Mr.. Chas H. Brooks, the only
colored delegate to the Democratic
convention, addressed the delegates
of the First district in the court
house Wednesday. Among other
things he said he was democrat
because he liked its principles and
he indorses everything that Bryan
and that if the colored people wish
to accomplish anything it must come
through the Democrat party; and
that the Republicans will not DO
anything for his race. ..l

ahousand students. When his own
studies were drawing to a
close he determined to 60 into the far
South into the Black belt as it is called
and devoted his life to the kind OF work
in which General Armstrong was en-
gagged at Hampton. And one day the
opportunity offered. Some colored
people at Tuskegee wrote to General
Armstrong to send them q teacher and
Booker T. Washington was sent. That
was in 1881. The young man began in
a very humble way indeed in q little
shsnty SO poor and mean that in wet
weather it was necessary to use um-
brellas.
But undismayed, the teacher went
on and presently conceived the idea
that he must continue to earn living
with education. And he looked around
for . farm. He quickly found one that
would suit his purpose, but then as he
saws he hadn't cent. But he wrote
to his old principal General Armstrong,
who to his great delight sent him .
check for $500. He promptly settled
on the farm and soon had the school
going. He taught the boys and girls .
part Of each day then they would 60
out ON the land and get it ready to
raise crops. That was tho beginning.
How the work grew and abundsntly
prospersd would take too long to tell.
But it is vertiable romance. The teach
er and his pupils put up the first build
ing with their own hands. they made
the bricks but could not burn them. 50

enough money to hire b:ick burner
Now they have large and splendidly
appointed esta blishments and Congress
has given them 1890 acres OF land
The premises ocupy about 500 acres
and they farm some 700 acres, growing
grass, cotton and fruit,
The estimation in which Mr.. Booker
T. Washington's work is held in th'
United States is evidence by the fac
that in December last President Nc
. Kinley accompanied by Mr.. Secretar,
Long and Postmaster General Smith
visited the Institute. The Presiden
delivered an interesting address on tn
occasson. in course of which he pait
a very high tribute to Principal Wash
inpton. HE has won" sid Mr.. Nc
Kinley, "a worthy reputation as one o
the great leaders Of his race, widel,
known and much respected at hom
and abroad as an accomplished educa
tor, a great orator and a true philan
thropist.
AS to the effect of all this on tn

THE ENGLISH PAPERS
PRAISE BOOKER WASH
.- LNGTUN. e

The Glascoe (Scotlank Herald hat
this to say of MIR. Booker Il. Washing
ton, principal Of the Normal and In
dustrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. U
S. A.: .','
we have amongst us just now per
haps the most distinguished man Of
color in America. He has come quietly
into our midst With characteristic
modesty having no axe to grind on this
side, no funds to raise or anything Of
that kind. ELL
he worked in q coal mine in his
youth in West Virginia-worked in the
mine during tine day and studied at
night. After time he went to Hamp-
ton Institute, a seminary at which
Negro students may earn their living
and study at the same time. His en-
trance examination was peculiar one.
"They did not know wheather to ad-
NIT me or not but they gave me room
to sweep. 1 guss swept that room
three or four times before I was satis-
fed. Than teacher came in and took
her handkerchief and wiped the walls
to see if she cold find any dust. After
that they said could be admitted.
Mr.. Booker T. Washington's educa-
tional career was full of interest but it
must suffice to say that three years
ago Harvard University conferred up.
on him the honorory degree of Master
of Arts. He received the honor in
company with Bishop Vincent and
General Nelson A. Miles, commander
of the U. S. army, and some dozen
other eminent people, and its crafty
ing to record that when the ex-slave
was presented the crowd Of bishops,
generals, commodores, statesmens,
authors, poets, explorers and noted
men Of every calling as we'll as students
of the University greeted him with a
great outburst of enthusiasm.
Booker T. Wahington's life work is
the emancipation of his race-seven
millions of people. 1t is large order,
but when a few simple facts are stat
ed it will be seen that this is what our
visitor actually has in hand. The civil
war put an end to slavery. 1t was a
great work but it was merely intro
ductory to still greater work. 1t is
in this great work that Booker T.
Washington is now engaged. Really
he is training men and women Of color
as school teachers and he has in his
institute at the, present. time. ahnnt a

What Caused 1t.

When Mrs. Bryan was going along
the street in her carriage to the depot
Friday, a crowd Of men opposite the
court house saw her and gave three
cheers for Mrs. Bryan"
She had a lap full of bouquets and
one of these she flung at the men on
the walk. They simply fell off the
walk onto the flowers and this was
what caused Sheriff Kinney to come
putting up the street a few minutes be-
cause he heard there was a riot start
ing.
1t was simply a li.tle friendly dis
