It is an inevitable fact that if the supreme Court of the United States would sustain the Alabama state's new constitution and the new constitution of North Carolina in disfranchising the colored people, especially they hold that the grand father is good, then the colored people and their white friends should demand that the 14th amendment to the constitution should beenforced, and the representation in Congress and electrical college should be reduced to the court number of qualified voters in such states. The 14th amendment acts as follows: whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of president or vice president, or for United States representatives in congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the legislatures thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any abridged, except for participation rebellion or other crime, the basis representation therein shall be reed in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall ```markdown ``` bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state. It is true that this amendment has never been enforced heretorfore, but the north and especially the Republican party thought that the south would eventually grant the right of franchise to the colored man, but now there seems but little hope for them to do so. Mr. W. E. Curtis, one of the most influential writers of the Chicago Record-Herald, gives some election tables that shows the violation of the 14th amendment and the injustice done the voter of the north. We herewith present that table. The rate at the last election is as follows: Illinois S. Car. First district.....32,345 3,924 Second district.....31,118 5,381 Fourth district.....15,875 4,703 Fifth district.....13,913 4,560 Sixth district.....33,298 3,981 Seventh district.....35,677 4,387 Total.....188,226 32,085 On this showing South Carolina is entitled to but ane congressman. The same comparison between the first nine districts of New York with Alabama gives similar results: New York Alabama First district.....36,138 5,974 Second district.....30,282 8,556 Third district.....36,134 9,035 Fourth district.....32,252 9,028 Fifth district.....33,078 11,698 Sixth district.....36,128 10,279 Seventh district.....34,282 17,581 Eighth district.....37,644 9,824 Ninth district.....13,890 8,770 Total.....289,778 91,539 But Mississippi makes an even worse showing at the polls than either of its sister states. The comparison with Indiana is as follows: Indiana Miss. First district.....41,397 6,245 Second district.....42,788 2,523 Third district.....38,007 1,146 Fourth district.....41,793 2,834 Fifth district.....47,333 3,801 Sixth district.....44,705 1,774 Seventh district.....48,456 2,022 Eighth district.....49,693 1,433 Total.....254,172 18,058 We believe that the American congress should cut down the South's representation, and we think that the eastern, northern and western states will not endure this gross injustice. this monster inequality very much longer.

How do you expect to win when you are always fighting your brother, under the cover. Read our article on "Who has or do skin Sedalia people" and who has been loyal to her enterest. We don't like to fight, but we have got the manhood enough to defend ourselves. We have not heard of any effort made by the Negroes of this state to build a monument to the late Col. Crisp! Remember the Memorial exercises at Taylor chapel next Monday night week. We notice that a Negro preacher in Illinois has sued a white barber for refusing to shave him on the ground of equal rights. We hope he will win his suit and then come over in old Missouri. A colored girl has been found in the bushes near Warrensburg with her throat cut from ear to ear, and they don't know who did it, but the white paper says that a Negro did it. Horace White the old reliable hotel porter, who has been engaged at the Elks' hotel for years, was badly beaten up Friday evening at the train while performing his duty. His face is badly swollen, and he is in a very bad condition. We are told several young colored men were standing near at the time of the fight, but they showed the yellow streak by not defending him, knowing that he was not altogether at himself. White is well known as a peaceful citizen, and must have been imposed upon or there would have been no trouble The Free Baptist rally, May 19, proved a success to the strength of the membership. Prizes were offered to the person soliciting the largest sum of money on cards for the church. The prizes were as follows; Sister Eliza B. Harland, first prize; Sister Emma Kaley second, and Miss Effie Burton thisd. Those paying one dollar --- were George Kaley, Sisters A L B Simpson and Nellie Anderson; those paying 50c and over, Sister Nancy Williams, 70c, Sister Martha Butler, 50c, others as to their ability. Amount collected, $21.70. The Free Baptist quarterly conference will convene with Elk Fork Friday at 2 p m before the 5th Sunday in May, continuing in session over Sunday. Quite a number of ministers are expected. Come and have a good time at this nice country church. REV, E. D. BURNS, Pastor. Booker Washington, while in Indianopolis the other day, was asked some questions in regards to the present status of Tuskegee College, said; The talk of ex-president Cleveland has done the school great good in the south as well as in the north—At my New York meeting a gentleman from Atlanta, give me $1000,—Mr Carnigies gift $600,000 will be used for endow ment purposes only.—The school now own 2,400 acres of land.—We have 1418 pupils, and have turned away 500 applicants to the last year for want of faculties. We have 110 teachers. We are cultivating 800 acres of land.—Our school teaches twenty eight industries pursuits—the largest number of male students take to farming—the other leading trades are, brickmaking, harnessmaking, shoe making. cookery, laundry work house keeping and nursing.

Our Paper is a thorough Negro enterprise,and is opperat edified and managed by Negro skill. Short Talks On Advertising By Charles Austin Bales. How do you expect your advertising to pay unless you give it proper attention? You wouldn't plant seed in a garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it would never grow into the fruit-bearing stage of development. "You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and never go near it again." "You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and never go near it again," A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: "I like to advertise in papers which charge a good, stiff, extra rate for display and for the insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a good many people using them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, run- "Do not say you haven't the time." "Do not say you haven't the time." and with almost the certainty of failing to get a ad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do some good—a good ad in a good paper will always pay. It isn't such a hard thing to write good ads; it is mainly a question of taking time ning the risk of making mistakes, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a really good announcement. A bad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do some good—a good ad in a good paper will always pay. It isn't such a hard thing to write good ads; it is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say you haven't time, because this part of the business is just as important as any other. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much.

DEP'T Fast St. Louis, IL BEFORE. I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which had been run continuously in identically the same form since 1866. That advertisement may have done some good, probably did; but to bring really adequate returns, advertising should be freshened by frequent changes of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be. That doesn't alter the case at all. The advertisement should be changed, and, if it costs a little more, it costs a little more, and that's all there is of it. It will pay to pay the additional charge. "Do not say you haven't the time." enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought.

Remember when you buy Moeshell's Beer, you are patronizing Home Industry. at the leading bafuCty A book has just been issued by the Atlanta University on the subject of the black man in the A people who have given the Negro question attention. The book will furnish food for study and reflection for men who on all occasions speak of the Negro's unfitness for citizenship, and it will be a source of comfort to those citizens who believe despite some outward signs to the contrary and the rantings of rabid rhetoricians that the black man possesses some elements of progress. While the number of artisans among the Negroes is comparatively small, investigation has demonstrated that they are good workmen and that among a number of business concerns in the southern states, employing 2,500 skilled Negro laborers, "three-fourths are satisfied with these workmen and will continue to employ them." The author shows that the attitude of the trades unions toward the Negro has been a stumbling block in his progress. Despite the fact that the American Federation of Labor once declared that it would receive all worthy men regardless their race, it still recognizes unions in which the color line is strictly drawn. The law against admitting negroes has been modified in the mining districts, where 40,000 of the 500,000 union members- But 500,000 other laborers are members of unions which will not admit negroes. The bodies outside the mining district which have opened their doors slightly to the negro have a membership of about 200,000, and of these only about 1'000 are negroes. Among the many tables contained in the book one of the most interesting shows the number of skilled negro laborers in 18 states. The most popular occupation, according to the statistical table, is 'steam railway employees,' of whom there are 45,080. Carpenters come next, with almost 21,000. Blacksmiths and wheelrights, marble and stone cutters barbers, bricklayers, boot and shoe makers and cotton mill operators follow in the order named. While the author points with pride to 357 patents of men who in spite of prejudice and organized opposition work at their trades, he does not lose sight of the fact that there is still much room for improvement among the negro artisans, and closes his work with this note of warning. "Defly guided with the larger wisdom of men and deeper benevolence of great hearts, an outcome of good to all cannot be doubted. Muddled by half trained men and guided by selfish and sordid interests, and all the evils of industrial history may easily be repeated in the South — Colored Statosman.

FOR SALE BY 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 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 catharsis 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 feething. 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 pebbles if he were under his care. When I saw he was getting worse, I stopped giving him his medication, and it was trouble with colic very much, and used to scream when he had a touch of it. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he no longer prefers fair all night. It is a great deal better than giving him LAXAKOLA, and I think it would give nothing 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.
