part in checking the onslaught of the
dreaded white Plague" among the
Negroes of this country, the eyes of
the public are focused on their every
move and heed is given to every utter
ance made by them in these national
meetings. That they are cognizant of
this fact is best shown by the many
hospitals and infirmaries being erected
by the Negro doctors throughout the
country. Meharry Medical College in
this city, and others of it's kind in
other cities are sending forth every
year hundreds of young men and
women who are doing a great work
for humanity. Another asset of the
association that is considered a wise
move is the medical jcurnal started
since the last meeting, and the selec.
ton of DR.. c. " Roman, of this city,
as editor, shows that the members
of the profession sent as delegates
to the national meeting possessed the
courage to lay aside personal ambi.
lions and select men to fill positions
strictly on merit,
The last two sessions of the meet
ing have been held in the East and
it is thought that the next will be
held in some of the leading Southern
cities. No better place could be Sc
lected than Nashville, and if the opin
ion to come South takes on tangible
form the delegates from the state will
look after Tennessee's interest.

FINE RECORD.

A splendid record has been made
by Mr. w. ]. Latham, attoney-at-law,
who finished his course at Walden
University with the class of '02. He
is, no doubt, the leading Negro law
yer in Middle Mississippi and easily
the leading one in Jackson, and yet
there are eight in that city. Mr.. La
than has library excelled only by
that of Judge Mollison, of Vicksburg.
Aside from that, Judge Latham, for
he has justly won this title from his
able pleadings, is looked upon by all
as the best prepared. His Office is
fitted up in splendid shape and he Is
the attorney for two of the leading
grand lodges and some of the big
business firms of Jackson. Nash
vile people, no doubt, will recall his
school days in this city.

this was the first state in the Union
to give special attention to Negro
farmers, and it marks the beginning

color. The corn raised by the black
man is just the same as the corn
raised by the white man from the

black man is as white as that raised
by white man so these things know
no difference in man, but will respond

Col John Thompson, Commissioner
of Agriculture, was introduced. He
said "The Farmers Institute is for the

"At the rate we are going we will

He cited a case in Scotland where

That condition does not concern US

SPORTING NEWS

The Barons threw great scare into the camp of the Brooklyn superbas yesterday afternoon, but the satisfaction which this scare inspired was the sole benefit that accrued to them.
 The National leaguers finally won the game, though through the seventh the Barons had them going in several differ ent directions. The final score was s to 4.
 Fleharty opened for the Barons. and the lad had everything. He cleverly outpltched his well-proportioned opponent, Bell.
 But when 1t began to appear as if the Barons would inflict the only defeat which the Superbas have sustained this season, Lumley hastily sent Nap Fucker, his strongest twirler, to the slab In the be- ginning the Barons had as little respect for Fucker as they had shown for Bell. But after this first inning Fucker, losing his temper, held the locals at bay, feed ing them out of his fingers.
 Molly pitched the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth innings. To the spectator, Molly seemed to possess verything-great speed fine control and wonderful curve But in the eighth the Superbas latched on his benders and give him a punishment In this inning, too, the Barons went into the air, making four ghastly errors and a great deal Of noise.
 From a local viewpoint, however, the game was not so bad. The Barons hit the ball exceedingly hard, and in several of the departments outplayed the National leaguers.
 Brooklyn got ten hits to the Barons' nine. The Barons pilfered one sack and the visitors got none. There was an equal division of the sacrifice hits. The Barons scored the only double play of -.-- game.
 The local pitchers had better control than~the visitors, too. Fleharty, though he did swat >one individual with the spheroid gave no passes to first. Bell gave four. Molly and Fucker granted one each.

St. Louis, April 1.-That Johnny Kling is sincere in his threat to retire from baseball is the information brought from Kansas City by Dick Reach, a local railroad man, who is a personal friend of the Cubs great catcher.
 "Kling will not be with the Cubs this season." said Reach. 'He has had that in mind since last year. There is no disagreement between Johnny and the Cub management. He is not out for more money, but would have been satisfied with the contract rendered him had he decided to play. But his business in- terests in Kansas City are causing him to quit the worlds champions.
 ''He has two billiard halls. One cost something like $5o,oOo and is one of the finest in the country. He has an- other that pays well. Johnny told me just before I came down Tuesday that there wasn't a chance for him to rejoin the Cubs.

 There is no reason, therefore, for all others to despair. It's darn sight easier winning pennants on typewriters than in the field.
 There are other reasons for not despair ing, too. That year in which we least dreamed of winning the pennant, saw the guady banner unfurled in Birming- ham, That year when our dreams were most roseate-190S, if anyone asks you saw the Barons humbly occupying the lowest rung of the ladder.
