Mrs. Dr. Veal of Martel, and her
granddaughter, Vera and Jeanette
Veal, of Jacksonville, were visiting in
Cotton Plant last Monday.
Rev. ]. B. Rooney and Judge C. R.
Veal met at the home of Hon. and
Mrs. H. w. Long last Wednesday to
examine the registers of the four
| churches on the Martel circuit, and
found them we'll and neatly kept. Mr.
Long, after this work had been per-
formed, exhibited many valuable pa
pers and documents pertaining to ST.
Johns church from 1860 to date. The
committee was then shown the depos-
ltory of these papers, where, at any
time, barring fire or other accident,
these papers could be found. Truly,
Mr.. Long has served this church for
half a century with faithfulness and
efficiency, and when the Master calls
ne will receive his reward Mr.. Long
spoke very feelingly of the many
highly priced gifts he had received,
one being a beautiful watch charm,
presented by st. Johns Sunday
school, as well as a large, comfortable
chair, which occupies a place in St.
Johns church. He also exhibited two
gold-headed walking canes, ne pre-
sented by the board of county COM
missioners of Marion county and the
, other by the democratic state conven-
ton held in Jacksonville several
years ago. All of these were given as
token of the high regard and es-
tee min which Mr.. Long is held by
the people, and it is needless to say
that he appreciates them more than
he can express.

CUBA ON VERGE OF

Havana, May 20.-There is no

of taking up arms against the gov
ernment today, which was the
tenth anniversary of Cuban inde-

The Negroes appear to have

TRIED TO Jim CROW"
VETERANS

Washington, D. G., May 15.-
Congressman Roddenbery, Demo-
crat of Georgia, made an unsuc-
cessful effort to compel the Gov
ernment to create Jim Crow
soldiers home throughout the
country in which Afro-American
veterans can be cared for.
The House had under consider
alton at the time the conference re-
port on the Sherwood Pension bill
Reddenbery offered an amedment
which provided no pension shall
be allowed inmates of national SOL
diers homes unless whites and
blacks are cared for in separate
domiciles and grounds.
To support his contension Rod
denbery read letter from an in
mate of a Western soldiers home
who said he is compelled to live
with "niggers." The name of the
writer was withheld.
Mr.. Madden, of Illinois, in re-
plying to the Georgian, character
lied the writer of the letter as a
coward"
This brought Roddenbery to his
feet. His face flushed with anger.
He replied that the letter was
signed.
The following is the text of the
Roddenbery amendment:
Add at the bottom of page 36 of
the bill the following:
Provided, That after July 1,
1912, no pension under this act or
under any other act, general or
special, shall be paid to pension
er of African descent until such
time as all inmates of national
soldiers home of African descent
are consolidated, removed, and
domiciled in a national soldiers
home at a place separate and apart
from any other such home occu-
pied by any other soldiers and vet
Grams of the Civil War or other
wars.
provided further, That after
July l, 1912, all inmates of nation
al soldiers homes of African de-
scent shall be domiciled at dis
tincty separate home maintained
excessively for such inmates"

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

Pittsburg, Pa.-The gratifying
news has come to our attention
that Mr.. Kuhn, the well known
hotel proprietor of the East End,
has dispensed with the white wait
ers and the manager, Mr.. Joyce,
who preferred them, and has in
stalled all Negro help. This is in
deed a significant incident, at
least so far as the Negro is con-
cerned. Once more has it been
demonstrated that the Negro, af-
ter all, is the only efficient servant,
when he is man enough to take
pride in the work assigned him.
Not long ago the Courier was
forced to give out the lamentable
intelligence that Kuhn had put
out" the Negro walters. In less
than year they have been rein
stated, and the manager who put
them out" has been discharged.

memories of oldtime power and
prestige, and the scream of the
factory whistle has stirred in
Southern blood the iron spirit of
the conqueror and we are enter
ing the battle field of the worlds
commerce, alert, progressive and
powerful.
The hour of destiny is fast ap-
preaching when the South, with
one mighty surge of its organized
forces, can pull the star of civili-
zation within its borders
During the past few years, many
of our thoroughfares, beaten firm
by the bare feet of the pioneers,
have for the first time felt the ele-
vating influence of the road grad
er. Macadam roads, magnificent
boulevards and net work of pub.
lie highways radiate from every
city that has a live commercial
club, and they stand as monu-
ment to Southern ability and pro-
gress.
Beneath our soil lie the mineral
vaults of the universe; frd9 our
iron, the wheels of the nation s
commerce are moulded; our Goa
feeds the fires of American indus
try, and our oil lights the worlds
fresides, and yet we have un-
touched vast acres of mineral
wealth awaiting the prospector's
pick to flood the channel of trade
with golden stream of prosper
ity.
We urge our people to take note
of the movement. We urge them
to be in no way laggard in hitch
ing themselves on to all of these
plans for the development of the
South. We urge them to put
away needless and fruitless dis
cussion of unimportant and non
essential details and to pray for a
double baptism of this spirit of the
new South which seems rampant
throughout that section.
No longer will it be possible for
us to sit down discussing sense
less subjects when the young white
men of the South are getting ready
to possess themselves of the land
and the fullness thereof.

GENERAL CONFERENCE
ELECT FOUR BISHOPS

Kansas City, Mo.-The election
of four bishops in the great A. M.
E. Church was accomplished yes
terday amid one of the biggest
demonstrations ever witnessed by
this august body. Long before
the hour set for this very impor-
tant action great throngs of friends
and adherents of candidates were
clamoring for admission to Allen
Chapel. Bishop Flipper was pre-
siding and for hours he tried in
vain to get some semblance of Or
der. but after it was seen that the
church was inadequent to enter
tain such a gathering the General
Conference adjurned to .Conven-
ton Hall, where, amidst the great
est demonstration since Bryan's
nomination in 1900, these four
bishops were elected. There were
nearly a score of candidates all
we'll fortified in backing asking to
be one of the four. On the first
ballot Rev. John Hurst of Wash
ington, d. G., was the only one to
land safely, receiving 314 votes.

Monroe, N. G., May 14.-The
county commissioners have ap.
pointed G. G.. Mccain. registar
and L. W. Mcdonald judges to
hold an election for special school
tax in district No. 5 for the Negro
es on the line between Muford and
Jackson townships. AS it was
agreed that the whites should not
be taxed for the colored race, the
Negroes have not been taxed, and
this is the only Negro district that
has applied for the special tax. 1t
is believed that there will be many
more and it is commendable, show
ing the progressive spirit of the
Negroes in this country.

great majority of the Cuban

a great majority of the Cuban
forces.
The feeling against the govern
ment has been intensified by a law
denying the Negroes the right to
organize political party.
The principal trouble now is
near Sagua La Grande, in Santa
Clara province and Cruces, where
two armed parties are operating
and in Oriente province where sew
eral bands are converging on Guat-
anamo city with the apparent pur-
pose of making a display of force.
The rural guard succeeded in dis
percing one small party and cap
turing two others.
The situation is considered suffi-
ciently grave for the government
to dispatch 1,200 men from Camp
Columbia, composed of cavalry
and infantry, with field and ma
chine guns, for Santa Clara and
Oriente provinces.
Near Sagua La Grande squad
of rufaies had an engagement with
an armed band of Negroes. One
of the guards was killed and the
Negroes escaped.
From Cruises comes the report
that residents of the surrounding
country are fleeing to the city for
shelter. The insurgents are re-
ported to have held up a locamo-
tive and stolen many horses,
At Mariany, eight miles from
Havana, the rural guard exchang-
ed shots with a party of Negroes.
The secretary of the interior,
Senor Bru, said there was no doubt
about the widespread racial con-
spiracy which the government is
determined to deal with drastically,
but that up to the present the on
ly danger points are Santa Clara
and Ariente.

GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY.

The reason the Lord will not
bless us and have us prosper as
other races, is because we are not
true to each other. We do not
want to see one another get up in
the world, for, if one starts up We
will pull him down. We help,
give aid and support other races
in business before we will one of
our own race. We are too preju-
dice against each other, jealous
of each others prosperity end hate
to see each other have something
you haven't got. And God is
angry with us for our ugliness and
underminding spirit. God don't
like ugly.-Ceutral Afro-Anierican

Bishop Alexander Walters and
other Negroes who have been
spending a large part of their time
trying to show the colored voters
that the time is ripe for them to
join forces with the Democratic
party and work industriously to
elect a Democratic President in
November, have struck another
snag The radical Democrats
have broken out again and shown
that they are not particular in
recognizing the Negro as a Demo-
crat, despite the claimes of Bishop
Walters and his followers to the
contrary. In the capital city last
week the local Democratic Com
mittee decided to bar all Negro
Democrats from voting in the
primaries. 1t was agreed that the
colored voters were not wanted.
tits said that Speaker Clark was
heartily in favor of the plan to bar
the colored voters from participat-
ing in the primaries.

Savannah, Ga, May 14.-The
plan to elect a colored suffragan
as bishop in charge of work among
the Negroes was approved in the
report of a committee of the Epis-
copal diocese of Georgia at the an
nual convention last week. How
ever, considerable opposition de-
veloped during the debate which
followed. The convention finally
decided not to take action this
year upon the matter of suffra-
gan Negro bishop.
