A substantial part of the world's wealth belongs to you—enough to make you comfortable and independent; but there is only one way to get it, and that is by giving value received in honest persistent effort. When you do this it will surely come to you. The next question is, how are you going to keep it? There is, only one way, and that is to make a rule to set aside a side a part of your income regularly, and put it where it will be safe and grow larger. Safety and profit are two important things in handling your money. We offer both for your convenience and solicit your patronage. TOO MUCH BUSINESS push and concentration cannot be given to a Negro business institution. It has more difficulties to conquer than others. Are you a race man? Do you practice what you preach? Can you properly succeed in any business or profession without the support of your own people? If not you owe to the people who support you, a support to those institutions which build up their standing, reflect credit upon their citizenship and accommodate their necessities. We want you to call this 'Your Bank' and feel interested in its growth and worth in the community. People's Bank and Trust Co. Muskogee, Ind, Ter. W. T. Escoe, President. J.

Ralph Blair, 116 SOUTH OSAGE ST Great Naval Display HAMPTON ROADS TO BE THE SCENE OF A BRILLIANT MARINESPEC TACLE DURING THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. No more appropriate place than Hampton Roads could be imagined as a setting for the naval rendezvous to be held there next year in connection with the Jamestown Per-Centennial Exposition commemorating the landing of the early English colonists at Jamestown, Virginia, not far away. The site of the Exposition is on the Southern Shore of Hampton Roads not far away from the clustering cities of Tide water, Va. Almost equidistant from the site are the cities of Norford, Portsmouth, Newport News and Old Point Comfort. At this latter spot is the government's greatest artillery station and the waters in front of it have long been used as a rendexvous for the fine ships of Uncle Sam's navy The water is of sufficient depth to float the largest battleship and placid enough to lull anyone to sleep on the tiniest pleasure craft For miles the great roadstead stretches away from the site of the Exposition grounds encircled with spots recalling every epoch of the martial history of the United States. First and foremost of these is of course the great fort at Old Point Comfort known as Fortress Monroe. The water include the scene of the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac or Virginia. They once floated British sailors in a fierce attack made on Craney's Island in the harbor. The attack was repulsed with great loss. John Paul Jones was a frequent visitor coming down in his yacht from his plantation on the banks of the Pappahannock. The Constitution and the Constellation sailed from its waters on famous cruises which brought them and their commanders eternal glory. The ill fated Chesapeake set forth from Hampton Roads on the cruise which was to humiliate her commander by his being obliged to surrender with almost no resistance, Sewell's Point, the site of the Exposition, was itself dur- HAN OTHERS COMBINED."

Similat infractions of discipline have never been dealt with in such a way in the army. When, in the State of Washington, members of the Fourth Cavalry took from jail and hanged a man who had killed one of their number, and it could not be learned who the culprits were, the colonel or the regiment was court-martialed and punished as the responsible head of the command. The Treatment of Colored Soldiers by White Citizens of Brownsville as Given by White Commander of Colored Troops. Of the attitude of the citizens of Brownsville toward Negro soldiers, Major Penrone says: "That the enlisted men have been subjected to indignities since their arrival here there can be no doubt, and this has caused a good deal of feeling among them. The one case to which I attribute this ontbreak I will make the subject of an official report as soon as John W. Vann, the collector of customs, returns to the city." "Major Penrose then outlines briefly the case in question. Privates Newton and Lipscomb were passing along a walk where some women were standing, engaged in a conversation with a man named Tate, who is employed in the customs office. Tate knocked Newton down with the butt of a revolver and is reported to have said: "I'll learn you to get off the sidewalk when there's a party of ladies on the walk." When Private Newton arose Tate is said to have covered him with the revolver, commanding: "Damm you, leave, or I will blow your brains out." The change was decided upon as the result of a telegram from Calberson of Texas. The president was communicated with without delay and directed the change of troops at Brownsville. New York Sun Says Noble Record of Colored Regiments Should be Considered. (From Editorial in New York Sun, copied in Washington D. C. Post "LEST WE FORGET" It was another Negro regiment, the] Twenty-fourth Infantry, that was ordered to fever stricken Siboney after the assault of San Juan Hill in which it lost three officers and ten men and had four officers and seventy one men wounded. The story of its heroism in the fever camp has been told by an officer as modest as he is brave, Maj Alfred C. Markley, but it is buried in the report to the War Department made in 1898 by the major general commanding the army. OFFICIAL REPORT OF COLORED SOLDIER'S HEROISM Sixty five nurses were needed for the pest camp, in addition to seventy nurses and attendants for the hospital proper. Capt. A. A. Augur, of Company H, called for volunteers for the pest camp, after explaining the risks of the service. "Fifteen gallant fellows" said Maj. Markley, "responded from his company, and this fine example soon produced more than were needed for all purposes." The record of that black regiment in the pit of horror called Siboney transcends in heroism anything done by any charging soldier on the bullets swept and sunlit field of San Juan, with the inspiring colors streaming in the wird. Out of 456 inlisted men, only 24 escaped sickness. The sick often went on duty with the well. No man faltered, none made excuses. They nursed she sick, they dug graves, they buried the dead, men of the Twenty fourth among them. On August 8 the heroic medical officer in charge, the even tempered, sanguine, indefatigable La Garde, who never seemed to sleep, broke down and was attacked with fever. His loss was of the sort to breed panic, but the same fortitude and devotion were shown by all ranks to the end. When the day came at last to entrain for Santiago and there embark for home, nine officers and 198 men marched to the cars with the regimental band and the colors flying.....In view of its display of a higher order of valor in the fever camp at Siboney, is it not fitting to regard the Twenty fourth as a regiment worthy of a place in that heroic brigade? PRECEDENT SET WILL DEMORALIZE COLORED SOLDIERS. At a time when a battalion of Negro troops may be sacrificed by a scratch of the pen for the sin of not turning informers for such is the indictment against the battalion as a whole, it is a duty to resurrect from forgotten records such a story as that of the heroic 24th Infantry, in the hope that a precedent will not be set which if followed, would demoralize the ranks of the Negro regiments of the United States army. They have distinguished themselves on every field, from Port Hudson to Santiago, justifying the invocation of George H. Baker: "Hail them as comrades tried; Fight with them side by side; Never, in field or tent, Scorn the black regiment."

Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 17.—The father of James Taylor, Jr., who shot and killed Isaac Carter, a Negro, at Duquesne last Monday night, offered a reward today of $1,000 for the capture of his son. "I want my son brought to justice." said Mr. Taylor. "I will have to sell my property to pay the reward, but I will willingly do it." AN APPEAL TO THE CLERGYMEN OF THE UNITED STATES FOR GARRISON'S CENTENARY. The following letter of the Boston Suffrage League, in which the clergymen of the country are asked to fittingly recognize the Garrison centenary has just been issued. "To the Clergymen of New England and the United States: The undersigned, a sub-committee of the Suffrage League of Boston and vicinity, under whose auspices a celebration is to be held in Boston on December 10 and 11, believing William Lloyd Garrison to be one of the noblest characters in our country's history and one of its greatest benefactors as well as one of the world's great est moral agitators, carnestly petition you to take cognizance of the 100th birthday of this great American on Sunday, Dec. 10. "As representatives of that element for whose freedom Garrison gave the best efforts of his life with such success, we appeal to you to utilize this occasion to arouse the American people to a sense of the enormity of the present evil of Negro-American serfdom through the nullification of those amendments to the constitution which are the dearly bought fruits of the war for freedom, and to start a second Garri sonian movement to abolish Negro American serfdom in this land as the first Garrison movement abolished Negro-American chattel slavery in the past, that it may be in very truth the 'land of the free.' "Emory T. Morris, Cambridge "Rev. Wm. H. Scott, Woburn, "Chas. H. Hall, Cambridge, "Committee." The Negro's Here to Stay. By C. W. Brooks. Men may talk and legislate, And figure night and day; No matter how they calculate, The Negro's here to stay. He may be forced to stand aside, By those who have the sway; His equal rights may be denied, But yet he's here to stay. To Africa he'll never go, For pleasure. love nor pay, So give the son of Ham a show, For he is here to stay. White men argue, talk and plan And clever thoughts convey, As to what they'll do to the black man, But the Negro's here to stay. This is the white man's country, here— At least that's what they say, But the Negro entertains no fear, For he is here to stay. Why not grasp the Negro's hand And help him on the way? The white man brought him to this land, And he is here to stay. Whether the Negro's rich or poor And whether at work or play, Of one thing we may all be sure, The race is here to stay. The Negro's blood helped pay the price Of the peace we have today. Breathes there a soul who feels too nice For the Negro's here to stay. You need not scorn his humble birth And strut by him so gay; For so long as heaven rules the earth The Negro's here to stay. So remember the Negro in your prayers, If ever you kneel to pray, And he will share your joys and cares, For he is here to stay. —Muskogee Cimeter FARMINGTON Elmer Amonette has been quite ill, but is able to be out again.
