ASKS NEGROES TO SUP
PRESS THE GUN -TOTER

Through your paper wish 70 eau
the attention OF the men OF my own
race to the frightful loss OF life ana
serious wounding and manning OF
human beings that grows out OF the
habit of carrying concealed weapons.
No one can read the daily papers. CIV
ing account Of the crimes and acci'
dents growing out OF shootings during
the Christmas holidays, without beins
impressed with the fearful and useless
loss of life and limb resulting from
the habit of carrying concealed weap-
Ons.
During Christmas week rough
calculation shows that In Alabama
there were 28 persons killed and about
the same number Of persons seriously
or fatally wounded.
Taking for granted that an equal
number were killed and wounded IN
the remaining twelve southern states
and l think this is a conservative
estimate, we have total OF about 3oo
persons killed and an equal number
wounded during Christmas week.
or course realize that all OF this
shooting was not done by colored
people, but the majority OF the crimes
or accidents relate to the members OF
my own race.
My object in writing is to appeal to
the masses of our people through
ministers. teachers and other leaders
to give up once for all the habit OF
carrying concealed weapons. 1t Is
subject that should be taken up IN
the pulpit, in the Sunday school. In
the home and continually agttated un'
til every member of our race who
Is now in the habit Of carrying con-
cealed weapons will feel ashamed to
do so. During all the years that
have lived In Alabama have never
carried a concealed weapon, l have
never kept one in my house and have
never fe,.. the need Of one. | have
travelled through all parts Of the south
by night and by day and have never
felt that I have been In the least dan
ger, and II I had l am quite sure l
would not have been protected by rea-
son of carrying pistol. Where pis-
tol or gun keeps a person out of trou-
BILE one time, nine times 1t gets him IN
trouble. Besides, carrying concealed
weapons not only does not protect
iife, but carrying concealed weapons
Il 4 barbarous, coarse and vulgar
habit. There is no reason why per-
son in q civilized country like the
United States should get into the
habit of going around in the commu-
nifty loaded and burdened with piece
of iron In the form Of pistol or gun.
II this subject Is taken up at once
and discussed and agltated through
out the south by our people am sure
that within a few weeks at least the
colored people will cease carrying
weapons and there will not be 80
great loss of life and limb a. Is now
true.

DR.. Booker T. Washlngton's new

tinues the photographed narrative

ton has been intensely realistic. in

Of these chapters from my expert
ences" relates what he has learned
from some exceptional white men,
from experience with reporters aud
newspapers, from ex-President Roose-
welt, from black men Of many sorts
including "the intellectuals" and their
Boston mob,' from his educational
campaigns through the south, from
meeting high and low in Europe, from
observing education In Denmark. His
great problem has been how to recou-
cile and unite the antagonistic forces
Of public opinion, racial and sectional,
so as to inspire, upllft and regenerate
the negro masses. Believing in edu.
cation as the solvent influence, he
set to work in building school

pursued an undeviated aim at an ideal
of national importance, or has become
more widely influential than he. Al
seen through his testimony, our dread
ed race problem Is a retreating cloud
Even In Mississippi, supposedly in
hospitable to negro interests, there are
regions where the races seem to be
getting on "as we'll as, II not better
than, In any other portion of the
Union" Yet only an inspiring begin>
ming has been made. Wherever DR..
Washington's line has been followed
he finds hostility transformed into co,
operation. But he tells us that, 80
far as concerns the masses of the
negro people, education has never yet
been really tried"-tried in his realist-
ic, virile way Of teaching how to
work out ones own salvation. There
are too many sham colleges f,r ne
groes whose pretentious futility tends
to excuse what remains of southern
hostility to negro education. On the
other hand, we are warned to re.
gard newspaper reports and political
speeches as "a very poor indication
OF the actual relations Of the races"
Aside from its report of the advanc-
Ing solution of national problem.
this remarkable book, replete with
teaiins facts, possesses Q distinct ped
gogical value for all professional;

Mr.. Will Smith has returned to the

car loads of tobacco to be assorted in
his Evansville warehouse.

Anselmo Marge and shipped by him to

Mr.. Marge has been in this country a

looking at the best herds of Hereford
cattle, only to return to Evansville to
buy of Mr.. Robinson because these ami
mails were the best of their kind to be
seen in the United States.
The death of Caleb E. Lee occurred
at the home on First street Tuesday
morning at 2 o'clock, following short
illness. Mr.. Lee has been in failing
number of months confined to the
house. Mr.. Lee was native of Craw-
ford county, Penn, and was born Nov.
10, 1885. In the spring of 1848 the
family moved to Wisconsin and in 1851
to Rock county. Here he learned the
machinist trade in the Budd Foundry
and Machine Works. In 1858 he be-
came chief engineer of the North Star
steamer on the Mississippi river. This
was followed by employment in steam
boat work in New York until the spring
of 1861 when he entered the United
States naval service as assistant en-
gineer. During the war he served on
some of the best known vessels of the
navy, and at the close of the war
cruised through the West India Islands,
on the north and east coast of South
America, the Falkland Islands and the
west coast of Africa. In December,
1876, he was placed on the retired list
of naval officers. During these years
he took part in many important en-
gagements, proving himself a brave
soldier, loyal to his flag and country,
never Sinking any duty. At the close
of his active naval life he withdrew
from the service and returned to Rock
county and turned his attention to
farming until 1885. During that year
he settled in Evansville and engaged in
the harness trade. Here he built up
successful business and took an active
part in all local affairs. For six years
he served as a member of the board of
of Rock county and was
president of the village board for four
years. He brought to these offices the
same integrity and enterprise that are
essential alike to the soldier and private
citizen.
