MAKE NEGROES
 WARDS OF NATION.
Bishop Walden of Northern Method i>ts Proposes to Put Nation III
 Altitude of Guardian.

Cincinnati. Oct 24.-The negro problem and relief for San Francisco furnished two sensations for the Meth odist ministers of this section at their weekly meeting today. As a re- suit. President Roosevelt may be ask cd by the Cincinnati Methodist Episco- pal Ministers association to give his attention 10 an address on the race problem delivered by Bishop John N. Walden if the proposition before the association is adopted. Tn the course of his address Bishop Walden said:
 This country will not fulfill it's ob- ieets until the nation c1mes to consid- er it's relation With that Of the negro Of q guardian to q ward. This prob= lem is not q problem of the north alone, nor of the soilth alone. II is a problem fols the nation. This na tion, which is so rich and powerful, must solve the race question itself. During the days before the war the idea that the negro was to have, when freed, his forty acres of land from the government was freely circulated. i But when the freedom came no forty acres came with it,
 @'FDpre are three things that enter into the negro question. The thought of implanting in the coIored man the idea of industry, the idea of honesty, the idea of home-making. The col ored man has been charged with lazi= ness. The northern traveller who goes south and comes home is filled With stories about the lazy colored men he saw about the streets of l southern cities. tellyou he saw but few The colured man will make d good business man and a good citizen if we only give him q chance but the problem is with Us individually. with the Methodist Episcopal church col lectivelN, and with the great United States government in paternal sense.
 The other sensation was an address by Key. Dr. F. M I.arkin of San Francisco ill which ne made bitter attack on the Methodists of Ohio for the small amount of money that they have contributed 10 the stricken Methodists of San Francisco Dr. Earkin said
 Not onlN have the Ohio Method ists failed la give money 10 the earth quake sufferers ot oul' faith. but they refuse To hear me, sent here for the 1 purpose, present the matter 10 them in the pulpits. If is shame l say. ! baya sent out letters to churches T dvor Ohio hogging 10 be allowed 10 ccm6 and tell of the need of the

provoked when IkeKillgore emp
tied his pistol at Will Smith,
three of the shots taking effect
in the abdomen. There seemed
to have been no words immedi-
ately previous to the affair but
the origin of the trouble seems
to have been over a watch which
Smith had previously had, which
Killgore claimed.
Physicians state that it is i'm

he is still alive. He is a widow

Alabama Strike Situation.

Given by the Associated Press
to the Nashville Banner of the
14th: A special convention of
the United Mine Workers of
America, Alabama District No.
20, met here to-day for the pur-
pose of considering the strike
situation in Alabama. About
100 miners are present, the
whites and blacks being equally
divided. The convention is in
executive session. A strike at
the four largest furnace compa-
MES mines has been on since
July, 1904, and has cost the
miners over a million dollars.
The correspondence on the SUBJ
ject between John Mitchell,
National President, and Edward
Flynn, District President, will
be presented to the convention
this afternoon.
No intimation is given out by
the leaders, but the general i'm
preston is that the strike in this
state will be called off.

The Bad Boys Quotation.

The Sunday-school class had
been asked to bring a donation
of 5 cents each, and to study up
an appropriate quotation to be
repeated to the pastor as each
one should go up to his desk to
place his contribution in the
poor basket. First boy drop
ping his nickle) said: "Cast
thy bread upon the waters and
it shall be returned to thee an
hundredfold."
Pastor. Very good, Master
Tom.
Second Boy. What you give
to the poor you lend to the Lord
Pastor. Good my son.
And so on, each boy recited be!
comingly until the bad boy's turn
arrived, and he said as he threw
in his nickel, ga fool and his
money are soon parted. :"

Wage Scale Signed.

The joint convention of the
miners and operators of the Jel-
lico district No. 10, which was
honored by the presence of Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the U. M.
W. of A., agreed upon a wage
scale to become effective Sept. /
next, and continue for one year
at their convention in Knoxville
last week. Both sides made con-
cessions. The new scale is in
effect restoration of the sched-
ule of wages of 1903, which is
practically an increase of n per
cent. for miners and day laborers.
The scale for yardage will remain
the same as heretofore which is
a concession made by the miners.
The operators yielded their de-
mands for the scale to terminate
June |, 1907, instead of Sept. l,
1907, as desired by the miners.
A Board of Arbitration composed
of w. r. Ballou and Hywell
Davies for the operators and 2.
j. Dunaway and VIM. Hollers
for the miners will hear and adj
just all complaints, both from
miners and operators, not dis
posed of by the joint convention.

National President Of the United
Mine Workers, who was there

Red Band Pure Scotch Snuff
A Word of Cheer.

Some little boys were running
race, and all felt sure that
Tommy, the boy in the lead,
would win, as he was the fastest
runner. Those looking on began
to cheer the different boys, and
Tommy gradually fell behind UNI
til he was the last one to reach
the goal. His friends gathered
around, inquiring why this was,
and Tommy, wiping the tears
from his dirty little face, replied.
"You yelled, Go it, Johnp GO
it, JIMMY but there was not a
one yelled Go it, Tommy and
somehow | just could not run at
all" A word of cheer frequent
ly makes the difference between
success and failure.

Compartments in Religion

The Rev. W. E. Cox, who was
assistant here under Rev, W. FL.
>DuBose for some time and Il SO
well and favorably known is tenn
porarily in charge of Christ
Church, Nashville, during the
absence of the regular Rector,
and according to the Banner de-
livered sermon at the Sunday
night service there characteristic
of the lives of many, synopsis as
follows:
"There was q large audience,
and the minister held their atten-
tion throughout his discourse.
His subject was compartments
in Religion" and he contended
that the lives of men were often
divided into compartments, some
of which were puriVd by re-
ligion and others entirely outside
its influence. Even as the ocean
steamer is divided into com
partments, so that one may be
dryand safe whilethesea ispouring
into another, so also are the lives
of many, and while God may be
admitted to one compartment,
He is kept strictly out of anoth-
err, and often this curious con-
dition is not realized. The min
lister illustrated by telling of a
brigand who held up an Oriental
express, took the passengers cap
tive and held them for large
ransom. While they were in his
power he never neglected to hold
family prayrs with them each
day. This, said DR.. Cox, was a
case of compartments in religion.
There are many really good men
whose religion is not fully round
ed, and while they would be
shocked at any thing like heresy,
yet they sometimes disregard the
most sacred commands of the
decalogue.
Religion in its fullness must
embrace the whole man or wo-
man-no woman would be called
a good housekeeper who kept on
ly the parlor tidy; the whole
house must be kept in the same
condition. No man can be called
q true Christian who has only a
few religious compartments and
gives the others to the devil. A
chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, and the life of the
Christian to ring true must be sat
urated from centre to circumfer
ence with the spirit and truth of
the Master"

Gotham's Idea of Politeness.

He was an accomplished South
ern gentleman of the dreamer
school, polite but impractical and
as green a visitor as New York
ever had. Age about 55. His
eye caught two pretty women
overburdened with bundles stand
ing on a corner of Fifth Avenue
waiting for a stake. In the ex-
element several bundles fell to
the sidewalk and across the ave-
nue. he dashed to the rescue. As
he stopped with a'dignified cal
low me, ladies'" and proceeded
to pick up several packages they
began to scream for the police.
A fat officer appeared and laid
the heavy hand of the law upon
the collar of the Southerner.
The women grabbed their prop
erty and fled, while policeman
and prisoner walked toward the
aation. The Sergeant happened
to be sensible fellow. After
hearing the gentleman's state
ments he lectured him gently
and let him go.-New York

Wrong Impression Conveyed.

Our clipping from the Ameri-
can of last week regarding the
lease of the Obey River Compa-
ny to E. L. Hampton, of this
place and F. j. Fuller of Nash
vile, read as though the several
coal companies in which Mr..
Hampton is largely interested
would be consolidated, namely
the Tennessee Consolidated and
the Nunley Ridge Coal Company
and that general offices would be
established in Nashville, which
is not a fact. While Messrs.
Hampton and r. B. Roberts are
largely interested in these sever
al companies, this new operating
company promoted by Mr..
Hampton will be altogether a
distinct enterprise within itself
and apart from the above cor
poration.
E. L. Hampton, President OF
the newly corporated concern,
which is the Obey City Company,
stated that they were now
shipping about a hundred tons Of
fine domestic coal daily and that
the output would be increased in
the next few months, which car
be readily marketed as the Goa
was excellent for all domestic
purposes.
