cess. In South Carolina conditions are
more favorable, but in Georgia the out
look is gloomy. The jails are filled with
negroes born since the war, and many Of
the race show symptoms OF insanity or are
afffifted with diseases unknown before the
war. And yet the commissioner says more
money has been furnished by the Peabody
fund for negro education than has been
invested for the higher education of the
whites
The report from Texas is favorable. The
Eegro there is not only being benefited
cationally. but agricu!turally.
Alabama reports that the State is under
lasting obligations to the Peabody fund
for aid There has not been a year since
freedom came to the negro that has wit
messed such widespread discussion OF all
phases of his condition as the present one
The commissioner believes that it will
be most helpful for the negro.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE.
Virginia reports favoraby on the good
work of the Hampton Normal and Agri-
cultural School Of Virginia. One Of the
chief objects of the school is 10 create in
the students an enthusiasm for country

only system of education which offers a
hopeful solution of the much vexed negro
problem.
Virginia statistics show an enrolment Of
2.1, 696 whites, ana 117.l29 negroes.

Fhv0RS EXPANSION.
Rev. Or. Dixon Says This Country Must
Stay on Top.

Stay on Top.
Rev. Thomas Dixon in his lecture, The
New America delivered before a large
audience at arove-Avcnue Baptist Church
last night, made a strong argument ard
appeal for expansion
In the outset ne declared that his lecture
was in no way intended as a political
speech that It was written two years ago
ana that he should continue 10 deliver il
as long as he could get an audience to
listen 10 ii.
The speaker was logical and proved
himself of splendid oratoricai power He
said that ne firmly believed that the
Almighty had intended the -hngIo-Saxoa
as the instrument for spreading civil and
religious light and liberty throughout The
world.
The substance of Rev. Mr.. Dlxon's arSu-
ment was that the United States was
destined to become the greatest nation on
earth. and that its destiny was being
worked out in the far East and n the
Antilles.
He said that the United States was now
living in a progressive age, and that in
order 10 keep at the top 10 which she had
ascended. it WAS necessary to reach out.
Mr.. Dixon sad he feit tnat the battle of
Manila Bay was as Z miracle worked By
God
The lecture was most entertaining and
Instructive Mr. Dixon was gracefully in
troduced by Mr.. J. Garland Pollard, and
Rev Dr. Hawthorne sat On the platform
with him.

Brief But Ncwsy Poii,i-
cal Notes.
Mr.. JONES GIVES HIS VIEWS.

A very large majority of the members
Of the Legislature, VINO come TO the city
from time 10 time, express themselves as
favoring an extra session OF the General
Assembly on the Constitutional Conven-
ton question, about the 1st Of next jan
uary,
Hon. Thomas n. Jones. member Of the
House Of Delegates from Isle Of Wight,
arrived hare last night on private bust
ness, and is stopping at Murphys. Mr..
Jones. when asked his position as TO the
time OF calling the Legislature together,
said he had always favored an extra ses-
sion, and thought just after the Christmas
holidays was the most opportune time for
the meeting.
He said he had already stated his views
on the subject in a letter 10 the Cover
nor. when it was thought the latter would
probably cali the body here in November.
WOULD SUIT THE FARMERS.
He opposed that time, because the farm
ers would be busy housing their crops;
but the people having ordered q convention,
he thought the matter should be disposed
OF as early as practicable
Mr. Jones is one of the most popular and
influential members of the lower branch of
tn. General Assembly, and his views on
matters relating to that body always carry
great weight He said he thought May
uard was u sure winner
Mr.. Jones is accompanied by Mrs. Jones,
who spends the winter here when the
Legislature is in session, and who is a
great favorite in Richmond society. They
will leave for home Tomorrow.

ference. The atterdance was not much
larger than during the afternoon. One of
the features of the meeting was the read
ing of a letter from w. Bourke Cochran,
of New York. who was unable to be pres
ent. Prior To the opening of the meeting
the Liberty Drum Corps. which il is said
is furnished by the Democratic state COM
mittee, made some music. Mr.. Cockran's
letter was resd by w. Osgood Brown. The
letter follows:
II regret very much that. owing 10 bust
ness engagements here, / will be unable

lis on the 18th.

Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, of Cincinnati,
made a ifteen-minute talk in which he ex-
were marked with a blue pencil. he ex-
planned to the audience that where there
was a mark there was a liquor ADVERTISE
ment. He doubtless meant TO convey the
idea that this was "a part of the american
civilization. Mr.. Bigelow said: we know
that no government has done for its own
people what this administration has done
for the Fflipinos." Mr.. Bigelow made the
assertion that the American flag has gone
through a complete metamorphoSiS IN the
Orient and IL now means no more than the
flag of any empire.
Capt. Patrick O'Farrell. of Washington,
was the last speaker. He facetiously re-
marked that the people of this country
have a fine system of government to regu-
late their own affairs but a poor system OF
others. The captain asserted that you
cannot run imperial pushes with a repub-
lican form of government. He made an
especial hit" with the audience when he
declared he could nave the entree to Mark
Hanna's pocketbook If he was a dishonest
Bryan, whom he termed a modern Lin
coin"
The meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning. There will be speechmaking
to-day and tonight, when IL is thought the
conference will close. One of the speakers
was the fusion Populists' candidate for
Vice President.
