President ,raft has given his cordial
Endorsement To the proposed sernicen
teuniul exposition suggested for 1Ol3
to mark the progress the Negro mas
made IN the tifty years Of bis freedotn
and to Indicate the wonderful advance
the race has made since its landing IN
this country nearly 800 years ago. Inc
movement was called to the attention
OF the president not long ago ~ Dr.
Booker r. Washington.
In his frst annual message to con-
gress President Taft said OF the pro
posed demonstrative exposition:
1.-THE year 1913 will mark the hftieth
anniversary Of the issuance OF the
emancipation proclamation which gave
freedom to the Negroes In the United
States. It seems fitting that this event
should be properly celebrated. Already
a movement has been started BY prom
inent colored people and newspa-
pers not only In the south. but IN 9TH
er parts Of the country. The south
especially Ii manifesting its interest
In such celebration.
1T Is suggested that proper FORM
OF celebration would be an exposition
which would show the progress which
the millions Of Negroes have made not
only during their period Of freedom.
but which would also indicate their
progress from the time of their COM
ing to this country.
II heartily indorse the proposed ex-
position and suggest that the execu-
tive be- authorized to appoint pre-
liminary commission Of not more than
seven persons to consider carefully
whether or not 1t il wise to hold such
an exposition. and, II 20, to outline q
plan for the enterprise. I further rec

young women Of the race who do not
have the confidence In themselves to
create lucrative vacations that will en-
able them to contribute to the move
ments that tend toward the anchors
ton Of economic conditions that are
commercially dwarfing them. In her
section Of the country there are hum
dreds of Afro-American young women
who are especially qualified to bring
something real tangible to pass. but
they await the opportunity to become
pedagogues. else they are dependent
upon their parents.
Mrs. Buchanan graduated from the
millinery department Of Tuskegee and
with marked success made specially
of teaching millinery after graduating
from this noted institution. She has
had twelve years Of experience az

tablishment is an inspiration to any
one who admires the kind of pluck and
energy that result in helping others to
develop qualities that are not deterrent
to a progress that Is synonymous to
success. There are employed six In
telligent and ambitious young women
in this establishment. and through the
training they have received from Mrs.
Buchanan they are proving themselves
capable Of holding positions In any frst
class millinery store. One upon enter
Ing this beautiful store would not read
lily conceive the idea that such an es-
adjustment was strictly owned BY an
Afro-American woman and largely pat
ronized by women Of her race, but
would think it was for an exclusive
element Of the other race. She Is a
worthy example for young women to
emulate. GEORGE F.. KING.

MOST ATRoclous CRIME.

Death Cries Of Murdered Minister
Heard From Fiery Prison.
| No atrocity in modern times, says
the Richmond Va.) Planet, has ex-
ceeded the brutal Rendishness attend
ing the lynching Of Rev. John Har-
ward, near Cochran, Ga, in December.
To a person versed in the law, trained
In the church and permeated by the
civilizing influences now In evidence In
the leading communities Of the world
1t seems uncomfortable that people Of
this country could be found who would
perpetrate such an outrage.
Rev. John Harvard had committed
no crime. II the Geographic reports are
to be believed. He was dangerously
wounded by Will d. Booth, white,
who was In turn said to be fatally
injured. He had done nothing further
than to defend himself, and yet he was
caught and burned at stake, his
death cries being stilled by the heat
and smoke Of his fiery prison. This
|, brings to mind our oft expressed
warning. Colored men who wound
or injure white men In this section
OF the country should defend them
selves to the death and then save the
last bullet for themselves and take
their chances Of going shouting home
to glory" 5A5,
1t is far better to die like hero
than to be assassinated and burned
like felon. We will not comment
further upon this outrage. It is too
horrible. Hundreds Of white men are
condemning the murderers, but there
IS not one who has announced his
ability to bring to dire punishment the
fends who are guilty Of this latest
ebullition Of race prejudice. The south
as q whole will be sufferer. and we
shall have for years to come bitter
memories OF this most diabolical crime
ever perpetrated in the southland.

art, with the hearty cooperation Of
the membership. the society has nearly
doubled itself and there have been
several new features introduced which
have greatly advanced the organiza-
ton and have also been an Incentive to
other women Of Virginia birth or who
could comply with the rules Of mem
bership to join. Out of some sixty or
more new members Mrs. Stewart has
brought in or caused to be brought In
more than half the number. The crea-
tion Of a board of directors. the forma-
ton of a juvenile auxiliary and the
strengthening OF the financial system
are some Of the new features Of the
organization. Chief factors in the
growth Of the auxiliary have been the
peace and harmony of the members,
