wAsHINGToN's ADVICE TO NEGROES
President of Tustegee Institute
Thinks They Better BE Democrats.

Booker T. Washington, president of the
Tuskegee Normal and Collegiate Institute,
and perhaps the most widely known colored
man in the United States, answering the
request of a prominent colored man in
North Carolina as to what should be done
to allay the present conflict between the
races" says:
y have been asking myself lately some
rather serious questions, and l want to put
one or two of them to you. Is there any
reason why the negroes in the south should
continue to oppose the southern white man
and his politics? Is this not the source of
nearly all our troubles?
"Unconsciously we seem to have gotten
the idea into our blood and bones that We
are only acting in a manly way when We
oppose southern white men with our votes.
in some way, by some method, We must
bring the race to the point where ii will
cease to feel that the only way for it to
succeed is to oppose everything suggest ted
or put forth by the southern white men.
This / consider one of our real problems.
l believe that there are thousands of white
democrats in North Carolina who are 80
per cent better friends to the negro than
Governor Russell. l see no necessity in
continuing to follow Governor Russell, who
has no power to protect, or if he has the
power does not exercise it, rather than
these other white men who can protect us
if we cease continually and forever TO ep-
pose them"

NATIONAL AID ESSENTIAL.
Southern CoIOred People Need Prim-
ary Agricultural Training.

Rev Pitt Dillingham;, principal of the
Calhoun (Ala-) Colored School, appeared
before the industrial commission Saturday
afternoon and spoke of conditions of labor
in the black belt.
He had been living for several years in
Lowndes county, Ala About the Calhoun
School are seventy colored men, who are
paying fer ffty-acre farms on the Install
ment plan. The school gives agricultural
training to the men and domestic training
to the girls In Lowndes county alone there
are Is coo colored and only 1000 whites.
The homes, farms, schools and churches
of I.owndes county, he said. were such only
in name The school, held in tumble
down log cabin, presided over three months
in the year by a politician who could not
count his bales of cotton, could not be re
garled as d school in reality. me great
need of the black belt was agricultural ed
ucation, to lift the people into a better con-
dition of life, and in order to do this, he
thought national aid was necessary
The crop mortgage system had been IN
troduced in the black belt, and it was re-
garded at the time as an advance over
former conditions, but il is now operating
injuriously to the people. The remedy was
to get the coiored people TO own their
homes and 10 teach them how 10 cultivate
treir farms The creCit system was gen
Ell al and Mr.. Dilling ham suggested that the
commission make a special investigation of
conditions there. The ordinary public
schools he declared. did not effect what 1t
was desired TO accomplish among these peo-
pie What they really needed was primary
AGRICULTURAL training.
About S1U0HO. he said. had been contrib
uted by people of the north for the support
of the Calhoun School. and some southern
men were showing friendliness toward the
educational movement. But the great needs
OF the south could be met only by national
aid,
