GOOD ADVICE.
White Clergyman Writes Briefly and
to the Point.
q. o.THr q ..s.oaApo srArEsMAN:


| Tc THE G DORADO STATESMAN:
Having recently read different
issues of the COLORADO STATES
MAN, and being pleased with some
of the statements therein, / wish
to say a few things to the colored
man through your columns. I was
raised in the South and am a
friend to the colored man. | wish
to see you as race prosperous
and happy. What you are as a
race and as individuals depends
largely on yoy own actions. Sen
ator Tillman is mistaken when he
says the Negro has no soul. Ger
tainly, you, like white men and
women, have both souls and bodies
and what you need to do is to take
the proper care of both. To do
this you must be honest, sober and
industrious. Be a man. When
you get a job of work stay with
it" and save your money Act so
that your employer can trust you
in his absence. Take the papers
and read them; but don't get radi-
cal on the race question. Keep
yourself right before God and man
and you will get along all right
race question or no race question.
Shun bad company. Don't drink
or gamble but lay up something
for rainy days and old age.
Your friend respectfully,
G. j. Spurlock.

Lee Williams has leased the din

If the Negroes who are crowded
in large cities-we mean the re-
spectacle and industrious ones
would come to the small towns and
go to the country, buy few acres
of land, or take up government
land, there being hundreds of thou
sands of acres not yet settled upon,
and become producers, not consum-
ers only, they would be naturally
thrown into business relations with
merchants and all business men and
command far greater respect than
they can possibly do by merely ex-
isting in large cities.
The Carnation Art club will meet

will not, to see that they do not
break into the cream of society.
This is as it should be, for woman,
lovely woman. If thou had no

man. The Colorado Statesman
will note with pleasure the good ac-
comphshed. saA

An Earnest Plea
Made by Prominent White Minister of the South. Advo
Gates Fairness and Justice for the Black Man.

not a man in all the land that feels
more strongly these outrages than
/ feel them, but 1 do not believe
that this crime of crimes is made
better by adding thereto the dead
ly. crime of murder. Every man
who is executed by a mob is MUIR
dered. Every man who partici-
pates in this execution is MUIR
derer. Every apologist for mob
murder is an accessory to the muir
der. The man who advocates mob
violence is an anarchist, no matter
what his pretensions or his posi-
ton in society. We have reached
a point that makes it necessary for
every man who believes in the
righteousness and dignity of the
law to speak out as strongly as he
can against the reign of the blood
thirs and anarchistic mob.
There was a custom among the
American savages of killing every
white man that they came upon.
They made no distinction between
the pale faces. Men, women and
children alike were massacred, and
the preacher, with Bible in his
hand, perished with the man at
whose belt hung the dripping scalp
of Indians brave. In like manner
certain class of white men have
become savages. Their savagery
has been fashioned into a song,
one of the lines of which reads
this way: "All Coons Look Alike
to Me-"
If a Negro is maltreated or MUIR
dered, it is a sufficient answer to
say: "Oh, well it was Eobody but a
nigger."
The white minister of God who
weeps when he pleads for money
with which to send missionaries to
Africa is struck dumb when he
confronted the savage attitude that
his fellow white men assumed
toward the Negro across the street.

NEGRO ELKS WIN CASE.


In police court yesterday Judge
Chadsey decided that II. David
Murray, Cabell Galloway and Oil
ver E. Robinson, three Negroes ar
rested for wearing the emblem OF
the B. P. O. E., were not guilty OF
misdemeanor. He discharged all
three defendants. Judge Chadsey
stated, however, that the Elks
should have some means of en-.
joining the Independent Benevo.
lent Protective Order of Elks OF
the World, a Negro organization,
from using its emblem, and in his
decision he stated that while he
could not hold the prisoners guilty
of crime, he would advise Roch-
ester Lodge of Elks to obtain an
order from higher court prevent
ing any infringement in the use
of the emblem.
The three Negroes were arrested
and charged with violation of sec
ton 674 of the penal code, which
provides that any person not a
member of organizations which are
named, and of which the Elks is
one, wilfully displaying the EN-
blem of that organization, shall be
guilty of misdemeanor. A test
was made of the case against Muir
ry, and upon the decision in his
favor all three were released. The
Elks were represented by A. j

members of that order, and the

BRAVE NEGRO BRIDE.

Edward Collins, white, and his
Negro wife, who live near Indian
Springs, Washington county,
Maryland, were in Hagerstown,
recently, to see States Attorney
Long about the conduct of some
of the neighbors of the couple.
1t is claimed that a number of
persons from the mountains above
Indian Springs planned to tar and
feather Collins and his wife.
When the leader of the crowd ap-
preached the house and knocked
at the door he was confronted by
the Negro woman, who opened fire
on him with revolver. He fed,
as did also his waiting companions,
the woman firing a number of
shots after the fleeing party.
The men left a pot of tar and a
bag of feathers on the premises.
Much feeling has developed against
Collins and the woman, who was
formerly Priscilla Pye, since they
went to Chambersburg, Pa, two
weeks ago and were married. The
woman is the owner of 150-acre
farm.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-06-16

DIR. j. B. Cranfill, leading
white minister of the South has
this to say of the Negro;
At the remarkable convention of
Christian students held recently in
Nashville, Tenn, one timid young
woman arose and said: 81 am 60
ing as a missionary to Africa to
live and love and die" A great
wave Of applause followed this
modest announcement. This was
right. The Dark Continent, peo-
&led as il is by millions of souls
who have never so much as heard
the name of Christ, it is worthy of
all the efforts we can possibly put
fTth for its salvation.
Let no word be gesture of dis
couragement ever be placed in the
way of any heart that aspires to
live and love and die in any of the
needy fields of earth for work of
the Son of God. I feel, however,
that much of this talk about send
ing missionaries to Africa is sickly
sentiment.
Only a few hundred miles from
the spot where this gentle maiden
thus dedicated her life to Africa,
three innocent Negroes have since
been murdered and burned. This
occurred only few days ago in
Springfield, Missouri, and it is
stated that these mob murderers
did their work unmasked in the
bright glare of the electric lights.
Africa is at our doors and this Af-
RIGA is at home has ten folds great
gr claims upon us, as we look at it
in one way, than has the other
Africa, because the Africans here
in the South were either once our
slaves or are the defendants of our
selves. 1t is tenderly poetical to
talk about sending missionaries to
the other Africa and it stirs within
us inexpressible emotions, but it
does not quadrate well with the
treatment that the native Southern
Africans are receiving here at
home. There is a reason for this
widespread and vicious out-cry
against the Negro. Of course the
nameless crime that is committed
by some members of the Negro
race is in itself enough to incite
the deadiliest passion in the white
mans heart. There is no sort of
doubt that every man, white or
Black, who outrages innocent wo-
men ought to be speedily executed,
but this should be done, not by
mobs but by our regular constitut-
ed courts of law.
I have nothing but the severest
ceusure for that diabolism that
seems to be increasing in our land
which has for its object of attack
our wives and daughters. There is

Jim Washington, an old Negro
who was born and raised on plan
tation near Hallettsville, Mo-, has
invented and obtained patent on
an improved cotton baling press.
1t is claimed by those who have
examined the invention that it will
revolutionize the present method
of handling cotton. Instead of
having TO treat cotton to the two
processes of ginning and baling
will be done at one time. Cotton
men are much interested in the
invention.

Ware & LeIand,s Market Letter.

The bureau report on condition today was higher than the majority of op- orators expected. II was S2.9 against S3.3 last month, 74.9 last year and 91.6 in 1904, and ten-year average of s2.4 These figures about hit the conservative expec- tation but evidently large following of professionals had gone long on the idea that they would be closer to 30 or 81 than to s. and the liquidation of this inter est together with some rather strenuous short selling by local bears caused luite a respectable decline for dull market
 Around il o'clock considerable activity was manifested. but soon after the mar ket was about as dull as 1t was before the figures were read out. On the read ing of figures October broke from 10.17 to 10 II.
 Before the noon hour the price was pushed down to 10.07 or 10 points under the level ruling just before Il a. m.. and 12 points lower than the level of yester- days closing.
 While some bears might have expected a report as high as A they were quite content with the figures issued and with the fact that the condition given was 5 per cent higher than the ten-year aver age. Texas showed up surprisingly well as it's condition was put at s6 vs. s2 last month.
