NOT ASHAMED
 0F HIS COLOR Reverend Sandefur, a Negro Minister, Says the Negro Should Be Proud of His Skin.
GET RID OF LOAFERS
He Says-Six Hundred Delegates Present at Negro Sunday School COnyentiOn-Negroes Being Taught Greek and Latin.

Fordyce, Ark, June 21.-"God made me a negro, and I think he kne \ ashamed of my race or color. I have never found my color against me in this country, but the thing l must fight and fight hard is ignorance was the declaration made by the Reverend Doctor T. s. Sandefur at the opening of the second days session of the Me- gro Baptist State Sunday school con- vention this morning.
 "We must work out our destiny in this country as negroes" he contin- ued, "for it is impossible to make a white man ] negro or to make a ne. gro white man. We should feel as proud of our color as the white man is of his color, and we only have ths hardest trouble when we seek to un- race ourselves. Teach the young ne gro race respect and race pride. The white man will respect you if you will do this.
 We have a number of young loaf CTS in this country that we must get rid of and this is the time to start. 1 am anxious to see the men who get in our Legislature, and who want to do something for the good of the people, to pass a law which will stop loafing, and this being done they will erect foc themselves a monument and do a last ing good to all the people,.
 The convention opened this morn ing with impressive song and praye.' service by Reverend H. c. Ang1in, Okolona. The committee on enroll ment reported, showing 500 delegates present. Following this Professor Jo seph A. Booker, D. D., president ot the Arkansas Baptist college, deliver ed a short address in which he con- graduated the convention on the good work being accomplished by it. "We are striving to make men and women out of our boys and girls,' he said, "and industrious men and women at that In the college we are teaching them Greek and Latin, and we are teaching them how to work at the same time."
 Reverend William o. Davis, deliver ed an address. A large amount of business was transacted.

DEEP SEA FISHING
WITH AID OF KITE

There are fish stories and fish stories,
but the one told by Edward Wilson. a
clerk In the bureau OF revision OF
taxes, TO his friends in the Office upon
his return recently from a week spent
at ocean City, would appear to be the
record breaker.
On his junket Clerk Wilson was ac-
companied by 4 ten-year-old nephew.
whose chief possession was a huge box
kite, with which the lad each evening
amused himself at the seashore. One
evening Wilson, according to the story.
saw the lad flying his kite. which had
been driven by a contrary wiEd far out
to sea. Being OF an inventive frame OF
mind the city employee decided that by
attaching q line and baited hook TO the
kite he might be able to do a little
deep sea fishing from the shore, He
accordingly called on the lad to bring
IN his kite, and without the loss OF
any time attached to it a fifty foot
Tire on the end OF which he attached
an attractive bait
When the kite had risen TO a stuff
cient height he cast line and bait into
the ocean somewhat in the manner that
fly fishers for trout and bass employ,
Hardly had the line had time to sink
beneath the waves when the youngsteE

pulling in. what was his surprise to

NEW YORK. Aug. a.-The American
Ilfe-saving Society having. ON August
II successfully brought TO conclusion
one of the greatest long-distance races
ever held fer amateurs, has decided that
such events are wanted. both by com
uetitors and public, and the spectacular
race from the Battery 10 Coney Island
Is TO be repeated on September 5, this
time with professional swimmers and
Hfe-savers, instead OF amateurs.
Most followers OF aquatic sports are
anxious TO see how amateurs and pro-
fessionais compare in long-distanee
swimming. and they Will hail with en-
tnusiasm a chance to Judge Of their re-
spective merits, but the fact should not
be lost sight OF that the winer of the
last amateur contest, Louis Manley, OF
the New York A. c.. does not compare
as a distance man with Bud Goodwin,

that Mr. Cookers indispOsition 20 kow-
