own. Every one of the $4,000 or 49,
900 colored inhabitants of this city
should have hand in helping to
build up this Fair.
Let the fact not be overlooked as to
the reason why the local daily pa
pers made favorable mention of the
Fair at Greenwood in their news col
umns and editorially. They meant to
impress upon those of our people who
were inclined and contemplated in
flicting the white Fair at Cumberland
Park with their unwelcome and "un-
desirable" presence to go to their
own. They did this IN a diplomatic
way by commenting the Fair at
Greenwood. When Shakespeare said
What fools we mortals be-" he was
speaking of those who doggedly per-
sist in doing that which is contrary
to their better judgment. He is in
deed to be pitied, rather than
"cussed,' who will stumble and stag
ger over the dictates OF his own in
telligence and reason to the disgust
of others and the humiliation and
discredit of himself The sooner we
make whatever we desire to have, to
see and to know, the better for us and
posterity.
The white fair is the result of con-
cert of effort and action on the part of
the white race, and they labored to
accomplish their aim of building up
a great fair with no thought of the
hor IN, tbOtr t,I
their program. 1t is racia'ly incum-
bent upon every one of us to do like
wise in fostering similar enterprise
of our own. The white peoples was
small affair at first, but they toiled
but the harder to make it what they
desired it to be-. We can make ours

if each will do something to that end
If each will give his patronage he

look at any "pretties," we must make
them, and the fact, too, remains that
the learning must be done. If there are

have wasted many a dollar building

THE STATE FAIR.

On last Saturday night the second
Fair of the Tennessee Colored Fair
Association came to a close. The
exhibition was a slight improvement
over that of last year, but could not
be considered fair representation
of the wealth of the Negroes of the
State of Tennessee. There were more
horses here from nearby towns, and
they were good ones too, but horses
alone do not constitute the productive
ness of this state, nor is it fact that
the Negroes are concentrating their
efforts on raising horses. There are
Negro men in all parts of the state
engaged in every line of business,
and until they are made to feel that
the State Fair is theirs; that
the reputation of the Negroes of Ten
nessee is at stake, and that every
one is responsible to the extent of
his ability to sustain that reputation,
we can not hope to have a State
Fair that will be a creditable one.
Visitors were here from all the sur
rounding states, and as far West as
Oklahoma, and it was painful indeed
to have some of them tell us to our
face that they have county fairs in
their states that are bigger and better
than our State Fair.
We do not desire to be looked upon as
knocking" the State Fair, for we are
fully in harmony with the enterprise.
We had hoped that the Fair would
be a great success, and we believe
yet that the sons of the grand old
Volunteer State will rise equal to the
occasion, and that we will have a
State Fair that will fully represent
the wealth and progressiveness of the
colored citizens of this state. 1t is
for this reason that we make this ex-
preston SO early after the close of
the Fair. We have mistaken faith
in the ability of our men and women
We believe them to be the equal OF
those of any state of our Union. We
know what they have done in the
past and have no cause to believe thai
they are not as loyal now as they
have ever been Again we would
have the world know that the Negroes
of Tennessee have not been idle They
have made wonderful progress, anC
are steadily establishing themselve
permanently both on the farm and il
e the cities. And we do not want tn
impression to go abroad that our Stat
Fair represented what we hav
y accomplished in forty-odd years.

Two cases have happened recently
in this city where white men have
attempted to force Negroes to violate
the law on the street cars. The law
stipulates how passengers of the two

fellows are sustaining their reputation
of being wheresoever the black man
is. He cannot obey his own laws.

their votes. Every vote counts in these

The formation of the National Ne
