Get Guns Negroes" Says Pew
Turner to His People.
MAY PROVOKE RACE WAR
ADVISES: SLAUGHTER OF THEIR
..FIENDISH INVADERS"
STIRRED UP BY LYNCHINGS
Recent Alleged lawIess Acts in LouIsi'
ana Are the Cause of the
Calling Of the Blacks
to Arms.

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-"Get guns,
| negroes is the advice which Henry NJ.
Turner, Bishop of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, gives to his people.
The Bishop, in addition to his episcopal
duties, is editor of the monthly organ of
the church, the Missionary Voice, and has
as his associate editors Bishops Grant,
Handy, Arnett, Derrick and a number of
prominent colored clergymen. In the is
sue of that paper to-day Bishop Turner
says editorially:
1.-THE fendish lynching of John Johnson
and Archibald Joiner upon mere suspi-
cion in louisiana while the African
Methodist Episcopal Bishops were meet
Ding in New Orleans, only a few miles
from the scene of blood and death, was
most damnable.
'Let every negro in this country with
spark of manhood in him supply his
house with one, two or three guns, or
with a seven or a sixteen shooter, and
we advise him to keep them loaded and
ready for immediate use, and when his
domicile is invaded by bloody lynchers
or any mob by day or night, Sabbath or
weekday, turn loose your missiles of
death, and blow your fendish invaders
into thousand jiblets.
1--WE have had it in our mind to say
this for over seven years, but on account
of our Episcopal status We hesitated to
express ourselves thus, fearing it would
meet the disapproval of the House of
Bishops, but their approval or disapprov-
al has done nothing to stop the fiendish
murderers who stalk abroad and are ex-
terminating my race, so we have now
said it, and hereafter we shall speak it,
preach it, tell it and write it.
again we say. get guns, negroes, get
guns and may God give you good aim
when you shoot"
The effect of the advice from Bishop
Turner can easily be foreseen. The ne
groes, advised by their leaders to desper
ate deeds, will call upon their heads the
vengeance of their white neighbors, who
will give them the worst of it.

Capt. Woodrum tells us that there is
intense excitement at Norwood over the
disappearance of the little eight-year-old
daughter of Mr. Arch Atkins, of that
town.
Yesterday afternoon the little girl, in
company with black girl about her age,
was playing in her fathers back yard.
This is the last seen of the children.
When the child did not come in at dark,
her father instituted a search for her.
A searching party was formed and the
woods around Norwood were secured for
her but up to the time of the departure
for the Yadkin train this morning nothing
had been heard of her. Her parents are
almost wild with grief and there is in
tense excitement in the town.

Montgomery, Ala, March 1S.-Ihc
Legislature last month increased the age
of consent from ten to fourteen, and the

many complaints. Very many negro
girls in the farming district of Alabama

or twelve years old. To such as have
married and who have not yet attained
fourteen years the law operates as n
Simple divorce, and a number of cheap
divorces are being secured in this way
among the negroes.

not possibly profit, but which he fur
thered for humanity S sake If the truth
were known regarding the ways and
means that were used in founding the
Congo State, it is probable that public
opinion on these matters would quickly
reverse. 1t appears that, after obtaining
the opinion of noted physicians on
Carlotta' $ probable lease of life, he in
vested her money, one million after an
other, in the African chimera, hoping
against hope that by the time of her death
the Congo State would be on a paying
basis, and that its resources would per-
nit of restitution, or at least of partial
restitution, to her heirs. This hope has
proved delusive. 1t will probably never
be known how much money the King has
sunk in the enterprise, but hat the West AT
rican wilderness has swallowed Carlotta's
fortune, principal and interest, there can
be no doubt. All this is, of course, I'M
known to the hapless woman who,

is now to revisit the country where she

been revealed to the prisoner of Queretaro

death of Rudolph, heir to the imperial
dignities OF Austria Hungary, how much
more bitter would have seemed his fate.

Boston. Mass, March 1s.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the wool
trade:
THE past week has been distinctly a
reriod Of higher prices and increased ac-
tivity. The market $ broadening, and az
we go to press the indications all point TO
larger rather than smaller transactions
Taking the market as a whole, Il may per-
haps be safe 10 say that low-srade WOODS
are up per cent, and better grades 10 y
cents. Territory woods are still in very
strong demand, and prices may be said 70
perhaps show an advance of TO cents
on secured basis. The market for foreign
woods has been characterized by great
degree OF activity, goodiy sales of Austria
Ian secured and South American cross
breds being recorded. Fleece woods have
developed great strength, owing to Their
scarcity and to the excellent demand for
them The sales in Boston for the week
aggregate 7,16l. 0fN pounds, eco being do
nestle and S,SS5.o00 pounds foreign. COM

Chicago. Ills. March 1s.-wheat opened
weak today and closed firm at substantially
the sa.1e price it was yesterday. Crop
damage reports and fear OF trouble in
Europe struggled with poor export and
domestic demand the result being q drawn
battle. Corn closed a shade higher oats a
shade lower. Provisions advanced 7126l21s
cents.
The opening in wheat was weak on the
declining tendency which so readily sue
| ceeded TIE strong opening at Liverpool.
the exhibition a few minutes later of cable
grams from Liverpool reporting the ad-
vance CT Id there. but claiming them 10 re-
fer to later hour than the subsequent
decline that was known TO have taken place
deceived good many o fthos who saw
Them and were the means of inducing buy
ing enough TO cause May to recover 12s In
about ten minutes. The opening transac-
tons were over a range Of from 7i5I Ass
and the upturn referred to raised il TO 741l,
the price at which ii closed yesterday.
Then the market turned weak again, not
so much on account of the news as from
the very dizziness of trade. Crop damage
reports were quite numerous again and of
serious character from some localities,
so serious in fact, that many short spasms
of strength were intermixed with the gen
eral weakness OF the morning. About noon
the price had worked down TO 72S.c. Aside
from the crop damage reports there was
ittle in the way of news to induce buy
ing. The price tended downward until near
the close. May got down to 7315c, but dur
ing the last few minutes in advance of 1c
-
market, May advancing suddenly TO 7iIsc.
That price was bid at the close.
Corn was quiet but firm. influenced by
the moderate receipts and the heavy clear
a1ces Owing to the way in which the
corn is going out of the country, shorts
are getting a little nervous, and their buy
ing today although limited, was sufficient
10 sustain prices. EXeports were $685. coo
bushels. May opened 1sc lower. at 2i3sc,
and advanced to 243:Gt3sc, where 1t closed.
Oats were quiet and steady during the
greater part of the session, but closed easy
with a slight loss as compared with yester-
days last quotations. May started shade
lower at TIC, sold at 17k62sc, declined to
17Bc, and closed at ia. Business wac
for the most part of a scelp!ng nature and
limited at that, the only feature being a
good cash demand.
Provisions, after dragging up to noon,
improved radically during the last hour,
and closed very strong. Opening prices
were generally at al advance, due to the
small hog receipts. Littel business develop
ed during the morning and prices were
particularly at a standstill Then a sud
den rush of buying orders boosted prices
to thu highest point of the day. At the
close, May pork wac 12Ia cents higher at
$3.50. May lard 21s cents higher at $427I2
and May ribs 12lac higher at S4.S212.
Estimated receipts Friday: Wheat q cars
corn 100 cars, oats 10 cars, hogs 5000 head.
