A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles of minor Importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one of the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the Dr. White Electric Comb,
patented January I, 90 These wonder
full Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Electric
Hair Brush are positively guaranteed to
make straight hair curly in 25 days time.
Thousands of these electric. combs have
been sold in various cities of the Union,
and the demand is constantly increasing.
Our agents are rapidly becoming rich
selling these combs. They positively sell
on sight. Send for sample. Mems size

NEGRO BAPTIST
MINISTER'S CONFERENCE.

A brilliant session of the Ma
tional Negro Baptist Ministers
Conference, was held on the 18th
inst, at U. o. T. r. Hall, Twelfth
and . streets northwest.
The following members joined
the conference. Revs. 7. TOliver,
A. II. StrOther, G. II. Turner, AL
fred A. EgertOn, and Brother E.
Cooper.
Rev. Benjamin E. Stroud, B. D.,
was introduced and read a paper
on Christianity. Coming from the
source it did none should be sur
prised when we say it is an ex-
cellent production and ably rem
dered.
DR.. Stroud is president of the
Parmalee Industrial Institute,
Parmalee, n. c., and is a rising
Star in the educational horizon.
The following officers were cleo
ted: Revs. Alfred A. Egert pm,
secretary; T. Toliver, assistant
secretary; II. II. Kelly, vice-presi-
dent; A. II. StrOther, assistant
treasurer; c.. II Turner, chairman
of executive committee.
BY request of the conference,
Rev. Alfred A. EgertOn will read
a paper on Journalism, next Mon
day. 25th inst, at 2:30 O'Clock
D. M. The public is invited. Great
good is anticipated as a result of
this conference.

Especially under present conditions.
We are constrained to indulge in these
reflections, because of some caustic crit
icisms passed upon a few paragraphs of
ours a week or so ago.
We are disposed, indeed almost forced
to believe that our friends who have
been so violently vituperative have not
thought well of what they are doing
To us the course of affairs there appear
to have been crlinently prudent, emi-
nently wise, and thoroughly saturated
with good. hard common sense.

THE GEORGIA SITUATION.

weekly paper DuDllSllGu III tic CITY Ol NJ
lanta devoted ostensibly to the interest
of the Odd Fellows, but incidentally to
politics It's thunder mingled with
threats and menaCes have aroused our
interest, and we have longed for some
light as to the reason of it's present fury.
So far there has been no light.
Names which the country has learned
to honor and respect for conservation to
the principles of the Grand Old Party,
and for high character have been flip
PANTY, and in an uncOmplimentary man
ner dealt with.
In this respect this weekly has been
no reSpeCtOr of persons, SO far as race
color or previous conditions were con-
cerned, for it has slapped the honored
Chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee as severely in the face,
although he is the son of an ex-Gover-
nor of the state, and himself a man of
the highest social position as any, and
has steered so clearly and fully accord
ing to the chart of the Republican Party
that none heretofore have found it in
their hearts to criticise him; yet, he has
fallen in the disfavor of the gentlemen
who run the Independent, and they have
not hcsitated to slash" him.
The distinguished Secretary of the
State Committee, whom we are inform
ed has occupied that position for the last
twenty-five or thirty years, and who has,
in all the relations of life acquitted him
self, well and creditably-never found
wanting in loyalty to the party of which
he is a high representative, nor, in advO-
cacy of the principles which underlie and
uphold the race with which he is iden-
tilted, has been most severely dealt
with
The Collector of the Internal Rev
enue, who in the discharge of his Off
cial duties, has reflected credit upon his
race throughout the country, and who

ed anywhere in the South has been crit
icised mercilessly by the gentlemen who
are conducting that weekly.
Col. H. P. Farrow, SANS PEUR
EST SANS REPROCHE, who pre-
sided over the late state convention as
it's permanent Chairman has also been
scathingly referred to.
National Committeeman Lyons who
has been in the lime light of public scru-
tiny in this city for the last SIX or seven
years seems to have incurred the espe-
cial disfavor of the gentlemen back of
this weekly. About the National Com
mitteemen we claim to be able to speak
with some degree of authority If there
has ever been a colored man IN posi-
ton in this city who was authorized to
speak for the party and for the race and
who has spoken fearlessly, but wisely,
we do not hesitate to say that he is one
among these men. Sometimes we have
doubted the wisdom of his boldness;
but time has demonstrated that That
he has been efficient in representing the
forces in his state, no other statement IS
necessary to establish this fact, than that
the coIored people to-day in the state OF
Georgia hold more REPRESENTATIVE 0thceS,

Independent
ThecolOred men of the country are
utterly opposed to ''Lily-whitism." They
believe that there is no warrant Tor it,
neither in the history nor traditions of
the Republican Party. There is practi-
cally no "Lily-whitism in the state of
Georgia, and it has been largely through
the splendid management of National
Committeeman Lyons and the superb
republicanism of Col Walter II. John
son, whom we know and have met sew
eral times in this city, that this happy
state of affairs exists there.
Something is said about a state tick
ct. Well-where is there a Republican
in the country who is not in favor of
state ticket? if that is the wisest and best
thing to do; but politics in this day of
our Lord, for the colored man is not
play-thing. 1t is a business which re-
quires the widest knowledge and the
deepest wisdom, and what is more the
exercise of things in the management of
affairs. All of the large states of the
south except Georgia have disfranchis-
ed their colored voters, and it seems for
this tranScendant wrong no case has
yet been brought to the Supreme Court
that will enable it to take cognizance of
this invasion of American liberty
throttle it and furnish remedy. Speak
ing from the standpoint of a colored
man, under the circumstances, what is
best for the colored voters of Georgia?
What is wisest? Quite an element in
the state have sought to d1sfranchise the
colored people. One man has been re-
warded for his efforts in that line by
seat in the Federal Congress in this
city. Now-so far the disfranchisers
have not been able to increase their for
ces to the extent of controlling the leg
islature! and, as the result, the colored
men of Georgia are free to vote in all
the elections and have the only colored
member of any legislature in the south.
This fact is noted to the credit of the
state, all over the country. Could the
Republican party of the state elect
state ticket, if one should be put for
ward? Could it even get it a creditable
vote? Failing in getting creditable
vote, would that fact not react upon the
electoral ticket in November? Again,
is it not certain that the forces of the
disfranchisers would be largely in
creased to such an extent that in all
probability within three years Georgia
would be placed in the category with
South Carolina, Mississippi and the 9th
er southern states which have disfran-
chised the colored people. If this thing
is true, then what is true leadership? Is
it not to wait for a better day when hu-
man liberty shall become dearer to the
hearts of the Americans; and when the
elective franchise can be exercised with
freedom by all rather than to throw 1t
away in a fruitless effort now To an
outsider this appears to be the course
of real leadership.
Eight years ago North Carolina used
to elect a number of Republican Con-
gressmen, one of whom was always col
Iored-several members of the legisla-
ture, and some county officers. This pol
| icy was abandoned, and a violent agita-

NAB JAPANESE BIRD SLAYERS.

United States Authorities Arrest
Seventy-Seven Plumage Hunters.
The United States revenue cutter
with seventy-seven prisoners, all Jap
anese plumage hunters, who had been
captured on an American island while
engaged in their illegal operations,
says a writer in Field and Stream.
These men were sent out as hunters by
a Tokyo firm and their destination
was Liniasky Island, known in many
regions as a wonderful nesting place
for plumage birds.
This island is in mid-Pacific not far
from Midway Island. The fact that
it belongs to the United States did not
seem to deter these oriental plumage
hunters. They had, besides the hunt
ers, a corps Of SINNERS and taX1der-
mists. They went to work last Janu-
airy and collected great many thou
sands of skins. Late in the same
month an ocean gale destroyed their
schooner, drowned some of the men
and left the rest marooned upon the
island.
A second Japanese vessel brought
about forty more hunters. who were
left to join the others, the ship leaving
word that she would presently return.
She did not return. Meantime the war
with Russia broke out, of which the
plumage hunters heard nothing. In
any case they were very hungry when
finally discovered by the United States
revenue steamer, rescued and impris-
oned.
Captain Hamlet of the Thetis says
they had wrought an appalling de-
struction. There were 335 cases of
plumage collected, and in all likelihood
more than 100000 plumage birds had
been destroyed. 1t would seem that
the records Of the orient rival those Of
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana ana
other parts of the United States,
where the very acme Of thoughtless
destruction would seem to have been
reached.

HUNTING TIME.

They're comin' from the city to the coun-
try russell brown,
With their rifles and their shotguns to
hunt the farmer down,
The law is off the squirrel, an now I'm
tellin' you,
Them city hunters pear to think it's off
the farmer, too.
Soon the landscape will be punctured
with a lot of bullet holes,
An everybody will be dodgin' to save
their precious souls.
For when them city fellers go cavortin'
with a gun,
An plug somebody full O. lead, they call
1t "havin' fun"
An, then somehow it seems to me they
alters pear to fail
To make fair discrimination 'twixt q
farmer and quail.
For anythin' that rustles, if it shows
tail or head,
An isn't plainly labelled, they'll pump it
full O. lead.
An when charge O. doubleB has taken
off the crown
or your old hat, they'll calmly swear
they didn't know you're roun'.
An sometimes when you are absorbed in
the field a-pullin' beans,
You'll be nightly surprised with bullet
in your jeans.
They'll come an board with you, then
some mornin' fore you're up,
When they're out a-huntin' lions, they'll
shoot the brindle pup.
Oh, it's strenuous times we're havin' in
the country jes' bout now,
An if 'twan't for new inventions we'd be
hidin' in the NOW.
But don't you for q minnit think the
farmer hain't progressed,
An travelled long in the procession with
the spirit of the rest.
A country store these later days is fairly
out O date,
Unless it keeps upon it's shelves suits
lined with armor plate.
An now we're all a-waitin', really want
to get a chance
To demonstrate the quality of our anti
bullet pants.
So come along, you city dudes, with your
goggles an your gun,
We've got ON our iron trousers, an we're
ready for the fun.
Don't hesitate a second, but come out an
help us laugh,
While you ponder on the diff 'rence 'twixt
a farmer and a calf.
