ment and advancement and sincerely
and confidently laboring to that end,
it is folly for us to ignore the import
ance of the ungrudging cooperation
on the part of the white people OF the
South in this work. Labor as we will,
those who do the lifting ofthe weight
must be those who stand next to 1T.
This cooperation cannot betorced,
nor can it be gained by gratuit ously
running counter to firmly fixed and
tenaciOusly held Southern ideas, or
even preiudices. We are not brought
to the point of doing or yoverlooklng
evil that the good may come when
we proceed upon the theory that, be-
fore reaching the stage where we may
be directly and practically confronted
with the question Of the negroes full
enjoyment of civic advantages, Or
even of all his political privileges,
there are Immediately before Us and
around us questions demanding our
immediate care. and that in dealing
effectively with these we can conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the encouragement
and assistance Of every thoughtful
and patriotic citizen of the land
wherever he may live, and whatever
may be his ideas reproductions con-
corning the more remote phases OF
the negro problem.
These questions that are so inn
mediately pressing have to do with
the practical education of the negro,
and especially with fitting him to
compete with his white neighbors in
gaining d decent, respectable and re-
munerative livelihood. Booker Wash
ington, in speaking OF the conditions
| and needs of his race, has wisely said:
at is at the bottom Oflife we must
begin and not at the top. Nor should
we permit our grievances to over
shadow our opportunities
''In summing up the whole matter,
there is one thing of which we can be
absolutely and Hnreservedly certain.
When we aid Tuskeegee Institute and
agencies like it, striving for the men
tai and manual education OF the ne
gro at the South, we are in every
point of view rendering him the best
| possible service. Whatever may be
his ultimate destiny, we are thus
helping to fit him for filling his place
and bearing its responsibilities.
1--WE are sowing well in the soil at
the bottom of life the seeds of the
black mans development and useful
hess. These seeds will not die, but
will sprout and grow, and if it be
within the wise purpose Of God, the
hardened surface of no untOWard sen
timent or prejudice can prevent thu
bursting forth Of the blade and plant

Dillsboro did not desire change in the
Nicholson law. Mr.. Lemon said that Rep
resentative Conway was the attorney for
the saloon keepers In the fight TO make
DiIlsboro a dry town" and this accounted
for his action in regard to the present bill
+. T. McWhirter made few remarks
and introduced a resolution. He called at
tention to the fact that IL well to be
conservative in such fight, and expressed
the belief that even If the measure were
passed all would be well with the Prohibi-
ton party and the cause would go on just
the same. The next meeting VIII be In two
weeks. Following is the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Mcwhirter and adopted:
Resolved by the Central Prohibition
Alliance of Indianapolis. That as repre-
sentatives OF large contingent or loyal
and patriotic citizens and voicing. as We
believe, the unanimous sentiment of more
than twenty thousand citizens of the State
of Indiana. we therefore deprecate the eff
fort which is being made TO weaken the
present temperance laws of the State of
Indiana.
Recognizing the legislative body as rep
resentng the whole people We feel that II is
not assuming too much to petition this
honorable body not only to maintain our
present standard Of laws against the liquor
traffic, but, facing the ultimate solution
of the much vexed problem of the liquor
traffic, we further petition that the voice
of the people shall be heard rather than
that of the brewer; that the rumored
proposition looking to the license fee of
81 900 for saloons not in excess of one saloon
for each thousand inhabitants is no more
nor less than bargain sale at the rate OF
81 per capita, in which the saloon interests
and brewers desire to purchase the privi-
lege OF debauching, pauperizing and MUIR
derng the citizens of the commonwealth
1--WE believe that the majority of the
people will uphold the Legislature I'm a
strenuous effort to maintain the rights of
greatest foe to permanent prosperity and
happiness-the legalized liquor traffic"

BOARDMAN BARN BURNS.
Many Head of Fine stock and Farm
Machinery Also Destroyed.

A fire of unknown origin destroyed the
large barn belonging to o. y. Boardman,
in Broad Ripple last night at IL o'clock
With the burning OF the barn twenty head
Of cattle, five head of fine horses, farming
machinery and a stock of hay and corn
were destroyed.
Mr.. Boardman was awakened about 10:45
o'clock by the noise from the burning barn.
He rushed out to find the two-story frame
structure in flames. He made an effort to
save the stock, but the intense heat drove
him back. BY this time the flames had
reached the middle of the building, and Mr..
Boardman sent in an alarm for the town
brigade. Owing TO the lateness OF the hour,
much difficulty was encountered in getting
this apparatus TO the scene. A telephone
message was then sent to the city, but
because of the long distance no fire wag-
ons responded. The fire was then allowed
to burn itself out. Mr. Boardman had his
barn and stock partly insured.
This is the second fire in that locality
within ten days. The first fire destroyed
the large barn belonging to former Sheriff
Albert Womack. including twenty head OF
fine Hereford cattle, several horses and a
stock of feed. II Is thought that former
convict set fire to Mr.. Womack's barn, and
ii is likely that he is responsible for the
fire that destroyed Mr.. Boardman's prop
erty last night.

COAL SHORTAGE REPORT
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WILL NOT
SUBMIT 1T TO-DAY.
1t Is Ready, However, and Will BE
Presented to the Legislature i'm
a Few Days.

The Joint legislative committed which in
dianapolis and the State at large will not
make a report to the General Assembly to-
day. as intended when the conference end
ed last week. The Reformatory bill is now
attracting the attention of both houses,
and. as one member of the joint committee
stated last night. the coal report will have
to take back seat for at least a few days.
The report will probably be prepared and
sent to the General Assembly the latter
part of this week.
The report will show that the committee
secured no information which would in any
way incriminate the operators, transporta-
ton companies or dealers, and that the
shortage was caused by the anthracite coal
strike, insufficient motive power to move
coal on the railroads and an increased de-
mand for Indiana coal from all over the
State and other States. The report Will
also show that the transportation COM
panies are doing all in their power to move
coal rapidly to indianapolis, and the opera
tors are also trying to relieve the situation.
AS far as the dealers are concerned, the re-
port will show that there was nothing
brought out that would in any way incrim-
mate them. The dealers admitted before
the joint committee that there is coal eX-
change In indianapolis and that an effort
was made last summer to fix a scale of
prices, but il was deemed advisable to not
adopt a scale of arbitrary prices.
The report will be based entirely on the
information that was secured by the legis-
lative committee and Senator Hendee said
last night that the committee ought to be
able to make a thorough report, in view of
the fact that officials of all the leading
transportation companies, the operators of
the State and the dealers of Indianapolis
were before the committee and closely
questioned regarding the shortage of the
coal supply in Indianapolis. Other persons
who might throw some light on the situa-
ton, including John Mitchell, were also
questioned by the committee.

ley, secretary OF the New York State
Fruit Growers Association, New York is
the leading apple producing State Of the
Union. with Ohio second and Pennsylva-

than 20,o40. 399 apple trees. but she stands
sixth in the matter of production. New

Middlebury Qnd) Letter in Indiana
Farmer.
Last spring 1 set out 200 Keiffer pear
trees, they are all living and made a fine
growth last summer. / have sent in my
order for 500 apple trees. 500 peach, 100
cherry. l shall set the apples two rods
apart, and plant a peach tree between,
with the expectation Of cutting them out
in a few years. Some seem to think it a
poor investment for me, being seventy-five
years old They say that / will not live
to eat of the fruit. That may be so, but
some one else will. / shall plant apples
and cherries along the roadside, that the
weary traveller may eat of their fruit and
go on his way rejoicing. 1 take this view
of 1t, If live to set them out shall enjoy
that, and If 1 live to them growing, L
shall enjoy that; If / should live to see
them blooming. l will have reason to feel
thankful and happy for then L shall know
that soon the fruit VIII appear to greet me
for my labor: SO / feel that 1 am receiv-
ing the good returns from day to day, and
let them that live after me reap the golden
reward and be made happy. 1 believe also
that we will be more happy in trying to
make others happy should we not taste the
task, hopeful planter; let us strew our own
pathway with blessings, while we labor
for our posteritys good.
This orchard will be composed of but
ter sorts; l have several varieties Of
peaches and cherries, the pears are all
of the Keiffer. 1 set them with view of
top grating a part of them to other kinds
as the keiffer is strong grower and not
susceptible to blight. / will by so doing
make better Clap's Favorite or Bartlett
trees, and have them in bearing i'm less
time. Is my theory a good one?
