BISHOP is THANKFUL.
Lauds President Roosevelt for Having
the Courage to Eat at Table
With the Black Man.

The general committee of the Freed
man Aid and Southern Educational So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal
church began two days business
session at Lincoln, .Nsb., Monday
Bishop James N. Fitzgerald presided
Nearly all the bishops of the church
were in attendance.
Extended reports were submitted by
the general treasurer and correspond
ing secretaries. The report Of the
board Of managers showed that II, ,i61
pupils are attending the schools main
tained by this society. This surpasses
all records in the history Of the socie-
ty. Appropriations have increased
and the faculties have been material
ly added to. The total receipts Of the
society apd schools for the year
amounted to nearly s5oO,0o0.
Short addresses by number of the
bishops following the reports were
marked by the freedom with which
they discussed the attitude OF the two
leading political parties toward the
negro race Bishop Cranston criticised
the national party in power for its al
legged remissness and declared his be-
lief that it was time for the Christian
people to desert any organization that
thought more about itself and Its poliS
tics than about the welfare OF "a pec,s
pie down trodden and in need of as
sistance. ~
Bishop Hamilton evoked applause
by an eulogy on President Roosevelt,
saying in conclusion: 81
II thank God that we have presi-
dent who is not afraid to sit down with
a negro and to show him the respect
that is DUE
Bishop Walden said he was glad
they had a Senator Tillman in the
south, because he was needed to stir
up things.
Bishop Hamilton made the princi
pal address of the day. He said that
the Leland Stanford Junior university
cost $30,000,000, and that notwith-s
standing that great outlay Of money
it's instruction was confined to about
1900 or 1900 students a year. The
Methodist schools in all the south cost
about the same amount OF money and
they were called on to educate $4,000
persons a wear.
Bishop Hamilton said that Booker
T. Washington was not the first per
son to introduce industrial training
among the negroes.
y, The Methodist schools did that long
before Washington began his work
More than 10000 capable school teach
ers were the result of the Methodist
education in the south. Bishop Ham
ilton said that race could not be ele-s
waited by industrial education alone.
The head and heart must be taken
care of as well ais the hands and other
parts Of the body.
"The north must solve the negro
problem" the speaker declared. The;
north signed no protocol that would
allow southern sentiment to prevail in
the settlement of the negro problem.

six.Year-oId Negro Criminal.

A Charleston news item states that
charged with the larceny of silverwaTe

Peas, colored, aged six years, will be

to his own statement he has been
stealing since he was four years OF
age, but he has never before been un-

Inspectino Railroads Of the State.

On Monday last the railroad com
mission began to inspect the roads OF
the state this being their annual trip.
This annual inspection always results
in new depots at some Of the small
towns and better bridges at some
points. The Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta branch of the Southern will
be inspected from Charlotte to Angus
ia, and. the Carolina Midland railroad
from Blackville to Hardeeville. These
Inspections were delayed by the re-
quest of the Southern's general super

Senator Tillman Pleads for Keith.

SendIoF liitH!dH FIeaoS ioT NS'e'''
The following is from a recent issue
of The Atlanta Journal:
United States Senator Ben Tillman,
of South Carolina, will appear before
the Georgia prison commission this af-
ternoon in behalf of Robert A. Keith,
an Atlanta man, who shot and killed
Jesse A. Wall in Atlanta in the sum-
mer of 1901. Keith is serving a life
sentence in the Georgia penitentiary,
having been convicted OF murder in
the Fulton county superior court.
Before coming to Atlanta Keith was
a resident of Edgefeld county, South
Carolina, the home of Senator Till
man, and the South Carolina political
leader knew the boy from infancy. He
has interested himself in his behalf,
and will appeal to the prison commits
sion this afternoon for pardon.
Senator Tillman and Senator A. S.
Clay, of Georgia, were callers at the
capitol and made the engagement with
the prison commission. During their
visit at the capitol Senators Tillman
and Clay called on Governor Terrell
for a few minutes.
The crime committed by Keith is
we'll remembered in Atlanta He be-
came suspicious of his wife, thinking
she was intimate with Wall, and called
to see Wall about it. The two men
engaged in fight and Keith shot
Wall, killing him. On the trial,
against the advice of his attorneys,
Keith pleaded guilty and received a
life sentence. It is now urged in ex-
tenuation of the crime that as soon as
Keith approached Wall the latter
threw his hand to his hip pocekt and
made an effort to get out a pistol.
Keith's wife and his six-year-old
daughter will be present at the hear
ing before the prison commission this
afternoon. Senator Tillman is very
much interested in the matter and
will make a strong argument today
for the release of his friend.

Hold to Your Friendships.

A man should start out in life with
the determination never to sacrifice his

or sacrifice a part OF his manhood and
a part of his success. There must
be a live wire kept continually be-
tween him and them.-Success.

For thought to dwell upon.

In every place. and look!

TAXED 70 PERSONS OR TO IANDa

.
The Grand Forks Herald thinks that
all mans taxes. whether real or per-
sonal, should be kept in one place
against his name, and if SO kept that he
wonld never be mistaken as to whether
his taxes were paid or not, and wants to
know why this would not be the best
way.
Taxes are so kept in some states and
in Canada. II does not follow that it is
the best way or that the objections made
by the Herald lie against our system.
The basic idea of our present system is
that the person:is responsible to the state
and county tor his personal taxes, but
thar real estate pays or can be made to
pay ior itself. As to man omitting to
pay his personal taxes by error in this
state, it is almost impossible, as the
treasureris bound by law to notify every
body Of the amount due and when it
has to be paid. Then again, if the tax
payer still forgets or neglecls, he gets
another notice from the sheriff. later,
when the list is handed over to him for.
collection, and ifnot paid then the sher-.
if makes. 2 personal visit to enforce the
collection. Seems if'' that was enough
notice for the personal tax. Then as for.
real estate, q man pays for Just what.
lands Or lots that he chooses-to pay for.5
He isn't bound to pay for any il he don't.

PRINTED THANKS.

Public newspaper acknowledgements
of tavors shown may sometimes be, but
rarely are, in good taste. 1t is only po.
liteness to express gratitude on the prop
er occasion and in the proper. place, but
it is quite possible to overdo the thing.
Published thanks for kindnesses of
friends and neighbors in cases of death
and funerals in ordinary cases is unnec-
cesary and uncalled for. There is no
doubt ofthe gratitude Of the surviving
friends and the fact does not need publ
cation, any more than such facts as that
the surviving friends are also honest, or
truthful. or moral. In most cases, if the
persons obliged feel special obligation
it is a debt that can be discharged when
the death angel or other trouble comes
TO other households. No newspaper man
inserts a card Of thanks without feeling
of revulsion, not because it takes time
to put it in type but because it seems to
him so out OF place and unnecessary.
But bad as the funeral card is, the pub
lication oflists 81 wedding presents is far
worse. They are also in the nature 81

THE CHICAGO CAR STRIKE.

There is a street car strike on in Chic.
ago with all the. natural accompanying
disturbances of traffic and rioting. The
natural sympathies Of most people are
with the working men in such cases as it
is supposed that the strike is caused by
the oppression of the poor man by the
rich corporation. But the following is
stated to be the demands of the organ
lied unions of Chicago in this case;-
The company agreed to submit all de-
mands as to wages to arbitration, but
the demands it refused to arbitrate are
as follows:
"That every employe of the company
shall belong to the union and that every
non.union employe Of the company eth
er be compelled to join the union or be
discharged
That the emplo, es of the company
have the right to control what is known
as the routing Of cars, which includes
the assignment Of men and the selection
of working hours"
"That no employee of the company be
discharged from its service without the
consent Of the officers of the union, who
are to be judges of the conduct Of the
employees Of the company"
We think if such demands were made
of our employing farmers that they
,,,o,,J<l alco oh;ort ~ orh;<s,<;o, sc .,,aL
matters. It is simply asking that the
full control be handed over to the bosses
of the union. The power of hiring, gov
erning or discharging is taken from the
employer and handed over to the officers
of the union. We hardly see what is lett
for the employer except pay the wages
such wages as the employees demand
for such work as they may please to do.

ing his taxes for the current year find his
tax receipt stamped ssold for taxes, "aand
he gets another legal notice before the
tax deed is given. So we hardly see why
the owner don't get enough notice be-
fore his land is alienated entirely by tax
sale, which in itself is question.
The objections to the personal manner
of charging up all taxes are many, but
the principal one lis that a person, or
many persons, may have an equity in a
piece Of land, but not enough to have an
object in paying the taxes, or perhaps
not to pay them until some time in the
future. Others may prefer to wait until
the land is sold at the tax sale for the
purpose of buying iii at that time and
thus take care of the tax ahd establish a
lien to strengthen lien already held at
the same time.
Aud in this connection, we may say
that the law that requires the taxes paid
on land before the deed can be recorded
is hardship to many persons for the
same reason. Many times for good rea-
sons it would be desirable to record a
deed without paying the taxes, and it is
often rank injustice to the party who
finds it necessary to do the recording.
On the other hand It is Of no value to the
county or state as the tax due is secured
by the very best security possible and if
not paid bears high rate of interest.
The idea ofsecuring the land free of tax
10 the purchaser is all right, but that
same thing could be done just as we'll by
requiring the present auditors certificate

tying that the taxes are actually fully
