The resolutions adopted by the con-
ference of presidents of southern negro
industrial and mechanical colleges,
recently held in this city, in which
political offices were not referred to or
even squinted at as being necessary to
the welfare of the negro, is attracting
some attention in the north, where the
recent spasm of intense solicitude for
the negro exhibited itself and they are
putting some of the editors and speak
ers of that section to thinking. Read
between the lines those resolutions
very eloquently read to President
Roosevelt and his advisors, "Let this
negro question alone. You are simp-
ly making conditions harder and doing
the negro positive injury. Chat

DISTINCTIONS For Fishermen.

Edw. S. Harris, President of the Shad
Fishermen's Protective Association has
written to Col. G. w. Raymond, who
has the Delaware River Improvements in
charge, relative to the interference OF
dredging operations with shad fishing in
the Delaware River this spring. In re-
ply Col. Raymond states that no dredg-
ing will be done to the westward OF
Cherry Island fats. The contract pro-
vides for dredging in the vicinity OF Duck
Creek flats and their work is on a time
limit. While the dredging will interfere
with shad fishing the company will at
tempt to reduce the necessary interior
ence as much as possible.
An accompanying letter from the
American Dredging Company states that
under present plans they expect to have
in operation seven dredges and as so per
cent. of the work under the contract is
covered by the Duck Creek section and
a it is desirable to hold work upon Sa-
lem Cove Reach on account of its more
protected position until fall, they pro-
pose to concentrate operation on the Dan
Baker and Duck Creek sections. One
two dredges will be used on Dan Baker
shoals and five or six on Duck Creek sec
ton. To confine these dredges to a dis
lance of % miles for two months would
not permit them to work without serious
prejudice to the work under contract.
The Company regrets that the work may
injure the fishing interest and cannot ap-
prove OF the suggestions of the Associa-
ton to have the work restricted but will
attempt to reduce the necessary interior
ence as much as possible.
President Harris has also written the
Light House Board concerning the re-
mova| of large buoys which interfere
with shad nets.

sell, of S%harptown. The evening was
very pleasantly spent in playing games,
singing, and dancing. At a late hour the
company reluctantly made their way out
to the r~efreshment table but with no re-
luctance did they begin to make things
disappear, and some how or other, all the
good things soon found their way to one
end of the table, but you could excuse
them and as Hollis said, GOOD fruit
hurts no one."
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.

Minnie Baker, Gertie Whitesell, Bertha
