This College is doing great work
at Abbeville, S. a., and the white
citizens of that place and the Ban
ner, the leading democir iratlc paper,
have rendered great aid to this C,l-
lege and the Afro-Americans OF Alb
beville.
Among the good people and the
trustees who have supported, and
are supporting this College are Rev.
J. Lowrie Wilson, d. D., Rev. S.
L. Wilson, Mr.. j. Allen Smith, a
banker, and one of the leading con-
tributors to this Afro-American
College Mr.. Amos Moore, lead
ing merchant l.. W. Perrin, Esq,
one of the most brilliant members
of the bar Mr.. j. R. Blake, Jr.,
County Treasurer, man OF the
highest integrity. These are a few
of the good people Of Abbevllle,
who are helping the Afro-Ameri-
cans in the South.
This man johnson has endeav-
ored to create disturbance ever since
he has been editor and secretly poi
soning the colored people against
the best white peope of Abbeville,
who are their friends.
johnson tells the colored people
that there is no prejudice North.
The BEE takes this opportunity OF
informing the colored people OF
Abbeville, that there is as much
prejudice North as there is any
where else.
johnson declared some time ago
that the white people of Abbeville
were mean, prejudiced, and un
grateful and for the benefit of the
people of the North, The BEE, in
this article denies the charge and
asserts If the people of the North
were as grateful to Afro-Americans
as the white people of the South
are, and especially in Abbeville,
there would be no cause to COM
plain.
johnson is also of the opinion
that the white ladies of Abbeville
would marry Afro Americans, were
it not for the laws of the State.
This kind of teaching to the Afro
Americans of Abbeville, does more
harm than good.
The peop e are to be congratu-
la:ed upon their improvement and
advancement, and the day is fast
approaching when the Afro-Ameri-
cans will look to the South for Lro-
lection.
johnson is a disturber of the
peace.

The BEE.

The people of Ibis country as
sert that The BEE is the best At
ro-American journal in the coun-
try and when you want to find
where it stands on all questions,
you know where to find it.
The BEE has the largest circula-
tion of any Afro-Ameriean journal
in this country and the merchants
who advertise in it's columns testi-
fly to that.

CITIZENS MEET AND CONDEMN
RANDOLPH's LYNCHERS.
There was large and enthusias
tic meeting of citizens held at the
I'd Baptist Church on last Thurs
day night for the purpose of taking
steps towar the apprehending of
the lynchers of Sydney Randolph.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Stewart M. Lewis, chair
man of the Committee of arrange
| ments who announced Hon. j. W.
Langston as the presiding officer.
Prof Langton in his usual eloquent
mode stated the object of the meet
ing and called for the election of a
secretary, W. Calvin Chase, editor
of The BEE, was unanimously
elected on motion of Mr.. Lewis and
Col. Z. Ii. Carson, vice president
on motion of Mr.. L. Peterson.
The chair appainted the follow
ing committees On resolution,
Rev. W. B. Johnson, Stewart N
Lewis and T. l.. Jones.
Committee to cooperate with the
Governor of Maryland, L. l..
Jones, Rev. j. Anderson Taylor
and G.. w. Halter.
Committee to cooperate with the
detectives: J. M johnson, Isiah
Lewis and Edward Brockenburgh.
Committee on finance: Il. L..

On motion of W. Calvin Chase, a
vote of thanks was rendered to
Messrs. Weeden and Hurr.

COL. M. M. PARKER Sc
LECTED.

The appointment of Col. M. M
Parker on the National Republican
Committee, gives to the District Of
Colum ola man of influence and
dignity, and man who has always
been popular in the councils of the
Republican party.
The protest that was filed with
the Executive Committee of the
National Committee, by the oppo-
sition District Republicans, had no
effect on Mr.. Hanna and other
members of the Committee. The
BEE said in the issue soon after the
adjournment of the National Re-
publican Convention that Col. A.
L. Britton or Col. M. NJ. Parker
would be selected.
Certain so-called knowing Dis
trict Republicans laughed at the
prediction of The BEE and declared
neither one mentioned by The BEE
would be selected. This paper then
said it had no fight to make against
Col, NJ. NJ. Parker as the opposition
to him before was on account of the
alliance he had made with men who
had been misrepresented to him.
The BEE heartily indorses the
selection of Col. Parker and sim
,erely hopes that he will suggest
he organization of a representative
Republican party.

VIM. MCKINLEY, JR.

There is but very little differ
ence between men taking them
as raw material, but there is great
deal of difference between the raw
material and the finished article.
The one is often the result of spon-
taneous growth while the latter is
always the product of experience.
intelligent effort and acknowledged
usefulness. This contrast may be
very properly applied to the two
presidential candidates who are
before the American people. The
republican nominee, Mr.. Mckinley,
is acknowledged even by his most
bitter enemies to be man OF more
than ordinary genius, whose moral
and intellectual. .worth added to his
ardent patriotism and unadulter-
ated Americanism have elected the
admiration of all the people. His
career as legislator was marked by
consistent adhearence to the prin-
ciples of republicanlsm, from which
he was never swayed by personal or
other considerations. Upon every
subject of Importance which has
arisen within the last thirty years,
| Mr.. Mckinley has expressed him
self with vigor and manliness, in
which he always displayed wisdom
| quite out of proportion to his years.
He was sound upon Reconstruction
and did much to emphasize the
good motives and purposes of the
party toward the recently emanci-
pated. He has placed himself on
record as opposed to Southern out
RACES against law-abiding colored
| republicans condemned in public
utterances the un-American prac-
tice of denying to voters the right of
free and untrammelled expression;
! characterized Lynch law, as a man.
Hesitation of brutality and dis
respect for law and order which
would disgrace the best civilized
people on the face of the globe, and
while governor of Ohio, was instrE-
mental in rendering such horrid
forms of lawlessness almost i'm.
possible.
Mr.. Mckinley is an American
for America. Headvocates recipro-
city upon terms consistent with the
growing demands of American gov
ernments believes that foreigners
should be made to pay for the priv
ilege of competing in our market
with our own producers and insists
upon such tariff regulations as will
give our infant and undeveloped
industries fair chance in American
markets in particular and the mar
kets of the world in general. In
fact Major Mckinley is the repre-
sentative of the patriotic progres
sive American sentiment of the
people.

CANNOT AGREE.

Afro-American women are like
men. They cannot agree. Two
seperate conventions have met in
this city and both are for the same
purpose. 1t looks like it was a
question of leadership. Women
like men, are ambitious for fame
and notoriety. The best way to
improve the condition of our wo-
men is to talk less and do more.

l.
and undenial fixture of human
government, is profoundly OF
that Divine arrangement that is
bothinevitable and irresistible.
II is that attribute of the natural
order of things that any attempt at
a severance would give them a
greater and more permanent rela-
tionship.
1t is Divinely originated, sus-
tanned and operated, and the only
human improvement realized is a
arrangement of Divine order OF
things.
It has several elements and CO.
relationships that however dis
tinctively they are discussed, they
are inseparably related.
We have 1st Divine citizenship
that is indisputably inevitable.
2nd we have native relationship,
productive of birth-rights.
3rd we have national relation
ship, constitutionslly inherited and
irrevokably acknowledged by all
narties races and nations,
And 4th we have legally local
citizenship, that correlated, CO.
equal, and co-existing.
1t is not the gracious gift of
white philanthropist, ror the theft
of a black theft but it is that part
of his Jehovistic creation that is
like burning straw bed of fire,
where the least whipping will pro-
duce the greatest spread.
Two hundred and seventy-six
years test since 1920 to prove our
pnfitness for citizenship through
personal and racial prosecutions,
have but convinced the world of
our greatest capacity for the best Of
citizenship and Christian civilza-
tion.
Even if there were such thing as
racial destruction in the face of a
Divine creation, it could not now
be done by the present generation
of white people in America be-
cause the extensive amalgamation
through voluntary adultery would
necess. tate the destruction of many
of their own children, brothers and
sisters, wives and husbands, yes,
and even fathers and mothers,
from being too white to be dis
counted that they are Afro -Ameri-
sans.
1st, the Divine or highest citi-
zenship in all ages, generations and
Civilizations, are those founded by
the Almighty as are declared in the
Acts of the Apostles 1874 to 27th
verse. No improvement or revision
can be made with these but obedi-
enee.
TIE nationality of an individual
is the indemnity IF all unforfeited
nas~Io, claims.
The version of native citizenship
g:vcs double security to the perma-
nancy of both local and national
citizenship and especially Afro
Americans where the docility of |
heir racial status make them in
capable of a forfeiture.
The long standing test of their
manly and wOmanly stability and
the irresistible proof of their real |
ity and capacability destroy all T
basis of national and international
to us as national factor.
We are constitutionslly recog-
1ized, which gives us the fullest
benefits of co-equal citizenship ever

The Cars Method Of Smoothing Over
the Moscow Disaster.
Berlin, June 24.-The czar has ordered
that the inquiry into the causes that led
TO the terrible disaster on the Hodynsky
Plain during the coronation fetes at
Moscow. when upward OF 25oo persons
were crushed or trampled to death. be
dropped, for the reason that a number
OF exalted personages have been shown
10 be implicated. The disaster Will
therefore be ascribed to an act OF God.
Ii has been charged that the catastrophe
on the Hodynsky Plain was due TO the
thievish propensities of Russian ofn-
cials. The car had provided for great
free popular feast on the plain. and
very large sum of money was set aside
for the purchase of essentials.
1t has been said that much OF this
money was misappropriated by the off-
cials who had charge Of IL. and that In
order b hide their stealing they began
the distribution of food on Inc plain long
before the time set, so that they might
be able TO say later, when the larger
part of the crowd was expected, that
they had given away great quantities
of gifts earlier in the day. When the
distribution commenced there was a
rush for the booths, which resulted In
panic and the consequent killing OF an
Immense number of people.
