RACE PROBLEM
IS DISCUSSED
Conference of Southern Society Is
Held In Montgomery, Ala.
• 1
MEETING LARGELY ATTENDED
Ex-Secretary of Navy, Herbert,
Makes an Interesting Address
On a Live Topic.
One of the largest and most repre
sentative audiences ever assembled in
Montgomery, Ala., gathered in the
Auditorium Tuesday night at the open
ing of the conference of the Southern
Society for the promotion of the study
of the race conditions and problems in
the south.
The Hon. J. B. Gaston, acting as
temporary chairman, introduced Mayor
Joseph, who welcomed the members
in an eloquent speech and expressed
gratification at their meeting in the
capital city of the state.
Governor Johnston made an address
of welcome in the name of the state
and gave interesting facts and figures.
Governor Johnston was sure all de
sired a solution that will bp just to
both races. In Alabama considerable
progress has been made in the line of
educating the negro. The school fund
is paid almost entirely by the whites
and distributed impartially to children
of both races.
Convict records show a steadily in
creasing number of negro convicts.
The record show’# 80 per cent of con
victs are negroes, there being now in
the penitentiary 253 whites and 2,147
negroes. Of the total of 2,147 color
ed convicts 925 are confined for serious
crimes. Ou October Ist, 1878, there
w’ere 654 state convicts agaiust 1,700
now.
“We have now’ one negro in the
penitentiary for each 317 of popula
tion, aud one white for each 3,270,”
said the governor.
“The negro who accumulates prop
erty becomes a conservative citizen,
ceases to listen to political agitators
and desires do return of irresponsible
aud corrupt legislation. The more be
accumulates the greater his interest in
the reign of law and the preservation
of peace,” said Governor Johnston.
Hon. J . B. Gaston then introduced
Hon. Hilary A. Herbert. Judge Gaston
called attention to the importance of
the questions to be discussed and the
effect they would have not only on the
south, but on the country at large.
The following are some of the ideas
advanced by Mr. Herbert:
The present is happily an era of
good feeling among the sections, more
complete and perfect than any that has
ever existed. The force bill has been
dropped, the negro was not in the
presidential campaign of 1896; tfce
new constitution of Mississippi has
been decided by the supreme court of
the United States to be valid, and we
have now the sympathy of thoughtful
men in the north to an extent that
never before existed.
Necessity has compelled us to resort
to election methods which we desire
to abandon. The result of the expen
diture of millions on negro education
has been so unsatisfactory that some
people are advocating the abandon
ment of the system. The cost of try
ing negroes for crime is out of all pro
portion to the cost of trying white
men, and assaults by negroes upon
white women have brought us to
lynch law. These questions we are
here to discuss. Idleness among ne
groes is undoubtedly growing and
crime increasing. Professor Wilcox
states facts showing idleness to a de
gree that is startling, and he gives
census figures to show us that iu the
south the crimes of negroes, com
pared to population with whites were
in 1890 as a little less than five to
one, aud in the north considerably
over five to one.
Never was there such a blunder as
tbe theory that suffrage would help
educate the negro. What the negro
wanted above all things was to know
how to take care of himself so that he
might develop. He needed sympathy
and tntulege, aud this he would have
hail, especially from his old masters,
eu terms that would have been advan
tageous to both; but he was taught
that he had no friends except among
those who wanted his vote. It was
the carpet-bagger who drew the color
line.
In conclusion, my friends, the prob
lem that is set before ns is one in
which not only our brethren in the
north are, but all humanity is, inter
ested, but it is particularly ours, be
cause negroes being among us to stay,
we alone have at tho same time the
opportunity and the inducement to
solve it. We must work it out, or God
only can tell what is to become of us.
It is a mighty task, but it can be ac
complished, if we cuter upon it wikh
courage aud faith iu ourselves and our
people.
BOERS SUPPED HUTTON.
His Mounted Infantry RrJeade Fell Back
Until Reinforced.
A London dispatch says: General
Hutton’s mounted infantry brigade,
including tho Canadians, with a part
of General French’s cavalry, crossed
the Zand river Tuesday aud began to
work its way cautiously along the rail
road northward in the track of the re
tiring Boers.
About 8,000 horsemen were proba
bly engaged in this advance. Geueral
Hutton, before be was joined by a part
of General French’s force, had
a sharp fight. This was on Mon
day when he reached the river and saw
the Boer convoys on the other side and
pressed forward, intending to cross
aud capture them. The Boers, how
ever, opened fire with from eight to
ten guns, forded the river above and
below, seemingly in thousands, and
sought to envelop the British. General
Hutton fell back several miles, tbe
Boers following until other British
cavalry re-enforced Hutton. During the
night the Boers retreated, not further
contesting the crossing.
' INDORSED M’KINLEY.
Republicans of Maryland Hold State Con
vention In Raltimore.
The Republican state convention of
Maryland met in Baltimore Wednes
day.
The delegates at large elected to the
national convention are Senator Mc-
Comas, Congressman Sidney E. Mudd,
William T. Malster, Baltimore, and
ex-Comptroller Phillips Goldsbor
ough, Dorchester county. Delegates
were instructed to vote for president
McKinley’s renomination. Electors
u'j large are James Hooper, Henry
McCullough, Cecil county.
The platform warmly indorses the
administration of President McKinley
both at home aud abroad, condemns
trusts and arraigns the local Democ
racy upon charges of corruption and
misgovern ment.
EDWARDS IS CONFIRMED.
Semite I’nnei Upon the Macon, Georgia,
I‘ostoftice Nomination.
A Washington dispath says: The
senate has at last confirmed the nomi
nation of Harry Edwards to be post
master at Macon, Ga. This action was
taken at the executive session Wednes
day afternoon, the case being called
up and put through by Senator Bacon.
This brings an end to a contest
which has had some peculiar phases.
British Ship YV recked.
Tbe British ship Sierra Nevada,
Captain Scott, from Liverpool, Jan.
16th, for Melbourne, was totally
wrecked outside the Heads. Five of
her crew were saved, but it is believed
that twenty-two others, including the
captain, perishjed.
CRASH AT SIDING.
Trains Run Into Eacli Other, Killing a
Fireman anil Injuring Several.
Trains Nos. 23 of the Plant system
and 36 of the Southern collided at a
siding at Hardeeville, S. C., early
Wednesday morning. No. 23 was
backing into the siding to permit
No. 36, northbound, to pass, when
the Southern train dashed up at forty
five miles an hour aud crashed into
the other.
The negro fireman on the Southern
train was killed. Others of the train
crews were more or less seriously
hurt.
Strikers and YVorkmen Fight.
A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
says: During a riot between strikers
aud workmen at the Buttonwood mine
of the Parrish Coal company "Wednes
day about twenty men were badly in
jured, including Superintendent W.
T. Smythe.
The strikers dispersed the workmen.
The sheriff has been called on.
STRIKERS ARE CONFIDENT.
Tie-Up of Street Car Fines In St. I.ouis
Is Very Effective.
The secoud day of the great street
railway strike in St. Louis was as
quiet and uneventful as the first was
turbulent aud riotous. The Transit
Company made no effort to ruu ears
and the St. Louis and Suburban made
none until late in the afternoon when,
with police massed along the line and
a detachment on each car, it succeeded
in getting a number through. Far
from relieving the situation, however,
this demonstration had no further ef
fect than to show that by massing
their forces on a single line, the pohee
could keep that line open.
OTIS LEAVES MANILA.
He Setl Sail For Unite.l State* On Trans
port Meade.
The United Transport Meade sailed
from Manila for the United States at 5

Duriug the morning the supreme
court judges and many officers called
at the palace to bid farewell to Otis.
CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
“DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE
A Wiie and Venerable Doctor Talka about Advanced Science
In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician v.u‘

My firm belief, is “that medical science is certain yet to show that

The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption tvnl a
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgn r
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet f

himself and his friends. to
“ I believe,” continued this great physician, “that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratwe*
which act as blood purifiers.” ~ s
Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Cos., Mich., writes:
Deaf Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and liad a ringing in my head all the time. Mv
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again, l had
awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn’t go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get
ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston’s Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then 1
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh ha* almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's
Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla.
