November German WfU be Given Frt- : day-' Evening. - -The November gerroan of the Capital Club will be given Friday evening, No vember 46,- ; "JIM CROW" CAR LAW Order Postponed by Rail road Commission ALL FAVORED IT Commissioners Abbott aid CaidweV However, Thought It Would Ex pedite Matters to Leave It to the Legislature- This morning the much talked of "Jim Crow Car Law," that is, separate cars or separate apartments on all railroads In the State for white and colored people, came up before the Railroad Commission and adthough the Commission was unanimous in favor ing separate cars yet it was decided by a majority of the Commission that it would be best not to forestajt the action of the legislature on the ques tion. OonTmlssloner Pearson introduced the following order: "Ordered, That on and after Janu ary 15, 1899, & railroads doing business in this State shall be required to fur nish separate cars or compartments of cars for white and colored passen gers. "There shall be no difference or dis crimination in the quality, conven ience or accommodation of the cars or compartments set apart for white and .colored passengers, except that deter mined by the class of tickets which they hold, either for first-class cars or compartments or for second-class or compartments. It shall be the duty of the conductor or employees of said car, to assign all passengers to their re spective cars or compartments. "And it isfurther ordered, that no conductor or employee in charge of said car shall permit white and colored passengers to occupy the same car or compartment of cars. This order shall not apply to nurses or servants in at tendance on their employers, or to em ployees of the railroad wfiile engaged in their duties, or to officers in charge of prisoners." 'Commissioner Pearson said that he had had this matter under consfdera tlon some time and he thought sepa rate cars were in the interests of both races. He did not think it should be left to the legislature since it was clearly in the province of the Commis sion. Leaving It to the legislature would cause delay and make it unnec essarily expensive. If would not be a hardship on the railroads since the States of Kentucky, South Carolina and Georgia now have such a law and the principal roads In this State al ready comply with the provisions in those. States. Mr. Pearson said that there was a demand for such a law and he thought it the best solution of the race problem. Commissioner Atobott had thought over this question and although he fa vored separate apartments he regard ed lt-s a question of sentiment rather than a practical question like the race problem. There was no reference to this matter in the campaign and he thought it was a question for the leg islature in view of the fact that the legislature would meet In a few weeks, Its members coming fresh from the people and knowing the'ir wishes. Chairman Caldwell srid that ' he was heartily in favor of separate cars for the two races, but all former Commis sions having passed the matter over action now would forestall the action of the legislature. The roads would have a right to be heard and this would carry the matter beyond the session of the legislature. thought it would expedite matters to leave it to the legislature. Judge MacRae stated that he hearti ly concurred in the opinion of Messrs. Caldwell and Abbott. He did not op pose such an order, he wanted this dis tinqtly understood. . Dr. Abbott said he concurred In the views of Chairman Caldwell. Chairman Caldwell said that he was heartily in favor of separate coaches and was willing to trust the question to the legislature, believing in its com petence and ability to do what is best. The South Carolina law did not become operative until some 5 or 6 months af ter passage and the legislature could do this quicker than the Commission. Mr. Pearson did not subscribe to any delay. The people desired this law and the Commission haB the power to do it. "No question as to the power of the Commission," said Chairman Caldwell There is no division 'In the board, he continued, that it should be done, but we merely dffer as to the method. . Mr. Pearson argued this would no forestall action of the Assembly. Dr. Abbott said he did not hesitate to say he favored separate coaches or apartments but considered legislative enactment best. He movea to post pone the order. Dr. Abbott's motion prevailed, Com missioner Abbott and Chairman Cald well voting for postponement, and Commissioner Pearson against post oonement. - The Commission granted the' petition of the citizens of Klnston for a down town Western Union telegraph office. The 'action of the Commission or deetng the Western Union Telegraph Company to pay the war tax- -was re einded, since the Federal Court bat decided against the Commission, - RALEIGH'S CHANCE Mr. Bailey's Appeal for the Lyceum OFFICERS ELECTED This Is a Ckaaoe Which the Cltlzeas of letch Can 111 4fford Not to Accept at Once. Of the general helpfulness of a wise ly chosen series of lectures, concerts ' and entertainments there can be no question. Nor is it to be doubted that the people of Raleigh are prepared to appreciate and to support a first-class course of this sort. We have not had one before because the opportunity has not been present ed. Of tertainments we have had all sorts. But not until the present moment has there been offered to the people of Raleigh the opportunity to patronize a lecture and concert course in every way worthy of our city. This opportunity is made possible by the action of the gentlemen who met yesterday ana organized the Raleigh Lyceum. But it is only an opportu nity. Unless there is an immediate re sponse on the part of the people of Ral eigh the enterprise will be quickly abandoned to the reproach of us all. Only two hundred subscribers are needed at five dollars each . Every subscriber will be entitled to two re served seats at each entertainment. Of these there will be at least seven, and perhaps ten, say four lectures by most eminent men, three concerts of the first quality, and one miscellaneous enter tainment. The season Is already at hand. We must act promptly If we would suc ceed. Surely the peopre of Raleigh will not let this opportunity slip by. Subscriptions will be received by any member of the Board of Directors, the names of the members of which are printed elsewhere in this paper, or by Mr. F. B. Arendall, secretary, or at the Citizens' and the Commercial and Far mers' Banks. Voluntary action Is hop ed for. There is no arrangement to canvass the .city. The opportunity is offered. If it is not. accepted, it will be because our people are not interest ed a conclusion I trust no one is will ing now to admit. 37 W. BAILEY, Chairman Executive Committee. Nov. 22, 1898. The following action was taken at yesterday's meeting: The following officers were elected to govern the affairs of the institution which is to be called the "Raleigh Ly ceum: R. H. Battle, President. Rev. B. Smedes, Vice-President. F. B. Arendell, Secretary. ' Jo. G. Brown, Treasurer. Directors J. W. Bailey, Jas. Dinwid dle, E. P. Moses, H. W. Jackson, R. M. Furman, J. C. Drewry, W. M. Russ, T. H. Briggs, N. B. Broughton, C. B. Bar- bee, M. M. Marshall, D.D., Eugene Dan iel, D.D., Prof. D. H. Hill, A. A. Thomp son, B. S. Jerman, W. S. Primrose,"Rev. Jno. E. White, Dr. R. H. Lewis, Col. A. y. woiiaaay, Kev. w. U. Norman, J. B. Batchelor. Executive Committee J. W. Bailey, Prof. Jas. Dinwiddle, Prof. E. P. Moses, H. W. Jackson and R. M. Furman. (Officers, ex-offlclo, members Execu tive Committee.) The following Ladies' Auxiliary Com mittee was also elected: Mrs. J. J. Thomas, Mrs. W. A. Montgomery, Mrs. Josephus Daniels, Miss Emmie McVea, miss annie Heck, Mrs. Koscoe Nunn, Miss Minnie Tucker, Miss Dinwiddle, Miss Edith Royster. It was decided that the minimum number of members with which the or ganization would begin operations should be 200 and that no collections should be made until (and unless) that number shall be enrolled. The annual fee was fixed at $5 to entitle thelmem ber to two seats at every entertainment given by the organization during the year (winter), these seats to be trans ferrable to others without writing. Books for membership were directed" to be opened at the office of the Secretary and the Treasurer this morning for the immediate enrollment of members. As the organization is a club proposed to be composed of the Intellectual and cul tured people of the city and those seek ing the highest culture, upon motion it was decldedthat every member of the Board of Directors and the Ladies' Committee be requested to secure as large an enrollment to the membership as possible l the Immediate circle of their acquaintance and to do any other work for the association that they see fit. It Is desired to run the member ship to as high a point as possible, since the lengtn and character of the enter tainment course will Increase with the Increase of the membership. With the 200 (minimum) membership 7 entertain ments of the highest Lyceum class will be given this winter; with 300 members 10 entertainments will be given; with 400 members from 12 to 14 entertain ments can be given, etc. It is possible by this association to bring the cost of the best entertainments in Raleigh down to a very low point to the mem bers in the course of a few years as the membership Increases. This will apply to the members only however, as the public will be required to pay the reg ular prices If non-members are admit ted. This question will be decided by the Executive Committee. Probably half of the Southern Lyceums admit only the members or those presenting cards, making it strictly a club affair. Mr. W. P. Wh I taker has returned i from a trip to New York city. SPECIAL SERVICES Rev, Dr. Broughton Arrived this Morning REV MR.WHITE'SSER10N The Progress and Power ef the Anglo Saxoa Race, He Declared, Cemes bv the Grace of L. G. Broughton, Of Atlanta, did not arrive yesterday to fill his ap pointment at the Baptist Tabernacle, as was expected. However, Rev. A. M. Simms announced last evening that he had received a telegram from Mr. Broughton stating'that he would cer tainly be here today. In Mr. Brough ton's absence the pulpit was occupied last night by Rev. John E. White, who preached a very able sermon. A lim ited report of the sermon Is necessari ly imperfect and somewhat disconnect ed. The text selected by Mr. White is found in 10th verse of lath chapter of First Corinthians, "By the grace of God am what I am." Paul is the apostle of the personal pronoun. This one man stands out prominently in all he says. Yet his boldness in announc ing his indebtedness to grace clears him of any charge of egotism. There can be no objection to" theology when it is supported by a rich experience in grace. It is not the gun in warfare but the man behind it. The auestion is what is this speaker, who says "I am what I am." If asked what he was Paul's answer would probably have been, "I am not what I was." He liked to think of Saul of Tarsus and Paul of Tarsus. No one was bolder in saying that he was a sinner than Paul. Paul a sinner. What is a sin ner? Look at him for that man hell was cheated, and for that man Jesus died. Here is a practical question to each Christian, what is the difference be tween what I once was and what I am now? Yet Paul also realized that he was not what he ought to be. A Christian's experience should be progressive. What ought we to be? For one thing we ought to be happier than yv are. The way to the higher life is through the lower life, the way to joy is through pain. We ought also to develop better Christian character. There is no ex cuse for poor Chrstian character in the light of man's opportunities now. "I am what I am by the grace of God" Paul meant to put the emphasis not on himself, but on the grace of God. The grace of God explains almost everything in this world. Whatever saves the world from moraf putrefac tion is by the grace of God. Mr. White asked what had infidelity ever done for mankind? What orphan asylum has it ever founded? what no ble character has it ever developed? He said that you might go back through all history and you could find no humanitarian institutions showing love for fellowmen until Jesus Christ came. Where would the Anglo-Saxon race have been had it not been for the grace of God? Only a few hundred years since Anglo-Saxons were sold as slaves. Today we are talking about a great combination of England and America for the enlightenment of 'the world. The Anglo-Saxon race succeeds because it has God with the race, but not until Christ j.s accepted did Anglo-Saxons begin to feel their own their own pulse and realize their pow er. Stop, oh, forgetful man, beside the many manifestations of material pro gress surrounding us on all sides, and thank God for all these. The grace of God explains all. He closed by drawing a vivid picture of what every cemetery teaches the living the necessity of not being en grossed with this world, but preparing for the great hereafter. Rev. Mr. Miller conducted the ser vices this morning at 10:30. DR. BROUGHTON HTRE. Rev. Len. G. Broughton and Mr, Wolfsohn arrived from Atlanta this morning. Dr. Broughton will preach at the Tabernacle tonight. The song service will begin at 7:15 p. m. COLD WAVE COMING. For Raleigh and vicinity: Run to night, followed by clearing, much col der Weduesday.
