They must keep their children off of the street and put them in some intellectual training a part of the school year at least. Let the strong arm of the law urge upon the Negro parent, the same as upon others, keep their children in school. It means much to the Negro of this state to have all their children in school. More children will be employed; crime will be diminished among the races, because education reduces crime among any people; a stronger type of manhood and womanhood will be maintained; new and broader fields of labor will be opened to all; more will gradually rise to the more cultured ranks and a general rise to the noblest standard will be observed.

On our arrival there, we hastened with our limited amount of baggage to the home of Mrs. Lou Fields where we were comfortably located for the night. We had scarcely straightened ourselves in bed when our old friend W. S. Steverson came and "dragged" us out to see the "sight" with him and the Shannon brothers, Henry and Sammy, To "do" the town did not require much time. Hence, we were soon home in bed again at an early hour. Having enjoyed a sweet night's rest, we felt rejuvenated Sunday morning. Indeed, so stout did we feel that arrangements were made with Mr. Harvey Hanners to drive us to Blackburn to see Father Tayes in another hallelujah meeting. On our arrival there we found all hand at table partaking of a great feast. Of course we joined in (what would you have us do?) While looking of our correspondents, Miss Bertha Thompson, we ran upon our cousin Henry Yarmell, who would have us take a cup of coffee with him. And, to make us feel more at home he very graciously handed over a silver dollar and said for the CONSERVATOR to come on forever. Finally we arrived at the home of Miss Thompson, and after exchanging greetings we hastened to the church. Here a glorious general class was in session with Bross. Dan Porter of Sweet Springs, and Keith of Waverly as leaders. Everybody got happy. So happy did they get that they forgot it was a rally day. On our return from Blackburn we stopped at Bro. Crid Spriggs, one of the most substantial Negro land owners in Saline county. He gave us a check that was as good as gold and showed us about his 100 acre farm. We returned to the Springs in time to lunch and visited the services. Brother Divers was at his best and the people Subscribers Attention!!

Monday morning we were out on time looking about, when Brother Norris called us to his wagon, empty of sand, and gave us the proper change to keep the news in his home for another year. In one of the largest hardware stores in town we found our old friend, Sandford Fields, waiting on customers, but he took time to give us a dollar and said: "Let her come on." We felt that that we had done enough for Monday, so we looked up Halbeck and James Johnson, and after a chat with them we accompanied former home, where we spent the night. Mrs. Johnson and children had a time with the chickens the next morning (as we merely looked at the chickens with our teeth.) Tuesday morning we secured Bro.

Then she offered us a year's subscription. How joyfully we accepted! Mr. Guthrie was busily engaged in the erection of a barn. So you see our readers are all people that have something to do. Leaving town we drove on and on until we found poor old Henry Shannon—good fellow, in a rock quarry, waiting and working for dinner time. Henry made us smile just the same. Several pleas- atries having been exchanged we drove on until we arrived at the home of the Rev. R. W. Emerson who had just returned from the Association at Warrensburg. To our regret he had not been receiving the paper regularly. He's fixed now all right. On our arrival at the home of the Rev. Adam White we found him to be absent, but his very amiable wife gave us the cash just the same. Higher up the road, a little further, we found Rev William Thomas at home fresh from the corufield. He gave us a check and a good word of cheer, while Mrs. Thomas reminded us of our former visit in the community. From here we drove to Mt. Leonard, thence by Salt Springs to South Grove. On the road we met Horace Cooper and G. L. Clay, two enterprising farmers. Rain made it lively for us for several miles, but we finally reached Mrs. Fannie Fisher's where Rev. Divers stopped and ordered us to drive up to Lee Steverson's to feed our horse and ourselves. W. S. Steverson came out, invited us in and cared for us nicely.

Cunningham is mad and forgets the fact that in his own town Negro women are running assignation houses for the benefit of white men, in order that they may practice social equality.

"If he had sat down and studied how he could most effectively array the whites against the black in the South, he could have hit upon a plan that would have been more effective than the one he has adopted. Booker T. Washington ought to be ashamed to make a public appearance with a young white women who has no more self respect than to accept his escort.—Houston (Texas) Post. Wanamaker no doubt considers Washington on a plane equal to the one which he occupied, and we are not disposed to disagree with him. If anything, the darky has the better of it. But Booker T, has alienated much of the sympathy which has been heretofore freely given him by white men in the South, and this he will find is a loss for which the glory of dining with Wanamaker is a poor recompense.—Memphis NewsScintar.

Stagg, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, to right said that the actions of Booker T. Washington in Saratoga will retard the union of the Northern and Southern branches of the church for many years. "Mr. John Wanamaker, with whom Washington dined publicly, is a prominent member of the Northern Presbyterian Church, and all Southern members of the church will resent his action. I blame Washington more than Mr. Wanamaker. He knows better, while Mr Wanamaker does not understand sentiment in the South against anything bordering on racial equality." DID NOT ESCORT WANA MAKER'S DAUGHTER. Birmingham; Ala., Aug. 20. President Booker T. Washington has addressed a letter under New York date, to the Age-Herald of this city concerning his recent visit to John Wannamaker at Saratoga. He says: "I did not escort any female member of Mr. Wanamakers family to or out of the dining room. I did dine with Mr. Wanamaker and members of his family at a hotel at his request—for the purpose of talking on business—but at the time was a guest at a colored hotel at Saratoga. WHY COLORED PEOPLE SHOULD READ COLORED NEWSPAPERS. The reason why colored people should read and support colored papers are obvious. Of course, the average colored newspaper is very limited in matter as to state and national happenings, but we can easily see from the daily press that they make a specialty of presenting all the bad things done by our people and leave nearly all the good untold: the colored paper, to the contrary, aims to present the better things done. Furthermore, the big dailies never offer much opportunity to young colored men and women for employment. For these stern facts every colored person in the nation should read some colored paper. Think over these facts and act accordingly, also pay for them when you take them.—The Bluff City News. FAYETTE.

"Did you ever stop to think just how much character has to do with a man's credit in the business world?" asked a man of the Milwaukee Sentinel.

"That is not so true in the east as in the west. In the east a different atmosphere prevails, while in the west men of means will take a man's character as his principal asset. That fact has had a great deal to do with the development of the country. In Scotland, I am told, a man with a character and known to possess business ability can secure any reasonable amount of money to start in business without giving any security other than his promissory note. "The same principle prevails to a great extent in selling goods on the road. Some houses will not deliver an order unless the buyer is rated highly.
