MANS WIFE.

In obedience to the summons of the
Crime monster Mrs. Harvey e. Gar
man departed this life Saturday. 2srd
inst, death being due to heart trou-
bles. A faithful and devoted wife,
painstaking in her efforts in catering
to the happiness of her home her loss
will be keenly felt by her husband,
other relatives and friends to whom
she was greatly attached. The Ex-
Senator, who is popularity known, hay
ing given his services to the state at
a time when they were specially
needed, and now editor of the United

sympathy, to which the Colorado
Statesman subscribes, commencing
him to the consolation of the All-see-
ing One Who makes the wounded
spirit whole and calms the troubled
breast. Funeral services were held
from Olinger's parlors at 2:3O D. m.

quite a number attending. Several
foreigners are taking advantage of
their opportunity to gain an English

should do so more generally than they

you are forced from circumstances to
occupy a menial position. Do not frit.

The Statesman wonders what is the
matter with the boys of Denver. II
is rare thing to see a colored boy OF
our fair city selling papers on the

bition. Get move on you, boys, and
girls, and show little energy.

INFORMATION WANTED.

Denver, Colo, October 26th, 1915.
To the Editor
| Having had at least twenty in
quiries last Saturday and Sunday
about the fair held Oct. 9Th and 10th
at Dearfield, and why no mention was
made of it in your issue of last Sat
urday, allow me to ask you a few
questions for the edification of all
| concerned
Has it not been your custom to
speak continuously upon race pride
The uplift of the Negro Race? The
betterment of the Negro in America?
The patronizing of Colored enter
prises? Then may | ask you, as
have been continuously asked, why no
mention of the fair was given in your
paper last Saturday? Yet, when ever
a prize fight, a dance, or some So
called social what-not' is given there
is great space taken up about the
| said affair, the costumes worn, etc.
Do we call these affairs the uplifting
| of the Colored race, and the better
ment of the Negro in America? No,
By no means does this uplift the race.
Yet, when few Negroes, who having
colon1Zed strip of land, and are
making good, and are beginning to
see their way to prosperity, endeavor
to get together to show the citizens
of Denver the real road to the better
ment of the Negro, and the uplifting
of the race, by giving a farm exposi-
| ton, and securing special rates from
| the railroad to the said fair, no men,
tion of it in your paper last week and
no interest shown by a representa-
tive being sent from Denver, to see
how the few members of the race are
progressing in Dearfield, Colo. To
secure better race unity and help one
another, let the people stick together
as the citizens of Dearfield have, and
then we can talk in good truth of race
pride, unity, progress and the uplift
| of the Negro race.
HARVEY E. PAGE.
The writer of the above letter in
his anxiety. to get a reply would not
wait on us, but answers the questions
himself, fearing possibly our reply
would be just and fitting one. 1t
can be easily determined that he
thinks an injustice is done him by not
mentioning about the Dearfield fair,
and so hurt does he feel that he
imagines twenty others are with him.
At this time we can only inform
Harvey Page that if we had his name
on our list of subscribers he would
surely have read articles in our
columns from time to time boosting
for Dearfield colony and its colonists,
and especially it's founder. Recipro-
city is the order of the day, which
carries with it very successful results,
and if men like Page would either in
dividually or collectively help to
strengthen or contribute to our foun-
dation being intact we would surely
be financially positioned to send our
representative to such events and de-
vote page in giving a graphic des-
cription. There are people around
and about us who never consider the
value of the press until it's use is con-
venient to them, and while we thank
Mr. Page for his instructions on how
to secure better race unity and help
to one another, we must remind him
of his creed DO as l say, but not
as l do" Remember, brother, CHAR

Dawson News, Sept. IS: The launch Hazel B. left at daylight this morning for the long trip up the Pelly river with a party of prospectOIs who will spend the winter searching for gold. They will be landed at Ross river, and will scatter from that point. The launch will return direct from Ross. Captain William Cowley is skipper, Matt Nunan is pilot, and Binkley is engineer. The prospectors are o. Statsberg, William Yarnson, John Hagstrom, Arthur Roi and Peter St. Laurent.
 Several other prospectors went up the Pelly on a previous trip of the Hazel B. earlier this season. and have scattered. Some planned to go up 10 Hoole canyon and pos sibly beyond toward Francis lakes, to lock for gold.
 Others made up a little party to 30 over the hills toward the Mac kenzie to a place where an Indian reported he had found what looked like gold. Men from the locality say that the alleged strike was nothing over which anyone should become excited or stampede, and that probably something definite will be known about the matter when the first party returns to RO,s, which may be before spring.
 Cold prospects are found quite generally over the Peny valley, and it is firmly believed by many old-timers that good gold streams yet vii! be located in the vast basin

COOPERATION OF
 TOWN AND FARM
What Rock HiII, s. G., Has
 Accomplished,
A COMMUNITY MEETING.

By Active Development Work, Carried
 on by Industrial and. Surrounding
 Agricultural Interests, the Wealth and
 Population of Small Southern Town
 Have More Than Doubled In a Decade.
 Cooperation Is the watchword in the community of which Rock Hill, S. C., is the center. The slogan. Rock Hill Is a Good Town" was adopted several years ago when the business men in that thriving little village decided to get together and make city. As re- suit of this determination to cooperate in development work, Rock Hlll's wealth and population have more than doubled during the past decade. This cooperative spirit Is not confined to the corporate limits of the city or to the 12.GOO inhabitants, but has grad ually spread among the rural residents in every direction from the city. At the present time the agricultural and industrial interests are working hand In hand for the growth and develop ment of both city and country In every way.
 The truth of the above mentioned condition was thoroughly demonstrated recently when the farmers living in the country adjacent to Rock Hill held picnic at which the members of the chamber of commerce and their faml- lies were the special guests. More than 5000 people gathered at the spa clous picnic grounds in large and beautiful grove about two miles from the city to enjoy the unique occasion. A spirited address of welcome was made

 A most pleasing feature of this meet ing was the absence of any suggestion of politics. The chairman introduced as the first speaker of the morning Hon. Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, which has done so much toward the agricultural and Industrial development of the sections in its territory. Mir. Harrison made an address on the subject, Agriculture In the Piedmont Counties of South Caro- linG," in which he discussed very ably the many problems confronting the agricultural south and the part the business men would play in bringing the south into its own. The speaker went on to stress the importance of the work in live stock that W. w. Long, state agricultural agent, had done and was doing, and asked for more cooperation around Rock Hill similar to that of a local bank which invested S1,50O In thoroughbred Here ford bulls. to be placed free of charge among the farmers throughout the county.
 The next speaker was L. A. Niven, editor of the Southern Farming Maga- zine, who discussed marketing in its several aspects as relating to the prod uctS of the southern farm.
 Another address of great value to those present was delivered by David R. Coker of Hartsville on the subject, "The Importance of Good Seed" Mir Coker spoke from experience, as he has been engaged for fifteen or twen- ty years in conducting a pedigreed seed farm, and his success in this work has given him southwide reputation.
 These were the only speakers at the morning session.
 After an hour or two intermission the band called the crowd together again, and E. D. Smith, junior senator of South Carolina, addressed the as semblage on problems confronting the south and the nation. The last speech was made by Congressman D. E.
