President Taft on HAMPTON.

In an address before the trustees
OF Hampton Institute, at meeting
held at the home of Mrs. r. Jefferson
Coolidge at Manchester, Mass, Tues
day, President Taft said in part:
Il always come in with a living pro
test of indignation that an institution
SO useful, forming as it does the basis
Of our industrial schools, and suggest
ing a remedy for the Negro problem,
should still be on basis necessitating
the begging by such men as you see
before me for money enough to run it
from year to year. We have lots of
millionaires in this country, and why
cannot the contributions be sufficiently
large to put such an institution as
Hampton on basis that shall be self
supporting?
Northern generosity and donation
with reference to Southern education
and the education of the Negro, have.
OF course, their fruits, and don't want
in any way to diminish the desire of
those who wish to give But those OF
us who study the question at all know
that the hope of the Negro is in his
white neighbor in the South z

The Mystery Solved

For several weeks the city has been
IN the throes of excitement over a we'd
olng ceremony that it was rumOred
would take place at st. James church.
Much mystery surrounded the affair,
and many grOundless stories were cir
culated. The excitement raised and
the mystery surrounding the affair sue
'ceeded in packing the church to over
foWing with everybody on the tip toe
of expectancy Finally the wedding
march were waited on the air from
Pr0t. JOhnsOn's augmented orchestra.
The party comprised Mr.. John Jenkins
and Mrs. Minnie Allen apparently as
bride and groom Rev Joseph Strong
as best man, Messrs. Walker Williams.
March Salters and j. McMurrav as
groomsmen; Mesdames "Deary" Will
liams, Jerlena White, Samuel Hatcher
and w. NJ. Cannon as bridesmaids. On
reachlng the altar Mr.. and Mrs. o. c.
Hall appeared. Mrs. Minnie Allen
threw the floral cape she wore upon
the shoulders of Mrs. Hall and she and
her husband took their places before
Pastor H P Jones. who pronounced
the ceremony for the purpose of cele-
oratlng the tenth anniversary of their
wedding. 1t was terrible disappoint-
ment to many of the .wiseacres pres
ent, but all took the matter in good
spirits, and one of the most joyous
ana hllerious times ever had in the
church followed, as did the serving of
the refreshments. The church was
very handsomely and elaborately dec
Grated by NIB G. Archer and Mrs.
Samuel Hatcher for the occasion. The
choir sang several selections and Miss
Gladys Wright sang solo. AS a free
will silver offering was taken at the
door very handsome sum was raised,
which will be applied to the payment
OF the piano for the Sabbath School, of
which Mr.. O. G. Hall is superintendent,
and who was the originator OF the
scheme that produced the coin and the
very enjoyable mysterious surprise.

which had been discoursing sweet mu-
sic during the evening, struck up a
march and the hostess, accompanied
by Mr.. Lloyd Hickman led the grand

MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE.
PATCH."
The Next Attraction at the Grand
Opera House.

No play that has been presented in
many seasons has made a more pow
erful appeal to the sympathies of the
audience, and certainly none has prov
en- more popular than Mrs. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch" which comes to
the Grand Fair Week, starting Sunday
matinee, Sept. and including a spec
ial matinee Labor Day.
The laughter and applause with
which this piece has been greeted in
every city visited this season seems to
be contagious. The The dear old
KENTUCKY drama never went better
than in this it's fifth season, the unc-
tious drollery Of the players giving
three hours of unceasing and persist
ent happiness. AS an entertainer.
Mrs. Wigs has no peer in her class.
Of all women, she is the dearest and
funniest, the ideal philosopher and
friend, at once a broad beam of sun
shine mid lowly surroundings and a
benediction among all her associates
It is play which makes a universal
appeal, fits every taste and every To-
cality.

n visitor to this city gives the
following account of town in Ala
bama:
"Cullman does not allow Negro
within her corporate limits. The
town was originally settled by lot
of German immigrants from Europe
and Pennsylvania shortly after the
civil war, and after about ten years
experience with a large number OF
Negroes who lived in the town and
surrounding country, the people de-
cided they would have to get along
without the brother in black So
they notified all the Negroes to get
out and stay away for good.
This policy has cost the town
heavily, however, because all the sur
rounding Negroe trade now goes to
other towns, and thousands OF dol
lars are annually lost to the Cullman
merchants.
Cullman affords fine illustration
Of what fools people can make of
themselves. The town is of course
surrounded by a dense population
of Afro-American farmers and the
town trade is Just about nothing.

At the barbecue whole OK, number
