turn to Africa.

Nashville, Tenn, April s.-Bishop
a. NJ. Turner, senior bishop of the
African Methodist Episcopal church,
was in the city presiding over meet
ing of the board of the Sunday
union. The bishop sees no hope for
his race in this country. In discussing
the future of the race he says: ''The

Tertiary. So far as his civil and polit-
ical rights are concerned or his social
status he is now a nonentity, and his
condition is destined to be worse The
remedy is, do as God would have us

of God to learn obedience, to work,
to sing, to pray. to preach, acquire
education, deal with mathematical alb
straction and imbibe the principles of
civilization as a whole, and then re-
turn to Africa, the land Of his fathers,
and bring her millions to God. One
black missionary or teacher can do
more good in Africa that 20 whites.
It is far the greatest continent on
earth, and the black man is crazy for

MCPHERSON DECIDES.
Makes a Ruling Against A. S.
Rurnell in the Tracer Nam
damus Suit.
Court Orders Interstate Tracer
Property Turned Over to J.
7. Hair.

Boardman, Aldrich & Lawrence, at
torneys for James 7. Hair, have re-
.caived word from Dess AIoines that the
case Of James r. Hair vs.. A. S. Burnell
and j. Fl. Egermayer, as, president and.
secretary Of the Interstate Tracer
Company, has been decided tn favor Of
Mr. Hair. and writ of mandanus or
dered issued against the defendants az
prayed. The opinion is by Judge Nc
;oherson of the United States court and
is a review of the entire litigation and
the law point > involved. Ii seems that
in 1856 MIR. Hair obtained q Judgment
against A. S. Burnellefor some $4,000.
Since that time MIR. Hair and his attor-
neys have been constantly endeavoring
70 enforce payment without success On
the 3lsts of last August an execution was
Sis,sled against "A. s. Bnrnells and his in
2telest in the Interstate Tracer COM
pany was levied upon. Subsequently
under execution this interest was soidto
Mr. Hair. An examination Of Mr.. BUR
nell before the United States commits
s'ioner disclosed that Burneil was the
owner of all the stock. $50, 900 in amount.
But Mr.. BurneIl claimed to have sold all
this stock prior to the levy to j. III. Egg
ermayer, the secretary of the company.
Mr. Hairs attorneys discovered in the
examination OF Mr.. Rurnen and the
stock books Of the corporation that the
stock vas not transferred to j. III. Eyer
mayer upon the stock books of the COM
pany untilstbree days after the levy. AS
Mr.. Burnel and Mr.. Egerrnayer refused
to deliver the stock or turn over the
company property to Mr. Hair and re-
fused to honor his bill OF sale from the
United States marshal, {, suit was
brought before Judge Mcpherson fray
ing for an order of court compelling
them to do 50. This suit ssthes one Just
decided and the decision declares that
Mr.. Hair ia the sole owner of the COM
spany and all tS stock. and has been
since Sept. 0100, and orders the prop
serty turned over to him by Mr.. Burnell
and Mr.. Egerniayer. Ii is, ex pected that
the writ will be enforced unless there il
prompt obedience to the commands of
the court. The suit and the case is
somewhat further complicated by the
fact that A. S. Burneli on Dec 1850,
incrtgaged all the property of the Inter-
State Tracer Company TO the AlarshalI-
town State Bank. and that they claim
the property. Plaintiff claims that this
mortgage is colorado and that in fact
