New York, June .1.-Addressing in
Brooklyn the New York Annual Con-
ference of the African Methodist Epis-
copal church Friday, Bishop Alexander
Walters. who is president of the Afro
American Council, directed attention
to the fact that the next convention
of the council had been called to meet
In Baltimore and said that the meet
ing would be Of much significance to
the Negroes Of the country. In address
ing himself to various phases Of the
race question he said:-
."The cry today is, down with man
hood, whether white or black man
hood, and up with material gain. 1t
'is apparent to all that principle has
given way to policy in the halls of
legislation and the marts of commerce.
It, is policy, policy, policy, while prin-
ctpie is set aside. No race of people
feel; this more keenly than the Negro
race. We have been, pleading for
years for simple justice, but we have
been told TO wait, that materialism
occupied the throne"
=, Scores Indifference toJhynching.,
* In discussing lynching the bishop
said
= "Atl of this wickedness, after years
OF agitation on the part of the pulpit
and press, both North and South
shows us how deeply seated is preju-
dice against the black man in this
country. Notwithstanding the thou
sands of victims who have been brtf
tally murdered by lynchers in the past
twenty years, and the scores who
aYe-been burned at the stake, still
congress looks on indiffcrently, and so
far as l know, has not in all these
years passed law attempting to
check this nefarious business which
is undermining the judicial system
and will finally overthrow all law"
Our leaders, he said in conclusion
should urge our brethren to prepare
to meet the qualification for suffrage,
make application to be registered and
wherever it is possible to vote. Let us
wage an unrelenting warfare upon

rains the work has been very much
delayed. -:t;E
A few days ago Frey enlisted all the
laborers he could find in Hillsboro,
and even then Frey was unable to Sc
cure sufficient men. He imported a
number OF Negroes from St. Louis.
This infuriated the Hillsboro labor
ers to such an extent that dire threats
were made against the Negroes if they
persisted in continuing work. Nineteen
of the Negroes accepted the threats
and quit work, returning to st. Louis.
The remaining force of Negroes are
still at work and there, is grave fear

TENANT FARMERS SCARCE.
Texas Negroes Are DESERVING the
BraZOs Bottoms.

Marlin, Tex, June 1.-The securing
tenants for Brazos bottom farms is
much more difficult now than has ever
been experienced by land owners. This
trouble commenced a few years ago
and has about reached the point Of a
perplexity.
y The theory is advanced that the Ne
gro Is emigrating to the North and to
the West. The writer approached own
ers of farms In the Brazos bottom
and all agree that the difficulty un-
questlonably exists to the detriment
of all planters, but Is not the effect
OF single cause; that while it is true
many Negroes have gone to other Sec
tions and have thus contributed to
this dearth OF farm labor, many of
them have also gone to the nearby
prairtes where large bodies OF, land
heretofore used for pasturage spur-
poses have been converted into farms.
-' Many Nave gone to some of the
large cities in Texas where institu-
t1ons employing laborers have grown
to greater proportions and demand
more hands than formerly; also more
Negroes are used ae section hands and
for such work on railroads than was
the case a few years ago.
