WITH A HAMMER.
4 Boy, Under Strong ProvOcatIOr Strikes and Seriously Injures a
 meddiing Negro.

Tuesday afternoon about four o'clock, Frank Nelson, aged sixteen, white boy employed at Robinson s tin shop on East Barraque street, hit deaf and dumb negro, known about town as dummy ; over the left eye with a hammer seriously in- turing him.
 Nelson was busily engaged in the shop when the negro entered and commenced meddling with the tools and in other ways rendering himself obnoxious to the workmen-young Nelson and man named Woods that had just commenced working there.
 Young Nelson did not know the negro and motioned for him to get out of the shop. The negro raised the heavy hickory stick. which he all way s carries, in threatening man. ner and the boy ,thofoughly frighten- ed, picked up a hammer that he had been using in his work. and struck
  him on the forehead just over the left eye. The negro dropped to the floor, bleeding profusely, putin few moments recovered sufficiently to walk to his home. From the doctors reports this2morning he is, however, in yery precarious condition.
 After striking the blow, the fright ened boy then fled and despite the efforts of the police, nothing, as ! ct, has been learned of his whereabouts. He is well liked by his employer and though, having been here but a short time, he has gained many friends in Pine Bluff
 Dummy" the old negro, is an odd character about town. For years his bent form has been seen on our streets. He is regarded as harmless but to strangers and to children es- pecialIy he Is regarded with horror and aversion. Some time ago he en- tered a prominent home in the East end and after being fed. because the lady of the house wouldn't give him q dime for drink, badly scared her by his guttural exclamations and the way he brandished the heavy hickory stick-his constant compan- ion and the one which so frightened young Frank Nelson.

 Chairman Dingley says that the coming Congress will not lessen the war tax. He says i've cannot tell how much our peace expenditures may be increased over what they were before the war, on account Of our new possessions. Thus we went to war for "humanity's sake" to find intending taxation. And all because of the grasping greed of the administration in annexing the Philippines, which are not worth q picayune to this country. The American people are thus to be in definitely taxed for their patriotism and humane impulses.

The Bull Fight Problem.
New Orleans States.

AN0W OAAbdIo CtAlbos
 Bull fighting is the national sport of Spain, aud, indeed, ofall Spanish speaking countries. Itis understood that the people of Cube. are afraid that when the United States estab- fishes a military government in the island, their favorite sport will be suppressed, and it is said that pc, tition is now on it's way to Washing Ion politely appealing to the Presi- dent not to interfere with their en- joyment by closing the arenas in Havana and other cities. In this country, however, bull fighting is regarded as a barharous and debas- ing sport, and as a matter of course, numerous societies of morallsts will instantly demand that the power of this government be used to crush it out. On the other hand, the people of Cuba seem to find bull fighting gcod enough for them, aud if the administration at Washington inter- Heres with their amusement ttey can properly claim that the action is tvrannical. The Chicago News says:
 Probably the administration will interfere. But if it does tbe prob, lem will by no means end with the mere act of prohibition. The Cubans may demand whether, if the govern ment expresses bull fighting, it IS going to leave them defenseless as against some forms of entertain meut which may be imported into their island with full sanction of American laws and customs. Must they take up with boxing bouts" in athletic clubs" where men are not infrequently slugged to death, or with the still more fashionable diversion of football?

The Daily Graphic of Monday and the Semi Weekly of Wednesday morning gave the fullest and most complete account of the semi-cen- tennial celebration at the First Methodist Church last Sunday evening of any paper yet published. The Graphic had full synopsis of all the addresses delivered on that important and memorable occasion, together with an excellent picture of the new church and a likeness Of it's popular pastor, Rev. A, O. Evans. Altogether the Graphie's account of the celebration made nearly three columns. The most published by any other paper was a half-column. The Graphic ap- preciated the importance of the event and reported it accordingly. In future years, and when the cen tennial celebration comes along in 1948, after most of us are dead and gone, that edition Of the Graphic will be a mosts valuable one for Methodists. The account of the semi.centennial service should find a place in every Methodist scrap book.

OPENED THEIR ANNUAL SES- SION IN THIS. CITY THIS
 MORNING.
Over 200 Delegates Present, Among Whom are Some of the Most Prominent COlored Men in
 the United States,

Representative coIored preachers are in the city from all parts of the State, attending the Gannual session of the Colored Baptist State Conven- tion, which opened this morning at the First Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. k. Rose is pastor, and will continue in session until Sunday night.
 The convention represents the largest negro organization in the State and is composed of some of the most learned men Of that race. Dr. E. c. Morris, of Helena, is the president and has been for many years.
 The convention meets for the pur pose of reviewing the result of the work for the past year and to discuss the educational work among the groes, The Arkansas Baptist College is the institution of the race in the State and each delegate brings a Icontribution from the churches throughout tins State for the work.
 Rev. J. F. Robinson called the con- vention to order, ne being one of the vlce-presidents and the Rev. Dr. D. Green, of Fordyce, made the opening prayer which was feryent and full of zeal. Dr. Robinson said in part: Dear brethren, we have met here this morning for the purpose of dis cussing the result of our past years work. The Lcrd has blessed us dur ing the past year, and we thank him on that account. But since we last met our country has been forced into war, and we have taken a partin it, too. It has been a big war too and today the greatnations Of the world respect us,
 We as ministers of the gospel have also been in war with sin and the devil. We have met old man devil face to face and many of us have been able to overthrow him and his kingdom, and today we bat tle-scarred soldiers are here to report to each other the result of our con flct."
 Dr. Robinson concluded his address by informing the ministers of the gospel that they were in a fast age and they must take hold of the gos- pei in order to accomplish anything He told them to preach the word with power and understanding as sit was necessary. He spoke of the false doctrines that were being preached and the ministers should study their Bibles in order to be able to meet them.
 Dr. E. C. Morris, the president of the convention, arrived this morn ing and made q short address. He was roundly applauded by his breth- ren. He is the leader of the negro Baptists in this country, represent ing 1 ,700,000 He Is also president of the National Baptist Convention. Accompanying him was Dr. E. K. Love, of Savannah, Ga, pastor of the largest negro church in America, having a membership of 5000.

The Graphic yesterday mentioned a riot in New York between blacks and whites to show that race dls- turbances are not alone confined to the South. As a further evidence of the fact that the Northern white man is intolerant of the negro we have to recite that recently resi- dents of Medala school district of Columbus, Ohio, in which a colored teacher had been employed to teach in the white school, withdrew their children from the public school and by voluntary contributions estab- lished another school, open to all white children. A similar condition also prevails in New Haven, Conn, which city is all stirred up over the employment of a colored teacher in the white schools. These facts go to illustrate the hypocrisy of North, ern press and people in condemning race disturbances in the South.
