VOL. XXI. No. 8 NEGRO WON; THEN A SCENE Amazing Incident at the Horse Show at Madison Square Garden MRS. ALLEN POTTS A Southerner, Becomes Enraged Because She Competed With a Negro Rider for Honors and Lost BENJAMIN GARRIS The Water-Be Ride the Horse That Was Awarded the Blue Ribbon-Bid Not Take the Reward of White Women Seriously Filled with disappointment and chagain because first honors were awarded a Negro at the New York Horse Show, which was held week at Madison Square Garden, Mrs. Allen Potts, a Southammer, and one of the contestants, was mild sensation by declaring an exhibition "it was perfectly fun" that she had been compelled to compete with a Negro. Mrs. Potts won the prize she would not have been so enraged; but in view of the fact that she met defeat on the hands of a Negro rider before the New York Horse Show, particularly galling. She was the only woman who rode in the exhibition. Benjamin Carris, who was the only Negro competitor in the exhibition, is clad over receiving the first prize and does not seem to take the remarks of Mrs. Potts seriously. When informed that she had become eugened in the race, the Negro rider only said: "Well, you know she's from the South, and I am not disposed to treat her ideas on the Negro question seriously. If she remains North long enough she will learn that her views on the race question are not considered seriously in New York. I am glad the horse I rode won the prize. I don't care anything else. I don't care anything else. There were seven entries in the class for officers' mounts and chargers, thirteen of which were shown. Garron rode "The General," a bay gelding belonging to Miss Mary Stone Myrick of Dobb's Ferry, N. X. Mrs. Potts rode her gray mare, "Moonstone," with a side saddle. The blue ribbon was given to the General and Mrs. Potts did not finish three. The class was judged by Capt. F. C. Marshall Fifteenth Cavalry, U. S. A. Mrs. Ports is the owner of the old and valuable estate Castle Hill, at Cobham, Va., and is a member of one of the best known of the Virginia F. F. V.s. Her father, General Rives, was twice Ambassador to France, and it was a much earlier ancestor who imported the first pack of hounds ever used in hunting over the Virginia hills. She has more than a dozen of her horses entered in various classes in the present show, she was not on the only one who ever rode in Madison Square Garden in a hunt club competition over fences, but the only one to ride, as she did in the same afternoon, in a class for officers mounts and chargers, and she required an especial permission to do so. Moonstone's rider had been in the ring, nearly fifteen minutes and had repeatedly made the circuit without nother the fact that one of her most doury rivals in the charger class was ridden by a Negro. The awards were about to be placed when she made that discovery. "When she had left the arena and had dismounted she was highly indignant because she had been placed in the position of competing with a Negro rider. She angrily lashed her riding habit with her, whipstock and said: "It was an insult to permit a Negro to appear riding in the same ring with a Southern woman, that something more appropriate to be before and I hope never will again." Later Mrs. Potts said she had no feel-of resentment because her mount was defended. She was quite ready to conceive the splendid quality of the animal saddened by Garris, to whom the army judge gave the blue ribbon, but what she resented was that she, the only woman riding in the class, and a Southern woman had been seemingly placed in competition with a negro rider.

The confidence of your countrymen, a jewel of the highest value, comes to you in the form of the highest trust your country can give." In reply Gen. Gomez said: "The manner in which the elections have been held would indeed have made me proud whoever had been the victor, because it shows that the Cubans are capable of self-government. I cannot refrain from expressing the profound and sincere gratitude which Cuba owes the great country of Roncevelt, which you have the honor to represent—gratitude which will be forever deep-rooted in my soul as a Cuban." NIGHT RIDERS IN TEXAS. KILI a Cotton Flicker and Scarce Man Dad, John Luttinger, Virginia COLEMAN, TEX., Nov. 14—The Negroes of Coleman and in adjoining counties are panic-striken over the killing of one of their number near this place by so-called night riders. A general exodus of blacks from this section to other parts of the State began yesterday. Hundreds have abandoned their homes. A few days ago night rider notices were posted warning white farmers not to employ Negroes and ordering all blacks to leave. The Negro who was killed was bringing a load of cotton into town when he was killed. Thousands of bales of cotton will have to remain in the fields unpicked unless the Negroes can be induced to return. SAID NEGRO HAS NO SOUL New Preacher In Out of a Job and Lost His License.

At State Conference, which closed here to-day he said he believed the Negro had no soul. Resolutions were offered condemning him, and he was refused right to continue further church work.

November 16. The circumstances attending the death and funeral services of George Washington Walton, a Negro in this city, last week, show that there is another side to the race question in the South than that which is conveyed to the minds of the people of other sections by the accounts of lynchings, which unfortunately occur sometimes. George Washington Walton was a slave of George Walton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and as he put it, was one of the few remaining members of that historic family. He was born and reared in Augusta and when old enough took up the barber trade, which he followed his entire life, having enjoyed the distinction of shaving one man for fifty-three consecrations, and him the appreciation and esteem of his own race as well as the white people. He was attentive to his business, content to live a useful life and better his own condition by meriting it. In his younger days he became a member of the First Presbyterian Church, white, one of the oldest, largest and most fashionable churches of the city, at which he attended service regularly. It was a respect for congregation. It was from this church that he took place and it was attended by many of the most prominent white men of the city. The funeral services were a most remarkable tribute to a man of his race. The music was sung by the regular chair of the church and the services were in every particular as those over the remains of departed white members. Dr. J. T. Plunke, the pastor of the church, conducted the funeral services, and the relationship between white pastors and the artistic church and the Negro to whom they were paying their last tribute of respect may be understood from the preacher's words: "It is not my practice to preach a funeral sermon, and I shall not depart from my custom to deliver a funeral criaition over the sleeping dest of our beloved brother and our friend. What could I add by word of life to the honor of his long, modest, humble Christian life as he lived it throughout all his years in this city? That which I might say could not add to it, and God forbid that I should take from it in single degree. The experiences of citizens know the man. Through all the trying years of the war, and since his life has been as an open book, seen and read by all. And it was full of instructions for the young, for it was not in him, nor of him, to put a pre- am upon infidence in any chan or any "In early life he began his labor, and through God blessed and gave to him a competence, he never ceased his work until the setting sun of his life and the shadow of death cut short his faithful laboring. He walked among us modest, humble, unstressful, arguing to himself no place, no power, no influence that was not rightfully his; that of a man old of gentleman, and was worthy of the grand old name of gentleman. He was a true citizen, and bore responsibility intelligently and faithfully. In every relation of life, as brother, husband, father and citizen, in spirit and in letter, he endeavored to be true and faithful. "Out of the fulness of the pastor's heart I speak. For years I identified himself with this church, even before he became a public profession of faith he gave the adversary no opportunity to challenge his adherence to his faith. "He walked in this world of shadow and sin, and as a light his life shown, his trust and belief in God and influence that may not be gainssaid. "And so it is meet that white and black should gather in the house of God before whom there is no distinction, to pay tribute to the devoted father, the humble, true citizen, the faithful child of God. I lay my personal tribute on his heart, and I will pay my love to me, and he knew that I loved him, and I will say that George Walton was worthy of the love of any man." The deceased was reared by the historic George Walton family and never departed from his excellent training. ANOTHER NEGRO VICTORY Mrs. Appy Ray When Ornateal Cootes Over White Ribbons at Sacramento.

OKMULDE, OKLA, Nov 16—James Deckard, a Negro, quarrellled Sunday with Steve Grayson, an Indian boy, and beat him with a stone until he was insensible.

As the attacking party approached Deckard began shooting with a rifle, fir- Continued on Page 5 Supreme Court of District of Columbia Renders Important Decision WASHINGTON, D. C., November 16. —One of the most important decisions ever rendered touching the interests of the Negro Masonic Order in this country was handed down by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last week. In this particular decision all of the rights and dignities of the Grand Lodge of Masons, which was established in 1848, were maintained, and the so-called Grand Lodge that sprang there about twelve years ago, known as the Jones faction, was enjoined in every respect from acting as a Grand Lodge of Masons or using the name of Masonic Grand Lodge on any occasion whatever. About two years ago the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the District of Columbia held a Grand Conclave in Washington, D. C. On the day of the celebration a bishop was filmed by the Jones faction to restrain the regular Grand Lodge of Masons, the Grand Commandery and the Grand Chapter from acting in their respective capacities as Masonic bodies. This bill was filed by the body which the courts have now called "spirituous." It was filed not because it was being disturbed in its work, but to humiliate the older body in the very presence of its brethren and guests William H. Grimshisher, Grand Commander W. Judd Malvin and the Grand High Priest were made parties to the bill. Grand Master Grimshaw called together the craft in mass meeting and all of the subordinate lodges unhesitately contributed liberally to pay the expenses of the defense in the action which had been brought against them. The best legal talent in the District of Columbia was employed. Grand Master Grimshaw worked diligently and assiduously in preparation of the testimony and had his attorneys not answered his bill of loss filed against the Grand Lodge and represented by him, but instructed them to file a cross bill in the action so as to stop for all time any annoyance from the so-called Grand Lodge which made the attack, and who was represented by one who called himself Grand Master Scott. Grand Master Grimshaw was able assisted in his fight by Past Grand Masters John F. Cook, William H. Myers, the present Grand Secretary Leonard C Bailey, Robert H. Tertell and Past Master John A. Gray. All branches of the craft gave him the most loyal support throughout. Among the attorneys for the defense and the regular Grand Lodge and others) were Mr. James A. Cobb, Assistant U. S. Attorney, and Mr. Joseph H. Stewart, both Negroes and Masons. They did splendid work in the preparation as well as prosecution of the case along with their associates, Mr. Milton J. Lambert and Mr. J. Easby Smith. The decree in this case is most sweeping in its terms. It not only refuses to grant the injunction, prayed by the Jones-Scott faction, but completely puts that faction out of business by granting everything asked for by the regular body in its cross bill. The decree enjoins the faction which has heretofore called itself the "Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons" of the District of Columbia, a corporation, from using the name under which it has been acting, and further forbidden to use any signs, symbols, emblems, regalia, banners or insignia, the same as or similar to those which are now used by the cross complainants, the regular Grand Lodge, from in any way holding itself or themselves out to be, or operating as, an organization of Free Masons under said name; and from collecting any ques, or contributions, or from doing anything else in the capacity of an organized body of Free Masons under that name." The regular Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia of which William H. Grimshaw, at present Grand Master, was organized, in the year 1848, but Social Lodge, No. 1, one of its subordinate lodges, has been in active existence in the District since 1825. It received its first charter from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. DEATH OF E. D. BASSETT First Member of His Race Appointed in Diplomatic Service. Ebenezer D.

PRICE, 5 CENTS Will Not Thrive Under the Incoming Administration In Georgia and Other Southern States Negroes Will be Given Consideration as Heretofore In Soothing to Divide the White and Colored Republicans of Georgia, by Making Untrue Charges—Negroes Supported Taft ATLANTA, Nov. 17.—It has developed that the report published shortly after election by the Atlanta Constitution that Negroes will be eliminated from holding office in Georgia under the incoming Republican administration is untrue. Prominent political leaders in this State say that there will be no disposition of the new administration to turn the Negro out of office. In fact it is well known here that President-elect Taft will stand by all Negroes who have remained loyal to the Republican party, despite the desire of a number of white Republicans to resort to "hily white" tactics. The attempt of the Democratic press to create trouble in the Republican ranks is shown by the statement of the Atlanta Constitution that the Negro will be eliminated from Republican affairs, and adds, if the Taft organizations formed in the State by the white voters have any weight with the President-elect. "In view of the disfranchisement law, which goes into effect in Georgia on January 7, 1909, thousands of Negroes who voted this year will not be able to stand the educational qualification tests and will not be able to vote the Republican ticket four years hence, even if they wanted to, and the fact that thousands in Georgia, it is said, did not vote for Mr. Taft on Tuesday, on account of the Brownsville episode, is being used already to the Mr. Taft who should provide all white students to office in Georgia this year. This will mean that a fight is to be made upon H. A. Rucker, the Negro collector of customs in Atlanta, and J. H. Deveaux, the Negro collector of the port at Savannah, the only large plums now being by Negroes. With Taft clubs organized throughout the State bringing pressure to bear, it is believed weight will be had with the President in making these appointments." Many prominent Negroes of Georgia, including Collector of Internal Revenue H. A. Rucker, also take issue with the charge made that large number of Negroes remained away from the polls, declaring that the election of Taft was a white man's fight. Relative to the matter Colonel Rucker recently gave out the following interview: "Indications now point to a Bryan majority of 5,000, or less. State gave Parker 37,000 in 1904. We claim greatest victory of campaign, as fight was made without outside aid of money or speakers, and with the Negro not voting. Had the registered Negro vote be cast, the State would have given Taft a majority over all. It was a white marry fight, and result makes Georgia battleground in 1912. The people generally are pleased over Taft's election. "The encampaign committee and all other Republicans are elated over the vote this State. However many of us are the appointed because, it was not very much larger than reported. "We fully expected Mr. Taft's vote so exceed that of Mr. McKinley in 1908. And with the colored men rallying as they did, it is surprising this is not true. "The ninth district, where the Republican vote is largely white, has done equally as well, if not better, than did in 1896, and this is also true of the seventh district. But outside of these districts the majorities for Mr. Taft were given in the black counties, wards and precincts. These counties are Appling, Baldwin, Chattahoochee, Camden, Greene, Liberty, McIntosh, Screen and ebster—the first and fourth of wards of Bibb and Impington and South Bend districts in this county. The vote of the fourth ward alone for Mr. Taft in this county was within 10 votes of the entire vote given him in Bibb county, where the campaign committee had headquarters. Still it is alleged, as given out from these headquarters, that the Negro did not vote, and that "it was a white man's fight." I seems to me that this is a gratious misrepresentation of the facts, which can be easily proven. I admit that many Negroes did not vote because they were already disfranchised by the amendment adopted at the State election in October. When this became known many of us essayed to inform them, but this might have been done more effectively by the committee. "I hope it is the purpose of the committee to be fair, and knowing the different counties of the State, as they must, if they will carefully, or even casually, review the vote published in your paper, they will change their conclusion that the Negro did not vote or come up with the proof to sustain it." Bannan, November 14. All roads in Greater Boston led to Harvard Stadium last Saturday and society thronged to see the greatest game of the season on Sullivan Field. Much interest centered in the playing of Pollard, Dartmouth's swift left halfback, who put up such an excellent game, that the Boston Herald termed him the "Black Whirlwind." Pollard came to Hanover from Chicago, where he learned the radiments of the game. He entered the Hanover High school and attracted attention by his dashing work on the school team. Although a freshman his work in practice was considered next to marvelous, and the fact that he was chosen to fill the important place in the backfield in the most important game of the year for Dartmouth is sufficient evidence of his capacity on the gridron. He proved by his work in the Harvard game Saturday a worthy successor of Bullock in Dartmouth football, and of Matthews and to great Lewis in the football world.

Morgan and Miss Maddie Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Benjamin, Mrs. Joseph Andrews and Miss Bessie Trotter, Mr. Price of Dartmouth and Miss Constance Farley, Mr. L. B. Canton, Mr. R. V.

BALSTONE, Nov. 14.—During the past week we have had several fashionable marriages, and there are others to follow during the present week. On last Wednesday at the hour of noon Mr. William J. Furyear, of *Norfolk*, Va., and Mia Maimee Coleman, a teacher of our city, were quietly married at the rectory of St. James' Church, this city, by the Rev. Dr. George F. Brangg. The happy couple fell the same evening for Norfolk, Va., their future home. The same evening, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William I. Butler, 1320 Etting street, Miss Mary Elizabeth Butler and Mr. Lawrence Gregory Hubert were united holy wedlock, R. W. C. Huntington, and Shary Street Museum, Church, performing the ceremony. The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of white messaline, made empire style, entrain, and adorned with panels of embroidered fillet, with yoke and sleeves of net, and carried carnations. The bride is a graduate of the Colored High and Training School, and previous to her recent marriage was instructor of sewing in Group H of the public school. The bride is an alumnus of the Baltimore Normal School, and is also a teacher in School 113. The presents were numerous and costly. About the same hour, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Williams, 1032 Druid Hill avenue, amid most happy and festive scenes, Miss Anna S. Williams and Mr. William H. Wilson were made man and wife, in accordance with ritual of the Episcopal Church, the Rev. Dr. Geo. B. Bragg, rector of St. James' Church, offering that he was handsome, attired in Brussels lace with ribbons, and carrying bridal roses in her hand. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. Alexander Williams, an employee in the Custom House. Notwithstanding the very unfavorable weather of Sunday, the cornerstone of the new Odd Fellows' Hall, on West Biddle street, was duly and regularly laid, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of the District of Maryland. The procession made quite an imposing appearance as it moved to the place where the ceremonies took place. Besides the regular line of Odd Fellows, Baltimore Patriarchie, under the command of Major Alexander Hemsley, was out in full uniform. Rev. Dr. Bragg was master of ceremonies, and assisted by the brethren laid the stone. Most Venerable Patriarch James F. Needham, Grand Secretary of Odd Fellows in America, was present and delivered the address. There were several visitors present from other cities, and the whole affair was most impressive and instructive. There was a large turnout, both upon the part of the order and the citizens generally. The present property has been recently acquired, and at no distant day it is the purpose of the order to enlarge and rebuild an imposing structure upon the present site. On last Wednesday morning our community was greatly shocked by the announcement of the sudden death of Mr. John C. Minnis, one of the best-known business men in our midst. Mr. Minnis was one of the most useful of the Afro-American citizens of this city. Whether he politically in charitable concerns, John Minnis was active and energetic spirit. It was in the ice cream business as a pioneer in the manufacturing of that article that he gained his extensive acquaintance with so many of the people of this city. Despite the inclement weather of last Saturday afternoon, Sharp Street Memorial Church was comfortably filled by sorrowing friends. Rev. Mr. Hughes, the pastor of the church, assisted by a number of the church clergy, officiated. The World War II Veterans of the Maryland Home for Friendless Colored Children realized more than seventy odd dollars from their recent entertainment, held at the institution, for the purchase of the winter's coal.

Numerous invitations had been sent out for this affair so every one commenced to prepare for this reception, for judging from Prof. Anderson's previous affairs they knew a good time was in store for them, so as early as eight o'clock the guests commenced to arrive. It as a beautiful night, just as clear as a crystal and everyone seemed happy as they entered the hall. During the early part of the evening the academy was lighted and everyone seemed happy as they entered why there was such light light. Those that knew Prof. Anderson best knew that something unusual was to take place later on. The hall was beautifully, decorated, commencing outside, flags hung from every available place, from the ceiling of the academy on a line running from the four corners of the hall to the center hung large flags of all nations, the entire head lining was bunting. The side walls were beautifully decorated with flags representing every nation on the face of the globe, running from each area in the shape of a flower to each flower in the flowers of all kinds. In the rear of the hall-was a sign tastily ornamented with flags and hunting announcing the great Thanksgiving reception. It was exactly ten o'clock when Prof. Anderson sounded his whistle and the hall was in darkness, then the most brilliant scene the eye ever looked upon appeared. The little vines running over head were turned into hundreds of miniature electric lights of various colors, the brightest of which the yellow in the wine room represented the American flag, red, white and blue. A great aplause went up from the gathering which could be heard for blocks away. At eleven o'clock there were fully 700 people present and they continued to come in droves. The Metropolitan Association of Dancer Masters was represented by Professor W. Wood and J. Ranks of Brooklyn and Vaughn of New York "Mrs. V. Nicholson of Ossining, represented her academy, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Jersey City, New Haven and other cities were well represented. The costumes worn by the numerous ladies were as gorgeous as the decorations. Miss Anderson's orchestra led by Prof. Win Carl won great applause and especially the new dance "The Barn Frozen." Composed by Prof. Charles F. Anderson, music by Prof. William Carl. At one o'clock a little package was passed to each lady and gentleman which contained confetti, and then the fun began. Confetti rained on every one for fifteen minutes. Then dancing was resumed until the early hours of the morning. Everyone had an enjoyable time, things passed off pleasantly until 4 a.m., then the saddest disapointment was when the orchestra played "Hooray Home." Each one regretted to leave the scene of pleasure, but Prof. Anderson assured them of another evening's pleasure Thanksgiving night. At this reception every one bringing a party of ten will get a season ticket. So get busy. The floor was under the management of Prof. George D. Mack. WHAT IS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR COLORED PEOPLE Many of our readers think that 4 per cent, on money deposited in savings banks is not enough interest, and a large corporation is now issuing. 6 per cent, bonds in denominations of $100 each, which are secured by first-mortgages upon property in the Borough of the Bronx, New York City, located on a line of East 125d to East 195th streets. These bonds have coupons attached, which can be deposited or cashed in any bank, and the interest is payable December 1 and June 1 of each year. Why should people accept 4 per cent, when they can get 6 per cent, with absolute safety? . . . These bonds are issued by the Hudson P. Rose Company, 82 West 84th street, New York City, who will be glad and a booklet can request, specifying the bonds fully, and also soliciting personal interviews. They have been interested in Bronx real estate for the past twelve years, and it is a large and successful corporation. 4904 West 93rd Street IMPROVEMENTS Fountain 101th One half mile from Agincourt bay and three acres beautifully gazeboed camping site taken out.

They had been on South Third and Hooper street since 1864 and had been weighted down all those years with a heavy mortgage which threatened the loss of the property. It was suggested by the annual conference that the old property be sold to such advantage that the congregation could realize a sufficient amount to purchase a smaller church, more in keeping with its attendance. The matter was the hands of Rev. J. F. Jacobs of the Fleet St. A. M. E Zion Church, who succeeded in selling the old church property for $21,000, enabling the congregation to pay off the Williamsburg property mortgage and purchase the present site. At the last annual New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church the Rev. John Wesley McCoy was called from Newberne, N. C., to succeed Rev. J. N. Waters, who was sent to Kingston. On this occasion the trustees took the opportunity to tender Rev. McCoy a welcome reception along with the mortgage burning, and the following program was carried out. The exercises were by an artist by Rev. Lacey followed by Rev. Brown by Rev. Lacey on Bentel Church; piano detection by Mme. DeBapiste Falker; welcome address by Dr. W. R. Lawton; addresses by Rev. L. J. Brown, Presiding Elder W. H. Newby, Rev. James Tappan, and Rev. W. J. Wilson of St. John's A. M. E. Church; sobs by Mrs. Roy and Mr. Barnett; paper by Miles Austin McCoy, the pastor's daughter, and welcome address on behalf of the young people by Miss Alice McCampbell, who also presented Rev. McCoy with a handmade bouquet of cut flowers. Mrs. Hubert, president of the Stewardesses: Board No. 2, presented the church with two jardiniers for the subit. The burning of the mortgage took place at 10:30 and was participated in by the following persons: Mrs. Susan Varcaster and the trustee board: Messra. George McCampbell, D. A. Bowman, R. D. Johnson, H. W. Lewis. A copy of the mortgage was read by Mr. Bowman, after which the instrument was given to Mr. George McCampbell and 'Mrs. Susan Varcaster, who held it white little Miss Williams of the Sunday School struck the match and ignited the document.

St. Marks Lyceum One of the largest mixed audiences of the season was gathered from all corners of Greater New York last Thursday evening to listen to the splendid address of Mr. William English Walling, the author of Russia's Message," on Its Modern Science Opposed to the Brotherhood of Man?" Mr. Walling was born in Kentucky, lived in Russia two years during the recent revolutionary movement, also spent several years traveling in other countries of Europe studying the new Democratic movement. Handling his subject with eloquent mastery he said in part, "Science is really the god of our time. "Of course I do not contend that these outrageous views have yet corrupted the masses of mankind; common sense resists them always." Touching upon the race question in the South, he said: "There is no such thing as a race; it is castle. Individually the Southern white man likes you or he would never allow such close intimacy between 'mammy,' and child—it is that you attempt to rise to his level as a race." Thursday night, November 12, a prize debate was the program. Subject, Resolved that the qualifications for voters should be regulated Governmentally. Affirmative, Messrs. C, G. Allen and J. D.

Smith, styled as the world's greatest piano player, performed before a packed audience at the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, Monday night. Mr. Smith is a great favorite among association men and has been engaged by nearly all societies and associations in the United States. He played Old Black Joe" giving Blind Tiger's version of that old-time favorite, in a most engaging manner. Each number received hearty applause, but when Mr. Smith played two tunes at the same time and the Annie Laurie with his nose, the audience roared with laughter to such an extent that a more serious selection was necessary to bring order out of confusion. The November public meeting of the branch will be held in the Fleet St. A. M. E. Zion Church on Bridge street next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. H. W. Hoot of the Bowery Branch, Y. M. C. A.

The Young Men's Christian Association had a meeting of great helpfulness and importance last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Leighton Williams, president of the Amity Theological School, and Prof. J. H. Torbert, of the Fort Valley (Ga.) Industrial School, were the speakers. The Sterling Jubilee Singers provided special music for the occasion. Dr. Williams, speaking on the subject "Progressive Personality, the Hope of Civilization," described the ideas and plans of a great many leaders of to-day, and pronounced them visionary and impracticable. Among other things he said: "We are all hoping for better things—we also are hoping for society to what the people make it. The land or the air cannot make a personality. The change of a political party cannot make a personality or a change in the existing civilization. Humanity must be changed in order that the aggregations of humanity might be changed. The change from savagery to civilization is wrought by law. "Which is stronger in the world, good or evil? Good has always conquered. Paul says we are more than conquerers through Jesus Christ. What does he mean? Why, I more than conquer a man when I not only subdue him, but also induce him to help me in what I am doing." Professor Torbert followed Dr. Wiliams, speaking on "The Present Ou look for the Georgia Negro." Mr. Torbert's address was one of the oldest presentations of the subject that has been heard for a long while. He was liberally applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. The Literary Society installed its new officers at the regular meeting on Tuesday evening, and had a most delightful time. A special program will be rendered at the monthly Members' Meeting on Tuesday evening next, the 28th inst., when Miss J. A. Fowler, the phrenologist, will deliver a lecture on "Interesting Facts About Human Nature." THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1908 Afro-American Beauty Company. On November 9 before Justice Victor J. Dowling of the Supreme Court for the County of New York, the trial of the trialer of the to-earth company J. Gordecker of Brooklyn as plaintiff, against Philip A. Payton, Jr., and the Afro-American Realty Company, as defendants, was held. This is the suit in which Crowder was represented by Mr. Wilford H. Smith, as attorney, and the trial had been pending for the last two years. Crowder in his suit sought to prove that Payton was the chief promoter of the Afro-American Realty Company and-charged him with having induced people to purchase stock in the company by making false and fraudulent statements. Payton at the time retained the first of Messra. McDonald & Bostwick as his attorneys. Mr. Wilford H. Smith, as attorney for Crowder, on an affidavit by him sought to convince the court that Payton was planning to leave the country and thus escape the liability of the suit. As a result of this, an order was issued for Payton's arrest by Justice Armend. When, however, the facts were shown to the justice, he vacated the order of arrest and informed the said Crowder that he was not entitled to such. In view of the attending circumstances in connection with the case, of a law suit being brought, by an attorney, alleging fraud and misrepresentation against a company in which he was one of the principal organizers and sole legal adviser at the time the alleged fraud and misrepresentation took place, Mr. Smith was summoned before the New York Bar Association to explain, disfarm proceedings having been brought against him. After a short hearing before the Grievance Committee of the Bar Association the matter was adjourned to be taken up again after the trial of the Crowder suit. Immediately after the commencement of the disbarment proceedings against him, Smith resigned as attorney for Crowder and turned the case over to a white firm of lawyers, House, Grossman & Vorhaus, and they represented Crowder in the trial of this action. In view of the fact that there had been some adverse criticism of Payton for employing white attorneys in previous proceedings, he thought it advisable and for the best interest of the company and himself to change lawyers and substituted in the place of McDonald & Bostwick the well-known Negro lawyer, Everett T. Chappelle. At this trial Payton was called as witness for Crowder and stated his connection with the whole proposition. He was immediately followed by Mr. Wilford H. Smith, who attempted to explain what he had done as attorney for the Afro-American Realty Company. He was quickly stopped by the justice at the suggestion of Lawyer Chappelle. The justice then said: "This is one of the most peculiar cases I have ever heard of. Here is an attorney commencing an action on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation against a company which he represented as its sole legal adviser when the alleged acts of fraud and misrepresentation were committed." It was proven at the trial that at the time the prospectus (alleged to have contained false and fraudulent statements) was written, that it was submitted to Mr. Smith, as attorney of the company, for his correction and approval before being submitted to the Board of Directors for their adoption. The original typewritten draft of this prospectus was produced in court and showed Smith's corrections and changes in his own handwriting running all through it. Revs. Gordon and Brown and Messrs. Charles J. Crowder, Richard Turner, Arthur Clinton, Chas. Toots, F. Stewart Armand and Fred R. Moore testified at the trial. At the finish of the plaintiff's case, on a motion by Lawyer Chappelle, the justice immediately dismissed the case against Payton, stating that Crowder and his associates never had any ground of action against him (Payton). He also said that if any individual should have been sued, it should have been Smith, as he was the person responsible for the alleged acts of fraud and misrepresentation. He also dismissed 35 claims against the company, including Frank S. Armand. The justice further said that the failure of the company, through its attorney, to insert in the prospectus that the property owned by the company was mortgaged and not free and clear was perhaps a sufficient concealment to entitle Crowder and five of his associates to a judgment against the company, and this was allowed. The trial was a complete vindication and signal victory for Payton. News from Rochester. The nineteenth annual fair and donation of the A. M. E.

Layton Visite Chicago Prof. Greener and Mrs. Bortlett Guests of F. Dengness Center Cancun, November 18.—The Record-Herald of recent date, printed an interesting account of the way Negro men in the Southern States are proving themselves successful and progressive farmers. A striking illustration is given in the person of a Negro in Marion County, South Carolina, named Butler General. He is described as quiet and unmounting in spite of his rather formidable name. He lives about five miles from the Marion court, house and is without question the biggest Negro farmer in the State of South Carolina. He has 200 acres in cotton in one level field without a flow or a washout, and 100 acres in another lot, altogether 200 acres of cotton as fine as can be found anywhere in the Carolinas. From this large acreage, Mr. General expects to realize 200 bales of cotton and perhaps more. He owns in his own name, all of this splendid tract of South Carolina cotton land for which he paid $25 per acre. It is described as "one unbroken field, level and all stumped." He has refused $75 an acre for his plantation. In addition to this Mr. General owns 200 acres of valuable timber land and several hundred acres in other places, making his total holdings 1,000 acres. The compelling power of such men is stronger than any innate prejudice and answers conclusively more anti-Negro arguments than can be uttered by all the reactionary forces that have striven to keep such men below the surface of attention. Mrs. Willie Layton of Philadelphia, secretary of the "Women's Baptist Missionary Association and also secretary of the National Woman's Protective League, made a brief visit to Chicago during the past week in the interest of her work. Mrs. Layton is one of the most interesting women in public life. She represents a great cause, which is nothing less than a crusade against a species of traffic in women for immoral purposes. The thrilling story of the city, traffic in innocent Negro girls, as well as white girls, made a deep and lasting impression on those who heard her. Her thorough knowledge of the whole subject renders her competent to speak with authority, and puts to shame those over ambitious men and women who assume to represent great and serious causes without any adequate knowledge of the things they pretend to represent. People became so much interested in Mrs. Layton's graphic description of actual conditions as they exist all about us, that they have prevailed upon her to return to Chicago, at an early date, that she might have a more adequate hearing, and encourage those who manifest a desire to assist in this great work of rescuing our girls from the perils of both black and white slave traffic. Your correspondent has been informed by those who pretend to know all about politics that the Negro vote in Illinois saved the Republican nominee for Governor from certain defeat. Gov. Deneen was the victim of a bitter factional tight in his own party. While Mr. Tait was elected by a majority of 175,000 in this State, Governor Deneen won by only 25,000. The Negro vote in this State is estimated at 30,000. It is believed that this loyalty to the Republican nominee for Governor will give the Negro vote greater importance in future elections. Mrs. Ferdinand Barnett, the aged mother of Mr. F. L. Barnett, the well-known attorney, died suddenly at her home in this city November 11. Mrs. Barnett and her late husband, F. L. Barnett, Sr. were among the pioneers of Chicago and lived here through all the remarkable history of Chicago's upbringing. Mrs. Barnett was well known and highly respected by many of the people who helped to build Chicago from a small village to a vast metropolis. Her funeral was largely attended by many who knew and loved her for her sterling virtues and many kindnesses. Her chief happiness during the last few years of her life was to see around her three generations of her family who paid her their homage of love and affection. She had rounded out a life of eighty years, which in itself is a great honor. Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Kalamazoo, Mich., one of the best-known and best-loved women of the West, and Prof. Richard T. Greener, were the special guests of the Frederick Douglass Center on Wednesday evening last. Mrs. Crane spoke feelingly and eloquently of the growing spirit of fraternity and kindly interest in the poor and unfortunate who must spend the declining years of their lives in almshouses and asylums in the dreadful isolation of dependence. Prof. Greener spoke most interestingly of his life and experience in Vladevstock during his official career as Consult for the United States Government. There are few men anywhere who can speak to charmily on any subject in which he is interested as Mr. Greener. His recent talk on Japan before the Douglass Center will never be forgotten by those who listened to it. Murphy-Clemente Wedding BALTIMORE, November 18—One of the most fashionable weddings of the present social season was that of Miss Sara F. Clements, daughter of Mrs. Clarence Clements, and Mr. Daniel H. Murphy, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Murphy, Sr. Wednesday evening, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. The bride, attired becomingly in an emerald crown of white messaline over raffetta silk, trimmed with Irish point lace, entered the church leaning on the arm of her brothers, Mr. George Clements, and was given away at the altar by him. The ceremony as performed by Rev. Mr. McClement, pastor of Mt. Calvary church. The middle of honor, Mike Violet Crombie, were an Impure gown of white shorthail children, trimmed with chiffon cloth. The highwindside were Mimna Cain Fry, a cousin of the bride, Aldine Hawkins, Marie Crombie and Angela Robbitt. The unders were Mimna, Carl Murphy, a brother of the groom; John Hampton, John Howard and Benoe Price. The best man was Mr. John H. Murphy, Jr., also brother of the groom. Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's mother, 1823 Division street, after which the happy couple left on a short wedding trip. The groom is well known in local businesses circles and is assistant manager of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, of which his father is publisher. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy will reside at 39 Laurens street. The Negro farmers in the South own in their own right, and according to statistics, over 173,000 farms and are in charge of 746,000 farms, including those which they control as tenants. The Wage Earners' Loan and Investment Company, of Savannah, Ga., held its eight annual meeting November 2. Notwithstanding the money panic, their increase of business during the past year amounted to a little over $2,000. During the year the company did a business of $70,533.54, declaring a dividend of 12 per cent, for its stockholders. The interest on deposits is greater than that given by any other bank in the city. The success of the company is due mainly to the efforts of its president, L. E. Williams, and its secretary and treasurer, W. S. Scott, in whom the patrons of the company have the greatest confidence Mr. Scott is a Tuskegee graduate. Mr. Thomas J. Hilliard, of the city of Baltimore, Md., conducts a successful housefurnishing business that is over one hundred years old. It was established by his grandfather. Mr. Hilliard began as a boy, nearly half a century ago when he helped his mother to sell her wares. He is a prominent member of the local Negro Business League. Mr. Henry L. Saunders, of Indianapolis, Ind., merchant and manufacturer, is the proprietor of a ladies' and gent's furnishing establishment which did a business of $24,004.44 for 1907. His stock was invoiced at $10,000. Messrs. Goode, Dunson, Henry & Co. conduct one of the finest cafes in Boston, Mass. In connection with it is also a grocery and provision department, all of which represent a capital of $3,000. In Greenville, Miss., the leading city of the Delta Country, the only book store and stationery business is owned and conducted by Granville Carter, a colored man. His stock is as large as any of its kind anywhere in the State, and his customers are of the finest families of both races in city and country. French Gray, a colored man of Latham, Ala., who is said to be 103 years old, donated to the Dooley Normal and Industrial Institute at Daphne, Ala., 120 acres of land valued at more than $2,000 and said that he wanted it understood that in this he is helping his race. This institution seems to be making a great success under the direction of Professor James Dooley, the founder, and now has fifty-one students. The trustees of this institution have been made administrators of Mr. Gray's remaining property, which consists of about 340 acres The display of the various kinds of handicrafts and numerous products of the farm and fine live stock in the Negro Building by members of the race at the Alabama Agricultural State Fair in Montgomery, October 10-24, was highly jej qumjo jo faqes aqt pure apenpazo than by the colored. variable comment by the whites no less ing as radically as he could load his weapon. The sheriff fell first, instantly killed. Then five of the Negro deputies were slain. Deckard's house was soon surrounded by a frenzied mob of armed men. Fire was set to a house just north of Deckard's. Volleys of bullets were poured into Deckard's house, and he was shot down. He was seen to roll over on the floor, strike a match and set fire to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace, in which his body was baked. Deckard evidently had a large quantity of ammunition stored in his house, for many cartridges exploded while the horse was burning. The dead are: — Chapman, colored, and his brother; James Deckard, colored; Henry Klaber, Assistant Chief of Police; Edgar Robinson, Sheriff of Okmulgee County, and three unidentified Negroes. The injured are Victor Farr, chief of Sionx, shot through shoulder; Steve Grayson, an Indian boy, fatally beaten. A deputy sheriff's arm was broken and seven others were slightly wounded. Following the fight at Deckard's house, in which whites, reds and blacks had taken part, there was had feeling on the part of the whites against the blacks. Gov. Haskell, at Guthrie, was advised, the situation and of the fear of a race战. He ordered the militia company at Muskeege to prepare to come to Okmulege, and a special train was made ready to carry the troops. The governor remained at his office to keep in touch with the situation. Before the militia could arrive here it became known that no Negro had assisted Deckard, and that the blacks who fell had been only commissioned demurry sheriffs seeking to effect his arrest. This ended the had feeling, the crowds dispersed and no further trouble is expected. Dr. D. G.

The cornerstone of our church at Boynton was laid last Sunday by the district superintendent, and the carpenters will commence work on the building this week. In spite of the small means at our disposal the work continues to grow. This is indeed a promising field for Home Missions and Church Extension. A lot has been purchased at Nowater and a church will be built by Conference. One of our greatest needs is money with which to go into new fields. Notwithstanding the pressure of hard times and church building, the Muskogee District will bring nearly a full apportionment for Home Missions' and Church Extension to the next Conference—M. E. Christian Republic. Firstfont Defaults President Roosevelt has written as follows to W. R. Meredith, a Taft Democrat of Virginia: "I do not believe there is a single individual of any consequence who seriously dreams of cutting down Southern representation, and I should have no hesitation in stating anywhere and at any time that as long as the election laws are constitutionally enforced without discrimination as to color, the fear that Southern Representation in Congress will be cut down is both idle and absurd." It was only four years ago that Mr. Roosevelt was running for President on a platform which favored such a reduction of Southern representation. Since that time the party or Mr. Roosevelt has come to take another view of the matter. But what does the President mean by his implication that Southern franchise laws are being "constitutionally" enforced without "discrimination as to color"? Is the country to understand he really thinks that such is the case?—Springfield Republican. "Walk the Chalkiller." The Negro is not as black as he is painted by many of the prejudiced journals of the whites, nor does he commit all the crimes laid at his door; but, withal, he is black enough and commits more crime than he should. Since the race knows that it is prone to misrepresentation, and that its offenses will be magnified to the limit of human imagination, it behooves us all to "walk the chalkline" of law and order and give our enemies no excuse for visiting summary vengeance upon us.—The Reformer. The Negro Vote. in Ohio. The Negroes of Ohio have achieved a great victory for themselves by showing their good sense in upholding their record of remaining with the Republican party. In Cleveland "the colored troops fought nobly" and in the districts where our voters live in the largest numbers great majorities were rolled up for Taft and the other Republican candidates. The bogus Democratic cry of "Remember Brownsville" did not fool the people. From all we have been able to observe the Negro voters in every section of Ohio remained faithfully with the grand old party. DR.

Address Boulevard 329 W. 500th St. Office 252 W. 47th S Sept. 24 th # A NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MUSIC My recent visit to Fink University was not only pleasant but very instructive; in fact the work of the school was a revolution. The music conservatory cannot be surpassed and should be made a National Music School for Negroes. It needs a much larger building for its work. I can concienly recommend every branch of its music department, for I do not believe it can be excelled as a preparatory school. The thoroughness of the work charmed me. The pupils of music have the musical atmosphere that colored students rarely enjoy. I swelled with pride as one after another mounted the platform to sing and play the same chops of music that the some grades are enjoying at Oberlin and the New England Conservatory of Music. Why cannot Fink University be made a National Music School for Negroes?"—Mme. E. Amalia Hackly. Should we have a National School of Music for Negroes? This is the question that has been offered for consideration by Mine. E. Azalia Hackley, who has just returned from a tour of the Southwest. Mine. Hackley visited Fisk University where she appeared in a recital. According to reports it was not long before Mine. Hackley was giving the music department of the university more serious thought than her recital. So impressed was she with the music department of Fisk University that she saw fit to express her opinions to the writer by letter, which we publish above. It is gratifying to note the great advancement being made by music lovers of the race. It is further gratifying to observe the tendency of colored musicians to study music in its higher branches. Even the colored shows within the past twelve months have evidenced a desire to give the public musical numbers which suggest other than ragtime. When we consider all these facts we are prompted to say that Music, Hackley's suggestion that a National Music School for Negroes be established is opportunistic and in order. Of course such a question as the establishment of a National School of Music for Negroes invariably brings about one inevitable result—another discussion as to whether there should be such a school in existence. Usually the latter question is answered and viewpoint expressed according to the section of the country in which the person lives. New Yorkers would, perhaps, say that we should not have such an institution, as the colored citizens of Manhattan are able to study in some of the best conservatories of the metropolis; so why bother about a separate school for Negroes? Then many Bostonians would throw up their hands in horror and explain: "Why, we have here some of the best conservatories in the United States where many colored musicians are studying; so why should we be in favor of "Jim Crowing" our ambitions musicians?" On the other hand, the majority of those living in the Southern States would heartily agree with the proposition, which goes to show that our opinions are oftimes formed according to our environment. Therefore, when a plan as suggested by Mime Hackley comes up for review we should not precipitately give our first opinions formed on the subject, but reason in a cool and conservative manner and ask this question: "Which plan would be the most beneficial to the greatest number?" According to statistics there are more colored students studying music in the Southland than in the North. Many of the Northern colleges are also attended by colored students who hail from the South and believe it is necessary to come North to receive the best musical education, which the writer believes is true at this time. With all respects to the leading colored institutions in the South where music is taught, none compares with many of the Northern conservatories attended, by colored students. Yet we believe that the time is not far distant when these Southern schools will be in a position to offer a similar course of study as do a number of our leading conservatories in such cities as New York and Boston. It would, however, be not only unfair but untrue to make the declaration that at this time the course of study taught in the leading colored universities in the South is on a par with the course of study offered by some of the Northern conservatories where colored young men and women attend. Whether Fisk University should be made a National School of Music for Negroes as suggested by Mine Hackley also calls for additional comment. There is noerving the Carnegie Nashville institu- the Durable contender the Durable colored cili- 2,001 voiced States deit it is the great of those to assert winning a Navi- leves in the to-day, an Americng city would be the face of school. Al- a a front-class conservatory of music, and considering it geographically, its selection as the leading school of music would be an ideal one. It is all well and good for those who live in New York, Boston and a few other cities where race prejudice is not encountered in wholesale lots to argue against establishing a school as proposed above, but how about the hundreds of young men and women who reside in other sections of the United States who are ambitious to study music, but have not the opportunity, either because the best schools will not accept them on account of color, or because they have not the financial wherewith to accomplish their aims? Hundreds of young men and women in this country who can't plead guilty of having the means or an opportunity to develop their musical talent would profit by the existence of a National School of Music. There are some who, finding it impossible to take a course of music in their home towns, go to Boston and enter the New English Conservatory of Music. But think of the hundreds who have talent but no money who are compelled to remain at [Image of a woman in a white dress with lace details, standing in a room with a fireplace and a window.

AZALIA HACKLEY WHO PROPOSES A NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MUSIC FOR NEGROES home and follow other vocations not in accord with their sympathies and tastes? Probably if we had a National School of Music the race would, out of the number referred to, be able to boast of a Enrico Caruso, a Mme. Tetrazzini, a Emmy Destinn; for the Negro is destined to play an important part in the musical world, and every member of the race should take a certain amount of interest in music—an art in which we are bound to play a prominent part at some future time, the time to be determined by a display of energy, an inclination toward philanthropy and a broadness of mind on our part, whether we live North, East, South or West.

JAPANESE DON'T KISS Bronze Japanese in New York Did Not Like "Seal Kiss" and "Waltz Dream." Last season hundreds went to the theatres on Broadway to see the "Soul Kiss" and the "Waltz Dream," two plays made notable on account of osculatory exhibitions which made the play "Romeo and Juliet" appear mild in comparison. The only people in New York who did not think well of the productions were the Japanese residents, who could not see anything in the kissing demonstrations. Recently the Hawaii Shinpo gave the following reasons why Japanese do not kiss: "Kissing, as an expression of affection, is unknown among the Japanese. To express affection in that way has, as a matter of fact, never occurred to the Japanese any more than the custom of rubbing, noses as a manner of salutation has occurred to Europeans. Emotional as the Japanese appear, any outward public expression of the love that an individual of one sex may bear toward an individual of the opposite sex does not manifest itself. It is considered, in fact, decidedly improper and not according to good taste. "In the Japanese language there is no verb 'to kiss' and no word that signifies the action. After the advent of Europeans into Japan and the introduction of the kissing bug, a Chinese character had to be used by the Japanese in writing the word. It may be that in having such a character in their written language the Chinese were in the one respect ahead of us—who knows? They have a word 'seppun', which is a combination of the two words 'touch' and 'lips' and which probably was coined by the Chinese at its face value, without signifying anything intrinsically significant, such as is conveyed in the English word 'kiss', with its rhyming bliss and Miss. "Kissing seems to be natural among Westerners, who are by nature and temperament openly affectionate, the one sex to the other, demonstrating their love in the sight of all. The reverse holds true with us. Social ostracism would follow any couple who openly demonstrated love for each other, and although this trait is wearing away somewhat in our contact with the West, never, enen in Honolulu, will a Japanese man and woman walk arm in arm in the public street. Still farther from their thoughts would be any desire to kiss each other. "Because the Japanese lack this demonstrative affection, foreigners are apt to misjudge us. They entertain the idea that marriages are contracted among the Japanese without the foundation of love and that love comes rarely to even husband and wife. Such a conception is wrong and does the Japanese an injustice. Every emotion that wrings the heart of one of the Western nation is experienced by the Japanese heart, and the flutter of love beats as steadily beneath the kimono as beneath laces and satin and broadcloth. "Japanese custom has been for so many centuries against outward manifestation of emotion, however, that it seems now to be instinctively planted in the Japanese character and thought to repress evidence of sex emotion. Such has been since the teachings of Confucius and Buddha were introduced into Japan. Prior to that time, we read in our histories, how freely love was expressed. "We read, for instance, the account of the pathetic parting between the great Prince Yamatodake and the beautiful Princess Tuchilim; how he, a warrior prince, in a voice rent with sight, expressed his grief at hearing in a beautiful poem; how, returning from the battlefield, he wept in memory of his beloved princess, who had sacrificed her life that his might be saved. "Confessionism and Buddhism moulded into cold stalemate the natural disposition and temperament of the Japanese as a race. But, he this so it may, we feel that because of this, deep in our hidden soul buras warmer the flame of our affection. "Japanese spectators would laugh at affections freely manifested by actors upon the stage, but they will cry when affection is suppressed, scantling the fierce heart and pains are there. Free expression of affection seems to us to make our affection sordid, commonplace and vulgar. Is it not more poetic to suppress these outward manifestations?" FROM A KITCHEN MECHANIC By P. B.

"If what you say is true; If these men couldn't see you, there's nothing left for you to do." "You make me sick," she said; "you don't know talent when shown; I'm going right back to the kitchen and leave the stage alone." Performers, send in your ad, at once for the big holiday number!

In Plymouth Congregational Church, famous the world over as the church of Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered a profound yet witty address before the Congregational Church Convention last Thursday evening, November 12. Speaking on the subject, "The Negro and the Church," Dr. Washington never spoke more happily or with better effect. In pointed and warmly applauded words he told of the economic and spiritual uplift of his race by the influence of the Christian religion. Through the demands of the church, the school and the home, the speaker declared, Christianity has increased the wants and inspired the progress of my race. "Through the promotions of the living doctrine of the brotherhood of man and the development of my race's religion, my race has been encouraged to go onward and upward. Race friction the world hears about, but the harmonious relations and the progress of the Negroes in a thousand Southern communities are never told." The large audience formally extended a vote of thanks to the speakers of the evening. Example 1.4 The entertainment given at the Bethel A. M. E. Church last Friday evening by Prof. Brown, the well-known phrenologist, was well attended. Among those read were Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, of Chestnut street. The concert given at Oak Street A. U. M. P.

When the time to go home ar- rived these two: innocent and highly re- spected girls accepted the offer ofa married man to see them home. It nist be remembered the giris were personally acquainted with the man's wife, who in turn held the girls in the highest e¢s- teem;. but as they were masked and were not known when seen by the wife they were so. severely punished. cach screamed for help. The husband was almost powerless in keeping his wife from doing serious injury to each. For- tunately they were separated and_ in their hoines before officers arrived. The wife was very much grieved when told who the girls were. It. is encouraging to note the cor- diality and courtesy with which your representative is received all over the diy.

Many of these are pastors who come for the winter months. . The college department has about the same number, most of whom are planning for post-graduate work in other institutions or will enter the work of teaching or the ministry. The graduating class this year from all departments will number forty-one. The usual enrolimentis about seven. hun- dred for the year. The college spirit_ among the students was never better. There ts an earnest- ness of purpose and a hunger for knowledge that is inspiring and which certainly argues good for the future. The college band is winning great honor for the institution. It has more oppor- tunities for engagements that it is able to fill, The boys played every day dur- ing the great State fair of the colored people of South Carolina, and easily won the prizes in the band contests.
