NEGRO LAND BUYERS.
Ueware of those philanthrophic laud
agents, who always have something
good to give a Negro, which looks
good, and sounds good, but is gener
ally “no good." When they are
vouched for by any of the trusted
men of our ruce, then it is time to
invest. Watch the land sharks. They
are becoming too numerous.
Pita For Greater Race Solidarity.
We should endeavor under nil cir
cumstances to patronize race enter
prises and institutions. The great
number of colored people throughout
the country are “asleep” along this
line, says the New Itochelle (N. Y.)
Standard-Journal. To patronize each
other in business brings about race
solidarity and makes our influence
more keenly felt. This Is the rnuin
thing that we need to Instill into the
mind of the average young man and
>7OOlOll of the race.
LET THE RACE GET TOGETHER
Idea of Establishing Bavings Bank In
New York Heartily Approved.
The Amsterdam News, New York
city, Is rendering the race valuable
service by its advocacy of a penny
savings bank to be located in Harlem,
where the great bulk of the Afro-
American population resides. Mr. T.
Thomas Fortune, contributing editor
to the News, pointed out very clearly
tn a recent issue of that paper the
economic value of saving on a small
scale.
The idea Is feasible and should meet
the hearty approval of our people
throughout Greater New York and vi
cinity. Most all churches, secret so
cletles and business concerns have
bttutc accounts. Thousands of dollars
are collected In these Institutions
weekly, and their monthly footings
would be astonishing If brought to
gether and deposited in one common
coffer. Let tlie race get together In
New York and husband its resources
■o as to give employment to capable
vonmr men and women.—Dodson.
INFORMATION.
It costs no more to send your sub
scription by P. O. order. Get an or
der for the amount (less cost of order
and postage) and send it to the Twin
City Star. You will have a receipt,
and time will be saved. Negroes
lose more time than any other race
'on account of their failure to take ad
vantage of the up-to-date business
conveniences of'today.
We congratulate the working class,
“or the men lower down” for their
support of the Star, and many others
of the ‘‘so culled high toned element"
who have stood by this publication.
The people of the Twin Cities de
serve a good paper, and as this iB a
business proposition, we are trying
to cut off all of these parasites, who
will in time kill our energy and con
demn our efforts. This is plain talk.
But Ceremony must doff her pride
and the Negroeß of the Twin Cities
be taught to pay for newspapers. We
hope they may soon learn. We agitate
to educate. If you want any Negro
paper, pay for it as you do for your
rent, food, clothing and the white
daily publications.
OPPORTUNITY.
A Negro can come to Minnesota,
make a comfortable living, purchase
a home, and sit under his own vine
and fig tree, protected by its laws
and enjoy the fruits of his labors—a
life worth living.

their scope of usefulness and helping them
to see the necessity of utilizing the re
sources of Our country. As governor of
tha state of Arkansas I take pleasure in
extending to your league through you a
cordial invitation to hold your next an

Should your organization see flt to ac
cept I can assure you that everything
possible will be done by our citizenship
to make your visit both pleasant and
profitable. Very truly yours,

Kansas. Otber subjects discussed dur
ing the day were “Truck Farming as
a Business Investment,” "Contracting
and Building.” “Advertising One’s
Business,” “Manufacturing” and “Real
Estate.” The feature of the evening
session was the annual address by Dr.
Booker T. Washington.
Added to the harmony that prevails
in the local committee, the white citi
zens of the city and state are co-oper
ating to an extent (hat, to say the
least, Is surprising and reassuring.
The entertainment committee of the
Little Rock chamber of commerce has
given SSOO in cash toward the enter
tainment of the convention, besides
providing the beautiful Kempner’s
theater, tlie most costly In the state,
for the place of meeting. Individuals
among the white merchants and prom
inent colored people nil over the state
have contributed all the way from $25
to $250. The local committee has up
ward of $5,000 for the entertainment
of the convention. The grand lodges
Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and
Mosaic Templars hnve each given SIOO.
Homes for more than 3.000 visitors
were provided. The local street rail
way company offered enough cars to
take all the visitors ou a sightseeing
trip around the city. A side trip was
arranged to the wonderful Hot Spriugs
of Arknusas, and several important so
cial functions were arranged by the
ladies of Little Rock. The banquet on
Friday night, Aug. 18. was a magnifi
cent affair.
H. H. Garner, superintendent of city
delivery; Dr. J. A. Thornton, chairman
of the executive committee; Dr. W. O.
Foster, treasurer, and Hon. Sciplo A.
Jones, president of the local and state
leagues and fourth vice president of

ous memliers of the local committees,
