Money must be earned and saved. We
must seggregate and colonize. When
we secure finance, il must be kept

build and patronize our own there will
be different state of affairs in this To-
cality.
We should launch out in all branches
of business. We should establish boot
and shoe stores, dry-goods establish
ments, grocery stores, millinery estab-
ments, in fact, everything that the
white man has put into operation. We
should have our OWL publishing houses,
newspapers and they should be literally
supported.
The disreputable, insulting Negroes
in our midst should be sent to the rear.
They disgrace not only themselves bat
us as well. We know that there are
similar elemests among the white peo-
pie, but they can afford TO tolerate those
kind ofpeople much better than we can
afford to do 1t. Unfortunately, we are
ON trial before the world, Every bad
act on our part is magnifed and every
good one is minimized.
We are fighting an uphill battle and
good behavior and true polteness will
prove one OF our strongest and most
powerful weapons. Let them disfran-
chise us! Let them spur us on TO buy

have the proud satisfaction of seeing
the nations of the world laugh at the

Interesting Sights From the Eruption

Sept s.-The sights In the windward

September are very interesting. The
OF fire a quarter OF a mile wide. The
greater part OF the Raabacca estate
Is wrapped in vapor, and there are
mimic eruptions everywhere. The river
bed Is continually throwing up col.
umns and dense clouds OF steam, mud
and pebbles. The land has spread
farther seward, and is changing con.
siderably the appearance OF the dis.
trict from what II was prior to Sep.
TENDER 5. This was probably caused
by the ejecta that flowed down the
slopes filling the sea about the coast.
Fifty laborers. deceived by the ap-
parent Quietude of the volcano, were
working within the fire zone at the
extreme north of the island, when
they surely saw evidence of an ap
preaching disturbance OF the noun

spot before electric flashes and an
outpour OF gases drove them To their
shelter. where they remained. at the
base OF the mountain, throughout the
terrible night. while forked lightning
darted in all directions around them
