speakers and bis happy speeches added
much to the interest OF the meeting.
MIR. L. g. Bailey, banker, inventor and
business man and treasurer of the

introduced and spoke on the ''Negro

out notes and attempted DO flights on
the wings of orstory, but gave plain,
practical, common sense. right from
the shoulder talk, that was replete with
solid wisdom and good advice. He gave
a little of the history OF the inception
of his ''baby" az he calls the Capital
Savings Bank, and said that it had been
the hope of its founders that the Ne
groes of the District would average
deposit OF at least 81 10 per month.

tai of $4,000 month, and with this

of the Negro in the District. financially.
socially and in business, would have
been revolutionized long ere this. He
said that the colored teachers Of the
District spend $50. 600 a yssr with the
white dry good merchants, and yet no
representation is given our race as
saleswomen or sslesmen. II these
teachers would combine and go to one
of the merchants and say to him. I'VE
spend S5O,O 900 year and will spend it
with you II you will putrepresentatlves
of our race behind your counters"
And, said the speaker, he would do it,
though every white clerk in the estab'
I,shment should leave. He counselled
getting together, advised cultiyating
the saving habit, appealed to the peo-
nle to start accounts with the Capital
Savings Bank of at least on dollar per
month. and he said before long our peo.
nle would be able to get out of the al
levs and byways and live in houses of
their own on the front streets. The

the Negro as grocer. Mr.. Marshall
said that he did not see how a grocer
could say in tea minutes what needed
to be said on the subject, when he had
to talk five minutes to sell loaf Of
bread. He said that three dollars out of
every five dollars that came In over his
counter, came from his white custo'
mers, That the white people patronized
him because they were not embarrassed
Ia coming to small place to buy small
quantities. That the colered people
did not patronize him because they
wanted to be seen In big places where
they could not afford 10 60, and really
had no business. But he spoke of the
