4 a negro born a slave in. Alabama,
and his masters chattel until early
manhood, is the wealthiest man in
Guatemala, and one of the multimil-
,,ionaires of the day. His name is
Knight, although travellers in Guat-
emala would scarcely know it by the
familiar Spanish cognomen-Don Juan
knight. The late President Barrios,
of Guatemala, estimated his friend
knights riches at over $4,000 His
annual income from his vast tracts
of coffee fincas, his gold mines, his
enormous banana plantations and his
tarms of vanilla beans, his banking
and steamboat stocks, besides the
debts interest on money that Guate-
mala borrowed from him is over $780,
900. He lives in a beautiful home in
the suburbs of Guatemala City, and is
ceaselessly busy looking after his i'm
mense estates
The life of Juan Knight reads like a
|chapter from .The Arabian Knights"
this story of how poor black boy
rose. step by step, from slavery to a
4 millionaiiTds place. Knight never
knew his father because his parents
were separated at sale of slaves sew
eral months before he was born. His
mother was mulatto, the property of
a tobacco grower, Daniel Upton, who
lived in Dadeville, Tallapoosa county,
ALA. Upton was scholarly man, and
his wife was former school teacher.
They had half a dozen slaves, all Of
whom had been treated well. knight
was born on the plantation one spring
morning in 1874 or 1845. Mrs. Upton
gave the negro child sufficient lessons
to get him started on childish studies
by himself. Later Mr. Upton also be-
came interested in little BLACK John
and provided him with common school
books.
AT about 16 John knight was the
most promising negro in Tallapoosa
county. Mr.. Upton died in 1860, and
the smart black boy was auctioned off
to new master, who took him to a
cotton plantation in Central Alabama.
The master entered the Confederate
army. Young black John became the
Overseer of part of the plantation.
For four years he superintendent the
the gathering of the cotton and its
shipments to New Orleans at the best
market prices until the close of the
war
Then he walked to New Orleans and
worked as wharf laborer for q firm
which handled fruits from Central
America. He saved his money. In 1866
hee was sent by his employer to Yucca

as boss of the packing and shipping
of fruits to New Orleans. That was
practically the beginning Of john
