Washington Manly Statement As al Advantages 1. Washington in the Oaks I am a number of years I have had the feeling that the more line at and advanced thinkers of the South amuse the white people do not know the poor school facilities that are provided for members of my race in certain sections of the South. Often when I have been traveling through the South upon educational campaigs I have reminded white people in my audiences of the poor school facilities that existed right in their own town or county for the education of the Negro. Frequently these white people have not only expressed surprise but have thanked me for my frankness in letting them know about these bad conditions, and then they have taken hold of matters and have greatly changed conditions. In many cases the white people are so busy about their own affairs that they do not take time to find out how the Negro is faring in the matter of education. When speaking to the white people in the South from the platform I always try to speak with perfect frankness, but in a spirit of friendship and sympathy. I intend to pursue that policy in this article. I have seldom encountered any direct or stubborn opposition to Negro education among the white population, but when I have found it indifference growing out of ignorance of conditions. Certainly we must have truth and facts as a basis for any progress that both needs are to make. A few weeks ago three of the most prominent white men in Mississippi were shot and killed by two colored boys. Investigation brought to light that the two boys were rough and crude that they had never been to school, hence that they were densely ingrown. While no one had taught those boys the use of books, some one had taught them, as mere children, the use of cocaine and whisky. In a mad fit, when then rude and bodies were filled with cheap whiskey and cocaine, these two ignited boys created a "reign of murder," in the course of which three white men, four colored men, and one colored woman met death. As soon as the shooting was over a cruiser shot the two boys full of ballt holes and then burned their bodies in the public streets. Now, this is the kind of thing, more or less varied in form, that takes place too often in our country. Why? The answer is simple. It is dense ignorance on the part of the Negro, and indifference arising out of a lack of knowledge of conditions on the part of the white people. Let me not mince matters, but state facts as they are, since it is only through knowledge of actual facts that progress for both races can be made. It is true that in a few sections of the South there is little to complain of with reference to Negro education either in city or country districts. In other sections of the South, however, the conditions are despicable, and so long as there is little or no opportunity for Negro youths in these sections of the South to get the education which will teach them to keep their holies clean, in know the law, to exercise self-control, to labor for its own sake so low will there be crime, so long will the laxes of the best white people and the best Yach people in the South be drawn from ignorant colored people and ignorant white people. Take, for example, the State of Mississippi, the state in which this crime was committed. By the last eruption in that state the school population was 712,000; of this number 400 were Indians, 302,000 whites and 410,000 colored. During the year 1917 241,000 colored children were enrolled in the public schools; this is just a little, over fifty per cent. The average attendance, howe- vee, in the public schools was 141, 920 or about thirty-five per cent of --- a total number of the colored children in the app. In other words, four percent of the colored children attended no pumme on during the year 1912. In lieu of copy the average salary of own teachers during that year was $1800 a month for five months. so that California is another southern state which is backward in Negro education. According to official reports, in district 9, Beaufort county, of this state there was expended on the white children enrolled in the public school in 1911 $127.30 per pupita, and on the colored children enrolled in the same district $2.71 per pupita, on forty-six times as much on the white children as on the colored children. Under these conditions, let us see how long the colored children are in school during the year in certain special districts of South Carolina, then we may get further light as to be cause of crime and leniency in portions of the South. in district 25, Edgefield county, the public school for colored children was set open by the public funds about two and one half months, and the her was paid at the rate of $15 per month. In Anderson county, district 10, the colored public school was open two months and closed ten months. In Baumwell county, district 31, the public school was in one month and closed eleven months. In South Carolina the average length of the school term for the colored people, outside the 's and large towns, is from two to four months. The seriousness of this can be understood when it is kept in mind that there are almost a million colored people in South Carolina and that eighty per cent of them live in rural districts. Thus in one state of our great free country 200,000 colored children are provided with public education for but three or four months in the year. Under these conditions it would require twenty years for a child to complete the eight grades of the public school Of course any one knows that a two or three months' school, with a mere pittance of a salary for a teacher, means almost no school. The buildings in which these schools are conducted, as a former State Superintendent of Education in South Carolina said some time ago, are in many cases not fit for stables. But South Carolina is by no means the only state that has these breeding spots for ignorance, crime, and fifth which the Nation will, sooner or later, have to reckon with. In Alabama, my own state, we have one of the finest and most liberal governments of any state in the Union. The superintendent of education as is true of any county superintendents of education, is also generous in the matter of Negro education; and yet in Alabama we have counting where conditions are almost as bad as those in South Carolina. Take, for example, Waltox County, Alabama. Here there are 200 white people and 27,000 black people. There are 1,891 white children of school age and 10,607 black children of school age. For the education of these white children there was spent in 1912 $33,000, or $17 per cent; for the education of the 10,001 black children there was spent $3,750, or 27 cents per cent. According to TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 10, 1914. the report of the state superintendent of education of Alabama, there are 324,024 colored children in Alabama. Of this number 190,000 did not enter any school at all during the last year, and 90,000 of those catering were in school only from two to three months. Thus it is seen that in the single state of Alabama there is almost 201,000 colored children who apparently are growing up in ignorance, notwithstanding all that has been done and is being done. In Alabama, as in other states, some are being educated in the elementary departments of the industrial schools and colleges, but their number in proportion is very small Some of the more touching and best teaching letters that I receive will offer accommodations for colored children come from Southern white people of both sexes. The following is one example of many A Southern white lady, the wife of a former official in Alabama, in a letter speaking of the rural schools in her county, gave: "Dr. Washington: Since being elected president of the School Improvement Association of this county I find conditions gloomy enough for both men, but it is strictly relative to the colored race that I am waiting this. "Now I am asking you to send me one of your best teachers—I mean most conscientious teachers—to visit such colored school in this county in the capacity of supervisor. If once a quarter would be too much to ask, then let them come at least twice during the scholastic year. The county superintendent has promised to appoint me a president of the School Improvement Association, and I shall personally undertake the direction of her work. If only you could see the heart-breaking need as I see it! "You have been called the 'Moses' of your race; then this call is to you to help lead your people out of the wilderness of ignorance and ineffulence. This is one of the opportunities to move your sincerity. "Allow me to recall to your re membrane the liberal and systematic attitude held toward the Nemo race by my husband, not only during his incumbency as a stat officer but in all his dealings with them in private as well as in public. The matter of improving the schools of this county has been a question of conscience, and something MUF be done. This appeal goes to vot in the name of our Christ in half of his needy little ones. Your to batterment, etc. "P. S.—We have only sixteen colored schools. After I had determined on this step, I had determined on this step, I consulted my superintendent, and he heartily sanctioned it." In a letter to the Montgomery Advertiser, December 29; 1910, explaining why the black counties of Virginia, Macon County excepted, had lost in population from 1900 to 1910, I said: "I do not believe that the leading people, and especially landowners, of the 'Black Belt' counties know how little money some Negro schools receive. More money is paid for Negro convicts than for Non-teachers in Alabamn. About $11 per month is now being paid for first-class, able-bodied Negro convicts. $11 for the second class, and $21 for the third class for the twelve months in the year, while in some counties Negro teachers get from $15 to $17 a month for a period of three or four months in the year." While I have dwelt a great deal upon conditions in Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama, I do not mean to imply that these are the only states where such conditions exist. I have used them merely as examples of conditions existing in some portions, at least, of practically all of the states of the lower South. On my visits to the country schools in these and other states I have seen some very pathetic sights. In some of the so-called school buildings the roofs leak, the winds blow on through the cracks of the floors and down through the ceilings. I have seen in many of these schools five little boys and girls trying to study out of the same book. In some cases two children would occupy the seat with the book between them with two others peeping over their shoulders, and a fifth trying to peen over the shoulders of the four. The ignorance and stupidity that control in some of the schools are THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR DR. WILLIAM T.

He's one of the Men Who Will Be Made Bishop at the Next General Conference of the A. M. E. Church. almost beyond belief, I have seen scores of little children sitting for hours on a rough bench with no back to it and their feet dangling in the air, or seven inches from the floor in other cases. I have seen, during the very cold, windy, winter weather, those conducted in material disks where there was no provision made on the inside of the house for arming the room. A the would be right on the outside of the school house, and teachers and students would study on the inside for a few minutes, until they got so cold that we were not needed to go outside to warm their fingers and feet, and then a few murrays return to their studies on the inside. When we are exited on a school trip with a three or four on the conductor by a mostly paid teacher, it is worthful that any one be keen made in such dress in the matter of public education. Now, as I often say when speak- er to the South and I never saw anything out of the South that I do not say in the South in those coun- tries and districts in which this colo- ure is drawn in the matter of fitting these people for the duties of life under free conditions, no color line is drawn in the payment of taxes or in the punishment of crime. The colored boy who has $1.50 a year spent on him for education is punished by the same count rules of evidence as the white boy who resides in the county and has $15 a year spent on him for his education. Aside from other results of this kind of short lightness and injustice, this back of school facility is fast driving the best colored farmers from the farms, where they are of best service to the white people and to the large cities, where in one of certain disadvantages they are reasonably sure of finding some kind of school for their children. Any one living outside of the South cannot realize how heavily the Southern States have taxed themselves within the last quarter of recessions for education and what tremendous sacrifices they have made. It is hard to put in words in true or adequate description of the awakening that it now spreading all through the South in educational matters. While all this is true, we cannot fail however to look facts in the face even though they be disinterested and disinterested facts. The best friend of the South is he who will tell the truth. It would for this reason be most fessly unfair, while calling attention to the deplorable conditions that exist in some sections of the South to enforce the many counties and cities in which the public authorities have vision enough and such a high sense of justice that good opportunities are furnished, in length of terms, salaries of teachers, and in the kind of school-houses, for the education of Negro children. This is notably true in the state of Texas. Outside the large cities and towns in the Southern States the opportunities of Negro education are generally poor, but there are rural districts in which good schools are furnished for Negro people, almost as good in some cases as those for white children. This is true of both Virginia and Texas. In fact, I think Texas is ahead of all the Southern States in its wisdom, generosity, and insightfulness in the distribution of the public school money. And I am sure that the state of Texas has not lost anything, but has gained, in having a high and useful type of I was born in the South, have lived in the South, and am just as proud of the South as any white man could be. For this very reason I want to see it get to the point where it will serve to be continually held up to the civilized world as the most criminal section of our country. But we can get rid of this reputation only in proportion as education replaces ignorance, as thrift and industry replace idleness and laziness, as high moral character replaces immorality. These bad unhealthy conditions exist in many parts of the South. I repeat, because liberal and thoughtful white people too often do not actually know what is going on with reference to Negro education. These white people are so absorbed with their own personal business, or in matters that concern white people, that they do not have time, or take time, to find out the actual conditions in which colored people live. This leads me to hope that what I have said in this article may impress the leading white people in the South with the importance of looking into and making known the facts in regard to Negro education. In some parts of the country public attention has already been directed to the importance of this matter. In Russell county, Alabama, for example, where I have recently been, the white people are pleading for more Negro schools, more Negro teachers, and they are not ashamed to set the world know that they are in favor of Negro education. The sum is true of many counties and cities in the South; but, when all this is said we must face the fact, disgraceable as it may be, that when we consider the growth in population among the colored people in the rural districts of the South, where eighty-five per cent of the Negro population lives, the nation still has a serious problem which must meet in a spirit of generosity and handle with wisdom, and, above all things, with courage.

Martin, Democratic candidate for sheriff of Leavenworth county, is well and favorably known to almost every man and woman in the county and city. He is a good, clean, upright honorable gentleman, capable and efficient and worthy of the confidence of the people. He was born on a farm in this county, where he result until he reached the age of seventeen, when he secured a job on the car line in Leavenworth as a staff conductor. He attended school at Parkville, Mo., and later returned to Leavenworth as conductor on the K. L., later changed to K. C. and Western, running from Leavenworth to Kansas City. He was appointed as patrolman under the Doege administration and served about six months and was promoted to night heutemant May 6, 1912 and served the balance of the Doege regime, when he was promoted to day captain at the beginning of the present administration and served until a few days ago, when he tendered his resignation to take effect May 1, 1914, to make the campaign for sheriff. Mr. Martin is a young man, clean cut and square and has climbed the ladder of success through his own pluck and energy and is justly entitled to your moral support. He is an efficient officer and well liked by all who know him, and he has a host of good warm friends among all races who are actively supporting him for sheriff of Leavenworth county. 14 Mr. John Bollin, the capable and efficient county commissioner, was born and reared in Leavenworth county and says that he intends to spend the balance of his days in the county. In politics he is a Democrat, and has always contributed time and money to assist the party in the fight to uphold a principle that is close to his heart. Mr. Bollin has made one of the best commissioners the county ever had, and submits his splendid record as the main reason why he should be given a second term. He has guarded the taxpayers' money as carefully as though it was a personal matter, and the voters are going to show their appreciation by keeping him on the job. Judge Dennis Madden, candidate for congress on the Republican ticket, was prosecuting attorney of Chase county and was the first to enforce the prohibitory law in that county. Was elected judge of the Fifth judicial district in 1900 and served a term of four years. His record is good; was fair, just and impartial in all of his decisions. He was reured on a farm and knows the wants and needs of the farmer. His slogan is "Restore the Protective System." He is an advocate of harmony and was a member of the convention held at Toneka, June 3d, 1913 and made a stirring plan for "getting together." He pushed the harmony conference held at Emporia Nov. 19, 1913, which secured mutual confidence among the members of the parties in the Fourth congressional district. The nomination of Judge Madden for congress in the Fourth district will please all factions of the Republican party, and do much to bring about the desired harmony not only in the Fourth but every district in the state. Judge Madden is one of those clean cut senators in vigorous debator and convincing and element. He is very closely allied with the people and if nominated and elected would serve them faithfully and well.

This is a good resolve and there is no better time to begin this preparation than right now—today. Vandaman and Hoke Smith put a stumbling block in the way of the confirmation of Robert H. Terrell as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbus, but seems that the block was of totten wood and was ground to splinters, for Judge Terrell was continued despite these "erackers." From the sign of the robin we judge that spring is here, and with the dawning of spring should come a general desire to make our every surrounding to coincide with spring. Clean up the yard, beautify the home by tenring out the worn out parts and scatter a few drops of paint, and trim up the trees and patch up the fences and sidewalks. Don't be afraid you will do a little extra work around home. Justice is a funny article in the Shawnee County court. The legislature saw fit to enact a law making it a felony to conduct a house of prostitution. Three white women were arrested under this law and one of them was tried for the offense and though she admitted that she was conducting such a place, a jury of twelve men, good and true, brought in a verdict of acquital. And this been a colored woman she would have been headed for Lansing. And again the legislature saw fit to make it a felony to dispense booze in the sacred precincts of Kansas. Here in Shawnee county, men and women have been arrested time and again and adjudged guilty of selling intoxicants, but only colored men are guilty enough to be sent to Lansing. There are some white men in Shawnee county who have been arrested and adjudged guilty of selling booze at least a dozen times and they serve a few days in jail and are paroled to resume their former trade of booze selling. If this is justice, we prefer injustice by the carload lot. If booze selling is on a par with murder, then it ought to apply a fine to all men. Colored men should not be made the goat in these affairs. JOLA. KANSAS. Dr. H. T. Kealing, Prof. Jackson and choral society of Weste n University, were guests of Rev. T. W. Greene and congregation Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Greene delivered a very interesting sermon Sunday fornoon to an unusually large crowd after which the evidence was highly entertained by the sweet vocal glee club. Rev. and Mrs. Greene escorted then guests to the second Baptist church in the afternoon and they rendered excellent music for the services. Night services were held in the G A. R. hall and standing room was a premium. Dr. Kealing's sermon was one of the most powerful and eloquent ever heard in Iola. The singers were at their best and they sang themselves into the hearts of their auditors. They left Monday afternoon for Ottawa. Iola hopes to have them call again real soon. The new A. M. E. church is being eared on to completion. The windows are in ard everyone is a beauty. It, will be ready for worship Sunday. Rev. T. W.

The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the black pine, is commonly planted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental and windbreak purposes. Ladder favorable conditions it will attain a height of sixty or seventy feet, with a diameter of fully two feet at the stump. It is plaining in appearance, grows erect with a straight, heavy trunk and regular whorls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from five to seven inches long very dark green and retain their greenness throughout the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very best of the pines for windbreak purposes. It is readily propagated ```markdown ``` Photograph by Kansas State Agricultural College THIRTY YEAR OLD ACERTIAN PINES OR KANSAS FARM. from seed, but the seedlings are tender and susceptible to several fungous diseases common in nurseries. The seedlings transplant with much difficulty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting, but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings, and these should be from fifteen to twentys inches in height. The Austrian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen handling coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the resulting stage. It is impracticable for any except skilled nurserymen to attempt to grow it - Kunus Palmer THE FARMER'S PROBLEM. According to Former Secretary Wilson, every day in the crop growing season is worth $50000, but to the farmers of the United States this wealth however, represents the work of nature as well as of man. The big problem for the farmer is to so arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. For the Asparagus Bed The kind for an aspiring bed must be well drained warm, thick soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep spelling may do but care must be taken to get the moisture well mixed with the soil if host results are desired. For larger beds the moisture should be turned moist with a plow. Deep plowing is not an excuse in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second early in the spring. Great strong one year old roads are the best. A long bed single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space. American Agriculturist Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of dullness or wind roll the life of the horse may be buried by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The trough and canula used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of hair which runs the opposite way of that on the ribs. In a new tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the instrument, but it must be sterilized before use, and the wound should be disinfected after removal of the trough Farm Journal. It's a Useful Servant Where a farmer owns a wood to and durns wood he can make an excellent investment to purchase a guide for engine and wood sawing machine. Even a two and one fourth horsepower engine will do a lot of work, but it is advisable perhaps, to get a somewhat larger one because the change are then after a farmer gets an engine he will that other work for it to do. Don't Grow Scabby Spuds One thing is sure if your potatoes are wable in the garden one year you and better not plant any on the same ground another year. Put them some space if you will have more than HERE'S A USEFUL RAG DOLL Tests Corn Just as Well as Any Expensive Contrivance. With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a seed corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. 'This simple device for selecting good seed ears is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pull of water. Its efficiency was proved in several years' test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which says that it will select good ears as satisfactorily as the best expensive manufactured testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times hem the edges, an otherwise the travelling sometimes disarrange the kernels in an rolling. Down the middle of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy pencil. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the ear to be tested. Take six kernels from ear No. 1; take six kernels from ear No. 2 and place in square No. 2 and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at, either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled the a string around each end rather loosely or, better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1 Then proceed with No. 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to contain the corn which one has to test. From thirty to fifty ears can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or tub of water where they may remain from two to eighteen hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be laid under the rolls and one edge of the roll should be lifted from one-half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read. Depending upon the arrangement of cars select first either roll No 1 or the last roll filled. This cloth will be unrolled in front of the cars represent al. Examine all kernels carefully. In all cases in which all six kernels are not strong in germination the car should be thrown away - Farm Press In the accompanying illustration taken with the description from Popular Mechanics is shown a handy rig for carrying a spool of barbed wire.

I have had in trouble grafted to leave him until an hour and it is better to do this time to do it than to let a computer from the Farm and Garden Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of material and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the department on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies "The average 100 more farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has earned $1,000 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 6 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care even though it is impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, assays Farm and Fire-side, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross pieces, top and bottom. 2 1/2 x 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel for wire, leaving opening for door. O Fasten it so that a side door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed or stuppled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely verml proof. Cover barrel with oid tin sooing or spouting so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. It runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crumbs or the annoyance of grown chickens' burrows and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to reasume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm. What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to disent will be held to have ratified and adopted the agent's note - E. D. Keyes & Co. Veronica Union Pacific Sea Company (V.U.L. Atlantic 20). If you sell food to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the food processor to be discussed to such an extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the decision of Judge Noyes in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the renter when a rental agreement is consummated. This may avoid a misunderstanding and prevent trouble. An oral contract should be binding as a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations not fully understood.

John Fleming's big heart goes out to his people, and storm has never raged too terrific for him to get up and answer the Macedonian cry of a member of the race in distress. More than this, he will dig down into his pockets and dig until it hurts to see that his people get a square fair deal in everything.

Col. Fleming did not intend to see one of his race go through the mills of the courts without legal advice, so he stepped into the breach and with the permission of the judge, Mayor J. P. Bailey, took charge of 'Daddy' Irvin's case. It developed that all the evidence against the old colored man was that of the Indian, who said Irvin had not only given him a drink, but had sold him a bottle of liquor. On further examination, the Indian was badly muddled up. He testified that he visited Pete Reid's livery barn before dark, but other witnesses proved that his visit was nearer 11 o'clock than 8 o'clock. He was also tangled up on other statements. When it came Attorney Fleming's turn to plead for his client he is said to have taken off his coat, rolled back his cuffs and launched into the most eloquent plan ever heard in the Houston justice court. He told how Bad- --- dy' Irvin was an old soldier, a helpless, poor old colored man, and that all the evidence against him came from an Indian who might expect clemency if he implicated someone for selling liquor to a redman. He plied simile on simile, he went from pathos to the sub'time heights of oratory and although perspirat on stood out on his person in great heads when he finished, he is said to have made an appeal that would have touched a heart of stone. Judge Hailey took the case under advice and the next day appraised Irvin after giving him a good lecture on the sins of hanging are of the streets and alleys with drunk or drinking Indians. Judge Ayers, who was present at the trial, say 'Col Fleming is surely a second black stone. The Colonel should apply for admission to the court.' Observations of the Plaindealer Editor.

EMPIORIA, KANSAS. One of the prettiest structures in all Kansas is located in this city. It is the Emporia State Bank, a hard-some two-story brick, 20x10, with offices on the upper floor, and test $60,000. The bank was established in 1901 with $50,000 capital. Assets increased in 11 years to over $700,000. The fixtures are of improved French marble and African marquetry with tile floor and lobby walls maincoated in marble. They have a three story modern fire and burglar proof vault completely equipped with modern tiling facilities and safety deposit department 20x30. The second story is modern office suites with hardwood floors and up-to-date in every way; ten coffer trimnings with outside forced brick, and in Flomish bond style. The entrance are tile and marble. The bank is progressive, pays four per cent on time and savings accounts, and is the only bank in Emporia guaranteed under the Kansas state guarantee law. The president, Mr Will Wayman, is a progressive both in politics and in business, and has been in the banking business in Lyon county for over thirty years. He is one of the best financiers in the county and through his foreseen and great ability the bank stands in class A. Personally, Mr. Wayman is one of most pleasing gentlemen it has been our good fortune to meet. He is educated, cultured and refined, and a bigger kinder hearted man never laud. He likes to see things get up and get and will boost any proposition with his dollars that will bring property to Emporia and happiness to her people. He stands for a greater Emporia, and is lending every effort along this line. The directors: A. S. Young, E. G. Edwards H. A. Wayman, Fremont Miller and G. A. Hgee are all thrifty, enterprising business men, honest and reliable, and they have the confidence and respect of all the people. Truly the men behind the Empor State Bank are thoroughly schooled in the world of business and finance and they are a credit to the city and state. We would like to see more of our people get the saving habit, and we know of no so better place to start such an account than with this institution. They pay a fancy rate of interest — more than the average bank which should inspire more of people to open a savings account. Perhaps to certainly fortunate but not this bank, house, and thus the amount concentrate it may be the reward by their large and fierce business.
