This high compliment did not cause
MFR. Winn to let mp in his efforts to Ger
the best results.
He is n prod,u't of the Prairie View
State Normal college. which is proud
Df this former students success. Be
ing satisfied that he had been divine
ly called of God to preach the gos-
pei. Mr.. VIM after teaching for -sev-
eral years abandoned this profes-
sion aud entered the ministry In 1902
under the administration of the late
Bishop SaIter. Eight years of his life
were spent in the Texas conference.
and his first appointment was in the
pines Of east Texas. where he labOred
most earnestly for the advance of the
religious life of his people. To say
the least those were years OF much
trial, of gaunt hunger and poverty. yet
In all Of this he stood as the mighty
oak in the forest, unyielding in his pur
pose to do his full duty. After suffer
ing almost to the point Of human en-
durance he was then assigned to Eava
sofa. Tex. a charge Of about twenty
members.
The church was repaired and painted
OH the inside and seated with hun
6rpd nice chairs and left in n flourish
ing condition. He was then assigned
to Hearne. Tex. 'station). where he
also spent three years to the satisfac-
tion OF the people. There he raised
money. paid off some outstanding ac-
counts. repaired the parsonage and put
a picket fence around the church and
Jslrsonage. ut IL cost OF about $50.
In 1910 he was transferred by Bishop
Tyree to the northeast Texas confer
tnce and stationed ut the above named
charge. where lie is now winding up
his fourth year in Il most satisfactory
manner to his people. Here DR.. Winn
has stI'iren hard in raising means to
erect Il new church editice. He has
raised something like $1,000 for that
purpose and kept the current expense
of the charge intact.
AS pulpiteer he ranks with the
best. He is held in high esteem by
both black and white. and his word
stands good for whatever he wants

1t was in March. 1907. that he re-

NORTH AND SOUTH PAIRED.

National Association Conducts Novel
Political Campaign on Race Question.
The following news story is sent out
by the press committee of the National
Association For the Advancement of
Colored People:
May Childs Nerney. Secretary. 70 Fifth
Avenue. New York:
New York, Oct. 23, 1914.-To define tho
probable attitude OF the next congress on
the Negro the National Association For
the Advancement of Colored People sent
out the following questions TO all candi-
dates for congress in the Republican.
Democratic and Progressive parties:
F,irst.-Win you. il elected. vote against
any measure abrogating the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments?
Second.-Wil YOU, il elected. vote
against (a) segregation in the federal
service, tb) residential segregation in the
District of Columbia tc) segregation in
: jimcrow cars in the District Of Columbia?
Third.-Regardless of whether you ad-
vocate racial intermarriage. will you op-
pose the passage of a law making such
marriage in the District of Columbia in
valid. since the enactment by states OF
such laws has led to the degradation Of
Negro women and children?
Fourth.-Do you under any circum-
stances justify iynching?
Fifth.-Do you favor tie enforcement
of clause of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution?
The candidates who replied expressed
varying opinions. from the Pennsylva-
mia Democrat who believes in an "edi-
cational test for suffrage and Is opposed
to Inch law" to the Kentuckian who
warns the association that the people
Of Kentucky have right to ask such
questions. but that the National asso-
citation has not.
A very few state that they believe
in lynching under some circumstances.
but the majority are emphatically oD
posed to it. Many would vote against
law prohibiting intermariage. stat
ing that they would not vote to make
any womanS children illegitimate.
Comparatively few candidates believe
in segregation in government service.
but some favor residential segrega ton
and the jimcrow car. Except in the
south there is general belief in en-
forcing the amendments and in reduc
ing representation in those states
which have diSfranchised the Negro.

Executors Oppose Transfer Tax on
Percy NagIe's Report.

Sherman & Sterling or % Wall street
counsel for the executors of tho estate
OF the late Henry II Rogers. vice-presl-
dent OF the Standard on Company, who
died on May 10. 1903, filed In the Surro-
gates Court yesterday notice OF an APP
peal from the order fixing the amount
OF the transfer tax in accordance with
the report made by Transfer Tax Ap-
pralser Percy Nagle.
The appraisal filed with Mr.. Maggie by
the executors last January showed that
the estate amounted to Si70i9950S7,
against which there were debts aud claims
which would reduce II 10 S40,53S,612. At
that time II was thought that the estate
would he larger than that because of tho
possibility OF uncomplcted business yield
ing large returns,
Tho increase did not prove to he large,
however because the report OF the Trans
fer Tax Appraiser. filed In July last fixed
the value of the estate at $40, O09, O99,
which debts and other charges reduced
TO s40So6990 II "a now alleged by the
executors that the value Of securities held
by Mr. Rogers was greatly overestImated
especially those of the Virginia Railway
Company.
This company, formerly the Tdcwater
Company, was founded by Mr. Rogers.
lie used practically his entire resources
to keep the project going before his death
and got loans for II on many millions OF
dollars worth of his personal securities.
The road which is now successful, was
appraised at 10000. 900.
