A TYPE OF NEGRO RURAL
SCHOOL.

What are some of the facts about the
condition of Negro public education in
virginia. There are about 2200 Ne
gro public schools In the state. Of
this number a conservative estimate
would give 1000 of them as one-rOom
schools. Many of the schools have no
home at all. They are carried on in
rented halls, or in old shaeks and log
cabins. In one county that we visited
a school was held in one room Of an
abandoned Negro dwelling house. This
house was box shaped and cut up cross
wise into three rooms. A sill, in the
room in which the school was held,
was broken on one side, throwing up
the floor In the middle of the room.
Every pane Of glass was out Of the
window, the door could not be closed,
and the walls Of the room were black
with smoke, dirt and cObWebs. The
teachers chair was without bottom,
her table was made Of an old dTygoods
box, very roughly put together, the
benches on which the children sat
would not stand upright except when
the children were sitting on them, and
the stove was 30 full Of holes that it
hardly held the Ere. The whole place
vas reeking with OdOrs and smells
common to old, discarded houses whore
old shoes, rags and 8 thousand other
things are left around. This Is one
Of the worst types Of sehOOIhouses in
the state, yet there are many Of its
kind

PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO IN THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

More Negro saints. The church has
already raised to her affairs Saint Bene-
diet, the Moor, under whose invOea-
ton a church has long stood in New
York City, and Blessed Martin PORES,
a South American, a son of a Spanish
father and a Negro mother.
The beatifeation cause of % ma
tive black men, martyred a few years
ago in the Nyanza, is now being
opened at Rome. Most of these were
converts of Cardinal Lavigerie s White
Fathers, and were baptized only in the
'sOs.
Some had previously been PrOstes-
tants; others, Mohammendans. At the
test they met death as bravely on the
hill of Kampia, and torments as fright
full as those Of the martyrs of the Col
iseum in Pagan Rome.
In the matter of the Negro mar
tyrs, their prayers must be helping the
spread of the faith amid their race in
America, for New York has now its
second church for them, and a house
of the Sisters of the Blessed Saera-
ment-Mother Katherine Drexel's or
der, founded exclusively for the serv-
ice of the Negroes and Indians-has
been opened in this city.

THE BEDBUG.
Science.


The bedbug is an unmitigated nuts
anee and so regarded by everybody
and by all good housewives in Partieu-
lar. This universal hatred of bed
bugs. according to Assistant Surgeon
General Rucker Of the Public Health
Service, is a valuable thing; and If
only all housewives would fight the fly
as strenuously and diligently as they
carry on their war against the bedbug
our nation would make a long stride
toward the goal of health. However,
DR.. Rueker says it is not a disgrace
to have bedbugs, as their presence may
mean merely accidental introduction.
But, he adds that their continued pres
enee means a positive disregard for
health.
According to DR.. Rueker, the bed
bug is one of the oldest of pests to the
human race. And that when primeval
man quit living in tree tops and took
to cover, the bedbug went with him.
In all his wanderings around the earth
man has carried the bedbug with him
and few of the modern ocean liners
are free from this ever present and
much dreaded pest. Neither cold nor
heat seems to affect the bedbug, and
in addition it can hibernate indefinite
lv without sustenanee and come up
alert and vigorous after a prolonged
period of starvation and rest.
The bedbug is really a mysterious
sort of insect. It thrives and multi
plies in old and dirty houses, in the
cracks and creviees of floors, walls,
ceilings, in all wooden bedsteads and
behind wall paper. Its natural food is
human blood, but failing to get this 1t
seems to thrive and do well upon de-
eaying wood and the dust in floor
cracks.
Bedbugs are hard to get rid of, when
once they have found Judgment in the
house. The best means is to destroy
or remove their place of coneealment.
AS is well known, bedbugs work only
at night and remain quiet during the
day time. While they multiply rapidly,
it takes from seven to IL weeks ae-
eording to warmth and food supply
from the time eggs are laid until the
bugs are full grown and ready for their
nightly depredations.
To destroy both the bugs and the
eggs, corrosive sublimate and boiling
water are the best and safest agencies
for the housewife to use. Benzine and
turpentine poured in cracks are effee-
tive but are both dangerous and should
be used with care.

JESUS A sEupENpoUs FAmURE

Jesus, Of Nazareth, was not eonsld-
cred much of a success by the resPee-
table orthodox people Of Bis day. his
career, from the manger Of Bethlehem
to the cross of Calvary, was regarded
by the vast majority of Bis genera
tion as a most stupendous failure. Yet
from that failure there dawned q new
era wonderful age, and for nearly
twenty centuries His name has affected
the destinies of the world.
Twenty-Five hundred years ago a
man lived and died in China, and the
event was not thought of much i'm
portanee by his eountrymen at the
time. That man was called Confucius.
And yet, for two thousand years the
words Of Confueius have been the
moral and civil law of the Chinese en-
pire, and to-day four hundred million
human beings-one quarter of the
worlds population-hold in veneratlon
the sacred name of Confueius.
The standard by when the "oIlu
judges its living and contemporary
minds is a false and foolish standard.
It is the standard of material success.
1t is the standard of gilt and glitter
and of sham and humbug. By that
standard no prophet was ever meas
ured. The prophet stands upon the
signal towers of progress and behOlds
the dawn of a new age while the world
sleeps in intellectual darkness. The
prophet stands upon the shore Of the
great ocean of truth and sees land on
the other side. But the world has no
use for the prophet until he has been
dead two eenturies.-Ross VIM.

Last Sundays services marked a
new epoch in the history of Walters
A. NJ. E. Zion. 1t was our rally day
for the mortgage debt. The weather
was not so pleasant and our audiences
were not as large as usual, our eollee-
tion in the morning was only $4,000.
At $3.50 p. NJ. DR.. d. p. Roberts of
Bethel A. NJ. E. Church preached US
an excellent sermon to a very small
audience, and Rev. T. L. Scott of the
C. NJ. E. Church rendered US valuable
service at the same hour and we raised
little over $500.
Our evening service was not as
large as usual; but when the roll call
of Captains was ended and the battle
scard warriors of Zion had made their
last self sacrificing rush to the table
it was found that the enemy was in
full retreat and $1O72.67, had been
raised. The first time in the history
of the church, that over a thousand
dollars was raised in a sigle effort.
The mark set and which We must
reach is $4,000. We wish our
friends to know that we are continuing
the fight and hope to reach the mark
by the close of Sunday services.
Bishop G. L. Blackwell, s. T. d. our
presiding bishop will preach for US
morning and evening. DR.. W. d. Cook

is extended to the public to attend

We are glad to note the fact and
the Colored people should be very
grateful to know that some Of the
good things that are passing around
to the Democrats are also passing into
the hands of Colored people. We can
rejoice over the election of a promi-
nent Colored lawyer, Hon. w. L.

ney of Graham County, one Of the
most prominent lawyers of that county
as well as of the whole western por-
ton of this state. he was elected on
the Democratic ticket with a majority
of 324. Mr.. Crank, the white Repub-
Iiean candidate, received q total of 564
votes, Mr.. Clack the Socialist candi-
date, 119 and Mr.. Ssyers, the Colored
Democratic candidate SIS, carrying IL
of the Is townships of the county. 1t
is true that this county has a large
Colored population, but the white Popu-
lation is far in the majority. Mr..
sayers even had the support of some
of the old moss-baek Democrats of the
Southern states. This shows that the
Democrats are having a change of
hearts as well as thought and We can
not help but feel proud over this hon
ored position given q member of our
race. If the Democrats would only put
the brakes on some of the hot-headed
members of their party in the South
and give the hard-working, progress
sive Colored citizen an even break,
the Colored people would vote the
Democratic ticket as well as any of
the rest. We wish Mr.. Sayers well
and hope he will use his influence with
the President-eleet, Mr.. Wilson, in
such a way as to cause him to give
his Colored brethren an even break for

AkALGAMATIoN OF RACES.
Well Known Anthropologist Notes
Change in Color Of Afro-Amerfcans.

SA1ukG IL SlAOA VI 614AO-1AAACAAINAAAos
AS the earlier separated American
types are becoming centralized into
one type, so the American Negro, al
ready possessed Of many of the men
tai and emotional characteristics of
our nation, has become so Importantly
different from his African ancestor
that to call him a plain Ethiopian
would not be touching the point, says
Walter Winston Kenilworth in the
Forum. He is already an American
citizen. Who knows what he will be
six generations hencei
Apart from this, it remains singu-
larly mysterious just exactly why the
Negro type is gradually relinquishing
its darker bodily shade and coming
into rarer and more Caucasian color.
There are Negroes, and an inereas-
ingly growing number of them, whose
color is not far removed from that of
the average Caucasian of southern
Europe or western Asia. Many of
them in truth might be taken for orr
entails of the darker Italian or Span
ish types.
The only reasonable hypothesis is
the amalgamatiOn of the Negro with
the Caucasian. 1t alone can account
for the gradual change in the frontal
development Of the head, the gradual
thinning of the lips, the gradual con-
traction of the nostrils and the gradual
change in texture of the hair, reeed-
ing from its primitive curly state to
the straight black coarse hair of the
south Asiatie, the Malay or Pacific
island type. This is so emphatieally
striking that attention only need be
called to the fact.
