XXIX No. 36 THE CABARET AS SEEN IN HARLEM Conducted by Colored Saloon Keepers for Entertainment of Patrons. SUBJECT OF MUCH CRITICISM Objectionable Features, Prominent in Beginning of Development, Cause of Investigation and Supervision. WHITES OPPOSE NEGROES The White Saloonmen in Manifestations Antagonize the Colored Saloonmen and Upbraid Negroes who Patronize their Qwn Race—Leaders of Race are Patrons of White Saloons, Setting Wrong Example. One of the striking features of the Negro saloonman's business in Harlem is the development of the "Cabaret" side of it. This cabaret, or rathskellar, or chic by itself, of which terms it is sometimes called, has had a gradual growth from a small room where intermittent entertainment was offered—the patrons of a saloon to its present proportions, in which it is found in some cases a complete, orchestra and a company of singers and dancers engaged for the sole purpose of entertaining during the course of an afternoon or evening. While the downtown white saloonmen, in a number of instances, provide cabarets for patrons, the white saloonman in Harlem does not do so, except in rare instances, the purveyors of this sort of amusement at this time being almost altogether among the Negro saloonmen. Many of the criticisms directed at the Negro saloon-keeper in the past has been traceable to this fact, and to this can also be attributed some of the restrictions with which this phase of the business has been surrounded. If the business has been restricted, it has had good results, for it is a fact that at present there is hardly any fault to be found with the manner in which these men are now conducting their businesses. Objectionable Features. A few years back, in an effort to cater to the class of trade patronizing these places, there was, it must be admitted, a certain degree of freedom and license in the atmosphere of these places. The entertainers were given to using songs that were, in many instances, suggestive of obscurity and the actions of the dancers bordered on the vulgar. Quite naturally, this sort of atmosphere was conducive to excesses and excesses were indulged in. Women entertainers were extremely careless about their attitude and actions in dancing and the men were equally as careless as to the character and nature of the songs which they sang to entertain the people. Other objectionable features developed as a result of the general air of licentiousness which pervaded these places, and it was this failure to observe the proprieties which gave rise to direct criticism and which resulted in the placing of restrictions. It must not be overlooked, however, that at the same time, saloons conducted by men without the cabaret feathers were developing what was probably a more objectionable character through manner in which they catered to the same trade, which was written about in THE AGE of May 11. Saloons were not made the investigation and supervision saloons conducted by col- all the evidence tends to show that the authorities were more critical in their supervision of children's activities than white.

ACTION BY CONGRESS NEEDED? Pertinent Questions Suggested by Recent Discussion of the Question-Plums for Officers of the State Militia in New Legislation How the Law Would Operate in the South. The recent legislation of the National Congress, increasing the standing army by the formation of new regiments and providing for calling out the militia of the various States for national defence, has given rise to many interesting questions. Some of these are discussed by a writer familiar with military subjects in the communication reproduced below: I have read with much interest the editorial entitled "Colored Soldiers" in The Age of May 18, and I have opened a long trunk of thoughts. From the quotation from the Evening Post it appears that the War Department has already taken a stance against the designation of any more Negro regiments. I wish to ask in all seriousness, does any sane intelligent man believe that in order to design any regiment or regiments for Negroes Congressional action is necessary? No set of people know better than those in the War Department that intelligent men like Mr. Willard know that all such declarations are falsehoods, pure and simple, and told for plain, but to them, unpleasant duty. For Negroes to admit such a contention would be to admit that special laws are necessary to give them employment in the Civil Service, that special laws are required for them in every instance, whatsoever. In fact, the laws would be necessary to admit that this is a "white man's" country, and that laws passed by Congress for its government have no application to us except where we were specifically mentioned. If the War Department takes this narrow stand and sticks to that law, it would like them to compel the enlistment of Negroes into the new regiments. Suppose in a threatened invasion of this, country Congress should call for a million volunteers without specifically stating that a certain party they should be the President would sit supinely by and see this country invaded without calling on the male portion of these ten million Negroes for assistance, simply because Congress did not say he should do so? No, and to accept the department would be to accept one of the basest insults that have been offered us since Fr. edom. Army officers, as a rule, believe that in the best interests of the service whites and Negroes should be placed in separate regiments, and they know that that is necessary is an executive order, and that the regiments shall be for colored men, which for white, which for Filipinos, and which for Indians, should any be designated for the latter two races. And there are white army officers on order, and that the best interests of the service to mix the races, and have no regiments for any particular race. In fact, should Negroes present themselves at recruiting offices and be rejected on account of color, I believe they would be justified in taking action, and courts to compel their enlistment. (Continued oh page two) due exposure of the female form. They have found no diminution in the volume of business done and no lessening of the figures which show a balance on the right side of the ledger. The change has attracted a better class of patrons and the general atmosphere of the cabarets has been disinfected. Whites Antagonistic to Negroes. Another fact brought out by this investigation seems to indicate that the white saloon keeper in Harlem would like to see that neighborhood rad entirely of his Negro business rivals. This is shown in many instances by his attitude toward the Negroes who patronize the Negro saloon keeper even to the extent of upraising them. Many of the race leaders, as has been referred to in this series of articles, patronize the white saloon keepers rather than the Neutrals. And every argument that the white man can adduce to show the Negro race leaders why they should not patronize the saloons conducted by men of the race is brought forth. As a matter of fact, this withdrawal of patronage from race enterprises by a large number of the most prominent men of the race is responsible for some of the things which are to be decried in the conduct of these businesses. If the elimination of what are termed objectionable features from these businesses is to be brought about, it must be through the cordial and united support of all race units. The doctors, lawyers, and other professional and business men of the race who indulge decasionally in a "murmung's nip" or an "evening's nip" could by concentrating their patronage of saloons to the places conducted by men of the race, contribute largely toward bringing about business and trade conditions which would make possible the doing away with all factors which engender criticism. And this would bring about also the possible elimination of places in Harlem conducted by what men which have been notorious contributors to the degradation and defilement of Negro men and women.

She is held in high stern in Jersey City; her home town, both white and colored, and they all feel proud of her victory, for it is the first time that a lay woman has laid claim to this position. Mrs. Randolph is a Charlestonian by birth and takes special pride in referring to her natist well as lineage. OKLAHOMA NEGROES AND THE REGISTRARS (Special to The New York Age.) OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA—Roscoe Dunjee of the Black Dispatch, in applying to Peter McCormick, registrar in the second ward of this city, for registration as a qualified voter, insisted that under the race classification he be entered simply as an "American," McCormick demurred and declared his belief that the election officers would not accept any such entry, adding to Dunjee, "I believe it will disfranchise you," Editor Dunjee insisted, however, and declared his willingness to pay the price to find out if the State of Oklahoma would disfranchise Negroes because they register as Americans. Declaring that he was acting under instructions, this same registrar McCormick asked all Negroes applying for registration the insulting question, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" Not securing results from this question, he changed later to "misdemeanor" instead of "felony." At Clearview, the registrar in one precinct just simply refused registration to all Negroes, declaring, "I'm not registering any niggers." In other cases, registration was refused to all voters who were not registered in 1914, although hundreds of young men have only attained their majority since that year, to say nothing of qualified electors who at that time were living in other States. In addition, the governor of the State, Robert L. Williams, has aided and abetted this discrimination by asserting that all who resorted to the courts for relief would be arrested. PETER B.

WILL SHOW PROGRESS OF RACE The Frederick Douglass Film Company of Jersey City, Composed of Representative Negroes, Is Engaged in Construction of 4-Reel Moving Picture, "The Winning of His First Suit." (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Jersey City, N. J.—Society folk in Jersey City, Newark, the Oranges, Elizabeth, Hackensack and other adjacent towns are all agog over the making of the four-reel photo play, "The Winning of His First Suit," which is being consumed by the Frederick Douglass Film Company; a corporation made up of some of the representative Negroes of New Jersey. The particular interest manifested by the aforementioned society folk is due to the fact that in some of the scenes of the play, seventy-five to a hundred of these people have taken part. The scenario of the photo-play calls for the showing of scenes at receptions in the homes of representatives of two classes of colored people—the one in the city and the other in the country. For these receptions the society folk were asked to volunteer and did so in large numbers. The Frederick Douglass Film Company is the result of a movement among leading Negro Jerseyites to devise a plan by which the evil effects of certain visious photo-plays might be counteracted. Instead of spending money in useless efforts in courts the men interested decided to put this money into a company which would make plays primarily intended to show the better side of Negro life. The first of these plays is the one now in course of construction. Story of the Play. Briefly, it will portray the life-story of a young man of the race, born in the country to parents burdened with poverty's load. By strenuous effort and sacrifice the boy is given an education, finally-graduating from Howard University with his law degree. During his struggle in the little rural community to build up a law practice, the young daughter of wealthy city parents, who he hopes to make his wife, is influenced by her parents to look with favor upon a young man who is deeply beloved in a sphere and prosperous in business. But the country boy comes to town and after, meeting with vicissitudes of various kinds he is enabled to render invaluable service to the girl's father, which, of course, removes all parental objections, and the country boy comes into his own. All Negro Homes. The country scenes have been taken in Virginia, on property owned by a Negro family for which the railroad station, Hyson, Va., is named. Scenes at Howard University were taken during the commencement season; and among those taking part in the scenes were President Newman and Dean Kelly, Miller. The other scenes are local to Jersey City, Orange, and other Jersey towns, and a feature of the picture will be that all the homes and properties shown are owned by Negroes. All the principal parts, save two representing certain white characters, are taken by Negro actors. Even the scenes in which the crowds are made up of whites in the play are enacted by colored people. The photography of the play is being done by camera men from the Centaur Studio, Rayonne, but the directing of the play is entirely in the hands of its author, the Rev. W. S. Smith, 274 Van Horne street, with, with Dr. George E. Cannon, 354 Pace street, both of Jersey City, form the production committee. The booking of the play will be in the hands of Mr. Smith, and the company is expecting to have it ready for production about June 15. Others of the company are Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, president, Dr. L. Lawrence at Elizabeth, vice-president, Dr. G. Cannon of Jersey City, treasurer, A. R. Mayo of Jersey City, secretary, the Rev. W. S. Smith of Jersey City, booking agent; directors, J. W. Rocerson, Wm. Summons, W. I. DePaur, J. E. Churchman and W. Carr Saratoga Spinas, N. Y.—The services incident to the ordination of the newly-elected bishops of the M. E.

Missionary Bishop Alexander Priestly Camphor, who has been elected to succeed Missionary Bishop Isaac B. Scott, retired, was presented for ordination by the Rev John W. F. Bowen and Edward M. Jones, and the consecration ceremony was performed by Bishops Stunt and Henderson and Missionary Bishops Scott and Hartrell. In the election of general officers and editors, Prof I.

Washington Day Observed in Majority of Sunday Schools in Greater New York Last Sunday and Young Folks 'Give Dimes—Women's Committee to Make Another Collection Sunday. Gov. Charles S. Whitman paid a great tribute to Dr. Booker T. Washington Thursday evening of last week during his address, delivered on the first evening of the bazaar given at Manhattan Casino in aid of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. The chief executive of the State was repeatedly cheered by an appreciative audience which listened with marked attention to the speaker's remarks. Gov. Whitman's address was generally characterized as one of the best that has been made on the life and influence of the Tuskegeean since his death. Gov. Whitman reached the Casino about 10.20 o'clock, accompanied by his military secretary, Capt. Lortillard Spencer. While the two bands—the Clet Club and E. E. Thompson's military band—played "America," he was escorted to the platform by a delegation of citizens and the audience rose en masse and enthusiastically cheered him. Dr. York Russell, vice-chairman of the Executive Committee, opened the exercises by making a short talk, introducing Dr. A. Clayton Powell chairman of the General Committee who said in part: "To tell the story of who produced Booker T. Washington, of what Booker T. Washington produced, and especially of what he made others produce, is to give the history of the colored people in America. To write the biography of our noted guest is to give the history of New York City and in a large degree of New York State in the last eight years. His life is inextricably intertwined with the mental, moral and political life of our city and State. I speak adversely when I say that no man in recent years has done so much to clarify the moral and political atmosphere of New York City as the Hon Charles S. Whitman. Had he swerved a single inch from his high purpose as district attorney or as Governor under tremendous pressure, New York to-day would have been in the hands of grafters and gamblers, thugs and thieves, and human life would not only be cheap but the virtue of women would be selling on our streets to the highest bidder. We are proud of his character and his record of achievements. "It is no small favor for the Governor to turn aside from his numerous and weighty responsibilities at Albany to address us under the auspices of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Committee. I now publicly express to His Excellency the thanks of the committee and of the audience here assembled. Permit me to say to the Governor that he has the distinction of addressing an audience without a hyphen. We are not pro-British, or pro-German, or pro-African; we are not even Afro-Americans; we are just simple, thorough-going Americans from the peeling to the core and from the core to the peeling. We do not know any flag but the Stars and Stripes, and we do not wish to know any other. We have no need any other. We and we do not want any other. We have always read, as Boston Common, Bunker Hill Fort Pillow and San Juan Heights will testify, and we now stand ready to give our blood in defense of the sacred principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence. "Without multiplying words, allow me to say that I now have the distinguished privilege, the profound pleasure and the high honor of introducing to you a man who represents the highest ideals of American citizenship, to an unulaterated, unsophisticated, unphenated American audience—the Hon. Charles S. Whitman, Governor of the State of New York." To Organize Colored Regiment. Before commencing his eulogy of Booker T. Washington, Gov. Whitman, stated he had just issued an order authorizing the organization of a colored regiment of the National Guard, having appointed three medical examiners to examine candidates for the new organization. This announcement was greeted with applause. In speaking of Booker T. Washington (Fragr. Whitman, among many other things, said "A great monument, in all justice, should be erected to Booker T. Washington, and in the building of this monument the white race should be permitted to shear for this man belonged to the Unity—torica itself. But the monument, he most deserves—the memorial he could have most loved—is not to be chiseled from marble or wrought in imperishable bronze. His memory should be immortalized in the nobler lives of the people for whom he lived and to whom he pointed the way." "The great lesson to be derived from the life of Booker Washington, according to the Governor, was that no reward could be won except by proof of merit. The finest protest against injustice, he said, lay in the continual demonstration of a race's capacity to make "noble use of opportunity." "The old dream of a Negro government in another land was a foolish dream," declared Gov. Whitman. "You are here, you are part and parcel of America, and there can be no progress in which you are not considered. The greatest monument that you can erect to Booker T. Washington is the recognition of your duties as citizens and Americans and the whole-souled fulfillment of those obligations in such a manner as not only to prove your work but to prove the wisdom of the great democratic experiment." The Governor said the race problem had as yet not been completely solved, but, if the problem had not been solved, Booker T. Washington had made clear the one true solution, by encouraging the Negro to higher self-development Among those who served on the Reception Committee to receive the Governor were Philip A. Payton, John E Prue, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Philip M. Thorne, James H Anderson, John Macon, N. B. Dodson, Dr. W. H Brooks, E. F. Horne, Hon Fred R Moore, Robert E. Keys, Deacon Johnson, J.

One of the features of the havara, the popularity contest, conducted by Mrs Laura Williamson, was won by Miss Marjorie Sipp, the popular entertainer at Haynes' Restaurant, who received 2,300 votes. Her neares, competitor was Miss Marie Lucas, leader of the orchestra at the Lafayette Theatre. Miss Sipp was awarded a Ford automobile of the latest make for winning the popularity contest. Miss Ruby Mason came second. A neat sum was realized for the fund by the ladies representing the various social clubs and churches in New York and Brooklyn, and the candy, ice cream cone and other booths presided over by well-known misses and ladies were well patronized. Booker T. Washington Day was observed in many of the Sunday schools and some of the churches of Greater New York. Members of the Women's Committee visited the various Sunday schools and told the children of the life and work of Washington Quite a goodly sum was collected by the children for the fund, and in the majority of schools all children who failed to subscribe to the fund last Sunday will do so this Sunday.

To-day's dispatches report of the militia of the three border states, Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona, recently ordered by the President into the Federal service, some 116 Texans have refused to enter the service of the Government, and there is strong talk of court-martialting them; and that two who enlisted in the Arizona contingent deserted before, entraining the States, New Mexico and Arizona, are making strenuous attempts, even by appealing to their patriotism, to get recruits so as to be able to have their one regiment, each, enrolled. Up to the present time they have failed of acceptance by the regular army, but the regiment now has the minimum required by the War Department. This reluctance, notwithstanding the alarming reports on conditions on the Mexican border, and howls for intervention from papers from this section. Prospective service such as the regulars are doing in Mexico, and are to those $2,000 at $1,00 a day, cheers, sportsmen and gentlemen of leisure. Now it was mainly by the militia fobby at Washington, and through Southern Congressmen's fear of raising Negro regiments, that the Federal Volunteer Army measure was defeated, and that such favoritism was now being used against African officers from $200 to $500 per year, and its enlisted men, also, an annual allowance. These are very desirable plums — $200 to $500 per year for a few days or a few weeks actual work—and there will soon be seen the spectacle of men falling over each other to get them down. The Army would have to Negro restrooms With Negro officers get those jobs would be out of the question, and after the experience of those militia regiments on the border with their ranks made up of newspaper men, clerks and "gentlemen" with a seven year enlistment starting in 1861, the Army would have others eager for their annual stipends will find it difficult to recruit sufficient regiments of the required strength to be accepted by the War Department. The position of commissioned officer, with its salary, is very popular; so, also, is that of enlisted man at home with a salary and fun of the real encumbrance; but now comes to real hard service we have only to remember the clamor that went to Washington after the Spanish-American war for the muster out of the volunteers in the Philippines. So, what will the would-be officers do if they cannot believe they will I believe finding that they cannot get sufficient white men to fill the ranks of enough regiments to take up all the jobs in the gift of their State, they will try to form regiments of Negroes with white officers. Anything to get their names grander than the names comes to this then. I hope the Negro newspaper will have something to say. CHAPLAIN PRICOLEAU GOES TO HONOLULU FORT HUMMETT, Arizona — Chaplain George W. Prioleau of the Tenth Cayal- ary has been transferred to the 25th Infantry, stationed at Honolulu, Hawaii Territory, and he will sail for his new post of duty on June 5. Soldiers and citizens of the post re- get to see Chaplain and Mrs. Prioleau leave, and they have been tendered a number of social courtesies in honor of the work accomplished by them with the regiment. At a recent testimonial recep- tion HI Marchbanks, Sr., a non- commissioned officer of the regiment, expressed the sentiment of his soldier conrades in the following tribute: This post has been equipped with an electric light system but we are still in darkness, so far as electric lights concern us. The electric light will be started and this post will be illuminated with electricity. Man is constructed on the same principal. We will compare him with a big electric light system like the one at the bottom of the building and his brain is the dynamic; his arteries and veins are the wires and the bones in his body represent the poles that support these wires; the buildings that the represented poles occupy in life which man is adapted to fulfil. The electricity lights the churches where the minister goes to perform his sacred duties. It lights the banks where the market goes to perform arrows in the streets given to the art of amusement where we go to enjoy ourselves. it lights our congressional halls where the laws are made, and the chambers of Justice where the law is dealt out to man with his creed of color, and places of misery with the same equal regularity. The light shines as brilliantly behind the prison walls as a light of equal power shines in places of amusement or worship in the church and not the place where it is situated. Just so, it is power that makes men All men are constructed on the same principal, but will-power, education, manhood, lightness, sobriety, manners with your fellow-man makes the difference. Men are divided into three classes: First, the men of will-power (the leaders). Second, The men of desire, who fall but can put forth the necessary efforts to win out) are the men who wish instead of demand. Third, The men of fate (those who give up all the glory of human achievement and who will never come my way). This remark is correct, it will never come, but they can be appropriated and that is what men of will-power do. Third, the second class, some of us belong to the third class, and we can deny it. Our chaplaim belongs to the first class. He is the completed electric system—the power that generates, the lights have been mounted on in his body, he is a live wire.

I wish to thank the Noble Sons of the Desert for their presence among us. I believe their work here will have an everlasting effect; here they have met a few representatives of the famous Tenth Cavalry, the best regiment in the world, and a few of the non-commissioned staff of our race, who are the representatives of the typical professional soldier. I wish to say to them as a farewell greeting: here they found me and here they will leave me. This is my mission, and I have chosen to train, have chosen the following arms as a profession and have already stayed here twenty-one years. The Government has fed me it has clothed me, housed me, and given me medicine. I have been in this country since the addition to all of this it has paid me. I have enjoyed the hospitality of the army in time of peace, and now that a cloud of war is hanging over us, I have been able to rest of my compassions to the relief of the rest of my comrades. I have but one life to lose, and, regardless of the prejudice that exists against the colored people in the United States, as a true soldier, I am willing to lose it. It is God's will, and I am willing to do it under whose protecting folds ten millions of my people are hovered. DR. WM. H. JOHNSON IN CATHOLIC HOME ALBANY, N. Y - For over forty years, Dr William Henry Johnson, of Albany, was one of the most prominent colored men in the United States, says the Catholic Chronicle. "He helped buy the freedom of Frederick Douglass; he was brought into contact with Abraham Lmco- cair; and became a firm friend of the MME. C. J.

Walker, Indianapolis address. In writing please mention this paper mantried President; he was on intimate terms with the great statesmen of the latter half of the nineteenth century. As an orator he was in great demand for many years, not only at gatherings of men of his race, but on other occasions in which Americans of all creeds and races were represented. His autobiography, written in 1900, contains letters to the author from distinguished friends and many newspaper tributes. Mr. Johnson is now 83 years of age. Naturally, he has not been so prominently before the public for the past few years, and many to whom his name was familiar may have wondered if he was still living. It will interest them to learn that Mr. Johnson has for the past few years been an inmate of the Home for the Aged, conducted by the Little Sisters of the Poor on Central avenue, this city. An interesting fact is that he is now a Catholic, and very devoted to our holy religion. Mr. Johnson is a self-educated man, a great reader, and an interesting conversationist. The following letter was written to Mrs. Mary E. MeArdle, of Sheridan avenue, this city, through whose zeal he was led to examine the doctrines of the Catholic Church. It will be found interesting and instructive, and shows how faithfully the aged convert has studied the history of the Church and particularly the part taken by members of his own race in spreading Catholic truth. It reads in part as follows: You know that I have always been proud of the historic development of the premature African race—my ancestors, but it was left for me to come this home to learn the great and hardworking men who played in the darkest Africa in help to build an Catholic Church that knows no distinction in its universality—all races are numbered among its elite. I am now making calculations from undeniable data that my race was among the first Christians. It providentially fell to the lot of an African to be one of the stars in the East and proclaimed the birth of the Christ-child at Bethlehem 1916 years ago. I feel greatly blessed in having the data at hand to cite from records of the historic church, the face that in it I am a Pontifex who have succeeded St. Peter at Rome. There have been three (6) Africans during the first five (6) centuries. "15th-St. Victor I—African martyr A. D. 311" "13rd-St. Melchlades—African—A. D. 311" "51-St. Gelastus I—African. He decreed the Canon of Scripture with which the Tridentine Canon agrees.—A. D. 492. "The number of Popes from St. Rater to Leo VIII, inclusively are 258. Of this number 82 are venerated as saints. 33 were martyred. "In the celebrated Council of Hippo in the year 393, the Church was attended by all the Bishops of Africa, at which also the great Doctor and the Archbishop of the Church, St. Augustine, was present, Possidius, in the life of St. Augustine, referring to this council of Hippo, thus writes: 'About the same time Augustine, when yet only a priest, argued about faith and creed, the presence of the Bishops of all Africa, and the presence of the Bishops of all Europe, stared by them to do so. And this he did with such praise and admiration of all, that all wished him a Bishop; and Valerius, for fear of losing him from his diocese, asked and obtained him a Bishop. And this was done by Hippo in his steed, though he was yet, alive. This was done in the year 394.'" ALABAMA'S NEGRO TOWN IS A SUCCESS 'BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — After several years struggle, against heavy odds, including local unsympathetic sentiment and gloomy predictions of failure by white people of neighboring towns, Hobson City, the only municipality in the United States, with one exception, which is wholly populated and conducted by Negroes, has won its battle by demonstrating that at is a pronounced success. When the plan to found an exclusively Negro town in the South was proposed scarcely any white people in the Annston district, where it is located, dreamed it would work out. But the Negroes were not discouraged and went ahead. New Hobson City is firmly established. New Negroes tent and government self-succeed both in a financial way and in law enforcement and observance. Back in 1900 this exclusively Negro town was started by a band of Negroes who obtained a charter and incorporated. The population shows a gain of 150 per cent. No man without employment is allowed to stay in the town. Either a job is found for him or he is required to move away. The town has four churches with a combined membership of 700, a good public schol with 250 pupils, a dozen progressive stores, waterworks, electric lights, police and sanitary departments, a well built jail, and a governing board elected every two years. "It is the only town in the State that is out of debt and has money in the treasury. More than half the citizens own their homes. Some of its residents produce within a stone's throw of the town limits from $800 to $1,500 worth of cotton and other farm products besides large quantities of vegetables and fruits. Hobson City's governing board consists of seven Councilmen, a Mayor and four other municipal officers, including a chief of police. Every resident of the town is a Negro.

He spoke fair words to the Ne- groes, but gave the race no con- sideration in his administration whatever, The man for the Re- publicans to nominate for Presi- dent should be a man of deeds’as well as words. If Colonel Theo- dote Roosevelt will affirm that he is a Republican, he should receive the support of the Negro dele- gates for the nomination.

Charman Hilles of the Repub- lican National Committee, ex- presses the opinion that the plat- form to be adopted at the Chicago Convention will be unusually brief, and deal only with the most vital questions. A forecast of the platform includes the following planks: A statemeit on Anreficanism. | A statement or preparedness “for adequate miutary, and naval defense. ‘A declaration in favor of a pro- tective tariff to be prepared by a _FO5-partisan tari’ conimission Footseated by congress with special "svattention’ to the needs of the in- a dustries of this country after the ; close of the European’ war. "+ A declaration in favor of a mier- chant marine. : A ‘statement dealing with : the alleged ‘shortcomings of _ the Democratic national administra- tion. . There was a time when the Re- publican party included in it: platform a plank which stood for human rights, a plank whict ‘stood for civil dnd __ political equality, a plank which dealt witt lawlessness against the Negro. Ii is to be hoped that the party lead ers at Chicago will not, in their effort to obtain brevity for the platform, do so by omitting this plank. If the colored delegates to the convention can be of any particular service to the race i will be in bringing influence tc bear that will place such a pledg Gn th platform. WHAT NEXT? the following Gespatch: Washington, “May 29.—.\d- dresses in eulogy of Jefferson Davis will be made in the House next Saturday by Representatives Aswell, of Louisiana, ahd Kinche- loc, of Kentucky, on the occasion of the birthday anniversary of the President of the Confederacy. Consent to make the addresses was obtained today. By this we see that official con- sent has been obtained to cele- braté the birthday of Jefferson Davis with eulogistic addresses in the House of Congress. We pause and ask, “Why be a Washington, Why be a Jackson, Why be a Lin- coln, Why be a Grant, if also thost who tried to wreck the na- tion .are to receive national honors. | By this ‘time, the entire North must-see that the present admin- istration at Washington is not Democratic, it is Southern. | It is not partisan, it is sectional: Its chief business has been to cater to backward Southern “. sentiment. Fosward looking Northern Demo- crats have, had no place in it. It has been influenced, and guided and dominated by the Ifoke Smith and’ the Vardamans, The birthday of Jefferson Davis to be ,cclebrated “in Congress? What next?” It would not sur- prise ug to hear the suggestion made that the bars bé added to the stripes in Old Glory. Truly, the South is in the’ sad- ‘dle; and pst as truly, it is riding to a fall. m a VIEWS and REVIEWS SIN AND PLEASURE. The old amusement clause in the.Book of Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church has betn again under discussion. A subcommittee of the General Conference recommended the elimina- tion of the clause which’ prohibits dancing, attending the theater and card playing, and the substitution of a clause warning members against these diversions. But the Conference rejected the proposal. Those in fayor of the change maintained that the penalty pro- vided for violation of the clause is not now efforced in any church, and that the effect upon young people will be better if this provision, whigh cannot be enforced, is withdrawn and a general warning issued that the church.does not sanction such amusements. Those op- posed to the change say that such an action would mean that the church is letting down the bars. . » We agree with those who think that the old clause should be climinated, yet we cannot see what good it will do to substitute a warning, except as a sort of concession to those who are opposed to the change.. If an absolute prohibition did not stop members from’ indulging in these diversions, a warning will have no effect. The most probable effect of entirely abolishing the clause will be to bring many people into the church, who, otherwise, might not join. | . . . NO There are a great-many good and intelligent people who believe that dancing, going to the theater and playing cards are acts which are in themselves wrong, This notion comes down from the time when sin and pleasure were considered to be one and the same thing; from the,timé when people who got any fun at all out of life were looked upon as lost; from the ‘time when, in certain re- ligious bodies, it was considered almost sinful to laugh heartily. It is not so long ago that the singing of a song which had anything about love,jn it was a'sufficient cause in’ some denominations to bring a church member to trial. j : What is sin? That is a question siich has, puzzled theologians in all ages. In‘an attempt to g:.e a definition in a few words, and entirely apart from theology, we should say that sin is that which is harmfil: An act’by which one advertently harms another or hirhself is sinful ; and the harm may be physical or spiritual ; also the act may be one of: commission or omission. Under this definition, raurder and theft’ and excess eating and excess drinking naturally fall into the category of sins; but there’ are many acts, especially thése involving spiritual harm, which are not so casily~classified It is true that'many sinful acts imrnish pleasure. There is no doubt that the murderer in his’ frenzy derives a flash of primitive pleasure in killing his enemy or adversary. The same may be said of him who takes another's goods, or of him who, eats or drinks to excess. Perhaps it is true that most sins furnish.a temporary pleas- ure of one sort or another. But it cannot be argued froni this that every act that furnishes pleasure is a sin. That, however, has been the position taken by a great many religious sects. For example, see the “Blue Laws” of Connecticut. These laws, although they may never have been statutory, nevertheless, were the standard of conduct in’ the colony, Read the following: . “No one shall run on the Sabbath day, or walk in his garden, or elsewhere, except reverently to and from meeung.” = “No woman shall kiss her-child on the Sabbath or fasting day.” “No one shall make mince pies, dance,.play cards, or play on any, instrument of music except the drum, trumpet’and jews-harp.” In reading through the last lay; quoted above, it strikes us that the greatest “musical sin” that could possibly be committed, would be to play such a combination as drum, trumpet and jews-harp. Dancing may be as innocent and beneficial as jumping rope. Going to the theatre may be as edifying as listening to a sermon. Playing cards may be as harmless as playing authors. Of course, if one cannot dance in a wholesome. fashion, or if his taste for the theatre Icads him to see only corrupting: plays, or if he cannot play éards without gambling or losing his temper, he ought to refrain from doing these things, because for him they are sinful. But that does.not make it necessary to prohibit them to the great majority of people, for whom they are harmiless diversions; two of therh, dancing and theatre going, may be made very beneficial. ° “There are many plays which are harmful; likewise, there are a great many books which no one coult read without sinning, be- ‘cause they contain that which works spiritual harm, but nobody, on that account, thinks of advocating illiteracy. * Wt will he a step forward when the progressive clement in the great Methodist Episcopal Church’succeeds in having the old amuse- ment clause eliminated from the Book of Discipline, . THOSE VALIANT TEXANS. During the past.three years in which we have been harrased by MBico, in which Americans have been murdered and despoiled both on this and on the other side of the Rio Grande, the natior has been made to look upon the fierce and feprless denizens o' Texas as hounds straining at the leash. The growls and barks that came up out of Texas seemed to mean but one thing, “Let us get at the greases!” . Somehow or other the country was reassured. It was led tc feel whatever might be our state of unpreparednéss, whatever might ‘be the shortéomings of our regular and our irregular army, what. ever might be the dare-devilishness of the “Mexicans, the American nation was safe so long as there was a Texas full of gallant Texans. Away down in their hearts, the rest of the people in the, United States have felt that if worst camie to worst, it wotild be necessary only to give these ‘Texaris pérmission and they would sweep across the border mowing down Mexicans before them like wheat before a modern, machine scythe. . : . It was all a dream. We woke up to find that we have heen putting our trust in a broken reed. , The hour of need came, Texas itself was invaded, American soldiers and Texas citizens were killed upon Texas soil, our army commanders confessed that they did not have sufficient force; and the President called out the Texas militia... . We feel that neither the President -nor the country at large would have been surprised if not only te. Texas militia, but every able‘bodied citizen in Texas between the ages of sixteen and sixty had sprung to the colbrs: But nut only the ‘able-bodied citizens, but. even the ‘militia have failed to do any noticeable amount of! spridging. .Worse.still, some of the members of the militia refuse point blank to mow down Mexicans or even to protect Texans and other Americans in the danger zong; as a result, some one hundred and sixteen officers and men Will be courtmartialed. In the meantime, out on the hot Mexican desert there are thou- sands of black men who honorably wear the uniform of the United States army, who are fighting to,protect the property and homes and lives of the citizens of ‘Texas. \What'are these Téxans who, in violation of their oath, reffse to answer the country’s call, who refuse to defend and protect the soil of their own state, what are they doing in return for the loyzilty and bravery df those who are fighting? They are burning black men at the stake. ; * When it comes to tramping across the hot sands of Mexico, and being shot at by bandits, the valor of the precious Texan does not appear to rise to the boiling point; but when it comes to a mob of several thousand seizing a Negro boy, dragging him through the street, chaining him to a Stake and burning him alive in the public square of one of their cities, the gallant Texan is Johnny-on-the-spot. THE BALLOT AS A LEVER. Iv has been argued in certain quarters that it would be good policy on the. part of the Negro in the south t@- relinquish the struggle for the exercise of the franchise and concentraté all ef- forts un moral and material im- provement of his conditions of living. But the exercise of the right to vote for local offices is inseparable from the ability to se- cure evenhanded justice in the matter of public improvements and protection of life and prop- erty under the law. At least this is the deduction warranted by scanning the editorial page of the Richmond Planet. Listen to what Editor Mitchell as to say on the subject, . 1 you wish to understand the ef- ~ fect 0%, colored folks retiring from politics, walks around in old Jack- son Ward’ and then walk over Church-hill and the Western section of this city, You will be astounded to see the difference. . : |” We would like fo know what has become of all that-money which was to be utilized in securing relief for the congested conditions in this city. There is not a strictly first class - street in the colored sections of this city, while in the white sections, even the ‘sidewalks and the public streets are Isid in conerete or Belgian blacks. . - 3 “This condition is not peculiar ta. Richmondalone. The same tale i8 told of most of thé other large southern towns’ and -cities, with the exception of a few like Raleigh, where a more liberal policy -has prevailed and the col- ored sections are given a fairer share of the public improvements The question ‘to be solved is Jhow shall the Negro ‘citizens se- cure their proper share of the ben- efits derived from the expenditure of municipal funds for improve- ments. to which they contribute their proportion of the taxes. “At a meeting recently held in Richmond, existing conditions were discussed by the officials of the Richmond Negro Welfare League and the Civic ‘League, with reference to the treatment of colored citizens in that commu- nity, The Planet opines that ap- peals made by citizens of this ‘ype are bound to have their effect. The matter of rough treatment by new policemen further compli- cates the situation. as far as Rich- mond is concerned.

HOW PROBATION WORKS. The quahty ol mercy 1s becom- ing more strongly established in legal procedure than at any time since it was made subject of ju- dicial notice in the celebrated case of Shylock vs. Antanio, in the courts of Venice. This is empha- sized by a report of Judge John F Hylan, of the Kings County Court,.on the progress and opera- tion of the probation system: Judge Hylan says that in his ex- perience on the bench, he has found that many young men have drifted away from home and church, and as a résult, have been led into the commission of crime. His belief is that the community, as well as the individual, is ben- cfited if the first mistake is over- looked, the first term in prison avoided. How this can be done and the youth given an oppor- tunity to become a useful, citizen through the probation system is clearly set forth in the report. Through this system the of- fender, if not a habitual criminal, is charged with a misdetheanor instead of a felony, and sentence is suspended upon his promise to reforin and report at regular peri- ods toca probation officer, either official or volunteer... Out of’ 205 first offenders placed on probation during the past year, 101 were dis- er ee OL OR TEAC OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION votiae Caan ee HEARS charged from probation .because of meritorious behavior in regait- ing'a respectable status. Of the remainder 88 were continued or probation-and only 16 had to be sent away. Judge Hylan sums up his report as follows:* , A plan which after only one yéar . 64 operation shows 50 per cent. of those placed on probation thor- oughly well qualified to be restored to society, another 40 per cent. well on the road to reform, and only 7 per cent. of violation of parole, as hasbeen the case in the Court over whith I have the honor to preslie, is, in my humble opinion, worthy of a greater development and should: have the undivided support of evéry xood citizen, ‘regardless of race, creed, social or political affiliations. Tam‘a firm believes, in the Volun- teer Probation System and urge all ‘good citizens tw give, the subject careful consideration and their most hearty support. ‘Truly, a good showing for jus tice tempered’ with’ merey ane worthy of wider application Judge Hylan is to be commendé¢ for his practicat application of the combination. < Get your nae On Ie a tseue cooks Show your pride in and~for-yeur, race.

John M, Gaston of the Freedmen’s Board of the Presbyterian Chureb, U. S.A, stated ‘that uo certain colored church in the South sold eight barréls of whiskey during church services on ‘Sunday and paid the minister out of the proceeds." ‘This is an amazing statement. ‘The South is almost en- Urely prohibition. - For one congresa~ ton to purchase and sell cight barrels of whiskey on the Lord's Day and hive no one Ii tho congregation prote seems incredible. ‘That, the authoriti of the law would allow Negroes to tratfic in JIquor on such a scale, 1g also contrary to the customs of the South. If these barrels each contained fifty gallons of whiskey, one congregation sold at_one service four hundred gal- lons. This, too, seems impossible. The Foverend gentleman dbubtless ‘heard this fabrication, for it ty unlikely that he was there, Dut It seems to’ us ‘that he should, exercise more care in giving publicity to such almost impossible statements.

C—The program during the week, begining with the annual sery mon un ‘Sunday, the exercises of the priniary department on Monday and duesday nights, a drama entitled, “The Novle Uuteast,” on Wednesday "night, most excellently rendered by advanced students, the graduating exercises on Thursday aiternbon, and winding up with a literary and’ musical_entertain- ment at-mght, would not suffer by any meats m comparison with similar pro- grams rendered by other schools in the State during’ commencement seasoh. ‘The crowd” that came to witness these exercises’ was tremendous. The multi- tude must have been between 5,000 and 00) people. The feature that was so pleasing, interesting, and grauiying was rie good behavior of this crowd. . When one, however, makes an inquiry and studies the conditions in, this sec- “on be will find the solution and reason Tur What he beholds. For instance, 10 Hestrerd county, and the other three counties, Betrie, Gates, and Northamp- Pic, watch wound st, according to the venous ot IYLU. there ts a colored popu- lation of 40,535. This section ts mainly agricultural, theretore the colored peo- Pie vverate farms to the number of 3,073 an these four counties, with a comt- waned acreage of 2435734. The value oi these tarm lands, ba:ldings, implements and machiner3, to the credit of the race wt the above’ mentioned counties, 15 $$,282408. This accurnulation 1s the ze- sult of zo, struggle, and selt-denial of Hits years ‘of ireedom in the midst of many’ handicaps and disavantages. In the midst of it all, however, there 3s one person to whom large credit must be given for this balance sheet. Some thirty odd years ago, the Rev. Calvin S. Brown; then a young man leaving Shaw University, a graduate, in quest of a place where he might do his people the most good, pitched his tent in this section, and planed Waters Institute. ‘The result has vecn indeed like a little Jeaven hidden ina measure of meal, leavening the whole lump of humanity into a greater and more splendid civ- lization. Dr. Brown has also shown an interest jn the welfare oi his people other than educational and spiritual For instance: In 1909, when the writer was the organizer of the National Negro Business League, he went to Winton and organized a local league. The Rev. Mr. Brown was made president. He is still its president, andNuplike most of the Teagues, it is alive and active to-day. ‘The fasmers are in the league, and by combitting and organizing they secure many advantages, such as saving thous- ands of dollars ‘yearly in buying fer- tilizers direct from the factories. Thousards d¥ dollars are saved also in other items of expense. ~ Truly Waters Institute enters into and permeates the life of the people in the community in a useful and_ salutary manner, as only, as only too few such schools in the State seldom do. 5 Cass.

Hoifman of 640 Riverside Drive, New York City, has returded from, ‘the Belgian Congo, Airica, and tells a highly exciting story to the effect that the use of 20,000 native African: as troops by the Allies makes for 2 dangerous precedent and menaces the safety of the white man in Africa in case of an uprising of the natives. “Before this.” says Hoffman, “the native African bas been taught that 3 white man’s body is inviolate, bot thi employment of natives as soldiers will teach them that the white man is not tc de feared anv more.” It_has for years been the custom oi the Belgian government to, use force and cruel torture in intimdating the native African laborers. but it is entirely prob able, according to Hoffman, that this cannot be successfully done in the fu hare, : Everything Te Gain. _Should the Negeo Fight for Ame wea" is the title of a little pampbl published ty Edward R Drner, BS.

Through an arrangement perfected by Elbridge T. Adams, president of the Music School Settlement for Colored People, 4-6 West 131st street, J. Rosamad Johnson, supervisor, an opportunity was given Miss Ethel Richardson, the young colored pianist, to play for Percy Grainger, the famous Australian composer and pianist, who is now in this country. Miss Richardson played in the Art Room at Steinway Hall, East 14th street, on Thursday afternoon, May 25th. After she had played McDowell's "To a Wild Rose" and "Autumn", Mr. Grainger specially requested her to play the Tschalkowsky concerto, which she did, Mr. Grainger playing the orchestral score on a second piano. Afterwards she played Debussy's Toccata. Barring a little nervousness in her first number, Miss Richardson played with excellent taste. So favorably impressed was the foreign artist that he voluntarily offered to coach her during the summer vacation and also fold her she would be given opportunity to study his concert programs in the fall. Miss Richardson will undoubtedly take advantage of the opportunity. It will mean a great broadening of her musical scope aside from the purely technical benefit to be secured. Incidentally it might be noted that the instrument on which Miss Richardson played was an Art Style Steinway grand, valued at $2640. Musical artists from New York were conspicuous factors in the success of the May Musical Festival held at Hampton Institute recently. Miss Helen Elise Smith, pianist, and Mrs. Daisy Tapley, contralto, were two of the principals taking part in the festival, which was under the auspices of the Institute and the Hampton Choral Union, R. Nathaniel Dett, director. The festival was opened by a concert in which students' choruses were featured. The Artists' Concert was scheduled for the second night, and in addition to the New York musicians there were programmed Mrs. Florence Talbert, soprano, George G. Garner, Jr, tenor, and Paige L. Lancaster, baritone. The program, in two parts, included a group of numbers by the individual artists, followed by Cowen's cantata, "The Rose Maiden." In the first part Miss Smith played five numbers, including Beethoven's sonata, op. 26, a Chopin waltz and mazurkia, Vogrich's Staccato Caprice, Lost's Rakoczy March and a suite by R. Nathaniel Dett, "In the Bottoms," embracing Night, Honey, Morning and a Juba dance. Mrs. Tapley sang one group of songs, including "Demain," by Tosti, "The Sleep that Flits on Baby's Eyes," by Carpenter, and Burleigh's magnificent new song, "The Gray Wolf." A chorus of nearly a thousand voices sang, "The Rose Maiden," with Miss Smith at the piano, the white orchestra from the National Soldiers' Home of Hampton and the four visiting soloists. A note from New Haven brings the information that the first combination recital by a violinist's pupils and a boy scout orchestra, all of the Negro race, ever given in that city will occur tonight in the Odd Fellows hall. The pupils of Noble Ross, teacher of the violin, and the orchestra from Troop No. 24, directed by Mr Ross, will unite in this concert. --- One of the oldest musical organizations among Negroes in the United States is the Amphison Glee Club of Washington. J. Henry Lewis has been its director for probably a quarter-century, and under his baton the club has done some notable work. The latest effort of the club was a recital at Alexandria, Va., given in the Parish Hall of Christ Church, to which church belonged George Washington and his family. This auditorium was secured through the efforts of a local committee headed by J. W. Lumpkins. The hall is rarely let to outsiders. On this occasion it was filled with an audience composed of the leading citizens of Alexandria, colored and white. The club was assisted by Mme. Eleanor Lee Williams, reader, and the solos were C. A. Barbour and F. D. Desalegn Songs by Will Manson Cook and F. B. Williams were features of the program. Syracuse, N. Y.—Mrs. Frank Harris Hiscock gave an informal musical at her home in James street hill on Thursday evening for Lyndon Caldwell, a young colored musical student of the Syracuse University. Caldwell, who is a native of Greensboro, N. C. is a protege of the hostess and shows considerable talent. He is a pupil of Dean George A. Parker on the organ, and of Prof Harry Leonard Vibbard in piano work, and his playing shows a fine musical understanding and god execution. Young Caldwell will graduate this June, and at the sorcerie will play a concerto with full orchestral accompaniment as his graduation work. Mrs. Hiscock invited about 30 friends to enjoy the music. The program was delightfully informal. Plantation inclodies and folk songs, arranged by the young musician, alternated with Chopin, Schumann and other classic numbers.

This wonderful picture drama, produced at an enormous expense, and endorsed by every great American citizen in favor of preparedness, will no doubt prove a drawing card for the Lincoln. Not only that, but a regular feature photoplayls, a Burke has booked for three days commemorating Friday, June 23, the latest photoplay hit, direct from the Globe theatre, "Where Are My Children?"

J. Rosomond Johnson made a few remarks in which he spoke in nigra terms of which Curtia Owens, for the energy and enthusiasm she had put into these dances and the success that she had achieved. So numerous have been the requests that the class continue its activities throughout the summer months that the committee has prevailed upon Miss Owens to resume her duties.

WHITE ACTORS IN PLAY ABOUT NEGROES While the stock companies at the two theatres conducted for Negro patronage have been presenting plays in which the parts taken by Negroes represented white characters, announcement is made by the metropolitan press that William Harris, Jr., the theatrical promoter, has accepted a play written by Laurence Eyre in which all of the characters are to represent Negroes and the play is to be acted by white actors and while actresses. The play is unnamed as yet, but it is stated that it will not present any phase of the race problem. It will be a portrayal of the geniol comedy of Negro life, according to the announcement.

Before a very large crowd Eddie Dorsey of, Northampton, Mass, outpointed Young Hicks of Orange, N. J. In meeting Hicks, the Northampton boy conceded at least 14 pounds, but he did not mund that and continually beat Hicks to the ropes. At the end of the ten rounds Dorsey was winner by a large margin. In the first six-round Bearcat Spencer was disqualified by the referee for fouling Young McVey. Young Peter Jackson knocked out Kid Campbell in four rounds in the last bout of the evening. At the Vanderbilt A. C. on next Monday night the star bout of the evening will bring together Leo Johnson, colored lightweight champion of the world, and Young Hicks, colored welterweight champion of the world. There will also be two six-round and three four-round bouts. Battling Tony, the champion lightweight of Porto Rio, has been fighting around New York for about a year. In that time he has fought forty battles and he has about twelve knockouts to his credit. He has met some of the best boys in his class, Wee Wee Barton, George Barden, Kid Ki Ko, Frankie Davis, Sandy Taylor, Young Walcott. Tony is now matched to meet Mark Spencer at Harlem Sporting Club at one of their shows to be held soon. Tony is training faithfully to get in shape and has assured his friends that he will make Spencer step to win. Tony is open to meet any boy at 130 pounds, and his manager is trying to arrange a match with Leo Johnson, colored lightweight champion of the world, in the near future.

Parker has sufficiently recovered from the operation she underwent at St. Agnes Hospital to return to her home, 311 Heck street, this city. C. T. Lee, the hustling caterer at 315 South Blount street, is receiving a goodly share of the patronage of his people as well as from the white people. Many of his patrons take advantage of the Negro newspapers he keeps there for the accommodation of his patrons. A progressive Negro is he who keeps in touch with the doings of his race through the channel of Negro newspapers. He buys the paper regularly, reads it and in-wardly digests it. The best of it all, he urges his friends to do likewise. Dr. C. F. Meserve and his family left the city last Saturday en route for their summer home in Maine. Miss Mary Holt, Miss L. H.

By 9 a.m the Sunday school annex to the church was filled with invited guests and church members. Promptly at 9:30 the Rev. Mr. Fairly called everybody's attention to the object of this feast. He said: "The female membership of this church is solely responsible for your entertainment to-might. How well they succeed will remain for you to say after you have partaken of the spread which they have prepared for you. They have worked hard to accomplish this event. A plenty has been provided for you, and we want you to feel welcome." After a few welcome remarks from Mrs. Fairly she led the guests into the school room and seated them at tables laden with toothsome viands good enough to set before "the queen." Mrs. Lucele Hunter, a gifted elocutionist, recited two of Dumbar's productions. The guests before retiring voted the membership of Davis Street Presbyterian Church an abundance of good wishes for the success of the work they are endeavoring to do in this community. The Rev. L.

The long drought has been broken and the farmers are now feeling cheerful. Copious showers of rain fell in this part of the State last week, which ended a drought of more than six weeks' duration. Quite frequently the writer receives letters from people in different parts of our country asking for information which requires an answer. We never find a self-addressed, stamped envelope enclosed with the letter of inquiry. This important item is always overlooked, and the result is no answer is forthcoming. The expense of answering a letter amounts to about five cents, and few editors or newspaper correspondents can afford to make this outlay as often as called upon. To insure an answer to any matter that you are interested in, when writing for it be sure, to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. As a general thing our people fail to differentiate between the function of a white newspaper and a Negro newspaper. The writer is often called upon to explain why a white newspaper publishes certain matters without charge to the party presenting the matter. Answering this, we say: When a sufficient number of Negroes buy and read Negro newspapers in proportion as white people buy and read newspapers, we can and will publish all such news. We are unable to compete with white men's newspapers because of the small number of educated Negroes who buy and read Negro newspapers.

Here this city for many years a Negro conducted a neat, well-regulated restaurant for the accommodation of Negroes. A few weeks ago a Negro opened a restaurant next door to this city and to my surprise and chagrin Negroes pass by the colored man's restaurant and enter the Greek's place for meals, inspecting the two places, we find that the Negro place is by far the clutter, the waiters are more polite and the quantity of food surpasses that of the Greeks, and still Negroes want to be served by this Greek in preference to a Negro. Will someone explain this dissonantry of the Negro? ROCKY MOUNT N G ROCKY MOUNT, N. C. Rocky Mount, N. C.-Mrs. Frances Tillery died in the hospital last Saturday at Raleigh, where she was carried for an operation. The funeral was preached by the Rev. C. F. Spencer. Interment in Unity Cemetery. The respect and sincere, regard that the white people of the South have for the Negro of the South, could not be more clearly demonstrated than on this occasion. Mrs and Mrs F. S. Sprulll, one of the noted lawyers of the State, living on Falk Road, sent their automobiles and carriages to be at the disposal of the family, while they both walked and attended the funeral. The tears shed there by Mr. and Mrs. Sprulll speak louder than words. 'Gifts of money are great when we are in need of things material, and sincere tears over a colored mother, men and women like Mr. and Mrs. F. Sprulll are much greater. I believe she speak for the race when I say that they are more highly appreciated. It also acts as an assurance to the race, us, the South especially that in the heart of the best white people there is not only sympathy for us, but the highest respect and regard. Remember things to get the sympathy, respect and regard that were accorded Mrs. Tillery and family we must live the life that we lived.
