Race^Criminology. The Ninth Annual Conference to study Negro problems, was held last week at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. The study this year was, “Crime among Negroes in Georgia.” These conferences began in 1896 with a study of Negro morality, and this hes been followed by annual studies of social conditions, efforts for betterment, bus icess, college training, commonschools, trades and industrial training, and religion. The subject this year was of unique import. The criminal Negro has |occupiec’ the center of Christian thought and endeavor for years Judgement upon the entire race has been formed with an eye single to our worst, and not our best classes. No other race has been made to sufler on account of its vicious element, as has the black race in America. So the results of this conference are bound to be fruitful. Among the conclusions arrived at are the following needs: fairer criminal laws, justice in the courts; the abolition of state traffic in crime for public revenue and private gain; more intelligent methods of punishment; the refusal to allow free labor to be displaced by convict labor; and finally a wider recognition of the fact that honest, intelligent, law abiding black men are safer neighbors than ignorant under-paid serfs, because it is the later class that breeds dangerous crime.

Resolutions. >

Among- the Sunshiny days there are gloomy ones, and yet they are bright; Whereas: it has pleased Almighty God to takefrom our midst an Angel and most beautiful flower in the person of Little Flora By bee and transplant it in the Eternal Nursery above, and Whereas: we the Sisnday School and Junior League of Simpson Chapel M. E. church do mourn with the beneaved parents and grand parents a great lost of one so young and promising. as the tender bud gives promise

to the beautiful flower.

A few months ago we viewed her among the number of little girls re* presenting the angels ascending and deceuding Jacob’s ladder, But last Sunday about 11:40 a. m. those around her bedside watched her ascend as the spiral smoke does from the chimney

until she was lost to view.

Be it resolved: That in this hour of sorrow we turn to the God of Nations, that we mourn no: against Hi« Holy will, We pray that Peace and Comfort be given to the parents, and that blessings decend on the entire family. “O” thou whose tender mercy, Hears contritions humble sigh; Whose baud 'cuoi^ent H the tear* | Fram Sorrows weeping eyrtt.

Union Means Strength. Negroes have long ago reached the stage of self-government regardless of the charges of racial enemies. What is needed to-day is the opportunity to develope, and a proper eocouragement of the endeavors of manhood and all will be well. Within the past decade wonderful strides havr been made and the success that has attended such efforts, has won admiration, even from our Sothern friends. The three leading church denominations with a membership of over three and a half millions and property valued at over $30,000,000 successfully refute any charge of inability to organize, while the thousaods ot successful professional and business men scattered over every Stale show that individual effort along material lines has been rewarded. The day ot racial hope fpr better things has but begun. Why should the Negro citizens ot this country be subjected to the prejudice of a Souther® democray? Collector Crum should be confirmed by the Republican Senate. His appointment was mace because of merit and the objection of the South should not prevail.

Terre H&ule Citizens. For many years, judging from the few years that I have been in the worlds have 1 been hearing of Terre Haute and on the whole not very complimentary thing either. In fact tbe reports were of such a nature as to create within me a desire not to even visit the city, and while near the city for a few years, did not visit it until a conference in which I was much interested made it quite necessary that I come. Well I was very agreeably surprised, not, however, so much the condition of the people with whom I am so happily identified. The first surprice was the vast amount of inteliigeuce that maintaines among the Negroes of Terre Haute. Surprise No. 2, the very favorable attitude of our public school teacher toward the church, who not only attend the church but take an active part in iu it. This I am told, is not always the case. Surprise No. 3, the large number of places of trust and responsibility filled by persons of color. Surprise No. 4, the number of homes owned. And the very excellent v^ay that the people of Allen Chapel sup. port their church. It would surprise any person, as hard as the winter has been and as great as has been our runuing expenses, yet we have kept up and paid some back floating debts, of four or five years standing and cut the mortgage down from 5700 to $500 with another $100 on hand to be paid on the same. Our rally will be July 3, and if this noble hearted people do not pay the mortgage off, they will reduce it so as bo make one more very small effort do the rest This is my third charge I have been very greatly pleased with all of them, but with none more tham Allen Chapel. Will gay that whoever is so fortunate as to be sent here, he need have no reason to regret it, I am told that the minister all over the State are doing fine and we will surprise Bishop C. T. Shaffer this September. REV. N. W. WILLIAMS.

In the political arena, Indiana has the position of honor. Being classed as a pivatol State the polit. ical manrgers of both parties, give due consideration to her citizens. Just now, the eyes of the Nation are on our Senior Seantor, Charles W. Fairbanks, as a candidate ior the Vice-presidency, whilcanother favorite son, Col. Harry New, has been chosen as Vice-president for the National Republican Convention. Just now, the Eastern despatches state that great concern exists among the leaders because suitable Northern Colored man to second the nomination of President Roosevelt cannot be agreed upon,

Condolences. Hurschell Brandy was born Dec. 25, 1889, died January 21, 1904 buried May 23, 1904; Our darling boy Hurschell has gone pul not forcotten; But hark! an Angel stays my hand, and bids me. A precious one irom us has gene, A voice we loyed is stilled; A pjace is vacant in our home, Thich never can be filled, in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love bad given; And though the body slumbers now. The soul is safe in heaven. EMMA OWENS. —FRIDAY— Former Queen Lilookalani of Hawaii and her party have sailed for Honolulu.

Rev. Townsend with a crops of officers and auxiliaries are getting together for this purpose. A large crowd greeted the I3ish_ op in his farewell sermon on last Sunday morning. In the course of his subject taken from 2nd Corinfch ians 2nd chapter his hearers were impressed with the thought of remembrance of the good that he had tried to act live and talk iu four years that he had been in this fifth episcopal district, A feeling of sadness pervaded all present and whethei at heme or abroad such is his demeanor, that those who meet him will learn to love and respect him. We heartily commend him to his new field of labor. We fell that in the sixteen years ot his bishopric none has been more pleasant officially than that of these four years As a gentleman citizens Christian his garments ate untouched.
