from roof gardens and the beaches: that

when our systems are stronger and

no danger OF our assimilating the germs

kindly sent The BEE a marked
copy of his paper this week, con-
tanning an editorial of the vilest
character, coneemning the Ferger-
son and Williams Normal and Poly
tecnic College and its methods.
At the closing exercises a few
days ago, among other things said
was, that there was not so
much need for the colored peo-
pie co be continually appealing to
the people of the North for aid,
when there were friends of the At
ro-Americans in the South, who
conld, would, and have helped
them.
The management of the College
wanted to show that the Afro Amer
leans had enough friends among
the white people of the South who
was willing and ready to help them,
instead of continually begging from
he white people of the North.
1t is commendable on the part of

things, Col. Ross said that DIR.

LEGALLY LOCAL CITIZENSHIP.

LEGALLY LOCAL CITIZENSHIP.
The citizenship mentioned, to be
valid, must indiscriminately apply
to every state and individual citi-
zen, without regard to complexion,
race or nationality, or previous con-
dition.
If it disfranchise Afro Ameri
cans or Negroes who cannot read,
it must disfranchise Europeans or
white people who do not own prop
erty.
That is in accordance with the
4th, 18th, 14th, and 18th articles
of the Constitution of the United
States, and according to their con-
stitution and election law In each
state.
The ballot. therefore being the
weapon of defense and power, it
becomes the duty of every citizen
in the American Union to cast one
vote for the party of his choice, be
that vote republican, democratic
or populist.
According to the racial custom
of Afro-American citizens, about
eight months from now, Afro
| American delegates, from all over
this country will be coming to beg
from the President.
The 100000 of Afro-American
voters have as much right as a few
thousand politicians.
And every representative poll
tician knows, even now. what to
expect of the candidate.
Now let the more than 200 Afro
American newspapers and maga-
zines, as well as the leading poll
ticians, lawyers and business men,
the representatives Of nearly lO,-
600, 900, of Afro American citizens
in this country, review our rights
as citizens and exact his position as
a Presidential candidate, and both
inform and advise our race whom
to support.
Let them exact this both of Mai.
Mckinley and Hon. W. j. Bryan
and subordinate party politics to
the rights of our racial claims.
Neither party Can spare 1000, 900
nor one half of that number.
Since the administration can
protect white men and strangers in
the South, it can protect Afro
Americans.
