Negro Athletics.
BY Chss. P. Howard.

When we consider the wonderful
strides and the very prominent part
the Negro has played in amateur ath-
leties and the length of time that this
has been true, the first question that
naturally presents itself is, who was
the first really great Colored track
athlete Irrational reputation, and
where was that honor gained?
Beyond question of doubt the
first to gain this honor was John B.
Taylor of the University of Penn
sylvania. He was reared in Philadel-
phia and attended one of the Prep
schools of that city, during which
time he was team mate of the peer
less Melvin B. Shepherd. Not being
contented with Prep-school educa-
ton he entered the University of
Pennsylvania, where he came under
the instruction of the greatest of all
trainers, the late Mike Murphy, and
at once was recognized as the lead
ing quarter miller of his day.
To go into detail as to the number
of races and various excellent per-
forlnances in which he competed
would be impossible in an article of
this length. However, his greatest
performance was at the Harvard Sta
dium on June l, 1907, when he estab-
lished new inter- collegiate record
of 48.4 for the quarter.
Unfortunately, during the spring
of 1908, he was Handicapped by i'll
ness, and when he toed the mark at
London for international honors, he
was but a shadow of his former self.
Fro mthis illness he never fully re-
covered and within year his races
were ended for all time-by death.
1t would be impossible to esti-
mate the amount of good done by
this pioneer Negro athlete. Through
out his athletic career he was gen
tleman first and an athlete after
wards. He was never known to take
advantage of a competitor and was
respected an dliked by friends and
foe.
The very democratic treatment ac-
corded our boys since that time by
the intercollegiate Associations and
by the A. A. U. are in no small
measure due to the manner h ths
measure due to the manner in which
this athlete conducted himself

Negro and The White.
By Anonymous.

By Anonymous.
An able negro rose, impassioned,
To defend his race.
Against the vile assaults of those
Who would his kind disgrace.
He showed where brazen prejudice
And egotism small,
Made of the white an unfair judge
in matters one and all.
He pointed out the seat of sin
Within the white mans heart,
Aud how that crime and cruelty
And him were counterpart.
He reekoned up the centuries
OF white, unbroken sway,
And found their total answer in
Conditions of to-day.
The broken promises of years
The grinding of the heel,
That almost any white skinned man
Would make the weaker feel.
His character a menace
To the world S security
MS iohPuD ~ ny poeiihi'"i
Pirates loud of liberty.
And when he views negro s sin,
And sees him step aside
Fom rights ungilded pathway,
Then hear him quick deride.
A sinking, putrid whitehead SOUL
With conscience scared, half dead
Would push him back and hold him
down,
We're he 10 raise his head.
Instead of pity, love and help,
The negro gets abuse.
Though ne'er did he withhold his care,
His help did ne'er refuse.
The negro lynchings witness stand
To white ingratitude,
And thousands of mulatto souls,
To palefaced vices leud.
just Strip the mask from off his face
And quickly at him glance,
Then ponder what the negro race
would do
With half his chance

 Dear Sir:


 am land man and friend has given me a tip on where there is the finest kind of land for long staple or snort staple cotton, or any other crops that are grown in our own Salt River Valley. This land is righr adjoining a live town. It has been in varied crops for four years and is in crop now. So VOL can see what it will do. Il can be bought for $175 per acre. in cluding fully paid up ditch water stock alone worth S25 per share. Terms about .one-fourth down, balance ye@ly paymentsA Ihis land, my friend writes me, is equal to the best in the Salt River Val lev and he knows, for he has been a large land owner here.
 If you will take the trouble to answer this ad, I'll come and see YOU or write you further about it, and I'll put my time against yours and go and investigate it with you. And if it isn't exactly as I repre- sent. I'll refund all your expenses and pay you for your time as well. From what my friend writes, there is no tune to lose if this oppor- tunity is to be taken advantage of. and I'm gong to see 1t this week. and ii it is all that I believe it to be. I'll buy a good size piece of it myself. It means getting as good land with all the same physical and climatic conditions as in the Salt River Valley but at $175 an acre as against $500 an acre here. Does it appeal to you enough to look at it" It does to me. You'll lose only one days time and yoG may make a good many thousand dol lars. Address Box 49E. Republican.
