DO MORE AND TALK LESS.

A large number of Negroes of
means are always ready to solve the
Negro problem with their tongues, but
not with their dollars. How many
scholarships are being maintained by
Negroes of means at our various in
stitutions for worthy young people?
Is it not fact that most of the schol-
arships now available are given by
the benevolent whites? and are not
the funds raised by some of the white
missionaries societies contributed by
white people in moderate circumstan-
ces, many of whom forego their luxur-
les that they may save a pittance for
the cause of home missions, while
quite a number of the brethren
Ia black, who have been educated on
such missionary money are wining
and dining themselves galore, and
failing to remember that in the depths
from which they came, there are
thousands Of others needing the help
ing hand?
1t is a wonderful surprise how easy
it is to get up a hundred dollar list
for a banquet and on the other hand
how hard it is to get up such a list
for some good cause all of which ex-
hibits that there is a ''rOtten spot
somewhere sin Denmark"
We feel impelled to urge upon those
who can, to give more on the lines
above suggested. Let those who are
up help those who are down and in
tins way we shall have a quicker So
luton of the problem. We can not
afford to wait for our white friends to
do the work, both from a time stand
point and from a sense of duty.
Another matter we would emphasize,
Is that we extend a glad hand to those
with new and worthy ideas-pushing
a good thing along. The Negros nat

The general movement in Missis-
sippi to get rid Of Negro labor may
be going on, but we don't believe a
word Of 1T. A proper way to state it
would be, that there is a general move
ment to get along without Negro la
Dor, which is moving away very fast.
When we recall that the Rev. H. c.
Buchanan has just been driven out of
the State away from his property and
home and a printing establishment,
doing large business, and all be-
cause his using horse and buggy and
piano were considered as .-bad ex-
amples' for the other Negres, we are
under the impression that the Missis-
sippi Negro would be glad if some of
the whites there could get other kinds
of labor besides theirs.

THE STATESBORO LYNCHERS GO
FREE.

The failure of the Grand Jury, in
Chatham County, Ca, to indict those
implicated in the burning Of two color
ed men, who had already been con-
victed and sentenced, is another in
stance to be cited in proof of the oft
made assertion that white men Of the
South are allowed a free hand with
Negro life and limb and always go un-
whipped of justice.
The Governor of the State ordered a
court martial of the military officers
engaged in this disgraceful affair, the
result of which was their dismissal
from the service. In this respect the
Governor is to be thanked for doing
his duty, but the grand jury composed
probably of friends and sympathizers
with the mob, could not summon the
moral courage to do it's duty. This
leads us to the conclusion that Ne
groes in the South will never get JUS
tice at the hands Of such rabble and
the sooner the country takes the mat
ter in hand and manages the Negroes
rights from the National Capital the
better. If we are to be cIassed as
serfs and unfit to exercise the suf-
frage which alone in this country is
our weapon Of defense against oppres-
sion, then why not let US be serfs of
the National Government rather than
the State governments, which will
not protect US?
If we are the child race, and are to
be so considered, why not then chill
dren of the Nation, rather than the
State?
We prefer Uncle Sam as our adopt
ed parent, rather than the slam hold
ing descendants of Bob Toombs and
JEFF Davis, who are Indifferent to the
wrongs being done us in their very
presents?
These outrages must stop or our
people must leave the South!

LONDON PRESS UNHAPPY.


London, Oct. 29.-The Daily Express
asserts that Admiral Sir Cyprian
Bridge will be one of the British rep
resentatives on the commission to in
quire into the North sea affair, which
Premier Balfour has announced and
which, the Express adds will sit at
Vigo under neutral Craftsmanship. The
Russian ships will anchor off Vigo and
Admiral Beresford has been ordered to
station the channel squadron there dur
ing the sittings Of the commission.
The opinions of the press on the set
Element, as announced by Mr.. Balfour,
are by no means unanimous. The OPP
position journals welcome 1t as a great
victory for the principles Of concilia-
ton and arbitration and all express
relief that the danger of war has been
avoided; but regardingn the manner of
arriving at an arrangement ideas
greatly differ. While the Daily Mail
halls 1t in the biggest type caption
as "Russia's Surrender" the more
thoughtful papers and those devoted
to the government interests are much
less pleased. The Standard declares
that MFR. Balfour's statement will be
received by the majority of English
men with a sense of profound disap-
pointment. Russia" the Standard
says, "has given way little, but we
have given way more. With resound-
ing emphasis with the movements of |
great fleets and all the impressive
preliminaries Of. war 1t was made |
known that England would have re-
dress or fight. But compromise has
been accepted. If this was all that |
was intended We need not have so
much fuss"

Attack of October II Equivalent to

Three Distinct Bodies to

Southampton, Eng, Oct. 29.-Pre-
mier Balfour addressed an immense
meeting in Artillery hall last night.
His appearance on the platform was
the signal for great cheering, which
was again and again renewed. On
rising Mr.. Balfour said:
1.-THE Russian version Of the occur

equivalent to an attack on Great Brit

boats spoken of>by the Russian admi-
raj were phantom ships, creatures of
pure fancy, against which Mr.. Balfour
entered most emphatic protest. He
was glad to say that the Russian gov
eminent had agreed with Great Brit
ain concerning the necessity for an
investigation. The responsible officers
would not be permitted to proceed to
the far east and the persons fround
guilty would be adequately punished.
In agreeing to these things Russia had
taken the view which commended it.
self to other civilized nations. Russia
had given pledge that she would
prevent recurrence Of the tragedy
which filled all hearts with sorrow and
the hearts Of most men with indigna>
tion.
The Russian ambassador had au-
thorized the statement that the Rus

North sea incident. at once expressed |
profound regret, and the Russian en-
peror telegraphed to the king in SINH
lar terms. The Russian government |
had ALSO promised the most liberal
The Russian govern
ment had shown an enlightened desire
that truth and justice in this matter
should prevail. The entire facts must
be brought out at the Investigation,
which Mr.. Balfour pointed out would
be made by three distinct bodies:
First, by the international commits
zion; second, by the board of trade in
JURY, and third, by the coroner's in
Iuest.
Both Sides" he said, would abide

commission, which would consider all
he questions at issue. Thus war be-

Baldwin's Machine Makes Second

3h miles Of the round trip under his
own power and demonstrating the
claims Of the inventor, Capt. Thomas
s. Baldwin, Of San Francisco, that
"the California Arrow" is not only
dirigible but that 1t can make head
way against moderate breeze.
Knabenshue started from the aero
nautic course at 1887 p. M, and re-
turned after his remarkable fight at

from which 1t had risen 20 minutes
previously and glided about 100 feet
further west, where 1t settled grace
fully to the ground.
The descent Of the Arrow was the
signal of q demonstration, the equal
of which has not been seen since the
wheels of the worlds fair started last
April in response to the pressure on
a key by President Roosevelt. Dozens
of eager hands were upstretched to
grasp the frame Of the airship and
the flying machine, with its daring
were carried around the
concourse upon the shoulders Of shout
ing men. Hats were thrown in the
air and when Knabenshue called for
three cheers for his home town, they
were given with will, and another
round followed for Knabuenshue and
Baldwin.
