A COMING CONFERENCE.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored people will
hold its Eleventh Annual Conference
i nthe city of Atlanta, Ga, this year.
This is a forward step.
S~elfishness, greed and the purpose
of unrighteous power have been the
chief agencies producing the social
sickness of the world. The white
South is mistaken in its conception of
social duty. There is no substantial
social value in a blind adherence to
the traditions of the period that Great
ed and maintained the institution of
chattel slavery. 1t is an assumption,
pure and simple, which seeks to es-
tablish a worthwhile instance of SUI
perior social instinct, in the recollec-
ton of an inept and vicious mainten-
ance of slave and master relations I'M
der any circumstances of social situa-
lions.
New and binding responsibilities
have come to black and white alike.
Each must do its full part in the
work OF world social betterment. The
sun knows no race Time knows no
race. Eternity knows no race.
Lest we forget, we say again, the
world must be made safe for Human
ity.

DEAN PIcKENs ON FREDERICK
DOUGLASS"

Prof. Pickens delivered a scholarly
address on Frederick Douglass at
Allen Chapel Sunday night. The
heavy rain kept many away but those
present enjoyed a rare treat.
The richness of his vocabulary,
vividness of his word pictures, and
his beautifully balanced and contrast
ed phrases, present to his audience
unforgettable scenes in the life of this
greatest Negro, born in the most abb
ject slavery, struggling to manhood
under the cruelest of masters. Finally
looking down at his heels and realiz-
ing that God had given him them to
run with, he made the dash for free
dom and then threw himself into the
Abolition Movement which ended in
the Emancipation.
Many lessons for us were pointed
out, all being summed up in the clos
ing sentence, IF Mr.. Douglass were
alive today, he would be ashamed not
to be a member of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Color
ed People"

UNUSUAL STEPS ARE
TAKEN BY SINN FEN

DITBLIN-Some of the decisions
of the recently organized Sim Fem
courts disregard all precedent OF
court procedure and reflect much OF
the imagination Of a highly temper
mental race. They must resort to
subterfuges in criminal sentences
because they have no prisons but
their findings in civil cases some
times are most unusual.
A will case was recently tried In
a district court. Two brothers were
to operate their fathers farm Jointly
after his death until n Of them
should decide to marry. Then 1t was
to be divided between them. One
of the brothers became engaged and
maintained that as he was the nrst
to set up a new home of his own ne
should. divide the estate to suit HIM
self. The other objected. The Sim
Fein Jury decided that the engaged
man should be allowed to divide the
farm but that his brother should
have the right to select the division
he wanted.
A man who stole something from
a farmer was sentenced to work
thirty days for the farmer and re-
turn the article. Another who stole
a set of harness was paraded
through the village streets with the
harness tied about him, then taken
TO the owner and made to apologize
as he returned the harness.
