OMMUNICATIONS
Passing of the "eood Negro"

Almost daily there are announce
ments in the Southern newspapers of
the death of some old ex-slave. The
men and women who lived under the
regime of slavery as slaves are rapid
ly passing away; but this is to be ex-
pected according to the allotment and
limitation of human life. Were they
blessed with the three-score years ana
ten, the conditional biblical allotment
OF mans earthly career, it is clearly
evident that they have but a few more
years to live. Hence the RAPIDLY
passing of the old ex7slaves is but the
working Of the ordinary law of ma,
ture. Were the accounts of the deaths
OF the old ex-slaves given as mere
items OF news out of real regard for
their memory as once worthy men and
women belonging to another genera
ton and to another sort of ciyiliza-
ton, then there would be no criticism
of all this gushing in the newspapers
over the demise of some "old black
nanny" or some faithful old negro"
of the old type. There would be no
mention of the passing of the "black
mammies" and BLACK daddies," were
it not that an opportunity is furnished
thereby to take a fling at their equally
worthy but more refined and intelli-
gent offspring. Every such an ac.
count n reads in the papers of the
South of the death of an ex-slave
bears the same ear-marks of every
other such announcement which has
appeared in their columns for MANY
years past. The fulsome newspaper
write-ups which lay such stressful EN-.
phasis upon the good traits. honesty
and faithfulness of the deceased
black nanny" or daddy" nave
lost their hold upon the interest of
the reading public These attempts to
stigmatize the living by eulogizing the
dead have become so frequent as to
grow stale, palling on the public
taste. There is not any of the present
generation who do not love the few re.
naming members of the past genera.
ton and will honor their memory
when they pass away. But it is no dis
arrangement to them to say that thew
have left worthy representatives OF
their many virtues in their scions
who are more competent and su
perior to them in many ways. The
opportunities of the present genera
ton have been superior to their ia
theirs, hence it is prominently better
prepared to discharge it's various du
ties and accomplish it multifariouS
tasks than were they. The sons have
stepped to the fore with a broader
mental horizon and greater and lof
tier incentives to prick the sides O
their ambition than their fathers nos
sessed. This keeping pace with the
progress Of the times, despite all man
ner of proscriptive opposition, has
been a thorn in the side of the preiu
diced opposers of the present-day Ne
gro. These opposers lose no chance
to make a wicked, vicious fling a
him. This is perfectly patent by the
constant attempts to show that the
old eX-slayes possess virtues of which
their children are devoid. The writ
ers OF these squibs of news know the,
are gross Misrepresentation But tC

Carter Conpany's
Friction Driven
Machine Shown

The Motorcar company Of Detroit
manufacturers Of the Garter car. who
claim to have made the first successful
frictiOn-driven automobile. had an In
teresting exhibit on the first floor OF
the Palace show.
A chassis is shown In motion and the
transmission system IS fully explained
This consists Of a large aluminium frs
ton disk and a friction wheel with fiber
rim. To start the car, the friction wheel
is brought in contact with the disk
which is positively rotated by the motor
and constantly revoIves IN one direction
when the latter IS IN motion
To increase the speed, the one lever
is moved forward. throwing the friction
wheel further toward the outer edge OF
the friction disk, the highest speed being
when 1t reaches the edge. To reverse.
the friction wheel is simply shifted TO
the other side OF the center. This also
applies an effective, sensitive. and pow
erful brake
