Abyssinian Dignitary Holds High Position Savannah, Ga., Jan. 7--Dr. C.F. Checizzi, a native Abyssinian priest who has degrees from Oxford and Paris Universities, is Dean of the National and International College of Languages and Sciences of Princeton University, Indiana. Dr. Checizzi is making his fourth tour of the country urging members of his race to return to Africa. He points out that his own country Abyssinia it now an Independent country, has never been conquered, and is the cradle of civilization. If black government could succeed in Abyssinia why could it not succeed all over Africa asks Dr. Checizzi. Dr. Checizzi stated that there were 1,500,000 Negroes actually figuring in the the World War, and that 250,000 of them lost their lives. In contradition of reports of cowardice on the part of black troops engaged in the war, he points to several famous Negroes who have won fame as military and political genii. While it might be said that Liberia and Hayti, both Negro republics have not succeeded, and the failure of Liberia and Hayti is due to the lack of education, said Dr. Checizzi. "while Abyssinia has succeeded." Time will show that these republics can succeed as well as white governments. Many of the white governments in the Balkans and Russia have The youthful Negro’s politeness overwhelmed theeditor. The story goes that he was “ knocked cold’ and that it took him severol min- utes to recover his equanimity un- der the stress of the very unusual circumstances of finding ® mem- ber of the “cullud’’ race the po- litest person of a hard day’s travel and search. Paul Rayfield Johnsen is wear- ing his honors easy and becoming- ly and has promssed to use the prize money in an earnest endeavor to start on the road of procuring a good education. His only rela- tive in the city is an, aged grand- mother who promises to aid the boy to carry out his intentions in this particular. A considerable number of color- ed citizens have evinced an inter- est in the boy and there isa strong probability that he will be the center of a well advised co-oper- ation from members of the race whenever he starts on his trip to the world of the knowledge of things.

Welch Answers Last Call Athens, Ga., Jan. 13—Sunday morning, Jan. 9th., Mrs. Margaret White Welch passed into that country from which no traveller has ever been known to return. She was at her home on Milledge avenue when the separation of her great soul from the earthy frame that had housed it for nearly eighty years was ordained. Mrs Welch had been sick for about two weeks, but having been in good spirits and quite strong under the circumstances, the end was quite a shock to her wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Welch was one of Athens' most loved and venerated citizens, and the representatives of two races will mourn her loss. She was an early graduate of the famous Lucy Cobb Institute; the institution that has trained --- so many young women of her race and employed so many of ours. Child of the Most High God and educated after the manner prescribed for American youth, she was ever a useful public servant; and with the passing years "grew in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." A great multitude of Athens colored men are well acquainted with Mr. John W. Welch, the man whose money has so often been their reward on Saturday: the subject of this sketch is his mother. Heaven help us so to Christianize and educate our children that there may be instilled into them those exalted virtues that, like this noble woman, they may live those lives of love and usefulness, and dying "join that choir invisible of those immortal dead who live again in lives made better by their presence."
