PLANT BEDS.

Before the day of the modern green
house gardeners used to have what they
called plant BEDS" and they have
them now in remote communities
where the old-time methods are still
in practice. We often read of the de-
struction of plant beds by night riders
in the tobacco districts of Kentucky
and Tennessee. We are not well in
formed as to how the beds are made
on a large tobacco plantation, but the
name suggests that the old-time way
is adhered to. The original plant bed
was made by piling rubbish and tree
limbs on a fertile spot Of ground and
burning them to ashes. The soil was
then dug up and thoroughly mixed
with the ashes, The seed were planted
and the bed covered with brush to pro-
tect the plants. The mixing of soil
and burnt ashes insured an abundance
of plants in due season. When the
time for drafting came the gardener
would go to his bed and draw out
the largest plants and transplant them.
He would then set in to cultivate the
young plants to encourage them to
grow to maturity in a healthy con
dition. He would leave it to nature
to produce the crop, but as custodian
he knew that he must do his part
first. So from time to time the proc
ess of preparing the plant bed, sowing
the seed and transplanting the young
and tender plants was carried on, and
consequently he kept a constant sup
ply of plants to set out that they
might be cultivated and bring forth
frat or vegetables.
The Negro press Of the United
States would do we'll to learn a
lesson from the old-time gardener.
Instead of spending all the time dis
cussing any one man Of the rae,
form a plant bed" of information
and keep it full of seed. that W. may
have plants to set in the arena Of
action to grapple with the affairs of
the times. But we fail to do that.
Too often we get a single character be-
fore the public and we lose sight of
the thousands of young, ambitious
men who are clamoring for an oppor-
tunity to serve the people. We allow
our supply of national characters to
run down too low.

April 9Oth, and the afternoon of May
LIST. The two renditions of the occa
sion, Mendelssohn's 95th Psalm, and
Gade's Crusaders were both very in
~teresting. The 95th Psalm though
short, is one of Mendelssohn's choic-
est compositions; while Gade's Cru
saders represent a band of noble
men marching to Jerusalem to rescue
the Holy City from the hand of the
Moslem foe.
The Society had a chorus of sixty
well trained voices, and four vocalists
this season. Misses Lula M. Will
liams and Rebecca DeGraphenried
were the soprano vocalists. Mr.. Ro-
land Wilson Hayes, tenor, and Mr..
Noah Walker Ryder, bass.

APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR.

On Tuesday, April 81, the general
educational bill became a law we the
signature of Hon. Malcolm R. Patter-
son, Governor of the State of Tennes-
see.
Every Negro in our Commonwealth
will receive this information with joy
full heart. True we are nearly forty
years behind some states in industrial
and normal training Of our youth, but
there are advantages sometimes in be-
ing behind. State administrations
have blundered in handling their in
stitutions in one way or another.
Some have been unfortunate in Sc
Letting sites, and some have secured
incompetent presidents or principals,
while many have had glorious sue
cess from the beginning. But how
ever the case has been with others
the administration of Tennessee is in
position to profit by what they have
done. We can avoid their mistakes
and improve upon their successes.
The thought that should be upper
most in the mind of every Negro at this
time is the location of the Normal
Agricultural and Mechanical College
in that portion of the state where il
will be most convenient to all the PEG
pie of the state. We should put aside
every personal desire or ambition and
be guided by the one purpose-the edu
cational needs of the youth of oul
state.
Men who have land to sell viii
naturally offer it to the state for schoo
purposes, and no doubt, many of then
will make fiattering offers. Ever!
county in Tennessee would be glad Il
have this school, but no Negro mai
should allow himself to forget for
moment that he owes something tt
his race and his state, and that it i
his duty to turn a deaf a to an,
offer or suggestion that does not, il
his judgment, seem to be for the hes
interest of the people.
