PAIR UNITED BY CHILD'S ILLNESS Margaret Clemens Allowed to Return to Home of Colored Foster-mother Mrs. Jane Collins, Colored, Decides to Turn Over Child to Responsible White People ACTIVITY OF GERRY SOCIETY Dr. P. A. Johnson Tells of Cases in Which Colored Women Have Taken Care of White Waifs for Years. An affecting scene was enacted in Justice Watt's court last Saturday when Mrs. Jane Collins, a highly respected colored woman residing at 226 West 30th street, gave up her ward, Margaret Clemens, a little white girl, eight years old, declaring that she was willing that the child be adopted by responsible white people. The child was as loathe to leave her foster mother as Mrs. Collins was to have her turned over to others, and both wept in the courtroom as if their hearts would break. Justice Wyatt ordered the little girl sent to Wyckoff Hall, Inwood-on-the-Hudson, and she was turned over to a representative of the Gerry Society, while Mrs. Collins wended her way to her 30th street home, low in spirits and her eyes filled with tears. Saturday night the little girl became all over the separation and Sunday Mrs. Collins was sent for. The golden-haired child and the gray-haired woman were overjoyed upon seeing each other, and permission was given Mrs. Collins to take Margaret home until her health showed marked improvement. Child Said She Missed "Mother." Sunday evening a representative of The Age called at the Collins home and found Mrs. Collins and the white child sitting together, the latter eating an orange and telling her foster mother of the evening she had passed under the care of the Gerry Society. "I didn't like that place a bit, mother, and I cried and thought of you all night," said little Margaret, unconscious of the fact that she was home only for a short time and would be soon sent to live among strangers. The strong attachment existing between woman and child can be readily understood when it is made known that Mrs. Collins has mothered the girl for over seven years. Margaret, who was the daughter of a white chorus girl, was adopted by Mrs. Collins when but six months old. Since that time the aged colored woman has looked after her white ward as though she was her own child. Mrs. Collins is a widow, and earns her own livelihood, yet she has raised two children of her own and was bringing up a third successfully when the Gerry Society interfered Since it has been made publicly known that Mrs Collins has for years befriended little Margaret, she has received letters from a number of influential white citizens offering to aid her if she decided to make a determined fight to keep the child. Since the girl has been committed to Wyckoff Hall a well known society woman who lives at the Hotel Plaza, he visited the foster mother, volunteering to help her in any way desired. Mrs Collins, however, has concluded to let the child go to Wyckoff Hall for the present. Berry Society Often Makes Untrue Charges The Gerry Society, which receives support from wealthy New Yorkers, is responsible for the separation of colored woman and white girl. Owing to the activity shown in recent years in endeavors to take away all white children from colored persons who are taking care of them the word has gone out that the Gerry Society although founded on the principles of charity, is strongly opposed to colored wards for white children, although numerous instances can be cited where white women are at the head of homes conducted in the interest of colored wards. Although there is no law against the adoption of a white child by a colored family, the Gerry Society is wont to usually make some charge against the character of indicted ward, little caring for the good reputation that might be imposed by allegations untrue and unfair. In the case of Mrs Collins, she was charged with cruelty, although no evidence was given to prove the claim setting the society. In other instances the character of respectable colored women is backkened, the society aver that white wards are disreputable. In the case of Mrs Collins the court decided that testimony had been added to that the child had been mistreated. However, the defendant, knowing the aggressive tactics of the Gerry Society, and being a poor woman and being concluded that the best plea was to give up Margaret with interest. Lecture: strengey of some of the white people connected with charitable institutes in the effort to make a short time the true woman in charge of the New York Colored Mission, located West 30th street, to induce Mrs. McKinley to allow Margaret to come to the mission and live, the woman expores- The New York Age 1. ing the opinion that she was inclined to believe that the child could get better treatment at the mission than at a private home. The offers rejected by Mrs Collins and soon afterwards the Gerry Society started a rusade against the mothering of the wite child by the colored woman. Mrs Collins has ever kept the child ignorant of her rach identity, and when she put her in school two seasons ago the principal was told everything. Dr. Johnson Tell of Many Acts of Chitty. Dr P A. Johnsh, who is considered the oldest and be known doctor of New York City, is formerly president of the National Medical Association, gave the child malical aid for nearly six consecutive yeas, and is well aware of the attention and motherly care that the little girl received at the hands of Mrs. Collins. r. Johnson says he knows of a large number of cases in which colored womn have brought up white waifs, and th, instead of receiving praise for the facts of charity, are often dragged into hurt and accused of cruelty or of being immoral character, the charges being pierced against them in order to separatethem from the white children they haveown years of attention. Dr Johnsh thinks it is strange that no interest ever taken in white outcasts by chantral institutions during their infancy, whentos of time and care is necessary. Several cases are treated by Dr Johnson wherein colored men have raised white children, only have them eventually taken away. It so long ago Mrs. Harriet Gibson, who was in the employ of the late Mrs. Wam T Bull, died of grief because she w compelled to give up a white child hom she had befriended for six heres Mrs. Gibson died six months after a child was taken from her. In another instan a colored woman by the name of Mr Yates turned over a white child to imbbers of its race after the court had clared that she was the proper person flook after it. She was afraid, howeveng persecution, and reached similar consiouss of Mrs. Collins. Dr Johnson alsowns of a young white girl who is in teaching in the public schools, whwas raised by a colored woman unthe reached a certain age, when she as turned over to white people MET AT MERIDIAN, MISS.

TELLS WHY THE NEGRO WAITER IS LOSING OUT Joshua Bell Blames Colored Headwaiters for State of Affairs TAKE SUBORDINATES' MONEY Then the Men Refuse To Do As Told, Manager Becomes Dissatisfied and a White Headwaiter Is Hired. Special to Sun New York Age. Atlanta, Ga., March 6—Joshua Bell, a well known waiter employed at the Piedmont Hotel, this city, makes the charge that colored head waiters are being displaced in various hotels throughout the country because of the methods employed by them in exacting money of their subordinates. Mr. Bell gave a statement to a representative of THE Age, declaring that he had been prompted to speak after reading editorial advice given in THE Age some weeks ago to Pennsylvania waiters. In discussing the subject with your correspondent here, Mr. Bell said: "First, I want to praise that great journal of yours, because I can say, without fear, that it is doing more for our race than any paper we have. In fact and in short, it is the guardian of our race." 'Now I want to give you a little inside view of something that I think you don't know anything about. Do you know why the Negro waiter is losing out and especially in the North?' I have been told by respectable men in Omaha and Chicago and other western and northern cities that when a head waiter hires a side waiter he will say to the side waiter that you know what it costs you. It is gently understood only $3.00 and from fifty to seventy-five cents a day. I am told that every waiter under his employment has to do the same thing or he can't work.

"In some establishments the state of affairs become so deplorable that the head waiter is unable to order any of his men to do their work, especially side work, because all of them pay him and he can't ask them to do something they don't care to do. Consequently everything is left undone. "The manager gets tired of telling the head waiter about his work, and proceeds to discharge the head waiter and hires a white head waiter. That is why white head waiters are found in charge of dining rooms and club rooms where colored side waiters are employed. "All over the country there is a tendency to employ all colored waiters under white head waiters. Now this is the whole thing in a nutshell. In order to have you know that this is true, I will cite you a few hotels where such a system is being resorted to it present: The Savoy Hotel, Kansas City, Mo., and the Hotel Rome, Omaha, Neh. "I hope either one of the men in charge will answer this indictment or any other Negro head waiter in the North, and I will await my answer through the columns of THE AGE. There are many other causes, of course, for the displacement of Negro head waiters, but this is the main reason." ADVOCATES NEGRO EDUCATION Superintendent Charles L. Coon Answers White Taxpayer Who Complained to Governor of South Carolina on Radical Stand on Question. Special to THE NEW YORK ART. Charlotte, N. C., March 7.—Charles L. Coon, superintendent of the Wilson Public Schools, and a strong advocate of Negro education, has written a letter to the Charlotte Observer, the leading Democratic paper of the state, in which he answers a recent article appearing in that paper wherein a white taxpayer of Taylorsville, N. C., complimented the Governor of South Carolina on his stand against Negro education, made in his inaugural address. As usual, Superintendent Coon points out the good results of Negro education. The letter: "In the Observer of February 24, 'A White Taxpayer' of Taylorsville writes against Negro education, saying that education makes Negro worthless and that white taxes ought to go to white schools and Negro taxes to Negro schools. "This citizen of Alexander County is respectfully referred to the last report of the State Superintendent, which shows the following facts for his county, relative to Negro education: "Number of Negro children of school age, 287, enrolled in Negro schools, 224, number of Negro teachers, 8, number of school houses (two log), 5 total value Negro property, $400, average length of school term (days), 65, total amount paid each teacher for year $1544, total annual amount paid for teaching Negroes, $41232 "Our educational statistics also say that there is only one first grade teacher among the eight Negro teachers of Alexander, while six are second grade and one third grade "I submit the above facts to show that it is the lack of Negro education that this taxpayer is really complaining about. Surely a county that is making such a showing can not seriously claim that it is trying, or has tried, the experiment of Negro education. And, furthermore, if my county made such a poor showing on Negro education as Alexander, I believe I would think twice before I would rush into print to try to unsettle something which Jesus Christ settled 2,000 years ago, and which the Supreme Court of North Carolina officially settled in 1886, the honorable Cole L. Blease of South Carolina to the contrary notwithstanding. There are some facts too, which this 'A White Taxpayer' ought to know. He has evidently been asleep or not observant. We have more Negro children here in Wilson that white children. Out of a Negro census of 1,213 children of school age we have enrolled this year 638 pupils in our colored school. I do not believe this Alexander taxpayer will find a single intelligent white man in this city who will not tell him that these school children are well behaved and that the training they are getting in the school is beneficial. Furthermore, we have kept a record of the graduates of our colored school for the past five years, and we can testify that all of these graduates are now engaged in useful work, while none of them has gone wrong in any way. "The janitors of the white school of this city must be able to read and to write, else they could not keep their places. No superintendent of schools can afford to entrust the care of costly furniture, the care of the heating plant, the running of errands, the carving of valuable papers, and the like to illiterate persons. "The great problem we have here in Wilson is to reach that part of the colored children whose parents are wholly indifferent to the moral and educational welfare of their children. It is from such children that our criminals are made, not from those who attend our schools in any degree of regularity. Everyone here knows that I am only stating the truth when I say this. We have hundreds of Negro parents in this city who are pathetically anxious that their children shall be honest, upright, lawabiding, and industrious. These parents are not ex slaves, either, but they are Negroes born since the days of slavery. "The man who delivers all the express packages in Wilson and collects and accounts for all not prepaid is a Negro continued on Page B) The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Register of the Treasury WHITE EDUCATORS FROM THE EAST LAUD TUSKEGEE Visitors Marvel at What They See at Widely-known Institution SCHOOL IS AN INSPIRATION Visit Will Result in the Introduction of Industrial Education on a Broader Scale in the North. What Tuskegee is doing for you we are going to take on home to the North. You are doing what we are talking about. We wonder if we could teach farming up there. You are doing it here. So all power to you! Hopes of Yale Professor Realized. Prof Ernest Carroll Moore, of Yale University, after expressing his wonder and admiration at what he had seen, said "I have been hoping for a time when the masses of the people in the United States might have a demonstration of the reality of the work of the colored people of the South, and I have been making this a pious pilgrimage and saying 'This is the thing I have wanted for years to see. This is the thing I have wanted these other folks to see. This is the thing that the whole world has wanted to see for all these years.' And like the vision to the Queen of Sheba, it is much greater than we had hoped for, very much larger than we had expected to find" Vernon L. Davey, Superintendent of Schools, East Orange, N.J., in voicing the sentiments of the large number of New Jersey educators who were present said "We came here to see a great institution. We have seen things with which we have been immensely delighted, but I know I speak the sentiment of every one when I say that the greatest part, the thing that has been of most value and of most interest to us, is this audience of students which is right here before us now. We have to face a good many students in our schools in the north. We do not face students, as a rule, who are so earnest, so enthusiastic, so full of vim, of energy and of determination as those we have seen today. I want to say that a lot of us are going away from here to-day having Special to THE NEW YORK AGR learned a great deal, and some things will be done up north next week, next month, and next year which had their beginnings right here from this visit today." Arthur D. Call, Superintendent of Schools, Hartford, Conn, said: "This has been a great inspiration to me. Some years ago I committed to memory a selection from Emerson, and to-day I have seen it fulfilled and the significance of it made prominent in a way that I have never seen before. The words run something like this: If he write a better book, or preach a better sermon, or make a better match-box than his neighbor, though he build his home in a wilderness, the world shall make a beaten path to his door. "Back through the years of my experience I have been trying to build a sort of ladder I have never had a course in the Tuskegee carpenter shop and I do not know but what this ladder of mine is a but ruckety, and as I hear various discussions pro and con on modern education, it seems that my ladder was about to fall to the ground. But after what I have seen to day, it seems that my ladder is more firmly set on the ground than ever before." Mr. Prosser spoke in part as follows: "I believe that we all think that industrial education is coming to stay in this country. The kind of education that trains all kinds of men all kinds of ways for all kinds of things is the kind of education needed, and when some time in the distant future the history of the movement for industrial education is written, high upon its roll of honor will stand the names of Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee, and the trustees and benefactors who from time to time have served this institution so loyally and so well. "None of us came here to-day just for the ride. We came because we wanted to render our tribute to an institution which is doing as much to solve the problem of American citizenship as any within its borders, we came here because we wanted to be confirmed in our faith of what we believe to be true standards in vocational education, true methods of preparing boys and girls whether they be colored or white, for the trades and industries and occupations which they are to follow in life." Arthur K. Whitcomb, Superintendent of Schools, Lowell, Mass., in expressing to the students his interest in the work of the institution said: "I came here indeed to see the school in a small measure, but I came here mainly to see you, for it is not the school, but you, who are to make the men and women of the net generation. As I stood on the corner, I noted the alert bearing and the erect forms of the young men and women as they marched by on their way to dinner for I was interested in you a thousand times more than I was in the school, for it is on you that results must fundamentally depend. "I wish I could make you understand for a moment the real earnest sympathy I have with you and the interest I have in you. The whole country has its eves fixed upon you, waiting to see what you will do for this school and for your race. Therefore, give to the world the very best service, in the belief that you have the sympathy of the whole country. God be with you!" THEY'RE ALL ON TO HIM. Special to TU New York Age Washington, D.C. March 8 - The practice has been going on so long here in Washington that even the messengers in the offices understand what is being done, that is, Henry Lincoln Johnson writes an editorial or news item for the Atlanta Independent, and as soon as it appears it is shown to Postmaster General Hitchcock. The impression is sought to be made on Mr. Hitchcock that these editorials and writings represent the sentiment of the entire race instead of representing merely the sentiment of one office holder in Washington. Johnson's journalistic stunts are now regarded as a big joke. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 51CENTS NEGRO VOTERS MORE HOPEFUL Feel that President Taft Will Keep Pledges Made Months Ago Naming of W. H. Lewis and J. C. Napier to Responsible Positions Inspires Confidence. "LINK" JOHNSON WAKES UP Finds That He Was. Only Dreaming About Becoming Leader—Hillies Appointment a Popular One. Special Correspondence of The Aur. Washington, D. C, March 7—There has been a decided "clearing up" of the political atmosphere at the capital city within the past week so far as the colored brother is concerned, and the Negro voters throughout the country are to-day more kindly disposed toward President Taft, and entertain a more hopeful view that he will keep his pledges made months ago relative to the treatment the Negro was to receive at the hands of the present administration Before adjournment of Congress last Saturday two nominations were sent in by the President for confirmation which have tended to make Mr. Taft more popular with the colored voters of the country. The first appointment was that of William H. Lewis of Boston, to be Assistant Attorney General of the United States to succeed John G. Thompson, resigned. The naming of J. C. Napier of Nashville to succeed W. T. Vernon as Register of the Treasury was the second appointment made during the week which already seems to have been a very popular move on the part of the Chief Executive. Both appointees are men of high sterling character and, furthermore, are possessed of capable, business-like qualities that will enable them to efficiently fill their respective positions with credit. Hilles Believes in Fair Play. The appointment of Charles D Hilles of Dobbs Ferry, N Y, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to succeed Charles D Norton as Secretary to the President, is also regarded as a good omen for the Negro voters of the country. While Mr Norton, during his term in office unceasingly interested himself in seeing that the Negro was given favorable consideration and showed Negro callers every courtesy, it is well known here that Mr Hilles has been more active in his endeavors to secure rightful political recognition for the Negro than any other person in official life. It is thought that with Mr. Hilles as President Taft's secretary, the race will have a strong friend who will be instrumental in counteracting all anti-Negro influences that have been at work during the Taft regime preaching the doctrine of "Lily Whiteism." The appointment of Napier as Register of the Treasury proved a knockout blow to the aspirations of Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, as leader. Since Johnson secured his appointment some months ago through the aid of Republicans who have been in favor of the elimination of the Negro from politics in the South he has been blissfully dreaming of some day becoming the acknowledged political head of the Negro Republicans of this country. Why he has entertained such an unreasonable ambition no one has been able to learn Johnson's Dreams Did Not Come True. His activity in trying to retain Vernon in office, in which he indulged in gutter politics, even trying to arouse a foolish controversy over the color question, amounted to naught, and instead of being a leader to-day he is grateful that he holds a position in the Government which has allowed him time to act as press agent for those whom he favored, but who, because of Johnson's smile of approval, failed to land the desired plums. In the appointment of Lewis as Assistant Attorney General the Negro Democrats are now looking for new ammunition. When it was announced that President Taft contemplated naming Lewis to such a high office the Democrats circulated the report that the President had stated only a few days before election that he was going to appoint the Bostonian, and that the declaration was made for political capital and nothing more. They are now busy trying to show why they were mistaken and the President sincere in his utterances. Although the Taft administration is half over it is said at Washington that during the next two years the President will prove beyond a doubt that he is the Negro's friend.

The train is made up of modern compartment, drawing and sleeping cars, observation and buffet club car, dining car sorving ait meals, It handles fret class pas- sengera only, but no excess fare. The ticket agents In every State where the train stops are courteous, I did not recelve even an unkind glance; in fact, at the ticket offices of Mobile, Char- lotte, Salisbury ad Greensboro, N.

No traveler should expect or soliclt undue notice to him or herself, for we do not know whore acquaintance it ts that we are making. Furthermore, some travelers are very retiring and diMdent, and this ts not common to any one race Hence. every truthful traveler can testify that the average trraveler avoids giving of- fense to any one This 1s especially true of the colored traveler.

Cincinnati, O., March 8.—Not all of the colored people of the city are in favor of separate public schools for colored children, and one of the more prominent opponents of the plan is Prof. W P. Dabney, paymaster in the city treasurer's office and office of the Union. To the Times Star Prof. Baldwin said, "I can see no more reason for the separation of colored children than I can for having separate schools for Hungarians, separate schools for Italians or any other race or color of people. We are all citizens, all taxpayers, directly or indirectly, instead of establishing schools that will allow us to teach our students let us rather bring the races together if a colored child, any particular colored child, is unfit to attend a school, let that particular child be excluded, just as you would exclude any particular white child. I am most decidedly against the separate school plan. It looks to me that it is a clever school that would not be a job for themselves and is not for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the race." Mississippi Oratorical Contest.

For the genuine manhood back of William Sulzer's character we have always had a liking. He is all wool and more than a yard wide. He is a Democrat, and a good one. But the Congressman, who is a real friend of colored Americans, goes off sometimes before the cap "busts." In a recent letter to that eminent Democrat, Alexander Walters, D. D., A. M., G. B. D, Mr. Sulzer regrets his inability to join the reverend Democrat at a meeting of the clan at Washington. He hopes the bishop all kinds of success in his undertaking to convince "the men of your race that they have just as many friends among the Democrats as they have among the Republicans." Then the Plain People's champion delivers himself of a sweet burden, the descent of which reverberates over hills and dells: Equal rights to all and special privileges to none is the fundamental principle of Democracy, and the application of this principle to questions as they arise will solve them all in the interest of the plain people of our country. It seems to me that the constant effort to the men of your race, in season and of season, to keep this great principle to the front, so that all the people, without regard to race or religion, or previous condition, shall be equal before the law and the door of opportunity under the star of hope in the ever growing nation. The sentiment in favor of this idea is growing space throughout the country, and means much for the future welfare of America. Democracy is not on the wane. It is stronger to-day than it ever was, and Democracy has no prejudice against it, written in all sorts and conditions of people to rise step by step to higher levels in the onward march of civilization Now all that is lovely. And every word of it comes from William Sulzer's heart. He hates caste and prejudice. Of German parentage he represents a Jew district in Congress. But Mr Sulzer is not the Democratic party. Instead of making the Negro believe that he has as many friends in the Democratic party as he has in the Republican party, it will take all of Mr Sulzer's and Bishop Walters' time convincing the Negro that he has as many as one friend in the Democratic party as a party. The Democratic party is controlled by "the solid South," and the South is solid because of the suppression of the Negro vote. The backbone of the Democratic party would be broken to-morrow if the infamous disfranchising laws of the South were wiped off the books. The Negro may have as many friends in the Democratic party as he may claim in the Republican party, but the record is this, every step taken to advance the Negro was taken by Republicans, every move to degrade and demoralize him was made by Democrats. Tillman is a Democrat. Vardaman is a Democrat. Jeff Davis is a Democrat F. M. Simmons, the red-shirt man, is a Democrat. Helfin is a Democrat Carmack was a Democrat. Cole Blease is a Democrat. Bailey is a Democrat Hoke Smith is a Democrat. Hardwick is a Democrat. Gus Bacon is a Democrat. These men, their allies and armies compose and control the Democratic party. They have risen to power by cursing and suppressing the poor Negro, who fought to save the Union when they or their fathers were fighting to destroy the Union. Who are the Republicans? Taft is a Republican. Foraker, the flower of the Jackson Oak, is a Republican Roosevelt is a Republican Scott is a Republican Sereno Payne is a Republican Crumpacker is a Republican They tell us that Abraham Lincoln and U S Grant were Republicans, and that Zachariah Chandler, Roscoe Conkling and Oliver P Morton had membership in the party. Heyburn is a Republican Democratic West Virginia to-day seeks to disfranchise and jim-crow the Negro. Republican West Virginia, from 1897 to 1909, sought to protect and advance him. "Yes, I stuffed the ballot box," cries Palmetto Ben, "and I'll kill a nigger." That is the platform of Bishop Walters' party and Mr. Sulzer's party. "Democracy has no prejudice against any race," writes Mr. Suller. And so it hasn't. But the thieves of the ballot and shot-gun statesmen who control Democratic conventions and caucuses have turned Democracy into an agency of infamy and prejudice and political slavery. If Bishop Walters can call the sinners to repentance, Amen. If Mr. All of our spiders may not be cognizant of the fact that William English Walling is the chairman of the executive committee of the "new movement" which has its headquarters in New York. Mr. Walling has been very active recently in traveling through the country advising the colored people how to elevate themselves, and advising them what colored leaders to follow and what colored people to discard. Mr. Walling has been figuring recently in a suit in the New York courts in which he is sued by a Russian woman for breach of promise. Mr. Walling makes the following admissions on the stand in reference to the woman who is suing him: First, Mr. Walling admits that he picked this woman up on the boulevards of Paris without even knowing who she was, what her name was, or where she came from. Within a few minutes after he became acquainted with her, he went cab riding with her, then he took her to a hotel. Mr. Walling admits that within a few hours after he had met this woman she had her head on his shoulders. Within a few days Mr. Walling and the woman whom he had picked up on the streets of Paris began traveling as man and wife in Russia. Mr. Walling admits that he traveled with this woman under the pretense that she was his wife for many months, that he lived with her in Berlin and Switzerland, as well as in Russia. He also admits having given her money. Walling is the kind of man that some people are trying to foist upon the colored people, to set him up as an example for leadership in morals. Mr. Walling has recently spoken at meetings of colored people at Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere. He has met some of our best men and some of our best women, some of the purest and highest, and he has been introduced to our families, invited into our homes. Further than this, a moral reprobate of this character is called upon to preside as chairman of the executive committee, over a meeting where there are present such colored women as Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and others. What is the meaning of it all? Are the colored people supposed to have no high ideals and principles? Can any reprobate, simply because he has a white face, get their confidence and be a leader for them? Few, if any, of our people have stopped to ask the question as to where Mr. Walling came from or where he is going. Few have demanded a certificate of character from him. The time has come when we must let the world understand that a man who seeks to lead and guide us, who seeks to become our example, must present a certificate of clean character. He must present a certificate other than that of a white face. What we say of men, we say with equal earnestness regarding women. Mr. Walling certainly will have no social standing after this admission among white people; he certainly should have no standing among colored people. Mr. Walling is the kind of man a certain little clique would ask the masses of the people to follow; would ask the people to throw aside strong, level-headed men and take up such renegades in their places. We hope that no colored man or woman will in the future disgrace our race by inviting Mr. Walling in their home or ask him to speak at any public meeting. The revelations that have come out regarding Walling should teach us that in the future we must demand a certificate of character from every one who seeks to lead our race, whether that person is black or white. Of course nothing in this editorial is meant to cast any reflection upon such true and grieved friends of the colored race as Robert C. Ogden, George Foster Peabody, Dr. H. B. Frissel, Mrs. Hegry Villard, Oswald Garrison Villard, Jacob W. Mack, William J. Schieffel and a host of others whose names we might call Sulzer can assist him, Amen again. But neither of them can impose false representation upon intelligent Negroes. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? In a symposium in the latest Independent, Senator Bacon, of Georgia, writes an "appreciation," as they call it, of Mr. Justice Lamar, newly appointed member of the Supreme Court. Among the interesting phrases there is this old but lustrous gem: He is an ideal Southern gentleman, delightfully unassuming and courteously cordial "Ideal Southern gentleman" We have often heard of him, and longed to meet him. What is the difference between a "Southern gentleman" and a gentleman? Is it that one stuffs the ballot box and gets his reward in honors, while the other looks on without protest? There is something in it. Will not the blinking World name the point? WHAT GOOD? Recently a meeting was held in Philadelphia in a white church to advance the cause of the Negro race. There were five or six speakers, one speaker told the audience that race prejudice exists; another told the audience that in some parts of the country colored people have no right in separate coaches, another stated that in some parts of the country colored people do not have a fair show at the ballot boxes, and still another told the audience that in some parts of the country the colored people have separate schools. Not a single speaker, so far as we can discover by the reports of the meeting, brought out a fact that the audience was not perfectly familiar with. In fact, every colored man in the audience knew more about the effect of race prejudice than any of the speakers We wish that instead of having a meeting to remind the colored people of that which they already knew about, the meeting might have had for its object a plan to organize a real estate company, or a land-holding company, or a house building enterprise, or a great commercial or a banking enterprise or a technical school, college or university. Several of the white men who spoke are business men, but we suspect if in examination were made that few of these white men who reminded the Negro about his troubles have any Negroes employed in their counting houses or in any other capacity except as janitors or elevator men Furthermore, colored people must not be deceived. No greater wrong can be perpetrated upon the race just now than to make the average colored man feel that every disability he suffers is caused by somebody else, that he has no responsibility, that everything which holds him back is to be laid upon the white man. There was a good deal of discussion at the meeting concerning disfranchisement in the South. Now the Negro is wrongly and infamously disfranchised in many parts of the South, but it would have been a real kindness if some of the people had said to the colored people in Philadelphia frankly that too many of them sell their ballots. No real friends to the race will try to make our people feel all the time that they are angels and that all the white people are devils; not that all the white people are accommodated with wings. Speaking of drawing the "color line," we note that this meeting was held right in the State where is situated one of the largest and oldest universities for the education of the Negro race. There is a good deal of talk by the professors and graduates of Lincoln University regarding the "color line," but there is no institution where the "color line" is so strongly drawn in regard to its professors as is true of Lincoln. No matter how well educated a colored man may be, he cannot become a professor at Lincoln University. Why blame white people of the South and elsewhere for drawing the "color line" when it is drawn right in our midst by those who told a good deal about the "color line." Let us get down to common sense Negro leadership. Negro leaders for Negro people. A bad prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored people introduced in the Massachusetts Legislature two weeks ago has been killed --- May we not persuade the new Prairie New Standard to capitulate the word Negro? Mr Blacksbear is not afraid of offending the Austin regency, we hope. The dear old Democratic party in New York never fails or refuses to prepare the way for Republican victory And we never withdraw our gratitude. We are opposed to such treatment by the Republican party. The Boston Guardian Opposed? What right has a Democrat to oppose any Republican for run ning his house to suit himself? Tuskegee Institute denies the published story that the late Henry Riddings, a colored man of Iowa, left Tuskegee $30,000 by the terms of his will. There was no mention of Tuskegee in the will. This is all very bad indeed, but from last reports, the Institute will be able to get through the present term. "When the Negro wins his economic right to vote, the political problem of the Negro will be solved."—John Graham Brooks This is a statement that is at least worth thinking about. It comes from the lips of one of our most far-seeing and widely-known political economists. We reproduce this week another brave utterance from the Independent, greatest of all our weekly publications. William Hayes Ward, Hamilton Holt and Clarence Bowen never forget that their predecessor was Henry Ward Beecher, first editor of the Independent Doubleday, Page & Co, publishers, Garden City, N Y., in another column of The Ace this week call attention to Booker T. Washington's "The Story of the Negro." We trust the readers of The Ace may take advantage of the offer made by these publishers. Without regard to party affiliations which it is good sometimes to forget, the citizens of New York propose to human Chief M. M. Lee Good. If all Dallasites were cut out of the same cloth as the good Chief, we should favor a division of the Negro vote—even in Georgia. HASTY SPEECH. Last week President Tafe nominated for two important offices in the Federal Government two distinguished Americans, Negroes by race, James C. Napier, of Tennessee, and William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts. When last Fall it was announced that Mr. Napier, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Cottrill, of Ohio, would be appointed to fill posts of dignity and importance, THE Act, in addition to thanking the President for that promised and deserved recognition, adequately described the gentlemen honored in the observance. We stand by what was then our opinion of each. Mr. Lewis is an able lawyer, an orator of ability, and a gentleman of engaging personality. Mr. Napier is the head of a distinguished family, a lawyer of reputation, a successful banker, and the first citizen of the State of Tennessee. Official Washington will be enriched by their advent, and the cultivated colony of colored Washington, incomparable as it is, is to be congratulated upon the coming of two men who so well represent the character and attainment of their race and times. All along, once every month since the first indication of their appointments, THE Age has expressed confidence in Mr. Taft's courage to carry out his plans. With no slight disappointment and pain, with a proper regard for the value of wholesome criticism, in which we ourselves indulge, we followed in almost every Negro newspaper a tirade against the President for deserting Lewis and forsaking Napier, when there was no earthly reason for it, except as found in groundless reports from hostile sources, or in low-bred letter-writing as is carried on by a certain colored office-holder in Washington who has made trouble for President Taft and everybody else, not only in disrupting friendship by talebearing, but in an infamous effort to divide his own race on lines of color. When there is occasion for it, let us strike out, but we trust that responsible colored editors will be careful lest the approaching powers which will be theirs as the real leaders of public thought becomes dissipated through careless and empty talk, the practice of which will undo strong men. We all of us must remember that the President moves in a world of complications. When he deserts the colored people in the South to the mercy of "white Republicans," that is wrong and inexecutable. Condemnation should follow that. When he plans to advance a Lewis to a new and higher place in the Government, that requires diplomacy, and ought to exact from us patience and sympathy. When he places a Napier in the seat of a Vernon that is very good, but it is politic within the party. Think of this Fifty years after Abraham Lincoln became President there comes from the Negro race, at that time slaves, a man sufficiently able to be called to the office of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Forty years after emancipation the American people applaud a President with the courage to bestow the honor. And yet, impatiently we nail the point there are thoughtless Negroes who will allow unimportant white men to persuade them to appeal to Europe for justice. Where in Europe could a Negro ever hope to be appointed to a position so high and important in a government? There is a time to talk and a time not to talk, a time to urge and a time to refrain from urging, a time to fight and a time not to fight—a time to study the other man's maneuvers. Another evidence that the Negro is making progress was found last week in Baltimore John H. Murphy, the able editor of the Afro-American Ledger was not only given a banquet by the leading citizens of the community, but the chairman of the affair was another colored editor, Hugh E. McBeth, of the Baltimore Times --- Mrs. Gannon the wife of "Tay Day" (Bonner the great Irish leader, was a visitor in our city this week. This good lady went out of her way in order to 'rap' the colored man by protesting the appointment of Mr. Assistant Attorney General. While we know that the midman is a Southerner, but out ofference for the cause that her husband leads, she should be less prejudiced against the struggling ones of other races.—Savannah Tribune. Poor woman She has been unable, even in the atmosphere of Irish protest and belligerency, to overcome the deathly traditions of the slave-South Prejudice is a jealous master Booker Washington has said that all the bad deeds of the South are widely advertised, while but few good deeds ever get into print. That is true in a measure. The other day one of these postal banks was opened in Middlesboro, Ky. A wealthy white citizen. J. H. Bartlett, opened an account in the bank for every school child in the town, white and colored, penny and penny alike. This fine exhibition of genuine interest in the coming men and women of this particular community ought not to go noticed. Mr. Bartlett is a type of a rapidly increasing number of white Southerners who have sense enough to see that their section is doomed unless all the people come up together. In able review on "The Martyrdom of the Russian Jew," Mr. Herman Rosenthal recites the now well known persecution of the Jews, and tells how their lives are made really unbearable in the country districts, Mr. Rosenthal says: The Jews are fairly driven into the great center, and then they are upbraided for their tendency to gather in the cities. That is exactly the condition of Southern Negroes. The Age will not say, because we do not believe, that the persecution of the Negro equals the infamous Russian persecution of the Jews, but we do know that the Negroes congregate in our cities because they get no police protection in the rural districts. Except in the north and west, they get little police protection in the cities, but they are better off than they are in the country. Our southern editors might do well to remember this when they are condemning the Negroes for leaving the farms. NOTE AND COMMENT A Negro History. Some time ago this column presented a letter from C. N. Napper of Ohio,and an answer thereto from John C. Gilmer, with respect to a history of the Negro race. Mr. Napper keenly feels the need of a record of the race in this country properly written, and containing real historical data. In last week's Advocate he writes another letter, interesting enough to engage the attention of Acq readers: While in Tennessee I noted in The New York Age your comment on my recent communication. I am assured we both recognize the importance of Negro historical work and realize the exiting conditions go adverse to its prosecution This Friday, Founder's Day, Dr. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., will deliver an address at Wil伯力堡or that will be this regard, an object will be "A Knowledge of History is Conductive to the Solidarity of the Race." However, I must say I do not feel that we should be content to let matters remain as they are. That is just the difficulty with us and that continuously will never inspire an effort nor produce a single result. As a beginning in this historical work of the Negro's contribution to the welfare of this country I make the following suggestions, and glad to say we have the means at our command to carry them into effect at once. At our teachers institute select a person historically inclined and elect him historian. Let the historian make one single letter that has happened in the letter or State in which the Negro has played an important part. Let the historian center his efforts on securing the facts of this particular incident and at the yearly meeting present his paper. After discussion and adoption have several copies made and sent to our colored libraries and colleges all over the country. In a very short work with Our seniors could take historical subjects of the Negro for their opinions and papers and die them with the other documents. For instance, Major Jeffrey was a Negro soldier from Tennessee during the Revolutionary War. He spent the greater part of Jackson enlisted Negro soldiers for the defense of New Orleans in 1814. Here are two subjects that belong exclusively to Tennessee. Let the institute historian dig out these facts and deposit his thesis in the library at Disk University, an institution through paper each year, see what it would mean. Then when we did develop our historian he would have the material and facts at his command and could go right on with his endeavor. Isn't this plan plausible? isn't it the historian's responsibility to institute work? What true scholar and investigator would not desire the honor and privilege of doing this work? Best of all it can be done at once without waiting for more favorable circumstances. It can be done—will the Negro do it? It can be done—will the Negro do it? It cannot expect the other side to do it. Decidedly it is up to him. Mr Napper's suggestions are at least impressive, and his willingness to make Fisk University, the Afro-American's greatest college, the depository of the facts, as gathered is a manifestation of wisdom. Why not let Fisk undertake the work? A Woman Doctor. In the last Denver Independent there is a story of the work of a woman doctor Justina Ford, that ought to inspire every young woman who reads it. The Independent says that she is one of the best equipped physicians in the city of Denver. She was born in Illinois on a farm near Knoxville. Her parents being formers and in good comfort circumstances, sent her to school to teach. She was taught by her she gave signs of much depth and capability and was not forced for her persistence in mastering completely all of her studies. Every case, every patient, in most seriously diagnosed by her and theroin she a great measure of her success together with her skill and training from the Oakland school she taught in East St Louis for several years. Resigning from the school room she was next heard from in Chicago studying medicine. After graduating in medicine, she went to Alabama, where she was placed in charge of the Hospital and State Nurse Training Department, an institution two years. In 1902 she came to New York and hung out her shingle, making three States in which she had practiced her profession. Notes Without any flourish Senator Joseph B Foraker the great Ohio statesman has always shown his interest in the advancement of colored Americans. He has done more than speak for them. For example, his confidential stenographer and secretary in Cincinnati is a young colored man, William Stevenson, The "UP FROM SLAVERY" of the Race Booker T. Washington's The Story of the Negro Dr. Washington has written this book to express the positive, triumphant record of progress of the Negro in America—the facts of which he has gathered for many years. It is, of course, the final work to date on this subject, for there is nobody in the world whose statements on the Negro in America carry more weight or more intimate human interest. If the reading of these chapters shall in any degree inspire any Negro to make himself useful and successful in the world, I shall feel that I have accomplished what I have started to do in the writing of these pages"—From Dr. Washington's Primer.

Alum H Higgins, M. D. Provider, R. I. Feb. 21. WHAT IS A CAUCASIAN? (From the New York Independent) This is a conundrum, which is no joke. It is a very serious matter with many of the first Creole families of Louisiana. To us outside who look on it it is absurdly amusing, as the apes of those who make fools of themselves always are, no matter how serious to the participants. Louisiana was settled by the French The French used to have less fear of race admixture than English settlers Many Creoles, like Cubans, have a dark complexion, and have been suspected of Negro blood, which they angerily deny. Louisiana has art elaborate terminology for the successive dilutions, from the mulatto and the quadreen downward—or upward—which we printed some weeks ago. When the dilution reaches the sixteenth fraction it is almost undistinguishable, and at the sixty-fourth no test can discover it. For all practicable purposes the man is a Caucasian, but not for Louisiana law. Of all States, Louisiana ought to be the last to enact a law forbidding intermarriage of a white person with any one who has the least infusion of Negro blood. There is no knowing when it might hit, for in Louisiana beyond doubt many pass for white in whose genealogy research would discover a few drops of Negro blood. Such a case has recently stirred up the state A young woman of good family, a graduate of a fashionable ladies' seminary in New Orleans, was killed by being run over in the street. A newspaper spoke of her as colored. That was a mortal offense. Her brother brought suit for slander, and the editor, by referring to ancient records showed that one of her ancestors was recorded as colored. That put the whole family into a horrible plight. They had always thought of themselves as white, and had associated with white people. Now nobody would associate with them. They must sink, the white white to the dank and caste and associations of Negroes. Hitherto they had been good enough to associate with anybody. Now, with no fault of their own, and no change in themselves, they are thrust, with all their whiteness into the outer blackness. The dead girl has a sister happily married to a man of German origin. There was no question that he was a full Caucasian. But he had imbibed the Louisiana prejudice and terror of invisible and infinitesimal nigritude. He discovered and his wife did from the newspaper account that she had this bar sister. He could not continue to live with such a banned woman. Besides, the law forade it. He was liable to imprisonment for maintaining martial relations with her. He appealed to the courts to have his marriage annulled and the court could do no less. So she was sent adrift with the rest of her family. Thus this case two legal maxims had illustrations one by its truth, "Summa lex, summa injuria," and the other by its extreme contradiction, "The minimis lex non curant." The law does care a great deal for the smallest thing. Cares in Louisiana for what is so attenuated as to be invisible. Now such a law and such an enforcement is harbored beyond expression. It puts a suspicion in multitude of families. It is against all common sense, as against all Christianity. Who knows where, through personal mail, it may strike next? The story is told in the Sun—very likely so of a similar case in one of the patrons. A suit for shamer was brought for calling a family colored. The sheriff looked up the records and found the charge sustained. As the investigation amused him he looked further and found one of his own annotations recorded as colored, but a fortunate one soon after destroyed the proof. Now, what should be done? If Louisiana must maintain its infamous law against intermarriage it should set a line where the president Neroy Blood is to hold as washed out. But one eighths, or one-seventh, out of all the states, but at least set it oneway. If we do not marshaler South Carolina has such a law. It is adding stupidity to cruelty to allow the taint to go forever. And once more we adden all white Negroes in Louisiana, or anywhere else in the South to change their race. And so their pedigree holds. In such cases we cannot where the doctors can't tell whether a girl is white or black. Let them leave as white people and he received as white people. We do not doubt there are thousands of such people, both North and South, who have by changing their homes, changed their race, and have known such and not such as the bleaching process goes on, the conerium will cease to concern them. What is a Caucasian not a Caucasian? THE NEGRO'S TOWN Reports Progress In Every Direction and Invites New-Compares of the Right Kind—Chas Banks, the Business Genius—Chief Interests Building a Brick Store—Chief Mentor Conducted Gratified With His Organization. Series Correspondence of THE ASN. Mound Bayou, Miss, March 7.—When ever we come to discuss substantial Negro enterprises, the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and Manufacturing Co. stand out. The buildings are complex, the engine and boilers are been installed and the dwellings other necessary work has been done. It is a fact that the promoters of this undertaking are never sleep, and they have resolved that the wheels must turn over. The general meeting of the stockholders has called at the stockroom for March 15. It goes without saying that the stockholders meeting will bring together a number of leading men and a woman of the race from all parts of the State and from all parts of States Hon. Lakshmi T. Montgomery, president Hon. Aaley Cosey, secretary, O. W. Banks, manager, and John W. Francis, treasurer, are busy preparing for the stockholders meeting. When the Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons met at Holly Springs, Miss., last December and elected W. J. Gan, of Shelby, Grand Master, and Col. Charles Banks, secretary treasurer of the Masonic Beneath Association, it was a step in the right direction, and every day pays that the order is going forward. Of course it is generally known that the Masonic Benefit Association was moved from Edwards, Miss., to Mound Bayou, just after the new year. The office force numbers as a well dozen, with Mrs. L. M. Young as chief clerk. Col. Banks is a fast systematizing the work of the association, and the craft is well pleased We have had a good many prominent persons from over the State as well from out of the State, to visit Bayou, recently, prospectively. Permanent among them were MESSR. J. Brown, D. MESSR. and W. L. Houston ofLEXANDRIA, L.a. and Dr. D. A. Smith of Monroe, L.a. These gentlemen were brought to the city through the influence of George H. Mayes, Jr., the general traveling agent of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and Manufacturing business" and get the proper results. Rev R. T. Sims, D. of Canton, Miss., who is president of the Baptist Education and Convention of the Mississippi, has last week. Dr Sims is also Editor of The Mississippi Baptist, a strong weekly newspaper. New buildings are going up continually in nearly every part of the city, and there is no telling when the "rush" will stop. Most of the buildings and dwellings or homes for them are designed. We need the citizens of the right type. G. F. Bolton, a large land owner with a successful business man, has completed his residence and moved his family here. Lawyer G. W Malone, confidential man in the Masonic Benefit Association, is fast making his visit at Mound Bayou Heights, a clean-cut garden. Mrs. Malone visited recently. Their home is at Coshima Miss. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Mississippi are still making headway as the largest fraternal society of Mississippi Dr. A. Cosey is the Chief Grand Mentor. With Dr. Cosey at the head the order will make progress. He has recently visited Water Valley, Oxford, Denville, Dundee, Maidstone, Davenport, Clarksville, Greenville, in the interest of the work, and reports success Dr. S. P. Feldar, Presiding Elder of the Greenville District of the A M E Church was here recently, and organized a new lodge of the Independent Order of Eagles, of which he is the head Rev W P Q Bird pastor of Bethle A M E Church is still meeting with good success with his church work. He would make a splendid delegate to General Conferrer. E. I. Morris of Helenn, Ark. son, of Dr F. C. Morris is making good "a scholar in the Bank of Mound Bayou About the first of last year E P Bearson son of law of Hon. Joshua Morris returned from California Spencer had had for more than five years Mr. Boose began it once to look after the Montgomery interests is general manager, and is still proving to be a valuable assistant. As manager of the Demonstrator Mr. Boose is doing business. Dr. F. H. Harris in New York has recently fitted up his office which is hard to beat by a plenum in a large city. Dr W. P. Kish who has charge of "special business or affairs of Col Charles Banks is anxiously waiting to be joined by Mrs Kyle and the "kids" of all our schools are crowded. At the baptist College, Prof R M. McCorkle president, they have them "wedged in" The Mound Bayou Normal with Prof. B. F. Beynon, principal, is filled up. The public school with Mrs G A Brant and her assistants are at The Vermers are busy and the ball had better hurry up or get out. James A. Booker, representative of the United States Government, in the capacity of Demonstration Farming Agent, is doing a fine work. The Green Grove Baptist Church, located in Aurora, Ariz., has decided to treat a brick edifice and will begin at once to raise money for that purpose. This is the largest congregation in this section of the country, and it has a pastorate has been very successful. It is generally known that Irwin is the corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Benefit Society, which demands little of his time, but he is a booker, a charter writer, a self-styled manner. He is presenting a trip to Texas, some time in the interest of the nation's war. Henry J. Montgomery the sage of Montezuma Bay, is erecting a nice large brick building in which he will serve as well as the Deacon. He will prove a splendid addition to the building. Mr. Montgomery larger and better conceived with which to handle his Deacon. GEN JONES HONORED. Leading Men Pay Tribute to Cincinnati Favorite Son—Cotttrill Speaks. Regular correspondence of Tue Ago.

BUFFALO TRADESMEN SUCCESS FUL All Workers Find Plenty to Do and Encounter No Prejudice—Business Men Uniformly Successful—Mrs. Tol- bert Honored by Twentieth Century Club. Regular Correspondence of Tus Aoy Buffalo N. Y. March 8 — A great deal is heard during those times of colored men in the trades world Buffalo adds hers to the number. David Smith has for years been a successful brick mason and is one of the highest prized masons here. He never has had any difficulties in working beside white men, and he is taking them. Mr Smith has two sons who are also successful plasterers. I, William, is a successful plasterer. I, Thomas, who Wilson has been pasting linters at Nigaska Falls N. Y. with his results, he does not do plasterers or plasterers for his support. Wilson when not busy at the linters is sought for and has all of his work that he can do. He has long been a plasterer and never has trouble in securing work. Joseph and John Davis are also successful carpenters. In various lines of work we find that the Ngozo all over the country has had to step back and give room to forerun help. We know this to be true in the earlier line, also as writers and in large and rich churches where years ago the janitors were colored as soon as they are retired their places are taken by foreigners. Fortunately most of our large churches here have colored janitors. Luke Greene for years was the efficient janitor of Trinity Church on Delaware avenue. He was a pioneer in his position in his appreciation of his faithful services. Church's forman has rounded out 20 years of service at the First Congregational Church last year the church presented him with a very fine gold witt and chain. John Dober has been for years with St Mary's on the Hill Lorenzo Harper at St Paul's Frank Park at the altarion such as highly respected by the various parishes in which they work. Albert Tayler served 10 years ago with James Lathrop and Melissa Francis formed the Frontier Automobile Company. They did a diversifying business and their garage was filled with cars, buses, trucks, excursions and the owner seeing that the locality was just suited for the business refused to renew their lease and the company at first had a trying time in a suitable place. They could not take a business while the company was forced to dialed. A white man is still doing business at their old stand Mr. Tayler was known as a careful driver, and has a varied career over the years. At the company he turned himself in. Three Arrow car Mr. Tayler is a first class barber and after deciding to give up the automobile business opened a first class touring parlor opposite the New York central depot where he is doing all the unanticipated possibilities can do with another nasalist. This parlor is a credit to the race. Mont Tate, the accomplished and worthy leader of the Metropolitan orchestra is another good substantial citizen that Buffaloonians are proud of. Mr. Tate has demonstrated his musical ability before many audiences and his orchestra is to Buffalo what Walter F. Craig's is to New York. He is also an expert on musical tutorials and it is laughingly remarked that many of our colored brethren who have "crossed the line" are obliged to go to William street to get Mr. Tate make thems "prestable" and "grateful" for the other side. Walter Derror is perhaps the oldest barber in the city from point of service. He is a quippei in Michigan street and a specialist on hair and scals disease. Mr. Derror has for years manufactured certain tonics for the hair and also "face washes" for skin affections. Mr. Mr. is a great among white as colored men. Just a word concerning Buffalo's hotel men. Samuel Rue has been established on Michigan street for the past five years. Joseph Williams, proprietor of the "Empire Buffet" and manager of the Criticism office, show his ability to be a business man. Both of these places of business flourish. Mr. Williams has learned the secret of successful business methods. Robert Thomas came here some three or four years ago and established the Thomas Exchange on Exchange street, where he is also located on road station. This hotel contains over 50 rooms, which are occupied by railroad men. A special feature is good, home cooked food which has also endeared his place to the railroad man who so often gets poorly cooked food when on his run. The Thomas Exchange, a young man, has only recently entered the hotel business, buying out the well established business of Barnhardt Bro. Mr. Mentgomery completely remodeled the place, and is catering to al large number of railroad men, in fact his place is now crowded and it is predicted that he will have to open an annex to accommodate his many friends and patrons. James Harris has been conducting a pool room for several years with marked success. Benjamin Allen, who is located on Exchange street, is in the school district. James Manuel has been in business on Clinton street for about twenty years. His place of business is tenderly referred to as "the old men's club." Here the various political leaders would meet from time to time, and thrash the school board. The G. U. O. O. F., and Household of Ruth No. 10, celebrated Peter Ogden day March 1. At S. Luke's A. M. E. Zion Church Rev. J. C. Taylor gave the address. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the church. A waitress served the young men's club of the colored social center Monday evening. Mrs. Lulu Butler of Porter street entertained at cards Friday evening. There were four tables and a very enjoyable meal was served. Mrs. Charles Onoreman returned home, having been ill and confined to the hospital for several months. Harry Jackson, of Newport, R. L. left last week to pay a short visit to his home before leaving for the Panama Canal, where he is to be employed. Mr. Jackson was employed here at the Pineapple Great Arrow plant and was one of the highest paid employees of that great factory. The younger set of Buffalionians will miss him greatly. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Talbert were quite agreeably surprised by a visit of Mr. and Mrs. W. Frederick Trottman Brooklyn, who were spending their yellowmoon in Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Mrs. William H. Talbert was a guest at the Twentieth Century Club last week, with members of the Association of Collegiate Alumnas and of the Brazilians should be proud to find ones of their number constantly recognized by the very best class of white people in a social way. It was only last month at the great "Millnowski" recital at the Twentieth Century Club that Mrs. Talbert was the guest. One of the invited guests. The daily spoke of the affairs as being the most brilliant functions attended by the cultured that has ever assembled at the Twentieth Century Club. Is the case that who has been quite ill, is reported to be Henry H. Lewis spoke before a large audience at the Christian Culture Congress. His subject was 'The Rising Son was easily handled, in a measure it was a review of the history of the Church.' The supper given by the ladies of Biblical V M E Church Friday evening was a grand success. TEXANS HEAR MME. HACKLEY. Warm Political Contest on in Texas Capital Where the "Ins" that Enfranchised the Negro Are Bought by the "Outs." Regular Correspondence of THE AGR Austin Tex March L Rev J K Pastorist of First Baptist Church, one of the foremost ministers of the city and is ever alert in securing the city's congregations. He and President R S Lovinggood presented last Friday night Madam E Z Hackley in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church, to which several hundred extra seats had been added all of which were filled. She was given a roaring ovation. Rev. Hilda of Tithonian Church, to hold a dinner at R Hus master of ceremonies, presented Miss Patterson a city school teacher, form- ers of Washington D C, and a pupil of Mine Hackley who rendered a piano solo. Mine Hackley was intro- duced and given a hearty shee- sheing and the company to compen- sion with a huge bouquet of roses by President R S L. Lovinggood in behalf of church and its pastor. She was comp- piled to respond to several encores She made a plea for the support and production of artists in the race and a high compliment to Richard I Hackley. Shakespeare order and toll of her enjoyable visit to the "Lone Star" state. Peter Fallows is a trusted employee of Williams Links to all similar a la boy. Dr T A Webster, the attending physician reports mother and son doing fine. The waxing warm and eloquent in the coming majority election between the "old" and "new" gang. The old gang of present members, gave the Negro the rights of his franchise at the primaries and there is a rumor in the under current that the "new" gang wants to get things the "old way" done. The new gang is delin in the nominate primaries. Colored voters will take notice and stop taking drinks and cigars. Let the civic improvement go on, our laborers are in greater demand how than ever before, not on the chain gang either. Show your colors March 20, 1911 Williams Links has largest demand fraternal insurance concern in the city, is forging ahead Since the barring of Negroes from the old line insurance companies this concern has made rapid strides and is showing the strength of Negro brain and money when efficiently directed. Dr T A Webster, as the D A Abur, W H Crawford and the physician and P A Williams is clerk Rev. J. H. Harrold, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, reports having a fine rally last week and was materially injured by Rev Quinis, pastor of Simpson Mission, Mt. Charles and his congregation, which shows there is a mission. The Douglas City schools build the schools to have the school head insult sanitary hydrants in all the school buildings as well as to enlarge some, so as to more comfortably accommodate the children. Some of our political leaders have a chance to assist them by bringing the conditions to the notice of the present legislature. R. B. Keys and Mrs. Josephine Harrison-surprised her many friends byarrying the Saturday night club. One of the fastest bricklayers in the city and the only Negro belonging to the white union. He has a nice home and is very prominent socially and fraternally. New Rochelle, N. Y., Mar. L—Sunday was a great day in Shiloh. Rev. W. H. Slater, after closing a very successful revival services, in which some fifty-two people were converted, administered the rites of baptism to fifteen new members, and trustees of Bethesda Baptist Church threw open the doors of Bethesda and the church was not equal to the crowd that sought admission. Standing room could not be had. There are two events in the happenings of New Rochelle in the summer after lacking a funeral and a baptism. The services at Bethesda were well attended, both morning and evening. The pastor, Rev. Boddie, and Deacon Brown flatly contradicted the statement that occurred in the Evening of the Sacrament. The Lamden had instituted foreclosure proceedings against Bethesda Church on account of non-payment of a $1,500 mortgage. Just how the statement was given to the paper no one is able to find of the expiration after a great number of on-age women who members of that church were supposed to have burned the mortgage. Rev. Adam Jackson occupied the pulpit Sunday evening for Rev. Haynes, and preached a great sermon from the life of Jacob. After the services Rev. Haynes called the McClendon to the house, he was in a position to take a limited number of patients to his house for treatment or for operation. This is certainly a long needed blessing and we feel the doctor will have all he can care for. His house is ideally situated and is most elegantly arranged for the children, girls in the employ of the whites, when taken with illness, are told they must get some place to stay. The one hospital in our city does not care to take them, and so if without home they must suffer until some of our people are kind enough to take them in, and few to trouble them in the sick Mrs. Rena. Turns out Tuckman and four weeks was confined to her bed at the residence of Mr. McClendon, was discharged last week and was able to return to her home and occupation. It is shocking the lateness of the hour that our people assemble for worship. At 12 noon, when other churches are dismissing, our people can be seen services at our churches are just beginning, and 10 p. m. and 10.30 p. m. are usually the closing hours, and this rule is broken once each month, when the clock, striking the hour of 11, finds us leaving our churches and many of us getting home at 12 and 1 a. m. And this, too, is preceding the hardest day's labor of the week—Monday, which is wash day. Why do not the pastor use a clock to keep with the rest of the program that is being made and see to it that services begin and close at a seemingly hour in the morning and evening* White tenants are gradually moving further to the west in our city in their desire to be far removed from the Negroes. Last week saw the almost extinct tenant in the ward march of the Negro tenants and four families moved on that evening with two others to follow. We rejoice in that, but we are a wee bit sorry to see some of our Negro data and collages vacant at the moment. If the rent payment is nice if so, why not take them? If however, the rent is higher wisdom would teach us to fall to the level of those around us. Jon Brown of Wingchau avenue continues very well. Drs Gau and W McClendon held consultation over him. Just what the doctors found we are unable to say. Mrs Ella McFale of Cedar street, who has been confined to her home for more than two months, is able to the skill of her doctor, C.P. McClendon. Miss Ethel Rucker and Mr W H Smith were quietly married at the residence of Mr. and Mrs Chas Harvey, Huguenot street, Feb 22, the Rev J R Boddle officiating The bride and groom left Friday for East Rangar Pu, where Mrs Harvey was born and an earnest worker in Bohotian Church. Mrs Robert Harris of North avenue spent Sunday in Englewood, N J, the guest of Mrs D H Taylor. Norwich Notes Regular Correspondence of THE AGR Norwich Coun, March 1.

WALTON "DEACON" JOHNSON WINS NOVEL SUIT FROM February 28 to March 6 a number of justices, jurors by the score and a formidable array of legal talent devoted a large part of their time in several divisions of the City Court wrestling with a question which involved the merits and demerits of music. As in every controversy, there were two sides to this question. Fredrick W. Johnson, a colored musician, better known as "Deacon" Johnson, being one of the parties to the suit, and the management and attaches of the Mariborough Hotel representing the other side. "Deacon" Johnson won out Johnson sued the Mariborough Hotel management for breach of contract, alleging that a male quartet under his management was put out of the hotel irrespective of a contract in force between him and the hotel people. After the case had been heard by two juries, judgment was given Johnson in Justice McAoy's division of the City Court Monday for $1,870, the entire amount used for. The case promises to attract additional attention, as motion was made by the attorneys for the Marlborough Hotel management immediately after the jury returned a verdict in favor of Johnson, asking that the tendings of the twelve men be set aside Justice McAvey acted favorably on the motion and the attorneys for the colored musician then filed notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. On February 25 the case was first tried in Part 1 of the City Court before Justice Finchie. The jury heard the THE testimony for two days before retiring to the jury room. After deliberating for several hours, Justice Finelite was informed that the jurors were unable to agree, and they were dismissed. It as said that the jurors stood in favor of awarding Johnson judgment and two against. The case was again brought up for trial in Part 2 of the City Court Monday, and another jury was selected. All the jurors selected swore that they would render a verdict according to the testimony introduced and without prejudice on account of color. They did. The most unusual feature of the case was that while "Deacon" Johnson was the only witness to testify in his behalf, five persons were put on the stand for the Marlborough Hotel. They were the president, treasurer, general manager, house detective and head walter. And yet "Deacon" Johnson convinced the jurors that he knew more about music than the five opposing witnesses. In testifying the witnesses for the Mariborough Hotel, which is located at Broadway and Thirty-sixth street, did not claim that the music furnished by the plaintiff's quartet was bad, but they used a more pointed word—one unvarnished and barren of any ornamental verbiage. The word they unanimously employed to express their respective opinions of the brand of music supplied by the colored quartet is spelled with six letters—rotten, with emphasis on the first syllable. Johnson vigorously combatted the uncomplimentary remarks made to the jury about the quartet of colored musicians, and proceeded to show that his quartet was not rotten, but just the opposite composed of singers and musicians of unusual merit. He sought to favorably impress the members of the jury with the fact that his men were up to date in every particular and were as familiar with the musical numbers in "Madam Sherry," "The Spring Maid," "Naughty Marietta," etc., as they were with "Old Kentucky Home," "Old Oaken Bucket," and other numbers of years ago. The witnesses for the Marlborough Hotel also testified that many of the guests were Southerners, who objected to the presence of colored musicians. The manager of the establishment stated that he broke his contract with "Deacon Johnson" because the quartet injured business, the Southern patrons not taking kindly to the tuneful strains played for the edification of the guests by colored musicians. It took the jury but thirty minutes Monday to reach a verdict, the members deciding that a contract was a contract and that the music furnished by the colored quartet was not rotten, but of high order. The motion of the attorneys for the Marlborough Hotel, asking that the court set aside the verdict was based on the contention that the jury in deciding the case had given more credence in the testimony of the witness "Deacon" John- --- "DEACON" JOHNSON son—than to that furnished by the five witnesses for the hotel. Kaprenstein Brothers, with offices at 280 Broadway, who represented Johnson, have appealed the case to a higher court, alleging that Justice McAvoy allowed himself to be carried away by prejudice when he set aside the verdict of the jury, which awarded Johnson judgment for $1,870. They feel confident that the Supreme Court will decide the case in favor of their client. The action of Justice McAvoy in setting aside the verdict of the jury has been food for comment among the colored lawyers of New York, many of whom seem to think that Justice McAvoy was more actuated by race prejudice than by Blackstone in acting favorably on the motion of the attorneys for the Mariborough Hotel. They are at a loss to understand why the case was allowed to go to the jury if there was a preponderance of testimony in favor of the Mariborough Hotel.

At a meeting of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, held at the club's headquarters, 320 West 53rd street, Tuesday evening, Walter F Craig, Pete De Rose and Joseph Sweatman were elected members. A letter was read from the White Rats, inviting the association to join the Federation of Labor as a body, which was referred to a committee. "Marching Through Georgia," one of the most pretentious and picturesque pieces ever put on in New York City, was presented at the Hippodrome Monday for the first time. The play is reminiscent of the Civil War and abounds in Union and Confederate soldiers. Nearly two hundred colored people of every description are used in the spectacle and they sing and dance in characteristic fashion Anthony - Byrd has one of the leading parts and sings "Old Black Joe." Last week the Capital City Stock Company made its initial appearance at the Howard Theatre, Washington, presenting Richards and Brown in a two-act comedy entitled "A Stranded Show." Jesse Brown did the principal comedy work, while Bessie Crawford scored in her singing. The company consists of twenty-six people, including S. Richards, W. Richards, Jesse Brown, H. Morton, T. Washington, R. Harvey, E. Luckett, A. Harris, B. Campbell, A. Crawford, V. Bolles, F. Hardy, R. W. Hewlett, L. Jackson, M. Levin, L. Grande COMEDIAN ASSAULTS CRITIC. Just before the opening matinee performance of the Smart Set Company at Weber's Theatre, Chicago, last week, Sylvester Russell, the well known dramatic crutie, was assaulted by S. H. Dudley, the star of the Smart Set Company. The trouble is said to have grown out of an article written a short time ago by Russell, in which he criticised the comedian for having permitted his young son to appear on the stage in a performance. According to Russell, Dudley shook hands with him and then called him into a side room to speak with him privately. Instead of talking, the comedian is charged with having landed several telling blows on Russell's physiognomy, cutting a deep gash below one of the critie's eyes. The interference of bystanders prevented further harm from being done. Russell has brought suit against Dudley for damages. CRESCENT THEATRE. John Rucker camped away from the rest of the bill at the Crescent Theatre this week and was easily the one best bet. At each performance he was responsible for much laughter and applause. The comedian has a number of good songs as well as a collection of humorous stories, which he gets over effectively. There was too much sameness in the acts presented by Marge Bush and Minnie Jones. Although Miss Bush displays more confidence in herself than when she --- --- --- appeared at the Crescent Theatre some weeks ago, her voice at times does not seem to be equal to the songs she is wont to use. Miss Jones, a newcomer, also sang. The Turney Trio, who are experts with Indian clubs, as well as hoop rollers of ability, made good. MANAGERS COMBINE. Vaudeville circles were agog last week over the announcement that the leading vaudeville managers of the country had formed an organization for their mutual interest and that the war that had been waging for about three years between the United people on one side and William Morris on the other, had been declared off. Although the combination formed a few years ago by Keith and Proctor, Martin Beck, Percy Williams, William Hammerstein, etc., will continue to dominate the variety world, yet Marcus Loew hoops up as a prominent figure. He has taken over William Morris' interests and allied himself with the United Booking Office, clarifying the situation. It is thought that the new state of affairs will materially help the colored vaudevillian. COLLEGIANS PRODUCE DRAMA. Washington, D. C, March 7 - N. L. Swartout's college comedy in four acts, entitled "One of the Eight," was produced by the senior class of Howard University at Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel several evenings ago, and will be remembered as one of the most elaborate and satisfying productions ever witnessed at Howard. The essentials of the story may be summarized briefly as follows: Henry B. Coe, a young country boy on being persuaded to leave his country home, and enter Bookworth College, make the victory boat crew team, but through the intriguing of Guy Mark he is wounded at thett, and for this reason objects are made to his entering the race. The rest of the story deals with his final triumph and the victory of the college crew. The pay from a technical sandpoint was not among the best college plays and was rendered motive by the introduction of the hypnotist, Guy Marks. The story also contained some improbabilities and many of the effects were too obvious, but the natural enthusiasm and the spirit with which each part was portrayed was proof against these many conditions and shortcomings. On the one hand it would be unfair to criticise all the performers too closely, for most of them must gain firmness and consistency in their acting, but on the other hand the performance was smooth, spirited and quite in the vein of college plays, and their start in acting is indeedProminent. Joseph Williams is Guy Marks and Miss Mabel Tunnelis in *Helen Baldwin* easily bore off the homies of the performance. Mr Williams displayed the force, naturalness and decisive qualities necessary in portraying such a dating villain. Miss Tunnelis indeed a most agreeable surprise to her most ardent admirers. Her portrayal of *Helen Baldwin* was truly a spirited performance instinct with emotional power, spiritful humor, perfect emulation and picture-esque movement. It is a pity that much more judicious care was not exercised in selecting Mr Franklin's wog, and the make up of Mr McAden also, in the selection of Percy Garland for the hero. While it is true that large men have no monopoly over successes in athletic endeavor, the selection of Peter Carter would have been much better, because in height and appearance he can better realize so important a character. Mr Carter as a breezy college actor and athlete ramped through the play in a way that won him abundant applause while Mr Crumpton portrayed the part of Bull Carter, the captain of Bookworth crew, with real dignity, distinction and charm. Miss Evans was uncommonly clever in *Mrs Brooks*. Except a few stilted poses, Miss Maude Wilson was irresistible in *Amy*, the college first. Her charming gowns well became her graceful figure. James Jackson made in ideal (bookish stupid) freshman and in his drunken scene he was exceedingly amusing. Charles Huntley acted the port of Lord Chillingworth but he was not an Irish lord in matter of looks, accent or carriage. In the boat race scene his action was superb. Beni Taylors is Peter proved himself an unrepressible and quick fire comedian in Miss Alma Franklin and Messrs Joseph Franklin, L. B Carey and Moley McAden with exceeding cleverness did much to help out the action with their vitality of youth and unilagating interest. The realistic stage effects should also come in for a good amount of praise, especially noteworthy was the blowing of CRESCENT THEATRE 26-38 WEST 135th STREET NEW YORK CITY Beautifully Decorated and Up-to-date, Presents Strong Bill by Noted Vaudeville Artists and Novel Pictures.

The work at Mr. Washington L. done is nothing short of marvelous.

Special Correspondence of The Acr. Baltimore, Md., March 7—Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States Minister to Liberia, and at present pastor of the John Wesley M. E. Church, was one of the principal speakers to appear before the City Council to protest against the new segregation ordinance. In addressing the members of the City Council Dr. Lyon said. "As citizens and taxpayers of the city and state we avail ourselves of the opportunity which you have granted us, to record our protest against the passage of the West segregation ordinance, for the following potent reasons, to wit: "First, because it is unconstitutional. "Second, because it is unjust to the black man. "Third, because it is unjust to the reputation of the city. "Fourth, because it stirs up unnecessarily bad feeling among the two races. "Speaking of the first, we believe the measure to be unconstitutional, and if allowed to become a law, will deprive the colored people, as citizens and taxpayers, of rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. It is a great wrong for any class of citizens, because of numerical strength to take advantage of the other class, because of numerical weakness, and so deprive them of rights and privileges which are not denied to others. "We have every reason to believe that the measure in question is aimed at the colored man, although the white man is bound to suffer largely from the reaction in its enforcement, if it becomes a law. It is extremely doubtful if similar legislation would be introduced in this Council against any other race in the community, except the colored race. And why is this? Surely, not because he represents, either the worst or the most unprofitable element in the community—but because he is numerically weak, and has the misfortune to be of a different political faith. It is a political measure, designed as an infliction of punishment upon detenseless victims, whose only offense is that they have adhered too closely to the political traditions of their fathers. It is not a measure designed to aid a struggling race, but rather to crush its aspirations and to deprive it of sanitary conveniences, in its domestic endeavors, which will be impossible if this measure becomes a law. "It is unjust to the colored people, who in every way have shown themselves to be thrifty and industrious citizens. In few cities in the Union, it may, a better record be shown in race progress and development. In his ownership of real estate, in his moral and religious endeavors, in his business and other ventures, and as a factor in labor, he has won his right to recognition and fair play, in those things, which are the common heritage of American citizens. He is quite willing to stand or to fall on the record he is making in these directions. Directly he pays taxes on more than $4,500,000 on real and personal estate. He owns $2,000,000 in church property. Indirectly he contributes an appreciable sum to the tax levies of the landlords by rentals. "The colored people in the city, at the minimum average of $12 per capita, spend with the white merchants annually from two to two and a half millions of dollars for substitute- to say nothing of other expenditure, such as clothing, transportation, amusement, etc. His earnings, deposited in city savings banks, aggregating a neat sum help to swell the dividends of these institutions. In professional life there are 20 graduated physicians, 12 lawyers, 400 public school teachers, 10,000 school children, two institutions of collegiate grade—namely, Morgan College, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Clayton Williams Institute, under the control of the Baptist denomination. There are 105 ministers of the Gospel, 500 business men, consisting of merchants, contractors, builders, undertakers, printers, etc, and eight journals. This is but a brief statement of facts relating to the status of the colored man in Baltimore City, which am quite sure contributes to his crime, and ders unnecessarily and legalize on him, and that he is thrifless and unprofitable. Does not this element deserve some consideration at the hands of the City Fathers, without regard to political affiliation and race connections? City Buffers by Racial Acquisition. "The measure is unjust to the reputation of the city of Baltimore from the viewpoint of capital. It makes Baltimore more an undestable place for the investment of capital. It would appear from these constant agitations that the city is in danger and is suffering from racial troubles. Surely no capitalist would want to invest his money in such a center where there is likely to be race troubles. These are some of the chief reasons why capital is giving Baltimore the black eye. Before the agitation of these measures so unjust to the black man, and to the City of Baltimore, the former has always prided himself—at home and abroad, upon the friendly and peaceful relations which existed between the two races in Baltimore, as well as the liberality of the white people in their support of every ludable endeavor which has as its object the improvement of the colored population in their midst. Why should that relation be disturbed by the passage of such an unfair and unjust measure? "The passage of this measure stirs up unnecessarily bad feeling between the two races, a condition which should not exist. It is impossible to persuade the colored people from believing that the author of this measure is an enemy of the race and, therefore, wishes it no good. It is impossible to persuade them from believing that the Democratic party is immical to the interest of the black man, since all such agitations and unfriendly leagues in infomative's have their sponsors are always men of that faith. Such a contemplation cannot fail to stir up bad feeling, which will in the ultimate militate against both races for it is impossible, conditioned as we are in the body police, under a democratic form of government—to enact any kind of law that will affect one class of the citizens, without affecting the other class in such shape or form. For Measure Ja Unjust DR. ERNEST LYON these reasons, I have the honor, along with other members of my race, to file my protest against this enforced segregation, based upon statutory enactment." NOW IT IS RICHMOND City Council Considering Segregation Ordinance—White Priest Speaks Against Measure in Behalf of Catholic Church. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Richmond, Va., March 7—Last week the Council committee on ordinance, charter and reform of the city held a meeting and by a unanimous vote recommended to the City Council the Vonderlecker segregation ordinance, which restricts the ownership of property to this extent. That no white person shall reside in a block where the majority of the residents are colored, and that no colored people shall live on a block where the white people are in majority. John Mitchell, Jr., led a delegation of the most representative citizens of the race, who spoke against the measure. Mr. Mitchell said that there was no necessity for such a law, as the races were well segregated, and that the Negro only wanted desirable property in localities that was conducive to good health and the ideals of a desirable American citizen. He said that owing to the large increase of the Negro population that the race in the city was compelled to enlarge its residential section. Rev Father Hannigan, whose church is doing good work for the uplift of the Negro in Richmond, spoke against the measure and exhibited the Christian spirit of a true man. He spoke of the un Christian like attitude of the lawmakers and said that the salvation of the black man's soul was according to the doctrine of his church as important as that of the white man's, and, for that reason he had devoted his life the last twenty years in Christian service among Negroes and for whom he was not ashamed. He paid a tribute to the Negro and impressed the committee with this fact, that he was eminently fitted in giving the best service he ever wore to Negro in his development. He said that he spoke for the Catholic Church and raised the question concerning the buildings now occupied by Christian or organizations which would be affected by the discriminating law. His utterances in the defense of the people for whom he was devoting his life were significant. ABVOCATES NEGRO EDUCATION (Continued from Page 1) man. He has held his present position for 12 years. He could not hold it a day if he did not have a common school education. I couldill several columns of this paper with examples of Negroes I know who are doing well their part in the world, wok, who were born since the days of slavery who are law-abiding, who are educating their children to be useful citizens, and who are contented and happy. These men give the lie to the loose talk of such men as Blease and his Alexander County friend. But as long as we have such ten who will insist upon turning a face of people who the friend of the white race into mental slavery, is somebody's public duty to place such facts as I have given above before the world "CHARLES L. COON, 'Supt Wilson Public Schools 'Wilson, Feb. 28." ACTIVE ABOLITIONIST DEAD. William M. Chapman, who was one of the most active abolitionists during the days preceding the Civil War, died Saturday at his home, 51 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, at the age of 72. He had been all about three weeks. So active had he been in expounding his belief in the abolition of slavery that his life was menaced by the mobs during the draft roots in New York in 1883, and for safety he and several others were locked up in the old arsenal in Seventh avenue. They spent nearly a week under military guard before it was considered safe for them to venture out Mr Chapman was born in Flemingham, N. J., the son of John and Lisa McKenzie. He came to New York at the age of 14. His ancestors on his father's side were of an old New England family, having come to this country in 165. His mother's South ancestors came here in 1700. He went in the dry good business with his brother, but after a few years gave it up and went into the sugar refining business. He was interested in several refineries, but sold his interests and after a brief career as a stock broker went in the employ of the Interborough Company. He went to Brooklyn about thirty years ago, and although he was once active in many clubs, he resigned from all but the Inventible Club. His survivors are a widow, Kate S. Chapman, a daughter, Kate A., and two sons, Edward C. and Livington. New Bedford Briefs regular correspondence of the Ade New Bedford, Mana. Mass. 8.

Greensboro Scenes of Inspiring Gathering—Practical Lectures Given to Agriculturists—Many Farmers Tell of Experiences. Special Correspondence of THE AGR. Greensboro, N. C., March 7.—Never before in the history of North Carolina has there been evidenced on the part of Negro farmers such a substantial interest in various phases of agricultural activity as a result of the state since the Second Annual Farmers' Conference at the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, this city. The results are largely due to the interest in the Negro farmers of this state by Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the college. "Dairying in the South" was the subject of a lecture by Professor Conover, of the State Department of Agriculture. Professor Flowe, assistant state veterinarian, gave a lecture on "The Common Diseases of Live Stock," which was noted because of its wholesomeness and the solving of certain problems peculiar to the subject. The first day's session was ended with common sense talks by J K. Lyle, S W R Slade and a number of other successful farmers. The trains into the city during the second day brought farmers from all sections of the state. It was the most interesting crowd of people that has ever been seen on the campus of this thoroughly equipped college Professor Flowe conducted a clinic of sick animals. Professor Conover gave another one of his practical lectures that interested those who were not farmers. Prof. C R Hudson, state agent for the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstrative Work, Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C, made a plain talk on the subject of plants, which was very effective. A number of farmers spoke of their problems making known their failures and successes. Among the many who spoke of their success, largely due to their children having an agricultural training, W. R. Richardson, of Anson County, said that during the past year he had made on 20 acres of land 16 bales of cotton, 300 bushels of corn, 17 bushels of wheat, bushels of sugar and sold $100 worth of eggs. The kind of philosophy enjoyed by the farmers was found in the motto of S. W. White, of Cabarrus County, who said. "Never let your wagon break down going away from town, but let it break down going to town with things to sell." Other speakers were Prof. C. K. Graham of Hampton Institute, Mr Long who is connected with the Department of Agriculture, in charge of the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Work and Dr Steadman, of the National Department of Agriculture. HAS CORNELL THE FEVER? Colored Student Claims That They Are Drawing Color Line at Well Known New York Institution. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Ibhac, N. Y. Marc, N. James B. Clark a young student at Cornell, charges in the Cornell Law that there is a strong prejudice at Cornell University against a blind student and that it has no power to make it impossible to young colored women to obtain a degree in the women's dormitory at Sage College. Clark says that the ideals of the founder in establishing an institution where any person might obtain instruction are not being carried out. In part he says. "Four years ago a person who wished instruction made application before arriving here for accommodation in the dormitory for female persons. The officials in charge of the building found out that the applicant, although not more heavily pigmented than the average resident, belonged to a type of persons known as colored. "Shortly after the father of this girl received a curt note containing his deposition and informing him it was a cruel imposition not to have said his daughter was a Negress. "Last year two women students who had grown tired of climbing the hill or getting half frozen waiting for street cars, wished to obtain rooms near the university. The only place where they could even dare to apply was Sage College. Here the dean informed them that while she herself had no objection to letting them draw for rooms, some of the other occupants of the building make it very unpleasant for them. "Those who are obliged to go back this year to the New quarter in the lower part of the town. Is that the way Mr Cornell's ideals are being carried out? Is this the way Gold win Smith's memory is being honored and respected? Does Andrew D White approve of this state of affairs?" RALPH E BROCK RESIGNS Special Correspondence of The ACR Wayneboro, Pa. March 7 The state of Pennsylvania announces that in the resignation of Ralph E. Brock, the Negro Superintendent of nurseries at the state forest academy, it feels that it has lost a valuable public servant. Mr Brock has been at Alto a number of years and will now become a consulting and contracting forester at West Chester. He has been one of the most valuable men in the employ of the department of forestry and much of the very good results at the Mont Alto nurseries is due to his intelligent and indefatigable work. He was appointed forest assistant, April 3, 1922 upon the recommendation of Governor Stone, who was interested in him and his work by some of the leading men of Chester county and Philadelphia. He was assigned to go with Prof Goo H. Wirt to Mont Alto, to assist in planting the first forest nursery in the state of Minnesota forest academy as a member of its first class and was graduated after a highly creditable course there.
