continually recalling to our minds
the duty we owe to ourselves.
our neighbors and our God, such
duties hang heavily upon each of
us, and IN a measure our rise or
downfall hinges upon them.
There is growing tendency.
and it is to be regretted, that our
people are becoming to depre-
clate the services of such men.

ence and honor them in the capa

The man "behind the pulpit
may or may not be d power, i. e.
for good. He is, as you say, a
power but we are chaSrined too
often, because our 'colored' men
behind the pulpit are immoral
drunkards, and are ignorant. We
agree that an intelligent, up
right, honest, sober and christian
man behind the pulpit. is a
mighty pow for good, if he is
not of this type, he is not so
powerful for good. This is also
the prerequisite for the man be-

ChaS. Stewart! on the Ransom Affair

Normal, Ala, June IS, 1906
In a statement sent out from
Boston to the various papers of
the country, it is charged that
Prof. w. H. Councill, President
of A. & M. College, located at
this place for the training of
colored boys and girls mis:reated

Boston, because Dr.. Ransom had
been elected from a Pullman car
and mistreated by some southern
white men. If this was true

censure of the civilized world.
| desire to give the true YER
sion of Vie whole affair, because
| was present and was the first
to call on Mr.. Ransom after his
arrival here, hence [ am in po-
sition to give the facts in the
case.
DE- Ransom came to Normal,
on invitation from the President
and faculty to deliver an address
to the graduates. He went to
Huntsville and telephoned the
college, and a carriage was or
dered to bring him out, which it
did. When [ heard that he had
reached Normal, [ went to call
on him and found that he was in
bed with his shoes. coat, and hat
on. [ spoke to him, as l have
known him number of years
He got up staggering, and told
me he had some trouble on his
way here and was upset, there
fore wanted some milk. I sent
for the milk or h m. told h m to
und es, and 90 TO bed, but he
went uack to bed as before only
rem wing his hat and ulster.
Later officers of the Alumni
called on him, and finding him
intoxicated, they recommended
that he be excused from deliver
ing the address. Ie was excus-
ed and the amount Of money
which had been agreed upon was
paid to him. He was informed
that he could have a carriage
whenever he desired it to carry
him to the city, He cot himself
together and left for Huntsville,
taking the first train from there
for home.
Prof. Council did not know
any thing about the trouble he
had had enroute to Normal. until
after he had been excused from
delivering the address, hence did
not act on that but excused DR..
Ransom, because he had return
ed to his old habit: he was drunk.
There was nothing else for Mr..
Council to do, and if DR.. Ran
som had been allowed to speak
in this condition, President
Council would have been censur-
ed, so you may see the position
in which he was placed and al
low truth to get a hearing
