To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l noticed in The STAR an interview with
Prof Gregory in relation to his visit to Cleve-
land, Ohio, wherein he speaks of the colored
people reversing tho order Of thing. that, in
stead Of being only walters, BARRIERS and
porters, they were engaged in the professions
and rs drivers and conductors of street cars
Also he noticed colored men employed as day
laborers on the railroads In August Uncle
Sam thought that my valuable services could be
dispensed with in estimating the number of bales
of cotton per acre &C., in the census Office
OF course, l accepted the inevitable, but
could not sit idle and want for living SO
when a porter's place was given me on a run
to Montgomery, Ala, l accepted it II Prof.
Gregory was surprised at the advancement Of
the negro in Cleveland, Ohio, the leading state
Of the west in culture, refinement and edu-
cational facilities what must /. who have con-
stantly heard of the shiftlessness Of
the negro in the south, have beer to
see them acting Oh the railroads in

masons, bricklayers ard plasterers. While in
Atlanta saw stores owned and run by the
negro, that none i'll Washington. owned by the

evidence Of thrift and desire for improve
ment can be seen on all sides. speak adj
visedly. The cabins of the people are better
than those in some parts Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. In the little towns along the road the
people appeared to be well dressed and neat
and there were very few ragamuffins. do not

brother, but to bestow . few words Of praise
