II Is really fntesesting as well as
amusing to see hoy careful some OF
our prospective patrons are with their
investments, and how they must have
time to think 1t over and consult with
their wife or husband as the case may
be. when we approach and ask them
to invest rs cents for three months
subscription to this paper, a race en-
terprise, which they should be glad
to help. II they had the right kind OF
desire to help their race on the up
ward tread to progress and success.
But that same careful investor Will
spend several times that amount In
a far less profitable way, and don't
call family conference either.

BIG NEGRO NOT A FACTOR.

The big Negro. that Is. one who has
an inflated conception Of his or her
Importance in society. is absolutely
no benefit to enterprises. II De pat
ronizes a colored institution at all it
Is only to the extent of the credit al
lowed him; then he goes back to the
white shops with his tale Of woe. The
average big Negro will not even sup.
port a colored newspaper, but will get
all the white newspapers he can on
credit. The churches. too, suffer
from these vultures who prey upon
the good graces of the Christian ele-
ment and yield no returns whatever.
Down with this class Of cattle, who
are proving an impeachment in the
path Of progress.
We indorse the above from personal
knowledge with three big Negroes
who hold positions, where they re-
ceive big salaries. One Of these Is In
the U. 8. government service, one in
the city and the other In the county.
They even 60 so far as to lie about
paying a small account and becomes
angry II they have to pay.-The ILL
MOS Idea. ....
This blow should reach the solar
plexus Of some of our local cyclists.
They are only human parasites, and
offer no encouragement to another's
enterprise, and always predict its fail
ure. They forget their originality,
and their present positions have been
reached so quickly that they are una
ware Of the conditions which con-
front others. And we are tn recog-
nize Single Copy Buyers as our sup
porters. Such detrusionists are every
where. They are our Little Negroes.

New Negro Political Movement
National Anti-Jlm Grow Car Law
Five Pledges for Candidates.

-Nat'onat Auts-Jsm SToW CaT Law
Five Pledges for Candidates.
(New York Sun, Aug. Z, 1900
Atlantic City, Aug. 6-Severe criti
clsms of the country in general and OF
the Republican and Democratic par
ties made here today at the conven-
tion of the National Independent Pol
itical League. The organization con-
sists Of Negroes and has branches in
% state, 20 Of which were represented
at the convention. In all there were
20 delegates. The most bitter denun
iation was that of the Brownsville af-
fair, which they lay at the door OF
Theodore Roosevelt The Republi-
cans. they say. have been absolutely
unjust to the Negro. His only hope
is an Independent political movement.
In the address to the country which
was issued by the convention there is
called to attention .'the fact that to-
day no civilized country ON earth can
parallel the United States in the
wholesale murder of innocent men, in
the social persecution of the weak, in
religious discrimination and proscrip
ton, and in the helplessness and inef-
'iciency of the judiciary" Texas has
outrun Kishineff; Jim Crow cars are
tndefensible and recent decisions of the
supreme court are repugnant to the
principles of justice and democracy,
so the address says. The closing para
graph, which is the platform of the
convention, follows: ....
The Platform.
1t Is time, therefore, for an indepen.
dent Negro movement in politics. We
should refuse alliance with either of
the two dominant parties at present
and confine our attention to men. We
should vote and vote only for con.
gressmen and other candidates for Of
flee who pledge themselves to advo.
cate the following measures:
l. The restoration of the dis.
charged Brownsville soldiers.
2. National legislation against
lynching and mob law.
8. The passage of national anti
Jim Crow law.
4. National aid to education, with
the same opportunities to all children
5. The enforcement of the consti
tuition so as to stop disfrant hisement
and peonage.
The convention began on August 4
and ended today. Among the dele
gates were the Rev. Alexander Wal

pal church of New York, president;

Carr!nQion skipped.

Z. A. Darlington, the much
married man, who was being
tried before the Recorders court
on two charges of retailing,
skipped town Saturday and left
no word as to where he was go
ing.
The many cases of Darlington
and his wives have attracted
much attention and great inter-
est was shown in the outcome OF
trial. The case grows out Of in
formation given to the officers
by Frank Hudson on account OF
a former case in which Mrs. Car
rington was the complainant
against Hudson. A large amount
of whiskey was found in the
Darlington home and the evi-
dence against Darlington was
damaging.
His bond was fixed at 500 dol.
lars. Taking advantage Of a re.
cess Of court, Darlington hied
himself away, and has not beer
heard from since.

By. r. U. Convention.

The state convention OF the
Baptist Young Peoples Union
met in Durham from Tuesday 70
Thursday this week. Delegates
from Baptist churches through
out the state, numbering about
70 were present.
The speakers for the conven-
ton included some Of the most
powerful preachers in the state
and specialists in the young peo.
pies work. Among the speakers
were Mr.. Arthur Flake, a secre.
tary OF the Southern Baptist
Board, Rev. H. c. Moore. Rev.
b. w. Spillman, Prof. E. L. Mid,
dleton, and other well known
speakers.
The calling of the convention
was the result Of a resolution
passed at the last Baptist state
convention, which provided that
a committee be appointed for this
purpose. An organization was
made and resolutions passed te
make the state convention an an
nual affair.
The delegates were guests Of
the members Of the Second Bap'
tist church, at which place the
meeting was held, and friends
| in the city.

POWER COMPANY GETS FRANCHISE.
Board Of Aldermen Readily Grants Per.
mil for Lines.

The Board of Aldermen met in
regular session Monday night and
granted q franchise to the South
ern Power Co., to extend its
lines through Durham for the
next sixty years.
There was not an opposing
vote to the franchise and the
Aldermen considered themselves
fortunate to be allowed to offer
the big company the right to ex-
tend their lines to Durham. This
extension means cheaper electric
power for running the mills and
factories of the city as we'll as
cheaper lights.
Mr.. w. S. Lee, Of the engi-
neering department of the COM
pany, was present at the meet
ing and thanked the Aldermen
for their hearty cooperation with
the company. In an interview
Mr.. Lee said that the lines should
reach Durham in about eight
months. In addition to the water
power he thought that it would
be necessary to build a steam
plant of about 10, 900 horse power
to be used in emergencies. This
would insure regular service un-
der all conditions.
The coming Of the big power
company means much to Durham
and to the towns on the line.
The lines have reached Green's
boro and will run from there
direct to Durham. Aside from
the power to be used by factories
there are the possibilities of car
lines with cheap current which
might be extended along the
route.
