OUR LAW MAKING BODIES.

Very soon most Of the legislatures
of the various states in our sisterhood
Of states will meet TO legislate for the
good Of their commonwealth.
Each state has problems peculiar
to their local interests. We always
have . fear that those states south Of
the Mason and Dixon line that those
legislatures will, as they have already
done, pass some more unjust and in
iquitous laws against the Negro.
They have already Disseminated, seq
regated and jim crowed the colored
people so much in the southland that
many thousands are migrating from
there to the east, north and west, and
now what does seem most preposter-
Gus, those same states are preparing.
to pass laws to make them remain in
the south and till their land. Oh,
hypocrite, thou art a jewel. The
Negro will not always submit to these
gross injustices and monster wrongs.
Let our legislatures try and make
laws for the betterment of AL man.
kind and then our country will really
be the land of the free and the home
of the just. & az ~. = Z 4

CHRISTMAS.

Once more the cycle Of time has re-
turned our great festival season, the
natal day Of our Saviour, which brings
glad tidings Of great joy, for Saw
Jour ID born unto the world. Our
thoughts are now turned toward Yule-
tide and that . proper celebration Of
the birth Of this wonderful Counsellor
who brought peace ard happiness. to
the world 1900 years ago. At this
particular time we need some one to
restore peace and bring happiness to
the suffering millions Of Europe. This
awful scoirge Of war will leave q scar
on the life Of Europe for many. years
to come. While in America we are at
peace, yet we cannot rejoice, because
our neighbors and sister countries are
in revolution and bloodshed and even
some Of our soldiers have been killed
in battle on Mexican soil, and the
lynehing and burning of so many col
ored citizens.
With these atrocities constantly be-
ing committed, can the civilized
Christian world celebrate the birth of
Christ, who died for all with clear
conscience? Have we done anything
to stop these injustices? Shall we sit
idly by and let these wrongs 60 on?

CHILDREN.

In this modern age Of social science

der that future generations may be-
come more healthy and strong and
our leading doctors are writing about
the care Of the child and how to pre-
serve and develop its body. Yet we
think that if our so-called modern or
up-to-date parents would use common
sense and common decency in the
rearing Of their children, as did their
fathers and mothers, we would not
have so much trouble with the child.
First, make them obey your orders.
Second, teach them that those thin,
high-cut, indecent garments do not
preserve the health nor add beauty.
Third, teach them that running the
streets and going to all classes Of
,amusements is, injurious to health and
beauty. Parents, 60 with your chill

and the world to be the kind Of edu-
cation the Negro needs. .5
2. These missionaries have proven
their ability to cope with the prob
lens Of the state, for they have prop
erly educated the Negroes whom they
have had under them. M
This is proven by the facts that:
.. Their graduates and ex-students
are succeeding. They are among the
best Negroes Of the state. Az farm
ers, business men and teachers they
are our best and most desirable citi-
tzens. 4, Vi s M
b. No graduate Or ex-student Of
these missionaries has been convicted
Of any heinous crime; no greater
argument could be offered in behalf OF
these Christ-filled missionaries than to
say that no graduate or ex-student
has ever been lynched-the sure pun
ishnent for seeking social equality.
Ask any business man and he will
give you conclusive business reasons
Why the state needs teachers for the,
Negro regardless As to the color Of
their skin. y. NJ, /. ~ n Y.
an. The economic viewpoint. ,,ti
1. The state does not maintain snf-
ficient schools to train the Negroes,
aside from one state school, every
member Of the general assembly rea-
Lies that the rural schools Of the
state are not worth "a, continental in
training the Negro to be useful, back
again TO Socrates, Not only IS he idle
who does nothing, but he is also idle
who might be better employed" 4'
When you drive out these missions
aries are you willing to Increase the
taxes and duplicate the work these
schools are doing. \
2.a Another economic reason re-
solves itself into the fact that It is
far seheaper and wiser to allow north.
ern philanthropy and missionaries to.
teach the Negro to be farmers, me-
chanics, teachers and preachers than
for the state to maintain and continue
to build convict camps.
w. Religious viewpoint.
1. Such law as this one proposed
is in opposition to religious liberty.
If ones religion impels him to go out
and teach those in darkness and you
say, Thou shalt not" you strike .
death blow to, religious liberty .or
even your own kind. Religious lib
erty is one of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of the nation. .
VII. Finally, gentlemen, it is not
necessary for race--a race as every
one Of you believe your race to be-
= superior race, to show its superior
ity in this way-can there be any true
civilization. in the world when any
men are left out left to drag be-
hind There is only one great con-
structive power in the world-iove-

COLORED DAIRY MAN WINS
HIGHEST HONOR.

Were it not for the colored news
papers we would seldom know the
honor that many OF our colored folk
are receiving in the various indus
tries in this state and In this country.
At the recent milk test held in Des
Moines for the state Of Iowa in No
vember, Mr.. Julian o. Winston, a Ne
gro dairyman residing near Ottumwa,
received the highest test from his
milk. The manner Of testing milk
comes about in this way. The state
dairymen officials collect two bottles
from the dairyman without acknowl-
edging the fact or telling them, and.
they deliver these bottles Of milk to
Des Moines, where they hold their an
nual test. And this year Mr.. Julian
Winston's milk, the Negro dairyman,
won the first prize. Mr.. Winston
moved to Ottumwa, Iowa, from Char
louisville, Va, ten years ago and
bought . farm of 100 acres. Two years
ago he entered the dairy business,
known rs the. Willow Springs dairy.
At first he had twenty-five head Of
COWS. Mr.. Winston said when he
first started the people .of Ottumwa
tried to down him because Of his
color, but his milk being superior, it
won its way, and today he cannot sup
ply his demands, although he is con-
stantly increasing his dairy farm.
There is but one other scolored man
who has . dairy farm and is doing q
large business, that is Mr.. David Gar

The tremendous activity in mining
in this section has been brought
about by the great rise in the price
of copper. the rise being from 8 cents

Pyrite, which occurs with the copper,
is also a valuable by-product. An

The New Canton mines are in the
same general stratum as the noted
Louisa sulphur mines, and are in ex-
act line with the lead and zinc mines
of Spotsylvania County.
Owing to the great development in

activity has been shown here within
the past few months in mining op-

in many places along the well-known
mineral belt of this county.
The Jones mine, formerly the Nc
Kenna mine. OF New Canton, was re-
opened two months ago and modern
machinery installed This mine was
opened to depth of seventy feet
some years ago, but operations were
suspended on account OF the financial
panic. The present operations. so far
as prosecuted, show a remarkable
bed of copper and pyrite of immense
richness. The company in charge of
the operations will push and expand
their operations TO much greater
depth and drifts will be made in va
rious directions. The copper ore is
now on exhibition in various places
and there is more or less excitement
on account of the great prospects.
The johnson mine. formerly work.

two hundred bags of copper ore have
been taken from an eastward drift
within the past few days. This mine
