.vvD ADVICE.
To the Colored People by Pro
fessor Booker T. Washington.

In a recent address to colored
people in Alabama, Professor
Booker II. Washington, princi-
pal of the Tuskegee Institute,
gave them some excellent ad
vice. Among other things he
said:
"Get the idea that you can
have a decent home. DON t
marry simply to get another
plough hand. Stop living in
cabins, with no doors or win
dows, and with the chimneys all
tumbled down. Don't live,
sleep, eat and die all in the same
room. Many of you get to town
on Saturday and do a lot of big
talk, and then go home and
blame your wives because things
are not as they ought to be-
You are not doing your duty by
your family. Your sons and
daughters go away from home
because you have no decent
place for them to live in. Make
home attractive and they will
not leave you.
"Raise something to eat. You
60 to town every Saturday with
your wagon empty and come
back with it full. Garry
your wagon full to town and
come back with something in
your pocketbook. Some of you
are farmers, and even buy water
melons and kindling wood in
town. Raise your meat. Raise
your corn, vegetables and fruit
and you will have something to
eat. The merchant will be glad
to see you when you come to
him with money in your pocket
with which to buy, not meat,
but things to make your fami-
lies comfortable.
"Improve your school houses
Put in blackboards, seats and a
good teacher. Have the teacher
stay with you, not move from
place to place. Lengthen your
school term. You must learn
to make sacrifices. These con-
ferences are intended to clear
the way for higher things, and
we are going to keep at it until
you all get land"

THE POWER OF SMILES.

A young man was once con-
fined in a darkeued chamber by
a long and painful illness. The
inmates of the house were dis
tant relatives, and seemed to
think that they were doing theit
whole duty toward the friendless
youth by allowing him to re
main there. They seldom went
into his room. and his attendant
was a sad-faced old woman who
never smiled.
The young man became des-
pondent, and resolved to cons
NIT suicide. While he was wrl>
ing note telling his reasons
for ending his life a knock was
heard upon the door, and a sweet
faced lady entered. She was a
neigbor and hearing of his i'll
ness had sought him out.
She smiled so sweetly that
even before she spoke the young
man gave up the idea of the
crime which he had contempla-
ted. She spoke a few encoura-
ging words to him aud when
she placed her soft hand upon
his hot forehead in a motherly
way he broke down and sob>
bed like a child. She smiled
again, and knelt in silent prayer
by his bedside, with the sweet
love token by which God spoke
to him still glowing upon her
bright womaniy face.
In that holy silence all his bits
terness of soul left him, and
there came an intense desire to
seek and find Christ. The re.
pentant one fe't the presence of
Gods Spirit, and his hungry
soul cried out for rest and peace,
Ere the smile had faded from
the upturned face of the Chris
tian woman the loving Saviour
had entered the open door of the
seeking soul.
In a weeks time the young
man left the dim cham Der of
pain, aud went out into the great
world to do the Masters work.

Southern Woman.

The Athens (Ga) Banner has
word of advice to the young men
of the North who are in search
Of wives, which should open up
a brisk sale of marriage licenses
at once. "The South is place, "
says the Banner. "Where a breach
of promise suit is practically un-
known, where women are not
husband hunters and where di~
vorce is infrequent. There is
no such thing in the South as
awaiting for rich man to die
and then springing sensational
common>law marriage, nor has
there been rarely ever a claim
made by Jekyll and Hyde women
for rich mems estates. Come
South and flee from designing
Womanhood come where there
is no need for a bachelor or non-
marriage clubs, and fall an easy
victim, as you inevitably will,

JOHN TYLER'S POOR DAUGH-
TER.
A Former White House Mistress
Draws al So Pension.

Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple
daughter Of the late President
Tyler, and former mistress Of
the White House, now nearly
80 years old, is an inmate of the
Louise Home, an institution tor
impoverished gentlewomen,
founded in Washington City by
the late William w. Corcoran.
This letter from Mrs. Semple,
written to Senator Vest, was re-
Gently laid before the Commit
tee on Pensions by the Senate, :
II have not had the honor to
have met you, but as Missouri is
a daughter of Virginia, l do not
hesitate to call upon you, one OF
her noble sons, to extend to me
kind consideration. Very re-
Gently, your body, the Senate,
granted to Mrs. cambridge, a
daughter of General Zachary
Taylor, an increase of pension
on the life Of her first husband,
Colonel Bliss, U. S. N. This is
a second time an increase has
been granted to her. My object
III writing is to say to you that

for The services rendered by my
husband, Paymaster James A.
Semple, U. S. N, which has
never been increased from rs
per month. Mrs. cambridge
and myself stand toward Presi-
dent of the United States in the
same position, my father being
John Tyler, of Virginia. I ask
that you obtain for HE the same
increase of pension that Mrs.
cambridge receives, for at all
points we stand alike, save that
she has married again and that

James Monroe, William Henry
Harrison, John Tyler and Benja-
min Harrison were cousins
through the Armisteads and

"My necessity must plead
with you for me, lnasmuch as
the s8 pension from the Mexi-
can war is the only income what
ever have, and this amount is
inadequate for my necessities |
therefore most respectfully ask
your lntercess1on in my behalf. |
| will close my letter with this
fact: That after the death. of my |
mother, September, IS42, upon
the invitation Of the President,
[ assumed the duties of the lady |
Of the White House, and per-
formed them to the satisfaction |

Those Who Talk War.

It will be observed that those
WHO have been in the war are
the last to want any war with
Spain or any other nation.
Whether it be a small or a large
war it destroys human life and
property, and disturbs the nor
NAL condition of life and trade.
It adds to the vast sum of suffer
ing, and fills the homes with
misery and apprehension.
If those who want war could
be made to DO all the lighting it
might be considerably different,
but it is the experience Of all
countries and people that the
inciters of trouble are generally
the first to get out of the way
when the difficulties begin.
1t is a bad ching to talk war
1t is against public sentiment
and public feeling. 1t is the
spirit of fight and not the spirit
of peace. Uncle Sam will never
fight until he is compelled to
because it is common sense,
which has made him strong and
useful not only to himself, but
to the world in general -Balti>

"Does this appropriation mean
WARP" he was asked.
"Not necessarily" replied Mr..
Bryan. "Instead of leading to
war, prompt liberality at this
time may lessen the probability
eff war, and in the end prove a
wise economy"
He refused to discuss the
Maine incident further than to
say he was awaiting the result

WHAT LED TO THE WAR
PREPARATIONS.
The Placing of the Evidence
Produced in the Hands of
the President.

The official report Of >Ic Court
of Inquiry is expected at WASH
ington next week, buL it is now
known that President Mckinley
has been i'll possession of the
opinion of the court all weeE.
Hulse, the stenographer of the
court. who arrived III Washlng>
ton last Saturday from Key West,
brought with him for President
Mckinley copy cf all testi-
mony taken before the court,
and also a statement from the
president Of the court, Cap
tain SlmpsC i, announcing
that the court was convinced that
the accident theory was totally
out of the question, and that the
destruction of the Maine was
undoubtedly due to malicious
design.
Acting upon this information,
President Mckinley called to-
gether his advisers, SO that the
now famous conference of last
Sunday, followed by the council
ON Monday morning, out of
which came the resolution for
the $50, 900 900 defense fund,
was not caused by Spain's ten
tative demand for General Lees
recall, which suggestion it is
now conceded had been made On
the preceding Thursday, and re-
fused on Saturday, but it was
caused by the grave situation
which arose when Mr.. McKin-
ley read the testimony OF the
the Cour. of Inquiry brought to
him by Steuographer Hulse. and
which convinced the President
that preparations must be make
Immediately. to be ready for the
crisis which he knew would ar
rive as soon as the courts ver-
dict is made public.

How Towns are MADE or Killed

Here is an excellent arti>
Gle found in an exchange
which is commended to the
careful perusal of our readers.
More towns die for want of
confidence on the part of busi-
ness men and lack of public
spirit, than from the rivalry Of
neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When a man in
search of a home or business To-
cation goes to town and finds
everything brimful of hope and
enthusiasm over the prospects
of the place and earnestly at
work to build up the town, he
SOON becomes imbued with the
same spirit, and as a result he
drives down his stake and goes
to work with the same interest.
When however, he goes to al
town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension in the
future prosperity of the place,
moping about and indu1ging
moving complaints about imagi
nary evils which are likely to be-
fall the town, he naturally feels
it is no place for him, and at once
shakes the dust from his feet
which he pulls with all possible
speed for some other town. Con
sequently try and make a live,
enterprising, progressive town
out of the one in which you live.
When you are working for or
saying a good thing for your
town you are accomplishing all
the more for yourself.

rank of Captain. He will be subject TO
the orders of his superior officer, Ma
jor J. B. JOHNSON who is deeply color
ed. This was done, in the face of a
well-known fact that Virginia is well
provided with competent colored ply
sicians, who would have served in this
capacity.
Or. ALEX AMBER, (cOlored) OF Peters,
burg, is the surgeon of the Second Bat
talon.
Surgeon BLACK had not taken a pre- j.
udiced view of the case. He lives in a
section of the stste-East Rsdford-
where most of the white people are de-
void of that kind of pernicious race
prejudice, and are ready to perform
their sworn duties regardless of its un-
pleasant nature. But we have found q
veritsble character of the sams stripe
in this locality in the person of Mr..
BARNEY FRIsCKsoRN, who is acting
quarter master at Camp Corbin.
As the camp is under the command
of Major J. B. JOHNSON. of course
Q iartermaster FRrscKHoRN is under
him and subject to his orders.
The way to remedy this is to have
all colored officers, but as the white
brethren referred to seem to be salts
fed, we do not see why any one else
should go about the land mourning
over their condition.
1t should not BE- forgotten that it was
reported that President MCKINLEY was
asked 10 see to it that the white and
colored folks be kept separate He
consented SO to do, and before sixty
days have passed those who were howl
ing loudest were most forward in
bringing about the mixing, by giving
us white surgeon and white quar-
termaster. 1t is good to be consistent,
and quite amusing TO be Inconsistent.
When will this hypocritical business
