THE SEDALIA VOLUMN X No 9 FARMERS' CONVENTION. Second Annual Meeting a Success—Resolutions Adopted and Officers Elected. The second annual meeting of the Farmers' Convention was held at Lineoln Institute on Saturday, November 7th, 1903. President B. F. Allen had already organized and classified the students according to counties, and when the farmers came in they had but to take the seats set apart for persons from a given county. Banners with the names of the counties upon them designated the delegation of county or state, for there were several states represented in the student body. The convention was a great success, and besides those present, many letters were received from persons expressing their desire to be present, but owing to the losses occasioned by the floods, found themselves unable to come. The convention adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, We are living in a state, a greater part of whose citizens are engaged in agriculture and kindred pursuits, and all of whose citizens are affected thereby; and Whereas, We believe that education is to prepare us for complete living and that we shall not be prepared therefor if we do not teach our children the dienity of labor and show them the strength and inderence and manliness that will result from ownership: be it Resolved. That we deplore the deep-seated prejudice against farming that exists among our people; that we shall encourage among them agricultural and kindred pursuits, and shall endeavor to take the element or drudery out of it and make it as dignified as any other trade or profession by encouraging a better and higher standard of - living; by owning our farms and equipping them with the latest and best field and garden implements; by buying less and producing more of what we use on our farms; by diversifying our crops and systematizing our work and calculating intelligently on our expenditures; by discountening the credit and mortgage systems and any other practice that will tend to ruin; by encouraging fruit growing, stock and poultry raising and breeding, canning and dairying; by building good homes and making them comfortable and attractive; by subscribing for good papers and magazines and keeping our eyes open for the best markets; by building good churches and school houses and asking for the best and most competent teachers and preachers; by encouraging our boys and girls to become peaceable and good citizens and to make themselves indispensable to the communities in which they live. Resolved further. That from reports made here and now and from testimony of those who have observed, because of special interest, that the spirit which the first convention sought to inculcate and the principles for which these conventions stand, have already been accepted and are being acted upon by the colored farmers of the state; and that we continue but with renewed interest and effort to organize conventions in those counties where there are enough negroes to warrant it; that we encourage and urge exhibits of farm products here as tangible evidence of the improvements we make in methods and economy from year to year as results of these conventions. Resolved, Furthermore, That SEDALIA MISSOURI, NOVEMBER 21 19*3 we thank Dr. B. F. Allen, president of Lincoln Institute and president of the convention, for his ceaseless interest and great efforts, and that we shall do our utmost to carry out the aims of these resolutions. Respectfully submitted.—Committee. EASTERN TRIP. By H. J. Burton, Jefferson City, Mo. My first writing was mostly of Philadelphia, the city of many churches. Sept. 19, 7 a. m., I am on the train headed for New York City with 600 others. To our right coming into New York City, at a distance the Goddess of Liberty appeared in a mantle of fog from the bay standing upon a pedestal of marble. At the station, 8:30, we went to the boat and in 30 minutes we landd at Cedar street, New Yorn City. Rev. Sanders and your writer went to the great Childs restaurant and had our breakfast. Here they could serve 200 meals at once. From here we went to the custom house, on the steps of which stands the statue of George Washington, where he was sworn in as president of the United States in 1788. We boarded the elevated cars and went to Coney Island. Rev. Sanders slimmed off his shoes and stood in the tide of the ocean. We returned to Castle Garden and went into the aquarium and saw the fishes and wonders of nature. On Washington street is the great Babbitt soap factor that gives work to 2,200 men. We were on Wall street but did not get the money, and at the west end of this street stands the old Trinity church, the graves of those who died for their independence, and her are hundreds of crumbling and moss covered slabs and monuments which were erected to their memory. We crossed the great Brooklyn bridge and passed beneath its mammoth balcony. After going over this city and traveling about forty miles in New York City, at 6 p. m., we crossed the waters to our train, going back to Philadelphia to attend the meeting on Sunday. The sermons we heard equalled those in Missouri. For the most money the state of Arkansas received the banner. Let Missouri take it in 1904. n Monday I went to Washington, D. C. Mr. John Thomas had me go with him. He is a cook on the dining car; it is 136 miles from Philadelphia. Wilmington, Newark and Baltimore are the largest cities on the B. & O. railroad. At the later city the baggage is mostly handled by colored men. The tunnel is five miles long, the country is rough between Washington and Philadelphia. A railroad porter at Washington conducted me to 105 D street, northeast, at the beautiful home of my most esteemed friend, Mr. John Thomas, of Tinton, and his respected wife the daughter of Mrs. M. Henderson of Jefferson City, Mo. My stay at their home was indeed a happy one. After spending an hour in their home I went to the White house and many other public buildings. At the capitol I went through the main rooms senate and also the representative hall, and in the center under the dome we can see the statues of our fallen statesmen. Benton and Blair are standing in the northeast. The cartoons of many battles are on the walls. The national museum hall of 1879 contains the wonders from many nations, the specimens and relics of skill for If you are looking for a good article for little money You come here and we will show you some very nice things for your fall equipment.

ROEMER-GOODENOW Dry Goods Go. 214' Ohio Street Sedalia Mo THE Boston centuries back. The locomotives of 1828 and 1830. The national library is the palace of nations—it is of matchless beauty, and when at the station where Garfield was assassinated, I thought of the evils of immigration. I returned to Philadelphia and Rev. Sanders and I went to see the school children—white and the colored—pouring out for home. We went to Fairmount park, a beautiful place for amusement. Colored people are in all parts of the city. On Tuesday we left for Buffalo, New York. After spending some time here we went to Niagara Falls, 35 miles. This is the table land of New York and is an extensive plateau. The Niagara Falls are the wonders of the world. The American falls is 167 feet high, the Horse-shoe falls is 158 feet high. The contour line of the American fall is 1060 feet. When looking at these waters I said how did at these TIMES. Will be hard to beat. New Cloaks arriving daily in the newest designs and fabrics. The new Is the most correct thing in stock. Exclusive designs, all lenghts and prices to suit. We have the largest line of FURS in the city. This line includes all qualities from the cheapest Coney to the most beautiful Sable Suit. You cannot do better than to examine this line. MEN AND BOY'S Suits and Overcoat Our assortments in this line as well in other lines, can not be beat in Sedalia. We actually save you $2 on every overcoat and $5 on any suit. KIDD CLOTHING CO. 227 Ohio St. rs. A. E. Taylor go through these waters in 1901. Fifteen million cubic feet of water pass over the falls per minute. Across the Niagara river is the great steel bridge, 1240 feet abov water. The boat, the Maid of the Mist, will carry you up and let you kiss the falling waters of Niagara. I went up on it but Rev. Sanders said there was too much water for him, so I went into the shower of the falls without him. Here you can see the rainbow any time in the day. Rev. Sanders. Rev. McNeil, of Kansas City, and the writer went into Canada, and a wealthy colored man carried us in his carriage, and we went and stood in the Niagara, and after singing we offered prayer to God, thanking him for keeping us on our way and to look upon his wonderful works and matchless feat in formation of the falls. We went to the whirl pool rapids, water running 27 miles an hour, 200 feet deep and 300 feet wide, and at 4 p. m., we left for Detroit, down through Canada. Some odd things are to be seen. Miles and miles of fence made of pine tree stumps drawn up out of the ground. The Baptist national convention will meet in Texas in Texas in 1904. My next writing will be on lynching and disfranchisement. THE DEMOCRATIC CRY The democratic cry of Negro domination is a misleading term. What the democratic party really means is Negro degradation or humiliation. The democratic party does not fear negro domination, but they do desire negro degradation. The American negroes are on the upward march to the higher plane of man and womanhood. The American negroes, since their emancipation by the republicans, are living purer and better lives, and becoming educated and more intelligent, are seeking gher and better things in life. But Gorman and his followers are bitterly opposed to this aspiration in the negro, and in order that the democrats may impede the upward march of the negro, they raise the cowardly yelp of "Negro domination." But while a just God sits in glory, the democratic party will never succeed, in its damnable efforts. Divine Providence is simply a lowing allowing the negro hating democratic party to rush on to its own destruion. -Eagle GET A COPY OF OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER Which will be the greatest, largest and best special number ever published by a negro in Missouri.

The question is "How high does the Thanksgiving turkey roost?" Hawes, the boss of the police department of St Louis, has announced himself as a candidate for governor, with that awful machine at his back. We don't hear anything more about Dockery for president. The of Missouri have had enough of Dockery anyhow. The question has already been raised as to whether there will be a citizens ticket next spring or not. There are about two dozen candidates already. The democrats are howling "nominate Cockrell for president in order to save Missouri." Well, that won't save you. You are doomed to die before the bar of justice. Rev. H J Burton, traveling agent for the TIMES, passed thro' the city Wednesday enroute to Independence. He will return to Rocheport Sunday. What are the Negroes doing towards securing the North and South railroad? That Negro Business League could make a showing in this enterprise that would be of much credit to Sedalia Negroes. Rev W C Williams, ex-pastor of Quinn Chapel of this city, but now pastor of St James Chapel, A M E church of St Louis, spent Wednesday and Thursday in Sedalia on business and visiting his many friends. The ladies of Quinn Chapel served an elegant lunch Wednesday ih his honor and an enjoyable time was had. He departed for St. Louis Thursday. A Central Missouri paper tells of a live, up to date merchant who was sleeping in church one Sunday morning recently, when the minister woke him by saying loudly "Brethren, why stand ye here idle all the day?" "Because they don't advertise," answered the merchant before he had collected his senses. WOODS O! ERA HOUSE.

Ferrell, Deputy Organizer of the Royal Sons and Daughters of Douglas, returned to his home in this city after spending several days in Warsaw and Lincoln working up his soeity. CORRECTION.—The article in our last issue in reference to the late Mrs. Ellen Wesley being a member of the Sons and Daughters of Charity was an error of the writer. and we are authorized to correct the same by saying she was not. Don't forget to visit Dan Clifford, at the old reliable bar, when in want of anything to drink for Thanksgiving Such as Pure Whiskies, Fine Wines, Good Cigars and the famous Lemp Beer. 119 East Main street.

This Order has done a charitable act by sending for their brother and caring for him. THE EVIL OF MOBE. Three Negroes killed and seven wounded because they would or could not pay their debt to a pluck me store near New Orleans. For no offense three Negroes whipped to death and others driven away from their homes, which were confiscated, near Austin Tex, Mobs after Negroes at Topeko Kan. and Rosedale Ind. Negroes in Indiana and Michigan rowns ordered to leave the country. Stores in Indiana towns being burned because the awners refuse to be blackmailed by demands to leave money in designated places. Isaac Moore, Rochester Ind, ve rean of the civil war, aged 75 taken from his bed, hung by the heels and whipped nearly 10 death. Five hundred similar crimes in otoer places. "Somehow, we do not believe that the true solution of the race --- question lies in the intermarraige of Negroes and whites," says Dr. Scott, in the Southwestern Christain Advocate. We do not know of anybody who believes that it will. But the right of persons to marry according to rheir preference is not a matter that the state should deny or a juridice. except for crime or other misdemeanor, the right of the sexes, safeguards by a uniform marraige and divorce law, Justice and prevention of concubinage and bastardy can only be secured by such a uniform law, Black men are living with white women and white men are living with black women today who would enter the marriage relation if they could, and should be compelled to do so if they refused—10. peka Plaindeator.

I underwent a treatment for cataract, 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 thin aacuse, 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 and it used it if only to bring to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, hearing 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.
