CLEAN HANDS

He who would enter a court of equi-
ty should first of all have his own
hands clean of wrong doing. Likewise,
he who would inveigh against mob
methods should himself be innocent
of the use of such tactics. Especially
should this be conned by the bolt
ing" faction of the republican party
in this state. In their attempt to gain
sympathy and to hide the chagrin
caused by losing what they thought
was a ected-state-cenven-
ton, the "bolters," with holy hor-
ror, refer to the recent convention as
a mob.
But the "bolters," the chairman of
whose convention it seems has devel-
oped into a lilly white" can expect
to gain very little by their denuncia-
tion of the Oliver Convention as a
mob. In the first place the tactics re-
sorted to by the "bolters" to secure
delegates in the counties of Middle and
West Tennessee where federal Office
holders were in the control of the par
ty machinery; the irregular snap con-
ventions held before the state COM
mittee had issued the call for such
conventions; the sanctioning of the
regularity of these conventions by a
committee that seemed to be interest
ed only in retaining control of the or
ganization; show that the actions of
the boilers are even more reprehensi-
bic than that of the Oliver faction.
There has not been fair express
sion of the republican voters of this
state in the selection of delegates, but
the opportunity for such and to sub
nit the claims of each faction to the
people has been offered by Mr.. Oliver
If the ''lily-whites" are so sure thai
they represent the wishes of a major
ity of the voters, why not embrace the
offer of a direct primary for settling
all the questions under dispute? Ar
these gentlemen afraid that such ;
primary would show that they do no
represent the will of the voters? Ar,
they afraid that the masses of the par
ty will give them a worse drubbinl
than did Mr. Oliver? Fairness de

OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The school was opened promptly
at $3.50 o'clock by the Assistant SUI
perintendent, Rev. T. ]. Lewis. The
weather was very inclement, yet a
large number Of pupils, teachers and
officers was present After song serv-
ice the classes studied the lesson for
thirty minutes, the subject being "Je-
sus the Good Shepherd" The les
son was ably reviewed by Rev. c. H..
Clark, after which it was announced
that the school would have their quar-
terly rally Sunday, April IL. Ben
ediction was pronounced by the pas
tor.
Tuesday night the regular meeting
of teachers and officers was held in
the teachers room The lesson, 1.-THE
Raising of Lazarus" for Sunday, April
-, was studied under the leadership
of Mr.. Henry A. Boyd. A most in
teresting meeting was held. After
several recommendations for the well
fare of the school and the appoint

discovering those magnificent quail
ties of leadership, which he had shown
in West Virginia, made him their SUI
preme Chancellor. During the eight
or more years that Mr.. Starks was at
the head of that organization, all of
his resources as a leader were brought
into play to stife the contentious and
break up the factions which had rent
the Order, and he saw his efforts
crowned with success when last year
the two factions of Pythians were
united in Maryland. Being practical
business man, Mr.. Starks endeavored
to inculcate business methods in the
direction of the Knights of Pythias.
1t was his desire to unite the vast
army of men belonging to that frater.
nal body in one band for the build
ing up of the race enterprises. His
fight for a Pythian Temple at Chica-
go he won, and he lived barely long
enough to see the companion project
to the Temple-a Pythian Sanatarium
at Hot Springs-an accomplished fact
Though possessing possibly less
than one-eighth Of Negro blood, Mr.
Starks was as thoroughly identified
with the welfare of the race as any
man and could always be found work
ing for it's uplift. In the church, he
was a consistent worker. The race
has lost a strong man and with the
Knights of Pythias it joins in mourn
ing his demise.

of the Freedman's Bank and Trust
Company fund, which amounts to up
ward of $1,OOO,O0O, will be welcome

that Inflated enterprise. This huge
sum of money which properly belongs
TO the depositors and the descendants
of depositors, has been tied up in the
United States Treasury for a number
of years and heretofore all efforts to
have it distributed among those who
could show proofs that they were de-

Silvers and Wallace, the two mem

of the charges preferred against
them by Hugh Smith, the produce

commission that the men had not
been guilty of wrong doing. Several

the members of the Company, and
stated that during the summer vaca-

Sunday, April ~, is the forty-sev.
enth anniversary of the firing upon
Fort Sumpter. The anniversary of
the beginning of a struggle the final
outcome of which was to see a people,
long held in bondage, made free; a
war in which oceans of blood were
poured out that America might not
exist half slave and half-free. Forty
seven years ago that first shot was
fired by those who sought to keep
our parents in bondage, but now any
one looking over this broad southland
and seeing it poisoning from the la
bOrs of the free Negro, and seeing the
wonderful advancement of that freed
race must be pessimistic, indeed, not
to see the great good that has come
from the result of that shot.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, 1t Is
easy to tell II the paint used was made
Of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants Is a test that will
tell the quality Of the paint before 1t
and the labor Of putting 1t on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way In which
genuine White Lead may be positive
~ distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as Is produced by blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, 1t is
not genuine White Lead, or II It con-
tains the slightest trace Of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe' test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test Of paint before using
1t, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the 'blow-
pipe or any other test. To make 1t
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nee.
essary for you to make the test, to-

CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly q resident Of Green
Mountain. Iowa, says; 1.-THE climate
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days Of sunshine, no bad
storms. We never need to guard
against cyclones; ! never saw better
climate In my life. We made more
money during the season Of 1905 than
any previous five years in central
Iowa--one Of the best districts In the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was resi-
dent of the town, and 1t might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada, From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words Of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. 1t is as follows:

Of that, Brother Yankee? | think this

here visiting his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns land close to Des

stances, but he took homestead and
