NO WARD BUSINESS FOR US.

DR.. c. L. Parks of Atlanta, Georgia,
is sponsor for new scheme to settle
the problem" The fact that the pro-
position originated in Atlanta is
enough to damn it in the eyes of all
thinking Afro-Americans, for it is a
notorious fact that there is more race
prejudice to the square inch in Geor-
gia's capital than in any other city on
the continent.
This scheme, which has been ap-
proved by the Rock River Conference
of the Methodist church, provides for
memorial to Congress to put the
ro-American on the same plane with
the Indian, making him a ward of the
government and then proceed to edu-
cate him along some special line not
yet mapped out, but as the author Of
the resolution is a Southerner, it is
easy to infer that he will get very lit
tie education-just enough to make
him a good Niger
The Afro-Americans are getting
along very nicely under the present
system, except that there are not
schools enough. If any change is
made, the government ought to close
all separate schools and compel all
citizens to send their children to the
same schools, of course giving the
teachers now employed in the separate
schools the right to teach in those
open to all regardless of color or creed.
Really Rev. Parks proposition is
very nervy one. Think of it! He pro-
poses to take native born citizens and
make them wards. Instead of uplift
ing the race he would degrade it.
The Afro-Americans are native born
citizens; they pay direct or indirect
taxes; they obey the laws; they are
subject to military duty, and in return
they demand the same rights as other
citizens. They believe that their chill
dren should have the same sort of ed
ucation that the children of any other
citizens get. They will not stand any
ward business.

SOUTHERN SCHOOLS OF CRIME.

Rev. DR.. w. P. Thirkield, CORE
spending secretary of the Freedmen's
Aid and Southern Education Society,
in delivering the opening address be-
fore the Evangelical Alliance at Gin
cinnati, Monday, charged that crime in
the South was due to the chain gang
prison system. He made strong ar
raignment of the schools of crime
maintained in every Southern state
through their brutalizing and dehu-
manizing influence on thousands of
Afro-Americans. =. %~.a@ - "a
Few white men are sent to the chain

In the course of the trial of James
H. Tillman at Lexington, S. c., for
murder, the state had on the witness
stand Capt. John Livingston, who sup
ported a Republican for Congress.
Judge Gary ruled that the fact that
Capt. Livingston supported a Republi-
can against a white Democrat might
be brought out and that the jury with
this information could decide whether
it was against the reliability of the
witness. Judge Gary explained that
the fact that the white man voted
against the white mems candidate
might have some effect as to the wit
ness's credibility, in view of the Pc
culiar condition existing in this state.

George .Guenther, wealthy white
farmer living five miles from San

lean housekeeper about two weeks

all kinds of trouble. Three times his

severely wounded.

A party of white men near Hender-
son, Texas, concluded they'd have
some fun by flogging an Afro-Ameri-
can named Robert Williams, who was
charged with some alleged offense.
Williams warned the party not to ap-
proach, but they continued to advance,
when he fired, killing one man and
wounding another. The Afro-American
should not be looking for trouble, -
but when attacked without reason, he
is justified in protecting himself.

that New Orleans, Memphis, Houston

cities of the South within the next fifty

one poor deluded Afro-American at

Mrs. Douglas Dickinson, who lives on

The reward of 500 which Mrs, Dickinson
offered for the recovery of the diamonds
is now in the possession of Arthur Bates,
an ice wagon driver.
Bates delivers ice at Mrs. Dickinson IS

that he found the diamonds at Seventy
first street and First avenue, Bay Ridge,
where he stopped yesterday morning to
give his horses "a breather.' To his friends
he confided a more detailed and slightly
different story.
When Bates stopped to give his horses
a "breather,' as he says, he got off his
wagon and sat under the shade of a tree
to have quiet smoke He had lighted
his pipe and was contentedly putting away
when he noticed bag near the edge of
the roadway.
The bag was dust covered and almost
concealed by some grass and leaves Bates
remembered that his tobacco was loose in
his pocket.
THAT bag will be Just the thing to hold
me tobacco, he unused. "I'll get it on me
wav back to the wagon"
Then he forgot all about the bag until
he had leisurely finished his smoke. On
his way back to the wagon he noticed the
bag again and picked it up. He had to
unite string 10 open it, and when he saw
the glittering stones he remembered the
story of Mrs. Dickinson losing her
diamonds.
Without thinking about his customers
who were waiting for ice he went straight
