BITTER CONTEST
Persian Ruler Accepts De-

Lack Of Co-Operation Between Shah

parliament Of a manifesto on Tues
day which set forth that shah was
violating his covenant with the peo-
pie and stating that the rights of the
people will not be permitted to be

causes of the Persian crisis are to be
found in the Indignation of the people

THAT much had been accomplished
even If an end was not put to the

Should the visit OF r. X Smith
head of the leaf department of the
American Tobacco company. to Win
chester on January and later to the
warehouse of the Green River Dis
trict association, bring about the
sale of a considerable part of the to-
hacco now in pool, more will have
been done than any man had the
temerity to predict before the meet
ing was held.
Big Sale Expected.
That a sale will be made. and a
big one. Is frequently forecast by the
tobacco men here who know the tenn
per Of the private meeting that was
held >ey Mr.. Smith with the execu-
tive committee of the Buriey Tobacco
society. At that meeting the discus
sion reached the point where even
details, such as the methods of grad
ing were taken up. and If Mr.. Smith
offers a price bringing a fair profit
to the growers there Is little doubt
that a big Quantity OF the leaf held
by the society will change hands.
The sensational speech OF Chdef
Justice Edward c.. O'Rear and the
vigorous rejoinder by Gov. Wilson
continues to be the topic of discus
sion at add quarters. While the
chief justice undoubtedly made him
self solid with some of the growers,
his speech Is being severely criti-
cised in other quarters, and some go
even so far as to say that Judge
O'Rear Is a bidder for sensational
honors and sees a possibility of OBJ
tanning enough Democratic votes to
add to the Republicans in the gener-
al assembly TO give him the necessary
seventy votes.

as the rise and development Of our
literature. careful survey Of the
field from 1880 tor 1890, shows aston
ishingly large number Of productions
in history, biography, religion, poet
ry and pure literature. These boLks
supply ample food for the rising Ne
gro to feed upon in his endeavor to
climb the ladder of fame. honor and
distinction. Negro Literature is as
you all know, not widely known but
we hope this state of affairs will not
long exist. That the scope and n
iuence of our literature may he
broadened and the Negro recognized
as writer and literary worker.
Besides his advancement in educa-
ton, industry and literature, the
Negro has evidenced brave and
courageous spirit. He has not be-
trayed a trust left to him and when
ever it has been necessary for him
to take up arms he has done so I'M
1inchingly. He has gone into the
thickest Of the fray and has shed his
blood for God and his country for
liberty and right. The Negro has
also shown a persevering spirit and
it matters not how hard the trials
or how great the danger he is al
ways happy. In the late war with
Spain when the soldiers were march
ing up San Juan Hill and the Rough
Riders were under cross-t1re, the Ne.
groes showed happy disposition by
singing ''There1l be hot time in
this old town tonight" and the bat
sic that was fought til at night was
the turning point of the war.
AS the Negro ha, made such great
progress since his freedom we believe
that he will continue until he stands
on the same ground with his white
brother or until he is even superior
to him. His progress has not only
been great but has been marvellous.
But although the Negro has done so
much toward reducing hiss illiteracy
there is yet another thing for him
to learn. He must learn to help his
brother as we'll as himself. He must
learn to be proud of his black skin
and kinky hair. For though your
skin be fair as lily and your hair
as straight as can be. unless you
have character, will power and self
pride, you wi never be a true man

these talents is what will solve the |

in every avenue Of life. and ere long
our march of progress will re ended,
we will have reached the topmost
round of the ladder and the world
will recognize us as a race which OBJ
stacles and hardships couldn't keep
down. -LINNIE V. Mcdaniel.
