DALE, Candidate for the Nomination of .. COMMISSIONER COFFFYVILLE, KAS, Yous Support Respectfully Soli- cited at Primary March 27. FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1911. South Carolina has outdone all the states in the Union and all other communities in the civilized and uncivilized world in selecting an ass and a knave for governor. Below is a sample of what he is and what the people may expect The Charleston Messenger says: "Over seven thousand Negro notary public in the state of South Carolina have been turned down by Governor Blerse. He has notified all of the clerks of court in the state not to register the name of a Negro as a notary public, and has threatened to take off every political head that sets upon the shoulders of a Negro." Sourh Carolina will never move up in the galaxy of her progressive sister states until such men as Tillman and Blease are relegated to the rear. No loud mothed, ignorant, blather-skite can ever lead a people. The sooner the decent white people of South Carolina take hold of the reigns of government the better it will be for all. No honest, Christian geetleman would resort to the disreputable method adopted by Governor Blease. The colored people have business to transact, and why not have men of their race to act for them? The Governor must be on the verge of going to the mad house or seeking cheap notoriety. Calhoun, Hampton, Aiken and men of that stripe never went out of their way to throw stones in the path of the Negro. They were too busy measuring arms with men whom they considered to be their equal. Blease cannot coe with the strong brainy men of his own race hence he turns his attention to the poor, defenseless blacks to make capital for his misguided soul. May the God of angenever visit him and forever and eternally damn him for the mean things done his colored constituents. If he continues his present gorl, let the whole South in in praying that's me calm in my will befall him.

Washington: The White House, Washington, March 21, 1911. My Dear Doctor Washington: I am greatly distressed at your misfortune, and I hasten to write you of my sympathy, my hope that you will soon recover from the wounds inflicted by insane suspicion or viciousness, and of my confidence in your integrity and morality of character and in your highest usefulness to your race and to all the people of this country. It would be a nation's loss if this untoward incident in any way impaired your great power for good in the solution of one of the most difficult problems before us.

Dupree were shocked and surprised at the news of his death which occurred at five o'clock at Saint Francis hospital. He had been ailing for some time, but none of his friends looked upon it as being serious till Saturday, when he was compelled to enter the hospital "Uncle George," as he was called by his intimate friends, was one of the most widely known men in Topeka. He was born in La Fayette County, Tenn., and settled in this city in the early eighties and had charge of laying the pipe line for Topeka's water system. He was an active member of t. John's A. M E. church, until a few years ago, when he ceased to attend regularly. He always paid his yearly assessment and professed a faith in the teachings of the lowly Nazarene We all have our faults and no matter slight, they are magnified more than a mountain of good, and thus many good things accomplished by Mr. Dupree have been overlooked. He was a bighearted, public spirited man—one who had an abiding faith in the ability of his race, and was always ready to dig down deep into his pocket and contribute liberally to any thing that meant advancement and progress. He believed in the ability of teachers or his own race, and was one of the first in Tupaka to put his children in Western University. He was a liberal contributor to the Y M C. A., and all other institutions that mean good. He was a promoter of athletic sports and financial a baseball team and fitted up a nice park where athletes of color could have an opportunity to show their skill and the public what was really in them Unlettered though he was, he was a good business man—among a large amount of good property he was contemplating the erection of a handsome brick building on his land at 107 Kansas avenue at the time of his denise. He is in vival by two daughters who brothers and mum runs to sister and friends. Mr Dupree has played his part on the stage of it — the curtain has been rung down on a scene of honest, conscientious endeavor to do what he believed right, fair and just, towns down a fellow man. The golden rule was his guiding star and he answered to it strictly. Fair rat services will be held Sunday afternoon from St. John A. M. E. church. Interment in Topska cemetery. . o . o . o his ash!

The legislature has been very generous to our institution, making ample provision for current expenses and maintenance for his next two years, also providing another dormitory for young women and installation of electric lights in all buildings and the grounds the erection of a tank and tower for water supply and for the construction of a new barn. There many improvements will enable us to render much more efficient service and to take care of our rapidly growing student body. Miss Cecilia H. Holloway, New York, N.

Mr. Nick Chiles. Topeka, Kau. Dear Editor: I will express my thoughts toward our Father's ministers, as the Lord told him to go and teach all nations. Teach them to observe all things and one thing he requests them to do every Sabbath day, teach us as our Father taught his little children at home. Hospitality, honesty and the principles of charity. This is what we need handed down every Sabbath to the nation. Read Luke 14; it will teach you how to care for the poor. We have so many ministers who are not looking direct, but catching and grasping as a drowning man. Now, Dear Editor, I have often told you I would send you an issue. I hope that you will not throw this in your waste basket, nor class it as a production of an evil spirit. R. R. A. Iola. Kansas. OSAGE CITY, KAN. Mrs. J. Q.

Died March 10th, 1911, at the age of 17 years, 11 months and 8 days. She professed religion and was baptized at the only age of seven years, and had been a faithful and time Christian until the Lord called her to come up higher. She told her mother she wanted to go home, and on the beautiful new house she saw prepared for her. She also said "I am so well pleased with the new house. How beautiful it is." Also telling her sisters she wanted to go higher, asking them to lend her on, that she was going higher. Monday morning, she called her sister to the bed and asked her to remove her ring. What removing the ring she looked up at her and said: "I don't that a beautiful building"; then she said, "Mulhah, I am going to ride; are you going to ride with me?" and her sister and yes. Then she said, "Is Pearl going to ride?" Again her sister said, yes; she said alight. Then she said: "I tell Willie he will have to hurry, hurry." And as the time drew near a beautiful smile spread over her features, she toddled her hands, closed her eyes and pressed on to the beautiful land where she is waiting and watching for mother and father, sister and brother.

Three years study in the agricultural department at Tuskegee Institute and twelve years experience in a memory at Rockford, Ill., and close observation has qualified me as a dairy farm specialist to criticize and advise. The Negro by nature and environment is adapted to an agricultural life. Since common pation our people have been shutting to the cities for several reasons: for educational advantages, greater personal protection, more certain livelihood and the more comforts the city affords. While the first two reasons are of vital importance the last two bear more directly upon the subject at hand. For three centuries the Negro and not too have been used together so that now they are almost inseparable. The constant stopping of cotton was also won so impoverished the land that a more living is to be had in many towns except when the owner to a box with large quantities of cotton at the expense of the owner. The ball would not enter the market, his lack of knowledge of other terms of agriculture, the love and girls going to the city for more on toys and pursues his homelife of the Negro planter. His salvation lies in diversifying farming with stock raising and especially farming. Denmark and Holland import American grain and cotton seed meal to feed dairy stock and receive large returns from high priced feed and on high priced link. Instead of growing cotton, divide the turn into three fields, on one plant corn, on another cattail and the other cow peas, and feed it all on the turn to high grade dairy cows and hogs, as they eat what feed the cows waste. Use the cut straw liberally to bed the cows to keep them clean and save the liquid, hand all of the manure to the field each day. Sell the dairy products and hogs to the highest market, getting a weekly or monthly income instead of yearly as with cotton, which does away with the mortgage system which is a curse to the Negro planter. Darrying not only provides an income to meet the family expenses but provides steady employment throughout the year, and an attachment for the stock means an attachment for the farm. When the three years rotation is over a marvellous transformation will be seen, king cotton will be dethroned and prosperity, independence and contentment will reign in stead. L. A.
