Cremation!
Among the ancient Greeks both cre

The ashes of the dead were sacredly
preserved In urns. Among the Jews
burial prevailed, as it has since among
Christian nations.

It Came Up On Questions of Contempt
and Was Removed to Special Master
Craige.
The North Carolina lease case was

were hold upon the certifications of
Special Master Craige, of the refusal
of a number of witnesses to testify at

and Col. Philip W. Ayirett appeared
for the Governor and the North Caro
lina Railroad and ex-Secretary John O.

Southern Railway Company.
After a prolonged and bitter argu
ment by Col. Avirett in favor of order
ing the witnesses to testify, and a brief
reply by Messrs. Busbee "and Carlisle,
Judge Simonton held that it was impos
sible for him to pass upon the questions
of contempt and competency unless the
recad of the whole case was before
him. He thereupon ordered the case to
bo remanded to Mr. Craige, who will
now hear tho evidence of the Southern
Eailway, after which the parties charg
ing fraud will bo allowed to offer further
evidence, and Judge Simonton will
then hear tho case. The defendants,

tory, while the Southern Railway peo

ELEVATING THE NEGRO.
The Work That is Being Done in
Charleston.
OUR WEEKLY RACE GLEANINGS.
What Howard Thinks of tho Race
Problem in New York City Lynch
Law a Menace to Government.
The Charleston (S. C.) News and
Courier says: "The doors of the
Charleston Industrial Institute, located
at the corner of Kracke and Bogrd
streets, were opened January 1, 1895.
This manual and industrial school
movement was started by a few intelli
gent colored men of this city, who felt
and believed that the Negro boys and
girls of today are growing up without a
knowledge of the trades and unac
quainted with skilled manual work.
iSince the school was opened four hun
dred and thirty-three boys and girls have
received instruction in English branches
and manual work. The third annual
prospectus of the Institute, issued last
June, sets forth the present workings
and condition of the school thus: 'For
a loug time the founders of this Bchool
have been deeply impressed with the in
creasingly large number of colored boys
and girls in this city, who are without
the means and facilities for obtaining
an industrial education and manual
training, and, moreover, thousands of
them cannot find even public school
accommodations here. When these
negro boys and girls should be learning
some usful trade and how to do good
and Bkilled work with their hands, so
that, in time, as men and women, they
might make an honorable livelihood,
scores of them at all hours of the day
may be seen upon the streets and in tho
public places of this city, growing up in
gross ignorance, idleness and vice.
Today the chain gang and
jail are crowded with negro
youths and thoy are being
constantly arrested by the officers of the
law for every petty crime and for larger
criminal offences. The intellectual, mor
al and industrial condition of many of
the young generation of the more than
thirty thousand colored peoplo of this
city is truly sad and alarming. To pro
vide a place where a plain English and
moral education and the knowledge of
industrial work and manual training
may be obtained thi3 institution was
established by men who seek the eleva
tion of the Negro race, and the welfare
of this city, in the confident hope that
so needful and worthy a movement as
this would be sustained by the benevo
lent friends of sufferincr humanity. In
addition to the elementary English
studies instruction has been given dur
ing the past year to more than two hun
dred children in sewing.domestic work,
blacksmithing, wheehvrighting, coach
painting and carpentr-.
"The great and pressing need of the
school is more class rooms for the lar
ger boys and girls who wish to enter
the school, and better facilities for the
many who desire to learn industrial and
manual work. The trustees of tbe
school have, therefore, concluded and
are now takinsr steps to erect a large
industrial school building at the corner
of Bogard street, in which provision
will be made for tho practical instruc
tion of several hundred children. This
building will cost about ft-l.OOO, a larse
part of which amount has been already
contributed by friends here and else
where. Mr. H. P. Hanson, an educated,
prominent and practical business man
of Boston, has been placed in charge of
the school, and would be glad to have
friends call and see the work and help
it."
Tho following is William H. How
ard's opinion of the race problem in
New York city: "After reading the
different articles on tho Negro in New
York, we are forced to the conclusion
that we are upon a vast stago of which
New York is the theatre. Here it is the
Negro is thrown violently against the
forces of civilization such as exist
nowhere else in this country. Here it
is a man can rub shoulders with all
nations, thereby having a chance to
measure himseif by other standards
than his own. Then, is it any wondor
that the Negro should at first become
intoxicated and digress a little from the
straight line of rectitude taught in the
South?
"The negro has been kept down and
when he comes North and has made
some money, he wishes to enjoy hini
seff some. It is too much to expect
him to settle down and become au an
gel. Give him time to take his bear
iugs. In a generation from now he
will have opened his eyes to all this
folly, and who doubts that he will givo
a good account of himself?
"If some white man had not discov
ered 'that party,' whoso poetical words
are read on two hemispheres, where
would he be? We love to hear people
talktosoino purpose, besides showing
how nicely they can write the English
language.
The history of the jews in many re
spects is the history of the Necro race
in America repeated. As a race we
hold a solitary and isolate position in
this country. We are citizens in writ
ten law but sojourners and foreigners
in interpreted and applied law. The
gods of human prejudice may conspire
to chain us down, but we mean to snap
the chain of injustice with ono hand
and with the other unite our future as
American citizens with that of other
races. The pross and ballot will write
our political worth when the fight of
1900 is over, and the pulpit will echo in
glorious strains "We have fought a
good fight. "National ,-Afro-American
Independent.
We harp a great deal about the Negro
being a part of this government, but tbe
other follows don't think so. They dis
criminate against him in free school
facilities, upon railroads and in hotels,
deny him representation upon juries,
and fail to keep and protect him in his
contracts for labor and lynch him for
imaginary offenses. There is something
wrong somewhere and it is either in the
government or the Negro. Will some
good brother "rise up" in meeting and
tell us who is rip:ht, the government or
the Negro? The Standard.
Build up our race enterprises. Spend
some of your money with those of the
race who show by their efforts that they
are trying to earn an honest living by
doing an honest, legitimate business".

The Musical Blacksmith.
"I was walking along a hot, dusty
street In Rt-dwood City the other day,"
remarked a tourist, "when I stopped to
rest In the shade of the village smithy.
The smith was a giant in stature, and,
with the sleeves of his red flannel shirt
rolled up to his brawny shoulder and
his big leather apron on, he was as pic
turesque a son of Vulcan as I ever saw.
"I watched him blowing his wheezy
old bellows, and then as he commenced
fashioning a horseshoe he broke out
Into song. It was 'The Armorer's Song,'
from Robin Hood, that made the sooty
rafters ring.
" 'Let hammer on anvil ring, ring,
ring,' he eang, as he struck the white
hot iron blow after blow that made the
fiery sparks fly. Then followed the fa
miliar 'Cling, clang, cling, clang.'
"I have beard Cowles sing that a doz
en times, and I have heard ambitious
amateurs sing it all over tbe world, but
that song never stirred me as It did
when I heard that blacksmith's mighty
voice singing it over his anvil. I will
never forget It as long as I live."
The singer was big Bill McDonald,
the second bass In Grace Church choir.

The Supreme Court has given Ben
Groves, of Wake "county, a new trial.
He was tried for murder in the first de
gree and found guilty in the second
degree The Supreme Court now says
that the case goes back and that he
must be tried for murder as originally
charged. Ilia counsel raised the point
that the verdict in the court below
stands as an acquittal of murder in tho
first degree, and they will raise the
Federal question as to whether another
trial for murder in the first degree
would not put him in jeopardy twice.
It is a new and interesting question.

" ' Tobacco and Cotton.
The Savannah News says: "The
planters of South Carolina, Georgiaand
Florida are not suffering because of the
current low prices of cotton to the ei
tent that they would in all probability
have suffered u few years ago with the
same price for the reason that they are
now diversifying their crops and raisiog
their provisions. They are, however,
heavy losers through tho fact that more
cotton is being produced than the world
wants, or the ability of speculators to
depress the prices of ihe staple until the
crop is all out of tho hands of the pro
ducers, as the case may be. But what
ever may bo the cause "of the low price
of cotton, it is evident that there must
bo still further diversification of crops.
Cotton must be given less attention and
acreage, and other crops more
of each. Tobacco seems to be
one of the most promising
money crops for this section. After
the disaster to tho Florida orange groves
many of the grove-owners turned their
attention to vegetable, grain and to
bacco crops, and today they are more
prosperous than they were before their
orange trees were destroyed. The orange
trees aro now growing "again, and the
indications are that it will not be a
great whilo before the fruit will bo as
great a source of revenue in Florida s
ever before. Rut the planters will not
give up their vegetables, grain and to
bacco and again depend altogether upon
oranges. The orange crop will be some
what in tbe uature of an extra source of
income. There is considerable tobacco
grown in South Carolina and more in
Florida. Georgia produces but little.
The climate and soil of this State, bow
ever, are well adapted to the cultivation
of the tobacco plant. Tobacco crowing
in the State would not be an'experi
nient Before cotton became the great
crop, tobacco was grown on the Georgia
seacoast and for a hundred miles in
land." Cotton,
like every other crop, needs
nourishment.
A fertilizer containing nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and not
less than of actual
Potash,
will increase the crop and im
prove the land.
Our books tell all about the subject. They
are free to any farmer.
