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

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

William J Dyers followed. The loop

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.

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
