What to Do With Black Man a
Question.
Race Is Multiplying Fast; Child.
rem Are Ignorant.
Redemption Can Be Brought
About, Speaker Said.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
At the anniversary of the Freed
mems Aid and Southern Educational so
cietv at the Methodist conference last
evening, DIR. W. p Thirkield gave q
very stirring address.
Dr.. Thirkield has been heart and sou
in this work so long that it seems tc
have became a part of him.
He was at the head of Cannon Theo-
logical Seminary in its early days. Put.
ting money, time and unceasing toll in
TO it, he stood untiringly by it until the
school stood on solid basis and in a
thriving condition. DIR. Thirkield is a
man of strong personality and won his
audience easily. Referring to the well
filled program, which had been carried out
and to that which was still to come, he
promised to be brief, humorously re-
marking that he had always noticed that
the longer he spoke, the greater the
time.
Then plunging into his subject, he
made his hearares feel that i'm the negro
question we have problem indeed and
one that cannot be mastered in one gen
Grafton, but one that requires centuries.
Rudyard Kipling's theory, "Clap a slave
ON the back and he is man." may make
good poetry, but is poor sociology.
The question is not the survival of
the fittest, but to make them fit to sur
vive. The redemption of race is only
a question of men and money.
He spoke very forcibly of the power of
unloosened money, calling money stored
up power, which, when boarded burdens,
destroys and beats out the best there is
in life
The negro is here and here to stay. He
refuses to emigrate and as persistently
refuses to die. Unless we redouble our
efforts to educate and redeem him a
generation or two hence they will be
asking not as we do-"What shall we
do with the negro?" but. what will he
do with us?" The race is multiplying
rapidly. There is three per cent greater
illiteracy among the children of ma
tive born parents, than among children
of foreign born parents. There are now
in the United States 2.22S,OOO voting
citizens who cannot read their ballots.

PUT FRAN sHISES ON L.S1y
State Equalization Board Regards
Them as Omitted Property"

State Equalization Board Regards
Them as Omitted Property"
Franchises of both domestic and for
eign corporations are to be added to
the tax rolls as omitted property, ac-
cording to resolutions passed by the
state board of equalization. Following
up its action in the case of Swift &
Co., the board decided to make gener-
al campaign for assessment of fran
chises, and the following resolutions
were prepared by Attorney General
Young and adopted:
Resolved, That the portion of the
capital stock employed in their bust
ness in this state by foreign corpora
tiOns licensed under our laws, should
be assessed the same as other property.
Resolved, Further, that in all eases
when such assessment has not been
made for the current year, the state
auditor be instructed to direct the prop
er county auditor to list for taxation,
as omitted property, the proportion of
the capital stock of such foreign cor
poration employed by it in its business
in this state.
Resolved, That the county auditors
of the seevral counties of the state be.
and they are hereby, instructed to place
on the tax lists of their respective
counties as omitted property, the capt.
tai stock or franchise of every private
y owned public service corporation To-
Gated in his county not already as
sessed in this years returns. Such
county auditors are also requested to
report to the state auditor the names
of all telephone companies organized in
their counties"
In the last resolution, the board
hopes to reach franchises of a number
of small water power companies, water
and light companies under private own
ership, which have been omitted.
In all eases the assessment of omit
ted property may run back six years,
taxes of older date being outlawed. At
torney General Young believes that I'M
der the Western Union decision it will
be possible to tax any foreign corpora
tion on franchise valuation.

PARTIES IN JUDSON.
Farewell Gatherings Held; Personal
Gossip and News Of interest.

Farewell parties seemed to be the or
der of the evenings in Judson last week
as they were held at the home of Elias
Roberts where quite a crowd gathered
and pleasant evening was spent and
another at J. c. Roberts in behalf of
Mrs. Roberts and daughter on their de-
parture for Wisconsin. L. NJ. Lewis and
family were also called on by a host of
friends before leaving for their new
home at Lake Crystal where Mr.. Lewis
will run a dray line. A pleasant even,
ing was spent in playing games and mu-
sic furnished by Emrys Lloyd OFT a
graphophone.
A certain good wife was preparing
dinner for a threshing crew the other
day, and as the crowd was quite large
and the morning hours had speedily
passed by, as always is the case when
any one is busy, and as the noon hour
was drawing near, the good woman has
tened all the more to have the dinner
ready by the time the crowd would ar
rive at the house. But 10 and behold
As she was taking off the cover of the
kettle she had the potatoes boiling in
she gave the foot of the stove a kick
and consequently the stove came near
falling over and the coffee took tum-
BILE to the floor which has been washed
clean worthy of the good folks for the
occasion, but alas! Instead of having a
nice clean floor, and good coffee, it was
all the other way; but luckily no one
was hurt, and it is understood that the
threshers had all they could eat after
all the misfortunes.

Scores Not High.

The scores in the monthly contest in
the state dairy and food department;
butter contest were announced yester
day. Henry Springer of Conger has the
highest score, 97R. H. A. Gvetsch OF
Money Creek is second, with 81, and c
S. Sly is third, with 1864. The quality
of the butter is not up to that of former
scorings and the reason for this is as
cribed mostly to the season; pastures
are drying up, good fresh grass is scarce
while weeds abound.
