And THE NEGRO

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Before a mis-
sionary .mass-meeting in Holy Trinity
Church, Brooklyn, called to discuss the
work of the Episcopal church among
the negroes, Bishop Burgess of the
diocese of Long Island, who presided,
declared that the fate of the church
and state alike is involved In the solu-
tion of this problem. If the white peo-
pie do not elevate the negro, he de-
clared, the negro surely will drag his
white superioTs to his own level. Chris
tianity alone could do it. he said.
The Rev. DR.. G. f. ]. Wrigley, arch
deacon of South Brooklyn, said he
feared that a mistake had been made
in the enfranchising of the negro when
he was hardly prepared for the solemn
duty. If this mistake had been made
he said, great must be the reparation
from the North in money and in work
to bring the negro to a state where he
might work out his own destiny In
dustrial education will be the means
for this, DR.. Wrigley believed.
DR.. Wrigiey asserted also that prac-
tically a state of anarchy exists in the
South to-day A great movement of
negroes had set in to the cities. where
they were living wretchedly and shift
lessly, and yet before the war they had
done practically all the skilled labor of
the South. The trouble. he believed.
had come from a misconception of
what liberty meant when the negroes
received 1t. Negroes in this condition
were a menace to the church, the state
and themselves. To remedy this they
must be educated-made to see God.
They should be given a chance for in
dustrial development. Then when the
negro had his chance II he took ad-
vantage of 1t he should be received at
his true worth as a man, despite his
color. In this work of regeneration the
North must bear the burden, for il
alone has the money.

ENTIRE FAMILY
IS MURDERED

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. S.-Some time
last night Benjamin B. Hughes, a
wealthy merchant and planter of Tren-
ton, S. c., and his entire family were
murdered and their house burned.
Investigation revealed the fact that
unknown persons, believed by the
tracks found to be three men, entered
the house, murdered Mrs. Hughes in
her room with an ak, then went to the
room of the daughters, Emma, aged 1s
years, and Hattie, aged IA years, and
murdered them in like manner without
the girls awakening. Hughes evident
ly heard the noise and went from his
room into the hallway, where he was
shot down..
A srecial train was sent to Columbus
for bloodhounds to track the murder
ers. The highest state of excitement
prevails through the community.

COOPERATION is DISCUSSED.

Professor c. W. Childs. who had
charge of the dried fruit demonstra-
ton at the Worlds Fair at St Louis,
declared that If the growers could get
their fruit shipped to the East without
charge they would still be unable to
dispose Of the crop unless they could
offer their product to the consumer at
a lower retail price than prevails at
the present. He stated that 121z cents
a pound is the prevailing price among
the Eastern retailers.
Mr.. Gordon of Sacramento said he
was much interested in cooperation
because Of its failures. He had tried it
with the raisin growers and found that
only the Intervention of the Almighty
could make all the raisin growers go
into a cooperative plan, and only by
all going into a plan could it be made
a success.
D. T. Fowler Of Fresno followed and
explained IN detail the various modes Of
cooperation.
The operation of the Southern Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange was described
by c. A. Day of Los Angeles.
Just before adjournment the commit
tee Of fifteen reported two plans of CO.
operation and the report as a whole
was adopted. These are the same as
reported yesterday.
The first plan provides the growers
wherever practicable shall organize as

and that these organizations form a
central agency through which the sell

sales are to be made at such times and

associated organization, shall deem
best. II there is no agency available

A r. Sprague, chairman of the COM

lowed with an address on the necessity
Of cooperation. He attempted a di-
gression which threatened to open up
the transportation subject, but was
called 10 order by r. D. Stephens. and
then confined himself entirely to the
subject OF cooperation. Sprague de-
clared that while in his opinion the
Rochdale system was the best which
could be adopted by the growers, it
was not at present available. The
profit sharing plan appeared TO him to
be more suited 10 the time.

asked if it was understood in
Maryland that Senator German would
be a candidate. Mr.. Jackson. said:
talked with him generally on va
riety of subjects. in all two or three
hours. at the State convention last
week, and nothing that he said would
