Brothers, attentionl
Thoughtful men have long foreseen the
day when the negroes OF this state would
be compelled in self defense to organize
and by united aud determined effort ops
pose tile criminal element Of the race or
suffer the consequences OF passive indiffer-
ence.
The time is here and now. The situa-
ton is appalling. A plain aud unvar-
nislled statement Of proven facts for q
period Of ten years past constitutes hor-
ribie record Of crime against property and
persons by negroes.
Il is question not of politics but Of
morals, not Of party but Of good citizen
ship. IIis Of vital interest 10 both races
and all classes. There is remedy and il
innst be found.
Shall We wait till white men, aroused
by this perpetual menace to the peace
and prosperity Of tie state, seek by dras-
tic legislation affecting the whole race to
stamp ont the brutal element? Or shall
we ourselves essay the task Of altering
condition so baneful
:. We can do it. Shall We be too timid or
too indolent to try?
/ have no authority TO speak for all
my people but | have a deep personal in
terest i'll proving that love for crime and
sympathy with criminals is by no means
an inherent element in negro character.
So, at the risk Of being called ofieious, |
propose state convention for the pur-
pose Of considering this subject aad Il Q
adoption of plan Of action to secure
the end desired. Let all who are like
minded write me at once and If the idea
eets with favor a time and place for
such convention will be fixed and thecall
issued.

airy First.

The movement of grain will begin
here about the middle OF December
and from that TIME until the open
ing Of Spring We will have all the
business we can handle" stated MIR.
Walter S. Upshur. manager of the
Chesapeake & Ohio grain elevators,
yesterday in discussing the local
grain trade.
There has been tremendous corn
crop in the West this year, but the
seasoning weather has been poor, de-
laying the first movement to the East
for about three weeks" continued
Mr.. Upshur. THE present indlca.
tons are that the output of corn at
this port will be larger this winter
than during the preceding winter, but
at this time | am unable to say
whether or not the shipments Of oats
and barley will equal those of last
year"
When the grain movement com.
mences elevator a will be able to
take care of the trade, but it is ex.
pected that it will be necessary to
reopen elevator B about the first OF

period.
Confer With Grain Shippers.
AT a. convention of the European
grain associations, held in London
about a week ago, a resolution was
passed condemning all American In.
spections and a committee was ap.
pointed to confer with American
grain shippers on the question of in
spection. This committee will meet
the United States shippers in New
York in the near future and it is ex.
pected that the differences between
the European associations and the
American shippers will be adjusted at
that time.
II is understood that the foreign
grain associations want the American
shippers to insure the delivery of
grain in Europe. instead of on ship.
board in this country as heretofore.
The American shippers, 1t is said,
have no objection to this plan. pro.
vided the foreign associations agree
TO pay 1-2 per cent. insurance OIL
