Representative James Matthews

Democratic Congressional committee,
will be In New York early next week.
He will be accompanied by his first
lieutenant, Representative EAton
Jackson Bowers, Of Mississippi. These
two leaders are going to the metro.

Democratic com mittee needs money
and 1t needs 1t badly, and Messrs.
Grlggs and Bowers are going to In

1t is the found expectation of Mr..
Griggs that William Randolph
Hearst, n Of the most eminent coin
collectors Of this party. will hand
over a generous contribution to the
Congressional committee.
Mr.. Griggs is grievously dissppoint-
ed over the acknowledgment OF a let
ter he recently forwarded to Senator
Clark, OF Montana, the multi million"
aire, who, 1t was believed, would con.
sent to q separation from some Of his
means for the good Of the party" In
the fall campaign. The customary
invitation to deliver q number Of
speeches was sent to Senator Clark,
and 1t was expected that reply would
be received In the shape Of q good
SIZED check. MIR. Clark replied that
he wCuid be busy In Montana this fall
and that he would not be able to visit
any other State. The envelope con.
talning his letter was shaken again

Wants His People to Become Bread
winners with Good Morals.
The Chattanooga, Tenn, Darby
Times, Of July "a, says: The enter.
tainment given at the auditorium
last night under the auspices OF the
oolored department. of the Y. M. q.
A. was a signal SUCCESS, a number Of
white people being present besides
possibly 1000 negroes.
The principal event Of the evening
was the address Of Il. e. Miller, Of
Oiangeburg, S. o., president Of the
state college Of South Carolina for
negroes at that point. He was con-
gresham from that district to the
ifty-first congress as we'll az being a
member of the state legislature Of
South Carolina for a number Of years.
His subject was the needs of educa
tion for the negro race. He said that
when Booker II. washington first
started out with his doctrine OF q
tooth brush and q bar of soar as the
first needs Of the negro, he considered
him narrow-minded, listening to him
with horror and disgust. Now,
however, he said, The has broadened
OUT and l admire him when he gets
upon the platform and asks every.
thing for the negro, that the white
man has"
He evidently did not approve of In
dustrial education as the salvation Of
the negro, as he said he wanted o
thorough education that would per.
meate every GRE ice where there was
a negro and make them the equal Of
ail, making every little negro girl a
princess to rule in her community.
We need that education that will
make us bread winners and rulers OF
our Own homes.
II would not give ten cents for q
white boy or girl who oan only scan q
poem or rattle On q piano and cannot
make a cup OF tea or cook q 'beefsteak
or biscuit when tho servant is away"
He said he felt the same way about
the negro. They should all have a
trade before they went higher.
We want the education that will
lift us up and make us the 'qual Of
any race or any people regardless of
the color OF our skin or the kinks Of
our hair.
Let us give thanks for the new
south which INTENDS to do right by
the negro, for they do intend to treat
the negro right.
Don't go Off and say / told you TO
get the dollar. No, l say the moral
dollar, for the white race cannot build
up on an immoral dollar"
He sought to impress upon his
audience the Importance OF saving
and owning their own homes, thus
making themselves respected citizens,
who should cast their ballot for the
pure man regardless Of publitic or
combinations.
He closed by making an appeal to
the negro as a ace to upl.f0 them.
selves, saying that II they tried to do
right, the white race would assist
them, rs they were all under the
same God, and all brothers in time Of
need.

Gov, Hayward Friday committed to
life imprisonment the sentenc { Bob

sentence of death In Darlingth jail.
Smalls was sentenced to be haired in
May Of last year, but an appeal was
taken to the supreme court. A. new
trial could notb be obtained and the
case then came up to Gov. Hey ward.
Bob Smalls and John Noll were uwo
vsgabond white men working at q
saw mill in Darlington county. They
killed q hard working negro named
Frank Scott on the 9th of March,
1905. Scott had shot q dog belonging
to q Mr.. Harper for whom the white
mon were working. Scott was stop
ped on the public highway by these
two young white men and was shot
down without provocation. The as
sailants we're drinking. They perhaps
acted more In q spirit of bravado than
with intent to murder, for the wound
was in Frank Scott's thigh and his
death was caused by an artery being
severed.
After Scott was wounded, and after.

wound, Noll, In q savage and reckless
spirit fred at Mr.. HoWle, a white
farmer, who was demonstrating with
the two young men. Noll was son.
fenced to serve for life and Smalls
was sentenced 10 be hanged.
Gov. Hayward has been deluged
With petitions In Smalls' behalf. Ii
was stated that this man was hardly
responsible. He had never known
the difference between right and
wrong and has expressed great peni-
tence since. There have been more
petitions In behalf Of this man than
for any other prisoner whose life has
been demanded by the law since Gov.
Hayward came into office.
The prosecution endeavorod to show
because Of an alleged threat
Smalls had made. A witness who
could not be obtained at the time Of
the trial has since made an afldavit
that SmallB did not make such a
threat at the time specified. This re-
