NEGRO pYTH|ANS WILL
NOT SURRENDER

The Supreme Court of Tennessee
at its session Wednesday refused
to grant the Writ of ertiorari
prayed for by the colored Pythians.
The latter is given six months to
disband by the decree. The de-
cree allows this time for the order
to wind up its affairs, dispose of its
regalia, etc. 1t will be remember
ed that the white knights institnt-
ed suit against the colored fratern-
ity some two years ago, which has
been contested from the lowest to
the highest court of the state.
Able counsel was employed. M uch
money has been spent During
the litigation the Negro order grew
and fourished. The leaders are
men OF good repute, men of probity
and high standing, who had hoped
for the best. They have built one
of the most powerful Negro fra
ternities extant, and were doing an
untold good to the widows and
orphans of deceased members.
The organization has property in
nearly every city and crossroad in
the state. The valuation of which
is nearly half million dollars.
Each subordinate lodge has a re.
serve fund. Then. too, the En-
dowment and Grand Lodge have
ample finances. The rank and file
are of the very best Negro citizen
ship of the state. The farmer, law
yer, doctor, in fine, men from all
respectable walks of life.

of the order, is here preparing the

RACE OF WISE MEN
FOUND in AFRICA

Berlin, Jan. 27.-Dr. Nekes, an
authority on Africa, has found in
the neighborhood of the new Ger
man territory surrendered by
France, a tribe he described as
''the people of the future" assign
ing to them practically all the CIV
ilized virtues, as we'll as original
strength and manliness.
The new nation is branch of
the mighty Fang race called
Jaunde. They number half a mil
lion now and are rapidly inoreas-
ing. The whole nation is pushing
westward from its native region
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-10

near the sources of the White Nile.
DR.. Nekes says the people are
amazingly intelligent, very power
full physically, are found of work
and have an astonishingly rich Ian
guage, while they can express in
native idom the most modern ideas
of the most modern things-such
as cigars and telephones.
They are divided into three So
cial classes, freemen, freedmen end
slaves captured In war. Their re-
llgion consists partly of ancestor
worship and partly OF belief in
ghosts. Considering that all evil
comes from witchcraft and sorcery
they have witch finders.
Regarding women as the source
of all mischief, when a chieftain
dies they beat his wives to make
sure that they punish the right
one. DR.. Nekes regards them in
telligently on the level of Europ-
cans in the middle ages. He says
they have the same ixedness OF
purpose unspoiled by modern soft
ness.
Strong efforts are to be made by
the German Government to pur.
suade this rapidly multiplying
people to settle in new German
Territory, where they will be care
fully looked after until they are
fully able to provide for themselves.

It will be remembered that the
Negro Pythians of Georgia have
pending similar case in that high
tribunal. Georgia's courts. like
Tennessee's, decided adversely to
the Negroes, but the Negro Pyth-
ians of that state kept up legal con-
test. 1t cannot be said when de-
cision will be had, but in the mean
time the bodies will continue to
meet, get new members and do
good to all men.
The Endowment Boards of the

Baltimore, MD, Jan 3l.-The
placing of separate waiting rooms
for Negroes in the Camden station
of the Baltimore q Ohio Railroad

this city as they have not been

The Jim Grow" signs were
placed in the station ten days ago,

spoke out against the attempt of
the road to Jim Grow" the peo-
pie of Baltimore. In their pull

In speaking of the matter Edi-
tor Murphy said: 1.-The discrimi-
nation is without warrant of law
and may please the gentlemen who
will come from the South to attend
the Democratic National Conven-
ton, but We intend to fight it.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
which is the oldest railroad in the
country, has enjoyed liberal sup
port, from the race. If the discon-
tinuation is not done away those
who have in charge the transporta-

general conferences and conven-

Hampton, Va, Jan. 29.-The
eighteenth Founders Day was fit
tinly celebrated at Hampton Insti-
tute. on Sunday, January 2S, in
honor of Gen. Samuel Chapman
Armstrong, who founded the
Hampton School in 1868 for the
education of both Negro and In
dian youth, and who for twenty-five
years served as its efficient princi-
pal.
The principal address of the day
was delivered by Dr. Edward w.

who first met General Armstrong
on the soil of Virginia during the
Civil War and later assisted the
founder of Hampton in adjusting
the relations of the white and COL

the faculty of tightening a serious
situation with a laugh-compelling

left all parties fairly well, if not
entirely, satisfied with his decis-
ions.
During all the latter period of
our life together, Armstrong; mind
was full of the thought of this
normal and industrial institute,
which seemed to him to be such
crying need.
He spoke of it to every one
