a MEETING CALLED.
Colored Citizens to Discuss Lynch.
ing and its Causes.

Rev. NJ. G.. Johnston, pastor of Lad
son Presbyterian church.. Columbia,
S. c., has issued a call for q meeting
Of colored citizens of this and ad-
joining counties on Tuesday, August
25. The following is the call:
To All Colored Citizens Of Richland
and Adjacent Counties: You are in
vited and most earnestly requested to
attend a convention to be held in this
city on Tuesday. August 25, for the
purpose Of taking under consideration
lynchings, it's causes and its remedy.
And also to consider ways and means
pertaining to higher moral elevation
of the race. We also note the sad
fact that every year hundreds Of our
people leave their farms in the coun-
try and crowd into the towns and
cities, where they get little or moth
ing to do and very often some Of them
commit crimes that are hurtful and
humiliating to US all. All the above
merits our most serious and prayerful
consideration, prompt and decided ae-
tion.
If all we hear and read about the
race be tru then we have work to
do which can only be done by an hon
est, faithful and united effort on the
part Of the best thinking people OF our
race.
While there no doubt will be some
among US who will not join in such
an effort for the moral uplifting of
the race, 1 am satisfied that there are
thousands Of men and women who
stand ready to DO everything in their
power for higher moral elevation Of
the race. Therefore We appeal to all
ministers of the pospel, teachers Of
private and public schools and lead
ers of the rate to attend this conven-
tion, and let US see where you stand
and what side you are on.
a number Of speakers will address
the codvcntion and a number OF papers
will be read. Nothing Will be dis
cussed but the moral condition Of the
race, lyuchingS, itc causes and its
curses. We expect to secure reduced
rates on all roads leading into Colum-
bia. Names of speakers and rates to
the convention will be published later.
This call to the convention is endorsed
by the ministers union Of Columbia.

RAINFALL VERY LIGHT.
The Weekly Report Of the Weather
and Crops.

Section Director J. W. Bauer has
issued his report on the weather and
crops for the week ending July IS. 1t
is as follows:
The week ending a, No., Monday,
July 9th, had a mean temperature OF
SIS degrees, which is practically nor
NAL. There were no very cool nights,
nor hot days, making the temperature
conditions quite favorable. The winds
were generally light, variable and
very dry. Thsre was more than the
usual amount Of bright sunshine. The
relative humidity was unusually low
throughout the week, that caused veg
citation to wilt considerably in the
day time, but it generally freshened
during the nights. but this condition
was favorable for Kidding fields of
grass by cultivation.
The weeks rainfall was very light,
averaging only OH inch for the State.
and consisted of widely scattered
showers. These showers were benef-
cial where they occurred. There is a
need of rain indicated for all parts Of
the State, although early corn is the
only crop that has as yet suffered to
any material extent. The rain is
needed to counteract the severe work
ing that crops received in Kidding them
of grass. Laying by is either finished
or well underway, and but few fields
remain grassy. The drought is most
severe in York and adjacent counties.
Corn is firing in the eastern coun-
ties. In places old corn is safe, in
other places it is in a critical condition
for want Of rain. Young corn is gen.
orally promising, but needs rain to
maintain this condition. Some fodder
has been pulled.
A general summary of the condition
of cotton shows that on clayey lands,
and over the western counties, the
crop has improved, but that on sandy
lands, ard over the eastern counties,
except parts Of Hampton, Barnwell,
Orangeburg, Sumter, Marion and
Marlboro, the conditions are less prom
ising. The cotton crop would be ben
Gifted by a general rain. Sea island
cotton is in excellent condition.
Tobacco curing is making lapid
progress, andin places is nearly finish
ed, the crop is about half gathered.
Some is burning" in the fields. Mar
keting is underway. and prices are un-
satisfactory.
Early and late planted rice are do
ing well, whilei&ermediate paintings
are poor and grassy in the Colleton
district. Peas are not doing we'll.

PLUCKY YANKEE GIRL
Furnishes a Masher for His Insulting
Attentions to Her.

Armed with a whip which she took
with her from her pony carriage, Miss
Mary Reed, daughter Of Police
Lieutenant John Reed, of Philadel-
phia, followeda masher into the Lake
wood train at Winslow Junction
Thursday night and administered a
Sound thrashing. The man only
escaped worse punishment at tie
hands Of the father of the girl through
his train pulling out before the lieu
tenant knew what was going on.
According to the story Of eyewit-
nesses, the man left the Atlantic City
train at the junction to make conpec-
tion with one to Lakewood. Miss
Reed was waiting for her father, who
had been to Atlantic City in charge
Of one of the police pension fund ex-
cursions, to drive him to their country
hone at Elm City.
While the yonng man and party
of friends were waiting for their train
he amused himself by making insult
ing remarks to the young lady, who
sat in her pony carriage. She could
not resent his unwelcome attentions
on account Of her horse being restive,
and be at last took hold Of the horses
bride and held it in spite of the girls
protests.
Just as the Lakewood train pulled
into the station and the young man
ceased worrying the girl in order to
catch it, her father arrived on the
scene. Without telling him Of her
Intentions, the girl handed him the
lines, and seizing the whip from the
socket ran to the car which the young
man had entered, and, catching him
in the aisle, belabored him soundly
until he cried for mercy.
The affair happened so quickly
that none of the friends Of the man
had time to interfere and Miss Reed
ran out of the car and jumped from
the platform after the train had be-
gun 10 move. When. her father heard
the sorty from her he was furious and
made an effort to have the man ar
rested further up the line, but did
not succeed. Miss Reed is twenty
three years Of age and very pretty.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.
Remarkable Resolutions Adopted by
Negro Methodist Conference

Remarkable Resolutions Adopted by
Negro Methodist Conference
By denying the negro social equali-
ty, Southern whites befrieno him, de-
clares a resolution adopted by the con-
ference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, recently in session
at Macon, Ga. The South is declared
the best place for the negro, and the
crimes which provoke lynching are
condemned. In part the resolutions
are:
eve commend the Southern white
man becauses he refuses to let negroes
drink at his founts, eat at bis cafes,
sleep in his hotels, for the following
reasons: 1t forces the negro to build
his own resorts, teaches him business
and turns a flood Of money to negro
vaults and bank accounts. 1t gives
bis boy and girl work and establishes
thrift, industry and economy.
"We condemn the heinous crimes so
often charged to our people. Such
crimes are brutal, vicious aud deserve
the most severe punishment that the
law is allowed TO infict. They mar
our civilization, hinder our progress
and stamp US as villains.
eve equally condemn and regret
that it is evident that the mightiest,
civilization on earth should resort to so
inhunan and bloody WORK as to lynch
a fellow being witheut due process Of
law.
I'VE believe, after carefully recit-
ing facts, that the negro is as safe, or
safer, in the South than in the North.
Safer, because he can earn living in
any vocation in the South that he pos
sesses ability to do. Safer, because no
Southern preacher is on record as hav>
ing pleaded to 5000 people to burn a
human being"
