COLORED LABOR
IS COMPLIMENTED

Lafayetteville, N. G., Dec. 90
Ten of the Ashley and Baily silk
mills were recently put up at auc-
ton and sold. The home Office of
these mills is located in Paterson,
N. j. There are five plants in
New Jersey, four in Pennsylvania
and one in Fayetteville. Some
remarkable statements about the
colored labor employed in the local
mill here have been made by the
owners, which puts the Negro la
borerer in most favorable light.
In complimenting the Negro one
of the proprietors declared: "It
can be truthfully said of the labor
at the Fayetteville mill that it is
better bred, better behaved, more
industrious, more elastic and with
all Of this it is more cleanly."
This statement was made in a
comparison with labor in Other
parts of the State. There are be-
tween four hundred and five hun
dred colored boys and girls en-
ployed in the mill at Fayetteville,
The physician who has charge OF
the medical service says that with
the exception of two vaccinations
no other medical attention has
been necessary for months. Fur
thermore the mill has been prac-
tically free from accidents, which
exceptional record speaks well OF
the skill of the Negro laborers.
In various sections of the State
silk and cotton mills are being
erected where skilled colored labor
will be used.

Westinghouse, 15.-The con-
test between the white and Negro
lodges of Knights of Pythias in
Tennessee over the use of the or
ganization name came to a close
today when the white lodges in
formed the supreme court that
their contention that decision in
the Tennessee courts gave them
exclusive right to use the name
was erroneous. Their action was
based propably upon a decision of
the supreme court last year in a
contest between white and Negro
lodges in Georgia.

RED CANDY
AND VERMIFUGE

buffalo, N. Y, Commercially
Booker 7. Washington writes in
the November Worlds Work: "At
one time when | was young boy
working in the coal mines of West
Virginia, | came out of the mine
after a hard days work feeling
tired, sick and discouraged. A
neigh Dor, wishing to cheer me up
and make me feel better, offered
me a large red stick of candy.
That candy looked good to me and
l took it eagerly. My mother, who
knew my condition and my needs,
told me that it was not candy that
| needed, but a good dose of ver-
mifuge, which is about the worst
tasting and smelling medicine, l
firmly believe, that was ever con-
cocted. However, it was in gen.
eral use in those days for almost
every real and imaginary ailment.
In fact, vermifuge was about the
only medicine on sale at that time
II the coal mining districts of West
Virginia.
Contrary to my mothers advice
| took the candy and put the ver-
mifuge aside. The next day 1
came out of the coal mine feeling
no better, and the next day | was
still worse. Finally l decided to
follow the advice Of mother and
take my medicine. So [ threw
back my head and held my nose
while my mother forced the nasty
stuff down with a large spoon.
The next day, however, [ felt fine
Now in my experience in work
ing with my race found that the
Negro meets with two classes of ad.
vlsors each of which is equally
well-meaning and kindly disposed.
One class of advisers hands him
the red candy and the other offers
the vermifuge Very often it has
been a hard task for me to make
certain kinds of colored people see
that it is the vermifuge the race
needs rather than the candy. Still
the Negro is learning this lesson,
and nothing gives me more gen.
uine satisfaction at the present
time than to note that the great
of my race in every part of
the country are willing to take the
vermifuge in place of the red
candy.

world. In the past fifty years,
to a great extent, we have merely
drifted with the tide of human
progress. But human races do not
drift far or long in this world,
Oblivion soon overtakes those
who do not exert themselves and
become a potent force for good
in the world s civilization, wheth-
er individuals, races or nations.
In the next fifty years the Negro
is called upon to do most i'm
portant work. Our general con-
ditions at present are humble and
lowly, and not even medium in
| races in America who are in touch
with the tide of human progress
By self-assertion and self-im-
provement we are now being
called upon to make the future
bright and secure. Many recent
events plainly indicate that we are
being left entirely to our own re-
sponsibility, and that we shall rise
or fall upon the exercise of our
own genius. We are face to face
with the most trying demands OF
the world s stern realities and the
Negroes highest and most sober
qualities are now called upon to
meet the conditions through which
we must pass. Incidence and vice
are the two greatest dangers that
menace us. With them overcome,
we have qualities and virtues to
compete with the balance of hui
manity. We are slowly gaining a
foothold in the industrial and
commercial world. Negro brains
and Negro genius are beginning
to indicate the glorious possibil-
tiles of vast unsuppressable fu-
ture in the world of letters and
art. We have Negro soldiers of
glorious promise. But with all of
our prospects, we are confronted
and burdened with racial preju-
dice that must be beaten down
and overcome. 1t feeds upon our
vices and glories in our Incidence,
but every high and noble achive-
ment of ours is a trust at its most
vital parts. To the Negroes of
America we would say that the
most vital duty of the coming
year and the present hour is an
unending crusade against our
own great weaknesses, for with
them removed our future sue
cesses cannot be dimmed or
stayed. Let vice and crime and
Incidence and inaction and every
form of worthlessness existent
among us be no longer spared be-
cause of our sorry past or for any
other reason, but let the good of
our race and the glory of God
start us and keep us upon course
that shall strengthen and increase
our virtues until the Negro shall

Chicago, Ill Dec. 23.-The fun
eral of Maj. John G. Buckner, who
died Wednesday, December II, al

Fully 10000 people were pres

THE NEW
YEAR

Last Thursday was the begin
ming of the new year, 1914. There
is nothing important in the be-
ginning or ending of new year,
the occasion only serves for gen
eral review of human experiences
and human achievements. In the
general plan of the universe, time
goes on, marked only by days and
seasons, all other chronology be-
ing history and mark their com
mercial intercourse. We live ap-
parently without regard for time,
but with every regard for world
ly conditions, and thus the life
and the acts of every human be-
ing are just as important to the
general purposes of the world as
those of any other human being.
This is why thoughtful. men and
women, the advisers of humanity,
grow serious and urge every NOR
tai to spend his life always for
the best. Among the millions and
millions of created beings, an in
dividual seems to be an insignlfl-
cant part, but after all he is an
actual and considerable part OF
the whole, and must leave some
mark upon the conditions into
which he was born. Life must be
purposeful and intended for i'm
provement Everything about us
denotes that it is not for pastime
or waste. The paths of individ-
uals, races or nations should be
ever upward. The world s history
becomes higher and better. More
than one hundred years ago, when
the nineteenth century began, the
Negro race in America was in
slavery and hardly dreamed OF
the possibility of emancipation.
At the close of the century slav-
cry was almost tradition, and by
far the greater portion of the race
knows of its baneful curse only
through the chronicles of history,
the strange accounts of the elder
people, or the marks and scars
of lowly conditions which the
dread institution left behind. In
the fifty years that have passed
since emancipation a new Negro
race has come upon the plane of
action, along with a new Cauca
sion race, and to us all the pres
ent is far removed from the gen.
Grafton gone before. But the Ne
gro of the slavery day was made
of good stuff or else we would not
have made the improvement
which we know we have made.
And just so upon all depends
the strength, the worth and the
ability of the American Negro of
the present century and the dis
tant future, and none can tell but
that we may influence the future
of the Negro race throughout the

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. ~
Social conditions in the United
States are tending to develop in
the Negro a racial consciousness
and to organize a Negro national
ity, declared Robert f, Park, pro-
fessor of sociology at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, today before the
American Sociological Society,
which is meeting here jointly with
the American Economic associa-
ton. Professor Park spoke on
'Racial Assimilation Within Sec
ondaly Groups"
The nationalizing tendency
among the Negroes of this country
is the result of the white mans os-
tracism of his black brother"
Professor Park said. He criti-
cised the public utterances of Sen
ator Vardaman of Mississippi and
Governor Blease of South Carolina.
STATE HAS DUTY
Continuing he said:
ga race which has attained the
character of nationality may still
retain its loyalty to the state of
which it is a part, but only insofar
as that state incorporates, as ar in
tegral part of its organization, the
practical interests, the aspirations
and the ideals of that nationality.
"In the South, the race seems to
be tending in the direction of a BIZ
racial organization of society In
which the Negro is gradually gain
ing limited autonomy.
at is hard to estimate the net
effect of the white mans isolation
of the Negro. One of the most
important effects has been to es-
tablish a common interest among
all the different colors and classes
of the race. This sense of solidar-
ity has grown up gradually with
the organization of the Negro peo-
Pile.
at is stronger in the South
where segregation is more CON-
plete than it is in the North, where,
twenty years ago.. it would have
been safe to say that it did not
exist. Gradually, imperceptibly,
within the larger world of the
white man, smaller world, the
world of the black man, is silently
taking form.
OLD SPIRIT EXISTS
No doubt kindly relations be-
tween the individual members of
the races do exist in the South,
and to an extent not known in the
North. AS rule, it will be found
that these kindly relations had
their origin in slavery. The men
who have given the tone to politi-
cal discussion in the Southern
states in recent years are men who
did not own slaves"

Mr.. and Mrs. James Tarpy were
down from Pawnee Rock last Frida,
on a shopping trip and for a visit
with relatives and friends. Mr.. Tarpy
reports that it is beginning to ee,
pretty dry up in his part of the conn
try and that the wheat and surire
crops are going to need some mo;s.
tlre in a short time. Jim is one of
the big farmers Of the Pawnee Rock
community and last season estimated
that with any kind Of a good crop
year he would have ten thousand
bushels Of wheat to sell. Instead Of
that he had Just wheat enough left
to SOW the land again and have a FEW
bushels left over for chicken feed
and did not have a pound left to sell.
Consequently Jim says he can use a
good crop this year about as well as
the next fellow and his many friends

does not meet with another disap.
