GOOD ADVICE TO NEGROES.
Booker Washington Tells the Ne

Booker Washington Tells the Ne
gro to Vote tor and with the White
Democrats.
The most sensible and practical ne
gro Of prominence in the South is Prof.
Booker II. Washington, OF Tuskegce,
Ala, aud nc is thoroughly independent
IN his views. In answering the request
OF prominent colored man in North
Carolina as to what should be done to
allay the present conflict between the
races, Prof. Washington clearly ad,
Vlses him to make alliance with the
trium phant Democracy. He says in
the letter:
81 have been asking myself lately
some rather serious questions, and |
want to put one or two of them to you
Is there any reason why the negroes IN
the South should continue to oppose
the Southern white man in his politics :?
Is not this the source Of nearly all our
troubles? Unconsciously we seem to
have gotten the idea into our blood and
bones that we are only acting in q
manly way when ~e oppose Southern
white men with our votes.
VI bolievc that Governor Johnston
OF Alabama is just IS goos friend to
the black man as Hon. VIM. Young
blood, OF Alabama. Hon. Wm. Young
blood has about 400 white followers,
and Governor Johnston has about 500
600 white followers in Alabama. Why
should we follow Mr.. Youngblood with
mis- 400 white followers rather than
Governor Johnston with his 500, ,OOC
followers when no principle is at stake !
why is it that the negro in Cuba
has surpassed us in settling his race
problem ls 1t not because tho negro
hn u1, 70 - ~,
terest their own?
For example, suppose during the
agitation OF the freedom of Cuba the
negro had continued to espouse the
cause OF Spain instead Of the cause OF
the whites in Cuba? Would not the
white Cubans have grown furious
against the black man in Cuba?
YIN some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point tere
tit will cease to feel >that the only way
for it to succeed is to oppose every.
thing suggested or put forth by the
Southern white man.
problems. | confess that personally |
have brought myself wholly to the
point that | should like to sec the
whole race get to, but | merely ask
these questions to put you to thinking
along those lines If you lave not al
ready begun to do 80.
81 believe that there are thousands
OF white Democrats in North Caroline
who are so per cent. hettor friends tt

Stocks-The concerted measures OF
the most powerful financial interests
in the country proved effective to-day
in checking the progress toward panic
and collapse in the stock market. Sup
porting orders were distributed all
through the district at the opening
and prices were advanced in an effort
to restore confidence. But liquidation
continued on a very heavy scale and
drove prices lower again after the op-
ening. The advance in the bank Of
Germany's official discount rate from 6
to per cent and the hardening of the
private discoun. rate in London with
reports from that center Of further en-
gagements Of gold from New York for
shipment this week helped 10 unsettle
confidence. Prices ebbed and flowed
between reaction and recovery many
times before the flood of liquidation
hae been finally absorbed and the SELL
ing brought to sSandstill The decis-
ion Of the banks to use all their re-
sources to accommodate demand for
loans, the determination of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to large increase
government deposits with depository
banks and the course Of funds from do
nestle centers toward New York in
response to the acute needs developed
yesterday all tended to reinsurance.
The interval since yesterday in itself
helped TO quiet somewhat the histori-
cal apprehensions Of yesterday and con-
ditions at no time approached panic.
When the tide of liquidation was seen
TO be stemmed By the abundant re-
sources afforded prices set about a yio-
lent recovery under urgent demand
from the short interest and active bid
ding up by the traders and insiders.
The sharp advances invited some real
izing but the undertone of the market
continued strong up TO the close. which
was at net gains ranging from 2 TO IL
points for the principal active stocks.
Investment buying of bonds was in
evidence and this market generally re-
sponded to the late strength in stocks.
but there was number OF acute de-
clines, which served to make the tone
as whole irregular.

DIED SUDDENLY
BLIJAH sTARKEY, A FORMER La
BELLE MILL EMPLOYE, FOUND
LYING DEAD
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING
in = Room Back of a Saloon ON the
South side-Coroner's Verdicr I"
Eject That Death Was Caused BY

EARLY yesterday morning Elijah c.
Siarkey, of Twenty-ninth street, for
mer employe If the LaBelle mill, was
found lying dead in room On the
first floor of the new Pabst building,
at the corner of Moyston and Twenty
ninth streets. Later Coroner Schultze
held an inquest over the remains and
rendered a verdict to the effect that
death was caused by the bursting OF a
blood vessel.
Mr.. Sharkey was seen in the build
ing at various times during Monday
night and was apparently in good
health. About 4:9O o'clock yesterday
morning he entered the saloon and AZ
ter remarking to those about HIM that
he intended to take nap passed into
q small room at the rear. One of the
bartenders of the building entered this
apartment about nine o'clock and
found Mr.. Starkey lying dead on the
floor. DR.. George L. Mccoy, who was
summoned made an examination and
found that death had resulted from a
rupture of a blood vessel at the base
of his brain, causing cerebral hemor-
rhage A verdict in accordance with
this fact was rendered by the coroner.
When Mr. Starkey's body was found
his head was near the wall and his neck
was curved. 1t was evident that he
had endeavored to rest his head against
the wall when he lay down to go 20
sleep, and it is very likely that the
position he took was the cause OF a
blood vessel in his neck becoming rup-
tured.
The circumstances under which Mr..
Starkey died are particularly sad He
was formerly employed in the heating
department of the LaBelle mill, and
was considered to be an efficient work
man. He was about fifty years of age
and was we'll known on the South Side.
Mr.. Starkey's wife died recently and it
is said that since then he has been in
low spirits The arrangements for the
funeral will probably be made to-
day.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, December 19.-The failure
of the Liverpool market to respond to
the advance here yesterday weakened
wheat to-day, May closing B91c
lower. Corn closed ss@1ac and oats
k0Nc depressed. Provisions were
lower with hogs and grain, May pork
closing 12kc; May lard sc, and May
ribs 5@71ac under yesterday.
The markets opened only trif1e up,
declining later, and this was taken by
local traders as an indication that the
people most concaned look less seri-
ously on the war and political situa
ton of England and in its effect on
the grain market than did most of the
pit yesterday, when clamorous de-
mand from all quarters sent the price
up nearly two cents. The opening to-
day was under puts, May &@bc down
from yesterdays close at 70A@70ssc.
Shorts and others who had loaded up
On the previous session were sellers.
and the market eased off early to 700
701sc, holding steady for some time at
the decline. Bradstreets decrease in
the worlds visible of j ,297 900 bushels
encouraged some buying, May rising
to 7019c. This was lost on profit-tak-
ing, and May closed Sole lower at
70B@70Ac. The northwest was
moderate buyer in this market, and
there was fair cash business, $4,000
bushels being worked, all rail, from
here to the seaboard. A scarcity Of
cars hindered this business. Clear
ances in wheat and flour were small,
$4,000 bushels at the seaboard. Pri-
mary receipts were 508,400 bushels,
against 966.200 last year. Receipts
here were 20 cars, three of contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 274 cars, compared with 462 last
week and 785 a year ago.
Lower cables and the decline in
wheat were weakening factors in the
corn market to-day. Initial figures
were under the close yesterday. longs
and yesterdays buyers selling. The
market followed the fluctuations of
wheat throughout. Primary receipts
were about half the size of last years
and local receipts liberal, 514 cars.
Clearances were very light. There
was an increase in the visible of 1865
900 bushels May ranged from $3.50
327sc to 3SAsc. closing 2sQ1ac down at
32M GS27sc. Trade was dull.
Oats were dull and a trifie lower with
wheat. The shipping demand was
slow. Receipts here were 264 cars.
May sold from 24924sc to 24Ae. clos
ing 1s@Ac lower at 24G24bc.
Provisions were weak the greater
part of the session, Influenced by the
grain markets and lower prices at the
yards for hogs, but closed fairly steady
at the decline. The price was depress-
ed considerably by profit taking. The
shipping and investment demand was
good, probably saving the market from
q greater decline and causing the clos
ing steadiness. Trading was not act
i've. May pork sold from 5000 TO
5000 and closed 1910 under yester-
day at s10.o5; May lard from $3.50 to
s5.57h, closing SC down at s5.55; and
May ribs from s5.35G5.37h to s5.4oG
5.4s1k. with the close 597hc depressed
at s5.s7..s.
