Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1.—Booker T Washington, the noted Negro educator, president of the Nat'l Negro Business League, in session here made a speech to 3,500 colored people in Bethel church, in which he discussed the many criminal assaults in this county this summer, with their subsequent lynchings. He denounced The Woman's Club Notes. The Philanthropic section will meet at the Home on south 12th street, on Monday afternoon, Sept. 24th. The chairman, Mrs. Lucy Young. desires to have each friend and member bring a good donation All the little girls who are to take part in the juvenile section, will please be ready by Oct., 6, as we will have a meeting on that afternoon at 3.30. The place of the meeting will be announced "Be ye doers and not sayers only." the lynching and at the time laments the assaults. He gives as a remedy a conference between the leading whites on the subject, declaring a conference would accomplish great good: He says, in part: 'No man condemns more than I do anyman who assaults or attempts to as- later. Mrs. J. C. McClain is the superintendent. Miss Hattie Fisher of N. 12th street, who has been quite ill for the past week, we are glad to report, is improving. Mesdames E. O. McKinney and J. C. McClain arrived home on the 16th from Chicago, where they had been attending the Grand Session of the Court of Heroines of Jerico. Their stay was a pleasant one and they succeeded in getting the Grand Court to come to this city next year. The officers elected for 1906 07. are as follows: sault a woman. No man condemns more than I do that class of our race who bring trouble and disgrace on our race. In my opinion, a partial remedy for the existing conditions is a systematic effort to rid all cities of idle Negroes who loaf on the streets and in barrooms who are supported in a large degree by the work of women."

Young Colored Men Should Take Front Rank. The day has come and the time is opportune, for we the young colored men, to take front rank in the civil, political, industrial, moral and educational activities, and especially so in the moral and industrial lines. We should become students of economy in its broadest sense. We should strive to own property and learn the trades. We have great need of tradesmen and girls who can cook a digestable dinner and make a correct fitting dress and hat. We also need men and women with some literary training, able to write for magazines and papers and to write boods that will sell. Our young people are too much carried away with "funny things'"—whenever you say "minstrel" every Negro boy is eager to play a part. This species of pleasure is all right in its place, but it should not be the paramount and "transcendent" goal of all of us. Let us also take to literary programs which evolves are courses to be evolved, something noble and aspiring. How deplorable it is to see dozens of young hearty, bright looking, educated; (school trained.) Negro men, hovered around saloons, perfectly contented, only desirous of existing and wearing gay clothes—this does not stigmatize all, but it is abominable to the extreme to see so much of it—go off the streets and work, for by the sweat of thy brow thou art to eat bread. Let us make war against idleness, for it is a great crime and the stampeder of our progress here and elsewhere, among all races and classes. Peonage Holders on Trial. The men at Cape Girardeau Missouri, who were, last winter, charged with peonage, are being arraigned before United States Judge Thompson this week. The case is attracting considerable attention. Always aim to be prepared to pay our collector Monday or Saturday, as these are the regular days of call. The Illinois State Fair will open up September 28, under most favorable circumstances. You are cordially invited to be present. Attend the Leland hotel waiters' ball, Monday evening at Masonic hall. Mrs. Nora Early of Hannibal, Missouri, is visiting her mother, Mrs. L. Mitchell of 1122 E. Reynolds street. From here she will go to Chicago where she will reside in the future. THE FORUM A weekly magazine paper devoted to the interests of the whole people.

"Gimme dat old time religun," is all right, so far as the motive is concerned, but many people misconstrue the meaning. The old time religion is meant that old time sincerity, honesty, love for church and respect for moral and other advancements. The people should not be persuaded to believe that "born again," means some strange or weird change or miraculous demonstration Born from evil thinking to good thinking, is sufficient Capt. Lynch is Promoted. On account of General Dodge retiring last Tuesday, Capt. Lynch, a Negro, was promoted to be a Major in the United States Army. Major Lynch is one of our most prominent men in the army and was once a member of the House of Representatives from Vardaman's State, and later was fourth Auditor of the U. S. Treasury. He has been identified with Republican politics in the South for a good many years —The Fulcrum Little Rock, Ark. The speech of Booker T. Washington before the National Business League, recently at Atlanta, Ga., has been spontaneously and unanimously lauded by most of the papers over the country who take sane and conservative views on all questions of large proportions. He denounced lynchings and those who provoke them in no unequivocal terms and plead for a better racial spirit. He urged our people to secure and maintain the tangible things which are our only substantial foundations. His speech is a masterly one and a credit to our people. We hope it will be fruitous to this and coming generations, even to the third and fourth. A long felt want is young colored men who will learn the trades and cultivate the soil. THE FORUM Negroes Should Diversify Politics. Why don't the Negroes over the south, like the Negroes north, divide their politics between the Republican and democratic parties? That will be the best thing we know for their redemption, politically. Southern Negroes are getting along finely industrially, but they will never be an important factor in their national affairs until they become component parts in the government under which they live and to which they are subjected. Negroes should use their judgment in local affairs and not confine themselves to one party, necessarily. But whatever or person you support, know that he stands for fair and just administration of the laws and equitable distribution of the spoils. This is applied, primarily, to the south, which has never taken but one stand, and received less, especially in local affairs. Parents' Duty to Child. The parents owe to the child a number of duties that cannot be shirked. First of all the child should be trained by the parents to be well behaved, not only to home folks but to strangers as well. The child should be taught in the ways of the Lord early in life, by its parents. It is the duty of parents to so train the child while young, that it will be useful and respected in later years. The heart training is first to begin with. The hand training begins next. The child should be taught to work with the hands while it is yet a child, and the parent above all others is best suited to this labor. Head training is essentially necessary and this includes school-room work from ABC and the blackboard to College or university graduation. The parent must do the initiatory work in laying the foundation of the child's education. The best thing that the parent can do for the child in the way of its getting along in the world is to give the child a good education. Money put into the child's head cannot be stolen, cannot be thrown away. It may not be put to best use by the child in its earlier years, but in later years it will come in alright. The best heritage that parents can give their children is a good Education. If the parent is able to give the child an education and also leave it some property, it is alright, but if not able to do both give it an education, then let it accumulate property for itself. If the educated child has not the industry and thrift to accumulate property for itself, it would not be able to keep property that parents would give it. We hope parents will ponder well these words of advice which we give in all sincerity.—Georgia Baptist. The Forum did not say that Frank T. Reid would be the next city clerk, as a contemporary has erroneously quoted us as saying. We remember saying, and still say: In our opinion, he would be the democratic nominee—we do not even know that. We are not so much of a fortune teller as to foresee who the men will be who are to represent the various offices next spring. --- If you're in doubt let us lead trump to you?

The demands in all parts of this country. and in several foreign coun- tries, for well trained men of our race iu the direction of scientific and practical agriculture are so great that this institution is willing to offer exceptional advantages to young men who wish to come here and take either a regular or post-graduate course in agriculture. We cannot begin to supply the demands that come to us for trained men in the direction of agriculture. The posi- tions for which these trained men are wanted are those in almost every case which pay high salaries. We wish to get hoid of men’ who tego received as far as pssible, a good education before coming here, )and are ready to enter on a tho- ‘rough course in agriculture, — Per- | sons, however, can pursue the literary studies at Tuskegee, while taking the course in agriculture.

A choice line of WINES. LIQUORS and CIGARS ce Cold Reisch Beor on Tap.. The Republican County Central Committee certainly overlooked the Negro in their selections, Preston Clay being the only member of that body, and yet they expect the Negroes' vote and they will get it, too. There is a vast difference between the man who advocates "policy" and the man who advocates principles. The former flourishes for a time like a green buy tree; the latter has substantial peace and prosperity. Principles live forever; policies die with the people who inaugurate them.—Nat'l Baptist Union. The Jamestown Exposition. Theter Centennial which is to be held at Jamestown, Va., 1907, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims at that place, or properly, the first permanent English settlement, will be one of the finest in many respects, ever before offered so far as the colored people are concerned. Col. G. Jackson has charge of the Negro department and promises to have the greatest exhibit ever before seen by our people. As long as gullible women and weak-minded men continue to pear their shekels into the coffers of the humbugs and imposters who pretend to tell "fortunes," the latter will be wearing diamonds while the former will be lucky to get pork and beans for lunch.—The Freeman. [You are quite right. Colored people should get out of these queer notions. Some people may be able to tell you facts, but the majority of them are bogus.] By dodging and modifying his once presumed uncompromising convictions, William Jennings Bryan has lowered himself as a great man with ideas and ideals of his own. He says he is for public ownership of the railroads if the people want them. That is very weak. Charles Sumner, Garrison, Phillipps and Beecher, were made of "sterner stuff." They were statesmen. A wisher washer man like Bryan, will not have his words quoted only in idicule, by the coming generations. Negro Attendance Deteroating. Why is the Negro attendance at the high school so small? Are we losing interest in higher education, or, are we waning along the lines of education generally? There should be 25 or 30 boys and girls in the high school all the time. We are told that about ten is the number attending. If this is all, it is a shame on the Negro contingent of this city. Welamor for opportunities and make no effort to prepare our saves to accept them if they should be proffered. Attend the emancipation celebration to day at Irwin's Park.

While we have not as yet made any call to Negroes to leave the south and come north, nor have we many advantages to offer, nor the best inducements, but as there are so many Negroes in certain parts of the south who are not given even a shadow of their rights and who would, no doubt, "rather be a door-keeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of the wicked." and who are respectable citizens, who desire to go into business, till the soil or work at some trade, to all such people over the south, we invite you to Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and the west and east. Come you may not have an easy start, but come for business, not to loaf, run after lewd white women as the riff raff element from the south seem to think their sine quo non. The good-for-nothing element can stay, but we want industrious men who will not sell their vote. When the right kind begin to fill in we will have undisputed power politically and industrially. We hope the Springfield young men will open their eyes also. All work is honorable, black boots if the end to which you aspire is higher and the object ennobling. Come over here, ye sons from Dixie land and help us and help yourselves. We advocate the resentment of all insults thrust on our people, but before taking any action, we desire to know as to whether or not the insultee provoked or caused the insult. We do not propose to uphold Negroes in misbehavior and when they are treated according to their deportment, cry out against the white people for unfair treatment. Good conduct precedes good treatment and bad treatment is simply the effect of bad conduct. Look how many of our young people cluster up and blackade certain parts of Washington street. Here are strange incidents: why are Bryan, Shaw, the daily papers and the magazines and all the stump speakers, Tom Watson and Tillman thown in for good measure, all combined, howling so about trusts and unjust treatment of the people by the railroads and monopolies, ex hausting their vocabularies and waxing eloquent, seldom are they heard crying for fair play for all human beings.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from postoffice to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the "It is no benefit to have given me something, but it is a benefit to have enabled me to obtain something for myself."—Emerson.
