Tit SOUTHS OBLIGATION TO TIE NEGROES
DR.. J. q. lar BR I'll

Civilization has its roots in Chris
tianity. All progress in all directions
mast be measured from Calvary.
This IS not rhetoric; it is the simplest
truth illustrated by the history of the
world. The State never rises above
the common level of the people; there
fore, the problem of progress is to be
solved by growing people. And this
applies to the entire population of any
country. A sober, intelligent, reli-
gious people, who fear God and regard
men, will build a noble civilization on
any part Of the earth's surface. An
ignorant, bestial, profiigate race will
build nothing, but will prove a burden
on the productive classes.
TO SAVE THEM is TO SAVE OURSELVES.
The South's near and urgent duty is
to look to the improvement of the Ne
groes. This is urgent from every con-
s~ideration,. eve the lowest. The TO-
100000 Negroes of America are a ire
mendous industrial force, handicapped
in a terrible degree by ignorance and
immortality. To evangelize and teach
these people is to contribute directly
and in the most effective way to the
industrial energy of the country.
1t is nothing to the point to say,
that if they were not here, other and
better laborers would come to us, We
must reckon with the fact that they
are here, and the further fact that they
will be in the future, as in the past
and now, the mud-sill of the South's
Industrial system. From an industrial
point of view, therefore it is the
highest function of Christian states
manship to elevate the foundation Of
cur industrial system, as we'll as So
cial system. From the Christian view
point, our duty is plain. We must
evangelize and teach the Negroes for
their saikes and ours The spirit that
would abandon them to ruin will in
troduce the dry rot into our churches
always and everywhere. The spirit
that would save others is the spirit
that saves us always and saves us
everywhere. 1t is the simple truth
taught in the Scriptures, and when a
church centers its concern in itself,
it dies. "Whosoever will ave hi life
life shall lose it" is the Masters state
ment Of the workings Of the inwrought
law of the Kingdom. 1t works with
all the certainty Of g%ravitation and it
apple sas broad as the human race.
1t is up to us, therefore, to evangelize
the Negroes for every reason known
to the Christian faith.

WOMEN ELECT OFFICERS.

Preparations are already being
made by the Women's Auxiliary to
the Tennessee Colored Fair Associa-
ton whereby a more elaborate state
fair for 1911 will be assured. The
first meeting was held Monday after
noon in the parlors of Taylor & Co,
on Fourth avenue, North. The meet
ing was largely attended by those in
terested in the future success of
their department Of the state fair.
The most encouraging reports were
made and each of the ladies present
vas enthusiastic over the outlook for
the coming year. Their policy seems
to have been in the past to pass the
honors of first executive or presi-
dent around so as to enlist the hearty
cooperation of as many of the ladies
ard their friends as possible. AS a
result, the last president, Mrs. VIM.
Wilson, of East Nashville, who rem
dered such yeoman service, declined
reelection. After transacting much
business of Importance and being as
sured by the loyal members of the
organization of a larger membership
for the ensuing year, the following
officers were elected: President, Mrs
N. H. Plus; First Vice, Mrs. G.. w.
Cage; Second Vice, Mrs. M. ]. Bell
Third Vice, Mrs. Alice Douglass;
Fourth Vice, Mrs. M. l.. Howard;
Fifth Vice, Mrs. Emma Alfordfi Sec
rotary, Mrs. H. A. Boyd; Assistant
Secretary, Mrs. G.. w. Perry; Treas
urer, Mrs. R. H. Boyd.

if we succeed much. Il seems to me
that our efforts will count for most,
if we everywhere reinforce the Ne
groes in their plans and efforts for
progress. They must walk on their
own feet and 1t is for us to steady
their steps and lead them on till they
are sufficient in themselves. OF course,
white people must exercise due care
not to encourage wild and selfish
schemes; but every worthy enterprise
among the Negroes should have our
encouragement.
The Negroes should be taken into
every moral movement, such as anti
saloon, anti-gamhling movements, and
the better side given ample guaran-
tees of protection against combina-
lions of wicked men, white or black,
who would do them har:n. Their
preachers and teachers should have
cordial recognition on all suitable oc-
casions for the work they are doing.
White people should preach for them
and teach them as opportunity and
need shall call. If any one thinks
this beneath him, let him think that
Christ died for them. 1t was one of
the glories of Gen. Stonewall Jackson
that be regularly taught a class of
Negroes in Sunday-school. I glory in
the fact that my first pastorate was
a Negro church, and they helped me
as much as I helped them.
With a new Impeachment of the
races in the South, with open hearts
and minds, and the free play of the
spirit of Him, who, though He was
the Lord of Glory, became the servant
of all, we will go on together to full
fill our mission in the earth, and at
last sit down together in the Kingdom
of God with all the faithful.

PRESENT CONDITIONS.

Nothing I have said is meant to i'm
ply the contention that Southern
white people alone have the burden of
the African race on them. Far from
it. Northern people have done a noble
work among the Negroes in the South
since the war, mainly through their
schools. That they have not been
uniformly wise may be admitted; but
after subtracting all imaginable evil,
a vast good remains. Relatively they
will do less in the future. And after
doing all they can in reason be eX-
ected to do, it will be only a little ON
pared with the bulk of the burden left,
The Negroes themselves must do
most of what is necessary to their
elevation. Whoever undertakes what
the Negroes have done since the civil
war for their own betterment is either
woefully ignorant or wickedly per-
verse. Their accomplishments read
more like a story of Aladdin's lamp
than a plain recital of facts, stated in
figures. The Negroes have made mar
velous progress in wealth and in ed
ucation. They have now noble lead
ers, men and women of culture and
vision, who are leading the race to
higher ground. The leaders are, al
most without exception, sane as to the
proper lines of progress, and as to the
relation of the races; far more so, as
a rule, than Northern advisers of their
race were forty, twenty, ten years ago,
or even now.
If I can. judge properly the hour has
struck for a new approachment Of
Southern whites and Southern blacks,
for a common upbuilding on the basis
of acknowledged racial distinctions;
but a common basis in Christianity.
What the Negroes have done in the
South in forty years, they have accom-
lrlished as they have been steadied and
helped by the white people. There is
hardly a meeting house built by the
Negroes, of the tens of thousands they
have, that white people have not put
money into it. The whites have taxed
themselves tens of millions of dollars
for Negro schools. All this should go
on in an ever charging spirit.
ParalyzeG be the tongue of the dema-
gogue who would turn the helping
hand of the white people away from
a struggling race in u midst. Such
demagogues are at best but educated
harbarians devoid of the spirit Of
Christianity and civilization alike.
HELP THE NEGRO HELP HIMSELF.

line of real progress is along the
course of racial feeling and racial
pride. Not much can be done blowing

SAID LOVE LED
TO A DIVORCE
LATEST THEORY ON DOMESTIC
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MUST
BE TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

New York, oct. 2O.-"The most
frequent cause for divorce is mar
rlage for love" This latest contli-
button to the philosophy of our do.
mestic infelicity is made by Arthur
T. Vance, editor of the Pictorial
Review. In current magazine arti-
Gle Mr.. Vane observes:
The weakness of our marriage
system lies in the very factor to
which we point with pride-the love
match. Married life built on love
alone has a poor foundation. Love is
selfish. Five marriages out of every
twelve fail because they were built
on love, which will not stand the
test OF everyday life"
do you advocate marriage with
out love?" the author was askeil
II do not" he answered prompt
ly. IF bread were made without salt
it would be uneatable. But if 1t were
made OF all salt ii would be even
more failure. So in marriage, If
the ingredient OF love is lacking
there is likely to be trouble. But
II love is the only ingredient it's
just as fatal as all salt and no
flour in the bread"
And the flour in the mixture of
matrimony?" he was asked.
rs friendship said Mr.. Vance
"The secret OF friendship Is trust.
When two men really are friends
each one feels so sure of the other
that neither gossip nor separation
nor any new companionships can
shake their faith.
What sensible man wouIi, object
If his wife went to luncheon some
day with a man she knew in her
school days? Plenty of sensible wo-
men, however are aghast at the
idea of their husbands ever lunch
ing with other women, no matter
what the circumstances of former
friendship. Same way every good and
virtuous wife feels it her sacred du.

Men are used to the ideals of

OLD Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inflamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down i'll
the system there is a morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
Of all impure matter and supplied

New YORK, Oct. 1O.-hcpIesthlaI'c
Otto G. Foelker, the man who was car
ried from his bed into the state SEN
ate chamber to cast the deciding vote
for the anti-race bills urged by Gov
ernor Hughes, took the stand as a
sworn witness today and told the Mer'
ritt joint legislative committee the
details of an alleged attempt In l9OS
by former State Senator Frank j.,
Gardner, now under arrest, to buy his
vote. Gardner was called to the stand
but refused to testify. Robert Elder,
first assistant district attorney OF
Kings county (Brooklyn), repeated a
conversation which he says he had
with Gardner in March last, and which
previously had been referred to as a
confession"
Mr.. Elder did not vouch as of his
own knowledge for the truth OF what
he repeated, but he gave for what 1t
might be worth testimony that involv-
ed more names of men now living and
names of men higher In social, busi-
ness and political life, coupled with
the distribution of bigger sums OF
money than anything yet heard In eth

vious sessions of the present commit

Huge Corruption Fund.
The narrative created sensation
Briefly. 1t told OF dinner at Delmon
ico's OF a prominent man friendly TO
the race tracks; of 100000 subscrib'
ed to a corruption fund; of the dis
tribution of this fund to politicians
and to well known political cores
pondents at Albany of the New York
newspapers, and of secret grievances
of the late Senator Patrick McCarren
that worked for the passage OF the
bill against his own wishes and his
own associates.
"In the month of March" testified
Mr.. Elder, 81 sent for Gardner. !
told him | wanted to know about the
efforts made at Albany to defeat the
race track bills.
Men High Up Mentioned.
Gardner said, I don't mind telling
you that there was a meeting at Del
monico's at which money was sub
scribed.' He mentioned the names of
several men who were there, includ-
ing members of the Metropolitan Tar.
iff association, and the bookmakers.
He said that among the men there
that ! remember-were James r.
Keene, David Mitchell Mr. Parsons,
Harry Whitney and Charles II. Hyde
Charles II. Hyde is now chamber
lain of New York City, and was for
merly a law partner of Mayor Gaynor.

to McCarren's displeasurc, Mr.. Nc
Carren was secretly in favor of the

venged because he had not been con.
suited"
Then came mention of the press.
He (Gardner)," resumed Mr.. ED
er, said the newspaper men were
literally taken care of out of the
fund"
Asked for the names of these men
Mr. Elder said: Il recall, he said, a
man named Joe McEntee, of the Sun,
got $4,000, that Patrick Relihan of the
Press got $4,000; that Louis Seibold
of the World got $4,000; George Jan
drin of the Brooklyn Citizen, $4,000,
and Tyrell of the Brooklyn Eagle,
$4,000 lie said the Times man OF
Brooklyn got $500

George Tyrell, until January /, Al
bany correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle, took the stand and testified that
Gardner had offered him $500 at Al
bany and how he had declined 1t. Just

tomorrow Mr.. Bruce, counsel for the
committee. said:
II do not state that these newspa

Albany and how to approach people.
$4,000 to President OF Senate.
"He said Hyde had subscribed at
the meeting at DelmoniCo's for VIII
liam Engerman, who had failed to pay
and that Hyde had put in bill for
personal expenses by which he was TO
be paid for doing the work at Albany,
but that Hyde did not pay him and
that this made it necessary for him
to take $4,000 from the amount he
did get elsewhere, to make good on
two agreements. Five thousand of
this money, he said, went to the pres
ident of the senate.
The witness was reminded that the
then president of the senate, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chandler, had voted for
the bill.
Did you understand that he meant

and president protein of the SEN
ate) ?"
FoeIker Took $4,000.
Il so understood" said the witness
Il asked him more about Foelker,' -
continued the witness, picking up an
other thread. He said Foelker had
taken $4,000 to vote against the bill
and then had voted for 1t anyway. He
said: You know Foelker was sick
man and We had n scheme TO bring
him to Albany and have three doctors
there pronounce him too sick to so to
the senate, but Cannon Chase stuck
so close TO him that the scheme fell
through"
Newspaper Man Denies Charges.
Concerning the statement of Assist
ant District Attorney Elder, in so far
rs it personally refers TO him, Mr..
Scibold made this statement tonight:
AS l understand Mr.. Elders state
ment, he says that ex-senator Gard
ner told him that he had paid money
to certain newspaper men, of whom l
was one, to influence them against the
Hughes race track gambling bills in
1908.
