AN OLD BLACK MAMMY. ‘Phe Atlanta Constitution thus men- tions a funeral procession which re- cently passed through the streets of Milledgeville, Ga. ‘The procession was headed by Rev. D. W. ramen, pastor of the Presby- terlin chure of that elty; then the hearse containing ail that was mortal Jot Aunt Mary Marlow, an old Negro wowan, who for nearly ninety years, had been known in that community. ‘And the pallbearers of this old: woman, walking by the hearse, were six young White meu, sons of the leading families of that community. Aunt Mary Marlow belonged to the ‘class of women who, according to tomdixon ‘don't know what virtue is!” Hut Tt seems that ‘Tom has never informed the citizens of Milledgeville of his discovery, or that they consid ered: It too nonsensical to receive any attention, ‘THE APPEAL can not help thinking that if such a brilliant wom- jan as Mrs. Terrell or some Afro-Amer- fean woman of education and refine- ment had died in Milledgeville, the Presbyterian pastor and the six young sons of the leading fumilies would not nave taken such conspietious. parts in the procession. What recommended “Aunt Mary Marlow" was the fact that ‘she was entirely Hliterate and trained by Tong years of servitude to have no ‘other aspiration than to serve, as a Southern writer said of another, black mammng, with “dog-like fidelity”. In- telligence In an Afro-American is. an ‘Gftensie'to the South. FOOL KILLER MISSED HIM. ‘A correspondent of the Richmond ‘Times-Dispatch communicates to that Journal some original views respecting the labor situation down South. He says: “The main reason,” he says, “for the scarcity of labor is that land is continually sold or rented to the very class upon whom we depend for laborers. Were not this the case the negroes would have to labor for others ‘for their Tiving. And as to the matter of animus, I hasten to say that, In my judgment, the natural laborer of the South, the negro, is not improved in his Jown condition by either buying or rent. jing land. He only becomes a peasant [farmer of a very low type, of little use to himself or the country.” ‘With great consistency, this writer objects to the small farm system, in toto. He longs for “de ole plantation” and desires no small farmers from the North, Italy or anywhere else. And there is not a particle of doubt of bis expressing the real sentiment of the majority of the planters of the South. But he fails to see that the condition of things for which he longs is absolute. ly unattainable, that the time for such ‘a condition has long gone.by. Anyone jwith a grain of sense can ste that his idea that the condition of a farm labor. ler 1s not improved by bis buying or renting Ignd is grotesquely absurd, and probably no one knows that fact better than the writer. A ‘volume ‘bas’ been published from the pen of Mr. John Phin on “The Seven Follies of Science.” ‘These sald seven follies Inchide squaring the lt cle, perpetual motion, duplication of the cube, trisection of un angle, al chemy, Sxation of mercury, and’ the clixir ef lite; they are the’ follies of [people who persist in attempting to do the. Impossible.—London Telegraph. ‘Mr. Phin's book must be a curiosity. if it contains as many false impllea- tious as the foregoing short paragraph. "To say that squaring the circle is Im: possible is just as absurd as to say that reducing one-third to x decimal Is Impossible. "The duplication of the ‘ube and the triseetion of an angle are ‘substantially, the same problem and ‘the problem’ was solved hundreds of ears ago by Diocles and Nicomedes, ‘and thelr solutions. will be found tn Olnes's Caleulus. ‘The difficulty in this ease was that the problems could not he solved by Elementary Geometry ; not that they were hnpossible, ‘THE OLD. OLD PROJECT. je et ne OUNaTn Yapets Ste very indignant because Representative Keifer has arisen to revive “the old, fold project, to punish the South.” It happens to be the case that the “old, old project” is a provision of the ‘Constitution of the United States, which Mr. Keifor is sworn to support, and as he is somewhat of an old fashioned ‘man, he may not think that it is his privilege to support one part and 1g: ‘ore another. Mathematicians speak of the sin gularities of a curve; and, adopting thelr language, we may conjecture that it is one of Mr. Kelfer’s singularities to Imagine that he is sworn to support the whole Constitution, old projects fand ali 5 Of course the whole thing will come to nothing; in order to keep company with about all of our law, morality and religion.

In its decision in the Caleb Powers case the Supreme Court remarks as follows: “It fs truo that, looking alone at the case, as made by the petition for re- moval, the trials of the accused make ‘an exhibition of misconduct on the part ‘of administrative officers connected with those trials which may well shock all who love Justice and recognize the right of every human being accused of ferlme be tried according to law." ‘The foregoing is, perhaps the most Severe rebuke ever administered by the Supreme Court to a lotvof state officials and there ts no question to its being well deserved. But Kentucky will probably contend that her officials are no more lawless. than those in other states and strut around as big a8 over, ‘The following ts from the Star: “If the negroes were allowed to vote ‘Tennessee would be a republican state but that will never be. “ The white re publicans of east ‘Tennessee have about 35,000 majority. Middle Tennessee gives about 40,000 democratic majority and west Tennessee, with its immense colored population, gives about 19,001 democratic majority, whereas it js eas fly 10,000 republican if the negro were allowed to vote and have his vote counted. ‘THE APPEAL is not prepared to.ad mit that “that will never be.” It fi easily concelvable that the cholee of President, or the complexion of con gress may turn upon the vote of ‘Tenn esse. Should such ever be the case it Is not easy to see what might be the consequences. ‘The Afvo-American Ledger advances the following argument: “AS soon as the Afro-Americans of any town own a majority of the wealth of that town discriminations of a kinds ngainst that race will cease be: cause they will compel It to cease, by the fact that the race will not dis: criminate against itself and no law: making body In the world can compel any min to discriminate against his own Interests.” ‘The Afro-Americans of Mound Bay: ou, Mississippi, own ninety per cent of the wealth of that: town, but thit does not exenipt them from the opera- tion of the Jim Crow laws and grand: father clauses of the state. ‘The Jews fare the financiers of Burope but that fact does not exempt them from the Jim Crow Inws of Russia “and other Buropean countries. ‘The Chinese embassador to the Unit: ed States, Baron Hayashi, embassador to Great Britain from Japan and Gen. Corbin, all concur in attributing the Chinese prejudice against. foreigners to the conduct of the American mils: slonaries, more than to anything else. ‘The excellent personages seem to have a zeal for God, but not according to Knowledge. Moreover, they are abund- antly supplied with the American col- lorprejudice: and, in consequence, show it in all their Intercourse with the colestials, What the Chinaman regards a8 sacred, they treat with contempt.

Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of Albany. Extended preparations have been made to show to visitors what the School has accomplished during the iwentty-five years of its existence. The school was started twenty-five years ago in an abandoned church and @ hen house. These buildings have long since disappeared but there still remain photographs of these buildings and from these photographs and from ‘the memory of those teachers on the ground who still remember the early days of the school replicas of these buildings have been constructed. The church has been turned, for the pur- pose of the celebration, ‘into an exhi: bition building. In this bullding has been crowded @ vast-amount of infor mation about the school, about. the people and about the larger schools which have been establishd or conduct ed by Tuskegee students. Six industrial schools established in different parts of the South made ex hibitions of their work. The first o} these was The ‘Topeka Industrial In stitute, of Topeka, Kansas, This school was started by William R. Car ter, who graduated from Tuskegee {1 1883. ‘The school was not started unt some years after. Among the other exhibits of the school fs the -work 0 class in tailoring. This is the onls School where tailoring is done. ‘The. Vorhees Industrial School, Denmark, 8. C., was founded in i897 by Miss Lizzie 1, Wright, who gradu ated. in 1894. ‘This schdol has now something like 300 students. Its ex hibit included examples of work in millinery, mattress making, carpentry Jaundering, cooking and plain sewing ‘Two other schools, Hawkinsville In stitute, of Hawkinsville, Ala., foundee by W. D. Floyd, a graduate’ of 1887 and the Port’ Royal Agricultural School of Beaufort, 8. C., of which Joseph Shanklin is principal, and whe graduated in 1901, made exhibits o! Poultry and plain sewing respectively ‘The most interesting exhibit was perhaps, that of the Robert Hunger ford Normal and Industrial School, a Eatonville, Fla. This school was’ es tablished "by Russel Calhoun, wh¢ graduated in 1896, ‘The school was started, In February, 1899. Among the interesting articles exhibited was @ box of grape fruit, mandarins anc oranges. Also a number of examples of fine needie-work and among othe: things a petticoat, made very. neatls and prettily, of the legs of old stock ings. ‘This School exhibited also some interesting examples of basket. work baskets made of Raffia and of pin needles. ‘The interesting thing abou! the work was the many devices whict the school had employed to make us of the material that it found at hand the reeds in the swamps, the lons grasses and the pine needles. ‘The largest ‘school established ‘bs ‘Tuskegee graduates is that by W. J Edwards, at Snow Hill, Ala. Mr. Ed- wards graduated in 1899, He started the school in 1894 in the village where he was born. ‘The total enrollment at Snow Hill this year has been 320. ‘The school employs 22 teachers, and teaches 13 industries. In addition. to the 824 acres of land the school has 14 buildings and property valued at about $43,000. Its exhibit included lexamples of plain sewing, dressmaking. millinery, carpentry. printing, launder. ing and ‘blacksmithing, Another Interesting exhibit is that which has been set up in the Histori- cal Room of the Carnegie Library, set Apart for the preservation of relies Mustrating the history and. growth of ‘the school. Among the objects in this exhibi- tion is “a collection of photographs taken at the time of President Me- Kinley's visit to Tuskegee December 16, 1898; another collection taken at the time of President Roosevelt's visit, October 24, 1905; thirty-one es Says written by ‘the first students at the school; the first wagon made by © otudent: ‘at ‘Tuskogeo;a pine -kenot such as the students used to burn to jstudy by in the early days; the first desk made on the grounds and used by Mr. Washington for many years in his office; together with a number of other articles of similar character. One of the most interesting exhib- its which the anniversary celebration has called out is that of John Rob- inson, who went out to Torgo, German West Africa, six years ago to teach the.natives cotton growing. He came back this year to visit his old home and attend the Tuskegee celebration. He brought back with him some very interesting examples of the manufae- tures of the native people, ‘The Exhibit on Africa, which was recently presented to the Tuskegee Historical Room by Mr. J. W. Robin: son, @ graduate of Tuskegee, in the class of ‘97 and who has been employed for six years by the German Govern: ment in the cultivation of cotton in Togo, Africa, Includes articles made by the people of Togo, of Dahomey. by the Yorubas, Hausas and a coast tribe whose locai name is Ewe. Many of the fabrics are very beautiful. The carvings, the work in leather, partic- ularly that of the Hausas people, show that the importation of European made Boods has not yet destroyed native arts and crafts. ‘It indicates also, that these people have a much higher order of skill than is usually attributed to them. ‘The most elaborate exhibit prepar- ed to commemorate the school’s an- niversary 1s a serles of charts which have been placed upon the wall of the “little chapel.” ‘There are two series of these charts: one exhibits the sal- fent facts in regard to the develop- ment of Tuskegee, and the other is concerned with Afro-Americans, show- ing their progress since emanelpation. One of these charts shows the occu: pations of the heads of households from which Tuskegee students come. It appears from this chart that. the heads of families are very largely farmers who own some part of the Jand they till. It is in fact from the Continued 6n Fourth Page. TUSKEGEE.

New York, April 12, 1906, ‘Tuskegee Institute is a notable achievement. If the organizing and ad- ministrative skfil displayed there is contrasted with the lack of all such power found among the Negroes of Africa, one appreciates that the Afro- American has already gained by con- tact with the white man. That this skill has been shown in the construc- tive work of Education is signitacant for it shows that the Afro- American is animated by the ambition to do better yet. That it has taken the form of in- dustrial education is equally striking, for this shows, that, to the Afro-Amev- ican, work., which formerly meant servitude now spells progress, Seth Low, HON. T. W. JONES. Ex-County Commissioner, Chicago, III. Chicago, April, 1, 1906. In connection with the 25th anniver. sary of the Tuskegee Institute, permit ine to observe that for long years after Booker T, Washington had established the institution, Industrial Education was in much distavor by pulpit and press: was widely discussed in_max azine articles and adversely criticised by many prominent educators. But the day of stress and strain for the new system has passed—it no longer provokes widespfead hostility from any source, The statement has been repeatedly made and never de- nied, that the Tuskegee Institute for Negtoos is the largest of its kind; Where more things are taught and Better taught than in any other In- stitution In the world, Theodore W. Jones. HON. J. C. NAPIER ville, Tenn, Nashville, Tenn..April, 1, 1906. When the proper estimate shall have been placed upon industrial education, when the work of this school shall have had time to take root and bear its frult, it will be conceded by us all that the Negro’s real emancipation had its beginning when Booker 'T. Wash- ington founded ‘Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. For no people can ever be free unless there is instilled in them a spirit of manhood, a feeling of independence and a consciousness of solf-reliance that will animate and in- spire them not only to face all the re- sponsibilities and duties of life but to shoulder them, to take hold of them and make the most out of existing conditions whatever they may be. When the real relations of industrial and higher education are properly un- derstood and looked at from a practical and not from a theoretical view point every opposition to Tuskegee’s_ meth: oris will cease; and where there is now so much friction and war peace and tranquility will reign and all will be united in the effort to promote the same end, J.C, Napier.

When Dr. Washington began’ work in the Black Belt of Alabama, twenty- five years ago, and put into practice the theory of ‘industrial education at the Tuskegee Institute, the theozy was not acceptable to the Afro-Americans or the Angio-Americans of the South- ern States, and was not in general practice in the other States of the Republic. Now the theory is accept- eq in all of the States as a vital part of educatiom and has beeome a part of the educational system of the coun- try. Dr. Washington has done more than any other man in the country to accomplish this revolution. ‘The value of a theory can only be shown by. the demonstrated practicability of ft. ‘Tus Kegee Institute has furnished this demonstration through the genius -of Booker 'T. Washington. Yours truly, T, Thomas Fortune. KELLY MILLER, Professor of Mathematics, Howard University. Washington, D. C., Apr. 2, 1906. Replying to your request for a word touching Tuskegee Institute, 1 would say that U glory in the success which ‘has come to this important and strik- ing educational agency during the past twenty-five years, and trust that the present celebration may add to its eff. eieney and power for good, 1 will re- peat here what I have said elsewhere: Poe aR ES SRY oe moo NTE MSGR TG SL ag Rae a a Open for Business as Usual Notwithstanding any rumors you may have heard tothe contrary. It’s “off with the old” and “on with the new’—the NEWEST of the new at that, bought within the last few weeks, when _ the real styles for spring and summer were properly defined, and not months ago when it was problematical what would be the proper things. Another strong point—the season for manufacturers and importers is practically over, and if we know our business and we think we do, buying for spot cash we are today in a position to create a commo- tion in Twin City merchandising which we will certainly de. Our stocks are by no means complete as yet, but every day—almost every hour—and nearly every train arriving adds something todelight theeye and please the purse of discriminating buyers. A daily visit will be ~ advisable for the next few weeks if you want the very newest and hest for the least money. J. G. LUND. J. F.
