SATURDAY DECEMBER 20. 1902
Governor Durbin, has concluded the hearing oi testimony in the case of Sheriff Dudley of Sullivan Co., and willanuounce his finding short* ly. The feeling is that the Governor will find that sheriff Dudley was negligent in the discharge of his swoin as well as moral duties, and will not icinstate the deposed officer.
6a ., ten or twelve miles from Savannah, and which has been incorporated by the state legislature, has its entire city government, mayor, chief of po lice, postmaster, etc, under the control of the negroes It is an orderly town and the moral sentiment of the place is very good.—Ex. Hon. Edward H. Morris, colored, was elected by a majority of 15,000 to the legislature of Illinois. Mr. Morris is aresidentof Chichgoacd a reputable attorney, enjoying a lucrative practice He owns considerable real estate in the best part of the city. George H. White is building a negro town, a new set tlement at Whitesboro, Ky. It will be inhabited only by colorrd people. Whitesboro, when completed is to occupy nearly all that vast area between Riogrand and Burleigh, or Anglesca Junction. Streets and public bmldings have been located and the future looks very bright. A stock company has been formed at Frederick, Md., to carry on a general pointing business and publish a newspaper. The paper will be called the ‘‘Frederick Hornet.” Mrs, Susie Kiug Taylor of Boston, has written a very interesting volume fiuely illustrated, antittled ‘‘Remineacences of My Army Life With the First South Carolina Volunteers, Later called the 33rd U. S. C. T. from” G1 to 66. It is from the Riverside Press of Houghton Miflin Publishing Company and is highly endorsed by Col. T. W. <igginson, of Cambridge, Mass, who was the colonel of that regiment and other officers.
A reign o£ lowlessness on the part of Negroes, is prevalent in parts of the state. We sincerely regret any infraction of the low, by our people, for the plain reason, that the whole race is made to suffer, for what a few criminals do.
Self-help is the slogan of racial success. Help those who are striv* iog to help themselves and you.
A merry wishes.
Christmas and best
The opportunity ot the present is of vital importance to every young colored man and woman. The question is, What will you do to-day, to succeed inhfe? Will you throw off the shackles ot indolence and become an industrious and better citizen, or will you continue to lemain as you are? Ash yourselves, and let the N<’w Year bring a renewed effort vn your part to do something for your race and yourself.
The Negro has made some real progress during the year just closing. Handicapped us he is by a ▼ery large percentage of ‘‘dead weight” the individual efforts and successes have been marktd and creditable. Let us be thankful.
Representative Crumpacker of Indiana expresses some very decid *d views on the race question and they are worthy of the kindliest consideration on our part. There is no denying the fact, that the fact, that the ‘‘colored man in Politics” is the bone of contention, both North and South. Then let us ask ourselves candidly, it the future welfare of the race, is not of greater moment and, importance than present opportunities, which keep us on the defensive* We firmly believe that, race opp»r* tunitity along business, profession aland Industrial lines. Our race leaders must come from the source aud not be creatures of political opportunity, as in the past. We must face the fact, that, the mere conferring of suffrage on the Negro does not make him a man. Mr. Crumpbacker has echoed Booker T. Washington’s wise remarks and intelligent race men are doing likewise in the best interests of a race of people. Mr. Washington said: “At every proper opportunity I say to the youth of our people that they will make a mistake if they seek to succeed in life by mere political activity or the hope of holding bolitical office. Now and then however, public questions affteting our interests arise which are so fundamental and far-reaching that they transcend the domain of politics. When such questions present themselves, injustice to the race, I make my position known and stand for what I see to be right. ‘‘We cannot elevate and make useful a race of peopje until there is held out to the^ the hope ot reward for right living. Every revised constitution throughout the Southern States has put a premium upon intelligence, ownership of property, thrift and character.
Spirit of The Press. Itseems to be the soundest of political wisdom that if the tariff is to be revised, its revision should be accomplished by its friend and not by its enemies.—Blue Grass Bug-le. Just why it takes so much time for the average Negro to learn sense, in the midst of such a rigid school of experience as surrounds him, is one of the few things that we do not understand. He will work the year round or from month to month, or from week to week, to get money for no other purpose than to buy something to eat and wear, and to have a ‘‘good time” with. It is “come daj* go day, God send Sunday” with him. He never thinks to lay by a dollar for “arainyday” anymore than if he did not have an ounce of sense. “Dago” or the Jew and the Irish, and for that matter, all the other races around him are toiling daily to get where they can live in ease while the poor fool Negro spends bis money as he goes, and nine times out often, will spend it where i3t will do him no good hut the greatest possible harm. If he wants a pound of meat he will walk by twenty stores of his own race to get to Jew’s or some other white man’s. In fact nineteen out of every twenty will goto a wnite man to buy whatever he wants before he will one of his own race. Verily, verily, the Negro is a fool.—Pine Bluff Weekly Herald, There is no question that the Negro is making progress along all lines. His advancement in all the avenues of life shines out in every direction, and it is quite gratifying. Enterprises are being established in every community and all seem to be prosperous. There is a marked tendency ou the part of the race to patronize each other; a feti ng of common interest is now everywhere manifested, and a closer union is being brought about. He is fast learning to love bis money; and to do business was nevei so strong as now. The young men and women are learning trades and professions, and are preparing to employ themselves* —Nashville Clarion. It may not be patriotic to offer any criticism of the Supreme Court of the United States, but we have so far been vainly endeavoring to find a case that has been decided favorably to a Negroes contention, from the Dred Scott decision to the present day.—Colored American. President Roosevelt has endeared aimself to all right thinking people by his recent, manly, courageous and emphatic utterences regarding the rights of the Afro-American to hold office. As long as he preaches and practices such strenous doctrine as this, the race in all parts of the country stands ready to hold up his hands at all times and under all circumstances.—New York Age.
