this was distributed among the larger in

er has time and again tried TO impress
these two facts upon cOlored people.
First, that there must be complete sep
aratlon in the South between the races.
1t Is simply out of the question to talk
about mixing up in any way There
must be separate schools and separate
hotels and separate churches and sepa-
rate institutions generally. Otherwise,
there will be clash, and whenever there
is clash the black man will suffer.
There is no use discussing the why's
and wherefores OF this proposition. 1t
is perfectly plain to every sensible man
in the South, whether white or black.
Secondly, we have urged that if the
black man is to succeed it must be
through his own merit and exertion.
The Northern people have done him a
cruel wrong by coddling him and MAX
ing him believe that he was the ward of
the nation. 1t is merit and merit only
that wins in this country. Our Govern
ment was founded upon the principle of
self-help, self-development, indepen-
dence, manhood.
Under these restrictions, we believe
that there is a future for the black man
III the South. We believe that the COL
oTed people may make a society for
themselves and that as their society i'm
proves there will be among themselves
more and more a demand and occupa-
tlon for educated men and women of
their race

Coal Greek, Tenn, May 20. - The
worst disaster in the history Of Ten

yesterday morning, when between lis,
and 225 men and boys met death at the
FratervilIe coal mine, two miles from
this town, as a result Of gas explo-'
sion.
Out Of the large number Of men ana
boys who went TO work developments
last night showed that only one In
he cannot live. This man was William
Morgan, an aged Englishman. who was.
Q road man in the mine. and was blown
out OF the entrance by the force OF thG
explosion. One hundred and seventy

in the Coal Creek district having been
opened in 1870. II is fully three miles
from the mines opening TO the point
where the men were at work. They
had not been at work long before the
terrible explosion occurred. There was
fearful roar and in an instant flames
poured out OF the entrance and the ats-
shafts. AS soon as possible two res

earth until a heavy fall of slate was
encountered. AT this barrier men
worked like demons, hoping against
hope that those beyond might be safe
The scenes at the mouth OF the mine
while the workers were within were
beyond description. Business had BEEN
suspended in Coal Creek and all its!
mines as soon as the news of the dis
aster became known, and men, women
and children gathered around the Fra
terville entrance. Women whose hus-,
bands and sons were within were wild
with grief.
All day long the rescuers toiled at
the slate obstruction and not until s
o'clock last evening did they force an
entrance through it. Up 20 that hour
only five dead bodies had been recov-
cred and hope was still high that many
within were safe. The hopes OF the
living were doomed, however, Tor

say we are cooperating with them when
we are not.

white presidents Of their schools; so
since that Is true, let us have black
