Every Calamity, No Matter How Great,
 Has a Definite Beginning.
 There are no accidents in nature.
 The avalanche that without a mo- meuCs warning rushes headlong down the mountainside is not an accident.
 For years previous tiny atoms have been crystalizing, and adding their minute weight to the mass which left it's base when the accumulation reached a certain point.
 Neither is badness an accident. The InCnitesimally small germ which is the cause of Dandruff and Baldness. feeds silently and Ions before the result is seen.
 The small gsracs which thrive on the scalp and which are the cause of Bald ness and Dandrun cannot exist, how ever, when Newbro's Herpicide is ap- piled.

''leader of his race" ''the Negro
self as humorist. "Social lion,
4oo," "most pyominentest cullud
citizen" "a prominent Attorney"
"a prominent preacher" are few
of the phrases which are being used,
regardless of when, how, or to who m
applied. The young reporter is par
ticularly facetious when writing of
the Negro. "seventeen Coons
Bagged" gets big headlines. while
"seventeen coons released'' on ac-
count of total lack of evidence is
not mentioned. A self-supporting
Negro lawyer of good character and
a good civil law practice has his
name erased in news item, and

pieces of city property-these men
are unknown to fame or the "local

THE REPORTERS "PROMl-
NENT" NEGRO.

Below we publish very good ar
ticle which appeared IN the Register
and Leader. 1t speaks our senti-
ment:
Editors Register and Leader:
From some of the published state
ments which appears in the columns
of the newspapers the public is
doubtless led to believe that Negro
society is heterogeneous mass in
a state of continuous volcanic erup-
tion. This is caused from on mex
cusable lack of knowledge of the
average person as to the aim, OBJ
ject, hope or action of the greater
part of the Negro population of this
city, and from the desire of the
young reporter to distinguish him,
