ever was time when a courageous.

now is the time, when there is 80 much
being said ABOUT self e Placement, servil

The Census Nan Will Call On You.
The census is coming in two months
and 1t will bring an opportunity to the
Afro American which he should net
lose. The census taker Will be-arouno
some time In June, carrlog long thio
book in which the questions are print
ed, and bearing on his vest small sill
yer shield which contains an eagle and
the words '.United States Census, 1900"
This badge does not entitled him to
take money or to ask any questions
about your takes, Jour debts, your poll
tics, or your religion But it does
authorizs HIM to ask few harmles
questions about yourself and your prop
erty.
The census taker will want to know
your name and whether you are the
head of the family or some relation of
the head. He will ask whether you are
single or married, or widowed, in what
State you and your parents were born,
and what kind of work do. In order to
shsw ROW industrious the people are he
will ask how many months you worked
during the last year and whether you
own your home or not. In order to
show how intelligent the people are he
will ask whether you can read or write.
In order to show the wealth of the col
ored people he will ask few questions
about the value of your home and
farm, the number of mules, chick
ems, geese, pigs, cows, that you own,
and how much these animals are worth.
Besides these facts he will take down
the value of the gram, cotton, garden
truck, fowls, eggs that you raised last
wear. II you eat all the chickens you
raised. or used all the wheat you grew,
Won are to count the value of these alse,
lust as if they were sold for money.
The Afro American should think
these questions over and b. plepaled to
ans wered them properly, first beoa Use
the law requires them to be answered;
secondly, because they are asked OF
everybody, rich or poor, blsck or white;
thirdly. be cause If the Afro Americans
do not tell what they have raised and
what they possess, the race will not
make the showing it deserves to make
among the races, represented In the
United States.

DEATH OF REV. e. G.. PRICE,
RocE HILL Herald.

Rev. E. q. Price Of the South Caro-
lima Conference was for several years
pastor of the North Rock Hill Circuit
and later pastor Of the Fort Mill
church. A telegram from Cheraw to
the State announces his death at his
home in that town on Saturday last.
He was pastor of the church at Che
raw and had been there only since
January. The telegram says:
Mr.. Price, on account OF bis ilnger-
ing illness, had but short pastorats
here and was not well known to many
of our people, but those who knew him
had learned to love hin, ano all ad-
mired his fortitude in his suffering.
He was native of Branchville, and
has been a member of the conference
since December, 1876 He leaves a
wife and four children to mourn his
loss. His funera! services will be
held tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock
in the church Of which he was pastor.
1t is thought that DR.. Dargan, presid-
ing elder, Rev. Mr.. Nolen and other
ministers of his church, will be present
His remains will be buried in the Che
raw cemetery. His family has the
sympathy Of the entire community.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The 10Th of May, the day observed
in the South for decorating the graves
of Confederate soldiers, will soon
come, and we feel that few plain
words as to the observance Of the day
are not out of place. A lack of lnte-
rest, not to say Indifference, has been
noted during the last two or three
years in the observance of memorial
day ia the South. We do not believe
that our Southern people have for
gotten their honored heroes, but We
do believe that they Deed to be re-
min ded that memorial day is not what
it ought to be The world appreciates
the Southern soldier now as it never
: has before, and it would seem very
strange Just at this time if the South
itself shoald show even the semblance
of lack of appreciation of this Won
derful ldier. He belongs to u', and
it is our duty not to forget him. We
need not have annual 0rations TO tell
of his valor, but simple ceremony
on the 10Th OF May is enough. 1t is
certainly very little trouble for our
people to assemble in the court Eouse
or this one occasion of the year. A
few flowers ere not hard to collect,
and we know that the ladies have
only to hear the suggestion to arouse
their interest.
These memorial days are impressive
They have an Influence on children
that we can hardly appreciate. The
grave of the Southern soldier IS one
spot around which ali of our people O.
all classes and conditions can meet
He belongs to every home in the com
lnunity, and his valor, virtues and snt
ferings are bonds of the sweetest sym
pathv between us.
We hope that new interest will bt
awakened in memorial day this year
The ranks of the Confederate soldier
in Winnsboro and Fairfield Count!
are growing very thin; they will sool
disappear altogether. 1t must be som'
qualification to those living to feel tha
the people have not forgotten theiI
dead comrades. 1t would be yer!
painful to them to feel that after few
brief years not even flower woul'
he laid OF their graves.
