WHAT is THE o

From different sections of the coun-
try we get the information that Ne
groes are leaving the South for the
North, and that those leaving are the
reliable laboring people. One daily
paper says that this condition OF affairs
happens from time to time, but only
lasts for a short while, and that many
of those who go soon return to the
South. This may have been true in
man. instances in the past but who
knows that it will continue to be so.
1t is true the Negro loves the South,
because he understands the people
here, and this is his home; he loves
1t more than he can anywhere else in
the world, but if it becomes impracti-
cable for him to stay here he will go
elsewhere.
There are some things done to the
Negro in the South that make him
want to leave. In the state OF Florida,
for instance, the law makers are try
ing to take from him all Of his rights
as a citizen. They are attempting to
reduce him to q state akin to slavery.
They seem determined to set the Con-
stitution of the Union to naught, and
they believe, and the Negroes believe,
that the Supreme Court Of the nation
will decide that it Is a state affair, and
that the Federal Government has no
jurisdiction In the case. In Kentucky
the Negroes are ordered to leave their
work simply because they are Ne
groes; again in the same state they
are forbidden to purchase ground and
erect a school to educate their chill
dren. who have been denied by law the
right to enjoy the privileges granted
to them in the endowment Of Berea Col
lege. When the Negro leaves the South
he yearns for the happy days spent
there, but when he remembers to what
extent he was denied the privi-
leges that all are entitled to he will
at least hesitate before returning from
a section of the country where he is
treated more like a man.

A GOOD LAW.

The Fifty-sixth General Assembly of
Tennessee passed a law to prohibit
drinking on trains, street cars, and
in public places. The law stipulates
that any one caught violating this act
shall be punished. This act was not
passed especially to protect Negro
women when riding on trains or fire.
quenting public places, but it covers
their case just the same, and every re-
spectacle man and woman will remem
Der the members of our last Legisla-
ture with the utmost respect for hav-
ing passed this law. And Negro women
can especially call them blessed, for
they, more than any class Of citizens,
have had to endure these outrages.
Restricted by law to one coach, they
are compelled to ride with the most
uncouth Of our race, and some Negro
men can show as little respect for their
women as any men any where in the
world. 1t is a source Of much graft
fication to know that in the future
in Tennessee, at least, Negro women
will not be confronted with the whisky
bottle every time they board a train.
We are satisfied that the men will
do all in their power to assist in hav-
ing this law enforced. 1t is a good
law and will go a long way towards
compelling men to respect themselves
and others in public places.

LEG BROKEN.

Mr.. Felix Hadley, u BTU Eleventh
avenue, North, received a very pain
full injury in the form Of a broken leg.
Last Wednesday while Ia the dis
charge of his duties at the Tulane Ho-
tel. whore he has been employed fer
more than twenty years, Mr.. Hadley
went to raise a large troll door in the
rear of the hotel, the door being
broken and he not knowing it, fell,
striking his leg, almost before he re-
allied what had happened. No one
was near and he called in vain for
help. Finally he managed to drag
himself to the Office Of DR.. Stevens,
where the wound was dressed. He
was then carried to his home, where
he is resting as well as can be ex-
pected.

PuLAsKIANs GRATEFUL.

Dear Editor-Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to thank
the many friends of Pulaski for show
ing a Christlike heart and contribu-
ting to Mrs. Jane Mannaway or my
self, either clothing, household goods,
bedding or money to give the suffer
ers, who were in the late disaster
which occurred about two weeks ago
near Bryson. We had planned to
have published all the names of those
who gave something but our list Is
too long, however a copy of the names
will be kept and sent to Rev. VIM.
Jones, the Baptist minister at Bryson,
Tenn, who is showing much interest
in helping to distribute the articles
given, to be read from his pulpit. Up
until now we have received wagon
loads and no one has refused as yet.
No committee appointed us, but we
felt it our duty to do something for
the stricken. No one a realize the
condition of the sufferers until you
see them or visit the scene Of the
wreck. People who nee lived as
We are living are now homeless, with
out clothing and without food. Thank
ing the many friends and trusting
that God will bless you, we are yours
for the cause Of humanity

COMMUNICATION.
CONSCIENCE.

To the Nashville Globe:
The conscience is a Godimplanted
faculty in man by which he distin-
guishes between the right and wrong
of his acts. 1t is a self-direc citing
force or endowment, which If implic-
lily obeyed, will keep him in the even
tenor Of his way without any overt
infringement of do unto others as
you would have others do unto you"
1t is an intuition or immediate percep-
ton enabling man to determine the
moral responsibility of his conduct.
1t is a compass more unerring than
the modernly-constructed mariners
compass. It's needle aver points to
the pole of right. It is an infallible
guide, if its directions are followed
without divergence, or debating the
wisdom of doing so.
Shakespeare, in writing Of this fac
ulty, said: Conscience does make
towards of us ALL" But doubtless he
meant that such is only true Of those
whose conduct toward their fellow.
men runs counter to their conscience,
for he said elsewhere in his writings:
Il feel within me a peace above all
earthly dignities, a still and quiet
conscience" 1t is sometimes true
that our consciences will so infect
our minds that they will to their
deaf pillows discharge their secrets,
or make us take fright at a bush be-
hind which we have peopled with a
bear, when there is no bear.

SCHOOL CLOSING TINE.

The season of the year has come
when every boy and girl is thinking
Of commencement. In a few weeks the
rope that rings the old school bell will be
hung on the nail, and the pupils and
teachers will be making their way
home. Some will be leaving never to
return as students. and if at all it
will be in a capacity quite different
from that Of a student. The
three institutions of higher learn
ing in this city, Fisk, Walden and
Roger Williams Universities, will send
out nearly one hundred graduates this
year. These young people go in diff
ferent parts of the country to labor
with their fellowmen. We hope for
them much success, and we hope they
all realize that success only comes to
them that work.

MOTHER GOOSE.

On last Friday night the members
of the Literary Society composed Of
graduates of Fisk University living in
this city rendered in Fisk Memorial
Chapel the old familiar play, Mother
Goose Rhymes" The story of "The old
woman who lived in a shoe" has been
listened to by millions Of children,
and is as universally known as any
story ever written by an American au-
thor. We do not feel that we can en-
Tighten many on the story, but a sug-
gestion comes to mind that may serve
we'll to aid some parents in training
their children.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the concert got to-
gether over one hundred children rang
ing from two to ten years old. They
then set to work to teach them how to
perform in the different acts, and we are
satisfied that they succeeded far be-
yond their expectations, for the little
people played their parts well. Some
of the smallest tots in the play were
among the most brilliant performers.
Parents were naturally interested in
their own children first, and those
whose children q not given conspic-
uous parts doubtless had a feeling Of
Ill will toward those who conducted
the affair, but If any parents had then
or have now such a feeling they
should dismiss it at once. The mem
bers of the society who had charge Of
the children during the time they were
being trained to perform in the play,
could not possibly do in a few hours
what the parents should have been do
ing from the time the little ones first
saw the light Of day. If your child is
dull you should not blame any one but
yourself. If you have said to your boy
or your girl "I have no time to bother
with you" or in reply to some question,
"That is non Of your business" with
out explaining why, ask yourself the
question if it is reasonable to expect
the child to have good ideas when as
a matter Of fact you have neglected to
teach them. Train up a child in the
way you would have it 60" is the
teaching Of Holy Writ, and again we
find this admonition: Spare not the
rod and spoil the child" Infants are
as susceptible now as they have been
at any time in the history Of the world,
and applications that were effective
three OF four thousand years ago are so
now. The only difference that can
probably be noticeable is that develop
ment Of the mind a be accomplished
earlier now than then, which makes
II more necessary that parents should
devote every minute possible 10 the
training Of their children.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-In the flu
ture the Inauguration of the presi-
dent will, in all probability, occur on
the last Thursday in April. Strong
pressure is being brought to bear for
the change of date from March a,

gress will take such action.
Representing a national commit
tee, comprising forty-eight governors
and twenty-one prominent citizens OF
Washington, II. b. Mcfarland, dis
trict commissioner, made a convlnc-
ing argument for the change before
the senate committee on privileges
and election stoday. All the senators
present subsequently declared that
they favored the last Thursday OF
April idea.
A house committee has considered
the matter and will recommend a
change of date.
