There wasn't much doing at the
city council meeting last Monday
night, and owing to the fact of its
being PAYDAY nightit was nearly 3
O'Clock before quorum was secur-
ed. Mayor Barr presided and all of
the alderman. with the exception of
Daimler. were among those present.
For the first time in many moons
there were no communications and
no petitions. and the first business
to come up for consideration was
the reading Of the bids submitted
for furnishing the city Of La Junta
with coal during the ensuing year.
There were two of them. one from
the La Junta Trading Company and
one from Ed V. Daimler. The La
Junta Trading Company submitted
a bid offering to furnish mine run
coal. equal in quality to that now
being used. for Ss.23 per ton. The
particular brand of coal was not
enumerated. but there were some
qualifying contingencies as to the
ability of the bidder to keep the
supply up. such as strikes. floods.
washouts. act of God. etc. which
did not seem TO appeal to the coun-
ell. The bid of Ed V. Danihes
ma lie price of $50 for Starkviile
mine run. $40 for Morley mine
run, and 50 y for Hastings mine
run. the latter being the quality
now in use. No contingencies were
specified in this bid as to the ability
of the bidder to deliver the goods al
all times. in spite Of everything and
high water. The bid of Mr.. Dani-
her was accepted. with the proviso
that the kind of coai to be used
would be determined upon later.
George 5. Thompson and A. " |
Mummey. representing the Fourth |
of July committee. appeared before
the city council with the request !
that all license fees derived by the !
city on the Fourth of July from |
street concessions. merry-go-rounds |
and the like be donated to the cele-
bration committee. II was so
ordered. A further request that
the city repair the band stand in the
court house park. and prohibit the
selling or using Of confetti on the
Fourth Of July was also granted.
City Engineer Lewis submitted /
two plans for the culvert to be
erected in conjunction with the sub
way east Of town. The estimate on
one of the plans is $500 and on tine
other about sl6O0. The city en-
gineer was instructed to submit
b.,th plans to contractors and secure
bids on cost Of construction.

there cannot be found to-day an
artist or sculptor, who can with
his pen, brush, or chisel reproduce
respectfully featured American Negro
without having the exact photograph
of a particular individual from which
to work Notwithstanding he or she,
the student, is associated with these
beautiful, respectable, highly intelli-
gent persons every day. We never
sees the picture of respectable Amer
lean Negro in the average magazine
or newspaper We can often find the
photograph of a criminal, the orang-
outang, baboon, funny picture sketch
es drawn by a newspaper cartoonist
and occasionally an humble, old-time
Aunt Dinah or Uncle Sambo 1t is
enough to make one tired to read af-
ter the lot of half-educated, half-wit-
ted, uniformed, newspaper reporters
who are constantly attempting to
write Negro dialect when quoting the
words of a respectable Negro. When,
in fact, there is not today one Negro
out of every twenty-five who speaks
any VI Jllo UlOhGu, Clldl dCIloIlC,
aginable Negro dialect. The average
Negro today speaks as good English
as the average would-be newspaper
dialect-writer reporter can if he
would write or speak his best Mr.
Baird in the closing Of his article be-
trays his animus when he refers to
respectable Negro mothers and then
chimes in with
"G'way FUN here wild yer old Dutch
niger doll My chilluns' jest as good
as anybody's and they are goin' to
have just as purity dolls and play
things as anybody's."
Mr.. Baird is a gentleman possibly Of
seventy summers and I presume from
conversing with him that he has lived
quite while in the South If so he
knows or ought to know if he ever

Nashville in time, and the customer
so desire it, his o her money will be
refunded | make this statement as
President of the company with au-
thority might further state for Mr..
Baird's information that this Negro
Doll idea has not only been en-
dorsed by the Negro Baptists of
this country, who outnumber all
other religious denominations of Ne
groes put together, but the idea has
been endorsed by the Negro Women's
Federation of Clubs of this country.
If the company was prepared to do so
it could have agencies and deposito-
ries in every state in the Union where
there are Negroes. The leading and
intelligent Negroes have found that
this production can be made in a
manner to portray the characteristic
features of the refined gentlewom-
en- of the race. 1t will son be a
matter of historical recollection to
see a little Negro girl born of re-
spectacle family Juggling a flaxen'
haired, blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked, white
doll and calling it mammals baby,
No sir, the Negroes of this country
have decided that their own women
are Industrious, well-deyeloped, pref
ty, lovable, pure and good. They
honor them as highly as any other
men on earth do theirs, and they
intend that their wives and daugh-
tiers shall teach this to the rising
generation.

ligent enough to be called respectable
mothers use no such dialect. How
ever, if there is to be found a class of
mothers ignorant enough to use such
language l suppose that would be
about what they would say. But for
Mr.. Baird's information, permit me
to state as President of the Negro
Doll Company that such dolls as we
have placed upon the market are
sought for by all intelligent Negro
mothers who have seen and major
ity of those who have read of this
beautiful toy. If Mr.. Baird will call
at the office, SIG Second avenue,
North, we will show him more than
two thousand intelligent, legible, we'll
written, well-spelled, properly pune
tUated letters inquiring for prices,
pictures, and other information con-
corning these Negro dolls. If he will
but take the pains to inquire of the
L. & n, the N. c. & st. L., the T. G.
Freight agents, the Adams, Southern,
and American express companies, he
will find possibly to his surprise that
the Negro Doll Company is supplying
orders, shipping these dolls to every
cardinal point of the compass from
San Francisco, Cal, to Springfield,
Mass, from Detroit, Mich, to Key
West, Fla, and that the Negro Doll
Company is at this time unable to
supply the demands, and that the
holidays will possibly close with hun
dreds if not thousands of these or
ders untitled. The Negro Doll Com
pany has money on deposit at the
One Cent Savings Bank of this city
held for the purpose of refunding ev-
cry order that cannot be filed. He
spoke of importing these dolls. Yes,
the Negro Doll Company since last
October has imported three cargoes
of Negro dolls and has the fourth on
the way. If it reaches Nashville be-
fore the close of the holidays it will
be in sufficient quantities to supply

we told Mr.. Baird so at the time. We

humble purpose of the inexperienced
secretary and manager of this institu-
ton in leaving his home in Texas
and coming to Tennessee nearly
thirteen years ago without money,

There are just two particular para

First, where he says: "Tbe Negro
is invariably represented as a prison
er of war or slave" Yes, this is
true in pictures, in character sketch
es, in sculpture, and everything that
the white man handles throughout all
of his literature. 1t seems to be his
purpose to teach the inferiority of the
black and the superiority of the white
throughout this country. He has
even strained his grammatical con-
struction of translated sentences
of the Bible. He makes Solomon

and mechanical constructions until
