PROHIBITION IN ALABAMA.

The disastrous effects of statewide
prohibition on the finances of Ala
bama were fortunately put on record
during the recent campaign for gov
ernor in that state. Hon. b. b. Conner
was the great apostle of prohibition
down there, and became governor on
that issue. He was succeeded by EN-
met O'Neal an anti-state-wide prohibi-
ZIONIST, and under the O'Neal admin
istration the statewide law was re-
pealed.
Under the administration of Gov
ernor O'Neal conditions morally and
financially were very greatly i'm
proved So great was this improve
ment that the voters of the state have
refused, on two different occasions
this year, to trust prohibitionists with
official responsibility. Congressman
Hobson undertook to defeat Oscar I'm
derwood for the United States Senate
on platform declaring for nation
wide prohibition. He was defeated
himself In this undertaking by a ina
jority of more than $4,000 votes.

There are some persons who think
that race antipathy, in the sense oil
"a dislike for the unlike and an
aversion from social contact and a
-epugnance toward race intermixture.
has served and still serves good
purpose, is a comment of Daniel
Evans in the Boston Globe.
In the first place it is claimed that
race antipathy has served the purpose
Of keeping the blood of a race pure,
and thus securing its superiority. This
claim presupposes that one race is
superior to another by its very con-
stitutional endowments, and, there
Tore, the superior and the inferior
races are kept apart by race antipathy.
Again, it is held by others, on far
better grounds, that race antipathy
has served to preserve the life OF
races. The various races once lived
largely in a hostile environment. They
were obliged to be on guard always
against foes. War was their main
business, and suspicion the rule of
their life. Race antipathy at this
level was the fighting instinct and
made for race preservation.
Once more, it is maintained by
others that race antipathy has made
for the conservation of particular cul-
tural values. These values are held
to be dependent upon certain races
not only for their production, but also
for their conservation.
Now it may be admitted that race
antipathy has served, very largely, to
keep the races separate, but it is quite
evident that 1t has failed in millions
Of instances in our land and elsewhere
In the world and in all periods of his
tory. Wherever there has been inter
mixture of races, through Illicit inter-
course, there antipathy has failed.
Where it is desirable. at present, to
keep members of widely divergent
races from intermarriage, it is better
to create moral barriers, those OF rea-
son and character, than to depend
upon race antipathy. And where it is
desirable that members of races more
closely allied should intermary, race
antipathy may hinder race virility,
diversity and progress. Thus race
antipathy is inadequate for restraint.
at the lower levels, and on the higher
levels it may prove detrimental to
civilization.
In like manner, we may .-dmit that
race antipathy has made for race
preservation at one level End under
certain conditions, without being
forced to concede that it is necessary
now. We are on higher level, and
race preservation is better secured
through reason and character than
through mutual aversion. TIE mem
Der of a prosecuted race or a racial
group or a backward race is better
protected today by its moral charac'
ter and the conscience of humanity.

lists of Alabama rallied around him in
their last effort to regain power.
Thus the issue was clearly made
between local option and statewide
prohibition. The people had seen both
in operation and were therefore in po-
sition to decide for themselves which
was the better temperance measure
The candidates went before the peo.
pie on this record, and Conner the
state-wider, was defeated by Hender-

Falling or jumping down a 55-foot
well on the farm of his father. the
four-year-old son of B. Frank Minch
near Beebe Run, showed such pluck
and courage that his rescue was ac
complished after an exciting half-houI
of work by brave negro farm hand
The lad was playing with other chill
dren when some of them dared him
to get into the box about the pump
used for lowering cream and milk into
the well to keep cool. Then he either
fell or, under the stimulus of the dare,
Jumped the rest of the way.
The children gave the alarm ano
help was quickly at hand. The colored
farm hand climbed down the we'll by
bracing his feet against the brick
walls, and then he lowered clothes
line to the lad, who all that time had
clung coolly and courageously to the
pump box and kept his head above
the water, though how he managed
to grasp the pump in his fall is mys.
terry. The child made the line fast tc
his little body, and was being raised
when the line broke and he fell back
He still grabbed the pump box, and a
stronger line finally got him to the
surface in safety.-Shiloh On. j. dis

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

Among the conclusions reached by
Mr. Alexander Belts OF South Caro-
lima, principal of the Belts academy,
was that fiocking to town was funda-
mentally bad for the negro. lie con
stantly affirmed that the best place
for the colored man was on the land
as a tiller of the soil. He was also
certain that labor on the land should
be intelligently performed. therefore
the young men and women of the race
should be educated according TO their
practical needs. Opportunities for
such education existed after fashion
in the towns and cities. According
to the Bettis theory of the fitness
of things, sending young people from
the country to be educated TO work on
the farms was logically foolish and
morally mischievous. Reasoning in
rather a straight line, this preacher
concluded that the thing to do was to
bring adequate educational opportuhi-
ty to the people of the country.
He knew that his theory was right,
but applying it was not easy. Belts
believed that part of the business of
gencies and throw them off the track.
Manifestly the first thing TO do was
to make a beginning This he did
by securing enough land for a nu-
cleus. This negro preacher knew his
own limitations, and that he did not
know how to manage an educational
institution. His next step was to Sc
lect and equip two young men for this
task. They were sent first to the
Schofield Normal and Industrial insti-
tute at Aiken, one of the first schools
established in the South for the ed
ucation of the negro. Then they took
courses in Atlanta university. One
of them died soon after Belts acad-
emy was started.
Twenty years ago the surviv'
ing young man, Alfred w. Nicholson
took charge of the institution, and
ever since then the story of success
in individual equipment and land de
velopment clusters around this man
and his wife.
The plant of Belts academy has
been a growth like Topsy. From the
small beginning of one primitive build
ing the plant has expanded into clus
ter of buildings, plain, to be sure, but
suited, if not adequate, to the sub
stantial educational work which the
school fosters.

We pray Thee, to establish liberty and

pairing the way of Thy Kingdom.

The heroism, of the negro bellboysi
who fought with suffocating clouds OF
smoke while they rushed through mar
row Railways, banging upon doors
arousing guests and rescuing small
children, probably averted serious loss
of life In a fire of mysterious origin
which threatened to completely de-
stroy the Hotel Islesworth at Atlantic
City, N. j.
Over three hundred guests suffered
heavy losses by the blaze, which swept
through practically the whole of the
fourth floor of the big, rambling frame
structure.
sWhile the fire was at its height
dense clouds of smoke swept into the
dance hall on the Garden pier, three
squares away, where an audience OF
fully 1000 people, including guests OF
the Islesworth, who knew nothing OF
the blaze at their stopping place, were
enjoying moving picture show. Some
one yelled fire and the audience
promptly stampeded for the doors. In
the intense excitement in the dark
ened hall forty women tainted and sew
eral were trampled on, while the
panic.stricken audience tried to reach
the exits.

DEFICIT.
