and how to combat the predju-
dice that exists in the opposing
opposition of the ignorant white
man that is the deadliest enemy
to progress in any race, the curse
of ignorance. 1t should not be
considered a curse in the negro
rae for they are SO, through force
of circumstances. We have now
10 this country far in excess OF
2 1000, 900 negroes, now the ques-
ton arises, what does the white
man intend to do for or with
them. There is only n solution
to the negro question, as much as
we try to dodge or evade it. That
is to educate him and give him
an opportunity to use it. Now it
is not my wish to censure the
white man for l believe that he
has done and is dong everything
III his power to rectify the evils
imposed upon him by ancestors.
When | say the white man mean
the intelligent, Christian white
nan and not the members of the
race, who have sunken lower even
than the negro in morals and
good citizenship. The negro
should have an industrial equality
as an incentive to his progress as
a race, and encourage the ignor-
ant members of same to use their
best efforts to prove themselves
worthy OF industrial equality.
God speed the time when the
negro shall enjoy to the fullest
extent the 18th and 14th amend
ments of the Constitution OF the
United States and that he may
at all times realize the position
that he holds and govern himself
accordingly.
We, the negros want light and
we also want a path for it to re-
fleet upon that we may not err
from the Faith of civilization to
the white man, no matter what
happens, always remember that
you are a member of the first race
of the world and also remember
you stoop from that lofty position
the moment you show disrespect
for a member of an important
race. All honor for the white man
who through sympathy for the
race opens the channels of educa-
%tional, commercial and industrial
equality; but cursed be the man
that deals a blow that shall sound
the knell of the negro future.
Faithfully yours,
HAYES COLE.

CONVENTION.
Held at Trinity was the Great
est in its History.

Inc 45rd Annual sunday School
Convention Of Montgomery Co.,
held at Trinity church. near Amer
icus, was ar occasion which will
Aug be remembered by those who
|.re in attendance, and Sunday
School workers and officers who
were not there missed something
that would have been an uplift
aud a source of enthusiasm to them
ia their work for many months to
come. Those present had their
spiritual strength renewed, and
came away with heart and mind
refreshed and stirred to better SER
vice.
We predict a very marked for
ward movement in the county the
g ming year as a result OF this
convention. The attendance was
the best we have ever seen from
he first session to the last, there
eng hardly a time when the
church was not filled almost to it's
capacity. None we're disappoint-
ed because they came, the singing
alone was worth the trip. The
song service was under the lead
ership of Prof. Joel c. Lininger,
of Chicagy, whose ability as such
is certainly a C Everybody
sang, many no doubt who had
no. raised their voices in song for
years did so at this convention,
through the earnest, urgent and
friendly invitation of this conse-
Grated and gifted leader. His
kind services to the County Assoc
citation will not soon be forgotten.
Another ranking with Prof. Lin
iuger in usefulness and blessing
to the convention, was DR.. Ii. Nj.
Thomas, of ST. Louis, whose clear
aud clean cut spiritual talks went
To the heart of the people, and will
rurely be AS good seed sown in
good ground-the iruitage OF
which will not be once a year, but
lily, and from Sabbath to Sab
bath all the year. He will live
long in the hearts of the people.
We will not be able to speak OF
every feature of the program OF
the convention, only to say hat ii
was pleasant and profitable from
beginning to end.
Many of the pastors of churches
in the county were present anc
gave valuable assistance at many
points which was highly apprecia'
ted by the county officers.
Many superintendents, teachers
and scholars were present as dele
gates from county schools. Abou
two thirds of the schools in the
county represented. No
moment was lacking, from frs
TO last, of good things for thu
workers. Things moved with th'
spirit and the understanding. Wed.
"sday afternoon pledges wer,
taken for next years wcrl
amounting to $4,000, the largee
ever known.
This short account of III con
vention would not be complct,
without making mention of tn
kind hospitality of the big hearted
people of Americas and vicinit,
who entertained the many dele
gates with the greatest ease tina
we have ever seen-all was don,
20 skillfully and quietly that yol
hardly knew that there we're any
strangers present. Bro. Ed Bush
Supt. of Trinity school, was il
the lead with this part of tn,

The company is centering It's work on the
Red Bull mine, upon which about 200 feet OF
development work has been done to date, in
cuts, trenches, shafts and an incline SHAFT
following the main ledge down about 70 feet.
This ledge shows gold Mornings Tor about 800
feet, and parallel lodges north on the same
ground, all horn gold. About 30 tons OF
market ore taken from the shaft are now
sacked ready for milling. The ore is an non
stained quartz and is free milling. One OF
the strongest recommendations of this COM
pany is that 1t is actively engaged in devel-
oping its property.
Mr.. r. B. Sproul, field superintendent OF
the Nevada General Consolidated Mines COM
pany, has gone to the new Masabie mining
district % miles southeast Of Las Vegas,
New, and about 40 miles north Of Search
light, where he has located and opened some
excellent claims for the company. The min
eral belt is some - miles long, the lodges
are good and strong and are capped with an
iron gossan, which is an excellent indication,
besides carrying strong copper values. Ore
samples have been ordered and assay results
will be given as soon as possible. This Is the

EXCITING RACE OF TRAINS.

Each IL Broken in Two but Neither
Engineer Knows 1t.
The following story was told by ].
d. Mcnamara, assistant general pas
senger agent Of the Wabash railroad:
Prom Clark to Mexico, NO., our line
runs almost parallel with that of the
Alton. The distance is about twenty
miles. 1t is open country and the
grades are light The going Is good
and trains race with each other az
OFTEN as occasion offers.
"One day two long freight trains,
one on each road, reached Clark about
together. race, of course, was In Or
DER. Passing Centralia the Wabash en-
glneer turned partly around In his cab
ana noting that the Alton man was
minus a portion of his train gave a
broke In two whistle signal for the
information Of his rival. The Alton
man, hearing the signal, himself turned
IN his seat and observing that the
Waoash train was considerably shorter
than when the race began he pulled the
throttle open notch or two more and
smiled as he looked forward to winning
the contest. As the speed of the Wa
bash train continued to increase the
Alton man In a spirit of banter gave
with his whistle the broke in two sig
nal. Az there was no apparent effort
made to stop. the signal was repeated.
Again and again was the SIGNAL
given by one or the other of the racing
englnemen.
AT length Mexico was reached, both
trains arriving there at the same time.
each engineer laughing at the Joke he
would have on his competitor when the
break would be discovered Az soon
as no stopped at the Mexico water tank
the Alton man called across the right of
way:
Flow far you goin' without your
tall lightsr
THE Wabash man, observing for tho
first time his own predicansnt. said;
