THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. E. H. DEAS, THE WAR HORSE, VOLUME IV. Is Setting the Lily Whites Right in South Carolina Mr. Capers, a Prime Mover in: the Fight Against the Blacks is the First one Turned Down, and His is a Lesson. Hon. E. H. Deas, chairman of the Republican Central committee, holding up the flag of his party in the old Palmetto state, this man should be recognized by the powers at Washington as the mouth-piece of that state. He has fought the battles for years before the Hon. John G. Capers was born. If Mr. Capers wants in let him say so. Let him proclaim to the world that all Negroes are classed alike by the Democrats of South Carolina; that he, Capers, is opposed to intimidation and bulldozing; that he, Capers, is in favor of free speech, equality at law, an honest ballot as well as an honest count, that the principle as enunciated in Abraham Lincoln's platform, and carried out by the late U. S. Grant, is right and ought to continue as long as the states are united. Then the Negro will do what is wise Below we give Mr. Deas' reply: "To the Editor of the News and Courier. Having noted in your esteemed journal of this date an article or interview from John G. Capers, which in its statements is altogether misleading, I ask for space to make the following statement of facts. 'The matter to which the interview refers is an official but private investigation, and I was surprised to see the same in print, but since he has made it a public matter I make this statement in reply. "He claimed to have voted for McKinley in 1896, in the town of Gaithersburg, Md, when a certificate which I hold from Thomas Vinson, member of board of supervisors of elections of Montgomery county, dated at Rockville, Md., March 7th, 1902, states that alter a residence of eighteen months in the state and precinct, that John G. Capers, of Gaithersburg, white, 31 years of age, formerly of South Carolina, made application for registration October 5, 1897, 'and that the records do not show that he voted in said district since 1897, nor in any other precinct of said county since that date.' After leaving Gaithersburg Mr. Capers moved to Rockville, Md., about six miles from Gaithersburg, In Montgomery county, which shows conclusively that he never voted for McKinley; that he lived in the Rockville precinct in 1900, and never made any attempt to vote for McKinley. It also shows that when he was appointed district attorney and national committeeman he was not a legal resident of South Carolina. "To show that he is not a man of standing I adduce the following data; "He was indicted in the United States Circuit court for the District of South Carolina, November 29, 1895, on a true bill, J. H. McGhee foreman, for pennion fraad, and we leave him to ssy to the public how he escaped the full penalty of the law in such cases made and provided. "He would have the public believe that he has personally courted the fullest investigation in order to establish his innocence of the charges that have been preferred against him before the civil service authorities at Washington, and yet admitted in that investigation yesterday, and wich is a part of the record of that investigation, that he was severely remanded for the offense which I alleged through the Attorney General of the United States. I charged him, J. H. Johnson and Micah Jenkins with conspiracy in seeking to prevent the assembling of the Republican State executive committee on the 17th of September last, in a letter bearing date Sept. 12th, 1902. Had the members followed his advice it would have resulted in breaking up the otorganization in the state. In his speech at Orangeburg on the 18th of October, 1902, he apologized for not being present at that meeting, and in the investigation yesterday he testified that he is accepting the directions of the sub-committee appointed by me on the occasion of the meeting which he tried to prevent. I have reference to the sub-committee authorized by the State committee in its recent meeting to confer with Capt. Capers oh the selection of a satisfactory candidate for the Collectorship of this port. And while he has been directed by this committee what to do in the matter he continues to dash bouquets at various other aspirants, with the assurance to the public that the selection by the committee does not necessarily mean that he will get the office. "Who the 'mouthy brothers now seeking the plum, are that he refers to in his interview of this morning I do not know, but it is clear that he refers to a colored 'broider.' He seeks to be facetious, and at the same time ingenious, when referring to 'glaring letter-heads' of 'the Republican chairman,' and their influence with officials at headquarters and prominent Northern politicians.' Are these 'Northern politicians' (I guess he means Republicaus) so different from him in their idea of the fitness of things? If not why should representations to them relating to the interests of the party, even tho' under cover of 'glaring letter heads of the Republican chairman be easy for him to stir up a great deal of trouble?' Capt. Capers said farther, in his interview: 'I can only explain his most recent outbreak here yesterday by the fact that some half dozen overturts that he made to me for recommendations to different Federal officer were all totally ignored.' I positively contradict this assertion. I have asked no favors of Capt. Capers. He has asked me to accept favors, at indicated in his letter of March 23, 1901, in which he requested me to furnish him with a list of post offices in the State where the term of office, four years, is about to expire. 'In each instance note any preference you may have.' I have other matter which I could put in evidence that would sustale my contradiction of Capt. Capers statement quoted above, but I forbear to inflict upon the public anything more at this time. E. H. DEAS. CAPERS EXPLAINS. King Solomon wanted to know if there is anything new under the sun. There is. If the Son of David had lived in these piping times of political metamorphosis and commercial expansion, standing firmly on invention and discovery of all sorts, he would not have asked the question. Now, here follows a political phenomenon of the rarest kind, as set forth by the Orangeburg correspondent of the Columbia State, in explaining the present attitude of Captain John G. Capers, the National Republican Committeeman of South Carolina, as defined by him in the Congressional Convention; The feature of the meeting was the presence and speech of United States District Attorney, John G. Capers. Mr. Capers most emphatically endorsed the party organization as now constituted—composed of white and colored—and would oppose any attempt to eliminate the Negro. He believed in a polka-dot party, a mixed party, and said that in selecting a collector of the port of Charleston TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV.14.1902. he as one of the committee of seven five colored and two white, voted for Dr. Crum. But a white man had been selected all the same, and by the votes of the colored men on the committee. He did not say who had been selected, but it is believed to be R. R. Tolbert. Mr. Capers pledges himself to have A. D. Webster reappointed postmaster here, saying he would walk from Charlestown to Washington if necessary to accomplish that end. He is no longer to be regarded as the leader of a white Republican party for this State, but has placed himself squarely within the ranks of the old party, with the colored vote largely in the majority. Captain Capers has been heretofore standing out for a Lilywhite party in South Carolina, and we have hammered him to the best of our ability, but, if his Orangeburg speech is to stand as his political faith for the future he can count on our support and sympathy. There are about twelve candidates for the position of collector of customs for Charleston, but we believe that the president will designate Dr. Crum, although the state committee has endorsed Mr. R. R. Tolbert. Dr. Frost is the best backed Democrat in the race, but just why a South Carolina Democrat should want a job, or should seek for one under a Republican administration, is one of the new things not dreamed of in the philosophy of King Solomon. SELLS @ DOWNS Tuesday afternoon, the Sells & Downs circus arrived in Topeka from Texas, where they closed the season last Saturday night. They are quartered at the fair grounds, where they will winter. Messrs. Sells & Downs have one of the best aggregations of its kind on the road and have met with unlimited success. The Topeka people are glad to welcome Billy Sells back to the home of his boyhood. Mr. Sells is progressive, a valuable citizen and a gentleman of the highest type. Joseph Smith and "Sage" Northington, Topeka boys, who were musicians with the show, arrived Sunday afternoon. Both were injured in the Oklahoma wreck and tell a thrilling story of how it happened. They were highly pleased with the show business, but say they would rather Mr. Sells would cut Orange, Texas, off his route. In speaking of the show in general Joseph Smith said: "Messrs. Sells & Downs are the most honorable and fair gentlemen we have ever come in contact with. They pay promptly, and when the show closed each man had every dollar that was due him. I hope to see Mr. Sells take a full colored band out of Topeka, next season, for the boys will be treated fairly and honorably. I expect to go with them again next season, and all that will prevent will be Mr. Sells refusing to let me go." THE ORDER OF TWELVE Chief Grand Mentor, Frank Wilson, of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, was in Topeka last week. He visited Sunny Side Temple No 59 and Macedonia Tabernacle No 83 North Topeka. He found them prosperous and harmony prevailing. He reports five deaths since the last Grand Session and the treasury is able to pay all endowments. All reports must be sent in by Dec. 1st. is the instruction he wishes strictly carried out. Sir Wilson is making this Order one of the strongest in the state; the largest membership of any secret body of the race in Kansas. He keeps a vigilant eye on makings of Temples, Tabernacles and Tents. He has the sole right for all regalias, 333 and 777, pins, books and other lodge paraphernalia for sale. When wanting anything in that line write him or Mrs. Emma Gaines, Grand High Preceptress, 1170 Filmore street. The minutes are now ready and will be sent out in a few days. All the printing for this grand Order is done by colored printers. They patronize their own race strictly. Long live the Order. TIMELY ADVICE. Past Grand Master Dennis A. Jones Talks. Below we publish a letter from ExGrand Master Dennis Jones which is timely. We hope that the members of the order will refrain from doing anything rash but follow the advise of Past-Grand Master D. A. Jones and not allow themselves to grow despondent at the action of some who wants to rule or ruin. We admit that the same parties enacted both laws for the Eastern star and Prince Hall without the consent of the bodies. Wait until the next meeting. The brothers have a right to feel agrieved at the tyrannical way business has gone. When one assumes to carry all the wisdom for an organized body of our seven-hundred men without consultation he will be confronted with more than he expects. To run two grand bodies under one head can't be done: To the Masons of the Most: Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kansas and Jurisdictions, especially to those who attended the Twenty-Seventh Annual Session just closed at Kansas City, Kas: There was a rumor current upon the streets of Kansas City, Kas, that a great deal of dissatisfaction existed among the delegates and representatives and attending Masons on account of certain things that took place and the way the business of the Grand Lodge was conducted. Rumor has it that a Convention of the Masons of the Jurisdiction is soon to be called for the purpose of reviewing and discussing the actions of those responsible for the wholesale dissatisfaction that now exists in the minds of those who were fortunate enough to attend the Grand Session. Now, dear brethren, let me admonish you to desist from any such a notion of calling a convention of the many dissatisfied Masons of the Jurisdiction for any purpose, for no good can come out of such a convention, because, if you feel that you have not had a fair, square deal, the calling of a Masonic Convention for review and discussion would not be the proper way to get a deal that you would consider square and fair. Again, my dear brother, let me advise you the way out in this matter, which is for all of you to wait with time and patience until the Grand Lodge assembles at Emporia in August, 1903. Then and there, perhaps, you will be allowed to make known your grievances and have an opportunity to represent your constituency like men, and like Masons. I am aware of the fact that everything was not of the most harmonious nature, and that some of you were no doubt very badly disappointed in the way some of the business was transacted. I am also aware of the fact that no deliberative body of men ever transact all the business of their convention to the utter satisfaction of all who participated. I am now, as I have always been, striving with all my might to upbuild, strengthen and advance the cause of Masonry throughout all the land, but more especially throughout this Grand and fast advancing Jurisdiction, Let us dwell together as brethren, and walk and act as upright and circumspect as is possible for us to do, for peace and harmony are the life, health and strength of all institutions, and should be of ours, which is so grand and far reaching. Now, in conclusion, let me again admonish you to desist from your intention of calling a convention, for those of us who survive will have an opportunity to meet at the Twenty-Eighth Annual session in Emporia, in the year 1903. Aunty Lewis. According to the Kansas City Journal, which has lately been investigating the old age records, presented by various Kansas towns, Ottawa has the credit of being the home of the oldest person in Kansas. Lewis, the well known colored woman who lives at 117 North Poplar. Aunty Lewis claims to be 117 years old, and it has been noted that for a good many years past she has been registering at the city elections in accordance with this idea of the year of her birth. The Journal of recent date publishes a photograph of the old lady, together with an extended article about her. Mrs. Mehala Lewis, commonly known as "Anny Lewis, has long been considered the oldest person in Ottawa. She has done many a day's work in the kitchens of the white folks. "Aunty" Lewis is a Negro, one of the black kind. She was a slave from her birth until '63, when she was freed. She does not know her age exactly, but declares she is at least 117 years old. Her memory which is remarkable, dates back to Richmond, Va, at the time George Washington was vet living. She declares she remembers Washington in Richmond, and that he ate dinner at Aunt Kate Smith's whose slave she was. "Aunty Lewis cannot read, but she always recognizes the picture of Washington when she sees it. "I see him in my dreams," she says when talking about him. While "Aunty Lewis never went to school a day in her life, and is ignorant as to book knowledge, she has picked up much information during her long life. Her language is good. On being asked to explain how she talked so nearly correct, she said that, although she was sold into slavery twice, she was allowed to associate with the white folks and supposed that she learned from them. "Aunty" Lewis was born in Richmond, Va. She was the daughter of slave parents. Her parents were sold from her when she was six years of age and she never heard from them again. At the age of fifteen years, she with 100 other slaves was sold down the river. She was the first of the number to be sold. She tells this with some degree of pride. She was taken to New Orleans, where she was kept for four or five years, or until the cholera was raging in that city, when she was sold 550 miles down Red river, and thence to Shreveport. There she was permitted to remain until 1862, when she was turned loose. She went to New Orleans after she was freed, where she remained three years. She was married to a slave while in Shreveport. Her husband joined the federal forces and remained in the war to the close. With money he saved in the army they bought forty acres of land near Bay St. Louis. They afterwards traded this for more land, but were finally swindled out of it all. Mr. Lewis died in 1865, Mrs. Lewis left the South twenty-two years ago and came to Kansas. She has lived in Ottawa most of that time. She draws a pension of $8 per month. Her many white friends see that she does not suffer for anything. She lives alone in a little hut. Its sole occupant is entirely blind in one eye and almost sightless in the other. She walks with a cane, the result of a broken hip bone, received on falling from a horse just after the war. Her collar bone was broken at the same time and she did not receive proper treatment. "Aunty" Lewis is a stalwart Republican and a devout Christian, never fails to vote for city officers and never fails to give the Lord the credit for her long lease on life. She is able to hobble around with the assistance of a cane. Her hearing is yet good and her health is fair. She never complains, but puts her trust in the Lord and her white friends. Justice Cuts Strange Caprices An old white man convicted of rape was allowed by a Boulder judge to escape with a light sentence on account of his years. The virtue of womanhood is then a matter of less concern where the culprit is old enough to know better. The 17-year old Porter boy who was burned to death two years ago in this state is then a worse criminal than this aged friend because he was not yet of the years of discretion. Justice cuts strange caprices sometimes, but this is the strangest of all. And a Negro was burned down South the same week for rape, and another lycheed for attempting it. Is it possible that Justice is also color blind? THE FACTS IN THE CASE Below we publish an editorial from last Sunday's Capital, coupled with a few statements concerning the attitude of Southern white girls towards Miss Portia Washington, the daughter of Prof. Booker T., of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial school. Here is something that is food for our President. The facts contained in the article below are sufficient to prove to him or any other fair minded man that it makes but little difference in the South how wealthy, how intelligent, how polite, or how much education a Negro may have, he is classed with the lowest Negro in the South—in fact the low Negro has the best of it. No sooner than a Negro of fair intelligence begins to act a man, he is hooted and jeered, and told that he is too smart. Let Mr. Washington and President Roosevelt with their daughters start from washington, D. G, en route to the great school in Alabama tutored by Prof. Washington, and no sooner than the line of a Southern state is reached, where a change of cars takes place, Mr. Washington and his daughter who had just dined with the President would be informed that their car was up front. Upon entering what would they find? A fellow ragged and dirty, a lady of culture and well dressed, another chewing snuff and hollowing, and others smoking, while another may have his chickens. A port on of the car is partitioned off for a smoking room for white men. The President could come in and take a smoke, while the Professor would be compelled to smoke in the coach with the ladies. The Chief Executive could poke his head in the door and say, "Hello Professor, how goes it?" The Professor would doubtless remark, "Pretty tough." Upon reaching Tuskegee they would be met with a carriage and all ride together to the school, all eat together and nothing would be thought of it. Returning to Washington, the President would say the colored people are doing well and are solving the race problem by education. Yet he, himself, dined an educated colored man and could not ride in the same coach with him on account of his color. THE PLAINDEALER will say that the Negro wants equality at the ballot box, at law, a free speech and honest interpretation of the law. Now the Presidents duty is to punch up his interstate commerce commission on Jim Crow car scandals by making rules, whereby, the discrimination against respectable people will be abolished. Give us the Crumpacker bill or the Federal Election bill, then justice will be meet out to all alike. We are sorry for our young Southern white girls who were nursed by black mammies and afterwards snubbed these same mammies children. It is our hope that in the future they will learn the shame of it and govern themselves better: The Booker Washington family continues to cause more discussion on the race question than the political phases of the question such as the actual disfranchisement throughout the South. First, it was Prof. Washington as the guest of the President at dinner, after that his presence as the guest of Yale university at its bicentennial, and now it is the with-drawal of Prof. Washington's daughter, Portia, from Wellesley college, where she had been a student. The facts in the latest gossip concerning the Washington family do not seem to be disputed. Southern papers giving the same report as those of the North. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says of Miss Washington's withdrawal from the college: "It was not known publicly until the end of last week that she had quitted that ulta-fashionable school for young women. The generally accepted story is that she had to go, "deficiency in music" being the alleged reason of the management for her departure. In reality, that was merely an excuse, not a reason. NUMBER 44. Booker T. Washington's Daughter Forced to Leave School on Account of Southern Race Prejudice. She is an Intelligent Young Lady, But Must Submit to Southern Cussedness. cause of a great deal of concern on the part of the persons who conduct that school. 'She has been a thorn in the side of the faculty', as the saying goes, mainly, it seems because the numerous young Southern white women there refused absolutely to associate with her, and she wrote for publication certian signed articles, which, though entirely creditable in substance and in detail, were dated at Wellesley. Seeing the Southern girls arranged against her, Northern girls took her side, and made a chum of her. Thus, in a way, and school was divided into two forces hostile to each other and subversive of the general good. So runs the gossip. "As for the Negro girl, her conduct throughout all the embarrassment is acknowledged on all sides to have been most admirable. She never sought to force herself upon any of her fellow students, but with commendable modesty and entire unobtrusiveness endeavored to pursue her studies as best she could. She is now a pupil in another excellent but less pretentious school, near Wellesley." The conduct of the Southern girl in ostracising her on account of her color in according to Southern standard, and in taking her up and openly avowing their sympathy with her position, the northern girls will be equally commended by this section. Throughout the trying ordeal this young colored girl proves herself her distinguished father's "own daughter". She went quietly about her work, won the admiration of all sides by her dignified demeanor, and when she found that her presence was causing disturbance to the faculty and the discipline of the college she retired from it without making a scene or attempting to create sympathy with the public. From first to last not a word has been heard from Booker Washington. He has been as silent as during the excited controversy over his dining with President Roosevelt. Booker Washington is not only the most eminent citizen in the South; he is teaching the whole country some lessons in a new sort of good breeding based on the scriptural description of charity which vaunteth not itself, endureth all things, seetheth not its own, and doth not behave itself unseemly. COTTCN GROWING The movement to further cotton growing in British colonies is rapidly developing, and the scheme outlined in the prospects of the New Cotton Fields, Limited, is of a very encouraging and hopeful character. For some times past the cotton spinners of Lancashire have felt the hardship of being entirely dependent upon America for their cotton supplies, and have readily identified themselves with a movement for cultivating new cotton fields within the British colonies. Since the success of the Togo Land Exposition, which amply demonstrated the possibilities of economical development of cotton in West Africa, a good deal of attention has naturally been directed to the question of growing cotton in the British West African colonies. With the object of proving that by the use of trained colored labor, and by proper methods of cultivation and treatment, a great commercial success can be made of cotton growing in Africa the Hon. H. F. Downing has undertaken the management of the New Cotton Fields Limited, and will organize an expedition to proceed to West Africa in order to examine and report upon certain known areas likely to produce the most profitable results. In a recent chat which Mr. Downing had with Sir Charles King Harman, the Governor of Sierra Leone, an opportunity was afforded Mr. Downing for the discussion of his scheme, to which the Governor expressed his warm approval and support. It is satisfactory to learn that the New Cotton Fields Exposition which is to be equipped at an early date, will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Downing, the managing director, whose intimate knowledge and experience of West Africa and its various peoples places him in a somewhat unique position for the successful accomplishment of a scheme which possesses great financial and political possibilities.

They are intelli- gent and progressive. They’ strive to Leep pace with the ever changing political issue submite- ed to the citizens. The state has just closed one of the most interesting political struggle known to its history. We are once more to the place from which we were driven by the combined whorts of Dem-Popu- lism in 1890. By dint of hard fighting, Kansas has been re- sponsibility for guidance in the affairs of the state rests entirely upon the shoulders of the Repub- lican party. Along witha Re- publican State ticket, many counties, which have presisted in clinging to the bygone isms of “Jong whiskersand bare shanks" have come home to the grand old party. Besides this, we will send to our National Congress a full delegation of Republican members of the lower house, and so soon as the state legislature convenes in January next, a Re- publican successor to Hon. W. A. Harris will be elected to the United States Senate. In the race for United States Senator, there are three prominent citi- zens mentioned; Hon. Charles Curtis, Governor W. E. Stanley and Hon, W. A. Calderhead. Any one of these gentlemen would make an acceptable man for the place. Two, Hon. Chas. Curtis and Governor Stanley, have through their friends, made astrong canvass for the place. Hon. W. aA. Calderhead ha: been content to work within hi: own district. All three are very friendly to our people. “the re cord of Hon. Chas. Curtis ha been so often talked about it these columns, that he needs n extended notice at this time During the ten years, that he ha served the people of Kansas it the national Congress he ha’ always manifested deep interes in the promotion of the best in terest of our people, Man: deserving Negro soldier or thei . widow are today on our pensio Yoll because of the zeal and. ene: gy of this young man. No les worthy of the confidence an esteem of our people is his excel Jency Governor Stanley. Fro the beginning of his political cz reer he has been mindful of th needs of our people. To h efforts as much as any other pe: son is the establishment of tt Quindaro Industrial School az this liberal appropriation for tl Topeka Industrial School. F the success of these institutio1 he has labored unselfishly ar earnestly. If the leaders of th Republican party see fit 30 el vate Governor Stanley to tl United States Senate, one mo man will be put there who w not tolerate the idiotic mout! ings of a South Carolinian cyclo, delegation, who has been prom- inently identified with all legis- lation, touching pensions for our ex-soldiers and sailors. He has made an accepted represenative andcould make a good Senator. The selection of either of these gentlemen would add to luster of the state. The Next Campaign, It was hoped that the adop- tion of the amendment to the constitution relating to biennial elections, would give more time for the discussion of business matters, especially the very im portant question of securing more favorable freight rates for Tope- ka. We wondersometimes what would happen, if the aggregation of Topekans, who put in their time talking politics, would put their together to do something towards developing the commer- cial interest of this the best town inthe world. Already the poli- ticlans are actively bunting for sacrifices for the mayoralty altar. ix-Mayor Hughes who got in on the ground floor a year ago, through the kindly offices of the Law and order League, and the womens vote, has expressed a willingness to go in again on any old platform, just soit require: no subscribing toa dry-as-dust policy.

We hope for the better, and that he will be spared to finish his work on earth.

Shaffer, presiding bishop of the district, invited Rev. Dr. Snelson, of San Francisco, Cal., who sustains a long and honorable record as a church rescuer, to the work. Dr. Snelson arrived four weeks ago, and has applied himself to the task before him. During the past twelve years the congregation has labored under this debt, aggregating nearly $15,000, for all maining a mortgage of $5,600, interest $336, insurance $109, amountiag to a little more than $6,000. The above liabilities have been divided into 300 shares of $20 each, for which one supreme effort is now being made. Each officer and member and friend has been assessed one share and the citizens of Topeka are urged sincerely to help the congregation. Dr. Suelson has arranged a "grand jubilee celebration," commencing Sabbath, November 30, and continuing fifteen days. in which enthusiastic interest has been awakened by all the colored population. The jubilee program includes a grand jubilee cantata by the choir, entitled "Jepta's Daughter," in which one hundred voices will be employed; also, a grand educational rally, in which State School Superintendents and their chiefs, Frand Wilson and Prof. W. T. Vernon, will be the chief speakers. The Ladies' Sewing circle will render a drama; historical and memorial tablets will be unveiled. The Coterie and Capital City club will have an evening and the Professional and Metropolitan clubs another night. All Masonic chapters, Odd Fellows, Benevolent Daughters of Liberty, the Pythian Knights, G. A. R. posts, will take one evening. There will be a jubilee orator, jubilee essayest, jubilee declaimer, jubilee solo, jubilee recitation, jubilee poet and poetess, pianist, lady essayist, jubilee historian, memorial enologist and other very interesting features. A jubilee queen is being selected at five cents a vote and about twenty-five persons are now in the race, put forward by their several friends. There will be fourteen ladies elected also for the royal court who will take part in the coronation ceremonies. Every person filling a prominent post will raise a $20 share. Each Sabbath school class is raising one share, also each trustee, steward, class leader, stewardess, teacher and member of the church. Shiloh Baptist church will render one service, so will First African Baptist church. B. street Baptist church and others will help. A general appeal is being made to the white citizens to aid in this great struggle to clear the debt. Three hundred shares of $20 each will cancel the debt, and the effort is worthy of the support and co-operation of everyone. The Farmers Convention has gone into history. The following is a short account of it: "One of the finest meetings ever held in Missouri by good, sensible Negroes was the Farmers convention held yesterday in the assembly hall of Lincoln Institute.
