WW' PUINJTlLK. Rev, Richard Carroll, Colored, Appeals to His Race. EDUCATED NEUKOES He Claims Will Not be a Menace to, But the Ally of the White Man. Pleads for Negro Women. No Race Can Rise Higher Then Its Womanhood. Richard Carroll, a negro baptist /prtjaohcr, who Is running an industrial homo near Columbia for n<gro orphans, preached to large audiences in Columbia on Sunday, April 2, a doctrine new to nearly all of his hearers. He believes that he has a mission In flilu tii/\vlri O mluoh it f n rvlnn /-I #/i?i tun l/uio nv/i iU| c% >uiooiv, (i vu l\JI JU3* tioe for the negro, and to plead with the negro to let alone those things with which they should have naught to do, to aspire to be a worthy follower rather than a shiftless leader. The State says while the opera house was not crowded still it Is a fact that at the two services probably 1,800 people listened to this eloquent negro. It may be that some might have gone from curlcsity, but every oue who heard him would go back next Sunday if Carroll were to speak again. The man's eloquence consists not in ora tory, for rarely does he permit himself to indulge in rhetoric, but in his statement of conditions in a way which can but make each race feel the more kindly toward the other. It was with no show of fear and with favor to none that Carroll spoke. If he gave loatlng negroes a verbal 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 suggestions which are the crystaUzed rtllec tlons of the thought of this negro who loves all the south, including even the so-called "poor white man." I)r. Fliun in presenting Carroll told of the orphan home near the citv, built on the site of the ante-bellum mansion of the Trenholms and later : ~ T * Luc uuiue ui llcv. j uu. u. uirarocau. D. 1)., one of the most eloquent preachers in America, who had given many years of his best work to the uplifting of the negro. Dr. Fllnn declared that the southern white people should do all they oan to educate the negro, to reinstate in a measure that tine family control of the old south which was so muoh for the negro's own good. Dr. Fllnn at the night meeting told of his visit to the orphan home. He remarked upon the cleanliness which there he found. Economy and industry are taught there. Nothing is wasted and each ward of the institu tion lias his work to do. The institution teaches morality by precpt and by example. He declared Carroll to be a thoroughly unseltlsh man. Carroll oaptured the attention of the audience from the very outset. There was no diflldence in his manner. He had a message, he had the power to deliver that message, and he felt it. While he has the clem^ats of an orator, he did not at" tempt anf tine speaking except on one or two thoughts, particularly his tribute to southern womanhood. While the lower lloor of the opera house was nearly filled with white people, there was not Such a large crowd of negroes on the balcony above which had been reserved for the negroes. Sunday night the attendance of negroes had nearly doubled, show ing that Carroll is coming more into favor with his own people. Carroll deolared that he docs not like to talk to a mixed audience, for he cannot say to the white people what he would like for fear of Riving to negroes the Idea that he is impertinent. The white people would understand him. The negro served the south faith? -fully for 200 years. He made the south rloh. The south before the war was the riohest section of the world. The negro can make the south rich again. When the men of the south went to war, the negro served them faithfully; he burned no house, he 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 had negro rule. The negro is not a race to rule, but to follow. No race so musical oan rule. The negro needs no .organ. lie buys one because he sees the white man buying it. Ills breast is full of musio. He sings when he is mad, and he sings when he is in jail. When in slavery be -^ topped singing, the white people % ^fl^new that he was thinking and were trtpuoied until the negro started to Singing again. The negro will never /dominate. lie is a singing, not a / thinking race. inverting a phrase but recently / coined but even now trite, Carroll declared that not only is it true that .the southern white man Is the negro's .. D6Hi mena, out tne negro is tne best friend of the white man. It is the hybrid races that the Anglo-Saxon jmnt fear, the mulattoes, of whom Inereare not enough to be a menace, the Indians, the Mongolians. The jMglo-Saxons will in the next 25 years f teg ret the day that they gave en. | coursgement, sympathy or assistance to the Japanese. He read from Re* Relations John's vision of the horses, Mihe respective color of whioh Carroll v applied to the race* of the earth. ' The blaok horse carrying the balances, |. he said, is the black man who will in time to come have the balance of power between the Anglo-Saxon and the Mongolian,' and he will turn that power to the white man. The whito race will rule the world because of the assistance of the negro. He declared he would rather have the southern white man's problem than the northern white man's. The north, from its tide of undesirable Immigration, will in ten years be appealing to the south for assistance. And the negro will help the white man then, he exclaimed. Gen. Lee wanted the negroes put into regiments to defend the south, hut other southern captains differed with him, and "Father Abraham" c*me along and marshalled the negro Into battle array under the flag of the union. Why has not the negro been exterminated, he asked. At the risk of Wing called a traitor by his own ^^Weojale he would make some suggcs fought with the Jews until the streets ran red with blood, and Titus begged them to surrender to himself as he 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 he would attempt to take the reins into his own hands. 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 talk of "forco bills" and measures (/) reduce representation in congress. At this point hedigrassed (or a moment to say that the Ogden movement, so called, is not to elevate the negro, but to educate the noor while people first. He had been told this by men prominently connected with the conference on a recent visit north. I They are willing to leave the education of the negro with the white people of the south and that is why they would first educate the poor white people. The negro race will never rule any body else, he said, until they first learn to sirve. The leading negro is today those who have good homas, and houorable families are the ones who were the best slaves. ''It is our business to serve; God left us here in the south to serve," he said. He declared that the educated negro cares nothing for social equality between the races. "1 don't care how h'ghly a negro may be educated, he hates to face a white man in eating. He do-'sn't enjoy the iashuns\" Elucation will not bring the negro any closer to the white man, socially. It will show just how far to go. It Is the ignorant negro who would rush iu where angels and poor whites would not dare to tread. The filthiest kitchens in all the world are in southern homes. The way to find a man out is by his back yard. Ills Darlor is alwavH fnr company, but. go to the room where he sleeps, go to the kitchen. The man who pays a cook 75 cen's a week, Is repaid In dirty food. Bitter wages would get better service, although the negro likes the pay part better than he does the work. Tae northern white people would not put up with the slovenly habits of the negro. A cook will go on an excursion, stay three or four days, arid c >me back to her Job. She will burn up the rice, burn up the biscuits, get discharged and bo back at work the next day. He told of a negro boy working In a hotel In this State who has learned at school that the greatest accomplish ment In life is to be able so to do his work that no one can onrue behind him and do it any better. The race needs teachers. As the negro studies theology, he should study also how to farm. "Help the negro," he appealed. "See that they have good teachers. If they get good preachers, help the negroes to keep them, and when they get bad preachers help them to get rid of them. The race is kept back because of the great power and Influence of un worthy preachers, men who preach tone, and not sense. He did a tine piece of acting to show how Ignorant preachers mumble something with no intelligence and affect their congregations marvelonsly, because the negro is SO SU C3Dfclhlfi t.n Bvmn.nhot.lft sounds. Hefore the war there was a servants' house In every yard. The white p< ople should keep their servauts close to them. Make them sleep. Keep them away from festivals and revivals. The man who docs without sleep will degenerate. And here followed one of his only < IT irts at oratory, and it was entire ly an unconscious II ght, an apostrophe t> the womanhood of the south What is It makes the Anglo-Saxon race proud and mighty? It Is the white women. It is the h uric. Hooker Washington tells the negroes to build line houses so that they will be respected. Carroll declared that this would not do the negro any good There are too many tine churches among tire negroes now. Too much brick and mortar. Home is not a mere dwelling. Home is woman. The negN) woman is treated worse than the woman of any other race in the world. There is a destroying angel on every corner awaiting the nrgro woman. Iler own race will not protect her arcl the white man will not protect her. No race can rise above its women. White women should talk with negro women?not associate with them, but advise them. The educated white prople of the south treat the negro better than any other set of people, and they are polite to the negro. God gave Calhoun to Sonth Carolina, He gave other great men to South 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 oil umf continent; lie nave to South Car olina Gonzales, who wrote honor and justice to the white man, justice to the negro, Jintlce to every man. This man set his face like a tlint to the task and although it lost him money, al though it cost him friends, he pleaded for Justice, and when God got through with him, he fell dead on the street, a patriot till the last. A man proudly born, who had no love for the negro as an individual, but the champ-" Ion of law and order, whose great pa per is yet dedicated to that cause. Negroes were sold to the north and to the south and blood was shed over them. But the negro has had nothing to do with it. Carroll appealed for justice for the neirro, protection from suoh books as "The Clansman," whloh makes the people of the north think of the. negro as nothing but a brute. The business men of a country arc going to run it and they will run the negro out of politics. The day has passed, however, when a white man can get an otllce by stooping so low as to abuse the negro. He told of a visit to President Roosevelt, and he declared his firm belief that Mr. Roosevelt is for the white man. He merely wants the white man to Vlp the negro up with'-ut any equality whatever. The Ogden movement is not to make raco equality but to begin by educating the Ignorant white people. The "poor white man" has not been counted on as the negro's friend. The negro has been fighting the poor white man for 300 years and he had better stop it. The poor white man is in the saddle, he is on the juries, and every man must reckon with him. The negro must get his friendship and good will. He declared that the suffrage discrimination is not an injustice to the pegro so much as it is to the poor white man, who though ignorant is allowed to vote and is thus kept inignormce. If voting antagoni/.es the white man, if voting ' will retard the progress of the race, then do not vote. Let the white man do the voting. Let us get the cash. If the white men make laws whloh < must not be obeyed by white and and is acquitted because his victim was a black man, hla next vlotim will be a white man. He lapsed Into an elcquent passage here, declaring that , the stain of blood guiltiness 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 is rising too fast." It Is true that there Is an occasional home being built. But the curse of loating is killing out the race. Before the war the owners made them come in at night. He talked of the fallacy of "sticking together like the white people." The white people do i not stick together. When a white man wants to go up higher he does not tie himself to those of his raoe who are his Inferiors. It is wrong for negro preachers to tell their people to use negro literature and have negro teachers only. The Japanese 50 years ago left aside their own civilization and took up that of the AngloSaxon. "Our relation to the white people of the country Is peculiar," he said. "If they did not exterminate the negro In 1876 they will not do It now. If the negro did not 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 the white man's way except the loafing negro. Carroll repeated what he had said about the negro woman. No ruce is any better than Its women, lie appeals to the white women to help the negro women Tell them of God, tell them of salvation. This can be done without sacrificing dignity. Negroes idolize white people. And such talk to negroes from white women would have wonderful etTeit if done in dignity as is the case of one noble woman in Camden whose name he mentioned with a very prayer on his lips it I socmen. negroes are slanderers. Tney stand off and abuse. But never fear them, they are the white m&u's best friends, and will bo taught as children. "1 lovo my race, I want to see them prosper. But unless you go to work Immigrants will come in here and take your places. The north Is no place for the mgro. He should go back to the farm In the south. The degradation of the negro women is the degradatl n of the white man and lie plead, d earnestly for better homes on the farms for uegro tenants. Tuere should lie a room for the boys, a room for the girls, a room for the man and wife and an assembly room." II. j de clared that the morals of the white p ople are sure to lie affected by the morals of the negroes. He told an .tut-cdoLe of Gen Hampton coming down to the State house to plead with Gov. lltohardson for an attentive audience for s ime negro preachers, one of whom was Carroll. After paying a tine tribute to Gen. Hampton, Carroli said that if the tie groes and the white people had fol lowed the advice of Gen. Hampton j ist after the war, the c mntry would be better off today. But, the negroes followed sirang"rs. Willi tills be concluded Ids address. Tiie large audience had listened with close attention for an hour and 25 minutes. Foully Murderod. Jeff I) naldson, a well known negro brick layer, was shot through ttic heart and Irs'antly killed Saturday night at about 0.30 o'clock. l)jnaldson had just returned home from North wheie lie lias been for the n s^, iw j weeks engaged in his profession, lie lives in the surburbs of this city, and was killed upon his door step by party or parties as yet unknown. Donaldson bore a good reputation as a peaceable hard worki: g mason, and while It !s true that lie has been in some trouble in the past, he has never seemed to be c f a rowdy nature. It is said that when he returned to his home Saturday night, all of his family had retired and that the lights were out. He called to his wife to let her know that he had arrived, and she replied that she would get a light and open the door. This she did, I) >naldson, it Is said, had reached the steps when the door opened and as the light 11 joded the pathway to the gate, a pis >ol tired, and he fell forward upon ids own door stop, shot through the heart. He expired almost immediate ly. Sunday a coroners jury was em panelled, viewed the body, and took all the evidence possible In the case. Nothing of much Importance was deduced and the usual verdict in such cases was rendered. The whole matter has been turned over to the Sheriff's oflioe as the killing occurred outside of the Incorporate limits. The case is being worked up and it is probable that an arrest will soon follow.?The Times and Democrat. Huiik Him Twice.

Young 1 CHICAGO ELECTION. rhe Democrats Won a Great Victory Over the Bepnblic&ns. Municipal Ownerwhlp or Publlo Utilities tMo Issue on Which the Battle Was Fought and Won. A dispatch from Chlo&go Hays a political tornado on Tuesday, April 4, overwhelmed ouc of the moat ruggedly unique leaders in the oountry. Incidentally, the Republican party met defeat in a memorable effort to capture the mayoralty of Chicago. As & direct result the city is officially committed to the policy of the quickest possible cessation of private franchises for public utilities. Muniolpal ownership is especially threatening street car lines, valued high up in the millions. After winning successively four remarkable biennial tights of independents against the regular Republican party organization ' here, John Maynard Harlan, son of Associate Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, was a loser as Republican candidate for mayor. The defeat is attributed to an extraordinary whirl of causes starting with political revenge and taking in a wide sweep, embracing the most up to date SocialIsm as a factor. The victor Is Judge Edward F. Dunne, Democrat. Seldom, if ever, lias Chicago witnessed a more lively, picturesque con test. Tuesday, particularly, the city was hideous with the ringing of cow l>ells and the roar of catiuon chackers.v It was a raw, blustering day, gh o ny and co'.d for the most part uutil about the hour for the close of Siting. The sunburst then was not hailed Joyfully by the Republicans who felt that even in the matter of electlou weather the party had been under a severe handicap Appeals to fear of domination by corporate wealth appeared to sway many voters, and, perhaps more thau any other Inllueic:, was Inoorrcctly gauged by the Republicans. Iiarlau had been savagely harassed during the cam pa go asihe reputed represent-a. Live of Wall street Interests Intent ou fastening burdensome franchise grants upon the city. The Republicans, however, had figured that the voters susoeptlble to appeals of this kind would support the Socialist candidate. Collins, and that looses, If any, tj the Republicans would be more than made up by Harlan's old time admirers among Independent voters. Estimates, however of 50 000 votes as the total for Collins, Socialist, fell wofully short. The chief error In this respect was appearantly in regard to the amount of loss from the Demo crats to the Socialists The advocacy of immediate municipal ownership radically vo oed by Judge Duuue out lieroded any move by Collins. Calculations upon colored voters were a source of error in Republican expectations. An unmistakable defection, suddenly manifested In the districts where Afro Americans are numerous gave a >e .ere j ?lt to Republican campaign managers. The most plausible explanation was that Judge Dunne from the bench in years had shown an unexampled spirit of fairness toward colored men and women in exigencies when freedom from race prejudice was sorely needed. An upheaval among temperance advocates against Harlan undoubtedly did much to ruin his chances. The smallne s of the Prohibition vote is regarded by many as evidence that temperance voters, regarding him as a special enemy, voted for Dunne, In apprehension that Harlln might win if too many votes were g.veu the Pro hlbition nominee. One ef the amusing features that is recalled now as tending to centre good natured feeling In Judge Dunne's behalf, is his record as a father. He is the happy father of thirteen chil dren. Tiiis phase of the campaign was attended to by "Pop" Anson, who has an almost equally meritorious record in family matters. Anson, the old time hero of the base ball diamond, was the Democrat c candidate for city clerk. His popularity, personally, was beyond a doubt a potent help to the Democrats, who seemed to hugely appreciate tils campaign statistics designed to prove that the Democracy, at least in Chicago, are the original and only genuine opponents of race suicide. Judge Dunne was elected by a plurality of 24 248 and received a majority of 945 of all the votes cast. He also had the distinction of receiving the greatest vote ever cast In Chicago for a candidate for the office of mayor. He was given 171,659 votes out of a total of 322 373 Mr. Harlan, the Republican candidate, received 137,411, Collins, the Socialist candidate, 2o 323, and Stewart, Pro hibltlon, 2,980. John F. Smulskl. the Republican candidate for city attorney, was re elected over his Democratic opponent by nearly 15.000 votes. The other candidates on the Democratic city ticket were elected by pluralities somewhat smaller than Judge Dunne. Frederick W. Bl< ck was elected city treasurer and Adrian C. Anson, city olerk. Hhot tier SwflOthi<?rt At Huntsvllle, Ala., Thursday Hill A.

The woman came to Huntsvllle Thursday morning, purBhased a pistol and went to Ballard's boardlc g house, called him to the door auu upen a nre on him.

THREE MBN KILLED By an Explosion In a Cartridge Factory In Bridgeport. At Bridgeport, Conn., In a terrific explosh n that blew to pieces one of the brick buildings of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company shortly before the close of the day's work Wednesday, three men were lnstantl) killed. Great crowds gathered and in the panic that followed women faint ed and made frantic efforts to get within the walls surrounding tin plant, as it was reported that many lives were lost. They were held in check, however, and the employees in the other buildings made their escape In safety, The apparent horror of the situation was increased by the breaking out of tire and the appearance of am bulances and morgue wagons, which rattled up to the factory. A few moments after the explosion occurred the tire department arrived on the scene and succeeded in checking the llames quickly. The only man in the but ding at the time, John Meary, was blown through the roof, with a great mass of debris, and fell dead. Two helpers, Michael Hurley and William Bavliss. working building, also were killed. The explosion cccurred In the dry house, where primers caps are dried on long steam pipes. In some manner one of the caps was discharged and the explosion followed. The foundations of every building were skaken as if by an earthquake and the explosion was felt in houses within a radius of a mile.
