The Colored Musical Association OF
Atlanta held it's second Festival, Au-
gust Sth and 9th. Tuesday evening,
August Sth, Gaurs "Holy City was
rendered. An audience OF ABOUT |
two thousand was present. Consider |
ing the nature or the composition,
from every standpoint the entertain
ment was a credit. The Holy City is
not very popular nor overly timeful,
in fact, it is to considerable degree,
uninteresting to the large majority OF
the people, such as would naturally
attend the festival But on the whole
it was rendered in such manner as
to reflect much credit to the assocla-
ton. The soloists, Mrs. Anita Pattl
Brown, soprano, Miss Evans, contral-
to. Frank B. Badger, tenor, and w.
Granville Hurley, bass, did good work.
The finest piece of individual work
was the singing of "These are They"
nv Mrs Brown, which completely cap
tivated the audience. Miss Evans,
who on the shortest kind Of notice,
took the contralto part instead Oh
Miss Lula We're Childers, who was in
disposed, deserves great thanks Tor
she did it finely and highly pleased the
audience with her splendid voice.

partment of Howard University, oil

until nine and ten o'clock to get the
hay in the wagon and the horse
hitched up, then they must joy ride
until twelve, one, two, three and four
o'clock. The parents suffer it to be
so, and they are responsible. A rea-
sonable hour should be set for these
young people to return to the point
where the party started from, and
then from that point make their way
home before the midnight hour ar
rives. Another practice that is be-
ing allowed to be carried too far by
the young people is the habit of dan
cling all night. We do not condemn
dancing, neither can we be made to
see that it benefits anybody; but we
do condemn the practice of dancing
all night long. 1t is foolish thing,
to say the least, and it corrupts good
morals without doubt 1t destroys
the health and in every way units
those people who indulge in it for
manhood and womanhood. If the par
ents allow these practices to contin-
ue they may expect to reap what they
sowing.

Man Can Appoint Only.

We want to see Editor d. A.
Hart of the clean-cut and pro-
gressive Nashville Globe at Lit
tie Rock. We know he has some
good ideas to present to the
Press Association.-Flor Sen
tinel.
We fully intended to be present at
the meeting of the National Negro
Press Association in Little Rock, but
when the session convened, we found
ourself at home, owing to circum-
stances over which we had no control.
Consequently, if we had an idea that
would have been worth anything to
the members of the Association we
will have to give it to them otherwise
than in the annual meeting.
We appreciate very much the high
compliment paid us by the president
of the Association, but we do not feel
that we could have advanced any
special idea that would have set the
woods on fire, had we been at the Lit
tie Rock meeting. We were anxious
to be present because we believe we
would have been benefited by coming
in personal contact with the Negro
newspaper men of the country. We
cannot see that our absence will ma
terially lessen the good that will be
accomplished. We believe that this
meeting will take some steps towards
effecting the organization that was
begun in Louisville. We have ex
pressed our views from time to time
regarding this matter. There is
great field for the Negro press. W.
do not mean by this there is a min
of money to be made, but that there i
great service to be rendered AM
this service can only be rendered sue
cessfully through permanent organ
ization. Such an organization mus
be conducted in a businesslike wa!
We believe matters will take shap
in this direction at the Little Roc
Y meeting, and we shall expect gres
y things from their operation.

cal hastings during the recent
prohibition campaign received
small thanks from Sir Thomas
Ball, the reigning prince in the
realm of cold water. AS soon as
all doubt as to the success or
failure of prohibition was settled,
the chieftain Immediately pro-
ceeded to lay large share of the
blame at the door of the man
and brother" declaring that 80
per cent. of the Negroes voted the
anti ticket, and of this number
there were several school teach
ers and preachers.
The Express evidently has been
reading Tennessee papers and is well
versed on conditions in this state; If
such be true the fact is known that
the Negroes in Tennessee can say
amen to what the Express has said

vince the world that they are in real
ity sincere, for they are too Otter
guilty of the charge as stated above

Too Loose Rein.

Several incidents have happened re-
Gently that should cause parents OF
this city to begin to put check on
their children and to regulate their
habits Young people are given to
a desire for pleasure. 1t is natural
for them, in fact, the time never
comes in life that any one loses
their desire for pleasure. When we
use this term we do so in the broader
sense of the word Of course, what
grown people call pleasure young
people do not, and what young men
and young ladies get pleasure out Of,
children would not turn on their heels
to notice Nature has so constructed
mankind that he is satisfied with one
thing in childhood, with another in
youthhood, and still another in man
hood. The Bible writer, Paul OF
Tarsus, said when he was a child he
thought as a child and spoke as a
child, but when he became a man he
put away childish things. This is as
true of men to-day as it was in Paul's
time But it is the duty of parents tC
continuously shape the minds of theil
children toward the development Of
a strong character To do this there
are some things the child would like
to indulge in that their parents mus
object to, and not only while they are
children, but after they are grow
men and women; for so long as the!
are under the roof of mother and ia
theirs house they are their guardians

thing to hear of hay-ride parties, ant
invariably it takes the young peopl

Registration.

The reglStratlon poolns "elo
thrown open last Monday morning
and will be kept open until Thursday
of next week. There are only five
more days left. Those who do not
register in that time will be left out.
The Negro voters are not qualifying
as rapidly as they should. If all wait
until the last day somebody will be
shut out; so it will be wise to go now
and attend to this all-important mat
ter. Every man should register.
We have made this statement time
and again and we wish we could re-
peat it until every man OF voting age
would be convinced of his duty in this
respect. One evening in this week
young man was heard to remark, on
being approached on this subject, that
he took no part in such things. There
are scores of young Negro men who
feel that same way. They are not
to be censured for their opinion, but
it is the duty of those men who real
ize the mistake they are making to
go to them in a brotherly way and
endeavor to persuade them to change
their opinion Any man who is in,
terested in the welfare of his home
can be convinced that he should eX
ercise those rights that are guaran
teed to every citizen if he would pro
tect that home. Scores of these youns
men who feel that voting does no
concern them one way or the othet
are heads of families, and if properl.
approached can be shown that the,
too owe their family that same pre-
lection that other men owe theirs.
The argument is often advance
that Negroes are not allowed to vot
in the Primary; all we'll and good, bu
while that is true, the primary is nc
IU6 regular 6lSCIlOll' hS PuA " ~
mary is to select men of that part
to run in the regular election, but III
less the Negroes register they wi
not be in a position to have any sa
in the regular election. The me
who are elected in the primary wi
have to be voted for in the reguli
election, therefore, if the Negro'
would help their friends they must
prepared to do so in the regular ele
ton.
We repeat again, every intellige
man should register, and the he shou
also pay his own poll tax and there
be an independent voter. The nj
who registers and allows some o
else to pay his poll tax is not a
subject to exercise the franchise a
cannot be depended on to do t
things that go to the uplift of all
people. In reality, he is not G.
zen, for no citizen will be bought
chattel We call attention to Il
matter finally, Chewing as we do
is very necessary that the Negro
prepare themselves to vote in
coming elections.

THE ATLANTA MUSICAL

ers, Messrs. Olden, Badger, Smith and
Hurley. The chorus sang by the
Water of Babylon" by Coleridge-
Taylor, and "Sanctus" by Gounod,
Mr.. Olden taking the solo.
The comments of the Atlanta pa
pers were very interesting and graft
flying. Really Wonderful Music
Heard at Negro Festival" was the
heading the Georgian used. 1t
stated, There were several soloists
on the program whose voices are OF
unusual quality and who betrayed
training apparently as complete and
certainly as productive OF results as
many of the leading opera singers can
boast. The concerts were 1ndlca-
lions of what education and technical
preparation can produce from the
naturally excellent vocal organs OF
the Negro"
OF the Fisk Quartet it stated that
it was easily the most popular feature
of the Festival, and repeated calls
forced them to sing again and again
The leading tenor, ]. w. Work, Is
really remarkable in his range and III
the sweetness and fexibility of his
voice, and the others of the quartet
are thorough masters of harmonious
accompaniment. Works solo part IL

compartment of his fellows, was really
: wonderful in it's sweetness,

The Reclamation Train.

The Illinois Central reclamation train
will reach Grenada some time this
month and will spend about three hours
here.
The two lecturers with the train will
deliver talks at the court house and
give stereopticon exhibits illustrating
various points in their addresses. 1t is
their purpose to encourage the drain
age of low lands and to show what has
been done in other parts of the United
States.
The National Irrigation congress,
which convenes this year at Chicago,
will devote itself almost exclusively to
reclamation rather than ''irriga-
tion. The question of drainage is
very important one for this state.
The Sentinel bespeaks for these gen.
tlemen, when they reach Grenada, a
good audience and an interested hear
ing. 1t is to be hoped that all the
farmers who can will come.
