PARSON BOLDEN AGA/N.

The Southwestern Christian Advo-
cate comes to the rescue of Parson S.
NJ. Bolden, the Hampstead divine who
sometime ago, ran into the arms of
the law in Houston, on charge OF
seduction, after this fashion:
We are confident that the Dalla.
Express will regret to learn that it,
Houston correspondent misrepresen-
ted the facts most seriously in report
ing to its columns the case of the Rev
>. M. Bolden, who was arrested il
Houston during the recent session o.
the Texas Annual conference.
The only thing true in the iten
mentioned is that he was arrested
But he was neither arrested at thu
conference room nor for the "seduc.
ton of a fourteen year old girl,n a.
asserted. He had received a message
during the day to come home and had
gone to the night train forhthat pur-
pose.
While there he was arrested and the
conference knew nothing of the un
fortunate affair till the next morning
The young lady in question claims to
be over eighteen years of age, and il
a letter to the editor which lies before
us as we write says: HRev. S. M. Boil
den is Christian gentleman aud is in
nocent of mistreating me at anytime. :"
The arrest is accounted for as follows:
1t appears that he was accompany
ing two young ladies and as the letter
before us says, the one heard that he
was to marry the other OH Monday
night after his return from conference
She listened to advice of friends and
swore to the charge of seduction in
order that the proposed ceremony
might be prevented. This was done,
and the result is that neither of the
young ladies has thus far become Mrs.
Bolden but he has been Wronged
and seriously damaged in reputa-
ton. We regret this exceedingly, for
not only does Brother Bolden suffer
but his conference also and the min
istry i'll general.
To the above, Bro. Scott appends
certificate of good character for the
parson, signed by the stewards of the
church. When the S. w. G. Advocate
states that the only thing of truth
said by our correspondent was that
the arrest was made, it seems to make
out weak case, but when it goes in tc
tell the old, old story about the preach
er between two pretty women; III
love with one and engaged to the
other, he ruins, even weak case.
The woman who is alleged to have
written that letter calling Parson Boil
den Christian gentleman, is the same
woman who had him put behind iron
bars, and we demand to have her put
on the stand to show cause why she
made such a mistake.
The DALLAS EXPRESS, however, de-
sires the S. w. G. Advocate to under
stand that it is taking no stock in this
preacher and two women fight. 1t
is merely trying to serve a public that
delights to read the news.

We are employing regularly in our
shops as printers, pressmen, etc., a
dozen Negro men and women, beside
scores upon scores of paid cores
pondents scattered all over the coun-
try, and yet there are Negroes under
our very nose who persist in having
their printing done by establishments
who would sooner go out of business
than employ Negro as a printer.
Still these fellows favor Negro enter
prise. There is a scripture which says:
"The man who says that he loves God
whom he has not seen, and hates his
brother whom he has seen, is a liar
and the truth is not III him." and the
fellows above referred to are like unto
him.

CHAIRMAN NED CIR EN- has an Irish
secretary, born in Wales, who has the
significant name of Daniel Quill.
Now, mind you this Mr.. Quill is very
volumnious writer. Some time ago he
addressed letter to county chairmen
calling their attention to the fact that
E. H. r. Green and "Goose Neck' Bill
will come before the state convention
for election as delegates Large, and
the versatile Quill then goes on to ask
if he can use the name of the county
chairmen, publicly to bring about this
result. The Quill, while doing Green
and Mcdonald no good, is affording
lots of fun for the Texas public. It's
dollars to doughnuts that Quilts let
ters will elicit few favorable replies.

WITH the new year, let lis resolve to
give the colored enterprises in the
state and throughout the country bet
ter support. Our young men and wo-
hunting work, from which they can
make a living and maintain self
respect. This is only possible through
Negroes of means embarking in bust
ness enterprises, and the balance of
the race coming up nobly to the sup
port of these enterprises. The day
was, when the so-called big colored
man, popularized himself by support
ing white industries and refusing to
support his own. That is all changed
now, and the Negro who refuses to
support the business in the hands Of
his own people, finds little argument
to his case. We have few Negroes
left who make it a rule to patrOnize
only white men, but they are growing
less in number and Importance with
each settiug sun, and soon such Ne
gro will be only an unattractive and
unappreciated curiosity in the COM
munity where he lives. Let the peo-
pie inquire of their leaders as to their
conduct along the lines of support to
those enterprises which employ Ne
groes on their merit, and where cor
rect answers cannot be given, let them
apply the knife.

Fullerton Won the Race.

At one Of the regattas Of the Nation
al Association of American Oarsmen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort. But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development of strength
in his opponent or any loss of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and of an
arrangement to throw the race
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were we'll out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
'Look her, you blooming cutthroat!
You've got swim, drown or win this
race! You know me-" He won.-Sat-

volume; then the note of another bell
intermingled, then another and anoth-
