Favors Negro Exposition White Press of the South Declares for Big Celebration PROGRESS OF RACE - Remarkable Achievement of the Negro Since Freedom likely to be celebrated in 1913. ATLANTA CONSTITUTION Tells Whites of the South to Support Movement-Booker T. Washington Urges That Exposition be field. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga., November 2—Many of the leading papers of the South are enthusiastic over the proposed plan being advocated that the Negroes of the United States hold a National exposition in 1913, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the race. The Atlanta Constitution is one of the strongest supporters of the movement, and last Sunday commented as follows on an article written by Booker T Washington urging that a big exposition be held. "Elaborating a theme upon which The Constitution has already commented, Booker T Washington elsewhere in today's issue strongly pleads for a great national exposition to celebrate the progress and achievements of the Negro race during half a century of freedom, and to be held in 1913. "He stresses as one of the salient features of such an undertaking the necessity and justice of the white people of the South lending the project their heartiest moral and material endorsement. "His reasoning is eminently correct. The semi-centennial of the emancipation of the race in America affords an excellent opportunity for the white people to the law-abiding Negro evidences of substantial encouragement in the fight he is making toward the solution of his grave fundamental problems." "The present and future salvation of the Negro race lies in the hands of the patient, industrious, peaceable and law-respecting Negro. It is his kind that has, in the half century intervening since emancipation, wright stealthily and unremittingly at the task of self-development, enduring the handicap of often being confused with the lawless element and exerting his every effort to preserve a basis of unity and accord with his white neighbor. It is this element of the Negro that most strikingly deserves the support of the Southern people. We should most sharply differentiate between his class and the stripe of worthless and inefficient Negroes that bring reproach upon the race and that hamper every movement aimed at progress. "As Booker Washington says, the South is pre-eminent the best friend to the Negro, as well as the home of the overwhelming proportion of the race in America. It is likely to remain so "The semi-centennial celebration suggestion already has the general approval of the Southern press, which believes that such an exposition would benefit both white and Negro, in emphasizing the progress of the latter and the endly attitude of the former" Dr. Washington's Inauguration. In 1913, four years from now, the Negro will have been free fifty years. I have spoken with several Southern men, colored men, and all those with whom I have spoken have stated their belief that the anniversary of this event in my opinion was just as important to the South, as a whistle as it was in the Negro should be fittily celebrated. At a recent meeting of the National degree Business League, I asked it but was proposed that I should take the first step in a movement for giving students a celebration union war. So it became a number of Negro organizations individuals has a signed tiger in the proposed expedition, and asked the wish that I should takeled in the matter. I overcame this by asking me to order or take in the task of organizing such a celebration. I have said that I would conditon that it have the good will and the moral conditon of Southern white people as well as Northern white people as Negro tax. of have stated further that the school that such an expatriate should to meet not merely the progress which showed him to have made in freedom but the Negress he made between freedom the priests of slavery came, at this time going further With details the troubled fact into the that 10,000,000 of Negroes in stands the greater part of which America all their lives in the Southern have spat all their lives in the Southern State are in a simple matter of fact in government, a hundred years and more where else in the world Negroes people, North and South, all of white, have had their part in black and white. THE NEW bringing about this progress. Hence it seems fitting that such a celebration as is proposed should not only command the sympathy of both black people and white people, but should represent, in its results, their united efforts. I believe it will have to provide I have an exposition, representing the progress of a whole race from barbarism to Christian civilization, which will astonish the world. I believe the time has come, also, when all the people of this country, black and white, North and South, are prepared to rejoice that slavery is at an end. If such an exposition as I have described should be held in celebration of this event, I would advocate that the emphasis should be placed on those images which have tended, not only in freedom, but also in slavery to uplift and Christianize the Negro; upon those things which will show to the world what the Negro has accomplished because of the support and interest of the white people who live in the South, the white people who live in the North, as well as upon those efforts which the Negro himself has made for the education and higher civilization of the race I believe that aside from every other value such an exposition would have, it would be worth while for the encouragement it would give to the members of my race in emphasizing the interest which the world-at-large, and especially the Southern people, have in their progress The masses of the Negro people are better off in my opinion, in the Southern States than in any other part of the world, and for that reason, if for no other, the masses of the people are going to remain in the South. That being so, I believe every sensible person will want to do all he can to see that the black man leads such a life here in the South as will make him of the highest usefulness to himself and to the community in which he lives. Everyone knows that a race, like an individual, is always more useful when the race is cheerful happy and making progress. A discontented, morose and embittered people is a greater burden than any country can afford to carry. Everything, therefore, that arouses interest in the development of the masses of the Negro race and tends to make them more contented, more happy and more useful, should enlist the helpful sympathy of their neighbors. Such an exhult as I have tried to describe will go further toward blotting out racial bitterness, wherever it may exist, than anything which I can at present mention. It would show how the white man of the South has assisted the Negro since he became free in every moral and material condition. It will show how the Negro has been assisted in the matter of saving money, buying land and going into business; how he has been protected in time of trouble and assisted in a hundred ways of which the outside world has no knowledge but which it is important that the world should know and recognize In planning for such an exposition, I would strongly urge that each State in addition to what the colored people themselves might do and in addition to what the national government might be called upon to do—should make an appropriation for an exhibit of the progress of the Negro people of that State. Such an exposition should be held at some central point in some Southern State which could be easily reached by people from every part of the country. I especially at the present time, when the people of Europe are grappling agree before with the African problem with a view of solving it. I believe that we could make an exhibit that would set them such an example in the way of proper treatment of the Black people as would exert a beautiful influence upon the people of Africa in which the Southern people are quite as much interested as any other portion of the world. I mention in these facts here because while not overlooking the frequent acts of friction between the races and not attempting to imminent the imminent which the Negro in the South frequently suffers. I think there does not exist a genre in the world where two races in character and so large in number are living side by side, properly and successfully part of the Negro and the white in the Southern State. If at large urged that there have been a great expansion of various kinds at home, and in reply that the will be held so certain different in character from every other country in that I believe the country will feel that there is a real need for it, I will support it. I order that we express that will be credited to the need it will be necessary to begin at an early date to make preparations but as I have said I should not desire to take a permanent part in this matter unless I follow that all the people of both trees would lend their hearts support to the work.

November 2—One of the most remarkable and far-reaching decisions on Southern conditions ever handed down by the United Supreme Court was that given Monday through Chief Justice Fuller, denying the petition of Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga, Tenn., for a new trial Joseph F. Shipp, sheriff his deputy, Jeremiah Gibson, who was the jailer, and four residents of Chattanooga, Luther Williams, Nick No'an, Henry Padgett and William Mayes, were convicted last spring by the Supreme Court of contempt for conspiring in the lynching in March, 1905, of Ed Johnson, a Negro, whose case on appeal was being passed upon by the Federal Circuit Court Johnson was convicted by the Tennessee State courts of assault upon a white woman and was sentenced to be hanged. So irregular and prejudicial were the proceedings that the federal court had decided to review the proceedings and had accordingly granted him a stay of execution. The evidence pointed not only to the conclusive guilt of the four citizens indicted, but to a laxity and collusion of the sheriff and his deputy with the mob bent on lynching. Attorney-General Bonaparte immediate's instituted proceedings against Shipp and his jailer and twenty-five others supposed to have been implicated in the lynching, charging them with contempt of the Supreme Court. Many of the accused were exonerated and in the end only six were found guilty. It lies in the discretion of the court to fine or imprison the men or to punish them. The court also last spring nor during the consideration of their petitions as to what course may be pursued. Considering the gravity of their offence, the Southern States have all along been much exercised, resenting what they termed federal interference with State rights. The daily press of that section and especially those of Tennessee, took up the case, decaiming not only on that score but arguing that under any circumstances the courts without overt acts could not be guilty of conspiracy. The privilege much cherished by Southerners of correcting their Negroes by whatever methods seemed to them good without questioning by their responsibility to outside authority, their saw was at issue. They pitted their whole case upon Sheriff Shipp and be he alone a hero at not a google and a murder. When the convicted party was summoned to appear in Washington for contempt on line, their departure was made the occasion of a remarkable ovation. Twenty-two hundred South-crooks gathered at the Chattanooga station, cheering them assuring them of their support and presenting them with those honours.

T A P IN MARYLAND Proposed Amendment to Disfranchise Voters Loses. DEMOCRATIC TRICKERY Thousands of Ballots Thrown Out on Account of Trick Ballots, yet Measure Meets Defeat. Special to THE NEW YORK AGM. BALTIMORE, Md., November 2.—one disfranchising constitution amendment, under which the Democratic organization expected to shut out 50,000 Negro voters in Maryland, was defeated Tuesday by a majority of 8,000 to 6,000. The re-election of Controller Hering, head of the Democratic State ticket, by a substantial majority, is indicated by returns received up to a late hour. The Legislature will be Democratic in both branches, insuring the re-election of United States Senator Rayner Four years ago an amendment similar to the one defeated, though more drastic in its provisions, was rejected by 34,0558 majority. At that time Governor Warfield and his following of Democrats, together with the entire independent vote, were against the amendment. A large proportion of the Warfield element voted for the amendment. The vote in some of the strongly Democratic counties was not as heavy for the amendment as had been expected. The western section of the State rolled up its usual Republican majority. Hundreds of ballots which represented votes against the amendment were thrown out in the eastern and southern counties in which trick ballots were used. These ballots were so confusing that few men excepting Democrats who were posted beforehand could mark them intelligently. Some of these ballots were four or five feet long, without any party designations, and the names of the various candi- hours, and it is probable that between 10,000 and 20,000 ballots will be thrown out as unproperly marked. Two-thirds or more of these were voted by illiterate Negroes and white Republicans. In one Baltimore precinct and in several districts in the lower counties ballots were found already marked for the amendment. In Alleghegh, Garret Washington, Charles, Calbert and St Mary's Counties there was a heavy vote against the amendment, and all these counties have gone strongly Republican, despite the complicated ballots in Charles and other Southern counties that More Negroes voted intelligently that was expected although hundreds of the Negroes' ballots incorrectly marked are being thrown out. In Worcester, United States Senator Smith's county the amendment is running behind, but the Democrat's ticket has a large margin. inification of the settlement of the foreign born voters against the amendment as shown by the vote in the third and other downtown wards in Balki more, in which a large proportion of the voters are naturalized citizens. Hundreds of the foreign born citizens voted against the amendment because they were ennounced that its ratification would ultimately impel their franchise should any political machine in control conclude to limit the foreign vote. Under the amendment the test could be made in such a way as to affect these voters seriously. Returns from both atlantic and state indicate that hundreds of undemocratic who hold the balance of votes in the State voted against the amendment and for the Democratic State to hold tickets.

Guest of Honor at Tunkogee Institute last week—Praised by Booker T. Washington. Special to The New York Age. TUSKEEGE, ALA, November 2.—Last week the Hon. Ernest Lyon, American Minister Resident and Consul-General to Liberia, was guest at a number of entertainments given in his honor during his stay at Tuskegee Institute He remained here until Wednesday when he left for the East. Dr. Lyon was present at the first meeting held by The Twentieth entury Club, for the school year of 1909 and 1910, on Saturday evening. October 23, at the residence of Dr. J. A. Kenney There was a full attendance of members. The paper of the evening was furnished by Emett J. Scott, who spoke somewhat in detail of his experiences and observations as a member of the late American. Commission to the Republic of Liberia. Minister Lyon, who was also present, spoke of the services rendered Liberia by Booker T. Washington, the general reception point of the American Commission during its visit to the little Negro Republic. At the present time, he said: "There is the greatest enthusiasm and hopefulness among the Liberians as to the future, provided they receive the support from the United States that they have now come to expect." On Sunday evening, October 24, Minister Lyon spoke to the teachers, families, and student body as a whole, following Principal Washington's Sunday evening taal. "In introducing him, Principal Washington said "We have been favored by visits from a good many distinguished persons, some of them in private life and some in public life, but this is the first time in the history of the school that we have ever been favored with a visit from a Minister to a foreign country of our own race. I am sure that you join with me in welcoming to this institution, in his official capacity and in his private capacity as a citizen, Hon. Ernest Lyon, United States Minister to the Republic of Liberia History, I think, will show, if it has not already manifested it, that if Liberia is saved as an independent republic, and I believe that it will be, it will owe more to Mr. Ernest Lyon, our Minister, for its salvation than to any other single individual.

They were not an opinion that members of the race held there, we were included in hold them there, we were trying to get closer together desired ridicule the people of the black race Upon being informed that the representative of Hayt sent to Washington and other cities in the United States had never shown a desire to affiliate with the Negroes in Uncle Sam's main, socially or otherwise, although they had been given every opportunity to do so, the members of the Hayt parties expressed much surprise, and ferred to H Paulus Sannon, the new Minister for Hayt, who is well known by the Negroes of Washington, D. It was news to them that Minister Sannon is the first official from Hayt to associate with the members of the state at Washington. While discussing the relationship entering between the Haytians and Negroes of the United States Commander, Miller gave out the following statement: "I must say that we are going to home with a much higher regard for the American Negro. I am glad state that from now on I will feel comfortable to race in this country. While New York City we have met some cellenl Negroes, persons whom we would not be opposed to coming to Hayt." "For many years I have been committed to New York, and this is the first that we were guests at a colored house. Herefore we have stopped at French hotels. We are glad, however, that we came to the Hotel Macao, for it has given us an opportunity to meet only a number of brilliant Negroes. In the past it always appeared to me that the Negroes of this country were more prouded against us than the whites. Often while on the street I have taken them stop and poke fun at us. My time such was not the case, for we came in contact with a different class. "President Simon is going to make a great executive for Haytil. He more broad-minded and democratic than former Presidents. He is anxious that we become better acquainted, which he has been demonstrated by the presence of Minister Simon at Washington, a man who is on friendly terms with the Negroes. "I fully believe that an era of fellowship is to soon set in, of the Haytil and the American. I will be the principals. I am glad I can go to my country with him. I feel feeling for the Negroes of the United States that I have done the past." Commander in Chief Simon and I came to New York to accept on behalf of the Haytil Government the grant of Liberty which was presented to me by Edward Blanco. Last Wednesday the Liberian christened by Mme H Pauleus-Sainte-wife of the Haytian Minister, atington, at the Tebo Yacht Basin, Sannon christened the gunboat by bringing a bottle of champagne, and binnacle Beside Mme Sainte-wife the Minister and Mme, of friendship Hollison, Mass., Nov. 8. -Some time ago the Fourth Ward Political Club which is composed of young colored men, sent out a eplurgic letter to the colored voters, which said in part that the colored citizens are already informed that the present Democratic administration in Cambridge disregards qualifications and fitness in a man so long as he is a Democrat, and he must be white at that. Notwithstanding the fact that a large number of colored men voted that ticket in the last municipal election, this particular voter has come to the aid of an awakening among the colored voters, and also in both parties. Eight months have nearly gone by and no notice whatever has been paid to the colored people by the present administration. The indicative pulses of the members of the Fourth Ward Political Club and the Second Ward Association of the Seventh Ward in fighting for colored representation in the next municipal election are assuming definite shape. Mrs. Pauline Parham, the wife of Mr. J. A Parham of Portland street, died last Friday evening after being confined to the house for many months. Mrs. Parham was born in Franklin County, N. C., 38 years ago. She has been in Cambridge about five years, but during her short time in Cambridge she made many friends. To know her was to love her. She was a devotee in the St. Stephen's Baptist church, on Harvard street, from which a funeral was conducted, by the Rev. Johnson W. Hill, the pastor, assisted by the Revs. Jessie Harrell, of the Union Baptist Church and A. V Norton, of the St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. The Cambridge Men's Forum was enlivened by an open discussion and an excellent musical program. The subject of the discussion was "How can we best help the Forum? The writer observed from the many books I took in women in the admittance of women in the Forum is not far off. This has been the burning question of the Forum for years, and the outlook at this time is bright; I favor of admitting women. Among those who took part in the musical program rendered, were W. F. Hamilton, who sang a baritone solo, accompanied by one solo to solo was given by Mrs. Lillian B Noble, accompanied by Mrs. Mamie Hamilton. New life is being taken in the Cambridge Men's Forum as was shown at the annual election of officers on last Tuesday evening, when President S. B. Noble was re-elected for the ensuing year by an overwhelming majority, and Jno. T. Harrison was re-elected by a unanimous ballot. The work by the men during their term of office has been commendable in every respect. The Cambridge Men's Forum has certainly lived up to its objects in many ways during the year of 1908-9. It has been said that the Forum has had as its guest more distinguished persons to grace their platform than any colored organization in the country. ```markdown ``` Bengal Pupils Entertain - Phillips Give Chassy Hollowes. **SEMPHOTEL, Mass., November 2.**—A musicale, which was quite entertaining, and at this evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rollin, of Walnut court, by the pupils of Miss Bessie Rollin.

BALTIMORE, Md., November 3—Dr. Ernest Lyon, United States Minister to Liberia, who is in this country on a turfough, is extremely busy filling engagements here and there. Since his visit to Liberia, he has been involved in engagements to speak on various subjects, especially on conditions in Liberia. His recent visit to Tuskegee Institute was cut short by being summoned back to Maryland to deliver addresses against disfranchisement, at Hagerstown, Cumberland and other places. He ordered signed statements in this regard and he is held in the highest esteem by the party leaders. Dr. Lyon spoke to over 1,200 young people at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. "This subject was to have been "No Triumph Without Sacrifices," but the audience demanded that speak on conditions in Liberia, which did not entertain and instructive way to the delight of the audience. He was in Washington Monday and Tuesday, where he held conferences with leading officials' of the Department of State. To-night he was one of the speakers at a mass meeting held in the interest of Liberia missions at Lutheran Temple in Philadelphia, when two white men came to Liberia as missionaries were invited to a full reception. Dr Lyon speaks enthusiastically of his recent visit to Tuskegee, saying: "I was extremely well pleased with what I saw at Tuskegee, the visit a revelation to me. Even though of the ground one finds it almost impossible to comprehend the magnitude of Dr. Washington's work. Upon men and conditions is wonderful. His work is a benefit to humanity and must in a particular sense redound to the glory of the Negro race on this globe." JAMES CITY DESTROYED. North Careina Prosperous — Negro Town Almost Wicked Out. NEWBURN, N. C., Nov. 2.—There were three very successful Baptist Association sessions held recently. One at Guildford Baptist Church, Newbern, N. C., Rev. H. M.

They were inspiring messages. Rev. J. L.

The Newbern District Conference was held October 5 to 8, at Jacksonville, N. C. Rev. W. J. Moore presided. It was a most harmonious, businesslike, and uplifting session. Great sermons preached, papers read, and many souls spirited a spirit of the Christ, were the features. The United States Court is now in session at this place and many visitors from various counties are in attendance at its sessions. Several white counterfeiters were found guilty and sentenced to the Federal prison for making and passing silver dollars. There were numerous cases of slander selling without license.

He is the first Negro to be elected to the City awarded to three young women for the best decorated tables in the Tale Decoration Contest of the Creative Division. At 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening a formal banquet at Prentice Washington's house was tendered to the Lyon business men from the town office, and in addition representatives from the academic, agricultural and mechanical departments were present. The table had been beautifully decorated with green floral arrangements, profusion at Tuskegee at the tables. The menu was as follows: "Most of the American Members represent this country in Liberia have gone there and remained probably on their own, but many of the people they have received, and have served in way their official duty, but from the very beginning up to the present, Mr. Lyon has taken a deep interest, a vital interest, in all that concerns that country, and has been through his indomitable worth, that had in this country some few months ago the Liberian Envoys. Their visit resulted in arousing the interest of the people of this country in the present and future condition of Liberia. They would have been very happy to have Mr. Lyon's good offices in behalf of the Republic. "As a result of the visit of the Envoys to this country, the American Government sent to Liberia a Commission, of whom our Mr. Scott was, and it was largely through Mr. Lion's helpfulness that this Commission was able to accomplish in so short a time the work it was sent there to accomplish, and I believe that the report which the Commission has made to this Government together with the influence of Minister Lion, has resulted in saving Liberia as an independent Negro Republic. "We have great pleasure in bidding him welcome to Tuskegee and I am sure you will gladly listen to all that he has to say." Mr Lyon was attentively listened to. He spoke of the habits, traditions, customs, etc., of the people in the most interesting way and at the end of his talk, despite the fact that it was Sunday evening, was loudly spoken.

In publishing in another column this week an extract from a book contributed by Dr. Booker弘弘 to The New York Institute of March 15, 1908 Dr.弘弘 argued in that article the need of an International Council of Friends of Africa." Now is peri- time for this movement to take a port of the American Commiss- Republic of Liberia which is soon to be published by the Department, calls attention to Africa and the whole African people interested, as our people should be, in any movement for the improvement of our lives, for all time to con- tinue to the population of Military Academy of the United States, Charleston, S.C. Military Academy as Moorhead, Dr. Breast Lyon, American Minister to Liberty, and other friends of the African; are forming plans to put in operation the movement set forth in Dr. Washington's article. The Ans, in advance, wishes to pledge its support to this movement. It is pregnant with possibilities of the most far-reaching character. Such a movement engineered by disinterested friends is bound to be an effective instrument in helping forward the cause of the black man in Africa, and, of course, what lifts the African in Africa helps, at the same time, to lift the Negro not only in this country, but in all other quarters of the world. A TRULY CHRISTIAN SOLDIER. Two things above all others, perhaps will remain the priceless heritage of the Negro through the life just closed of the last of the ranking Union commanders in the Civil War, General O. O. Howard. Howard University, the greatest academic Negro institution of the country was established by the government primarily through the instrumentality of Oliver Otis Howard. It was General Howard, then connected with the Freedman's Bureau, who asked the Negro school children of Georgia: "What message shall I take from you to the people of the North." It was R.R. Wright who answered promptly: "Tell them we are rising." Immortalized in song and verse the phrase became an accepted slogan to the Negro. It proved an inspiriting message from the Southern Negro to his Northern friends. These are two but by no means the greatest services of General Howard. No Union general perhaps, fought more fiscally and none fought on so many scenes of the Civil War. At both battles of Bull Run, at Antietam, at Fredericksburg, at Chancellorsville, at Gettyburg, at Chatanoga, at Atlanta, and on Sherman's march to the sea. General Howard led the bloody and persistent right. At the close of the war he continued his high and patriotic role in the uplift of the Negro and the cause of Union. Grant was grim and resolute, Sherman was stern and able, Sheridan was dashing but of them all Howard was pious and irrepressible. Nearly four score years of age, he had served the Nation and the Negro well. In war and in peace, he was the highest type of true Christian soldier. CIVILIZATION IN MISSISSIPPI. According to the dispatch which we publish below, civilization must be at a low ebb in the State of Mississippi. More in detail and in more years, we will present the results of our civilization in Mississippi, superior to civilization in Illinois, in the world does Jackson, Miss, have to send all the way to Chicago to get people with brains, skill and talent enough to serve a banquet? What has Gov. Vardaman been doing all the years that he has been running loose up and down the state? We quote the dispatch: "Ontario, October 28.—In their effort to "give President Taft the royal welcome to the United States," Tuesday, the citizens of Jackson, Mesa, are having an entire banquet furnished from Chicago. The hotel where the dinners are held, the chairs and the tables, Lilian, China, glassware, silverware and food will be shipped from Chicago. Forty servants, the finest cooks to be found in Chicago, will travel the 788 miles to the Mississippi city to prepare and serve the repast in the kitchen. Of the food, only one of pompano and roast wild turkey, both of which are native of Mississippi, will be obtained there. No wines will be shipped from Ontario as Mississippi is a prohibition State." If the above dispatch represents the true state of things, we think we are safe in saying that President Taft is going to Jackson to get an idea of Mississippi civilization, not of Illinois civilization. President Taft would have enjoyed, we are sure, a good old-fashioned dinner of hog-jowl, cabbage and pumpkin pie much more than he would an imported banquet from Chicago. Instead of abusing the Negro in the future, let the white people of Mississippi train the Negro so that he can serve a banquet equal to an imported one from Chicago. As it is, we venture to say that there are a hundred Negroes in Mississippi who could serve a banquet just as acceptably as the Chicago contingent will serve it. The trouble with the Mississippi white people is they do not know their own Negroes. DEATH OF PERRY CARSON. In the death of Col. Perry Carson at Washington, D. C., who a decade ago had a national political name there passes one of the Negro's most picturesque political figures. He was of the Douglas, Bruce, Pinchback school of political leaders, remarkably astute in taking advantage of their opportunity and effective in the councils of the Republican party. Time and again, as the so-called boss of Negro Washington, he went as delegate to national conventions. Changing conditions relegated Perry Carson as other Negro political leaders to the rear, but in his native ability and impressive appearance he was always a credit to his race. Like Frederich Doughlass he stood in the breach in trying times. He set a large example in ability and effectiveness for future Negro Me visited with other students of New York in the winter of 1981 with Fusion ticket. In the election of President McAnney to the presidency of the United of Manhattan we especially relied on Long and faithfully has he served the city and the Negro and his reward has come well earned from the gratitude of his black as well as white fellow-citizens. High of character, efficient and experienced, New York has done itself proud in the selection of its present governing body. Now that Fusion has won we would urge that they too give the Negro consideration in the way of official recognition. DISFRANCHISEMENT DEFEATED. The defeat of the Negro disfranchising amendment in Maryland is cause for rejoicing to the entire Negro race. This second attempt of the Maryland Democratic machine not only preserves Maryland a two party State unmarked by that most un-American of political crimes, race disfranchisement but has stayed the progress of the exclusion of the Negro in the Southern States. Lining up every element of decency in the State against the amendment, including conservative and patriotic Democrats we shall now expect to see the other Southern states at no late date rebelling against the despotism and degrading influence of the disfranchising party. ISAAC FISHER Perhaps few members of our race outside of Arkansas know of Isaac Fisher The whole race ought to know him. He has recently done something that helps the ten million of Negroes in America. It is a remarkable achievement. A few months ago the Manufacturers' Record, published in Baltimore, Md., offered a number of prizes for the best essay on the subject of "Good Roads." Isaac Fisher wrote an essay on the subject, sent it to the editor of The Record and was awarded the second prize of $100 Think of it! Here were hundreds of the brightest brains in the white race competing for these prizes, and a young Negro educated at Tuskegee, Ala. His parents were slaves. He worked his way through school, and is now President of the State Normal School at Pine Bluff, Ark. This Negro was victorious, coming out second in the face of such severe competition. When such things are growing month by month there is great hope for the race. It was only the fair, but a very fine thing, too, in the editor of the Manufacturers' Record to award this Negro the second prize. questionable philanthropy in contributing a million dollars for the study and cure of the "lazy disease" of Southern whites. The modern mind has made a disease of every untoward physical phenomenon and has laid the burden of blame on the overworked germ theory. Now, upon the inherited and ingrained laziness of the Southern sand-hiller and cracker, it has charitably bestowed the name of the hook-worm disease. Although that pestiferous little germ has not been corrupted, he must be there, and one million dollars the oil magnate has sent in search of him. Since John Smith came to Virginia with his band of gentlemen fops in 1607; since Oglethorpe went to Georgia and called thither all the poor debtors and tired apprentices and political malcontents of the mother country in 1738; ever since slave labor made work for white men dishonorable in Dixie, the poor whites of the South have been lazy. So long as Southern legislatures refuse to enforce education because of their fear of Negro education; so long as they are more concerned with Negro repression than with Southern construction, so long as the Southern's time is consumed in Negro envy and his sport is Negro baiting, industry will be discounted there and laziness will continue. The evidence of history points too much one way to need reproduction as to the cause of Southern shiftlessness in the past. Education and equal opportunity for both races are the obvious cures of it to-day. If one million dollars were devoted to industrial education for Southern whites and to teaching them that labor is honorable and that progress comes from personal effort rather than race oppression it would go farther than ten millions in the study of a supposed disease. One million dollars in the cause of laziness is mighty sweet. But it will not hurt Mr Rockefeller. It will hardly help the "poor whites."

The people of New Haven have set the Negroes of other New England cities a splendid example in electing a political leader through whom consideration has been promised and expected.

Washington, D.C. toth or tolp Which? The country is taking testimony as to whether the Negro will celebrate his phenomenal progress in 1913 or wait until 1919. A correspondent who puts up a pleasing argument in favor of 1918, declares that the emancipation of the race sounds a note of triumph and makes for a period of rejoicing, while the advent of the slave, upon this, soil marked the threshold of sorrow and travail. He thinks the Lincoln proclamation was the real beginning of the Negro as a citizen, and that the date of this celebration should hinge upon this rather than upon the adventitious circumstances which made 1610 historic. Let the discussion go on. It is bound to be illuminating. It will open up some lines of investigation touching our inner selves that may not be evolved through any other channel. Still we have a semi-centennial of the birth of freedom, or shall we continue our bur ter-centennial as sojourners in American soil? In any event, we shall all agree that hold shall be held, handled through the material evidence which have made the National Business League the most effective business league of the life of America. MARINE HOSPITAL. Dr. Charles Wardwell Sites has been led down to the midnight blushing all over and literally smothered in Perture and flowers. Which fall in showers. That lightly rained from ladies' hands, because he is the "discoverer" of the hookworm. Dr. Sites is now in the Marine Hospital Service. He used to be a professor in the Department of Agriculture, but he now is fairly low key, for a better salary, perhaps for more congenial parrunaits. Maybe he wilted under the arid eye of tana Jim and flowed all events he is now a Marine Hospital expert, he has "discovered" the hookworm, and bouquets and nosegays, even on his bulging chest. In Volume II, at page 312, of John Fisker's famous work "Old Virginia and the Mystery of Sight," he sought light. In 1729 Colonial Byrd, after personal inspection in which by that time he had become expert, wrote of North Dakota. Edanton, then the seat of government; "The men make their wives rise out of their beds early in the morning; at the same time they turn one-third of his course and peril all the unwholesome dams. Then after stretching and yawning for half an hour light the pipe and amber the protection from the sun out into the open air, though if it happens to be never so little cold they quickly return shivering into the chimney corner. In the end they bring in both their arms upon the cornfield science and gravelly consider whether the hat best and gravelly can best be worn, generally find something to put it off until another time. Thus they loiter away their lives like Solomon's slugger, with their arms across, and at last up of the year scarcely have to bread to eat." Colonel Byrd was a great man in his day. He first went from England to Virginia at the instigation of the London Mounted Army, and then he mounted and colonized. Then he received a grant, on part of which the present city of Richmond now stands. Then he built Westover the sweetest place upon the river. He was a traveller, an investigator and a commentator. So he went to North Carolina, where the "poor whites," having fed from law and order in the older colonies, settled in the new colony and peppers beyond the breach of constables. He draws a picture of the lazy and improvident settler of 1720 that will fit in the day. Nothing has changed. The men are as fierce in the mountains and as aftershift in the sand hills as their forebears. The Appalachian land were twelve generations ago. Their habits and the ideals are intact, and the feuds of the Appalachian and the Piedmont Indians were handed down without a wrinkle in the page. Dr. Stiles says that all this is the bookworm's destructive industry. Colonialism is their perpetuation of original crossness. But Dr. Stiles is not as narrow as he seems. He may want the roses and the peonies, he may want the children, he may ready told us that sallow and amuse children taken from the farm—the Bryd farm to a dot—and transplanted to sanitary condition soon.

We look to him to show us delights for teachers, doctors and cheerfuls. What the Narrator From Here to Say The Narrator has reached a time in its career when in two lines of essential endeavor, young men do not flock with the vigor and enthusiasm, as they do to other professions. Young men do not seek the office, but a comparative few aspire to be ministers and journalists. And yet, no factors in our national life are more essential than re-aching the pulpit and the press. It has been said that no race can rise higher than its women. It may as truthfully be said that no race can rise higher than its pulpit and its press. From these two sources of information, inspiration, correction and conservation, we may well express our opinions and expressions reflect the attitude and mind of the people which they represent. If the people are inclined to be shiftless, they will not be able to succeed. Indeed, that the pulpit and press will be likewise. While on the other hand, if the people are progressive, energetic and keen, they will rise to the dignity of the occasion. Why, then, do not more of our capable young men go into the ministry? Why do not more of our capable men go into the ministry? Why do not more men in that profession?—The Cleveland Journal. The expected match between Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson is the almost exclusive topic among sporting people all over the country. One unfortunate phase of the content is that it has become a question of color. White people all over the country are not as well known as the title of champion pugilist of the world, and nothing has done more to bring Jeffries into the ring again, than the fact that Johnson, a Negro, has won the It is openly admitted that no living white pugilist stands any show against Johnson, but Jeffries, and the Jeffries fails to remain with the Negro until some white man can be found who can wrest it from the Negro. Jeffries is the only pugilist not been whipped by somebody, and it's too bad that he has allowed color prejudice to make him come from accession to try to bring back the championship to the white world, but then such a thing as going at a thing at the wrong time, and very many of those who like much to such as Jeffries will Johnson is the one wrong time for Jeffries—Newport News Star. It is now very evident that the colored people are not treated right nor given their political strength in this county. The colored vote in this county is large, and the voters will not forget this non-reognition when the day of help is In the court house force we have one junior, only one. Who do depress the colorado people helped to put the county officials where they are. In the city hall not even a dozen people helped to sweep on the streets. Yet you saw fit to assist in the election of the Democrats. The colored people voted enough votes. We helped them; Sherman. Now we are "up against it." There are Republicans in office also who absolutely refuse to help people helped them; their days are numbered. The colored people must combine in a coalition to help them; if there cannot be a complete change made and men placed in office who recognize the fact that people are early, to consider how these follow are doing.

The quirks and turns of racial and religious prejudice are odd and somewhat incomprehensible. It is but a manifestation of the antipathy of the government, and also the illogorized. The hatred—of one race for the other is, to a very large extent, the hatred of oppressed people, not necessarily racial, though this is the superficial aspect. It is a manifestation of a common human phenomenon—the intense dislike of a man toward a person who has wronged—The Cambridge Advocate. Hell has been rampant and desperate through all the rolling years since inocence and insubordination were unseated in heaven; but hell was never more rampant, desperate and conscienessal than in the past. It behaves every good citizen and especially the leaders in the ranks of the opposing party to watch last victory now. They are not the ones who are breezed from us in the hour of counting, for the gang is desperate. They are making their last stand. Begumed and disgusted, they will not scruple at any desperate act to win. We firmly believe that the amendment is beaten at the bar and the only thing left now to do is to see that the verdict is not unrightfully rendered against us. Therefore we re-confirm the urgency of the notification, Vote, Watch and Pray—The Baltimore Afro-American. The Reformer is heartily in favor of the proposed semi-centennial exposition in 1913 to mark the fifteenth milestone of the Negro progress as an citizen. It will be held in the city but placed before the world, and the greatest care must be exercised to see that the management falls to the right side of the road. There are two or three individuals who claim leadership in the movement by virtue of priority of suggestion; but that point is of minor consequence. The first real step was taken by the National Negro League last August at Louisville, when a declaration was adopted to the effect that a special committee, with Dr. Booker as chairman, will determine the charge of the matter and work out a definite plan of action. At the December meeting of the executive committee the question will doublet be fully threshed and the Negro business country. The unselfish members of the race are content to entrust the details of this enterprise to the National Negro Business League. They prefer to look to it rather than defer to results—The Richmond Reformer. Negro bankers have made a great record in this country. They have gone deep into the business of money paniets the States have ever known, and still the failures are less than ninety percent of the whole. Of the fifty odd bankers in the United States, the majority have been by men known to the people, and their methods of conducting banks are such that the closing of other banks has officials of both institutions report that their depositors are gradually increasing, and that the closing of other banks has speaks well for the Negroes of this city; and what is true of the two banks here is also true of the banks conducted by them about the country—The Negroile Globe. --- We point with pride to the record of some of the religious bodies in their work to help uplift the Negroes. The Methodist Church is the largest church for one of their general offices, with salary equal to the white general officers. One of the secretaries of the Epworth League is a Negro, besides several field officers. The American Baptist Association the International Young Men's Christian Association employs three Negro general secretaries and we are told will soon put in the fourth one. The American Baptist Association employs three Negro district secretary for the South, and he directs their work among the Negroes. The American Missionary Association Congregational Society for years employs Negro field missionaries. The American Bible Society employs a Negro district secretary or field agent. The American Tract Society also. All of these agencies are now spending thousands of dollars to help the Negroes as a man and a brother, and it remains for an association representing all denominations and which spends only a few dollars among the Negroes to draw the color line and treat the Negro as a Jim Crow annex. They have three Negroes on the executive committee—Dr. Mason, Mason, Penn and Shepard—and one German vice-president—Dr. Clinton. We wonder will these men sit quietly by and see the race stabbed in the house of its supposed friends! We will wait and see —The Washington Ree. Whatever comes of Tuesday's fight, the colored people of the State must relentfully face the tasks of the day and time, and fight on toward success. The color of the life of one moment should for one moment be entertained. The people have done their part nobly and well in a terrible effort to rob them of all hope an citizena. Under conditions in the front ranks fully realizes, the colored people of Maryland have within the past few months shown themselves as men and women equal in resourceful and any other class of the State's citizenship. Defeat can never overcome such a people. Accordingly, whatever the outcome of the election, take it soberly and with interest and fight on. The Baltimore Times Death of William Butler. Wm H Butler who for many years has been widely and prominently identified with the Republican party of this State met with a most sad fate on Friday. October 22, by being hit and mortally injured by a trolley car on West 33d street. He was buried October 31 from the funeral parlor of W David Brown Born in Alexandria, Va., in November, 1886, he came to New York twenty years ago and had three children born to him. His widow Mrs. Alice Butler is the grand-daughter of Rev. William J. White, the editor of the Georgia Baptist. "One of the purposes of the International Council would be the formation of a permanent society, which should stand, in its relations to the civilized world, as a sort of guardian of the native peoples of Africa, a friendly power, an influence with the public and in the councils where so often, without their presence, or knowledge, the destiny of the African peoples and of their territories are discussed and decided. "It has so often seemed to me a sad and mistaken policy that in making their disposition of Africa, the Powers have not given more attention to the permanent interests of the native peoples. It has been unfortunate that at the councils, which settled the fate of vast territories, and of millions of peoples, neither these people themselves nor any one who could adequately represent them has been present. "In framing the policies which involve the permanent happiness and welfare of native peoples I believe that the missionary, whose relations with the natives is more intimate and more disinterested than most others, is often a wiser counsellor than the trader, or the soldier, and that, in the long run, the policy policy which seems to protect and educate the native, will pay better than that which, in seeking to enlistage and exploit, has so often destroyed him. "There is, perhaps, no place where we need wisdom more than on the frontier of civilization. It has always been so, but it is particularly true to-day. A wide view of the world's economy demands that we protect from destruction not only the forests and the beasts that live in them, but the indigenous races to whom they by all human right belong. In the final organization of the world's work. I believe all the peoples of the earth may hope to find their task and place. They should be preserved, if for no other reason, for the special service they are able to perform. Particularly is this true of West and Central Africa, where as yet the white man has never been a laborer or settler, but merely a sojourner, and where the future development of the country is wholly dependent upon the labor of black men. "A permanent International society, which should number among its members scientists, engineers, scientists, all will international commerce, which has been the only power in which the natives have found protection, it could power, and protect, the policies which aim at the permanent interests of Africa and its people. "For this reason, if no other, I am disposed to believe that no attempt to lift them to a higher plane of industrial efficiency, will have any permanent effect with the teaching of the Christian religion, or at least with a devotion and desire to help the people similar to us, in the work of the missionaries in Africa. "But without reference to any specific measures that could or should be taken for the betterment of the native peoples of Africa, it would not be able time for the friends of Africa to come together. An International Council, should it do no more than outline in opposition to the policy of forced labor, labor exploitation, and other plans for the encouragement and further extension of industrial education in Africa, would have done such to secure the future of what is, whatever its faults, one of the most useful races the world Capital on Eve of Content for Social Supremacy — James C. Napters Name Mentions—Winter Season Announcements. WASHINGTON, D.C., November 3 The events current during the last few days of the past month indicate that all Washington has been divided socially into three parts. Anyone who may care to analyze the correspondence and near-correspondence sent out to the press from the capital will soon reach the above conclusion. The division is not sharp and well defined as yet but the factional head's striving for social and political leadership tower above the populace so that those who desire may see the methods employed in the machine work of each faction. The past few weeks have been those of preparation by various constituencies for what promises to be an interesting and stirring winter. Evidence has been taken by each side of the faults, weaknesses, errors and omissions of its opponents. Persons who are known to visit the residences of factionists have been questioned good-naturedly and have unwittingly answered at times in such a way as to endanger the fruition of the plans of their friends. The movements of several high officials, their relatives and friends, have been carefully watched from places not easily discernible, and the intelligence gained thereby has been sold or traded by the hirelings of the various factions. The city has brought back to life this winter its full quota of so-called gossipers who are in reality spies and regularly secure a bonus for their findings. The evidence of the strongest radical faction at the capital is being gathered and the machine oiled so that all of the evidence shall reach Mr Taft in proper style when he returns to the District shortly. The agents of this faction are endeavoring to arrange the matter so diplomatically that the evidence shall be produced by Presidential request. Every colored gentleman who ventures to visit the White House by the front door will be carefully scrutinized his movements watched, his intentions discovered and the information sold to those who find ready use for it. The growth of this system of espionage among colored citizens is a bane to the capital, but to today it is on the increase rather than otherwise. One white official, its victim, has coughed up a good sum and put a quietus upon the sounding of his name in high places. Another has served several of the spies with a big feed. The Act represents the independent and conservative element at the capital, and is beginning to wonder, along with this element, as to how certain of these spies actually gain a livelihood. The independents are anxious that some men holding official position may be placed among them the administration who will take the reconstruction and restored. Washington on a basis, more consistent with human existence, honors James Napier may find his name on the treasure of many a capital city politician. Were he to arrive in Washington to-morrow clothed with the mantel of the best office a President ever bestowed upon a Negro, there should be a big time, many hurrahs and the sort of old-time political celebration for which the colored citizens at the capital are aching.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D.C. November 3— The stirring tributes paid the late fighting Colonel Perry H. Carson by all of the National capital's metropolitan news papers is of deep significance in these latter times. Colonel Carson succumbed to an attack of pneumonia Sunday last week, and he was a man of commanding personality and giant in size standing erect up to the time of his death at the age of seventy-nine Perry Carson was best known as the head of the famous Blaine Invincibles, which he organized, the same association conferring upon him the honorary Southern title of colonel. He went as a delegate to the national convention when Blaine received the Republican Presidential nomination in Chicago back in the days before the present condition of helotry existed in the district. Two times later he served as a Presidential convention delegate but in recent years he has taken but small interest in politics. Formerly those who aspired to the district office always consulted the colonel as he controlled the Negro vote of the district for years. Carson aided the old time political process in the various wards of the capital and in the black city street night. At one time he also paraded the streets of Washington and whipped every white man who dared accept a colored woman on the streets after dark thus making it possible for soloed women to go where they desired in the evening without the danger of molestation. He was born in Princess Ann County, Md in 1830, went to Biltmore while quite young, and operated together with the abolitionists the so-called "underground railway" up to the time of the close of the Civil War. He was in the war for a short time as a volunteer, was a member of the Army and Navy Union, John K. Cook Lodges of Masonry and of the Mecca Temple of the Order of Shriners. The remains of Col. Carson lay in state morn Tuesday until midnight Wednesday morning A M. E. Church, the funeral services being held later at the Metropolitan A M. E. Church, he interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery. The obsequies were participated in by the Masons the Shriners the Blaine Invincibles and various other Negro clubs. Col. Carson is survived by a wife of a few months and a son. TRIP OF SOUTHERN EDUCATORS Entertained by Southern Education inited During Tour Through Northwest SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK AU ATLANTA, Ga, November 2—During the past ten days well known Southern educators have been touring the Northwest as guests of the Southern Education Board. They have been studying the school system of that part of the country. The Southern Education Board meets annually in the interest of education in the South and receives financial aid from friends of education both North and South. The last meeting of the board was at the home of Mr George Foster Peabody, at Lake George, and was presided over by the president, Robert C Ogden, of New York. Those present were Dr Vernin of the University of Virginia, Dr Kurtzland of the Vanderbilt University, Dr Worlff Rose of the Bedford board, Dr Walter Page of the "World's Work," Edgar Gardner Murphy of Alabama, the well known publisher and others of distinguished achievement The meetings of the board are executive, but the fruits of the meeting and the generous spirit of the board are already manifest in the present tour through the Northwest of the superintendent of State education of the Southern States. These gentlemen are the guests of the Southern Education Board and have as their guiding spirit Dr Worcester Rose, of Nashville, Tenn., the secretary of the Conference for Education in the South, of the Southern Education Board and trustee of the Peabody education fund, will be recalled that at the conference for education in the South held in Atlanta, Georgia, a program hinged on rural education and rural organization with agricultural training as a paramount thought. The most inspirational message brought was that from the Northwest when Dr John M. Coulter came from the University of Minnesota and Dr Von Hize from the University of Wisconsin their addresses freighted with knowledge and purpose. The State superintendents assembled here then heard what was being done through education in the Northwest and now they are seeing how it is done. With the party is Hon W. Joyner at North Carolina who has been one of the leading spots in the Conference for Education in the South since the organization of that body, and the meeting of the National Intellectual Association he was elected president. This coming together of the men leading in the various educational movements means a national uplifting un-told in power and significance.

All of the candidates upon the ticket ran together, with the exception of Benjamin O. James, candidate for Secretary of the Commonwealth, nominated to succeed D. Q. Eggleston, who died since his nomination and after his name had been printed upon the ballot. It was necessary to write in the name of Col James upon the ballot, as was the case also in several of the minor offices William H. Mann was elected Governor. Richmond City cast a vote of approximately 5,000, carrying a safe Democratic majority. There was considerable anpathy everywhere.

Lord Delamere and his brother-in-law, R B Cole, often go after those two rare animals and have been quite successful From that point the train passes through wonderful forest scenery, past Elburgon station and thence to Molo at an altitude of 7,940 feet, and from there ascends to the Mau Summit, the highest point on the line, 8,300 feet above sea level The next stop is Londiani station, the starting point of all caravans for Fldama Ravine and the Guaso Ngusho country. It is bitterly cold there and always damp Sheer above rises the wondrous Mau forest, and all around are high hills and woods Through Lumba to Fort Ternan the train crosses deep ravines spanned by huge steel American bridges. There are twenty-seven in seventy three miles and the combined length is 11,845 feet. The longest is 881 feet and stands 111 foot above ground. The seemay is magnificent and a splendid view is obtained from the train, which winds around almost on the edge of the precipices. Between Lumba and Fort Ternan the train passes through the only tunnel on the hill. Muhorom a little further along is a fever center. The road crosses the Nxando Valley at the foot of the huge and rugged Nand Fesepartment through the Kavando country to Kihugori. In that region huge herds of fat cattle are attended by naked youths The Kavirondo men wear no clothes and their women only a small garment race in Africa. They are tall, somely and darn themselves with brass and copper wire, cowrie shells, grass bangles and anklets, and hippo teeth. Very often they may be seen standing like a stork, resting with one foot on the other knee and leaning on a stick. At the end of the route is Lake Victoria Nvanza. The steamer Clement Hils is to leave Kisumu midday with Colonel Rosevelt and part round up Junja and Entebbe. For forty miles the waters are muddy, then beautifully clear. In the distance are lovely hills and islands as far as the eye can see. One of the principal sights is the celebrated Ripon Fall. There is the source of the great Nile. Entebbe will be the base for Colonel Roosevelt's trip down the Nile after his much desired white rhino and Nile buffalo. NOVEMBER 4, 1907. HOTEL PLEASANTS 261 BAST 142nd STREET Near Morris Avenue.

He said "The time has come ten we'suild have a larger building the world we are trying to do for the usands a young colored men in this. It is all right for a hundred or so to meet here, but we should have a large enough to accommodate at least hundred; and you should make the felt.

SOUTH IS INSULTED Allege Angry Southerners Over Oil Kings' Reflection on Southern Landlords The recent gift of one million dollars by John D Rockefeller for the study of the widely discussed hookworm disease has provoked considerably the wrath of white Southerners living in New York. Many have already joined Bishop Candler of Wanta, Ga., a member of the recent Georgia Railroad Arbitration Commission, in declaring it an open insult to the South. It has humiliated the pride, as part ofans of the oil king allege, of the South in calling national attention to the shiftlessness and poverty of millions of white Southerners. This most recent benefaction of the billionaire scams destined to reach the motory of the money contributed to the Methodist Association and which was characterized throughout the land by Dr Washington Gladden as tainted money The following letters written to the New York World illustrates the feeling the gift has aroused. Under the caption Mr. Rockefeller's Insult to the South" to the Editor of the World I heartily agree with Bishop Candler of Atlanta, Ga., in the stand he has taken in regard to the donation by Mr. Rockefeller of $1,000,000 to tight the hookworm disease in the South The South, as Bishop Candler rightly says, is perfectly able to take care of the hookworm disease without donations from Mr. Rockefeller or any one else I believe the people of the South agree with Bishop Candler, and it is not "sectional pride assuming an unwonted phrase," or, in other words, sectional prejudice, as The World's editorial this morning states. If the hookworm is so serious, who is better fitted to fight it than those who come in contact with its victims every day? The hookworm is not so prevalent as the press would have people believe. In fact, I have heard more about the "hookworm in the South" since coming North six years ago than I did during a good many years' residence in the South. The hookworm is bad certainly, as is any other disease, where it exists, but it is not so widespread as a few people who do not know the conditions say. As to Bishop Candler's statement concerning the donating of money to educational causes, I think he was wrong. The people of the South as well as any other section, are willing to accept offers to extend to as many as possible the advantages of an education, and Mr Rockefeller would be doing a greater good if he would donate that one million to education rather than to the extermination of the hookworm disease. OLIVER H H GEDLIST New York, Nov. 2 The following from the opposite point of view to the same paper illustrate the anger of those who resent the alleged superior sensitiveness of the white South. No Privates in Confederate Army To the Editor of The World I notice the kick in the South against Rockefeller's monument gift toward curing the bookworm disease I have had considerable experience with the Southern people and I did not like it. They are peculiar. I suppose caused by slavery. Their chief defect is egotism. I have asked them if they had any privates in the Southern army, but I have failed to hear of any. They were all officers, so privates. You cannot find any of the old soldiers than a colonel or a minor. If Rockefeller could give five or ten million to remove them he would be doing much to ex- How Country Teachers Can Make Money If there are school teachers especially those with a foreign wish to make some extra cash, they are advised to correspond at once with Mr. R Stewart Tunkeger Institute, Ala. oct 29 11 Does your wife, sister or daughter want employment of a dignified and congenial character?
