NOW IS YOUR TIME!

The classes under the atheletic de-
partment of the Y. NJ. e. A. have been
organized at the "Gym," 1907 nth
street northwest, and are in full opera
ton.
The adult male class under its Splen-
did instructor meets on Wednesday at
O'Clock and on Saturday at O'Clock
D. m. All the boys are more than en-
thusiastic over the instructions re-
ceived
The adult female class under Miss A.
I. Turner, the efficient instructress Of
last year, meets every Tuesday at 80
p. m. and every Saturday at II O'Clock
a. m.
The girls class (children) meets every
Wednesday at a p. m. and every Sat
urday at g. 80 a. m.
The boys class (children) is not or
ganized, as a sufficient number of ap-
plicants have not come forward to JUS
tify starting it.
The terms are positively nothing in
the balance with the benefits derived,
a lesson costing young man only the
price of a glass of beer or package
of cheap cigarettes, and lady the
price of car ticket, for the best in
struction to be had for love or money.
The lasses should be crowded TO the
doors. If you Know what is good for
you, you will lose no time in getting
there.

OPPOSED TO HIS OWN COLOR,

Mr.. s. G.. Thompson who has
opened first-class dining parlor al
1910 NJ street, northwest is having
rouble with his landlord, Mr.. Is
edwards, who has rented the upper
portion of the house out to white peo-
pie. The house is built in fats and
the lower part IS rented by MIR. Ihomp-
son. who serves respectable people oi
all classes and nationalitIeS. Mr.. Ed
wards inf rmed Mr.. Thompson few
days ago that he didn't want negroes
served in his dining room; IN fact his
place was too good for colored people,
Mr.. Thompson go highly insultrd and
informed Mr.. Edwards that he wo Id
serve any respectable person for his
money. To this NJ. Edwards took
exceptions and threatened to eject
him
The white people in the house asked
Mr.. Thompson could they have Sepa-
rate apartments. MIR. Thompson in
formed them that he made no dlstlnc-
ton.
A few days ago while the white
folks were seated at the table, two dis
tlnguiShed colored citizens walked in
his dining room and were politely
seated at the table with Edwards faS-
tidiouS white tenants; who seem TO
think the most refined Afro-American
lady and gentleman are too distasteful
to them
Mr. Thompson has two years lease
on the premises and there is nothing
in it that says that he shall not serve
colore people, and the only way MIR.
Edwards can eject MIR. Thompson
is for that gentleman to violate am Of
its covenants, which Mr.. Thompson
will not do. He is a young man and
a highly educated and polished gen.
tleman, who intends to continue to
serve his people aud fight this matter
to its end, Mr.. Edwards and his white
tenants to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Hon. John NJ. Langston and w.
Calvin Chase have been retained to
defend a suit of ejectment that MIR.
Edwards threatens to institute.

In Columbia county last week the
Populists in macs meeting, requested
the Ordinary to give the Democrats
a manager and clerk of their own

Last Wednesday night when Co.
W. L. Peek was speaking at Palmet-
to, Campbell county, two or three
young men continued to interrupt
the speaker.
They were repeatedly warned to
desist, but repeatedly kept up their
ruffianly tactics until the chairman of
the meeting and one or two others
seized the leader of the gang and
tossed him headlong through the
window.
The balance of the gang fed pre-
cipita!ely through doors and Windows
in utter dismay and thu meeting pro-
ceeded without further interruption.

those &so need friends, born soldier

It Watson ever did dishoDorable
act it is not recorded. Ii he ever
slighted a friend the records are
silent. Ii he ever lowered his ,iors
ia the face of an enemy the herslds
never proclaimed it. Mr.. Watson is
a small man but he is all man from
The ground up. Nothing small about
Watson but his stature. Tho charao

look like a mustard seed beside a
mountain when compared to Watson.
The pretended politioal reformer and
moral teacher is, in nine cases out

all reforms that are right. His voice
is heard in sanction of any measure
that is jast. Watson is a modern

the frequency and manner of allu.
sions by the newspapers of our CITY
that are opposed to Hon. Seab.

women of Augusta at the time of his
address, ware the means OF creating
considerable disrelish among that
fraternity.

is This Democracy To-Day?

Here Is an old plank from the
Democratic platform of 1856:
"That congress- has no power to
charter q national bank; that we be-
lieve such an institution one Of dead
ly hostility to the best interests of
this country, dangerous to our re-
publican institutions and the liber-
ties OF the people, and calculated to
place the business Of the country
within the control of concentrated
money power and above the laws
and will of the people,"
That declaration applies with al
most equal force against the present
national banking system, which,
through close association of the
banks and corporation in their ao-
tiops, is creating concentrated
money power which undertakes to
order that legislation shall be as il
desires, or it will precipitate panics
at will and ruin thousands of our
business men, Brockton Diamond.

SEWALL OF MAINE.
Something About the Democratic
Candidate for Vice President.

Something About the Democratic
Candidate for Vice President.
Prof. L G. Bateman, Peoples
party candidate for Governor OF
Maine, under date OF August 21st,
writes Texas friend as follows:
ain answer to your questions In
regard to Sewall, l will say that ne
is the millionaire president of the
First National bank at Bath, and
director in several others. He bias
been the president of the great Maine
Central railroad system until lately
He is still one of the directors and
heavy stock owners. His last act
before resigning the presidency OF
the road was to strike down the
wages of the entire body of men en-
ployed 10 per cent. At the same
time the road was paying IL per
cent interest on millions OF
watered stock.
His ships all over the world are
boyCotted by the National Sailors
Union on account OF the low wages,
poor food and inhuman treatment
accorded the men who man them.
He is plutoorat by birth, instinct
and education. He has frequently
been known to say that 81 per day
is all that any workiogmsn ought to
have. Only last week he ordered a
score Of granite cutters discharged q!
Hsllowell, Me-, because they could not
work one day when the thermome-
ter stood 102 in the shade. He is
despised by all who know him on
account of his avaricious, hard heart
ed and cruel nature. He will be de.
feated two to one in his own ward
/
city and county. But might go on
for hours and the half would not be
tod. 1t is enough to know that he
is entirely unit to represent move
mcrt of this nature. 1t is the mes
outrageous, inconsistent and wretchec
nomination that the entire history O
American politics can disclose. Hi
aon is ROW stumping this State fol
Mckinley aud gold. 1t is case O
heads ] win, tails you lose. All TIT
Democratic candidates for congress
are gold standard men and Sewall il

enthusiastic occasion OF Mr.. Wright's
address, it must have been seen
through the distorted vision of terri
bly, frightened political eyes. AS
perhaps in prophecy of the death
blows to the liquor traffic, in answer
to good women's prayers and brave
mems hearts.
Who could doubt Gods answer to
prayer, when looking upon those
gathered there, in the Court House
yard in the interests of prohibition,
gazing eager, upturned faces of ex.
peotancy upon the words of q Pro-
hibition nominee for governor, and
remember how women and children
few years ago had knelt there in
tears and agony sending up prayers
to God against the saloons and for
the awakening of public heart and
conscience toward their overthroS W
"Prohibition" was said to be "dead"
when the struggle met with SO called
"defeat." But it was very lively
"corpse" that night OF Mr.. Wrights
meeting. Instead of dying it has
been steadily growing and growing
till it is the main issue before our
people today and will soon be the
law Of our State.
God hasten the day of deliverance
from the incubus of sin, debauchery'
ruin, misery, corruption, injustice
oppression, lawlessness, crime, fnan-
cial distress and anarchy that is now
weighting US down through the sa-
loon system and clogging every path
way to prosperity, good government
morality and peace.
Messrs Editors: When neither
you nor those with you in your ad
vocacy of the saloon system can de.
ny these awful results, how in all
conscience can you plead for its CON
tinuance? Not one argument Of all
you might attem pit to advance could
counterbalance these terrible evils OF
atone for them.
And yet, you are working for the
perpetustlon OF these blights upon
the happiness and prosperity of our
people and blots upon the escutcheon
of our State.
And you are denounciug a brave,
patriotic statesman, for taking his
