Luther Burbank, the "Plant
Wizard, died Sunday at the ripe
age of 77 years. Although for
many years he has beenf performing
miracles as it were in
? t.ho plant wo^ld. yet many peo
pie had never heard of him until
a few weeks ago faer armounccd
that he was an "infidel." This
world- howev-eiyjwmild .be. much
better off with thousands of
? more "infidels" on the order of
I^uther Burbank.
To prove that the Negro was
an inferior race, resort, at one

time, was made to thd?i>ible.

Did not God curse Ham frbm

seemed to have become a
little weak^ so now science is
called upon, but real scientists

white legislatures are devising
every possible kind of laws to
prove what'Biblical and so- cal
led scientific proof could not sustain.

STILL AT IT?THE STATE

When the State Colored Fair
Association met last February
and voted to mlitualize. we had
our doubts then about a surcease
r -of continued abuse and knocks
on the part of those Few who
, h'ave"Tjeen for selfish purposes
opposing it. It is a fact, and
: ' well known, that everyone of
%r- ?... *
the chronic knockers had some
kind of a -personal grievance^either
in the form of ambition
thwarted or by a severance from
the treasury of sai<TAssociation.
K" " Of course, they try to impress
folks that they are kicking in
the interest of the "dear peepuP*
