REIGN OF TERROR

The State OF Georgia, the pail
sade of the South, has shown the
cloven foot. Loyal and patriotic
citizens in the State have been dis
franchised.
Because one OF two COlored men
attempted to defend themselves
against a white mob. an entire otwn
of peaceable coIored citizens has
been ordered to leave their homes.
Just where this will end The Bee
is unable to state.
Is there no hope for the colored
Americans??
This reign of terror is inflicted
upon citizens who have been and
are now loyal to the Republic. They
make no resistance against attacks.
They are quiet and humble to a
fault. Notwithstanding all of these
brutalities, the colored American
continues to succeed. They are told
to accumulate property, be good
citizens, and have a bank account,
if possible. and yet they are pur-
sued harrasSed butChered and
killed
The question now IS, What will
be the result OF this reign of ter
ror?

lessor Miller; you have spoken as
no other man has.

THE ODD FELLOWS.

Some cOlored men IN the North
imagine that colored men South
are fools. You will find more fools
among colored men North than in
any other section of the country.
A certain local paper published in
the interest of its editor, ike many
others, is Of the opinion that the
Northern Colored men IN the Odd
Fellows should control the insti-
tuition. When all the facts are
made known in the recent disrup-
ton in the Odd Fellows, those who
are interested in the order will be
amazed to know that a great deal
of grafting IS going on that cannot
be stopped without it being expos
ed.
The next B. NJ. c. will be one
OF the greatest meetings that has
ever been held by this body. The
building that is in course Of erec-
ton in Philadelphia is the most
monumental fraud that has ever
been perpetrated upon the order.
1t will be seen that the disruption
in Alabama will never be healed
until the next meeting of the B.
NJ. c.
The effort of a few Northern
grafters to depose the recognized
Grand Master, Mr.. Howe, of Al
ALBANIA, will never be accomplished,
as is evidenced by his large fol-
lowing in the State.
The colored men in the South
are doing we'll, and will do well if
they are let alone by those in the
North, whose only ability is graft.

DIGNITY OF LABOR.

The address OF Register w. T.
Vernon before the Tri-State Meet
ing held in Kansas this week is a
great defense of the dignity of la
Dor. Colored Americans should
join labor organizations. The In
ternational Labor Organization is
the greatest in the United States,
and one that IS benefit to its mem
bers, irrespective OF color or con-
dition Register Vernon knows the
effect and power OF labor organiza-
tions, and his recent speech. ex-
cerpts OF which appear in this issue,
should be read carefully.

NO CONSCIENCE.

uSt WY AAALAf ALtte-47 CA-- - soe@AA-
cations for the purpose OF graft,
The Bee IS at a loss TO explain.
Some people join organizations for
the purpose Of graft and nothing
more. Females are different.When
YOU find an honest woman at the
head OF an institution it is best to
keep her there. There is no or
galizarion in this country that
should be more commended than
the ST. Luke's. 1t has a woman
at its head who IS filling position
that would put any man in the
shade.
The organization has thriyed and
it continues TO thrive under the able
leadership OF this distinguished
woman, whose reputation for hon
es;y and integrity is above susp;-
cion.
This woman IS entitled to the
plaudits Of her members, because
she has given TO her people an in
stitution that will be a benefit to
her people.
Has It ever occurred to the peo-
pie what Mrs. Maggie Walker has
done for her people? Has it ever
occurred to the masses that, aside
from the great St. Luke organiza-
ton, Mrs. Walker has established a
bank that is a monument to the.
State OF Virginia? Then, again,
there has been an emporium estab-
lished with its own clerks and man
ayers.
1t is pleasure to The Bee to
chronicle the works of this great
woman.
Notwithstanding what Mrs. Wal
ker has done, persons may be seen
struggling for her shoes and for
what purpose? They imagine that
a little money Is in sight, and they
believe that they could get a hold
on it if they were given a favorable
opportunity.
The St. Luke's is an organization
more for women than for men.
Men are admitted on suffrance, so
to speak, and in view of that fact
they should behave themselves
when allowed to join. They should
not attempt to run it. They should
hold up the hands Of this great and
worthy head.
The coming convention of the
St. Luke's, to be held in Richmond
this month, will be the largest that
has ever been held in the history
of this organization. Within
few years it will be the greatest
organization in the United tSates.
The Bee wishes it long life and
continued prosperity.

ESTABLISHED 1870
WAR IN ALABAMA.

There IS an Odd Fellows war in
Alabama, just as The Bee predict
ed a few weeks ago.
The revolutionary action OF the
subcommittee OF management pre-
cipitated this war. In Selma, Ala
bama, Grand Master A. c. Howe
presided over FIVE hundred dele
gates from all over the State. At
Birmingham, Ala, the reports show
that the Johnson or Houston fac
ton was poorly attended. This
faction has been repudiated by the
best and most influential element in
the State.
The Birmingham (Ala.) Wide
Awake, and the Atlanta (Ga.) In
dependent report the arrest oiGrand
Master Houston, and was required
to give bond in the sum Of two
hundred dollars.
The cause Of the arrest was not
stated. 1t is 10 be regretted that
the fight among the Southern Odd
Fellows should have reached such
4 crisis. The Southern Odd Eel
lows have declared war against
Grand Master Houston and the
SUI committee OF managementThey
further declare that they will de-
mand an investigation OF the en-
tire order the next B. NJ. c.
Grand Master Houston, for whom
The Bee has the highest respect,
could have avoided this disruption.
If reports are true, he acted just
contrary to what he had promised
to act while in Philadelphia.
The Alabama contingent, repre-
sented by Grand Master Howe,
was willing that the entire matter
be submitted to the people of Ala
bama, with a presiding officer Sc
lected by the subcommittee OF man
agement, and allow the delegates to
select their own grand master. This
proposition was declined by Grand
Master Houston, who now realizes
that the split in Alabama cannot be
healed by him.
Grand Master Howe made ev-
cry concession to the sub-COmmit
tee of management. He was fair in
every proposition, Notwithstanding
the fact that the courts of Alabama
had sustained him on every point.
Brother Houston had bad ad-
visers. who sought his destruction.
a career that was attended with so
much brilliancy that should so soon
become bEghted is his fault. An
administration that was looked for
ward to be one OF the brightest, If
not the brightest, has fallen with
a black spot, and his pretended
friends, who are no more than vul-
lures, are now willing and ready to
devour him
With two suits in the Pennsyl-
vania courts against the sub-com-
mittee OF management, two in Ala
bama and more to follow, will GER
tainly bankrupt the order.
What can be hoped? What can
be gained? The entire matter could
have been settled in Philadelphia
by resubmitting the entire back to
the lodges.
The South is determined to be
at the next B. NJ. c. in full force
and teach the enemies of the order
that the South has rights which
must be respected.
There is no compromise, as will
be evidenced by the press in the

HOUSTON LOSES OUT.

Reports from Alabama show that
Grand Master Houston made a
haSty exit from Alabama. Grand
Master Howe wins and Houston
and his paroled candidates now lose

MILLER vs.. ROOSEVELT.

MILLER VS.. ROOSEVELT.
The article of Prof. Kelly Mil
Ter, excerpts Of from which appear
cd IN the daily press a few days
ago, was a masterpiece OF compost
ton. Professor Miller has said no
more than what The Bee said sev-
eral years ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been no sur
prise to The Bee. There are sew
eral conlmendable features about
Professor Mllets asticle. 1t is
logical, as well as manly. The Ian
guage OF the article is chaSte, log
ical, and concise. 1t is one of the
most manly articles that has ever
been penned by colored Ameri-
can.
The colored man has been be-
trayed to the South by the Admin
istration, from which he can never
hope for redemption.
Professor Miller has gotten off
the fence and has demonstrated to
the world that he is a man.
The Administration, as The Bee
has said, cannot hope to re-estab-
lish itself in the hearts of the col
orcd Americans.
They have declared, as the PIE
beians when they were oppressed
by the Patricians "Of what con-
sequence is II to us, whether our
chains are forged by our enemies
or by ourselves? Let the Patri-
Clans, since they alone are reward

Now, what was Mr. Houston's mission
while in the city of Birmingham OF Au-
gust :. 1907? Who invited him here,
and what did they invite him here to do?
Was he here for the sole purpose OF
retarding the progress of the Grand
Lodge session that was 10 be held in
Selma, Alabama, August @, 1907? OF
was he here to tell the members to stop
fighting and lawing each other, and get
together and pay the widows and OF
phans what is due them and stop giving
It to the wrong parties?
Now, Mr.. Houston should get right
himself. for coming events cast their
shadows before them. If Mr.. Houston
don't stop, look and listen, he will ruin
himself anG his entire fraternal family,
for there are over one hundred and fl
" thousand men and women in this

contribute fifty cents per month for the
