A PROPER TRIBUTE

When the colored Grand Army
veterans from Louisiana and Miss
issippi who are in attendance at
the National Encampment in Ro
chester visited the grave of Fred
erick Douglass and placed upon 1t
flowers brought from the South,
they paid graceful and meriited
tribute to one of the most distin-
ouished members of their race,
and to a man richly deserving the
honor. Frederick Douglass was
remarkable personality, and the
story of his life is a splendid testl-
monial to the possibility of great
achievements by those of African
blood. Born of a slave mother
and himself slave in infancy and
vouth, he developed a love for edu-
cation, learned to read and write un-
der the most discouraging condl-
tions, escaped from bondage and
worked at the severest toll and In
the humblest capacities while ac-

cumulating means for gaining fur
ther knowledge. While still a
young man he displayed extraor-
dinary ability as a speaker, and
his oratory won him recognition
that served different ends.
For one thing, this former slave
by his fiery eloquence was po-
tent force in arousing the heart
and conscience of the American
people to the inquity of human
chattlehood, and he must be cred
tied with great influence in bring
ing about the downfall of slavery.
1t is well for the colored race to
look to such examples as Frederick
Douglass, whose type is seen in
these later days in such leaders as
Booker Washington. Douglass
and Washington stands as exam
ples of what the colored man can
do for himself and for those of his
own race, and it is well to keep
these examples clear before the
ewes of all who may be inspired to
emulate their virtues. s.-Troy New
York; Times.

Their mother died when they we're

grandparents of the twins came

Sallie is absolutely white. She
is not green nor yet blue. Neither
is there the slightest indication of
her Ethiopian parentage in her
hair. Her lips are full, but not
the thick. supersensual, sagging
sagging lips of the Negro. As a
matter of fact, there are scores OF
Caucasians to be seen every day
in Chestnut street whose are heav-
ier and thicker. Her eyes are as
blue as corn flowers, and so fair
and delicate is her skin that the
blue veins beneath can be traced
along their forked way for inches.
Her nails are pink and delicately
shaped. Her little nose is going
to be aquiline and daintily mod
eled.
1t is of no advantage to describe
Marie. Marie is the typical pick
aninny-just as cunning, just as
clean and equally bright as her
white sister. To make the dis
tinction all the more vivid, Marie s
chubby little legs are SO bowed that
she would easily represent the let

pairing to have the children reared

has brunette, inclinations, the

that it will turn blonde.

indianapolis, Aug. 3lst.-Rev.
T. A. Smyth, pastor of Bethel A.

of their color; obtained warrants
for the arrest of both the proprie-

STRANGE FREAK
OF NATURE
Black White Twins Born OF
Negro Parents

Philadelphia. Pa, Sept. 5.-The
medical fraternity is deeply inter
ested in twins who are children OF
Negro Parents. Marie Boner,
aged five months and few days,
is as black as her heart Of Africa
ancestors were. On the other
hand. Sallie Boner, likewise aged
five month and a few days, and a
twin sister to Marie, is much whit
er than the average Caucasian
baby.
Doctors say that it is nothing
more or less than the unusual bnt
we'll authenticated atavism or
manifestation of racial strain that
has been submerged for genera
tions, and finally crops out unex-
pectedly. The case of Marie and
Sallie is all the more unusual be-
cause of their being twins-one
black and the other white. The
doctors declare that they have
records of cases where a single
baby has betrayed the submerged
strain of another race, bnt that
atavism has seldom manifested it.
self in this manner. Atavism is
not peculiar to any race. The
same freak of nature might deve!-
op in the offspring of white per-
sons.
Marie and Sallie are at this mo-
ment snuggled side by side in a
cot in the day camp of the Chest
nut street recreation pier and are
oblivious absolutely of the rudely
curious visitors who find them a
source of wonderment. Both are
as healthy as children can be, and
their chief recreation lies in chas-
ing each other-like two cubs
around their trundle cot, and
eventually falling into terrific
struggle for supremacy. Maybe
race supremacy is the crux of
their baby antagonism, and may
be it's merely the joy of being on
the top of the windswept pier
away from the sordidness and fet-
idness of the streets and alleys.
There are many wonderful con-
lectures about Marie and Sallie.

be for all of us. Where a farmer
owns nothing but one mule and
one plow he cannot produce much.
If that farmer could save a little
from year to year and buy better
implements and better fertilizers
we would all feel the effects of his
increased crops. 1t ought to be a
fixed policy of us, who are in au-
thority, to encourage the black
farmer in every way. Our colored
farmers are, as a rule, good people;
they are law abiding, peacable and
temperate. There are some petty
thieves among them, we must ad-
nit. and their moral relations with
each other not always commend
able. but when all this has been
said there are few places in the
world where life and property are
safer than in the Black Belt; and
this is especially true in those Sec
tions where many of them own
their own farms. 1t gives man
self respect and a feeling OF re-
sponsibility to own property and
have to take care of it. We are
glad to see some good institutions
started among the Negro farmers.
Ore of the best of these is the
Farmers Union, that is establish
ing local unions in every county.
These unions meet one or two
times every year and discuss meth
ods of improving rural conditions.
They always welcome white visi-
tors and are glad to get advice
and encouragement from them.
There are among the Negroes
some of the most earnest and tire
less workers for the good of their
race to be found anywhere. We
ought to know these leaders.
They are outspoken and uncom-
promising in their opposition to
the soloon and to the loose living
SO common among their people.
A few have caught a vision OF bet
ter morals and higher standards
of life and they are diligently
preaching their doctrines in the
highways and hedges. Let us help
them on. TIE general level OF
any country will rise with the rise
of the Negro.
A few years ago while travelling
through Sumter county L met a
young physician in the Black

he gave voice to a sentiment so no.

The carpenters labor union of

The difficulty, on the agreement of
both the builders and the labor

vor of the labor union for the most

When we were children they
used to tell us story about a man
who owned goose that laid one
golden egg every day; but the man
was an avaricious man and wanted
to get great many golden eggs
at once, and so killed his goose
with very disappointing results.
This ancient legend has many
applications. Our world is made
up of two classes of people those
who are content to get rich slowly,
increasing their wealth along with
the general prosperity OF the coun-
try. and those who must get rich
right away, even though they must
DESTROY some other means OF pro-
duction in the process.
These two classes show them
selves very quickly when they come
to deal with ignorant Negroes, and
pre.eminately with country Ne
groes. The Negro of the farm is
usually very supplemented per-
son, easily imposed on, and 1t is a
true test of a mans honesty when
he deals with one of them. IN
fortunately the poor Negro is often
very slow to learn who his friends
and who his vampires. There are
plenty of honest merchants IN ev-
erv county, but the Negro often
falls into and stays in the hands
of the other kind. There are
some people who do not believe
that any Negro has right to get
rich, and are actually indignant
when a colored man gets to the
nlace where he can afford to live
like prosperous white men,
Among this class there seems to
be a sort of fear tnat Negro pros
perity means white poverty; that
if the Negroes are allowed TO ac-
cumulate property they will soon
rule the country, and SO use every
effort to keep him from saving
anything. There are land owners
who refuse to sell him land. Mon
ev lenders overcharge him, and
merchants who encourage him TO
buy on credit in order to keep him
continually in debt.
Now, the man who tries to keep
the Negro farmer in poverty Is OF
tbe same class as the man in the
fable who killed the goose. The
The two races are going to get
rich or remain poor together. Ne
groes prosperity means prosperity
all around. At least onesixth OF
wealth of this country, and much
larger proportion in the State at
large, is the creation OF Negro
farmers, and the more these Negro
farmers raise the more there Will
