Tho movement which has been started in this
city in behalf of the people OF Russia who are
threatened with starvation must be regarded with
profound satisfaction by all right-thlnking peo-
pie. 1t has been started in businesslike and
promising way. The Chamber of Commerce is
our most important and influential commercial
body, and the committee appointed by it com
prise, some of the best-known men in the
metropolis, 1t is right that the work Of Sccur-
ing money for the relief of the starving Russians
should be- instituted here on a scale worthy OF
this great Nation and of its chief city. Russia
is so remote from us, not only geographically,
but in all its ideas and institutions, that we are
sometimes inclined to look upon it as hardly
belonging to the same world as ourselves. But
one touch of nature makes all nations kim and

az INTERESTING NFGRo CONFERENCE


A conference in the interest Of the Southern
negro is to be held AZ Tuskcgec Ala, during
the latter part Of this month. The arrangements
for the conference are in the hands o, the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; and
the aim is a, we learn from the circular which
has been issued. "to bring together for a quiet
conference. not thc politicians and those usually
termed the leading cOlolcd people, but repre-
scntativcS Of tho Masses the bone and SIncW 81
the race, the common Woodworking farmers
with few Of the best ministers and tolchcls.>
The conference will address itself chiefly TO two
question. first the actual industrial. mora and
educational condition Of the misses of the negroes,
more especially those Of the :" black belt" and
second how can the educated negroes most eff
fectiycly uSc their talents and requirements for
the benefit of the less fortunate members Of
their race.
Such a conference. in case those who direct
il are persons Of good common-scn>c with pro-
nounccd taste for wholesome practical results
rather than for theories however fine can scarce
ly fail to be very useful. 1t is evident that
these black belt negroes arc in "A bad way, that

According to the testimony Of those most
competent to speak, the two great curses of the
black belt negroes are the one-roOm cabin and
the credit system. So said General Armstrong,
of Hampton Institute, and President Woodwork,
of the Tongaloo CMisS) University, At the Mo-
hcnl Negro Conference of 1890. 1t needs no
argument to prove that the one-room cabin in

Tree Planting Suggestions.

The following suggestions are giver
for the benefit of school authorities who
intend to plant trees on Arbor day, on
the 5th of next month, also fer other
persons who may wish to follow them:
Do not place trees too near houses.
Do not plant them too near together.
Root spreading trees should be avoid
ed.
Trees that bud early in the spring are
best.
A good tree for planting has an
abundance of fbrous roots.
Trees with turnip-like roots are not
easily transplgnted.
Trees from forests are transplanted
with difficulty, likewise trees that have
grown in the shade.
A healthy tree from poor soil trans
plants best.
Do not allow roots to become dry.
Dig holes before the trees are brought.
Make holes large enough.
In filling use the rich soil at the bot
tom.
Do not put stones or manare in the
bottom of the hole.
Use no water while setting TIE tree
If the soil is very dry, use little
water after the tree is planted.
Place hay, straw, wood shavings or
sawdust AROUND the foot of the tree af-
ter planting, to check evaporation.
Transplanting on a damp or fog
gy day succeeds best.
Keep weeds and grass from the soil
just around the trees, as they prevent
rain and air from penetrating to the
roots.
Trim the branches in proportion to the
roots destroyed.
AS q rule more trees should be plant
ed then will be needed when full sized.
Avenue trees should be set from fifteen
to twenty feet apart.
TIE soil should be packed firmly, not
tightly around the roots.
Soil should be raked whenever il
