THE RACE QUESTION.
Representative of Negroes Discuss
 Cove. Jelks' Wise Suggestions.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 The governor of Alabama, In comment ing upon the recent riot in Atlanta, made some wise suggestions,
 He said that "the lynching of any per- son for whatever crime, is inexcusable anywhere. It is a defense of disorderly government but the killing of innocent people under any provocatien Is infinitely more horrible; and yet innocent people are likely to die when a mohs terrible wrath is once aroused. The lesson is this; No good citizen can afford to eounten- ance defiance of the statute no matter what the provocation. The remedy sug- gested in the statement that "the two races can never get along until there is an understanding on the part of both to make common cause with the law-abidlng against the criminals of any coor'' is, in our opinion, conservative, and should obtain.
 That there is a misunderstanding be- tween the races is evident from the state- ment of the governor that the white peo- pie of the south indict the whole colored race on the ground that even the better element had no assistance whatever in ferreting out criminals of their own colorp While we regret that there are some evidence of the correctness of this indictment, yet we are glad to be able to say that there are many notable exeep- tions
 All over the south, where negroes have been on trial, members of the race have frequently been the principal witnesses in securing their conviction.
 Negroes also have been instrumental in helping to ferret out criminals. not only in cases where colored men alone were involved, but also in cases where the members of our race had committed crime against a white man.
 Some Facts.
 It was a negro woman of Birmingham who informed the officers of the where abouts of Will Gholson, who killed Depu- ty Sheriff Robert Warmock for which crime he was hanged. It was a member of the negro race who informed the of- fioers of the hiding place of Sam Hose, who was burned in Georgia for the com mission of a heinous crime. IL was col bred man who directed the officers 10 Paul Hill, Polk and Will Archer, and Ei-  len Fant charged with grand larceny and arson, for which they were afterward lynohed at Carrolton. It Is said that it was a colored detective who secured evil denoe against four negroes in Marion, who were charged with the murder of white man, upon which evidence they were convicted and hanged.
 If these exceptions are not the rule, 1t is no doubt due in part to the fact that the feeling extensively prevails among negroes that we are altogether separated from the administration of the law and further that we do not always get the protection in the courts which the law guarantees to its citizens. This opinion is shared by others than the members of the race.
 All colored citizens, except the most de- prayed, are opposed to the assaults upon women of any race, and are anxious that such criminals should be punished to the extreme extent of the law: and further, are willing to bring them to justice; but we feel like Governor JellSs, that lynch ing for any crime is inexcusable any

LABOR TEXT BOOK
 ISSUED YESTERDAY Results from Ignoring "BlII of
 Grievances" HISTORY OF UNION LABOR American Federation Puts Out Text Book, Which Is to Guide its Three
 Million Members In Po-
 lltleal Action.
HISTORY OF UNION LABOR

Washington, September 2s,-The Ameri- can Federation of Labor today issued it's political text book for the pending con gresslonal campaign. The publication Is pamphlet of thirty-eight pages and con- i sists of recapltulation of " labors bill of grievances of last March an explana- ton of the origin and purpose of the fed- eration, together with a history of its ef- forts to secure legislationi a history of the use of the power of injunction in the United States courts; an explanation of the eight-hour law; dissertation on con- vict labor, and an announcement of the campaign programme.
 Under the aforementioned head is the following recommendation:
 We recommend that central bodies and local unions proceed without delay by the election of delegates to meet in con vention to formulate plans to further the interests of this movement, and al the proper time and in the proper manner nominate candidates who will unquestion- ably stand for the enactment into law of labor and progressive measures The first concern of all should be the positive de- feat of those who have been hostile or in- different to the Just demands of labor. A stinging rebuhe to them will benefit not only the toilers but the people of the en- tire country.
 Nominate Straight Labor Candidates.
 Wherever both parties ignor labor's legislative demands, a straight labor can didate should be nominated that honest men may have the opportunity In exercis- ing their franchise to vote according to their conscience instead of being compelled either to refrain from voting or to vote for the candidate and the party they must in their innermost souls despise.
 Where a congressman or state legisla- tor has proven himself a true friend to labor he should be supported and no can didate nominated against him. "Wherever 1t Is apparent that an entire ly independent labor candidate cannot be elected efforts should be made to secure such support by endorsement of candi- dates by the minority party in the district and by such other progressive elements we will encourage the election of labor representatives"
 Calls Attention to Brltons.
 Attention Is called 10 the recent elec- ton of fifty-four trade unionists to the British Parliament. and American work ing men are advised that they are just as capable of serving the country in legis- latiye capacity as are their fellows across the water. ~-
 The Inauguration of this programme Is attributed by the text book to the failure of the President and Congress to give proper consideration to the .biil of griev- ances." a
 The membership of the federation is placed at 100000.

WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

My husband and Ave children were all afflicted with eczema. They had 1t two years. We used all the home rem edies we could hear of, without any relief, and then went to q physician and got medicine two different times, and it got verse. It affected us all over except head and hands. We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and con- cluded to try them. So sent for ?i0o worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial of Pills, and we commenced to use them. I do not know how to express my joy in finding a cure, for two of my chil- dren were so bad that they have the brown scars on their bodies where they were sore. If it will be of any benefit to you, you can publish my letter with pleasure. Yours truly, Mrs. Maggie B. Hill, Stevens, Mason O., ". Vs., June l2, l905."

ADVANCE IS MADE
 IN PRICE OF SALT
ALL GRADES RAISED 60 CENTS A TON BECAUSE OF THE ENoR- NOUS DEMAND AND eURTAlLED SUPPLY.

New York, September 2s.-The Interna- tional Salt Company yesterday raised It's prices on all grades of salt approximately 60 cents per ton. This is said to be the third raise within period of three months.
 The reasons given for the latest advance are that the shutting down of two of the largest producing plants in the Utica dis triot has caused shortage in the supply that the demand is unprecedently large and that difficulty has been experienced in securing cars in which to transport the product.

where;' and, therefore, do not like to be a party to it.
 We believe with the governor that bet ter understanding between the races is essential to insure the cooperation of both in maintaining law and order among us. and to remove from our common wealth such outbreaks of lawlessness as so recently disgraced the fair name of Atlanta.
 Since we are the greater sufferers in such outbreaks, and since we are not in the position to take the initiative in bringing about this understanding of which the governor speaks we appeal to his exeellency, whose ideas of a solu- ton are conservative and adequate, to add to his already successful efforts in reducing lawlessness In Alabama, by mak- ing 1t possible for such an understanding to be had.
 Hedging ourselves to give our efforts and influence for the maintenance of law and order In our city and state We are respectfully yours-The Colored Ministers Conference of Birmingham, per Committee:
