ADVOCATES RACE FUSION.

Mr.. G. G. Hucaby of Baton Rouge
La, has just returned to America after
three years at Oxford. Mr.. Hacaby is
a Rhodes scholar and has been max
ing study Of authropology during his
stay in England.
He intends to give his entire atten.
ton hereafter to the race question in
the South, and for the purpose of car
rying on his Investigations in this
country in a thoroughly scientific
manner he will apply to the Carnegie
Institute for assistance. Mr.. Hucaby's s
endeavor will be the first organized
attempt to give to the world the re-
suits of the fusion of the white and
black people of the South.
This subject has been a very deli
cate one with the people south of Ma
son and Dixon's line, who have bitterly
opposed any fusion of the races since
the Civil war, despite the fact that it
was common in slavery days
Mr.. Hucaby is a typical Southerner
in appearance, tall and lanky with
black hair and delicate, thin, pale
features. Having had the broadening
effects of study and travel to help him
in his opinions on this subject. he
believes that the fusion of the white
and the black people of the South
would not be as undesirable as many
of his fellow Southerners declare.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE,

The National Negro Business
League will hold it's Twelfth Annual
Meeting at Little Rock Arkansas,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
August 18th, 18th and 18th, 1911.
Those intending to be present should
notify w. M. Alexander, Chairman
Committee on Homes, 5041a w. 9th
Street, Little Rock, as early as pos.
sible
Governor George w. Donaghey, of
Arkansas, is manifesting great inter-
est in this coming meeting, and has
assured the Local League of his en-
tire willingness to do everything pos
sible toward making the meeting a
success. Governor Donagley, the
Little Rock Chamber of Commerce,
and the most important white citizens
of Little Rock joined with the Local
League of Little Rock in inviting the
National Organization to Little Rock.
The annual meetings of the National
Negro Business League are yearly in
creasing in value and helpfulness to
the race. They bring progressive
cOlored men and women together
from every section of the country,
and afford chance to become ac-
quainted and exchange ideas with
each other
Hon J. E. Bush, member of the
Executive Committee of the National
organization, is the leading spirit in
all of the activities now being made
for the coming meeting, and is especi-
ally anxious to have Northern mem
bers of the League present in large
numbers. 1t is no further from New
York to Little Rock than it is from
Little Rock to New York, and Ar
kansas has always been largely re-
presented at every meeting of the
National Organization" Mr.. Bush
assures the Northern members that
the progress which the co1ored people
of Arkansas have made will fully
warrant their coming South in large
numbers.
The railroads have already con-
sented to make an attractive rate for
this coming meeting, and delegates
are especially urged to give attention
to the matter Of arranging for Pull
man or tourist car parties.

Taft Helps CoIored Republic.

ia1t 7eIpS Colored Republic.
Reed Paige Clark of Vermont has
been selected by the President to be
appointed by the government of
Liberia as general receiver of customs
of that republic
Mr.. Clark has been working for sew
eral months in the Treasury Depart
ment and at custom houses familiar
izing himself with the details of Gus
tom administration, and will start for
his post within the next few months.
The amount of the loan to Liberia
is about 100000, the capital being
supplied by international agreement
by American, British, French and
German bankers. In addition to the
American receiver general, there will
be customs receivers of the four
nationalities, selected by their own
governments.
The State Department feels that in
lending it's assistance to the consum-
nation of this loan an old excuse for
the occupation of Liberian territory
which might have been permanent,
was taken from the hands of covetous
colonial officials and the little republic
given chance to preserve it's Ameri-
can heritage of freedom and independ.
ence.

FRIENDLIER RELATIONS.

The custodians of the $1O,oOo,OOO
Carnegie Peace Foundation announc-
ed today a campaign of popular edu-
cation to establish friendlier relations
between the United States and Japan
The division of intercourse and educa-
ton has arranged an exchange, "to
give to each people better knowledge
of the other, and to help build up a
public opinion in both countries that
will resist all attempts to arouse an
tagonism."
If the Japanese find this plan neces-
sary to establish friendly relations be-
tween the brown man and the white
man it would undoubtedly be an ex-
cellent scheme for the ro-American
colleges in this country to exchange
professors.
1t would be of great benefit to the
students of Vanderbilt University
Nashville, Tenn, to have few lec-
lures by Prof Kelly Miller of Howard
Prof. Pickens Of Talladega could
furnish new ideas to students at Wash
ington and Lee University. The white
professors could lecture in the Afro.
American colleges and in this way
friendly relations would be encourag.

According to latest advices from
Haiti, President Simon, his family and
some of his followers, have quit the
country.
There is considerable foreign capital
invested in Haiti, the principal inter-
ests being those of the United States
and Germany. Great Britain and
France also have material interests
which are affected by the existing
political crisis. Full protection to
these interests is assured by the pres
ence of five American warships and
the expected arrival within the next
few days of the British cruiser Mel
pomene from Kingston, the German
cruiser Bremen from Norfolk and the
French cruiser D'Estrees from Cape
Breton.
A year ago the Haitian government
contracted with an American syndi-
cate to build railroad from the in
terror to four of the seaports The
syndicate was granted a strip of land
twelve miles wide on each side of the
line, amounting to 1850 acres for
each mile of road This was consid-
cred liberal grant, and is one of
the principal interests that the United
States Navy will undertake to protect
during the existing crisis.

Postal Employees Get Increased Pay
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
issued orders for the payment of
about $1,200,000 for the promotion of
post office clerks during the current
fiscal year and of about 100000 for
the promotion of city letter carriers.
Thus the four great groups of postal

way mail clerks, city letter carriers,
and rural letter carriers will receive
during the fiscal year beginning July
l, advances in pay aggregating more
than $6,O0O,O00, which is unprece-
dented. Mr.. Hitchcock favors liberal
compensation for postal employees, be-
lieving that it means increased effici-
