OUR WOMAN'S COLUMN.
(From the Star of Zion.)

THE WASHINGTON BEE, a strong
and fearless race paper, has, like the
Star, added a Woman's Column and
appointed Mrs. Ella V. Chase-Wil-
liams, formerly of Washington, D. c.,
but now of Abbeville, S. c., editor of
it. Congratulations, neighbor! She
is a good writer. The Star feels very
proud of its editor, Mrs. Pettey.
Our woman editor is not only a
good writer, but one Of the fore
most teachers of the age. Her
record, as a teacher in the public
schools of Washington, d. G. prior
to her marriage, is splendid. Since
her marriage she together with her
husband founded Ferguson Acad-
emy, Abbeville, S. c., and was its
honored principal ten years. This
Institution is under the Northern
Presbyterian Church. After she
rendered her resignation, as princi-
pal of this school, they founded
Ferguson and Williams College,
located at Abbeville, S. Ca school
for the higher education of the boys
and girls of the race, under the
Southern Presbyterian Church.
Every progressive paper should
have female editor.

NOTHING TO ASK.
From the Southern Herald)


T. Thomas Fortune, w. Calvin
Chase. and a few other colored editors
who fought Mckinley from the begin
ming are very much disgruntled be-
cause they claim his managers are not
consulting colored leaders in the con-
duct of the campaign. Please stop
your ranting, gentlemen. Colored
men who have been Mckinley'S
friends have been, and are being con
suited by the managers. Like the
prodigal son, YOU fellows who have op-
posed him should be content to be as
ia hired servant" in the Mckinley
ranks.
The BEE was the first paper in
this country to indorse the noml-
ton of Mckinley, and the editor
of THE BEE was the first republi-
can, at a public meeting Ito offer
resolutions indorsing the nomina-
ton of Mckinley, while this very
same Cansler and Tooney, not only
editorially opposed Mckinley, but,
denoun ,ed everybody who at
tempted to defend Mckinley.
THE BEE is not controlled by
white men and southern white re-
publicans as the Herald is, nor is the
opinion of the editor of The BEE
expressed by white republicans of
the south as the opinion of almost
every colored delegate at st. Louis
was. With but few exceptions not
colored delegate had an opinion
of hls OWE, and those who had an
opinion was not admitted.
The BEE is no mans slave. If
the managers of the Mckinley
campaign refuse to treat colored re-
publicans as they should be treated
and from the stand point of The
BEE, this paper haIing the courage
of its CONVICTION will condemn
them, no matter who is offended.
Colored men are not being treated
as they ought to be, by the nation
al republican managers. There
are a few tools and suckling poll.
ticians perfectly satisfied with
what they are receiving-promise;
and dollar or so while the masses
must suffer.
Some say that the old leaders
have been shelved. If that is so
what new leaders have been recog
nized? {? If we are to Judge by tn,
delegates who were at St. Louis
and depend on them to defend tn
interest of the race, we are sadl
and gloriorsly left.
If we were dependent and sub
jected to the party lash, as the edit
ors of the Herald and other south
ern tools like the Herald men, W
would be satisfied with being tn
servant.
The BEE was a strong advocat
of Hon. W. B. Allison during tn
nomination of republican candi
dates, and was anxious to see tina
gentleman nominated after we say
how the Mckinley managers wer
mistreating colored republicans.
Senator Allison is a statesman o
the highest type.
What is the situation to-day
The republican campaign is in tn
hands of white republicans witt

of the Herald following on benin,

THE "BEE" COMMENDED.

PORT ROYAL, August 24th, 1896.
OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION NOTES
To THE WASHINGTON BEE"
The people of this section are very
much pleased at the very friendly
notice of the Work of the Union given
in THE BEE of the Sth inst. Your en-
terprising paper is apt TO become very
popular IN this section as a result OF
the interest you are SO kindly mani
testing in our behalf. The work OF
our schools is going forward with COM
mendable zeal and much enthusiasm is
being shown in the Industrial ACad-
envy movement. An encouraging feat
ure is the fact that SO many OF our best
men and women who have sons and
daughters to educate are expressing
their willingness TO push the enter
prise with energy and to endeavor to
bring about its establishment as speed
ily as possible. AS it will require a
great deal of money for this purpose it
will be necessary for all to labor zeal
ously and in every way open to them
to achieve the desired success.
Another picnic will be given at King
George Court House, about the last of
October. 1t is probable that the next
meeting of the Union will be held at
Salem Church, King George County,
Va, Oct. 24th and 25th 1896.
Renewed efforts should be made to
induce other schools to join us, for the
question can no longer be asked:
What are you doing for us at home?
Every one sees and feels our move
ment. All the Northern Neck should
join us in the erection of the Academy.
We have large number of intelli
gent and industrious young men and
women. Let us encourage them to
work for the Union Industrial ACad
emy and "a great deal of good will
result from it.
Ignorance is an injury to any COM
munity and to any race, we should
therefore use all right means to get rid
of it. What will do more to this end
than the proposed Academy? Let
every friends of the project work in
earnest. Yours for the Union.
NJ. B. RICH.
We send you few notes which
hope you will find worthy of publica-
ton. We especially thank you for
your offer to give us hearing through
THE BEE.
You might give us the benefit of
your wisdom and experience in the
way of suggestions which will have
tendency to help our effort.
Yours in Christ,
NJ. B. RICH, Secretary.

While Judge Mills is a refined gen.
