DuTnduly y. -, NV ~
The funeral services over the re
mains of Rev. DR.. Augustus Shepard,
who died Saturday afternoon, were
held Monday afternoon, beginning
at 2:3o, and when the last word OF
eulopy had been said, darkness came
upon the earth. The body was buried

an exceedingly impressive ceremony.
The body was moved Monday to
White Rock, and lay in state four
hours and half. During that time It
was viewed by hundred and hundreds
When the services began, the church
was crowded to the opposite side OF
the street and such a procession OF
vehicles was not seen half a dozen
times since Durham became a town,
1t extended from Pettigrew street far
above St. JOseph's Church, both
sides being crowded.
The floral display was wonderful,
It was amazingly large, the designs
costly and handsome. and they came
in gorgeous punches from white
friends as we'll as colored. The entire
front of the pulpit and altar showed a
great bank of flowers, and near the
rOstrum sat a good number Of white
friends.
The conductor on the I:I5 train
from Raleigh. stopped the cars at
Fayetteville street and allowed the
passengers from Raleigh and else
where to get off at a convenient place
The trains paid tribute to an unusual
event
The services began promptly, and
the pail bearers marched into the
church by the solemn solo, Fleet as

NEED FOR NURSES

DR.. WAKEFIELD OFFERS AID

Freedman's Hospital, the Only Place

NJ Edifor of me Be.

The Editor Of The Bee.
In the last weeks issue OF The Bee,
under the caption, "COlOred Nurses q
is an aDDeal to the Commissioners OF
the District of Columbia, seeking the
establishment OF a children's hospital
and the emplovment of cOlOred nurses.
The accomplishment OF such a pro-
iect would be the greatest means OF
reducing infant mortality, which The
Bee correctly states as being ,appal-
ling among the cOlOTed people.
knowing that babies are not ad-
mitted into the Children's Hospital on
w street under the age of eighteen
months, I set aside a ward in the
Freedman's Hospital last summer tor
the exclusive use in the care and treat
ment of this class of cases, and l
think the Freedmen Hospital is the
only one in this city that opens its
doors to them, and many babies have
received the benefits afforded thereby.
Your attention is called to this be-
cause it appears from the latter part
of the article referred to, that you
were unaware Of the existence Of such
4 ward in the Freedmen's Hospital.
OF course, a greater number OF chill
dren could be treated in a hospital
devoted exclusively to them, than III
a ward of a general hospital, and It IS
to be hoped that the Commissioners
will recommend to Congress the con
struction of such an institution as The
Bee suggests.
We have in this city Society
known as the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, composed of graduate
white nurses. They visit the homes
of the mothers and babies after they
leave the hospital for at least year
giving much help and advice to the
mother in the care of her baby Ii
seems to me that some of our cOloreC
graduates should belong to this So
ciety.
Very respectfully,

THE TUSKEGEE NEGRO CON
FERENCE.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Jan.
II and I8, 1912, the twenty-hrst an
nual session of the Tuskegee Negro
Conference will convene at Tuskegee
Institute.
Wednesday, the first day, will be
devoted TO a mass meeting of the
Negro people. Thursday, the second
day, the annual Workers Conference
will be held. In the call for this Con-
ference the statement is made that its
purpose is less to teach than to in
spire" The first day will be taken up
for the most part with informal re-
ports and personal experiences OF rep
resentative men among the farmer
and laboring classes from all over the
South.
The purpose of these reports is to
afford a broad view of actual cOndi-
tions and of what the people them
selves, either as individuals or through
their churches and schools, are doing
TO improve them. The second day
will be devoted to a conference O
the teachers and others who are en-
gagged in some definite form of worl
to improve the masses of the COloreC
people.
The purpose of the Workers Con
ference is to bring the work of tht
school, the churches and other insti
tutions into closer touch with tn
principal and everyday life of tn
people. The principal topic for dis
| cussion at the Workers ConferenC
will be: How may we Encourag
! the Practice of Saving among Ne
groes" This subject will be divide
into five sub-topics, affording oppor
tunity for full, free and helpful dis

= >EFENDS THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
La Toilette Not for the Negro.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 10.
Mr.. Editor
AS an Afro-American defender of
the Republican Party for the past
thirtv-twO years, closely observing
everything pertaining to the good and
bad concerning our "end of it, | feel
it my duty to give this bit OF advice
to those ColOred men who seem to
have strange visions concerning Re
publican Insurgency
To an experienced person 1t would
not take the knowledge of a philoso-
pher to tell any one that the Afro
American, north, south, east and west,
reached the highest stages of their
political importance through good old
fashioned republicanism, but it was as
soon as insurgency" began to show
itself into the ranks of the party of
freedom and humane liberty, that the
Kfro-American began to lose prestige
politically
From a cOlored mans point of view
and as a firm believer in the funda-
mental principals OF that party, | have
these few objections to offer; First.
Any Insurgency" in the ranks of the
party that does not consider the
grave injustices perpetrated against
the Afro-American, is of small con
sequence to him. Second: Mr.. Tai
by all fair means is entitled to hi:
second term. Third: 1t would be Re
publican political suicide with ven
genance to nominate any other per
son, assisting the Democrats IN tha
way does not seem possible.
Democratic success to the Afro
! American would mean the reduction
of his earning capacity, many million
of dollars annually. For those rea
sons I cannot, as a lover of my race
agree with any one in the candidac
of Mr.. LaFollette for president /
1912. Colored men cannot afford t
insurge nor try to "chastise' tn
party that did so much for our we
fare, to the contrary, we should hop
fight and urge upon white friends
b go back to the Fundamental prll
cipals of the party, and wipe out II
disgraceful things committed again
