THE cOLoRED AMERICAN

1t IS a pleasure to note the ca
reer of Prof. Council and of the
few other men who have reached
similar altitude, attained by sound
scholarship, superimposed upon
native integrity and all the manly
qualities. Truly he is lamp to
our feet, a never failing argument
for the races highest civilization
and achievements. In all the edu-
cat1Onal centers of this country
and Europe, he has spoken with
fine effect. He is constantly
sought for and perhaps no other
living man has 50 superb a reputa-
ton as a public speaker or is gift
ed with such winning manners
and such accurate learning. Prof.
Council belongs to that great
galaxy Of distinguished Negroes
who are in a class by themselves,
men like Frederick Douglass,
Alexander Crunrnell and Booker
I. Washington, who would have
been great within any environ
ment.
His views have not always been
popular, but like Prof. Washing
ton, he has always been right.
The difficulty has been in the de-
ficiency of public intelligence. AS
our people have progressed and
learned to know his purposes and
plans they have come to perceive
that his methods are the best con-
|tributions towards the settlement
of the veXed problems of the
Southland towards the growth of
the American Negro to the full
stature of manhood and self-re-
|SpeCt.

that we meant business. We ac-
cepted these overtures In the in
terest of harmony and peace. If
our object had been otherwise,
we could have stirred up hor-
nets nest and hurt somebody's
feelings, by rejecting some of the
propositions made to us and Civ
ing our reasons therefor. A fur
ther attempt by anonymous cor
respondents to place us IN the at
titude of beggars and kickers may
result in the telling of the whole
story, which led to our coalition
with the Afro-Anerican Council
and which will be supported by
affidavits. The truth hurts no
man, but malicious lies should be
refuted and disproved. The n.
n. S. A. will not brook this sort
OF misrepresentation.

E. E. COOPER, Esq,
SIR:-Whoever wrote the re-
port of the Afro-American Coun-
ell meeting, as published on the
front page of the American, for
July 18th, is greatly in error, as to
many things concerning the Ma
tional Negro Suffrage Associa-
ton and its attitude toward the
Council. This Association went
to Louisville to hold Convention.
On reaching there, it found the
Afro-American Council in Con-
vention and it decided that since
both organizations were opposed
to Southern disfranchisement, a
stronger fight could be made
through combination. The New
York delegation did not object to
the payment of the S. entrance

fee. Objection was made on be-
half of some of the poorer mem
bers from other delegations, who
had spent large sums to reach
Louisville, and the objection was
sustained. Our Association did
not go to Louisville to antagonize
the Council; neither did it refuse
to enter the Council; neither did it
elect officers the next morning af-
ter the meeting at True Reform
er's Hall. 1t did adopt Consti-

Prof. w. II. Council
COnValeSCing.

cal College, at Normal, Alabama,
who has been quite i'll, is rapidly
convalescing and will soon be in
his usual fine form. The news is
gratifying in many ways. In the
largest sense the race has present
need for all her strongest and
best equipped sons and in the
ranks of the cultured, Prof. Coun-
Gill holds eminent place. He can
not be spared in the struggle
which is now on for the very life
of our people. Then, too, the
Professors place as an educator
could not be easily filled. He has
made his mark and has stamped
his individuality upon the history
of the country and of his race.
to him and then for the short
told. He was born a slave in
North Carolina in I848 and en-
countered all of the vicissitudes Of
slave life Not until 1865 did the
opportunity to attend school come
to him and then for the short
period of three years only was he
permitted to enjoy the privilege
This was the extent of his exper-
ienCe in school, but his essential
manhood and earnestness of pur-
pose brOOked no barriers submit
ted to no disasters. His ambi-
ton was for learning, for the
higher culture and slowly, but
surely both were acquired with
but little instruction from others.
Prof. Council has made excur-
siOns into politics and literary
fields and also in newspaper ven
lures, with sufficient brilliaicy to
justify the belief that either was
his natural place of usefulness,
but he did not tarry long in either.
His reael place was waiting for
him. The crying need of his race
for education and for develop
ment appealed to him and re-
spending to the demand, he es-
tabllshed the great school at Nor
NAL, Alabama, of which he is now
and has been for more than a
quarter of a century, the Presi-
dent. He is not the titular head
only, of this institution. it should
be remarked for he has made his
own culture and methods felt in
every impuse of the schools ac-
tiYity. He is himself the best OBJ
ject lesson to his pupils-the very
highest possible exponent of our
peoples possibilities. The school
at Normal is his monument. If
he does no more, his race must
ever hold him in grateful memory
for this one great achievement,
this one incalculable service. But
Prof. Councill's unselfshness is
not restricted to- the pedagogic
profession. He is an instructor
IN the highest sense. His voice is
heard on all public questions af-
teCtlng his people and it ever rings

Wilson's broad face.


Then they are still open to accept
their offer to me?'
Miller laughed as if highly amused at
the complication of the matter
They are bound, you remember, on
ly SO long as you hold their note''
Then l tell you what to do pro-
posed Wilson. Go back and tell them
| not to bother about payment for q few
days, anyway, and that we will soon
tell them positively whether we will
pay their price or not. That's fair,
isn't it?''
1T might seem so to a man person
ally interested in the deal" admitted
Miller as the introduction to another
of his blows from the shoulder. but
as lawyer for my clients | can only
obey orders, like the boy who stood on
the burning deck"
Wilson's face fell. The remote click
ing Of the typewriter seemed to CRATE
upon his high wrought nerves, and he
went and slammed the partly opened
door, muttering something like an oath.
On that slight journey, however, he
caught an idea.
Suppose you wire them my propo-
sition and wait here for reply he
suggested.
Miller frowned. THAT would do no
good" he said. I'm sorry l can't ex-
plain fully, but the truth is this: hap
pen to know that they wish for rea-
sons of their own to take up the note
you hold and that nothing else will suit
them"
At this juncture Wilson lost his grip
on all self possession and degenerated
into the sullen anger of sharp and I'M
expected disappointment.
Il don't feel that we are being fairly
treated" he said. I'VE most naturally
assumed that your clients wanted to-
to extend our option on the property
for at least another six months. We
assumed that from the fact that we
had no notification from them that
they would be ready to pay the note
today. That's where we feel injured
Mr.. Miller"
Rayburn threw his cigar into q Gus
pidOr. His attitude of being a nonin-
terested agent was simply stroke of
genius. Behind this plea he crouched
showing himself only to fire shots that
played havoc with whatever they
struck.
Il believe my clients did feel l may
say, honor bound to you to sell for the
price they offered, but-now l may be
der the impression, as was, too, that
you only wanted the property provided
YOU could build railroad from barley
to it, and
"Well, that's true" broke in Wilson.
That's quite true"
And" finished Miller. still behind
his inevitable fertilization, they tell
me that you have certainly shown IN
difference to the project ever since the
note was given. In fact, they askeI
me pointedly if l thought you meant
business, and | was forced cOnsclen-
tiously to tell them that l thought you
seemed to have other fish to fry"
Wilson glared at the lawyer as if he
wanted to kick him for stupid idiot
who could not do two things at once
work for the interests of his clients and
not wreck his plans also. 1t had been
a long time since he had found himself
in such a hot frying pan.

said desperately, probably recalling
