THE CONFERENCE OF LEADING
COLORED MEN.

A conference Of leading colored men
has been called to assemble in Nash
vile, Tennessee, on the 9th Of May,
prox. The object of the proposed
meeting SO far as we understand, 1--WE
have not seen the calD is to take into
consideration the general welfare of
the colored people of the country. The
body is to be composed of such per-
sons as the managers may invite to
take part in its daliberation, and it is
thong gbt that, in this way a more iutel-
ligent body can be constituted than by
the ordinary means of primary meet>
ings aud Conventions.
If there IS any way by which such a
conference can incite our people to
more earnest efforts in the great work
of bettering their condition, mentally.
morally, and materially, by all means
let it be held.

LETTER OF REV. 4. IL. WILEY.
The Negro k-,obIem Solved.


Your special attention is directed TO
the letter of Rev. C. IL. Wiley, to be
found on the first page. 1t is hoped
that our white friends especially will
give it that careful consideration W lich
it, in such an eminent degree, deserves
1t contains the sentiments of Chris
tan gentleman who was, for twelve
different terms, elected Superintendent
OF Public Schools in this State-senti-
ments which may yet bring peace out
of confusion. If its prophetic warn
ings had been needed when it was first
published in 1865, who, after reading
it, will doubt but what "The Negro
Problem" would have long since been
solved? Or but what his, is the only
solution of this perplexing question.
Note bis lire of argument.
1t is not based upon the unfixed Pc
destal of theory, nor upon sickly senti.
meDtalism; but it is fouaGed upon
Justice ard broad philanthropy, which
does credit to both his head and his
heart, and commends itself to all who
have the least interesg in our elevation
Oh! for more such philosophic, pat.
riotic and persuasive expressions Of
opinion We again direct your atten-
tiOn to it.

TO OUR MINISTER'S.

We send the present number of our
paper and shall send subsequent num-
bers to our ministers throughout the
State and country. We hope to secure
their valuable aid in making the North
Carolina Industrial Association, and
the object it has in view, just such a
success and benefit to the race as it
should be. They can do much by call
ing the attention of the people in their
respective communities to the Exposi-
ton, and encouraging them to take an
active interest in it.

An EXODUS.

The exodus fever seems to have gots
ten a strong hold upon our people
in the more extreme Southern States,
prominent among which isLouisiana. 1t
has assumed alarming proportions
within the past few weeks and from
present indications, the gulf state es-
pecially, will soon be depopulated, SO
far as the colored people are ooucern-
ed. They are leaving, with hope of
bettering their condition by going to
Kansas. They are going by the hum
dreds and 1t is asserted that the move
ment is seriously affecting the agri'
cultural, mercantile and political status
of that portion of the country, Thus
it eau be seen, that poor though we be,
we are an important factor when the
productive wealth and political power
Of the South is called into question.
Now that these elements of great
ness may be encouraged TO stay within
the borders Of the Old North State, let
us put premium on labor.

our ADVERTISERS. 4

We take pleasure IN directing special
attention to the advertisements which
appear in this issue. Our patrons are
among the most energetic and reliable
business men OF the State, and our
readers will find it to their advantage
to give them call when anything in
their line is needed, before purchasing
elsewhere. Our pap3r will furnish a
most excellent medium fer advertisers.
and the splendid array of "ads" which
we present to-day shows that our busi>
ness men are alive to their interest. -
We solicit the patronage of the business
public here and elsewhere.

ENCOURAGING WORDS.

The first exposition of the N. G. In
dustrial Association will be complete
success, judging from the general ex>
preston of approval which comes from
all sections of the State. The noble
hearted women of the race are taking
hold, which, of itself, is sufficient to
warrant the highest expectation. The
prospect is, in all respects, propitious
aud promises full realization of our
best wishes.

POSSESS Your Souls IN PATIENCE.

POSSESS Your Souls IN PATIENCE.
We hope our friends will pardon us
for the dearth Of local matter, and
those of our patrons will possess their
souls in patience, whose advertisements
fail to appear iu this issue, in cOnse-
quence of their being too late. When
we began to make up the form we
found that we had reached far beyond
our calculation and most sanguine ex-
pectatlOns, so far as our "ads' are
concerned, which precludes much valu-
able matter that would have otherwise
appeared. We will do better next
time.

A Word About Reading.

AS general thing we are not as care
ful about our reading and that of our
children as we should be. Our sons
and daughters are reading trashy liter
ature, and some OF them obscene books
and pamphlets, and a great many pa
rents manifest no concern about it
whatever. Many of the newspapers
that flood the country are Just as cor
rupting as obscene books. Be careful
as to the nature of the reading mat
tor that enters your household.

INDIVIDUAL EXEETIONS.

There is nothing like individual ex-
ertion. 1t is the hope of any people.
If We wish to rise we must not only
make general efforts, but above all
things we must put forth individual
efforts. Upon what we do as individu-
ais depen 1s our success as nation.
Therefore We hope our friends will
encourage us in this attempt to put a
premium on individual exertions.

The above suggestion from valued
correspondent we think most oppor-

just such Musical Concart as is men,
toned in his letter. We can boast a
high order of musical talent among
our people. Talent that would com-
pare creditably with that of any race.
Naturally melodious, agrand combina~
tion concert of vocal and instrumental
music would afford one of the most
attractive and pleasant entertainments
ever given by our people in this country.
The Executive Committee has taken
steps in the direction suggested by our

who may take an interest in this
