Incendiary Harangue.
? k .
A Negro Raves and Rants About the
* . . Supposed Rights of Coons.
A special to the News and Courier
from Washin&ton, over date of Jan/
uary 27th^ says: Because a meeting
over which he presided was characterized
by some incindiary speeches,
Cyrus Adams, a negro, who is assist--a.

his part in the affair scrutinized by
officials above bim. The meeting was
- V '
under tbe auepicies of the Afro-American
Council, of which Pledger, of
Georgia, is president, which has recenfcly
resolved itself into an office
trust to relieve the , President of the
.. burden of awarding federal offices to
t^e negroes.
Tbe reports furnished the press
made no mention of the most sensational
feature of this gathering. It
was a mass meeting at one of tbe
colored churches, with a long list of
: .
I t
speakers, among teem Jjincoin jonnson,
of Atlanta. The star of the occasion
was a negro Hays, an attorney
-at Richmond, who has figured in
the efforts to test the disfranchisement
laws of Virginia. His speech
was full of fight and fire. Incidentally
he quoted the Atlanta Constitution
as "having threatened
the negroes with ku klux if the
growth of federal appointments in
the Sonth continues." I make the
prediction," he declared, "that
when the Southern people start
to ku kluxing this time they will not
have %s their ejects of oppression
the same timid people they ku kluxed
in the sixties." In the course of his
speech Hayes is reported to have dek
clared that the negro has now reachP
ed the limit of his indurance, and he
advocated the sword and torch as a
means for the negro to maintain his
manhood. His remarks were received
with high enthusiasm. He referred
to the fact that during the years
which have elapsed since the war
sectional feelings between the North
and South have died out to such an
extent that Virginia now proposes to
plaoe a monument to Lee in Statury
Hall in the national capital, but that
all this period has not been sufficient
for the negro to advance one inch beyond
the place he held when liberated
from slavery. "There is nothing in
Virginia for the negro," he said, "but
degradation, unless the negroes make
a firm stand, contend for their rights
and, if necessary, die for them." "I
am not anarchist," he added, uand I
don't mean to go out and kill anybody
b-;n
UUU IAJ 1CU OUUi^UUUJ CiOO Alii JUU.
Tbis veiled sally provoked loud applause
and laughter.
"You opened this meeting tonight by
singing "My Croutry, *Tis of Thee,"
but I wonder how negroes can sing
that song. For myself I am a man
without a country. The time has come
when the negro must fight; not theoretically,
not intellectually, but fight
with his hand. The disfranchisement
of the children of Israel in
Egypt has been followed letter by
letter by the disfranchisement in the
South. Negroes are leaving the
State of Virginia because of the treatment
they are receiving. What we
want to do is to start something and
keep up until the white people stop
something. We don't intend to be
oppressed any longer; we don't intend
to be crushed. I am afraid we are
anarchistic, and I give the warning
that if this oppression in the South
continues the negro must resort to
the sword and the torch, and that the
Southland will become a land of
"blood and desolation.
' UI want to make the assertion right
here that we are not going to be disfranchised
in Virginia. It is written
in the heavens and engraved UDon
the stars that the Virginia negro
does not intend to submit to this
disfranchisement. We are told "to
let the negro obtain education and
wealth if he would gain the political
.
equality which he desires." I say
there never was a bigger lie uttered.
The more the negro advances the
more will political rights be denied
him. It is not the common negro in
the south who is cut off the registration
lists; it is the ditch digger; it is
the educated negro, the doctor,
g,.
lawyer and preacher, who are deprived
unlawfully of political rights and
manhood by the iniquitous constitution
of Virginia, which cost half a
million dollars to frame. And I
Want to say that by the time we get
through punching holes in the constitution
it will cost the state of Viaginia
half a million more."
Hays then turned his attention to
the movement led by Brooker Washington.
"It is claimed that the negro
industrial schools are the proper lines
of effort for the race. .Talk about
education and wealth and say that
they make votes for the negro! It's
a lie."
He is reputed to have declared in
' - J
C0I1C1UBIUIJ: * n.uu juoo uuc TTVivt
about the question of the absorption
of the races. No two people having
the same religion and speaking the
same tongue living together have
ever been kept apart. This is well
known and it is one of the reasons
why the dominant race is crushing
out the strenght of the negro in the
south."
The fact that there should have
been this outbreak right in the
midst of the agitation of the southern
question because of President
Koosevelt's action in the Indianola
case and making certain appointments
has led tc its being pointed
out as the natural outcome of this
agitation. Administration politicians
are confessedly greatly worried
over the ditterent developments in
the recent discusion of the southern
question. Leading negroes deprecate
what they term the Hays outbreak.

and the clock on the mantel was

cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup?and especially
for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing

is nothing like German Syrup. The

Til3 Legislature.
The General Assembly has at last
settled down to business and new
bills are being introduced and others
are passing through their various
stages with a swiftness that indicates
the purpose of the members to make
the best use of the time embraced
within the Constitutional forty days
as possible.
During the past week much preliminary
work has been gotten out
of the way leaving the field open for
the interrupted transaction of needed
legislation.
C A. Wood. Esq, of Marion, has
been elected Associated Justice of
the Supreme Court to succeed Hod.
T J. Pope, recently promoted Chief
Justice, and Wm. Elliot, Jr., of Columbia,
Code Commissioner, in place
of W. H. Townsend, who resigned
to accept the position of Assistant
Attorney General.
The Senate passed the biennial
sescion and other bills, but a question
a9 to the legality of the proceedings
was raised by Senator Brown
it was decided to undo what had
been done and start over anew.
We are proud of our delegation,
each one of# whom is one or the
| other of the most important committees
of the Senate and House.
It is rather early in the session to
? ii* .j
give anytmng line an intelligent synopsis
of the proceedings as each
member has some pet sbeme to introduce
which, by way of a salve to
lacerated feelings, some interest
must be given it by some member
before delivering the knock out blow
by striking out the enacting words.
As soon as all this skirmishing is
over and the Legislature is confronted
with actual work, then we may
reasonably look for hot times and
soul stirring and "water bringing"
debates.
[Just as the compositor had put
the above in type this Friday afternoon,
the daily papers just received
says the Senate had rescinded its
former action and declared the business
of Wednesday to be legal, so
the biennial sessions and child labor
bills go to the House without further
delay.]
Both Houses have been holding
day and night sessions and the probability
is that no time will be wasted
hereafter in disposing of business.

shown from these figures that the
enrollment has been almost doubled
in less than six years, as then it was
125 and dow 221.
Perhaps no other school in the
State can boast of such success. Students
are enrolling every week, and
every few days news of others coming
is receeived.*As the schools in the
county close many students not satisfied
with the short session at home
?
come to the Institute until June.
Boys and girls can never get an education
by attending school three or
four months in the year. Parents,
send them loDger if you have to
board them out. It will pay you in

send to the Institute as new classes
are beiDg formed.
Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. It is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
It has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by
the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip), and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
half closed door, biddeD, but withiD
earshot, to hear the result.
It was not favorable. The fair
one sacily tossed her head and replied:
"Indade, now, if I'm good enough
to be married, I'm good enough to
be axed!"
Hearing this, the anxious lover
trust his head inside the door and
said beseechingly:
"Norah, darlin" will ye do what
Maggie s,xed ye?"

Because we overeat of them. Indigestion
follows. But there's a way to
escape such consequences. A dose of a
good digestant like Kodol will relive you
at once. Your stomach is simply too
weak to digest what you eat. That's all
indigestion is. Kodol digests the food
without the stomach's aid. Thus the
stomach rests while the body is strengthened
by wholesome food. Dieting is unnecessary.
Kodol digests any kind of
