SAN DIEGO, CAL, Apr. 3O.-Plans
are now under way for California to
have an exhibit at the National Con.
servation Exposition to be held in

approval of President William s,
Shields, of the National Conservation

Collier, of the Panama California Ex.
position. The invitation to exhibit
was extended to California by presi,
dent Shields in a letter of recent
date addressed to President Collier.
After stating that the exposition at
Knoxville is to be devoted to the
conservation and highest develop
ment of the natural resources of the
SOUTH" President Shields adds:
ut has been suggested that the
California exhibit at Turin, italy,
might be used at Knoxville before il
is returned to California for exhibi
ton there. 1t also suggested that an
exhibit at Knoxville designed to ad.
eertise the Panama-Canal Exposition,
might aid materially in drawing PEG.
pie of the southeast, and other visit
ors Of the Conservation Exposition to
San Diego in 1914 and 1915.
ut is planned that the sixteen
southeastern states win have exten.
sive exhibits at Knoxville, and It (
would be OF great advantage to this
region to transfer these exhibits at
the completion of our exhibition for
display at San Dieego."
President Shields then adds that
the two expositions could in these
and other ways be of great mutual
assistance. He adds: Both exposl.
tions will advertise widelythroughou.

THE BRYANT IDEA

DR.. Bryant, of the Sunday-School
Union at Nashville, has succeeded in
impressing the entire church, with the
Importance of centralizing its print
ing industry at Nashville This is as
it should be, and will constitute a
master stroke of craftsmanship, such
as the church has not experienced in
half century. The best part of it is
that the church has not been asked
to ratify a theory but to enact into
Jaw a demonstrated fact. The way
DR.. Bryant has conducted the print
ing business at the Union during the
last four years and the unquestioned
success he has attained constitute a
solid and unassistable argument why
he should be given all the printing
of the church. When this is done
there is little doubt that the country
will have the dearest demonstration
of successful church printing estab-
lishment ever brought to public no
tice. The volume of sentiment ia
vorable to this plan grows in magni-
tude and clearness and will doubtless
make DR. Bryant the indisputed hero
of the next general conference.-the
Durham Reformer.

Councu. DR.. Lewis, when seen
by Globe representative, was
asked his views as to what legisla-
ton would be adopted at the next
General Conference. 1t was cleaned
from his conversation that much
legislation for the better interest of
the Church would be adopted at the
coming meeting. He was firm in his
belief that some steps would be TAX

ters DR.. Lewis. is asking the Gen.
eral Conference to make a special ap-
preparation for his department to be
used for the aid of just such persons
as mentioned above. He is asking
for 6 per cent. of 46 per cent. of the
Dollar Money Fund, which he says
Will give to his department between
twelve and fifteen thousand dollars
annually for the benefit of the needy
preachers and widows.
The A. M. E. Church is a great or
ganization, and it is believed from
what can be learned from many
parts Of the country that some steps
Will be taken in the direction as sug-
gested by DR.. Lewis.
AT Norfolk, Va, the two Preachers
Aid Departments were blended; |. e..
the department formerly conducted
by Bishop Heard and the association
organized by DR.. Lewis, were made
into one and styled the Correctional

move was considered wise step, and
it is believed that the coming session
OF the General Conference will take
one step further. 1t is said that the

The Deadly Weapon.

Constantly it is brought to the at
tention of the American people that
the habit of carrying concealed
weapons is allowed to go on too gen.
orally in this country. A brave man
never feels that he needs to carry
small artillery on his person to pro-
tect him against his fellowmen. 1t
is only a coward, or one who is bent
on doing mischief, that is never con-
tented unless he has on his person a
deadly weapon. 1t is an easy
thing for fifty or a hundred deputy
sheriffs to be assembled in less than
thirty minutes. 1t has gotten to the
place where nobody knows who are
deputy sherlffs. They are so COM
mon that every white man you meet
is liable to have on his person a con-
cealed weapon and to feel that he is
a guardian of the peace.
The deplorable affair reported from
Brentwood would never have hap
pened had not the superintendent of
the work gone to the cabin of the
laborer armed, 1t is possible in most
cases to reason with men, if they are
approached in the right way, but it
is never safe to try to force the most
ignorant man to do a thing he does
not believe you have the right to
compel him to do.
Negroes are not insolent, as a rule.
They are willing to work when treat
ed with any degree of consideration,
but the saying that worm will
eventually turn if tread on too often
may be applied to the most humble
creature in the world.
It is to be regretted that this I'M
Fortunate affair happened, but it is
brought out, however, that the man
who did the shooting was not a resi-.

Be Not Deceived.

be MOI deceived.
Things happen from time to time
that seem strange, and men dc
things that are least expected Of
them but these are conditions with
which humanity has to contend. II
has been so from the beginning Of
time, and shows no signs of suspen-
sion. All men must grapple with
these conditions. Laws are made
not for class, but for all: Every
man is amenable to the law whether
he understands it or not.
1912 is an election year from magis-
trate to the president of the United
States. 1t is a time when the souls
of black men are tried every way
conceivable. He is singled out as a
target, and every man who announces
himself for an Office begins to figure
on the Negro. The object is to be-
guile him and get his support on
election day without making any de-
finite promises for the same. There
seems to be a general understanding
that the Negro must be intimidated
prior to the national elections, and
it is a fact that on many occasions
white men have actually melted riots
for the specific purpose of discourag-
ing. Negroes to take any active part
in political affairs.
Ben Tillman, the Senator who has
gained deal of notoriety by his at
tacks upon the Negro, boasts that in
South Carolina they have mobbed
Negroes to brighten others away from
the polls. He takes special pride in
referring to the record of some white
men of South Carolina. This is not
only true in South Carolina, but OF
other southern states as well. Where
conditions are somewhat different
there are other methods adopted. All
aiming at the same thing, viz, to use
the Negro in a way that subserves
the interest of the white man best.
For example: two white men are
running for Office in community
where Negroes vote. Each one has
SCI about to beguile the Negroes
The man in office, if he gets chance,
will pretend that he is making a
great effort to protect some Negro
prisoner, and at the same time will
allow them to be intimidated, and in
some cases, violently abused, with
the hope that his act will serve a
double purpose. His aim is to salts
fly the Negroes by making them be
lieve that he is friend to black PEG
pie; and at the same time he aims
to satisfy certain white constituen
cy by allowing them to perpetratt
some fiendish deed upon a helples!
Negro
Negro voters will have to read be
tween the lines, so to speak; they
will have to use good judgment il
voting. They must decide that tn.
old habit of closing the stable doc
after the horse is out will not do
but that men who are entrusted will
the execution of the law mus
do their whole duty. They must b
men who can see danger approaching
and before it is too late to make pre-
paration to guard against it. N
man is fit to hold office who is s.
stupid as to allow himself to b
caught in predicament that render
him powerless to do his duty. Thes
times need courageous men, and NJ
gro voters must look well to thes
things. They must not allow smil
and a pat on the back deceive them
but must insist that nothing will su,
flee but the faithful performance O
duty according to law.
