Boston Mass., Aug. 14. The Cor rational Council of the A. M. E. Zlon Church composed of the bishops and general officers! assembled here to-day at 10:30 a. m. Bishop J, W. Hood, of Fayetteville. N. C, was elect ! . ed president. The bishop read his ad - dress, which was as follows: i" ' BISHOP HOOD'S ADDRESS. Beloved Colleagues, General Officers iv and Friends: P By arrangement ,, adapted by the I board. It Iras fallen o my lot to pre-. t Bids over the Bishops and Council! ! . for the ensuing term, or six months. ' The resident of this 'body occupies a very Important position. During his termiof office he is chief among his peers. The A. M. E. Zion Church. whloh Is the oldest off -shoot from the, i mother ; Methodist ; Church In this country,': is a most Important body. Th times demand that a race . lead er should exercise exceeding great car m the expression of his official utterances. He is regarded as speak lng for the body over which, ho spre Ides. Whenever a body of represent- i atlve negroes Is assembled the eyes of h 'naUoa-H'MM V 4tfnii'toward them.: Their utterances are. critically examined;' and this Is a time when a , race leader .had better keep silent than to speak amiss; - - ? There are those who fchlnk that con ditions are growing jworse.,.1 am very far from taking that view.? It seems to me that we have better times than the world has - ever before known. The nations of the earth are all ad vancinav and the -world is growing better.. - Conditions M our .own coun- try are better than ever before. The condition of our, race Is improving. Our people are doing . better thera- ' selves, end the sentiment respecting them to Improving, ; " ASTONISHING STATISTICS. I listened to a speech from the Governor of North Carolina at' the ' twenty-fifth anniversary of Llvlngs- nton College at Salisbury, N. C., last , May, which was truly enecouraglng. He gave statistical statements show lng the Improvement of the negro ' race,' which were astonishing. Much as. I have seen of the progress our . people have made, his statements , i were far beyond . my own calcula ' tlons. The Governor gave very . .. strong evidence of his desire to do Justice by all the -people, regardless , "of race or color; and Iam sure he uttered --' the sentiment of a very large portion of the white people of - that State. - - Since that time I have read an ad dress delivered by Editor Watterson, of Louisville, Ky. (Mr. Watterson Is possl bly the greatest living pol Weal editor a man weir known and hav ing a - largo Influence In .every part of this e land)." Nothing more en couraging to the .negro face could e uttered than stich an j address from such a man. .- - - .-- ; . . Thee ; have been v: some very re- " markable happenings In a very re 1 - cent period. Not many-months ago a . black man , "was; arrested in South Carolina, charged with an assault up on a white woman. To .gft him aw ay ' from a mob that was pursuing him the officers carried him over to Fay etteville, N. C, and the sheriff of Cumberland county took him to , Raleigh,-where, by direction of tho Governor of North-Carolina, he was " lodged for safe-keeping In the pcnl- ' tenttaryuntll theGovernor of South '. Carolina" could .be ' communicated v with, The Governor of South Caro lina ordered him taken to Columbia, also for safe-keeping. t Now, Is there another record in the history of this country where the Governors of two States exercised ex " traordlnary powers to save the life of one poor, negro? And . has. there been a formen period in which such a thing could have happened? It turned out, finally, that the map, was ,' not the man wanted." He' was alm'- L .-U" ply . a..jatUebrained ..-fellowv. .. whose , own admissions had brought him In to trouble. But this does not change the fact that such en occurs nee In dicates that' conditions are Improv ing. 1 1: might , cite other :. Instances, It' but t '.thtnk.lt unnecessary. I , think a great mistake is made in magnlfy . lng the dark side of things. No man can travel through this country with his eyes open and behold , the Im- Srovements our neople are making, orth, South, East and West, and yet fall to be encouraged- by what his eyes (behold. The -small and large plantations our .people tare buy- Xing In the South, the Increasing of stock upon their jarms, the large in . crease in . their crops, 'the better houses in which they are living, and ' the signs -of "prosperity ' everywhere . Is decidedly encouraging. Not only 'in the South where our people cons titute a large portion of the popula tion, but also In the North there Is wonderful v Improvement Fine ' : dwellings, fine churches and fine par-,- sonages, and a general improvement In every way Is seen wherever our people are settled In any consider able numbers. . THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. I presume I should hardly be ex ' pected to remain silent on a subject : which has been so much discussed, namely,;' the dishonorable (discharge or the negro soldiers, with my peo. pie, generally, I fee grateful to Sen ator Foraker: for the effort he has f made to secure for the soldiers a fair ' j hearing. , In fact, from ihe' time that Senator Foraker, as a, soldier In the civil war, opened the h way for the : " success of the manoeuvres of Sher t ' man's army In North Carolina by a , hazardous night ride, I have studied his career with increasing admiration. , J am glad thar there seems to be a ! ; hope that the report of the Senate f r committee will place the soldiers in M a more favorable llght; t i ; ; n I have sen nothing to change my original opinion that ma the sol " dlers been white, and the same re port bad been malle to the President respecting ; theljr v conduct, ; he . would have taken the same action respect ing them. But I do not believe the same kind of report would ha.ve , been made to him if thte soldiers had been white. The officers who now be lleve fnat the soldiers were Innocent. If they had been commanding white soldiers, would have taken all pos alble care to find the facts before making the report; and the Presi dent would not have ibeen imposed upon Dy an erroneous - report.

NEGRO ADMITS THE MURDER. Lawson Addison, .v of Chester, S. C, Arrested Near Greensboro Two Negro Women Implicated in a House Robbery Settling tho Worth of Tieet. Special to The Observer. Greensboro, Aug. 14. Admitting that he Is guilty of murdering two women in Chester, S. "' last Sep tember, Lawson Addison, negro, alias Oliver Walker, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff ,W. J. Weatherly at the Southern Railway double-tr. ek ing camp, one mile south of the city, yesterday afternoon. There is a re ward of. $100 for Addison's arrest. The prisoner does not deny shooting the women, but says that until yes terday he did not, know they were dead. When tha trouble occurred he ran away and never learned the results of the shots. Eluding the of ficers he drifted Into North Carolina and for some time had been working with the double-tracking force. It was after coming to this State that he took the name of Walker. He is a man of powerful build, weighs nearly two hundred pounds and is five feet eleven Inches tall. Deputy Sheriff Weatherly learned a few days ago that the man was here and went to work to earn the reward. .Two negro women, ranmo xaium and Martha Evans, were arrested yesterday at Brown Summit on a charge of having been Implicated In the robbery or tne nome oi v-aiviu ; Cobb nine miles northeast of tho city. They wore brought here and placed in jail and will be given a hearing in a day or two. When the house was entered several dresses and about S30 in money were stolen, but the women had only 12.05 when' they were arrested. They said that two negro men entered the housa i with them. The two women are smooth criminals and have already served several terms In the work hoise. They will probably plead guilty to tlie charge against them now. The worth of a dead bull was the subject for a lengthy discussion in 'Squire Collins' court yesterday af ternoon, when John Westmoreland brought suit against the 'Greensboro Ice & Coal Co. for the recovery of the amount of 150 damages for tha loss of quantity of beef that hart been stored In the company's plant. The case was tried by able attorneys on -4)oth. sides. The company says that the meat was thrown away because it was unfit for use and it was not the fault of the company. The Justice reserved his decision until" he can look further Into the case. RETURN'S KROM HOSPITAL. Rev; W. Sf. Biles Recovers from Oper ationPersonal and Other Xews of 'Kernersvllle.
