annual session of fhe Tuskegee Negro
Conference opened to-day. The at
tendance was large. Professor Booker
L. Washington in his welcoming adj
dress warned the negroes against en-
slave pension agents and emigra-
ton agents.
AT the afternoon session, declarations
reading in Dart as follows were pass
ed:
I'VE desire to reaffirm that we have
advised in previous years that while
not overlooking our rights as citizens,
1t should still be our main concern to
use our energy in continuing to Sc
cure homes, better schools, a higher
degree of skill and Christian charac-
ter. and in the practice of industry
and economy. We believe the race is
making slow but sure progress, and we
are glad to note that the growing In
terests of the best Southern white peo-
pie In our elevation Is shown by the
various conferences held by them for
the discussion of the race problem. We
would call attention to the fact that
our people charged with crime and in
southern prisons have as rule little
or no educa ton, and are largely with
out industrial and moral training. We
urge all to become taxpayers and to
promptly pay their taxes; to keen out
of the courts, to cease loainC on the
streets In public places and to prepare
to do we'll the work which the hest
interests of the community de-
mand"
