AN APPEAL TO TIE CONSERVATIVE
WHITE MEN OF VIRGINIA.
In view of the forthcoming consti-
tutional convention TO which will be
submitted several propositions to be en-
couched In the new organic law, i'm
portant among which are the restric
ton of the suffrage and the division OF
the public school funds, we, the mem
bers of the Virginia Annual Conference
OF the A. N. E. Zion church, now In
session In the city of Petersburg, Va.
December 1st, 1900, holding in grateful
rememberanc the great philanthrophic
spirit of the South and especially of our
native state in fos tering the educational
Interests Of the past, whereby We are
enabled to make a respectful showing
to the world, We gratefully point with
peculiar pride TO the magnificent sup
port given TO the Hampton Normal
School and to the Virginia Normal ard
Collegiate Institute, and the main
tenance of the best system of the puB
lie schools In al of the southland: and
in grateful remembrance OF the very
kind rtlations heretofore exis ing be
tween the fathers OF both Iacess and
we the Negro sons, wishing not only
to continue. but to strengthen those
relations that the common good Of all
her children may be enhanced to the
lasting benefit of our country and hu
manly, do make the following appeal
to the conservative element of our
white brethren in the great common
wealth of Virginia:
We respectfully beg to assure you
that we are one IN sentiment, as to the
restriction Of the educational quaiifi
cation of the suffrage, as long 1t applies
in its operation equally to all races
concerned, but we are unaltersbly op-
posed to the notorious "GTand Father
Clause" which operates to the detri-
ment of our race only.

to remain with the business; they will therefore
not part with any more stock than they believe
necessary to fully carry out their plans for CO.
operation and proft-sharing, previously stated.
The owners confidently believe that, by in
augurating the liberal policy above outlined
towards their employees they will in return be
rewarded by more faithful service, and courteous
attention to patrons the result of which must be
beneficial to the new Company as we'll as aug

Furthermore, it can be calculated
to a certainty
that with many thousands of new stockholders
exerting their personal influence toward the sue
cess and welfare of the business, larger patronage
and correspondingly greater earnings for the
Company will be assured 1t is from the
increased benefits and material advantages which
these changed conditions are expected to bring
about, that the present owners feel confident of
better pro rata remuneration on the stock which
they retain, and in a measure justihes them in

Chicago establishment has since its inception
paid millions of dollars in dividends to its stock
holders, and that the New York establishment,
while only in its fourth year, is not only doing
larger business than the Chicago store, but is
