Look up Your Property

Editor The Appeal: Through your
paper I wish to call the attention of
your readers as far as possible to the
fact that the Census Bureau is plan
ming to make special effort during
the taking of the Census in June to
find the exact amount Of property of
every description that is owned by
AfrO-Americans. This means a great
deal to us as a people, as we will be
very largely judged by the world by
the result. It is of the utmost impor-
lance that each individual member of
the race in every part of the country
begin at once to make a careful list
of the amount and value of the prop
erty that he owns so as to be ready to
give it at once to the census taker. It
is also important that as far as posi-
BILE ministers and teachers call the at
tention Of the people to this matter as
far in advance as may be thought best.
= Yours truly,
~ BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

rlble account Of the moral condition of
South Carolina as Tillman gives. A
majority of the population is lazy and
shiftless and still deteriorating. Sew
enty per cent of a majority of the
women of the state are totally lacking
in virtue These women are the most
constant companions of the young
white women of the state, for it is not
supposable that the remaining 80 per
cent, who are, theoretically not lack
ing, can supply all the ''black mann
miles, needed in South Carolina. The
entire white male population from Is
years is engaged in shotgun methods,
ballot-box frauds. Such is Senator
Tillman's description of South Caro-
lima; and the Ann Afbor students, as
well as everybody else, except the de-
cent people of South Carolina will
doubtless be greatly obliged to him for
dispensing valuable information so
freely and idiotically.

RICHARD YATES,
Republican Candidate for Governor
of Illinois.

Republican Candidate for Governor
of Illinois.
Richard Yates was born in Jackson
vile, Morgan county, Dec. ~, 1860, and
he lives there yet. His father was the
noted "war governor" After being
graduated from Illinois college, Mr..
Yates went to the University of Michi-
gan, where he was given a diploma
from the law school. Then he jour
neyed back to Jacksonville and began
to practice law and work for his party.
The money needed to send him
through the two colleges he earned by
working as city editor of the Jackson
vile Journal and Courier.
I He served as city attorney of Jack
sonville, and later was on the circuit
bench. During that time he took
Judge Carriers place in Chicago at sew
eral terms of court and passed upon
many special assessment cases. Then
President Mckinley made him revenue
collector Of the district of Jacksonville
and Springfield. This was in recogni-
ton of his services in getting an in
structed delegation for President Nc
klnley to the state convention in 1896.
Before that, back in 1892, he was one
OF the nominees of the Republican con-
vention for congressman-at-larg
r His friends say he is a good politi-
clan. His ability to make an interest
ing speech is one of his strong points,
and his sense of humor is another. He
remembers names and faces and dates
and is a good mixer" Those are
more points in his favor. in the eyes Of
his friends.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1900.

1t seems that the German and Bel
gian engineers who are constructing
railways in China are responsible for
the 'Boxer" raids. They run their
lines across farms, they tear down
houses and burn villages, de-
stroy crops, seize supplies, i'm
press labor and treat the peo-
pie in most cruel manner. The
Boxers were organized to resist and
revenge these outrages and they use
the only means within their power to
punish their oppressors. Everywhere
the cruel white man plants his heel
upon the necks Of his darker brethren,
but sometimes the worm turns.

the members of grand jury are
sworn to secrecy concerning their de-
liberation and the "whole thing will

has been much stormy weather In the

leak out through intimatlons or words
inadvertently spoken, that something
of the truth may be guessed at. From
such sources rumor has given 1t out
pretty strongly that the sessions Of the
late grand jury we've not always OF a
