From the Freeman.

FROM the Freeman.
The scum of over-populated Eu-
rope is being dumped into the
large cities of the seaboard and
with their ideas Of government by
force are spreading doctrines aud
practices of anarchy throughout
the country, making such condi-
tions possible as are being expos
ed in the countless murders, rob-
berries and assassinations in such
cities as New York and Chicago.
These ignorant hordes of Euro
pean barbarians are drifting to
the cities of the South and West
and are supplanting the faithful
and patient natives, both white
and black, and are coming to be
au awful menace to the safety of
American institutions. In our
city Greek company has been or
ganized to take the places of Ne
gro janitors and chauffeuls and a
most noticeable instance is the re.
cent dismissal of all Negro janitors
from the employment of the Louis
vile Trust Company, at Fifth and
Market streets. The white ten
ants of the buildings, knowing the
docile nature of the Negro and the
ferocious disposition of the de-
praved modern Greek, are very in
dignant and are urging colored peo-
pie to Withdraw their business and
deposits from the Louisville Trust
Company and deposit their funds
in the Natioual Bank of Commerce
at Fifth and Main streets, which
recently declined the cheap labor
of Europe" for the native Negro
laborer. a number of intelligent
colored men met at 446 South
Eighth street last night and pass
ed resolutions calling on colored
people to do their banking at the
Bank of Commerce and to organ
lze to resist the eruption of the
Greek" Many Southern white
people here are taking sides with
the colored people in the move
mcnt from their knowledge sof the
trustworthiness of the average Ne
gro and the uncertainty of the
modern Greek.
The National Window Cleaning
Co., Greek corporation with head
quarters on Fifth street, near Green
has succeeded in getting many
stores to use this "cheap service"
These Greeks hope to get foot
hold in the city as servants
and finally hope to work up and
mix with the best classes of
white people. Several gentlemen
are busy taking a list of the places
of business that employ Greek
help with the intention of boycott.

MISSIONARY
WORK IN
AFRICA

The spirit of missionary work
among the Africans in Africa is
far from dead among the white
church workers of the United
States and Europe, especially
Great Britain. Not long ago a
large number of white lnissionar-
les left Philadelphia for foreign
fields of labor, some to asia and
some to Africa, but the most part
for Asia: last week seven other
whites left Philadelphia for Brit
ish East Africc, German East At
RIGA and the Belgian Congo, where
with the permission of the direct
ing Governments, they will at
tempt to spread the Gospel of
Christianity among the savage Ne
groes of the Kikuyn, Nasal Akam-
ba tribes" The missionaries gath
cred at Philadelphia from various
sections of the United States.
The American Board of Foreign
Missions, with headquarters in
Boston, was organized IN 1910,
and Is the oldest foreign mission
ary society in the United States.
During its one hundred years of
work it has sent out $500 mission
aries, of whom some 6l0 are now
in service, and expended $40,l61,-
7SY. 1t has workers in East Cen
tral, Southern and West Central
Africa. Nearly all of the white
churches in the United States
have we'll established foreign mis-
sionary departments or contribute
to the work through other Boards,
1t is not possible to estimate the
incalculable value of missionary
work done for the redemption of
Africa alone, but some idea may
he had of it from the statistics OF
converts to Christianity now Ill
Africa, as follows: African Gath
olics, 2,655,920; African Protes-
tants, 1,7440S0. This is small
showing as against the 36,0OO,0oo
African Mohamendams, in total
population of l27,ooo,ooO, but it
NAV well be taken as "the little
Ieayen that leaveneth the whole
lump" 1t represents a century of
hard work and untold sacrifice.
The end of the presnt century may
show larger Christian than Mo-
hammendan population in both
Africa and Asia, who have been
denied the full powers of the Faith
since the first century, A. d.
The various African church de-
nominations in the United States
have foreign missionary depart
ments and are doing work In Atrl-
ca which is yet in its infancy and
results. The African Methodist

Washington, ID. c., Jan. ID
The Negro is already reaping some
of the results from a Demoratic
administration For over twenty
years during the time that the Re-
publicans had control of the gov
ernment, Congress has made Il
generous appropriation to the
Hampton Institute. A Democrat
ic Congressman from Texas who is
chairman of the Committee on In
dian Affairs in the House of Rep
Iesentatives, objected to appro
priating money to school where
Indians and Negroe were taught
in the same class room. He took
the ground that Indians should
not be permitted to associate with
Negroes on terms of social equality
hence the appropriation which has
continued for so many years under
Republican control has been with
drawn. 1t is presumed that the
Negro Democrats are satisfied in
seeing their race thus insulted
but the end, it is feared, is moi
yet.

HOG[IED AND THEN
BEATEN TO Deaf H

Montgomery, Ala, Jan IL
Federal District Attorney Warren
S. Reese has made public the story
of a brutal and horrible crime
which was told him by Mrs. Alice
Carson, of Dallas County, whose
husband, Charles Carson, was hog
tied and beaten to death on the
night of Decem Der 20, and his mu-
tilated body buried in a cabbage
crate. Mrs. Carson has appealed
to the Federal authorities for pro-
lection, fearing for her life if she
should ever enter Dallas County
again. District Attorney Reese
is unable TO interfere. as the
crime took place outside of his
district.
The story related by Mrs Car
son in the District Attorneys of
flee is a tale of fiendishness prob
ably unrivaled by any that has ev-
er taken place in Alabama in the
past She stated that her hus-
band was a renter on the planta-
tion of Bruce Hanes, prominent
farmer in Dallas County. Carson
was formerly employed at the
Louisville and Nashville shops in
Montgomery. where he bore a
good record. Her head bound in
cloths beneath which was the edge
of an ugly scar, which she said
was inflicted by blow from
pistol butt in the hands of one of
the white men when she pied for
her hus bands life, Mrs. Carson
sat fearful and pathetic figure
relating the story of the crime TO
District Attorney Reese. She said
that between eleven and
twelve o'clock on the night of
December 20, five white men came
to her home. After shooting
through the door they demanded
that Charlie Carson get up and
let them in. She said that her
husband recognized one of the
voices and thinking that he would
give him protection told her to let
them in. They dragged the Ne
gro man from his bed and carried
him into the yard where they tied
his hands aud feet and then plac-
ing stick back of his knees
bound his two hands to the ends
of it, bending his body into
STOPPING position.
Mrs. Carson said that they be-
gan beating him with a heavy
buggy trace interspersing their
blows with kicks in his side which
crushed in his ribs, causing them
to pierce through his body and
become visible through the streaks
OF bleed that flowed from the op-
enings. She stood by and plead
for mercy when she said one of
the men struck her hard blow in
the forehead with his pistol in the
forehead and told her to hush.
He then took the trace and beat
her on the back, the scars IF
which she exhibited to the dis
trict attorney.

Episcopal Church maintains two
bishops in Africa-Bishop j AL
bert johnson in South Africa and
Bishop William II. Heard in West
Africa Bishop johnson has been
active in his field ever since his
election five years ago, and reports
good and growing work, while ill
health has kept Bishop Heard in
the United States and away from
his work the greater part of the
time. This is much to be regret
ted, as the work to be done is very
great and urgent in its claims up
on those who have put their hands
to the plow." 1t is true the white
Methodist Episcopal Church also
has white Bishop, DR.. Hartzell,
and a Negro Bishop III West Af-
RIGA, DR.. Isaac B. Scott, but the
latter also spends as much if not
more time in the United States
than in West Africa, if we are cor
rectly informed.
The Age favors the election of
native African churchman for the
work in Africa, and we believe all
of the African denominations in
the United States will ultimately
adopt that policy, as being best for
the work. We put emphasis up
on the statement that the Negroes
of the United States are vitally IN
terested in the growth of great
English speaking Protestant Ne
gro empire il Africa, such as LII
IBERIA is capable of becoming, and
we say so because coming events
cast their shadows before - New
York Age.

Chicago,-The United States
circuit court of appeals has de-
cided that the heirs of twenty
eight Negro stevedores, who were
killed in a naptha explosion on the
steamer Tiogo in the Chicago riv-
er twenty three years ago, are en-
titled to $4,000 damages. Ev-
cry direct heir of the identified
dead, either has died or disappear
ed. The steamship company
wound up its affairs years ago.
The attorneys who defended the
case and the lawyers who prosecu-
ted it, are dead. The case, Brux-
ton VS.. Union Steamship company,
was one of the oldest pending Fed
eral cases in Chicago, in which
there had only been one appeal At
torney, Charles Furthmann, son of

won the case. 1t is said there will
be an opportunity for their heirs
of the dead to collect damages, if
any can be located. The company

A delegation representing the

ton and the Northwestern Research
club. presented q petition to the coun.
Gil committee on public utilities. Fri.
day afternoon. pleading for better
service on the Fourteenth street car
line. The petitioners want the car
capacity on that line almost doubled
during the morning and evening rush
hours, to take care OF the crowds now
compelled to fight their way into
crowded cars. The present service is
intolerable. the petitioners said.
The delegation presented it's case
in very thorough and business-lik
manner. Reports OF paid watchers.
signed affidavits and the observations
OF the members Of the delegation
were given to the aldermen. The
general gist Of the reports, observa.
tions and affidavits was to the effect
that the cars are not operated fire..
quently enough, are often cold, dirty
and crowded, and that the service is
frequently interrupted. especially dur.
ing the rush hours when the people
are hurrying to and from work
Harry Bullen, d. U. X. superinten-
dent, and A. d. B. Van Zandt, public
agent. represented the company in
the hearing. In reply to the vigorous
kick registered by the delegation.
Supt. Bullen consumed considerab BILE
time in explaining the difficulties en-.
countered in operating large rail
way system, the unusual conditions
the company had to meet in handling
the factory crowds and the desire on
the part of the d. u. r. to please all
it's patrons.
Bullen said that the cars operated
on the WoOdward-ave. line are as
good az any in the country. and that
the cars on the Fourteenth line are
as serviceable as the average car
found in any city in the United States.
He cleverly parted questions and In
soothing tones. told the committee
and the delegation that the company
would carefully Investigate" the
complaint for the purpose Of better
ing conditions on that line.
He blamed the city's prosperity for
the crowded street car conditions,
pointing out tina. all the factories
big and small. are operating full force
and that thousands upon thousands OF
workers poured out OF these factories
between and o'clock in the even.
Ing. most OF them swarming onto the
street cars. In the morning, he ex'
planned. the company was able to
take better care of the crowds be-
cause the workers left their homes at
different periods. Also Supt. Bullen
remarked that at present the COM
pany's agreement with the city Is not
such that II can borrow money to
