DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry, agent for the

The clipping quoted is from the En-

colored man, in the interest of coored

that he was great and good man
And we may add he was a substantial,

better and a truer friend of the Negro
than Teddy Roosevelt, or Crumpackcr
or Dr. Parkhurst and all the bowling,
sanctimonious hypocrites at the North
who pretend to love the niger. The
Peabody educational fund is the great
gift of George Peabody, who, unlike
Carnegie, distributed his millions for the
sake of humanity and not to advertise

the Negro will reach the full sense of
realization that his friends are not those
who, like Teddy, would use them as
cats paws to pull political chestnuts from
the red-h furnace The Negro can have
no better friend than the Southern white
man, whose feeling for him is knd1ier
than was ever Or can ever be entertained
by the Write men at the North who sim
ply have theoretical, superficial idea
of his nature and His condition, his
weakness and his virtues In the South
no negro can starve or die from want.
He is offered every reasonable oppor-
tu1lity for advancement and he is pro-
vided with public schools in which to
educate his children. The Negro can
have no better, kindiicr friend than the
Southern white man, with whom he
played and fshed and hunted when they
were boys.
