growths of ignorance. There can be no
differentiation along color lines be-
tween the uneducated masses. The ig'
nerant lower strata in any state, no
matter what the race, will clash, early
and often, for intelligence is essential to
generosity of judgment and to that
calm, tolerant demeanor that settles
trouble by other than physical force.
The better element of whites and blacks
live in amity and concord-the result
of scholarship and spiritual elevation.
So, it is easy to be seen, that in any
scheme for the reduction of illiterecy,
the white maj must be considered in
just as serious a vein ss the black. At
the ballot box both should be required
to establish identical qualifications.

that the institution was embarrassed,

out of suit fer the appointment of q

was due him and unpaid. The repre-
sentation was made that The building
association and the bank were identi-
cal concerns and therefore jointly liza

The breeze blew over as soon as it
developed that the bank and associa-

that the com claimant had not 30 much

the amount, alleged to be due him by
the Association. An authoritative
statement to this effect, given out by
the banks directors, through Secretary
Robert 81. Terrell, has quieted all fears
as to the banks stability and the nor
NAL condition of absolute confidence
has been restored.
