The First Senatorial District of
Kent County and the First and

famed therein continue to be the
chief topic of conversation as the

two representatives approaches. and

Of the doubtful senate and two mem

cress of the early skirmishing in
tonselv interesting. The Sunday Star
of Wilmington which recently pub
lished a Republican story of the sit
nation concerning DR.. T. c Moore IS
successor. now comes out with
Democratic story as follows: 1.-The
consensus of opinion among working
Democrats of the senatorial district
is that the s+rogest man to run
AGAINST Colonel William y. Denney,
the Republican candidate and private
secretary of Senator. Richardson, is
Assemblyman Hervey vP. Hall, OF
Smy rna.
Hervey P. Hall VS.. Horace Mustard
H.P.Hall, besides his youthful vigol
and personality, is regarded as th'
logical candidate for the Democrat
from the fact that he has been rul
twice as representative from tn
SMYRNA district, the first time cut
ting the Republican majority in two
and the Second time carrying the dis
trict with flying colors and siXt
votes to burn. The old Democrat
warhorse. Horace Mustard, has bee
mentioned and is being urged by tn
friends of the Saulsburys. To
number of leading Democrats OF tt
senatorial district to whom his nan
was mentioned, Mr.. Mustard W;
held in high esteem as a splend
Delawarean, but nine out of ten
these Democrats, declared that
their judgment, he would be no cor
parison to Mr.. Hall as a candida
in this very doubtful district, for t
very reason that his advanced a
and impaired hearing would ma
him no match for the hustling Hi
as a vote getter.

MooREsVlLLE NOTES.

On last Tuesday night magnifi-
cent audience filled the spacious Audi
forum of Mckenzie A. NJ e. Church
to witness the closing exercises Of
Prof. j. B. Jones' school. The pro-
gram consisted of songs, Rotations,
dialogues and plays. All Of which
were high class and interesting from
start to finish. Several selections
were rendered from Paul Dunbar.
This closes one of the most success
fll school terms taught here in several
years. Prof. Jones has greatly en-
deared himself to both patrons and
students. We hope to have him
with us in the fall. With
the cooperation of the County
Board of Education and a persistent
effort on the part of our people we
have succeeded in building up an
eight months school. Plans are now
or foot for nine months term next
school year.
The colored people of Mckenzie are
to be commended for the firm stand
they have taken for the cause Of ed
! ucation.

reduced to AS per cent. 1t is un-
doubtedly much lower at the present
time, as is shown by the fact that
from 1890 to 1900 it had been reduced
from 57.1 per cent to 44.5 per cent.
In my State of Ohio, where the Negro
is educated and gladly takes advan-
tage of the opportunities for an edu-
cation, only 179 per cent were Inter
ate at the times of the last census.
There are white countries with cen
turtles of civilization behind them
which can not show any such adj
vancement. / am told that there are
10000 Negro students in colleges,
studying all branches from trade to
scientific and classical courses.
More than 10000 have graduated
from the various secondary institu-
tons; more than 10000 from colleges.
There are 5000 teachers, 10000 cler-
gymen, 1000 musicians, 1900 ply
sicians and surgeons; 1000 lawyers,
800 journalists, 236 artists, so bankers
and brokers, and so architects. The
race owned in 1904 property amount
ing to 81, 1OO,0OO00O 1t operates 476,-
71S farms, and owns lS7,797 farms.
This is not bad showing for
race which has had but fifty years
of freedom, and what a splendid OPP
portunity would be given by an eX-
position of this kind to show the re-
suits of all this effort in way that
the people of the country will have an
opportunity for personal inspection
What better way to encourage them
to further effort along the lines OF
good citizenship? In 1900 the Ne
groes owned farm property valued at
100000 900, almost $500 for each Ne
gro family. The auditor of the State
of Virginia, in his report of 1904,
SAYS that the Negro increased the
value of his property in one year
S1,O54,626, making a value in that
year of their total property of $l9,-
554,S44
We have recognized that the real
backbone OF our country is agricul-
ture. The Negro has recognized this
fact. More than 100000 are en-
Gagged in agricultural pursuits.
The Negro has not forgotten that
religion is a necessary adjunct to
good citizenship, and they have 2OO,-
/ 600 churches, valued at many mil
lions Of dollars. | believe that the
people of the North, as we'll as the
/ South, should interest themselves In
this great work. A commission
should be appointed of able and prom
inent men, the matter should be fully
investigated, and l firmly believe
that. after a full investigation, there
will be a recommendation for an eX
position which will be of incalculablt
benefit to the colored and the white
people of this country. This eXposi
ton would tell a story of great hu
man interest. 1t would be the onl,
one of its kind, and would therefor
be, by it's novelty and by its laudabl
purpose, the center of attention OF al
thinking people of this country.

Of Ohio in National House %, 1910
in Favor of National Exposition showing Progress
of tn

Jan. 27-The House being in Com
mittee of the Whole House on the
state of the Union and having UNI
der consideration the bill Oh. R..
1862 making appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1911.
Mr.. Taylor, of Ohio, said:
Mr.. Chairman: For some time
prior to the date of the Presidents
message there has been an agitation
of proposition by leading Negroes
that it would be fitting, as well as a
benefit to the people, that there
should be a great national exposition
showing the progress made by the
Negro race, not only during the pc
Rod of their freedom, but also from
the time of their coming to this coun-
try.
The year 1913 will mark the fiji
tieth anniversary of the emancipation
proclamation granting freedom for
the Negro, and for the first time put
ting him on a basis where he must
20 into the world and be self-sustain-
ing and self-supporting. A great
exposition showing the tremendous
strides this race has made in fifty
years, both in agricultural, industrial,
commercial, business and profession
al life, would be Of great benefit and
of tremendous educational value, not
only to the Negro, but to the white
race, throughout this great country.
/ am glad to say that thise move
ment has not only met with the ap-
proval of the prominent Negroes, but
has been encouraged and will con
tinue to be encouraged by prominent
white people and the press Men OF
the South are as much interested in
an exposition of this kind and have
shown as much, if not more, encour'
agement toward the project as any
other secion of the country. Pres
ident Taft in his message calls atten
ton to this movement and the pro
posed exposition, and suggests that
a preliminary commission be author
lied by Congress of not more than
seven persons to consider carefully
whether or not it is wise to hold such
an exposition, and if so, to outline
plan for the enterprise. His recon-
mendation carries a preliminary com
mission without salary, except as t
their actual expenses, and he advises
that an appropriation be made fol
this purpose only

progress Of the Negro race, and i'm
mediately after the message wa
read in Congress I prepared a join
resolution, which was submitted t,

That the President of the Unite
States be authorized TO appoint

sons to consider carefully whether o

the commission, ali of which shall
be provided by the Secretary of the
Treasury on vouchers approved by
the chairman of the commission.
This resolution is now pending
before the committee to which it
was referred, and l hope and believe
that it will be favorably reported and
passed by both the House and Sen
ate of the United States. l am also
gratifed that the Hon. William
Rodenberg, of Illinois, chairman of
the Committee on Industrial Arts and
hxpositions, has introduced like
resolution, and has shown great in
lerest in, and approval Of the sub
ject.
What more valuable purpose could
be served than to teach the world of
the progress of the Negro in his fifty
ears of freedom in an educational,
moral and religious direction? To
be a success, it must not be left 10
the Negro people dlOne, bat should
be matter in which the whole Am r
ican people, white ana cclored, should
take an active interest,".
There have been many expositions
held during recent years, and there
may be a feeling that there have
been too many; but an exposition OF
this kind, which serves such a lauda'
BILE purpose, should be encouraged
particularly when it Will teach the
world a lesson, showing how it is
possible for two races to live togeth-
er in peace and helpfulness. NO
pace in the world do so many white
and co.ored people live together with
so little friction as in the United
States. In no place in the world has
the Negro advanced further in indus
trial, educational and moral direction
than has the Negro in the United
States. The causes for these ad-
vancements, the results of their eff
forts, placed under intelligent scruti-
ny, must result in benefit to all the
people of the United States, as we'll
as to the world.
1t is of the greatest Importance to
the Nation that the Negro should be
uplifted in every possible way; that
his right to self-improvement should
be recognized that he should be en-
oouraged in citizenship; and If an eX-
position of this kind viii help the
Negro, such an exposition should by
all means be held / do not speak
4 from sentiment. | look upon this as
a great economic question, one to be
taken hold of seriously and soberly
and worked out with the utmost
I care. For that reason | approve oil
a commission of prominent men
first to determine it's ACCESSIBILITY and
second, to lay out plan for its con
/ summation 1t seems to me that the
first question before the commission
is. viii such an exposition benef
the colored race? If this commission
determines that it will, there can b.
no valid objection from any section
of this country to such an exposition
careful investigation of the result
of the Negroes progress brings fort
some startling figures When yo
think that the education Of the Negr
