THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME III. CITIZENS AND SUBJECTING Them to Taxation is Unjust—If a Man is Intelligent Enough to Accumulate Wealth, He is Certainly Competent to Say Who Shall Rule Over It—A Republican Congress should Investigate Matter. From The Topeka Daley Capital. It is likely that the question of the disfranchisement of the Negro will receive attention of congress at the coming session, for it is expected by that time Alabama and Virginia will have amended their state constitutions so as to eliminate a portion of that vote. There is also a prospect of Georgia following the example set by her sister states. A review of the subject shows that Mississippi led the way in the Southern disfranchisement movement. In 1892 a constitution was adopted containing the qualification that after January 1, 1893, every elector, in addition to other requirements, should be "able to read any section of the constitution of this state or * * * to understand the same when read to him or give a reasonable interpretation thereof." This provision was carried through the state courts and ultimately to the Supreme court of the United States. In the latter it was upheld and this language was used: "The provisions in section 244 of the constitution of Mississippi making the ability to read any section of the constitution or to understand it when read as a necessary qualification to a legal voter do not amount to a denial of the equal protection of the law secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution, and it has not been shown that their administration was evil, but only that evil was possible under them." South Carolina next came intoline with an amendment to the constitution. It was provided that after January 1, 1898, all males of voting age must be bound, in applying for registration, by the following: "The applicant must be able to read and write any section of the constitution submitted to him by the registration officer or show that he owns and has paid taxes collectible during the past year on property within the state assessed at $300 or more." Louisiana in 1898 made still more rigorous requirements. The educational test involved the writing out of an application for registration in an elaborate formula of 75 words, and a property option similar to South Carolina's was fixed. There was the further requirement, operating to the advantage of the illiterate white man, which allowed three and one half months for any man to secure his registration as a voter for life, who, while posessing neither the property or the educational qualifications, could prove that "on January, 1, 1867, or any date prior thereto, he was entitled to vote under the constitution or statutes of any state of the United States where in he has resided, or that he was the son or grandson of some such person not less than twenty-one years of age at the date of the adoption of this constitution." North Carolina then followed with a disfranchisement amendment to her constitution. Last August it was provided that the candidate for registration must be able to read and write any section of the constitution in the English language, unless she was a legal voter January 1, 1867, or "a lineal descendant of any such person." Lineal descendants are allowed until January 1, 1908, for registration. The extent of the disfranchisement under these provisions is only a question of estimate, as absolute figures are not obtainable. In Mississippi the male Negro population of voting age was 1890 150,436. Under the new constitution the registered Negro vote fell to 16,234. The white vote was 121,504, and this fell to 106,337, showing plainly, however, that the Negroes suffered a great deal more than their white neighbors. In Louisiana in 1897 there was a registration of 130,344 Negro electors, which decreased, under the operations of the new constitution, to 62,402. The white registration fell from 164,078 to 73,133. It is evident, therefore, from the experience in these two states, that the Negro race will lose the elective franchise to a degree in excess of the loss suffered by the whites and this will be accenuated in the case of North Carolina, where the "grandfather clause" prevails. It has not yet been decided whether the states of Virginia and Alabama will be as radical in their action as North Carolina. In Maryland the white and Negro illiterates were put practically upon the same basis, but as it worked out in the last election the Negroes really had the advantage, because, acknowledging their ignorance, they were willing to be taught and learned the simple formulas necessary to mark their ballots, while the white men, scorning to admit their illiteracy, resented efforts to prepare them to exercise the franchise. By the time Congress meets the census bureau will have prepared statistics, called for at the last session, showing the possibilities of the operation of disfranchisement acts; and it will be possible to obtain therefrom clearer ideas of the effect of the State legislation. ALABAMA'S NEGRO ELEMENT. Census Bulleton No 63, issued from Washington, giving the population by sex, general nativity and color in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado and Connecticut, throws some light on the question whether the Negroes of the South are outstripping the whites in fecundity. The census of 1880 showed an alarming relative growth of the Negro population, but, that of 1890 indicated rather a smaller rate of increase among colored than white persons in the South. It was the general conclusion that errors have been made in the report of increase of 1880, due to defective census returns in 1870. For the decade closing last year the Negro population of Alabama increased in about equal ratio with the white. According to the census of 1890 the Negroes numbered a small fraction under 45 per cent of the total population of the state, while last year the census shows a small fraction above 45 per cent of Negroes. The fact that some Negro families moved out of the state during the decade, while many white families from the North moved into the state would indicate that the growth of colored population is more rapid in Alabama by a slight extent than that of the whites. Statistics of illiteracy are not yet reported from the twelfth census though it is not probable that when reported they will show much variation from the returns of 1890. In that year upwards of 69 per cent of Negroes over 10 years of age were illiterate, while but a fraction over 18 per cent of the white were illiterate. There were about 106,000 white illiterates in the state and 330,000 colored. Not much change in these relative figures is likely to be shown by the late census. The relatively much greater illiteracy of the colored people of Alabama leaves the presen Alabama state constitutional convention without a leg to stand on in its pretence of a pervading fear among the people of Negro domination in politics. A plain intelligence qualification for the franchise would cut down the colored electrate by about 60 per cent; while it would cut down the white not more than 12 or 15 per cent. The voting population would then be in something like these proportion; White voters 82 per cent of all voters: colored, 18 per cent. If an honest test of intelligence were adopted by the Alabama convention the whites would therefore outnumber the Negroes more than four to one and Negro domination would be an impossibility in a single congressional district of the state. The equivocations of the Alabama convention leaders leave no room for doubt as to their real intent. Negro domination is a sham which can deceive nobody. It is the purpose of this convention not to safeguard white supremacy, which is a simple matter, but by tricko regulations to shut out all Negroes whomsoever, irrespective of intelligence or property qualifications, on the principle that being the inferior race they must not be permitted to share to the most, limited extent in their own government. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1901. NEGROES AND AGRICULTURE. Cultivation of the Soil as Developed at the Great Institute In Tuskegee, Alabama. The Negro Youth is Being Taught Not to Regard the Life of an Agriculturist as Drudgery--An Occupation for Women. More attention is being given to the subject of scientificica griculture at this time than ever before. Great institutions for teaching agricultural science are being established and developed throughout the country. Magazines and books and newspapers are urging a return to the soil, while vast sums of money are being spent by agricultural colleges for agricultural extension work among farmers. The South has resisted the appeal longer than any other section, and yet it stands more in need of improved agriculture in all its forms than any other. There is wide awakening now to this fact on the part of its thinking citizens. It is especially fitting that the Tuskegee Institute should give some attention to this important line of work. Eighty five per cent. of the Negroes of the South are to depend upon agriculture in some of its forms for a living. The especial need heretofore has been for men—and women, too for that matter—who could point the way toward the development of the endless resources which are about the doors of the great masses of the Negroes of the South. Tuskagee has recognized the importance of proper attention to agriculture in its highest forms and is developing a department which is destined to prove of incalculable service not only to the Negro of the South, but to the South itself, as well. Seven hundred acres of land comprised in the "Home Farm" and 800 acres comprised in "Marshall Farm," located three miles from the institution, afford a splendid opportunity for the working out of theoretical and practical problems in agriculture. The products raised are used in the boarding department of the school. Besides, an experiment station, supported by the state of Alabama, affords the opportunity for varied scientific experiments. Bulletins are regularly issued from this department and a perusal of them indicates that especially good work is being done and will continue to be done by this important division in agr cultural experimentation. The chief aim of the department is to make the instruction practical as well as scientific. From the beginning special prominence has been given to all forms of work connected with the cultivation of the soil. The young men who are in this department, by actual work on the farm in raising the food supplies, caring for stock, fruit and other products, become intelligent and successful farmers. In 1897 a splendid building costing $10,000 was built and equipped for teaching both practical and scientific agriculture. A $5,000 addition is now being made to this building, and two splendidly equipped barns costing $5,000 each, one for the dairy herd, and the other for horses and mules belonging to the institution, will prove valuable helps to the department. With this splendid equipment in the way of buildings and latest improved implements the school will be enabled now, more than ever, to do the best and most practical work. Of the man in charge of the department of agriculture, Mr. George W. Carver, a graduate of the Iowa State Agricultural college of Ames, Iowa, it can be said that, he is a man who has been well grounded in scientific knowledge of nature. Mr. Carver received the degree of Master of Agriculture from this college of agriculture while Hon. James Wilson, the present secretary of agriculture, was dean of the agricultural department. The secretary has the com plete confidence in Mr. Carver's ability and continues the pleasant relations now that existed when he, as teacher, and Mr. Carver, as pupil, were at Ames together. As a teacher he is especially helpful and forceful. The educational experts who recently visited Tuskegee, as members of the Robert C. Ogden party, expressed themselves as being delighted at the splendid way in which he handled his classes which are taken directly into the field for practical instruction, aside from the laboratory practice they receive. He is able to arouse in his students a desire for knowledge of what agriculture means and, in keeping his students interested and delighted at the same time, imparts to them useful and important knowledge. As illustrating the high development to which agricultural work at Tuskegee has been brought it may be mentioned that the dairy alone last year yielded products to the value of $6,382, with an average of fifty-five cows per month. Seventy cows are now giving 150 gallons of milk per day. The other divisions of the department have proved proportionately valuable. As has been intimated, work is carried on in the laboratory and in the field. The laboratory work is simple and easily understood by the students. It consists of an analysis of the various soils for the purpose of learning what elements need to be supplied in order to make them more productive. This enables students to make a proper selection of fertilizers. Fertilizers are also tested to find their composition. Feeds are tested to find those best adapted to fat, to milk, or to muscle. There is also practical analysis of all dairy products—milk, butter and cheese, and a comprehensive study of foreign and native forage plants. All the scientific knowledge is carried daily into the fields and into the practical work of the various divisions of the department. An able instructor, Mr. C. W. Greene, of the Hampton Institute, has had charge for many years of the school's work in practical agriculture, superintending the young men in the actual work of raising the school's food supplies. In this way the technical knowledge of the laboratory is worked out in the fields and in the products of the dairy, garden and orchard. During Principal and Mrs. Washington's visit to England the summer of 1899, they visited the famous Swanley Agricultural college for women and were led on their return to inaugurate the lighter forms of agriculture for women at Tuskegee Instruction is now given young women in dairying, poultry raising, horticulture, floriculture, market gardening and live stock raising. The course of study extends over two years and young women who complete the course have a satisfactory knowledge of how to conduct a small dairy, also how to best care for poultry, how to care for an orchard and raise small fruits of the best quality and quantity, etc. They are taught how to lay out and beautify door yards, how to care for shrubbery and flowers and what especial treatment to apply; how to manage a home garden and how to raise upon it products which will prove most easily marketable; how to care for live stock, etc. A poultry house has been recently completed and is well equipped with brooders and incubators. There is no reason why Southern colored women should not take advantage of the splendid opportunities along, these lines, and become helpful and useful to these For young men the course is more extended and includes a complete and satisfactory course in all the divisions of agriculture. The division of dairying has proved especially successful. Requests have reached the principal of the school from more than two persons during the past year for young men graduates of this division. One of the largest Southern creameries recently made a request for five graduates of the dairy division to take charge of its departments. If instead of the forty-four young men who have been in the agricultural department during the past year, three times as many were receiving instruction employment could be easily secured for all of them. Nine of the graduates from the normal department of the school at its closing, May, 30 had also taken the full courses in agriculture and each of them had secured remunerative employment more than six months before the close of the school. The effort is made to awaken among the students an interest in agricultural life so that it may not come to be regarded as a drudgery, as something to be shirked. No visitor to the school can fail to be impressed with the great work which is being done along agricultural lines; absolutely nothing is overlooked that will afford the student the best opportunity to make himself most helpful if he only devote himself earnestly. The agricultural exhibit at the close of the school term was in impressive as an object lesson. Seventy beautiful milch cows stood in the neat clean stalls. Outside were home raised colts, blooded hogs, sheep, calves, chickens, turkeys and geese. In a large room was arranged in nice order, a great variety of grains, fodder and vegetables. In one corner was a model dairy in full operation. Visitors saw the milk pass to cream and the cream to beautiful cakes of yellow butter, ready for market or the table. There were Italian bees in glass hives, cakes of New white honey and all the implements of bee culture. A large incubator was filled with eggs, from which chickens were constantly dropping; other chickens were in brooders. A large room was devoted wholly to an exhibit of improved agricultural implements. Many went away impressed as they never had been before with the practical value of the cow, of chickens, of pigs, the garden, and the farm generally. Mr. Carver has a full staff of valuable assistants. In addition to Mr. C. W. Greene, of the Hampton Institute, who has already been mentioned, there are others including Mr. William V. Chambliss, of the Tuskegee Institute, in charge of the dairy herd; Mr. William J. Claytor, of the Hampton Institute in charge of the division of stock raising; Mr. George W. Owens, of Kansas State Agricultural college, in charge of division of dairying; Mr. Charles E. Warren, of the Michigan State Agricultural college in charge of the division of horticulture, and Mr. Crawford D. Menafee, of the Tuskegee Institute, in charge of floriculture and poultry-raising, besides three others. At this time negotiations are pending with graduates of the agricultural department of Cornell University and the Massachusetts Agricultural College, at Amherst. If secured, these men will add much to the value and importance of the work. The instruction at Tuskegee is free. Young men who are anxious to secure an education and who are willing to support themselves are afforded every opportunity to work out all their expenses. No field of labor offers to the young Negro if properly trained suren rewards than that of agriculture. White men, North and South, are turning their attention more and more to scientific agriculture, and it well behooves the Negro to be stirring himself if he would not be excluded from the larger rewards of farming. Some time ago the German Government applied for three Tuskegee graduates to go to the West Coast of Africa to introduce cotton raising. The school had the men, and they were offered and are now receiving $100 a month, and all expenses paid, including transportation to Africa and return. An application for a man to fill a $2,500 place has been received at the school during the past month. Young men who have already completed their literary education can find at Tuskegee the opportunity for advanced training along agricultural lines. No graduate from this department is without employment; the demand for them to establish agricultural training at other institutions keeping pace with the demand for graduates to serve as superintendants of dairies and large and important plantation interests.

NUMBER 30 WHITE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH Should Take Warning From Kansas City's To Lynch Innocent Colored Men for a Dastardly Crime Committed by White Knives-An Honorable Judge Happened to Get the Case and Benders A Just Declension in Favor of the Dependents "Joseph Roberson and 'Bull' Holland, the Negroes who came near being lynched Friday night last by a mob of 2,060 people, on the supposition that they had assaulted Miss Grace Davis, a 20-year-old white girl, and attached her escort, Vernon Newton, were turned aloose today for lack of evidence. Justice of Peace Ross in discharging the men said that little credence could be given the statements of Miss Davis and Newton. On the stand both of them admitted having made misstatements regarding the affair. The Negroes set up a strong alibi." From the above, one can readily see how so many poor innocent Negroes are lynched in the South and to some extent in the North. Here is a case where the victims, a man and woman, swears, to the identity of one of the men but afterwards tells another story entirely different from the first. After a tair and impartial trial before Justice Ross the suspects were discharged and completely exonerated. Justice Ross did not hesitate to speak his decision in words that could not be misunderstood. His words plainly showed that he did not think the men guilty of any crime. The facts in the case no doubt, are these, that the young man and women, were out strolling and some young white men who were jealous of Vernon Newton, pounced upon him, beat him into unconsciousness and then attempted to outrage the body of Miss Davis. Then to place themselves in a right light before the public, they trumped up a story and charged three Negroes with the crime. The word "Negro" added caused the hearts of the rough element to burn with fury to and shed the blood of any Negro whether innocent or guilty. The better judgement of some of the best white people in Kansas City saved the city from the awful blot that would have been placed upon it by lynching innocent men. Two much credit cannot be given Chief of Police Hayes, his efficient corps of officers, and the County Marshall for the stand they took to protect the prisoners. TWO TOPEKA RUSTLERS. Edward S. Lee and Charles A. Whitney are working out the Race Problem. The colored people of Topeka are to be congratulated on the enterprise of its young men. Mr. E. S. Lee, for the past few months connected with the Capital Pharmacy, has opened a first class pharmacy at 112 West Eighth street. The new drug store is complete in every particular. The counters and selving are highly polished oak and are as handsome a set of fixtures as found anywhere in the city. Mr. Lee has put in a complete line of fresh drugs and would be pleased to serve his friends. Since coming to the city Mr. Lee has made hosts of friends who will be pleased to know of his new departure. A handsome soda fountain has been placed in the store and all first class summer drinks will be served. He carries as complete a prescription outfit as any druggist in Topeka and is a graduate of the Ohio State University and has had eight years of practical experience in the drug business. All prescriptions entrusted to his care will be carefully and accurately filled. All patrons will recieve courteous treatment and prompt attention. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to call and inspect the store. Mr. Frank Glenn will assist Mr. Lee in caring for his patrons. OUR YOUNG CONTRACTOR Topeka likes to boast of the energy and ability of its young men. During the past three years, Mr. C. A. Whitney has been in the field as a contractor and builder. He has built houses for a number of people and has given satisfaction. Mr. Whitney has just completed two houses in Oakland and secured contracts for two more. The colored people of the city will find him amply able to care for their interest and should give him a trial. The more of our patronage that goes to a colored business man the more opportunity for "employment" will be opened to our boys and girls. ieee Re a ax! tell.

The famous military band of Topeka is adding laurels to the musical talent of the race. Its public concerts are drawing large crowds, and Mr. Woods of the National Hotel is to be compli- mented for his good taste. The Commercial Club issend- ing out five thousand circulars containing a list of goods manu- factured in Topeka. These pam- phlets all go to that class of citi- zens who buy away from Topeka. It is needless to say that the Ne- gro will not be included in the list. He is always loyal. The city council of Frankfort, Ky., recently refused to grant a building permit to the colored First Baptist church to erect a church on the lot opposite the governor's mansion. Officers of the church, acting under the ad- vice of their attorney, served no- tice on all the property owners, Gov. Beckham and the city coun- cil, that they will proceed to erect a church regardless of the council's action, claiming as_the building is to be of brick a_ per- mit from the council will not be required. - The refusal of the Colored Wo- man’s Natlonal Federation to elect Mrs. Booker T. Washington president, because she attended a white reception, may have been the smart thing to do, but it don't strike us that way out here. We are, however, mighty well pleased over the election of Mrs. J. Siloma Yates. Mrs, Yates is awestern woman, and a fair sample of the class of kind we have out here for our Eastern sisters to pattern after. Mrs. Yates is a magnificent women of exceptional mentality and force ofcharacter and of a class to be placed in the lead. Mrs. Wash- ington was not dishonored in be- ing defeated by Mrs. Yates. Negro business men of Tope- ka are opening avenues of em- ployment for our boys and girls. The following is a partial list of places owned by Negroes giving employment to colored people: Tue PLainpEALER Company, 5 printers,1 pressman, 2clerks; the Chiles’ Restaurant, 1 cook, 1 waiter; Chiles’ Hotel, 1 cook, 2 waiters, 1 clerk. Adams Restaur- ant, I cook, 2 waiters. Clay O'Dell, Grocer, 4 clerks. John Ferguson, grocer, 2 clerks. Jor- dan & Patton, grocers, 1 clerk. The Topeka Pantitorium, Rey- nolds & Childers proprietors, 1 cleaner, 1 repairer, 1 pressman, 1 delivery boy. It must be borne in mind that this is but a partial list of the Negroes who are open- ing business places and making places for the boys and girls of the race. This class of men are giving practical evidence of the Kind of work that produces best results in the solution of the race problem. This kind of work knocks the political vociferator all hollow. A BURNING SHAME, The boys in Tennessee town have the pernicious habit of pro- misciously throwing water on ev- ery one their evilfancy directs them against. Mr. Roberts, the shoemaker, was kneeling in pray- er, and while addressing the Throne of Mercy, they threw a bucket of water on him.

THE election of Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates to the presidency of the National Association of Col- ored Women, js a compliment to the womanhvod ofthe West. Un- precedented as it is, the election of a western woman at this time proves clearly that the people of the East and South are awakening to the fact that brain and talent recognize no geographical boundaries, but that men and women of culture and abil- ity are just as apt to locate in one section of the country as in another. Mrs Yates represents the flower of Negro womanhood, Of unblemish- ed reputation, she possesses a strong personality and enjoys the distine- tion uf being one of most accomplish: ed women of the race. Her selec- tion graces the office she has been elected tg, and with the co operation of the women of the federation, her incumbency will mark an era in the club work of the colored women of America. ee From the New York Age.

The Times says: | “Ethiopianism is the unwieldy name that has been given to this movement, which, at present, has hardly emerged from the embryo stage, and calls itself of a religious nature. ‘Africa for the Africans’ is their watchword, and so. skillfully are the avowed objects handled that the British, with their sensitive tolerance of all creeds, are likely to be the last people to interfere with a propaganda which promises to be ten or fifteen years hence a serious menance to the peaceable develop: ment of South and Central Africa,” According to the frightened Times, the Ethiopianizing of Africa isto be accomplished through the Ethiopian Church, which has adapt- ed the Christian Créed to the re quirements of the natives. The Vimes says: “A number of wealthy Negroes of the Southern United states have banded themselves together to advance the unity of the African race—from which they are them- selves descended—by the establish- ment of what ihey entitle the Ethio- pian Church * All of this is very interesting, if true; but what is more interesting is the fact, stated by the Times, that missionaries of the Ethiopian Church have already begun to give the British trouble at several points in Central Africa, “The danger looms ahead”, says the Times, ‘and we cannot fail to realize what the the ultimate end will be.” Gettingon the Right Track.

WASHINGTON, be fore the Christian Endeavor society at Cincinnatti, urged that the colured race be judged by the best and not the worse among its members. There is a whole gospel mthe plea. We do not judge the white race by its types in the peni- tentiaries and the brothels, We take our cleanest, best men as types of Saxon development. We poiut tothe most womanly, intelli. gent and gracious of our womer a call them our types of woman: hood. Have we done this with the Negro? aii i a From the Topeka Daily Capital, Tt! Alabama constitutional con- vention is endeavoring, while it is about it, to correct several evils,in addition to the sufferage. It has ad »pted a provision for the impeach. ment of a sheriff in the event of his permitting 2 prisoner in his custody tobe lynched. By placing the re sponsibility wholly upon the sherif to protect prisoners from mob vio- lance the Alabama statesman believe they will puta stop to lynching. It is doubtful if this measure will have the desired effect, however; since it rest on the theory that lynchings as a rule are{due tothe negligence: f the sheriffs, a theory that cannot be sustaineq by the facts, nothing being more common in case of mob law than the overawing of sheriffs by superior force Another proposed remedy for lynchings is a law assess- ing severe damages against the coun- ty in which such lawlessness occurs and champions of this plan main- tain that it will prove an automatic cure forthe evil, inasmuch as tax- payers will not lay themselves liable to such heavy penalties by in- dulging in these uprisings against the law. The difficulty with this scheme is that it is not the heavy taxpayers who organize and lead lynching bees but rather the reckless and irrespon- sible class in communities, who care nothing about the tax rate. Reme- dies for lynch law will never prove effzctive until they reach the cause of the evil, which is in a love of dis- order among the vicious and a tend- ency to hysteria among all others who engage in these crimes. Iynch- ings asa rule are not long premedi- tated but are due to sndden and overwhelming excitement and anger. together with a passion for immedi- ate retribution for heinous crimes. Lynching will go out of fashion wv Southern stales, where it 1s most fre- quent, when communities become more self-controlled, and probably not before. LANDED PROPRIETOR. — Peter Vickers, Largest Colored Land ee aaa oe A i oe ee See ea eee tation of Eli Vickers, in what was then a part of Irwin, now Coffee county, Peter Vickers was born. The early years of his life were spent under the kind but positive discipline of a master whose fine executive ability has been shown, not only in the career of this ex-slave, but also in the band of sturdy, industrious sons who are now among the best, most prosperous and must honored. citizens of the county. ‘The excellence of the traming he had received was shown when, with the rest of his class, he was clothed with the rights and privileges of free- dom. He had been too much a part of a well-ordered system of industry, and had seen too clearly its results, to be satisfied with attendance upen noisy assemblages or with wasting his time with mischief-breeding idie- ness, as too many of his race were doing. He justly reasoned that the chief difference in his condition was that before he had been the servant of his master, now he was the '|servant of himself, and asked, “shall |1 serve myself less faithful than I ‘|did my master?” He decided to | make Peter asg vod a slave as he had | Eli Vickers. ] He engaged with his master, tak- ‘Jing an interest in the crop. This ']he continued to do untill he made |enough to buy a mule, when he be '|gan renting. Economy and industry soon enabled hin to get sufficiently ahead to buy him a home. Fortune continued to smile upon his labors. -|Each year saw the boundries of the {| little farm widened out, as he bought .|up centiguous lands, which he con- | verted into farms and peopled with -}tenants. He stocked his wooas with sjcattle and sheep, thus utilizing '/ the abundant Wire grass that carpet- ed the open “piney woods.” [| His purpose was cleai: “Get -|more land to make more money to >| get more land,” and his manner of achieving his purpose was very sim- -|ple; he lived at home. making ali :|that he used there. His crops were :| clear; the increase of his cattle was clear, the fleece of his constantly .| growing flock of sheep was clear, :| the proceeds ofthe le.ses of turpen ‘|tine and timber privileges was clear, and all must be put into the only {kind of investment that he under- -|stood—land. So that now, with | what he has given to his children, he ,Jhas more than twenty lots of 490 Jacres each, and the end is not jet, .|for Peter is active, hale and hearty, Jin the best of humor with himself {and every one else, and bids fair to |live many years to preach the doc- Jtrine of “judgement and industry,” |which he so thoroughly beleaves, Jand his faith in “dirt” has never Jwavered. So that should it appear that he is premature in claiming to | be the largest landowner of his race in the state, it is only a question of time when he will be. But that is not all. Besides what he has in Coffee, he has land in Ir win and Ware counties, valuable real estate in the town of Waycross, Douglas and Fitzgerald, a snag bank account and unlimited credit. While eschewing politics, Peter Vickers has always manifested con- siucrable public spititedness, readi ly joining in any measure promising the public goud. When it was proposed that this commanity subscribe $25 000 to bring the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad by Douglas, Peter promptly put down his name for $1,000 of the amount. He has endeavored to give his children the advantage of educa- tion, sending them to school in the neighborhood, and when sufficiently advanced to more pretentious insti tutions. As they have grown up, he, has settled them around him. When asked to what he ascribed his success, he replied: “Tu close at- teation to business, fair and respect fui treatment of others.” “Could otier colored men have | pa Issouri j | Wise Pacific ye : | Hi re Route | ; THE GREAT, SOUTHWEST SYSTEM, | Traveling the States of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, | | Colorado,Cansas, and the Indian Territory. : Five (5) Daily Passenger Trains are run on thisline ‘in each direction, between Kansas City and St. Louis The Famous Hot Springs | Of Arkansas | Are reached ONLY by this INES S| | uu.C.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these apurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guard, we will forfeit $50.00.

The changes caused by the fact that we are to have elections only once in two years, are only now being felt in all their force. Many knew that such a law had passed our legislature, but few thought what it would mean. Now as you go out upon the street and fail to meet that hand shake, warm and cordial; that slap upon the back, friendly and familiar; that bow and recognition as you pass, you know there is some change; you realize for the first time there is no election this year. The office-holder and seeker, campaign boss, chairman, even your own particular ward heeler are all too busy to talk, and pass you with but slight recognition. Alas the change. We have been legislated out of a job. In the case of Frank Holland and Joseph Robinson charged with assault upon Vernon Newton and Gracie Davis, in Kansas City, Mo., July 10th, and whom a mob attempted to lynch on the night of the 12th, the evidence was found insufficient to hold them and they were discharged last Friday, the 19th. The preliminary trial was held before Justice Rossa. The young man and woman confessed that they had lied as to the place of the alleged assault. It was proved by the testimony of a detective, who went to the vacant lot, that a person could not be identified as to color at the distance the young woman testified that two of the negroes were from her. A white man testified that he saw three white men following two persons, whom he believed to be this same man and woman. One of the men used threatening language.
