Mr.. Chappelle in the vaudeville
premiership of the flower State" In
1900 he cast his fortunes in the same
business, but on a larger and more
comprehensive scale at Tampa, Fla,
where he now conducts the Bucking-
ham Theater. the best known amUse-
ment resort in the section, and the only
place of the kind owned and managed
by a cOlOred man in the South. His
success has been phenomenal, and its
secret is that he engages only the very
best artists, regardless of salary, and
lives up to every obligation promptly
and cheerfully. He is shrewd enough
to know that true business principles
must underlie every permanent enter
prise. To be q member of his staff is
regarded by performers a testimonial
of excellence, and is SO accepted by
other managers when making con-
tracts.
This coming season he will put out

present situation clearly and makes
some decidedly sensible and practical
suggestions for the betterment of the
Negro actor and Negro manager, whose
interests must naturally go hand in

"It is unfortunate that coIored peo-

They do not pull together" The
white performers are organizing to
fight the Negro. If the Negro does not
do something in the line Of organizing
why he will soOA find himself in an
awkward position. The time is COM
ing fast when he will have to look only
to the coiored manager for engage
ments, as the white performer is clos
ing every door against him. The col
Ored managers are also to blame, for
they too ought to organize as it seems
that the whites do not want to see any
cOl0red manager carry on business sue
ceSsfully. Therefore the Negro pro-
prietors should organize for mutual
protection. Since starting in business

The Census Bureau has issued buiie-
tins giving the white and coloreA
population, for States and Territories
as far down the list as Kansas. They
contain about twO-ffths OF the cOlOred
population OF the country, and, judging
from the rate of increase as shewn by
them, we can get a pretty accurate
per cent. Of what the colored popula-
ton was in June 1900, when the
census was taken. The list includes
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Califor-
nia, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware.
District Of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Indian
Territory, and Kansas. In 1890, they
contained 2,329, ,227 persons Of Negro
descent In 1900 they contain 2,858,-
642, an increase of % 72 per cent. This
indicates that the total population Of
Negro descent in 1900 was about 6, 0,167.-
900. The percentage OF increase OF the
total population, as officially an
nounced, is a trifle under n Der cent.
Should the rate Of gain for the Negro
population in the States already re-
ported be maintained, and there is
every reason TO believe it will be- it

This has happened only twice before
in the history of the country, 1910, and
1880. It will once more arouse the
country to the dangers Of "a black in

condition between the races With the
exception of the two decades above
noted, the percentage of Negro to
- ~ h. l.
clined from 100, when it stood at
1927 to 1890, when it had fallen to
11.93. The gain in 1910 was accounted
for by the increased activity in tire
slave trade, which was lawful until
1903. The increase in 1880 was ac-
counted for by the alleged faulty
census Of 1870. The census Of 1890 is
considered the most perfect
census Of all. How are they going to
account for this squirt Of the Negro
in 1900, in the face of an
enormous white immigration? We
may be sure it will be accounted for TO
the detriment of the colored people, by
calling attention to their lower average
Of living.
The country should catch It's breath.
We are not going to have "a black iR-
natural means will develop
