these fifteen simply because they were
 determined not to have anybody in
 their employ who did not do her work
 well. One weakness pertaining to the
 whole matter of domestic employment
 in the South at present is this: It Is
 too easy for our people to find work.
 If there was a rule running through
 every family of those who employ per- sons to the effect that no man or wo-
 man could be hired unless he brought
 a letter of recommendation from the
 person in whose employ he was last,
 we would find that the whole matter
 of domestic service would be lifted up
 hundred per cent, but so long as
 an individual can do poor work for one
 family and perhaps be dishonest at the same time and be sure that he or she
 will be employed by some other fam
 ily without regard to the kind of ser- vice rendered the last employer, so long will domestic service be poor and unsatisfactory. And then 1t seems to me that those who employ our people should in a very large degree try to protect their moral life. No people can are not kept clean, whose moral life is impure. A great many of our men are ruined because of the fact that they get the greater portion of their living from the back door of some white mans kitchen. The colored wo- man who supplies them with this food is responsible for great deal of idleness among our people. The employers should see that this source of supply is cut off and then a great many of the men who lounge about the streets will be forced to go to work. All that I have tried to say to you is very serious matter for our race, not only for our race, but for both races. Many white people seldom come in contact with the negro in any other direction, except that of dornes- tic service If they get poor idea of our service in this respect, they will judge that the entire life of the negro is unsatisfactory from every point Of view. We want to be sure that where ever our life. touches that of the white man that we so act that the white man will get the best impression of us. In addition to what I have tried to say in this regard, we must learn more and more to draw the line between the good and bad; between the pure and impure. Let the line be drawn strictly no matter who is disappointed or does not like it. We must place a stamp of

 southwestern part of town. The smoks stack on the oil mill. together with part of the roof. was blown down. en- tailing a loss of about s200. A barn sitting on a hill at Mrs. Hettie Bur toms home, was completely wrecked. but there was no loss of stock. Quite a number of negro cabins were blown down and a frame house under con- struction in the negro quarters was razed to the ground. A native oak In the lawn in front of Colonel E. M. Olt- ver's home. was torn up. number of smaller trees were also broken, the awning in front of the dispensary was carried away and a mule at the home of Clopton Germany, some, miles west of town. was killed. eS4-,<
 The citizens of Lafayette were bad Iy frightened. No other damage in the County has been reported and there was no loss of life.

reward upon right living and stamp of condemnation upon wrong living. More and more we must learn to save our money; get a bank account. Every colored man and woman in Montgon1- cry should have a bank account. No race of people can ever be respected until 1t learns to save money and own their own homes and live cleanly and respectfully. This, I am glad to say, that a large proportion of the colored men and women in Montgomery are doing. Notwithstanding all the fault that I have found l recognize that no race under similar circumstances has made greater progress within thirty five years than is true of the negro race.

permit: at the same time proper and reasonable regulations and require ments should be firmly insisted upon and enforced. There should be mutual lfberality. Most of the railroad lines centering here have acted in this spirit: while valuable franchises have been granted them, they have reciprocated by the erection of magnificent and convenient passenger and freight depots and termi- nals and doing all in their power to build up our city and serve the public justly and well.
 There are other corporations, also, who I believe endeavor to live up to this spirit; those who do not should be made to do so."

THE PASSING THRONG.

Police Captain John W. Martin reached Montgomery Sunday morning from Brooklyn, N. r., where he has been with relatives for about ten days. His friends gave him a cordial greet ing back home. Some of them met him at the depot and went with him to police headquarters. All of them as- sured him of their unshaken confidence in him and of their disbelief in the charges that have been industriously circulated against him. Captain Mar tin has not yet taken up his official duties, but as no charges have been preferred against him, his position with the department remains as 1t was be- fore he left. His friends feel confident that he will be able to entirely vindi- cate himself in the next few days.
 MT. F. O. Hooton, Editor of The Alexander City Outlook, Is in the city to look\ on the Convention which as- sembles today. Mir. Hooton is very enthusiastic over the talk of the ex- tension of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad from Wetumpka to Alexander City. The distance is only twenty eight miles and the new road will open up a territory heretofore undeveloped and will be the means of greatly in creasing the commerce of Montgom- cry. He reports Alexander City as be- ing on a steady growth. the abundance of its mineral resources Is steady factor in the industrial welfare Of that section. A live Commercial and Indus trial Association has been organized
 antivn energetic. MT. Hooton hopes to make arrangements with Commissioner Poole to have an exhibit of Tallapoosa min erals at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo.
