MONEY MAKES THE MARE GO.

CIV. Napier. n member Of the
b firm of C. r. Patterson & Sons, Ne
gro carriage builders, at Greenfield,
/. O.. writes, under date Of the 10th
. inst;
In, YOUR last weeks Issue | no
ticed reference made by DR.. Lyons
with regard to determinations
against us in the United States Navy.
This struck me very forcibly. as
was Just reading the BLACK PhA-
lanx" by J II. Wilson who writes or
the Negro's service in the wars OF
the Revolution, of 1912 and of the
Rebellion.
1.-The war Of 1912 was principally
q naval one and l find at that time
when it was difficult to obtain en-
1istments there was one Negro sail
or to every six or eight whites. The
attack on the chesapeake" was for
the seizure of four sailors, three OF
Z whom were Negroes.
---~--"f find they messed together then
without any objection and when hot
balls and chain shot were flying
there was no segregation in actual
fighting.
II must make allowance for local
coloring, but Wilson gives the docu-
ments which are undisputable evil
dences and is always free to use d.
rect references.
Il certainly wish some of our pro-
fessional men would get down to re-
search work, dig out. the facts and
give us reliable books of the real
service We have done in this coun-
try. That is in their line OF work
they have the time and access to
original sources. Our business men
can not do it in this fierce competi-
ton when single look backward
may throw them in a hidden ditch
ahead. $50 "a @RsERF
What do you say What DO YOU
think? | would like to have Sour
opinion?"
The Advocate is much of Mr..
Napper's opinion. There is much
need of full, unbiased recital of
the Negroes contribution to the his
tory Of this country. He is not lack
ing in men fully qualified to do the
work. but the dearth is of means.
What Mr.. Napier proposes is not a
labor of days nor Of months. but of
years. Original documents must be
examined, the files of old newspa-
pers must be read, trips must be
made to the places where reliable
information may be had, and, last
ly, funds must be secured for the
publication Of the work. Who is
there to supply the means for this
research and compilation? None OF
the men Of letters, whose names oc-
cur ito us at this time, can carry ON
such a stupendous work alone. Our
business and professional men have
not yet reached that state Of ef1u-
ence where they can finance such an
undertaking, and the reading DOR
ton Of the race has not been edu.
Gated to the point where it will nav
the price that such awork would
Justly demand.
In the circumstances, it seems
that we must content ourselves fol
the time, at least, with the bro.
chures which are being published
from time to time on men and event,
looming large in the races history
IN this country. Until there is som,
assurance that the Negro public will
purchase or its moneyed men guar

Big Show Had Good Day Here.

The big Observation-Disclosures circus
showed to an enormous crowd in this
city last Thursday in spite of the
heavy rains here Wednesday night
and Thursday morning.
No parade was held because of a
delay in getting the shows unloaded,
which was disappointment not only
to the large crowd which had con-
gregated upon the streets, but to the
circus people as well, they having
planned for the parade, even paying
the city license for the privilege.
In the afternoon at the grounds the
audience gathered quickly and at
2:3O when the performance was COM
menced the big tent was filled almost
to its capacity. A good, clean show
was presented, the greater portion of
the acts being entirely new, and Ha-
genbeck's big menagerie was fully up
to the standard advertised.

Adrian on Monday enroute for a trip
east. On Thursday Postmaster Par
IRISH received a package from St

tanned no money. Nothing had been

were notified. Mr.. Burress later
notified his family that he was all
right and that he had dropped his
pocketbook out of his pocket, the
finder probably getting his home adj
dress from the railroad ticket which
was purchased in Adrian.
