WAS JEFF BAYTS SLAVE
Interesting Delegate to the National Busi
ness
Among the interesting men who are in Chicago as delegates to the meeting of the National Afro-American Business League, is Isalah T. Montgomery, who was a slave of Jefferson Davis,
AFRO-
and will now is the mayor of the town of Mound Bayon, Miss., a flourishing town which he has founded and 'built up since the war.
Mr. Montgomery tells many entertaining stories about the life on the Davis plantation, one of the largest and most remarkable of the great cotton plantations in the entire South. He was a foreman on the place, and he himself was taken into the house" at an early age to be made a "house" servant. Because he showed unusual aptitude he was taught to read and write, and in time became a sort of office boy for Joseph Davis, the older brother of Jefferson Davis, coming in this way to have an intimate household and of many of the business and political matters in which his masters were interested.
The Davis plantation comprised many thousand acres, lying in a huge bend of the Mississippi river. There were two plantation houses, named "Briarfields," and "Hurricane," the last named so because at one time a hurricane had swept over the place, doing great damage. The affairs of the plantation were managed by the older brother, "Mr. Joe," while "Mr. Jeff"

spent much of his time away from home, occupied with political affairs at Washington and elsewhere. "Mr. Jeff" was a wonderful man, both as a speaker and a writer." Mr. Montgomery has said of him. "He could say more in one sentence than most men could say in half a page."
There were 400 slaves on the plantation, divided into two squads called "the upper" and "the lower." Each had its own overseer, and there was great rivalry between the overseers and the men to see which division would come out ahead on the crops. The management of the place was so great and kindly that Mr. Montgomery, in speaking only, says the people on the place had only the one of what slavery really was. The overseers were not allowed to punish anyone of their own accord. They made complaint to the owner of the place, and then, on certain days—usually Sundays—a "court" was held, in which all the cases which had come up were heard. "Mr. Joe" was the judge and decided what should be done in each case.
The Davis plantation had a landing of its own near the house, at which the smaller river boats could die up, but the larger boats—including those which varried the mails—stopped at a landing three miles down the river. It

CYRUS FIELD ADAMS, President of National Press Association.
The members of the National Afro-American Press Association convened in Philadelphia, in historic Bethel church, the "Mother" of the great A.M. E. denomination, founded eighty-five years ago by that wise and fearless leader, Richard Allen, rejoice that they meet under such favorable auspices, and have so many reasons for the belief that the future of the Afro-American people is a bright one. We are more educated than our race that we have more Afro-American journals than ever before, that they are better edited, cleaner, and more successful; have a higher moral tone and are being recognized more and more as the real defenders and educators of the race. We rejoice under the guidance of the Afro-American Press, the Afro-American people are assisting in the suppression of crime, cultivating the best possible relations with the better classes of all races in the communities in which we are promoting the percentage of illiteracy, making proper property, becoming more religious, learning more trades and are each year better citizens.
We are happy in the belief that we still have the friendship, good will and

assistance of the better class of our white fellow citizens both North and South, and that the sentiments expressed by Senator B. R. Tillman in his recent Wisconsin address are not shared by them; but that the thoughtless few who applauded them were momentarily carried away by the sophistry of a crafty demagogue, who was insulting the intelligence of his auditors in the hope that his utterances when reported at home would win for him the support of the ignorant and venal of his own race, which he so much needs in the campaign upon which he is about to enter. We denounce him as a dangerous fire-brand who is enlisted to note the friends of the race in the North to murder and other unlawful acts and thus justify his own barbarism. We suggest that a man who stands before the American *people*, a self-confessed thief and murderer, is not the proper person to lecture Northern communities on civic virtue and the duties of citizenship.
We urge the Afro-American people to be law-abiding, industrious and saving; to educate their children; to support worthy enterprises conducted by members of their own race, and while realizing the difficulties which beset them, to be of good cheer; for they never were so prosperous as they are today, and the civil and political rights

which are now being denied them will surely be theirs, as the result of a patient continuance in right living and good citizenship.

to get the mails. After the war had begun he used to stop on his way back and take the papers out of the room. He knew how to know what the latest war news was.
On the morning that Jefferson Davis started to go to Montgomery, Ala., to be inaugurated president of the confederacy, Mr. Montgomery was one of the two men who rowed him down to take the steamer. They were late in getting away from the house, and long ago heard the steamer "blow," that landed heard the steamer "blow," that landed in the South. Knowing that they could not reach the landing in time, Mr. Davis had them steer out into midstream to meet the steamer as she came along. The captain of the boat had been expecting Mr. Davis that morning, and when he saw the small boat he stopped the steamer and took him on board. When Mr. Montgomery was asked if Mr. Davis seemed impressed at this time with the importance of the journey which he was undertaking, he said: "Nobody could possibly do it could what Mr. Jeff was thinking of by the expatriate on his face. That morning he was as pleasant and cheerful as could be, and apparently with nothing on his mind. He talked with us about our-being late, about the boat and all such things as that."

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1901.
We hope the Afro-American and other colored members of the eu-mercial council, which meets in London shortly, will pass strong resolutions of praise, and commendation and also present a more substantial token, medal, cup or something to the many proprietor of that West End hotel who
Afro
taught those prejudiced white Americans such an excellent lesson. It seems that when these aforementioned natives of the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" heard that 200 Afro-Americans were coming to this hotel where they were staying, they were amazed and formally protested to the proprietor, assuring him that such a thing would not be permitted in the United States, and demanding that the Afro-Americans be accommodated in a separate part of the hotel. The proprietor declined to interfere. He said:
"I could not think of offering an insult to such men as Bishop Derrick, New York; Bishop Tanner, Philadelphia; Bishop Gaines, Atlanta, and Bishop Arnett, Ohio. I told the Americans that when the Indian princes were here no one objected to meet them, and I do not propose to make any distinction at the expens of the Afro-Americans."
It is very evident that those American snobs are as far beneath the Afro-Americans, who will be members of that council, as they feel themselves above them. And they need not run away from the hotel as some are preparing to do, as those distinguished gentlemen will not have time to pay any attention to their presence.
THE APPEAL takes pleasure in reproducing an excellent article from the Indianapolis News on the career of Hon. Charles Gates Dawes, controller of the currency. In addition to the many good things contained in the article, we can say that Mr. Dawes has always shown a decided friendliness toward Afro-Americans. He has done many things to assist the race and is always ready to lend a helping hand to any worthy Afro-American. He never pushes a man to the front solely on account of his color, but if he finds that an Afro-American is well equipped and of strict integrity, no man will go further to secure proper recognition of these qualities than Charles Gates Dawes.
At New Orleans Judge Somerville, of the civil district court, before whom the case of David J. Ryanes, an Afro-American against Jere Gleason, supervisor of registration, was on trial, has sustained the exceptions filed by Attorney General Gulon and dismissed the suit. This is the suit instituted at suggestion and expense of the National Afro-American Council to test the constitutionality of the suffrage clause of the Louisiana constitution by which ninety per cent of the Afro-Americans are disfranchised. The case will be carried up to the supreme court of the United States.
The Republic of Haiti will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary in 1902. Recognizing the importance of the event, the National Afro-American Council at its recent meeting appointed a commission to represent the Council on that occasion. The commission is as follows: Bishop Alexander Walters, T. Thomas Fortune, Cyrus Field Adams, John C. Dancy, John W. Thompson, Ernest Lyon, George E. Wibecan, Jr.
A number of daily papers all over the country have been misrepresenting the speech of T. Thomas Fortune at the Press Convention at Philadelphia. He did not tell the Afro-Americans to arm against the whites. He said every householder ought to have a Winchester and defend his home to the death.
The destiny of every Afro-American in the North is identified with that of his Southern brother. If the Southern Democrats succeed in wrestling the franchise from the people of the race in the South, the same thing will be tried in the North.

Career.
There is no more interesting character among the numerous men thrust
suddenly into prominence by the presi-
sion of the 1896 than Charles
Gates Dawes, who has handed
resignation as Comproller of the Currency to the President, as a preliminary step toward entering the race for United States Senator in Illinois.
Dawes, 1896, was forty years old.
His short, stridely accented briefness lawyer to a national cam-
paign, molding a presidential campaign, and from this eminence taking charge of the national banking system of the country, was accomplished before he reached thirty-five years of age.
Born and educated in the wholesome atmosphere of the quiet college city of Marietta, Ohio, sprung from an an-empire "from among England, into the course of empire" from among England, into the Northwest territory, associated in boyhood with a family of surveyors, engineers, and railroad projectors, it is not strange that an instinct as well as a commercial adventure should have led to completing a course at the Cincinnati Law School, to the West to locate. His professional venture was made in the same field and as a neighbor with the firm of the former's aspirations followed the commercial trail, while the latter's scented politics. It has been said that Mr. Dawes entered the Comprtroner's office without permission, and this task. This is not true. He was early a student of commercial and financial

subjects. Before he had reached thirty he was attorney for several national banks, a director of one, and had written a book on national banking, which, barring a single confusion of the terms with that of the Comptroller of the Treasury (a common error), was a valuable and interesting book on the subject.
In the campaign of 1896 his suggestions made the basis for some strong literature in opposition to free silver. He went into office better equipped, maps, than many of his predecessors.
In Lincoln, Neb., Mr. Dawes combined law, real estate speculation, surveying, bookkeeping, and bank directing with more or less success until an investment in a gas plant at Evanston began. He had scarcely passed thirty when the McKinley campaign for the presidential nomination came on. He had resided in Evanston less than two years, but he remembered the future President as one of his father's colleagues in Congress, and one of his friends in the state's characteristic boldness in politics, challenged the friends of Senator Cullom in the Republican State organization, on their chosen ground, and defeated them. Every Congressional district in Cook County, except the Seventh District, was instructed for Cullom for President. But when that district held its convention there was a surprise. The State Republican organization

was routed and two McKinley detergents chosen—the first distinctively McKinley victory in that state. The result was pleasing to Mr. Hannah. Mr. Hannah was summoned to Coyleland and placed in charge of the campaign in Illinois. Then followed a series of brilliant victories, culminating at the State convention in the defeat of the State Republican organization, Cullom, and in resolutions indorning McKinley. The Illinois victory came at a time when its influence was al-

most decisive, or at least far-reaching, toward anticipating the St. Louis convention. All this was accomplished in the school of the results was little past thirty years, a citizen of the state. One of the results was to suggest the naming of Mr. Dawes on the national executive committee, where his bold initiative impressed the qualities impressed his colleagues, all of whom were older than himself.
"O SAY, HOW, YOU KNOW"
ENGLISH LANDLORD
National Ecumenical Council in London Meet of Their Paler Countrymen.—From St. Paul Dal
Mr. Dawes declined the place of secretary to the President, for he had cherished an ambition from the time he left college, born of a predilection for the arts, to become Comptroller of the Currency. In office, Mr. Dawes has become immensely popular personally. His is not a strenuous nature; his methods are deliberate, but his decisions are careful. He has executed the execution. He speaks, eats and walks slowly, laughs heartily, seldom or never worries, dresses in plain style, like a Fedora hat pulled low over his forehead, a big cigar with his draws in hand. He is not easily pressured less as if it was his first attempt. At his home on K street he surrounds himself in his hours of relaxation with a company of congenial politicos and businessmen, and they smoke and talk. He is the most popular host in Washington with the politicians. Mrs. Dawes is an unaffected little woman, with black hair and a blue shirt, a gentle gent of her husband and his politician friends. She seems to derive as much pleasure from seeing them comfortable as they take from their comfort in her home. The Comproller has two bright colors and a girl, just entering the school area.
A few stories will illustrate Mr. Dawes characteristics: When one of the largest trust companies in New York was organizing two years ago, Mr. Dawes received an offer of $25,000 a year to go as an

The executive committee of the Lincoln Republican National League, an Afro-American organization, at a recent meeting revolted the call for the annual convention, held on August 22 and 23, and all delegates to be notified. It then decided to convene the delegates in convention at a date in November to be fixed by a subsequent meeting. A resolution strongly condemning the behavior of the delegates in Ohio was unanimously adopted. The resolutions cite the fact that every policy of the Democracy of the South, as well as its national and international policies, is opposing the Republican ticket in Ohio was unanimously adopted.

The resolution further declared, that the republican party, the leader Liberties broader statemanship and broader national ideas, and the administration of President McKinley is strongly indorsed. It is declared to be without an equal since those of Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln and Grant.
WAS JEFF DAVIS SLAVE
(Continued From First Par.)
Mr. Montgomery speaks in the highest terms of Mrs. Davis and her life and of her husband, a consecrated Christian woman, he says, "Mrs. Davis is one. When she was at the place she would come out and spend hours talking over plans and spend hours planning what would he best for them."
After the close of the war, and the plantation had returned into the possession of the Davis family, Mr. Montgomery had been a man, and in this way his son had a valuable experience in learning to manage such a place. Later he decided that a colony of Afro-Americans had been established on his own self. He secured control of a large tract of land in the Yazoo river valley, and gradually built-up a community there which is prosperous and happy. He had several thousand acres of land there, and many of have comfortable homes. Mr. Montgomery was appointed mayor of the town, which they name Mound Bayou. They own a business in the business enterprises, and the place is increasing in size and prosperity constant, and at the same time is furnishing an object lesson to other Afro-Americans. If they will go about it in the same practical, common-sense way. The town has a good school, at the head of which is a graduate of Booker T. Washington's institute at Tuskegee, Ala.
Isaiah T. Montgomery represented his town and state at the session of the National Afro-American Business League in Boston last year, where the papers spoke of him as one of the most interesting speakers present.
TALKS OF SUING TILLMAN
Marinette, Wis., Aug. 17. -Attorneys Devney and Hutchinson have been retained by the Rev. M. A. Easton, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, of Doudt Hall, and Senator Tillman, for his address here recently against Afro-Americans and in favor of lynchings. The lawyers are now looking up the facts, and will begin action as soon as the papers can be drawn. He made at the Opera House last night he said that Tillman secured the office of United States Senator by murder and arson. He read editorial articles from many newspapers, and he asserted these assertions. Mr. Easton closed by saying that if every slaveholder before the war had received the punishment of hanging for assaults on black women there would have been no war. In the South would have been dead.

To the Editor.—A rather misleading paragraph has made its appearance in a number of the newspapers in the north to the effect that Mrs. Booker T. Washington was defeated for the presidency of Afro-American Women at the recent meeting held in Buffalo because of the fact that she, with her husband, attended a reception given by the Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo. It is learned that this statement is not true. Mrs. Washington was nominated against her protest and a few votes cast for the presidency, and was a strong and enthusiastic supporter of another for the position. The fact that Mrs. Washington was nominated against her protest and a few votes cast for the presidency, and was a strong and enthusiastic supporter of another for the position.

St Paul has Half of Minnesota Afro-Ameri can Population
In a recent issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the leading daily of Minnesota, the following article appeared: Minnesota, according to the statistics compiled by the United States census bureau, has an Afro-American population of 4,958. One-half of the Afro-Americans of the state live in St. Paul, or, in exact figures of the census, the
IN TH
Afr-American population of St. Paul is 2,303. Prominent St. Paul Afro-Americans claim that these figures are inaccurate. Authorities claim the Afro-American population of St. Paul is over 2,900. The Afro-American citizen of St. Paul is a man of substance, and his wife is generally refined, educated and resourceful. Forty-five per cent of the population is United States citizens, there not a city in the United States, where comparatively so few of the "common Negro." A larger percentage live in their own homes than in any other city in the country, and in no city in the United States is there so large a substantial and even elegant homes owned by Afro-Americans.
The St. Paul Afro-Americans besides being home builders and owners, are business men. Many of them, oversee life, have amassed a scramble of every day life, have organized tunes and scores of them enjoy competences. One of St. Paul's Afro-American citizens is reputed to be worth $200,000, and quite a number of them are involved more than $50,000. In the industrial life of St. Paul the Afro-American is found in nearly all of the avenues. The St. Paul Afro-American has succeeded in medicine, law, surgery, dentistry, photography, pedagogy, newspaper publishing, and the municipal and government service. He has a place in the police department, the municipal court, the fire department and the mail service. He has carried carriers to special clerks. He has filled them all with credit. A St. Paul Afro-American photographer was selected by the national government to tour the United States to prepare the government exhibit for the Paris exposition.
In the purely commercial lines, the Afro-American of St. Paul have embarked and succeeded admirably in the most diversified enterprises. Some of the best businesses in the best trade in the city and are among the finest establishments. After that the range of the Afro-American's business ventures in St. Paul grade from the manipulation of railroad and restaurant ownership of restaurants and saloons, to who hold salaried positions the range of employment is from railroad claim agents down. Five hundred Afro-American living in St. Paul are employed by the railroads centering in the city. The number of Afro-American as porters in charge of sleeping cars, which throws upon them the responsibilities of a conductor. And it is to this road that they assign much of the building of the city in a community that twenty years ago had almost no Afro-American.
The St. Paul'Afro-American is especially happy in his home and church life. Many of the Afro-American St. Paul's graduates of Fisk and Willowfield colleges greater number are graduates of the high schools; and a St. Paul girl is among the leaders of her class at the University of Minnesota. The lawless and dissolute element has been reduced to a few. Paul'Afro-American's social life embraces a degree of culture and refinement not equaled anywhere in America. He does not crave, but rather fears that he does not have their own clubs and social and fraternal organizations, and his successes in the fields of commerce and the professions are rapidly winning him the business standing necessary to put him on a common plan of competition with his fellow white fellow citizen.
In their churches they have set a high mask for their race throughout the civilized world. Three of their churches, the Episcopal, Methodist and Roman Catholics, are militant can ministers. The Afro-American Roman Catholics are ministered to by a white priest. Their churches are not encumbered with heavy debts, and the ministry in St. Paul has ever been so successful that has so frequently militated against the success of the race in other cities.
They that have learned of the Lord Jesus to be lowly and humble of heart, profit more by meditation and prayer reading and hearing. St. Augustine

"The annual address of President
Booker 'T. Washington on Wednesday,
at the opening of the League, was an
‘effort of unusual force and was fe-
ceived with applause by the large
gathering, We-make the following
extracts: *
“This is not a league of orators
but of workers. ‘The main portion of
the talking here will be done by those
who have actually succeeded in busi
ness and not by those who seek to
tell us what they: themselves have
{failed to do. I trust we shall never
make the mistake of overloading our
organization with useless and compl
cated machinery, nor in our delibera-
tions lose sight of the end for which
we assemble,
“Since our first meeting it has been
most gratifying to note the wide-
spread influence that this organiza-
tion has had among our people it all
parts of the country, resulting, as it
has, in, the starting of new business
enterprises in nearly all of the states
and in the establishment of ~local
business leagues in. scores of towns
and ‘cities.
“In the south,-as in most parts of
[the world, T note that the Afro-Ameri-
Jean who does something and posses-
jses something is respected by both
races. Usefulness in. the community
jin which we live will constitute our
‘most lasting and most potent protec-
ion,
“Let us never become discouraged.
The great white race in whose midst
we live did not reach its present
Dusiness position in a day. If our vis-
fon is clear, our will strong, we will
lise the very obstacles that often
seem to beset us as stepping stones
toa higher and more useful life.
“As a race we must learn more and
more that the opinion of the world re-
gating us 1s not much influenced by
‘what we say of ourselves, or by what
others say of us, but it is permanently
influenced by actual, tangible, visible
results, ‘The object lesson ‘of one
honest’ Afro-American succeeding mag-
nificently in each community in some
jusiness or industry is worth a hun-
red abstract. specchek in securing
opportunities for the race.
“In our enterprises let -us not be
loverambluons to” start at the top.
We must begin in.a small, simple
manner, at the. bottom. Better be-
‘sin Utele and grow big than the re-
vefse. We want to learn the lesson
of small things and small beginnings.
[We must not feel ourselves above the
most humble occupation or the sim-
ple and humble beginning. No race
lor individual can “succeed that does
not sacrifice today for tomorrow—
that does not plan this year/for the
next, Thoroughness, honesty, eff
clency are qualities that are univer-
‘sally recognized."

troller of the Currency is $5,000, with
$1,000 added as ex officio treasurer of
ihe Freedmen's fund, he declined.
Commenting afterward on this step, he
remarked: "I have determined when
Tleave -ais office not to go to the head
of a bank, as most of my predecessors
have done.” The Comptroller appoints
many men as recelvers, attorneys, etc,
whose salary is greater than his own,

years “ago, 8 flood of, applications
irom poilticlans poured “in. Call
ing the faithtul private ‘secretary,
‘Thomas F, Kane, who had been in the
department many years and was fa:
nniliar with the work of the office, Mr.
Dawes said: “Kane, T want to make
the new deputy by” promoting some
one in this offee, for merit. I'am go:
ing to name over the men and'I want
your opinion.”
Mr. ‘Kans’ spoke “highly but. truth:

When he had finished Mr. Dawes said
“Take a letter to. Secretary Gage.”
The Comptroller dictated as follows:
“Dear Sir: I hereby recommend for
appointment as deputy Comptroller of
the Curreney, viee L. 0, Murray, re-
signed, ‘Thomas F.’<ane—"
Kane paused in his shorthand. But
there waa no mistake,
“Kane was a good officer,” sald Mr,
Dawes tova friend, “and { never heard
him speak in jealousy or unkindness

Tt must be admitted, as insisted by
some politicians, tnat’ there 1s. not

there seems to be. something very
much akin to the spirit of elvl service

seom personal, had been an old school.

the head of his class in everything.
He held a desk and a routine job in
a large city when a, Dawes went Into
the Comptroller's omee. He was a
specialist of high rank, but in a groove.
One day, when Bishop had no special
reason to belleve that his old class-
mate, Dawes, was thinking of him, he
was. summoned to the Treasury ‘De-
partment.
“Thave a place for you at twice your
present. salary. Go” and resign at
once,” sald Mr. Dawes,
“But T cannot be of any assistance
to you politically.” he replied.
“Tdon't care about that. ‘The pub-
lle sorvice ‘needs men like you."
Bishop went. He has made a splen-
aid record. Saud Mr. Dawes, apropos
of Bishop: “That man always stood
at the head of his class. “He can beat
me in all the studies. He 1s one of
that large class of able men who some-
how don't. get true recognition. for
thelr talents” en
‘Another “iriend of former days”
was discovered superintending a build-
ing ina Western ety. He had stood
high atthe bar ana in business in
far Western elty, but the’ panle left
him stranded, and seeking his fortune
ina new locality he nally took the
superintendent's “position to sustain
his family. “Mr. Dawes recommended
him as aitorney to a receiver. In
three montha he dug out an authority
which revolutionized the practice of
recelvers and saved several thousands
to the trust. His official work over, he
became a useful member of large
commercial law firm in an Bastern
ay.
‘The strange thing about Mr. Dawes’
appolatmente is that the appointees
are scattered over the country far
away from Iinols, and only a few of
them can hope to. render. him any_po-
