reading in her room about II O'Clock

some one was trying to enter the

self with a pistol, crept to window
and threw it open. No one was to be

a quick change of base on the part
of the stealthy prowler, as no more

GLENN ON NEGRO.
They Must Keep Their
Place in Society.
In Asking For Justice the Negro Must
First Do Justice. States Why Some
People Object to Educating
the Negro.

Governor Glenn yesterday stated
in his speech before the A. and M.
College, for the colored, at Greensboro
that related his early association
among the negroes, in the time of sla-
very, showing why his feelings were
kindly toward them. He selected as his
subject 1.-The formation OF Character.
the Betterment of the Manners and the
Right Kind of Education the Negro
needed"
The keynote of his whole address
was that the negro should live up to
higher ideals of character, and that
to be well thought of he must keep
his proper place in society, become
interested in Industrial pursuits, and
prove worthy OF the help of the good
people.
Governor Glenn'S future relations to-
wards the negro may we'll be learned
from the sentiments he expressed i'll
this speech.
In speaking CT their moral life
and social relations ne enjoined upon
the negroes that they teach theirchil-
dren honesty virtue, truth. fidelity
and gratitude, enlarglng upon each of
those themes and showing the impor-
lance of it to their dealings with all
and how much better this paid than
insolence and trying to thrust them
selves in places where they could new
er be admitted, which anly brought
AGITATION and distress to their race. He
showed what North Carolina had done
for the negro along educational lines
in spite of their attitude to the party
in power, as we'll as what North Caro-
lima would do, provided the negro
showed himself worthy. The negro
in asking for justice must first do JUS
tice.
There are three reasons he said why
a great many white people object to
educating the negro. First, because
they do not save and accumulate any
thing but waste everything and there
fore do not bear their proportionate
part of the taxes incident to education.
Second, that when they acquire lit
tie learning, they feel fit to be law
yers, doctors and will not work with
their hands, becoming unfit citizens
and Migrants, and winding up in the
penitentiary. Third. because when once
they have received their education.
they do not show their gratitude by
remaining in the State and giving their
services here, but leave the State and
do nothing towards helping those who
have helped them. If they wish to do
away with these objections they must
show the world that education has
made them more worthy citizens.
