Some Tendencies of
the Negro Race

There are other colored races, but
only one negro race. The term is
not only descriptive, but generic, and
in its very derivation belongs to the
race. Then it is digni1ed, and means
something. 1t is compromising the
negros individuality to call him any
thing else. The term negro has his
tory behind it. and character under it
and any other appellation is not only
unracial, but undeserVed. The poor
colored" man may do for song, and
the "colored brother for politics,
Tut only sentimentalists and cranks
employ these expressions when treat
ing of the race as a distinctive
people.
There has been much literature on
the negro since the war, but the most
of these writer's may be divided into
two clagses, fanatics and igno-
ramuses. If a northern man. writes
upon the subject he usually displays
both his fanaticism and his ignorance
and the southerner will usually let
his prejudice color his opinion. Even
the negro, when writing about him
self, Is untitled for the job. / doubt

can write dispaSSiOnately upon the
subject am liable to the same mis-
takes as others, but what l say in
this article say kindly. had rather
do some injustice to the white man
than any to the negro, for the white
man can stand it and the negro can
not.
There is no denial of the fact that
the percentage of crimes among the
negro is largely in excess of what it
is with the whites in any community
where he abounds. To deal with him
fairly I am forced to say that this
is not entirely due to his natural
criminal tendency. He is always
more carefully watched, and more
severely criticised than the white
man, and any candid lawyer Of ex-
Uerience will tell you that in the
courts he is more easily convicted
and that few of them ever ESCAPED
punishment where punishment is de-
served. Perhaps he is entitled 10 all
he gets and it is the white man,
rather, who misses what belongs to-
him.

How to Make
A Newspaper PAY.

In telling the South Carolina Press
Association how TO make a country
weekly pay, A. B. Jordan, among
Other good advice, gave this:
Impress upon delinQuents the fact
that the dollar they owe you is a inst
and honorable debt; that YOU expect
them 70 pay it the very day il is
due. Beat il into them. Demand
from them the same prompt. honest,
just business methods and dealings
the business world demands OF YOU.
Let them understand that you employ
the same stern. rigid, infexible bush
nGss methods In the management Of
ycur business that are employed by
the greatest financial corporation in
the world, and then will the accounts
on your subscription book be worth
dollar for dollar, your paper viii com
mand the admiration and respect Of
every one who reads tt. the publisher
VII naturally be drawn into closer
union with the leading business men
or his community, and those of his
patrons who scorned him for lax
business methods viii admire him for
his strict adherance to common bust
ness principles.
The South Carolina newspaper
man has told the whole secrecy Of
newspaper prosperity. Too many
newspaper men. particularly those Of
the smaller papers, have had an idea
that, because their business was
small. there was not the necessity for
strict business methods which every
one realizes must and do obtain in
the larger business enterprises.
No greater mistake has ever been
made. A newspaper business is just
ike any other business and It must
be conducted on the same business
principles. Many newspaper men
hesitate to press the collection Of a
small subscription account because
they are afraid that the subscriber
win become offended and stop his pa
per. Il does not seem TO occur TO
them that II a subscriber cannot pay
q small account he certainly cannot
Jay q large one, and that IL he is not
going TO pay at all, the best thing
that can be done is to stop his paper.

The Meaning of
Pensacola's Bond Sale.

NE sale last week OF the $500,
OO0.O0 block Of AZ per cent, 80
year. Pensacola Improvement Bonds
for S8OG156.OO. was a testimonial tC
Rnacols's high credit that the bust
ness world will not be slow TO recog
uize.
These bonds brought the highest
price that has, in recent years, been
paid for any Florida municipal bonds
higher even than that paid for Jack
smTflle's recent issue, and higher
than municipal bonds for cities OF
Pensacola's size have brought almost
anywhere throughout the country.
The sale speaks well for the bond
trustees. Messus. L. H. Green, W. X.
Hyer, Jr.. and ]. NJ. Pfeiner, who put
1t through, but It speaks stil better
for the Deep Wster City itself. The
purchasers Of these bonds were not
looking merely at the Pensacola of
to-day. They saw in the future a
great city, a railroad terminus TEEN
ing with the outgoing commerce OF
the interior. a deep water port laden
with the gigantic import and export
trade which the Panama canal will
bring to Pensacola. They were look
ing forward to a time when these
same Pensacola bonds will sell in the
open market for a much higher price
even than the purchasers paid for
them now-and they probably did
Tot place that time in the very dis
tant future either.
The sale Of these bonds has shown
70 the world at large what the keen
est business minds think Of Pensa-
cola and what faith they have in her
future. No higher or more conelu-
slve testimonial could be paid to her
business stability than this.

operations would be pursued upon the
same grounds and the goods sent into
the United States with an additional
cost of duties.
Matters are quite unsettled at pres
ent, and It is difficult to forecast the
ultimate outcome, but it would appear
that the increased production and con.
sequent decline Of prices through the
continuance Of the new method, can
only result in the greatest good to the
greatest number. Yours very truly.
