During the last game of ball
played with Cotton Plant la^t week
we noticed quite a number of peo
ple on the ••'in shed adjoining the
park fence. It is a very small
matter and it seems to us that any
one who likes to see a game would
not hesitate to pay the small sum
of 05 cents to get in the park and
nee the game like a gentleman. It
cost a considerable sum of money
to fence the park and get it iti
shape for the season s sport, be
sides the transportation expenses
and board of the visiting team
while here. It looks rather small
in a person to take advantage of
the managers of the park in this
manner when the small sum of -•>
cents would allow them to see and
enjoy the game legitimately.
CHICKENS COMING HOME.
The chickens are coming home
to roost at Oyster liny under the
very nose of President Roosevelt,
or over it. I he color line is being
drawn and a race question is “on,"
A l ew days ago a colored preach
er from a down Hast city, where
i the negro is considered as good
as the white man and where,
| as a matter of fact, he is a good
Ideal better, dropped into the town
of Oyster Hay and continued drop
ping until he dropped into a lead
ing barber shop and, without cere
mony, dropped into a chair.
The proprietor became indig
nant and informed him that only
white men were waited on in his
shop.
The colored preacher protested
and insisted on his rights as an
j American citizen, as a Christian
and a minister of the (iospel, and
declared he would not leave until
he was shaved.
Then there was some more
dropping, and the visitor heard
something drop. He was thrown
out of the shop forcibly and he
raised such a howl that fora while
it looked like a race riot was in
sight.
The preacher then sought out
President Roosevelt intending to
| tell him his troubles; but whether
he did or not the dispatches do not
say.
This is bringing the question
perilously near home, and Presi
dent Roosevelt may yet have an
'opportunity of witnessing tin* ef
fects of his teachings.

LQST SAVINGS OF YEARS.
Texarkana, Ark. duly ^.-Hen
ry denks and hi" wife, who live on
their little farm, five miles south
east of here, have suffered the loss
of the saving's of years, all because
they recently lost confidence in
hanks and concluded to hereafter
take care of their cash themselves.
The couple are plain, unsophis
ticated people, and for the past
ten or twelve years have been de
positing their small savings, week
ly, in one of the local banks, sav
ing it up, its they said, “for a rainy
day." Recently they found that,
their bank book showed a credit in
their favor of Slot), and at about
the same time, for some unknown
reason, they com hided to quit the
hank and trust their money here
after to tlu‘ time-honored “sock."
The cash was accordingly drawn
out of the hank and at once found
anew resting place in the, family
hosiery.
In just one week, to a day, a
sneak thief visited the premises
while tin1 couple chanced to be
away, and .stole every dollar of
the hard-earned cash.

ROOSEV ELT AND THE NE(iRt).
The attitude of the republican
party on the race question is caus
ing no little comment, not only in
the South, but throughout the
! North and East. The antics cut
j by the strenous Teddy is disgust
' ing in the extreme to all self-res
pecting white people.
The lamented MeKinle.t had the
! race question almost solved, and
to the satisfaction of the South as
well as the North, but 1'eddy has
not only undone the good work of
his predecessor, but has aggravat
ed the situation.
It would take half a century to
get things in as good shape as Mc
Kinly left them, and it is very
doubtful if the republicans will
ever find the man to do the work.
The action of the national re
publican convention in tinting a
little white girl upon the stage by
the side of a negro boy and having
them parade* the stage hand in
hand is revolting in the extreme,
and is a direct insult to the people*
| of the South. This act of the* re
publican party has done more to
[incite* race prejudice than any act
(committed upon the American con
tinent in a score of years, and is
[ alone, enough to bring defeat up
on the party in the coming nation
' al election.
The following letter written by
one Henry S. Baker, a negro of
! Washington, 1 >. to the editor
of the Host, shows how the negroes
view the situation.
"At the republican convention
I the colored man was treated as u
'companion, friend and brother.
| There he was made to feel as if he
were not only a political, but aso
cial equal. The delegates follow
ed the example of our beloved
President Theodore Roosevelt,who
teaches that the colored man de
serves to be treated as a social
equal. To emphasize this fact he
had the.courage to have at his tab
le Prof. Booker T. Washington.
If Roosevelt is elected, it will so
encourage the colored men that
we will demand that Prof. Booker
Washington shall be the Rebubli
can candidate for Vice-Pros dent
in 11*08.
"Let not m.v colored brethren
forget that scene in the republican
j convention when a beautiful white
girl was placed upon the stage and
by her side was placed a negro
boy. They then placed flags in
! their hands and allowed them to
! lead the cheering, thus making
the first and grandest example of
the equality of the races that his
tory records.
"In the democratic convention
there was not a single colored man.
It was in word and deed a white
man’s party. All hail to Roose
velt, who has given the poor ne
gro so much to encourage him to
persist in his political and social
rights!”
The Journal fears that Roose
velt will persist in pushing the ne
gro upon the American people un
til he precipitates a race war. It
is a certainty that such a thing
would result disasterously to the
negro, and there is a possibility
that it would result in his complete
deportation from the North Amer
ican continent.
The race question has always
been a serious and complicated
problem, and the attitude of Roose
velt is only making matters worse.
