The THE U.S.COURT BARS STRIKERS Kansas Federal Judge Issues Absolute Injunction. PROTECTS STREET CAR PEOPLE Striking Workmen Are Forbidden to Interfere With Running of Cars In Kansas City. The federal authorities found alleged cause for interfering in the strike inaugurated Saturday morning by the union employees of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company in Kansas City. Judge William C. Hook, of Leavenworth, Kansas, sitting in Kansas City, issued from the United States district circuit court an injunction that is more absolute and sweeping in iterms than any injunction ever before secured in the district in a contention between labor and capital. The injunction is made absolute for a week, the matter being set for a hearing Saturday, the 19th, and if its restrictions shall be observed by the strikers the Metropolitan company has its fight won, for the strikers' hands are tied for seven days, and in the meantime the Metropolitan company can go about the organization of its disrupted forces. The injunction is predicated upon the fact that several of the persons complained against as threatening the interests of the company are residents of other states, and the further fact that the strikers threaten to prevent the company from carrying out its contract with the United States government to transport the city mail carriers to and from their routes. Harry Bryan, the national organizer of the Amalgamated Association, described as a resident of Michigan, is one of the parties enjoined, and the others named are twenty-two local leaders of the union, several of whom are mentioned as residents of Ohio and Kansas. The injunction restrains the persons named and all others from in any manner, directly or indirectly, stopping or interfering with the running of cars on the lines of the Metropolitan Company; enjoins them from harrassing, assaulting or in any manner interfering with any person who may be in the employ of the company as he goes to or from his work or as he is engaged in the operation of a street car; enjoins union men and all others from picketing or patrolling the car houses, stopping places, stations, tracks, or approaches thereto, or loitering in large numbers in or about any of the places named, or making loud or boisterous noises in the vicinity thereof for the purpose of intimidating or interfering with the company's employees. The injunction even goes further than this and enjoins any concerted action to cause any act or annoyance which will assist in stopping the operation of the cars, or interfering in any wise with an employee in moving a car which may carry a mail carrier, or a messenger, or upon which a mail carrier or a messenger may wish to ride. The restrictions not only apply to Organizer Harry Bryan and the twenty-two men named, but to all others who may be acting in concert with them after the entering of this injunction. In addition to the police and the deputy marshals sworn in, a force of United States marshals will be on hand to interfere in case the injunction is ignored, and there is every probability the strikers will now desist in their efforts to bring out the men who have so far jailed to join them. Every street car line in Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., was in full operation Sunday and no show of violence was offered by the strikers. The injunction of the federal court, enjoining the union men from interfering with the running of the cars, and the added fact that it was Sunday, combined to have a salutary effect on the strikers. Early in the day groups of strikers gathered at the different power houses and quietly urged the crews to join the strike. Less than a dozen responded, however, and the places of these men were promptly filled. Railroad officials had applications from twice as many men as they could use, and to be sure of no delay placed half a dozen extra crews at the terminus of each line, paying them full wages, to fill the gap that might be caused by any recruits to the strikers' ranks. Bubonic Plague at Sydney. The number of cases of the bubonic plague officially reported in Sydney, New South Wales, to date is 210. Of these 73 have proved fatal. VOL. XV. SUNDAY CARS RUNNING. NAVAL BILL PASSED. After a discussion lasting five full days the senate Monday passed the naval adjpropriation bill. Practically four days were devoted to the consideration of this armor plate proposition, which was agreed to finally as reported by the committee with the exception that the secretary of navy is authorized to make contracts only for such armor as may be needed from time to time. The secretary of the navy is autorized to secure armor of the best quality at $415 per ton, but if he be unable to obtain it at that price, he is then authorized to pay $415 per ton for armor for the battleships Maine, Ohio and Missouri and proceed to erect an armor factory to cost not to exceed $4,000,000 one-half of which amount is made immediately available. The committee's proposition carried by a vote of 32 to 19. The secretary of the navy is directed to purchase five Holland torpedo boats at a price not exceeding $170,000 each. THE LYNCHING OF WILSON. Body Was Swung to a Maple Tree and Riddled with Bullets. William Willis, the negro who killed Mr. Alex Whitney on a Summerville trolley car in Augusta, Ga., Sunday afternoon, was lynched Monday at noon near Grovetown, about ten miles from the city. The negro was taken to the Georgia railroad train by a crenitious route Sunday night in an effort to spirit him away to Atlanta from the mob. He was taken by the mob from the train at Grovetown and carried into the woods, where he was guarded all night by the mob. Monday at noon the fury of the mob became uncontrollable and the negro was mutilated and lynched. The body was left swinging to a maple tree on the side of the main road to Belle-Air, where it crosses the Elbow branch. The head and breast were torn to pieces with bullet wounds. A placard on Wilson's breast bore this legend: "A warning to all negroes in Georgia." The picture was a ghastly one, with the mouth wide open and the eyes protruding. The cars and fingers of the negro had been cut off and the remains of his apparel soaked in blood. The crowd which was present at the final act numbered several hundred. It had been intended to carry him back to Augusta and execute him, but after passing Bello-Air and upon being joined by the second contingent from Augusta, the crowd could be no longer restrained, and the work was done. As soon as its vengeance was satisfied, the crowd of lynchers dispersed, and nothing can be learned of who composed it. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. Many New Industries Established During the East Week. The more important of the new industries reported during the next week include canning factories in Alabama and West Virginia; a carriage factory in Texas; coal mines in Virginia and west Virginia; cotton mills in Georgia and North Carolina; cotton seed oil mills in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas; a fertilizer factory in Louisiana; flouring mills in Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Texas; gas engine works in Virginia; gold mines in Alabama; three grain elevators in Texas; a handle factory in Tennessee; a $50,000 hardware company in Florida; a heading factory in Georgia; a hoop factory in Alabama; ice factories in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas; an insulator pin factory in Tennessee; lumber mills in Florida and Tennessee; marble quarries in Arkansas; a natural gas company in West Virginia; a packing house in Texas; a planing mills in North Carolina; railroad shops in Texas; a rice mill in Louisiana; a rope factory in Georgia; a $1,000,000 smelting company in Arkansas; a $20,000 stave and heading plant in Georgia; telephone companies in Arkansas and South Carolina, and a warehouse company in the latter state.—Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tenn. O BRYAN UNCONCERNED. He Declined to Discuss the Sioux Falls Populist Nomination. The least concerned man in Lincoln, Neb., in the outcome of the Sioux Falls convention apparently was the nominee of that convention, W. J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan spent the day and evening with his family at his city home, and the first notification of his selection by acclamation was the Associated Press bulletin. He asked to be excused from commenting on the action at Sioux Falls or Cincinnati, nor would he express himself on the respective platforms or the apparent division at Sioux Falls on the question of nominating a candidate for vice president.

SNAPS WERE WELL WORKED Several Trusted Officers In Havana Are Arrested and Others Are Now Suspected. Advices from Havana state that the extent of the postal frauds is far greater than what was originally expected. Besides taking in the postal department, the frauds seem to include the local officers at Havana and various other officers throughout the island, and also to have extended to outside points which have been used for the sale of some of the old issue of the stamps that were ordered destroyed. The result of the investigation at the local postoffice is the suspension of Postmaster Thompson, who was installed in April of last year. He will remain at his own house for the present. Moya and Mascare, stamp sellers in the main office, have also been arrested, and further arrests are expected. As many as six others have been placed under the closest surveillance, and they will be arrested as soon as their services can be spared. Owing to this fact, if they are suddenly relieved from duty it will be impossible to carry on the postal department of Havana. Messrs. Reeves and Reynolds, the auditors of the postal department, are under arrest at their own rooms, in charge of detectives. Special quarters will, however, be prepared in some fortress, where all the prisoners connected with the frauds will be taken as soon as arrested. The arrest and the suspension of Mr. Thompson did not take place until after dark Monday, and consequently these now features of the case were not generally known throughout the city at the time but there was a perceptible excitement at the post-office, where no one knows who may be the next to be singled out. E. G. Rathbone desires the Associated Press to say that there is no truth in the report circulated in the United States that there is friction between the military authorities here and the postal department. On the contrary, the most complete harmony prevails between General Wood and himself, consultations taking place between them daily. He also says he does not consider it proper, in the present circumstances, to give out interviews for publication and has so answered all applications for personal statements that have been cabled him from the United States. Sheridan will temporarily fill Mr. Thompson's place. It appears that the frauds were ramified in almost every possible direction, even the rented boxes having been made a source of illiterate gain. Every additional revelation increases the amazement of the Americans here. The Cubans seem to be immensely pleased. They declare that the Americans can no longer boast in Cuba of their superior honesty when in government employ. General Wood devotes several hours daily to postal affairs, hearing the reports of special agents and conferring with Mr. Rathbone and others having any knowledge of the matter. As yet, it is impossible to say how many persons will be implicated. REVISED CUBAN TARIFF Made Public Simultaneously In Washington and Havana. The war department has made public simultaneously In Washington and in Havana the schedules of the revised Cuban tariff, which goes into effect June 15th. The revised tariff, it is calculated, will slightly increase the revenues of the island, which were last year approximately $16,000,000. The primary purpose of the revision of the Porter tariff is not to provide against a deficiency of revenue, but to stimulate importations from the United States. INDIA'S HORRORS CONFIRMED. Stories of Starvation Confirmed By Lord George Hamilton. In the house of commons at London Friday afternoon the secretary of state for India, Lord George Hamilton, replying to a question on the subject of famine in India, confirmed the reports heretofore received of the excessive famine and the mortality therefrom in the native states. They Want Protection. Southern growers of casava and manufacturers of starch have appealed to the ways and means committee of the house to take action restricting the importation of their product. Tribune. "WHITE MAN RULES" Says Bourke Cookran In Speech Before Southern Society. New Yorker Receives a Great Ovation at The Convention Held In Mont- Bourke Cockran received an ovation when he was introduced to make an address on the negro problem before the southern society convention in Montgomery, Ala., the applause lasting for five minutes. He boldly advocated the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal constitution. He argued that it was a bad limb on the tree; that it had been nullified by the states; that it had been lynched, so to speak, by the people of the south. He declared that the reconciliation of the theoretical status of the negro, under the constitution, should be reconciliation with his actual status in the public opinion of the country. He maintained that this repeal was best for the negro as well as for the white man, since both races had to live together, to prosper together or go down together. Every source of irritation between the two should be removed and the fifteenth amendment was the greatest. He asserted that the path of the negro to political and social rights lay through their deportment. He asserted that the path of the negro to political and social rights lay through the development of the unit, the individual, and that the only means was by industrial education. He lauded the generosity of the south for spending thirty-five years after its devastation, and out of its poverty, over one hundred millions of dollars for negro education, and pointed out that it was the duty of the federal government to assist in preparing its wards for the duties of citizenship. He said that it would be far more defensible for the country to spend ten or twenty millions a year in helping uplift the black man of the south instead of one hundred millions in putting down the brown man of the east. He believed that the establishment of a Tuskogee school in every county in the south and the multiplication of Booker Washington was the duty of national government; that the whites and black man are here and must live here and work out their own salvation; that the intelligence of the white man will always triumph and the black man must be content to take second place; that the interests of both races are identical and when one prosper both prosper; that it is possible for the two races to live together and prosper and that the negro furnishes the best labor for the south; that the question of suffrage should be left solely to the states, but they should see that the negro should have absolute protection to life and property. Rape cannot be stopped by lynching and the records show that where the lynchings are resorted to the crime of rape becomes more frequent. We must help the black man to become a good citizen. Mr. Cockran closed the meeting and the audience rose to their feet and for ten minutes applause continued. No such ovation was given a speaker at the conference. John Temple Graves of Georgia, in a ten minutes' speech, captured the crowd by saying after all that had been said, one fact was patent, "that when rape was committed there would be a lynching." NICARAGUA ROUTE FAVORED. Interoceanic Canal Commission Appears Before the Senate. Friday the entire membership of the interoceanic canal commission appeared before the senate committee in charge of the Hepburn bill. All of the members of the commission were given an opportunity to express their views and were questioned at considerable length by the senators. As to the Nicaragua route all reiterated what the Walker commission has reported—that the waterway is entirely practicable from an engineering standpoint at about the same range of estimates heretofore made, from $118,000,000 to $140,000,000. Japanese Town Burned Out. Mail advices from Yokohama say the bfg fire at Fukin, Japan, on April 18th, burned 1,600 houses, including thirty temples and all the principal buildings. Sixteen persons perished and a hundred were injured. The loss is 5,000,000 yen, or about $2,-500,000. Eight Years For Embezzler. In the United States court in Boston, Mass., Monday Chas. H. Cole, formerly president of the now defunct Globe National Bank, who recently pleaded guilty, to misappropriation of the funds of the institution, was sentenced to serve eight years in the Greenfield.

Negro Shoots White Man and Is In Turn Taken Charge of By a Mob With Usual Result. A tragedy occurred on a Summerville electro car Sunday afternoon, just before dark, in which Aleck Whitney, one of the best known young men in Augusta, Ga., a graduate of the Technological institute at Atlanta, was shot and killed by a young negro man, William B. Willis. Whitney and his friend, Lieutenant Pinckney Steiner, were riding together on the car when the negro, Willis, got on the car, accompanied by a negro woman. It was an open car with seats running across it from one side to the other, and the negro and his companion, Hattie Wade, got in at the seat occupied by Whitney and others. The negro told Whitney to get up and give the lady a seat, which he declined to do. The negroes forced themselves into the seat, the man sitting partly upon Whitney, who shoved him off forcibly. The two men grappled and the negro pulled a pistol and shot twice. One bullet entered Whitney's eye and the other missed, but grazed Pinckney Steiner's hand and buried itself in the back of a car seat. Steiner seized the pistol and prevented the third shot, the hammer coming down upon his hand. Whitney fell limp across the back of the seat in front of him, and the greatest excitement resulted among the passengers on the crowded car, women growing hysterical. The negro tried to escape from the car, but was seized by passengers, disarmed and was soon taken charge of by an officer who was attracted by the shooting. Whitney died as soon as he reached the hospital, where he was carried in the ambulance. The police authorities took quick action and within a few minutes twenty-five officers with rifles were on guard at the jail. They were at their posts but a short time when a mob of seventy-five people had assembled. The crowd prevailed upon Dr. T. A. Plunkett to enter the jail and ascertain if the prisoner was there. He reported in a few minutes that he was not. Divining the intention of the police, two separate mobs, it is said, boarded the two outgoing trains in order to catch the prisoner before he should reach a place of safety. The officers with their prisoner missed the central of Georgia train for Savannah, and after waiting some time at an out-of-the-way place, boarded the night train on the Georgia railroad for Atlanta. News soon reached Augusta to the effect that the prisoner was discovered on the Georgia train and taken off at Grovetown by the mob and lynched. A meeting of citizens late Sunday night decided to call the attention of the city council to the fact that the state law regarding the separate seating of whites and blacks was not being enforced. RUMORS OF UPRISING; Engaged Attention of American Officials In Manila the Past Week. The latest rumor of an outbreak in Manila among the natives, which was in circulation last week, was seriously discussed by some of the local propers, and attracted more general attention than has usually been the case with this sort of thing. As a matter of fact many Filipinos did leave the American employers with the apparent intention of joining some such movement. Their action, taken in connection with the arrest of several natives for carrying concealed weapons and the dispersion of several suspicious gatherings, gave color to the reports. The officials have been active in the matter, but are not inclined to think an uprising will be attempted. ST. LOUIS FOLK WALK. Ne Sunday Cars Run-District Attorney Threatens Injunction. An earnest effort was made Saturday to settle the street railway strike at St. Louis by means of arbitration along the lines suggested by W. H. Woodward and other employers of union labor. The efforts came to nothing, however, as the strikers and street car companies could not be brought together on any proposition involving the recognition of the union in the manner desired. Not a wheel on any of the lines, except of the mail cars, was turned in the city Sunday. EMPLOYES SUSPECTED. The Chicago Waterworks Department Alleged to Be Out $200,000. A scheme by which the city of Chicago has been *defrauded out of sums aggregating $200,000, according to Chief Detective Coloran, has been unearthed by detectives and two men are now in jail charged with conspiracy, while seven others are under surveillance. Clarence M. Wolfe and Geo. W. Pigott, employees of the water office in the city hall, are under arrest charged with participating in the conspiracy which it is said has been LODGE ASKS FOR STRONGER NAVY Massachusetts Senator Makes an Invincible Argument. DECLARES WE ARE MECLARED Says Germany Has Covetous Eyes on the Western Hemisphere and We Should Be Alert. A Washington special says: The possibility of a clash with Germany over the Monroe doctrine was forcefully laid before the senate and the country Friday by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, in the course of a vigorous speech against the construction of an armor plate plant by the government. The particular significance of this declaration that we must look to such a contingency over either the Danish West Indies or Germany's desire to get more power in South America lies the fact that Senator Lodge is usually very reticent on all matters pertaining to foreign relations and further that he is generally recognized as representing the views of the president and state department on the matter. When, therefore, he declared, that there were such possibilities to be considered his declarations were given greater weight than such talk coming from almost any other senator. When consideration of the naval bill was resumed the pending amendment was that offered by Senator Tillman for a straight price of $300 per ton for armor and a government armor factory not costing over $4,000,000. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, speaking in opposition to the amendment, said that for the past three years the senators from South Carolina and New Hampshire—Mr. Tillman and Mr. Chandler—had been endeavoring to get armor at a low price. The net result of their work had been to put a stop to the construction of a navy. He had no prejudice against a government armor plant, but to stop the building of all ships until the armor plant could be erected, would, he thought, be a flat mistake. "My reason for desiring more ships," said he, "and desiring them quickly, is my belief that the safety of the United States depends upon the strength of our navy. We do not need the navy for the protection of our insular possessions. The danger lies in our own great coast line and in the defense of the Monroe doctrine in the western continent. For the defense of this great coast line and the cities studding it we have no adequate fleet. We are about to enter upon the construction of an isthmian canal, to defend, control and operate which we must be the naval master of the Caribbean sea. We must have a far more powerful fleet than we have today. The safety of the canal depends upon our fleet. "A great fleet is the greatest insurance of peace. We should not close our eyes to the possibilities of the situation. We could never allow the Danish islands to pass into any other hand than ours. The European nation which should undertake to take possession of those islands right on the road to the canal and to make of them great naval stations would by that very act become an enemy of ours. We could submit to no such thing as that. The Monroe doctrine is a great protection to the United States. Men of all parties—Democrats, Republicans and Populists—without distinction, adhere to that. "I am by no means sure that some European nations, perhaps one whose navy is now receiving such a rapid increase, may not test the Monroe doctrine. We may be called upon to protect that doctrine in Brazil or some other country. Already too much time has been lost. If the Monroe doctrine should be endangered or if our coast should be menaced, we would be prepared and it would be a weak excuse that we had been engaged in throttling an egregious monopoly." In a colloquy with Mr. Lodge, Mr. Tillman said it was well known that the navy of the United States was superior to that of Germany. Mr. Lodge pointed to the great increase that now was being made in the German navy. "If the senator thinks," said Mr. Lodge, "there is no danger to be apprehended, I fear he underrated the importance of the subject—a subject to which I have given much thought and consideration." Mr. Ellis, of West Virginia, argued against plants, as did Mr. Allison, who spoke on the score of economy. The latter said it would be four years before a government armor plate could be put on a ship. Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, addressed the construction of a government armor plate.

REGISTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE SAVANNAH POST OFFICE. SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1900. FROM sentiment expressed by the white voters, there will hardly be another primary for county officers. It is publicly reported that white men sold their votes last Tuesday. For the information of the public we will state that no Negro was allowed to vote. The following were elected Bishops by the A. M. E. Conference at Columbus, O: Revs. M. M. Moore, E. T. Shaffer, C. S. Smith, E. Tyree, and L. J. Coppin. The entertainment loving Negro, the thoughtless and worthless class, are the ones that cause the degradation of the race. But why judge the entire race by this per centage? THERE is a certain class of the opposite race that is making strenuous efforts to cause the Negro to be shown up in the most ridiculous and meanest light possible. One of the efforts is to impress the people of another section of the country with the worthlessness of the Negro. To a certain extent they are succeeding, but they are so intent about it until they have shown their cloven foot, and the Negroes' friends are seeing through their schemes and will credit them accordingly. It has been repeatedly stated, especially in this county that the Negro voter woll sell his vote. He has been branded from Dan to Beersheba and has been made the scape-goat generally. One of the reasons why the present state-primary was inaugurated was to eliminate the Negro vote so that a pure election could be held. But has our friends, the white democrats, succeeded in purifying the election by having the white primary? Any one that witnessed the scenes around the court house of this county on Tuesday and read the accounts of the same in the daily papers would readily answer in the negative. It is said that an enormous sum of money was used in this election, and that white men in large numbers sold their votes. Can the opposite race, without being inconsistent, make this charge against the Negro any more while there are so many corruptionists within their ranks? Wright's Affidavit. The republicans of Georgia will read with amazement following affidavit which is being circulated for signatures by President Wright of the Georgia State Industrial College. It has been admitted by everybody that the Republican State Convention of March 7th., was one of the most orderly and fairest conventions ever held. It will be observed that the affidavit makes an attempt to have men commit perjury. The original is in our possession, sent us by a delegate. It is a tissue of falsehold and shows up the author in his true character which however does not surprise Georgia republicans, as the man has been constantly engaged in creating strife in the republican party: "Personally appeared before me a Notary Public in and for the said County, who being duly sworn deposes and says that he was present as delegate from—County, representing the Republicans of said County in the State Convention; that he was there expecting to vote for the election of Maj. R. R. Wright, as one of the four delegates at large, and that he desired and called for the roll call on the election of said delegates in order that he and others might vote, but that the opponents cause considerable confusion in the hall and refused to have a roll call. "Deponent saw in the hall a number of persons who were not delegates and deponent believes that such persons voted during the confusion as it was impossible to determine who were and who were not regular delegates. "Deponent further says that if a roll had been called he is satisfied that Maj. R. R. Wrihgt and those associated with him would have been elected delegates to the National Convention." Mr. Wright seeing that the chance for success as a contestant from the State at large being so very slim, he has since fallen into a dead man's shoe and is a full contestant from this district. He will hear a terrific crash within the next thirty days. There is a class of our white friends in the South that seems to be very much interested in the welfare of the Negro insomuch that at various times they have called Conferences at different places to discuss the race question. At these conferences men of varied experiences and views are united and a medley of remedies are suggested thereby. It does no harm whatever to have these discussions. It puts the Negro and the entire country to thinking. But the efforts of our friends and of all of those who attend these conferences could be put to a more noble and glorious purpose; and that is to unite in giving the Negro the same showing that is accorded other races. This is the home of the Negro. He knows no other. He is going to remain here and no power other than divine, will cause him to do otherwise. As this is a fact, and as all parties concerned are anxious for development of the country upon every line that will be beneficial, it would be well for them to accord to the Negro simple justice. Let those who are foremost in working up these conferences use their efforts toward educating the minds of those who take advantage of the Negro, and let them know that for the sake of the peace and prosperity of the country, it is necessary to be less prejudiced and vigorous in their treatment of the Negro. The most thoughtful ones among the Negro are advocating the feeling of thorough friendship between the races. This is necessary for the welfare of all concerned. Capt. Lyons' Address. On Thursday of last week, Capt. J. W. Lyons, Register of the Treasury, made an able address before the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, at Washington, D. D. Among what he said is the following. 3,039,170 of the colored people are engaged in gainful pursuits, and only 32,994 are in the professions. The professional class includes 12,150 clergymen and 15,008 teachers, leaving just a little over 6,000 following other callings listed as professions. In the matter of education he show ed that the colored people had made marvelous progress, to which there is no parallel in the annals of time. He asserted that when Governor Merriam foots up his returns this year it will he discovered that 58 per cent of the colored people can read and write, whereas thirty-five years ago not 3 per cent could do so. He said that colored men seek education on all lines because it is the American custom, and not to do it would argue one not a good American. He said if more colored men are convicted of crime in proportion than others it must be remembered that, being of the proscribe race, it is just possible indeed probable that the same equal and exact justice may not be deliberately measured out to them as to others. It is unfortunate for the colored man in the north, he argued, that he cannot readily and easily connect himself with the labor organizations. This being true, perhaps, in proposition, more of them are out of employment than would otherwise be, and as there are laws against vagrancy they may be convicted for not working when they can't get work, and so for this offense the statistics of crime would be swelled against them. One of the chief difficulties in the south, he said, is due to the uncertainty of the law in some places. Wherever you find a county with an established reputation for law and order and the strict enforcement of contracts you will find that the colored people remain on the farms, old and young, and the landlord finds his possessions appreciating yearly and the income therefrom increasing under a tenantry that does not change every Christmas, but is stationary, prosperous and contented. Save the Children. "Save the boys and girls, and you will have saved the race." My kind friends:—It is thought by many that a woman's voice is to extend not beyond that, which she calls home, or in her direct female circle, but too long has she remained silent in giving her view of the solution of this question: Where shall the Negro be placed? Having for years lived in a city with a small population, I have had the opportunity of being, as it were, with my people, as one in a large family. I have seen their proficiency and deficiency in their natural forms. The solution of this problem, to a very great extent, is left with the mothers of the Negro youths of this country. It is said that in ante bellum days, one neighbor could correct another neighbor's child, either by the tongue or the rod, and for it he would receive thanks. In my schoolhood days parents would frequently send word, or come themselves, to the teacher, urging him to correct their children. Was crime as great then as now? But what do the parents, especially the mother, say, when told by her child that he has been spoken to for some misdemeanor, by a neighbor, or been punished by the teacher? Directly they feel that the child has been mistreated. and nine cases out of every ten, unkind words and sometimes a court affair, are the result. Is it possible that mothers have just recently found, what true parental love, care and protection are? If this home training is continued then the majority of the boys and girls who will be the future men and women, need no, solution of this vexed question, for the result is clearly seen. Most of our eminent men are putting forth their greatest power, in speech and lecture, giving their conclusion in the most eloquent language, which tickles the ear of the educated, and astonishes the other race, as to such grand expressions. But what about the unlearned, who are in the majority? Don't you think if more practical talks, expressed in simple language, which they could more readily digest, were given them, the result would soon be seen for good? Here and there in our Negro papers can be found short editorials about the boys and girls misbehaving and doing unbecoming things on the street, and in a few words an appeal to their parents In that same paper will be found some long lecture, speech or political fight concerning the present time. As the whole north seems to be aroused over the question of christianizing the heathen world, the time is now full ripe, when the Negro, especially the mothers, should commence taking hold of this "Negro Problem" by studying the ways and means of developing their boys and girls into honest manhood and womanhood. If you think teachers are not competent now-a-days to correct your children, see that better ones are supplied, and make your children to feel that the teacher is next to parents. I fear that the educated part of the race is trying to soar too high in its expression of ideas, which is grand, but when the mass is to be reached and benefitted, the most simple expressions are the best, for when they take the time to unravel your sentences, the effect is lost. Then to those who have been blessed with educational advantages, can you devise some plan where-by the parents can be reached? Should the "problem" be solved in our favor, are you not fearful that the manner in which the children, as a whole, are being reared, that they will not be prepared for its full enjoyment? We have men and women who are as intelligent as those of any other race, will they not arrange to have parent conventions and gather those from rural districts, and small towns and cities as well as those from the large cities, to discuss this subject? In religious and political matters, conventions are largely attended, but what benefit will these gatherings be if there are but few being prepared to take the places of those of to-day? Go into the school-room, you will find one boy to every tenth girl; in the Sabbath school one, to every twentieth; but in the police courts, chain-gangs, penitentiaries, and on the gallows, the boys are in the majority. This is a sad state of affairs. Mothers, awake to your duty, stop the increase of crime, and prepare your children for what is coming! This, to my city friends, is but a child-like expression; should it convey to you, my heartfelt earnestness, a baby's prattle will suffice me, for it's the children in whom I am interested. Save the boys and girls of to-day, then you will have saved the great Negro race of 'to-morrow. Your country friend, JANIE B. GARNETT. Memorial Service The First Union Baptist church of Daufuski island, Rev. B. H. Renair, pastor, held most interesting memorial services on Sabbath the 13th inst., in respect to a deceased member and deacon of that church from its organization until the death of her aged servant, Marshall Miller. Besides the whole congregation of the island, there were present several from Savannah and Bluffton, the home of the deceased in his early manhood before the war between the States, also visiting deacons from other Carolina churches. Rev. Perry of the Bluffton Baptist church, and Rev. J. M. Simms of Savannah, who had been pastor of the Daufuski church for seven years, and intimately related to deacon Miller and his family and who on this occasion requested that he should preach the memorial discourse, which he did in a most acceptable manner from Acts xi chap. 14 v., taking the words "For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." After giving the history of his birth, in Virginia; sold as a young man to South Carolina, growing up and marrying at Bluffton, becoming converted he joined the New River Baptist church under the ministration of Rev. Farley Sweat, his faithful services as a man and a slave, his removal after the war to Daufort, and assisting Rev. Isaac Houston in organizing the church there, Rev. Simms then mo-t beautifully portrayed his christian character, the long, patient and important services he gave that people and the church, as a wise counselor, a sympathizing friend, and leader of the residents of the island among white and colored. His patient example in his long ill- ness, peaceful death and glorious immortal life with Christ. The assemblage was large, the day beautiful, the singing of the very excellent choir and the good order of the people, all made the occasion very interesting. There were large communion services in the afternoon and Rev. Perry preached a strong sermon at night from the text, John xvi: 22, when many came forward for prayer. The fields of the people look well-worked and crops healthy, with fine prospects for the future. Rev. Rennair has been pastor here for the past five years or more. Mr. Richard Bryan is superintendent of the Sunday school and Mr. Doctor Morell leader of the choir. From a 'Savannahian. Providence, R. I., May 8, 1900. Dear Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to express what source of pleasure it was to me to read a copy of a paper printed by my own people at my old home. My eyes never before traced the lines of a newspaper with such eagerness to note its contents. I was indeed, more than pleased to note the different things of interest to the race that are being done and said there, especially the proposed Medical Institute and the organization of the Y. M. C. A., a long-felt need in that city. I highly commend the promoters of it and wish it all the success it is capable of standing. Your paper contained so much news of interest to me that I really can't see why I did not subscribe for it before now. Although I keep in touch with my home through correspondence with my many friends down there, I think it's best to take THE TRIBUNE. I have been here ever since the 30th of last May, my wife came three months later, and am both thankful and proud to say we are getting along quite well. I have a permanent situation here with the largest builders in this city. I have charge of their painting department and am the only colored person employed by them. At present I have entire charge of the painting and hard wood polishing of a $150,000 building which they have erected here. They treat me very nice indeed, and I think I shall remain with them until they say I have "done enough." My sympathy is extended to the bereaved congregation of the First A. B. church, they have lost an able leader. I could write a great deal more but do not wish to consume any more of your valuable space. Fourth Anniversary. The Fourth anniversary of Mt. Herman Baptist church, Twin Hill, White Bluff, Rev. B. H. Rennair, pastor, took place on Sunday, May 6th, when the following program was carried out: 9 a.m. Sundayschool exercises, conducted by the pastor. At 11 a.m. the pastor introduced Rev. D. Waters, who opened the services by singing hymn, 737; prayer by the pastor; history of the church, read by Miss Victory Patterson. Rev. Waters used as his text Luke 10th chap.20th verse, subject: "Triumph of the church through Christ." Hymn by Rev. J. L. James, prayer by deacon Will Harris of Harris Neck, Lacey, Ga. Afternoon services—3 o'clock. Opening hymn 81, by pastor; Scripture reading, Timothy 7th chapter. Hymn 994, by Rev. J. L. James; Address on "The Qualification of the Deacon," by Bro. H. R. Rahn; closing remarks on the same by J. L. James. At 8 p.m. the communion of the Lord's Supper was administered. Benediction by Rev. Waters. We are proud to note the rapid progress made by this church since its organization, it being organized with only nine members, now has a membership of fifty four. May the Lord continue to bless and prosper them.X Mountain Air, Ocean Breeze.

It was a hotly waged one. Much money was spent and many bruised heads and faces were among the results. The greatest fight was between Hon. W. W. Osborne and Mr. W. C. Hartridge for the solicitorship. The former represents the Citizens Club and the latter the Liberal Club. On the eve of the election each side was confident of victory. Mr. Osborne was victorious by a majority of over nine hundred. The next interest centered in the receiver of tax returns. Mr. Marcus S. Baker opposed Capt. J. R. Dillon. The former was elected. The entire Citizen Club ticket was elected with the exception of Mr. J. S. Collins, for clerk of the city court. His opponent was Mr. Waring Russell, Jr. Mr. Russell is very popular with all classes, and this accounts for his success. One of the surprises of the election was the defeat of Capt. Dillon. He has been receiver of tax returns for a number of years and was considered a fixture. All of the old court house officers are retained with the exception of Capt. Dillon. Maj. Schwarz succeeds Mr. Sweeney as sheriff. Prof. Snelson Commended. In view of the fact that some of his own race seem incline to criticise adversely Prof. Floyd Snelson, who has charge of the colored public school in this city, the Herald desires to say that it would be much better for the colored race if there were more Floyd Snelsons in the south. Snelson is not only well educated and well informed, but he understands perfectly the conditions and relations that exist between the two races. He is conservative and reasonable and to his sound judgment and good management more than to any other cause is, in our opinion, to be ascribed the pleasant and friendly feeling that proverbially exist between these races in this community. No Negro can help his race who does not have the confidence, respect and the assistance of the race that dominates and controls. The colored man who sets himself up, as some do, to antagonize in every possible manner the white man and the white man's interests, is simply kicking against the pricks and will sooner or later come to grief, and drag his people with him. If the Negro expects to become prosperous and happy in the South, he must cultivate the genuine friendship of the whites and become worthy of their confidence nor need he lose sight of the welfare of his people at any time. In the opinion of the Herald, Prof. Snelson has come nearer filling these conditions than any colored man in this section and the best white people so understand it, and for this reason he receives their approbation and support.—Waycross Herald.

From a freewill offering, this small member ship raised nearly $80.00 during the day. Rev. Thomas deserves credit for bringing this church up to such a standard.

The Real Danger from heart disease is not the possibility of a sudden death, for they are comparatively few; but following in the wake of this dread disease comes a general breaking down of every organ of the body.

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, has rescued thousands who were given up to die, and it will help you, too, if you try it.

In every one of the 137 counties in the state of Georgia ballots were cast Tuesday for statehouse officials, Tn moro than two-thirds of this num- ber, there was a primary for state senator, member of. the legislature and for county officers, In the third district, represented bs Hon. E. B. Lewis, there was a contes! for congressional honofs, With this exception there were no other contests in congressional districts in the state. Congressman Lewis was opposed by Tadge Allen Fort, ‘The internal dissension in the Chat. ham couuty Democratic executive com: mittee was of exciting interest. In Baldwin county, Hon, Danio! B, Lanford, candidate for the legislature, withdrew from the primary, declaring that be could not get justice, In the Cherokee jydgeship contest there wos a rod-hot fight made on Judge George Gober. A similar fight was waged in Bartow county, where spicy features were it- jected into tho campaign, In Chatham,county the fight was for the solicitorship, and there was mach excitement and bitterness at the polls. ‘The friends of both candidates worked hard, The Osborne crowd captured tho polls at 4 o'clock and got abont 300 votes in the lead. In Savannah fights were of frequent occurrence. Forty police and twenty-four extra deputy sheriffs could not keep the fac- tions apart. The absence of a contest over the governorship and statehouse officers centered the strength of the fight in the judicial races which, in some cases, reached proportions of sensationalism. In the Cherokea circuit there was sprung an exciting race in the judge- ship between Jndgo A. W. Fite and Colonel Robert J. McCamy, The canvass preliminary to this vote was bitter in the extreme, many features of it being regrettable. The people, however, gave Judge Fite the indorse- ment,, and he -will be unanimously elected to succeed himself. _ BOERS ARE HERE. Peace Envoys Reach New York . and Receive a Royal Welcome, The steamship Maasdam, with the Boer peaco envoys on board, arrived at New York Tnesday. The revenue cutter Hudson, with the reception committee on board, went down the bay to meet and welcome the dele- gates. ‘The cutter escorted the Maasdam up the river to the docks in Hoboken. On board the steamer Judge Van Housen welcomed the envoys, saying. “We area committeo of citizens of New York who sympatize with your country in its strugglo for liberty and independence and who wish to make your visit to the city of Now York agree- able to you and personally advanta- geous to the nation of which you are representatives. In tho near future ‘we will extend you a more formal re- ception but on this occasion we simply say: * “Welcome!” ‘According to a Pretoria special to the New York Herald the envoy is empowered to take important action. ‘The correspondent says: ‘I have the highest authority for making the statement that rather than see their country conquered by England the commissioners are empowered to ask the United States to assume a protec- torate over the republics. Secretary Reitz, who is rapidly go- ing down under the strain he is un- dergoing, voiced this national hope in the words: ‘We will maintain our in- dependence if we can. If not, we will sppeal to the American people to take us under their wing. Surely the de- claration of independence is broad enough to span the ocean, Our last hope is that, having again carried our burden of persecntion into the wilder- ness to escape from England, we may be permitted to deposit it at the foot of the statue of liberty, to find peace snd protection under the stars and atrines.” BOERS ARB CONVENTRATING.

Gober and Mr, Moul- trie Kisoesious, which was somewhat lnrid, dividing the people to an extent not often witnessed in political con- tests, Here again thé sitting judge ‘was successful, having been nominated to succeed himself. ‘The old Northern circuit, renowned for its historic politics, sprung a sur- prise by the apparent nomination of Hon, J. N, Worley over Judge Reese and Colonel Holden, because of tho ‘phenomenal majority of 1,200 by which he carried the single county of Elbert. Colonel Holden made s strong race, but in view of this barricade set up in Elbert, Judge Worley seems to hold the fort. Judge John 8, Candler, of the Stone ‘Mountain district, has been hand- aomely indorsed and will still continue to dispense justice in hie part of the state. There were several judges who had no opposition, notable among whom was Hon. Sampse W. Harris, who always carrias everything before him, and Hon. John 0. Hart, of the Ocuulges circuit. Tn thé nominations of members of tho general assembly the result was not so general, owing to division of opinion in many counties about unit- ing that race ‘with the state houso ticket. Many candidates wished to have a contest for the legislature car- ried on under othér auspices, aad free from+the influence of accompanying contests, In a number of counties dates had alreadybeen fixed, and work had been directed so a8 to meot them, but in a respectable number the voting for members of the legislature was con- solidated with that of tho stato house ticket. The only contest for congress which Georgia will have during the presont campaign was that of the Third dis- trict between Hon. Elijah Lewis and Hon, Allen 'T, Fort, Mr. Lewis came home to meet the campaigning of Mr. Fort, and a two weeks’ fight precedel the primary, The renomination of Mr. Lewis isa strong indorsement of his career in the house. The crowning though a quiet feat- ure of the contest, was the roto in every county for United Statos senator. For the first time the oficial ballot bore the name of a candidate for United States senator, and Hon. Augustus O, Bacon will owe his next nomination to the act of the voters themselyos with- ont intermediary or previous cam- neiening: SOUTHERN BAPTISTS ADJOURN. Convention Ends at Hot Springs to Meet Next Year In New Orleans. The Sonthern Baptist convention adjourned at Hot Springs Monday night to meet next year in New Or- leans. ‘The feature of the closing day's meeting was the speech of Charles S. Morris, a negro missionary from Africa, The convention, disregarding the rules, applauded him again and again for his utterances. He eaid Africa was tho negro’s field. Tho white man could not stand it, ‘The negro was the true missionary for this country. The first modern missionary work was not done by Carey, but the noble white women of the south who had taught the pagan blacks in that first Dutch slave ship about Jesus and His love. ‘This love in their hearts had caused ‘Pompey and Sambo to lie as bulwarks of protection in front of their master’s door for fonr long years. ‘the women ofthe south had clothed tho poor pagans and given them alangnago that was decigned to conquer the earth. He could see God’s hand in all of this as he was preparing for ovangelizing Africa, and tho time had come for the negro to enter upon this work, Ho pleaded for a negro to be sent out among the churches of his people in the south to arouse them to more ac- tivity in missions, At at the suggestion of Dr. Eaton, of Kentucky, a collection for this pur- pose was taken up, amounting to $108. ‘The boards of the convention were re-elected with few changes. Dr, W. W. Landrum was elected president of the home board to succeed Dr. Me- Donald. Dr, Willingham was re- elected secretary of the foreign wnission board*Dr. Kerfoot of tho home board, and Dr. Frost of the Sunday school board. In the midst of great enthusiasm the convention pledged itself to in- crease its offerings for foreign missions from $140,000, the amount given last year, to 2200,000. Convicted of Mall Robbery, Tn the United States court at -At- lante, Tuesday, Duane A. Russell, formerly a railway postal clerk on the line between Atlants and Birmingham, was convicted on a charge of robbing the mails.

Even Seagtors De It, A woll-dressed gentlemen, whose bearing indicated standing, refinement and wealth, clung to a strap in a Pennsylvania avenue car a few days ago, The car was crowded. When he was approached by the conductor and hig fare requested he ran his fingers in the little change pocket of his over- coat. His band sought his right trousers’ pocket, the Jeft and those of his vest, at last, going through every pocket in his clothes. A blank look of amazement over- spread tho gentleman's face, followed by a smile, in which the passengérs near him joined. “Mealy,” he exclaimed to the con- ductor, whose smile had not yet ap- ‘peared, “really, I am much em- barrassed, I find to my chagrin that I hayen’t any money whatever upon me, not even a car ticket, I will have to’ ask you to pass me on my face.” “I can't do that,” answered the con- ductor, “I don't know you. Could nottanyway.” “Can't you make an exception this time? I am Senator —, and will certainly send the fare to the company immediately upon reaching the cap- tol.” ‘The conductor jolned tn the laugh, which by thls thne had become gen- eral, and walked to the front end of the car.

The other day a wee little woman who lives In a suburb saw and heard s donkey for the first time, says the Cin ciunati Enquirer, She talked about 11 continually after getting home. It was a “good donkey,” It was alse a “beautiful donkey." In fact, the child wept completely through her small store of adjectives. And when her father came home at alght he heard the adjectives all over again. “And so you liked the donkey, dar. ling, did you?” he asked, taking the tiny lass on his knee. “Oh, yes, papa, I Hked him.
