Richard Oarroll, a negro Baptist preacher, who Is running an indus trial home near Columbia tor ne gro orphans, preached to large audiences In Columbia on Sunday, April 2, a doc trine new to nearly all of his hearers. He believes that he has a minion in this world, a missicn to plead for jus tice for the negro, and to plead with the negro to let alone tboqp things with wbloh they should have naught to do, to aspire to be a worthy fol lower rather than a shiftless leader. The State says while the opera bouse was nut crowded still it is a fact that, at the two services probably 1,800 paople listened to this eloquent negro It may be that some might have gone from curiosity, but every one who heard him would go back next Sunday if Oarroll ware >to speak again. The man’s eloquence consists not In ora tory, for rarely does he permit him self to Indulge in rhetoric, but in his gtitement of conditions In a wa; which can hut make each race fee the more kindly toward the other. It waa with no show of fear and with favor to none that Carroll spoke If be gave loafing negroes a verba chastisement, he also rebuked the white people for tolerating It and thus encouraging laziness on the part of the negroes. For three hours he poured forth common sense sugges- tioni which ate tbrcryatsHted lions of the thought of this negro who loves all the south, Including even the so-called "poor white man.” Dr. Ftlnn in presenting Oarroll told of the orphan home near the city built on the site of the ante-bellum mansion of the Trenholma and later the home of Bev Jno. L. Girardeau D. D., one of the most eloquent preachers in America, who had given many years of his best work to the uplifting of the negro. Dr. Flinn de olared that the southern white people should do all they can to educate the negro, to reinstate In a measure that gna family control of the old south which was so much for the negro’a own good. Dr. Flinn at the night meeting told Of his visit to the orphan home. He remarked upon the cleanliness which there be toned. Economy, and Indus- tex arf taught there. Nothing is wasted and each ward of the institu tion has his work to do. The Institu tion teaches morality by prtc pi and by example. He declared Carroll to be a thoroughly unselfish man. Oarroll captured the attention of the audience from the very outset. There wss no diffidence in his man ner. He bad a me sage, be bad the power to deliver that mfersige, and he felt It. While he his the ele ments of an orator, he did not at- msn then, he exclaimed. Gen. Lee wanted the negroes put nto regiments to defend the eouth, bat other southern captains differed with him, and "Father Abraham” came along and marshalled the negro. Into battle array under the flag of the anion. Why hss not the negro been exterminated, he asked. At the risk of being called a traitor by his own people hs would make some auggea- ttona. He told' how Josephus had prophesied agatnat the taking up of arms against Rome, and by the Jews be was called a traitor, even when he fought with the Jews until the streets ran red with blood, and Titua begged them to surrender to himself as be did not want to exterminate the race. The sad history of the Jews of that time would be the history of the negro of today If be would attempt to Eli own hands. that Mr. tempt any fine speaking except on one or two thoughts, particularly bis tribute to southern womsuboed. While the lower floor of the opera house was nearly filkd with white people, there was not Such a large crowd of negroes on the balouny above which had been reserved for the ne groes. Sunday night the attendance of negroes had nearly doubled, show ing that Carroll is coming more Into favor with bis owd people. CarroJl declared that he does not like to talk to a mixed audience,-for he cannot My to the white people what he would like for fear of giving to negroes the idea that be , is Impertinent. The white people would understand him. The negro served the south faith fully for 200 years. He made the south rich. The south before tije war was'lhe richest section of the world. The hegro can make the south rich •gain When the mao oTESe- SctftS went to war, the negro served them faithfully; he burned no b use, be Committed no crimes. He protected the women; he made the very bread for them to eat. After the war came the politician. The south never bad negro rule. The negro Is not a race to rule, but to follow. No race so musical can rule. The negro needs no .organ. He buys one because he sees the white man buj ing it. His breast is full of music. He sings when be Is mad, and he sings when he Is In jail. When in slavery he stopped ainglng, the white people knew that be was thinking and were troubled until the negro star tea to singing again. The negro will never dominate. He is a singing, not a thinking raoe. Inverting a phrase but recently coined but even now trite, Carroll de- elared that not only la it true that the southern white man Is the negro’s beat friend, but the negro is the beat friend of the white man. It Is the hvbrld races that the Anglo Saxon must fear, the mulattoea, of whom there are not enough to be a menace, the Indiana, the Mongolians. The Anglo-Saxons will In the next 25 years regret the day that they gave en couragement, sympathy or assistance to the Japanese. He read from Re velations John’s^ vision of the hor*'*, the respective color of which Carroll applied to the races of the earth. The black boriecarrying the balances ha said, la the bla< k man who vnll in to oome have the balance of power between the Anglo Saxon and the Mongolian, and he will turn that power to the white mao. The white vase will rate the world because of the aMtetance of the negro. Hede dared be would rather have the aoutbera white man’s problem than the northern white man’s. The north, from Us tldg of undesirable Immigration, will in tea yearn be ap- to the Booth for take the reins Into his own The white man of the north would be the friend of the white man of the south, no matter what may now be the idle tilk of "ferae bills*’ and measures to reduce representation In oon grass. At this point he digressed for a mo ment to say that the Ogden move ment, ao called, la not to elevate the negro, but to educate the ooor white people first. He had befen told this by men prominently connected" wKh the conference on a recent visit north, They are willing to leave the educa tion of the negro with the white peo ple of the south and that la why they would first educate the poor white people. The negro raoe will never rule any body else, he said, until they first learn to s;rve. The leading negro is today those who have good homes, and honorable families are the ones who were the best slaves. "It is our busi ness to serve; Cod Irft us here in the south to serve,” he said. Hs declared that the educated negro cares noth ing for social equality between the races. ‘*1 don’t care how b’gbly a negro may be educated, he hates to face a white man In eating.' "He doesn’t enjoy the raahuna’.’* v •*. • Education will not bring the negro any closer to the wbi'e man, socially. It will show just how far to go. It Is the ignorant negro who would rush in where angela and poor whites would not dare to tread. The filthiest kitchens In all the southern homes. The way to find a man out Is by his busk yard. His parlor Is always fixed for company, but go to the room where be sleeps, go to the kUebem The man who pays a oook 75 oen's a week, Is repaid In dlr;t# food. Bitter wagf's would get better service, although the negro likes the pay part • better than he does ; h-i w rk. Tne north era white people would not put up with the slovenly habits of the negro. A oook will go on an excursion, stay three or four days, and o me back to her job. She will burn up the rioe, burn up the biscuits, get discharged and be back at work the n-xt day. Hi told of a negro boy working In a hotel In this State who has learned at school that the greatest accomplish ment in life U to be able so to do h s work that no one can c >me behind him and do it any better. The race need* teachers. As the negro studies thedogy, he should study alsb how to farm. "Help the negro,” he appealed. "See that they have good teachers. If they get go id preachers, help the negroes to keep them, and when they get bad preach ers help them to get rid of them. The race 1* kept back because of the greatf power and influence of un worthy preachers, men who preach tone, and uot sense. He did a fine piece of acting to show bow igtidtant Rooeefkit is for the whits man. Ha merely wants the white man to help the negro up without any equality whatever. The Ogden movement is not to make raoe equality but to be gin by educating the ignorant white people. T$e "poor white man” hM not bean counted on aathe negro’s friend. The negro hM been fighting the poor white man for 300 yean and ha had better atop it. The poor white mBn la in the uddle, be la on the juries, and every man must reckon with him. The negro must get hlF friendship and good will. He declared that the suffrage discrimination la not nn In justice to the negro ao much m It is to the poor white man, who though ignorant la allowed to vote and Is thus kept in ignor mce. If voting an tagonlzes the white, man, if voting will retard the pregreas of the raoe, then do not vote. Let the white man do the voting. Let us get the cash. If the white men make laws which must not be obeyed by white and black alike, he Injures his own race. He again referred to the fight of The State for law and order, and de clared that when a man kills a negro and is acquitted because bis victim was a black man, hta next victim will ‘be a wbiteman. He lapsed Into an elcquent passage here, declaring that the stain of blood gulltlnesa will never away. He would rather be killed than to kill a man. It Is wrong for the white men to go ahead saying "the negro la rising too fast. ” It is true that there la an oc caslonal home being built. But the curse of loafing is killing out the raoe. Before the war the owner? made them come In at night. He talked of the fallacy of "sticking together like the white people. ” The white people do not stick together. When a white man wants to go up higher he d ies not tie himself to those of his raoe who are his Inferiors. It is wrong for negro preachers to tell their peo ple to usi; negro literature and have negro teachers only. Thft 50 years ago left aside their own civi lization and took up that of the Anglo Saxon. "Our relation to the white people bf the country is peculiar,” he said "If they did not exterminate the ne gro in 1876 they will not do it now. If the negro did n:>t burn them out then they will not, do It now. If there have not been race wars there will not be any now. The negro is not in tne white man’s way except the loafing ne^ro. Carroll repeated what be had said about the negro woman. No raoe is any better than its women. He ap peals to the white women to heip the negro women Teh them of G jd, tell • hem of salvation. This can be done without si orlficlng dignity. Negro** idohz t white people.

M preachers mumble som-ttbiag with no intelligence and aff.-ct their congrega tions marvelously, because the negr< is so su o ptible to sympathetic sounds. Before the war there was a servants' bouse in every yard. The white piople should keep their ser vants close to them. Make them sleep. Keep them away from fea tivals and revivals. The man who dot s without sleep will degenerate.. And here followed one of his only -1 Hurts at oratory, juid It was entire ly an unoonsolousfi ght, an apostrophe t' the womanhood of the south What Is it makes the Anglo-Saxon raoe proud and mighty? It is the white women. It is the home Booker Washington tells the negroe* to build fine bouses ao that they will be respected. Carroll declared that this would not do the negro any good There are too naanx among the negroes now. Too much bslck and mortar, mere dwelling. Home is woman. The negro woman Is treated worse |than the .woman of any other race In the world. There is a destroying angel on every corner awaiting the negro woman. Her own raoe will not pro tect her and the white man will not protect her. No raoe can rise above its women. White women should talk with negro women—not associate with them, but advise them. The educated white people of the south treat the negro better than any other set of people; and they are polite to the negro. v God gave Calhoun to South Carolina, He gave other great men to S -utb Carolina; He gave to South Carolina the great Hampton, who by raising his hand stopped the tide of feeling which might have swept the. negro off the continent; He gave to Sjuth Car olina Gonzales, who wrote honor and justice to the white mao, justice to the negro, ju tlce to ev>ry min This man set bis face like a flint to the task and although it lost him money, al though It oust him trim is, he pleaded for justice, and when God got through with him, be fell dead on the street, a patriot till the last A man proud ly born, wbo bad no love for the ne gro as an individual, but the ohamp ion bf law and ord*r, whose great pa per la yet dedicated to that cause Negroes were sold to the north and *o the south and blood was abed over them. But the nqgvt has had noth ing to do with It. Cam ii appealed for justice for the neero, protection fn m such hooka m "The Clansman,” which makes the people of the north think of the negro aa nothing bat a brute. The business men of a ourr- try are going to run It and they will run the negro out of politics. The dav hM passed, however, when a white man eae get an office by stooping *-o low af to abuse the negro. He told of a vlalt to President Booeevelt, and ha •eared Hie Wife Nearly to Death and Committed Suicide. A telegram t;0 the Baltimore Amer- loan says: The death of one person and hopeless ainsanlty In another have resulted from a silly practical joke. M. Edmond Lelouse, wishing to frighten hla wife, dressed ap a wax figure, the head of which and one of the hands ha lightly attached to the body by means of gam, and placed it In bed. While M. Lelouse was watch ing the proceedings from behind some draperies hla wife, about to retire, grasped what she supposed in the semi-darkness to be her husbands hand, but which waa in reality that of the wax figre. The hand^ cold and clammy, detached Itself from the limt and remained in her grasp. With a cry of terror Mme. Lelouse let the band'd rop to the ground and flung he; arms around the figure’s neck, when the head also became detached and rolled down upon the floor. The terror-stricken woman, uttering piero- Ing shrieks, ran madly down the stairs, where she waa stopped by some neigh bors and detalued. When the police arrived it waa found that she bad be come raving mad. Later she waa con veyed to the asylum. When the hus band wm apprised Thursday morning of the hopelessness of hia wife’s oon dition he poisoned himself by taking a dose of nitric acid. PUTTING IT STRONG.

Hampton, Carroli said that If the ne groes and the white people bad tot lowed the advice of Geo. Hampton just after the war, the country would be better off today. But the negroes followed strangers. With this be concluded his addrett. The large audience bad listened with close attention for an hour and 25 minutes. - --U - ‘ ’ , ' Hang tilin Twioe* At Pittsburg, Pa., two men were fliML churches hanged Toursday and the ffrst ubsuc- mrne lk ^ C ar e8kfulb * n « i,1 « w “ re0Orded ,n Alle gheny , county.

Mias Jeanette L. Gilder, qdltor ot The Critic, places the morals of di vorce in this lucid manner before the readers of the New York Globe: "Ah honest man does not repudiate hit- business responsibilities nor refuse to pay his gambling debts. Then why should he be considered honest in re pudiating bis domestic liabilities or refusing to pay a debt incurred lb the great lottery? It is not consid ered honest for a woman to have chil dren and no husband. Then why should it3)8~-considered honest for a woman to have children by two living men? They cannot both be her bus bards.
