CIRCULATION INCREASED BY 2000 COPIES, SINCE JULY1, 1910. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS SOUTH IS HINDERED TO NEGROES OF ATLANTA BY VIOLENCE OF-MOBS PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. SAY THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER FOR THE RACE. LAUDS VOCATIONAL TRAINING President Taft Thinks That White Race Is Anxious That Negro Be Given a Chance. Atlanta—(Special.)—President William Howard Taft, speaking before the Central Avenue M. E. church, colored expressed the sentiment that the salivation of the colored race lies in vocational training, especially along agricultural lines. President Taft was preceded to the platform by Captain Archie Butt and accompanied by Postmaster Hugh McKee, Collector Henry S. Johnson and others. After the rendition of "Down by the River" by the choir and "America" by the entire audience J. A. Rush pastor of the church, introduced President Taft. "In presenting the president," said Doctor Rugh, "I do not present the president of the north, nor of the south, nor of the rich, nor of the poor, but of the entire country. I take pleasure in presenting to you the greatest ruler in the world, William Howard Taft, president of the United States." The president's speech follows, in part: "I am very much complimented to have you come here in such numbers to greet me. I am glad to be here I never lose an opportunity to express my intense interest in the welfare of the colored citizens of the United States." "I know the hard road you have had to travel and I know the hard road that lies before you, but I believe in my heart that things are looking brighter for you from year to year. "You do not ask alms, you do not ask the government for help you do not ask anything more than other people. All you ask is an opportunity, and that I believe all good men, north or south, are most anxious that you should have." "I have heard it said that your lot in the south is a hard one, I do not believe it. You are now in the south and you look reasonably happy. I have frequently heard my good friend Dr. C. T. Walker, pastor of the Augusta Methodist church, tell of the friendly relations existing between the whites of that city and the members of his congregation. "One of the tendencies of public speakers is to tell the public what they ought to do; it is so much easier to tell it than to do it. You have here in the south a splendid soil which gives a material response to labor, in tellingly applied. The members of your race have shown that they fully realize the great wealth stored away in it, and are beginning to understand the methods of getting this wealth out. "Statistics tell of the splendid $1,000,000,000 cotton crop and show that you have helped, to raise it, and have done your full share in delivering a cross the ocean." "If you are going to save enough to make a home you have laid the foundations of happiness for your selves, your wives and your children. If you make yourselves useful in the community, they are bound to value you, because they can't help it. It is only when you are shiftless and waste your time in saloons that you cease to be useful. "The secret of the solution of the problem of the south is education, primary and industrial." (Voice) We don't get it. "You say you don't get it. You must realize that it takes time and money to system of education. A good government is an expensive government. It must have money to educate the children and it must have time in which to arrange the schools. It is one thing to have statistics and another thing to have schools properly supervised and with a corps of efficient teachers. If an a trustee of Hampstead institute and one of the trustees of the teenage fund voted to rural coloured schools in the south, Education is steadily improving throughout the schools. The opinions are taking the teenage fund's opinion has been answered. The states of the south know that the education of the black is as essential as the education of the white. Those who have examined states ties must be blind if they do not have immunity for a race which, in slavery these years, ago, now number over 70 persons of its members in the literate class. "And now, friendus, goodly, and God bless you." False pride has deprived many a man of an honest day's work. A man who profits by the experiences he allows is the experienced man. A workman who watches the events one who is watched by it. It is the man's duty to praise his wife when he is given if it is carrying him to the nearby grave. When the man is in love he never knows whether his heart is in the right place or not. SECRETARY OF WAR DICKINSON MAKES INTERESTING STATE: MENT IN ATLANTA CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING Advances Theory for Ultimate Solution of the Race Problem Atlanta—(Special)—Full·commercial development of the south can follow only on the suppression of mot violence, in the opinion of Jacob M. Dickinson, the secretary of war. Addressing the Southern Commercial Congress in this city, Mr. Dickinson declared that because of frequent lawless outbreaks, an unjustifiable prejudice against the southern states existed not only in the north, but in foreign countries. Such outbreaks, he declared, were the result of abnormal conditions produced by the civil war. Broadly viewed, however, he added, the south would be found to be a land of law and order, and he emphatically urged the immediate necessity of establishing a reverence for and an impartial enforcement of the law as a primary step to the future greatness of the south. As an ultimate solution of the race problem in the south, Mr. Dickinson suggested the possibility of the voluntary removal of the mass of young Negroes to a country of their own fostered and guarded by the United States. "When they grow in wealth and education," said Mr. Dickinson, and still find themselves confined in their aspirations by insurmountable barriers which bar their social and political progress and deny them the opportunities of citizenship oper to all others, and ambition to free themselfs from such conditions may, if sustained by a liberal governmental policy, lead to such a movement. "Progress and the protection of persons and property under the law," said Mr. Dickinson, "are correlative terms. There can be no general and steady economic development where there is a general non-enforcement of the law. The tremendous and steady strides being made generally in the south for successive decades, in education, commerce, manufactures, mines bank capital, railroad agriculture, in deed all that indicates steady progress, demonstrate that the people of the south, taken generally, are peaceable and law-abiding. Turning to the subject of crimes. Mr. Dickinson declared that the war brought many changes, and that attacks on white women by Negroes and done more to evoke lawlessness in the south than all other causes combined. "There would have been, without this, for a long time," continued Mr Dickinson, "much personal violence growing out of the hot temper of the people and the development by war of their fighting proclivities. But this would have subsided with greater rapidity than it has done if that one crime as a breeder of crime had not afflicted us. I say abbreeder of crime, for there is no such hotted for the propagation of crime as a mob. "In my judgment, conditions, have improved, and are steadily improving partly on account of our general progranous condemnation from men andress, and a more pronounced and vig papers of influence and character who appreciate the magnitude of the evil and partly because, the more enlightened Negroes have taken a wise and more determined attitude toward the tardiness of their own race." Reform School for Youths. Charlotte, N. C.—(Special)—There is much likelihood that a reform school for wayward Negro youths will be established very soon. The sentiment of the entire state, both white and black, is behind the movement it has the endorsement of the press of the state. A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for an appropriation of $500, which bill will very probably pass. The Shortest Poem. The shortest poem ever written con- cerned the flies. It was written by an unknown editor and goes after this fashion: Already Provided.

It would be a destiny. Upon the occasion of the recent assault upon Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York city by a man who accused him of being a "peeping Tom" a number of prominent men hastened to assure the noted negro educator of their implicit faith in his protestations of innocence. President Taft took occasion to pen a letter in which he declared that it would be "a nation's loss" if the incident impaired Washington's great powers for good and added that he was proud to subscribe himself as "friend." The letter is reproduced herewith. REPRESENTATIVE BASS'S BILL AGAINST RACE DISCRIMINATION Should Be Placed Upon the Statutes of the State.

All Negroes who have suffered embitrassment and discrimination in theaters, parks, restaurants, hotels public conveyances or at any place where the general public has a right to demand service, will heartily approve the amendment offered in the State legislature last week by our only representative, Hon. Harry W. Bass of Philadelphia. The act of 1857 provides: "Any person, company, corporation, being owner, lessee or manager of any restaurant, hotel, railroad, street railway, omnibus line, theater, concert hall, or place of entertainment or amusement, who shall refuse to accommodate convey or admit any person or persons on account of race or color to their lines, or into their hotels, or restaurant, theater, concert hall or place of amusement, shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a misde MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED DURING WEEK Henry Washington Flood.

Any Negro who has been refused in any of the above cases has a clear case against the party discriminating; but the trouble arises when suit is brought, for in almost every case the defendant says that he did not refuse to serve the plantiff because he was colored. In each case the defense is the same. Mr. Bass' amendment provides that refusal shall constitute evidence of violation of the above quoted act. Every Negro in Pennsylvania should write his representative a letter on this question, and demand an answer. In this way we can put our representatives on record. At the election, they tell us nice things and make us cash promises; now let them either stand for us, or go on record against us. Woman Defined. "What is woman?" asked the speaker.

Are you attending strictly to business? Are you on the job early and late and giving your patrons full value for their money? If not, do so at once, as it is most essential and the road to success. Study your business from A to Z and keep up to date. You have to spend money to make it, and get the public know what you are doing and what you have got to offer by advertising, it thoroughly. Keep in the limelight always, for if you don't the progressive man will get your trade. Do you make your places attractive, and have you cultivated those nice courtesies and practice them upon your customers, which you find will win you friends and dollars. We have some barber shops now on the hill, as well as some other places of business that the Bureau of Health ought to put out of business. If you are not giving your customers their money's worth, get out of business. Don't complain about not getting the patronage and support of your people, if you are not giving full value and doing your part to deserve it. The colored business men of the Hill should come together about once a month and shop "shop" as such meetings ought to be helpful. You should be members of the PTOWN BOARD OF TRADING. If helpful to the店or more, who not you? a month and talk shop, as such meetings ought to be helpful. You should be members of the UPTOWN BOARD OF TRADE. If helpful to the white merchant, why not you? Do you buy everything you can from the Race's caterpillars? Where do you set your clothes made, your groceries and soft drinks, if you please? Who's your doctor, dentist and lawyer? It is very inconsistent for any church, institution or individual to patronize elsewhere especially, in fact everybody should spend their money with his people as much as possible. Last, but not least, you how have a newspaper of your own in the Courier, that deserves your loyal support. If you can only realize fully how much the success of this paper means to the colored merchant, church and race in general in Pittsburg and the State, you would do your full duty by buying it weekly or subscribe for it. We want to take this occasion to compliment Mr. Geo. Robb proprietor of the leading gate and bar on the Hill, as well as, Mr. Wm. T. Ward, who conducts the finest billiard and pool parties on the Hill, for taking 20 copies each week, which they give away free to their patrons. It helps them and it helps us to increase our circulation. Beginning Early. Caller (viewing new baby)—"Do you think he is going to resemble his father?" Mother—"I shouldn't be surprised.

Bell of National Railway Company—Left the North For Business Career in the South. Newport News, Va.—Oftentimes when a young colored man, after receiving his education, seeks a position which his training fits him for, but is debarred, such proscription in many instances forces him to create a job that will ultimately develop into a business venture of extraordinary scope, which will open a door that has heretofore been closed to his people. An example of this truth is found in the life of a Philadelphia lad who was educated in the schools of that city. His mother died when he was nine years old. His father left him at the age of eighteen years to mold his young character among, influences which would test every fiber of his being. In school E. C. Brown was an exceptionally bright scholar. After graduating from the public schools he was BANKER R. C. BROWN employed by the Bradstreet mercantile agency as mail clerk, which he acceptably filled for three years. This position, however, simply inspired him for more responsible work. He took a course at the Spencerian Business college in stenography and typewriting. His work was so thorough that William T. Bell, vice president of the National Railway company, engaged him as his stenographer. In this position young Brown came in touch with the leading steel and railroad magnates. He was well thought of by them. The company later on merged with a larger concern, and this caused Mr. Brown, along with other employees, to lose his position. After spending some time diligently seeking a position as stenographer and finding that his color and not his competency was against him, he, with that indomitable courage and ability to think and act judiciously under such circumstances, started south, determined on a business career. Landing in this city with only a few dollars in his jeans, with the vim that moved obstacles and the optistic smiles which made every person who perched to converse with him feel that his life was a great leaven in the activities of the community, he succeeded in interesting a successful business man by the name of Mr. Brown, with whom he engaged in business. So the real estate firm of Brown & Brown soon had its signs on vacant buildings over the city. Mr. Brown has undoubtedly gained the confidence of people over the country because of his integrity. He did business as any successful man would manage his affairs; hence it was not altogether the question of his racial identity. A little over two years ago he began the banking business in the city by organizing the Crown Savings bank, which is a success. In the bank and in his office one will find the office system which assures the ability of Mr. Brown and his associates to keep their fingers on the minutest detail of the business. In May, 1900, he secured a charter for a corporation known as the Brown Savings and Banking company, which is now doing a financing business. In Norfolk in meeting the needs of the large Afro-American population in the tidewater section. In the same building Mr. Brown has a real estate department, which is doing a large business. He is president of both banks, and these enterprises have stimulated hundreds of Afro-Americans, until today numerous enterprises are giving to a little army of young people employment because of this young man's Negroolic methods of doing business. Mr. Brown is director of the Southern Aid society of Richmond, Va., and is treasurer of the Colored Banker association. He is conspicuous in the local, state, and national Negro Business league. The close application to business and unquestionable integrity and intelligent preparation, combined with an unselfish spirit, are the distinguishing traits of Ms. Bawara's character. with a full three year course. The School of Arts and Sciences offers two courses, classical and scientific. The work of the normal and preparatory school is to prepare students for teaching, for business and for college. The Bible is a textbook in all the course. Seven of the professors are Presbyterian ministers, and the others are Presbyterian laymen, of whom five are ruling elders. Only three of the 228 students enrolled this year are not professing Christians. The graduates from their university are sealous workers in their respective vocations, and their character is a fitting attribution of the training received at Biddle. From the theological department 137 men have graduated from the school of art and science 306; considerably more from the normal and preparatory departments than from the above named departments combined. Only males are admitted to this university. The president of the university is a man eminently prepared for the position. Born in Erffield county, S. C. March, 1883, when his people were denied enrylampments coaductive to a life of the highest usefulness, reared on a farm and never attending a public school but one month in a year until he had reached the age of seventeen years, at this age he left the farm and entered the Willard Richardson Normal school, Winnsboro, S. C., where he completed five years' work in three years. Then Henry Lawrence McCroery entered the preparatory department of Biddle, graduating several years later, and the year 1889 graduated with honors from the college departments having won the alumni gold medal in the junior prize oratorical contest. After graduating from the theological department the year of 1895, he did advanced work in the study of the Semitic languages in Chicago university, making Hebrew a specialty. His ascendency in the educational work is as follows: For two years as assistant teacher in the preparatory school, two years later as principal of this department, one year head professor of Latin in the college department, and then exalted to the chair of Hebrew and Greek exegesis in the theological school and afterward appointed dean of the department. At this time his alma mater had conferred upon him the degrees of A. B., B. R. B., A. M. and D. D. At the death of Dr. Sanders, the president of the university, in 1907, he was made president of the institution. Dr. McCormay was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church in the United States of America in 1865. He is the official minister of the presbytery and once moderated of Catawba synod; was commissioner to the general assembly, Kansas City, Mo., and delegate to the pan-Presbyterian alliance in New York city. 1899. He is an able pulpitpeer and a conservative race leader. The entire race is indebted to such generous benefactors who made possible this university and to those by whom it is maintained. COLLEGE . PRIZE CONTEST. George W. Scott to Participate in Fin-ails at Columbia College. The final oratorical contest at Columbia college. New York, for the Curtis, medals will occur in April. George W. A. Scott, who won second prize in the 1910 contest, has been chosen for this year's debate also. Mr. Scott's subject last year was "Is the Negro Fitted for Citizenship?" His argument brought forth high commendation from the faculty and other officials of the college as being logical and couched in the best rhetoric. There will be four contestants in the finals in April, and Mr. Scott has selected for his subject "Child Slavery." The other speakers and their subjects are: A. M. Gill, "Woman Suffrage," P. M. Beck, "Character and Social Achievement," and A. W. Macnabon, "Public Opinion and the People's Rule." It is highly gratifying to the race to know of Mr. Scott's success at Columbia. The outcome of the contest is being looked forward to in college circles with unusual interest. Bishop Theodora Holly Dias-In Haiti. The death of Right Rev. Dr. James Theodore Holly, bishop of Haiti, the first colored bishop consecrated by the American Episcopal church, was announced in a dispatch to the church authorities in America during the week of March 25. Bishop Holly was born in Washington in 1829 and was educated as a Roman Catholic. Becoming an Episcopalian, he was ordained priest of the Episcopal body in 1856 and became rector of St. Luke's church, New Haven. He was consecrated bishop of Haiti in 1874 in Grace church, New York. The Blight of Color Discrimination. These race segregation laws, Jimcrow car laws and other wholesale color discrimination laws if not soon curbed will work bitter ruin to free American institutions. For instance, in Richmond, Va., a colored person may own a home in any part of the city, but if the property happens to be in a block where the majority of residents are white such property must be rented by white persons. Thus the colored man becomes the landlord of the white man. Howard Orphan Asylum Burns. In the recent destruction by fire of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum's new home at St James, H. Y. the institution which has done so much for the orphans has suffered a great loss. Fortunately no lives were lost. The damage to the property is estimated at $12,000. Superintendent J. H. Gordon is not discouraged, however, and will continue its mission at the institution. MARRIES conf ; AUTOR & TAL CIRCULAR: STAIRCASE pee.

NECRO DOMINATION THE AMERICAN NEGRO WOMAN SATURDAY APRIL 1. 1911 Jackson, Miss.—(Special)—In his address delivered at the reunion of the surviving members of the Mississippi Constitutional convention of 1919, held in the state senate chamber of Jackson recently, the Hon Isaiah T. Montgomery, the only Negro member of that memorable convention, and the founder of Bound Bayou, told his hearers that the city of the alarmist of Negro domination had proved to be purely mythical. In speaking on the subject—Mississippi. Past and Present. Mr. Montgomery said: Mr. President and Gentlemen—I would seem proper that, as the single representative of a people so largely interested in the former work of this body, I should say a few words on this anniversary occasion. "Undoubtedly there was never a time within the history of Mississippi when such a superlative select body of her ablest citizens assembled to grapple with higher duties than those entrusted to the constitutional convention of 1890. "A calm and dispassionate review of the situation from the present point of elevated view will disclose the fact that convention laid a foundation for the first real helpful and hopeful work of true-reconstruction, upon a continually broadening and enduring basis, calculated to more and more bring our state into harmony with her sister states of the union in seeking the highest and pure ideals of civil self-government. "Notwithstanding the many criticisms launched against the constitution (which are based mainly on methods of administration), its tenor is fundamentally just, and the wisdom evidenced in its construction renders 'write the application of a world-renowned poet, expressed in the following quotation: "There is a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them as we may" "The constitution brought order, the first law of the Creator' out of chaotic uncertainty, and gave peace to a confused people; a peace that has gradually softened the asperities of those troubled times, and by the light of progress and the wisdom born of experience we can see further now than was possible during the day of the convention." The complicated race problem, the problem of farming or adjusting practically and equitably, according to the constitutional theory of our national government; the relations between two races of diverse origin upon the ruins of established association, which had occupied nearly two centuries in building—admitted, the most intricate ever decreed for adjudication by a civilized Christian people. "In the day of the convention we could only see far enough to determine that this grave question should be dismissed from politics for one or two generations." "Now, after twenty years, the mists and uncertainties ensacring all human endeavor have sufficiently cleared away for us to begin to understand that this great problem has been providentially divorced from politics for all time, notwithstanding vociferous assertions to the contrary by many of the ablest minds of the day. This great cause has passed up on appeal to the supreme high chancery court, of public opinion, ambracing not only the best and purest ideals of our own broad land, dedicated and consecrated forever to liberty, truth and justice by the blood and brawn of all her peoples, irrespective of race, creed or color, but all over the civilized world wherever the gospel The problem confronting her as a race, a nation, is only the problem which confronts every people on earth, and it is a problem, not of color, but of conditions. Ignorance, superstition, lack of confidence and home training, exigency to separate themselves from the race wherever they can, are among some of the things which hinder them in their onward march. They can not hope to command a place in the world's history by dressing fine, talking well, reciting well-grown up papers, appearing well before strangers, wearing fine jewelry—not all will. Every race nation and individual in this world is weighed upon a scale, and the question asked is not what your color is your dress or jewels cost, but what do you weigh in your neighborhood or community in which you reside? I advise in your home life to make a more attractive to husband and children, at near a paradise as you can for a palace is a prison except where It's main that no woman ever thinks she is. Many a rich man has barely missed landing in jail. He is a strong man who can overcome his smallest weakness. Wise is the man who knows what to say—and then doesn't say it. The average married man wistens a lot of sympathy on his wife's land. About failing in love, the worst feature is that so many people call out again. Music hath charms—but much of the charm is due to the music's being at a distance. Don't be satisfied with walking around on your uppers while waiting for a dead man's shoes. Some men are, boon rich, some acquire riches and some get into politics and thrust riches upon them calves. of Christ, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind holds away, year, even in the great Tribune-Court of Infinity. The intelligent Christian who people of the South and the intelligent Christian Negroes of the South must begin to give answer in equity to this great cause. The race question, as we have it in our sunny Southland, at the bar or the greatest forum of the world, and finally at the bar of eternal justice. In the measure we are able to build up confidence and good will between the two races, and conservate elements of progress in sound conservative Christian citizenship, that measure shall be able to give fitting and acceptable answer to the greatest question of our day and time. "I want to take advantage of this impressive occasion to say on behalf of my people that we believe political genius, inspired by patriotism, has written in the constitution of our country the highest hopes and alms of civil liberty, and sacredly dedicated it to the uplift and development of mankind! "For a long period of time we were the brawn, the hands and the feet, while your people supplied the brains and energy in working 'out' those ideals, but in due time, under God's wise Providence, it has become our privilege to patriotically employ the mind and heart in cultivating aspirations for higher service. "In laboring to perform this service we believe that whatsoever will conserve our permanent, good will also conserve that of our white neighbor; and that whatsoever will conserve his lasting good will also conserve ours." "We believe that politics can do but little more for us than to consistently reaffirm the priceless and divinely inspired ideals already written, leaving the larger, more vital and intricate solutions to be worked out in the daily lives and accomplishments of our whole people, guided by mutual faith and good will, and as a realization of the helpfulness each race may be to the other in fulfilling the higher destiny fixed by the Almighty Arbiter of all human affairs in bringing together and intimately associating in the development of this fair land of ours the most progressive and the most backward people of the earth. "While conditions still lack much of being satisfactory, yet, the twenty years elapsed since the adoption of the constitution of 1858 have brought marvelous progress to our great state." "I have not had the time to trace statistics, but recent official publications show that our state revenues have more than doubled our capacity for educating and training the rising generations and for maintaining the human institutions of the state. "Contrast the old capitol with the splendor of this new and imposing edifice; contrast this marvelous and progressive capital city with the Jackson that we saw in the days of the convention, and you may grasp an idea of the wonderful development that has transpired all over our state. "And in these giant strides of progress my people have liberally shared. I have only been able to give casual thought to the subject; but it will surface to say that in 1890 there was not a Negro bank in the state; now there are ten successfully managed, having an aggregate paid up capital of $100,000 and resources amounting to $750,000." In 1890 our beneficial insurance and less secret orders were collecting and dis- tributing about $150,000 annually. At Tie the present prized they are collecting and disspursing $1,000,000 per year, be- sides maintaining fair reserves "We have also one regularly established insurance-company doing business on the basis at the stand-life AMERICAN NEGRO WON live is enthralled, and the humblest com- tage where love reigns supreme is an- transformed into a glided palace. However humble your home keep it clean. You can not hope for a future posterity who will command the attention and respect of the world unless they are nurtured in the right kind of homes. Much of the crime and immorality of us as a people may be traced directly to the influence of improper home life. Who is she? "She is either the foundation of purity or the foundation of evil. She alone has the power to shape the design of our boys and girls. She is the rock on which true woman and manhood is built. No influence in a man's life is better than that of a good woman. Nothing in the world can produce more lasting effect upon the character of any man than a woman. Great man, who have won battles, not games, stood unaquired, have been controlled by a woman. Let a man no matter what his influence OBLIQUES. Efficiency has hustle for her hand maid. Wise men have tongs for dangerously sweet women. Some day cormon sense will be catalogued as the greatest talent. One woman's idea of another is of ten as inaccurate as her own about herself. In successful marriage, every woman is a hereine to men husband. Woman's fountain tongue makes up for her lack of a fountain pen. Fereishandewear is as far removed from true capacity as one pole from the other. A tool is born every minute, but, asending to the outlures, every minute taere dies a sage and disbursement $1,000,000 per year, be country. "Our people are the great agricultural mainstay of the state. They are beginning to respond favorably to the efforts of the United States agricultural department to promote improved methods of agriculture. While I am not prepared to present authentic figures, yet it is well known that they have increased their holdings in farms and homes fully in keeping with their progress along financial and commercial lines. Speaking more particularly of the marvellous progress in our state during the twenty years that have passed, it may not be out of place for me to recall that I came to the convention in 1950, an humble representative from a Negro community numbering a new hundred, who had two years previously settled in the trackless wilds of the great delta county of Bolivar, the howl of prowling wolves was a familiar sound at nightfall and the yell of the agile panther was still commonly heard. That community has now increased to over 2,500 people, a generation has grown up among them; two graded schools and half a dozen public schools afford instruction to 700 pupils; churches of various denominations have respectable buildings and large membership. The community owns over 20,000 acres of land, 50 per cent, of which is improved with many neat homes and shriving farms. "During this season on favorable occasions their farm products have moved to market at the rate of forty to fifty thousand dollars per week and on one Saturday the daily business of our local bank amounted to over $10,000, which probably exceeded the aggregate business of the year 1890. "In conclusion I beg to quote a single paragraph from the remarks I had the honor of delivering before the convention; "I said to my distinguished colleagues on that memorable occasion: "Then, sirs, we are here to construct a new heart with its imperishable attributes, for the great commonwealth of Mississippi. Shall it be true? Shall it be fixed firmly upon the great principles of truth, justice and equity? I believe that the consensus of enlightened public opinion is now ready to concede that the greet task was well performed." "Those who yet remain are reminded by increasing intimities, and the immutable ravages of time that they, too, must soon enter upon that journey from which none ever return. As they enter the shadows of the mystic beyond, may there abide with their tails consoling reflection: That few men have ever been charged with greater responsibilities, and still fewer ever succeeded in discharging such weighty obligations with greater credit to themselves, and capable of conferring more abundant blessing upon generations to follow." Shape of the Tongue. The latest fad is delineating character by the shape of the tongue. Thus, the tongue that shoots out straight without turning or wayering indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs. Tongues that turn up indicate impractical natures. A downward, drooping tongue belongs to one born to poverty and a ready eye for the hopeless side of things. The cruel tongue flattens and broadens when extended. The delicate-speaking organ with curled-up edges is the property of an imaginative, and artistic being. When the tongue issues forth as if gripped in a dental vice it signifies a love of life more than ordinary. dest come within, the grasp of a strong is minded, bad woman, and all that he has or may be, doomed, unless he keep can shake himself loose. No nation can rise above its wo- men. Hence, it is the duty of every world woman who desires her nation's great rightness, to live such lives as will help to and make the nation great. Let us as be men be careful whom we introduce into our families and homes. We are affected for letter of worse by those or with whom we came in close contact. She Ev associations corrupt good man- ders. This has been an unusually good season in Maine for the trapping of beringer animals. Not long ago a silver-gray fox skin sold in Lewiston for $100. Another, not so large or handsome, netted the lucky woodmen $100 and a Franklin county man reports the capture of a Canadian lynx whose skin measured 45 inches in length. WAYSIDE WISDOM. The hardest job in the world is the appoite's. No girl could be as unsophisticated as a widow, seems. Some men's idea of being independent is to be impolite. The more a man knows about himself, the less he thinks of human nature. Flattery is the one counterfeit that ill of us picture to the genuine arti- The average man is always willing to trade Today's silver for Tomorrow's rainbow-gold. The fire of O—ah, that's the kind of married man expects to see Burns under the kitchen stove. A girl will believe anything that someone tells her, except that she is sure to die the old maid. he is going to the an old man. Most men so through life as they ent through Sunday-school—waiting to be good until Christmas tree is in respect. When a man takes unto himself a life he is apt to exchange a lot of troubles for a bizz one. THE COURIER SCOTTDALE PA.

Sunday School Lesson for Apr. 2, 1811 SPECIAL Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-II Kings 5. Memory GOLDEN TEXT-"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I God, and there is none else." B. 46 22 TIME-Most scholars place this event in the reign of Jehovah, the son of Joshua, who was regiued B. C. 994- Others argue that it occurred in the reign of Jehovah, B. C. 864-58 capital of Syria, the oldest city in the world, famed for its swords, "Damascus blades" and for its silk, "damask." Samaria, the capital of Israel, about 100 miles dis The miracle of Elisha were nearly all surracles of kindly helptness. What were some of these? Those immediately preceding and following our lesson: healing the unhealthful waters of a spring; bringing water into a dry valley; for the aid of the three kings; paying a poor widow's debts by increasing her oil supply; restoring to life, the son of the Shunamite woman, making healthy some potage info which a poisonous plant had been put; feeding a hundred men with 20 barley cakes and a few ears of corn—this and the preceding being in time of famine; healing Naaman; making a lost ax head return to the surface of the water. Who was Naaman? He was commander-in-chief under the king of Syria, Benhadad II. Benhadad, who had been wont in his youth and middle age to lead his armies into the field in person, seems now in his old age to have found it necessary to entrust the command to a general. Naaman had gained renown by freeing his country from a powerful foe, probably Assyria, for the black obelisk mentions wars of the Assyrians under Shalmanzei II. again Israel and Benhadad. Honored and powerful, what was the flaw in Naaman's fortune? He was a leper. Leprosy is of slow development, and as Naaman retained his military command his skills cannot have reached a very advanced stage. It is not likely any case, that the Syrians relied on the same strict rules regarding it as the Jews. Leprosy, or is a terrible disease, fully used throughout the Bible as the symbol of sin and death. The disease is contagious. It is most loathsome. It is incurable, at least in the present state of our knowledge. Sin is curable but not by man. Naaman was a great man, with a great need; and God prepared a great deliverance for him, as he has a great deliverance for all the great needs of his children. But it was brought about by four very simple agonies. Only inferior artists make a parade of complicated processes; the most skillful workers use few tools and unpertinent methods, and God is the most skillful of all artists. Why did Elisha bid Naaman to wash seven times in the river Jordan? To test and strengthen his faith. The journey would give him time for mediation, for the nearest point of the Jordan was 25 miles in a straight line, but much farther in distance to be traveled, from the river of the ravines down which it must be reached. Moreover, the simplicity of the act would turn Naaman's thoughts away from ourward forms to the true God. He would be sure that the water itself did not accomplish the cure, else there would be no leopers in Israel. And he would not, at the distance of 25 miles, be likely to ascribe the cure to the prophet. Why was Naaman angry at this message? How was he to tell that this man of God did not design to mock him by sending him on a fool's errand, so that he would come back a laughing-stock both to the laziness and to his own people? Naaman had expected the prophet himself to forth respectfully and "wave his hand over, the place, and go through some mystic ceremony there." The sting lay in the heart of the prophet himself-took in part in the cure; that instead of being proud to have so august a patient, he had calmly handed him over to one of his assistant physicians—to the medical skill of the waters of Jordan. As Naaman went away in a rage how was he put in a more sensible frame of mind? By one of his servants; Naaman seems a great fortune in his servants. My father, said he, with respectful affection, if the prophet had bid these do some great thing, wouldst thou not one it? Yes! Of course he would and the greater the better. What was the result of Naaman's obedience? The result that always comes when men obey God's commands, he was instantly and completely cleansed from his leprosy. It is a shame that this beautiful story must close with a rectal of Naaman's perfidy. We may be sure that it would never have been inserted if the tale were not a true one. Gehari is the Old Testament Judas, mirepresented from the religion to Naaman and through him to the entire Syrian mission. His punishment was not so great. Gehari had taken Naaman's gift; he should take with it his malady. He would entail the one upon his heirs; he should entail the other The story of Naaman has been said to be the best illustration in the Old Testament of salvation from sin. How is this? It indicates the hideousness of sin. Sin is like a leprosy, eating, insidious, defiling, mutilating, disgiving. It is the disease most to be beheaded. It indicates the universality of sin. No rank is exempt from the curse and no condition of life. It pictures false views regarding salvation from sin. Men seek the wrong means of salvation, as Naaman was sent to Jehovah instead of Elisha. Men entertain their own ideas of salvation and want it accomplished in their own way, as Naaman would dictate to Elisha the method of his cure. It shows the simplicity of the plan of salvation. The surprise of Christian revelation is always in the 'direction of simplicity. Choose the life that is most useful and habit will make it the most acceptable—Lord Bacon. CHURCH NOTICES. BETHEL A. M.

During the last three years there has been a steady infux into Edmonton of colored people from the south, principally from Oklahoma. This year they are starting to come in increasing numbers, and it is said that hundreds of them are heading northward. △ △ △ The Negro masses are making it very plaintly understood that they want no "west-pocket leadership." We can trust the "common sense of men" to give us臂ight. Let us have counsel together—Ekonda sentient. △ △ △ Wagina City, a town designated exclusively for Negroes, is being platted near Athletico, Ark. A local paper says it is believed a village of at least five population will be built up there within a year. Lots will be reserved for schools, churches, lodge halls, depot, and other public buildings. Adjoining the town site a half-mile race track is being graded and a grandstand and other buildings will be erected to hold an annual fair. ```markdown ``` The Rev. W. W. Landrum one of the most prominent white clergymen in the South, says: "I don't doubt that in the course of time—500 years, 1,000 years—the Negro may be absorbed. I believe in time that the race in America will be a composite one—African, Asiatic, European all combined. But what may be expected in a future so distant, does not affect the problem we have to deal with today. ▲▲▲ Let the teachers everywhere teach the Negro pupils how to think rather than to "ignite" and we will soon have a vigorous growth of colored Americans that will have to be reckoned with right—Western State. The colored citizens of Chicago are still buying property. The most thoughtful citizens are now considering plans to purchase a castle of their own. With the coming of Spring, indications are that this year will register a larger per cent. than ever in the number of homes bought by colored people—Illinois Chronicle. ```markdown ``` It is as true today as when recorded in the Great blood: "No man can have two masters"—Georgia Broad age. ```markdown ``` God, in the course of His providence, has never visited His wizard upon any race or nation without first giving them due warning through his prophets and ministering angels. Such is evident all through the history of Israel and Judea, even on down through the ages to the present. ```markdown ``` Tuskegee Institute denies the published story that that the late Henry Ruddings, a colored man of Iowa, bet Tuskegee $200 by the terms of his will. There was no mention of Tuskegee in the will. Race segregation is reaching St. Louis. These waves of proscription follow the lines of longitude. They start South, then heave, roaring and plashing, towards the North, like the breakers breaking themselves along our ocean coast. Richmond and Randmore and still farther south have been experimenting on having "Nigger streets and "white" streets, and "Nigger city districts." But in Baltimore it has fallen through and prevented unconstitutional. Now St. Louis, being somewhat afraid that it is lagen behind its southern selves, is going to try on this old rugged argument of segregation. The real estate exchange is making it up through president, M. A. O. Rule, and friends to the council the passing of a law preventing Negroes from moving into blocks, where whites are more numerous than Negroes. However, if the experiment of race segregation is tried in St. Louis they will find, like in Baltimore, that real estate men will be the first to cry against it—St. Louis Advance. ▲▲▲ Because of the present tendency of this age towards the wholesale practice of unkindnessness the warning of the Prophet Isaiah to Judah on account of its unholy alliance with Da-macus can be quite appropriately called to the attention of the people to day. He hear him learn a lesson and be wise. Because then has forgotten the God of the salvation. And hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy strength. Therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants. And shalt set it with strange ships; In the day shalt then make the plant to grow. And in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish; But the harvest shall be a heap it the days of grief And of desperate sorrow, *Isiah 17:16-17* God severely rebuked national Israel for entangling itself with strange nations. He seemed all along to taunt race unity—Western Star. ▲▲▲ D. L. Jackson (popularly known as "dead" Jackson, the first bale man) has raised, ginned, and marketed the first bale of cotton for thirteen consecutive years. He has in one year raised and marketed as many as five tales of cotton before any other farmer east of the Mississippi river jaded one bale. He has, by his own efforts in farming become the third of fourth wealthiest, than in his county and in a county, ten, which before the war had the distinction of being the third or fourth wealthiest county, in the United States per capita of white population. Mr. Jackson lives five miles out from Albany in the county of Dougherty, Georgia. He has 2,000 acres of land, for which he has refilled $2,000 per acre. He personally cultivates 1,000 acres and rent the other half to members of his own race, who pay him two bales to the plow, notting him $7,000 years. He having for the past thirteen years been successful in delivering the first bale on the market, has decided to pass the glory on to some one else. Mr. Jackson, doubtless, tools that he has accustomed enough for one man. He is now about sixty-six years old well provided for, his life insured for $100,000 and has to his credit in the bank $200,000. ```markdown ``` Although we spend our lives looking for results, but few of us realize that tomorrow results are more vital than these of yesterday. "Perhan you are in school and the cariesness got a zero yesterday in your less is that any reason for so brooding over your failure today that to morrow's marks will also fall down. Forget it, determining that never again will you slip up in your average. Learn to let yesterday alone in your youth and you will have a hapier life. There is nothing more miserable than to be perpetually saving a parade of yesterday's misdiones. Countermarching is never satisfactory; even the things we felt passable at first sight are disappointing when rehashed. If you have things to reget do it once for all. You realize you could be sorry forever after what the acts of your life; but what the use? Far better is it to hold you high, with your eyes so tightly glued to a bright future than there is no time for mournful, backward glances. Don't spend your energy and ruin your peace of mind over what cannot be undone, don't reach your yesterday, give them a decent burial. Don't envy any man for his progress, for some men have more pluck than others. As we grow older, every line of our faces should tell a story of lovings deeds, for we are making for ourselves in your eyes the masks that we shall wear to the end. Many people argue the scripture is random because they do not know its real meaning. The consciences of men urge them to turn a listening ear to the cry of and help the outcast and helpless children. If a man would care for his wife as he does himself, there would be more happy homes. The neighbors are taking your photograph, look pleasant. CADIZ, OHIO Youngstcwn, O.

New Appointees to Soon Move to Washington—Vernon Undecided As to Future. Washington—(Special.)—J. C. Napier is in Washington to take charge of the office of the register of the treasury after being banqueted in Nashville and along the route to this city. He will occupy with his family the Langton residence adopting the Howard University campus. Mr. Lewis will come down permanently from Boston about the same time, but will not remove his family from Boston at the present. Hon. W. T. Vernon, the retiring register, has not as yet determined on the course which he will pursue after leaving the Treasury. While he will engage in business if the proper opportunity offers, he will more probably go on the lecture platform for a time continuing his residence at Washington in preference to returning to Kansas. Eldridge Hawkins, a young colored man of Washington, recently received an appointment at Monrovia, Liberia as assistant secretary of the legation there. He is a graduate of the Business High school of this city and his appointment was greatly assisted by the faculty of that institution. He will be the second graduate of this institution at the Liberian legation, Lieutenant Benjamin Oliver Davis being the other, Mr. Hawkins will receive $1,600 salary. Prof. R. R. Wright of College, Ga. is expected at Washington within a few weeks in interest of some form of semi-centennial celebration of the enunciation of Negro slaves in 1863. The capital city has been thoroughly organized for the local celebration and committee composed of members of various colored citizens, associations are conferring weekly on the plan which must be matured at this early date. The leaders in this movement have made a careful study of the recent semi-centennial of the emancipation of the serfs in Russia and have about come to the conclusion that a similar form of jubilee is the most desirable for the colored citizens of America to hold throughout the nation during one week in the fall of 1913. SIXTEENTH NEGRO "COLORED". According to Kentucky Court Term Colored Applies to Any one With Negro Blood. Frankfort, Ky.—(Special.)—That the term "colored" includes all persons wholly of Negro blood or having any appreciable admixture thereof, "was the way in which the court of appeals of Kentucky construed the state school down here. Suit was brought by one Troy Mullins against the school trustees of a district in Pike county, demanding the admittance of some children of whom he acted as guardian. The Pike county court denied the children admittance to the school holding that they were "colored," being of one sixteenth Negro blood and under the state law prohibiting "colored children" from attending a white school, were there ore 'debarred. The case was carried to the court of appeals and the decision of that court has the effect of upholding the Pike county court and the school trustee who refused to enroll the children as pupils.
