WASHINGTON'S ELOQUENCE.
BriIliantS From his Address at the Opening
Session of the National Negro Business
League in Boston.
Mr.. " ashingtOn said:

stand 1t, is TO bring together annually
various branches Of business, from the
humblest tothe highest, for the purpose
OF closer personal acquaintance, Of re
ceiving encouragement ins piration and
information from each other The other
object is TO originate plans by whic b
local business organizations will be
formed In all parts of our country, where
such organizations can be made to
serve the best interest Of the race.
This organization Goes not overlook
the fact that more material possessions
are not, and should not be made tie
chief end OF life, but should be used as
8 means of aiding us not be made the
chief end OF life, but hJuld be used as
q means of aiding Us III securing our
rightful place as citizens, and of en-.
iarging our opportunities for securing
that education aud development which
enhances our usefulness, and produces
that tenderness and goodness of heert
which will make us live for the benefit
OF our fellow men, aud for the pro.
N )tIon of our cOuntry's highest welfare.
have faith In the tImeliness of this
organization. AS have noted the con.
ditIons OF our people in nearly every
part OF our country, I have always
been encouraged by the fact that almost
without exception, whether in the
North or in the South, wherever have
seen black man who was Succeeding
In his business, who vas q taxpayer,
and who possessed intelligence and high
character, that individuals was treated
with the highest pect by the mem
bers of the white race. In proportion as
we can multiply these examples North
and South will our problem be solved
Let every Negro strive to become the
most useful and indispensable man in
his community. A useless, shiftless, Idle
class is menace and danger TO any
community. " hen an individual pro.
duees what the world wants, whether
it is product Of hand, head or heart,
The world does not stop long to inquire
what is the color Of the skin OF the pro.
ducer.
This meetiog will prove a great en-.
couragement TO our people in all parts
OF our country, bringing together as
it does the men al women of our race
who have been most success sful in life.
The most humble black boy will be
made TO feel that what you have done he
eau do also.
want to congratulate you upon the
fact that 80 wears after our freedom, so
large body of representative business
men aud women OF our race have as.
sembled in the city Of Boston, a city
dear to every Negro in all parts of our
land. l want TO congratulate you that
we find ourselves in the home of Garri'
son, Phillips, Shaw and George l..
Stearns, and host Of others, ar [ be.
lieve that in this sacred soil, guided
and encouraged by the memory of those
who have lived and died for us, we shall
form an organization which Will prove
potential in the lifting up of the race in
all parts OF or country. No matter by
what conditions We may find our
selves surrounded, may we ever keep

SiStin that the other bar dance arounC
and roll over wiz, nim. One was drunk
and jolly and the other sober and mad,
and the way they carried on was as
good as circus. Next day both bars
showed up fur whisky and went off as
jolly as you please. and half an hour
later l walked right up to them as
they slept and SnOred. l wasn't fur
givin away any mo- Ticker. but the
ole woman thinks it over and says:
'Zeb. the fur of them bars won't be

the rest of the summer? | reckon we

and we put out hull quart of whisky

left the nayburhoOd. The old woman

case our plan worked. and l poured
two full quarts Of whisky into the pan
and set 1t out in the old place. Them

in sober fur so long that they was
dyin fur a spree. and they Tapped up
every drop Of that Hcker and licked

to pick fuss with each other. Mebbe

trial corporations to attend this gath
ering, the object being to assemble
here all the vital forces that enter
into the industrial or business life of
the South.
The purpose of the convention is
to promote union of sentiment and
effort, for the industrial upbuilding of
the South. 1t is sought through such
an assemblage to secure policy that
will induce the South to manufacture
her own raw materials, on her own
soil and by her own people. 1t has
no selfish ends to serve, no private
interests to advance; neither has it
any class to benefit or antagonize,
but through this agency to reach
public sentiment for the advancement
of all interests and the protection of
all classes throughout our fair land.
We believe no stronger obligation
rests upon the citizen at this time,
than to-seek the fulfllment of these
ends and purposes. We feel that
this should be brought home to all
as a duty they owe to their country
and posterity, for in no other way,
nor through any other policy can the
people of the South hope to reach
those greater possibilities that lie be-
fore them, or secure: those higher
sttainments awaiting them on every
hand. ';.-.' =. - 80
To any and all interested in, or in
sympathy with, these aims and pur-
poses, or any of the subjects found
in the accompanying program, the
invitation is most cordially extended
to come to this convention and par
ticipate in its proceedings, A New
Orleans welcome awaits all who at
tend!
The railroads have been applied 20
for a round trip rate Of one fare
from all points controlled by South
ern roads, and it is believed this will
be granted. In any event, all who
intend coming should apply at once
to their nearest railroad agent for
rate and conditions and govern
themselves accordingly.

one day and acted in a mighty Gurus

continued to hang around the place
the old woman poured about a pint of
the stuff into a pan and set it on a

Sick-pOison is a poison which makes
you sick. It comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food.
The blood gets it and taints the whole

/ The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick-pOison out of.
