ces of culture, is the sovereign. Of the
world, the master of his own. DESTINY
and related to the infinite power of God.
There is nothing in the whole realm Of
civilization that is of value except mans
intelligence. Take such names as~Hom..
or, Plato Socrates and Phideas out of
the Grecian history and who cares for
the Greeks. Such names stand as per.
petual monuments of the power of hum.
an intelligence to charm the world CT
mankind. So with all the races of the
earth. If you would know what race
stands for, you ask not for it's men of
arms or of wealth but for the men of
superior intelligence. I know Italy on
ly through it's great artists, poets and
philosophers. Mount Vesuvius, the
Bay OF Naples and Rome; its serene skys
mean nothing without the names repre-.
senting the intelligence of the nation.
Then another thingl that our young
people in the South arel not apt to know
OF is that all kinds of success in the
Northern states is so hedged about and
conditioned by combinations, compac!s
and federations of interests that thou
sands OF white men az we'll as Afro Ame-
rican men find themselves stranded and
hopeless. In that Northern country
individuality counts for less than it does
here where associated interests have not
been so fer developed. Thousands of
our young Afro.American men in all
Northern states fully equipped by the
right kind of qualifications for all kinds
Of work are wasted in the fruitless aim
to get employment suited to their in
telligence. I am sorryito admit that
neither the trades nor the business in.
terests or even the ordinary labor are
favorable to our employment. The
young men and women who have won
places for themselves owe their successes
more to good fortune than to their
merits. Getting employment for our
young men and women in Northern
states is one of the most serious prob.
lens in our existence. The fierce COM
petition for place aud position amony
the white foreigners and nstive Ameri.
cans who swarm every city and com.
munity where their is work and business
to be done overwhelm all our efforts to
be considered in the struggle for life.

do not wish to be understood in my ad-

Let US have all of these advantages, for

education solve the problem? Will edu-
cation, even of the right kind, make the
world respect US in spite of our dark
compilations? Can prejudice and mis-.
trust and contempt be overcome by in
telligence, by possessions and worth, on
the part of men and women of the dark
complexion? Can we become sufficient

men great to such degree as, to. over.

Fatal Shooting Accident.

George, the seventeen-year-old son of
Nicholas Berkey, whose pretty home is
located just south of this place, died at S
o'clock Monday morning from the effects
of gun shot wound accidently received
while hunting.
Saturday morning young Berkey and n
companion-Dorsie, the siXteen-year-old
son of Charles +. Rhoads, Of Somerset
started hunting. About eleven o'clock
they were walking through the woods
back of John Weller's. on the Centreyille
road. Rhoads was four or five feet be-
hind Berkey and was carrying his gun in
his hand when the weapon accidently
exploded, and the contents entering the
calf of the iatter's left leg, tore the flesh
almost from the bone. SO close was the
muzzle Of Rhoads' gun to Berkey's leg
that the wads and bits of clothing were
embedded in the flesh and the charge of
shot crushed the flesh to pulp. Rhoads
attempted TO carry his wounded compan-
ion, but was so agitated that he was un-
able to assist him more than few yards
when he left him and ran To Weller's aud
told them of the accident. Mr.. Weller
went to he scene ofthe shooting and car
ried the wounded lad to his home while
Rhoads FASTENED to town for medical as
sistance. Before DIR. kimmel arrived
BeTkey removed his shoe and stocking
and when the ghastly wound was reveal
ed ne swooned from shock. After the
flow of blood had been checked and the
wound dressed the injured boy was re-
moved To his fathers home. Sunday
morning it was thought that amputation
would have to be resorted 10 to save the
young mans life, but upon examination
il WAS found that his physical condition
was too weak to Withstand the operation.
Blood poisoning had already set in. The
unfortunate victim fingered in an uncon-
scious condition until death came TO his
relief
Dorsie Rhoads, who is half-crazed with
grief over the death of his friend and the
part he played in the fatal catastrophe,
says that he was carrying his gun with
both hammers drawn back when his foot
caught in a root of q tree and he fell for
ward to the ground. One barrel of the
gun was discharged when he fell.
The funeral took place at four o'clock
Monday afternoon. when interment was
made at Metzler's Church.
