Sedalia Times

THE SEDAL The Atlanta Congress and Observations. From J. WILL JAGKSON, DD Since my return from the Atlanta Congress I have been importioned by several of my friends to give a little write-up of my trip and of the proceedings of that body. Through the obliging kindness of the editor of "THE SEDALIA TIMES" I am now given the opportunity to do so. The Trip To Atlanta. Left St Louis, August 2nd, at 9:10 p.m. with Louisville Ky., as my first objective point. I took the "Southern Railway route," I had never taken this route before, and my travel being confined to the darkness of the night, I was permitted to see but little of the country traversed. We reached Louisville Sunday morning, at 7:25 o'clock. I had never visited the city before, and was, therefore, a stranger in a strange land. A comfortable place for my entertainment during the day and night, was found with but little difficulty, I breakfasted and, after a little rest, started out to hunt up the churches. In company with a young man, who kindly volunteered to act as my guide, we found the residence of Hon. N. R. Harper, attorney and Councelorate of Law. whom I had known in Ohio, my native State, 33 years ago. At that time he was my music teacher. The meeting was a most agreeable one, and, excusing my young friend from further favors, I spent the day with my old friend and his family, upon his earliest solicitation. Mr Harper is the most noted Negro lawyer in the state of Kentucky, and the first of his race to be admitted to the bar in that state, about 35 years ago. We spent the day together in attending church and seeing the sights of the city. We took the hand of parting late in the evening of that day, after having spent one of the most agreeable Nabbaths of my life. At 7:25 Monday morning we took the train for Atlanta, Ga., the seat of the great Negro congress. It was on the Queen and Crescent route, one of fastest lines in the country. Here, in my journey began my experience with the "Jim Crow Car" arrangement. I saw nothing worthy of commendation. Of the legislation which establishes the separate car system which now prevails throughout the South, I would have nothing objectionable to say, if it be true, as I have been informed, that the two races could not agreeably travel together. Common carriers on the highways of travel are certainly the common property of all and should be enjoyed by all alike. And yet it is true that conditions may exist which prevent their peaceful possession by all who are entitled to them. The fault of the system lies, not so much with the legislation as with the provisions which the railroads adopt to carry out the legislation. If the accommodation for both races was both the same there would be no room complaint, but such it not the ease. There is nothing in common between the "Jim Crow car" and the car allotted to the white passengers, except that they belong that they belong to the same train and all of them run on wheels. The former is often the commonest kind of a hull, not clean beyond the discovery of the need of better treatment, while the latter is modern in all of its appointments and a model of cleanliness and comfort. The "Jtm Crow car" is a partitioned car in most oases one part being for both sexes of the race while the other is for smokers. But it is quite frequent that no such accommodations are found, for often the part assigned to the Negroes is less than half of car. The car we took here was partitioned into halves and for most of the distance from Louisville to Lawrenceburg, Ky., was uncomfortably crowded in both compartments by men, women and children At Lawrenceburg we changed cars for Burgin, Ky. It is indeed hard to conceive of accommodations fitted up for human beings, less comfortable or more disagreeable than those which awaited us SEDALIA MISSOURI SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13 at this place. Our car was a detachment or partition of the regular baggage car. It contained 7 seats, 3 on one side and 4 on the other, literally glossed with dirt. The floor was unclean and the windows could scarcely be seen through. A rusty old stove and dirty lamps were piled up in one corner. It was about one-fourth the whole car in size, and was crowded with passengers. A door opened out of it into the baggage apartment and this was open all the time, because the door was obstructed by boards or lumber which extended out of the baggage apartment into ours. The offensive odor from chicken coops in the baggage apartmeet was repulsive and sickening to endure. This is a true picture of the "Jim Crow car. I was told that similar recommendations for the Negroes under the separate car system is frequently found throughout the south. No being, possessed of human instincts could be subjected to such environments without experiencing the most intense feeling of disgust and humiliation. Were I not human I would be submissively silent and uncomplaining. Humanity instinctively revolts at and recoils from such surroundings. If the Negro race of this country is to be elevated—fitted for usefulness, pure homes and intelligent citizenship the "Jim Crow car" as now managed in the south can never serve as a contributing factor to these ends. I find no fault as I have already said with the legislation that separates the races. Conditions no doubt make the separation a necessity. But I do complain against the provisions which the railroad companies too frequently adopt to carry out the requirements of the law. There may be honorable exceptions to what came under my observations. If so these exceptions should be the general rule not the reverse. I must here pay an honest tribute of praise to the conductors whom I met on my trip. A more polite and obliging and set of men I never met in any capacity of life. One becomes oblivious to much of his upleasant surroundings under such kindly treatment. All through the long journey, in busy streets or crowded stations not an insulting remark was heard or an affront of any kind offered. The Congress The Negro Young People's Christian and Educational congress which convened in Atlanta on the 6th and adjournthe uight of the 11th fs a thing of the past. It marks an epoch in the history of the race in this country—an epoch of fraternity and fellowship in christian and educational work. It was the outgrowth of a conviction that has gradually possessed the leaders of race that there is need of a closer union and co-operation of all the forces that are in operation for the uplift of the people. It makes true progress. It takes a people some time to reach this eminence of philosophical reflection. The first impulses of freedom and experimental education are those of selfishness and bigotry. True education reinforced by the lessons of experience, imparts a view of life that comprehends the efficacy and utility of all agencies in reformrition and preparation. It abolishes bigotry and intolerance. It has taken the race some time to reach this consideration, but, happily it is surely and firmly grasping it, ae was shown by the great gathering at Atlanta. Over 6coo delegates were present, coming from 20 different states in the Union. Forty different religious demominations and christian agencies were represented. It was without doubt the greatest gathering of its kind in the history of the race. Never before were there gathered such an array of varied talent of the Negro people. The brilliant orator, the poet, the elocutcnist the musician, the vocal soloist, lawyer, doctor, mechanic and the rest of them were all there. The rendition of music and song, as was given in the two great concerts of the congress was the finest the race ever produced. What the Congress Was Not The congress was not in any sense a liberalative body. There were no debates, no motions made, no obtaining the floor no parliamentary usage to settle in any of its public assemblages. It was not in any sense a political body. Partisan politics was not touched upon or mentioned. It was thought by the originators of the congress, and I think wisely, too, that the injection of politics into such a gathering would do more harm than good. It was rather a discussive body. There were 100 speakers, to each of whom a topic had been previously assigned. These topics covered every phase of christian, educational and economic work affecting the interests and welfare of the race. Each speech was limited to a certain number of minutes. The results of this meeting will embody: 1st. The molding of a sentiment more favorable to the Negro throughout the country. He will be better thought of, and his efforts at self elevation or helpfulness will be appreciated by the country at large. 2nd. It will bring about a better state of feeling between the various religions and agencies of the race and unite them more in christian and educational work. This is greatly needed, and 3rd. It will direct attention and support, to the religious and educational forces as being the essentials of true progress and the fundamentals of our national peace and prosperity. This conference will convene in this city September 24th THE A.M.E. CONFERENCE. 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 cared for in befitting style. The pastor is gratified to some of the leading citizenes 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.

What are that committee doing that was partly formed about ten days ago.

WANTED- Three young men to learn to sat type. one young man to take charge of city circulation, and one reliable man to solisit advertisement and news items, apply at The TIMES office. The schools of our city opens Monday, and for goodness start that boy are girl of your, we have excellent staff teachers, whoes duty to teach your children, all you are asked to do is buy them books and send them to the building Yes Billy Bryan was here Wednesday night, and opened county democratic campaign with one of his flowery democratic speaches, to full house, about one-half of the people present were ladies, and one-half of the remainder were republicans. Mr Bryan is certainly a good orator, but his argument fail to take any effect on the Sedalia Negro voters. SOMETIMES our readers find something in our paper as a news item that perhaps does not suit their tastes. If so you should just "skipper," as somebody will read it and be pleased. Some of the people read the paper to learn of the different candidates, to find out who has left town and who parade will be had at about noon, and afterward the many attractions will be opened to the public at a small admittance fee of 10c. The raised at this canival will go to swell the convention hall fund. The colored people potronize this affair in large crowds and do there part in this enterprise for the who people of our city. This paper is a republican sheet first, last and always, and is republican from principle. We believe in supporting the same from its highest candidate to the lowest name on the ticket. In regards to he article that appeared in our last week's paper concerning Mr. Asbury Goodknight. The item was not the sentiment of this paper nor the editor, but was merely advertising matter, and should have been marked as such matter. The columns of the TIMES is open for all kind of advertisement for the whole people. But it is not for sale to any democratic candidate or politician. W. H. Carter, editor. The Negro Republican Club met in the hall of the Odd Fellow Thursday night, under the call of W. H. Carter as chairman, Only a few of the representative men were present, and after some short talks were made by Dr C. S. Walden, W. H. Hustn, Chas Holidoy, Jas. Newbils, H. G. Phillips, Wm. Ruby and Lee Nelson, a committee of seven were appointed by the chairman to advertise the opening of the Negro Republican headquarters and the election of officers and delagates to the League concession. Sept 23d. on next Monday night at 7:30 p. m. The committee. W. H Huston Dr C. S Walder C. W Holiday Wm Ruby Jas Newbils Lee Nelson James Ramsey HON. R. C. Kerens is said to be the republican candidate for U. S. Senator, and Hon Wm J. Stone, the democratic candidate. Mr. Kerens has proven to the Negroes of Missouri, the he their friend, in or out of politics. Words of loudest praise or going up for him by leading Negroes from over the state. The only thing the Sedalia Negro can do in return for the good deeds he has did for the Missouri Negro, is to cast their votes for Hon. J. H. Bothwell, for representative, who will never shurk or neglect a duty of voting for a man for Senator who is the party's choice, and the best man for all the people, like this stateman and gentleman, R. C. Kerens. What has Mr Stone ever said or did that would help or advance the Negroes of this State? Nothing. Then what will he do in the Senate for the Negro? Nothing as before. But there is one thing he will do, and that is, that he will vote with Senator Cockrell on all questions against properity and the Negro. THE SERVANT GIRL. Very frequently we are asked if we know some good reliable girl whom we can recommend as a domestic. Our reply has been in almost every case in the negative because the demand exceed, the reply. As these requests have mul tiplied we have wondered how it is that in our city there are so few girls of our race who offer themselves as domestic: but when we reflect that we are Americans we have partially answered th the average American to think herself above office. She looks down at were something delicate thinks that it is able to be a servant in office or department in some well-ordered state the fact that the average about the same And the servant in factory, offices or store; earning her daily bread, looks down upon the domestic who is also an honorable bread-winner. Our girls partake of this same foolish notion, and this fact answer in part for the lack of girls who are willing to enter domestic service. With us, however, our girls are generally excluded from the other forms of employment open to their white sisters. Only here and there do we find one employed as a shop girl, factory girl or stenographer. There is therefore a greater demand and opportunity for them as competent as domestic than anything else. This is a fact that cannot be gainsaid. Since this is true and we are a people who must work, if we would earn an honest living, why ought not our young women take pride in fitting themselves as competent domestics, learning every branch of household ecomony? Cooking is a fine art. Housekeeping is a science and she who is a good domestic has accomplishments of which she not be ashamed. There is a great advantage to be gained by many of our girls who in many cases come from homes of poverty in gaining employment as domestics in well ordered houses. They are taught neatness, order, cleanliness and the proper care of household goods which they cannot learn in their own homes. They are surrounded by an air of culture and refinement which cannot help but have a influenc upon them, Their training will be of infinite value to them when they come to be mistress of homes of their own. Being under no heavy expense they can readily save portion of their earnings. We know of one you young woman who is an excellent domestic and as such is able to command good wages. She has a neat little bank account, carries an endowment life insurance policy and puts in her spare time improving her mind by a regular course of study. What this young girl is doing others can do. The honest hard working girl will not be look down upon by anyone but a snob and they are not worth considiration. She will always have the respect of sensible, sober-minded people. We hope that no girl who has to earn her living will despise domestic service; but that she will understand it with the desire to be the very best in her line, feeling that her work is just as important, just as genteel, just as honor able, as that of the woman who earns her living by dressmaking, typesetting teaching school, clerking in a store or office or by any other trade or calling. All are servants, by what ever name called and our sole aim should be whatever we may be called to serve, to make that service absolutly the best possible. Omaha Enterprise.

PARKER, Acting Dis stewart W. J. D. Poetter Rev W. C Williams has been suffering from chills this week THE FIVE CENT CIGAR. Average Lifes of Popular Brands Said to Be Five Years. "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 $ \frac{1}{2} $ miles deep, we have in them alone 200,000,000 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.

People used to say: "Oh, I never pay any attention to advertisements; they never tell the truth." Now it's different; people do read advertisements and they believe them. Advertisers are becoming more careful and more scrupulously truthful every day. I know a firm of advertising agents who also own a medicated soap. I said: "Is it really such a wonderful thing, and do you take the care you say you do in making it?" The answer was: "Of course it is a good thing. We have seen too much of advertising to be fools enough to spend money pushing a poor article." Most all advertisers understand this nowadays, and that is why advertising pays better than it used to. The answer was : "The answer was." "Of course it is a good thing. We have seen too much of advertising to be fools enough to spend money pushing a poor article." Most all advertisers understand this nowadays, and that is why advertising pays better than it used to. The best place to put an advertisement is in The best place to put an advertisement is in the paper that enjoys the confidence of the community. I believe that the standing of the paper reflects on the advertisements it carries. There is another thought which never occurred to me, but which was conveyed in a remark recently made to me by Mr. M. M. Gillam, the advertising manager at Wanamaker's. He said: EDITORIALS "A sleepy paper gathers a sleepy constituency. An alert, wideawake, progressive sheet gets readers who like that sort of thing—or lifts them to its level." Wideawake people are the ones most influenced by advertising—progressive people who are not afraid of a new thing or a new idea; people who believe in the paper they read because they have learned to rely on it. Depend upon this. If the editorials carry weight, the ads. will pay. Put your trust and your money in that sort of a paper. Occasionally an advertisement will fall flat. The wise man looks for the reason. He doesn't say blindly: "Advertising doesn't pay." He looks at the condition of general trade, at the weather, at the goods and the price and the way the ad. was worded. This is certain: A readable ad. in a readable paper will be read. Probably not by all of the readers of the paper, but by a sufficient number to make the ad. pay, if the goods are right. No doubt about it whatever. It's as sure as sunshine. A cloudy day comes sometimes, but it doesn't stay long. 10 lbs "If the editorials carry any weight." FREE TO ALL!

From Infancy To Age Mother and Child Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of humiless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. "My baby is 4 months old and is teethiling. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through. If he were under the watchful eye, I would have given him a cool pill. If he were troubled with colic very much, and used to screen when he had a bout of it, I know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he my 27 years pretty fair all night. He is a great deal better than he was when he was given him LAXAKOLA, and I think he would not make nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 591 First Street, South Kensington, Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hauds cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient lexative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, billiousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Etty, Puch, E. Palestine, O., Boy 105, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your sample, it has done so much good, send me a foe, bottle." March 28, "Bottle came safe, did me a lot of drugs, got here don't keep it, so enclosed is 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good, want another at once." April 6th, "Enclosed is 50c, for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done much good." Laxakola for Old Folks. In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the fire bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion. The skin shows that your blood is bad. The only way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system of pores and lacunae. Does it, as LAXAKOLA FOR THE COMPLEXION Pale, Weak, Run-down, Overworked Mothers with Fretty Children, half sick, nervous, tired out with household and maternal care, sick, with blotched, muddy, sallow complexes, blood thin and impure, need building up and a thorough renovation of their systems.

It purifies the blood as no other medicine can, and your skin will not only be well but you will be well. gently moves the bowels and thus removes the cause, acts directly upon the liver and kidneys, keeping them active and strong, while its marvellous tonic properties clear the complexion, stimulate the liver, quicken the circulation, increase the flesh and brighten the eye; the nervousness specially disappears and the entire system recuperates and tones up to a condition of perfect and permanent health. It also regulates the secretions of health of the gentler sex whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic, and is invaluable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness. LAXAKOLA acts as a tonic to the whole female system, strengthening the organs and purifying the blood. It will cure the most confirmed case of constipation. With your bowels and stomach free from refuse and impurities, and your blood purified, willes, headaches, weak nerves, blotchy mouth, mildly complexions will vanish, and you will feel and look strong, healthy and vigorous.

Isn't it Worth 25c. To Be Cured of Constibation People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant lilies, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thin and impure blood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. Such cathartics are irritating and gripping wave the intestines with their acidity, and they greatly cure and the sufferer constipation.
