His Leaving is Deeply Regretted at City Hall---Wright Will Be Deputy County Clerk. It became definitely known Wednesday night that John M. Wright, city treasurer, will leave the service of the city January 13, when the county officers-elect will take up the duties devolved upon the various county officers. Mr. Wright 14 to be deputy county clerk, under Mr. O. K. Swayze. The resignation of Mr. Wright from the city treasurer's office will be received against the wishes of the city officials. It is understood that politics has entered into the announcement that the city treasurer is to go. The Democratic contingent of the city commission is especially anxious that the treasurer not leave until after April, when the next city election takes place. That contingent includes Mayor Billard, and Commissioners H. P. Miller and E. B. Stotts. They are especially anxious that a change be not made yet, since, they declare, it would complicate matters politically just before the election. Commissioners Tandy and Done also have expressed their regret at Mr. Wright's leaving next month. No official announcement has been made yet of the time when the treasurer will leave the city hall. No successor has been chosen. It is probable, however, that some action will be taken soon. Mr. Wright has made an excellent officer in the capacity of city treasurer and the city officials will look far and wide to find another so competent, affable and thoroughly fitted for the position - Topeka Capital. THE BETTERMENT OF THE NEGRO. During the two hundred and fifty years of the Negroes' time in slavery and out of bondage they have made a most marvelous progress, but we are now at the point where we must lay aside the slavery question and leave it in the hands of an all-wise Providence. Our business men should win race patronage if we wish to bring the race together where it will grow strong and successful. We have got to encourage it, first by standing together as a race and cultivating that amount of faith in the race which will bring us closer together and will make us patronize its own enterprises, and when we patronize our own race then it will make that business as successful and useful as any enterprise conducted by any other race. We are facing a severe test. The time has come when we must not prove capacity to learn what other great men have done, but learn and do things of our own, new and different. The Negro race must work out its own merits, learn to turn every obstacle and difficulty of life to advantage. We must learn as others have learned—by experience. We must begin building our race from the bottom and not from the top. We must hew out our own path as a race. Our pathway must be up through soil, up through commerce, education and religion. We cannot, under any circumstances, build up our race at the top any more than building a house at the top and going down. We must get together, put our money to more benefit; invest it in something that will make money. It is high time that the Negro men and women must lay aside that prejudice against one another, and look forward to the help of the Almighty to build up the betterments of race pride and when we come to this conclusion I believe the time will come when the prejudice of color will not shut us from the shades in any of the fruitful opportunities or positions that a self-respecting people will desire—the door of hope will be open unto us. What I want to impress upon your minds is the importance of encouraging our race; learn to believe that there is not another race on earth to equal our race; get into business, educate the train power, and by the clap of the success is sure to follow. The Negro has religious temperament, but he can't wave his religion and morality into his daily life. We must struggle through an unfriendly world, and therefore perseverance and work must be our keynote. Let us work without ceasing along our line and by the kind hands of Providence of some guardian angel, the key of success will unlock the door of opportunity. SADIE E. WARFIELD. 918 Western Ave., N.

Perkins' sack is not yet empty, and it will be needed in the future for another shaking. Some Kansas "Bull Moose" paper thinks Capper died easy, but if the nature of his death was easy, may the saints have mercy on him who dieth hard, for it will be a mighty job. The white men who are so anxious to pass laws to prevent inter-marriage of whites and colored have a high regard for their white women in that a ball and chain have to be attached to the women to keep them from marrying colored men. Gov. Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, is a fit companion for Theodore Roosevelt. Both are sign believers that the constitution and the laws are not worth the paper they are inscribed upon when other stands in the way of their ideas or wishes. They would make a splendid pair. One Roddenbury of Georgia, who escaped the asylum and landed in the National Congress, had a fit in that great body the other day over the Johnson-Cameron affair. It's too bad that Lucile Cameron used such powerful hypnotic influence on poor old Jack. For the world knows that he got nothing for all his troubles. It is a foregone conclusion that no Negro can marry a white woman unless the woman is the willing victim, and it is certainly too bad that the white men have to resort to the law to keep their women from marrying Negroes. It speaks volumes for the Negro man and nothing for the white woman. It's too bad! Give Please of South Carolina is so wrapped up in the love of his women that he is willing to become an anarchist in order to save them from themselves, but Please can't see wherein he can find heart to protect colored women from the lavisciousness of dissolute white men who are overrunning the country with a mongrel breed of half and half, which belongs as much to one race as to the other, but Please don't seem to know much about this condition of affairs, and classes them all as Negroes. We hope Brother Please will wake up to his surroundings before he starts out again on such a reckless course. INTERNESTING RACE NEWS. At Mound Bayou, Miss., Nagroes own and operate a $100,000 oil mill. Colored people of Dallas, Texas, have purchased a cemetery for the final resting place of their dead. President Gates of Fisk University passed from labor unto reward recently while on his vacation in Florida, thus ending a useful career. Frank Brown, a young colored man of Baltimore, Md, has an invention designed for the elimination of the use of coal and to reduce the cost of labor. It is called a wave and gravity motor. Colored people have established a town called Blackdom in New Mexico near the line. It is made up by people from Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, California, Texas and Virginia. The Supreme Court of the United States has declared invalid and without force and effect the building line ordinance, which has been so rigorously enforced in this city. The ground upon which this opinion is based is the confiscation of property without due process of law. We have always been of the opinion that the building line law was unconstitutional.—Richmond Planet. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, president of the Mechanics' Savings bank and Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Virginia, has been elected to membership in the Royal Society of Arts of Great Britain. The honor, which is one of distinction, was conferred in November. The society numbers among its members some of the most distinguished persons of Great Britain.—The Reformer. The new assistant register of the United States treasury, J. P. Strickland of Arkansas, who was appointed recently to fill the vacancy by the resignation of Cyrus Fields Adams, has begun his duties like a veteran, and is measuring up to the requirements of his office. Mr. Strickland was recommended for the position by Republican National Committeeman, General Powell Clayton. Colorado Springs Eagle. As was expected, the Baltimore hotel is to recall its Negro waiters, a hundred or more of whom were set adrift last spring and their places given to white waiters. The guests missed the courteous and quick service of the colored boys and the hotel begun to miss many of their regular patrons, who went to other hotels manned by colored waiters. This is one case in which the referendum and recall so formally appeals to the colored brother. Kansas City Son. Some of our Negro leaders, since the enactment of the disfranchisement law, are advising the Negroes to go out of politics and enter business. It is bad advice, for it means to give up one of our rights as citizens. If we give up the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which gives us the ballot, our political enemies will attempt to force us to give up the thirteenth amendment which set us free, and the fourteenth amendment which made us citizens—Colored. Statesman. Law and Color.—Albert T. Patrick has just been released from prison in New York where he has been confined for the past ten or twelve years during that time he had opportunity after opportunity to carry his case from one court to another, even to the highest court in the country. He was convicted of murder, and just no one thought for a moment of doing anything else but allowing the law to take its course. A poor Negro was convicted in the courts of this city for an allowed attempt at rape. It was believed that he was not guilty of death, although convicted, and sentenced to die. A petition was sent to the governor asking for a respite. So incensed did the people of the county become that it was threatened if the governor saw fit to interfere there would a lynching. Or in other words the people would take the law in their own hands. And yet they tell us this is a highly civilized community. Wonder what kind of a civilization it is anyway?—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. The inevitable return of public sentiment to progress and good health is splendidly illustrated by the reply of the governor of Florida to the governor of South Carolina, who startled the governors' convention with a defense of lynch law and committed the constitution to perdition if it interfered with his state's favorite pastime. The Negro race has no need to fear incendiary remarks from any source. The only danger that threatens us will come as the expression of cold, deliberate judgment that we are not worth while. It is in our nower to prevent the public from reaching such a conclusion. Governor Please mayrant, Tillman, Vardaman and their ilk may condemn us, but we have our fate in our own hands. We realize fully that we come in for general disapproval when some member of the race does wrong, but common sense and fairness sooner or later separates the good colored citizen from the bad, so that all need not bear the condemnation a part deserves. On the whole the governors' convention incident is a sign of better times coming.—The Danvar Star. There is a Man in Newton...

TOPEKA, KAS. own Misunderstanding of What Constitutes the Divine Penalty For Sin Has Missed Us In Respect to Every Feature of God’s Program For Our Recovery From the Punalty. Rochester, N. Y. Nov. 21 - Pastor Basil of Brooklyn wrote that one of his adiors from the test thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift." H. Corinthians K. 15 FASTOR RUSSELL The Pastor said that in order to appreciate the Scriptures on all subjects, we must handle the Word of God honestly. We must recognize that our Lord Jesus is one person and the Father another person. The oneness between the Father and the Son is that declared by our Master Himself, saying that He and the Father are one in the same sense that He desires all of His disciples to be one in mind, in purpose, in will, in effort. (John xvii, 21, 23) Our Lord Jesus is God's unexemptable Gift. The Scriptures declare that the Redeemer took the nature of man in order redeem sinners, but that in Him there was no sin. Only a sinless one could give to God a Ransom for Adam, and thus redeem from destruction, not only Adam, but all his perseverity, involved in sin and death through him. The speaker then showed that God set before our Lord a great joy, the influence of which led Jesus to endure cheerfully the bitter experiences of His earthly life. "This joy is intituled to have been (4) His pleasure in doing the Father's will, (2) His privilege of "bringing many sons to glory" - the Church; (6) His pleasure and joy in being by and by the world's Restorer, delivering them from the power of Satan, sin and death. "Wherefore," St. Paul says, "God both highly exalted Him," far above "angels, principalities and powers, and every name that is named." An Opposite Course From Satan's. Pastor Russell then contrasted the course pursued by Satan with that followed by our Lord. Meditating ambitious designs, Satan found an opportunity in Eden. He behold in our first parents a new order of beings, designed to bring into existence a race that would fill the earth. Satan essayed to be ruler of peace over this human creation, and by so doing, he not only became a rebel against God, but brought sin and death into the world. Our Lord Jesus pursued an opposite course, and demonstrated His loyalty and obedience. "St Paul instructed that although the Logos was much higher than was I better yet he was humble, and "might not not a supposition" as the three, next declares, did it. Go he the not by robbers to be equal with God. On the contrary our Lord will freely accepted the Divine proposal that he should be humbled to the human plans for a time, in order to carry out the Littles' Pray. To the church, Jesus is God, unspeakable gift. He is indeed a Gift to the whole world, unsuspectable in value but He is more to the Church than to the world. In His footsteps followers He is the "Captain of their Solution their Religion, their "Later Father" their great High Priest Through Him they are privileged to be the Royal Priesthood Through the medal of the sacrifice of Christ, they are privileged to "present their bodies living sacrifices, holy, received unto God." The Post then said that Justice is the foundational of faith. Thune. In the past we endeavors to harmonize Justice with a great Creator's dealings with it to have involved us in difficulty. We were assured by the prominent arts that God had knowingly thought worked into existence under such conditions that the great majority would stand稳妥 in future. We were not Justice in any such art environment but while desist ing from attribishing the Creator we could not impose such a course, nor ace it to be in harmony with the Divine regulations governing ourselves. If we are to love our enemies, should more be expected of fallen human beings than of our perfect Creator? The Scriptures declare only the com- secured church see the lengths the breaks, heights and depths of the Love of God which preseth under standing this low abuse in any sense prepared to give thanks to God now for His respectable gift. I hear thanks go up, of course in words, but also in actions, which speak longer than words." These thanks are and as sweet excuse to God. By and by all the blind eyes will be opened and all the deaf ears will be unstopped. Then, be whole world of music, including those awakened from the sleep of death during Mes- sion, will be in condition to rec- vie the precious gift of faith and ten We willful will doors are destroyed then every or one of them on earth and in the earth a heart styling praise, please in a limbon and might be unto him that siteth on the Throne, and to the fourth forever," through the unsuspectable shift For Eighteen Years the...

The department of agriculture receives from truckers and gardeners many requests in regard to the value of street sweepings as fertilizer. The collections from sweepings consist chiefly of animal manures, trash and small particles of gravel materials, and at the present time, when the use of power vehicles is so extensive, they also contain a percentage of oil matter. Experiments were made to test the effects of the sweepings on crops. Good stable manure was also used in order that a comparison might be made. In almost every case the sweepings proved to be beneficial. The effect of the stable manure, however, was much greater. It was thought that the oil contained in the sweepings might affect their fertilizing properties. In order to study this point the oil was extracted and the effect on plant growth was tested. In every case it proved harmful. The sweepings from which it had been extracted were not tested. In this case the growth was about equal to that caused by the stable mixture. In other words, street sweepings from which the oil has been extracted are practically equal to stable minute in fertilizing value. If some method could be discovered which by the oil could be economically extracted street sweepings, on account of their comparatively low cost, should constitute a valuable source of fertilizer in the trucker and farmer country gentleman.

As a general proposition it may be said that the sow that has pigs before she is a year old will disappoint her owner. Norgham is an excellent succulent feed for cows, horses, sheep and bogs. When fed green it saves more expensive feeds and keeps stock in fair flesh until other feeds can be gathered. The safest bull the dairy man can use is generally a cross bull. At first this may seem a strange assertion. The reason, however, is simple. The bull that is known to be cross will always be watched. Do not give fresh cows, immediately after ciding, heavy feed, give mild or warm water and a small amount of light feed such as bran, that will be cooling to the system and will keep the bowls base. Calves at the age of three or four months will consume some silage if it is taken to pick out the leaves portions for them. It does not take them long after this before they will consume some consider the quantity of silage. The sheep is just as efficient in mature spriety as he is a manure maker. On hillsides where contour and waste would hardly stick long enough to do the ground any good sheep droppings take the place of a specially prepared fertilizer. Farm and Garden Proper Feeding Is the Big Factor in Causing Growth, Young bears that are to be sold for breeding purposes need extra care The buying public asks for males that are larger than their own pigs and that are in good flesh and planning to look upon Feeding is of course the big factor in succeeding growth. Because the pigs are to be sold for more than regular market price a little more expensive feed may be used if it will secure A Photograph by Laws State College of Arkansas HANDY LIFE OF INDIVIDUAL BOG HOUSE better gains. The youngsters need an abundant supply of nutritious green feel. This keeps them healthy, gives them an appetite and causes them to take exercise. Clever and alfalfa are the most satisfactory, of course, but anything that is green and succulent will do. Skimmilk is very nearly an ideal feed for growing plants. There is nothing that is liked better, and it seems to make a growth of frame and muscle as no other feeds will do. Any hog man who can have an abundant supply of skimmilk is fortunate indeed. A thick shop made of milled shorts and a little chilled does very nearly as well. Corn or corn and cooked barley are very acceptable for the basal part of the tution it being always essential to furnish plenty of protein to bathe on the back of it in corn and buryy bankings and meat meal in the proportion of about one part to ten of corn or corn and batley will make up the deficiency nicely and will bring more rapid growth and more finish to the pigs. Very satisfactory food must be selected from the crops of any locality it being necessary to bathe it up with some protein content or quality. Of course the pigs will sell better if they are clean in they will sell the best as well if they have a clean, clean place as if they have a clean, clean and it makes a vast amount of difference in getting to have them clean and seek - Nation of Stockholm and Finland --- Anaparous Seeds. An excellent plan to follow with asparagus is to visit the fields in the fall of the ground soil when seed should be selected from plants of a few large stalks rather than many small ones. The seeds are ripe when the berries are well colored. After picking, the berries should be placed in any convenient tub, barrel or crook and allowed to soak until the path separates readily from the seed. This separation may be secured in wash ing with the banda. The seeds should be washed several times and then cured and stored Professor H. L.

I would like permission to publish the following in your paper: The Second Baptist church of Junction City is having a great success. Rev. Perkins of Arkansas City was here and preached ten days for us, during which time there were eleven additions to the church. He stirred up the whole city with his eloquent preaching and sound doctrine and many were benighted. We were sorry he could not stay longer but we hope he will come again. Rev. W. T. Warder, our new pastor, baptised Sunday and we had a great time. His friends surprised him on Saturday with a new suit of clothes to preach the batalism sermon. It has been a long time since the members and friends of the Second Baptist church has had a man to preach the gospel as it is printed in the Holy Bible, therefore we appreciate Rev. Warder and will try to show him that we do. We only hope that God will call more men that are not afraid to preach pure gospel and condemn sin. Every honest man is with those kind of preachers and we are glad that we have found one of that kind in Rev. Warder. May God be with him that he may keep up the good work. Yours, SERGI, F. D.

There were three great services at the Second Baptist church on Sunday December 6th. Morning services were largely attended, the pastor, Rev. J. W. Gordon, preached a strong sermon from the subject, "The Healing of the Noble Man's Son." The second of the series of sermons on the "Miracles and Parables of Christ," our hearts burned within us while the man of God preached unto us the sermons. At three o'clock p. m. the church was comfortably answered. "This was a special service for women and girls. A large number of the men were present and took the back seat, while the ladies occupied the main outterium, and the following program was rendered: Devotionals, led by Sisters Hill and Flippins; opening chorus, Congregation standing; prayer by Tennie Jenkins; song by congregation; Pastor road scripture lesson from Prov. chapter 14th; duet, Brother and Sister Cumbrus; reading, Mrs. H. A. Ankow, entitled, "What I would do with a Pouting Husband," which was enjoyed by all especially the women; paper, "Husband's Ten Commandments, Mrs. W. O. Flippins; reading, Mrs. R. Parker, which was a masterpiece and highly enjoyed; solo, Mrs. Hill; paper, "Wife's Ten Commandment," Mrs. J. W. Gordon; singing by the congregation, "See the Sun light." The pastor then selected for a text, Prov. 14: 1, from which he preached a practical sermon strictly to the ladies, which they so much enjoyed and hoped that the pastor will continue these special services, as they find them so helpful and very much needed here. The B. Y. P. U. did not render their usual program owing to the lateness of the afternoon service. At 8 o'clock a splendid crowd came out, the pastor prescheduled on the "Par- able of the Tares," text, Matt. 13:24. We are glad to say this was a great service and one joined the church by letter. At the close of the evening service a handsome new bible was presented to the pastor and church by Sister Mary Rona. The presentation speech was made by Sister J. W. Gordon, who in a few well chosen words presented to us the beautiful gift. Services at the First A. M. K. church was also well attended and the trustee rally was quite a nice success. Rev. N. R. Rentz returned from Lawrence where he has been visiting his mother and brother for the past two weeks. Mrs. B. K. Saterfield and little son returned last Sunday from Wichita, where they spent Thanksgiving.

The stock visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nute Hippings and left a fine boy. Mother and son are doing nicely. Mrs. Mabel Weston returned home from Butler, Mo.
