If the Birmingham Age Herald
will ask a few of the managers of
great industries in its vicinity it will
learn something about the value of
negro labor in the industries Of North
Alabama. Its generalizations on the
subject are Of no account. The fact
is that but for the industry Of the
negro, the South would not now be
much, iudustrially speaking. As
between him and Southern white
labor or imported white labor the
negro is preferable, and the intelli,
gent managers Of Southern manu-
factories generally understand this.

Just now John L. Sullivan is the
proudest man that steps on this conti-

has carried him triumphantly through a
severe ordeal, and he firmly believes
that in physical sense he stands with

1t is we'll while Mr.. Sullivan occupies

consider this matter of physical culture

A shock of paralysis made him au utter

Some such fate is perhaps in store for

on the President several times, snd
on each occasion he fr, ely expressed
himself on matters pertaining to the
colored race, and they do not hest
tate to affirm that his views upon
that subject are fair and just, and
will commend him to the approbati n
of the colored people throughout the
country The last time they called
on him was on Wednesday, when
they presented the addr, IS recently
adopted by the conference Of color ed
men held at jackson, Miss, on June
13. That address, among other
things, declares: "That Mr.. Harri
son is President, not Of one section,
but of the whole country, not Of one
race, but of the whole country, not
of one race, but Of all races of which
our citizenship is composed. His
ambition is to destroy rather than
promote race prejudice and sectional
apimosity." The President assured
the delegation that his own position
upon that subject could not have
been more accurately and correctly
stated. Colored men, he declared
should, not ask to be appointed to
office on account of their color, nor
should their color be ground for OBJ
lection. In view Of all these facts iC
is the opinion of Messrs. Lynch and
Bruce that if the colered people will
only be ratient and confde in the
President. they will not be disap-
pointed in their just and reasonable
expectations.
