A NEW INVENTION.

r. l.. Kearney of Greenville, n.
c., is another member of the race,
who has demonstrated the fact,
that the Negro can do things like
other people. He is the inventor
of IA patented improvement in
plows.
1t is boltless combination plow.
The work of three plows is accom-
plished in one. A cotton plow
with double front points and shares
of wings, sweeps and half sweeps
of various shapes and sizes, best
adapting them to all stages of
growing crops. 1t has also COM
plete set of castings which consti-
tute it turning plow with three
sizes of wings, the smallest max
ing it suitable for breaking very
hard or rough land, All parts are
changeable. The position of
handles and beam may be changed
to suit the requirement Only one
stock, beam and handles are re-
ouired, and upon these may be fit
ted any shape or size castings to
meet the demand of the work at
hand.-Tuskegee Student.

HOLDING OUR OWN.

In a great speech at Springfield,
ILL.,. on Lincoln day, DR.. Booker
Washington (who, by the way, was
the principal spealer) had much to
say concerning the splendid record
our people had made in the accum-
ulation of real and personal prop
erty. 1t is permissible for Mr..
Washington to pile up these facts
when telling the story of "our up
from slavery" with much satisfac-
ton to himself, and to. the delight
and astonishment of his hearers,
who are dependent for the most
part on lurid descriptions OF Negro
criminal offenses for their knowl-
edge Of the race. First hand
knowledge is mighty good and IN
spring. But how much better
would it be at the end of this year
if we and. all our leaders could
point to the laying aside OF many
of our e.travagant habits and the
growing pile of money deposited by
our people in strong banks or IN
vested in homes and farms. 1t
would be unlzind and pitiful to
Judge the wealth of the Negro by
that of the whites. Our people
must force the attention OF the pub
lie to our increased habits oil fru-
gality and thrift, by curtaillng the
numerous police court crimes and
senseless pleasures. The world
needs our wealth. 1t needs our
earnings. 1t needs our labor.
Demonstrate to the world that we
will save, and watch the problem
solve itself.

"The Democratic party thirty
five years ago put the Negro out OF
state politics and in all its plat
forms promised protection to him
in his educational and civil rights.
We have been getting along pretty
well with him, all things consid-

him subject of political cam
baigning in the Democratic party.
He has no place there. We are all
white men alike and all equally in

will all stand together on that, and
all favor repeal of the fifteenth
amendment, if it should ever be
possible. The races are at peace;
it is necessary to preserve that sta
tus if we are going to live among
Negroes. 1t is utter folly to make
the Negroes think that the people
of Mississippi wish to deprive them
of their schools. 1t is worse than
folly to pursue the course that
would make them feel that we are

The New York Age.)

Yazoo City, Miss, Feb. o.
James K. Vardaman, known for his
rfdical views on the Negro ques-
fon. has reached the conclusion
within the past three or four weeks
that the day of getting elected to
office in Mississippi by appealing to
the racial prejudices of the white
voters is thing of the past.
In the present ballotlng for
United States Senator, Ex-Governor
Vardaman finds that his chances OF
becoming elected to the United
States Senate are fading daily. A
strong combination has been
formed to prevent his election, due
in the main to his anti-Negro ut
terances.
Senator Gibbs of Yazoo City, one
of the leaders of the opposition, has
set forth the following reasons why
he is strongly opposed to the cleo
ton of Vardaman:
1T was well known when L was
sent to the Senate this time that L
did not wish to come, and that L
was SO strong an anti-Vardaman
man that even supported Mr.. Viii
liams. who had long been my po-
litical opponent. There is nothing
personal to my opposition to Gov
ernor Vardaman' MS candidacy, but
adhering to the tenets of our party
laid down in 1868 and made good
in 1875 when the state was re-
deemed by it from radical rule and
looking to the future unity and
welfare of our white people, L can
not endorse the constant crusade
against the inferior race.
AGAINST Crusade Against Negro Race.
''Should it attempt to assert po-
litical rights, we have the white line
and the constitution Of 1890 to hold
lid our hands. To be everlastlngly
discussing the Negro merely makes
him oyerestimate his Importance
and renders it that much more Oil
ficult for us to deal with situation
always serious anyway. The Negro
is here by the act of the slave trad
ers and our forefathers, and not OIL
his own volition. He is free by the
act of the white people OF both sec
tions who engaged in war. lie was
made a voter by the victorious
North he was disfranchised by us
in spite of the fifteenth amendment.
Why then should he be forced INTO
the arena of political discussions
and thus made to assume position
of sullen hostility toward us?
