Asked to Meet at Jefferson City November 1. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 1.—President B. F. Allen of Lincoln Institute has issued a call to the negro farmers of Missouri and adjoining states to meet at Lincoln Institute on Wednesday, November 1, 1902, for the purpose of encouraging farming among the negroes of the west, and putting them in touch with the agricultural department recently established at Lincoln Institute. The following subjects were discussed: How many negro farmers are there in the state? How many own their farms? How much land do they cultivate each year, and what kind of homes have they? What is the outlook for the colored farmers in Missouri? What can we do to keep our boys and girls on the farm? Do we subscribe for the daily and weekly papers and the best agricultural journals? How many days in the week do we work? How do we spend our time when our crops are laid by? How can the agricultural department of Lincoln institute and the colored farmers of Missouri help each other? ANOTHER HOLD-UP OF TEACHERS "In the resolutions passed at the close of the colored teachers' institute in this city they plead for the repeal of that provision of the institute law which requires teachers holding long term or life certificates to pay an institute fee. As a matter of fact there is no such provision in the present law. The law requires all applicants for examination to pay a fee of $5 to cover the expense of the examination and the institute, but contains not one syllable of authority for collecting any fee whatever from teachers who merely attend the institute, but do not take the examination. Acting on the advice of State Superintendent Carrington many county boards in the state have required teachers to pay a fee for attending the institute. Every teacher who was required to pay such a fee was deliberately held up and robbed by the county boards, which, by virtue of Carrington's power of appointment, are democratic in nearly all counties of the state." — Professional World. This conference will convene in this city September 24th. The pastor and members of Quinn chapel are hard at work getting everything in order. This conference will bring about 150 Negro preachers, among whom will be found some of the best brain of the race, such men as Bishop C. T. Shaffer of Philadelphia. Dr. G. W. Taylor of Atlanta, Ga., Dr. H. B. Parks of New York, Dr. Chappell of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. D. P. Roberts of St. Louis; and many others. During the week of conference there will be anywhere from 1500 to 2000 strangers in the city. Arrangements are being made to bring excursions from Kansas City and Moberly. These people must be carved for in befitting style. The pastor is gratified to some of the leading citizens of our race who have thrown open their doors to the conference and the many visitors who will be here. Yet there is much to be done. Every person in Sedalia should contribute liberally for this cause. You should not wait for the pastor to call on you, but offer your services or donate something as your part of the work. Feeling that you will come to our rescue we thank you in advance, Yours for the Master. W, C, WILLIAMS, Pastor, 223 West Pettis st.

PALMYRA CORRESPONDENCE. W. H. Carter, Esq., Sedalia, Mo. DEAR SIR:The other day I was in your city, but did not get to see you. You certainly need credit for the able manner in which you have conducted the SEDALIA TIMES for the colored people of Sedalia The colored citizens could make the TIMES a much better paper if they would give it the support that a first-class paper needs. I was much surprised after an absence of more than two years to find Sedalia still in the rut so far as Negro enterprise is concerned. There is something wrong with you colored Sedalians. You colored voters have been putting white men in office for the past twenty years, and the only compensation that you have received for your trouble is a Negro policeman, deputy constable and a janitor at the city hall. There must be a cause why the republicans have not recognized the worth of the colored voters of Sedalia. The dominant party in Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Louis, Springfield, Hannibal and Joplin divide the leaves with the colored brother. Why don't Sedalia do the same? I believe you have too many politicians in your city, too many cliques. In other words you are too divided to accomplish anything. I believe, as you have said, if the negro voters would get together and unite their forces could accomplish something. You have too many leaders. You have as many leaders as you have voters, Quit your bickerings and enter the fight with the understanding] that you demand a position or two in the court house. Unite upon two or three good men, men capable of discharging what may be assigned them and stick to them. The trouble with the Negro faction there each faction wants his man put in office. If not there is trouble ```markdown ``` or he will kick out of the harness. Each city election you whoop 'em up for the Grand Old Party, and what do you get? Beer, whisky, cigars, have privilege to run dancing halls and crap joints. The white men don't seek such. Why should the Negro accept less? Take North Sedalia to the extreme limit of Henry street and you will find enough Negroes to elect an alderman. Why don't you do it? You could run a Negro for school director, Why not? Why not open a first-class resturant by a member of your race? Now, sir, excuse me for taking so much of your valuable time. Keep hitting our people, and perhaps they will see their mistake after you have been called to the place where all good editors go. Very Truly, W. H. DIXON. HON. HENRY LAMM. The TIMES is proud of the fact that the great republican party of Missouri in convention assembled saw fit to nominate Hon. Henry Lamm of Sedalia as one of candidates for supreme judge. The party might have searched the state over and not found a man better fitted in every particular and essential to fill this exalted position. For many years past Mr. Lamm has been recognized as one of the strongest men in the republican party, and he could ere this have had the highest hodors conferred on him, but he was never an office-seeker, preferring to be a plain private on the finaing line. As a lawyer, gentleman and citizen Mr. Lamm would grace with purity and dignity and ability the supreme bench of Miss. souri or any other state in the Union-Men of all classes and creeds and colors have absolute faith In his integrity and learning as a lawyer. This being the case there is bright promise that he will win a signal and deserved victory in the great battle next November. ASBURY GOODKNIGHT, Democratic Candidate for Circuit Clerk. The gentleman's name that appears herein is the democratic candidate for circuit clerk. He is a Pettis county boy, born raised and educated here. He has spent the greater part of his life on the farm, but has done a good amount of business in the city, and has become will known in this circle. Mr. Goodnight is a common place man and spent the greater part of his life among the colored people. He is qualified to fill this office, and solitizes your support for the same, promising to each and every man who votes for him that he fill the office and give satisfaction to all, regardless of party affiliation, color or wealth: WHY DOES MOCLURE Expect Negro Votes. The question has been asked by a num- ber of colored voters why Emmet McClure expects any Negro votes this year for re-election as county collector. Many of them say he has never shown them any favors in return for what they did for him twew years ago. Some of them who worked and voted for him have went to him during the past winter when a friend was needed and asked him to help them, and absolutely refused. Some have asked for donations for their churches, and he refused. It is said by some who worked for him at the polls have received no pay for their day's work. Is this the kind of a man the Negroes of Pettis county are going to put back into office next November, a man who never shows a friendly hand to those who help him to success; a man who would not take a negro paper because it was not a democratic sheet, or who has no use for you only when he can secure your vote at some small price or by the influence of drinks or cigars? We answer this question by saying, no, we will not! Let us show him that we must have friends who know us the next day after election or we will not vote for him again. everybody Cascarese, Carly Catartic, the most worrisful medical discovery of the age, plane art and refreshing to the taste, act gent, and positively to kidneys, liver and bowels, cleansing the entire system, dispel colds, curbs bactitis, and helps to relieve biliary pain.

The 3-room residence at III E Jefferson st, occupied by Mrs. Fannie Johnson colored, burned Friday moruing at 10 o'clock, The occupants do not know how the fire started, though it is claimed by some that it was a gasoline stove explosion. Mrs Johnson wrs ironing at the time, and says she did not know the house was on fire until the roof commenced to fall in. A few articles of furniture were saved but the balance ruined. No insurance was carried an the furniture, and Mrs. Johnson is grief-stricken at her loss. She sustained slight burns on her hands. The building was owned by Mrs. Gooding, who carried no insurance.

The janitorship of our court houselies in the hands of the county judges, and it is our duty to see to it that the judges that it elected this fall will be men who will give a Negro a chance to become their janitor, and if they don't then we must remember him next time PRESIDENT Roosevelt and company will pass through our city in their special train, on September 29th and the Sedalians will then have a chance to see and hear the real president of the United States and not a would-be are a wanted to-be. The members of the Pettis county-Negro Republican League, and other colored republican voters, are called to met in a mass meeting at the Odd Fellow's hall on next Wednesday night, to prepare for the republican State League meeting which mets in our city on the 23rd., and to organize our forces for the fall's campaign. W. H CARLFR, Pres. T. A. CARTER, Sec. SOME men are always getting on a political ticket and expecting other good men on their ticket to carry them into fat office. We should think that each candidate on any ticket should feel it his duty to do his part in all matters tending to help the success of his ticket. and when he have did this the party workers can do their duty toward the success of the whole ticket. It is true that some men are poorer than others, but there are things that they can do that do not cost a great deal, and the question is, why some of don't do what they can, and help others to help him into a fat office. Of course we have a mighty good republican ticket this year, but to elect it, we all be up and about our duty, and if any candidate fails to hold up his own and should met defeat, he must not blame the Negro voters nor the party, but lay the blame on himself for not doing his part in the fight for votes. A committee is now being formed to hold a big celebration in this city on September 22nd. Emancipation day. This day has heretofore been overlooked by our people and not hardly notice, but this year they are determine to make some kind of a celebration in honor of that great Emancipator Abraham Lincoln. The committee will attempt to have a big affair during the afternoon and night, and at about noon will have a big street parade headed by the famous Queen City Cornet Band and followed by school children in decorated wagons, the different colored business fffrms, express, baggage wagons and carriages of the different speakers of the day, the parade will then move on to the park and the afternoon will be spent in rendering of a special Emancipation program rendered by our home talent, the evening program will consist of a band concert and speaches by the different county candidates and several noted orators from abroad, afterwards the young people will enjoy themselves in the large dancing hall. This paper will give the complete program in its next weeks issue: BUY THE NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE --- A Mrs Anily Vaugins left Tuesday morning for a visit with her daughter and son in St Paul Minn Mr. tineon of this city received a telegram last Tuesday stating that his his son John was very ill.

"The average life of the nickel cigar is five years," said a prominent tobacco man to a writer for the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "and it is curious to note the differences which have enabled cigar men to arrive at this general average of the five-cent cigar's life. Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection I have been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain brands of cigars changing in quality. I heard a man say the other day that he had been smoking a certain brand of cigars for two years or longer, but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. 'It is nothing like the same cigar,' he said; 'the taste has changed, and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves.' Now he was altogether wrong about that. I know the cigar, know how it is made and all about it, and I know that no sort of change has been made in the process of manufacture. The trouble is that man's taste changes. He may get up feeling badly, his stomach may be in bad shape, and of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in better condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. Instances of this sort are very common. Mind you I do not mean to say that some of the brands do not change. There are tricks in the cigar business, just as there are tricks in other trades. But in nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the smoker. But recurring to the age of cigars, the average to which I have referred has been settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the country. It is reached by taking the two extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and figuring back to the middle. Some five cent cigars close with the first lot made. They are failures, having nothing in them to recommend them to the public. The material out of which they are made would not make decent 'three-fors,' the kind that are sold to the negroes on the river. The higher grades of five cent cigars are made as carefully, and with as much skill as the cigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mind saying that many of them are really far superior in material, flavor and method of manufacture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the average life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure." TWO MOONS OF SALT. Some Interesting Statements Concerning Amount of Salt in the Sea. Roughly speaking, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, if you take the salt out of the sea water, you deprive it of a thirtieth of its weight. On that basis one-thirtieth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world is salt, and, as salt and water bulk about the same, we may estimate, also, that, by bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass of the ocean is pure salt. What does this bring us to? Taking the 130,000,000 odd square miles of the five oceans to average 11 miles deep, we have in them alone 00,000,000 cubic miles of salt water. A thirtieth of this should give us the bulk of the salt contained in the great waters of the globe. Rounding the figures, we get something like 7,000,000 cubic miles of salt. If it were taken out and spread ever the surface of the six continents they would be covered with its snowy powder to a depth almost equal to the height of Bunker Hill monument, in Boston. To put it another way, if all the earth were salt water there would be enough salt in it to make two globes of solid salt but very little smaller than our moon. Beautiful Outwardly, But So Contanaker ous That It Lived Alone. There died at the aquarium recently an angel fish that for years had had a tank all to itself. It differed from the other angel fish exhibited there also in the respect that it lived unusually long in captivity, says the New York Sun. One reason why the angels are hard to keep is their scrappiness among themselves. The fight and quarrel and wound one another with the sharp spines with which their gill covers are armed. This long-lived angel fish killed two or three tank mates, or so wounded them that they died of their injuries, and it continued to attack other angel fish put into the tank with it, until finally, and because of its great beauty, it was permitted to occupy a tank by itself. It was a vigorous, hardy fish, and the brightest-colored fish the aquarium has ever had; and all angel fish are beautiful. Some angel fish have yellow tails. This one had a blue tail with a yellow edge and the characteristic angel fish blue of its body was of the deepest and at the same time the most livid and brilliant blue. At times it seemed almost luminous; it was a wonderful and most beautiful blue. Fighter as it was among its kind, it was one of the tamest fish in the aquarium. It took food from the hand when it had been there two weeks, and was ready to take food in that manner always thereafter. On the last day that it was fed something so frightened the angel fish that it jumped out of the water and struck the wire screen over its tank with such violence as to inflict a serious cut in its head. It had been in perfect health and condition up to that time, but, susceptible as all fishes are to fright and shock, this was too much for it, and in the following two days it went through a familiar course. Sometimes it would rush about, and in this blind scurrying do itself some other injury, and sometimes it would go round and round in a small circle, for minutes or an hour at a time, only to fly off into tantrums again, and finally, to die of exhaustion.

Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.
