Melrose and Keelville people are
kicking over the star route mail

and the pay received 10 hardly
enough to keep q team in good or

people, and you'll have better mail
service.

suNHLowER CLUB.

suNFLOWER CLUB.
Friday evening, December 10, the
Sunflower Club met Ia the west
wing of the N. E. church and was
called to order by the president,
Miss Ruby Tuaker. As the class
had met q half hour earlier that
evening, Miss Morris spent that
time in drilling them on some new
songs, after which the roll was
called, followed by the opening
song.
Arthur Hiieman then presented
the life of Euripides; Miss Maude
Norton the life of Heroditus, the
father of history.
Miss Gay Chew read very fine
description of the writings of Ken
ophon, and George Macdonald the
works of Thermistocles.
Prof. Noble read to the class the
presidents speech delivered at the
Peace Jubilee at Atlanta, Georgia,
and called their attention to some
of the fine classical sentences as a
literary production.
Mrs. Thompson then continued

les.
The life of James Otis Is the sub
ject at present under consideration,
aud how he considered 1.-THE Migra-
ton Act" the importation Act"
and the "Writs of Assistance" as
revived in 176O, became the vital
question with the colonists, and 1t
was the enforcement of the latter
and the opposition of James Otis,
which led directly to the American
Revolution.
Mrs. Thompson's analysis of these
problems, which are 30 lightly
touched Ia our school histories be-
came very interesting and profita-
BILE to the class.
The meeting then adjourned un.

NEGRO FARMERS MEET.
Hold Seventh Annual Convention In Tus-
kegee, Ala.

sckee, hih'
At the seventh annual negro confer
ence held in the Normal school pavil-
ion at Tuskegee, Ala, Thursday, about
1000 colored farmers, representing
nearly every southern state, were pres.
ent. With them were many promi-
nent men and women engaged in the
various branches of negro education.
The speech OF Bishop Grant, of the
African Methodist Episcopal church,
was greatly appreciated. Booker T.
Washington presided. To encourage
gardening free package of seeds was
given to every one present.
The result of the conference was
the unanimous adoption Of the
following declarations:
wherever our people have been
reached by outside influence we be-
lieve there is constant growth in ac-
quiring education, building school
houses, extending the school term,
developing Christian character, i'm.
proving and purifying the ministry,
securing land, diversifying crops,
raising fruit and poultry, replacing
the one-room cabin, ceasing to mort
gage crops, getting out of debt and
living more economically.
In saying this we would not be mis-
understood, but emphasize the fact
that wherever the rank and file of our
people have not been touched by
some outside influence their condition
as to property, education and morality
is most unsatisfactory and will de-
mand for a long time the earnest help
and thought of the best people of our
country. The possession in larger de-
gree of the elements Of strength emu
merated above, we believe, will con-
stitute the foundation for oil the high
or rights and privileges Of citizenship
which every race should enjoy.
"Since So per cent of our people in
the gulf states live by agriculture, we
strongly urge that, along with other
forms Of education, special stress be
laid upon training in agriculture. We
earnestly urge all to buy land, if only
in small tracts, while it can be secured
at q low price. We would especially
call attention to the large amount OF
government land in the south open to
settlement. We deem it of vital i'm
portance that the educated young men
and women bear in mind that they owe
it to the race to give to the most un-
fortunate the benefit Of their education
in every way possible.
eve urge that local negro conference
or other organizations with the same
object be formed throughout the state.
We believe the holding Of annual
county fairs throughout the state would
prove most helpful. We strongly be.
seech our people not to be satisfied
with their present condition, but to
reach forward to something higher and
better"

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Corbctt's Right to Seat Championed by
Spooner.

A Washington dispatch says: A
feature Of the senate session Thurs
day was the speech of Nh. Spooner,
of Wisconsin, on the right of Henry
w. Corbett to a seat in the senate
from Oregon under the appointment
Of the governor. Mr.. Spooner made
constitutional argument in favor OF
seating Mr.. Corbett and had not con-
Guided when the senate adjourned.
An effort was made to obtain con-
sideration of the Alaskan homestead
and railway right of way bill, but on
technically it went over.
The resolution offered Thursday by
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska, to appoint o
committee of five senators to investi-
gate the Cuban situation, was with
drawn by its author when it was laid
before the senate.
When Mr.. Spooner secured the floor
10 advocate Mr.. Corbett's right to a
seat in the senate, he said that the
primary power to fill seats in the sem
ate from any state was in the legisla.
ture of the state, but in the reading OF
the constitution it ought to be remem-
bered that this very matter was one OF
dispute in the constitutional conven-
ton. He pointed out that the consti-
tuition provided that each state should
be tho peer of every other state, not
in population, not in wealth, not IN
area, but in the number of votes in the
senate.
Mr.. Hansbrough then endeavored to
get before the senate the Alaskan
homestead and railway right OF way
bill. The senate was about to proceed
with the bill when Mr.. Rawlins, OF
Utah, made the point of no quorum.
A roll call developed the lack OF a
quorum and Mr.. Rawlins moved to
adjourn. Division was demanded and
the senate adjourned at 4:36 p. m.
