There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nouuced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to core With local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and, therefore requires
constitutional treatment

WHY THE DISTRICT FOREIGN MISSION CON-
vENTIoN WAS ORGANIZED.
In our Declaration and Policy pub
lished and circulated some time ago,
we gave as reasons for our organiza-
ton:
LIST: The upbusiness-like methods
pursued by the National Baptist Con-
vention in conducting our Foreign
Mission work; that the money given by
the people for African Missions was
recklessly squandered by individuals
in this country and that only a small
part was ever sent to Africa.
2nd: Not only were the exis ting
methods of the National Baptist Con-
vention unbusiness-like, too expensive,
wasteful and nom productive in devel-
oping benevolence among the people
OF this country, but the continual COM
planning by the Missionaries of not re-
ceiving their salaries, and the inabili.
ty of the National Baptist Convention
90 keep its promise by paying the few
Missionaries employed. placed upon
the Ba2tists of this country a stigma
and reprOach which we desire to see
removed ; which stigma, in our opinion
could be removed by dividing the
country into districts.
Bird: AS a means of doing more ef-
fective work, both on the Home and
Foreign Mission fields and to correct
she existing evils connected with the
methods pursued by the Convention in
conducting its Mission Work, we ask
ed, we begged, we insisted on change
of plan; our cry was heard, but shame
fully disregarded.
Recognizing the fact that the COM
mand, 60 ye into all the world anC
preach the gospel to every creature,
had rot been repealed; that we owe i
TO the heather to give them the BreaC
OF Life, that this beng the supreme
mission of the church, we felt that i
the National Baptist Convention haC
become so absorbed in minor interest
as to be Indifferent and even careles
concerning this all important work, W

THE CAPITALIsTIc TRUST.
There is now forming in the United
States a capitalistic trust the colossal
proportions of which will overtop all
the other trusts combined in this land
of trusts.
This new trust is the American cot
ton Manufacturers National Associa-
ton. Its formation has already be-
gun. 1t will be composed of two dis
tinct divisions. One division will re-
The southern division will produce all
the lower grades Of goods including
yarn.
THE NORTHERN DIVISION.
The northern division Of the trust
will produce the higher AMI finer class
of goods. The foundation stone Of the
trust will be cheap labor and long
hours at the south. This cheap south
ern labor with long hours is to be es-
tablished through maintaining Negro
serfdom at the south.
1T WILL DO THIS.
Cheap Negro serf-labor at the south
on the farm, in the mines and in the
mills will drag poor southern white la
Dor to it's level. Nothing can prevent
this Caucasian or no Caucasian. South
'ern wages of both the Negro-serf and
the poor white being thus established
on the basis Of long hours and low
wages will, under the trust and the
national Industrial pelicy of govern
ment bounties to monopoly, drag
white labor at the North down to their
level. This is inevitable.
HOPE EXPRESSED.
I wish every reader and friend OF the
Richmond PLANET to get these simple
yet tremendous economic facts before
the white wage slaves Of the North
Show them that the Negro-serf labor
at the south, under social political and
educational Race despotism must re-
act with terrible power on northern
white labor.

OUR HOPE AND PRAYER CONCERNING TRis
MEETING.
Our hope and prayer to God is. that
this may be the grandest and most
beneficial meeting ever held in the in
ter est OF African Missions by the Bap-
lists OF this country; that it may serve
to awaken new missionary life and
zeal, not only among our preachers
and leaders through the District in
which we propose to operate, but
among our churches as well, that its
final results ray be the devising OF
better methods for the prosecution OF
our Foreign Mission work. and the col
lection Of more money for the speedy
redemption of bleediDg.and benIghted
Africa.

would organize District Foreign Mis-
sion Convention, the supreme object of
which would be TO send the Gospel to
Africa.
WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THE DISTRICT
FOREIGN MISSION CONVENTION.
/. You should do it. because it is
right and duty demands it of you.
2. You should do it, because the
Lords command aud Africa's needs
are urging you to come up to the help
of the Lord against the might
3. You should do it, because you
will thereby remove from yourself
and us the stigma of playing at mis-
sions while the souls of men are dying
for the want of the gospel.
WHAT ARE YOU PREPARING TO DO?
The time for our meeting is at hand
Will you have your church, your ssso-
citation and your missionary organiza-
tions to join with us in the redemption
of Africa?
viii you not meet us and join us in
putting q consecrated man in the field
as Agent of the District Convention?
viii you not help us to support at
least two missionaries in the dark land
of Africa this year?
Let us unite for Africa's redemption
in clear, practical and tangible way.

Whereas said council was composed
OF members of other districts, who

who were not in sympathy with the re :
