THE NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN
COUNCIL.

The Afro-American Council is in
session this week at Louisville, KY.
Its proceedings will be watched with
keen interest throughout the country.
It's main purpose is to be sentinel on
the watch tower of the races liberty
and rights and to sound the alarm
when they are attacked and to call our
people and their friends to their de-
tense. 1t seems to us that here Is q
great opportunity for our leaders. II
self-seeking and personal exploitation
be omitted in their deliberations, If
an earnest, cogent, dignified presenta-
ton of all the iniquitous schemes of
our many enemies be prepared with
the essential facts educed and submit
ted to the great conscience, the Chris
tian heart, and justice loving sensi-
bilities of these United States, a long
step will be taken in the struggle be-
tween righteousness on the one hand
and on the other the balefuI forces
and the ever increasing powerful in
1uenceS whichare fnimical to our pro-
gress towards a full measure of man
hood and to that position in the econ
omy OF American life.
The men at the head of this CoIn-
Gil already have our confidence. They
have already won their spurs in diff
ferent fields of usefulness and we look
for practical results from the friction
of ideas at their Louisville meeting.
There are many matters claiming
their grave attention, not the least of
which is the consideration which
should be given to the prosecution of
the suits against the Southern consti-
tutionS and their disfranchisement
features. To a layman it appears that
the seminal proposition is to avoid
the smaller corallaries and aim to Sc
cure from the highest tribunal of the
land a clear-cut, direct decision upon
the Infamous grandfather clause.
A call from this body of eminently
distinguished cOlored men will no
doubt cause the subscription of an ad-
equate amount with which to push
such a case through all the interme-
diate channels of the law up to our
Supreme Court and finally extract
from that exceedingly deliberate body
an authoritative deliverance on the
subject. ,+, ,i.,..

THE AFRO-AMERICAN PRESS AS
ISOLATION.

Word has come to us by way of
Kentucky, that a meeting of the Ma
tional AfrO-American Press Associa-
ton was held in that city, June 29th,
that resolutions were adopted, and a
letter addressed to the people of the
United States has been issued. This
is the extent of our information, and
we are forced to guess at to what the
other business transacted was. We
suppose that the same officers were re-
elected, that the next place of meeting
was designated, and SO on ad infni-
tum. This Association which should
have great power for doing good and
for enightening public sentiment, has
been gradually going down for the
past three years.
At the meeting in Philadelphia,
some three years ago, five delegates
were present and the meeting was held
and officers elected before two of these
delegates could get into the place of
meeting. The year following this,
the meeting was held at ST. Paul,
Mimi, and the same election pro-
gram was gone through with the same
Jew men at the head. There is said to
have been four delegates at the st.
Paul meeting. Now comes the meet
ing at Louisville, KY, this year with
out any previous announcement and
we learn that there were just three ac-
tive newspaper men present To use
a slang expression, Mr.. Cyrus Field
Adams. who seems to be the whole
thing in the matter and who publishes
a newspaper somewhere in Illinois,
Minnesota, or Missouri, is running
things pretty much to suit himself
There ought to be Negro Press Asso-
siCtiOn in which the publishers of all
live newspapers are interested, elect
ing their officers and committees from
the ranks. instead of the under handed
way that matters have been conducted
for the past three years. What say We,
brethren of the press?

A TIMELY SERMON.

More than usual attention has been
attracted to a sermon preached on
Sunday last by Rev. Sterling N.
Brown, pastor of Lincoln Temple ,on
the demOraliZing effects of too many
of our colored dancing schools and
social clubS 1t was most powerful,
eloquent and timely effort. There is
no doubt that incalculable injury is
being done to many OF our most prom
ising youths of both sexes by the in
discriminate admission to these re-
sorts, and especially by the failure
of some of the managers to deny adj
mission to the very youthful. Parents
are themselves not blameless. The
pursuit of their own pleasures and
preferences have but little time to
enforce healthy restrictions upon
their minor children or to ascertain
with definiteness where and how these
youths are occupied when absent from
their homes. We hope to see this Sc
we're but justifiable arraignment 81

The Colored American is devoting
considerable space this week to a
sketch of Hon. John G. Capers, u. S.
District Attorney. as we'll as Republi
can National Committeeman for South
Carolina and to some details Of his Of
ficial and political activities.
Mr.. Capers comes from a long line
of Democratic forbears on both his
fathers and mothers side. and he was
himself a Democrat until the silver
heresy was injected into the vitals of
the Democrats party. Like many 9th
er brilliant young men of high social
standing and advanced thought. he
found the heresy intolerable and at
once DraVeIy renounced his allegiance
TO the mossbacks and joined the party

The colored American., 1903-07-04


1t always affords us great satisfac-
ton to observe and point out the ca
reer of successful colored men and the
number of them is constantly enlarg-
ing. One of the very best types pro-
duced by the race is Mr.. j. H. Lewis,
the energenic and prosperous mer-
chant tailor, of Boston, Mass. Mr.. Lew
is is in the prime Of life and has made
a phenomenal success by the appllca-
ton of integrity and correct business
principles, to his occupation. He left
his home in North Carolina in 1865,
and made his way to Concord, N. H,
where he secured employment almost
Immediately, though it was not very
remuneration. Finally he was fortu-
nate enough to secure an apprentice
ship at the tailoring business and
rapidly acquired full knowledge of it.
After only four months service he was
making journeyman'S wages and hold
ing his own with all the other en-
ployees of the shop. Mr. Lewis strik-
ing success was not achieved In Con-
cord, but began almost at once on his
arrival in Boston, whittier he moved
four years later and bravely began
business for himself.
1t is related that his business ven
ture was started with a capital of but
$93, but he was master both of his bus
mess and himself and in nine years he
had done such volume of work that
he was able to save $4,000.
He has been in the tailoring busi-
ness now for 81 years and the amount
involved exceeds $135. 900 per annum.
His customers are the rich and power
full people of Boston and are almost
exclusively white.
One notable quality in Mr.. Lewis is
his absolute devotion to his business
affairs. He suffers no one to do the
things the master should do. and he
illustrates the truth of the old adage
that If you attend to business your
business will attend to you
He is equally blessed in his domestic
lie, his home being a perfectly hap
py one, and yet he finds time to be
pubic spirited in a great many direc-
tlons. He is an enthusiastic member
OF the National Negro Business League
and at its first session in Boston. dur
ing the month of August, 1900. he
made most telling and timely sDeecb
OF good cheer and encouragement to
Negro business enterprises.

and mechanical institutions of the
South reach an element of our race
that would never be touched by Har-
ward or Yale, or by Howard or Lin
coin. In providing for the masses,
they perform service which they
alone can render, and giving instruc-
ton that is essential and fundamental,
they furnish the beginning upon which
superstructure of the higher culture
may be builded later. 1t is signi1-

two other boys he was fishing outside

the land rapidly receding, plunged
into the water and swan for shore.
The other boy was unable to swim so
far and remained in the boat without
food or water until picked up by the
Eldorado. He says he was adrift for

$500 in Rewards.

A special from the State Wednes-
day says the governor offered a reward
of 5000 for the arrest and CONVICTION
of James Evans, the mulatto who Is
alleged to have killed the aged farmer,
Mr.. Phillips, as he sat at his supper
table in his home in Norway. Ii one
man could collect all of the rewards
outstanding for recent acts of lowleSs-
ness in that section of the State ne
would receive over $1,000. In addi-
ton to the 5000 for the conviction OF
James Evans, there is reward OF
$3.50 offered for the conviction OF the
man Green, who in such dastardly
manner killed a Jew peddler, Zurasky,
while the latter was begging for life.
There is also reward Of $500 for the
