THE APPEAL takes pleasure in re-
producing an excellent article from
the Indianapolis News on the career
of Hon., Charles Gates Dawes, con-
troller Of the currency. In addition
to the many good things contained
in the article, we can say that Mr..
Dawes has always shown a decided
friendliness toward Afro-Americans.
He has done many things to assist
the race and is always ready to lend a
helping hand to any worthy Afro
American. He never pushes man to
the front solely on account of his
color, but if he finds that an Afro
American is we'll equipped and of
strict integrity, no man will go fur

then decided to convene the delegates

resolution strongly condemning the
course of certain Afro-Americans who
are opposing the Republican ticket in
Ohio was unanimously adopted. The
resolutions cite the fact that every poll.

further declared that the republican.

s Career. ,.; |iS35
There is no more interesting char
acter among the numerous men thrust
suddenly into prominence by the presi-
dental campaign of 1896 than Charles
Gates Dawes, who has handed his
resignation as Comptrolle of, the Cur
rency to the President, as a prelim-
mary step toward entering the race
for United States Senator in Illinois.
IS Mr.. Dawes is not yet forty years old.
His short stride from a beardless,
briefess lawyer to a national cam
acter, molding presidential cam
paign, and from this eminence taking
charge OF the national banking sys-
TEN OF the country, was accomplished
before he reached thirty-five years Of
age. & ..;S. I. &.
Born and educated in the wholesome
atmosphere Of the quiet college city
of Marietta, Ohio, sprung from an an
cestry that followed the course Of
empire from New England into the
Northwest territory, associated in boy
hood with family of surveyors, en-
gineers, and railroad projectors, it is
not strange that an instinct as well
as an acquired taste for commercial
adventure should have led him, upon
completing a course at the Cincinnati
Law School, to the West to locate.
His professional venture was made
in the same field and as neighbor
with William Jennings Bryan. But
the formers aspirations followed the
commercial trail, while the latter's
scented politics.
1t has been said that Mr.. Dawes en-
tered the Comptroner's Office without
special knowledge or training for the
task. This is not true He was early

Mr.. Montgomery speaks in the high
est terms of Mrs Davis and her life
ON the plantation. # there ever was
a. consecrated Christian woman he
says, Mrs Davis is one. When she
was at the place she would come out
and spend hours talking over plans
for the people and planning what
would be best for them -
After the close of the war, and the.
plantation had returned into the pos
session of the Davis family, Mr. Mont
gomery's father was hired as fore
man, and in this way his son had
valuable experience, in learning to
manage such place. Later he decid
ed that a colony of Afro-Americans
would do well in a place, by them
selves. He secured control of a. large
tract Of land in the Yazoo, river valley,
and gradually built up a community
there which is prosperous and happy.
The people now own. several thousand
acres OF land there, and many of them
have comfortable homes. Mr. Mont
gomery was appointed mayor of the
town, which they nameu Mound Bayou
There are several stores and other
business enterprises, and the place is
increasing in size and prosperity con-
stantly, and at the same time is fur
nishing an object lesson to- other Afro
Americans of what they also can do
if they will go about it in the same
practical, common-sense way The
town has a good school, at the head
of which is a. graduate: of Booker T.
