FAIR AMERICANS DE-
N0UNCE RACE HATRED.

Boston, Mass.-At a large
meeting held Sunday at Ire
mont Temple to protest
agains, the unfair treatment
of colored citizens by white
citizens, Moorheld Storey de-
clared that an org anize d
movement exists in this coun-
try SO keep the colored peo-
pie down.
Congressman Martin B.
Madden of Chicago declared
that there is just as much
Southern anti -colored control
in Congress today as before
the war, and they are just as
much rebel in their hearts.
The following resolut! o n S
were unanimously adopted:
We pledge our loyalty to
the republic of the United
States and to the great prin-
ciples for the perpetuation of
which it was conceived and
founded freedom and equal
opportunity for all.
Without animosity or ran :
cor, but firm in the belief
that protest is urgently need
ed. we protest against the at
tempts in the national Con-
gress by certain men from one
section of the country to ex-
tend through national laws
their unftmefican and sec
tional doctrines OF race hu-
initiation.
Segregation and Jim Crow
legislation will prevent no
evil and will only arouse Race
hatred.
Racial blood intermixture
between white people and col
ored people will never be pre-
vented by laws which punish
marriage and open the door
to immortality.
If this country is civilized it
should protect all women re-
gardless of color. The pro-
posed anti-marriage law is
merely a himsy pretense, the
sol Z result Of which would be
the protection of the white lib
ertine.
Resolved that these lesolu-
tons be printed. and copy
sent to each member of the
Sixty fourth Congress and to
the President.
The meeting was attended
by many prominent modern
abolitionists.

BRUCE GRIT
WRITES ON
HAITI.

From a racial point of view
it should be the ambition of
every American Negro to be
connected with some worthy
member of his Race in the
Black Republic of Haiti
that land where every Negro
is man in the broadest sense
of the term.
This opportunity VIII i c h
many will appreciate, is now
offered to Afro Americans in
the ". S. to enter into bust
ness relations with a worthy
member of the Race-Mr.
Theodore Stephens. c ape
Haitien, Haiti, who is dealer
in and exporter of the follow
ing produce Of the Haitian
soil: coffe. cocoa, honey. bees
4 wax, cane syrup, Gotten, cot
ton seeds. goatskins, lamb
skins. OK hides, manogany
boards and in crutches, etc.
AS is we'll known. Haiti
Coffee is among the finest and
best favored coffee in the
world, and commands very
high price in France. Holland
Germany. Switzerland and
other European countries.
where it is highly relished be-
yond the Brazilian grain.
Americans of the X a e
should patronize both the
product of Haiti and the bro :
ther who handles it. Try it.
it will pay you to do so.
Haitian cocoa: This pro-
duce. like all others of Haiti,
is cultivated on a very extern
sive scale and is shipped to
both America and Europe, in
the latter country it obtains a
remunerative figure. and is
always in high demand. In
our own America. Haitian CO.
Goa is also we'll known indeed,
too we'll known to need any
more recommendation. Still
on behalf Of our sister Repub-
lie, the men and women of
our race should familiarize
themselves with the merits of
this valuable delicious and
nutritive drink which. if i'm
ported from Haiti-a neigh
boring land of S and Ia days
run by steamer-will give a
very profitable return to bus
mess men. We should enter
minutely into details concern
ing the other products of the
Island Republic, but sufficient
to say for the present that
Haiti. ner people. her native
produce and the importation
of same into our American
trade should be patronizcd to
a great extent. Make a trial
and embrace the opportunity
of making money by commu- :
nicating with an exporter Of

In the tragic death OF c. NJ. b. Eel
ton OF Etam. Preston county has lost
one OF her most progressive farmers.
In spite of natural obstacles Mr.. Eel
ton had made his farm a model in
many respects. A diligent reader. he
did all of his work in most intelli-
gent manner. After attending farmers
week at MorgantOwn he took a cores
pondence course in agriculture last
winter. Along with a score of other
improvements he was preparing to
erect the first silo in his community
when he met his death. No one could
see his farm without at once recog-
nizing that very unusual man was IN
charge. In addition to being a most
progressive farmer and president of
the farmers club at Etam Mr.. FELTON,
was most noble Christian. A kind
father, he has reared a large family
who will perpetuate his good work for
years. A host of friends are left to
be inspired by the life of this good
man.
