The organization OF tne Town OF 1nuustrlal oul
of a section of country that really ought to be
part Of Salem may afford convenience to the people
in that boundary, but it does not appear to be
good thing for Salem. There will be more or less
conflict between the two town governments and
may eventually lead to an estrangement that will
be very detrimental to the people in both towns.
Too much care cannot be exercised by council
in the selection of good men to take charge OF
the fire department. They should be thoroughly
reliable cold headed and attentive to business.
The positions are very important and it is imper-
alive that they be ever at their post ready at all
times TO respond quickly to alarms.
The council has a nasty problem to solve at its
session this Friday nightn reference to the selec
ton Of chief of police The one chosen, as
already stated. should be in thorough accord with
the administrations. Be careful not to elect one
who will embarrass the mayor and police force in
carrying out the laws.

66e Best You Can

What to frown when things go wrong?
A frown won't set them right,
Be brave of heart, and sing song
To make the burdens light:
That is true quite believe;
He is the wisest man
Who sings when care and trouble come,
And does the best he can.
The man who broods DER trouble finds
His burden heavier grow,
AS he climbs up the hill of life;
The wisest man does not so.
He gathers flowers beside the way:
He says to fellow men-
Lets make the most Of pleasant things.
And-do the best we can"
In thinking Of another's need,
We oft forget our own;
So let US think Of others more .r
Not of ourselves alone. -,-~
Keep up a brave and cheerful heart,
'Tis aye the wisest plan
To sing when care and trouble come,
And-do the best you can.

GAMES TODAY.

Memphis, September T-(special.)- )-Tc- days game was forfeited to Memphis to 0. Manager Jackson demanded that the guarantee fund be deposited before going on the field, thinking that Frank would try to collect $50 he claimed Blr- mingham owed him from the last double header played in Birmingham. Frank re- fused to rut up, and Umpire Cline did the rest.
 The uniforms of the Birmingham team were attached late this afternoon, and suit brought for S250 The entire team was lined up in Justice DAVIS court at 10 o'clock tonight, being anxious to secure thelr uniforms that they might play Lit tie Rock tomorrow. The trial was, how ever, postponed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Manager Jackson says that despite all these drawbacks he will fill his Little Rock engagement.

 Today's Session.
 The convention will assemble this morn ing at o'clock and song service will be conducted by the Revs. J. B. Henderson of Florida and J. A. Dennis of Texas.

NEGRO BAPTISTS
 HOLD MEETING
(continued from Fifth Pase.)

CT T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala, Professor Council of Normal, Ala, and other progressive, conservative and emil nent colored men throughout the state of Alabama. Education, the great civil lizer, when acquired in conjunction with an occupation that is suited to their conditions and ability, Is what is needed, and is taught in such schools as I have mentioned, and is, in my opinion, the solution and the only solution of this great problem.
 'The entire population of the colored race in the United States, based upon the census of 1900, was S,OOO0O0; Alabama, with a population based on this census, showed that out of a population of 1,SOO,- 000 that S00,000 are colored people. In other words, one-tenth of the entire col- ored population of the United States Is in the state of Alabama. While this state can boast that she has the most modern and best equipped schools for the colored race of any state in the United States, still there is great room for improvement, and I hope to see a number of other such agricultural schools established.
 'When I look back and see the condi- tion in which the colored people were left at the close of the war in 1S65-ignorant, illiterate, unlettered no lands, no per- sonal property, nothing at all on which to begin life, and as I stand here today and see the progress you have made I think you should feel proud of your selves, for you have made greater pro- gress in this short space of time than any other race of people in America. I again extend to you. as the representa- tive of this city a hearty and cordial welcome"

He delivered an address of welcome to the convention in the name of the negro ministers of the city. The Rev. A. N. McEwen, D. D., spoke for the negroes of Alabama and in his ad- dress he said that Alabama was the greatest state in the union.
 The Rev. George w. Lee the largest and perhaps the most eloquent speaker in the convention. spoke at length in re- sponse to the addresses of welcome. He said that he was proud of his race. that he was born in the south and would be willing to die and be buried down here We are not trying to get away from you, for when the negro down south suf- fers 1 am willing to suffer with him.
