It is tad to say that after fifty years of freedom and the right to exercise the ballot, the colored people of America are going backwardtosuch an alarm.

So far as the party (s concerned, it has accorded the col- cred man all the rights and privi- leges in that party—to be a delegate and have a volce, the same rights that are given any other member of the party, It Is the fault of the col- ored man In both the North andthe South for thls alarming retrogres- sion in the Republican party.

The race has no better business man than Mr. Alex L. Hicks, who is succeeding beyond all expectations in the grocery business at Columbia. His stock is large and the store well patronized by our people. Mr. Hicks has the assistance of his son, an exceptionally fine young man, and the Hicks grocery is a place of business entitled to praise. He owns one of the swellest residence of the race to be found any where, located in the suburbs of Columbia, preceded over by a very accomplished wife. This family is easily one of the first families of the race, and are worthy of imitation. Miss Hicks, a daughter, is a cultured young woman, indeed. Such folks are the kind who bring to us recognition. There are two children, Miss Vivian and a son, Mr. Victor, who are students at the state school of Illinois, where they have made quite a record. Mr. Hicks believes in preparedness, therefore he is giving his excellent children every advantage. Mr. Will H. Ridgway, of Columbia, has set a standard by which other young men of the race can afford to measure up to. He is conducting the only tailoring business by the race in that town, and in which several of the race find employment. Mr. Ridgway not only owns some valuable city property but improved farm land, and in him the race has a young man who is a credit to same. He is in our opinion an ideal young fellow, and we regret that we have not more men like him. His life is one that the young Negro should imitate. The Caldwell drug store is still being operated at Columbia, and that excellent young man, Dr. G. O. Caldwell, is demonstrating that if you will mix business methods into what you are doing, you can keep your doors open. He carries a nice stock, and we were indeed glad to note that his trade had improved, and our people are rallying to him. He owns some valuable property, and in him we have a representative citizen. The prepared man of our race who will stick at what he is doing, and mix workmanship and right treatment, will succeed. The scribe was indeed pleased at the growth of Dr. J. C. Timothy's business since his last visit to Columbia. His dental parlor are frequented by many necking his services, as he is rapidly demonstrating that he is easily one of the foremost dentists of the race, and our people are rallying to him. Since we last visited his town he has moved his offices and now has modern, well equipped places. His strongest recommendation is his workmanship, and the citizens of Columbia realize he is an artist of the first kind. He is not only a good dentist, but a ripe scholar, a young man who is a credit to our race. Hon. A. M. Swich is still conducting an up-to-date grocery and confectionery at Columbia, and enjoying a nice trade. His residence structure, where ye scribe always finds quarters. This man has always been a busy body when it comes to race building, but in our opinion the most commendable thing he has ever done was to give to the race about eighteducated sons and daughters; each of these young people are conspicuous for their true worth. Bro. Swich's business should be made a decided success by the race. Williams' tonsorial parlor at Columbia is still doing its share of the white trade. It is a modern equipped place, and only artists who know how are employed. Mr. Williams has a creditable place, and enjoyed a nice trade among the best white people of Columbia. He has been in business a long time and by strict application to same, has built up a lucrative patronage. Both he and his son own modern homes, and below we are giving the names of the barbers who are helping to make his business a success: Messrs Stone Logan Williams, James G. Williams, Jr., John H. Gatewood, E. O. Boone, Jr., J. G. Williams, Sr. Miss Henrietta Simpson has proven what "stickability" will do about ten years ago she made her home with Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Coleman, when they first embarked in the laundry business and has proven trustworthy in every respect. She was the first of the race to become acquainted with the workings of the Coleman laundry, and by "staying" with them she has bought and paid for a thousand dollar home and last year she made a three months' visit to the Pan-American and San Diego expositions, and too she saved all of the money while working for a Negro laundry company. We need more such enterprises and such women to work in them. Another lady, Mrs. G. Montgomery has educated an orphan girl from money made in this laundry. Amen! In every town there are men and women of our race who are true factors in race building, and at Columbia, we have Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Martin, who own one of the excellent colored homes of that city. Mr. Competent Teachers, High Moral Tone, Modern Buildings, Complete Library, Best Latest Equipment, Expenses Reasonable, Every Student Learns a Trade, Exceptional Musical Advantages, Warm Rooms, Good Board, Work Furnished. Your Educational Opportunity! Martin is the only colored man employed at the postoffice in Columbia, and by giving general satisfaction he is one of the fixtures at same. These folks have two sweet children and are identified with every move which means race elevation. Mr. Martin is one of our staunch supporters, and encourages us with money and praises.

Wade at the home of her mother, Mrs. Sallie Buford, 2343 Ogden street, Denver, Colo., was received in Topeka last Saturday. She died last Friday night at 8:30. The news of her death was a distinct shock to her many relatives and friends here. While Mrs. Wade had been in failing health for several years and had gone to Las Vegas, N. M., to recuperate, no one here thought her troubles so serious. She left Topeka nearly two years ago, and from letters to her relatives and friends she gave the impression that she was gaining in health. But about three months ago she was affected about the head and entered a Las Vegas hospital for an operation, which proved a failure and left her almost blind. About six weeks ago she went to her mother at Denver and there suffered a second operation, from the effects of which she passed to the great beyond. Mrs. Wade was a member of the Third Baptist church of this city and lived a consistent Christian life and died in the full triumph of the faith. She leaves to mourn her demise a mother, three sisters, a brother, a host of other relatives and many friends. The funeral was held from Denver's principal Baptist church, the Rev. Dr. D. E. Overr, pastor, officiating. Gone from a land where sorrows dwell. Where want and misery lie Gone to a land of pure delight, Where angels sing and fly. Gone from a home beneath the sky To a land to man unknown Gone to a land of bliss and love To dwell with angels 'round the throne. --- The Maker gave this life on earth To dwell in a house of clay, And the Maker called this life to Him On His own appointed day. Amid the scenes of earthly toil This house has tumbled down, And from its ruins the soul escaped To wear a starry crown. A MIDSUMMER MUSICAL. Miss Edna F.

In the early daya there were thousands of colored lives sacrificed for the interests of the Republican party in order that future generations might jenjoy the rights and benefits they died for, Although these men were for the most part uneducated, they were honest and brave and believed in doing things, not only for the [betterment of the white man, but for their own race as well, Now come such men as Dr. J. H. Good- win of Columbia, S. C.; Gibbs Mitchell of Charleston, W, S| Dix- son of Barnwell, Dr. J, Levey of Florence and L. A. Hawkins of Columbia, These five colored men and J, Duncan Adams (white) of Charleston voted for Joseph W. Tol- bert for committeeman, Had these colored men voted for Fordham he would have been the committeeman and the entire colored race would have been benefited and it would have been worth mitlions of dollars, not only in money, but in pride, and as an inspiration to the younger generation; but instead these would. be intelligent colored men sacrificed the rights of the generations to come for selfish ambition, Now, what is to become of the race if men hike this will not stand to- gether, For God’s sake, let the hard working, honest colored people of South Carolina get together and not be hoodwinked any longer by these howling dervishes, who de nothing more than make a lot of noise to get to the convention and there stand and walt to be bartered and sold for a mess of pottage, Georgia waa equally as bad, Menry Lincoln Johnson, teader of the col- ored race of Georgia, and who re. cently retired as recorder of deeds at Washington, D, C.; and Judson Lyons, who was once register of the treasury, were In opposition to each other, fighting hard to put in a white man as national committee man, Now, these two Intelligen! men, who pose as leaders of Geor- ria and have been accorded all the ‘rights snd privileges the party could give to men, acted like two ald colored men in the dark ages of slavery, vieing with each other te see who would be the most populaz among the white people of Georgia. Of the twelve delegates from Geor- gia, eight were colored men, and with such characters as Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent und a great leader of Odd Fellow- ship, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, they should have been able to win anything the colored people desired, But they were on their knees with a “Marse John skin back grin” and a “Lord give it to the white man if you can’t give it to me” attitude. Tt ia a shame and disgrace to have such men, who pretend to be lead. ers, go to an assembly like the con- vention at Chicago and there dis- grace the colored race of this coun- try, We are now through listening to the talk of the greatness of the Southein colored man and the great things he is doing. The only thing the colored men of the South ever learned was when they came North and West and lived among intelli- gent colored people, who possess the courage to carry out any proposi- tion they might choose, The South- ern Negro is a failure, when it comes to national organizations for the Lenefit of his race, and all great assemblies, He io there with a loud, soaring voice and a brainless and thoughtless head, He has succeed. ed in destroying the National Bap: txt convention, almost broke up the A. M, E. General Conference at Philadelphia, and has sold out his race at the National Republican Convention at Chicago, and God alone knows what he will do next, If they are to be the leaders and mold public sentiment for this race of ours, we are now hopelessly lost. Neither Alabuma nor Arkansas had a delegate, Louisiana was divided and given a half vote each, Our advice fs that the young col. ored man in the South had better learn politics and how to be hones! and thoughtful, and look way down the line and see what are his needs, The present leaders are fakes, 2 hindrance and a source of annoy. ance, NICK CHILES, Editor The Topeka Plaindealer, CHEVROLET-MOTOR * CARS <% ARE UNEXCELLED, «+.

Allment Watch Has All But Annint- lated Turkey-Ralsing Industry In New England, Has Spread to Every State in Union. It was formerly believed that black- bead occurred only in the turkey, Con- tInued observation soon made it clear, Sowever, that fowls also might have the disease, and It is now a well es tablished fect that not only fowl, but practically all domestic poultry are dusceptible; and, although they are much more resistant than turkeys, they frequently die of blackhead. The same organism has boen found in guinea fon], ducks, pheasants, quail, Grouse, pigeons and sparrows, But the chief danger from such genera} occurrence of the disease in a mild form Iles in the fact that where there are domestic poultry the grounds are necessarily contaminated with the causative organism, and thus rendered unsuitable for raising turkeys. For this reason it is never safe to allow turkeys and uther poultry to use the same yards The occurrence of the dis- ease in wild birds such as the quail, grouse and in several varieties of spar- rows, adds to the varied possibilities tor infection. As a general things, the poultryman will do better to study methods of prevention than to waste his money on socalled “remedies” and “cures” for blackhead. Treatment should be. Im the main, limited to such birds as are of special value. and the poultry- man should devote bis attention to se- curing conditions which are calculated to prevent the disease tn bis flocks as a whole, Regarding such preventive measures the following, though simple, may be recommended: (1) Protect the yards and flocks which may have the good fortune to be uninfected with biack- head by a careful examination of all new stock, whether turkeys, fowls, geese or other domestic birds. (2) Keep the turkeys on grounds which are as fresh as can be obtained. Change the range at least every year ‘or two, and, above all, keep them isolated from fowl and other poultry, (3) Keep every turaey in the flock under frequent observation in order to separate, and at once isolate, any bird which gives evidence of the dis eae. To facilitate such observations it fs of the greatest help to legband every bird, and to record its weight from time to time, This procedure may be looked upen by the average poultryman as dificult and tmprac tleable. (4) If it in known that black: head .8 present in any of the poultry, the yards should be kept as free as possible from English sparrows, and Em Ly a ‘i oe S3 eee iA: hdl" “ nn Apt Bronze Turkeys. the poultry houses and grain bins from rats and mice, since it has been shown that these rodents carry the parasite. (5) If it 1s desired to fatten birds for taarket, begin to Increase the rations gradually, Never attewpt to fatten birds which, in successive welghings, show a loss of weight, Overfeeding does not cause blackhead, but It does frequently cause the sudden death of birds in which blackhead ts present. 18) When birds have dled of black: head their bodies shoulda be promptly burred or buried sn order to prevent the dissemination of the coccldla, either through the ravages of rats or skunks or by leaving the dead birds to decay abavt the premises. Regarding therapeutic measures, the following may have some edventages if given early 10 acute cases of black: head; (3) Isolate the sick bird trom the flock and place it in @ dry, well ventilated location, free from colds and Gretta, (3) Feed sparingly on soft, Heght, oastiy assimitable food. with Itt tle grein, eapecially corn. INSPIRATION OF THE COUNTY FAIR By Peter Racierd. When you enter the agricultural de Partiment of the county falr, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes OD & new power—that fs the iaspirs- tton of the sotl, You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene—that . the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the votce of nature calling you back to the soll— that fs opportunity knocking at your door. It ts a good chance to spend a quiet hour tn contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweet- en your life with ite fragrance, elevate your ideals with Its beauty and expand your imagination with its power, ‘These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of com- merce they ought to bring tiptop prices on any market fn the world. ‘The products of the soll are teachers and preachers as well, Their beauty elves human life {ts fret entertain ment, thelr perfection stirs the genius in artiste; their purity furnishes mod- els for growth of character and their marvelons achlevements excite our curlosity nnd we inquire into the won- derful process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agricul- ture where nature fs parading fn her most graceful attire and science ts climbing the giddy heights of perfec tion, let us pause and take @ retro apective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod- ucts are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blush: ing Elberta, for example—they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year, The bnion—the nation’s favorite vegetable—every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of @ market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost thelr homes, Cot- ton—natures capltalist—often goes begging on the market at less than coat of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing “Dixie” and boast of the marvelous fertility cf the soll and pride ourselves on our ability to master sclence, but it fs also well to remember that there ia a market side to agriculture that does not reflect Its hardships in the exhibits at a county falr. UNIVERSAL PEACE ‘Tois nation fs cow in the midst of @ controversy as to how best to pro mote universal peace, That question we will Jeave for diplomats to dis cuss, but peace within nations is no less Important than pesce between Bations and it is heavily laden with Prosperity for every citizen within eur commonweelth, Many leading politicians and ofttimes political platforms have declared war Upoa business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men haveatood tn high places and hurled “gas bombs” et industry; thrust bayonets into bus- shess enterprises and bombarded az- eiculture with Indifference. Party ‘eadets have many times broken dip- Jomatic relattons with industry; sent Political aviators spying, irough the Sfaire of business, and. political sub- marines bavé sent torpedoes crushing {nto the destiny of commerce, Dur fng the past quarter of = century we have fought many a.duel with prog- Tess, permitted many politicians to carry on @ guerrillar warfare against elvilization and point a pistol at the heart of bonest enterprise, No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until bis rec ord has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with wunitions of war should be given @ clearance to sail for the port of Unt versal Peace. Let us by all moans have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home, GRASPING AT THE SHADOW No man—especially if be is mar ried—would deny woman any right she demands, Take the earth end give us pesce, but why does woman long for the ballot? ‘When all fs sald and done, is not the selection of the butcher more im- portant to the home than theelection ofa mayor; ts not the employment of the dairyman s far more Important event in the life of the cbildrem then the appointment of @ postmaster; is mot the selection of bocks for the family library more important than voting bonds for jal] and court house? ‘Why dces woman lay aside tho im portant things in iifet Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? Be it said to the credit of woman: hood that it fs not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches ber children to say “Now I lay me down to sleep” that barangues the populace; it fa not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a beppy' home that longs for the uniform of the sutragette, It im, as a rule, the woman who despises ber home, neglects her children and seorns motherhood that leads pareces and smashes windows. _ a Sora » #6 enol a eee OGINS PRAISE POTALTY OF ase OF .
