BURNED THE MORTGAGE.
oiIqrim Baptist Chuch Is Out OF DEBT
and Rurns the Old MortQaQe:

There were many prayers OF THANKS
giving offered up when on last Wednes-
day evening the pastor of Pilgrim Bap-
tist Church in the presence OF an au-
dience which filled all available space
in the church set fire to the mortgage
which has been hanging over the
church for many years. In l9OO the
mortgage amounted to $4,000, and. the
CONGREGATION being unable to pay, 1t
was foreclosed and they found them
selves in the street together with the
gas fixtures and the pews. Finally
compromise was made with the hold
ers of the mortgage. The congrega-
ton got possession again by taking
new mortgage of $500 and paying
off $4,000 Of it Immediately. This left
a mortgage of $4,000 still to be raised,
and it was this mortgage that was
burned last Wednesday night.
All the Baptist churches were repre-
sented, and congratulatory speeches
were made by Rev. H. B. Steelman OF
the Woodland Park Baptist church and
DR.. o. A. Williams, superintendent OF
the Baptist board of home missions
Addresses were also made by the pas
tor Rev. D. w. Carter. Geo. w. James.
J. H. Hickman, Rev. Geo. w. Gaines OF
St. James A. M. E. church and F. L..
McGhee. The choir furnished a
special program which was very pleas
ing. including a quintette by Mes
danes, L. H. King, w. Green, W. D.
Carter, H. High, Miss Hattie Grissom
and solo by Mr.. S. Edward Hall. 1t
was announced by the pastor that
balance of $50 was due to- clear the
church entirely of debt and collection
was raised to wipe it out so that when
the mortgage was burned there would
be no debts. The people responded
literally and when the amount of $49
was reached Mr.. J. @. Adams of The
Appeal stepped forward and paid the
last dollar and freed the church entire
" of the debt The ashes of the mort
gage were purchased by Mrs. W. T.

Address OF the National Afro-A -Ameri-
sa. M can Press Association. s. @

To the People of the United States.
+ At the twenty fourth annual meeting
Of the National, Afro-American Press
Association held at Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist Church, Louisville, KY, Monday,
June 20, 1903, the following address
was adopted: ..t- sr.-' @s. --.
The National Afro-American Press
Association at it's twenty-fourth an
nual meeting in Louisville, KY, feel
that in the present crisis in the history
of the American people, when a
systematic and thoroughly organized
movement. begun in. 1858, is working
with malicious and malignant energy
to utterly destroy the civil and politi-
cal rights of those for whom we stand
in some part as spokesmen, it. is neces-
sary to re-afirm and emphasize the
following principles fundamental in
citizenship and generally championed
by all Afro-American newspapers, and
to request the masses of the people to
live up, as far as they can, to the letter
and spirit of these principles.
We resent the reiterated state
ment that this is white mans coun-
try" It was made in it's inception and
development by all OF its people, IRE
spectiye of race, and the Federal Con-
stitution specifically places all of it's
citizens on equality before the law.
With our heterogeneous population of
all of the races on the globe, if dis
tinction and abuse of race on account
of race should ever become a fixed pol
icy of the Government, the disruption
of the Government would be inevitable.
God has created no one race to lord
over any other race, for ''of one blood
made He all mankind"
The persistent effort which has been
made and is being made to nullify the
suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution is fraught with as
much danger to the peace and security
of the Federal Union as was the effort
to hitch slavery upon the Constitution

To buy piano is a serious

because they know absolutely
nothing about the construction
or the requirements necessary
for durability as we'll as tone
quality and are therefore UNI
able to determine it's value
which may subject the buyer
to great financial loss, leaving
them easy prey for unscrup-
ulous statesmen assisted by
the paid advice Of a supposed
friend, to substitute a var
nished thump box for a must
cal instrument with music.
Do you care to take the risk?
Great are the obstacles in
the way of judicious selection
OF a piano when a buyer has
no personal knowledge for
they must rely almost wholly
on the advice of the dealer who
can make the way plain for
buying advantageously for the
most inexperienced buyer, if
he so desires, and he will glad
~ do it If he is honorable.
Therefore it is important that
you should use good Judgment
in selecting dealer. He
should be one whom you know

you can go personally at any
time for explanation and adj

You can readily understand
why as a rule it is advisable to
sspatronize home industry
This rule will apply in almost
every line, particularly in buy
ing a piano as the dealer is
easily accessible in case atten-
ton is required. beside having
sold the instrument it is to !
his interest to see that it is in
good condition as standing
endorsement for him, and a
very important consideration
for the buyer, an advantage he
will not have buying from a
distant dealer.
Not having the ready money
to pay for the piano need not
stand in the way of purchas-
ing. Your home may have
the advantage of a musical IN
strument. You can buy on
easy terms, paying for it in
small monthly payments that
will suit your circumstances.
We are making prices on in
struments very much lower
than ever before offered in
this part of the state. IF you
think of buying a piano in the
near future it will be to your
interest to take advantage of
this money saving opportunity.
