did not want to exterminate the
race. The sad history of the Jews of
that time would be the history Of the
negro Of today II he would attempt to
take the reins into his own hands.
The white man OF the north would be
the friend of the white man of the
south, no matter what may now be
the idle talk of force bills'' and
measures to reduce representation in
congress-.
At this point he digressed for a mo-
ment to say that the Ogden move
ment, so.called, is not to elevate the
negro, but to educate the Door white
people first. He had been told this
by men prominently connected with
the conference on arecent visit north.
They are willing to leave the educa-
tion OF the negro with the white peo-
pie Of the south and that is why they
would first educate tho poor white
people.
The negro race will never rule any
body else, he said, until they first
learn to s,rve. The leading negro is
today those who have good homes, and
honorable families are the ones who
were the best slaves. 1t is our busi-
ness to serve; God left us here In the
south to serve" he said. He declared
that the educated negro cares moth.
ing for social equality between the
races. II don't care how highly a
negro may be educated, he hates to
face q white man In eating. He
DOESN'T enjoy the rashuns'."-
Education will not bring the negro
any closer to the white man, socially.
1t will show just how far to go. 1t
is the ignorant negro who would rush
In where angels and poor whites
would not dare to tread.
The tilthiest kitchens in all the
world are In southern homes. The
way to find man out Is by his back
yard. His parlor is always fixed for
company, but go to the room where
he sies ps, go to the kitchen. The
man WHO pays cook rs cents week,
Is repaid In dirty food. b :tter wages
would get better service, although
the negro likes the pay part better
than he does the work. The north
ern white people would not put up
with the slovenly habits Of the negro.
a cook will 60 on an excursion, stay
three or four days, and c'me back to
her job Sue Will burn up the rice,
burn up the biscuits, get discharged
and be back at work the next day.
He told OF negro boy working in a
hotel in this State who has learned
at school that the greatest accomplish
ment in life is to be able SO to do his
work that no one can come behind
him and do it any better.
The race needs teachers. AS the
negro studies Theology, he should
study also how to farm. Help the
negro" he appealed. 'Sce that they
have good teachers. II they get good
preachers, help the negroes to keer
them, aud when they get bad preach.
erS help them to get rid Of them.
The race is kept back because Of the
great power and influence of un.
worthy preachers, men who preach
tone, and not sense. He did fine
piece OF acting to show how ignorant
preachers humble something with nc
intelligence and affect their congrega,
tions marvelously, because the negro
Is SO su ceptible to sympathetic
sounds. Before the war there was q
servants house in every yard. The
white people should keep their ser.
wants close to them. Make them
sleep. Keep them away from fes-
tivals and revivals. The man who does
without sleep will degenerate.

Booker Washington tells the negroe1
to build fine houses 80 that they will
be respected. Carroll declared tina,
this would not do the negro any good
There are too many fine churches
among the negroes now. Too much
brick and mortar. Home is not a
mere dwelling. Home Is woman. The
negro woman Is treated worse than
the woman of any other race in the
world. There is a destroying ange
on every corner awaiting the negro
woman. Her own race will not pro.
tect her and the white man will not
protect her. No race can rise above
its women. White women should
talk with negro women-not associate
with them, but advise them. The
educated white people OF the south
treat the negro better than any other
set OF p ople, and they are polite to
! the negro.
