which are devoted to higher education Of
the negro few, are found EWlloi stand. high
in the Institutions adding that the real
demand is for training that will fit the
colored man for elemental and useful
vocations.
DR.. Nelson declared e,nphatically that
there is no decent, capable negro in the
South to-day who need be without work
for twelve hours. Continuing, he said:
The Southern people, as a class, have no
sympathy with the outrages that are
rerpetrated The best of them are OPP
posed to the disregard for law and order
that is sometimes manifested, and wish
to warn you against believing all you
read about the enormities that are chroni-
cled. Too often these are the production
of the imagination of sensational news
papers, and have no foundations in fact
In closing. DR.. Nelson said that the con-
tributions that have been made for the
prosecution Of work among the negroes
in the South have been deplorably mad

RICHMOND L. S FAIR
IF SHE WANTS IT
Ter-cen,enary for This G. City n Nov ,''
Seems Assured-Committees
Hard at Work.

While Richmond's chances Of getting
the great Ter-Centenary Exposition OF
1907 are steadily improving, the chances
Of Norfolk would seem to be Diminishing.
The Committee on Legislation named at
the Joint meeting Of this city's interests
on last Wednesday has been steadily at
work among the legislators and has Sc
cured practically enough Pledges to hold
up the entire matter for some time 10
come. The adjournment of the Legisla-
ture yesterday until next Monday was
favorable to this city, as now 1t Is. prac-
tically settled that the Norfolk charter
cannot possibly come up for action oeiere
next Thursday or Friday.
Every day gained is regarded as point
in Richu,ond's favor. This adjournment
will give Richmond time to send it's COM
mittee before the Board of Aldermen on
next Tuesday night, at which time that
body will undoubtedly approve the plan
of holding the exposition here, ana it is
possible that there will be q special meet
ing Of the Council to approve the plan
and adopt resolutions. This, it is be-
licyed will make Richmond S claims for
the great celebration as strong as those
Of Norfolk.
s COMMITTEE WAS ACTIVE.
Colonel John Murphy and the other
members Of the Legislative Committee
were extremely active YESTERDAY. On the
previous day they had secured tho pledges
OF many legislators to delay the matter
until Richmond has the chance OF sub
hitting definite proposition
AS 4 matter of fact, public enthusiasm
in the matter is running. high.
President Morris, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, is enthusiastic about the pro-
posed exposition, and the members he has
appointed on the various committees ar
equally. enthusiastic.
Representative Kelley yesterday said
that there was little change IN the status
of the affair. He is still confident that
il Richmond wants the exposition, ana
will! so declare through her City Councll
following the action OF the Chamber OIL
Commerce, there is little doubt that she
eau get it. Senator George Wayne An
derson thinks the same way
There is now little danger Of the at
tempted railroading by Norfolk of the
charter granting to that city the eSclu-
sive right OF holding the Exposition.
There win be no appointment of commit
tees until Monday, and the committees
will not be in working shape until. at
least, Thursday. Thus the committees
to which have been referred the Norfolk
charter cannot move until that time.
President Morris, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, said last night that the COM
nittee which will ask the Aldermen and
souncll.len for. approval of the EXPOSE
ton scheme would not be named until
to-day. This committee will appear as
a whole ehefcre the Aldermen on next
Tuesday evening. :. :sSEfs
