Are You Looking Old!

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it, Some look
old at forty. That is because
they neglect the liver and bowels.
Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will
not Ouly feel younger but look
younger. When troubled with
constipation or biIiousness take
Chamberlaiu's Tablets. They
are intended especially for these
ailments and are excellent. Easy
to take and most agreeable in
effect. Obtaiuable everywhere.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

nenC OF SOlOfcO FcCplc.
1. It teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of it are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
2. It combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
5. It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social. civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations Of
life.
4. It believes in and teaches the doc
trine of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
s. It aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws
6. It is composed of members of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
An Appeal for Funds.

have united in asking that he be ele-
waited to the episcopacy because of his
worth to the church and race.
Greenville, Madison county, this
state, has the distinction Of furnishing
this noted churchman to his race and
the A M. e. denomination. His birth
dates back to Dec. IS, 1860. Like
many great men, he was born on the
farm and spent his early life as
farmer boy. When but lad he was
able to do the work Of a man and had
the confidence and love Of all the peo-
pie In the community.
He commenced his school life in the
public schools in the county and town
Of his birth, making rapid progress,
but was forced to leave school in order
to help to take care Of his mother, his
father having died when young Brooks
was thirteen months old. He was a
polite, studious and industrious boy
and showed signs of individual self
control. But this young man did not
lose sight Of the fact that he would
have to prepare for the higher things
in life which he craved and took every
advantage of every opportunity to get
an education.
1t was not long before Mr.. Brooks
was recognized as a diligent student
in the community, and at the age Of
nineteen years he accepted a school,
thus starting out in public life as
schoolteacher. He was teaching and
preaching at the same time.
The Rev. Mr.. Brooks was admitted
into membership in the conference In
Florida at Gainesville in 1890, but was
not given an assignment until 1891.
The Boardman mission was the first
charge he served, where he remained
one year, and from there was, in 1892,
assigned to Ybor City mission, Florida,
which is not far from Tampa. He
founded Allen temple at Tampa and
was soon afterward promoted by Pre-
siding Elder Rev. J. w. Duke to the
Cedanty circuit, and in 1894 he was as
signed to the Micanopy circuit. The
Rev. DR.. Brooks became minister Of
the Bethel A. M. Il. church at Key
West in 1896. His ministry Of four
years at the Mount Olive church, Jack
sonville, resulted in the addition Of 400
persons to the membership, $4,000 for
the trustees fund and $4,000 for the
ytewards' board.
At most remarkable meeting held
during DR.. Brooks stay at Key West
1888 persons accepted Christ and joined
the church. He is well known through
out this state as a man Of high Chris
tan character, whose good influence
seems to pervade the community in
which he lives. He has done a great
work for the denomination in Florida
and is a loyal advocate of racial ad-
vancement. Several church edifices
nave been erected under his super
vision, which reflect credit upon the
members and place DR.. Brooks in the
front rank as an organizer and finan-
cier.
The Rev. DR.. Brooks recently receiv-
ed assurances Of support by unanimous
vote from the Georgia delegation to
the general conference, and his
chances for elevation to the episcopacy
are bright. While he is very modest
about the matter, his achievements
and general worth to the denomination
compel recognition. Should DR.. Brooks
be promoted the work of the denomina,
tion in this section Of the south will
take on new life, for he Is a man of
great activity and adaptability for
