Prosperous Southern Negroes.

Raleigh On. c. 0bserver.l
Even our own people sometime
make a mistake that is to say, look
ing at crowds Of idle negroes abou,
the public places Of our cities and
towns, they think and say that the
negroes don't work. 1t is all a mis-
take. Idle as they may be in the
towns there is no lack Of vigor or in
dustry in the country. There was "a
period Of DISCRIMINATION in the labor
system of the South. There was q
time when freedom meant to the negro
the right to be idle. But they have
been finding out that it can to
work. In the thirteen or fourteen
years hat have elapsed since the ter
minatiop Of the war, a half generation
has passed. The little boys Of four
teen years ago arc the stalwart work
crs of to-day, men who have grown up
accustomed to free work, and learning
gradually to respect their contracts
They have learned, too, the value Of
industry and steadlness as affootlng
wages. Largo numbers of negroes
own small farms, and cultivate small
crops Of cotton and many of these
mickles make a muckle. Let us all
think before we speak.

at their desks a sign reading that they

one day a withered-up old man entered
an Office, gazed stupidity around, and

He had a book under his arm and

directed to the sign, and after reading
it he turned away, saying:

time, and he didn't seem to hear the
