Big Man and Little Woman.

She was demure little woman with
a baby. AS the car was crowded she
did not put the little one, who was old
enough to sit up, on the seat beside
her. She carried it on her lap, and
made room for a fierce-looking, big
man with a newspaper.
The child kicked its tiny fact in de-
light at the strange things it saw while
riding along, and its shoes rubbed
against the big mans trousers.

men who are and would be the des-
pollers of our womanhood. But a new
era has dawned. A new generation
mas arisen and the colored woman of
to-day considers that the advances. of a
white man toward her are not an honor
but humiliating disgrace There are
colored women who mutually associate
with white men in the wrong, and
there are white women, North and
South, who mutually associate in the
downward Verges with Negro men.
But the great mass of each stand for
the highest morality, and black men
are becoming like white men-an un-
lawful approach to the women of their
race means death" All of which I
would respectfully call to the attention
of the broad and liberal minded men
and women Of the South who are
beginning to recognize "the hopeful
outlook" for the Negro. The truth,
with mOdicum Of temperate state
ment, must be told on both sides of the
race problem. All Negroes are not
angels. And the same measure of con-
tention, neither are the white people.

speakers at the Lincoln Club banquet
He discussed the Negro question, argu-
ing that the Negro ought to be dis
franchised in the South and Southern
representation in Congress reduced
During the afternoon he read his
speech to Senator Dolliver at the lat
ter's request, and Senator Dolliver was
the next speaker on the banquet pro
gramme. For more than an hour Sen
ator Dolliver argued against Wises
proposition urging amendments to the
Constitution and the duty of the nation
to elevate and educate the Negro up to
citizenship standards
Mr.. Wise was visibly surprised at the
turn of Dolliver's speech, and it was
easy to see his anger rising. Twice he
interrupted the speaker:
What would have been your speech
had you not read mine?" he asked with
some heat, and loud enough for the
whole audience to hear. Doliver made
soothing reply, and then proceeded
with his argument, while the toastmas-

But another word on this question
of the "unmentionable crime business
It is the word of a prominent colored
woman and was delivered last summer
before the convention of the Illinois
Federation of Colored Women held in
the city of Evanston, Illinois. Its sub
subject was, What of the Night?" and
in the course of the. address she said:
For two centuries the white men of
this country have considered, not only
the co1nely, but the uncomly coiored
women their legitimate prey for lille

as we'll as throughout the north and

sweeping declaration is scarcely an
accurate statement of the case. :. The
burden of the Negro's contention is,

other phase of this question which re-

discussion of the lynching feature Of
the race problem. l recall a tragic
incident that occurred in an "up"
county of one of the Southern states
several years ago. Two young white
men, of respectable parentage, way
lay and outrage a young colored
woman. The young woman's brothers
in turn waylay and kill one of the
young white men and severely wound
the other. The prominent citizens Of
the locality in their turn organize

LETTER TO MIR. T. B. STEW
 ART, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: Let's have little private talk by ourselves on bus- mess; nobody else, please, read. You want to know how to do a cheap job of painting, and have it look good. Here it is: The cheapest there is in the way of a good-looking job say nothing about it's being good-is Devoe; the regular thing is Devoe.
 The reason is: Devoe goes fur ther than anything else. Lead and-oil is good-looking; don't go so far and costs nothing more. The other paints are more or less short in one way or another; don't go so far and costs more than Devoe.
 Devoe costs least of all; you don't mind its lasting longer, do you? We can't help it; a paint that goes further, lasts longer; we can't help it.
 Yours truly

HOOKER EXAMINED
 CONDUCTORS GRIP.
Found That Atwood Was Not Armed Before Assaulting
 Him-Omcers Vigilant to
 Prevent Mob Violence.

Little Rock, Oct. 29. Houston Hooker, the negro porter who killed Conductor P. D. Atwood on the Pine Bluff accommodation train Tuesday morning near Far rell station, is still in jail at Ben- ton, according to all reports. It is said, however, that Sheriff George R. Kelly takes the pris- oner out of town each night and hides him in the woods near by, as the talk of lynching has not entirely subsided.
 Deputy Sheriff Brown, who captured Hooker, was in the city yesterday. He said that while in the baggage car with Hooker riding to Little Rock, he asked the negro if he had not feared that the conductor would kill him when he (Hooker) pulled his pis- tol, to which Hooker replied that he was not, as he had looked through MT. Atwood's grip at Redfeld, the station below Far rell, and found his pistol there, thus making certain that the murdered man was unarmed. It is also said that Hooker was read ing paper when Redfeld was reached and neglected to call the name of the station, for which he was reprimanded by the con- ductor. The shooting followed about fifteen minutes afterward.

FATHER AND SON
 CHARGED WITH CRIME.
Rest in Same Jail at Jonesboro Awaiting Trial for Murder
 of a Kinsman.

Harrisburg, Oct. 28. Sheriff Bradsher has taken Jos. Wright and son, John. to jail at Jones' horo, where they will await the action of the Poinsett county grand jury on a charge of assas- sinating Wm. Durham near here last Monday.
 The two Wrights, father and son. waived examination here and were committed to jail with out bond. Young Wright is only IT years old.
 When the coroner's inquest was held here a verdict was rem dered to the effect that Durham came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by an unknown person.
 Suspicion later pointed to Jos. Wright, the dead mans father in-law, and John Wright, his brother-in-law, as the probable perpetrators of the crime, as it was said that there had been i'll feeling for some time between the Wrights on one side and Dur ham on the other. The arrest of the Wrights followed.
 Durham was assassinated on the highway, alongside the field belonging to Jos. Wright, and it is claimed that a cartridge shell was found inside the field, the supposition being that the assas- sin dropped the shell there.
 Wright and his son are charged with murder in the first degree, which is not a bailable offense. Poinsett q nty is without a jail at present, hence the prisoners were taken to Jonesboro.

Wild Bill Evans, the evangelist, did the preaching, and his big tent, with capacityof seating 5000, was crowded at the service. When the revival was brought to a close it was found that nearly 100 persons had been converted, half that number joining the church. There were, in addition, a number of baptisms."

Railroad Incorporation Board Re fuses Charter to Fourche
 River Company.

Little Rock, Oct. 28. The ac- tion of the state board of rail- road incorporation in refusing to extend the charter of the Four che River & Southern Railway Company, as asked by the Bry- ant Lumber Company, places that company upon precisely the same basis as the Fourche River Lumber Company with refer ence to the construction of a rail- road.
 Neither company has a charter from the state for the building of a railroad. The Fourche com pany, however, has built a log ging road six miles in length, to be extended another three miles, a portion of it over the land of the Bryant company. Now 1t is likely the Bryant company will proceed to build a logging road to it's own timber.
