INTELLIGENT NEGRO'S PLEA.
aArouses big Gathering to enthusi-
asm by Urging Harmony and
I. Closer sympathy W tth he Whifes.

Sharon colored Baptist church, near
irvington, on Sunday last held Chill
dren's Day exercise at which there was
a large gathering. Several gentlemen
prominent in the county dropped
in, and upon request addressed the
throng, l
A novel and encouraging feature was
an impromptu address, previous to the
talk by the whites, from Morgan Ed
wards, colored, for years a school
teacher of the county. He adjured his
race to live in closer harmony with the
whites. He declared that the Southern
white man was the truest friend of his
race; that slavery was blessing in
disguise to them. He urged his people
to abandon all prejudice, politically and
otherwise, and to cooperate with, con-
fide in and love the better class of whites,
and said that it was the meaner class
of both races that bred trouble between
them. He frankly admitted that the
Intelligent negro did not aspire to
social equality, but readily recognized
that the better whites were their
superiors socially and otherwise and
probably always would be; and that
while the advanced men of his age
were admitting this they were en-
deavoring to live as closely in the way
of the better whites as possible.
His exhortation was taken with much
favor by the large assemblage, a num-
Der of prominent negroes afterwards
heartily endorsing Edwards words.
We have often written and talked of
the excellent character of the Afro
Americans in Lancaster county, and
have told State politicians that if the
negroes of the State had been as good
as their race in this county there would
have been no call for. suffrage clause.
One can count on the fingers of one
hand the vicious or Objectionable ne
groes of any prominence in this section.

POLITICAL.

The Democratic National Convention
will open in Denver Tuesday, July T.
1t will cost s25. 600 to $50, 600 to notify
Taft that he has been nominated for
the presidency.
Being candidate, Mr.. Taft has
added going to church to his many other
accomplishments.
Governor Patterson won the guber-
material nomination in Tennessee over
ex-senator w. Carmack, the most
brilliant debater in the upper House
of Congress.
On. hearing of Judge Taft's nomin-
alton, Captain James Byrons, of Laurel,
Del. then in perfect health, exclaimed,
$50 glad; can now die happy" He
did so day later by falling from his
boat.
After prolonged session the North
Carolina State Convention selected
William w. Kitchen, who has been in
Congress from that state for ~ years,
for Governor. So ballots were taken be.
fore the end.
The best evidence that, Judge Mann
leads in the gubernatorial fight lies ir
the fact that he is more the subject oil
discussion and attack than any other
candidate in the race. So far, We have
not heard that the services of the am
bulance corps were needed as the re-
suit of these attacks. -Index-Appeal.

If THE poll tax decision is to
stand as the Supreme court now
evolves it, it will be another
stone in the fool-monument fast
growing to the late Consti-
tutional Convention. The six
months prepayment was rabid
enough, but if it is to be inter
preted that each man must stand
and deliver in person his capita
ton tax it isreductio ad absurd

that not twenty per cent of the

LOYALTY NEEDED.

If the Times-Dispatch was as good a
Democrat as it is a news gatherer it
wonld be one of Virginia. most valu-
able assets. We don't know what we
would do without the Sunday issue of
The Times-Dispatch. 1t is peerless in
the realm of news. -Farmville Herald.
We thank the Herald for it's kindly
reference, but we think it has gotten
the cart before the horse 1t is on its
Democracy rather than on its news
service that The Times-Dispateh prides
s itself. -Times-Dispatch. -,-.-
That's ''fine''. Our leading news
gatherer is to be our best Democrat,
No more running after Buckner-Palm-
er vagaries. No more redness of the
face because Bryan is leader and by
reclamation. True our worthy brother
goes on to say things about Essential
principles, :" "demagogic claptrap" and
such like, but the I'D. ''prides" itself
on its Democracy, and we know it
means just what it says. We were ON
the verge of suggesting that there was
room In Richmond for a morning Dem
ocratic paper, and now we won't
Farmville Herald.
Ii you won't say it, it is, new
ertheless, what the host of De
mocracy in Virginia has long
been loudly thinking-that we
need a Democratic paper in Rich
mond. Our capital city dailies
are good in their class, but sail
ingunder Democratic colors and
berating our Democratic leaders,
State or national, rather gags
the rank and file of the party. If
they would announce themselves
as Republican,, or even Indepen-
dent,we would have more respect
for their illusions. 1t may be
hide-bound and narrow, but we
believe i'll doing our scrappine
within party lines, and then
marchingup and taking our med
icine like men, if defeated. This
business of arguing on ''Jeffer-
sonian principles" and such like,
attempting to show that we and
We alone are opponents of the
only true Democratic policies, is
merest clap-trap. If every man
were to follow his own way of
thinking there would be no or
ganization, no law or order even.
in the land. Parties, churches
and societies would be chaotic.
10y atty to party or church is
the true motto; and if one does
not like the policies or tenets of
his set, let him get out.
The Fauquier Democrat tersely
rounds up the matter thus:
One way ''to be Democrat" is to
vote for Democratic nominees, support
Democratic policies, and uphold the
hands of faithful public servants whom
Democracy has placed in power.
Another way to be Democrat is to
assail the party and its representatives,
belle its principles, give aid and comfort
n to the enemy, and desert when the line
of battle is drawn, unless your faction
IS leading the charge on the feshpot.
and the pie counter. Those are the
two ways; choose We!

ERRORS ABOUT FISHING.

Ii the Baltimore Sun will not
take umbrage We would like to
put it straight on some CONNER
clal fisheries points. In an edito-
rial OF Monday last our contem-
porary commends Governor
Crothers for taking hold of the
"purse-netting evil at the in
stance OF a game association.
Extracts from the Suns edito-
rial read:
only five such licenses have
been paid for at Annapolis, and the
Governor has determined that the net.
tiers who have failed to pay must be
forced to pay. If those who claim to
know are correct in their estimate OF
some 400 purse nets being in use il
Chesapeake waters" etc.
1.-The purse nets, while laid out os
tensibly to catch menhaden. sink to tn,
bottom and take in everything that i.
not small enough to go through the
nets meshes. 1t is absurd to suppose
that rock6sh. perch and other foot
fishes are put back into the water
In the firstplace, we believe five
nets, certainly five steamers, will
fully cover Maryland's purse net
industry. The estimate of 400
from its informant is really alb
surd information. Thatnumber
will pretty nearly, if not fully
cover the business of the entire
Atlantic coast. Virginia's fleet
consists OF only about 81, and
ours isabout eight or ten times
as great as Marylands,s Eyi-
dentlysome persons in Maryland
have gotten purse and pound
nets mixed in their heads. -.~---.-..
AS to thegood fish caught, Mary
lands Governor might profit by
an experience similar to that
OF - Governor O'Ferrail of
Virginia some years ago.
Kid glove Usher IA d
complained of the menhaden
steamers, that they rounded up
food fish with the fertilizer fish.
Governor OFerrall got on a
steamer of the oyster navy and
overhauled some twenty purse
net steamers. plying their work,
and among the hundreds OF
thousands of mendaden could
not find enough edible fish to
supply one boats table a meal.
Only an occasional blue-fish,
mackerel, weak-fish or like vora-
ciOus kind is found i'm the
punches" of menhaden. These
strike in for meal and 60 right
out again. Doves donot flock with
black birds, nor do brown ants
travel with black ants; and this
habit is true offishes. Butwe have
heretofore fully covered this sub
ject, into which our twenty years
OF experience in fish and oyster
