Race FEELING.

The Pittsburg Dispatch quotes a
Negro preacher in Chicago as max
ing complaint of the enmity to the
Negro race caused by n conduct OF
Jack Johnson" The preacher is
quoted as specifying IAN instance
where ~thirtg-five colored employees,
whose services had been satisfactory,
were discharged because their EN-
ployers felt outraged by Johnson's
pranks." =
The Dispatch remarks by way OF
comment "Of course, this is rank
and stupid injustice with the sole nit
igation of not being so atrocious as
lynch law" Lynching, or mob vlo-
lence-the term mob law is a PARADOX
ical misnomer-is an evil without de-
tense, and excused by nobody except
some benighted people OF the Cole
Blease type One of the worst lynch
ings on record took place in Pennsyl-
vania of late years, but the sin is one
that weighs heaviest on the South
Yet. while it is a ract that Negro
offenders are too often summary
dealt with in the South, this section
is free from the folly and injustice
pointed out by the Chicago colored
preacher. No innocent Negroes were
aver discharged from employment in
the South because of the misdoings OF
one of their race with whom they
had no connection.
On nearly every occasion in the
Nr-4L .,Laro tbnro hoe hpnO q NnQTO
lynching the vengeance OF the mon
was manifested toward all the Ne
groes in the community. That sort
feeling has been rare in the South
The Southern whites permit no NE
gro equality" and in their relations to
the blacks they control. The crime
of a black man against a white mar
or woman is all too apt to provoke
violence on the part OF the whites, blu
il seldom is accompanied by any man
Hesitation of general race hatred. Or
the old terms that have always eX
listed between the races in the South
the whites and blacks continue friend
ly and interdependent.
The above from the Nashville Ban
ner is true only In part. Some
times the Negroes of a communit,
are not molested when one commit
a crime, but too often it is just tn
reverse. The South is all right, bu
she has mud on her skirts and plent
of it.

DR.. L. J. Johnson, pastor of st.

THE GREAT
PROMISE.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Long may you live to fight the bat
ties of the oppressed; to serve the
race in all that is elevating, noble
and honorable; may you cease not
to lift up your voice in the defence
of the right, in opposition to the
wrong; continue your labors in the
noble work of the vindication of a !
much afflicted race in all that is holy
and uplifting in life and never fail
to point it to God, the unerrlng
source of all human happiness. Most
truly is He the Rock of our saliva
tion, for God has promised great
things of Israel whereof we are
glad" Your evident effort to make
the Globe one of the best papers in
the country for the dissemination of
light and intelligence among the
masses; your truly laudable desire
to have "all men up, and no man
down" is as c~ommendable as it is
self-sacrif1cing. Continue in this
well-begun work and success must
come to you.
1t seems hardly possible, sir, for
you, in the present issue of the Globe,
to suppress or Guido your truly CON-
mendable edition of the holidays. It
was a great event in your history.
Your resources, however, are many,
your courage undaunted and your
perseverance unsurpassed. I there
fore feel that success is assured. We
should like to see the circulation Of
the Globe increased one hundred
per cent, and Columbia and Colum-
bians are standing ready and will
ing to hold up your arms and sup
port you in this great effort.
Only thou our leader be,
And we still shall follow thee.

Secret societies have been a bless
ing as we'll as a bane to our people.
The good, however, has greatly out
weighed the i'll. Lessons in co-ope-
ration have undoubtedly been the
most valuable of the secrets"
There is just now a great oppor-
tunity for our secret orders to be-
come a positive blessing to our peo-
pie. The enormous death rate is ap-
palling. 1t is in the power of u
secret societies to help this con-
dition. How? by utilizing our lodge
meetings as schools of instruction
An hour given M or twice a month
to the study of hygiene and SANTA
ton would be quite as interesting as
matters now discussed, and a deal
more profitable. Why not let the
good of the order" become a real
item on the program OF u meet
ings?" How can we preserve the
health and prolong the lives OF u
members?" ought to be as interest
ing and as important as who will
represent us in the next Grand
Lodge?" When we visit the sick
let us find if possible how we should
live to avoid like troubles ourselves.
The records of u lodges should
show for what diseases suck dues
have been paid; and how to avoid
these diseases should be discussed
for the good Of the order" Our
Endowment Department should inves-
tigate closely the causes Of death,
and separate sharply the necessary
from the avoidable deaths. The in
divldual lodges should be furnished
regularly with these facts quarterly
or semi-annually. There should be
a copy placed in the hands Of every
member, and how to lessen the mum
Der of necessary deaths, and to en-.
tirely eliminate avoidable deaths
should become live topics in oul
meetings. 1t would pay the Endow
ment Department to hire some com
petent person to prepare this litera
ture-a systematic and constructive
campaign along this line will not onl!
be for the good Of the order" bu
for the good of the race.
Sickness is a serious tax upon tn
energies of a race and a high death
rate forms an insurmountable barrie
to continued progress. Ill healtl
is a chain that will securely bin
the poor man to his poverty, an
handicap even a rich mans accom-
= plishment. Health is the first c
r earthly blessings and a long life j
the second. Wisdom and wealth

Community Interest.

Nashville is a growing city and has
become the one point in the South
on which the eyes of the nation are
centered. Much is being expected
of the citizens Of this city. It would
be we'll if every one, from the hum
blest to the highest, could realize
that they are a part Of this body and
that they have a duty to perform
to make it what it ought to be. There
are some communities in this city
in which the colored citizens predomi-
nate; where they own most Of the
land; we wish to speak specifically
of these.
Every one owes it to himself to be
interested in his community. He
should be concerned about every
thing that affects his community.
There is being organized in this city
community societies. All the PEG
pie should join this movement. Be
cause it affords an opportunity fo'
exchange Of opinion and for the cult
walton of friendly relations between
neighbors. In these communit,
meetings an opportunity presents II
self for a concerted action in every
thing that pertains to the genera
good. These meetings will develo
courageous citizens and will enabl
the people to ferret out everythin
Objectionable to the community an
move it out. This cannot be SUI

power and place, follow in their
train. If we are to lose a large per
cent of our college bred folks before
they are thirty and the majority of
our successful men before they pass
middle life, In vain we'll strive to
rise
Physical energy is the baiss of
worldly success, and the primary
need of our people to-day is to con-
serve their physical force. Our
educated people must live long
enough to pay back with interest the
price of their education. The col
lege bred man who dies at gradu-
alton, or soon thereafter, dies in
debt to society. If he dies through
his own ignorance or ~carelessness, he
absconds without paying his board
bill. He throws away other peo-
pies money.
Our successful men must live until
their successors are qualified, II we
are to hold our own and advance.
The thirtieth birthday marks the
summer solstice of the average mans
career. He should have at least
thirty active years from that date to
make and reap his rewards.
A high birth-rate is not a full com
~pensation for a high death-rate. The
energies of the race are exhausted In
merely trying to live and no strength
is left for improvement. How much
land could a farmer till if he broke
fresh horses every morning? He
could make no Roadway even If the
horses were given HIM and a race
that loses its prepared men and WON
en- prematurely cannot find compen
sation for the loss in a high birth
rate. The drain must be stopped
How? BY teaching our people tt
utilize all available opportunities tc
improve their physical condition

Will we not do it? Why not? If in
this respect our purpose is realized
then our object is gained and we are

the Fusion forces are in the saddle.
The people, however, are not con-

This glad theme the race will cherish
Through the ages yet to come.

How the letters now are broken,
And the God of Glory reigns.
Come. We children, do not linger,
Duty calls, why not obey?
