The Supreme Court of Oklahoma has
decided that the grandfather clause"
in the State constitution cannot be set
aside except by amendment. This clause
provides that a man cannot vote In that
State unless his grandfather could vote
somewhere. The object Is to ~disfranchise
many. negroes. whose grandfathers were
slaves.
It would be much better If we would
stop beating the Devil round the stump
In the matter Of the negro vote.
Why not face the music squarely?
The white people are not going to allow
the negroes to run this country and both
races know it, so what Is the use Of quib.
bling and subterfuges in the shape Of
Grandfather clauses and property and
educational qualifications. ct cetera?
The sooner this fact is thoroughly
understood by the negroes the better
There is no use to suffer the negro t.
follow this will-o-the-wisp any further, i
is an injustice to him.
This country was wrung from the hands
Of England in the wal Of the Revolution
by the Anglo Saxons and by the Angle
Saxon it will be governed. None neet
fear. He will attend to that.

invaders before protecting!
II q missionary in a Catholic country
should stand for one thing above all
others it is, that there is no real freedom
or progress where the Ipress Is sub]ectea
IN censorship. Does Mexico or any other
Catholic community furnish an example OF
a newspaper so censored as is the A. Il. r
church organ?
TT people In Alaska should object TO
ceasefess and unremittiong annoyance by
beppars for all conceivable purposes
must they be required to respond 10 de,
mands before being allowed to protest!
For instance: Suppose somebody IN that
far-off country should propose to assess
collect as to ask the graduates OF an IN
stitution for money for so needless and so
useless a thing as a Music Hall, should
graduates or friends Of the college be- de-
MED the right to protest until after they
had given two dollars?
Suppose the trustees of "a good college
ont in Alaska should determine to increase
the salaries of their teachers-if the teach
ers would raise the money.
Suppose, then, the teachers OF the Alas
kan College should organize a Teachers
Aid Association by which generous sums
could be raised under an idea that poor
bows we're being helped, while the eachers
themselves were really getting the plums.
Would a man in such case have to surrend-
er his dollars before %inquiring for whose
benefit his money was to go?
Let it be instilled into the hearts OF
your children that the liberty OF the press
is the palladium Of all your rights.

AbbevilIe Fair for coIored People.

The eolored people held their fair at the
Fair Grounds last week. The attendance
was good and the fair was a success.
The exhibits were very credible, consid
ering the fact that they had only three
weeks to work these exhibits up they were
very successful.
The exhibits consisted OF Live stock,
poultry, hand work, needle work, pantry
supplies, fancy work, school exhibits, farm
and garden products, ect.
The fair was a revelation to many OF the
white people who visited it. 1t reflects
credit on it's promoters and supporters.
The fair is a good institution for the
negros. and if all of them in the country
could have attended it they would ave
been gamers thereby. Each should see
what the others are doing, what KIND OF
corn the other fellow is planting, what
kind of chickens he is raising, what KIN
of cotton furnishes the best yield, SO that
he may improve his W labors ana De-
come inspired with desire to excel:

The Lust for Hazard.

Its call is loud. Blatant as the tocsin Of
war it's peal reverberates from state to
state. 1t is seen and heard in the very
pastimes Of our people. From dizzy pin
acles men leap for lucre, shoot rapids in
the very face Of death, 60 in to the air
with the grim monster rs a companion
and feel the edge of his. remorsless scythe
with smiles of Indifference. The lust OF
hazard drives US to the track which if We
do not enter at least we gloatto see men
shoot themselves through space like hu-
man rockets. Wreck, carnage, blood, and
death serve not to quench the thirst for
risk. Feverish for furious speed, eager
for dizzy nights and danger men leave
the trodden ways and seek to satisfy this
lust.
Miles into the air they go. They tumble
in Chutes and loops. They dive througe
space in blazes Of fire. They dare the cur
rents of the air and balance their lives
against a wing Of cloth. Death laughs and
takes his toll.
Why is it?
Why is it? 1t Is because man must be
master and he will be He must be master
Of the world. Four hundred years ago
man was not master OF a single ocean and
now he has made them a highway, his
''big road. One hundred years ago cleo
trio fluid flowel embarrassed, but now
man is master. Not until the days of Watt
did steam serve man but now it slaves for
him. The elements of the earth pay him
tribute, the winds do his bidding, the
waves are but his hireling. 49,
The lust for hazard is but the desire to
conquer. Indomitable, unquenchable it
Springs eternal in the human breast"
And man will conquer. The very air shall
yet bolster his ships ever as the turbulent
| ocean now carries his craft from continent
to continent.

We Need One.

In a speech before Charlestons Chamber
OF Commerce, MIR. Dobbs, Of Atlanta, the
great Advertising expert said:
Every town should have a central OF
~ganization, call it a chamber Of commerce
a board Of trade, or what you will, by
Q Of which general business growth
may be developed. One man thinks that
smoke in chimneys means prosperity
and 3 third in park expansion. All are or
the right track, but the individual view
point must be given for the benefit Of the
whole, and this is best done through the
instrumentality Of O central organization
Is Mr.. Dobbs right oris Abbeville wrong
he says an organization is necessary; by
our actions we say that it Is unnecessary
Which is right?

EXEMPTION FROM CRITICISM ?
Does the Church Need a MuzzIed Press?
Should Its Officers Have Free
dom From Criticism and be Re-
: leased From Accountability?

(Contributed.)
In the issue OF the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian for last week we find the
following:
If you want to indulge in the pleasure
Of advising and criticising, see to it that
you are doing your part. It doesn't
become one who is doing little to criticise
others for not doing the work as it ought
to be done"
The meaning Of the sentences quoted is
a little obscure, and we are left to guess
at its intent.
Are critics admonished "to see to 1t that
they are doing their part" Of the CRITICS
ing?
Or Is it unbecoming in one who is not
taking q prominent part in church work
to criticise "others for not doing the work
as it ought to be done2"
Or, Is it meant to convey the idea that
"those who are not doing the work as it
ought to be done" should be allowed to
escape all criticism or censure for derelic-
ton of duty simply because the critics
may not belong to the clergy or to the
bossing class?
Or, does it mean that "those who are
not doing the work as it ought to be done"
are above criticism from the laiety who
are paying the bills?
Or, what has the work Of the critic got
to do with the merit or demerit Of the
question?
Or, may not an humble contributor to
| the church fund c~riticise unwise, extrava-
CANT or unwarranted expenditure Of the
money that is, in the nam Of the Lord, by
| force or intimidation, taken from him for
alleged church purposes?
Or, Is it meant that those Of the clergy
| who assume important trusts or make
extravagant or partial distribution Of our
money should be exempt from criticism?
Or, should ineficiency in the handling
OF trust funds by the clergy be guaranteed
exemption from the criticism Of that class
who pay the money?
Or, does it mean that the clergy, who
handle the money OF the laiety, should
be exempt from that censure which should
attend the true event.
The plea that those who are doing the
work may escape criticism may have been
made in mercy? If SO, we will let that
pass. But, if the meaning was that the
clergy was above criticism for wrong
doing, that is another matter. If the
sentences quoted were meant to forestal
exposure of the errors or the mistakes O
the clergy the position is not well taken
The church paper, it seems to us, shoult
require the highest standards of morals
and the strictest integrity of conduct OF
the part oil all those who may handle
church money. The demand for escape
from criticism is a little out of precedent
# may be, however, that the church papeJ
was merely paving the way for the re
~ception of annual reports from those whom
the people may have a doubt as to TIL
value or correctness Of their services.
Our observation is, that, no matter HOY
much a paper may seek to keep facts con
cealed it cannot long cover doubtful deed
with a pavilion OF darkness. The peopl
may be, and no doubt are, many time
