WILnERFORCE UNIVERSITY.

All friends Of Negro education

look to and receive their salaries
from the state, while the others are
dependent upon the church. The
state departments are we'll supplied

ten finds itself in want. Between
the two sets of instructors there has
not always existed peace and harmo-
ny, nor has the lot of the president
been an enviable one. President
Jones never had the loyal support of
all his subordinates, many of whom
looked upon him as an interloper,
and his efforts to make the school
self-sustaining by it's farm products
and other reforms arrayed against
him an element which has had much

The new president, Prof. Scarbor-
ough, enters upon his duties with a
$4,000 debt, an enormous sum when
one considers the source from which
the money must be raised. In learn
ing, he stands among the best our
race affords, but his ability to raise
money, his executive powers are I'M
known. Although he should not be
held responsible for the retrench-
ments which are likely to be along
the line of reduction of salaries, as
advocated by Bishop Turner, his ad-
ministration will come in for the
blame. There will be but a few of

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.

- In the controversy which arose In
the republican state convention here
last week as to whether, or not the
committee, in creating two commit,
teemen at large, intended both places
for Negroes, a delegate OF color. from
Mcdowell county made the astound-
ing statement that; the Negroes did
not think bot hpositions were intend
ed for them; that. the committee
would have let it I've known If suoh
was their Intention; that the Negroes
did not expect them; and intimated
that they did not want them. - "
1t Is within the memory of men of
this generation when Mcdowell.
where the republican party is more
than half black and tan, sent delega-
tions to republican state conventions
composed OF an equal number OF
white and colored men. Gradually
this number has been reduced till
now there are but five Negroes. why?
Simply because Mcdowell Negroes.
like those Of some other counties,
have spokesman, either in, Office
or with their. lightning rods
erected, who fear to jeopardize
tehir chances by asking for simple
Justice. They are unfortunate in
having too many men, rated as lead
ers, who bend the pregnant hinges

in the report of the Stationing Committee
being twice sent back for revision the pull
pit assignments for the coming year, with
very few changes, were announced this after
noon. A general shake-up was advocated by
powerful members of the Conference, who
believed sweeping change in pastorates
would infuse new life in the work OF the
Church. but a STRONG majority Of pastors
satisfied with their old assignments refused
to countenance the plan. Announcements
was made the next years Conference will
be held in the First Church, Bridgeton. The
Conference received with regret further
announcements that Rev. a. Harker had
severed his connection with the Methodist
Protestant faith to become pastor Of the
