that whatever or whoever melted

Grafton is essential to success But
the strange thing is that everybody
else is for his own people or nation
except the Negro. Now the colored
man might as well as content him
self with his race and color and work
along established and God-given
lines for there is no hand than can
erase their color or change their
race. The lines of racial distinction
are as lasting as time itself. Unless
the colored man unites his interests
into cooperative plans and works
those plans, he will always be the
servant of the other races. The
Greek, possibly the last to migrate
to our shores is in business only a
short while before he grows rich be-
cause he learns the Negroes weak
ness very early and sets out to take
advantage of that weakness. 1t does
not require much experience or OBJ
servation to realize that the colored
man is not only divided but is run
ming from his own people. The
weakness in our race when discover
ed by the other races soon leads to
our undoing.

THE TW OGUNs.

1t is reported that the Rev. r. M.
Caver and the Rev. VIM. o. Davis
were the big guns in the incorpor-
ated Sisters Union District Associa-
that held its session in Argenta,
last week, in fact it seems that they
were the big guns and the little
guns and even the pistols of that
very CONSPICUOUS occasion, for shoot
ing arms in any form or class seems
to have been mighty scarce. 1t now
dawns upon us Just why the Rev.
Mr.. Caver was so persistent in mis-
leading and leading off little hand
full Of silly Baptists in the Union
District Association. He wanted to
be the big gun. But so inferior in
class and range to the real men Of
the district proper was he until he
saw no possible chance by remain
ing loyal to principle, hence another
association in order that he might
be in position to be styled real big
gun. AS to our friend Davis 1t is
hard to say why he drifted off after
1 little hand full of irresponsible
irregulars unless it is his feeling Of
real superiority over all the gang,
that he would soon spike Mr.. Caver's
little fowling piece and so become
the canon of the entire outfit. At
any rate in the camp of the irregu-
lar incorporationist the honor are
about equally divided between DR..
r. M. and DR.. w. o. with consider
able leaning toward w. Q. Hurrah

ing House belongs to the Baptists of
the United States. Instead of shak-
ing hands, letting the dead past bury
the past, and going forth to make
greater success for God and His
cause by building up this great insti-
tuition and the corporation behind
it, the blind leaders are trying to
lead our people into the idea of put
ting up another publishing house so
that few of them might gather in
a few loaves and fishes. But it is
this kind of leadership that scatters
our people and keeps us from be-
coming power in the financial
world. We must learn to build for
coming generations as well as for the
present generation. Now these
blind leaders are seeking our people
other Publishing House when he al,
ready has one that is able to sup
ply the demands of the entire denom-
ination for many years to come.
Now where is there any consistency,
sense, honesty or Christianity in
any such conduct? Should not the
race and denomination have union?
But they prefer to be divided, sling
mud at the ones who are building
and have builded our present Pub
fishing House and tear it down if
possible so that no Negro or set of
Negroes can be given credit for
building great and enduring
building for the denomination and
race.
l say to my people, beware Of
these sharks and do not let them con-
tinue to deceive you. Don't you
know that II DR.. Boyd or anybody
else had stolen half million dol
lars of property, he or they would
have been consigned to a cell in the
penitentiary. But after all this talk
you have heard and abuse of him
published in the papers, he has not
even been arrested.
AS we proceed in life, somebody
Is compelled to get rich. Then lets
make the Negro rich. The more we
build up one another, the more we
add to the race and the more we di-
vide the weaker we make the
race. Let the Negro cease running
from place to place, kill within him
self this spirit of disunion, get down
to working along business methods
and cooperate one with the other
whenever possible and his future is
assured.

THE TWO WOMEN'S DISTRICT
MEETINGS.

The spirit of our community is de-
cidedly in favor of regularity and
majority rule in the Baptist church.
This was emphasized in no uncer-
tain terms last week in the two
meetings of the Womens associa-
ton. The one standing for majority
rule presided over by Mrs. Sarah J.
Porter, the one standing for minor
ity rule presided over by Mrs. Gym
thia Bonner. Mrs. Porter's meeting
was an over flow gathering, with
representatives from every section
of the district At no time during
the session was the large auditorium
formed that Sister Bonner's meeting

and visitors. We are reliably in
was a very tame affair indeed, only
a mere handful of women. We are
informed that they raised something
over $4,000, while the women who
stand for regularity raised S415.01.
This amount come away up near
what the incorporated women raised
in their state meeting at Camden.
This showing on the part of our
women is entirely gratifying and
proves the loyalty of the womanhood
of the state to the principle of the
grand old church. With the force
of solid and well regulated hard
fighting, INSCRIPTIONS lying in the
state, Morris and Bookerism have
not been able to withstand the on
ward march of truth and righteous
ness.
