The Pioneer Press. "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." How Cong. Washburn OF MASSACHUSETTS TURNED THE TABLES ON "SUNSET" COX OF OHIO. It was in the month of February 1864. The House of Representatives at Washington had under consideration House bill No. 51, to establish a Bureau of Freedmen's Affairs, which had been reported from the Select Committee on the subject, and on which the gentleman from Ohio, was entitled to the floor. In those days as in these, every measure affecting the rights, or tending in any way to benefit the Negro had its champions and its opponents. We are practically fighting the same bitter prejudice to the Negro that white men fought for us when we were less able to fight for ourselves—analyze the recent vote on the Bennett resolution in re disfranchisement. But there are not so many white men fighting for us nor with us as there were in the sixties. A great many of them have got "cold feet." And "there's a reason." Sunset Cox then of Ohio, later of New York, was a little sawed off, and hammered down specimen of a statesman, who had made the mistake of allying himself with the democratic party. He was a wit of no mean order, and was brilliant in debate. Well, Sunset Cox saw in this bill his opportunity to stir up the animals, and he embraced it by vigorously attacking it, giving reason for his opposition to it which were more or less plausible, if not altogether convincing. Mr. Cox took advantage of his opportunity to discuss at some length the question of miscegenation, which at that time was one of the burning questions of the hour, its twin sister was:—"Do you want your daughter to marry a nigger?" With great gusto he quoted numerous authorities who had written pro and con on this subject, among them Parker Pillsbury, Lucretia Mott, Albert Brisbain, William Wells Brown Dr. McCune Smith, Angelina Grimke, Theodore Weld, Horace Greely and an editorial from the Anglo African Magazine. In summing up the witty Ohioan charged the Republican party with having a desire to force Negro social equality, etc. etc, etc ad nauseum, and wound up by making the usual cowardly appeal to race prejudice, picturing in eloquent phrase what to his mind would be the ultimate fate of the dominant race if the bars were let down so that the Negro could step over and graze in its pastures. After thus delivering himself he sat down, amid thunderous applause from the Democratic side of the House, and received the congratulations of many distinguished southern members who appeared to regard him as "a second Daniel come to judgment." Mr. Cole of California obtained the floor. Mr. Washburne of Illinois: I hope the gentleman from California will yield to me a moment. Mr. Cole: Certainly. Mr. Washburne; I wish to make an excuse for the author of the pamphlet from which the gentleman from Ohio has read such copious extracts. I think the author has been corrupt- ESTABLISHED 1882. Department of Archives, Charleston, W. Va. he ERE SHALL THE PRESS, 2. MARTINSBU BALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. ed by my friend from Ohio. I think he must have been reading a book which the gentleman from Ohio has written, which I now hold in my hands, and which I have read with great pleasure. The gentleman from Ohio, said that he had heretofore answered this book in the House and that I heard his speech. I always liked to hear the speech he made to day. (laughter) I have listened to it several times (laughter) We shall not probably have the pleasure at next Congress of hearing my friend from Ohio rehearse this speech here because I think in the light of the recent election in Ohio, and particularly in the district of the honorable gentleman, I can say to him in the language of Watts, "You living men come view the ground Where you must shortly lie." I desire to show the House what the gentleman has written in regard to the African in a book called "A Buckeye Abroad or Wanderings in Europe and the Orient" by S. S. Cox. He is describing St. Peters and says: In the meantime seraphic music from the Pope's select choir, ravishes the ear, while the incense titiciates the nose. Soon there arises in the chamber of theatrical glitter"—what?—"a plain unquestioned African" (laughter) and he utters the sermon in facile Latinity. With graceful manner, his dark hands gestured harmoniously with the round periods, and his sweet visage beamed with a high order of intelligence"—what was he? Let the gentleman from Ohio answer—"He was an Abyssinian." What a commentary was here upon American prejudice! The head of the Catholic Church surrounded by the ripest scholars of the age listening to the eloquence"—of whom?—"of the despised Negro; and thereby illustrating to the world—what?—"thereby illustrating to the world the common bond of brotherhood which binds the human race" (roars of laughter.) Mr. Speaker, I appeal to the House if it does not appear that the author of that pamphlet must have been corrupted by reading the work of my friend from Ohio? But the gentleman goes on to say; 'I confess that, at first, it seemed to me a sort of theatrical mummery, not being familiar with such admixture of society"—that was the first impression of my young and festive friend from Ohio, as he wandered through the gilded corridors of St. Peters, (laughter) "But, he says, "on reflection, I discerned in it the same influence which during the dark ages, conferred such inestimable blessings on mankind. History records that from the time of the revival of letters the influence of the Church of Rome had been generally favorable to science, to civilization and to good government" why? Why asks my friend from Ohio is the Church of Rome so favorable to science, to civilization and to good government? Let the gentleman from Ohio answer. "Because her system held then, as it holds now, all distinctions of caste as odious." (Great laughter) "She regards no man, bond or free, black, or white, as disqualified for the priesthood. This doctrine has, as Macaulay develops in his introductory chapters to his English History mitigated many of the worst evils of society; for where race tyrannized over race, or baron over vil- Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. There is perhaps no fairer land beneath the sun than that section of Virginia called "The Great Valley." Bound by the South Mountain on the North West, and the Blue Ridge on the South East, it extends across the state from the Potomac to the south line nearly 200 miles in length and varying from 20 to 40 miles in breadth. Through its northern portion the Shenandoah pursues its regular and orderly course along the base of the Blue Ridge, while further South, the upper James, the Staunton and New Rivers wind in tortuous channels across the valley cutting through the mountain barriers East and West, and flowing in opposite directions towards their respective receivers. The atmosphere is invigorating and healthful, and it is abundant in its agricultural and mineral resources and superfluous in all the good things that make it a desirable residence for man. THREW AWAY A FORTUNE. In one of his battles with the Swiss, Charles the Bold, amidst the confusion of his defeat at the hands of the liberty-loving mountaineers, lost the crown jewels, which he was in the habit of carrying around with him in his campaign. In the pursuit a Swiss peasant found his rich prize, and in his ignorance, threw the game away, and lein, Catholicism came between them and created an aristocracy altogether independent of race or feudalism, compelling even the hereditary master to kneel before the spiritual tribunal of the hereditary bondman. The childhood of Europe was passed under the guardianship of priestly teachers; who taught as the scene in the Sistine Chapel of an Ebiop addressing the proud rulers of Catholic christendom teachers, that no distinction is regarded at Rome save that which divides the priest from the people. The sermon of the Abyssinian—that is this colored person, this Roman citizen of African descent—in beautiful print was at the door. I bring one home as a trophy and as a souvenir of a great truth which Americans are prone to deny or to contemn." Now I ask my friend if he still has that trophy or souvenir to bring into this Hall? Mr. Cox: If the gentleman will allow me to reply I will do so. But Mr. Cole who had yielded to Mr. Washburn claimed his right to the floor, and what Mr. Cox would have said was never said. Mr. Washburn had turned the tables on him neatly and had stewed him in his own fat. The book he wrote was printed to be sold—His speeches to catch votes. It was just as common then for near statesmen to villify the Negro in Congress, as it is today. It is the first and last refuge of a demagogue. Cox's speech and Cox's book when placed side by side show what a blatant hypocrite he was. Yonkers, N. Y. took the casket home with him as a present to his wife. A MARTYR A martyr was asked whether he did not love his wife and children who stood weeping by him? "Love them!" said he, "Yes, if all the world were gold at my disposal, I would give it all for the satisfaction of living with them, though it were in prison." DEATH OF A MOTHER. Thy hands are clasped upon the heart, We've kissed thy lovely brow. And in our aching hearts we feel, We have no mother now. We miss thee from our home dear moth er, We miss thee from thy place; A shadow on'r our lives is cast, We miss thy smiling face. We miss thy kind and willing hand, Thy fond and gentle care. Our home is dark without thee, mother We miss thee everywhere. SERIES OF MEETINGS ON PREVENTION OF DISEASE. Tuberculosis Society of St. Louis Cooperates in Health Conference. The first meeting of the Negro conference on tuberculosis was held under the auspices of the Anti-tuberculosis society in the Summer high school, St. Louis, from Monday afternoon, Dec. 12, to Friday, Dec. 16, inclusive. The president of the local conference is Professor F. L. Williams, who presided at the formal opening of the conference, at which exhibits were shown. Monday night's meeting was conducted by public school teachers, who had associated with them the teachers of the various Sunday schools, Professor A. J. Gossin presided. Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, was woman's night, and the presiding officer was Miss Arsania Williams. On Wednesday evening the Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman delivered an instructive lecture to the students of the Summer high school. The meeting was presided over by Mr. George C. Poag. On Thursday evening there will be an oratorical contest, open to pupils of the Summer high school, for a prize of $10, offered by Edward F. Golta, chairman of the municipal commission on tuberculosis, for the best ten minute oration on "The Prevention of Tuberculosis Among Colored People." The conference will close with a talk on "Tuberculosis and the Colored Race" by Professor Edward S. Williams, a stereopticon exhibition and the appointment of permanent committees. There was a stereopticon lecture every evening during the conference, and the tuberculosis exhibit was open daily from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. THIS NEGRO FOUGHT SOME. Down in Bond, Mississippi, recently Jake Warren, who killed James Odun and wounded the latter's wife, fought a mob of forty men bent on lynching as he was being removed from the jail, and came off victor after wounding eleven of his assailants. Warren is known as one of the strongest Negroes in the world. He used first a water bucket with which he cracked six skulls in quick succession. He then wrested a scantling from one of the members of the mob and did bloody work with that also. One of the attacking party succeeded in shooting Warren, but the wound is not serious. Good The jailors finally got reinforcements and rescued him from the mob. The best place to get your watch clock or jewelry repaired in this town is at Mr. J. W. Bratt's.

NO.49 Jefferson's Good Advice Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States,gave this advice to the folks of his generation: Do not sit up late at night; study and work in the daytime. Rise early and go to bed early. Avoid novel reading and cultivate the companionship of good books. Never tell a lie or stoop to a mean act. Be kind to every living creature. Speak no evil of any one. Be good, adore God, be loyal to friends and love your country better than yourself. Take hold of things by the smooth handle; avoid disputes; do not turn pleasant conversation into heated argument. Too much speaking is not best. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Never spend your money before you have it. Never buy what you do not need because it is cheap. Pride coats more than hunger, thirst and cold. We never repent of having eaten too little. Never borrow trouble. JUS' KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON. If the day looks kinder gloomy An' your chances kinder slim-- If the situation is puzzlin' An' the prospect is awful grim, An' perplexities keep pressin' 'Till all hope is nearly gone, Just bristle up, an' get your teeth, An' keep on keepin' on. Fumin' never wins a fight, An' frettin' never pays, There ain't no good in broodin' in These pessimistic ways. Smile jus' kinder cheerfully When hope is nearly gone, An' bristle up, an' grit your teeth, An' keep on keepin' on. "You no doubt have observed the lily white complexion of some women. These women are sacrificing years of their lives for that beautiful skin by the use of arsenic," said a chemist of Manchester, England. "It is a well known fact that thousands of women in all countries of the world use the poison in small quantities to bleach their skin. It is an effective means of whitening and clearing the complexion, but the complexion given by its use has no permanency unless the absorption of the drug be continued. "Arenic, as science has long told us, is an accumulative poison. When one takes it either by prescription for the upbuilding of an appetite or for the bleaching of the skin he does not feel any ill-effects for several years. The effect of the drug is bracing and makes a person feel like eating. It also aids the digestion. The average user of the poison takes it in such small quantities that he does not realize how much of it will accumulate in his system in the course of four or five years. Being an accumulative poison, it often takes that length of time to see the results of the drug. Then the user may complain of not being able to control his fingers or toes. Subsequently he loses control of his hands and arms. Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical poisoning, is the fearful result.—Washington Post.

Write for a pamphlet and be convinced. After all the unnecessary ado had at Charleston and the comic opera exhibitions which took place in and around the State House, it looks now as if the West Virginia Legislature is down to business and is going to enact some first class laws and thereby be a benefit to the men and women of this State. If you have the means and want to buy a home in any locality, go in person and bid on it and get it if you are able to pay for it. The Supreme Court of Washington has decided that it is legal and will stand. Make up your mind that the harder you are fought the harder you are going to fight, and victory is yours. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is one of the greatest institutions since the spirit of the old Abolition party has waned. To us it looks like it is God's substitute for that once noble organization, and may be help it on and along, as he did its forerunners when so much was at stake. A subscriber and reader of this paper writes thusly: "If you had your way, what kind of a man would you have as your son in-law?" 1. We would find out if he were naturally industrious. 2, if he was known to be honest, and lastly, I would have his blood scientifically tested, and if there was a particle of venereal taint, he should never call me father. When all things are carefully looked into, a man whose rights are denied, how natural to thank God for the down going of the "old guard" in the United States Senate, and the upgoing of the progressive men. The time was ripe for it. Think of but two United State Senators having the manhood to stand up and defend as patriotic soldiers as those who had on so many battlefields bared their breasts in defense of this country and whom a Texas grand jury had declared were innocent. Foraker and Bulkley were the lone two. The progressive men will play a new game, we believe, resulting in blessing to all progressive men. The Pioneer Press, from close observation, has concluded that it is bad policy to allow children under the age of 12 years to be insured. With many it hurries them away, and with others, it only serves to make a false display at death. And for another reason; a certain doctor has said: if they die I am sure of getting my money. The same doctor has said publicly: "I would rather have than a bad cold." Why not make a law to regulate the first and isolate the second? American slavery dies hard. It required shot and shell and hundreds of thousands of the lives of human souls to destroy it in its original state, but soon after the war it took on another form, called peonage, which has been for years and years, far worse than the first, and for a long time it seemed more briarenbanded and argue-eyed than the old time form, but time is the regulator of all things, and at last, by death in the United States Supreme Court, better men have gotten their places, and they have killed the monster. All praises to God. By killing peonage, education will get a new impetus, because it was as necessary to keep southern Negroes ignorant to make that devilish slavery profitable as it was the former. A Texas editor declares that the Negro race has never produced great preachers like Beecher, Talmage and others of the white race. It may be in a certain sense true, but still there is hope. As most white men become great in politics only by appointment, so have many preachers appointed to 'pulpits who are independent thinkers and tell their thoughts to a religiously scared people. Independent thinking makes preachers in this country. Rest assured that as long as the bulk of Negro preachers work so hard for money; believe in spasmodic conversions and preach a hell fire religion, they will stay down where the Texas editor now sees them. Hell and heaven are conditions—not positions, and general fondness of this class of Negro preachers for women has done our race more harm than saloons. As a whole, we know of no town in the United States where the Negroes are as subservient as they are in Martinsburg. Years ago, there was an old building erected for a skating rink, and like a horde of our christians, it was covered in front with galvanized iron to make the front look passable, with all of its old lumber and looks elsewhere—the same old shack, yet it is dubbed 'Opera House,' to which most of the fly by night and many degrading shows come. First Negroes went as others, paid for their seats and sat where they chose, but of late years, they have been jim crowed. They took it, and seemed so well pleased with it, that they got an extra dose of it, and were not allowed to as much as go into said place through the same door. A "nigger cutty hole" was made, and they flock in through it, and go up into the gallery with the delight of emiling angels—poor Negroes—the worst foes the race has. Radical changes are to be made in the game laws if bills to be favorably recommended to the house at this session by the committee on fish and game prevail. These bills abolish the $1 hunters' license, make written permits apply only to enclosed lands abolish the office of game warden and his deputies and require foreigners to be naturalized before being allowed to hunt. Non residents' license fee is increased. Sound and sensible is the above. To say the least it was robbery. It will open the eyes of border of voters in a pleasing way. It is not good for parties in power to make slaves of their voters. It defeated Foreman in Grant County and helped to defeat the party that made the law in every county in this state where hunting is good, for many poor fellows who could have gotten their children meat, they lackek the dollar to pay the license. Pass it. A Great Victory. Sometime ago, a mulatto young man was visited at his home in South Carolina one night and for no justifiable cause was shot by some crackers. Although wounded, he shot and killed his would be murderer. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged and the Supreme Court pronounced it right, a body of God loving men and women took the matter up with President Taft, who interceded with Governor Ansell of South Carolina, and had his sentence reprieved. That having been done, more is sure to follow—his final freedom. Good! and so much for the manly spirit of convention for the right. The Constitution of the United States declares that A man's home is his castle, and no one has a right to molest him in it where he has a right to defend it, by taking the intruder's life. We, as a race have as much right to rejoice over today's signs of the times, as we had when the first gun was fired at Fort Sumpter, in 1861. Resolve to be men, and all else will follow. Pink Franklin was his name, and it should be remembered and revered by every race loving Negro. ATTACK LIKE TIGERS.

FOURTH ANNUAL FAIR IN MACON Georgia Farmers Made Good Showing at State Exhibition. EXPERTS IN COTTON GROWING Major R. R. Wright and His Associates Have Introduced New Systems Which Will Greatly Enhance the Industrial Life of the People—Success of His Undertakings. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT The fourth annual Georgia colored state fair, which was held recently in Macon, was a complete success. Its effect will be felt all over the state in the respect of encouraging farmers, mechanics and householders to greater perfection and excellence in agricultural, domestic and mechanic arts. The object of the fair was not to make money, but solely for inspiration and education. The Georgia colored state fair grew out of a conference of colored farmers that Major it. R. Wright called to meet at the Georgia Industrial college at Savannah in February of 1900. This conference is held annually by the farmers at the college. In the meantime Professor Wright became so interested in the movement of the farmers that a thought grew upon him that it would be a good idea to interest the farmers as well as the many artisans of the race, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, seamstresses millers, etc. In a great fair they could put their many products on exhibition and thus stimulate the masses of the race into better farming, better industrial work along all lines. When the farmers met in 1906 and the matter was again put before them they agreed that it was a bright idea, but the task was a herculean one, and many thought it too large an undertaking, but Professor Wright assured them if they would follow him they would pull through all right, and they set to work at once to accomplish the task. How well they have succeeded can be seen by the results of the fourth great state fair under the same leader, R. R. Wright. He has his forces united better than ever before. Whatever may be said of President Wright and his associates, this can be said without successful contradiction—that they have torn down old order and system of things and set up a standard that will mark a new epoch in the economical and industrial life of the people. The fair affords the colored students of art, science, needlework, domestic science, farm, shop or whatever pursuits they undertake in the state the opportunity to exhibit to the world the product of their genius and the work of their handicraft. The exhibit of Charles Land was a most creditable one and deserves much praise. His pumpkins, peas, corn, sugar cane, sorghum, wheat, oats, batter, milk, rye, walnuts, pecans, meat, cotton, vegetables and fruit were par excellent. The trays in which he kneaded the dough and the troughs from which he fed and watered his cattle were the work of his own hands and dug from timber felled on his own forests. Moses Yopp, a farmer of Dublin, Ga., exhibited ten stalks of cotton. These ten stalks of cotton contained 1,334 open bolls. On one stalk there were 185 bolls. The stalks were pulled from one acre from which Mr. Yopp gathered and ginned two bales of cotton. The cotton was grown from seed improved by Mr. Yopp, which he calls Yopp's Improved. Professor L. B. Thompson, director of industries of the Georgia State Industrial college, is the secretary of the Fair association. He rendered very valuable service in helping to make the fourth annual industrial and economic fair the great success that it was.

But a diplomat cut was kept by the photographer—who died poor and broken down; the diplomat cut was broken from pliers to post for nearly 50 years, until it was discovered by a New England collector. J. Harper Muggs (pictured) to secure its collection—President Carl M. and General Benjamin F. Butler said it was worth $1000—with the help of the Rev. Morris of Kewanee, the centre of collection has been gathered into 10 present volumes. It is placed within your reach at less than the value of one of the photographs. It is the one accumulated, imperial history of the Civil War, for the camera cannot miss. It tells the story of the war you never heard before. Taken under protection of the Secret Service, these photographs bring to light thousands of little-known phases of the war they penetrate to change,照片 and record strange things.

Review of Reviews Company 13 Astor Place, New York AS WESELL. Is the Title of a Book whose author is Robert L. Waring, Esq., 609 F. Street Northwest Washington, D. C. It is excellent, and is destined to do incalculable good. In fiction it gets at facts as they exist, and outlines the real bulk of the causes of the trouble and friction between the two races. It is bound to be read the world over and will serve well its purpose. It took a strong mind and a fertile brain to plan and write this book which Henry Watterson, the great editor says is phenomenal, and will be read by as many white as colored people—just as it should be, for the real and proper settlement of the so-called problem, is interdependent—one upon the other. It is written in a time as ripe to make it at most as popular as did the period that immortalized Uncle Tom's Cabin. Get the book and read it. It only costs $1.60. Address the author as given above.
