"ear Editor—I wish to give a brie letch of the Centennial Jubilee of ou: Jreat Zion held by the Washington dis rict conference of the North Carolint inference, at Greenville, N. C-, Sep Somber 14th. The greater part of thi ay was spent in hearing papers am |iscussions on subjects touching th< rentful period of Zion Methodism The program (in part) consisted ii papers by A. A. Crook on the “Origin o fche A. M. E. Zion church,” “Churcl joyalty” by Rev- T. H. Lovick, Wilson C. “Future of the A. M. E. Zioi 3hurch,” by Rev. H. Bell, Washington ind an Original poem by Miss Sarah Jonei Washington, N. C. The papers brough irth great discussions by the minister! if .the conference who are not wanting for words to express their love for anc loyalty to the church of their choice. The climax of the occasion, however was reserved for Rev. J. W. Smith, D.D. editor of our church organ, who was tc preach the the Centennial sermon. Ai 8 p. m., when this divine ascended the rostrum with Revs. D. T. Mitchell, P. E. H. B. Williams, and A. A. Crooke, asso ciating him, there was not standing roon in the church. After the preliminary exercises, the presiding elder in a feu remarks expressed the peculiar pleasure it gave hinj4o have the speaker of tin house with us, then introduced him tc the audience. Rev. Smith arose anc thanked him for his kind words. He saiq he was proud to be present for sev eraf reasons, but appreciated the honoi principally because the occasion afforded him an opportunity to talk for Zion— the church in which he was born, lives in, aud hopes to die in. He announced as sf text Psalms 48 :12 [alk aboutyZion, and go round her : tell the towers thereof,” etc speaker began by giving an exposi the word “Zion” as referred to ir Jook. After which he gave a shorl y of the A. M. E. Zion church its origin to the present. This of the discourse was graphic anc resting, and brought our enthu ijc applauses from his hearers. H< treated his subject proper, anc strong reasons why we ought tc Ilk about Zion.” He not only ap led to the members of our churcl others who are not members o: [church. In his appeal to sinners tc |the ranks, the great audience charm the pathos, vivid imagination anc jry combined, burst forth into joy tears. The 1 speaker concluded b; lg all Zionites to be faithful to thei church until death. He said hi ks to hold,on to the old ship of Zioi Je sails the boistorous seas of trouble [tion and tribulation until she land It. Zion and he shakes hands wit! kops Varick, Rush, Jones, Thompson Ire; Drs. Price, Stitt and others whi I watching and waiting at the portal lory for him. He sat down amids ats and cries. Rarely do we hav [ pleasure of hearing so scholarly am piling a discourse as that given b; Smith. The writer does not sa luch when he asserts that the edit as made an indelible impression o: Pminds of the brethren, who wil by him as editor of our organ. L. B.

(HOP HARRIS’ APPOINTMENTS. OCTOBKB Salisbury, N.C Whiteville, “ fet. conference], Southport, “ ■Brown’s Chapel circuit, “ l LukOs), Wilmington, “. { NOVEMBER Lf^dge con.) Knoxville, Ten; The Afro-i .merioan women of Ai lanta, Ga., ccvered themselves wit honor and g ory when they met t masse and passed resolutionsdenounc ing the aetioi of the officials of th Atlanta Traction R. R. Company fo their indiscreet and ungentlemanl; execution of the power vested ii themsby a biased and prejudiced leg islature.Th< se resolutions but be speak the sen iment of the race lead ers, whose veiy heart-strings tightei with anger, when such indignities ar thrust upon tiem. Would to (tad that in every town village and himlet where undue an< unjust discrimination is brought t bear upon the race, that we coul< muster volunl eer heroines with suffi cient womanh jod and unswerving vol ition to publicly vituperate such un relenting pusillanimous actions. These patri )tic, liberty-loving worn en have sounded the proper key-noti and ere long we hope to see the frui of thei^ labor i. They have endeare< themselves tc the hearts of their fel low country-women by their bold an< courageous st md in defense of an ill fated race. We earnestly hope tha the better claBS of Afro-Americans ii Atlanta will make sacrifices and wall to and from their places of bueines wherever ani whenever they can and I verily believe that in thus boy cotting the railways the companie may yet see i.he necessity of makinj better arrangement for all classes anc conditions of mankind regardless o race or color. In “Majors and Minors” of las week we read with peculiar interes and pleasure a review of ‘‘Gottoi Land,” by Prof. W. F. Fonvielle, o Newbern.N. 0. “Cotton Land” was written by some half-bred English' man who undoubtedly regarded th< servants who happened to come ir contact with aim as true specimens o fully developed Afro-American man hood. He very unjustly judges the many by the few. He doubtless sol iloquized as he was dashing along with all the rapidity of steam locomo tion, that all the rough hewn log cab ins in the cotton belt were domiciled by lazy Negroes (as he would teigr call them) and their little pickanin nies; but he was never so wrong ir his life. Dr. Dobson undoubtedly be longs to that class of heartless Anglo Saxons who believe that the Afro American, w .11 be an imitator of th< Anglo-Saxon through life and aftei death there will be a kind of a kitch en annexed to heaven for the hopelesi “Negroes,” a s their imitation of relig ion would be too imperfect for then to enter paradise proper. O, shami where is thy blush? The gentleman in question seem never to lave heard of our la mented Douglass and Price. Hi seems not to know that we have Uni versities, Colleges, Seminaries and In stitutes controlled and manned by ou own race. He seems not to knov that we have our own lawyers.doc tors, teachers and preachers who ar peers of hit; best fellow countrymen He seems not to know that the so ciety of the Afro-American is grade< and that there are social barrier which prevent him from socially meeting pur cultured and refined so ciety; and hi is impossible for him fc come to America and in one year fiu< out the true status of what he call the American Negro. Yes, just a impossible is it would be for an or dinary Afro-American to go to Eng land and enter the best society rp gardless of his station in life. One big point of his is that th mixed bloods loose their teeth early What nonsense! How could he ex amine the i;eeth often million soul in one lone year ? The fact is th Anglo-Saxons, as a rule, order fals teeth as soon as their natural one leave them and so do all Afro-Ameri cans who aire not averse to them. I just happened that the few servant he met had not saved enough of thei paltry wagss to thus supplement na tore. ,. This man is like all others of hi class from Europe who come her and pander to the prejudices of th lower class of whites in this countr and hardly put foot on American so: tire their r ostrils are inflated by th “nigger” stench. We would sugges Hiai Senator Tillman take Mr. Dot Son, tme^c thor of “Cotton Land," fc a sail acro iS the Hellespont and bot come back wiser and better men. Neichen i, N. JJ. Mr. Qeorge H. Thompson, brother law of our Editor, " __ irkvi inkful for the aubeorip i from the Kentuoky anc nferences, but we mu* the amount of $16 wai quite small from a conference that as many members on it? JroU^as th« Kentucky and pr^ded^tfver by sc energetic and JrftarestgQ- a gentleman as Bishop^J^^Tnton, D. D. What wae thi^pKble ? We have received list of subscribers yet from the Allegheny conference. Perhaps nearly all the ministers had paid up. Yon see, brethren, when the general conference put the Star at one dol lar per year,' it also said that this one dollar was to be paid in advance. This can be done. If you will say it will be done {by each one doing his part, then you may expect your Star to shine more brightly still. OUR SALESMEN. We have on our list of salesmen at present 108 persons who receive from 3 to 30 papers weekly. The most ol these are doing well and helping mat erially. The champion Star seller is our friend, Rev. W. B. Fenderson, S.T. B., cf Allegheny, Pa. He sells all his papers—30—and settles prompt t ly at the end of each month. Then, ( too, the church at Elmira of which . Rev. S. L. Corrothers is pastor, does j most excellently, also the Mobile church of which the great-hearted Dr. Moreland is pastor. } Mr. W. C. Chapman of Carlisle; f Miss Jenifer and Miss A. M. Broadie | of Washington, D. C.; Rev. M. J. p Snow, of Johnstown, and a host ol others are certainly aiding by selling We have a few on our list who have not ma le any report whatever and we have been sending them ex ? tra copies for nearly two months. We want to say emphatically unless all the salesmen and saleswomen can settle up monthly as we require, we prefer not to have them sell. There , must be a rule to everything, and in this case we prefer to keep the pa pers in the building and sell them for old papers than to pay the postage on them to persons who cannot sell them or who, having sold them, will not re mit the money monthly. Unless we hear from the parties referred to within a week after this issue, their papers will be stopped promptly. Will the brethren please not ask us to enter any name on our subscription book unless the cash accompanies name? We.will send a sample copy free. But no one’s name can go on our books* without the cash. Only the cash can carry on the Star. , SUNDAY-SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. It is rather surprising to observe i the large number of our best Sunday s schools which calmly refuse to take our literature after nearly every ob i jection heretofore made against it has . been removed. If we had the support y of Mother Zion in New York, Wesley - in Philadelphia, the Washington . churches, Hartford, St Peter’s at New r bern, St. Luke at Wilmington, Evan’e r Chapel at Fayetteville, Logan Temple . at Knoxville, Jacob-st. Tabernacle at > Louisville, State-st., Mobile, Washing . ton Chapel, St. Louis and Evansville, . our proceeds rfrould be increased over [ $100. And besides this, these church - 3 es referred to have for their pastors r ministers who are considered loyal . and who are working for the entire j good of the church. There is a little l incongruity somewhere; something 3 must be “rotten in Denmark.” Do 3 you know who some of these pastors . are who allow their schools to take - literature from another house ? Just - glance your eye again over the church es mentioned and their namss will 3 possibly be sugge->ted. With the uni . versal patronage of the Sunday - schools there would.be but little diffi 3 culty in meeting all the expense oi j this department each quarter. The penmanship of many of us is poor at its best; but some letters reach us only by guess on the part ol the postal clerks and after reaching us we can scarcely decipher their mean ing. There are two ia the office now waiting for a complaint from some source so we can enter them and fill the orders. There is another envelops which contained $1.02 without a lins or instruction or any name whatever There was not even a clear posta mark by which the place might b< guessed. Then there are several let ters without any signature. But the greatest nuisance we hav* yet had to deal with is the act on ths part of two elders in our church it sending stamps. They just licked ths stamps and pasted them over ths writing so the letters bad te be put it water and the stamps soaked off be fore we got any information.

' The Zion church supports seven teen institutions of learning. Chief of these is Livingstone College, at Salisbury. >N. C., founded by the North Carolina annual conference. It was mainly through the efforts of the late Dr. J. C. Price, the well-known educator, that Livingstone College be came one of the most noted of the in stitutions maintained for the higher education of Afro-American youth. The College has four large buildings and several smaller ones. Hunting ton Hall is the main building, Stan ford Seminary, including Hopkin’s Hall, isused as a dormitory for young women, while the young men occupy Dodge Hall. Ballard Industrial Hall is used for carpentry and cabinet work. The stone used in the con struction of the buildings was quaf ried from the grounds, and the brick made on the grounds by the college people. The college has an appropri ation of $6,000 per annum from the general fund of the church. The church has a Book Concern at 353 Blgecker Street, New York. It is controlled by tr Board of Managers, of which Bishop A. Walters, D. D., is president. The church also has a large brick publishing house at Char lotte, N. C., from which most of the church publications are issued. The growth of the church and its present strength are shown by the following statistics: Number of Bishops 9, general officers 17, presid ing elders 80, traveling elders 1,270, local elders 223, traveling deacons 588, local deacons 316, traveling preachers 397, local preachers 1,077 superannuated preachers 76, export ers 913, membership 497,845, organ za tions 1,981, church buildings, 1, 615, with seating capacity for 604, 327, other places of worship 366, val uation of church property $3,510, 189, valuation of parsonage property $177,162.
