SELF DEFENSE

Montgomery, April 1e.-
Wrestling a pistol from the
hand of John Mitchell, white,
after he had received a bullet
wound in the abdomen, Teger
Allen, negro, fired five shots
into Mitchells body and killed
him instantly Friday night,
Allen was brought to a hos :
pital, where an operation was
performed, but there is little
chance for his recovery.
1t is understood the fight
was caused by Aliens objec-
ton to certain orders given by
Mitchell. Allen had been en-
ployed on the Mitchell plan :
tation for many years.

Banquet
For Binga

than the National Association
for the Advancement of COL
ored People which met in its
fifth annual session here yes
terday. The opening session
was held in the Keneseth Is
rael Temple. The associa-
ton is made up largely of col
ored people but some of the
foremost white men and wom-
en- are actively engaged in ex-
panding the association and
making it more useful.
By some it is thought that
the association is fighting
Booker I. Washington. The
prominence of DR.. w. E. Du
Bois in the organization is
usually what gives rise to the
thought. And it is really a
fact that Dubois is the domi =
mating spirit of the organiza :
ton, and it is equally true that
Dubois has won more com =
manding position among our
people by reason of the asso :
citation than from all his for
mer efforts.
The papers. speeches and
discussions during the sessions
of the association will serve
as an inspiration to our peo-
pie and the prediction is freely
made that it will not be long
before the Association for the
Advancement Of Colored Peo.

The Awakening

Philadelphia, Pa, April "a.
AT last it seems the Negro
is awakening to the fact that
he must fight his own battles;
he sees also that all white peo-
pie are not against him and
that many notable white men
and white women are ready
to assist him, when the Negro
indicates that he is willing to
stand up for himself.
No organization is doing
more in preserving the rights
guaranteed the race and fight
ing encroachments thereon

ANY OLD JOB

Before the Democratic ad-
ministration was ushered in,
hundreds of prominent negro
democrats were sitting up
nights figuring out just what
they wanted in. particular. Mr..
Wilson is quick in discharging
but slow in appointing; so
there is great anxiety on the
part of the seekers of the
plum. just where they will
fall, and will make themselves
content with any old job. The
job as Minister to Liberia is
certain, but all the rest where
there is white objection, are
doubtful. Recently Mr.. Bob
Smalls, who has-beens Cellec-
tor of Port at Beaufort, S. c.,
for twenty years, was ousted
and a resolution was introdu-
ced in the Florida legislature
to remove from office all col
ored office-holders, especially
Joe Lee, International Reve-
nue. Collector at Jacksonville.
The resolution passed.

Last week the Chicago Col

Last week the Chicago COL
ored Business Mems assocla-
ton rendered a banquet to
Jesse Birga in honor of his
forty eighth birthday. 1t was
not only a social affair, but
plans we're put on foot to raise
the standard of the colored
business men in that city. 1t
means the bringing together
of more than 500 men who
will work for the interest of
each other. Mr.. Binga deliv-
cred an eloquent address, in
which he said in part:
1T is up to us to hasten the
, day when better times will
dawn upon us, when our cher
ished hopes will be realized,
when success will attend our
every effort. 1t must be our
desire to serve if We expect
better service. Avenues in all
lines are open to us and 1t is
up to us to be up and dong.
4 Envy and selhshness should be
put aside. petty jealousy dis
dained and we should arise in
our might to meet the many
emergencies that confront us,
J remembering that IN union
there is strength. East of
the railroad. the Thirties be-
long to the Negro.
There is no reason why the
stores where you trade in this
vicinity should not be owned
and conducted by one OF our
race. This is our district abb
solutely. We should and must
learn to patronize one anoth-
er. Not until that time will
the race amount to anything.
We will reap what we SOW.
Fearlessly let us push tor
ward. AS race we are indi-
xidually responsible for our
moral character, and to estab-
lish that is a business, and as
our character is being shaped,
let US stand firm to mould the
proper conditions in our sew
eral localities. And when this
is accomplished, you will see
That what makes a man,
makes d race. "
We might add tina; in our
city is the Colorado CONNER
cial Alliance with offices at
1925 2Ist street, organized
along the same lines and is
making a strenuous effort to
bring together the business
interests.

Even the Blind

GadSen, A a Raymond
Berry. colored, was arrested
last week charged with boot
Logging" Arrests of this kind
in all prohibition territory are
not uncommon, and interest
in this case rs created because
Berry is stone blind. He at
tended the Blind Institute at
Tallageda and is we'll thought
of by many people here.
Tide arrest of Berry empha-
sizes the ingenuity displayed
by the bootlcggers through
out the vast expanse of prohi-
bition territory in the South.
When, the prohibition wave
spread over the South, the
strongest argument advanced,
was the terrible effect of liqu-
or upon the Negro. But still
the Negro is factor for the
low class of Negroes take to
bootlegging like the same
class take to bootlegged whis-
key, and in many cases the
lower element among the
whites back the Negroes in
their prohibition violations.
Not only is this county and
state affected thus but through
out the whole South.

The Work Begun

Humanity has not only a duty to keep chill
dren alive, but also to give every child a chance
of living decent life and become decent citi-
zen," says General Booth.
To make men is the work Of the Y M. c..
A.; its power to do so is growing stronger each
day; new fields are opening up; new material
being gathered, and before the close Of another

proudly upon some building, large or small, and
say, THAT'S our Y. NJ c. a. Home"

Public Love Making in Spain.

w. D. Howells in Harper's Maga-
zine for June: The best of the AL
cazar is the Alcazar gardens. But
would not ignore the homelike
charm of the vast court by which you
enter the street outside to the palace
beyond. 1t is planted casually about
with rather shabby orange trees that
children were playing under, and
was decorated with the weeks wash
of the low simple dwellings which
may be hired at aorental moderate
even for Seville, where a handsome
and commodious house in good
quarter rents for $50 a year. One
of these two-story cottages, as we
should call them, in the ante-court
OF Alcazar, had for the student of
Spanish life the special advantage of
a lover close to a ground-flour win
dow dropping tender nothings down
through the Stats of the shutter to
some maiden lurking within. The
nothlngs were SO tender that
you could not hear them drop, and
besides, they were Spanish nothings,
and it would not have served any
purpose for the stranger to listen for
them. Once afterwards he saw the
national courtship going on at an
other easement, but that was at
night, and here the precious first
sight of it was offered at 10 o'clock
in the morning. Nobody seemed to
mind the lover stationed outside the
shutter with which the iron bars
forbid him the closest contact; and
1t is only fair to say that he minded
nobody; he was there when we went
in and there when we came out, and
1t appears that when it is a question
of love-making time is no more of
an object in Spain than in the
United States. The scene would
been better by moonlight, but you
cannot always have it moonlight, and
the sun did not seem to miss the
moon.
