Your correspondent ventures the
suggestion that during the session of
the Naeional Negro Business League
at. Louisville in August the newspa-
per men In attendance get together
and hold confab Of their own, look
ing to the organization of a National
Negro Press Association, as an aux
lliary to the Business league. The
bankers and undertakers have such
an organization, and the good effect
OF bringing these caiiings together
mas already been seen. Owing to the
expense, a separate convention this
year Is practically out Of the Dues
ton. AS nothing Of political ma
ture should be brought before the
press convention at this time, when
the business aspect of the craft is
the primary thing to be considered,
the holding of q meeting In con-
junction with the Business League,
seems to us to be In perfect keeping
with the intent and purpose of the
parent body. The nucleus Of O. mill
tant press fraternity can thus be
formed, and out of 1t may come a
stimulus for the ,edf-
tors publishers and correspondents
who each year follow the fortunes of
the Business League and endeavor to
carry home the inspiration gathered
from its cosmopolitan membership.
We should like to have the views Of
such able and far-secing editors as
w. H. Steward, w. D. Johnson, r. r.
Berry, E. e. Underwood, Phil Brown,
Cary b. Lewis and Albert s.. White,

| Bishop hampton Indicated that he
would return to his home in Green
Iville, and resume his duties, just as
II nothing had happened. The bish-
op is strong with the bankers, mer-
chants and state and county officials,
and they place too high a valuation
upon colored men Of the hampton
type to permit a slight mtsunder-
standing to ALLEVIATE him from the
land that has been his home for 10
| this many years. The episode will
not tend to injure in any way the
standing Of Bishop Hampton with
the first-class people Of Greenyille
Or Of the state of Mississippi. The
incident furnishes just another ex-
ample Of the venality Of the fellows
who send out sensational stuff for

or adding a few dirty dollars to their
