A Colored Man Has Narrow Escape

A police officer saw colored man
go into an alley between Broad and
Grace on Third Street last Tuesday
night. He followed him, but he had
disappeared in one Of the yards. He
searched the yards in that neighbor.
hood, but could not find him.
After waiting for some time he
heard a gate slam and he saw the
man. He called upon him TO halt. He
then fred at him. When he came out
he saw the man standing and both OF
his hands raised above his head
He was a colored man. He explain
ed that he had been on a committee
20 run an excursion to West Point
and the train was late getting in.
He went into the lot TO see his sis.
ter. The officer carried him back and
found that he told the truth. The col.

II seems too that several persons
were injured in a fight that TOOK

roo MUCH JACK JOHNSON.

IL has been something over a
month since the Johnson-Jeffries
fight Your last issue contained six
or seven different articles either di-
rectly on the fight. or indirectly in
reference TO Johnson bcause Of his
victory. These articles would take up
somewhat more than one page Of the
issue. Both before and after the
fight. have held that Il is unim-
portant 10 the Negro and 20 the
white whether Johnson or Jeffries
win. can understand. however, that
Johnson's victory might cause some
temporary feeling OF pride in the
Negro.

was safe. The boys got scared and
called the game. At the calling the
score was three for boys and three
for girls with two out on girls side.
A fine game had been played thus
far. The boys admitted that he girls
could play ball. The young ladies
claim they won because IL was a tie

four innings had been played by each.

OTHER PAPERS LET UP.

But certainly the best negro pa
pers have dropped the matter now
for weeks. cannot see how your
policy in that respect is going 20 help
the Negro at all. IL looks 20 me 20
be blatant. and blatant, besides, in re-
gard to a thing for which there is
no reason 70 be proud. Continually
holding up such a victory before the
Negro will never do much 20 develop
him, or TO inspire him.

KEEP HAIR KTNKY.

Another thing at which I have
been somewhat surprised In your
paper has been the amount OF ma
terial in the advertising columns on
hair pomades, hair straighteners,
etc. II the Negro should he urged
TO ape the white in appearance, that
sort of advertisements would seem
TO be the right kind. II the Negro
should be urged to develop along his
own line, and not spend their money
on such things as those hair-growers
such advertisements will do no good.

Dear Sirs;
I subscribed for your paper and
have been reading It carefully since
have received IT, because / desire
TO understand the efforts the Negroes
are making for their Improvement
I am white, but I am sincerely in
earnest in wishing the greatest pos
sible advancement of the Negro in
every possible way. 10 is for that
reason that ! take the liberty to call
your attention TO one or two features
in the paper, for which I can find
no justification, IL your policy is, as
mine is. 20 do all that is possible "a
advance the Negro.

A HUMOROUS VIEW.

For this reason, they laugh with
them over the Jeffries and Johnson
fight and turn 1t of with the remark
that a white man, who would lower
himself to fight with a Negro should
get a licking for his pains. Couple
this with the fact that many white
men bet on Johnson and many Ne
groes took a chance on Jeffries, the
matter is evened up and peace and
harmony prevail in this portion of
the Masters vineyard. Still this
does not properly answer all of your
objections and l grant that prize
fights in this country are on a par
with bull-fghts in Spain and Mex
leo.

INJURY NOT GREAT.

I realize. OF course, that In both
of these regards the injury is not
great when compared with many OF
the other injuries which the Negro
suffers. Ny point is that here are
two points in which the attention of
the Negro can be directed in a way
that will prove more profitable to the
Negro. The Negro journals can do
and are doing a very great deal in
my opinion, to direct the attention
in the proper way.

THE WASTE OF ATTENTION.

The waste OF the attention is the
thing that keeps the development
from going on. / believe that in re-
gard TO the fight many OF the other
good Negro papers are already far
ahead of you; in some of them there
has been no reference either directly
or Indirectly TO it for three issues.
Many of the Negro journals, also,
have much fewer advertisements OF
the sort TO which / refer.
hope you win take these remarks

You are absolutely correct in your

er Jeffries or Johnson won. so far
as the effect upon either race is con
cerned. I have expressed this opinion
IN the editorial columns OF The
Planet. / have looked upon the mat
ter just as / have looked upon a
race between a black and a white
horse. The promoters do not look at
the color of the contestants, but at
the color OF the money that will
come 90 them. To this end, as you
have no doubt observed, have ad-
vised our people to be careful of
their conduct.

ALL WHITE MEMS COMMENT.

The news articles which have ap-
peared in the columns of The Planet
were all Written by white men and
not by Negroes. They were publish
ed and are now being published in
compliance with a public demand by
colored people. just as column after
column OF matter has been publish
ed by white journals concerning JET
fries and had he won, they would
have yet been published. AS you no
doubt have been advised, had he won
he would have made a tour of this
country and Europe and columns of
matter would have been given to the
readers Of this aud other countries.
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THEM.
You will see then that IL is well
to look on the side of human nature
sometimes and TO realize that after
all there is no difference save for
the color OF the skin between the
relative appetites and desires of a
white man and a Negro. AS strange
as IL may seem 10 you, down here
in this portion of the Southland,
there is no feeling of resentment on
the part OF white men because of
Johnson's victory over Jeffries and
white men of the better class and
type look with amusement upon the
acts of "glorification" on the part
or some colored people on account
of the success of one of the members
of their race. And right here it may
be well to state that the better class
of southern white men in contraven-
tion to those of the hoodlum type
have more patience with the short
comings of the Negroes of the aver
age type than have the nOrtherners
and westerners of the more phleg-
matte strain
