Betting Was Brisk.
The Derby, by the way, afforded an

What The Negro Is Doing
 For Himself Ln The South

Nearly all the backward races are exceedingly sensitive to the touch of criticism. Perhaps China Is an exeep- tion to this rule. They nave civili- zation of their own which they con sider superior to all others.
 Japan. struggling to take her place among the powers of the world. was greatly encouraged in her war with Russia by England, her great ally. and by the United States. whose moral sup port she enjoyed.
 The negro Is backward race strug- gling to take his place as useful American citizen. He can be very greatly encouraged by even a kindly word spoken by his white neighbors When John B, Cough was friendless and homeless and discouraged. Joel Stratton laid his hand upon his should CT and spoke words of encouragement The first glimnier of the star of hope then shed It's beams upon his pathway It was the turning point in Coughs history. In the coming days the negro will always remember words of en- couragement spoken by the white peo- pie.

THAW MAKES COMPLAINT
 THAT HE HAS NO PIANO

Newburgh. N. r.. Dec. 11.-The lat est arguments to secure the release of Harry K. Thaw from the Mattea- wan Asylum were heard today before Justice Tompkins at Nyack, at spe- cial term of the Supreme Court Wfi- lett Hoysradt. Thaw's counsel. made motion for the transfer of Thaw from Matteawan to another State institu- tiou.
 Thaw presented a long series of complaints against the hospital man agement That his surroundings are not conducive to recovery: that he Is compelled to dress in the presence of forty other patients; that he has no piano, cannot receive visitors, is in danger of assault and is compelled to listen to obscene and violent language of other patients.
 | Denial was made of these ailega- tions. l iThe court said he would decide first | whether he has the right to entertain the motion. If he decides he has. he will take up the question of hearing testimony on Thaw's complaint.

Here he work ed at SIPS day Five years later. he moved to Atlanta, where he secured employment by e white friend at s2 a day, and at the same time attended night school Tn 1902 Pharrow was drawing a salary Of s6.50 per day as foreman of one of the largest contract ing firms in the South. Later. he pent in business for himself. constructing several large buildings in Birmingham, costing from s5.0o0 to $2l.00o.
 Al first he was only able to take con tracts for the labor while the owners furnished the material. During the last four years. Pharrow has been able by having sufficient cash and unencum- bered property to make straight con tracts. furnishing both material and labor. Probably his largest contrac was the First Congrega ational Church of Atlanta. Ga. at cost of s35.000. In three years he constructed buildings in Birmingham and Atlanta at an aEgre- gate cost of s163.000.
 I was attending the National Negro Baptist Convention at Birmingham g guished men introduced was Junius c Groves. native of Kentucky. now of Edwards. Kas. He was born a slave and Is fuii-born negro. He is called the Negro Potato King because ir one year alone he produced upon his farm T2l.500 bushels of white potatoes averaging 245 bushels to the acre.
 "so far as reports show" says pr Rocker T. Washington. "this was 125.- 800 bushels more than any other grow CT of the world had produced"
 Besides his farming Interest Groves has large holdings in mining and banking stocks. He is regarded. per- haps. as the most successful farmer in the country. He was born in Green County, Kentucky. in 1859. Groves ships potatoes to all parts of the Uni ted States and Mexico and Canada.
 These are some illustrations of what the negro is doing for himself when properly encouraged by his white neighbors.

 There is q strong probability of rain Sunday and that the rain will be ac- companied by weather that will turn cold gradually. There may be, snow. That Is, rather. there might be, but the weather man says that there won't be. The snow matter was just thrown in to make the answer harder to guess.
