The girls new bath house is being

long-felt want, and are to cost respec-
lively. $4,000 and $4,000.
The work upon the new, office build
Ing has begun in earnest. A large
force of men are at work laying, the
foundation. Before the school year
closes it is hoped that this building
will be nearly finished.
New machinery for the brick-yard
has just been installed The capacity
OF the old machine is 10000, and the
new machine is a duplicate of it. We

The munificent gift of $1,0O0,00O to
the Southern Educational conference
made by John D.. Rockefeller this
week. is said to be the first large sum
toward what is intended to be the
greatest movement for education in
the South it has ever known And
the beauty Of Mr.. Rockefeller's gift is
that it is to be used equally for the
benefit of the Afro.Amerieans and the
whites. 1t is hoped that all the other
gifts in this connection will be given
upon the same impartial basis.

Republican applause.)
Mr.. Gillett went on to tell of the
high honors won in New England by
Afro-American men Of worth, includ-
ing the selection of one as class ora
tor at Harvard this year. and conclud-
ed by saying that he did not ask the
people of the South to put aside their
prejudices, but he did insist that they
should not ostracise others who did
not believe as they did.
Mr.. Patterson, of Tennessee, said he

''vexed question" is as much in evi
dence as ever, though it is the most

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1902.

There was an interesting little tilt
LIZ the National House Of Representa-
. tiFes last Monday for which the color
question" was responsible. Mr.. Gaines
OF Tennessee, asked Mr.. Gillett : OF
Massachusetts. if the Governor of Mas
:sachusetts, when he went to the Nash
vile Exposition, declined to take with
-hiTn a member of his staff who was an
4Afro-Americar$::
III he did, replied MI. -Gillett, 1T
Was because he did not want to wound
the sensibiGties of the people of Nash
Ville.' Proceeding, Mr.. Gillett ex-
planned that in New England they
eonld understand the prejudices in the
South against Negro domination 2
but the people of his section insisted
that social ostracism should not be
visited on those who did not share
these prejudices.
When an Afro-American raised
himself above his fellows and led a
!. pure clean, manly life he thought his
worth should be recognized. He did
mot symDathize with state Of society
which accepted a man whose hands.

speech in congress the other day, said
''In Kentucky, and in fact in all the
South, We look with supreme con-
tempt upon the social. equality of the
races. The most ignorant white girl
in my state would infinitely prefer to

against the ro-Amerie is that it is
