Historical Society DEKA PLAINDEALER Now That Senator Curtis Has Endorsed Wagstaff, it Looks Like Moving Day for Gov. Stubbs BACK TO THE TALL UNCUT! VOLUME XII. Hon. N. C. Crews, Special Ageut U. S. Department of Agriculture, Finds the Negro Farmer Rolling in Prosperity---The Place to Solve the Race Problem. We have heard much of the prosperity of the Negro farmers of Old Pike county, so we declined to pay a visit there to study the conditions for ourselves and get the story of their struggles, self-denial and successes from their own lips. We left Kansas City at eight a.m. March 17th and arrived at Louisiana at three p.m. We were met by Hon Charles P. Covington, the leading colored citizen of the town, who escorted us to his home for the evening. While here we had the opportunity of visiting the special agr. cultural train sent out by the state university for the purpose of arousing interest among the white people particularly relative to cultivation of the soil, and we heard some excellent lectures by able and instructive speakers during the train's stop at the station. Mr. Covington said the bulk of the Negro farmers lived over in the east end of the country near Frankfort, so the next morning we started for Frankfort. On arriving there we were met by Mr. Martin, the leading barber of the town and were made welcome by him until the arrival in town of our old friend Thos Williams, one of the best known and most prosperous Negro farmers in Missouri, who took us to his home about two miles from town as his guest during our stay. Brother Williams is the father of Prof. Charles G. Williams, principal of the school of Boonville, and Past Grand Master of Masons and who has one of the best farms in the state, as well as several nice cottages in Frankfort. "Uncle Tom," as his friends call him, told us how in 1867 after he had worked faithfully for his former master for a whole season for a coat and a small wage, that when the time came for payment his master refused to give him the coat because he would not agree to work another year for the magnificent sum of $50 for himself and wife He left there with eight dollars in his pocket—no coat and the temperature 20 degrees below zero. But he was blessed with a brave and true companion, who shared his privations without nourur or complaint and they went out resolved to make a home for themselves, and by rigid economy and diligent striving they can now in their old age look back over a well spent and successful career. 'Urcle Tom' has 240 acres for which he has been offered $22,000 Mrs. Williams owns eighty acres in her own name adjoining their 240. Their son, 320 acres of as fine land as we have seen in Missouri, with two nice houses upon it, one of which is kept ready for his family at all times and which they occupy when school closes until it begins in the fall. Prof. Williams also owns a beautiful home in Boonville where he teaches, and last year paid $7,500 cash for an elegant residence on Wabash avenue in the city of Chicago. "Uncle Tom's sister, Mrs Penke, TOPEKA. KANS. owns 124 acres of land adjoining his farm tree from incumbrance. Mrs. Williams, who is one of the sweetest old ladies we have ever met, makes all her quilts, carpets, soap, lye, hominy, preservee, canned fruits, lard, et cetera, and is as active as many girls of twenty and is justly proud of her devoted husband and brilliant son. She feeds over 600 chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, and collects twenty-two dozen eggs daily. She has a full blood Jersey that gives five and one half gallons of milk per day. She makes and sells about eighty-six pounds of butter weekly. They have twenty two horses, about eighteen head of cattle and eighty hogs, and the finest barn in Pike county, built built from lumber cut off their own land and all kinds of modern machinery. Mrs. Williams showed us through the smoke house and here they have stored over 3000 pounds of hams and bacon and about 400 pounds of the purest and whitest of lard you ever saw, and when they want to eat they don't have to run down to the store and get a nickel's worth or a dime's worth of this or that before they can dine. The next morning Brother Williams hitched up one of his teams and started with us to visit the Negro farmers of the county. We met J. W. Peake, who owns ninety-one acres of Salt River bottom and M Reddin, who has sixty acres and also Mrs. Hodge, who owns sixty acres and has a rich little farm. He then took us over to visit one ```markdown ``` BRADFORD MILLER HALL DEDICATED. Exercises were held Wednesday afternoon, April 11th at the Industrial and Educational Institute, dedicating the new academe building to us at the Bradford Millia Hall. The amount of $17 000 was appropriated for its erection by the Legislature. The building is complete in every detail. The extent of which it was built was quoted within two hundred yards of the site and upon the Instructor's premises. It is modern throughout and contains eight class rooms, two music rooms, reading room, library and an ammunition with a heating capacity of 650, and also has its own heating plant as well as lighting and ventilating system. The equipment and apparatus are the best that could be obtained. The Institute land, under the direction of Prof. H. G. Brown played a very creditable concert preceding the exercise. The meeting was provided over by Hon. John M. Wright, deputy county treasurer. Among the principal speakers were Gov. Stubbs, Mr. Fred M. Stone, Bark Commissioner Joseph N. Dolley and Mr. J. H. Washington, brother of Booker T. and superintendent of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Stone spoke in the highest terms of the late Bradford Miller and his devotion and interest in the school, stating that his greatest hope and ambition was to have the new hall completed. His remarks as to the educational training of the colored youth were very ecouraging. Governor Stubbs with his usual over-worked speech, advised the colored youth to go to the farm. He said that the only salvation for the Negro was for him to own property, accumulate wealth and be able to loan the white man money instead of borrowing from him. Several musical numbers were creditably rendered by the Institute (Oleo Club and Mrs. John M. Wright. After the exercises, President W. R. Carter took great pleasure in showing the many visitors through the building and inspecting the work of the industrial departments. Each department had a very credible exhibit of work done by the students. Special mention is due the carpentry department under the supervision of Mr. E. P. Rowell. Eight artistically designed mission tables were made by the boys of this department. The souvenirs presented were neatly designed cards, the handiwork of the printing department, with a cut of the new building and a short historical sketch of the school. of the most interesting characters we have ever met, Rufus Blackwell, 73 years of age, who with his children, Henry, Squire and Ida, who lives about eight miles northeast of Frankfort. Unable to read or write, without a dollar when he was set free, old Uncle Rufus set out to accomplish something and how well he has succeeded is proven by the fact that he owns 800 acres of the best land in Pike county, worth easily $ 00 per acre. He gave to his sons, Henry and Squire, ten years ago, seventy acres each for their faithful devotion to him, and now Henry owns by additional purchase 102 acres and Squire, 222, making over a thousand acres owned by these quiet, unassuming Negro farmers of one family in Pike county. The stories of the generosity of old Rutus Blackwell to the less fortunate of his race read like a romance and the Negroes of Pike count say he has given hundreds of dollars to help the poor and needy among them. They marketed last fall 2853 bushels of wheat at $1 12 per bushel, sold sixty steers, about 130 hogs and have about 2 000 bushels of oorn on hand. They have six houses upon their land for themselves and the families of their helpers and the cashier of the bank of Frankfort told me that their combined check was good for $100 000 at sight. After a tour of inspection and a bounteous dinner at the home of Henry Blackwell, left for Hannibal to spend Sunday with our good friend, Prof. J. H. Pelham, principal of the best Negro school in Mississippi, and for many years grand master and now grand secretary of Negro Masons. Colored men, should not this in sp.re us to get back to the farm RIDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1910. where we have an equal chance with all men if we are active and industrious? NELSON C. CREWS. Special Agent U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. THE WAGSTAFF DEMONSTRATOIN Hundreds of Businessa Men, ard Farmers Raise Their Voice Against Stubbs. The launching of the Wagstaff gubernatorial campaign in Topeka yesterday plainly told that the people are done with the Stubbs method of doing things. Two ex-governors, Bailey and Stanley sounded the key note that will rally every true Republican under the Wagstaff banner. It was one of the most representative gatherings that ever assembled in Topeka, and they are in dead earnest. A special train from the enthrastic Third district arrived about 1 o'clock bringing about three hundred delegates, and a band of forty pieces. In this bunch was the joval, smiling face of Tom Wagstaff, the next governor of Kansas. About fifteen hundred people heard him speak at the Masonic Temple and all are convinced that he is the proper man to relieve Governor Stubbs of his job. DENVER, COLORADO. The jolliest affair of the year was a birthday surprise party NUMBER 16 Day for Gov. Stubbs given by Mrs. George Smith, assisted by Mrs. Jesse Thrower, Ray Clark and A. Wayman Ward, complimentary to Willis Barber. Mr. Barber was indeed surprised and blanketed by the assailants. Then he was given a "warm" reception by both the young men and the young ladies. After a romp on the lawn, the hostess served a three course lunch. Then the guests almost had to be forced to depart. The out-of-town guests were, Drs. Taylor and Hayden, of Meharry and Miss Givens, of Texas. Hiram Gash has returned after an extensive visit to Chicago and other Eastern points. The girls are all smiles. Ray Clark left Wednesday for South Dakota to engage in business. Y. M. C. A. is expecting a visit from National Secretary Moreland sometime this month, and a great meeting is being planned. The Eutopian club party was a scene of great splendor last Thursday night. The club spared no efforts to make the affair one of its best and to say that it was all that heart could wish is putting it mildly. A. G. Fallings is the president. Spring is coming and already many visitors have arrived to enjoy the rare beauties and sunshine of Colorado. The Inter-graduate Association is already making extensive preparations to entertain the graduates of the various schools in June. THE PASSING OF MR. MOORE. Colorado Springs Loses an Excellent Citizen. The many friends of Mr. Joseph Moore will be pained to Lear of his death, which occurred suddenly at Hot Springs, Ark. The body was brought to this city Tuesday for burial. Mrs Rose Moore, wife of the deceased, who was in California on a visit, arrived Wednesday. The deceased was the proprietor of a lunch room. He was a good, honest, business like man, a true friend and a devoted husband, well liked by all who knew him. The Prairie man, with the many friends, extends useful sympathy to the deceased family.

M'Neal is planning to try on the voters in the First congressional district. The Kansas City Star, a newspaper advocating the nomination of McNeal, published an article from Topeka Friday evening, telling that M'Neal would use a photograph and caption must, but it did not give the full details. M'Nal has had very little success so far in drawing a crowd and most Republicans show a disposition to leave his restings before he is half through with speech. At the same time he has noticed patent medicine fakers talking to large crowds, and after closely studying their methods has decided to emulate them. M'Neal has procured a phonograph with a large brass megaphone attachment, that will make an ordinary circus calliope sound like a weak alto in a village choir in comparison, which he proposes to mount on a wagon or automobile and then start out touring the country. The campaign journey will be one of pleasure and triumph. The phonegraph will alternate with canned music and speeches and an effort will be made to have selections that will suit everyone. The old anti-expansion canned speech first tried by Bryan, will be used frequently, especially while traveling in Democratic precincts. It will be accompanied by free trade songs. In approaching Republican strongholds, the program will be changed to Taft music and prosperity oratory. On reaching a town the real novelty will be put on. Instead of daubing his face with lamp black and pounding a tambourine, M'Neal will dress up as a clown and a parade will be made, up and down the streets, the phonogroph playing canned music all the while. When a crowd is attracted speeches will be run off while the candidate does the handshaking act, incidentally passing out opiates and political salve. The speech of the candidate, the best, will be last. Announcement will be made that the speech will not be long and M'Neal feels that it will be an ungrateful crowd that will not stay five minutes to hear him after the extraordinary efforts to amuse and entertain them. An attempt was made to keep it secret but it is learned that Jefferson will be the first county favored with this new and unique method of campaigning. W. V. Ingham, the Republican candidate for treasurer of Atchison county, does not belong to any political ring. He has not asked the political boss to let him run on the Republican ticket and he is aware of his anger because he places his chances first before the Republican voters of Atchison county who have grown tired of one or two men always naming who they shall vote for in the party. This fight within the party will be carried to every Republican to chose between the nomination of a true and tried Republican and one who has deserted the party for the last three years. Any sensible man ought to know the results Fourteen Republican voters by chance were talking about the office of treasurer Saturday on Commercial street and twelve of them said they would never vote for any man fresh from assisting in killing his own party ticket on the party he claims. The other two were undecided and said the Democratic deputy county treasurer was a nice man and that they had promised to vote for him for Republican county treasurer but the more they thought about his unwise act in officially flirting on both sides, the more they were undecided whether or not they will give him their support. It is a safe bet that W. V. Ingham will get all fourteen of these votes. The colored men are now talking politics like white men. They are asking who is this man and who is that one? WEWOKA, OKLA.

I wish to call the attention of all the cooks and porters on the various railways to the great need of n organization among us by which to protect each other. There should be a grand organization among us as there is among other men, by which we could help each her when sick or too old to follow our regular vocations. One dollar a month would be sufficient to pay eight or ten dollars a week to those who might be in need of assistance, and this dollar is made by every porter and cook every month in the form of tips, and practically thrown away. Let us get together on a proposition of this kind while we can. I know that some will say they have been beaten out of money, and all that, but we could require good bonds from those who handle the money and thus make ourselves secure. All who wish to help do something along this line please write me at once and try to meet me in Topeka, Kansas, June 20, 1910. A LOST SON.
