has secured the services of about q of
our most prominent and successful pro-
tefsional men to thoroughly canvass
the entire District, for the names of
our people who are doing any thing to

vassing already well advanced. Many
important business enterprises are be-
ing unearthed and brought out that
few people know anything about,
When the data are all in, all the data
concerning each name will be written
upon card; In tbs way the names
and different kinds of buBiness can be
easily arranged alphabetically.
No such concerted effort has ever
been made before to find cut just what

MEASURES AGAINST THE NEGRO.

MEASURES AGAINST THE NEGRO.
Repressive measures, more and
more, for the cOIored brother by his
best friends are the order of the day in
certain sections. New Orleans has de-
oided that the Negro boy and girl
must not be carried beyond the fifth
grade in the public graded schools Of
that city. The city council OF Rich
mond has just decided that the city
government will not hereafter accep!
the bid OF any contractor who will not
pledge not to employ any skilled Ne
gro labor. Certainly there is mean
ness in all this, but the black man will
not be discouraged. What hurts the
one will not help the other Afro,

his Southern brother. If the demo

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1900.
TWO TALL FIGURES PASS AWAY.

Two notable figures have passed
away within a week-John Sherman
and Charles Dudley Warner. Both
were distinguished as leaders in the
thought and activities of the century,
and both will leave lasting impress
upon the pages of history. 1t is of Pc
culiar significance that both were at
one time conspicuous for their ardent
championship of the elevation of the
Negro, and later gave expression to
bitter disappointment that the black
man had not accomplished greater mir
acles than was possible under the op.
pressive system with which he had to
contend. Mr.. Warner expected
more rapid intellectual and industrial
advancement in the race itself and
Mr.. Sherman expected loftier politi
cal advancement for himself, and never
forgave the apparent desertion of bis
standard at the Chicago Convention of
1888, when he made his last dash for
the presidency. Defeated in a long
contest in 1859 for the speakership of
the National House of Representatives
by reason of his unwavering devotion
to freedom, and as he felt in his life's
ambition through the INCONSISTENCY of
those for whom he had sacrificed much.
his declining years carried little kindly
interest in our welfare. Mr.. Sherman
misjudged the Negro. 1t was not in,
gratitude, but preference for another
man OF equal merit that led to the
results at Chicago. Mr.. Warner like.
wise made the mistake of expecting to
gather rich crop from soil that had
not been given time for development.
Both were great and useful men.
They served US at critical mon ents,
and We honor them for the humane
spirit that prompted their sction. This |
generation will profit, however, by
their experience, and temper high |
with due consideration
OF the unhappy circumstances sur.
rounding the rise of people like ours.

CROP INDICATIONS
In Eastern Ohj.o-A Falling Off In
CereaIs-AbOut Fruits, Etc.

CereaIs-AbOut Fruits, Etc.
The crops in eastern Ohio have not
the brightest outlook, and the wheat
crop especially promises to be about
40 to 80 per cent less than last year,
which is quite falling off, Last year
the average in Belmont county was
between twenty and twenty-five BUSH
els per acre, which was considered a
good average. A farmer, who is well
posted in cereal crops, stated that ow-
ing to this years poor showing many
of the farmers, who could afford it
would hold their old wheat, hoping to
get better prices. The oat crop will be
fair, but not up to the average, but has
improved much in the last few weeks.
AS to fruit, the prospects are fairly
good, although the cold snaps during
May has caused much of the fruit to
fall off, This is found principally in
the valleys, while in the higher places
there seems to have been but little
damage done. AS to small fruits there
will be an abundant crop, which many
say has not been equalled for many
years. Strawberries, raspberries and
blackberries promise to lead in pro-
duction. The two latter, it is said, will
break all previous records. In all the
outlook for fruit is very promising,
which will be a great benefit to the
people

An English legacy of six hundred
pounds, or about $4,000. will soon be
secured by Thomas Henry Acres. or
No. 222S Eoff street, and his brother.
Frederick Talmage Acres, OF Philadel-
phia, Pa, who are the only living direct
heirs of the estate in this country. A
telegram was received by the Register
from New York stating that a legacy
was waiting for Mr.. Acres, of Wheel
ing, and he stated to Register repre-
sentative last evening that the last
letters he received from ATTORNEYS
Carter, Hughes & Dwight, of New
York, stated that about 50 900 would
be divided between him and his broth
er, Thomas Henry Acres. of Philadel-
phia, Pa. This legacy was bequeathed
to them by their aunt, Mrs. Lucy For
est, who died in England. Twenty
eight years ago Mr.. Acres sent to the
branch of the family in England the
names OF the living heirs, who were
Cordelia Curtis Acres, and her children,
Thomas Henry Acres, Frederick Tai
mage Acres, Florence Louise Acres
and Thomasine Flacton Acres, and
learned nothing of the estate until he
saw personal in New York paper
on May 18th, stating that legacy had
been bequeathed to these heirs. His
father, thomas H. Acres, Sir, was at
one time prominent lawyer in New
York, being a member of the firm of
Acres & Talmage. and died in 1857.
After Mrs. Acres died in 1875, the mem
bers of the family became scattered,
each going to different city to re-
side in hopes of lettering their posi-
ton. The two branches of the family
have not communicated with each 9TH
er for the reason that the children
never had an opportunity of becoming
acquainted with their relatives in Eng
land.
Mr.. Acres, of this city, has also men
toned to the New York lawyers that
the children of the heirs who are now
dead might come in for share of the
legacy, but has received a reply that it
would probably come entirely to him
and his brother. He has also been as
sured that he will receive his share of
the bequest within the next thirty
days.
