pleted his course. When a call came
three months before his graduation for
a teacher and Negro Conference Or
ganizer for the SchOfield School, at
Aiken, South Carolina, Mr.. Fisher was
sent to take the position. One year
later he was called to be Assistant Nor
thern agent for the Tuskegee Institute.
The SchOfield School paid a tribute to
his work by Immediately offering to
meet any salary offered him by anyone
else. He decided to take the northern
work; and not only did he start a
stream of money towards Tuskegee,
but he at once took rank as an effec-
tive speaker before the critical audi
ences of the East. Three months after
Mr.. Fisher went North, Miss Caroline
B. Hazard, President of Wellesley Col
lege, Massachusetts, an institGtIon for
white women, wrote Principal Wash
ington as follows:
Il cannot fOrbear sending you line

During the two yers he remained IN
the North, the letters to Mr.. Wash1ng-
ton, and the references of such papers
as the New York Sun, Times, Tribune,
the Philadelphia Press, North Amerl-
can, and Ledger, concerning him were
highly flattering.
Upon his own request Mr.. Fisher
was then transferred to the southern
field. and was made Negro Conference
Agent for Tuskegee, in Alabama. He
had been engaged in this work but
few months when the Board of Edu-
cation of Montgomery, Alabama, selec-
ted him as Principal of the Swayne

filth Year-A Product Of 5be South

1t has long been the fashion for per
sons who seek to disparage the value
of the training given at the Tuskegee
Institute, to asert that the graduates
of that school, succeed very well in
positions which require no great
amount of mind culture, but that the
Tuskegee man is an impOssibility in
the higher places of which honor and
remuneration whicn wait on valuable
service are the rewards. 1t is not the
purpose of this article to discuss the
motives of those who father the state
ments; but rather to point to a living
example of TuSkegee upon the life of
one young man. The big prizes in the
various fields of human endeavor are
won only by the few who do their work
exceptionally we'll; and the records of
the oldest institutions in this country
show that from the great lists of their
graduates, respectively, only a few
names may be taken TO represent those
who have been successful in forcing
recognition at the hands of their
fellows Tuskegee is no exception to
this rule; but according to the, sneers
which are often predicated of it's work,
1t has no right to produce any char
acter who has taken one of the big
prizes.
Ten years ago boy no better and no
verse than the average city lad, reach
ed the Tuskegee Institute from Vicks-
burg, Mississippi. He was like hun
dreds of other boys who go to that
school, without means to pay for his
education; and so he was compelled to
enter the night school; but he was
willing to work, and had no choice as
ne kiRd of work to be assigned
him. Very soon he began tO attract
the attention of the faculty; not only
by his studiOus habits and general
earnestness, but by his ability as a
speaker as well. Some impromptu re-
marks made by him in one of the week

to Bis hop Hood.

Ft. Assiniboine, Mont, Special-If
the report of the speech recently de-
livered by one, Rev. William H Nit
chel, of South Carolina, in a leading
New York Church, is true, we regret
to say that he has made serious
blunder, if not sad mistake. He has
probably uttered words that will
finally undo the making of the man.
Among the many startling things he
is quoted as saying, is the following:
''The Negro mothers are a low lot,
etc.
The above may apply to Rev. Nit
chefs own especial case and surround
ings but of that we know nothing.
Be that as it will or may, the case
does not warrant a sufficient excuse.
A Cody gentleman of cslor has risen
before an audience of the select and
has degraded, berated and villified the
mothers of struggling and God-fear-
ing race that has tens of thousands OF
mothers of whom the said gentleman
knows nothing!
If the Rev. Mitchell plead guilty to
the authorship of such remark, he
is unworthy of his title. He is un-
worthy of a mans garments. He

guardianship Of the state line of South

Rev. Mitchell, and SANDER not your
women. Honor thy mother, for though
she go down in disgrace, she will shed
a tear for you when you are dying.
In the sad, red glow of life's fading
day, Jesus Chrlst's sympathies went
out for his mother. Though her head
was bowed in grief and tears, his last
words to her were words Of 1anliness
such as should always be spoken OF
those who sorrowed that we might
see the light of day. We see no ac-
count where Christ ever belittled the
mothers of his time, but we read or
where he cautioned the errIng woman
to go and sin no more.
Rev. Mitchell, go lift up the fallen,
counsel the erring one and do not
make bridge of the weak over which
you can stride into power and position
Remember that in all ages and among
all people, deep regard for the fair
name of woman has been considered
of true courage, knight
hood and chivalry.
