HIS COLORED FRIEND.

THE Richmond, Va, TMEs-DIsPArcH
in its issue of February 2Sth, pays the
following tribute to the "old issue" Ne
gro:
Senator Tillman has on his planta-
ton in South Carolina a Negro man
named Joe Gibson, who has lived with
him for thirty years. Joe has charge of
the premises, carries the keys and takes
care of everything in Mr.. Tillman's alb
sence. In speaking of this man the
other day, the Senator said:
Il do not know whether belong to
Joe, or Joe belongs 70 me. Anyhow,
we have been together for thirty years,
and we have agreed TO live together un-
til one or both of us die, and when go
away, If go first, know he will shed
as sincere tear as anybody. 1 would
die to protect him from injustice or
wrong
This is one of the old time Negro
gentlemen of whom we have often
spoken. They are an honor to their
race, and to the ole Mis- who trained
them. White men are proud and for
tunate to have such Negro friends The
pity is that the dear old gentlemen are
fast dying out"
There is enc important thing which
Senator Tn.LMAN failed to state in his
references and that is the amount of
salary he was paying this faithful ser
want of ante-bellum days. AS he doesn Z
belong to JOE, we presume that he
thinks that JOE belongs to him.
But the white labor unions are on the
field of action now and they are success
fully demanding the discharge of these
old-time Negroes and the installation of
the new time white men in their places.
This has constituted the cause of some
of the bitterest contests ever known in
this section. To be plain, it is this old
time Negro element that makes the pre-
cipitation of race war impossible.
almost their lives to help and protect
certain colored people for whom they
have formed an attachment and there
are colored people who will do the same
thing for certain white people, whom
they respect, esteem and love.
A singular case of this appreciation
occurred in this city at the Chancery
Court, then presided over by the late
Judge j. @. LAMB. Mr.. JOHN M SHEP-
HERD was the janitor and no colored
man has ever been appreciated by his
white friends more than he. The white
mems unions demanded his discharge
and insisted upon white man being
appointed to his position. Judge LAMB
refused positively to do it.
Mr.. SHEPHERD retained the position
up to the time of Judge LAMBS retire
ment and death. But "another king
arose, who knew not Joseph" The
clamor for SHEPHERDS place continued
and Judge LAMBS successor removed
SHEPHERD and appointed white man
in his place. 1t was but few weeks
later that the Angel of Death lowered
over SHEPHERDS household, the dread

summons came and the spirit went to
the other world where no doubt, he and
his white judicial friend are basking in
the smiles Of the Almighty.
Ii the rising generation of colored
people could be made to see ami under
stand, could be made TO take 6 course
of practical instruction in that Chester
fieldian system of that ante-bellum Vir-
ginla politeness, we sometimes think
that our paths would lay through more
pleasant places and our friendships
formed with white men would last up
to the grave.

the PLANET for publishing the public
letter of Rev. w. L. JOHNSON, b. ID.
These people seem never to tire of
abusing people who do not agree with
them. The colored people of this COM
munity desire peace and are weary of
the intestinal broils. The time has
come for us TO relegate these mischiev-
Gus forces to the rear. The race is now
confronted with great questions and it
will take the combined energies of us
all to win out.
This influential northern society is
being placed in a most unfavorabie
light before this community by its
short. sighted partisans. An eXplana-
ton was published in the NEWS LEADER
o. last Tuesday that did not explain,
but ON the contrary tended to aggravate
what had already been said. The Dea-
con Board of the Ebenezer Baptist
Church is composed of as conservative
body of Christians as are to be found
in any part of this state.
Rev. w. H. Stokes, whom these peo-
pie essayed to criticise is one of the most
brilliant, God-fearing, ''Ininding his
own business" divines TO be found any
where in this country AS pulpit or
ator, he has few equals. His character is
above reproach and his courteous, Chris
tian bearing has marked him as a divine
of remarkable qualities. Why should
they want to go into the public press
and attack him, simply because he dis
agreed with them on a matter of minor
Importance?
And they attacked Rev. SCOTT Q. BUR-
RELL, the General Secretary of the col
ored Y. M. G. A, Christian gentle
nam, so mild in his temperament and
courteous in his disposition that a two
year-old child will instinctively APP
proach him without hesitation. They
misrepresented him. Is it possible that
these alleged Christians venom has no
limits?
Rev. BURRELL'S record is known of
all men. He is one of the most influ-
entail Christian workers among all
classes in this city to-day. And yet he
was not spared by the leaders of Obi
bic Conference" 1t seems to us that
these leaders of this Bible Conference
need to read that good Book and profit
by its instructions even more so than
these people whom they are inviting to
attend the meetings. Of course this
brother from North Carolina sells BIZ
bies ana this awakening or interest in
the reading of them may serve a two
fold purpose.
These people are never so happy as
when they are engaged in trying to
break some colored man down. Rev. R.
V. PEYToN, that remarkable pastor of
the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church
was similarly treated, despite the fact
that he had made a record in his pres
emit field of labor that is mar Velous.
They attacked that superb Christian
leader, Rev. DR.. w. T. GRAHAM and
now they direct their vitriolic weapons
upon the Ebenezer Baptist Church, it's
Deacon Board and its pastor, threaten
ing them through the columns of
the white daily press. Well, they are
in the wrong stream for their own sa fe-
ty and when Ebenezer is attacked, it
rallies as one man. Let us have peace!

IL seems that his referees in the
southland have been Democrats and his
appoiutees have been Democrats. There
Is but one referee to which he has made
no reference and that one is Prof. Book.
Err L. WASHINGTON, the South's colored
idol. 1t seems that it is to him that he
looks for guidance in the matter of the
lew Negro appointments which he
must make in order not to be amenable
to the charge of drawing the color-line.
President ROOSEVELT continues:
"In view of all these facts, I have
been surprised and somewhat panied
at what seems to me the incomprehen-
slble cutlery in the South about my ac-
tlons-an cutlery apparently started In
New York for reasons wholly uncon-
nected with the question nominally at
issue. L am concerned at the attitude
thus taken by so many of the Southern
people; but am not in the least angry:
and still less will this attitude have the
effect OF making me swerve one hair IS
breadth, to one side or the other, from
the course have marked out-the
course have consistently followed in
the past and shall consistently follow in
the future"
The above assertions have a kaleides-
cope effect and may be seen from many
view points. How do the colored folks
| regard the outlook? Colored men who
have been recognized in party affairs
aud held office will be recognized no
longer. A new party is upon the scene
of action and while the "lily white Re-
publican movement" will not be recog-
nlzed as such, the result will be the
same and the large majority of office
holding Negroes will be sent to the
rear
This is in effect President RoosE-
vELT's declaration, made over his own
signature. Again, we ask the colored
people &c couple this with SeoFetaFy
RooT's candid assertions that "In a
short time, the white man will succeed
in excluding the black man from all Of
fees ia the southern states" and YOU
have solution of the puzzle.
We had hoped that we were mistaken
in conclusion which we have enter
tanned for some time, but if we are to
do as the President tells the south
ern white men to do, judge him by what
he does rather than by what he says,
who can doubt but what we have ex-
planned the solution to the seeming prob
lem?
Well, it will be bitter awakening to
some of the colored brethren down here,
but there is some satisfaction IN know
ing that Con reigns and the colored vote
in the doubtful states of the North
land" still lives.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1903-03-07

CoLoRED men, the outlook is bright,
despite the ominous mutterings of our
enemies. They are making inroads no
doubt on our TANKS, but the right of the
line and centre have gone SO far
ahead along the road of progress that
the success of the Negro-haters is only
temporary and can have no material
effect on the permanent result of the
engagement.
