROUBLE AT BEAUFORT. Afro-Americana Commended for Good Work at Fire—Savannah Morning News Condemned. BEAUFORT, S. C., February 4.—Disstressing racial conditions made their appearance after the disastrous fire at Beaufort last week, $175,000 worth of property being depleted in the most disastrous conflagration that ever visited the city. The fire started in the rear of a grocery owned by F. W. Scheper. A strong southwest breeze fanned the flames to a fury in a short while and spread the fire over an area of three-fourths of a mile, destroying some sixty buildings. A gattling gun and ammunition which were stored in Scheper's store were destroyed. The gun had been supplied the Naval Reserves, a company recruited from the younger men of Beaufort, who are clothed and equipped with guns and ammunition; also a team of men. This gattling gun, it alleged, was furnished to suppress an anticipated uprising of Afro-Americans. Gen. Robert Smalls, in a strong letter to the Secretary of War, repudiates the idea that there was or ever had been any fear or apprehension of friction between the races. After the fire, a detachment of 45 United States soldiers, under Capt. Joe Wheeler, from Serven, Ga., arrived and placed the town under marshal law. Under what authority Government troops were ordered is still unknown, and their presence caused great indignation. Articles appeared in The Morning Journal of Saxsauan, and in the Louisiana State Journal. Chronicle, calculated to stir up race hatred, which were roundly condemned in a monster mass meeting of white and Afro-American citizens, at which members of both sides spoke. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the secretary of this meeting communicate with the Savannah Morning News, condemning in unmeasured terms the article contained in that newspaper of the 21st instant." The following is the communication of the secretary: "BEAUFORT, S. C., January 21.—A mass meeting of prominent white and colored citizens of Beaufort, S. C., hereby express their unqualified condemnation of your report published in the Morning News of January 21, headed Troops Sent to Beaufort to Hold Negroes in Check. The implication that the two races did not work in harmony for the preservation of life and property or that there was at any time during the fire friction or ill feeling between them is a gross injustice to this community.

That Columbus affray caused by a white man and an anti-American's holding a "butterfly" ankle by a white leather crotch is no parallel of the Brownies affray, and even if it was the war department wf or to it that it was not "put up" the President as the Texas riot was "od is thicker than water" in the war argument as everywhere else in the army the country. THRIVING IN OLD VIRGINIA State League. Soon to Meet—Clifton Forge and Suffolk Working for the Banner—Organizer Move Home. Local Business Leagues that will mean much to their communities have been organized at Bluefield, Huntington, Hinton W. Va., and Clifton Forge, Va. The people in each of these communities were appreciative and grasped readily the idea of the importance of organization and the wisdom of co-operative spirit. These local leagues will do good in instituting such a work. In the various cities visited most encouraging progress is shown by the people, in the accumulation of property, and the establishment of little stores to which are being attracted colored support. The white people are friendly, and there is no friction between the better classes. There are a large number of worthless Nogroes who are hurtful to the interests of communities, and who are not above the committing of crimes. They are a burden to those who know them in town. In many places they are planning to wage war on all such, by compelling them either to work or leave the community. It is the idle and vicious that breed trouble. On account of cold weather at Rosnoke, we did not have a meeting, but Dr. Burrell, who is the leading citizen of the city and owns much valuable real estate, has promised to organize a league and take out a charter. Petersburg, Lynchburg and Norfolk will have more active leagues and is for Virginia is getting wide awake along Virginia's section is endeavoring to outdo the other. The State league will meet at Suffolk, and the Rev. W. F. Graham, the president-is busily engaged in arranging for same. Mr. W. H. Crocker, a successful contractor and builder of Suffolk, is an enthusiast in the work and says Suffolk will have the banner league. Suffolk is a growing town and the colored people are getting on well. Dr. Connor, of Clifton Forge, Va., has been practicing for six years and has built up a practive worth about $3,500 yearly; out of 1,100 patients last year 385 were white. This shows that merit will in the long run win. He stands high with all of the people and has the privilege of bringing patients to the city hospital. He has a valuable farm of 165 acres, and while a very unassuming man has won his way to the front an one of the leading physicians. He will guide the work of the local business league and has assured me that Clifton Forge and not Suffolk will have the league that will accomplish results. F.R.W. BOY OF 11 TURNS FORGER. Raina Check From $4 to $40 and Sends Another Boy to Get Cash. WATERBURY, CONN., January 30.... Theodore Hatcher, an Afro-American boy, 11 years old, yesterday changed a check from $4 to $40 and sent another Afro-American boy to the Citizens Bank with a note asking the bank to please pay the check. The note bore the forged signature of Miss Florence Hayden, the woman to whom the check was drawn. The lad is too young to be punished. Motorist Taylor Infatuated With Dear Rome. Rome, ITALY, January 21. I have reached the beautiful city of Rome, the greatest place I have seen yet in all my travel. I have been here five weeks and seen something new every day, and I am having the best luck in the world with my machine. It has never gone back on me as yet, although the roads in Italy are very bad for motorising. I am very fond of the Italian people on this side. Take it all in all they are better than the French, as far as I have seen. CHAN, F. TAYLOR. Rome, ITALY, January 21, 1907. TILLMAN ATE HUMBLE PIE MOLL IN WHICH SENATOR BLACKBURN PUT THE REPUBLICANS. Senator Foraker Get What He Started Out to Get—Stood by His Guns and Made His Colleagues Two the Martial Warner of Missouri, La Follette, of Wisconsin, and McNumber of North Dakota on the Black List—Resolution as Finally Adopted. WASHINGTON, January 4.—With the conclusion of Senator Foraker's great speech everybody supposed that it had practically closed the great debate on the Brownville affray and that the Senate would either that afternoon or the next day at latest pass the substitute resolution offered by the Ohio Senator just before beginning his remarks, which were intended to end the long discussion. But not on that afternoon nor on the next day was the vote taken, owing to developments which had not been foreseen by the leaders on the Republican side of the chamber. These developments arose out of a situation created by an amendment offered by Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, to the substitute Foraker's resolution. This amendment was in the context of a political trap or trick sprung under the feet of the party in power, and was intended to hold the two wings of that party fast to the constitutionality and justice of the President's order discharging the colored battalion, or the falling in this purpose would split the party into two warring factions. It was undoubtedly a clever trick or trap, and came near involving the Republicans in political consequences abrewedly included in the machinations of the Democrats who invented the trick, set and sprung the trap on their rivals in the Senate at a moment when they were not looking out for the tricks or traps of their party enemies. Consternation for a while was plainly written on the faces of certain Republican Senators during the time Senator Foraker was making his ruling argument, and ill-uppressed satisfaction inhibited almost to triumph became visible in the countenances of certain members on the Democratic side of the chamber. The situation was critical, not so much for the fate of the investigation, but for the harmony of the Republican party. This became presently apparent from the suggestion of Senator Lodge that when the Senate adjourn (time, Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock) that it should do so until Monday noon. This was objected to, and this breathing space, the interval from Thursday until Monday, in which the Republicans expected to together on some compromise resolution and shape the trap set for them by the Democratic House to be them in this emergency. They had to get together, therefore, as it were, in the face of the enemy and under a cross-fire directed upon them, in which the great man in the White House tried to do his share of execution upon his foes within his own party. All of the Sunday following the Republican leaders were trying to get together. There were meetings at the homes of Senator Lodge and of Senator Knox. At the meeting at Senator Lodge's the President himself was present, report has it. The Democrats, with the exception of Tillman and Teller, were solidly for the President, and there were also dozen or fourteen administration Senators among the Republicans who were disposed of the Democrats in support of the Blackwater amendments. The President himself, angry at the clism directed against the order of discharge by his own party, was in no mood for compromise, but was, on the contrary, for locking horns with the majority of his own party in the Senate on the Brownsville affray. He was bankering for a vindication of his extraordinary pretensions at the hands of the Senate, whether the doing so split his party asunder or not. This was his mood on Saturday and during the greater part of Sunday. He was, as usual, in his imitative way, ready to meet the issue, be the witness, to the last ditch, and to die heroically the last ditch, to see his party do so, rather than yield an inch of ground to the Republican leaders of the Senate. But wiser counsels finally prevailed with him, and possibly a good sleep on Sunday night induced him to change his mind in respect to that last ditch for himself or party. Be this as it may, the President was apparently on Monday more amenable to reason and the overtures of party leaders. He began probably to see in the sober light of his sober second thought the danger, the disastrous consequences, both to himself and to his party, which were involved in an open rupture between them. He was hanging far over the precipice of party discord and rupture when he made up his mind that discretion in such circumstances was the better part of valor. He was hankering for a Senatorial vindication of the nationality of his Draconian order, but he was not withdrawing as the same time after the fate of Andrew Johnson, who was antagonized by his party, hated by that party, and who was finally impeded by that very party of which he had been the titular and official head. The President well knows that there is a tendency on the part of history to repeat itself, and he wisely withdrew himself, for the nonce, at least, beyond the party maelstrom which had sucked into whirling waters the political fortune and career of Andrew Johnson, the apostate. A triumph over his party in the Senate by the aid of Southern Democratic votes might have tasted sweet to the President, but it would have proven himself enough to the stomach immediately after the event. Acute political indigations must be there. A followup, to put in permanent peril the political life, popularity and power of the man of destiny in the White Horse. Republican leaders like Foraker, Aldrich, Crane and Scott were determined, come what would, that the President should not receive the vindication of his assumption of dangerous power, through a coalition of Southern Democrats and administration Republicans, or by any other combination in the Senate, for that matter. The menace of a sweeping investigation into conditions in the Southern States along the color line was no mere brumum fulmen flashed by Mr. Aldrich and his associates, for it held the real fire and the real bolt which in the last resort they intended fully to launch at the head of the coalition of Southern Democrats and administration Senators who were bent on mischief and a vindication of the President's automatic order discharging the colored battalion. The funnel of this bolt did not take place, since the crisis the Republican party was met by a new promise resolution, for which all Republican except two or three ultra-administration supporters agreed to vote. These ultra-administration supporters it may be well for the colored people to bear hereafter in mind. They are Warner of Missouri, La Follotte of Wisconsin and McCumber of North Dakota. These three Republican Senators wanted no compromise, but a straight vote sustaining the discharge order of the President as just and constitutional. They did not get what they wanted, in spite of their own coalition with the Southern Democrats. of the colored battalion because they are colored. They got instead Senator Forrest's substitute resolution, prefaced by the words, "Without questioning the legality or justification of any act of the President" relating to the Brownville affray. This resolution was passed by the Senate on the Tuesday following the Thursday on which Senator Forrest who also gave the great debate, which had occupied the attention of the, Senate off and on for nearly seven weeks. By its passage Senator Foraker got exactly what he had asked for from the first, vis. iis: An investigation into the facts of the Brownville affray by the Military Committee of the Senate. It was for that and for that alone that he had been contending during those long and stronous weeks. He had never proposed at this stage of the ugly business to investigate the subject in its statutory and constitutional form. Of the act of the President is to follow, in the scheme of the Senator from Ohio, a searching inquiry into the facts of the case. When an investigation has placed those facts in possession of the Senate, and not until then, has he ever proposed to call in question the Constitutional authority of the President. But when the Military Committee shall have concluded the inquiry and the facts are in possession of the Senate, Senator Foraker will further develop his purpose and the Senate will the counsellor. That way they will see the Foraker resolution was passed January 22, and the Military Committee has appointed February 4 as the day on which it will begin its investigation into the facts connected with this now celebrated case. On the day before the passage of the resolution Senator Tillman added immeasurably to the interest and excitement of the situation by a characteristic speech in reply to Senator Spooner's terrific argument of him on the race question. This speech the King of Southern Crack era predated by the second coarse sketches of some of his Senatorial colleagues. He hit off each Senator as Lodge, Spooner, Carnack, Clay of Georgia, Stone of Missouri and Daniels, of Virginia to the life, and provoked thereby roars of laughter in the galleries and roars of something else on the floor of the Senate. This got him into trouble with almost everybody, without regard to party lines, and for some reason he got a everybody whom his "burnt cork" sketches had offended and horrified. But all the same the sketches were not half had likenesses of the subjects. This reminds me of a story, which we heard long years ago when a boy in Chicago, S. C., of that eminent lawyer, J. James L. Petiguro, who, about the time of the adoption of the Ordinance of Secession by South Carolina, was a ardent Senator Rights man and accused of being a Unionist. For which accusation he was knocked down promptly by Mr. Petiguro. When someone inquired of the frater jurist why he had knocked his accuser down for calling him a Unionist, Mr. Petiguro answered, in effect: "I knocked him down for the reason that his accusation is true, not because he is false for us, but because the Senatorial collages of Mr. Tillman knocked him down, we suppose, because his "burnt cork" sketches of brother Senators were altogether too true to life. And so moves on the panning show. SINGKANT HARRIS TESTIFIES. WASHINGTON, February 5.—The Senate Committee on Military Affairs began its investigation of the Brownville affair under the Foraker resolution, with the examination of Israel Harris, formerly sergeant of Company D. In response to questions by Senator Foraker the witness said that he had retired about 8.30 o'clock on the night of the shooting. He was aroused by the firing about 12 o'clock. He told of the call of the roll, saying that all of the men responded to their names. At sunrise the next morning the company was called up for inspection and, according to the witness, all of the guns and ammunition were in proper condition. There was no ammunition missing and all of the guns were cleaned. At this point Senator Foraker produced as exhibits two rifles, one a Krag-Jorgensen and the other the latest pattern of Springfield rifle, and the young woman stenographer in the committee room, at the request of Senator Foraker, chanced the weapons of the witnesses. Harris showed how the Springfield was cleaned and explained the method. It would take at least ten minutes to clean it thoroughly with the use of sal soda and the cleaning rod, four of which were kept in charge of a non-commissioned officer, but not under lock and key. There was a full platoon of ex-members of the Twenty-fifth about the corridors near the committee room while the hearing was in progress, but the committee agreed that they should not be admitted except as they were called as witnesses. Concerts and Entertainments TROY, Feb 6 At the Liberty Street Presbyterian church last Sunday one new member was added to the church. Ivey Freeman is doing a xcellent work.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1907. COMMON THINGS IN UNCOMMON WAY Some Record of the Routine Which Makes for Efficiency in Training of Mind and Hand and Success in the Actual Work of Life at the Tuskegee Institute—Dr. Washington "on the Job" Late and Early—Mr. Scott Helpfulness in the Work Acknowledged. From The Colored American Magazine. People often marvel at the wonderful growth in power and proficiency of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute when its illustrious principal is obliged to spend so much of his time away from the institution. They wonder if Tuskegee does not seriously suffer by the lack of constant personal supervision of Dr. Washington. These are perfectly natural questions, no doubt, and while educational institutions in the realm of things feel the absence of its principal, it does not suffer as much as a casual observation would seem to indicate. Tuskegee Institute is so thoroughly interwoven with the life of its founder it is impossible to consider the school apart from its principal. In considering Tuskegee, then, one must remember that this school is very well organized; that Dr. Marion B. Browne, the chief corps of workers as the race has produced. The superintendents of all the departments are experts in their line, and in loyal co-operation, they are all earnestly endeavoring to reach the highest ideal obtainable by an institution so unique and so far-reaching in its effects upon the world in general and the Negro in particular. The Tuskegee Institute is the ideals of its founder. Indeed it is a concrete actualization of the possibilities of the Negro along lines of practical and technical education. That a Negro could in an old church, upon poor land in a poor community, build in twenty-five years an institution of such magnificent proportions and仰望 the great work was forty years ago almost unthought of. When away from Tuskegee, as he is so often obliged to be, Dr. Washington through his very efficient executive secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, is by a system all their own, kept informed daily by the school's secretary. When at the school he is continually on the go, early and late, in season and out. On a visit to Tunkegue I remember coming out of his house very quietly at 5 o'clock one morning, for fear of waking any one. I knew Dr. Washington had been holding a council meeting quite late into the night before. Coming from Hampton, I wanted to see how the students got out in the morning—the stable boys and milkers, cooks and bakers. I went to the bakery—it was not yet daylight—and to my great surprise I found Dr. Washington observing the work of the bakers, questioning as to the amount of flour used and cautioning them against overfilling the bowl they would over to the stable and found that he had already been there and had left an order for a horse to be saddled. When he came to his breakfast at 7 o'clock he had ridden over much of the large farm and had looked over the brick yard. When Dr. Washington advises people to do the common things in an uncommon way, he is advising them to do what he is constantly doing in a very remarkable way. I was much interested in the interest he took in his fowl's, turkeys, pea fowl's, chickens' his looking after the chickens' the number of fowl's that could keep warm, etc. I remember also with what delight he was greeted, by some pigs, Jersey Reds he said they were. They seemed, as did also the fowl's, to recognize his voice. I observed his interest in the most insignificant shrub in his yard. In other words one is struck by the great contrast between the Wash- ington and the Carl Shurz memorial meeting and the Washington down at Tuskegee feeding chickens and pigs. I drove with him for some miles out from Tuskegee. I noticed he had a great many questions to ask almost every old colored man he met, and we met many drawn by a mule or an ox and in vehicles in all stages of decay. He wanted to know about their cotton and corn crops. He asked after the health of the children, the number of hogs they had indeed everything that touched the lives of those old colored people—his people appealed to him. He took much more time with a Negro and his mule than he did with a prominent white banker of the own Tuskegee. I insisted the Washington at Carnegie Hall shaking hands and receiving the congratulations from former President Cleveland and many other distinquished gentlemen, and the Washington shaking hands and advising the poor, igrant, struggling black farmer of Alhama. The two pictures are striking. Mr. Cleveland, the heir to all that opportunity can give, of ancestry, of education, of environment, of culture, of wealth, of honor, of fame, but withal glad to shake hands with and do honor to Booker Washington. On the other hand the poor Negro, disinherited as it were by a land that enslaved him, lynched by the man whose home he protected, kicked by a nation whose flag he defended, yet strangling upwards against opposition and oppression and receiving from his white brother a stone when he asked only, "What can I do with you?" He can shake hands with Booker Washington and is assured of a more cordial greeting even than an ex President of the United States. What a wide class there is between the e- President of the United States and the poor cotton field band of Alabama! How strange and striking the contrast between the Washington and pressing the wealth and culture of New York and the Washington advising and sympatizing with the Alabama Negro; but they are one and the same Washington to with one purpose, or one aim, one destination, or one end; things in an uncommon way," whether feeding pigs, cleaning chicken coops, advising and encouraging his mistreated people, lecturing his own 1,600 students on the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship, or administering the affairs of his great institution, the one controlling, dominating force underlies all his actions. The Washington years ago making bricks and erecting buildings without money is the Washington on owned heads of Europe honored; the Washington on owned heads of America honored; and labor for his people in the country districts of the South, is the Washington American wealth and culture homelife. The man who could do so well the "common things in an uncommon way" has also in a wonderful way done and is still doing the uncommon things in an uncommon way; whether pleading with his people or pleading for his people, whether as an educator or as a plain, simple, earnest, unselfish, devoted, praised, biblical, Christian man, he has always done in an uncommon way, he has always done in an uncommon way, and there is the secret of his success, the source of his power, the underlying principle of his life.

Last Year. From The New York Record and Guide. The recent reports in the press have caused me some annoyance because of the entire misrepresentation as to my connection with and the facts and circumstances surrounding the formation of the Afro-American Reality Company and its subsequent operations. It is true that I am president of the Afro-American Reality Company, and have been its general manager since its organisation, and that an action has been brought by Charles B. Crowder, representing less than five per cent. of the stockholders of the company, alleging that the prospectus induced them to purchase their stock. This action was instituted at the behest of Wilford H. Smith, who was the sole legal adviser of the company from its incorporation until a few months past, when he severed his connection with the company, after falling in an effort to secure for himself and his friends control. Shortly after this he began the action prepared by Mr. Smith took an active part in the preparation of the prospectus complained of, took part in, was interested in, and advised every transaction which, as the attorney for Crowder, he now criticises. The purpose of the action seems only to be to harass and discredit me if possible. He made a made a good order of payment in an equity action, which is most unusual and, as I am advised, is not sanctioned in legal practice. Beyond causing some personal annoyance, the only effect of this action has been to draw my friends and business associates more closely to me. Had these few people who have yielded to the institution and stored stockholder and former director come to me and stated their grievances, I should, I feel sure, have been able to convince them that their investment was sound and profitable, or I would have purchased their stock at cost and interest. They not having done so, I am given no chance but to meet them. I would have purchased the matter out in the courts. That the Afro-American Realty Company is not a detriment to the investor is proved by its printed annual statement, prepared by a certified public accountant, showing a net earning of over 15 per cent, on its entire outstanding balance, for the purpose of coping with which statement. I am sending here. The policy of the company is toward conservation, and the officers have served thus far without compensation or remuneration. The Afro-American Realty Company continues business and will continue so to do, all efforts to injure it. This public account is made that the public may be advised as to the true facts. Very truly yours. PHILIP A. PAYTON, JR. NEW YORK, February 2. AFTERMATH OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. CHARLETON, S. C., February 1.—The Race Congress held at Columbia, S. C., January 23-25, is now a part of history. That some good was accomplished cannot be denied, but what the ultimate results will be no one can possibly say. Never before in the history of the race has such a notable gathering of intelligent Negroes been held within the bounds of the old Palmetto State. Representatives of all the various professions and industries of life were there—clergymen, lawyers, physicians, teachers, merchants, farmers—and all bent upon one purpose—the interest of the race with which they identified. They gave close attention to all that was said or done, and gave evidence that they were anxious to bring about a better feeling between the race and their brother in white. It was, indeed, a notable gathering in more respects than one. From a financial standpoint the congress represented fully $500,000. Among the many thrifty delegates was J. S. Dickson, of Society Hill. Mr. Dickson is both a mechanist and farmer and is rated as being worth $25,000. A yearly worth of Burnettville, owned 1,700 acres of land in Marlboro County and thirty houses in his home town, and the only four-story brick building in that town. He is estimated to be worth not less than $50,000. Dr. J. E. Wilson, postmaster at Florence, S. C., is readily put down at the same figure. Mr. J. R. Wugfall, of Brokely, is a merchant, farmer and United States unil contractor, while Mr. Luther E. Bailey, of Columbia, is a surgeon in fancy groceries. When these gatherings were pointed out to the white visitors, it was to them a revelation. They had no idea that here in South Carolina there could be found sb many Negroes who are able to write their checks for thousands. From an intellectual standpoint we dare say that no similar body of men white or colored, could be brought together anywhere that could exert it. Not only did the speakers who had been called upon to prepare addresses upon special subjects gave evidence of good and their intellectual training, but likewise those who, from time to time, took part in the congress that allowed the set speaker. Familiarity with history, social and political economy, agriculture, finance, and all the branches of mental culture was in evidence on all sides. The congress demonstrated the fact that, intellectually, the Negro has not been able during the past forty years, and that he has made remarkable and commendable progress along that line. From a moral standpoint the congress was par excellent. During the three days and nights the delegates remained in Columbia not a sign of profanity or drunk rumination as gentleman and lad. The deported inmates as gentleman and lad pressed that will not soon be forgotten. Observing these marks, we could not help but be proud and say truly the race is coming and making such progress as should encourage the most pessimistic. The many white visitors who came in from time to time showed that it was not more curiosity that prompted them, but that they were anxious to see the Negro at its best. And they did. The result was that they were away with the conquest of the Negro in 1850, a visible of the highest possible development any other people. The speeches of Gov. Henry Heywood and Judge Brunt were indulged encouraging and inspiring, and gave evidence of the friendship they have for the Negro. "The address of Dr. Washington was, of course, the great feature of the conquest, was great and masterly of and kind and generous. If the advice of "The Wizard of Tuskegee" is heeded and put into practical use, the Negro cannot help, despite the many obstacles that may be placed in his way, rise to eminence and honor. It has been said that Dr. Washington is a trumpeter. Of that we do not know, one thing is certain he did not trim his hair, his address here he congress. His sledgehammer fell thick and fast on all sides, and he gave each race its dies. Of Rev. Richard Corrall, who conceived, called and planned the congress, we cannot say too much. He certainly worked hard and deserved the success that attended his efforts. He spared neither himself, his time, his money, nor anything else, in order that the white people of the State in particular, and the South in general, might have an object lesson of the progress of his race given therein. And he succeeded. May he live for years to come and continue to think THIS OFFER WILL INTEREST YOU!

From The Oakland Sunshine, Miss Grace White graduated from the Oakland, High School last Thursday and entered the University of California at Berkley this week. Miss Grace is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. P. White, of 1985 Twenty-fourth street, who have made every possible sacrifice that their children grew in the presence of care that have ever entered the State University from Oakland. Mr. and Mrs. White have a son, who the first colored letter-carrier in How Tuskages Serves the Purpose. From The Tuskages Student. The school is exerting every influence possible in the direction of being of direct service to the colored farmers of the state, and especially those of Macon County. Through its annual Negro Conference, and Hot, the Short Course in Agriculture and the monthly Farmer's Institute, it seeks to directly reach the farmers. At this time we especially wish to call to the attention of the students of the school which is regularly issued by the school's Experiment Station. The Bulletin No. 10, which deals with the mating of the sweet potato crop, is full of information which is particularly useful to the war. The curse of this farm is one of the most vexing problems with which Southern farmers have to deal, and it behooves each one of them to get just an ample information on the crop, as such the Bulletin No. 10, which can be had free of charge by requesting some from Professor George W. Carrier, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., contains the results and conclusions reached after an experimental covering a period of five years. We hope that many of the farmers will send for this bulletin. Another bulletin, No. 9, which can be secured from the same address, deserves special attention. This bulletin is written by Mr. F. H. Cardoza, who is in charge of the school's orchard, and is full of valuable information. We hope the farmers in Macon County will secure their own orchards of the fruit alone so, and give them a thorough and careful study. Iowa Miners Buying Land. From The Rivers Garage. It is a pleasure as well as a relief to turn from the murder of last week and notice another side of the conduct of our Burton people. In studying thus fact it is well to note that your fifths of the people of Burton are not the same. In all the six years that this has been a town not one lynching, not one case of rape has been committed. Now this is a record that we are proud of. There are not many mining towns in the country, but in both these respects. Another fact that is known to but few people. There are miners here who are buying land. Some in Iowa, some in Dakota, others in Arkansas, and others in Wyoming. My City, in well. It is excellent. We whish more were doing these things. A Carnegie Library for a Texas Upland From The Wiley Reporter. The masons began laying brick on the Carnegie Building Monday, Jan. 21. The concrete base put in the week before had thoroughly hardened, so the brick laying began without fear of ill effects. Mr. Geo. Davenport, who superintendent of the work with our own Mr. H. C. Hudson as assistant. Our class in brick-masonry composed of eight of our best boys, in at work learning the trade. We hope to have them advanced by the work in brick-masonry, which will have been in demand by players' work in the erection of the Boyt Dormitory, which we plan to begin next September. Paying the Poll Tax in Texas No duty should be more impressive upon us than that of bearing our part of the burden of running the government. Paying of poll tax is part of that burden, and every Negro should have it. And it should be a sacred duty, priestess and honored. The right of suffrage was purchased at the price of years of toll and the sacrifice of tenning thousands of lives of the Negro is to cause those noble heroes who championed our cause to die in vain. Aside from this, a large percentage of the money raised by the poll tax is for education. The public school system that is the pride of Texas, and to which so many of us use what we possess in the way of education can only be maintained by the help of every man of voting agreeing his whole duty, paying his poll tax thus arming himself with the sacred ballot, and on election day casting an honest vote in the interest of the protection of his home and those dependent upon him. No Handout, But a Huntle All the Time. From The Portland (Ore.) Autoactive Some of the younger generation of their generation should be going around with their mitt out and forever looking for somebody to hand them out something. Every one of these whelps should be as smart as the right for the older generation to adopt tactics like that, for they knew no better, and of course the acts were exe- cuable. But the young generation should also be smart, and should get out and bustle for a living and stand upon their own feet, as other races are com- pelled to do, and stop leaning around for something to turn up. If something turns up, Karn to turn something up yourself.

A large crowd of parents and friends assembled at the Morrow Industrial Institute Friday, the 1st host, to witness the literary exercises. These exercises are doing much in planting in the hearts of our young men and women a greater thirst for literature. The school was very agreeably surprised during the later part of January, by a donation of $100 from Mr. E. Morrow (white), the founder of our town. Mr. Morrow is one of those southern white men, and our parish, St. Landry, is favored with quite a number of them, who believe that the Negro should given a chance to better his condition. In an address to the principal and other officials of the school, Mr. Morrow said: "We taught to work above all things, but I also believe that he should be given as much education as he can possibly get, would rather deal with an educated Negro than to deal with an uneducated Negro." Prof. W. B. Randle, principal of the Morrow Public School, made a business trip to Opelousas last Saturday. Prof. I. B. Randle, principal of School at Palmetto, was in town Sunday. Misses Lietta Mills, of Morgan City, La., and Miss Cecilia M. Dumas of Natchez, Miss., were the guests of Miss Tullah Millinery, principal of the Mt. Olive Graded School. Dumans is an expert in hat making, and has been engaged in teaching a class in Opelousas. Millinery is a much needed art among our young women, for indeed they wear it. We have the prominent their head dressing, and not one cent of this expenditure goes to a colored milliner, because there is so few of them. Prof. H. R. P. Johnson, Dr. D. R. Gibson, Prof. J. R. Johnson, Dr. D. R. Gibson, men and women of our town during the work for the Crescent City, where King Rex will visit his subjects on the 21st inst. We hope while there to make the new York Age introduced to many persons on whom it has hitherto been a stranger. Death of a Newspaper Skunk and the Moral. From The New York Evening Post. There is an element of grisly humor in the dispatch that the Atlanta News, the paper which has offered a reward of a thousand dollars to any white man who could produce proof that he had personally killed a negro rabid, has gone into bankruptcy. If a lyncher had called to collect his blood money, the paper could not have paid it. That its campaign of anti-negro sensationalism which, more than any other one thing, as the preeminent of the grand Atlantic City mob, for Art Attellio riot, was nothing but an attempt to boost the circulation of (O) English's super, acutely needs further confirmation. The owners has been such as to make its former policy under John Temple Graves appear conservative and conciliatory. The journalism in creating and fostering by every known device the sentiment of race hatred, which the South's real leaders have, is to win financial success or to predicate its failure to win financial success or to methods is therefore, not a matter of mere local or professional interest.

Miserable Democrats of Oklahoma In some way not explained the miserable Democrats secured a majority in the Constitutional Convention, now in session, and have muddled matters as usual. The convention has adopted a separate car law, left open the right to maintain separate schools for blacks and whites, and made intermarriage between blacks and whites and blacks and Indians illegal. It is clear enough that Oklahoma cannot come in to the Union with such a Constitution. The Republican majority in Congress will not, because it cannot adopt it, and if it should President Roosevelt could not approve, it without lying in the face of his lifelong record, especially as Governor of New York State. "Talkers" and "Floaters." It is just like trying to work out a Chinese puzzle to understand how a great many "prominent" Afro-Americans live and have their being. Many of them do not seem to have any permanent abiding place or occupation, but spend their time in going from one point to another, similarly, talking all of the time, and taking care of everybody's business except their own. They are loaded with "advice" and explode it with and without solicitation, in season and out of season. They know it all, unmindful of the good saw that the best way to show others how to succeed is to succeed yourself. The "foaster" and the "talker" are unequal members. They do not even contribute anything to their own support. A great many of this sort of people have come to New York of late. All of the cities of the North and the West have a colony of them. They are creating sentiment against the race in all directions, for they circulate freely, like bad coin. Loud of mouth, flashy of clothes, obtusive and uppish—what is to be done with them? Bad Conditions in the District of Columbia. An Afro-American woman contributed a readable article to a recent number of The New York Independent upon conditions in Washington as they concern our race. This contribution is illuminating as well as sad. She brings out with great clearness and pathos the fact that Afro-Americans are excluded from theatres, hotels and restaurants, and, in certain cases, compelled to ride in jim crow cars; and are not employed as clerks in white men's stores. Now, the question which presents itself to an intelligent mind is this: The Civil Rights bill originally drafted by Charles Sumner and adopted with modifications by the Congress, is now in full force in the District of Columbia. This bill plainly prevents discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, in hotels, restaurants and public places. It is a fair conclusion that, in proportion to the number of Afro-Americans in that city, there are more college and university men and women in the District of Columbia than in any other similar extent of territory in the United States; that is to say, there is presumably more intelligence in the masses than among any other equal number of Afro-Americans. If, armed with the Civil Rights bill and all of their intelligence, they cannot have the laws enforced, how do those or any other members of the race expect to have the laws now on the statute books enforced in the far South, or what hope is there for future laws being enforced in the far South? There are no people in the whole country so eloquent in telling others what to do to protect their rights as are the Afro-American leaders in the District of Columbia. What we advise now is that they bottle up their eloquence for a while, or employ it showing the race what can be done to enforce the laws in the District of Columbia. With so much intelligence there, it should be possible for the people to get some concert of action and dollars for the enforcement of their rights under the law. If the provisions of the Summer Civil Rights law cannot be enforced in the District of Columbia, what is the use of clamoring for Federal laws to secure rights now denied by Southern State laws? The Independent article is not only illuminating but sad; because in the District of Columbia there are over 80,000 Afro-Americans who are not only intelligent but handle a great deal of money. It is wrong, it is unjust, it is un-American for any discrimination to be practiced in violation of law. But why do not these 80,000 get together and establish hotels and restaurants where any one, regardless of race or color, can be accommodated? Is it necessary for 80,000 intelligent people to be dependent on the whims and prejudice of other people? If a first-class hotel or restaurant were established in the District of Columbia, it would receive the patronage of all races. Let the Afro-American people of the District of Columbia stop kicking about shortcomings and longcomings of others and begin to kick some about their own. As to the complaint that white men will not employ colored women in their stores, why do not Afro-Americans in the District of Columbia come together and organize a large dry goods store, where they can employ clerks and bookkeepers of any race? Why should they be continually complaining of the whims of the white man? We THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1907. do not believe it would be possible for 80,000 members of any other race to live in a city and stand discrimination that the Afro-Americans people stand in the District of Columbia, without banding themselves together and making a determined effort to help themselves in the vital matters complained of by the correspondent of The Independent. The Italian Black Hand. Our Italian fellow-citizens, of whom New York has a very large number, continue to give the police a lot of trouble. The variegated assortment of offences against the law which they commit with increasing frequency are punched under the general term "Black Hand." In order to keep up with the activities of the Black Hand the police department of New York has had to institute a detective bureau composed entirely of Italians, and the force promises to grow to large proportions. The Black Hand appears to be out mostly for blackmail, for revenge of one sort and another, and for pure fun Fends brought from the Old Country, also, under the revenge head, play a conspicuous part. Most of the activities of the Black Hand are directed against Italians, for which other sorts of Americans are becoming grateful. The weapons are usually dynamite, the stiletto and the pistol; but of late we notice that the dear razor is also flourished with splendid effect. This is one of the most alarming phases of the situation. The razor is one of the most dangerous weapons in the hands of an expert that can be made to get nervous. A dozen of them real busy in a crowded room can do more execution than forty stilettoes. We have great respect for a razor outside the hands of a barber, this latter being the only promer person to use it. And we would like to know why the Italians have taken up the razor. Why can't they be satisfied with the stiletto? Do they want to get away from their race, by partial neglect of the native weapons of slaughter? We have not seen any demand by outraged citizens that the Italians should be driven out of New York because of their activity as criminals. The police can handle them all right, is the general belief. And the police can do it, if they will attend to their business, with all sorts of criminals, in New York and in every place in the Republic, without the assistance of private citizens, who pay taxes to maintain the police for that very purpose. Jamestown Exposition Backward. From what we can learn of the Afro-American department of the Jamestown Exposition, nothing has been done on the Negro Building but the securing of the plans for the erection of the building. Little has been done in securing exhibits. It will be a great calamity to the race if the Afro-American exhibit is not a success. It is not so difficult to get buildings erected, but the getting together of a proper exhibit is one of the most difficult of things. We cannot afford to go to Jamestown to exhibit crazy quilts, pumpkins, and that sort of things; we must have something to show what the race has accomplished. Rather than have a poor exhibit at a Fair which will be attended by representatives from all over the world, it will be better to abandon the whole business. It is now just about five months before the exhibition opens, and if those in charge can erect a building and secure a proper exhibit during that time they will deserve all sorts of medals voted by Congress and the rest of mankind. The Japanese Question The address of Viscount Hayashi, recently, in which he declared that in the failure of the Washington administration to adjust satisfactorily the San Francisco school dispute the anti-Japanese movement in the West will have to be dealt with diplomatically, appears to have led to the conclusion that Japan has no hostile intentions; but other interpretations have been placed on his words, and the Washington administration has been so much wrought up by the newer turn of affairs that the President last week held a conference with the California delegation in Congress, when it was agreed to ask the school authorities of San Francisco to come to Washington for consultation, while the Governor of California has asked the Legislature and the San Francisco schoolboard to do nothing to further aggravate the situation until after the conclusion of the efforts in progress at Washington to reach a satisfactory solution of the dispute. But it is on the face of the situation a very grave matter and not easily adjusted by compromise, as what the Japanese demand is equality in the treatment of their children in the public schools of San Francisco. They are entitled to this, and they are not disposed to accept anything short of it. Of course, the agitation against the Japanese in California, where there are but a very few of them, was started and has been kept alive by the labor element of the coast—the same element which under Denis Kearney, whom the writer knew well when they worked together years ago on The New York Evening Sun, organized the sentiment against the Chinese which resulted in the adoption of the Chinese Exclusion Act by Congress, and treatment of the Chinese on the Pacific Coast by the immigration authorities as if they were so many brutes, instead of human beings. The same influences now dominate in the politics of San Francisco and California, and threaten to embroil the country in a war. A roll call of the men who are at the head of affairs in the government of San Francisco who have brought about the trouble with Japan and stand in the way of an amicable adjustment of it is significant and pathetic. Here it is, in part: Mayor Schmitz, President of School Board Walsh, Superintendent Ron Driver. There you have a true American poet-pourriant composed of a German, an Irishman and an Italian, people who have just got into the country by way of the Atlantic, or who were preceded by their fathers only a few years ago, fleeing from the governmental tyranny and economic hardships of European States, desiring to keep out the Anatolians through the Pacific, who want to come here for the same purpose that Scholars and his sort came. We are not opposed to foreigners or to foreign immigration, but we are opposed to the dictation by them of policies in politics and economics which are contrary to democratic principles and fairplay in labor, which invariably carries with it as a fundamental of its ethics that black and yellow and red people have no right to eat bread out of the sweet of their faces. If the Anatolians are to be barred out of the country by way of the Pacific then we insist that the Europeans should be barred out of the country by way of the Atlantic. When The New York Times, in the effort, to smooth over the wrinkled front of international relations, insists that opposition to the Japanese is a local question with California, as far as the school question is concerned, it must know that it is far ahead of the truth. The Pacific Coast States and the Southern States are a unit in separating the Chinese and Japanese in all of the relations of life, and in a showdown would vote as a unit that way. There should be no observation of the truth as to that fact. Indeed, one of the peculiar and disgusting facts in the situation is that Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, the American Ambassador to Japan, has no more use for a Japanese or Chinaman than Denis Kearney had or Mayor Schmitz has, and would not want to entertain even Viecourt Hayashi in his Memphis home, and would vote against the admission of a Japanese child to the white public schools of Memphis, if he were in that city when such a proposition was voted upon. To send such a man as that as American Ambassador to the Japanese Government was one of the queerest proceedings in our diplomatic history, except the sending of Henry M. Smyth of Virginia, as Minister to Hayti by President Cleveland. Philip A. Payton. In another column of THE Age to day we reproduce from The Record and Guide a short article by Mr. Philip A. Payton bearing upon the publication in The Age of last week concerning the case instituted by Mr. Crowder, a dismissified stockholder in the Afro-American Realty Company. Mr. Payton is entitled to the publication of his statement of the case. The fact that differences exist in the Afro-American Realty Company is nothing, unusual; they exist in all sorts of corporations. But the fact that the company earned 15 per cent, last year is sufficient evidence that the interests of the stockholders are properly looked after by Mr. Payton and his associate officers in the management of the affairs of the Company. The disagreements come and have come over the management, and in this case, as in all similar cases, the stock who owns a majority of the stock will dictate the policy of the Company. The other fellow may not like this, and may go to court about it, but he will usually have to accept the situation against which he kicks and pay the costs of court besides. Mr. Payton has demonstrated that he has a genius for the real estate business in which he has made remarkable success, and in which his honesty has not been questioned; and it is to be regretted that misunderstandings in the management of the Afro-American Realty Company, based upon bad blood rather than bad policy, which the success of the company upholds, should take the form of court proceedings. Mr. Payton has made a signal success as a real estate operator in New York. While helping the race to secure hallitations which heretofore it could not touch for love or money, he has had to pay higher for his options than white dealers and the tenants have in turn had to make good the difference: That is the way the matter works in all questions of supply and demand. We have great admiration for the abilities Mr. Payton displays in his real estate operations. We believe that while looking after his own interests, as every man should, he has a loyal desire to be of service to his people in securing good housings. The grandson of Albert Gallatin, who was famous as a Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Jefferson and Madison, and grandson of the Albert Gallatin who established the Gallatin National Bank of New York, got married last week, and gave his occupation as "a gentleman without occupation." His busy ancestors must have had an uncomfortable minute while he was writing the queer declaration, which in this country few men will acknowledge, although common enough in Europe. And Albert Gallatin without occupation, if he resided in Atlanta, would come under the vagrant law and might fetch up in the chalkgang. Mr. John E. Millholland, the head of the Constitutional League, is going sheed perfecting plans for the defense of the soldiers. What has become of the effort to care for the three discharged Afro-American Companies? Our understanding was that one was to be cared for in New York, one in Philadelphia, and one in Chicago. We would like to know how the soldiers are getting along. Are they being supplied with clothing, food and shelter by the patriotic Afro-American citizens? The Postal receipts of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, were greater last year than the Postal receipts of the entire republic of Liberia. There will be a great day for the Afro-American people which a larger number of well trained men took a commercial direction career. There is an opportunity in the section of the country for such men with skills in raising a horse, to establish stores, books, and what not. Whidling this, the race need not overlap its political and other rights. We should make progress in all directions. The New York Aldermen are always in hot water. They seem to take to crooked ways as ducks take to water. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE INVESTIGATED BY ALABAMA LEGISLATURE The School Has Nothing to Fear—What It Needs is Intelligence, Trust and People That Can Help It Montgomery, ALA, January 30.—A resolution has just been passed by the two houses of the State Legislature of Alabama, calling for an investigation of the methods of Booker Washington's school at Tuskegee. While it is safe to say that there is nothing in the management of the Tuskegee Institute that should lead to any fear of an investigation, the attitude of the Alabama Legislature in demanding it shows that it is not thought that anything wrong will be deceived, but that an opportunity is offered to in some way embarrass the institution. The people who reside in the State of Alabama, are not in the slightest degree disturbed by the passage of this resolution, because it is well known that the State Examiner, each year, visits all of the institutions to which the State gives any money, for the purpose of looking through their accounts. It has been but a short time since the Examiner reported in The Montgomery Advertiser, published here, that not only did he find the accounts of Tuskegee Institute in every way satisfactory, but that the system of accounting was quite as advanced as that employed anywhere he had been. Booker T. Washington, in 1876, expected, has already said in an interview that every facility will be made for an investigation. When it is recalled that the State of Alabama appropriates but $4,500 of the $200,000 annually needed for the school's current expenses, it will just how much real and unreal interest is back of this proposed investigation. There are some colored people (mostly in the North; we are glad to state), who find pleasure in criticizing and seeking to destroy the Tinkegee school and in accusing the Tinkegee principal of pandering to the South, where they were true, as they state, it seems quite clear that these Southerners would not be disposed to embarrass the work of one so thoroughly in accord with them. The colored people of Alabama who know Dr. Washington best feel sure that they are not condemned by his way, whether praised by the white people of the North or the South, whether condemned by either section, or whether praised or condemned by members of his own race. He has charted his own course—the one which he thinks is the right one and the one he thinks is the wrong one, his best interests both races in the South, and he cannot and will not be swerved from his course. Tunkegue has done more to spread the fame of Alabama than any other educational institution located in the State and the nation. It is one of the part of its support from Northern people, who, it may be stated in passing, seem quite satisfied with the present conduct of the school. The true inwardness of the school is that it is in an editorial in one of the leading papers of the State, The Birmingham Ledger, which, in a recent editorial says: "Of course if the State of Alabama appariates and money to the Booker Warner school it is right to know how the money is used." "There should be no war made on the school. If the Legislature wishes to refuse the appropriation it can do so. The Warner school is considered in connection with the millions of money owned by the school. The State does not support the school, nor materially help it. Except for the principle involved no doubt should Washington be involved if the State declined to give his school anything." "It would be a bad incident to make that school appropriation the foundation for a lot of folly in the Legislature in the shape of speeches against the education of the Negro. The Ledger does not care a rap what people of other States and women do in public regard for public opinion is a wholesome and a proper thing—to shape our policy to please people in other sections of the Union is shame. "Let the Legislature do what it is going to do and be done with it, but spare us a lot of flub-dub that will make the State ridiculous. Above all, he represents the opinion of Governor Comer, who has expressed himself as being opposed to this silly clamor, and the opinion of hundreds of representative Alabamians." NOTE AND COMMENT. Many of our men and women of intelligence endeavor to place themselves on all sides of every proposition. You never know where to find them. They have one opinion when they talk with A, another opinion when they talk with B; and, if C comes along a few hours later with still another proposition, they will agree with C. It is best for all people to think for themselves, and to stand one way. The man who tries to make himself popular with all men will fall to make himself popular with man. The world respects a man who stands out for principle, regardless of opposition. After having had the time of his life in a New York theatre, recently, as we have related, the Stage Irishman went to Brooklyn last week and as soon as he showed his head above the footlights he was received with an avalanche of rotten eggs and much over-ripe fruit of all sorts. Twenty people were arrested for their part in the reception. But a promise has been registered that the Stage Irishman may expect to get such a reception every time from now on wherever he may appear. The Georgia poor white trash who has suggested that the Democrat nominate as their Presidential ticket Theodore Roosevelt of New York and Hoke Smith of Georgia must be a break in fall. Outside of Georgia Hoke Smith would drag to defeat in the popular voting the whole tribe of Roosevelt, who occupy a large space on the map of New York, from Lake Erie to Montauk Point. And Mr. Roosevelt has declared that he will not be a Presidential candidate again. We cannot understand why the citizens of Washington do not have an Afro-American bank. Banks are now being organised in every State in the Union. It seems to us that Washington, with all the brains and opportunities centered there should not be behind Minnesota and Arkansas, and other Southern states. Two failures in the past do not count. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." The Hon. Jeff Davis has been elected a Senator in Congress from Arkansas. The Hon. James K. Vardaman of Mississippi has hopes. When these two join the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman in Washington the Federal Senate will be one of "the greatest shows on earth" for sure. "Scores of mass meetings have been held throughout the country within the last few months to collect money for the soldiers. How much has been raised, who has it, and what is going to be done with it? Don't all speak at once." IN THE PUBLIC EYE PROF. W. S. SCABBOROUGH. AUTHOR OF A GREEK GRAMMAR, "THE BIRDS OF ARIENOPHANES," AND POPULAR WRITER. OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS THREATEN TO ENACT BAD LAWS Secretary Jordan of the Afro-American Council Wants the People to Wake Up. LOUCHEVILLE, KY., February 4.—In company with President Walters and Attorney Wetmore, I called on Senator Foraker, during January. His noble soul goes out for the dishonorably discharged men of the Twenty-fifth U. S. Regiment. The justice he seeks will come. The American people as a whole, are too just to allow a great wrong to 10,000,000 of their number, be they black or white, pass without proper investigation. We are interested in the soldiers, and more than that in the principle of justice involved that will be too far-reaching in its effect to go undefended. Lieutenant Flipper, who is now living under another flag, and Cadet Whitaker, who had his ear cut off in a hazing bee, would be as honored to-day by the American Government as Captain Dreyfus is by the French, if the Negro had stood by them like the Jews stood for Dreyfus. Our failure in that has seen us steadily beaten back and back until the Negro cannot enter a military academy in this country. Nearly every State has disbanded their Negro militia, and this stroke of the President has put a mountain in the Negro's pathway that must be scaled before he can enter as formerly the United States Army. Again, I say, unless we make a just contention, aided by Senator Foraker and white friends, North and South, it will affect the Negro a hundred years hence. Interest friends in the struggle for justice and make yourself responsible for $5. Give or collect it and send it to the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., or True Reformers' Bank, Richmond, Va., or True Reformers' cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank or Mr. R. T. Hill cashier of the True Reformers' Bank will receipt you. Do not delay, but act, and act at once. The investigation has been ordered by the United States Senate. Now, if the Negro is called to trial and is not ready, all we have fought for, all Senator Foraker has won, will be lost. The constitution to be adopted by the new State of Oklahoma. The clause making legal "Jim Crow" cars is to be submitted to a vote of the people separate from other articles. Had the Council money, we could organize and defeat that act. We must do something to help our Oklahoma brethren. For the race to surrender without an entreaty, we should be to big cowards for any decent man to fight for. A prominent man writing from the State of Arkansas, says: "The most troublesome thing that we have on our hands at present is the Arkansas Legislature. They are grinding away slowly but surely, trying as best they can to uphold the constitution and constitutional rights. They have already introduced a servant's bill which, in my opinion, if enacted, will be pure and simple, peonage. They have also introduced the segregation bill, which means, if enacted into law, the denial of a vast number of Negro children the right and privilege of a public school education. They act summum up in a shell man, involuntary servitude and ignorance." Let all differences of denomination or churches, past successes or failures of any racial organization be forgotten in this hour of our racial death grapple with the most outrageous wrong ever done 10,000,000 people. It is in striking contrast to the L. G. Jostow Not Sentenced but a Convict. Curroll Daniel, a Dalasi county Negro, has been working at hard labor in the State penitentiary for the last ten months, despite the fact that there is no court sentence standing against him. Daniel was convicted of assault with intent to murder and sentenced to serve twenty years, a sentence which was subsequently changed to ten years. He was denied a new trial but on appeal was granted a superdean by the court, which should have operated to keep him in jail until his case was finally disposed of. But the prison commission received no notice of the superdean, and sent a guard to take him to the penitentiary. That was on March 20, 1004. On November 7, 1004, the supreme court granted Daniel a new trial, but he was not brought back from the Walker county penitentiary camp, where he was sent, and where he is still working at hard labor, despite the fact that he is not now and never has been under sentence. Tomlinson Fort, one of Daniel's attorneys, says it is up to the State to have Daniel back to Hawkwellville to stand his new trial. He says if Daniel is acquitted he will be able to move to the legislature to compensate his client for the time he has been kept forcibly at labor. AMERICAN SPECTATOR BOWS— Thinks Our Orators Should Change the Subjects of Tolkh and Hit Upnome- sion If one wants to be made to feel real sick and disconcertate, he should have the experience of sitting in an Afro-American meeting and hearing two or three Negro speakers speak for two or three hours describing the llls of the Negro race. The chances are, nine out of ten, that during the entire three hours that he may listen to these speeches, not one of the speakers will relate a single fact in connection with the race that everyone in the audience was not previously acquainted with; not only that, the chances are the most of those in the audience will have experienced the very injustice and wrongs which the speakers are describing. Most of the audience could describe better the evils under which the race lives than the speakers themselves. If any one thing in life is certain, it seems to the American Spectator, it is the sheerest waste of time for so many of our people to spend so much of their valuable hours in listening to these descriptions. No one goes away from such a meeting inspired; no one goes away knowing a single thing that he did not know before. If these speakers would point out some practical method of remedying conditions it would be quite a different thing; but they confine themselves, in most cases, to an attempt, and they are usually successful, to work on the emotions of the audience, which is wrought up to a high pitch of fervor and enthusiasm through a description of worms; but as soon as the meeting is over everyone grows conscious of the fact that not a single new thing has been heard by the audience, that the speaker has taught no lesson, that the people who have heard him are not any more prepared to fight life's battles than they were before; in fact, not as well prepared, because, in many cases, they go away completely discouraged. The time has come, in the opinion of the American Spectator, when much of this policy should be changed. The race should not fall to recognize the wrongs under which it suffers, but it should devote more of its time and energy to finding ways to make progress in the commercial, educational, moral and religious world, just as other races are doing, despite the wrongs under which they live. An old colored man down in Mississippi a few days ago paid an admission fee of twenty-five cents to hear a lecture delivered by a very prominent individual of our race. After he had listened for an hour and a half to a description of the wrongs under which the Afro-Americans in Mississippi and elsewhere were living, the old man expressed himself, in this way, that if he had known the speaker had come there for the purpose of telling about the wrongs of the race, he could have delivered a much better lecture on that subject than was true of the learned gentleman on the platform. And so it is throughout the country. Our people are fast getting to the point where they are tired and sick of the eternal calling of the attention of the country to their sickness and wrongs. There are not a few members of our race who try to make their living by going about through the country reminding the race of the wrongs under which it suffers. In some places the race makes no effort to go forward in the direction that other races are making progress, because it has gotten into the habit of crying, and can do nothing else.

THEBLACKDIAMONDCOMPANY NOW A MILLION DOLLAR CONCERN AND ROCKFELLER'S PARTNER. A Chicago Corporation of Afro-Americans Operating in Kansas Oil Fields Under Aristotle Charter Which Appears to be Making Good-Increased Capitalization Made Necessary by Success-Increase of Leaseholds—The Office. CHICAGO, January 27.—One of the most interesting business enterprises undertaken by colored people in the West and developed by them beyond the status of a mere "scheme," in the Oil and Gas Company, known as The Black Diamond Development Company of Chicago. The present condition of this company is such that it is possible to speak of and explain its development without being under the suspicion of advertising a business in order to secure popular favor and patronage. Some reference to the organization of The Black Diamond Development Company appeared in THE AGE some months ago, and it may perhaps be of interest to your reader to know what became of this company, or some report as to its progress. On the evening of the 21st instant the annual meeting of the stockholders was held, for the purpose of electing a new board of directors for the ensuing year and listening to the reports that told in detail what a few earnest colored men under competent leadership, have been able to accomplish in one year. October 24, 1803, this company received a charter from the Territory of Arizona and acquired capital of the 500,000, divided into 500,000 shares of the par value of one ($1.00) dollar per share, fully paid and non-assessable. The officers of the company were: Rev. A. J. Carey, president; S. Laiing Williams, secretary and attorney; Dr. A. W. Williams, treasurer; L. L. Jones, vice-president; F. A. W.ascott, field manager; and Prof. H. T. Kealing. The company thus organized purchases of gas and oil southeast Kansas, near the tow not Chanute, Neocha County, and at once entered into a contract for the digging of five gas wells. The contract price for the 90-year lease for the property and the five wells to be developed was $15,000. To raise this amount of money the company had no other means than that of selling stock. There were no wealthy colored people to undertake project of the favorable or attractive. The people of this city, like many others, have been so frequently swindled, deceived and defrauded out of their hard-earned savings by all kinds of stock schemes, that this new company had a difficult task before them of making friends and inspiring confidence. The high character of the men who were sponsors for the enterprise finally won over enough stock buyers to employ them. The coming in of the first well less than a year ago sent a thrill of hope and confidence to the hearts of the more timid stock subscribers. The well was estimated as being one of the biggest wells in the Territory. The other five wells followed at intervals from one to two months apart. Each well exceeded the previous one in volume and force. The five wells are the most remarkable group of wells ever dug. They are the talk of the Territory. The gas-producing capacity of these wells is estimated to be from two to ten millions of cubic feet a day. As an evidence of the value of the company's development, it was offered $10,000 for its lease right after the first well came in. On the coming in of the third well $30,000 was offered, but all these offers have been refused. The next stage in the development of the company was to find a purchaser for its gas. This proved to be a comparatively easy proposition. The reputation of the company's wells had traveled far and wide and several offers were made to purchase the entire product. The fact that the use of natural gas for fuel and the filtration of gas lines on pipe lines in every direction, coveying the natural product to cities like Kansas City, have given a substantial boom to gas values. The largest company in the field is known as the "Kansas Natural," which is only another name for the Standard Oil Company. The Chicago colored company has succeeded in securing a contract from this all-powerful company for the purchase of their entire output. This contract has been duly signed and ratified by both parties, and I think it is safe to say that this is the first colored company in this country to be able to bring a party to contract with the Rockefeller interests. It is expected that within thirty days the pipe line connections will be completed and this company of colored stockholders will be selling gas for the use of Kansas City people. As gratifying as are the above-mentioned results, it is scarcely more than half the story of this wonderful enterprise. As soon as the company completed the contract for the digging of five wells on the eighty acres of gas lands as on the eighty acres of land under the unity of securing the household rights of nearly six hundred (600) acres of additional gas lands, contiguous to its original holdings, and has entered into contract for the immediate digging of twenty-five (25) additional gas and oil wells. This new territory was acquired by a twelve coup on April 4th our corporation field company Mr. F. A. W. Mcott. With this additional holding, the company is now rated as one of the big companies of the field. The contract with the Standard Oil Company provides for the purchase of all of the company's product from all of its lands now held or to be acquired. Thus in one year's time the company has become an enormous value and a constant and reliable outlet or market for the entire output of its gas and oil. The success of the Black Diamond Development Company has become a matter of general local pride among the colored people of this city. An interesting feature of this successful enterprise is that ninety per cent. of the stockholders are among the colored people. Of the $21,000 raised and spent during the year in the development and purchase of the company's property nine-tenths of it has come out of the pockets of people who earn their living in the lower occupations of life. In other words, the success of this company is the success of the small stockholders and the characters of the company are still managing the company's interests is a guaranty against unfair dealings in stock manipulations. The company has been especially fortunate in having its manager a man, in the person of Mr. Fred A. Wescott, of paranormal intelligence and of the highest integrity, intelligence and relationships in this city and Kansas is guaranty that the company's interests will be properly and wisely safeguarded. It should be mentioned that the company has grown so large in assets that it become necessary to repurchase at $100,000, so that The Black Diamond Management Agent Company is now a real mall third street company, with sufficient as to簿簿簿 necessary to make it more than a retail paper valuation. taff leadership and intelligent management, leader among the directors, faith on to treasury stockholders, and extraor the Managers. dinary good luck have all been on the side of the wonderful upgrowth of this remarkable company. The influence of this company is bound to have an important bearing on the future business interests of our people in the Northwest. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. LONDON, January 26—The yellow peril, or move particularly, racial prejudice aggravated by the immigration of Chinese and Japanese to the western world, continues to be discussed prominently by the serious press. The Speecher-to-day takes a rather alarmist view and argues that the white Powers should speed up such deeds to understand on the subject with China and Japan. says, after reviewing the California situation: "The trouble has only just commenced, but it may rapidly become serious. The yellow peoples are very proud and very sensitive. They do not acknowledge an as for example the Negroes have hitherto due to the discrimination between themselves and white men, and not acknowledge it, the weight of argument is entirely on their side. They do not even understand why their intrusion is disliked, and they see their way to contingencies, for as instance a great European war; develop into active hostilities. "The subject should therefore be dealt with before the Governments have caught fire and while the classes in both sets of countries are prepared to listen to reasonable arguments. These arguments should be presented to the races, that the races will for the present at all events do well to keep apart. Their instinctive hostility, or shall we say jealousy, may and probably will gradually die away, but it has lasted for ages and has become in the course of those ages the first conditions of thought and feeling among us, making a just equality of treatment for the moment nearly impossible." A BETTER ROLL OF HONOR. Than a List of Places Filled in Political Office. From The New York Times. The Sun yesterday summarized the work of some living American Negroes who have achieved distinction.

The Monies of his race, Booker Talafero Washington, is in the prime of life. Dr. Chapman's Revival in Des Moines. From The Afro-American Presbyterian When the company of twenty evangelists and singers arrived, Dr. C. LeLroy Butler, an educated Christian gentleman, was in the number. A large congregation filled the Corinthian Baptist church for the first service, and all enjoyed the sermon and the novelty of being together. The remaining services were held at St. Paul A. M. E. church, except those of Sunday morning and nights which were held in the Corinthian baptisterian church (white) where the auditorium much larger than in our churches. Dr. Butler preached the simple gospel with no attempt at excitement. The most unlearned could understand. The messages were thoughtful and forceful. Aged members of the church were among the most active workers. There have been many numbers have been added to the churches, and there is evident a quickened spiritual life in the churches. It does not appear that the white and colored people are further apart. They appear closer together. The separate district for colored people has simply taken in the color of a condition already existing. The colored pastors and colored pastor were already there when their peculiar lines. But when white and colored pastors felt they were all workers in the common cause of soul saving, there was a fellowship never before experienced. colored pastors received courtesies never before received them and the white people generally seemed to be interpreting the spirit of Jesus into life in their relations to our people. It is agreed that Dr. Chapman does know how to select an evangelist for the colored people. The people may want a great excitement but they need the simple gospel. It made its way in Des Moines. LITTLE ROCK THRIVING Judge Gibbs at Top of Heap as Property. Owner—One of Heat Clubs in the Country. LITTLE ROCK, ARK., February 1. It is hardly possible for one who has not visited Little Rock to get an adequate idea of the progress of our people in this city. It is doubtful whether in any other city in the South or Southwest Afro-Americans are so thoroughly united and work in such perfect harmony in everything that tends to uphold the race. They are engaged in nearly every kind of business that the white race is engaged in. Their grocery stores, their bank, their office buildings, would reflect credit upon any race. Perhaps the largest holder of real estate is Judge M. W. Gibba. Many of the finest two and three-story brick buildings on the main streets are owned by him; besides, he is president of the Afro-American bank. In addition to all this, the Afro-American Little Rock have another claim, to distinguish themselves so far as your correspondent has been able to observe, they have the best men's club of any city in the South. They have a permanent club building, spacious, well planned, clean and attractive; it is open all the time for the accommodation of the members. It has a regular chef who men's up to the members and their friends. There is an atmosphere of refinement, intelligent and up-to-dateness about the club that is not met with elsewhere. When our people are inclined to grow disappointed, we will be well for them to spend two or three days in Little Rock. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1907. GERMS OF CONSUMPTION AND NOW THEY ARE SCATTERED One Hundred Thousand Victims of the White Plague Last Year—Contagious Disease Which Can Be Controlled. The Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the Charity Organization of the City of New York, Paul Kennday, secretary, has furnished THE ARE the following on the question of tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is the great urgent military problem of the new century. In no other direction can such large results be achieved so certainly and at such relatively small cost. The time is not far distant when those States and municipalities, which have not adopted a comprehensive plan for dealing with tuberculosis will be regarded as almost criminally negligent in their administration of sanitary affairs and inexcuably blind to their own best economic interests. This insidious disease which we call consumption, phthisis or tuberculosis of the lungs, is the most terrible destroyer of lives with which civilization has to contend. Within the last few years science has shown the nature of the disease and has clearly demonstrated its cause, new diseases and spreads, how it declines and dies. The time has now arrived when it becomes the duty of an sanitary authorities to assume a more aggressive attitude. In order to bring about a more intelligent interest on the part of the general public to the necessity of taking, proper precautions, municipal as well as individual, in relation to tuberculosis, some of the known and now generally accepted facts regarding the nature of this disease are to be home in mind The disease known as tuberculosis may attack any organ or tissue in the body. When it affects the lungs it is called pulmonary, tuberculosis, or consumption. In this form it causes about one-seventh of the lung damage in the human race, and omitting the disease dren up to fifteen years and adults after sixty, we find it causes about a quarter of all deaths, so that its ravages are most deadly at a period when the life of an individual is most useful. The death roll of tuberculosis in this State exceeded 30,000 last year in the United States it exceeds one hundred thousand every year. It has been proved beyond a doubt that a living germ called the tubercle bacillus is the cause, and the only cause, of tuberculosis. When these germs find their way into the body they multiply there, if conditions are favorable, for their growth they produce new growths or lesions (tubercles), which tend to soften. The disease of the softened tubercles, containing the new germs, are thrown off from the body via the lungs. In pulmonary tuberculosis the expectation discharges contain the germs, often in enormous numbers. It has been proved that in the course of twenty-four hours many millions of tubercle bacilli may be discharge under certain conditions by one person suffering from tuberculosis. The germs thus thrown off do not grow in the living body except under artificial conditions; they may and often do retain their viability until infiltration for long periods. As tuberculosis does not result from the action of these germs, it follows, from what has been said, that when the disease is acquired it must be acquired from receiving into the body the living germs that have come from some other human being or animal affected with the disease. Ordinarily the sputum of the consumptive is the means of feeding and communicating consumption. While the meat and milk of tubercular cattle are important sources of danger, yet the disease rule is acquired through its communication direct from man to man through the very general very dangerous practice of unnecessary spitting. The expectoration of tuberculous persons frequently lodges in places where it afterwards dries, as on handkerchiefs, clothing, carpets, floors, sidewalks or vehicles. After drying it is very apt in one way or another to become pulverized, and then, by means of wind, trailing skirts or clothing, floats in the air as dust. Pulmonary tuberculosis is usually produced by breathing in which the living germs are suspended as air trapped to dust; such dust may retain for weeks, or even months, or longer, its power of causing the disease. It should be distinctly understood that the element of danger is the dried and pulverized sputum, and not the breath of tuberculous patients or the moist sputum received into proper cups. The breath and moist sputum are practically free from the germs because the germs are not dislodged (from the colony surface. The act of coughing or sneaking may expel particles containing infective material. If all discharges were destroyed at the time of their exit, by far the greatest danger of communication from man to man would be removed. DEATH OF MR. BARRIER End of An Active and Successful Life of Great Usefulness. DETROIT, MICH., February 1.—The Afro Americans' of Detroit, Michigan, have lost one of their best known and most highly esteemed citizens in the untimely death of George A. Barrier, on Sunday evening, January 27. Death came with tragic swiftness and while he was apparently in the best of health and spirits. While walking home on Sunday evening with his wife, after visiting relatives and friends, he was suddenly attacked with shortness of breath and suffocation, and almost immediately passed away, apparently without the slightest premonition of the awful end. Mr. Barrier was the only son of Mrs. A. J. Barrier, of Brockport, N. Y., and brother of Miss Ella D. Barrier, of Washington, and Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams of Chicago. Beside his devoted life he is survived by an only daughter, Hattie A. Barrier, Dr. Fred A. Barrier, a dentist of Washington, and Robert A. Barrier, a student in the University of Michigan. Mr. Barrier had lived in the city of Detroit more than twenty-five years. He was active and prominent in the social and civic life of his adopted city, though he was host in Brockport, N. Y. His lovable disposition had gained him a host of brieps both among his associates and those in his employment. At the time of his death Mr. Barrier held a responsible position in the city service in the Department of Public Works, a position he had, held for many years. He had in his employ from time to time a large number of workmen, generally foreigners, but he had so endured himself to them by his uniform kindness and fine sense of justice, that on the day of his funeral scores of them came with bowed heads and sorrowing faces to pay homage to a man whom they all remembered for his kindness and manliness. Floral tributes in great profusion and of the most costly variety covered his life by way of carrying the sorrow and love of the many friends from all walks of life who both esteemed and loved him. Men of both races in office and private life who knew and loved Grace A. Barrier, stood about his casket and in fearful sorrow testified their esteem for him who was not only loved and honored, but who deserved it all in great abundance. F. B. W.

HARCOURT 422 Birth Avenue 26th Street, N. Y. THE GOOD WORK OF MISS KELLOR AFFIRMATES. Miss Kellor's Address at the Douglas Center—Recognizing Need of Benevolent Work in Chicago Among New Camerons Who Do Not Know the Dangers in the Lighten and Shadows of a Great City—Prevention Rather Than Reformation Best Foolery. Campsco, IL., February 4.—Miss Frances Keller, who has done so much important work in the study of criminology among Afro-Americans, spent a few days in Chicago last week as a guest of Miss Addams at Hull House. While here she addressed the members and friends of the Frederick Douglas Center. Miss Keller, by scientific study of this question, has thoroughly disposed of the all too easy presumptions and conclusions that the Afro-American has an exceptional tendency to claim forms of full sorts. Some years ago Miss Keller published a series of articles in The Chicago Tribune as the result of a personal and scientific investigation among the black belts of the South, confining her tests to the Negroes themselves. These articles contained some of the most interesting and convincing figures and data that have yet been published on this much discussed question. One of these publications was of Miss Keller's interest to change the whole current of thought thus giving us a better and clearer status on this question of crime amongst us, among the family of races. In her address before the Douglas Center Miss Kellor called particular attention to the number of colored young women who are coming every day into our large cities with no place to go and no knowledge of the perils of city life. She called attention to the fact that at every railway station in our large cities may be found the kindly face of some white women waiting to receive and if necessary rescue the white young woman. The doors of Christian Associations are wide open for them and other havens of welcome and peace offer them hospitality and refuge. For the colored girl there is an age of kindness to come waiting to save and protect her. Hundreds of places freely offer hospitality, mental and moral stimuli, to every other class of young people except the colored American. Plainly we must do these things for ourselves. It is a singular fact that we are deficient in ways and means for protecting our girls and bringing them into wholesome environments and under friendly and uplifting influences. We seem to be doing things in the same old unprogressive ways as when society was less complex and temptations less subtle. The city girl becomes a woman all too soon. She loses the bloom of girlishness while still a girl in years. They early crave the sensational and the unusual and lose all apprehension for simple joy and wholesome emotions. Sunday school has simply a rendezvous for frivolous exchange of greetings between the sexes, discussions of the latest dancing party or theatre, and an almost total ignorance of the Sunday lesson. It is no longer a question of locating the responsibility for this state of things, but how and where to apply the remedy. Miss Kellor's anxiety to save our girls for the higher responsibilities of pure womanhood should be heartily shared in and endorsed by those of us who are more or less responsible by neglect and indifference for the conditions complained of. For the wasted life of the fallen girl there is much to call forth pity rather than abuse and isolation. Let it be remembered that for every fallen woman there must be somewhere a fallen man. It is the duty of every good man and woman to work together in a common effort to raise the standard of virtue amongst us and to make the things that are lovely and of good repute more attractive than the paths of vice, however alluring they may seem. We seldom stop to consider what would be the result, if instead of pushing the unfortunate and erring into the corners, alleys and back streets, we should welcome them in places that contribute to the beauty and refinements of life and bring them under the influence and touch of human kindness. How much richer then the sum total of human life and happiness would become, is less important for preventive rather than reformatory effort; to find protect and teach the girl the difficult path of life in a large city, before, through ignorance, she has stumbled into the pitfalls that inevitably awit her. But these helpful agencies for which Miss Kellor pleads should also include the girls from good homes, whose parents through indifference and indulgence are allowing them to find and choose their own path of life, which is robbing them of the charm and beauty of girlhood and slowly, but surely, changing them. There are facts which should win an answering cry of proffered service from every friend of this upward struggling race of ours. DR. DUBOIS IN CHICAGO. Suggestion That He Tell What He Has Done to Help the Situation Since the Atlanta Riot. CHICAGO, February 5. Dr. DuBois of Atlanta, is to deliver a lecture in this city sometime in February. It is to be hoped in his lecture that Dr. DuBois will tell the people of Chicago what he has done to help the colored people in Atlanta and elsewhere in the South during the recent severe trials through which they have been passing. The Doctor has been located right in the center of the trouble, and so far no one in Chicago or elsewhere has heard of his turning over his hand to help his situation; on one occasion he helped to bring the Atlanta disturbance he was either in the North or in Calhoun, Ala., and did not return to Atlanta until everything was quiet and the battles had been fought. It is one thing for a man to stand up in the North and advise somebody else what to do, and invite another thing for him to stand by his guns in the midst of danger. Numbers of Afro-Americans in Atlanta have been doing heroic work since the riot in bringing about peace between the races. We have not heard of any other American attending one of these meetings or doing a single thing in order to bring about better conditions. Perhaps in his Chicago lecture he will explain all this to the public. CHECKS APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT. Republican Votes in House Committee Cast Against Sims Resolution on Brownsville Incident. WASHINGTON, February 1. The subcommittee of the Military Affairs Committee of the House, by a strict party vote to today, laid on the table the resolution of Representative Sims, of Tennessee, compending the President for his action in discharging the colored soldiers alleged to have been concerted in the affray at Brownsville, Tex. The motion to lay on the table was made by a Republican, and carried by the Republicans, the Democrat voting against the motion. Mr. Sims will now bring the resolution before the House on a motion to discharge the Military Committee from further consideration, and have the resolution considered by the House, providing the Speaker will recognise him for that purpose. In beginning this article the writer assumes that all of his readers have purchased and settled on their own land, and are, therefore, ready to receive what follows. Let us begin our subject, therefore, by comparing the farm to a bank. In order to draw money out of a bank a depositor must be supplied with checks. Very well. A farmer wishing to draw on his bank (land), must be supplied with certain checks, without which he can never deposit one can lie. A depositor must have the knowledge of how to make out his checks when he wishes to draw, else, some one has to show him how to do it. Similarly a farmer must know how to use his checks—farm tools and stock—in order to sealine on them. This brings us directly to the point. The farmer's land is his bank, as before stated, and his checks are his horses, cows, hogs, farm tools, machinery and everything that assists in the cultivation and fertilization of his land. We will, therefore, take up the two most important checks, the writer's mind, and learn their use simply, equally honest and farm tools all kinds. Without a horse or mule, as the case may be, a farmer can hope to do very little, or nothing. He is the beast of burden about the place; the plowing must be done by him; heavy loads drawn, or "pushed" by him, produce conveyed to and from the market, in fact he is simply indispensable. This being the case, how important it is to know how to care for such a valuable beast. The writer would like to discuss the subject of the article a little, the limits of this article do not permit. He will therefore, lay down a few rules which, if followed by the farmer, will repay him ten, yea, a hundred fold. See that your stock are properly sheltered from the piercing winds of winter. To let them run out during winter is not only wasteful, but brutal as well. We should not just be just as we would wish to be treated. He can't talk. We must talk for him. Do not allow the children on the farm to tend the stock. They are not responsible. The stock will suffer if you do. That is one of the farm checks that the farmer must look after himself. There is no objection, however, to the children doing the work under the supervision of some responsible member of the family. This should be done in the interest of the children, also the stock. The farmer has hired a farmer who loses on an average one horse each year. Now his stock are housed alright, but the lack of food and brutal treatment have militated against his material progress. Don't overfeed, but give your horse the proper amount of feed, and under no circumstances ill-treat him. Horse cost money. The careless loss of one considerably lessens the farmer's income for the year. The old adage, "Show me a man's friend and I will tell you what kind of man he might be applied to as a farmer. Let the writer see how a farmer cares for his farm tools and he will tell you, in a minute, what kind of farmer he is. One of the most careless and shiftless sights imaginable, is that farm where the wagon stands here, the plow over there, the harrow thrown up against an old tree, and everything topsy turvy, with the heavens as a covering for the whole outfit. You don't need to use the farmer, in personality, to do this single thing to keep the place. This does not apply to any one particular class of farmers, either. The woods are full of them. These are very important checks, and in order to realize on them at the proper time, the owner must know the use and care of them. Of course, all farm tools will wear out at some time, but it depends, very largely, on the farmer as to what the life of each tool will be. Therefore, next to the stock on the farm, look out for the tools. At some future time the writer will write to the farmer to keep in the bank (land). In the meantime let us learn the proper care and use of our farm checks (stock and tools). A FARMER Heggin, Pa., February 2, 1907. THE PRESIDENT IN OHIO. What His Proposed Appointment of Mr. Tyler Has Stirred Up. CINCINNATI, February 6. - Washington dispatches report that President Roosevelt has asked Rooker T. Washington to recommend a suitable colored man in Ohio for some important Presidential office, and that Mr. Washington has recommended Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, editor The Ohio State Journal at Columbus. If Mr. Washington has advised the President to appoint a Negro to a Presidential office in Ohio he has done something that, so far as our knowledge goes, no Republican Senator or Congressman in Ohio has done during the last forty years. Both Senator Foraker and Senator Dick have ample opportunity to recommend to the President some prominent Afro-American to a Presidential office, such as the Surveyorship of some port or the postmaster in some large city, but they have not done so. We very much hope, however, that now that the President is considering seriously, through Mr. Washington's recommendation, the appointment of a colored man in Ohio will not become a candidate at once for the position. The old game that white politicians throughout the country constantly play is to get a large number of colored people to become candidates, and then that the only way out is to appoint a white man. Of course, white people fight among themselves just as colored people, but in most cases, especially in the Northern and Western States, this is a standing excuse. We hope the people in Ohio will be unselfish enough in this case to stand together in favor of some man who is most likely to secure the position. It is to be reaffirmed that neither Senator Foraker nor Senator Dick could see his way clear to take the bill by the House, and therefore as the bills would have had a stronger hold upon 50,000 Afro-American voters in the State of Ohio. If an Afro-American is nominated for this position, no matter where he lives, we are quite sure that the rank and file of Negro voters of this State will not stand for any foolishness in the matter of confirmation. It is rumored that either Senator Foraker or Senator Dick will now bring out a Negro candidate of his own. Very well. But they have not now viewed so well, so hard. Now that the President has moved in the matter he will get the credit coming to him for stirring up the Ohio Senators in looking out for their Afro-American constituents. Alabama Church Dynamited COLUMBUS, Ga., January 14. --- News has reached Columbus of the dynamizing of Bethlehem Colored Baptist church, between Gimard and Crawford, Ala., a night or two ago. The ceiling and weatherboarding on one side were torn off and the explosion came near demolition, with mild explosions and trenchous one and was heard for miles around. The offices of the church have offered a reward for the apprehension of the guilty parties. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1907. Native Africans in London. LONDON, ENGLAND, January 19.—Many months have passed since I left New York, and great changes have taken place in the United States. Presidential Election, most of the States of Europe returned politicians whose tendencies are liberal, democratic or human. Even "Odd" England almost wiped out, in her general election last January, the party that always was in favor of slavery, chartered companies combining in commerce to bona fide the custom in England for each Government to baptise its infancy with blood. The last Government began with the Boer War. Some of the generals said: "It is much better than shooting niggers;" and the man in the street said, "This is no nigger do." The Liberal Government had scarcely taken control when the world was startled by the news of a war in Natal, South Africa. In a few months the gallant Britons had killed almost 10,000 native and rendered 30,000 homeless, churchless and foodless. And the white bishop, who dared take the part of the natives, was soon branded as a liar, and made to shut up. After this the Government felt that it had been baptised enough with Negro blood for the present; and to divert the attention of the world from their evil deeds, the Congo atrocities were cursed from Government to continue an Eagle-political campaign. "Whenever massacre takes place in Africa a Liberal Government, is in power." Watch that Government. The Labor party may crush it. Because of not agreeing on the killing of Africans, the German government dissolved its Reichstag. And, unless "God is only on the side of the big battalions," every Negro would do that. Return the Socialist party, because, up to now, that party is humane in its policy. Trade has been very good in England during the last year. In many of the manufacturing districts the mills are still working overtime; therefore, there are less unemployed than eight months ago. Yet the work houses (Poor Houses) are full of paupers. This is the result of selfish government. Where the English conquer they divide the land among favorites or sell it to rich companies. Thus a few centuries afterwards millions are starving, while a few thousands have every luxury money can buy. Some African chiefs came to England not long ago to beg the government to allow them to buy the land that was taken before England robbed them of it. Although some anthropologists say that the East Indian, from the formation of his skull, belongs to the white race, his skin is just black enough to debar him from owning real estate in South Africa. Serves him right! With his civilization and knowledge, why is he not one of the favored nations, like the Japanese? England is generally under a cloud or fog. This may account for so many daylight burglaries and murders. Many women in England are making great efforts to force the Government to give them the franchise. In England one often finds widows whose husbands have gone, with other women, to America, to the British Colonies, or to the Far East. According to English newspapers Negroes are the only ones who are doing any looting in ill-fated Kingston. Is that true? The New York Age will be once more most welcome reading to ZORKRUTE. MIXED BLOOD DISCUSSED. A View That Has the Spice and Ring of Ordinarily From The Southern American. The race question can easily be settled. That is, an insight into conditions and causes with the natural result the clearly seen. The man is inexorable law, too challenging with dogmatic immunity every effort or proposition to dispose of them otherwise than accordingly as they exist. (See Gen. 9: 18-24.) It is expressly stated that the descendants of Ham should be the servants of Japheth and Shem. There is no need entering into a dissertation involving the hows, whys or whereforests of the offspring of the Negro from one of the sons of Noah after they came out of the ark. They are here, and according to the Bible there was another place for them The Hebrew term, too from which the word Ham is translated, bodies forth all the characteristics of the Negro as an original African. A canvass of the history of the relations in question in the light of fair deductions from the facts will verify the absolute correctness of these assumptions. Do not the gradations to prominence by this mixed blood rise according to this scale? The only appreciative part of this condition is that it vindicates God's word. For this purpose, more than any other, I write this article. St. Augustine's Church of Brooklyn Presented With a Fine Organ. PRESIDENT OF A TYPE ORGAN. The congregation of St. Augustine's Presbyterian Church, Downtown street, were well-appreciable in the Sunday, when the rector, Rev. George Fraser Miller, announced at the morning service that the church had been presented by some wealthy gentlemen, through the efforts of Mr. Charles K. Moore, one of the everyone's beautiful $3,300 pipe organ. The undersigned should not be revealed. The organ is to be placed in the church immediately. He Was a Slave, but Game as the Gamed and Bled With the Portitude of a Brook. MANSKA PAIL, February 2—Brit, the hero, a black Negro, whom the Texas Hangers regarded as the bravest of the brave, surrounded by Indiana, cut his horse's threat and behind the body fought like a Greek, falling with 173 empty shells at his feet and the bloody body covered with the dead bodies of his feet. Texas Indian fighters concede that the wreath of glory for valor under fire was won during the old wars on the frontier by a black Negro by the name of Brit. The story of the hero's life is like a chapter from some wild romance. Hand to hand encounters and narrow escapes from death succeed each other in rapid succession. At last the brave man, overwhelmed by his foe, died like a Spartan. Brit was a slave, but he had a kind and indulgent 'master' who fully appreciated the devotion and courage of his servant Johnson, who owned Brit, had allowed him a great many privileges not usually accorded to men, and the industrious Negro had succeeded in accumulating quite a large drove of catfish and borage. He expected in the course of time to be able to buy his wife and children. Moses, Johnson belonged to Peter's colony, on the frontier, and the merciless Comanches made raids into that region almost every time a full moon sailed above to light their war path. Brit was alert and ever on guard. Many times the colony was indebted to the faithful black man for timely warning. Often, he saved the people's property and them from the scalping knife and the flames. He was always ready to ride with the Rangers in pursuit of the Indians, and being a crack shot he was generally the first to draw blood. When the battle raged Brit rode with the van, fighting like a very black demon. One day this heroic man came home to find his master's dwelling in flames and the mutilated bodies of the white family living cold in their blood. The terrible Comanches had done their worst and finished by carrying Brit's wife and children off into captivity. The man's grief could find no expression in words. Only deep groans mingled with the oath he registered. He would ride, he vowed and "kill, kill," as long as he lived. There are Comanches yet living who know how well he kept his oath. For five years this avenger of blood hung upon the side of the Comanches, killing and seizing his horse. Once more opportunity offered. He rode a cruiser back Kentucky racer capable of easily running away from any horse on the frontier and he often ventured close to the Indian villages. Woe unto the warrior that strayed far from camp. Time and again he rode within easy range of the campfires of his enemies, and after popping over some big chief would startle the camp with a wild triumphant yell and gallop away. The Indians were terribly enraged and bitter in their burning hatred of the black Terror. They tried hard to kill or capture Brit. The Negro was as shrewd and far more brave than his skulking foes. Once, five giant warriors secreted themselves in Brit's stable, just before day, thinking to overpower him and take him alive. To burn Brit in the presence of his wife and children was the one great thing the Comanches talked about, Brit. It bristled to help him to his stable unarmed and the Indians sprang upon him. He seldom ever wore a shirt and he kept his skin oilied for just such emergencies. Now he found use for his powerful strength. He broke one Indian's neck with a single blow of his fast, and shaking off the others he jumped aside and knocked another senseless. One Indian was shooting arrows and Brit made for him, seizing him by the throat and twisting his neck until it cracked. He sprang through the door intending to fly to the cabin for arms, but observing iron bar he grasped and turning at his feet the skulking dians still on their feet and then finished the others. Mounting his horse he alarmed the colony. To a neighbor he simply said "I killed five this morning before breakfast." A serious misfortune overtook the brave man at last. Mistaking a band of Comanches for friendly Tonkawas, he rode in amongst them and was instantly entangled in a dozen lariats. Bound hand and foot, he was carried to a hostile camp in great triumph, amidst frenzied rejoicing. Lashed to a tree near a fire, the doubled man was left to his reflections. He had not been long in this position until his wife approached the fire and began to broil pieces of beef for a big Indian who sat near. Brit soon discovered that this Indian had taken his wife and was using her for his squaw. How his blood must have boiled. Suddenly, the Indian spat out a piece of meat that displeased him and sozing fire brand he struck the Negro woman in the face, knocking her over and burning her badly. Brit's struggles with his wife, the woman with whom he recognized him, she pass close to Brk, pushing a knife and tomahawk under his thigh. It did not take the captive long to cut his throat. Springing to his feet he drove the tomahawk deep into the skull of the Indian who had struck his wife, and then vanished in the darkness like some spirit denom of the night. Fortune favored the during one While flying for his life he stumbled over a campfire of Rangers, who were hunting the Comanche village. Brit eagerly led threw, and at daylight they stormed the Indian camp and put the Red fends to flight, after killing many. Brit was overjoyed to recover his wife and children. For years he kept close watch, and he took his coat with vigilance. On morning watch of more than a hundred warriors, fell upon the brave Brit while he was captured on the roadside with two comrades, both Negro men. The battle opened at one and Brit's companions both fell early in the action. Brit's famous black roar was wounded. The hero called the noble animal to his side, and after hugging and kissing him, he cut his throat and maked a breastwork of his body he prepared to sell his life shortly. The savages were afraid to approach within range of the brave Brit, and their favorite mode of battle they circled above their foot until the field looked like a big circus ring or race track. With his own guns and those of his fallen comrades, the brave Brit must have unbanged the battle for hours. One hundred and seventy two corps shells were found by his side. Brit fell like a Greek. Newark Netrz Miss Alda and Mr. Stanley Miles, of New York City, were in Newark on Sunday visiting Miss Emma Hilton, who is ill with La Grape at the residence of her brother James E.

High Degree, and Among Blocks of Low. Degree—Dunbar Custenham. Richmond. Feb. 1.—Xoan people of the North heir much of Afro-American criminality at the South, of which is true, and then again entree: If nokken after the truth would study Afro-American criminality as it really is presented in the courts, and then compare it with crime among the whites, the blacks, and the hold a monopoly of the criminal record. During the month of January your correspondent served on the court of the Huntington. The docket, which was a heavy one, included almost every crime in the history of criminal practice, from common law to barbery and horse stealing. An Afro-American is charged with attempted criminal assault upon a woman of African descent, and is unable to tell her life of woe. Her white employer goes on the stand and gives her a character that would make the woman a cross-examination both the woman and her employer make contradictory statements, the attorney that the comedy subtitle girl is a trifle more to her employer than servant girl, and the whole charge is a ruse to get up or put out of the way as he will never more cross the pathway of the jealous employer. The employer of the samples of Afro-American criminality, and in every case the accused have come from the lower life of where life is expected to be found. And now as to the white side. One young white man who had been a trusted discharged December 19, 1900. December 23 he phones his former employer, asks that usually hires teams from him. He says he will send a colored boy for a horse. He does so. The boy gets the horse. He does so. The horse to the horse to a sales stable, asking that the horse be sold and cheek paid to the boy. The horse is sold and cheek checked. The owner later finds out that the firm to which he thought he was renting the horse had not returned the horse. The horse is sold and cheek checked. The property is proven. The note by which the horse was sold is in the handwriting in the penitentiary was his portion. And though this white horse thief comes of a highly respected family and is well educated, say, "Negro Horse Thief Gifts Five Years." A young man of respectability charged with the duties of a young white woman, changed to begrasling, finally by consent of the accuser the case was propelled. The situations of facts are not made to minimize the crimes of Afro-Americans, but to show that the crime amony this people is facing is not an intelligent class, but the dissolute and ignorant, while among the whites the sorrowful memory of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The several literary societies have completed the programme for the joint memorial ceremony in memory of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The meeting will be held Sunday next in Revere. The following programme will be rendered: Prayer; opening remarks, President of the Afro-Americans Society; Resignation from Dunbar, Coronella Society; Music, Aurora Society, of Manchester; Resignation from Dunbar, Coronella Society; Music, Aurora Society, of Manchester; Resignation from Dunbar, Coronella Society; Music, Aurora Society; original poem "Wode to Dunbar," Narcissus Society; solo, Mrs. Bernard Gilpinham as a novelist, Friday Evening Society.

I came to tune your piano." Mam. Hammer "Planet" I did not send Bills — Bishop Strangley — Double Funeral WILMINGTON, February 21 — Senator Morton, of this city, has offered a bill in the North Carolina Assembly which he thinks will solve the servant problem. According to the terms of the bill it is to be a midsem- derman and punishable by fire or the rude in as the case of other misdemeanors, without giving due notice, or should a servant after making an agreement to work for a certain party, fail to keep the agreement of the bill upon which we shall teach when the full text is before us. Although is the class legislation of the worst kind, it is attempted solely to affect the Afro- American servant problem as it exists in greatly surprised and justly apprehensive of the results should such a bill pass the attempt to bring about a recurrence of unsettled state of mind from which the Afro- American has just been recovering since 1959. Because our heart is set upon these things we give this advice to our white friends and present them to have this bill detted. We are losing entirely too much confidence in one another already, and legislation such as this will be even still more dimustious. In the face of all said to the contrary the Afro-American will work. He will give faithful service. But the Afro-American has learned to distinguish between the first employee and the unjust employer, between hard taskmaster and the gentleறred sympathetic aristocrat. He knows and sees who are active in the propaganda of immigration and race hatred. More and more men are believing it unsafe for their wives and children to work out in service because of the rumors, threats and air relations of certain classes. We turn to our good white friends for cheer and comfort, leave them stressed and confidence only to have the same shattered by some bitter attack or humiliating news paper article. Give the Afro-American servant justice and restore that sympathetic courtesy and gentleness of spirit in the employer dealings with his servants and the serpent problem in Wilmington is solved. The friends of Mr. Eugene Wilson sympathize with his life and the death of his young and beautiful wife, lady of as charming manners and sweet lady of as charming face and figure.

The large "new rivers" have not been seen on the market this season, nothing but "stump sound" and the "little sound" oysters, which sell as high as the new rivers used to be low. Some say the oyster speculators buy and ship on the spot before the carts can get to market, others say the oyster hands and farers are getting too independent to bother about oysters for a revenue while trick gardening days so well.
