ing, and the attendance was not as
large as at some of the previous meet
ings, although there were about 100

pleasant for those who were there,
and the usual program was carried
out. There was a ball game and 9TH
er athletic sports, with boating and
fishing for those who enjoy those
forms of diversion. The older men,

the dinner hour, when all gathered
in the pavilion, proved one of the
pleasant features of the occasion. An

No Deportation for Them.

Professor r. R. Wright, (colcred) presi-
dent of the state industrial college of
Georgia, in his address on Emancipation
day at Selma, Ala, reviewing the APP
parently hopeless condition of the negro
under slavery, traced the progress of the
race in the south through the reconstruc-
ton and later period to the present time,
when negro farmers own and operate
746,7 III farms, aggregating 1928. 93S acres,
worth about $500, 1000, and returning q
net profit of $241,346,5 72 annually. They
have reduced negro illiteracy so per cent

erty, and are paying millions in taxes fol
their own education.
Professor Wright expressed the BELIEF
that such showing looks as if the negro
has a valuable stake in this country an6
he suggests that it makes the talk Of
deporting the American negro to the Phil.
ippines or Africa somewhat ridiculous.

after the parade had been going on about
an hour, whispered to Colonel Lamont
who had just come on the stand, that in
view of the temperature, the president
might like to fortify himself with little
something.

a room just OFF the stand. The mayor set
out and filed three glasses with good old
red liquor calculated to kill the effects OF
the chilliest temperatures. The presi-
dent counted the glasses and then the
people in the room. There were him

raised it tot his lips. said: Dan don't

Opportunities Not All Gone.

Young men are apt to think that their
opportunities are much more restricted
than were their fathers, when the whole
American west was being won to clvili-
zation and settlement, and thousand
now prosperous towns and cities were
only in embryo, If existent at all. 1t
stands to reason, they say, that in such
a revolutionary time as that every man
with good health and a clear head united
to determination to win had more
abundant opportunities than he can have
now. II
To a degree this is true, but it is a
question if there are not other oppor-
tunities in these days to compensate
for those peculiar to the first days of a
rapidly developed new country.
Moreover, the opportunities Of a new
country have not. by any means passed
away. Northern Minnesota is a new coun-
try to-day and thousands of young men
strong, stalwart fellows, full of vitality
and energy, and not afraid of hard work
are there laying the foundations of flu
ture fortunes. The same is true of north,
Dakota have their new countries, anc
out beyond in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho
Washington, Oregon and throughout the
west the raw materials of nature avail
in many forms conversion into wealth.
But to realize these opportunities thu
young man must be of the sturdy stuff
Of his father. He must be willing to for
sake home and friends and pleasant as
sociations and strike out among strang
ers and be not too finnicky. The fortunes
of a new land are not for the finnicky
