A FALLEN CHIEFTAIN
The dispatch sent out from Tus-
kegee last Sunday announcing the
death of Booker T. Washington
came not only as a surprise, but as
a distinct shock to the race here
While mention had been made of
his illness, no one thought that it
was serious, and there was no
thought of his death Wrapped up
as we are in his wonderful achieve
meuts, and the great uplift he has
done for his people, we are dazed
and lack for words to express our
sorrow and the great grief we feel
at the cutting down of this truly
great man at the early age of 57
years He was a part of the pro
gress of the country, and linked as
his name was with the progress of
his race, there was no thought but
of betterment, advancement, and
general progress. But he was but
mortal clay and the nervous break
down he suffered from through his
great love for his race spelt de
struction, death, and the great
leader who had done such wonder
ful work for the uplift and advance-
ment of his people paid the penalty
in his death.
While his work was primarily
among his own people, Tuskegee
institute has left its imprint 011 the
country, and industrial training has
received the greatest strength from
the same and he is given the great-
est credit along this line for his
help to humanity. As a leader, a
teacher, a diplomat, an orator, an
author, he stood in the front rauks
and by his achievements won and
held the respect of the whole
country. He wou by his deeds
and was respected and honored as
a roan—one who was a credit to
himself and race, and an honor to
his country. We monrn his death,
his untimely end, and fail to under
stand that it had to be so, but it
was the will of God and we bow to
the inevitable. Yes, a great leader
has fallen, and while there must be
a successor, yet we feel as though
it will be many years before his
equal is found.
WE NEED THE MONEY
Our list of delinquent subscribers
is bigger now than ever before in
our experience. We need the
money, and need it badly, to pay
our debts, and things are really
serious. If those who can will
just pay what they owe us, wt will
very much appreciete the same.
We have been very liberal with
quite a number, but we have got
to get right down to business, and
shall be forced to cut many names
from our list. Bear this in mind.
Conditions demand letrenchment.
TRIBUTE FROM ROOSEVELT
Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 14.—
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made
the following statement to-night on
the death of Booker T. Washing-
ton :
"I am deeply shocked and
grieved at the death of Dr. Booker
T. Washington. He was one of
the distinguished citizens of the
United States, a man who rendered
greater service to his own race than
ever had heen rendered by any one
else, and who in doing so also
rendered great service to the whole
country. I mourn his loss and feel
that one of the most useful citizens
of our laud has gone."
DEATH OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Tuskegee. Ala., Nov. 14th.—
Booker T. Washington, foremost
teacher and leader of the Negro
race, died early to-day at his home
here, near Tuskegee institute, of
which he was founder and presi-
dent. Hardening of the arteries
following a nervous breakdown
caused death four hours after Dr.
Washington arrived from New
York. Although he had been in
failing health for several months,
the Negro leader's coudition became
serious only last week while he was
in the East. He then realized that
the end was near, but was deter-
mined to make the last loug trip
South. He had said often :
" I was born in the South, have
lived all my life in the South, and
expect to die and be buried in the
South."
Accompanied by his wife, his
secretary, and a physician, Dr.
Washington left New York for
Tuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday after-
noon. He reached home last mid-
night, and died at 4:40 o'clock this
morning His last public appear
ance was at the national conference
of Congregational churches in New
York, where he delivered a lecture
October 25.
A widow, three children, aud
four grandchildren survive. John
H. Washington, a brother, is the
superintendent of industries at
Tuskegee institute.
Dr. Washington was bom in
slavery near Hales Ford, Va., in
1857. After the emancipation of
his race, he moved with his family
to West Virginia. In 1881 he
organized the industrial school for
Negroes at Tuskegee, to which he
devoted most of his attention dur
ing the remaining years of his life.
The institute started in a rented
shauty church. To-day it owns
I,500 acres of land in Alabama and
has nearly 100 buildings, valued at
$500,000.
In addition to his prominence as
an educator, Dr. Washington had
gained considerable fame as an
author. An honorary degree of
master ot arts was conferred upon
him by Harvard in 1896, and iu
1901 he was given an houorary
degree of LL. D. by Dartmouth.

We said that we intended to pay
more attention to this brauch of
our business to show we appreciate
it. Some we will mention in future
sent in yearly subscriptions some
time ago, but we have neglected to
mention them.
JESSE NEWMAN.
Our paper has been sent to them
ever since we started, aud there is
uo better paying subscriber oti our
list. The $2.50 is always ready
when the time comes, and our
collector never has to call a second
time. Mr. Newmau says that the
loneer he takes the paper the better
he likes it. It may be a jolly, but
it sounds good, and we like to hear
it, but when it is backed up by a
year's subscription we believe that
he means it. He further said : "If
everyone felt by race enterprises as
I do, they would all succeed." We
thank you. Mr. Newman.
A. P. LEE.

of our yearly in advance subscribers

BASEBALL.

has two wins to its credit over the
Chicago American Giants. Yester-
day's score was 6 to 2 : Saturday's
was 7 to 4 Autrey's homer with
Bay less ou base featured yesterdays
embroilment. This slam ended
Dixmude's stay ou the rubber. He
had yielded five hits and four runs
in the second frame. Siugles by
Bayless and Litschi, a double by
Downey, and Roche's triple did it.
Schneider of Cincinnati pitched
nice ball for the locals. Wickware
replaced Dixmude, and held the
locals scoreless, and gave one hie in
the remaining five frames—a fluke
iufield tap by Berger. Hitt, south-
wiuder extraordinary, hurled good
ball Saturday. Williams slabbed
for the Giants. Many star plays
were staged. A catch by Gans in
left, Bennett's slide to second, and
Autrey's play on Hill's grounder
featuied. Hosp bagged a double
and two singles. A double steal by
Downey and Roche, when the
former scored, featured. Berger got
two doubles ; Litschi and Hitt got
triples. Lloyd for the Giants hit a
triple. Another play worthy of
tnentiou was Petway's slide to the
plate, wheu he kicked the ball out
of Roche's hand.
