To the Members and Friends of the
Negro Business League of the
State of Virginia:
1t will be remembered that in our
last annual gathering. Suffolk was
designated as the place of meeting
this year. Wednesday, July 10th,
was the time set for the opening of

of the Negro business men and wo-
men in these annual gatherings is
doing much good TO advance the in
terest of our race. IL makes no
difference how much wealth and pros
perity there may be among the race,
IL cannot be very effective in giving
the race power. influence and pro-
per respect unless the progressive,
business element get together in or
ganizations-for in union there IS
strength
We, therefore. call upon all the
local leagues, all the business men
and women, and those who follow
professional, industrial and domestic
pursuits, to meet us in Suffolk, July
10th, in our third annual gathering
for the express purpose OF taking in
to consideration those things which
will tenC to advance the cause of cur
race.
1t is expected that some of the Of
fcers Of the National Negro Business
League will be present. We shall
make an EFFORT to have with us DR..
Booker t. Washington and Fred. r.
Moore.
Suffolk is a beautiful, wide awake
hustling little city. It's colored pop
ulation is progressive and engaged in
many business pursuits. 1t is only
twenty-three miles from Norfolk, and
during the week of the Business
League, we will go over to the James
town Exposition II a body and hold
a session by the courtesy OF the OH

Although he may not know it, the

than in 1905, so the United States
Bureau of Labor, Of which Charles p.
Neill is Commissioner, declared in
making public the result of its an
nual inquiry into wages and prices
of food. In the principal manufac-
turing and mechanical industries Of
the country the average wages per
hour in 1906 we're 4.5 per cent higher
than in 1905, the hours of labor per
week 0.5 per cent lower, and the
number of employees in the establish
ments investigated was Z per cent
greater. The average full-time week
ly earnings per employe in 1906 were
SO per cent greater than in 1905.
The retail prices of food were 80
per cent higher in 1906 than in 1905.
In 1906 the purchasing power Of an
hours wages as expended for food
was IA per cent greater than In
1905 and the purchasing power OF a

river when the president makes his
next southern and western trip. Some
of Clemens admirers have been

Mark Twain was a Mississippi river
pilot, and Captain Bixby, an old
time river pilot, had promised to
stand his trick at the wheel a'opg
with Twain, if he could be induced
to steer the president S steamer down
the river, after attending the water
ways convention, to be held in Mem
phis next month. Mr.. Clemens, how
ever, has declined the invitation to
attend the convention.

The number Of roads to be worked
by contract has been increased by
several counties this month. Five
boards Of supervisors took this I'M
portant action at their meetings IN
September. The writer attended a
meeting to discuss the matter at
Raleigh in Smith county on the first
Monday and had invitations to be
with the boards in two other coun-
ties on the same date. Lawrence
county ratified the proposition with
vote taken on the date of the sec
ond primary election, the sentiment
for the contract system carrying by
an overwhelming majority. At the
Raleigh meeting the court house was
filed to overfowing with people In
terested in the project, either for or
against. And it is not so bad If they
who are against the proposition and
will come out to discuss and hear
discussed, the question. lnvestlga-
tion is most to be desired, and when
people become enough interested to
investigate, good results will surely
follow in time. The greatest need OF
Mississippi today, is better roads, and
the people are fast awakening to a
realization Of this fact. The near fu-
ture will see wonderful improvements
along the line Of better public high
ways.

Panama Canal Business.

Business is so rushing on the Pan
American Canal Zone that the canal
commission is taxed to the limit OF
its means of ocean transportation to
ship supplies and construction ma
terial from New York and New Or
leans to the isthmus. Accordingly, it
has found it necessary to call upon
the navy department for assistance.
Regardless of the fact that the navy
is in sore need of every collier atoat
to provide coal for the Pacific cruise
of the Atlantic fleet, it MAS been de-
cided to loan the refrigerator ship
Culgoa temporarily to the canal COM
mission.

Big Canal Is Too Small.

Will the Panama Canal be obsolete
for war and commercial purposes be-
fore it is completed, and will it pre-
vent the construction by the United
States of monster battleships ? These
questions will be submitted for the
next congress to answer. Under pres
ent plans the Panama locks are to
have width of 100 feet. The two
battleships will have beam of eigh-
Ay-fve feet. The most skillful tow
ing with only seven and one-half
feet of leeway on each side of one
of these ships would be necessary to
get them through the locks without
serious damage to the ships or the
locks or to both.

all Quarters

Prof. Clothier of the United State,
department of forestry, in an address
during the roundup institute at
the A. and M. college, gave the peo-
pie of Mississippi something to think
about in the way of preserving a
source of timber supply for the fu-
ture. This may not appeal strong
ly to the people on first thought, we
having given little or no attention
to the subject, but there is something
in it. At the present rate of con-
sumption it will only take about
Is years to denude our state of tim
Der. If some plan is not hit upon to
supply this deficiency, timber FAM
inc stares us in the face. More will
be said upon the subject from time
to time, and as the plans for coun-
teracting the trouble develop.

alcohol. Under the new conditions,

1t comes from reliable sources, that
if the roads of Mississippi are not
improved that in the near future a
number of the rural free delivery
routes now in operation will be aban-
doned. This is a matter that calls
for careful consideration at the hands
of our people. Shall we allow these
great conveniences to get away from
us on account of the lack of better
roads? Let's make the improvements
that will assure their perpetuity. The
cost will not be exhorbitant and the
advantages come in a great number
of ways besides the free delivery OF
mails.
The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-09-19

On November 21st, last year, the
writer in an address before the an
nual meeting of The Southern States
Commissioners of Agriculture being
held at Jacksonville, Fla, advocated
the use of low grades of cotton for
wrapping the staple, contending that
by the use of storm cotton, stains
and low grades an element would be
eliminated that was continually used
by the speculators to hammer the
price below what it should be. Hon.
Harvey Jordan in his Jackson adj
dress, some days since, used prac-
tically the same language in present.
ing the same point, the Union is max
ing campaign for cotton wrapping
and there is little doubt that the
scheme will be put into practical ap-
plication before mach more tame
elapses.
The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-09-19

Now that the Mississippi cotton
crop is moving it is safe to predict
that the money market will ease mp
to some extent. With the $100,0O0,-
600 that our cotton and seed will
bring, the $8oO,0oo,ooO the crop Of
the south ought to and will likely
put into circulation, money will soon
be easier. Few people ! realize the
enormity of this great crop. Fewer
still realize that the south has prac-
tically monopOlss in IT'S production.
ii. is imperative, awever, that i'm
proved methods ihsits handling be
adopted. Whether it be the fault Of
the ginner, the compressor or the
transportation companies that it
goes into foreign fields in such bad
shope, the fault should be corrected
by all means.

Deafness Of Gunners.

In connection with the target prac-
lice of the Atlantic feet, in Cape Cod
Bay, naval officers have been .disuss-
ing the question of gun deafness
among the gunners who are to mO
the records. 1t is bel "rd by many
officers that the navy department has
not made adequate arrangements to
protect the gunners.
Cotton is provided for the gunners
ears before the heavy guns are fired,
but despite this fact the hearing OF
many has been partially destroyed by
explosions Of the naval guns.

spend two or three days at the A.
and NJ. college during the "round-
up" of the farmers institutes and
hear the several able men who had
been selected to lecture during the
exercises. 1t was on the whole, a
most successful meeting, and the man
who attended and got nothing out
of it worth while, is not deserving Of
condemnation but sympathy. After
the regular institute period, here are
brought together the ablest speakers
for general resume of the word done
[ and points covered. Almost every OBJ
| iect that could be of Importance to
the farmer was discussed. ably and
fully, the questions bringing out each
point as desired by those in attend
ance. 1t was an intensely interest
ing meeting, and it is safe to assume
that those present enjoyed it hugely
and went home greatly benefited.
The attendance was not so large as
it should have been. Fully five hun
dred people ought to have been there,
coming from the various counties Of
the state, gathering bits of knowledge
for their own use and their period
can be made just as profitable as well
as pleasant. The campus is one OF
the prettiest spots in the state, the
buildings are. ample to care for fully
five hundred people, the points of
interest in and around the college are
well worth time to see, and to take
it all in all, no man interested in
agriculture, horticulture, stock rails
ing, poultry or any of the branches
pertaining to the farm could fail to
gather many times in profit what the
trip would cost him in dollars and
cents. Let's begin right now to get
together next year fully five hundred
farmers, their wives, sisters and
daughters to spend three or four days
on the A. and M. campus. 1t will
be a commendable work and well
worth the effort.
The cost Of trip is very small
indeed. The railroads grant a low
rate to and from the meeting. The
college teams meet you at the depot
and carry you to the college free OF
charge. Visitors are furnished neat
and comfortable beds without charge.
and meals can be had at the Mess hall
for Is cents each. Everybody feels
that an outing Of some character is
needed at some time during the year.
Let this be made your vacation. The
time can be spent pleasantly as well
as proftably. Next year there will
be special program arranged for
!, the ladies and comfortable quarters
provided for them in the new dormi-
tory that will be completed by Jan
uary 1st. The good ladies would be
interested in seeing this splendid
state institution, so bring them along
with you next year.
Now let's organize ourselves into
| $500 club" for next year, every
person present this year taking 1t
| upon himself to see that one or two
neighbors come with him next time.
Tell your friends about it and show
to them the advantages to accrue
from attending this wind-up lnstl-
tute. 1t will be little trouble to get
the 500, or even more, it the work
| is began now and kept up during the
time intervening.
