Morris last Monday evening, at his home, 225 W. Washington street, the city is deprived of a promising young man, whose premature death was and unexpected. He was only 22d years of age and had recently married Miss Alice Taylor. He was a progressive young man and had high aspirations; he had purchased a home and was a good example for many a young man. We are sorry that death, the omnipotent destroyer of youth should be so cruel. But, such is the fate of man. He leaves several sisters, two brothers, wife, mother and other relatives to mourn his loss and to look with joy estatic to a final re-gathering together.

The Club will meet at the residence of Mrs. Julia Cab bell next Wednesday night at 8 p.m. All members are reques+ ed to be present as business of importance will come up for the consideration of the members.

Fuqua of the sebond Baptist church preached Sunday at Allen Chapel in absence of Rev. Bass. Amos Boyd has returned after spending six weeks in Clarksville Tenn. Lee Orendorff, the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Burrell Starkes, met with an accident which almost proved fatal, that of burning his face almost to crisp.

Bomson The Printer 305; So. 6th St. EDITORIAL Saturday October 20 . 1906 Vote for those cand dates who appreciates your support. The ungrateful cuss is to be shuned as you would shun a vipr. Senator Tillman has come, to the conclusion that the Negroes when they find that crime, not color, endangers their life, will in turn, shoot the man who would shoot him. Its a long lane that has no turn. That Judge Murray is the logical candidate for the county judgeship to succeed himself, is a foregone conclusion. There is not that false, haughty mock artistocracy in his make-up and disposition that characterizes other candidates that we know. A Negro from what is known as the Shoestring District in Mississippi, is a candidate for Congress. They wont listen to Vardaman for all that and all that. Logan Hay should receive the solid colored vote from Morgan and Sangamon counties for state senator. He is a staunch Republican and a man of ability. We advise every person who desires a good legislator to cast a vote for Logan Hay, for State Senator Nov. 6. Thomas E. Lyon, the young Republican candidate for Probate Judge, is an honest young man, who is striving to come in the world and who is poor; he has made every inch by hard work. We commend him to the voters and ask that he be given the undivided support of all. He will make a good judge in our opinion and every man will be accorded the same courtesies. Mr. John Evans, independent candidate for the legislature from St. Clair county, was in the city a few days ago to file his papers with Secretary Rose. Mr. Evans should receive every Negro vote in that county. If you would know the reason why, we would say he is capable. We hope our people will not be frustrated and fooled. Vote for John Evans and you will be glad of it in the future. Pave the way for yourselves and your children. Will you do it? THE FORUM The Journal Vs. the Register. The Journal and the Register of this city are certainly making themselves ridiculous in the way they are conducting the campaigns of the county candidates for office this fall. Dick Sullivan must be a power if he can dictate the policy of Republicanism in this county. We are loath to give that individual credit for such extraordinary ability. The Journal makes accusations that are in turn, refuted by the Register and vice versa. You stole my marbles. I didn't You did. I didn't Thus the silly prattle goes on and on. The one fighting like fury for Jay Hall and the other fighting with equal fury for Roy Reece. Either of these candidates would fair far better without the ardent support of these great newspaper. This sort of journalism seems to be of the lemon color sort and is not the kind we desire to emulate Jay Hall is worthy. Roy Reece is worthy. It seems to be a case of bad associations on the part of both. Reece will receive the party vote as will Hall. the bosh of the Register and the Journal, notwithstanding. Predictors say the Republicans will lose the following county offices: Judge, Clerk, Treasurer and Sheriff. They claim that the Republicans are not treating the 2,000 Negro voters right—the more representative crowd is beighted. There is a tendency among the ranks of the Negro to support the other side at the polls J. A. Hall, J. B. Colby, Judge Murray, Charles Werner, Chas. Opel and other democrats are offering the Negro good inducements and consideration They recognize the colored man and seek legitimate support. We are at a loss to know why the Republicans are so indifferent and why they dodge and hide from the sources that could be the most beneficial to them. The prediction may or may not be true, but as a matter of fact, the democrats are making a fine campaign. We can only advise a man to vote for the men who treats him the best. John F. Smulski, who heads the state ticket as a candidate for State Treasurer, is making a manly, vigorous fight for that office and will surely win. Mr. Smulski demonstrated the qualities of a good campaigner two years ago as a candidate for city attorney of Chicago, which he won over his democrat opponent, being the only Republican elected. Mr. Smulski is a strict Republican, honest and faithful to any trust imposed upon him. He will make a good public official. There is one thing certain: He will receive the support of the voters of his nationality and that of the Negroes throughout the state. Justice Harlan may be the republican candidate for governor of Kentucky. He should win. The lynching having subsided let us pray that it may remian dormant. Don't mistake a colored man's place of business for a hoodlum's headquarters. The County Election.

We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign.

The demands in all parts of this country, and in several foreign countries, for well trained men of our race in 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 positions for which these trained men are wanted are those in almost every case which pay high salaries. We wish to get hold of men who have received as far as possible, a good education before coming here, and are ready to enter on a thorough course in agriculture. Persons, however, can pursue the literary studies at Tuskegee, while taking the course in agriculture. For further information address. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Princ pal, Tuskegee Intitute, Alabama.

Ice Cold Reisch Beer on Tap.. --- The Approaching Election and the Negro. In perusing the columns of the Forum, the reader will observe that this paper is advising them to vote for men on both tickets there is no need for surprise, as the casual reader is aware that from the incipiency of this paper we have always stood out for the man and not necessarily to the party to which he is affiliated. Furthermore, we are for the men who are with us and our people and the whole people; still furthermore, we have a right to be for whom we please. We have ardent friends in season and out, among all parties and when the opportunity presents itself for us to return a favor, we would be ungrateful not to do so. The candidacy of Hon. Ben. F. Cald well and Judge G. W. Murray, should receive the consideration of every voter. For Congress. Hon. Ben F. Caldwell, candidate for Congress, who has served several terms previously, is a man in whom the masses have the most unstinted confidence and for whom any man can vote for consciously. There is not a voter in this district were he to come in contact with him, but who would say he is a fine man. As a congressman he has aided more people than any other man who represented the people from this district. He is so well known that we only say this to remind any apathetic voter of the facts in the case. Hearst and the Negro. The Washington, D.C., Bee, a leading colored paper asks the colored people of New York to support Hearst instead of Hughes of the Empire State, on the grounds that Hearst's decla tions are more congenial and broader than those of Hughes, the Republican candidate for governor. You see the Negro is no longer a Republican when the other fellow offers more for his adherence, and, he is right. Coal Miners Should Remebe the "Gross Weight Bill." Mr Caldwell is the father of the "Gross Weight Bill" which has been so beneficial to coal miners; to what extent, the miners are more familiar than the writer. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. With malice toward none and charity for all, vote for Hon. Ben. F. Caldwell and aid your own interests. War on New Criminals. It is a foregone conclusion, whether not all will admit, that there are too many of our race looking for an easy time. We are friendly to our race and think we prove the fact when we voice the sentiments of all the better class of people when we advocate that every man be compelled to work or leave town. Every school age child should be forced to go to school, either day or night. We want to see our peo- --- THE FORUM ple go into business or into the professions. Our girls and young men, a part of them, put too high a premium on fine clothes and not enough stress on worth and brains. The boy or girl who works in domestic service and saves a part of his earnings, is to be commended. There is not enough aspiration for higher ideals and a nobler manhood and womanhood. You may not have an equal chance with your white school mate, but you have a superior chance to that of your fathers and mothers. Many of you have better opportunities than white members of your class. There is a decadence, it seems, among our young women and girls; we do not mean that. as a whole, there is a decadence, but the ratio or percentage appears to increase. We hope we are wrong. The worthless Negro woman and man must not be regarded as the equals of those who are trying to hold up the banner of good government and purity. We are prone to believe that there is laxity in the Negro pulpit along the lines of ethical teaching, temporal obligations are not given enough impetus. Too much stress is laid on the life after death. Hon. Ben F. Caldwell Candidate for Congress from this, the 21st Congressional district, who is the people's friend and whose support comes from parties, factions and classes, regardless, color or position. Charles E. Opel, who announces his candidacy for re-election as County Clerk, is so well known to the people of this city and county, that it is hardly op portune for us to say much about his affinity, his capability and his other good qualities. Mr. Opel is a man who extends the best official courtesies to all. As clerk, his work is manifold, as all the marriage license are issued by him which are manv. He should be retained because we know him to be worthy of the place, therefore we endorse him as a good reliable man. Announcement. JOHN L.

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 post-office 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 MOTTO: "It is no benefit to have given me something. but it is a benefit to have enabled me to obtain something for myself."—Emer son.
