Sedalia Times

Vote for G. G. Kelly, for Prosecuting Attorney. TOL IX Almost every day brings new evidence that the North now is socially about as unfriendly and hostile to the Negro as the South. The latest prominent instance that there is a strong prejudice against the black man on this side of the Mason and Dixon line, as well as on the other, comes from that great Methodist educational institution, Northwestern university at Evanson, Ill. The edict has gone forth from the Women's Educational association, which has control of the dormitories for women at the university that Negro women will no longer be admitted. While this does not exclude them from attending the university it will practically result in exclusion. No reason of any consequence was given for this discrimination save that fear. Once upon a time the North felt somewhat differently about the race problem of the country. It had a sort of sense of especial responsibility for the unfortunate black people of the south that grew out of the civil war. The North had fought to set them free and it felt that it ought to fight to put them on a higher plane. There was in those earlier days much talk about the equality of the races before the law and before God; and so on. It sounded well and promised much. But that was all while the Negro stayed in the south. Since he came north views have changed bit, and this Northwestern university incident is but one bit of evidence of that change. It is easy to dispose of another man's troubles. Northern philanthropists could theoretize most admirably about methods of dealing with the Negro problem as long as the Negro stayed in the south. The problem was at their every threshold and—it was different. A northern man who goes south to live usually comes back with different ideas about the race problem than before he saw it in its fullest extent. He is willing to admit that the south knows something about it, and perhaps it has suggestions that may be of value. It is to be hoped that ostracism of the Negro in the north will not grow to any harmful extent. However, the Negro's salvation depends upon himself, and he will rise in the social scale just as far as he can lift himself. He needs the opportunity for education, however, and it is the duty of the white man to provide him with this opportunity.—Council Bluffs Nonpareil. Will Go to the C. M. E. Confer- ence. Reb. T. M.

White, republican candidate for superintendent of schools, writing to the St. Louis Republic of Sept. 29, says: The Republic of this date contains an article entitled "How to Get Free Text Books." The correspondent says that I wave as the aggregate amount of all solvent notes, secured by mortgage or deeds of trust, the sum of $265, and pay taxes thereon. He also says that deeds of trust recorded in my name in Wayne county have an aggregate value of $3,744. I think the correspondent is mistakeu in both statements. My opinion is that, upon my statement of the actual value of the notes held by me, the assessor wrote about $600, being one-third of the actual amount, as is customary in Linn county, I am also of the opinion that trust deeds recorded in Wayne county show me to be creditor in an amount considerably in excess of $3,744, but as partial payments have been made to me during several years the actual amount due me is very ith College [Foot-ball] the present season, and promises to much less than the face of the record suggests. Some of the notes which I once owned I have traded for other property. I stand and the republican party of this state stands for free text books. The tax to pay for them would be very slight. The wealth of the state, which is the greatest indirect beneficiary of general education among the masses would, as it should, pay for the books necessary to the education of the youth of the state. Even upon a farm worth $2,000 to $3,000 of an assessed value of $650 to $1,000, the tax for free bocks would only be 11 and 17 cents respectively. Under such a law the corporate wealth of this state would pay its proportion of the tax necessary to buy books for the children, and the tax is justifiable, because the intelligence and industry of the [citizen] is the best possible guarantee against crime and pauperism. I am very willing to pay my small mite to help the good cause: I. U. WHITE.

It does seem hard for a young Afro-American youth, who is ambitious and eager to become a competitor with his white brother in sharing some of the blessings of life, for when we look at the recent actions that the many labor unions and other secret and political bodies have taken to suppress the colored laborer and prevent him from becoming a member of secret or political parties—simply because a man's skin is dark—he is ostracised. It is a shame, a snare, a gross injustice that he is thus treated. Why, last week the national association of stationary engineers, which met in Boston, voted to exclude colored engineers, notwithstanding the brave fight that Mr. Howard of Massa chusetts and Optenburg of Wisconsin, made for fair play and justice. Then in a certain southern state republican convention they excluded all colored delegates and would not admit them. And even last week in our city the Grand Sovereign Odd Fellows lodge, which held its annual session here amended the constitution so as to prevent colored men admission—will say more about this elsewhere. Team of 1901. lead all the rest this year. It is indeed a shame that our country is coming to forget their duty of loyalty, equality, justice and fraternity. Civilization cannot advance unless all are given equal chance and opportunity in the race of life.—Bystander, Des Moines, Ia. Farewell Reception Mrs D. Y. Steele and Mrs, Jackman served an elegant reception to a number of Rev. Williams friends in the church parsonage Thursday night in honor of the departing pastor, W C Williams.

Rev G W Dorsey; Mrs Wells and a number of other warm friends of the pastor.

Because NUMBER TWO THE FIVE CENT CIGAR. Average Life 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 Because he hes proven to be Right Man for this place. VOTE FOR R,N. LOWBR, for GOUNTY GLERK.

Ringen, for county collect- tor. We ask youto vote for him because he is a deserving gentle- msn, ono who has been tried in a county office, and proven to be of much benifit to the tax-payers of Sedalia and Pettis county. He has proven his ability to fill this by his past record as judge of Eastern district, in which he has served for successivelterms and by his sncces: as business man and an honest gentleman, The colored voters will ffidin Mr Ringen, an every [day friend, one who never refuse: to give a helping hand to a deser. ed and distressed colored man o1 woman, one who hasalways felt it his duty to contribute to theis churches and other creditable en. terprises. and by so doing the rea er can readily see that he is and al wayshas been the colored man’s friend, and deserves their solid sup port for the office he now seaks. Vote for him and elect him, be- cause he thoroughly qualffied and the best ofall a true and reliable friend to the Negro. Hon. J. H, Bothwel, the repub- lican candidate for representive, is ‘one of the best and most favorably known men before the voters of Fettis county at the present, Mr. Bothwell has represented Pettis county at three different sessions e the legislature, No one has ever questioned his ability or his enerfiy as a legislator. What is far more important, and should insure the election of Mr Bothwell by ahandsome majority, is the fact that his record has been above sus- picion and without reprooch. No one hss ever said a word against him, Democrats and republicans alike concede and approvh his hon- esty and integrity as an officer. He has done much for Sedalia and all ofits people, and at the same time has did what he could in help ing the Negroes in time of their needs and distress, he has been one of their best and _ strongest friends in the House of Represen- tive, and has stood for them when others were fighting and voting against them. We ask you, if he has not proven himself worthy of the support of every Negro voter in Pettis county. and we will do our duty and onr loyalty to a true friend by doing our part at the polls next November by voting for him, Sedalia must suffer the lost of two of its best colored pastors in the persons of Rev W. C Williams ofthe A, M. E, Church and Rev. G. W. Dorsey of the Baptist church. Rev Williams who has been signed to the St, James chap- el, t Louis Mo., leaves this city with a host offriends and with a recomeudation that will stand for years, as a christian gentleman, a church worker and a race man: ‘The church hae lost a good leader one that has did much for the church and for the cause of chris- |tianty. But he is gone to a new field of labor.and the question’ is that the members and friends of this church who will receive their new pastor, Rev Wm. Alexander, who is totake his place, will in him all that required to continue on the good work, The Times of- fers to the new pastor our hand of welcome and trust that future will shine as bright or brighter than the one who has just proceeded him Not only this church who suffers the lost of their pastor this week, but the members of the Morgan Street Baptist church has the same grievances, their pastor Rev G. W. Dorsey whohas been with them for the past three years, has been called to Evansville, Ind. Rev. Dorsey has did much to build up his church in this city, and the re. sults is that he has not only added great strenght to the church, in number and in spirit, but has add. ed great improvements and num. bers of good friends. He preach- ed bis farewell sermon Wednes. day night to a packed audiance of members and friends from all o| the churches in our city. and te them he thanked and bade gooc Ibye. Rev Dorsey is like Rev Wil liams, he leaves our city with hun dreds of friends and well wishers and suecess is due to each one o them in their new field. Sues | a.

A small advertisement is better than none, but it isn't so likely to bring profitable returns as a big one. Sometimes it is expedient to use a very small space. At such times particular care should be taken in the preparation. If the small T It is comparatively easy to construct a good advertisement if you have all the space you want to do it in. Skill is shown when a good advertisement is put into contracted space. Small advertisements can be made to pay, but they must be entirely different from the general run of small advertisements. It is so much harder work and takes so much longer time to make a good advertisement for a small space than for a larger one that very often it would be cheaper to take more space and save the time. There is a lot of money wasted in advertising, because merchants are too economical with their space. It is much easier to waste money by using insufficient space than by using too much. or space.

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. Gentlemen — Being entirely curled of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. I bought a baby carriage, right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this car 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 he could not hear, and 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. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation. Examination and advice free.

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 harmless 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 it 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 cathartics 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 fever 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 diarrhea, 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 toothing. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was infiltration of the bowels and that I would never pull him through perforation. My sister was going to get vomiting, I stopped praying for him and medicine as he was on his stomach. He was troubled with colic very much, and used to scream when he had a touch of it. I did know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a new drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked a charm, and he had a great deal better. I gave him LAXAKOLA, and I think if it hadn't known how good it was, they would give else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 597 First Street, South Boston, Mass. 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 hands 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.
