Directors Meeting.

From the Higginsville Advance.
The stockholders of the Lafayette
County Cooperative Association met
at the Grange Hall Wednesday and
reelected the old board of directors.
Immediately after the election the
board met, reorganized and proceeded
TO business.
The annual report of H. f. Kuhne,
business manager, was very satlsfac-
tory, considering the dull times. A
dividend of I per cent for six months
was declared.
II. f. Kuhne was reelected business
manager. G.. A. Hoefer, heretofore
manager OF the grocery department,
rendered his resignation. The board
very much regretted to lose his SER
vices, and passed resolutions to that
effect. Louis Widder was elected to
fill the vacancy. All other statesmen
were re-employed.

SECRET THOUGHTS.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.


| hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings,
a nd that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results-or ill.
That which we cali our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings, or its woes,
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
1t is Gods law. Remember it
In your still as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known,
Aud yet make comrade when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress by and by,
Like some marsh breeze whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its poisoned death.
And after you have quite forgot,
Or all outGroWn some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair.
They have a vital part, and share
In shaping worlds, and molding fate
Gods system is SO Intricate.

4 CoIored Man on Lynching.
Savannah News.


Rev. Or. A. j. Stokes, pastor Of the
Columbus-Street Baptist church, in Mont
gomery, Ala, is lecturing in northern
cities on the New South" He is a
colored man, and his church IS cne of
the largest and most influential IN Ala
bama. He treats OF his subject from the
standpoint Of the intelligent black man,
who is ANXIOUS for the moral and ma
terial advancement OF his race and his
country. II is TO be hoped that Bishop
Turner. Of this State, may be able TO hear
DR.. Stokes lecture. For the lecturer deals
I'm some plain and pointed truths which
the Bishop ignores. DR.. Stokes tries 10
bring his hearers and his race into the
light OF truth; Bishop Turner endeavors
to blind them with prejudice and pas
sion.
1T is a mistaken idea" said DR.. Stokes
during lecture in Philadelphia the
other day. ito believe that the future Of
our people is clouded and overcast. |
believe It 10 be the best outlook We ever
had" The race. he explained, was ac-
cumulating property, acquiring education,
and enjoying full civil rights in the
South. Contrasting the colored mans
condition in the South and in the North,
he showed that the former was almost
incomparably the better
He is as much opposed to lynching as
any other man. and recognizes and as
serts that the majority OF public opinion
I'm the South is against it. Yet ne de-
clared boldiy, in Philadelphia, that lynch
ing is not an unmtigated evil. Said
he: There never was a respectable
colored man lynched i'm the South, ex-
cept in a case of murder. / speak from
i hot in
the lynchings / have known about, the
victims were always men nobody in the
community could say a good word for
They came out from the slums at night
like the raccoOn, and stole back again
The negroes who commit heinous
crimes do the entire race harm and
while l would not lift a finger myself TO
lynch them. l do feel that every one Of
such removed from our race benefits the
race just so much
Having correctly diagnosed the case
Dr. Stokes knows the remedy 10 be APP
piled; and he Is advocating il. When the
race has been taught to regard heinous
crimes with adherence, and when indi-
viduals have learned that the commission
Of such crimes will call down upon them
the condemnation of their own people;
that ostracism will be visited upon them
ana every mans hand VIII De against
them to bring them TO speedy justice
under the law, then there will be ces-
sation of such crimes. and lynch law wiz
disappear.
How different Is this from the teach
inc Of Bishop Turner He says "shoot"
whenever a negro is lynched. no matter
what his character or criminaltv He
would array violence and lawlessness
against violence and lawlessness. and
fan the flame OF race prejudice and
hostility. on the other hand DR.. Stokes
says educate" Elevate the race. Re
move the cause. and the effect will be
removed. Preach against crime; wipe
out those crimes which lead to lynchng
and there viii be no more lynchng. II
should not take intelligent colored per-
sons one minute 10 decide whether they
will follow the advice Of Bishop Turner
or Dr. Stokes
