An Endowment of Higher Education in the United States — Designed for Smaller Colleges) Not Large Universities — No Discrimination as to Race or Creed—Gift Will Probably Be Augmented by Future Donations —Interest Available on Gift. $600,000 Annually. At a meeting of the General Education Board held Friday, a gift of ten million dollars was announced from John D. Rockefeller. The fund is to be an endowment for higher education in the United States. Dr. Buttrick, of the board, said the announcement of the gift was contained in a letter from F, T. Gates, who is Mr. Rockefeller's representative. The following is a copy: 26 Broadway, New York, June 30, 1905. To Messrs. Wallace Buttrick and Starr J. Munphy, secretary and executive officers, General Education Board, No. 101, Washington Street, New York: 34 William Street, New York. Dear Sir: I am authorized by Mr. John D. Rockefeller to say that he will contribute to the general education board the sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000), to be paid October first, next, in cash, or, at his option, in income producing securities, at their market value, the principal to be held in perpetuity as a foundation for education, the income, above expenses and administration, to be distributed to, or used for the benefit of such institutions of learning, at such times, in such amounts, for such purposes, and under such conditions, or employed in such other ways, as the board may do best adapted to promote a comprehensive system of higher education in the United States. Yours very truly, F. T. GATES. The statement proceeds: John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with others in this city, was instrumental in forming the General Education Board in February, 1902. A very broad and admirable chartter was secured from Congress, and signed by President Roosevelt on January 12, 1903. A gift of one million dollars from Mr. John D. Rockefeller was immediately passed over to the Board, especially designated for educational work in the South. Other funds, have been added by other philanthropists since that time, and the Board has confined its work hitherto mainly to educational work in the Southern States. "The present gift differs from Mr. Rockefeller's first gift to the Board in the following particulars: "The principal sum of the gift of one million dollars made on the organization of the Board could be distributed. The present gift of ten million dollars is held as endowment, the income only being available for distribution. "The first gift was designated to be used exclusively in the Southern States. The present gift is for use not only in the Southern States, but throughout the United States, without distinction of section. "The first gift could be used for common schools and secondary education. The second gift is confined to higher education, and is designed specially for colleges as distinguished from the great universities, although there is no prohibition in the letter of gift against contributions to universities. Both gifts are alike available for denominational schools, as well as for those which are non-sectarian. While the funds are employed for denominational schools, they will be employed without sectarian distinctions. No special denomination will be particularly favored, the funds will be open to approved schools of all denominations, although they cannot be employed for giving specially theological instruction. "In distributing the funds the board will aim especially to favor those institutions which are well located and which have a local constituency sufficiently strong and able to insure permanence and power. No attempt will be made to resist moribund schools or to assist infirmations which are so located that they cannot promise to be permanently in use. "Within these limits there are no restrictions as to the use of the income. It may be used for the income, for building or used for expenses, for debts, for insurances, or for any other purpose which can be found most serviceable. "It is known that Mr. Rockefeller has not gift in contemplation for a long time, and Mr. Gates has been studying the subject in his behold for many months. It the fund proves to be as useful as is too anticipated, Mr. Rockefeller will un- tedly make large additions to it in future years." The present members of the board are as follows: Robert C. Ogden, chairman; George Lester Pabody, treasurer; Wallace Butler, secretary and executive officer for the States south of the Potomac and Rivers, and Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas; Starr J. Murphy, secretary of executive officer for the States of North and West; Frederick T. Gates, C. Gillman, Morris K. Jesup, Wal- H. Page, Albert Shaw, John D. Rock- sler, Jr., Hugh H. Hannu, William K. Lester, and E. Benjamin Andrews. There are four vacancies in the board which are expected to be filled later. The General Education Board is an or- ganization of private citizens interested in imaging and systematizing their atti- tudes in educational beneficence. It is using a careful and systematic study of educational conditions and needs in the States of the Union in order that may be able to use wisely the amount money at its disposal. Its charter con- dicates extending its endeavors any- where and everywhere in the territory of United States. Incidentally the in- fusion gathered supplies the material bureau of information. People who wish to make gifts for education, larger small, may have the benefit without mage of such information as the Board been able to secure. The annual interest on Mr. Rockefeller's loan will amount to at least $400,600. The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text.

WASHINGTON ADDRESSING THE GRADUATING CLASSES OF THE ARMSTRONG MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL THE HIGH SCHOOL AND NORMAL SCHOOL IN CONVENTION HALL, WASHINGTON, D. C., JUNE 16, 1905. WHITE BOYS WRECK CHURCH. Went Through St. John's Like a Cyclone—Two Under Arrest—Sue "Jim Crow" Park. NEWARK, N. J., July 3.—Three white boys invaded St. John's M. E. Church on Academy street on Monday last and made a complete wreck of much of the valuable property in the office. Entrance was effected through a basement window. The damage done amounted to at least $552. The boys on entering turned the pulpit upside down, the doors were strewn with broken glass, hymn books and sheet music; a valuable piano was rendered quiet, the keys having been pulled out and scattered around; stained glass windows were smashed with the gas lighter's pole; two pulpit Bibles were left with backs torn completely off; and cushions were ripped open. The church was left in such a condition as if a cyclone had passed through it. Strangely enough, the damage was done some time between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in queen daylight. Two of the miscreants have been apprehended, but the third is still at large. Andrew Closs, aged fifteen, when caught confessed his crime. He was on parole from the Jamesburg Reformatory and was promptly returned to that institution. Richard McCann, aged sixteen, is awaiting action of the grand jury. The third is said to be twenty years of age, and his companions in crime have given his name and address to the police. It was only in December last that the interior of this church was improved at a cost of $3,000. Twenty memorial windows of stucco glass, costing $50, nine included in the improvements. One of these was given by Mr. A. Lomery in memory of her daughter, Evelyn. The pulpit of onk, a pre-plano costing $50, a new carved door now gas fixtures including Welshbach lights were among the improvements. The whole interior had been nearly painted and decorated, and the work had been nearly paid for. Services were held all day Sunday in the church. Andrew Keyes of 40 Academy street, has brought suit against Hermin H. A. Schmidt, the proprietor of Olympia Park on South Orange avenue for $500. Mr. Keyes claims to have been forcibly ejected from the park on June 18 on account of his color and for no other offense whatever. He and some friends went to the park entrance and asked for tickets of admission. The seller then sold them to colored persons. The party then secured a white man to obtain the tickets for them. On going in at the gate, the party was asked to leave the park no Negroes were not allowed or wanted there. They refused to obey the request. Then came the proprietor himself, making a suborn resistance. The officers were then called and the pleasure-seekers were ordered to leave. Hence the suit. ordered to The annual union Sunday school excursion to Royton Beach will occur on July 14. Four churches are interested in the pleasure trip, St. John's, St. James, Bethany Baptist and Plane Street Presbyterian.

J., July 3.—The first Afro-American special messenger in the United States service in this city has entered upon his duty. He was appointed by Postmaster Bachorach and is a promising lad named Charles Dever. The messenger service in the postoffice has been strictly, white since it was started, and the white boys were in hope that no change would ever be made. But the postmaster thought otherwise. Rumors were rife that the white boys would act urgily, but the chances of their being penalized for infractions of rules will likely cause them to think twice before doing anything rash. Several of the white boys who were anxious for no change were talking about striking and other retaliating acts Saturday night. A very exciting runaway about 3 a.m. Saturday almost proved dissatisfaction for an Afro-American passenger who had been publishing too much. The horse took form of a Chinese restaurant and started towards italic avenue. Another bus was in the way, but luckily swerved and saved a collision. The side lump was swammed. The horse then ran upon the side-walk, broke his traces and scampered off of the. the tipsy passenger said at the end of the runaway: "I am sober now." Mr. E. C.

WASHINGTON ON DUTY Splendid Advice to the Graduates of the Armstrong Manual Training School, at Washington. Vast Concourse of People Near Him. The Race Has Its Future Before It, Not Behind It, and It is Full of Praise. All Education is Good, but "There is no Commodity so Worthless as Cheap Education." The following oration by Dr. Booker T. Washington, delivered to the graduating classes of the Armstrong Manual Training School, at Washington, June 16, at Convention Hall, is taken from the Washington Industrial Enterprise, for which it was stenographically reported by Mr. William H. Davis, principal of the Lincoln Temple Business College. Dr. Washington said: Mr. Commissioners, Gentlemen and Ladies of the Board of Education, Principal, Teachers, Members of the graduating classes: It is a pleasure and a privilege for me to be permitted to stand before you for a few minutes this evening. When your invitation came to me in the midst of the many duties and responsibilities which press so heavily upon me at this moment of the year, I hesitated long as to whether or not I could, and ought to accept the invitation which was so generously extended to me. And then when I thought that, perhaps, I might be able to speak a word that might be of some comfort—that might, perchance, be of some profit to some struggling and ambitious soul, I said that my duty leads me to accept this invitation and so I am here. The question that presents itself to the thinking mind is, can you justify in actual, indisputable results, the difference between $13 per capita and 73 cents per capita as is true in one of our Southern States? In order that you may justify that difference it is important that, as parents, important that as teachers—important that as students you sink all personal differences, all localisms, all more temporal considerations and let your influence for good go out to the people of the United States. (Applause). Because you do not teach alone in the District of Columbia, twenty thousand children, but in a very large degree you are the teachers of the three millions of children of our race scattered throughout this Nation. That brings to you, I repeat, as teachers, parents and pupils, a tremendous responsibility. We are looking to you more and more each year for example, for guidance, for inspiration in our educational methods throughout this country. Failure here is not local but National and success here is not local but National, reaching the people in every part of this country. You have an opportunity here as few people have ever had an opportunity to actually put into visible form the teaching of the "Teacher of teachers," when he said: "Go into all the world" and teach the peoples and the nations the commandments which I have impressed upon you. And, my friends, I am glad that for a number of years I have had by my side a young man who went through your public schools, who graduated at your High School and later graduated at one of our great universities, who has manifested in his daily life the fact—the great truth that the money spent in the education of our people here has not been squandered. (Great encouragement.) And just in proportion as your public school system can position and continue to turn out and can multiply by the years and by the thousand, men of the objections and type of Bruce Conkling Bruce (Great archival). In the same degree will justify the notion and the District of Columbia in extending every dollar that is now expended here in the education of your sons and your daughters. But in order that the man of the type of Bruce (and others whom I could pamper may be multiplied, you must remember that the men and women who go out from your public schools must be "those of the Word" and not mere "talkers of the Word." (Laughter.) You have here an equipment for giving to our people training in every form of education that is necessary for any form of honor. You have facilities in the District of Columbia for the most complete education, from the kindergarten to through the university, and my friends I believe the university in every form of education which your equipment has provided.

It has been sold, that "all that glitter is not gold." How often have we purchaed some trinket, believing it to be eighth karat gold, only to realize then that it is but hollow brass? I have a very clear recollection of a case, only so well illustrative. In looking into a jeweler's window, one day long, long age, I remember how irresistibly fascinated I became with what seemed to me a genuinely solid gold watch. For days and weeks and months I haunted that window like a piece of steel attracted by a magnet, until, alas, one day I found myself in possession of the required amount of cash to purchase the treasure. The moment I became, possessed of if I was the happiest mortal in all the wide world. But my happiness was of short duration, for within the short space of a month I awoke to the fact that what I had purchased in the belief that it was pure gold was, after all, but hollow brass. A few days before my eyes had been opened to this fact the store where I had purchased the article had been sold out at auction, and, of course, for me there was no redress, but I had learned a valuable lesson that to this day I have never forcet In our daily life we will find the same experience recurring. That friend whom we have thought to be solid and as firm as a rock, turns out eventually to be but a hollow mockery of the name. How often in our daily life we come into contact with people who we have every reason to believe are the genuine article, only to live to learn that their lives are but a mockery of the real—that their whole lives are but artificiality or sham. When we go to market to make our purchases we always seek the freshest and best, and we accept nothing but the best. Why, then, in our daily lives should we accept as our friends any but the best—those that are real and pure and true, not those who are living by mere artificiality—any more than we should allow a dealer to palm off on us a rotten apple as a solid one or a brass watch as a gold one? Again, it has been said that "we should choose our books as we would out friends." Vice versa, I should also say that we should choose our friends as we would a good book, for as we can be edited by the reading of only a good book, so likewise, there is nothing to be gained by a friendship that in every vicissitude does not ring true. It is commonly remarked that be or she, as the case may be, has a host of friends; but undoubtedly those who make such an assertion have probably never realized the difference between acquaintance and friendship. Some one has said that "one true friend in a lifetime is a remarkable good fortune" and I claim that twice fortnite, indeed, must that man be who can count his friends beyond the fingers of one hand. Of course, one may have acquaintances unnumbered, but of the real, genuine, whole-souled friends, those who are with you through thick and thin, just as adhesive in times of adversity as in the hey-day of your prosperity, I think I make no extreme statement when I claim that the number can be reckoned upon the fingers of one hand. The remainder are but so much artificiality and artificially is nothing less than being just the reverse of what God intended us to be. Let us take that class of individuals who in order to be numbered in the "super crust," are living on a scale far beyond their incomes, occupying thirty dollar flat when their income warrants only a ten-dollar one. It's all very well to be in the swim; that is, if you shrewd; but, says that princess of whims, Marian Harland: "The sore, the gore, the cancer in our body social is so consuming desire to seem what we are not to vie in show with those who are born to the purple, or have made enough money to purchase an expensive imitation of genuine Tyrian, who let go the most to snap at the shadow." "Twas Dyssion, I think, who, also said: I look down the habitable world; how few know their own good, or, knowing it, pursue. So much are, our wishes are so vain. That what we most desire proves most our pain." I am personally well acquainted with sources of young men whose employments do not bring them in more than ten, twelve or at the most fifteen dollars per week, and who yet are living in the most lavishly furnished apartments and dressing in the most fastidious fashion, in many cases outshining their millionaire employers, little realizing that "Tis better to be lowly born. And range with humble livers in content. Than to be perched up in a glittering grief And wear a golden sorrow." Some of the most quiet, unpretentious homes where the floor may be bereft of carpet, but is kept scrupulously neat and clean with soap and water; where the table may be without a cloth, save a few newspapers in lieu thereof; and where the meal dispensed may be but a mere sandwich and a cup of tea, yet the matter in which it is proffered will cause it to be as relished as the most sumptuous in such homes, too, as we often find the best rest and peace, often in direct contrast to the misery and pretence of some of our most lavish homes. We should ever be reminded that it isn't the softest tread of a slipped foot, the dainiest gown, the straightest hair, the pearliest complexion that covers the most heart and the most brilliant intellect; that just as we've been taught that the finest things are not always read between the most sumptuous binding, so also do we not always find the most honest and purest heart wrapped in velvet and lace; or, as one writer has more vividly expressed it: "A soilskin sack may be a beautiful thing to have, but it does not always warm the heart." Have broad ideals and cultivate refinement, but never be ashamed to shake the hand of a man because his clothes are in tatters, because there are holes in his shoes or because he is wearing a frayed hat. It may be that he has just had a arrow escape from some dire calamity, or is just simply down on his luck, but it rises with the tide again. You may sometimes stump your toe trying to be the first to grasp the hand you once ignorantly smouldered, for we can never tell in this world when we need somebody so we never know when the most desired will be the most desirable. This child is too overcrowded with people who fine apparel in preference than being in line with the little dream. Clothes do not put the man," or as he immortal Robert Burns said: "A man a man for a that." There are folks to-day who perhaps a beginne days were schoolmates and lovers of yours, but now that they are a little better off than you, they pass you with hardly a pod of recognition, and you are not careful to step aside will In the diaries of them who are the closest to probability, in that case the folks who use commonly large comparative, little realizing that they would description. It is all very well to be the possessor of a large vocabulary of words, but it is best that we know how and when to use them. As a rule those who know most generally say the least; that is, until they is a special call to testify. It isn't the one that makes the least mouth-nose that says things that are worthy to be encribed upon the memory. The quiet little man whom you see sitting alone and unobserved in yonder corner and who sadum has anything to say, will perhaps some day be the Chief Executive of the Nation, while you who knew it all will be still pegging away at the same old bench and abo-last. Some one, also has said that "witty talker needm set rivers affame with witty writings," but somehow or other it seems that, the less a man knows the more he wants to tell it. Just by way of illustration, I am going to relate one or two little incidents that have come under my personal observation. "On a Sunday afternoon I was one of a number of callers at the house of one of Brooklyn's elite young misses. One young man present, having to leave rather early, was requested by the young hostess to be present at a enchere party which was to take place on the following Thursday evening. His reply to the invitation ran in this wise: "If nothing unforeseen of a more serious or suspicious nature presents itself, I shall be more than pleased to do so." Whereas, it would have been just as well if he had simply said: "I thank you very much for the kind invitation, and if nothing prevents I shall endeavor to be present. At another house, and in another home, the following scene place. After a sudden silence had fallen over the room, one young man, wishing to show his superior intelligence, said to the young hostess: "Won't you be so kind and condescending as to obliterate this sudden gloom by manipulating upon the harmonious vibrator?" I finally tumbled to the fact that the "hiatimious vibrator" was nothing more or less than an upright piano which stood over in one corner of the room, and knew enough to make a noise only when it was touched, which was more than my friend knew. As an earnest observer of human nature in all its various and peculiar phases, I have seen many things that I cannot understand. I'll relate you a few of them: Why is it that some married men, who seldom, if ever, take their wives out into society and who are the professed friends of other men, yet at every opportunity coquette with the wives of the very men for whom they profess to have the deepest regard? Why is it that those men will cry down other men for stepping into a sackon to get a glass of beer, glott over the fact they never touch liquor in any form, and yet go home and ill-treat their wives and offspring in the most inhuman manner? Why is it that some of our popular proachers on their way to church will wait until they reach their stoops and then holler back for their wives to come off where the public can get a splendid view of their importance? Why is it that some men will allow their wives to work their very soul-cause out over a wash-board and ironing table in order that they may attain to some prominence, and then just as soon as they attain the goal of their ambitions by hanging a shingle over a small office proclaiming them to be an attorney or a physician, then cast their wives aside heartlessly as being too old-fashioned and not up-to-date. Why is it that some people who are closely connected with the church will prate over the fact that they had beaten the railroad company, out of a nickel car, and yet never realize for a moment that a small girl was one, that a white sin is as black as the most abomany one, and that in robbing the railroad company out of a nickel they were equally as guilty with the man who robbed his employer of one thousand dollars? I have seen men and women at the head of our institutions, such as homes and anylug, who are worse than brutes in their treatment of those in their charge; and yet these same men and women, because of their prominent position, are invited to speak from the platforms of our public halls, and (Oh, the hypocrisy of it!) from the pulpits of our houses of worship amidst thunderous applause. I remember a young man who obtained a position at Columbia College as an assistant porter, but in order that his chums might think he was studying law. Every evening and every morning he trudged to and fro with three or four large law books under his arm; in fact, no one would have been any the wiser had not the head porter let the pig out of the bag by saying that the young man's law studies consisted merely in washing the cupids that held torn-up law briefs of the real students. There are, too, some young men acquaintances of mine who are employed in down-town offices in New York City, who, in order that you should think their positions far superior to the one you occupy, should you happen to meet them on your train mornings or evenings, will greet you thus, as they take a look at their time piece: "My, but I am early this morning! I don't usually get down to the office until nine-thirty"; and in the evening it's "My, but I am late to-night! I generally leave for home about four-thirty." Again, it is more than passing stranger to me when I hear of the many public receptions, banquets, and dinners which are given from time to time by the Negroes of these boroughs to individuals at the cost of hundreds of dollars, besides presenting them with large purses—they who were well able to care for themselves—when a look around us reveals so much misery and suffering of countless thousands of our race who are in dire need. The $200 purse that was presented to the distinguished Mr. So-and-So the other night by way of appreciation, what joy would have brought to many a cheerless home? Let us do a little figuring just to see what that $200 would have done. $300 at $3.75 per ton would have purchased 80 tons of coal to be delivered to 80 families who will be suffering from the severe cold next winter. $300, when the thermometer is sizzling at blood-heat this summer, would have purchased ice for 150 families for two months. $300 at $10 per month would save 20 families from eviction from their homes. $300 at $2 per pair would purchase just 150 pairs of shoes for the shoesless poor. $300 at $10 per suit would purchase 30 suits of clothes to cover the nakedness of the poor. I might go on and on in enumerating the good that $300 could do toward alleviating the sufferings of the needy Negroes of our boroughs. Does it never occur to you as you sit toasting your toes on the fender that all the world is not situated as pleasantly as you? Does no vision of cold, cheerless rooms and starring inmates crowd among the pictures of plenty and prosperity that form themselves in the glow. Its Present Position Compared With That of the Whole Union in 1869. From the New York Sun. Very few of us have anything like a proper idea of the progress of the South during the past forty years. We can compare values now with those of 1860 and call it forty years because the four or five war years must be eliminated from any financial or industrial tabulation of progress. Take, first, a comparison of the South's present in certain main lines with the position of the entire United States in those lines in 1860: Alabama. $270,000,000 Arkansas. 202,000,000 Florida. 56,000,000 Georgia. 433,000,000 Nebraska. 640,000,000 Louisiana. 270,000,000 Maryland. 616,000,000 Mississippi. 215,000,000 North Carolina. 443,000,000 South Carolina. 174,000,000 Tennessee. 396,000,000 Texas. 614,000,000 Virginia. 480,000,000 West Virginia. 240,000,000 Total. $5,260,000,000 1904 Alabama. $323,000,000 Arkansas. 250,000,000 Florida. 111,000,000 Georgia. 351,000,000 Kentucky. 728,000,000 Louisiana. 351,000,000 Maryland. 680,000,000 Mississippi. 271,000,000 North Carolina. 443,000,000 South Carolina. 210,000,000 Tennessee. 428,000,000 Texas. 1,082,000,000 Virginia. 536,000,000 West Virginia. 247,000,000 The gain in four years is $331,000,000, or nearly $233,000,000 gain each of the four years—equal each year, within $23,000,000, of the entire nation's export of agricultural products in 1860, and $400,000,000 more each year than the imports of the entire country in 1850, and $800,000,000 more than our entire exports of that year. It is also exactly equal, each four years, to the value of all the gold we would obtain. It exceeds the progress made in assessed property valuation in the ten years 1800-1900, when the increase was $755,000,000, or at the rate of $75,000,000 a year. But that is not all of the satisfactory story. The crops of the South show large gains in values in 1904 over 1903. Note the figures: 1904. Corn. $370,000,000 Wheat. 69,000,000 Oats. 29,000,000 Irish Potatoes 14,800,000 Irye. 7,420,000 Hay. 51,300,000 Total. $540,420,000 Increase over 1903. Corn. $20,000,000 Wheat. 15,000,000 Oats. No increase Irish potato. 1,200,000 Irye. 345,000 Hay. dec. 1,078,000 No. Increase, one year. $35,467,000 That increase is $12,000,000 more than all the gold we coined in 1800. In the four years 1901-04, inclusive, the total value of the corn crop of the South was $1,287,000,000. Of the six crops named above, the 1904 production was worth $140,000,000 more than that of 1902. But the South has other crops of large values outside of these and its great sample, cotton. They are rice, sugar, tobacco, sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits and live stock products. The census of 1900 gave them as $484,000,000. They were probably $545,000,000 in 1904, a guild of $81,000,000. On the value of cotton, these figures give us as the value of the South's agricultural products in 1904, no less than $1,087,000,000. In addition to all this, there is the outh's large annual production of pig iron, coal and other minerals, and its yearly output of factory products. The census of 1900 gave this latter as: Alabama. $80,000,000 Arkansas. 45,000,000 Florida. 30,000,000 Georgia. 100,000,000 Kentucky. 154,000,000 Louisiana. 121,000,000 Maryland. 242,000,000 Mississippi. 40,000,000 North Carolina. 95,000,000 South Carolina. 58,000,000 Tennessee. 108,000,000 Texas. 110,000,000 Virginia. 132,000,000 West Virginia. 74,000,000 Total, one year $1,100,000,000 All this is progress and prosperity at which not only every Southerner but every American citizen should rejoice, as the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of all. WALTER J. BALLARD. SCHENECTADY, June 20. From the Trenton, (R. L.) Tham. Thomas M. Gugley, the prominent one of Principal James M. Gugley, of the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School, won the dept prize of $80 in the empirical contest at Williston Seminary, one of the leading preparatory schools of New England, at Bampton, Mom. He was also recently elected president of the Adjulph Deating Society, which carries with it the honor of delivering an address of the "Willistonian," the weekly paper published by the students of the institution. Young Gregory, after completing the English course in the Manual, Training and Industrial School at Bordentown entered Williston Seminary, from which institution he will graduate in the class of 1906 at the age of 18 years.

Net $1.50, postage 12 cents extra. This book is a full and complete defence of the civil and political rights of the Negro, and shows that by his services to the Negro in peace and in war, he has earned the rights of full American citizenship. It should be in every colored home. A Pew of the Many Press Notices. The Chicago Tribune:—"This book is one of the most intelligent and enlightening historical essays on the subject that has appeared. As a whole it is a strong, righteous, wise, and timely discussion of one of the most vitally important sociological problems that confront the American people." The Boston Transcript:—"Dr. Sinclair has written of the citizenship of the Negro not only as he sees and feels it, but as it appears from the point of view of history." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat:—"It is a work that possesses remarkable vitality. The book is timely, ardent, and fairly written, and should prove of interest to the readers of both races concerned. The Columbia (S. C.) State:—"The book possesses a real value. * * * It is, perhaps, the fullest and best expression of the point of view of a Negro that has been published." The Cincinnati Times-Star:—"As a work of reference the broad scope of the book makes it valuable." The Army and Navy Journal:—"Dr. Sinclair discusses earnestly but calmly and with frankness, intelligence and philosophic spirit the essential elements of what is commonly termed 'the Negro question'. He is fair, and plain-spoken in his plea in behalf of his mice, which he contends, is entitled to a larger measure of justice, sympathy and encouragement than it has yet received, and makes out a case which reasonable men will recognize as deserving."

Y. City Has Just Issued $50,000 worth of 6 per cent. Gold Bonds, secured by a First Mortgage of $100,000 on Real Estate owned by the Company. The Bonds are issued in the convenient denominations $10.00, designed for those wishing to invest from time to time small amounts. All Bonds mature in ten years, and are guaranteed an annual interest of six per cent, payable in April and October of each year. The Company has arranged to issue deposit slips to those who are not in a position to pay cash for the Bonds when bought, which will be held by the purchaser until the Bonds bought are paid for, at which time the Bonds will be delivered. In addition to this the holder of ten Bonds, or more, will be allowed to surrender at any time from one to three, and receive the amount in cash. They may also make special arrangement for a shorter time than is required to mature the Bonds. This will enable investors to make a six per cent, guaranteed investment and still keep their money subject to their withdrawal, just as though it were in the bank. In making these arrangements we believe that we have thus devised the most satisfactory method for parties of small means to invest in our securities, ever offered to our people, and we trust that they will take advantage of our liberal terms. No less than five Bonds can be bought on the part payment plan. Orders for Bonds by mail must be sent to the Treasurer at the Home Office. Money may be sent by Money Order or Registered Letter, addressed to the Company. P. BHERIDAN BALL, Pres L, C COLLINS, Sec.; JOHN H. ATKINS, Treas.

Send along your subscriptions and encourage your neighbors to go and do likewise. Wealth of the South. That is a splendid record of industrial development in the Southern States which we reproduce in another page of The Ace to-day from the New York Sun. What part the Afro-American people have had in Southern industrial development during the past thirty years does not appear on the face of it; but the fact is that they have been the backbone of the Southern labor force on the one hand and a considerable employing class on the other—a labor force which the South may deery and abuse, but which it cannot get along without, and which it holds to resolutely, even to the extent of making it too hot for labor agents who would tamper with it. The large productive wealth of the South to lay is in a very large degree the result of free Afro-American labor. Why seek, as many do, to deny this fact, and to make it appear that these people are a lazy, improvident lot, who hamper rather than promote the industrial interests of the South? Why not not "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's?" And the proper thing to do is to improve the character and condition of this labor force in order to make it more effective and therefore more profitable to itself and to the South. Princely Benefactors of Education In this, the industrial age par excellence, and in this country, the richest in natural resources and in the enterprise of its citizens of any in the world, it is inevitable that many towering fortunes should have been amassed. The perils to the State of such concentration of wealth have been noised incessantly by agitators; but these perils have so far proved academic. Our millionaires have bestowed so many vast benefactions upon the public as to seem in a sense agents of the people; in that they have collected the country's wealth into great reservoirs, whence they have disgusted it in life-giving streams over the arid and poverty-streaken sections of the Nation. Education, which may be properly called the religion of the United States, has been the chief beneficiary of millionaire liberality. The pioneer in this line was George Peabody, the founder of the Peabody Fund, who, unmarried and childless made the whole South his heir. In 1857 and 1869 he, deeply pitying the rhinous condition to which the War had reduced that section, and believing, as most Americans do, that "By education ye shall be saved," placed in the hands of sixteen trustees sums aggregating $3,454,000, and directed that "the income thereof should be applied for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral or industrial education of the young of the more destitute portions of the Southern and Southwestern States of the Union; my purpose being that the benefits intered shall be distributed among the entire population, without other distinction than their needs and the opportunities of usefulness to them." It is safe to say that this gift marked a revolution in the South. The famous field agent of the Peabody board, Dr. Curry, an impassioned John the Baptist crying in the wilderness of Southern ignorance, proclaimed the evangel of education throughout the section. It is said that he addressed more State legislatures than any other American citizen. To him and the Peabody fund is due the universal passion for education which, is the most auspicious portent in the South to-day. One of the two great benefactors of the Afro-American people solely was John Fox Slater, of Norwich, Conn, who in 1882 created a trust fund of $1,000,000 for their education. "The general object which I desire to have exclusively, pursued," he directed, "is the uplifting of the lately emancipated population of the Southern States and their posterity, by conferring on them the blessings of Christian education. The disabilities formerly suffered by these people and their singular patience and f- established in just the name and good will of Benjamin and his men. I cannot but feel the excitement which is due in view of their providing ignorance, which exists by no fault of their own." Without Mr. Slater's gift, Atlanta, Shaw; Talladega, Clark; Clafin, Fisk, Tougaloo, Spelman, Tuskegee, Hampton and many lesser schools would have found it immensely more difficult to get upon their feet. The other philanthropist who endowed "Afro-American education was Daniel, Hand, of Guilford, Conn., who in 1888 committed to the American Missionary Association $1,000,894.25 in trust, "to be known as the Daniel Hand Educational Fund for colored people, the income, of which shall be used for educating indigent colored people of African descent, residing or who may hereafter reside, in the recent slay States." In addition, "Mr. Hand provided that his residuary estate, amounting to $300,000, should be applied to the same purpose. Important aid from this fund has been received by Avery Institute, Shaw, Atlanta, Hampton, Alabama State Normal, Berea, Fisk, Tougaloo, Howard and several other schools; and by individual promising students in sums of $100. It would be superfluous to speak of the splendid gifts which Mr. Carnegie has lavished upon education, so fresh in the public mind is his establishment last April of a $10,000,000 pension fund for college professors. This fund will serve to elevate the personnel of the colleges by attracting better men to their service. His gift in 1903 of $600,000 to Tuskegee Institute has been his most conspicuous endowment of education among Afro-Americans. The munificence of Mr. John D. Rockefeller has animated for many years the American Baptist Home Mission Society and held up the arms of the General Education Board, which at its foundation he gave $1,000,000. His donations to individual schools have been liberal, wise and helpful. His latest gift of course, we that announced last Friday, of Simonson to the General Education Board "the promise a comprehensive system of higher education in the United States." This gift is designed to broad colleges as distinguished from universities, and therefore the masses rather than the classes. Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Michigan, are by location and expertise of tradition often inaccessible to ambitions and impassioned youth. Mr. Rockefeller's aim is to raise the standard of the hundreds of smaller institutions all over the country which bring an opportunity to secure higher education to every young man's door. In the hands of the General Education Board, whose impartiality is to race is well established and known. Mr. Rockefeller's gift should materially benefit Atlanta. Fisk and their smaller fellow institutions and rejuvenation in a timely manner their efforts, which have been so successful in the past, to raise up leaders and professional men among the race's talented tenth. All everybody recognizes the race's need for higher education, complemented by industrial education, we welcome the generous benefaction which promises to dispel some of the clouds which have lowered on our race institutions for higher education. What We Believe About the South. In another column of TIME, Aor today we publish a highly interesting letter from Rev. J. B. Kayner, the president of the Renew Industrial Institute, in which he asks as many questions as a Philadelphia lawyer. Among the questions he asks are the following: 1. Don't you believe the South is the best place for the Negro? 2. Don't you believe that Texas is the best place in the South for the Negro, who desires to own a farm and build up a good family? 3. Don't you believe it is the duty of all Negroes to strive to make the Southners their best friends? 4. Don't you believe it to be your duty to go to the South to help Dr. Booker T. Washington and Hon. R. L. Smith and those who think as they do, in their God-blessed efforts to establish and ever maintain good feeling between the races? Dr. Booker T. Washington and Hon. R. L. Smith are great men because they are good and useful; and they are doing a God-blessed work in the South. You can help them. 1. We believe the South is the best place for the great masses of the Afro-American people, because the climate and the economic conditions arg best suited to them in every way. They require a warm climate, and do not thrive in any other as well; and the industrial conditions were made for them, in a slave condition to be sure, and they have labor and business and professional opportunities in the South which they do not enjoy in other sections of the country. But it is not necessary for all Afro-Americans to live in the Southern States, because some of them cannot tolerate the industrial, political and social conditions which curse the Southern States, and to endure which requires an amount of personal sacrifice which some Afro-Americans are incapable of, and the writer is among that number. We prefer to live where we are the equal of every other man in the eyes of the law, and where our opportunities for enjoyment and development along normal lines is only limited by our capacity and wishes. In 1915, the first school for African Americans in New York became a town and build up a good family. We spent some time in Texas, on a lecture trip, some years ago, and we found the State magnificent in its distances and in the possibilities of its development; we also found the people, black and white, among the beat in the South. 3. We believe earnestly that it is the duty of the Afro-American people to cultivate friendly relations with the white people and to make of them as good friends as it is possible, under the circumstances. But we believe that this is equally the duty of the white people. The duty is a mutual obligation, which neither of the peoples can violate with out the gravest consequences. That the races have become so far estranged that the cordial and helpful relations that they sustained before and during the War, of the Rebellion, are dangerously strained, we believe to be due to the actions of demagogical politicians of both races, in which the white politicians have been more demagogical and pernicious in every way than the black ones. In the past the white farmers and business men of the South, Texas included, have been whipped into line by their demagogical politicians, who had not capacity to make a living outside of politics, so that the present condition of exasperation has been brought about. We believe that the farmers and business men have become weary of this condition of affairs and that the days of the political demagogues, as dominating factors in the life of the South, are written on the wall, and that a grass diet is in store for them, and that the sooner they are forced to it on all-fours the better it will be for all concerned. The masses of the Southern States, black and white, want peace, want to make money, want to develop the agricultural, mineral and commercial resources of their States; the politicians who have dominated Southern politics ever since the War have made race strife the chief stepping-stone to the accomplishment of their base desire to hold office for personal gain and not for the public weal; and this is absolutely true of the white as well as the black political demagogue of the Southern States. When we reach a period to their vile domination, when the farmers and business men of the South take political matters into their own hands, and command the public instead of being commanded by them, we shall have a better condition of affair in the Southern States, and Afro-Americas of capacity, education and spirit will be less deserved to leave the South and seek their fortunes in States where the conditions approximate morally to what is fair play in the ordinary affairs of life and evenhanded practice in the administration of the laws. 4. No; we don't believe it is our duty to go to the South and help Dr. Washington and Mr. Smith, and men like them, in the work they are doing. We can give them better service in the work we are doing in New York, in which we have always striven to hold up their hands, than if we live in the South. And, then, we are not needed in the South as a resident, because we are, temperamentally, built the other way. We believe, however, that we should visit the South from time to time and keep in touch with its men and affairs, and do so. Mr. Fortune's Grandfather. The New York Press is a wideawake Republican daily newspaper which manages to catch the manners living as they rise and to be on the right side of most questions of public moment. In the following item, however, the Press mixes fact and fiction when it says: "The able and gentlemanlike Negro editor, T. Thomas Fortune, who looks like an Indian, must have descended from slaves in Virginia owned by the Thomas Fortunes." No; our Mr. Fortune is not "descended from Virginia slaves owned by the Thomas Fortunes." His grandfather was a free born Thomas Fortune of Virginia, who went to Florida about 1854. He was a nettlesome man, with an Irishman's love of a serap, in one of which he was killed by a man who managed to "get the drop" on him. Our Mr. Fortune never knew his grandfather nor felt the need of him or of his Virginia relatives, the Thomas Fortunes. We notice with interest that the Press speaks of Thomas F. Ryan, the Virginia financier who sleeps in New York, as "Thomas Fortune Ryan." So. We are glad that there is room a plenty in New York for Timothy Thomas Fortune and Thomas Fortune Ryan. It is a pleasure to note that W. Allison Sweeney, a veteran in the newspaper business, is now editing The Chicago Leader, a paper which by its appearance and editorials seems to be ahead of the Afro-American newspapers in that city. By the appearance of the last issue it seems to be the best edited and most up-to-date paper ever published in that city. We congratulate Mr. Sweeney. A century after Paul Jones died in poverty and want in a foreign land the United States is tapping her hills to do his ashes honor. How much better would it have looked had Uncle Sam shown some of this respect to Paul Jones himself—Seattle Republican. Susan Smith. When Shoe made an appearance among our members Wednesday.

A good deal of commuting has attached to a "norman preached a few days ago in the Big Bethel A. M. Church; in this city, by Reverend J. A. Davis, the providing elder. This norman structures churches, our people anywhere and numbers among the education some of the best educated people of the race. Rev. Davis is himself a type of the progressive and consecrated minister and his utterances are to be taken more or less ordinary consideration. In the more recent book he preacher made the broad and bold assertion the Afro-American youth was a moral degenerate and that corruption was his chief stock is trade. Coupled with this was the startling observation that the colony minister, or the greater part of it, had corruption and was not himself just what it should be oil educational and moral lines. By some peculiar chance, which rarely happens, a reporter for a daily newspaper was present, and that night the librarian man got busy, rattling off the sergeant with laudatory comments added by the reporter to be read by the world the next morning. Rev. Davis had stirred up a hormonal reaction to the preachers and some condemnations that outburst to genius dissent at condition that has been magnified, others thought Rev. Davis was suffering from spite at certain other ministers; and still others surmised that the whole thing was due to warm weather and a torpedo fire. And yet all of this comment did not prove what the preacher had charged me more than did the bare statement of the constigations by him prove their truthfulness. It is not always necessary for a man to be mind or mean to speak the truth. Public utterances, and especially those that bring persons into contempt or disgrace, should be carefully considered before they are made and never without satisfactory proof that they are true. The Afro-American has so much to stand for that he is not immune to this view that his views are to be heeded from the house-tops. And yet it is admitted that there is a measure of truth in what Rev. Davis was saying, that is that there is too much immorality among the young Afro-Americans. This is not tantamount to admitting that he is worse than the youth of his community, but it is not proof that he could live with doing great many of the bad things he does. Most of his shortcomings are due to errors of the head and his shortsightedness. While Rev. Davis was no doubt much worked up and allowed his imagination some play, if what he has said will tend to cast a salt on whatever immorality he can express in his life, it is not a distinct benefit. As to the preachers, it may be said that they are a class of people who always come in for a share of knocks. It is not possible for them to perfect and they have their faults, just as the rest of us have. If what Rev. Davis says about them is true there is good in them, and their tanks, for certain it is a serious charge that has been laid at their doors. "On a late Negro excursion a fight began with knives and pistols, and other persons were killed, two or three of them were wounded, and one was executed. What saves Negroes are two intelligent and well-to-do farmers and their families lived within a half a mile of each other not far from the prosperous and cultured city of Vidosta. It is said that the two farmers been presidents. They were bitter members of the community and had made fierce threats against each other. "About the time the gambling, drunken Negroes were shooting and cutting another the dog of one of the farmers. Vigan to back furiously and contemptuously. The farmer's son and daughter went out to investigate. The distance from the house both children were shot down. The screams of the girl were soon hushed in death, and her body lay on the ground until daybreak. The boy crawled to the house, cried for water for hours, said recognized two of the assassins as the killers. The fat and mother were helpless and terrified for four of their own murder. "The other farmer, his three sons one or two Negroes are in Vaboboe charged with the crime. One of the Natives to go with the three sons, kill the family of five and burn the house over murdered bodies. The people of the community are excited, and there has the usual talk of lynching; but an trust has been promised, and it is likely office, expressed in the law will prevail. And so we have it on the authority of the black man that the Afro-Americans are an awfully bad citizen; while on the authority of a prominent white man, we are told that the white man is in the sense, just as bad as the Afro-Americans ever dared to be. It all goes to show that the race question orator still exists, the center in the stage in which the succulent in him had its origin. THOMAS H. MAYNARD Nashville Afro-Americana Will Walk.
