cessful attempt was made today to
wreck an carly Fort Des Moines car

 Rev .~Jones of Elm Bluff is still pes simistic. He does not believe that justice is granted to the schools in hts section; due partly, he said, to the tg- norance of the people and partly be- cause the white trustees do not take interest in negro schools.
 Cushond of Portland said they were not doing much. The government gave them only S36 for five months and of course they could not get a good teacher for that
 The report from Richmond, where Miss Lucy P. Gaines, Snow Hill graduate, is teaching, was very en- couraging. The delegate said that MT. Cumming, a colored man, donated one acre of land to the school The pat- rons had built a good school house and they have a good teacher. The Cum ming school is branch of the Snow Hill Institute.
 Perhaps the most glowing education al report rendered was made by MT. Mcbride of Oak Hill. MT. Mcbride said that his school accepted no gov ernment fund; thar 1t is too small for the trouble it takes to get it; that fiC- teen men came together in July, 1901. and formed a school committee and seyerally promised that they would build school house and pay teacher for SIX months out of their own pock- etc. The school has been built at 8 cost of SITS. They pay their teacher $30 per month for six months, or six times as much as the government pays in some localities fin the country places. They plan 10 run the school nine months and to see that it is sec ond to no school in the County.
 Principal Edwards here made 8 strong plea for other communities to emulate the example of the Oak Hill delegate.
 Rev. Duncan of Shawnee said that they had a good teacher. but no school housu.
 John P. Thomas, a Snow Hill grad uate, who has founded a very success full school at Tilden, told the confer- ences that his people had bought thirty | acres of land and built a two-room school house on 1t. Two teachers are | employed. The land is controlled by the trustees who rent 1t out or culti- l vate it and give the proceeds to the support of the school.
 Mir. Purifoy of Cedar Creek reiter- ated the expressions made by Rev. Barber and told Principal Edwards
 that his community is in the dark hut looking for the light. Either send us | somebody with the light" he said, 'or come and fetch 1t yourself .' When some one asked Delegate Pu- rifoy if he was a preacher. he retort- 1 ed, Who art thou?" (Laughter and prolonged applause,l
 The moral and religious questions were discussed at length. Some of these were very encouraging, indeed | while others were less inspiring. The financial conditions were dis | cussed and showed that there had been l very prosperous year. Mrs. Emma Purifoy. a widow twelve years, said l that her husband died and left big debt to he paid. That she took her children and stuck to the farm and raised the debt. She now owes no one has cotton for sale, raises her own meat and does not have to buy on time from the merchants.

Washington, although 1t never has been a pennant winner in any of the baseball league contests, has always been A center of interest for the great American sport. for here has been the home of some of the principal officers of. major associations. A veteran, but still well informed player and patron of the game, had this the other day to say to your correspondent of the sport in the South:
 "BasebalI has never been so popular in the South as during the past year or two In fact the same may be said of all sections of the country. To the steady improvement and cleanness of the sport this may be attributed, but 1t is well to think of the advancement since the American League expanded Into the East and became a rival and A thorn in the side of the National League. Before the Americans came into prominence training trips were not so great factors in a seasons plans, but when the Americans invaded the South to condition the players. all the national clubs followed, although sew eral always went into Dixielapd for the preliminary work before the American League was born.

but the conferences put new life in him. He saw where he had been abusing the mortgage system. that he had been idling away too much time on Saturdays. All of these he re- solved to lay aside and did so. Last year he made 500, bushels of corn, I20 gallons of syrup and raised his own meat. made thirty bales of cotton and cleared twenty bales. Also had money on hand from previous years crop. A canvas was made to find out how many people in the audience owned land. Three-fourths of the farmers present owned their own homes. Three had bought since last conference. Declarations were adopted:
 The end of education Is complete living. This end must be reached through the homes, the schools and churches. We therefore renew our determination to own land, build bet- ter dwelling houses with more than two rooms. and beautify them.
 Our school terms are usually too shor5s and our teachers incompetent. We therefore promise to supplement- the public school fund and extend the school terms to at least six months in the year and use our influence to se- cure qualified teachers.
 The moral and religious condition of our people have improved; hlt still not what 1t should be; it is therefore necessary that the pulpit be occupied by educated Christian gentlemen.
 We also declare that we will plant less cotton and diversity our crops.
 The conferences, modelled on the Tuskegee plan are held at the Snow Hill Institute yearly and are doing much good in moulding sentiments in favor of economic living, In favor of civic righteousness, in favor of broad CT educational, moral and religious de- velopment.
