WHAT OF THE NEGRO?
Future of the CoIored Man Being Dis
cussed at Baltimore Convention.

Baltimore, Aug. 31.-The status of the
colored race was discussed today at the
second annual convention of the Dis
trict Foreign Missionary society of the
COIOred Baptist church. The president,
Rev DR.. c. 5. Brown, of Winston, N.
C., sounded the keynote in his annual
address, saying: The greatest sOcio-
logical question before the people of
this country is what shall be done with
the negro. Three alternatives have
been uggested-subjugati emigra-
ton and extermination-but the true
solution has not been touched-Chris-

Mrs. Barbara HAST, of Holton, who

Cooney & SIMPSONS Millinery Opening.

1t is difficult to tell the feminine por-
ton of Gardeners population anything
new about this famous Millinery Open
ing, for We're they not there on Satur-
day. to see all of the marvellous nov
elites and beautifully trimmed hats and
bonnets for themselves? The broad eX-
panse of their show window requires
quite a multitude of lovely and elegant
specimens and rich novelties to make
an effective display. and then the store
millinery store and it, too, requires
quite vast array of stylish and fash
ionable goods to make the desired i'm
preston upon the critical public which
! this noted millinery establishment ca
tiers to. Suffice it to say that to visit
this millinery opening is to see and be-
come familiar with the most desirable
of the Paris and New York styles in
everything that pertains to the MILL
merry business. 1t has apparently be
come a settled fact that very many of
the people Of Gardiner and vicinity rely
largely upon COoney & SIMPSONS eX-
cellent taste and good judgment when
selecting a hat or a bonnet. BonnctS
are coming to the front and Will be
worn more than usual this seasOn.Iib-
bons are used sparingly, the full trim
mings of velvet and taffeta silks being
preferred. Feathers are used prOfuse-
ly and a little later ostrich feathers
will prevail in the more expensive hats.
The turhan style more than holds its
place and is a favorite this fall. The
large hat that is worn down over the
face is quite becoming to some styles
Of beauty. The prevailing colors are
national blue, greys browns, and the
new reds. To mention the presence of
feathered songsters and friends who
only by compulsion make this climate
their home at this season of the year
would simply be reiterating the stereo-
typed millinery write up. Some things
can only be appreciated and enjoyed by
being seen and this artistic millinery
opening is one of them.
