A WELCOME DEATH.

The most welcome news received
from Atlanta, Ga, within the last
six months was the announce
ment that the Atlanta News, an af-
ternoon newspaper published in
that city, had gone into liquida-
ton. 1t was this sheet which
through its offer of one thousand
dollars reward for a lynching in
Fulton County, its advocacy of Ku-
Kluxism and its sensational extras
proclaiming in boldface type al
legged criminal assaults committed
by Negroes, that brought about
the Atlanta massacre. 1t is a dis
tinct gain to the South that this
malevolent sheet, this breeder of
race hatreds, has died. 1t would
have been better for Atlanta had
the news never been born. In its
last will and testament, as it were,
the subscription lists, advertising
accounts, and good will were left
to the Atlanta Georgian, Of which

T|LLMAN'S THRESH|NG,

"I'm not arguing with you, I'm
telling you,' the artist Whistler
once declared to a would-b dispu-
tant. In much the same spirit
Senator Spooner took occasion the
other day to inform Senator Till
man in plain terms as to tbs man.
ner in which he is regarded by the
majority of his fellow citizens. 1t
is regretable that there should be
necessity for thus holding up to
public scorn a member of the ma
tion's highest legislative body, but
that it was somebody's duty to do
so cannot be denied. Tillman is
the bad boy of the senate. His
chastment once in so often is a
public duty, disagreeable one,
but unavoidable. Senator Spoon
er should receive the thanks of
grateful nation for performing the
Job in such neat, workmanlike
manner.
In his advocacy of resistance to
the law Tillman is virtually an an
archist. The amount of evil this
man has wrought by his public
support of lynching and tanning
of the flame of race prejudice can
never be eetimated. Tillman is
thick skinned. He can endure
much chastisement, but under
Senator Spooner's artistic applica-
ton of the lash he squirmed visib-
ly. This is good sign. Let the
well-deserved punishment be con-
tinued at every opportunity. Till
man has developed from a nation
al nuisance to malodorous dis
grace.--Pittsburg Times.

"DOn't Fit Negroes Shoes"

The above was the information
received by DR.. S. S. Caruthers,
from a clerk in the store of Cline
and Gordon last week, when he
asked to be shown a pair of shoes.
DR.. Caruthers states, that he en-
tered the store of Cline and Cor
don, and in very polite way, ask
ed to be shown d pair of shoes, to
fit himself, and the reply in very
mean and abrupt manner. 1--WE
don't fit shoes on niggers," was
handed out to him. There are a
great many Negroes who wear
shoes from the store of Cline and
Gordon, and we wonder, is it true
that they buy shoes through Ne
gro agents try them on at home
or on the street, and take chances
on being fitted and satisfied. How

that the fire came from the town.
Sanders was cross-examined by
Senator Warner. He repeated
that many of the shots came from
the town, and said that he had re-
ported this fact to Major Penrose,
although it did not appear in his
evidence taken by Captain Lyons.
Sanders stated that that there were
about nine guns out of the COM
pany's racks on the night of the
shooting, but they were all ac-
counted for.

WORDS OF ADVICE

The colored men who are en-
ployed as porters, walters and
cooks or in fact any kind of posi-
ton, niay expect competition from
the Japanese and Chinemen who
are pouring into this country by
the hundreds, and who are indus
trious, frugal and saving The
time is at hand that this class of
colored men, who have held their
places for the last forty years, or
rather all their lives, begin to open
their eyes and prepare for the
struggle that is yet to come. Be
punctual, polite and attentive, and
save your money. Invest it in
farm land, real estate and the like,
and when you are not wanted in
these public jobs you will be in a
position to make one for yourself.
We spend entirely too much mon
ey foolishly and profiigately, par
ticularly that class of workers. If
we had only saved 10 per cent of
our earnings and invested it in
real estate and other business, we
would have been much further ad-
vanced than we are today. The
colored man must get a move on
himself, or be forever lost, There
is no excuse for high living by ape
ing people who are wealthy, and
have had all the advantages for
years and still have. The fathers
and mothers of the younger gener-
alton must teach strict economy to
their children. Excursions and
automobiles, high priced clothing
and other luxuries too numer-
Gus to mention, which we could
not afford, have been curse. The
cause of our proverty can be traced
directly to this source of extrava-
giant pleasures and, too, in most
cases it has been spent with class
of people who do not appreciate
nor recognize us to this day Had
they spent their money for the few
necessities, and saved the rest for
needy times, or when it had
amounted to something, they would
have been great deal better off in
every particular. And another
great mistake we have made and
are still making is that we spend
our money in most cases with
white men who will give every ma
tionclity upon Gods green earth a
position except the colored man.
And yet we continue working and
tugging at our menial positions,

1t ought to be easy for men to
secure employment in these days
of great industrial activity, where
the worlds work must be done in a
hurry. But women who want to
work or who are compelled to make
a living for themselves do not find
it so easy. This paper has been
carrying from week to week CON-
mon sense discussions on business
chances and opportunities. We
confine ourselves this week to the
paying work for young women and
girls. If these girls could only be
led to interest themselves in this
subject and work out their own in
dependence they would save them
selves from the pit falls and temp
tations of society as well as the ne
cessity of relying upon others for
support.

opportunities for self improvement.
This class of work is not overcrowd-
ed as much as one would think.
The separate schools in the South

Claude Smith, 16 years old, a
young colored boy, the first and
only colored member of the Boon
vile, Ind, High School, defeated
his 81 classmates in a recent ex-
animation. Smith was the stu
dent who obtained full credit on
his mathematics, and he fell only
a few points below in his other
studies. None of the white stu
dents equaled the record of Smith.
When he was enrolled as a member
of the High School the feeling be-
tween the white male students and
the colored lad was anything but
good. Several students made at
tempts to haze him. One of the

JUDGING FURS''
A New Book on an Old Subject.
Read with Interest and
Easy to Get.

The country doctor probably makes a
better combination of common horse sense
mixed with scientific knowledge than any
ordinary man. AT any rate mis- example may
we'll be followed touching the use of furs for
health. The successful country doctor wears
furs-generaly he owns fur overcoat Tor a
fur-lined coat) and he wears st, too.
In the northern climate fur garment is a
health necessity. People get along without
furs as they get along without many things,
but mans wardrobe is not complete with
out fur coat, and, with the other side of the
house no argument is necessary every
woman needs furs-she needs them for health;
she ought to have them for comfort and she
wants them for their beauty Ind style.
Nothing adds so much to the effectiveness Of
dress as furs.
A new book, nicely illustrated and easily
read in a half hour-written from the view
point of the purchaser and wear7r of furs
rather than that of the dealer or manufacturer,
is just from the press, published by Lanpher,
Skinner & Co., the St. Paul fur 'nanufact-
urers, whose product is on sale in the leading
retail store of every town in the Northwest
and sold from Maine to Oregon.
This book is called "Judging Fu-s.
If any of our readers have any interest IN
furs, either for themselves or as presents to
friends-men, women or children-thls book
is worth asking for-which is all it costs.
A mention of this paper will be appreciated.

Fight on Harvester Trust.

During the past two years the state
prison Irvine plant has been materially
enlarged; the output amounting during
this period to 24,500,00O pounds, which
was sold at a price amounting to ST..
100000. It is conservatively estimated
that the farmers of this state have
been benefited to the extent of at least
3 cents per pound, amounting to ap.
proximately $750,000, while the state
at the same time has made a net profit
of $410,000, thus yielding during the
two years a net profit to the state and
the citizens thereof of more than ST.
100000. The National Cordage com.
pany, a subsidiary corporation of the
international Harvester company, has
commenced making twine from fax
fibre in this state for the evident pur-
pose Of competing with the state prod
uct. To meet this situation and to
protect the state interests the law
should most certainly be amended to
permit the sale of the prison made
Irvine outside of the state in order
that we may meet any effort made by
the Irvine trust to throttle our plant
inside of state lines. Further, there
seems to be a feeling upon the part of
our citizens in favor of making farm
machinery at the state prison to COM
pete with the trust; that is, the manu-
facture of such machinery as is now
not made in the state. I believe a
departure could be made along this
line which would prove of great ad-
vantage to the agricultural interests
and I would suggest that the manage
ment at least be authorized to investi-
gate the feasibility with power to act
In conclusion Governor Johnson rec

she might have informed him that

had made her late at work for some
