POPULATION OF TEXAS.

On the date of the battle of San ia
ctnto, April 21, 1886. the combiped
population of Texas. Indians included,
was approximately 10000. OF this
number not more than $4,000 were
whites.
BY 1850 the population had increased
nearly six-fold, or to 212,592. In 1860
1t was 604,251. an increase for the dec
ade of 1874 per cent; in 1870. Sfs,579,
an Increase of 35 per cent; in 1880.
1.591,749, or "a per cent; iu 1890.
2,236.528, or 40 per cent; in 1900,
3,048,710. or 86 per cent; in 1910,
8,898,542. or 2S per cent
A recent report of the United States
census shows that in Texas the negro
race did not increase proportionately
as much as the white, and that the
negro population OF the entire state
represented smaller percentage In
1910 than In 1900.

scheme 1t seemed tome tremendous.
1t has succeeded, though; 1t is surely
doing great work. The negro is an
emotional man, especially in matters
OF religion, and illiterate preachers OF
their own race do them more harm
than good in teaching them the wrong
kind of religion. What we want to
teach them above everything else ia
practical religion and good citizenship.
We want to show them that they can
not become good business men or sue
ceed in any branch of life unless they
have the real kind Of religion"

ROSS SUCCEEDS GRIFFIN
NEW HEAD OF TRUK REFoRMERs
ASsUME6 DUTIES - FORMER
GENERAL sEcRETARY 5URRELL
ThINks ORDER CAN BE REHAs-
iLITATRD WITHIN FIVE YEARS.

Richmond, Va.-F1oyd Ross, vice
grand worthy master of the True Re.
formers, and chief of the St. Louis
succeeding the late W. R. Griffin, who
was accidentally killed In railroad
wreck near F'ordo. Va.
The news of the death of Grand
Worthy Master Griffin came as a great
shock to the members of the order
throughout the country. The de-
ceased had been at the head of the
True Reformers since last fall and
spent all Of his time toward rehabili-
tating the order
Funeral services were held over the
remains from the Third street A. NJ.
E. church last Thursday, and were at
tended by the prominent members of
the order
w. P. Burrell. formerly general SEQ
retary of the True Reformers, was a
visitor in New York this week, and
commenting on the accidental death
Of Grand Master Griffin declared that
the order loses a member who had its
best welfare at heart. Mr.. Burrell
viewed the remains of the deceased
shortly after the wreck.
Although l was one of those ousted
last fall when Mr. Griffin and a new
set of officers were elected, yet l was
on good terms with the deceased, de-
clared Mr.. Burrell to a representative
of The Age. While he was grand
worthy master he appointed me on
several different committees, and
co-operated with him to the best Of my
ability.
The outlook for the rehabilitation
of the True Reformers is good Under
the leadership of the new grand
worthy master, Floyd Ross, If a con-
servative policy is pursued. the order
should ultimately get on its feet.
There is debt of 100000 to be wiped
out, which should be done within the
next few years.

BUTCHER USING AK ON NEGROES
UNKNOWN MURDERER SPREAD
ING TERROR IN LOUISIANA
AND TEXAS.

Beaumont, Tex.-Ethel Love, a ne
gress, her son and two daughters,
were killed in their cabin near Beau
mont, the seventh of series of simi-
lar crimes which have occurred with
in several months in southwestern
Louisiana and southeastern Texas and
In which the number of persons killed
now total 30
In each instance the slayer, believed
to be the same person, battered the
heads of his victims with an ak as
they slept. Invariably the weapon
used has been left near the bodies, but
no other evidence has been found
which might lead to an arrest AS a
rule the negroes killed are obscure
residents of small settlements and no
motive can be assigned.
The first occurrence was at Rayne,
Louisiana, when a mother and four
children were killed. AT Lafayette
the victims number four. Next came
Crowley. La. with family consisting
of father, mother and one child. La
Fayette was then next with another
family of four; then at Crowley a
woman and her three children were
killed on January 1S. On January 81
family of five was murdered at Lake
Charles. The crime here was the sew
enth.
AS a result. negro residents of the
several cities are terror-stricken.
Lights are kept burning, prayer meet

the families take turns in keeping

In many respects St. PauTs is the
third largest school In the country for
the education of colored youth, and
the largest in the Episcopal church.
Its enrolment will exceed 500, its
faculty so. 1t has a property with a
gross value of over 100000 There
are seventeen families connected with
the school, giving their entire life to
the work. There are four other mar.
ried persons awaiting accommoda.
tions. In an organized way the infiu.
ence of the school reaches every per.
son in the county and may be felt in
the lives of its graduates in nearly
every state in the Union and in some
foreign countries. In this county alone
the school has SO active leagues, con-
ducts an annual fair, a farmers con.
ference and a teachers institute Dur
ing the past year we have been forced
to turn away large number of stu.
dents for lack of accommodations and
means of support. The majority OF
these applicants came from the rural
districts and seemed to yearn for an
opportunity to work for an education.

With due ceremonial, new presi-
dent-Daniel 3. Howard-has been in
stalled as the successor of Arthur
Barclay in Liberia. Liberia and Abys-
sinia are now the only areas in Africa
not absolutely controlled by European
powers. Great Britain, France and
Italy have, however, undertaken to
preserve the territorial integrity of
Menelik's empire, and the United
States has taken friendly interest in
the recent reorganization of Liberals
finances.
The scheme for an international
year ago, provides that an American
controller, with British, French and
German subcontrollers, shall admin
lister the customs. Liberia has well
coined the arrangement, for since on
July 26, 1S47, the Free and Inde-
pendent Republic" was constituted, its
government has been in unstable
equilibrium betwixt the threatened ag>
grandiZement of European powers and
the menace of natives-at present
numbering perhaps 1000. 0.000-in the
unexplored and mysterious hinterland
whose borders have never been pre-
cisely determined. What may be
called Civilized" Liberia is but a
strip of land along the sea front not
more than 200 miles in width, inhab-
tied by some $4,000 civilized Ameri-
can Liberians, negroes, with the
status of British citizens, and Euro
peans OF diverse nationality.
The appointment of an American
controller In chief authority over the
customs encourages the Liberians to
believe that the United States will
guarantee the territorial integrity Of
their country just as England, France
and Italy are on guard to prevent en-
croachment in Abyssinia. They would
like nothing better than to have an
American protectorate established at
Monrovia, their capital. But though
the plantation on the African coast
was of American origin and inspira-
ton. the intention OF the promoters
being to provide n colony for Ameri-
can freedmen, the United States will
go no further than the present agree
ment to reorganize the finances, the
national defenses and the agricultural
system, and determine the proper
boundary. Otherwise, the Liberians
will be left free to work out their
own political destinies and to improve
their rich and hitherto almost un-
touched natural resources.-Editorial

According to the last count made by
the United States government $685.
294 negroes dwell in this country, and
s,327.S45 of them live in the 13 states
of the south.
A few years ago five southern states
had larger negro than white popula-
ton. but now. according to statistics
only two have more negroes than
whites, South Carolina and Missis-
sippi. Missisippi's total population
white and negro. is 1,797.114 of which
1,00s,487 are negroes. South Carolina
has total population of 1.515,400 of
which S35.S4S are negroes.
The negro population of this country
has not decreased, but thousands of
negroes who desired to remain in the
south, on account of climate and 9TH
er conditions, have been forced to
scatter themselves over the country in
search OF manhood rights.
Many of those who have remained
in Virginia have much to be thankful

In some instances our people pray
so long as there is, or has been any
spirit in the congregation 1t will surely
leave 1t seems that the ones who
offer these prayers have no concep-
tion whatever of how to pray to de-
rive some benefit therefrom.
They seem to think that they have
got to disturb God on his throne" In
the way of a nonsensical prayer be-
fore they are heard.
They will, in most cases, start in
at "Our Father" etc, and end God
knows where. They pray seemingly
only trying to outpray the other good
old brother who has just preceded
him; caring nothing for how he ad-
dresses the Almighty, calling him
from God the Father to the Babe born
IN the manger.
The good brethren get so enthused
over their prayers some times they
get out of words and repeat from one
to fifty times in succession: "Oh Lord,
oh, Lord, and All! oh, Lord!' which
is good praying but not SO regular.
These brethren again seemingly pray
for that shouting spirit to come
to the good old Amen-Sisters; pray
ing in every tone of voice, from
a deep bass to high tenor, and from
the cradle to the grave, they will
finally get the good old sisters to NOV
ing about after a two or three hour
prayer. then they will say: Amen,
and thank God At the end of this
noble three hour prayer the majority
of the people are tired out and before
the contribution basket is passed, half
the congregation has dispersed. Dear
brethren, when you pray-pray for the
good that there is in prayer and not
for the shouting qualities and the de-
feat of the brother who has Just dis
turbed God on his throne, Palestine

In addition to having to sustain
the shock of battle being waged
against the race at large, every negro
who is trying to move forward has
an individual battle of his own to
fight-this is especially true of the
negro whose working capital is his
brains and who for that reason is in
competition with the rest of the world
To illustrate: At Louisville, KY, the
white people are erecting a million
dollar hospital, one wing for the
white, and the other, with equal ap-
pointments, for the colored White
internes and physicians will practice
on colored patients, but negro doctors
and surgeons will not be permitted to
enter. They are barred from prac-
ticing on any body.
Unless all signs fail movements OF
this sort will tend to stimulate ne
gro physicians to establish hospitals
and sanitariums OF their own. 1t was
once thought to be true, that on the
intellectual sea there is room for
every sail. II the negro does not find
that to be so, he must make 1t so. II
the sea is too narrow 1t must be en-
larged.-Dallas Express.
