Sedalia Weekly Conservator

Sedalia Weekly Conservator. VOL. III. The time is past when the only careers in life open to a Negro were to pick cotton, make up berths in a pullman car or wait on a table. The study of the Negro population of the United States recently published by the Census Bureau discloses some facts that show very clearly that the colored race is steadily developing a complete social aid industrial system of its own. There is hardly any branch of industry in which the Negroes are unrepresented, and that statement includes the women as well the as men. Alargecity could beferred with out a single white man in it, and yet lack for no trade or profession. There are 21,268 Negro teachers and college professors in the United States, 15,530 clergymen. The Negroes could finance a railroad thru their 82 bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engineers and surveyors, condemn the right-of-way with 728 lawyers, make the rails with their 12,327 iron and steel workers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telegraph system with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55,327 railway employees. Colored people complain that they have sit in gallery in white theaters, but their 2043 actors and showmen might give them theaters in which they could occupy the boxes in solitary granduer. They have fifty two architects designers and draftmen, 212 dentist 210journalist, 3921 musicians and teachers of music, 236 artist and teachersofart, 1734 physicians and surgeons, and 96 literary and scientific person. Colored babies can be introduced to the world by Negro physicans and nurses, instructed in every accomplishment by Negro teachers, supplied with every requisite of life by Negro merchants, housed by Negro builder, and buried by Negro undertaker. There are Negro bookkeepers and accountants, clerks and coypist, commercial travelers, merchant, salesman, stenographers and telegraph operators. Negroes are in every manual trade—carpenters, masons, painters, paperbangers, marblecutters, glassworkers and nearly any other trade or profession you may mention—that statisians think it worth while to count. And a curious thing is that in whateverline the Negro man is at work there also a Negro woman. The only occupation which the colored women have allowed their men folk to monopolize are these of the architect, the banker and broker the telegrapher and telephone linemen, the boilermaker, the trunkmaker and the pattern maker. You can hire a Negro civil engineeress or a electriciene. There are164 colored clergywomen, 262 black actresses, and ten Afro-American female lawyers. One Negro woman works as a roofer, another as a plumber, and forty five of them are blacksmiths, iron and steel workers and mechanics. There are wholesale 860 retail merchants. Other are journalists, literary persons, artist, musicians, government officials and practitioners of an infinite variety of skilled and unskilled trades. In many respects the colored population bears a marked resemblance to a European peasantry. Take for instance, the extensive employment of women in agriculture. Nearly 600,000 Negro women and girls—almost as many as the numbers in all other occupations combined—are engaged in farming. Over half million of them are employed as farm laborers, out numbering the white women three to one. Negroes operate about one eighth of all farms in United States, which is rather more than their proportion of the populatian. But, of course, their share in acreage and value of the land is much smaller—only 46 per cent of the former and 2.7 per cent of the latter. In South Caroline, Mississippi and Louisiana more than half the farmer are worked by Negroes Moreover, half of all cotton plantations in the United States are under black control, altho, of course, they average less in size than those run by white men. The black farms of all kinds produce greater values to the acre than the white. There is a greater stretch of land, extending from the Atlantic to the Gulf Coast of Texas, in which half of all the farms are operated by Negroes. In three counties more than nineteen-twentieths of the farms are in colored hands; in thirteen counties more than nine-tenths; in fifty four counties more than three fourths, and in 205 counties in eleven states more than half. Negro barbers, porters, servants and waiters loom large in the popular imagination, but they really form an insignificant part of the colored race. The barbers are a little over half of one per cent of the income-earning Negro men. Servants and waiters are four and one half percent. Over fifty eight per cent of those men are engaged agriculture. It is noteworth that the proportion of self supporting Negroes is much larger than the whites. Of all over ten years old, 84.1 per cent of the colored males and 40.7 per cent of the colored females are engaged in gainful occupations against 79.5 per cent of the white male and 16 per cent of the white female similar occupied. These are figures to which the Negro can "point with pride" when he is accused of preferring themidnight chicken and the surreptitous watermelen to the joy of labor. Free Baptist Association at Burns Chapel. The Western Missouri Association held it's annual session at Burn's Chapel Aug.,17-20. The Association was well attended and the people of Sedalia spared no pains in making it pleasant for the delegates and ministers present.

Sedalians were severely grieved last Friday and Saturday, when they were told that Mrs Orris Abbott had been made a victim of death. It had been known for some time that she was seriously ill but no one anticipated that death would result. The deceased was born in Lincoln county' on March 12. 1844. She was formally a Miss Orris Clark but was married to Peter Abbott, Sr. in 1860, on Christmas day. To this union were born nine children, George, Benjamin, Peter, John, Sylvester, Ardonia, and the Mesdames Emma Fisher of this city, Susan J Blackburn, of Kansas City, and Anna Epps, of Lexington. All her children survive her. She was bereft of her husband about 20 years ago but with in] domitable courage and unfaltering faith she assumed, the care of the family. All her children were given the opportunity to secure an education. She impressed herself upon this community as a motherly saint, allowing no one to leave her door in distress without doing something to lighten their affliction. Her neighbors looked upon her with the highest esteem and to greet her in their door was an occasion of much joy. In her Christian influence, she felt in and out of her home. Of a sweet, patient but firm disposition, see has left the impress of her Godly character upon all, who were intimately associated with BIRD'S CAFE AND RESTAURANT Board by the day, week or month.

Rev Richardson Davis in his enlogy over the remains emphasized the greatness of her character and the nobleness of the career she made here in this life. Her body was lain to rest in the city cemetery immediately after the funeral services at Taylor's Chapel Monday afternoon. Her body may molder and decay but the results of her having lived in the world shall live forever. THE LEXINGTON UNION BAND Asks the patronage of the citizens throughout the State.

POTOSI News has reached us of a prominent young business man in the person of Prof J A Lankford who was born and reared this little town of Potosi. Prof Lankfork is now a leading Negro architect and builder in Washington D C and probably, in the country. He is said to be the most scientific and practical architect and mechanical engineer the Negro race has ever produced. No doubt he stands at the head of his profession. He was unanimously elected president of Washington Negro Business League of Washington D.C. and was on program at the National Business League which convened in New York on Aug., 16. Every race loving Negro in the country should give this young man a chance to show his ability as an architect and builder, one who is competent and fully capable to design construct and build any building which they may have built or designed. The Knight of Pythias have purchased a lot near Baptist church and will begin building their new hall soon. Mrs Daisy Scaffield of St Louis is the guest of Mrs Maggie Johnson. Mrs Daisy Lankford entertained a few friends Thursday afer'n.

Lawyer W R Morris, of Minneapolis, Mian.. was in the city on his way to attend the annual meeting of Knights of Pythias at Pittsburg. If chief John M Collins of the Police Force of Chicago wants to, do a commendable thing and one that is very much needed in this in the city of Chicago, he should clean out from bottom to top the officers in the Desplain Street Station and transfer them to some other Station and discharge the remainder from the force. Officers such as Sergent Micheal Broadwick, and a few of his pet followers at the station should be similarly discharged. Under the present management the Desplains Street Station is nuisance and a disgrace to the city of Chicago. Hardly a repectible person can go there and receive any information and be treated decently. People are arrested and locked up frivoulous charges and prevented from sending words to their friends and are denied the opportunity to see their lawyers and numerous irregularities are carried on there, which are not only injustice and wrong and a violation of the law, but a disgrace to this city. It is nothing strange to some of the police officers sitting around at this station using objectionable language in the presence of ladies and gentlemen Complaints have been made about the matter heretofore. Chief Collins has now an opportunity to weed out these offensive, incompetent, unreliable and ungentlemanly officers at this station which it is hoped that he take action.

In the Southwest -Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas-are vast areas of unimproved land not vet producing the crops of which it is capable.
