SOUTHERN SCHOOL GROWS RAPIDLY College Near Baton Rouge. La., Is Well Managed. SUPPORTED BY THE STATE. Greater Opportunity For Advancement Afforded Our Youth at Agricultural and Mechanical State University by Its Removal to Rural Community. Baton Rogue, La.-All through the south young people are taking advantage of the opportunities offered them to get an education, and every year bright young men and women are being turned out from the various schools of the country. Not only are the private schools well attended, but the state schools as well. The state of Louisiana is now reorganizing Southern university and A. and M. college, a state school for colored people, with opportunities equal to those of any other state. This institution was first located in New Orleans, where it stood for about thirty-four years, administering largely to the needs of the people of that city. The legislature felt that the school was not serving its greatest purpose. Therefore a bill was passed two years ago moving the school from New Orleans to a country site five PROFESSOR J. S. CLARK. miles north of Baton Rouge. Ten months ago this institution threw open its doors for the reception of students. At that time the school was opened in temporary buildings, and the classrooms, workshops and even dormitories were nothing more than plantation houses. But these houses have given way to several splendid brick buildings, completed in modern style and well furnished. The Administration building, a three story brick, was erected at a cost of $25,000. This is one of the most modern school buildings in the state of Louisiana. The institution has its own power plant and its own artesian well. Eight buildings, including the president's home, temporary dining hall, shops and others, have been erected or renovated in the past ten months. The institution had 252 pupils the past term. The courses of study are college, teachers' training, commercial, including printing, domestic art, domestic science; blacksmithing, including horsehoeing and wheelwrighting; carpentry, including tinsmithing, brick masonry, broom and mattress making; agriculture, including dairying and stock raising. Professor J. S. Clark, who stands at the head of this institution, is one of the sons of Louisiana and is considered one of the best trained men as well as one of the best school managers in the state. He is a close observer, quick thinker and exact in business. He knows how to deal with the school's situation. He is the first member of our race elected to the presidency of this school. He has done more in the way of building up a great institution for Louisiana, interesting the white friends to give money, than any of his predecessors. Notwithstanding the appropriation for the institution last year was only $35,000. President Clark has rightly maneuvered and honestly talked to his board, the governor and the state superintendent so that these people have seen the necessity of supplementing this sum so as to make for Louisiana a threefold yield to the legislature's appropriation. He stands well among the people of his state, and there is no colored man in all Louisiana who is more highly respected than the president of Southern university. He is reliable in every way. Perhaps this is the secret of the rapid growth of Southern university. Professor Clark pays his teachers for every month in the year. Well known all over the country as he is and recognized by all school men, he is determined to make Southern university one of the best state schools for colored people in the south. He is a man that can stand up and do the right, not only because he is well trained, clean and upright in his character, but he has managed to so live and conduct himself that he has some of the world's goods to his credit. He may be considered from an intellectual, moral and financial point to be the right man to head a great institution like Southern university is destined to be. Park Street, Alameda. MME. HAESE.

E. church, St. Louis, has returned to his home after a most interesting trip to New York and other large cities of the east. While in New York Dr. Brooks was kept very busy with matters pertaining to the International Order of Mystic Shriners, which held its annual session in New York the early part of August. He is a member of the order and shows great interest in its work. Dr. Brooks also attended to much important business connected with his denomination and his church. From New York he went to Washington, where he was also warmly received and kept busy. He is one of the most prominent of the many able young ministers of the African Methodist church. His rise and success in the ministry have been almost phenomenal. He is well educated, eloquent and gifted as a preacher, and if one is to judge from his past record it is safe to predict for him the highest honor in the gift of his denomination in the near future. He is a man of courage, fine common sense and energetic to a degree. Dr. Brooks is not only scholarly, but a trained writer. He has traveled extensively in the Holy Land and has put the results of his travel and study in writing. His new book, entitled "Footprints of a Black Man In the Holy Land," has recently come from the press. Dr. Brooks is not only interested in the immediate work of his church and denomination, but in all good movements for the good of the race. He is also much interested in the young people and believes in giving them a chance to be trained along both religious and secular lines. His friends throughout the country are watching his progress with keen interest. GREATER NEW YORK CHURCH UNION CONDEMNS LYNCHING Murder of Will Stanley Arouses Influential Religious Organization. New York.—Ministers of fifteen churches, members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, at its regular meeting for August, adopted the following resolutions condemning mob rule in the south and with special reference to the recent lynching of Will Stanley at Temple, Tex. The resolutions follow; Whereas, We have observed from the columns of the New York daily papers another unlawful, inhuman and fliendish crime committed by the white citizens composed of men, women and children in the city, and by the unlawful taking away from the officers of the law, as prisoner, a colored man by the name of Will Stanley, charged with the murder of the three Grimes children, thereby defeating the ends of the court of justice, and thus taking of human life in the most savage way known, thereby robbing the prisoner of all the civil rights decreed to him under the constitution of this country; and Whereas, We believe that this and other similar, unlawful and inhuman acts of any people are steps backward in the development of human civilization in this are and country; and Whereas, We as law abiding citizens positively and unreservedly condemn crime of whatever nature by whomsoever it is committed, we are pained with regret to say that we have never colored, and while in years gone by we have looked to our white friends who professed superiority for higher ideals in society and religion, we are pained with regret to say that we now conclude "our only hope is in God" when we note such unpleasant happenings as this which blot our civilization and places our Christianity into ill repute or other that it is our bounded duty to trust and protect the government, to which we have proved our loyalty and trust, and to every battlefield and in every war. Not only that, but in every class of service we have been called upon to render from the time our forefathers landed here unnow, and we have been treated and protected like ours citizens. We believe confidently that the majority of the people of this country are willing to accord to us those rights guaranteed to us by the constitution, and that all we ask and all we want: Therefore, Be it resolved, that we, as members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, pastor of fifteen regiment, act in unanimously agree to petition to the chief executive of the nation. Hon. President of the United States, in whose generous, unbiased and impartial judgment we believe and in whose Christian principles we have faith, asking that he will use his intercession to help less colored people who are at the mercy of just that class of people who unlawfully took from the officers Will Stanley, who was burned and shot to death in the Temple.

J., Serves In Many Good Movements For Racial and Denominational Advancement-Graduate of the Old Richmond (Va.) Institute. BY GEORGE F. KING. Camden, N. J.—For several years the church life among our people in this city has become very effective. The economic life of the people has also been made much better. That the church is stimulating the young people to strive for the things that will make them useful citizens, especially in this section, is more pronounced than ever before. Despite the request of the better element of both races in Morristown, N. J., after vitally stamping his impress for good upon the populace of that place by many years of exceptional service and erecting a handsome church, the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D., Ph. D., came to Camden a few years ago to take charge of the First Baptist church. This bundle of energy got into the movements to better conditions in Camden, and today he has so rehabilitated the affairs of his new church that it is in the front rank of churches in New Jersey. Not only is Dr. Morris foremost in the ministerial ranks locally, but he is the leader of the Baptist forces of New Jersey. Since 1902 he has been president of the Baptist state convention, and for REV. GEORGE E. MORRIS, PH. D. ten years he has served as vice president of the national Baptist convention from this state. Dr. Morris was born in Richmond, Va. During his early years he had to assist in supporting his widowed mother. After attending night school for two years and becoming converted and desiring to prepare himself for efficient work for humanity in general he entered the Richmond Institute and Theological seminary (now the Virginia Union university) and continued at this well known institution until his graduation for the Christian ministry. He had the reputation of being one of the best Hebrew and Greek students attending the university and won many honors. He was licensed to preach in 1888 and afterward accepted a call from the Calvary Baptist church, Morrstown, N. J. His success in Morrstown gave him great influence among the people. It is conceded that he is among the ablest pulteers and pastors of his denomination. Some years ago he wrote a sermon for the National Baptist Magazine on the subject "God Man," which was declared by the theologians to be one of the most scholarly sermons produced by any minister of the denomination known at the time. Through the indefatigable efforts of this modest and genial leader, who has every qualification of a leader by sticking to his followers, New Jersey has taken first place, according to numbers, in the denomination with which he is so eminently connected. His annual addresses before his state convention are pronounced potent factors in shaping the activities of the Baptist churches of the state and from a literary viewpoint have been termed "gems" and highly instructive. That he is highly esteemed by both races is fully attested by his connection with varied movements among both races. He has served as a member of the board of the New Jersey state Baptist convention, and the leaders of this body often seek his advice regarding efforts for the furtherance of home missions. Dr. Morris is also a strong influence in the great work of the New England Baptist convention. The ambitions young Afro-American who is striving along the right lines to become a wholesome influence in every phase of righteous activities finds a stanch supporter in Dr. Morris and his most amable and cultured wife. Mrs. Morris is a native of Richmond, Va., and is the daughter of Rev. George E. Johnson. Industrial and business pursuits are among the vocations which Dr. and Mrs. Morris are strongly advocating for our young people. DR.

A Business League is a very much needed organization in every city where there is any percentage of the population of the Negro race. Such an organization is needed to teach Negroes to unite, to teach Negroes the value of cooperation, to teach Negto housewives to buy their groceries and sundries from the colored grocery store on the corner. Although the flour may be 5 per cent higher, you are more than repaid to have a Negro driver deliver it and probably making a job for a Negro girl as clerk or stenographer. Negroes must be taught that the insurance on their property. can be placed through colored agents as cheaply and as safe as a white agent, Negroes must be taught that they can stay out of a white restaurant, except in a very few cities and out of the way places, just as easy as they can and do shun a white barber shop. “Negroes must be taught to admire shops kept and run by Negroes. Negroes must be taught to think before they buy and ask if there are any Negro places of business that they might look them over and see if it is possible to leave a few dimes or dollars with the race. Negroes must be taught to know that when they build up a Negro enterprise they ate creating positions for their sons and daughters. ‘The Negro Business League should teach Negro preachers the value of reciprocity; that is, that as,a rule colored preachers will tuse a Negro or race journal to prop up their case and give publicity to their notices, but very few of them ever take time during their services. to advise their flock to sustain race journals and build up their own, ‘They should be taught that it is no more out of place to tell their flock to patronize a Negro store, shop or place of business run by a colored man than it is to desecrate their pulpits with vulgar songs and telling funny stories and the like. As a rule, our people listen to what the preacher and the church says, but we know of a few Negro ministers that have, not learned what reci- procity is and what their duty is with regard to colored business men and women, Still, the blame lies largely with the individual Negro, who in some cases is so deceitful and hypocritical when it comes to placing any business in the hands of a Negro business man, Every Negro church in the bay cities should be insured by a Negro agent and this could be done. Every Negro church should buy its furniture from a Negro merchant. We know of a Negro church not a hundred miles away from the city of Oakland that promised to buy a lot of new carpet through a Negro firm, but Some mule head darky on the board thought that the white man must have a chance in that’ carpet purchase and must have side- tracked their plans, as the carpet was bought and nothing said te the Negro dealer. Now, if our churches, our pastors and our church officers do this kind of thing, when they call for money, which they sometimes do, will they expect the Negro merchant that did nov get the carpet contract, to donate, or will they find that white man in their midst every Sunday putting coin in the collection box? The answer is plain. Now these Negro leaders must be taught consist- ency and common sense. ‘There was no good reason why this par ticular church could not have purchased the carpet from the Negro store or through him and they know it. We need a Negro Business League to help secure employment for our girls that are qualifying themselves to do office work, Why should they not have a chance Why should we not begin to make positions for them? A few weeks ago in one of our big cities a Negro contractor was turned down and the job given to his white competitor to build a Negro church because the coldred contractor was a few dollars higher. Just think what folly. Great guns of wonder, is not that inconsistency? Yes we need the Business League. Dear Readers: T have been asked to give my im- pression of the concert given at Ham- iton Auditorium August 26th, Bu hefore | proceed I wish to state that I had the article corrected that was published in the Oakland Tribune, Stating that the chef and waiter who had a duel in a dining car were col- cored. The paper published the cor- rected statement. It appeared the hext day almost under my news art: icle of the concert given on the even: ing before. ‘There were but two thoughts in th minds of every colored person wh attended the concert. First, that they were to watch the directing of one of the greatest choruses of colored peo- ple “ever assembled in Alamed county. The second thought—the singer: were members of the community around the bay cities, The object of the concert ywas to change _ publi opinion front the damaging effect of the Clansman, In order to do this the director of this chorus lad been brought from the great state of Mis. sotri, and is considered the best 0 the race. The great audience was not disap: pointed, The singing was marvelou: and creditable, and as I sat watching the earnest, graceful and soulful di- recting of "Prof. Jackson, I Hudied how the power of expression was de- veloped in the singers by cach suc- cessive song until at the last their fespiration, phrasing and self confi dence was so full that when they sang the Hallelujah it was like the voices of a multitude of birds after a calm following a great thunder storm. I was proud of our singers. Do you know that it is an actual fact that lots of people of our race Know very little about our writers? Some one remarked to me, why should he speak of them, for these writers had never been slaves, and we wished to forget slavery. ‘Ah, these remarks made me very sad, because the folklore songs are hot’ ragtime ditties but the heartaches and sorrows of an oppressed soul. ‘Their songs were dictated by the heart. It is this that makes the white people say that negro singers have a warmth and sweetness that a white singer can never acquire.- And why it is, because the heart aches and groanings of the songs that poured Out from the hearts of these slave mothers and fathers have left their stamp of sorrow in the voice of the present day negro singers and it will take many years to erase it. Then to think that these colored composers won prizes in competition with white song writers and even in their prize songs they did not forget that at some time their ancestors were slaves.

It wo bad nov a thy Negroes with the courage and miinood of those men and fewer Judases to betray them, as each of these were, the great battle for manhood rights which we are now waging against the forces of evil and error would soon be won. | Pauline Carrington Bowie, in ber book “Their Shadows Before,” deals with the Turner insurrection in South- ampton county in a most engaging and interesting manner. ‘Turner 1s shown to have been a man of wonderful genlus for organization and possessed a magnetic influence over his foliow- ers. He was far above the average of his race, for he could read and write and understood something of chemts- try, He was not the kind of man to be a slave, for men of his mental grasp could not long endure the galling chains of slavery. ‘Turner seemed to be able to see the end from the besin- ning. And whenever he spoke of the wrongs of his race men shuddered while professing to seout at his “fa- natical utterances.” ‘A Mr. Mortiner, a northern man, who visited Nat ‘Turner in jall ou the morn. ing of the day of his execution, said to him, “Don’t you see now that you were Wrong, that what you thought was your mission was a failure?” Quick as a fas Turner’ answered:| “Was Jesus’ clfort a failure? They ce eee ee lived on and was accomplished after him," said Mr. Mortimer. Rising to his fall height, Turner replied: “And mine fg Just begun. I sey to you what was ‘begun in blood shall be accomplished by blood.” ‘hs closing scene in the life of this remarkable Negro tx thus deseribed by an eyewitness: “We were directly op- posite the seaffold, which hitherto had been out of our Fringe of vision. Fas ‘elnated with the horror of this sight, ‘T gazed fixedly at the instrument of death as motionless as a statue. ‘There Was a stir at its base, and in an in- stant Nat Turner, followed by Mr. Lawson, quickly mounted the few steps. to the platform and with a command. ing gesture faced the multitude. ‘Mas- ters, may 1 speak? ‘Gag him!’ called a bratal voice from the crowd. But the sheriff called for ‘silence. ‘The shouts and Jeers died into a hush, and the loud, clear volce continued: “What ts done this day will ffot alter what will come to pass, ‘That which I was sent to do I have doze, but the end is not yet. ‘Three times ten years shall come to pass before de- liverance shall be. In a vision of the future the Lord has shown me, Na- thante! hjs prophet, a freed nation and a-river of blood, White men, there shall arise one of your race in a fur land, and blood shall be shed, and the bonds shall be broken. 1 have done my work. What the Lord beging he shall surely finish. 1 saw battles, fire, blood, freedom.'” ‘Turner's prophecy that “three times ten years shall come to pass before de- liverance shall be" was fulfilled almost }to the letter. He was executed tn 1831 or 1883, and in 1803 deliverance did come to bis race. So that his vi- sion of a freed nation and a river of blood, of battles, fire and freedom ts now a part of the contemporaneous his- tory of America, His prophetle words, “White men, there shall arise one of your race in a far land and blood shall be shed and the bonds shall be broken,” show him to have been wiser and keen- er of vision than the rabble that erled “Gag him!” For one of thelr race did arise in far land, who In the words of the He- brew prophet, “Loosed the bond of the captive and let the oppressed go free” after a river of blood had been shed on the battlefields of the nation, whose own life went out in blood at the hands of a cowardly assassin, and the deep damnation of his taking off set the world in tears, Nat Turner was no fanatic; he was a seer, and, lke old John Brown 6f Osawattomle, the eyes of his understanding were full orbed. He suffered martyrdom for the cause ‘of freedom and died as only martyrs ‘ean die In the cause of liberty and righteousness. ‘The time will come ‘when the names of John Brown and Nat Turner will be among the most 1 lustrous tn American histgry. Poster. ‘ty will accord them a place tn the temple of fame-among the immortals ‘who were not born to die, | CARNATION CASH GROCERY. ‘Mr. « pringer, who is now located in the Bacon Block, Oskland, in the real estate Lusiness, is a man that comes well recommended and one that Js not only @ credit to his race but the whole buman race as well is an gua ‘will go. doubt have en fency to make'the business in which he is engaged a success.

There is much logic in the article of Mr. Samuel Williams of Windsor, Vt., with reference to the attitude of the Georgia legislature toward white teachers in schools for colored people. Mr. Williams says: I learned through the newspapers recently that a measure had been passed, by one branch of the legislature of the state of Georgia barring white teachers from colored schools. For the honor of that state, the nation and the constitution it is to be hoped it will fail to become a law, as it certainly could not be classed as constructive legislation such as the age and the times demand. After the civil war, when things became somewhat settled, many white ladies in the south, being relied in circumstances, entered schools that had been established for colored children as teachers. Some had been large slave owners, and their object was not purely mercenary. They desired to repair in part the damage done by the cruel system of which they had formed a part. They began their abors, it is true, with no very high opinion of the mental capacity of the Negro, but soon learned to love their work, and in many instances showed tender solicitude for those under their care, visited them in sickness and personally sought the tardy and delinquent. During my later school years it was my good fortune to have as teachers three ladies of the class to which I refer, and when I was about to leave school it was one of these who grasped my hand and bade me godsped. While I remember with deepest gratitude the gift I had received in my earlier years from that noble band of men and women of the north who came down to the south, braving abuse from the rabble and ostracism from the thoughtless people of that section, I am glad to offer my humble testimony to the zeal and devotion of those southern white women. Their mantle may have fallen on others who today even in the state of Georgia may be laboring side by side with the good men and women from the north who are successfully striving to prepare the Negro more fully to discharge the high responsibilities of American citizenship. Soon this nation may be called upon as the champion of liberty to make good our claim by representing to the world a bold and undidified front, but how shall we do so while 10,000,000 of loyal citizens are ruthlessly and continually discriminated against? What we need at this time as never before are such measures as tend to harmonize the various elements that enter into the development of that liberty of which Lincon spoke at Gettysburg. GOOD WORK OF THE LINCOLN SETTLEMENT FOR CHILDREN Worthy Brooklyn Institution Succeeds, Though In Need of Funds. The management of the Lincoln settlement on Fleet place, Brooklyn, is very much encouraged over the playground facilities for the children of the neighborhood. The grounds were inspected recently at a public function held at the settlement and were pronounced by expert social workers to be up to the mark to both management and equipment. The institution has had a hard struggle for the past five years. The immediate friends of the settlement have been loyal to it and have given liberally of their time and money for its maintenance. About eighteen months ago an appoint to the public was made for funds with which to carry on the work. The response was quite generous. Through the efforts and influence of the officials a sufficient sum was raised to put the building in first class condition, making more room and better facilities for taking care of the large number of children. The building is under the direct supervision of Dr. V. Morton-Jones, a well known and capable physician and social worker. Mrs. Jones has created great interest in the work and won many friends to its support. She is assisted by other competent women in looking after the various details in connection with the day nursery, games, etc. Funds, however, are needed, and the public of Brooklyn and any other cities is asked to aid in this worthy work for the little ones of our race. The white people have been very generous toward the institution from its inspection. The building is located at 105 Fleet place. The officers of the Lincoln settlement are: Miss Mary White Ovington, president; Dr. Henry Neumann, first vice president; Dr. William M. Brundage, second vice president; Mr. W. D. C.

In discussing the matter of white teachers in schools for colored people at the south the New York Evening Post wisely says: "Both races will profit by the close relationship, and no one will profit more than the white people of the south, for to them the Negro question is much more important than it is to the northerner. At the same time it is a national problem, and if Georgia writes this law on her statute books she will offend not only herself, but the whole country, by taking a step toward the complication and not toward the solution of the problem."
