The Georgia republican state con-
vention will meet March 7, at Atlanta.
Congressman R. B. Hawley has
just returned from Cuba on a mission
for the administration.
Senator M. S. Quay has been de-
clared not entitled to his seat in the
senate on appointment by the gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania.
Tiie republican state executive com-
mittee has been called to meet at Wa-
co, Texas, on the 20th inst. Geo. W.
Johnson of Corsicana, signed the call
as secretary.
The Blue Grass Bugle of Frankfort,
Ky., is sending out this week the pic-
tures of its directors. The directors
look a blamed sight better than does
the paper.
i Sin Kti.lkr, Hie Texas divine who
has been lighting the devil so success-
fully in Missouri, has crossed the river

vertising his meeting.
With this issue, we commence to
publish the brilliant and Instructive
Washington Letter, furnished us by
our staff correspondent, Mr. W. T.
Menard, who needs no introduction to
Dallas Express readers.
Patrick Henry is running a fancy
grocery store in this citj' on Elm street,
while George Washington is running a
saloon, Jeff Davis is a laborer, who
lives on Washington avenue. All these
patriots reside in Dallas. Shades of
the departed.
We have received Charles W. Chest-
nut's new book, "The Wife of his
Youth." The book is made up in a
volume of 323 pages, neatly bound in
substantial cloth with gold letters. The
contents are: "The wife of his youth,"
"Her Virginia Mammy," The sheriff's
children," "A matter of principle,"
"Cicely's dream,,' "The passing of
Gradison," "I'ncle Wellington's
wives," The bouquet," "The web of
circumstances." The book is appro-
priately illustrated and the publishers,
Houghton, Mifflin & Co., have exe-
cuted a very elegant piece of work,
well worth a place in every library
throughout the land.
There are a small number of third
rate white republicans in Texas, who
refuse to consider the candidacy- of
Hon. C. M. Ferguson for national com-
mitteeman, seriously. These same fel-
lows refuse to consider the candidacy
of any other Negro as genuine. What
fools these mortals be! Wonder if
they think Mr. Negro never will want
anything for himself? This element
make up a lot who should be left at
home, and not allowed to come even
from the precinct to the county con-
vention, much less other party meet-
ings. The man who cannot rise above
color and recognize character, is not
entitled to membership in the republi-
can party, nor to a seat in its councils.
We are employing regularly in our
shops as printers, pressmen, etc., a
dozen Negro men and women, beside
scores upon scores of paid corres-
pondents scattered all over *,he coun-
try, and yet there are Negroes under
our very nose who persist in having
their printing done by establishments
who would sooner go out of business
than employ a Negro as a printer.
Still these fellows favor Negro enter-
prise. There is a scripture which says:
"The man who says that he loves God
whom he has not seen, and hates his
brother whom he has seen, is a liar
and the truth is not in him," and the
fellows above referred to are like unto
him.
/'A RSOJV Ii Of. L>J£JV AG A AY.
The Southwestern Christian Advo-
cate comes to the rescue of Parson S.
,M. Bolden, the Hempstead divine who
sometime ago, ran into the arms of
the law in Houston, on a charge of
Reduction, after this fashion:
We are confident that the Dalla
Express will regret to learn that it;^
Houston correspondent misrepresen-
ted the facts most seriously in report-
ing to its columns the case of the Rev
S, M. Bolden, who was arrested it;
Houston during the recent session o'
the Texas Annual conference.
The oniy thing true in the iten
mentioned is that he was arrested
But he was neither arrested at tin
conference room nor for the "seduc-
tion of a fourteen year old girl," a;
asserted. He had received a message
during the day to come home and had
gone to the night train forgthat pur-
pose.
While there he was arrested and the
conference knew nothing of the un-
fortunate affair till the next morning
The young lady in question claims to
be over eighteen years of age, and ii.
a letter to the editor \rhich lies befort
us as we write says: "Rev. S. M. Bol-
den is a Christian gentleman and is in-
nocent of mistreating me at anytime."
The arrest is accounted for as follows:
It appears that he was accompany-
ing two young ladies and as the letter
before us says, the one heard that he
was to marry the other on Monday
night after his return from conference
She listened to advice of friends and
swore to the charge of seduction in
order that the proposed ceremony
might be prevented. This was done,
and the result is that neither of the
young ladies has thus far become Mrs.
Bolden but he has been wronged
and seriously damaged in reputa-
tion. We regret this exceedingly, for
not only does Brother Bolden suffer
but his conference also and the min-
istry in general.
[To the above, Bro. Scott appends
a certificate of good character for the
parson, signed by the stewards of tbe
church. When the S. W. C. Advocate
states that the only thing of truth
said by our corespondent was that
the arrest was made, it seems to make
out a weak case, but when it goes in tc
tell the old, old story about the preach-
er between two pretty women; in
love with one and engaged to the
other, he ruins, even a weak case.
The woman who is alleged to have
written that letter calling Parson Bol-
den a Christian gentleman, is the same
woman who had him put behind iron
bars, and we demand to have her put
on the stand to show eau3e why she
made such a mistake.
The Dallas Express, however, de-
sires the S. W. C. Advocate to under-
stand that it is taking no stock in this
preacher and two women fight. It
is merely trying to serve a public that
delights to read the news.]
AMO^fGr the many letters of encour-
agement received from ail sections of
the country last week, one was from
Mr. D. C. Wallace, of El Paso, Texas.
The writer is a strong believer in race
enterprises.
With the new year, let us resolve to
give the colored enterprises in the
state and throughout the country bet-
ter support. Our young men and wo-
men who have finished school are out
hunting work, from which they can
make a living and maintain self-
respect. This is only possible through
Negroes of means embarking in busi-
ness enterprises, and the balance of
the race coming up nobly to the sup-
port of these enterprises. The day
was, when the so-called big colored
man, popularized himself by support-
ing white industries and refusing to
support his own. That is all changed
now, and the Negro who refuses to
support the business in the hands of
his own people, finds little argument
to his case. We have a few Negroes
left who make it a rule to patronize
only white men, but they are growing
less in number and importance with
each setting sun, and soon such a Ne-
gro will be only an unattractive and
unappreciated curiosity in the com-
munity where he lives. Let the peo-
ple inquire of their leaders as to their
conduct along the lines of support to
those enterprises which employ Ne-
groes on their merit, and where cor-
rect answers cannot be given, let them
apply the knife.
Probably at no time since the great
prohibition tidal wave which swept
over Texas in 1S87, has more steady
work been done against the saloon
power, than is now being done by Mrs.
E. E. Peterson, of Texarkana. She
stands at the head of what she chooses
to call the Lucy Thurman W. C. T. U. of
Texas, and her steady good sense, un-
daunted enthusiasm and burning zeal,
challenge the admiration of every
lover of sobriety and truth throughout
the land. If the women and men who
are nominally temperate, would but
give the cause of temperance the de-
served support, with such a courage-
ous leader as Mrs. Peterson at the
head, much could be hoped for against
the reign of King Alcohol.
The lily white Louisiana republicans
who met at the St. Charles hotel in
New Orleans, Saturday, and had such
a wrangle over the question of wheth-
er they would invite the Negro repub-
licans to help them whip the democra-
cy, showed themselves to be monkies
in politics. The man or set of men,
claiming to be republicans, who be-
lieve in the principles of the party, and
who in the effort to make those prin-
ciples obtain, refuse to be associated
with men of character on account o^
color, are not deserving of success.
Such a senseless set do not deserve to
defeat the democracy. There are
some white men in this country, who
are a disgrace to civilization.
Chairman Ned Cr ;es has an Irish
secretary, born in Wales, who has the
significant name of Dan.el Quill-
Now, mind you this Mr. Quill is a very
voluminous writer. Some time ago lie
addressed a letter to county chairmen
calling their attention to th3 fact that
E. H. R. Green and "Goose Neck" Bill
will come before the state convention
for election as delegates-at-large, and
the versatile Quill then goes on to ask
if he can use the name of the county
chairmen, publicly to bring about this
result. The Quill, while doing Green
and McDonald no good, is affording
lots of fun for the Texas public. It's
dollars to doughnuts that Quill's let-
ters will elicit few favorable replies.
Among the many Negro newspapers
which are improving in appearance,
none show more progress than does
the New York Age, Baltimore Afro-
American Ledger, Christian Recorder,
South Western Christian Advocate and
Boston Advance. Let the race come
up with its support and our enterprises
will live and prosper.
cipal assistant and Mrs, M. Powell,
assistant. Hence, you see there is a
wide field for subscriptions to your
valuable edition."
Hon. B. R. Bluitt, of this city, is
authority for the statement that a del-
egation of fifty (50) white and colored
men, called on Chairman Green and
"Goose Neck" Bill McDonald Tuesday
in the rain, to assure them that they
were "wid 'em." Well, delegations
and votes are two different things.
The republicans of this district
should see to it that clean, conserva-
tive, regular republicans are elected as
delegates to the national convention.
The bolting, splitting and general
"cussedness" of the past should be dis-
countenanced by all self-respecting
republicans.
Senator Morgan's declaration that
the democrat party is, always has been
and always will be, a white man's par-
ty, is not calculated to encourage the
young colored democracy of New
York and other states where the de-
mocratic party cannot win without the
colored vote.
The fact that Chairman Goosby ol
the Seventh Congressional district has
already called his convention to take
place Feb'ry 10th, shows how soon the
battle for control of the republican
organization in Texas, will wax hot.
Will the Hon. Samuel J. Jenkins,
the champion Negro democrat of Tex-
as, please state what bethinks of Sen-
ator Morgan, the champion democrat
of United States?

The Helping Hand came this week,
looking better than ever before. R.
L. Smith, the successful farmer, is de-
termined to be a successful journalist.
Mr. B. C. Cole, writing from Rock-
dale, says: "Revs. S. M. C. Davis and
H. Winn, Miss H. Sledge, A. Williams,
J. Johnson, Mrs. M. A. Jones, Mr. and
Mrs E. V. Jones, had a special invita-
tion to dine with Mrs. B. C. Cole on
the 8th inst. Splendid feast."
Mrs. Annie Cannon, writing from
Stringtown, I. T., says: "Mr. Editor, I
got married December 12, to Rev. H.
C. Cannon, the worthy pastor of the
C. M. E. church, and I wish you had
been here. One hundred people at-
tended the reception. A fine supper
was given and valuable presents were
received. I am not Annie Jackson any
more, I am Annie Cannon."
Rev. I. Toliver, of Washington, D.
C., writes under date of Jan. 6: "I am
up here, and God is giving me success.
Our church membership has risen from
250 to 675 members within eight
months. We are preparing to build a
86000 structure. My Thanksgiving and
Christmas presents were elaborate,
and we accept them as a mark of high
appreciation from their donors. The
Dallas Express serves as a great
searchlight, through which we can see
all of our friends throughout the coun-
try."
Dr. J. R..Moore, the post master at
Washington, Texas, writing under date
of Jan. 8, says: "I have recommended
for agent at Graball, Mr. W. C. Wilson,
and being postmaster here, I will do
what I can for the grand old Express.
This east end of Washington county is
a "Brazos bottom belt." This precinct
has had the pleasure in years past to

ture for several terms. I think he has
also held justice of the peace office
here since. For the past many years
we have had colored county commis-
sioners. Hon. J. J- Booker held office
for six years, having been defeated by
Wm. Jackson (colored) of Felder, in
the last election. There are three col-
ored postmasters in this precinct—
Graball, McCraven and Washington.

Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 12.—Mr. Ros-
coe Bruce, son of the late B. K. Bruce,
is visiting his mother this week, who
is lady principal of our school. Mr.
Bruce, who attends school at Harvard
university, has been quite successful
in several notable debating contests
and has a very promising future. The
dedication of the new trades building
occurred on the 10th of January, 1900.
1900 Not a Leap Year.
No, Miss Nannie, this is not a leap
year. The old rule will not work. The
ordinary way to determine leap years
is to divide by 4, those years admitting
of an even division being known as
leap years. There are exceptions,
however, to this rule, and the year
1900 is one of the exceptions. The
explanation of this exception is as fol-
lows: Under the Julian calender,
adopted in the reign of Julius Cesar,
in order to improve upon the then ex-
isting method of computing time, the
year was made to consist of 365 1-2
days, which was a little over eleven
minutes in excess of the true solar
year, which consists of 365 days 5 hours
and 46:95 seconds. In consequence of
this difference the equinox, in the
course of a few centuries, fell back
fourteen days. To correct this error
and provide a better adjustment Pope
Gregory in 1582 instituted a new cal-
ender, placing the equinox at March
21 and introducing the intercalary
system which we now employ. Ac-
cording to the Gregorian system every
year of which the number is divisi-
ble by 4 without a remainder is a leap
year—that is, it leaps over the common
year by adding one day more, making
366 days instead of 36-5 days in that
year. This day is added to the month of
February. But if the day were added
every four years without intermission
the gap between the solar year and
the calender year would be increased
a day every few centuries, so in order
to avoid this disparity exceptions to
the four-year rule were made by omit-
ting some centesimal years. Thus,
1600 was made a leap year, but 1700,
1800 and 1900 were made common
years, while 2000 will be a leap year.
That is, only one centesimal year in
four shall be a leap year. The length
of the mean year thus fixed is still in
excess of the solar year by nearly
twenty-six seconds, but as this error
would make a difference of only one
day in 3,325 years, it has not been
deemed necessary to undertake any
further change in the Gregorian sys-
tem.—News.
SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Republicans Called to Meet at Bryan,
Texas, February 10, 1900.
Bryan, Texas, Jan. 2, 1900.
To the republicans of the seventh
congressional convention of Texas,
comprising the counties of Brazos,
Robertson, Falls, McLennan, Bell, Mi-
lam and Limestone:
In pursuance of the call of National
Chairman Mark A, Hanna, and by the
authority vested in me as chairman of
the republican party in the seventh
congressional district, following the
precedence heretofore established in
said congressional district, I hereby
call a delegate convention to assemble
in the court house at Bryan, Brazos
county, Texas, at 12 m., on February
10,1900, to elect two delegates and two
alternate delegates, to represent the
seventh congressional district in the
national republicen convention at
Philadelphia, Pa., June 19, 1900.
The county chairman of the above
named counties will call their conven-
tions in time to elect delegates at least
ten days prior to February 10,1900, and
forward a copy of the credentials to
my office address: (Box 275, Bryan,
Texas.)
Apportionment will be the same as
at the last state convention at Fort
Worth.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is
unquestionably one of the greatest of
American newspapers. It has corres-
pondents everywhere and covers ev-
ery field of news, foreign and domes-
tic. It is strictly republican in poli-
tics, but is, above all, a newspaper,
and ought to be in every home during
the important presidential campaign
of 1900. The price by mail, daily, in-
cluding Sunday, is six dollars per year.
Daily, without Sunday, is four dollars
per year. Sunday only, two dollars
per year. Weekly, issued in semi-
weekly sections, one dollar per year.
The latter edition is a big semi-weekly
paper, almost equal to the average
daily at a price of the average weekly.
It not only gives all the news, but also
a great variety of interesting and in-
structive reading matter for every
member of the family. Write for free
sample copies to the Globe Printing
Co., St. Louis, Mo.
To An Express Reporter On The Coming
Republican Meeting.—Interesting.
"Old Observer," the hero of many a
bloodless political battle, high private
in the Grand Army of Compromise,
who was here last week, made good
his promise to return, last night. As
the reporters came filing in from the
chase, they smiled when they saw his
old v rinkled face, enwreathed in a cir-
cle of iron gray, comfortably enscoun-
ced on a soft chair. "Old Observer,"
like Peter Pindar, being a good and
givat story teller, never fails to bring
about heaven's first law, when he
commences. Asked for a forecast of
the Waco meeting of the republican
committee which meets January 20th,
he said:
"The republican state committee
which meetsat Waco to-day one week,
promises to be an interesting gather-
ing. Since last meeting, Chairman E.
H. R. Green has appointed George W.
Johnson, of Corsicana, Texas, seere
tary. There would seem to be noth-
ing in this appointment, but when it is
remembered that the appointment fol-
lowed Johnson's declaration that he
was for "Goose Neck" Bill McDonald
for national committeeman, it does
look like the anti-McDonald members
of the committee might defeat John-
son's confirmation. This would be
along the lines politics is played. Then,
again, there is rumor gaining current,
that Green is likely to play quits at
Waco at this meeting, and in that
event, the committee would have the
right to name his successor, who would
preside at the coming state conven-
tion. Judging by Green's record for
removing members whom he does not
like and creating members whom he
does like, republicans will not care to
see him name his successor.
Another bone of contention is the
fact that the chairman's call warns con-
gressional chairmen to waive all pre-
paration for the fight in their districts
until they get orders from the state
committee. Congressional chairmen
who know their business, will likely
see nothing good in this piece of
usurpation, proposed to be visited up-
on them by Chairman Green, which is
only another name for "Goose Neck"
Bill McDonald.
While every republican in Texas is
for McKinley, they are not all for the
gang who have been mismanaging the
j arty down here since 1896. The ax
is h ing at the root of the tree, and if
ail the signs don't fail, there's going
to be a new deal, and you'll see it too.
"Goose Neck" Bill has aspirations to
be national committeeman, but his
checkered political career is strongly
against him. Those who know him
best, are looking for a declaration from
him any day, to the effect that he has
changed his mind, and that he is for
"Cheerman Green." M. M. Rodgers,
the strongest republican in South
Texas, is said to be perfectly wild for
R. B. Hawlev. Old John Grant, the
present misHt national committeeman,
has gall enough to offer again to suc-
ceed himself.
Still there's another Richmond in
the field. I mean Charley Ferguson
of Lamar county, who perhaps to-day
is the best known rejiublican in the
state. He has a good record as a con-
sistent, regular, never-boh,-a-ticket,
republican; and, I tell you what's
more, he's going to be i«i it. See? He,
today, taking all things into consider-
ation, stands the best show of any re-
publican in the state, to land as the
next national committeeman.
He is conservative yet firm, know-
ing his rights, he not only ha<s the
ability, but the courage to fight and
not run sway. United States Maa-shal
George Green wants to be the next
state chairman, they say. Well, any
old things is possible with God.
I am tired talking young man, but
put this in your corn-cob pipe and
smoke u: The Waco meeting next
Saturday will be long remembered and
perhaps never forgotten."

EVERY DAY adds to the
list of deaths attributed
to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of
these deaths might be written
down as due to stomach failure.
For it is in the failure of the
stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition, that
"weak" heart, "weak" lungs,
"weak" nerves and other
forms of physical deteriora-
tion have their beginning.
The man whose stomach is
sound, who can digest and as-
similate the food he eats, and so
keep each organ of the body well nourished, is the man who is ica
liable to collapse under the sudden weakness of some vital organ.
The preservation of health which follows the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the fact that it perfectlv
and permanently cures diseases of the stomach and organs of
tion and nutrition, p.trifics the blood and increases the blood
of the body. Weak people will find in this medicine a sure
of strength.
