now 10 discuss briefly the proposed
elimination primary in May aud the
suggested plurality instruction in the
July primary.
A Nav primary is impraciicable.
We could not hope. in the light OF
the experience OF the Bailey-Johnson
primary, that II would develop 30 per
cent of the Democratic vote. and such
a primary would be an inadequate
expression OF Democratic opinion.
The vote would be confined, In large
part, to towns and cities, because the
farmers will be busy in their fields
and viii refuse to 20 to the ballot
box in the absence OF exciting issues
and other political considerations
such as will be developed in the July
primary when all other candidates

and cities, and ! am unwilling TO see
candidate for United States sena-
tor chosen by any device that does

BASEBALL SEASON CLOSES SOON

Did you ever hear so much dope
about baseball in all of your life as
you have heard in the past few days?
Really it is amusing to see how en-
thused people can become over a lit

as big fool as the rest of them
when it comes to seeing and hearing
good baseball game or story and
the only thing that hurts me is to
think of this city not having first

the big white teams are the topics of
today but at that some of the big col

Much Progress Made Under Pastorats
Of Rev. Or. Holland Powell.
The Bethany Baptist church in
Brooklyn has recently renovated its

Among the new improvements are
stained glass windows, electric lights
and metal ceilings. Rev. DR.. Holland

the church for about four years, ts a
graduate Of Wayland seminary, now
Virginia Union university. He has
built up the membership of the church
substantially and also put 1t upon q

The cornerstone for the new base

Master Henry A. Spencer of the grand
lodge. Free and Accepted Masons. as
sisted by the following grand officers:
Deputy Grand Master william U.

ECHOES OF THE LOTT CAREY
MISSIONARY CONVENTION.
President Brown and Other oh6e;.l,
Render Encouraging Reports.
BY GEORGE +. KING.

Wilmington, N. C.-The fifteenth an.
nual meeting of the Lott Carey Baptist
foreign missionary convention, held In
this city. was the most successful in
every way Of any held in previous
years. There were over 800 delegates
In attendance and large number Of
prominent visitors from other success
full organizations Of the denomination.
One Of the pertinent features of the
convention was the discussion of plans
looking toward the enlarging of its
foreign work by cooperating with the
New England Baptist missionary con
vention.
President c. s. Brown in his annual
address covered every phase of the
work.
MY honest conviction" said he.
after much study is that Liberia
should be made the radiating point for
all the work attempted on the CONT
nent by the colored Baptists of Amer
ica. first, because our missionaries
there are making substantial headway
and securing standing and recognition.
| desire to urge the recommendation
made year ago that a competent
commission be sent over to Inspect the
field. confer with the missionaries as
to their work and to select and report
on suitable places for the founding Of
permanent central stations. l am In
favor of this convention uniting with
the New England Baptist missionary
convention"
Rev. DIR. w. NJ. Alexander. CORE
spending secretary. In concluding his
snnual report said:
"Lynching and burning colored men
charged with crime are not confined to
the southern states. In this section II
is on the decrease. and the press does
not report SO many heinous crimes
committed by colored men as an ex-
cuse for lynching as 1t did almost daily
In previous years.
The most shameful and degrading
press reports of lynching and burning
during this year occurred in the state
Of Pennsylvania"

THE PAST PRIZE FIGHTERS.

THE PAST PRIZE FIGHTERS.
Do the present-day ring artists
come up to the standing with those
that have passed away, such as Joe
Cans, Peter Jackson, George Dixon
and a great many others that a few
years ago were unbeatable. Well we
can say this much, that there never
was man in all the world that could
stand the gaff the same as old Peter
jackson, who was known the world
over, in his day, as the greatest trial
horse of them all. Little George
Dixon did more actual fighting than
any other man in the world, and Joe
Cans was considered to be the clev
crest man in the ring. In all of the
fights he showed nothing but clever
ness. And today we are in doubt
about men being as clever as those
that have passed away. Jack John
son, Joe Jeanette and Langford are
the best among the colored, while
Jim Flynn is the only white heavy,
and Ad Wolgast, Packy Mcfarland
and a few more are holding down the
and featherweight classes.

YESTERDAY, TO-DAY AND Tc
MORROW.

Life in the twenty-first century.
What will it be like? In 1911 we were
trave.ing in stage coaches and sailing
ships, nghting the great wars with
cdd-iuoK. .ng muzzie leaders and read
iLg by candle lights, and the most of
US, the Negroes, were bound down in
slavery. But today everything has
changed We are now fitting about
i'll alrships, express trains, ocean lin
ers, motor cars and today, in this
county, there is no more slavery. We
do our fighting with machine guns
and automatics when in time of war.
We can talk to one another thou
sand miles away and the world at
night seems one big mass of sunlight
which means plenty of electricity. In
another hundred years l wonder will
the present astonishing rate OF ma
terial progress be maintained, or
have we neared the limit of possible
achievement? Will human nature
change in accordance with the shift
of the conditions on will it remain
the same curious, perplexing, lovable,
fascinating thing? The worlds future
is what is worrying SO many people
today. Some people think that we are
going back, but if L see straight there
is nothing more beautiful than world
and it's people as it stands today And
SC far as the times going back, they
might be in some instances, such as
dress and a lot of other tomfoolery,
but otherwise there has never been
so much progress in the modern
world, and old worlds, of thousands
OF years ago, so far advanced as the
world is today, and in another cen
tury the black man will be on the
same equality with the white man,
SO lets prepare those that are just
horn to be in readiness for the great
cause. LEON EDWARD PRYOR.

Not saying that, they couldn't be

But you know that they were all from

Bert Williams, of course, leads the

clever big negro boxer, a salary of
$500 per month to take Morris in
charge for period of not less than
six months and Jeanette, it Is
thought. will accept the offer as this

BARGAIN WEEK
FOR BALL MEN
NO PURCHASES FROM MINOR
LEAGUESE BY MAJORS AFTER
AUGUST 2e-ALL ARE
HURRYING.

This is the week, and the last week
for this season at that. of bargains in
baseball players. To be more explic-
il. il is the last week that players may
be purchased from the minor leagues.
Hence it falls that it is the busiest
week of the year for magnates Of both
major and minor leagues. For the
bargaining works two ways. The mi
nor league magnates Wen say, has a
star he wishes to sell has held out for
a fancy price and still has the player
on his hands. He must get busy. If
he has not disposed of his player by
August 20 he may be drafted and NJ
the draft price, which Is certain to be
good bit lower than the valuation
at which he is held.
on the other hand the major league
club owners are just as anxious to
close bargains for the stars they have
In view, but they are hesitant between
paying an exhorbitant figure or taking
the chance of winning out in the draw.
Pttsburg has just concluded the pur-
chase of the biggest priced pair of
players recorded in baseball transfers.
Marty OToole and Bill Kelley, the
st Paul battery which sprung into
great prominence this season, at
price said to be some 100000. The
Chicago White SoX got Ping Budie,
their famous fence buster. for $1,000.
the waiver price. from San Francisco.
Previously Comiskcy had offered $4,000
for the player, but the San Francisco
management figured him worth with
another player for good measurs. SILL
900.
There will be some lively scurrylng
on the part of club owners i'm both
major and minor leagues. 1t is the
last week the former can buy or the
latter can sell. There should be a good
bit Of wholesome getting together on
their parts.

WHO OWNED THE COW?

A jury in the court of Justice David
Armit was called upon yesterday TO
decide the ownership of COW, the
case being one of unusual interest
and attracting much attention. a. NJ.
Pollaj of Boston was the plaintiff and
Olaf Paulson the defendant. 1t seems
that Pollaj recently purchased a COW
and shortly after he took it to his
home. it wandered away. He finally
located an animal he thought was
his. in the possession of Olaf Paulson.
The latter claimed ownership and
would not give the animal UP, as a
result of which Pollaj took action to
replcvin the COW After hearing the
evidence and examining the COW. the
jury returned verdict of no cause
for action.

Humboldt, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE local
enthusiasts learned today that Man
ager Emil Klank has taken out three
classes of insurance with Lloyds OF
London to safeguard Gotch and his in
terests i'm the big match.
The first policy is for $4,000, To
protect the champion in the event of
any accident. either i'm his training
quarters or during his trip To Chica
go, that might interfere with his APP
pearance in the ring. This policy ter
inmates the very moment Gotch crawls
through the ropes on Labor day The
second policy is for like sum- Ia
insure the presence OF Hack i'm the
ring, and terminates the moment the
two men begin wrestling
The third is for 100000. To insure
Gotch against loss in the motion pic
lures. This latter policy is more in
tricate than the others. because it
names more specifications. Should the
machines fail to operate, Gotch will be
reimbursed for the total amount If
they fail to record any portion OF the
match Gotch will be entitled TO 80
per cent of the face of the policy.
Should they fail To portray the falls
he would he entitled to the full face
of the policy.
