NEGRO PROBLEM NOW
CHURCH'S GREAT ISSUE
OnIyTTSOIutiOn is Spreading
Gospel.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 21.
(SpeciaD Unless the church takes
hold of the negro problem a reign of
vice and crime will result, was the
opinion expressed by Rev. DR.. David
S. Kennedy, at a meeting OF the Pres
byterian Synod Of Pennsylvania held
Friday when DR. Kennedy said that
unless the Church gave the black man
the gospel the country would face the
worst period that has ever confront
ed it. The delegates listened in start
led silence, but broke into applause
when he said that the only solution
was the presentation of the word of
Cod.

the case of the freedman" he began.

the very forefront and is engaging

VIRGINIA DELEGATION
SOLIDLY DEMOCRATIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 21.-
(SpeciaD Virginia Democrats say
they are going to send a solid delega-
ton of Democrats to Congress in the
future. Colonel Campbell Slemp,
who died few days ago, was the lone
Republican from Virginia in Con-
gress, and the Democrats of the Old
Dominion say he will be the last.
1t has been generally conceded that
Colonel Slemp carried his district by
the power of his own personality.
Colonel Slemp was himself a Demo-
crat till 1880. During the war he serv-
ed in the Confederate Army. 1t is
said by Democrats that the people
of his district are by inheritance,
association and principle Democrats.

PRAISES SCHOOL FOR
ME6RO BOYS AND GIRLS
Never Saw Neater Place. >
Says MIR. |. G. Council.

Il have never seen a neater place
in my life than the Americus Insti-
tute."
This was the statement made by
Mr.. Lee G. Council after a visit to
Prof. Reddick's school for negro boys
and girls.
81 went over the buildings and ev-
erywhere there was cleanliness ap-
parent. The kitchen was a model of
neatness. If Prof. Reddick can in
still such cleanliness as this into the
boys and girls he is educating he is
doing great thing for his race and
for the white people of the South.
"The improvement of the colored
people along the lines of personal and
general cleanliness means much to
this section. Prof. Reddick is giving
an object lesson, apparently, in clean
liness to every boy and girls in the
school, to the parents and friends
who visit them, and to the colored
public at large, that may bear good
fruit.
There was another phase of the
work that interested and gratified me.
That was the industrial end The
principal is trying to get the girls
to be good housewives and the boys
to take to some industry that will
enable them to earn good living
and be productive factors in the
development of the South. No race
ever got up except on a basis of in
dustry and | am glad to see that Prof.
Reddick is putting this fact into
the heads of the boys and girls in
his Institute. Literary learning is
all right, but the colored race will
never become more respected and en-
joy life more through such learning
only. 1t must rise to a better scale
of living through intelligent and
earnest industry.
yes, I think the Americus Insti-
tute, as long as it is conducted on
these lines is doing a good work for
this section and for the negro boys
and girls, by fitting them to become
good citizens. 1t seems to have a
level man in charge and one who
is sincerely in earnest in what he is
doing for the real betterment of his
people,
1t is understood that Principal
Reddick has nearly completed the
raising of $1,000, which will entitle
him to another $1,000 from the Gen
eral Education Fund. This money is
to be used in the extension of the
work of the Institute.

Of God let herself take a secondary
place? We must face it and face it
at once. You cannot paint this ques-
ton too black, but the blacker you
paint it the greater becomes the re-
sponsibility Of the Church and the
greater the need to reach a solution
Nothing can solve this issue with
wisdom but the sure word 'of God,
the word of Christ, who placed the
burden upon His people when He
said, Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature
and the black man is one OF the crea@
lures meant by the Saviour.
There is the command-give him
the gospel 1 don't care what you
say about him, how much you paint
the negro and how much you hate
him; you may hate him, as intensely
as the Jew hated the Samaritan, buG
by the teaching of Jesus this black
man is your neighbor, and this sweeps
away every objection that may be
raised"

WEEKS COUNT OF
INCOMING MAILS
Business of local Office
Nearly $3.50.

Results from the counting of mail
matter received at the Americus post
Office for the seven days ending at
midnight Saturday, were handed to
Postmaster Mitchell yesterday by
Mr.. A. B. Howard, mailing clerk.
The counting was general over
the country, the figures being for the
use of the Government in various
ways. Some offices were permitted
to. suspend the back-stamping of let
ters during the week, but local office
kept right on with all departments as
usual, the counting being an added
task. The work was however done
with promptness by Mr.. Howard and
his assistants, and outgoing mail was
little, if any delayed.
1t is the opinion of Mr. Howard
that the receipt of mail during the
past week was not as heavy as the
average. The total collections from
outgoing mail for the seven days was
nearly $3.50. Using the receipts for
the week as basis, it would indicate
an annual business of considerably
above $4,000.
AS this is the first time such a count
has been taken it is impossible to
compare with other figures Post

EXAMINATION DAY SET.
Eighth Grade Announcement IL Mad,

Eighth Grade Announcement ls Made
by State superintendent.
State Superintendent Ustrud an
nounces May and as the dates for
the eighth grade examinations for the
different counties of the state.
The papers for the spring examina-
lions are all in but those of one or
two counties, showing that the total
number will be about $50. This Is
about the same number as for the
spring examinations last year, but not
as many as for the fall examinations.
Minnehaha county sends in the larg-
est number of papers for examination
by the board with thirty-five, and
Butte county sends only one set.
These papers cover only the applica-
tions from second grades up, the third
grade applications being by Tar the
largest number.
Under the new law, after the first of
July all applications for certificates OF
any grade whatever must come to the
office OF the state superintendent for
markings. This will mean far larg-
er amount OF ( work for that depart
ment, but it will be strung out to a
greater extent by examinations about
once in two months instead of two
each year as at present.

Aberdeen Club Plans Spectacular
Advertising Campaign.
Almost Immediately the Greater
Aberdeen club will begin its work OF
boosting Aberdeen, advertising the re-
sources OF the city and surrounding
country and Ii present plans do not
miscarry the chances are the neighbor-
ing states will hear of Aberdeen In a
way which will not let them forget
about 1t, and will leave the Inhabitants
talking OF not much else. Former Gov
ernor G. N. Herreid, president OF the
club has called meeting of the execu-
tive committee, and the chairmen OF
the other committees of the club will
call meetings of their committees with
out delay. The club plans on rather
spectacular but effective advertising
campaign. The idea is to charter a
special train and tour the neighboring
states with band, three singers and a
galaxy OF good speakers. A press
agent will be taken along and It will
be his duty to get up snappy stun con-
corning this section and to see that
1t Is printed wherever the party stops.
A fund can easily be raised for this
purpose, and In fact, most of the
money required is pledged now. The
advertising committee has prepared a
souvenir on Aberdeen and Brown
county which will soon be distributed
broadcast through the country.
