Last night Zion Baptist church was in business session, the matter under discussion being whether or not the officials of the church should be empowered to dispose of their present holdings at Twentieth and Arapahoe streets and buy a new home. This meeting took place after our time of going to press, but the enthusiasm with which the proposition has been greeted thus far leads us to think that it would carry by an almost unanimous vote. Its present property are the six lots on the corner improved with a church building and two houses. The property under consideration for buying is Calvary Baptist church, located at Twenty-fourth and Ogden streets. It is a stone structure, built 15 years ago, the cost of which under present building conditions would approximate $60,000. It stands on three lots. It contains a main auditorium, seating about 600 people, a little larger than the present Zion. Back of that is a Sunday school room seating 350, which can be thrown open so as to make of it and the main auditorium one room. Opening off from it are class rooms, rest rooms, kitchen, 12 rooms in all, furnished in the fullest for Sunday school purposes. This room also has a gallery surrounding it. The accessories such as furnaces, living quarters for the sexton, the baptistry, and the like are of the best. The latter is heated with a hot water coil. The auditorium is arranged in the modern church style with sloping floor and circular. The acoustics are of the best and beautiful stained windows give it the subdued coloring which is associated with religious buildings. It is reported that the property will Proposed New Edifice o be sold to Zion for a price between $40,000 and $50,000. The view of the matter that those favoring the sale take is that while no doubt Zion's present holdings will increase in value with time, this opportunity to get a modern church will not likely come again and whatever loss will be suffered by a deal now, will be more than compensated by the gain of getting such a fine church at the price offered. BETHLEHEM BUILDS There are large things in prospect in church circles in Denver. One is the proposed new building for Bethlehem church. This congregation, which has used the store at 2716 Larimer street for some months, has about concluded its purchase of vacant property at Twenty-eighth and Lawrence streets, the concluding payment and first cost of the new structure being the aim of the rally it now has on. This church is the youngest of the Baptist churches of the city. For a long time it was a mission church, but serving the whole of the east end of the city it has had material on which to grow and has grown. Especially has this been so since the JOHN H. HARRIS REV. A. E. REYNOLDS. pastorate of Rev. A. E. Reynolds. He is the senior pastor in length of service in Colorado, having worked in this state since his ordination by Central Baptist church in 1887. Except for short service in Cheyenne, Wyo., and Albuquerque, N. M., in the latter place building a church, he has given his whole endeavor to Colorado. Canon City, Cripple Creek, Zion church of this city are his other charges. It was under his leadership that Bethlehem has bought and he seems destined to lead on until the new structure is achieved. of Bethlehem Baptist Church. The design of which the accompanying cut is a representation, provides for a building of 40x60 with a seating capacity on the main floor of 500 and a balcony to seat 300. It is to be provided with basement, class rooms, parlors, lecture rooms, kitchen and accessories. It is to be built of gray pressed brick and steam heated. Two entrances on Twenty-eighth street and two on Lawrence will provide amply for a congregation of any size. Together with parsonage, the estimated cost is $20,000. ORPHANAGE HAS NEW HOME. The Old Folks' Home and Orphanage, which has for years been located on the West Side, has been fortunate enough to secure a permanent home one mile beyond Arvada, purchased for its use by the Church of the Brethren, of which W. R. Rhodes, the manager of the home, is a member. This new home is 40 acres under cultivation. It is already producing vegetables for the Denver market and with the large area will offer the needed opportunity for industrial development within the home. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY The many expressions of good will which have come to The Statesman from its readers cause us to believe that we have pleased them. They make us believe that we could please others who are not subscribers. Both by way of return to our friends and to enlarge our business, we make a proposition whereby they may profit themselves and help us. HERE IS THE WAY: Simply send us the names and addresses of the people whom you think will be interested and we will do the rest. An accurate record of all names received in this manner will be kept, and for each new subscription we get from any list we will extend the subscription of the person who sent us the list for three months. Thus if we receive four new subscriptions from any one list the subscription of the person who sent us the list will be extended for a full year. Of course you may send as many names as you wish, the greater the number of names you send the larger the number of subscriptions we will probably receive and the longer the period for which your own subscription will be renewed. Be careful to write the names and addresses plainly and don't fail to put your own name and the address at which you are receiving the Statesman on each list you send. Address all lists to Circulation Department, The Statesman, 1026 19th street, Denver, Colo. The third quarterly conference at Grace chapel was far in advance of any of the previous ones of the year.

Interesting Story of the Busy Life of a Bishop's Wife. Charlotte, N. C.—To enter fully into the affairs of one's husband to the extent that he will be inspired and benefitted by such evidence of devotion is concretely displayed in the life of one of the leading women of the race in the person of Mrs. George W. Clinton, the talented wife of Right Rev. George W. Clinton, D. D. She is a model for the young women of the race in that she is sacredly devoted to the duties of home and in work for the uplift of the young. The education received by this accomplished woman at the Central Alabama academy and at Clark university, where she graduated with honors, has prepared for the race the kind of woman that is needed to help develop the young women of the race and contribute to the forward movements for the uplift of humanity. The influence of Mrs. Clinton was disseminated in her native state as a pedagogue soon after completing her education. She is known throughout Alabama as one of the race's best educators. While attending Clark university her rich voice attracted those of the ```markdown ``` MRS. GEORGE W. CLINTON. institution especially interested in vocal culture and became the cynosure of the eyes of the music lovers of Atlanta because of the training received at this school, which developed a high soprano voice. She filled her engagements so creditably that she soon was sought to join professionals, finally becoming a member of the renowned Loudin Fisk Jubilee singers. She gained an enviable reputation for herself. Today wherever a conference is held or any musical of especial note is given in the city of Charlotte, N. C., she is the leading character. When the bishop is in his office Mrs. Clinton spends some time with him. She is in touch with every department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. She is eminently qualified to fill the positions of a number of general officers of her church at the conferences of the bishop. She often represents at one conference the following boards: Church extension, general fund, benevolence, mission and general treasurer. The Buds of Promise of the A. M. Z. E. church is a beneficial movement, when the scope of the work is considered. The tenets of the church are taught the children, and a conception of living a life of service is given them in a practical manner. This juvenile society throughout the connection is superintended by Mrs. Clinton, who is loved by the children as well as the adults of the church. The Women's Federation of Clubs in North Carolina is doing a work that is farreaching, with Mrs. Clinton as president. From Section Hand to Engineer. It may not be generally known, but nevertheless it is a fact, that a colored man presides at the throttle of an engine that pulls one of the fastest trains on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. His name is William G. Burnes of Indianapolis. Ind. He runs between that city and Columbus, O. Mr. Burnes has been in the employ of the company for over thirty years. He began as a section hand and was advanced from one grade to another as he increased in skill and efficiency until he was promoted to a passenger engineer about twenty years ago.

Actions More Effective Than Words The names of the colored people who preach the doctrine of race pride and race support are legion, says the Dallas (Tex.)

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Back to the Farm The time has come when the Negro in America is maintaining his competition in the world of labor and of trade at the cost of greater and greater energy. So long as the dominant race could delude itself with a belief in our inherent inferiority, it paid us little attention; but now that it realizes our possibilities, it is paying us the compliment of active opposition to our further advance. Through schooling and apprenticeship we are preparing ourselves for classes of work different from that of the older generation. Yet the truth must be recognized that we are meeting opposition in finding employment in these new lines and in fact are being eliminated in trades we have always had. The barber, the waiter, the janitor, the laborer, all have cause now to feel the competition of white men, and this loss has not yet been compensated for. Only a few days ago in Denver one of the sky scraper managers, after promising the head janitorship and janitors to the race, retracted and employed white. A bank allied with the same interests has eliminated several of its colored help. Colored domestics are now sharing with foreign and even American women, the work in the home. Wages for white railway employees are being raised to correspond with the increased cost of living, but colored areeking out an existence on the same wage scale as has always prevailed, and that, too, with the traveling public giving less and less in tips. Instances of our elimination might be indefinitely multiplied. Yet none is so hopeful as to see increased opportunity sufficient to offset them. The wage earner is the support of the business and professional man. It is therefore no remedy of this condition to urge more business enterprises, nor better patronage of such as we have. Our task is to give to the mass of our people a better living. If they could be accepted in the trades according to their skill, it would be sufficient to give them better training in schools or shops. But since color is a bar to employment, regardless of skill, we must go further. To our mind, it is written on the stars that the Negro must go back to the farm. It and it alone offers us a living under such circumstances that color does not count. It is true that the Negro farmer is subject to murderous attacks, such as are common in the south, but the cities have shown us a spirit just as unkind and unjust. Colored farmers have been evicted from their farms by whitecaps and unjust administration of the law, but so have their city brethren. There is not a single undesirable feature of country life which arises from prejudice, but that has its counterpart in the city. But the country has this advantage, that the product of the black man's labor is not tainted and is received in the world's market in competition with any man's. Not so with the colored man's labor in the city. Not only is it discounted by whites, but by even the race itself. The race has come to realize that it must be sharers in the land and is assiduously buying city property. This is a most commendable effort, but lacks the assurance of a steady income for the owner. The same investment in farm land creates opportunity. It makes employment. It sweeps aside all middlemen between the Negro worker and the position. He is his own boss, with the absolute assurance that his labor will be productive when intelligently applied. The city Negro lives his life in a rented house and is buried with little or no estate. Mayhap he owns a house which he leaves to shelter his family, but they must still battle for bread. In one case in a thousand he saves money enough to leave a competence The $200 which will make a first payment on a city home will secure a government homestead of 160 or 220 acres, put a cabin on it and set the farmer's feet on the high road to independence, with the same expenditure of labor and brains he now makes for the profit of his city employer. There is now a strong agitation for the national government to relinquish to the states the public domain. That will mean that land which under present conditions costs about $2.00 per acre, payable in installments, will cost $10.00. The Negro must wake up now. He must repair his failing fortunes. He must see that the sands in the hour glass of his opportunity are running low. He must stop the folly of clinging to the husks of pleasure in the city before he starves. Especially do we commend this article to the women, for thanks be to God, cur women have the foresight to see what should be done, and they will do it. They are a credit to us and would be to any race. Let the women say that the families can do as well on the farm as in the city.

In the neighborhood of Five Points thousands of dollars are spent annually for groceries, clothing, millinery and the like. A big percentage of this is spent by colored people. It seems to us that such conditions are an opportunity for someone. We are so used to complaining over lack of opportunity that we talk rather than look for a way to better ourselves. There is no market for linen collars among naked savages, but where trade conditions are established we should either venture or stop complaining. DENVER PERSONALS. Spring means flowers, birds, green verdure and it is the season when the housekeeper thinks of making beautiful the surroundings of the home. In this paper will be found the advertisement of D. J. Sullivan, who is a dealer in that class of goods and whose service and prices will make you know that your home can be made as beautiful as anyone's at a reasonable cost. Call at his store at Welton and Fifteenth street. Maybe it is the inside of the house you wish to beautify as well. Read the advertisement of Franklin & Son furniture dealers, who prices to you at retail are as low as wholesale. This is not a statement made merely to catch you, but is a literal truth. The middleman's profit, the high rent, cost the buyer something and that something you can save by going the block or two from the car to their warehouse at 2016 Blake street. Twenty-five dollars saved on the hundred dollars' worth is surely enough to make you take the walk. Remember the goods are all new, strictly up-to-date made by the best makers in the country and sold to you by clerks as courteous and competent as any.

Dear Sir: Since the public has interested itself in my private affairs, and since the rumors are harmful to any youth whose life is before him, I take this opportunity to state facts which can be investigated if still curious, and which can concern only the meddlers and evil wishers. There is a certain period in every boy's life when his education is not his chief thoughts. In some boys the tendency to waywardness is stronger than in others. Everyone knows who lives here that Denver is full of places which nourish and stimulate this restlessness found in the minds of growing boys. There are among the whites military schools which restrain by strict discipline until this period is passed, and at the same time continue the boy's education. After finishing the grades, if a colored boy should prefer a trade to the high school course, it is a well nigh impossibility for him to accomplish the desire, owing chiefly to his color. I find after investigation that the State Industrial School is the only place possible where the colored boy is under discipline sufficient to make him acquire that which in after years he will be proud of. My boy did not commit any offense against the state or society other than most boys at his age are doing every day, that of wasting precious moments in "having a good time." We, his parents, had him placed in the Industrial School at Golden in order that he could learn a trade, continue his studies and avoid, at least until he is older, some of the rocks that wreck the lives of far too many boys. We put him there not to punish, but to be benefited by the opportunities offered there, which could not be otherwise obtained, and we can at will bring him home if we so desire at any time. Hoping that this explanation will satisfy the busy bodies, I am, Very respectfully, IDA C. DE PRIEST. THE STATESMAN----4 DENVER NEWS DENVER NEWS Dr. Harper and O. T. Jackson went to the Deerfield colony near Masters Sunday. The outlook for homesteading was so good that the doctor is going to take up a quarter section. Mr. Jackson's wheat has gotten so high it waves in the breeze. The outlook this year is the very best. The heavy artillery is turned loose now and then. When its thunder is heard you may depend upon it that it is the echoes from the checker games which Wm. Crummer and C. F. Hall indulge in. It is worse than war. It is a plain case of he who lives wins. Incidentally it can be said of them both that they are good players and challenge any weight, any size, any time. J. E. Travick has returned to the city from Hot Springs. He is again in good health. While away he had the misfortune of losing his mother in Georgia. He went to Salt Lake Wednesday. W. B. Brown, who was hurt in a fall from a scaffold, is better. Miss Mattie Cowden, the old reliable hair specialist, now has a sign in front of her parlors, which attracts the attention of passers.

The Kansas City Son praises a Denver girl as follows: It was the good fortune of the management of The Son to be invited to a demonstration of the domestic science department of the seventh grade pupils of the famous Attucks school, presided over by the dean of the teachin gforce of Kansas City, Mo. Prof. J. Dallas Bowser. The demonstration was held in the rooms devoted to domestic science at Lincoln high school and the class was under the instruction of that thorough mistress of her profession, Miss Zepporah Joseph, teacher of domestic science in Attucks school. Miss Joseph is a member of the Joseph family, formerly of New Orleans but now of Denver, and with her sister, Miss Carrie, instructor in sewing in the same school, have proven during their three years of service in that school to be two of the most competent and successful teachers of this city. At 11:30 the class served luncheon to their invited guests, who were Dr. William H. Peck, Mrs. Lucinda Day, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bowser, Mr. Lewis Woods and Mr. N. C. Crews. The table was artistically decorated with the school colors, purple ribbons and white carnations, and it can be truthfully said that the service was surpassingly fine. The prize skirt awarded by Rev Reynolds' Baptist church (Bethlehem) has been received by Miss Marybelle Price at Washington, D. C. The long illness of Max Andrews caused the physicians in charge to believe that he was afflicted in a peculiar way and an exploration by operation was undertaken last week at Mercy hospital. The operation itself was a success, but it was found that he was afflicted with a tumor and that his condition is critical. A brother, Roland, has arrived from Waco, Texas, to be with him, making four brothers now in the city. Mr. Andrews is the chemist connected with the Robrer's Artesia Cream company, a very responsible position. The Five Points barber shop has swapped sides, now being on the west side of Welton street, just across from its old stand. The accommodations are better. It has added another workman to its force, insuring quick accommodations for customers. Proprietor Jones is up and doing every minute. Ed. Warfield is better after a slight illness. There are big times going on this week at Central Baptist church in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the church and the first anniversary of the pastor. The programs of each night have been interesting and well received. A full account of them will appear next week, for the end has not yet come at the time we go to press.

CENTRAL NOTES Central Baptist church is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this week. Rev. A. M. Ward of Shorter preached the introductory on the first evening and great was this sermon. He was followed by Rev. A. E. Reynolds on the second evening and our souls were made to burn while he preached Christ to us. The pastor will preach the closing sermon to this celebration Sunday night. His subject will be "Our Religious Relation to Each Other." Baptizing at 12 m. All are invited to the church.

All the people who could crowd into Zion church were there Wednesday night to hear the Williams Jubilee Singers. They all went away satisfied that they had heard a peerless aggregation of singers. The company is composed of Messrs. Chas. P. Williams, J. H. Johnson, J. S. Crabbe and G. L. Johnson. The ladies are Mesdames Clara K. Williams, Virginia Greene, Annis Hackley and Hattie F. Hobbs. Choruses, classical and jubilee, solos, tribes by the ladies, quartets by the men filled out two hours of entertainment that kept the audience in an uproar of applause. Words cannot reproduce the sweet harmony they made, nor do justice to the satisfaction they gave. They really live up to their title of the great-harmonizing octet on earth. Special interest attached to the performance because of the presence of Virginia Greene, prima donna, who happens to have lived in this city formerly. Her clear, flute-like notes of tremendous range stamp her a singer among singers, Mr. G. L. Johnson, the tenor, was no less a favorite. Mrs. Williams of contralto voice had a stage presence which alone would have made her an audience-pleaser and having a good voice was always welcome. However, individual praise ought to include them all, for Mr. Crabb's bass, Mrs. Hobbs' dramatic singing, Mr. Williams' comedy hits, and J. H. Johnson's taking off of the minister were all good. Rev. Over and the choir of the church are adding to their already good reputation for purveying good entertainment. While in this city the company was the guest of Hotel Abyssinia, excepting Mrs. Greene, who stopped with her brother, W. W. Dancy of West Tenth avenue. The Williams Jubilee singers have received considerable courtesies at the hands of Denver people during their stay here, but none more thorough than that of J. B. Biggins, who has kept them busy seeing the sights of Denver by auto. Nothing was too good for them from Mr. Biggins and they have reason to remember him among the many who have been kind. SAVED CHILD FROM DEATH. "After our child had suffered from severe bronchial trouble for a year," wrote G. T. Richardson of Richardson's Mills, Ala., "we feared it had consumption. It had a bad cough all the time. We tried many remedies without avail, and doctor's medicine seemed as useless. Finally we tried Dr. King's New Discovery, and are pleased to say that one bottle effected a complete cure and our child is again strong and healthy." For coughs, colds, hoarseness, la gripe, asthma, croup and sore lungs, it is the most infallible remedy that's made. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by all druggists.

SYSTEM OF ELECTING BISHOPS First Hand Information About the Work of Individual Pastors by One of Their Brethren—Achievements of the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, Great Financier and Organizer. By Rev. J. M. HENDERSON, D. D. Chicago.—The race has so far developed that you can no longer name an individual and thereby describe a community. Among the blind the man with one eye can easily be king; in a cornfield an oak tree, however scrublike, easily towers, but in a forest of giants only the tree of surpassing growth stands majestic. A man may be great in a little rural district, town or city and yet be but a pygmy when among the men of the great world. The day has passed when the A. M. E. church will accept as final the estimate of a man placed upon him by the circumscripted little world in which he lives and moves. To be great a man must be torn from his province and stood up side by side with the tall men of the great world. To prevent the election of four more bishops there is no way open except to resort to rotation and brave its dangers. Should it obtain, farewell to the chance of the honest man to ever reach the front. It is bad enough as it is, and the church is too wise to make it worse. To continue the present system and elect four more bishops and retire two is what will likely be done. There is not one single individual in all the vast field of the A. M. E. church who stands out in bold relief and appeals to the connectional eye. Like Samuel, the next general conference must go forth on a quest which will bring much that will surprise. Many likely sons may pass unapproved, and it may be said, "Are here all M. H. REV. DR. A. J. CAREY. thy children?" And the answer may be, "There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep." The word of command may be, "Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down until he cometh hither." I have had the chance to give several weeks to the first real vacation of twenty-nine years, and I have put in the time making a study of our church and our people at Chicago. Part of the time I have spent in hospitals and midnight missions and places of amusement—amusement such as draws hundreds from our churches—some of the time at the leading churches of the other race and under conditions where I could get a fair glimpse of the candid opinion the world holds of our churches and men and race. In writing of the Chicago men I want before finishing to tell the church of the stone wall-like Rev. Jesse Woods, D. D.; of that marvel among pastors, Rev. Horace Graves, D. D.; of the pastor, preacher and publicist, the genial Dr. R. E. Wilson; of the well known Dr. W. D. Cooke, pastor of Quinn, and of a number of men of whom the connection is bound to know of their deeds before many years. I also want to talk of Dr. J. T. Jenifer, the noblest man of his type among us. I will have much to say of Dr. Timothy Reeves, P. E., and of the worth of calm and just Bishop C. T. Schaffer, M. D., D. D., but my first two articles deal with Dr. A. J. Carey and Dr. D. P. Roberts. I know every bishop and all the prominent men of every part of our church who have been on the stage since 1880, and I can form a fair judgment of men. I am not now an advocate of any man, but my position is that of an independent and rather severe critic, but honest, whose desire is to picture to the church away from here what I see in local environment and coloring. I will begin with Dr. A. J. Carey, because in point of service he is the senior of Dr. D. P. Roberts as a Chicago pastor, although in point of years he is much younger. It must be kept in mind that Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension society, is a member of the fourth Episcopal district, that he is a very popular ex-member of the fifth, that he is held in high esteem throughout the first and is now in the second district and would without doubt be the favorite of each of these districts should he be placed among any likely number from whom a choice had to be made. Dr. Carey is not a candidate for the episcopate, but because of his splendid record as a church financier his friends will no doubt urge him for the post of financial secretary. What was his work in Georgia and Florida as a pastor the brethren of these states can best tell. It is sufficient for present purposes to say that because of his work and fitness Bishop B. W. Arnett selected him for the pastorate of Quinn chapel, Chicago, which was at that time in terrible financial distress. During his pastorate of six years about $21,000 was paid on the indebtedness; the pastor's salary was raised from $16 per week to the princely amount of $1,800 per year, besides parsonage, etc.; the dollar money was placed at so high a mark that it staggered some of the oldest heads when reported—from $180 to $815. The congregations became immense, and the order of service and the method of worship developed into models. He introduced the individual communion service. Dr. Carey was young and full of the fire of youth when he began his great task, and he was matured, strong and full of the masterly power of experience when he entered upon the pastorate of Bethel. That Bethel now slightly unranks Quinn chapel in the point of membership, assessments, etc., is a fact that came about since the administration of Dr. Carey ceased at Quinn. Dr. A. J. Carey during his eleven years' pastorate of these two great churches did not contentedly confine his labors to routine church work, but became acquainted with and entered heartily into the best activities of the community. He soon formed the acquaintance of the leading men and women of the city of both races who take an interest in public affairs and was thus able not only to raise thousands of dollars for the church, but also was able to do heroic service for the race in many ways. It was largely through his efforts that interest was aroused and steps taken which prevented the extradition of Steve Green. This notable achievement is but one among scores of like character. He is a member of the board of directors of the Chicago Law and Order league and of the advisory board of the Anti-saloon league. He has presided over Republican nominating conventions in this city. During the great peace congress held in this city it was through Dr. Carey that the only Afro-American on the program was given a place, and this was our own distinguished educator and orator, Professor H. T. Keanling. And at the great banquet held that evening in the gold room of the Auditorium hotel, at which there were United States cabinet officers and envoys from every nation on earth, Dr. and Mrs. Carey were the only representatives of the Negro race present. When the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was celebrated in February, 1909, Dr. Carey was appointed by his honor Mayor Fred A. Busse as the representative of his race on that committee and given entire charge of the Afro-American part in this historic event. He planned and presided over the great meeting, one of the largest of our race in the history of the world, in which more than 15,000 people gathered in and around the Seventh regiment armory. The complete story of this celebration is found in a volume of 500 pages, entitled "Abraham Lincoln—the Tribute of a Century." In this volume both the addresses of Dr. Carey—one, "The Unfinished Task," and the other, "The Other Side of the Question"—are preserved along with fifty-eight other addresses by such eminent men as Governor Woodrow Wilson, United States Minister W. J. Calhoun and others. Colonel William McChesney, compiler of the work, declares that the two addresses of Dr. Carey were among the best delivered on that occasion and selected as two out of the sixty selected from over 2,000 Lincoln day addresses. He is still a young man of sound health, wonderful physique and magnetic presence. His appearance and voice have caused many white people to liken him to the widely and well known Dr. Gnusaule. He is capable of performing vast tasks and is of great courage, calm in action, prompt and thorough in execution, faithful to the smallest detail and always genial and kindly of spirit. Whatever may be said in criticism of the manner which he has of undertaking much more than the mere routine work of a pastorate, the fact is he has thrived under the strain of his great labors. His habits of life are well regulated and sound, and he gives promise of many years of energy and power. He is now pastor of the institutional church and is doing a great work in that all but abandoned field. The institutional church can be developed into the greatest church of the race.

In the course of his remarks Professor Tobert said: "Too much credit cannot be given to those brave and courageous men and women from New England and the north who planted schools and colleges in the south for the moral and educational uplift of the colo race. These people have sacrificed and are today sacrificing much that the race may have a chance to lift itself up through the influence of Christian leadership.

SEET, NEAR 20th THE STATESMAN—7 BIG BUSINESS ORGANIZATION Optimistic View of Race Progress as Seen In Durham. DIRECTED BY GAPABLE MEN. What the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association Has Accomplished Should Give Great Encouragement to the Masses of Afro-Americans to Press Onward. By R. W. THOMPSON. Durham, N. C.—An institution of a truly national character, which merits a place in any discussion of the higher commercial endeavors of the colored people, is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, with headquarters in Durham, the thriftiest center of colored people in the Old North State. The splendid article by Dr. Booker T. Washington in a recent issue of the New York Independent calling attention to the manifold attractions of Durham and the contrast afforded by the disasters that have befallen a number of unsound racial enterprises throughout the country emphasize in no uncertain way the commercial solidity represented by the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association. To refer to this association in these columns at this time is to pay a tribute to the worth of men who are succeeding because they are doing business on a firm business basis and to sound a note of encouragement to the masses that they may not be discouraged by reason of the failures that have come to other concerns that neglected to properly safeguard the interests of their investors. The abstract of the association's report for the year ended Dec. 31, 1910, discloses a volume of business which should be a source of pride to every healthy minded Negro in the land and of which the leaders of the movement have every reason to be proud. The books for the year show a total of business done amounting to $245,239, an increase of $25,138 over the previous year. The association was organized in 1899, and the first year's business amounted to $840. The next year it was $1,265. Each year the association has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth until the high water mark in 1911 has been reached, with evidence that there is no limit to the possibilities that the future holds out. Among its real estate holdings the company has four commodious office buildings of truly metropolitan type. It has in force a little over $1,500,000 worth of insurance. During its twelve years the company has paid over $500,000 in benefits to its members. Furthermore, it has a $20,000 cash bond in the hands of the South Carolina insurance commission as a guarantee for its policy holders in that state. All claims have been promptly paid, and managers and agents confidently assert that the business advertises itself wherever it is being operated. The instructions to agents, a copy of which has been widely circulated, indicate that a vigorous campaign is to be inaugurated looking to the extension of the association's operations far beyond its present confines. The entire country is to be included in its scope as rapidly as commercial prudence will admit. Visitors to Durham are astounded when they view the tangible results that are growing out of the activities of this immense enterprise. They see lucrative employment offered to earnest and intelligent men and women of the race. They see the practical working out of the race problem by the esteem in which the colored people of the community are held by the best whites because of this demonstration of the capacity of the Negro for self helpfulness and his ability to cope with the most exacting commercial requirements of a peculiarly commercial age. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is directed by the most reliable colored men in the south. They have character, brains and business acumen of the highest order. They enjoy the confidence and esteem of both races. Their methods are the cleanest, and their credit is gilt edged. The official roster is as follows: John Merrick, president and founder; A. M. Moore, M. D., secretary and treasurer; C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager; directors, John Merrick, A. M. Moore, M. D., C. C. Spaulding, E. R. Merrick, J. M. Avery and J. H. Garner. There is no gainsaying the fact that it is to solid enterprises like the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association and to the type of men behind them that the Negro race must look for the permanent solution of the vexatious problems of life and living that confront us day by day. They deserve and should receive our constant and most prayerful support. Dunbar Normal Industrial School. The Commonwealth Trust company in St. Louis is security for funds which are now being raised for the erection of the Dunbar Normal, Industrial and Agricultural school.

It's foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against in swamps and marshes, bayous and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters destroys and casts out these vicious germs from the blood. "Three bottles drove all the malaria from my system," wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lucaura, N. C., and I've had fine health ever since." Use this safe, sure remedy only. 50c, at all druggists.
