Cocise Answer In Compliance With Hoar Resolution Calling for Information—United States Not a Party to Fomenting a Revolution—Only Question Is Whether or Not We Shal Build Canal. The principal features of the president's message, sent to the senate in compliance with Senator Hoar's resolution asking for a full statement of the banana matter, are as follows: I lay before the congress for its information a statement of my action up to this time in executing the act entitled "An act to provide for the construction of a canal connecting the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans," approved June 28, 1902. By the said act the president was authorized to secure for the United States the property of the Panama Canal Company and the perpetual control of a strip six miles wide across the isthmus of Panama. It was further provided that "should the president be unable to obtain for the United States a satisfactory title to the property of the republic of Colombia within a reasonable time and upon reasonable terms, then the president should endeavor to provide for a canal by the Nicaragua route." This act marked the climax of the effort on the part of the United States to secure, so far as legislation was concerned, an interoceanic canal across the isthmus. When this government submitted to Colombia the Hay-Herran treaty three things were, therefore, already settled. One was that the canal should be built. The United States had assumed in connection with the canal certain responsibilities not only to its own people, but to the civilized world, which imperatively demanded that there should no longer be delay in beginning the work. Second. While it was settled that the canal should be built without unnecessary or improper delay, it was no less clearly shown to be our purpose to deal not merely in a spirit of justice, but in a spirit of generosity with the people through whose land we might build it. The Hay-Herran treaty, if it erred at all, erred in the direction of an over-generosity toward the Colombian government. In our anxiety to be fair we had gone to the very verge in yielding to a weak nation's demands what that nation was helplessly unable to enforce from us against our will. It is plain that no nation could construct and guarantee the neutrality of the canal with a less degree of control than was stipulated for in the Hay-Herran treaty. A refusal to grant such degree of control was necessarily a refusal to make any practicable treaty at all. Such refusal therefore squarely raised the question whether Colombia was entitled to bar the transit of the world's traffic across the rathmus. That the canal itself was eagerly mandated by the people of the locality through which it was to pass, and that the people of this locality no longer longed for construction under American control, are shown the unanimity of action in the newabama republic. Furthermore, Columbia, after having rejected the treaty in spite of our protests and warnings when it was in her power to accept it, has since shown the utmost earnestness to accept the same treaty, only the status quo could be re- third. Finally the congress dehydrogenated settled where the canal was to build. It was provided that a treaty should be made for building the across the Isthmus of Panama; after reasonable time, it moved impossible to secure such that then we should go to Nicaea. The treaty has been made; it needs no argument to show the intent of the congress was to secure a canal across Panamn, and that whether the republic granting the treaty was called New Granada, Colombo or Panama, mattered not one. As events turned out, the question of "reasonable time" did not enclose the matter at all. The president quotes from The Washington Post, The New York Herald and other papers, showing that fear of secession was abroad and in Panama during the latter part of August and early in September. hard cabled that 400 Colombian troops from Cartagena had landed at Colon; that there had been no revolution on the isthmus, but that the situation was most critical if the revolutionary leaders should act. On this same date the Associated Press in Washington received a bulletin stating that a revo lutionary, outbreak, had occurred When this was brought to the attention of the assistant secretary of state Mr. Loomis, he prepared the following cablegram to the consul general at Panama and the consul at Colon: "Uprising on isthmus reported. Keep department promptly and fully informed." The Colombian gunboat Bogota be gan to shell the city of Panama, with the result of killing one Chinaman. The consul general was directed to not tify her to stop killing. Meanwhile, or November 4, Commander Hubbard notified the department that he has landed a force to protect the lives and property of American citizens against the threats of the Colombian soldiery. Before any step whatever had been taken by the United States troops to restore order, the commander of the newly landed Colombian troops had in dulged in wanton and violent threats against American citizens, which created. serious apprehension. As Commander Hubbard reported in his letter of November 5, this officer and his troops practically began war against the United States, and only the forbearance and coolness of our officers prevented bloodshed. In his letter of November 8 Commander Hubbard sets forth the facts more in detail. This plain official account of the occurrences of November 4 shows that, instead of there having been too much provision by the American government for the maintenance of order and property on the isthmus, the order for the movement of the American war ships had been too long delayed; so long, in fact, that there were but forty-two marines and sailors available to land and protect the lives of American men and women. It was only the coolness and gallantry with which this little band of men wearing the American uniform faced ten times their number of armed foes, bent on carrying out the atrocious threat of the Colombian commander, that prevented a murderous catastrophe. At Panama when the revolution broke out, there was no American man-of-war and no American troops or sailors. At Colon, Commander Hubbard acted with entire impartiality toward both sides, preventing any movement, whether by the Colombians or the Panamans, which would tend to produce blood shed. On November 9 he prevented a body of the revolutionists from landing at Colon. Throughout he behaved in the most creditable manner. In The New York Evening Post, under date of Panama, December 8, there is an article from a special correspondent which sets forth in detail the unbearable oppression of the Colombian government in Panama. I call especial attention to the concluding portion of this interview which states the willingness of the Panama people to fight the Colombian troops and the refusal of Commander Hubbard to permit them to use the railroad and therefore to get into a position where the fight could take place. It thus clearly appears that the fact that there was no bloodshed on the isthmus was directly due—and only due—to the prompt and firm enforcement by the United States of its traditional policy. During the past forty years revolutions and attempts at revolution have succeeded one another with monotonous regularity on the isthmus, and again and again United States sailors and marines have been landed as they were landed in this instance and under similar, instructions to protect the transit. One of these revolutions resulted in three, years of warfare; and the aggregate of bloodshed and misery caused by them has been incalculable. The fact that in this last revolution not a life was lost, say that of the man killed by the shells of the Colombian gunboat, and no property destroyed, was due to the action which I have described. We, in effect, policed the isthmus in the interest of its inhabitants and of our own national needs, and for the good of the entire civilized world. Failure to act as the administration acted would have meant great waste of life, great suffering, great destruction of property, all of which was avoided by the firmness and prudence with which Commander Hubbard carried out his orders and prevented either party from attacking the other. Our action was for the peace both of Colombia and of Panama. It is earnestly to be hoped that there will be no unwise conduct on our part which may encourage Colombia to embark on a war which cannot result in her regaining control of the isthmus, but which may cause much bloodshed and suffering. Injurious Instructions. I hesitate to refer to the injurious insinuations which have been made of complexity by this government in the revolutionary movements in Panama SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY.

TROOPS ON MARCH Russia and Japan. Seeking Vantage Points in Korea. SHIPS READY FOR ACTION By the unanimous action of its people, without the firing of a shot—with a unanimity hardly before recorded in any similar case—the people of Panama declared themselves an independent republic. Their recognition by this government was based upon a state of facts in no way dependent for its justification upon our action in ordinary cases. I have not denied, nor do I wish to deny, either the validity or the propriety of the general rule that a new state should not be recognized as independent till it has shown its ability to maintain its in dependence. This rule is derived from the principle of non-intervention, and as a corollary, of that principle has generally been observed by the United States. But, like the principle from which it is deduced, the rule is subject to exceptions; and there are, in my opinion, clear and imperative reasons why a departure from it was justified and even required in the present instance. These reasons embrace, first, our treaty rights; second, our national interests and safety; and, third, the interests of collective civilization. Recognition Fully Justified. I confidently maintain that the recognition of the republic of Panama was an act justified by the interests of collective civilization. If ever a government could be said to have received a mandate from civilization to effect an object the accomplishment of which was demanded in the interest of mankind, the United States holds that position with regard to the interoceanic canal since our purpose to build the canal was definitely announced, there have come from all quarters assurances of approval and encouragement, in which even Colombia herself at one time participated; and to general assurances were added specific acts and declarations. In order that no obstacle might stand in our way, Great Britain renounced important rights under the Clayton-Bulwark treaty and ageed to its abrogation, receiving in return nothing but our honorable pledge to build the canal and protect it as an open highway. Other Nations endorse it. Other Nations Indorsee That our position as the mandatory of civilization has been by no means misconceived is shown by the promptitude with which the powers haye, one after another, followed our lead in recognizing Panama as an independent state. Our action in recognizing the new republic has been followed by like recognition on the part of France, Germany, Denmark, Russla, Sweden and Norway, Nicaragua, Peru, China Cuba, Great Britain, Italy, Costa Rica, Japan and Austria-Hungary. The 'people of the isthmus, and as I firmly believe, of the adjacent parts of Central and South America, will be greatly benefited by the building of the canal and the guarantee or peace and order along its line; and hand in hand with the benefit to them will go the benefit to us and to mankind. By our prompt ad decisive action, not only have our interests and those of the world at large been conserved, but we have forestalled complications which were likely to be fruitful in loss to ourselves and in bloodshed and suffering to the people of the isthmus. Meanwhile the only question now before us is that or the ratification of the treaty. For it is to be remembered that the failure to ratify the treaty will undo what has been done, will not restore Panama to Colombia, and will not alter our obligation to keep the transit open across the isthmus, and to prevent any outside power from menacing this transit. In conclusion, let me repeat that the question actually before this government is not that of the recognition of Panama as an independent republic. That is already a accomplished fact. The question, and the only question, is whether or not we shall build an isthmian canal. I transmit herewith copies of the latest notes from the minister of the republic of Panama to this government, and of certain notes which have passed between the special envoy of the republic of Colombia and this government.

SHIPS READY FOR ACTION Semi-Official Report that Rusalan Troops are Marching Upon Seoul, the Capital of Korea—Japan Makes a Counter Move. The Chee-Foo correspondent of the Paris edition of The New York Herald, cables as follows: Eight thousand Japanese troops are ready to land at Masanpho, and their landing probably will mean war. A regiment of cossacks is expected at Port Arthur. Reserves are being moved from Blagovyesiensk (the capital of Amur province in eastern Siberia), to Tsitsihar (in Manchuria). The position of the troops in Manchuria is being rearranged, but their location is kept a secret. Russian Troops for Korea. A semi-official dispatch to a St. Petersburg news agency from Vladivostock, and private information from Mukden, state that owing to disturbances between the Koreans and the Japanese in Korea, the Russian Second rifle regiment, at its full strength, has been dispatched to Korea in order to protect Russian interests there. Preparing for Action. A special from Toklo says: The Russian reply to Japan has not yet been received. It is reported from Vladivostock that the Russian squadron there is preparing for action. According to another-report a Russian cruiser has left Port Arthur with a small military force on board. Its destination is unknown, but it is probably Chemulpo, Korea. An extra edition of the Toklo official gazette has been issued containing army and navy orders prohibiting the publication of any reports of the movement of troops or war vessels from this time on. Otherwise, the Japanese authorities are not interfering with the press messages. United States Marines Arrive. A detachment of thirty-five marines from the United States steamer Vicksburg, now lying at Chemulpo, arrived at Seoul, the Korean capital, Tuesday, a guard for the American legation. Another body of seventy marines will arrive later. The United States transport Zaphiro is also at Chemulpo, where Russia, Japan and Great Britain have each one war ship. Quiet prevails, but the palace is heavily guarded by the Korean army. The movement of the Japanese troops and fleet are unknown in Seoul. The attitude of the Korean government is unchanged. Solitude is shown as to what may happen on the arrival of Japanese troops. American Admiral Cautioned. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, says he is advised that Admiral Evans has been instructed not to allow the movements of his warships to be such as to encourage the construction that the United States is supporting Japan. The correspondent says that the action of the United States government is sincerely appreciated, the conviction being in high quarters that Japan, if unsupported, will not declare war. BAD WRECK REPORTED. Rock Island Passenger Train In Disastrous Collision With Freight. Rock Island passenger train No. 3, the through train from Chicago to western points, collided with a freight train five miles west of Topeka, Kansas, about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. Reports from there say many persons were caught in the wreckage. The general superintendent's office reports the wreck as very serious. Engineers Reardon and Bonjamir were killed. More than a dozen passengers are fatally hurt. The passenger coaches except the last two Pullmans were piled up in a heap. The two trains not squarely in a head on collision. State Legislature Convene at Jackson and Organization Perfected. The Mississippi legislature assembled at Jackson Tuesday in regular biennial session. In the house E. N. Thomas of Washington, was elected speaker and L. P. Smith, of the same county, elder. The minor offices were also filled. E. H. Moore, of Bollervar, was chosen president of the senate pro tem. Governor Vardonman, and the other state officers will be sworn in January 14. GOOD. FOR. GEN. WOOD. Senate Committee Reports in Favor of Confirming His Nomination, Senator Hanna is Mum. The senate committee on military affairs Monday decided to report favorably the nomination of General Lenoard Wood to be major general. The vote stood 7 to 2, the affirmative senators being Proctor, Warren, Foraker, Quarles, Alger, Cockrell and Blackburn. Senator Proctor was not present, but wired his vote to be recorded. The negatives, Scott and Blackburn. This report does not mean early action by the senate, because, owing to the absence of Senators Hanna and Teller, General Wood's principal opponents in the senate, a vote on the nomination is not expected until late this month or the first of next month. Senator Hanna will remain in Ohio until, after his re-election to the senate, on January 15th. On this account an informal agreement has been reached not to bring it to a vote until after Senator Hanna has an opportunity to state his side of the case on the floor of the senate. All the evidence for and against General Wood taken at the hearing has been printed in pamphlet form. General Wood's friends urge that this evidence be made public before the case is closed in the senate. In an interview at Cleveland, O., Senator Hanna said he had no comment to make when shown the dispatch from Washington announcing the favorable report of the senate committee on military affairs in connection with the nomination of General Leonard Wood to be major general. Mr. Hanna evidently had fully anticipated the committee's report. It is understood that the senator will make a strong speech against this confirmation of General Wood when the matter is taken up by the senate. THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK Democrats of prominence from the city, state and nation assembled at New York Monday night at the dinner at Sherry's in honor of George B. McClellan, the newly installed mayor of New York city, among those present being Richard Olney, of Massachusetts; ex-Governor David B. Hill, of New York; Congressman David Dearmond, of Missouri; Charles A. Towne, ex-senator from Minnesota; ex-Governor F. E. Pattison of Pennsylvania; William A. Gaston, of Boston, and Charles F. Murphy, now leader of Tammany hall. Grover Cleveland, Judge Alton B. Parker, Senator Arthur P. Gorman, of Maryland, and Senator John P. Morgan, of Alabama, sent letters of regret. The speakers included Mayor McClellan, Richard Olney, David B. Hill, Charles A. Towne and Congressman DeArmond. Ex-Congressman W. Bowke Cockran, who acted as toastmaster, introduced as the first speaker Mayor McClellan, in an address in which, after referring briefly to questions of national policy, he took up political conditions in New York city, declaring that democratic government had been abolished in New York so far as law could abolish it, but that the democratic population of New York city had made New York democratic not through the laws, but in spite of the laws. PORTO RICANS NOT ALIENS. Important Opinion Handed Down by Chief Justice Fuller In an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller, the supreme court of the United States, Monday, decided that citizens of Porto Rico are not allens of the United States and that they are entitled to enter this country without obstruction. The opinion was delivered in the case of the Porto Rican woman, Gonzales, who, in 1802, was refused admission to the port of New York on the ground that she was likely to become a public charge. The decision took the ground that the Porto Rican女尊 allegiance to the United States and to no other government. STOCKHOLDERS DISAPPOINTED.

PANAMA QUESTION IS UP Special Message, In Compliance, with Hoar Resolution, Is Read In Sen- A Washington special says: Congress, re-assembled Monday, after the holiday recess. The senate's, session was devoted entirely to the Panama situation. After President Roosevelt's message on this subject was read, discussion continued throughout the day, speeches being made both in defense and against the policy which had been pursued. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the new chapplain for the senate, created a sensation in a black silk gown while he delivered the morning prayer. The unusual attire caused such a commotion among the visitors in the galleries that Sergeant-at-Arms Ransdell, after the prayer, made the distinguished minister take it off. There had been considerable interest manifested in Dr. Hale's election as chaplain, and most of the visitors to the senate chamber were there for the sole purpose of seeing him. The reading of the president's message was followed much more closely by senators than is usual. Simultaneously with the beginning of the work of the reading's clerk, printed copies of the message are placed upon the desks of members, and the usual proceeding is for the formal reading to proceed when senators attend to their correspondence or go to committee rooms, the printed copies being laid aside to be read later. In this instance, however, there was practically a full attendance, the words of the clerks, who took turns at reading the message, being closely followed. In the comment upon the message, which was heard afterward, the republican generally praised it as a complete answer to the questions that have been asked by Senator Hoar and some of the democrats, declaring the message a great document. The democratic senators, as a rule, declined to give any expression, saying they preferred to study it closely. The outside opinion is that the president has made out a good case so far as concerns the insinuations that the officials of the state department, and, perhaps, the war and navy departments, were in possession of inside information concerning what was to be expected upon the isthmus information smacking of complicity. That the United States and the rest of the world, for that matter, had seen put on notice, openly and above board, as to what might be expected if the treaty failed at Bogota, is clearly shown. There are, however, some features of the message which may be discussed at length when the treaty gets before the senate in executive session, and perhaps in open session. The president's contention that provision of the Spooner act which provides for the consideration of the Nicaraguan route is no longer operative does not meet with anything like unanimous approval, and some of the best lawyers on the republican side are understood to disagree with the president's view from a purely legal standpoint, though they will, of course, support the treaty. When the house was called to order Mr. Hay (dem, Va.), offered a privileged resolution reciting charges made against members of congress in the Bristow report and calling for an investigation. Mr. Gardner (N. J.) made the point of order that the resolution was not privileged, but was overruled by the chairman. Mr. Payne wanted to move to refer the resolution to the committee on postoffice and post roads, but as it was out of order, expressed the hope that the previous question would be vote ddown. On a roll-call the vote was 78 to 73, no quorum, and at 1:35 the house ad- journed. GAYNOR PAYS BONDSMEN. Attached "Fal" of Center Meteor Good the Sum of $40,000. Colonel John F. Gaynor, who had to Quebec to escape trial in connection with the Havannah harbor, sent them guarded and left his bondmaster in the harbor for $40,000 is reported to have made good the loss to William A. Kirk. The latter visited Gaynor at Quebec recently and on returning to Syracuse N. T. called a conference of the Gaynor family. Members of the latter then journeyed to Quebec to attend an reimbursement conference. Col. Pledger Dead. As we were going to press news reached us concerning the death of Col. W. A. Pledger which occurred in Atlanta early yesterday morning. The funeral services take place tomorrow morning in Atlanta. Remains buried in Athens in the afternoon. Emancipation Address. The following is an extract from the able Emancipation Day address delivered in this city by Rev. R. H. Singleton: This should be the day of days for the American Negro, and should be held sacred. The sentiment expressed in that immortal document just read, should be told in song and story so long as there shall be the foot of black boy or girl to tread the American soil. The Negro is an American by the right of primitive settlement. The Indians were the first settlers. The Spaniard second and the Negro third. Forty-two years before the Cavaliers landed at Jamestown, and fifty-five years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock the Negro under Pedro Aviles was at work on the city of St. Augustine, Fla., the oldest city in the United States. "He is American by the right of inheritance bought by blood. From the blood of Crispus Attucks who fell the first martyr to American Independence, through all of the wars of the country to the recent charge up the heights of San Juan, the Negro's blood has mingled with that of the white man's to purchase this noble heritage. "And, however much he might be denied, the right is unquestionably his. How he came here is not the question to-day, but the fact remains that he is here. The swarthy sons of Castile and Leon have relinquished their dominion and with-drawn their forces. The noble Red Man has gone to his reservation. The Negro alone of the primitive settlers of this country is left to take part in the onward march of Anglo-Saxon progress. I will not dwell upon the duplicity and crime perpetrated upon the Negro in bringing him here, nor upon the horrors of that dark night of 300 years. Let it pass "The immortal Lincoln by a few strokes of his pen ended that long night. "The Jew coming from Egyptian bondage was given gold, silver, precious stones, and cattle; the Russian serf was given each 3 acres of land and agricultural implements in his hour of freedom; the American Negro was given nothing, but his heritage of dense ignorance and told to go, be a man. He went. He started with confidence in the white man's method of saving money in banks. The failure in the Freedman's bank in 1871 for $57,000,000 of the Negro's savings proved the death blow to his financial hopes, and as a result the Negro became a spandrift and prodigal. "In spite of this he pays taxes on $500,000,000 worth of property. He has stores, banks, building and loan associations, newspapers, church and school properties, homes and farms and their accessories, all within the short period of forty year. "In Education his progress has been even more marked. Beginning in densest ignorance, his illiteracy has been decreased 47 per cent and 3,000,000 Negro children daily march to the 'Prerian Springa'. In addition to the work of general education he has entered all of the learned professions, and in Law, Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry as well as Theology he is making his way. "In the field of moral and manners must be fought his greatest battles; it will be a hard fight but he will make it. The Emancipation proclamation brought the Negro physical freedom, but his soul, his higher self could not be so easily emancipated from the evils of a debauching slavery of centuries. Generations must pass, but it will be accomplished in time. Get with all of his short comings and the prejudice against him, the American Negro is the most fortunate of any of the peasant classes of the earth to-day. He has the privilege of becoming a potent factor in the greatest civilization that the world has ever seen. But with this privilege come dates: Growth of living organism proceeds from within. Dead things grow by accretion. The race must have within itself the power to survive or make sympathy of friends, legislative enactments, nor any other external circumstance will entitle it to resistance or proclaim its life. The Negro Press and Palpit must continue the cruse against the immoral treason of the times. The Black people unanimity bans, not wholesome food, impute air, infantile mortality, chronic idleness and crime, cannot, must not cease. "The Negro that is ashamed of the color of his skin, texture of his hair, for any other racial characteristic, insults his Creator, and is not fit to be a member of the great Hamitio race. "The greatest work of the future Negro will be alang moral and mental lines. No people has ever arisen to, influence and power without an intellectual and moral class permeating the whole mass: And yet the foundation of the race's prosperity must rest, as it has rested in all permanent races, in the ownership and tillage of the soil. "The Negro must work and think for only by thought can he hope to become a part of the "Electric Age." High thinking will make the eyes clear and flashing, the lips compressed, the steps elastic and the head erect; while the thoughts will shuffle along with bleared eyes, open lips, dogged appearance, a menace to society, a disgrace to the race. "The Negro must be a business man, Business is the result of thought and the test of ability. The Negro while late in entering this field, must prove himself worthy to occupy it. His business must be as other business, not conducted for sentiment, but as business. The loafer should no more be allowed to hang around the Negro business than elsewhere. "The leaders among the Negroes should set examples in patronizing race enterprise. The Negro must have confidence in himself. The American Negro is the only people on the earth to-day that thinks more of other people, than he does of his own race; the only king this side of heaven that will not permit members of his own race, of whatever position or ability, to be served in the same place with the meanest of another race. Of course this is the result of 300 years of bondage, but until we can wipe out discriminations among ourselves, we should at least be charitable in our condemnation of the discrimination practiced upon us by others. "The moral power in man is the greatest with which he is endowed, and until he can rise to that height of moral grandeur that is necessary to true manhood, the Negro must ever remain behind in the march of progress. "While the Negro is continually being held up as the worst criminal on American soil, I come to combat that fallacious doctrine. He is a human being. No better, no worse. His condition during slavery was not conducive to the highest morality. "But he is coming. He is becoming classified as other civilized people. There is among the Negro, an upper class, whose attainments, culture, refinement and morality can pass muster any where; then there is the great middle class, who, while not so far advanced in the higher walks of life is making steady progress toward the desired end. The lower or criminal class, the riff raff of Negro Society, is the class that is usually pointed out to tourists as the typical Negro. "They hang around depots, wharves, street corners, bar-rooms and other public places with no desires, no responsibilities. The olas that populates the jails, chain-gangs and penitantiaries and ornament tree limbs and telegraph poles. They are heralded to the world as the "New Negro." While the honest industrious Negro is not sought after, seldom encouraged in his struggles and his home and society life and aspirations absolutely unknown. Such judgement in the nature of things must be false and while it is taken for granted by our enemies and the pessimists among us, yet a little reflection will reveal the fallacy. Were the Negro as bad as he is painted, no stringent laws would be enacted against his migration from state to state, rather he would be thrust out. No, the loyalty and patience of the Negro is too well known for him to be driven out. "Evidence of progress is seen on every hand. Better prepared ministers and teachers are being calldd for showing the tendency of the times. The duty of the more fortunate classes is not to stand off and exclaim "O how much worse the race is becoming!" but let each class add to the moral force of the race by adding to the class worthy members from the class immediately beneath it, thereby increasing the upper and decreasing the lower classes. The civil and political relations of the Negro to the body politic of America. is the most complex and trying with which he has to do. "If the Negro hopes to be a part of this American civilization, he must not be contented to be a cipher, but must strive to be a significant factor in the body politic. This brings us to consider his duty to his country. "Since this is the Negro's country by toil, sacrifice and bloodshed, whatever tende to enhance her interest ought to the dear to him. I am not of those who say that the Negro should not fight his country's battles. Every man and privilege which he now claims was won under God, upon the battlefields of his SHOES! SHOES!

SCOTT'S —ON THE SQUARE— 120 STATE STREET, WEST NEAR BARNARD. country; Our fathers fought for the country, and we must be willing to fight. Who would be free himself must strike the blow. His civil and political rights must be guarded at all points. What was true in other parts of our discussion is equally true here. No amount of out side sympathy or influence can compensate for the lack of life within the race itself. No legislation, no enactments, not even the Christian efforts of President Roosevelt, the noblest occupant of the White House since the immortal Lincoln, can give the Negro a standing if he does not deserve to stand. Let the Negro everywhere own property. Let him build homes for himself and love ones, not shacks; let him beautify those homes, so that his home cannot be told at a glance by its shabby appearance. Let him build hospitals and schools, old folks and orphan homes and support them. Let some of the beautiful massive buildings of the cities, and the well equipped farms of the country be his. Let him pay his taxes that he might have a part in parks, squares, roads, pavements, sidewalks, the fire and water department and in every department of his community and city life. Let him be public spirited and offer his support to every public enterprise. Let him love his home, and have respect for that of his neighbor white and colored. Let him honor and respect his own women and aged, as well as the women of other races. In whatever community he likes, let him work for the betterment of that community. In short if he makes of himself a worthy member of society, he will have no lasting reason to complain of the treatment of society. "Barriers that now seem so formidable will give away and each man will go on his God-given way to prosperity and peace. "I have shown that the Negro can not hope to enter into all the walks of American civilization and life without a vigorous protest, and a peremptory challenge from the Inner Guard; but it has also been shown that the sable skinned sons of Ham, from Nimrod to the present, have been able to overcome all obstacles by patient industry, and so my friends, as God has led us in the past, we can afford to trust Him for the future.

On Wednesday morning last Miss Jennie C. Houstoun, died at the family residence on East Henry street. Miss Houstoun has been in bad health for some time, but kept at her post of duty up to the closing of school for the holidays, when it was noted that the severity of her illness had increased. Her remains were buried from the First Congregational Church on Thursday afternoon. The service was attended by a large concourse of friends of the family. Rev. C. C. Collins officited and the service was a pathetic one. Miss Houstoun was a graduate of the public schools of this city and of the Beach Institute. She also attended Talladega College.

The First African Baptist church of Thunderbolt, Ga., met in regular conference on Sunday December 20, and by a unanimous vote, called Rev. R. H. Thomas as pastor for one year. He being away from home at the time a committee of three was appointed to wait upon him and inform him of the same. On his return the following week, the committee consisting of Deas, F. McIntosh, J. Johnson and J. Hopkins informed him of the action of the church. After discussing the matter with the said deacons he decided to accept the call. During the month of February he will be installed. He is also in charge of four other churches, but will resign one of his county churches to serve this one. He is putting forth strentuous efforts to celebrate the fourth anniversary church which commenced State Committee Met. The Republican party of Georgia will meet in Convention in Atlanta March 23, for the purpose of electing four delegates to the national convention of the party, to be held in Chicago on June 21. This was decided upon Thursday of last week by the state central committee which met, in Atlanta. The attendance was quite large, every member of the committee being present or represented by proxy. Col. W. L. Scruggs, ex-Governor Rufus B. Bullock and other Republicans of prominence occupied seats on the floor. The feature of the meeting was the fact that while all of the delegates were in the best of spirits, and overflowing with patriotism, not a single speech was made or the fraction of a dispute upon any question that came up for consideration. Owing to the absence of Chairman W. A. Pledger, who was detained at home on account of sickness, Secretary J. H. Deveaux of Savannah called the committee to order, stating incidentally as a reason for doing so the absence of the chairman. Mr. H. L. Johnson of Atlanta the law partner of Hon. W. A. Pledger, nominated for the position of chairman, United States Marshal Walter H. Johnson. The nomination met with the approval of the members of the convention, and Mr. Johnson was handed the gavel by the secretary. Hon. H. A. Rnoker of Fulton made a motion which was adopted, that the chairman appoint a committee on resolutions to consist of one from each congressional district and one from the state at large to which committee shall be referred without reading all resolutions introduced for consideration. In pursuance of this resolution Chairman Johnson appointed the following committee: H. A. Rucker, W. R. Leaken, Glenn O. Smith, J. T. Noble, Z. T. Allen, E. F. Blodgett, R. A. Holland, J. T. Holm, W. H. Harris, H. P. Farrow, P. H. Craig, and E. R. Belcher. When the committee returned to the hall its secretary Mr. William R. Leaken of Savannah read the report which was favorable to the adoption of the following resolutions in the order named: "Whereas it hath pleased Almighty Go1; in His wise Providence to take from us Hon. A. E. Buck, Col. R. D. Locke, Maj. W. H. Smyth, Hon. P. O. Holt, Capt. L. M. Pleasants, Hon. J. J. Hamilton, and Hon. Noah Johnson fellow Republicans, and honored citizens therefore be it Resolved, That this committee feels that the state of Georgia and the Republican party have sustained a great loss and extends its sympathies to the families of each of the deceased." "Resolved further. That a copy of the above resolutions be given to the families of each of the deceased." Resolved That we, the Republican state central committee of Georgia, heartily indorse the vigorous, wise and patriotic administration of President Roosevelt and carnethy urge his nomination by the Republican national convention to assemble in the city of Chicago June 25, 1904 for the presidency. We carnethy approve his Cuban, Philippine and isthmian Panama canal policies and especially the last, whereby this government is to have a greater control of the canal. And in view of the great advantages to be derived from the establishment of this inter-oceanic waterway, particularly to the South, we deem it but a part of statesmanship that the representatives from this section of the country should support the proposed treaty. We deprecate any interference with the doctrine of a protective tariff and insist that such modifications as time and experience may show necessary in the Dingley tariff bill shall be made by the friends of protection and not by free traders. Resolved, that a state convention of the Republicans of Georgia are hereby called to assemble in the city of Atlanta 12 o'clock, March 23rd 1904, for the purpose of electing four (4) delegates to represent the state at large in the national convention to assemble in the city of Chicago June 21st, for transacting and other business as may come before it, and that due notice be given thereof. Resolved further that the call to be issued shall conform to the calls of 1900 both state and national. Whereas, our beloved chairman the Hon. W. A. Pledger, has been seriously ill at home and unable to be with us thereby filling our hearts with sorrow. Therefore be it resolved that we hereby express our deep regret to him and our sympathy to his family while we pray for his recovery. Be it resolved by the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia that the Remblican county committee of the state are hereby instructed and urged to see that every Republican possible in Georgia be qualified to vote for all Republican candidate. The mention of the name of Roosevelt by Mr. Loken in reading the report of the committee was received with the most earnest applause by this delegates - the committee ad AMUSEMENT COLUMN Coming Events in The Social World.

It was one of the best and most largely attended meeting of the past few years. A p. 14 m. the pastor preached a very practical and helpful sermon to a large audience from Ex. 14: 15 Subject—"Go forward." The sermon was well received as shown by expressions from the audience. On Wednesday of last week a good and bountiful dinner was given at the church by the Woman's Mission Band, to a large number of poor children and old folks. All were given plenty eat and something to carry back with them, and many others to others who were not able to come to the church. To-morrow at 3: 30 p. m. the Lord's Supper will be administered, and this being the first communion in the New Year, all the members are earnestly requested to be present.
