farmers are owners and operators on
1901 acres Of land, valued at about

these farmers operate on 10, 153 acres,
or an average of 1916 acres each.
These statistics gathered from the
latest official sources are conclusive
DroOf that the Negro lost great OppOr-

homestead laws during the COS, 70's,

grow up with the country.

PROGRESS OF a RACE.


PROGRESS OF RACE
Let us treasure up these records of
the Negroes progress, my friends
wherever they may be found. They
are few enough in any section At the
best, North, South, East or West. we
are strangers at home and aliens in the
place Of our nativity, with our privi-
legeS abridged, our rights denied, our
courage questioned and our manhood
disputed. So persistent1y have these
charges been made against US, that
many Of us ourselves have come to
adopt pesSimistic tone when speaking
Of the race, and it is well occasionally
to remind ourselves that examples of
conspicuous worth can be found which
prove that, in spite of the influences
which have operated to make him in
capable, where opportunity exists, the
Negro does possess the qualifications
which enable him to use it to his ad-
vantage"
Mrs. Clara Langhorn, Lynchburg,
Va, read a paper on Domestic Serv-
ice in Virginia and Carolina" Domestic
servants in the South, she said, were
invariably Negroes. She thought that
| the Negroes of this generation were
most unsatisfactory as servants, for
the reason that they are of the first
generation following the abolition of
slavery
The faults Of which we complain are
to a great degree the faults OF the
| servants elan the world over.
For the cOlored people much can
| be said to account for the serious
| faults which are an unceaSing source
| of annoyance and irritation to their
white cOmpatriOtS and employers
"The best sign for the Negroes of our
land is that they are fast separating
into classes, a fact to which their white
fellow citizens often fail to attach the
| Importance it deserves.
'"That a cOlOred family can own their
own home and the mother stay in it
to look after the interests of her house
| hold and take care of her children is
a great step upward for them, but does
| not cOnduce to the advantage of her
white neighbOr, who may be in need
| of a cook"
She suggested the establishment of
| schools for domestic art. schools
supported by the State should be
| opened in every community" declared
Miss LanghOrne, ''fOr the training of
| the Negro in the household art. The
| graduates of such schools could find
Immediately upon graduation places at
| good wages"
Mrs. r. II. Terrell spoke upon the
subject Of domestic service, expressing
the opinion that little progress would
be made toward a betterment of the
present unsatisfactory condition OF
service until mistreSSeS should become
more humanized. Other able speakers
took part in the discussions on various
subjects.
It is the consensus of opinion that
the interests of the race were puSheC
forward considerably.
AS a result Of these meetings Mr.
Booker T. Washington was elected
member of the Board Of Directors o.
this the most learned and scholarly so
cfety in the country. 1t really seems
as though we have a fighting chance

EMIGRATION BENEFICIAL.

"OnApriI +, 1898, a colony of Negroes
consisting Of thirty men, thirty-three
women and thirty-One children led by
John H. Lewis, q minister of the Cos
pei who is also a practical farmer,
left Kentucky for Minnesota having
in their possession about $1,000, or $500
for each family. They went to Fergus
Falls, in Otter Tail County, in the west
central portion of the State, and in
July Of the same year the writer met
Mr. Lewis, then Investigating as to the
best section of the State in which to
advise his colony to locate. The land
agents of the great railroad companies
Of Minnesota gave the leaders of this
noble band Of freemen every OppOrtu-
nifty to look over their vacant lands,
and number have settled in Aitkin,
one Of the middle Counties of the
State. Under date of November 10,
1900, Mr.. Lewis wrote: THE colony
has principally settled in Aitkin COun-
ty and around Mills Lac Lake-tkat is,
they bought and settled out there. Our
settlers had good crops this year. This
IS a fine grass country, fine hardwood
timber, and fine lakes. We have stood
the two winters very we'll indeed"
Mr.. Lewis, in speaking Of the great
er opportunities, and advantages, call
ed attention to the excellent school
system, as compared to Kentucky or
any other Southern State, Minnesota
having a school for every 220 of her
inhabitants, and a school term averag-
ing 100 days each year, while Ken
tuckyS school term averages only 115
days per year, with a school for eV-
cry 30 Of her population.
Much complaint was heard from the
white settlers, when it was first rumOr-
@d that black settlers were coming,
Dut now these same white settlers
pear testimony to the fact that the
Negroes have proven themselves good
settlers, and in this short time have
Oy their industry and toll, put their
cearings and buildings in such good
condition as to put to shame many OF
lne farms of long standing.

WIPES FEARFUL ORDEAL.
Her Policeman Husband Was Plan
 ming to Cut Her Up.

Bridgeport, July 9.-Only by the merest chance Mrs Henry Sutter, wife of Special Policeman Sutter, escaped being murdered by her own husband the other evening at their home on Gregory street. Sutter developed a violent form of insanity and was shar- pening long carving knife for the ex- pressed purpose of cutting her up' when Dr C. Rodman Townsend entered the house to visit Sutter whom he has been treating for several days.
 Dr Townsend quieted Sutter and had him taken to police headquarters and locked in a padded cell MT Sutter has been unwell for several days. He de yeloped the insanity suddenly the other evening when his wife was alone with him in the house. She was completely at his mercy for over half an hour, dur ing which time he was considering the best means of killing her.
 He went for a revolver and told his wife that he was going to kill her with it. He talked wildly about the caliber of the weapon and how quickly it 'billy T that as an agent of death ilretty near the equal of his revolver. He considered both weap- ons and finally decided not to use ei- ther. The carving knife was better, he said. and he began sharpening it for the operation. Mrs Sutter could not escape and she had to listen to the in- sane talk of her husband. There was no way for her to leave the house and she had about given up hope when the ram1Iy physician arrived.

THE TRUST COMPANY TAX.
New York Lnw will Furnish One
 Million Additional Revenue.

ALBANY, July 9.-The new trust com pany tax law is in operation. Comptrol- Ter Knight has received a number of re- ports from trust companies showing the financial statistics on which will be based the first annual tax of per cent to be imposed under the new law. This law which was passed by the last legislature, provides that the tax shall be imposed on the capital, the surplus and the undivided profits of each corporation. Two of the largest trust companies in the state are among those from which reports have been received.
 The Mercantile Trust company of New York will pay a tax of $65, 900 and the Morton Trust company a tax of $59,O0O for the first tax year. The estimate was made when the trust company tax law was passed that it would bring in reve- nue of $1, 100000 for the year, but the indications are that it will be over $1,- 600,0O0. Of the sum collected, however, a rebate of about $175,O0O will have to be made, as the trust companies under the old law had paid their taxes up to Dec. 1, 1901, and the new law created the new tax year as July l.. The rebate will be made to avoid double taxation. Comp trolIer Knight is greatly gratifed at the showing made by the new law 1t will bring in revenue of over $1 900, ,U00 per year greater than the old law.
