Did you ever observe a peach at carly morn, just after the dew had kissed it? We mean a large, ripe luscious peach, one on whose thin, almost transparent, velvety rind na- ture had painted a delicate pink rival- ing the blush that mounts to the vir- gin maiden’s cheks when her young Lochinvar first tells her of his love. If so you have noted how that beau- teous shade of pink runs in and blends Carter Jr., precentor, will begin its] it open.

Tyler, in the Daily Ohio State Journal of Sept. 13 THE NEGRO’S VOICE FOR TAFT Hon. Charles W. Anderson’s Resolu- tion Endorsing theEminent States- man Adopted With a “Hurrah.” Saratoga, N.Y. A highly dramatic feature of yes- September 15-- terday’s~ session of the Repubjican State convention was the introduction by Hon. Charles W. New York, the colored member at Anderson, of large of the State committee and who is making such an enviable record as Collector of Internal Revenue for the second district, of an extended reso- lution paying a glowing tribute to the character and public service of Judge Taft and more particularly extend- ing to the presidential nominee the congratulations of” the upon his fifty-first birthday, which convention was to occur on the morrow. The reso'ution was adopted with a shout that lasted for several minutes, and the secretary was instructed to telegraph the full text to Judge Taft Phe speech of Mr. Anderson prefac- ing the resolution was frequently in terrupted by applause,long and hearty, and is pronounced one of his very ablest forensic efforts. The voice of Mr. cepted by the citizens of the state as Anderson is < the united voice of the colored voters, with whom he is justly popular and recognized from Buffalo to Far Rock- away as their natural leader, The New York Negroes are for Taft and Sherman. NEW MUSIC FOR OUR READERS. “Sandy and I” “Sandy and I” is the title of a new song with words and music by M Mary E. Ireland, the well-known au- thor, who has a wide-known acquaint- ance all over this country. The Scotch dialect is well used. It is a song that we are sure will be well received. The melody is rich and the words are sweet and tender, the chorus of which runs: “And we are sae happy, sae happy > feel That when our ain time comes to dee, Our mither at hame in the land of the leal Will welcome her Sandy and me, Sandy and me, Sandy and me, Will welcome her Sandy and me, Our mither at hame in the land of the leal Will welcome her “Sandy and me.” The words have the Scotch sincerity and simplicity. A very striking pic- ture of a Scotch lad and lassie adorns the cover. This Scotch song and chorus is written for medium voice and breathes forth the love of a young Scotch couple who came up to the threshold of domestic life with the blessing of Sandy’s mother. The reg- ular retail price of this great song is 50 cents per copy. By special ar- rangements with the publishers, OUR READERS will receive a copy post- paid by sending 25 cents in postage stamps toThe globe 72 78 789 S8oranH stamps to Toe Grose Music Co.,No. ‘1155 Broadway, New York.

The local district Democrats are holding meetings. Just what effect they will have I am unable to tell. Major Sylvester is contemplating) selecting one of the colored officers for headquarters. The scout would fill the bill no doubt. There are many regrets at the transfer of Collector Davis, and much jubilation at the pro- motion of Paymaster Rodgers. Re- grets and congratulations are in order. Several prominent Odd Fellows, left the city Sunday for Atlantic City. My genial friends J. Ortway Holmes, W. C. Martin, Joseph Mannings and others were among the big guns. Friend Holmes, and Mannings, always hold a smile that never comes off. Mrs. Clark is an enterprising wo- man. She deserves credit for her btusj_ ness proclivities. She is a woman who deserves credit for her work. I am anxious to see the District Commissioners promote our genial friends, Warner and Montague. Assistant Assessor Adams should have been made Assessor. He is the man for the place. He is popular with the people. - Rounder. “THE IKES.” The Shreveport, La., Enterprise in commenting on an editorial in The Bee relative to a few disgruntleds starting another paper in this city, says: Wherever you go, wherever you be, you will nd some little Negroes who are trying to make it appear that come man of influence is with them to break up a Negro enterprise. The Bee has been, no doubt, after some of the “Ikes” or has been advocating some things that they oppose; hence, they decide that they will put it out of These “Ikes” are not ignoramuses so far as the letter is concerned, but they are a mass of bigotry and selfishness. If their man- dates are not obeyed they feel that they have the power and influence to marshal the forces and put anyone out of business wlio does not bow to their behest. Shreveport is not im- mune to these Alexes. There have been two or three combinations form- ed to put The News-Enterprise out of business, but we are still plodding along; the combinations were stran- gled in their own blood and died. We are not opposed to the starting of other papers, but when the object is to kill us, then we object to dying. Mrs. George M. Warner, formerly Miss Eliza Upshaw, State president of the Woman’s Federation: of Cali- fornia, is in the city on a visit to her old home. Mrs. Warner receiy- ed many social attentions while in the city. She left yesterday for At- lantic City and from there she will return home. Lusiness. Seventy-one years after this very speech was made by this awkward voung lawyer, a inob of citizens cut the throat of another citizen who was innocent of crime — and then they ran a rope through his gaping wound And this was done within earshot of the grave of that young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, who later became with a golden yellow.

These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen. Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are real- ly spending. : Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city, It stands without a rival or competitor, andcovers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city wil] patronize the advertising col- umns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of collars — will assume that by pat ronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over thre milions of dollars received and spent -by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business wil] now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions tf dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 apprecia- tive Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington, Remember, merchants of Washington, it’s what advertising pays you, not what it costs.
