National Baptist Sunday School Congress ung People’s Chautauqua at sw Orleans, ‘Louisiana. and Y It is armounced by the promoters that owing to a special session of Louisiana Baptist State Convention, which con- venes in Baton Rouge, La, June 25-26, 1907, the sessions of the National Bap- tist Sunday School Congress and Young People’s Chautauqua, which has been called to meet in New Orleans, La., June 26-30, will have their oepning session at the First African Baptist Church on Third Street between Franklin and Lib- erty streets, New Orleans, La. on the morning of June 27, and will continue daily up to and including Monday, July a This extension was necessitated in or- der that all of the brothers of the State Convention might be present at the open- ing, as it was their request. Tickets will be on sale and will read for the 26th as per call, but the 26th will be taken up in the assignment ef homes and other pre- liminaries necessary on such occasion. In accepting the invitation of the Baptist City Pastors’ Conference of New Or- leans, La., to bring the Congress to that city, it was done for the benefit of the denominational growth in New Orleans. The secretary of this Conference, Rev. A. Hubbs, with the president, Rev. A. Sims, the instructor, Rev. C. Tharps, to- gether with the treasurer, Rev. G. W. Torney, has assured the management of the Congress repeatedly that all will be in readiness and that no messenger wo delegate will have the slightest cause to complain. This assurance has also been given by the officers of the State Con- ventions and it is urged that all Sunday school workers begin their preparations to take charge of the Crescent City. LAW MATTERS. Legal Notes of Interest. From the Mercantile and Financial Times. The death of ex-Jodge J. Herbert Potts, one of the best-known of Jersey City’s public men—one who served the people ably in many important capaci- ties—was briefly though feelingly and eloquently referred to in Judge Mc- Carthy’s court by Mr. Spraggins, the well-known and highly esteemed colored lawy of Jersey City. If we are not i , to Mr. Spraggins belongs the distinction and the honor of being the first member of the bar to call judicial attention to the sad event. That such should be the case is not, however, sur- prising, as such incidents are character- istic of Mr. Spraggins, besides which the lawyer has always had the highest admiration for Judge Potts, which feel- ing was sincerely reciprocated by the Tudge, who upon more than one occa- sion went out of his way to speak in the highest terms of Mr. Spraggins’ sterling gins was admitted to practice at the New ability as a lawyer. It is now some years since Mr. Sprag- Jersey Bar, and during all that time his course has been such as to win not only the confidence of the public, but the sincere admiration ow the bench anad of his fellow-members. He has often been connected with important cases, and his conduct of the same has been such as Her funeral was preach-| of the colored race entertained by Book-_ The ca-| alled “color line.” *ro mthe American Economist. It is not to be disputed that women exercise an important influence upon the economic condition of this country. As buyers of merchandise at retail they are pretty much the whole thing. At all events they greatly outclass the men alike in the number and volume of pur- na A few days ago an assemblage of Chicago dressmakers listened to an address by Mrs. Belle Armstrong Whit- ney, of New York, and were told, in substance, that there need be no fear of a great financial panic sa long as women continue to wear plenty of fash- ionable clothes. Mrs. Whitney is quoted as saying: “WWomen wear new clothes that men may make money. The reason that we have new fashions in dress is because men who have billions invested in the manufactories and dry goods stores of the world insist upon earning just as dividends one year as another. lf they waited for women to wear out clothes they bought last year divi- dends wold be passed this year. If you refused to wear new clothes for six months there would be a financial c that woud! be world-wide. So in wear- ing fashions early and late you are help- ing to dispel financial clouds and giving the worker and the capitalist their due.” We had supposed that richly dressed women wore lots of new clothes for a reason very different from that of wish- in gto help the men make money. But we may be wrong. It is possibly an er- oe to conclude that their taste for fine apparel and plenty of it because their husbands make plen- and not, as Mrs. Whitney sserts, to insure good Aividends from industrial investment women indulge ty of money, PUTTING ON THE*CAP AND BEL! From the Post. The Senate of the Florida Legislature has made a dunce of itself, and has in- vited the whole State to put on the cap and bells. It has passed a bill declaring null and void within the confines of the State the fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments that grew out of the civil war and which were intended to guarantee perfect political equality to the Negroes who had been freed from slavery. The bill is now pending in the lower house of the Florida Legislature, but we have an idea that it will be laughed out of that body, thus saving the State from the ludicrous attitude before all the world in which it would be placed should the short-sighted and hot-headed Senate at Tallahassee be permitted to have its foolish way. When South Carolina, under the lead- ership of John C. Calhoun, a statesman of great resolution and profound con- victions, essayed the task of nullifica- tion, the indomitable Jackson, himself a South Carolinian by birth, was Presi- dent and issued a ringing proclamation that was the prelude to the great asser- tion of nationalism that called into the field a quarter of a century later armies that shook the world, Jackson’s procla- mation postponed the great war over the question of State rights, though in the then unsettled condition of the relations between the Federal and State auithor- ity the bloody drama of the ‘60's was inevitable. In this day we need ne Kc “By the eternal” to check State defiance of national authority, but what we do need is a fool-killer among all assemblages of men, North and South, like that which comprises the majority of the Florida Senate. While Federal authority laterally may have grown too aggressive and is inclined to overstep its proper limits, this tendency of the times is not due to shortcomings of the Constitution, but rather to the laxity of State governments. The Su- preme Court of the United States has preserved to the States exclusive control of the elective franchise, so that on that score there can be no complaint of Fed- elections. Moreover, and of still higher benefit to all the people, the North has become better acquainted with conditions in the South during the past decade or! so, and we discern in no responsible quarter disposition on this side of the Potomac to stir up the animosities of the dead and buried past. Action such as that taken by the Florida Senate is calculated to reopen the old sores of sectionalism and set the hounds of hateful demagogy everywhere to snarl- ing and yelping. Industrially and politically the races are getting along in the South better than ever before. The contenton that the race problem is- national and not ery part of the country. This marks a progress in the solution of that tre-j mendous question creditable alike to come when discussion of the repeal of one or both of the amendments acted upon by the Florida Senate may take on a national character, but when it does the South will not be the leader in it. However, this phase of the main question is strictly academic at present, and is almost on a par in silliness with sectional has gained recognition in ev-| Florida. The thing for the States now to do is to regulate their internal affairs under existing provisions of the Con- stitution, so as to curb the forces of are ae ee ee the proposed nullification movement ees gart assertion of setting at naught with- in their limits any of those provisions. ‘ITEMS oN .
