Published by The TBIBUNE PTBLISHING COMPANY. VOL XVI FOR A CONVENTION People of Alabama Cast Thier Ballots Last Tuesday. Changes Are Wanted In Suffrage, the Courts and Local Tuesday the people of Alabama voted on the proposition to call a convention to assemble in Montgomery on May 21st to reform the constitution of the state to够s of the presentday. An exceedingly light vote was polled throughout the state, but the returns indicate that perhaps five-sixths of the counties have voted in favor of a convention being held. The principal reforms which the convention has in view are the suffrage, the courts, the terms of public officers and the abolishment of so much local legislation. No definite programme has been mapped out by any faction of influence and the convention will necessarily be in session some days before the drift of sentiment can be obtained. There has been apathy in every county in the state so far as reports go. The Democratic campaign committee has made a brief campaign, and speakers have been sent out, but nowhere have the people been greatly enthused. There has been no organization against the convention, as the opposition to it was simply declining to go to the polls. At Tuesday's election fifty-five delegates from the state at large were elected and one hundred the counties, each county being allowed so many delegates as it has members of the house of representatives. There will in no event be exceeding four or five Republicans or Populists in the convention. While the campaign has been a spirited one, another is already on which promises to be exceedingly lively. Mormer Governor Oates, Hon. John B. Knox, of Anniston, and Hon. Persent Lomax, of Montgomery, are all candidates for the presidency of the convention, and the liveliest sort of distance between them is in prospect. GEORGIA SOLDIERS' HOME ToBe Opened June 3d, the Anniversary of Jefferson Davis' Birthday. With appropriate and imposing ceremonies the Georgia Soldiers' Home at Atlanta, will be opened on June 3d, the anniversary of Jefferson Davis' birthday. This was decided upon by the board of trustees at a meeting Tuesday. A splendid programme is to be arranged for the occasion, all the local veteran organizations taking part. The Atlanta chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy and other like orders will have a prominent part in the exercises. The board elected James L. Wilson, of Putnam county, superintendent of the home from a list of eighty-five applicants for that position. Mr. Wilson was a gallant soldier in the Twelfth Georgia regiment and served throughout the war, principally in Virginia with Stonewall Jackson. The board also unanimously elected Dr. Henry Rossignol, of Habersham county, surgeon of the home. The surgeon will get a yearly salary of $200, together with his board. He will be required to remain at the home at all times. Mrs. Pinkney Thomas, of Augusta, was elected matron. WEEKLY PRESS ASSOCIATION. Georgia Editors Will Assemble In Forces at Athens July 16th. The dates for the session of the Georgia Weekly Press Association in Athens next July have been announced by President Coleman. They are the 16th and 17th of July. From Athens the editors will go to Buffalo to visit the Pan-American exposition. DAIRYMAN SKINNER INDICTED. Grand Jury Holds Him For Alleged Murder of Dr. beruggs. A Memphis dispatch says: J. W. Skinner, the wealthy dairyman charged with the assassination of Dr. Hal C. Scruggs, was indicted by the grand jury of the criminal court Tuesday afternoon. Skinner, who was out on $5,000 bail awaiting the action of the jury, was rearrested and jailed. Skinner still denies all knowledge of the crime. The latest developments strengthen the theory that the crime was the result of a deep-laid plot following a political feud, and that a number of people are mixed up in the affair. The Savannah AMERICANS GUARD GATES. Advices from Pekin state that many applications have been made to Mr. Rockhill and General Chaffee by Chinese of all degrees for the retention in China of the American troops until the withdrawal of the troops of all the powers. Many of those who are making this request think the withdrawal of the Americans will make the others remain longer. There are also people who do not desire to see any of the soldiers go, fearing anarchy and an uprising against foreigners. The soldiers who return do so with all the honors of war. Field Marshal Von Waldersee has made application that the gate of the Forbidden City be guarded by German troops after the departure of the Americans. General Chaffee has replied that American soldiers will continue to guard the gate. At this the Germans are indignant, saying this impugns their honesty and that if the United States desires to do her share of policing the city she should leave behind enough troops for that purpose; that merely a few men belonging to the legation guards should control the gate which will be within the German quarters cannot be allowed. If General Chaffee persists in this course, diplomatic representations will be made in the matter. The ministers of the foreign powers are meeting daily. They do not, at present, show a disposition to reduce the claims which many think to be extremely reasonable. It is understood in Washington that the Chinese plenipotentiaries at Pekin—Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang—are prepared to give a guarantee to the powers for the protection of all foreigners in China if the foreign troops now stationed there are withdrawn. Thus far the retention of the foreign troops has been urged as necessary in order to preserve order and protect foreigners, but the Chinese authorities say that order has been so far re-established that the imperial government is fully able to order the Chinese troops in such a way as to insure complete safety to the interests of all foreigners. This is understood to be the basis of the withdrawal of 10,000 French troops, and it is earnestly hoped among Chinese officials that this will be followed by a similar movement on the part of the other foreign forces in China. BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL BANDITS. Robbbers Secured Over $3,000 In Hold-Up of Express Train. It is stated that over $3,000 was secured in the hold-up of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf train Monday night, four and a half miles west of Memphis. The train rerched Little Rock half an hour late. Sidney Drew, the negro porter, who was shot by the bandits was taken to St. Vincent's hospital, where his wound was dressed. His condition is serious. C. T. Meader, the express messenger, was badly beaten over the head and shoulders with a pistol, but was able to continue his run. The passengers were not molested. Blood-hounds were immediately put on trail of the bandits. WYLLY QUITS SERVICE. Colonel and Governor Differred as to Small Item of Expense. An Atlanta dispatch says: The resignation of Colonel T. S. Willy, Jr., which was occasioned by a difference with Governor Candler regarding items of expense claimed by Colonel Willy to have arisen while he was in the discharge of his duty, has been accepted. An item of expense involved by Colonel Willy's command at Sylvania last month while dealing with the situation there when the five negroes were expected to be hanged for the murder of Herrington and Mears is the cause of the resignation, the governor having refused to approve part of the expenditure, and Colonel Willy paying it out of his own pocket. War Made on "Coflu Tacks." A bill was passed by the lower house of the Illinois legislature prohibiting the sale, giving away or bringing into the state of cigarettes, cigarette papers or any substitute therefor. UNITED STATES JUSTIFIED. Decision in Russian Sugar Case Announced By Classification Board. The board of classification of the United States general appraisers at New York announced a decision in the Russian sugar case Friday. The board, by a majority vote, holds that the United States government was justified in imposing a countervailing duty on Russian sugar. Boers Ambush Britishers. Lord Kitchener, in a dispatch from Pretoria under date of Thursday, says: "I regret to report that a party of the Ninth Lancers have been ambushed and Lieutenant A. McDonald and three men killed and flye wounded." MANIFESTO IS ISSUED Aguinaldo Advises His Countrymen to Lay Down Arms. The Americans Are Generous and Filipinos Will Obtain Liberty By Giving Heed. The following is Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino people, made public at Manila Friday evening: "I believe I am not in error in presuming that the unhappy fate in which my adverse fortune has led me, is not a surprise to those who have been familiar with the progress of the war. The lessons taught with a full meaning and which have recently come to my knowledge, suggest with irresistible force that a complete termination of hostilities and lasting peace are not only desirable, but absolutely essential to the welfare of the Philippine islands. "The Filipinos have never been dismayed at their weakness nor have they faltered in following the path pointed out by their fortitude and courage. The time has come, however, in which they and their advance along this path to be impeded by an irresistible force which, while it restrains them, yet enlightens their minds and opens to them another course, presenting them the cause of peace. This cause has been joyfully embraced by the majority of my fellow countrymen, who have already united around the glorious sovereign banner of the United States. In this banner they repose their trust and belief that under its protection the Filipino people will attain all those promised liberties which they are beginning to enjoy. "The country has declared unmistakably in favor of peace. So be it. There has been enough blood, enough tears and enough desolation. This wish cannot be ignored by the men still in arms if they are animated by a desire to serve our noble people, which has thus clearly manifested its will. So do I respect this will now that it is known to me. "After mature deliberation I resolutely proclaim to the world that I can not refuse to heed the voice of a people longing for peace, nor the lamentations of thousands of families yearning to see their dear ones enjoying the liberty and the promised generosity of the great American nation. "By acknowledging and accepting the sovereignty of the United States throughout the Philippine archipelago, as I now do, and without any reservation whatsoever, I believe that I am serving thee, my beloved country. May happiness be thine." To signalize this important step in the pacification of the country, General MacArthur orders the release, on swearing allegiance to the United States, of 1,000 insurgent prisoners. It is believed by the administration that the manifesto of Aguinaldo will have a decidedly good effect both in the Philippines and in this country. It will take some time for its dissemination among the Filipinos, but it is expected to be of considerable service, and to make more rapid the improvement in the situation which set in some time ago and has become quite marked of late. Especial gratification is felt at the unreserved tone of the document, and the full acceptance it indicates of American rule. This, it is felt, will bring to the support of the government many Filipinos, who, while wishing for peace, have hesitated to assist the Taft commission. In this country it is expected to reduce the criticism of the administration, and to cause less discussion of the war in the islands, and more consideration of the important matter of the best administration to be evolved for their government. It is to this work that the Taft commission is now bending all its energies. Aguinaldo, now that he has accepted American sovereignty, probably will be given considerably more liberty than he has enjoyed heretofore. His services will be used as far as possible in the pacification of the islands. GASPED IN COFFIN. Supposed Corpse Showed Signs of Life During Funeral Services. Mrs. Frank Marlow's funeral service was being conducted at her late home at. Merrimack, Ala., Thursday afternoon, when to the great astonishment of all persons present, the supposed corpse gave a gasp and showed every sign of returning life. Relatives sent for a doctor, who examined Mrs. Marlow, found her body warm and discovered a feeble pulse. For an hour and a half the physician worked with her in an attempt to bring the woman back to consciousness, but she eventually died. Tribune. BANK OFFICIALS SUICIDE. Defaulting President and Cashier End Their Miserable Exist- Charles Brown and E. L. Canby, president and cashier respectively of the First National bank of Vancouver, Washington, which was closed Saturday by the comptroller of the currency, committed suicide Saturday night two miles from the city, by shooting themselves with a revolver. Their bodies were found Sunday morning lying together in a small clump of bushes about one-half mile north of the Columbia school, which is situated on the outskirts of the town. They both used the same weapon, and Canby evidently died first, as the revolver was in Brown's hand. It is evident that Canby put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and blew the top of his head off. Brown then took it and shot himself in exactly the same way, falling over Canby's body. The fact that Brown's bicycle and an umbrella belonging to Canby were found a short distance out of town led to the belief that the two bank officials had taken their lives. Early Sunday morning a searching party started out and after several hours' hunt the bodies were found. Friday evening, Canby, upon being told by Bank Examiner Maxwell that the bank would not be permitted to open Saturday, went out in the yard behind the bank and attempted to shoot himself. His revolver failed to explode, although all five chambers were loaded. After failing to shoot himself Canby went back into the bank and he and President Brown left together, the latter taking his revolver. When Examiner Maxwell confronted the bank officials with the shortage of $31,000, which he had discovered, both men admitted their guilt. It is admitted that Brown and Canby had been speculating in stocks. Beside Brown's body there was found a package containing $25 and a note saying that the-money belonged to his daughter. Upon Canby's body the following brief note was found: "My Dear Wife—I feel what I am about to do is for the best. Forgive me if you can and try to live for our dear children. God bless you all, Good-bye. NED." While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who is now in charge as receiver, has made no official statement, it is known that the bank has loaned a large sum of money on insufficient security. According to his report to the comptroller of the currency there is a shortage of $81,000 in the bank's accounts and it is understood that a considerable portion of this was loaned to Brown and Cauby on their personal notes. About a year ago the bank reduced its capital stock from $100,000 to $50,-000. At that time about one-half of the so-called bad assets was "charged off." RICHARDS MAKES REPLY. Declares That Carter Has Made Many False Statements In Plea. A Washington special says: Solicitor General Richards filed in the United States supreme court Saturday a reply to the motion made by the counsel of Captain Carter, to strike from the files of the court as "irrelevant and scandalous" the solicitor general's brief in opposition to Carter's motion to be admitted to bail pending the decision of his appeal in his habeas corpus proceedings. Mr. Richards denies that he went outside the record in the case, and asserts that he always tries to observe strictly the rules of the court requiring counsel to confine himself to the facts of record in the discussion of a case. He sets forth that Carter's application for bail is supported by affidavits of physicians to the effect that the prisoner's health is impaired, and this, Mr. Richards says, is not only entirely outside the record, but is false. Mr. Richards also says that Carter's counsel went outside the record in the appeal case in averring that Carter is an innocent man and wants to be released in order to be tried in the criminal case in Georgia. He adds that to demonstrate the falsity of this last statement it was necessary for the solicitor general to state what the government has done in prosecuting the indictment against Carter and others in the federal courts of Georgia. AGUINALDO IN NEW QUARTERS. Captive Filipino Leader is Transferred to a Private Residence. A Manila dispatch says: Aguinaldo has been removed from the Malacanang Palace to a private residence, No. 56 Solano street. The guard placed over him has been modified. General MacArthur informed the representative of the Associated Press that the effect of Aguinaldo's address to the Filipinos would undoubtedly be beneficial. Aguinaldo composed his address without assistance. The original was in Tagalog. It was afterwards translated into Spanish.

Gen. and His Wife Arrive at New York En Route to Washington to Introduce Commission. General Leonard A. Wood, governor general of Cuba, with Mrs. Wood and his private secretary, arrived at New York Tuesday night from Havana on the Ward liner Morro Castle. General Wood, who expects to return to Havana by way of Jacksonville, Fla., has made the hurried trip to this country for the purpose of introducing to President McKinley, before the latter leaves Washington for the Pacific coast, the five members of the special commission on foreign relations appointed by the Cuban constitutional convention, which is still in session and expected to take up for consideration soon the electoral law which will regulate the system by which the first president of the Cuban republic will soon be chosen. As soon as the steamship was made fast to the pier, General Wood, his wife and secretary were transferred to the tug boat President and carried to Jersey City in time to catch the 9:25 p. m. train for Washington. General Wood did not hesitate to talk about affairs in Cuba. "The object of my hurried visit here," he said. "is to introduce the five members of the special commission on foreign relations appointed by the Cuban constitutional convention to President McKinley. The members of the commission represent all the different groups of Cubans composing the constitutional convention. They have come to the United States for the purpose of conferring with President McKinley on matters which the convention does not thoroughly understand, and when they return and make their reports I am convinced that there will be thorough understanding on all sides of the controversy. "The constitutional convention has never voted on or rejected the Platt amendment. This I can state positively, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary which have been sent to the United States from Havana. Things have been cabled here which had not the slightest foundation, in fact, which described strained relations between the representatives of the United States and those of the Cuban people. "Everything has been harmonious since I went to Cuba and the convention now in session is a thoroughly representative one. Before the Platt amendment was passed by congress the Cubans knew the desires of this government on the issues which the amendment contains, because they were submitted to them through the executive. Intervention and the establishment of naval stations are the two things which they do not properly comprehend, and I think that when they are fully explained in Washington the only indication of a difference of opinion will have been removed. "There are really but two great questions to be settled. One is the reduction of the duty on sugar and the other is the passage of the constitution. One is economic and the other political, yet in a measure they are akin. After the constitution has been properly framed and adopted the economic question will disappear as there must be a great reduction in the duty on sugar. Then Cuba will be prosperous and its relations with the United States settled on a solid basis. "Today all the departments on the island are practically in the hands of the Cubans, who have been instructed as to how things can be managed, and when the time arrives all we will have to do will be to take a receipt for the money on hand. "At the request of congress we have accounted for every dollar expended in the improvement of Cuba since the military forces have been in charge of the island, and we hold the receipts for these expenditures. There never was such an accurate accounting demanded, before, and it has been complied with. There was some trouble in the postoffice at first, but the Rathbone-Neely cases have been thoroughly worked up and the men will be brought to trial in May. The bonds of these men have been forfeited and will have to be paid. "While I have said that everything has been harmonious since I have been in charge of Cuban affairs, I must, however, explain that it was impossible for me to please everyone down there and especially the ambitious and disappointed speculators. Also, I found it necessary to close the mails to La Discussion on account of a caricature which was likely to create trouble." 5 per annum; 750 for Six Months, s; Single Copies 5c. In Advance. NO 29. FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST. The sultan has appointed a commission of ministers to devise measures to counteract the agitation of the party of Young Turkey, whose members are again active. Nine different languages and dialects are used in the text of the new Austrian bank notes which are designed by Alender Hedegnes, the eminent Hungarian artist. In 1884 Great Britain possessed only 551 journals, of which 14 were issued daily. Now there are no fewer than 2,448 newspapers and 2,446 magazines, making 4,694 in all. The famous observatory on the Beeberg, near Gotha, once the scene of the labors of the famous astronomers, Euckel, Zach and Lindenau, was destroyed by fire recently. It is contemplated to issue a new coin from the French mint of the value of two and a half centimes. It would be principally for the use of very poor persons, who would be able thereby to buy the equivalent of a farthings worth.

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHINGCO 116 W. St. Julian Street. We should do everything that would be conducive to our best development. The Chicago Conservator is making it "hot" for the preachers of that city with shady reputation. ALLOW the Negro to remain in ignorance; it will effect the standing of those who are responsible for it. EVERY colored person appreciates the words of encouragement and good cheer uttered by those of an opposite race. WHILE in Savannah, Georgia's governor made a speech at Bethesda Orphanage. It was one of the governor's characteristic speeches. MANY of those of the south who protested their friendship for Negro seem to dislike the idea of other sections help- what is being should face be after his in even dating and life. just the opists Negro more school gs, Georgia or the high- gro, yet many against the friends for this LET GEOFFREY give to the Negro children thousands of dollars that are lying in its treasury that rightly belongs to them. If this money could be secured, all of the necessary buildings and facilities could be given the State College that would be sufficient for years to come. In speaking to a local reporter, Gov. Candler saw fit to touch upon the Negro. In alluding to him he is reported to use the word "darkey," each time. The man who holds the position of chief magistrate of this Empire state of the South, should be one of broad mind, high toned and above using slurring epithets in alluding to a part of its citizens. The governor may not be reported correctly, in fact we are in hope that he was incorrectly reported. A PARTY of northern friends have been in the south during the past two weeks, visiting several educational institutions. Their idea is one of philanthropy without mercenary motive. The motive of their visit has been badly impugned. Some of the members of the party were ridiculed by the chief magistrate of the state. Savannah's narrow-gauged afternoon paper saw no good in their visit. In all of this the narrowness of some of our southerners can be easily discerned. It is not the very best thing for those who are "living in glass houses" to say anything reflective about others. This has been demonstrated in the case of W.Hannibal Thomas, the traducer of his race. He is being justly vilified all over the country. The Presbyterian Herald of New York, informs us that "The Rev. Chas. T. Walker, D. D., delivered a lecture in Mt. Olivet Baptist church on Thursday, on the libelous book of J. Hannibal Thomas. An examination into the life of Mr. Thomas reveals the fact that he is not only a thief, but a moral laper." ONE of our local contemporaries set an editorial precedent in the issue of last week. The senior editor of the paper wrote a strong article protesting in a manly way against one who endeavored by his cringing statement to lower the dignity of the race. This article was not on the editorial page where it rightly belongs, but on another with the senior editor's name signed to it. On the editorial page there was a leader rebuking the senior editor for his manly defense of his race and showing up the man who declares that it would have been better for the Negro to have been given "forty acres and a mule" than the ballot. In the death of Mr. Albert Jackson, our people have lost a citizen of great repute, a man of sterling quality and a representative that any race would be proud of. In his quiet, yet effective way, Mr. Jackson has built a monument for himself; one that will be lasting in the minds of those who are aware of his excellent qualities, and it will ever be transmitted. Mr. Jackson has always been intensely interested in the welfare of the race, and no one felt the pangs of insults and discriminations more than he did. In the commercial world, through energy and mere integrity he built a solid foundation and was looked upon by the leading business men, as being strictly reliable in every transaction. He was conservative, yet not narrowly so; his judgment on all important questions, was generally sound; his advice was sought for by many and in each case he was found to be correct The life and business transactions of this noble man, should be an example for all of our young men, and should be the cause of giving them an incentive for greater achievement. The death of Mr. Jackson is a distinct loss to the Negro, but he has left an excellent legacy for uprightness and business integrity that we can profitably emulate. AFTER visiting the poor farm of this county, the governor was impressed with the necessity of a reformatory for youthful prisoners. He declared that one should be formed by deducting from the Negro's part of the school fund to run it. "Forty Acres and a Mule." In our issue two weeks ago, we saw proper to criticise the president of the Ga. State Industrial College for his unfortunate utterance in declaring that the Negro would have been better off with "forty acres and a mule" than with the ballot. Since this several of our exchanges handled the major without gloves. In winding up its rebuke the Washington Bee states: "What is Professor Wright after? Is he looking for another job? Is his appeal for national aid an indication for something for himself? Would it not be in good taste for Prof. Wright to remain quiet a little while before The Bee publishes some unwritten history." The assertion of Mr. Wright is not only unfortunate, but is vicious. In making that assertion he has played into the hands of those who are endeavoring to wrest the ballot from the Negro, and has given them an excellent plea to put into execution that which they so much desire. Our protest, and that of the other loyal Negro papers against Mr. Wright's utterance, is correct. Use has already been made of it. The narrow-gauged afternoon paper published in this city, has used it as a theme to discountenance Negro manhood and to ridicule northern friends who have been so much interested in the Negro's welfare. Prof. Wright said some sensible things before the commission, but all that he said was as naught in comparison with that one declaration. It is said by some that he did not make the assertion; if that be true, let him come out like the able man he should be and place himself right and let the people of this country know that Georgia has produced an educator who, will not pander to sentiment that is degrading to his race, and who will be ever ready and willing to defend the citizenship of his race, rather than regretting the constitutional right that has been attained through the struggle of loyal friends who were imbued with the feeling of human rights. College Dots. Miss Jackson, our matron, has the sympathy of the students and teachers in her great bereavement, the loss of her brother, Mr. Albert Jackson. The Industrial department under the direction of Supt. Himes is preparing an exhibit for commencement. Miss Smith of the sewing department is also preparing an exhibit. These exhibits are rounding into shape and bid fair to reflect much credit upon the work of the departments. Some of our young men have gone to their schools which could not wait for them any longer. Messrs. Coakley, Cosey, Clark, Protho, and the Bryan brothers are now teaching. The students are remaining in their classes unusually well this year. The Hon. G, R. Glenn, State School Commissioner has, issued a letter heartily endorsing the coming summer school to be held on this campus. All signs points to a large attendance. Instructor Cobb has returned and resumed charge of his classes. The Acme Literary Society is holding exceedingly interesting sessions. The young men of the preparatory are to be commended for their energy in this matter. Mr. B. Lawton is the new president of the Philosophian. The Phi Kappa is now in the throes of an election. Band-master Haigler has composed a piece of music, entitled "Our President March," and his band renders it with excellent ef- fect. Mr. Haigler is to be commended for the marked success he is having with the band. The Rev. Silas X. Floyd of Augusta, Ga., preached a most excellent and inspiring sermon Sunday afternoon in Meldrum Auditorium. He is traveling in the interest of the Baptist Publication Society. Rev. Mr. Maxwell, an alumnus of the college, assisted him. Mr. Maxwell is preaching and teaching at Syllania, Ga.; he reports his work in good shape. President Parsons of the S. T. & I. H. Ry., and Mrs. Parsons, and Capt. Thomas visited the college Tuesday afternoon, and inspected the work of the various departments. They were highly pleased with what they saw. Miss Drusilla Blyler came to see us also. She reports the Bullock County teachers, have voted to attend the summer school. Supt. Travis is busy getting in his spring and summer garden truck. The school farm presents a fine appearance despite the cold snap. His Only Defense. The repeated attempts at argumenting interest in politics, by forming leagues and clubs, seem to be without perceptable effect on the organizers, and less on the underbush, excepting the time that immediately precede elections and only last a short time after. There is an amusing something, or lack of something, which tends to lapse many into their former state of political lethargy. Leagues and clubs are good things, but to organize is one thing, staying organized another. Speaking directly without fear or favor, praise or promise, every Republican is guilty of the lax condition of affairs in regards to organization and the building up of the G. O. P., throughout the State; yea, even the South. The increment must eventually come through that channel. How to get it should be of great moment to the leaders at all times as well as the followers some days. Let well-enough be the prerequisite for emancipation of your pessimism at this time not being able to see with naked eyes, the well-enough. I am sure that no one will that has the party in mind, say that nine hundred Negro votes in Chatham, and about sixty thousand in the State is satisfied with the present state of apathy. Unless there is immediate taking hold, by some body, the party may even go to worse. Laying aside all individual and factional differences arising from self aggrandizement—the bitterness within and facing the true condition with many other differences—will be plashed, that will merit in the highest degree true leadership The Republican party of Georgia, have good leader, but no great amount of barking. The rank and the file must be there you know. Some are prone to look askance upon the situation, as it from time to time is given attention in the press and a relative lack of ardor is manifested by a goodly number of the leaders towards its solution. What I would like to know, next to being a good christian; is not being a citizen one of the most glorious things on earth? Ocourse there are good citizens in their way, that are guiltless of many the atrocities that man fell heir to since the beginning, but they don't pay their taxes hence are abased from the highest privilege accorded man on the legal right to vote, a privilege if properly applied is as secured as the right to pray. The man that pays his taxes and votes, has something to look forward to. His children can point with pride to the fact that their father was a citizen. Some think they are citizens because they live in a city and boast that they are of some account; probably they are for the same reason that some people think they are Christians because they want to go to heaven. A man is just as easily a captain because he wears a cap. Men are admitted and given the secret right in lodges, (without a question as regards their citizenship.) Others made to swear allegiance to the state when they bear arms. There are also men who are enjoying an iterative blessing of a beacon of tolerance for their taxes, and on the slightest provocation argue "imperialism" the "cold standard" "sixteen to one" the "race question," and even the disposition that should be made of "Argulado." These are the people that generally kick about the laws that are enacted i injurious to them, when inserted, there by their lax activity, make of them-elves vulnerable targets for the tenchant pen and an easy prey for the virulent tongue. Civilization without the suffrage is like "a bird in a gilded cage."

The duty of its rightful use, rests with your soul alone. In Memoriam of Dr. E. K. Love, D. D., Who departed this life April 24th, 1800, at At Savaannah, Ga in the full triumph --- The subject of this sketch, the beloved pastor of the First African Baptist church, was a man of much ability and zeal; a man, though opposed in many instances, never gave way to discouragement and despair. His life work was spent in preaching the gospel of Christ, teaching and reaching the masses and uplifting humanity. We can only say of him that our loss is heaven's gain, and he is resting in the land of B-ulah. He best came to us. Thou hast gone to the grave: The church weeps over thee: The spirit has gone, far from sorrow and care, Apostles and prophets and martyrs are there; The spirit has gone to those regions of light, Where hope is fruition, and hope changed to sight. The spirit is blest, for 'twas washed in the blood. Of Mason thy Savior, Emanuel God; The spirit is blessed for Jesus would bless One clothed in the robe of His own righteous- ness.

On Sunday afternoon last at the Second Baptist church, the evangelist, Rev. S. L Johnson, who has for the past six weeks done such valuable work in our midst, delivered a special discourse to the host of people who have been reclaimed during the meeting. While the talk was aimed especially for the young converts, it was as applicable to all present. The reverend spoke along the line of how to live, taking up the various amusements and indulgences that are regarded as "no harm". Among which of course he classed card playing and dancing. To say the least the lecture was one of the greatest and most forceful ones of its kind ever listened to; and if heeded by the hearers will be an impetus to lead them to better actions and higher plains of living. The large number of young people present seemed to be quite affected, and many resolves have been made to leave off many of the "no harms" that they have indulged in. As a proof of the good the lecture did, a party of young men, some of whom were christians and others were not, who had formed themselves into a circle and had all arrangements made to give an evening social at Morse's hall last night, went immediately after listening to the lecture, and cancelled the entertainment. This is praise worthy of these young men, as they had gone to quite an expense for the entertainment. This step is to be commended by all. Following are the gentlemen composing the Circle : Robert. B Fields, Chas. C. Burke, Edward S. Williams, John T. Meyers Willie G. Williams, Benjamin J. Pearson, William Ward, Jesse H. Hopkins, James H. Coston, Henry O. Ward, Frank D. Dilworth, John H. Law, Chas. Graham, Daniel Laurey, Edward O. Herb, W. H. Mason, Alonzo Davis, Walter F. Chislom, Edward Middleton, Charley Richardson, J. H. Hohenstein, Thomas W. Stevens Chairman. Below are expressions by these young men: "A word to the wise is sufficient." The 20th, Century Circle evening gathering, April 28th, is hereby abandoned. Owing to the brilliant lecture rendered at the Second Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon last by the esteemed evangelist S. L. Johnson, in which he briefly remarked of the indulgence of Christians in entertainments where dancing is to be a feature, and the harm originated thereof, we the Circle wish to announce to our respective guests, by the unanimous consent of the Circle—that we have abandoned all preparations made for the said entertainment. in obedience to our blessed Savior's will, through the concave advice of the Rev. Johnson. We further wish to openly exert our gratitude towards the reverend, for his advice has certainly benefited us much—so much so that several of our young men have accepted salvation, and they will ever be as a memorial of him among us no matter where he goes. We intend in future—through the assistance of the Almighty God—to dwell within the shadow of His words of advice. Given A Gold Watch. Mr. Jas. Guyler, who has been foreman of the Georgia Car Works for the past four years, was the recipient of a fine gold watch on Tuesday last.
