SENSIRLE ADDRRSS.


1922 ~. Bo~AS@AS -
Tampa Times. Jan. 81
What was without doubt one of the
most eloquent, logical and sensible ad-
dresses ever heard in Tampa was deliv-
cred on the court house square yester-
day afternoon by Bishop Alexander
Walters, president of the Afro-Ameri-
can Council, u. S. A., in honor of eman-
cipation day, celebrated in a highly
creditable manner by the negroes of
Tampa and South Florida.
Bishop Walters is one of the most i'm
posing men of his race ever seen in
Tampa, every feature of his face and
general bearing portraying very strong
character combined with intelligence
and sincere interest in the spiritual
and material welfare of his people.
From utterdnce showing a deep and
profound understanding of the needs of
the negro, placed before his hearers in
an earnest and eloquent manner, the
speaker would change to lighter vein,
bringing laughter from all present He
was frequently cheered by both the
white people and the people of his race.
In speaking of the lynching question,
the speaker said:
Il am glad to see that many Southern
papers are foremost in protesting against
lynching, which we have protested
against because it proves an injury to
good and proper government and
menace to the safety of the innocent
| say with emphasis, if man commits
a crime that merits the death penalty,
let him surely die, but let him die by
the law. No man deplores crime more
than |, and no man believes more firmly
in proper punishment with as little de-
lay as possible.
The speaker then offered his congrat-
ulations to the negroes of Tampa who
are in business for themselves. Go
into business for yourselves, he urged;
start business of some kind, for our
people have got to work up from their
present station to higher position, and
it must be done through the church and
through application to business. Get a
few old clothes, few old shoes, or any
thing that will start you into the mer-
camille and other business, and work
with a determination, throwing aside
shiftlessness and applying yourself to
work Work with heart and soul, dur
ing the day, and then go to your homes
with the determination of making every
thing bright and happy as possible there
and work necessarily for the elevation
of your family.
Work on faithfully, and it will not
be long before the white men of this
country, who are the negro's friends,
will sit in conference with him and do
everything possible to help and aid him.
And in the meantime the vicious ne
groes, and also the vicious white men,
will be made to take their proper places
in the rear. This is what we should
strive for and we want nothing else. "
The bishop plead with his people to
strive for the attainment of higher
ideals in every way, to live better lives,
throwing aside the evils that beset

frightened Horse Fell Dead.

Innate antipathy between the
equine species and the pachderm
caused the death of a fine black
horse when it caught sight of an
elephant in a circus parade at
Springfield, O. The animal was
young one, belonging to the
Capital City Dairy company, and
had probably never seen an ele.
plant before. Most horses are
badly frightened on their first
glimpse of the bulky beast, but
usually take out their scare mere
ly in an attempt to run away.
This horse was so frightened that
it fell dead.
1t was apparently in the best
of health, but fell to the ground
the instant it beheld the ele-
plant. 1t courageously arose,
only to fall again in few sec
onds. This time it failed to gel
up and in few moments was
dead.

Lighting a Pipe.

A smoker who started to light
his pipe on the street turned to
his companion and said: A man
told me the other day how to
light an ordinary match in a high
wind.
There was a stiff breeze blow
ing. The demonstrates took
from his pocket an envelope,
struck parlor match on rail
and shielded it inside of the en-
velope, facing the wind as he
did so. The match burned with
hardly a flicker, and the man
who held it pulled on his pipe
with great satisfaction.
"That's a trick worth knowing
ing" he remarked. Here's an
other. Sometimes you get a
spark ON the top of your pipe
which the most vigorous putting
fails to spread over the surface
of the tobacco. In that case
take a piece of paper of almost
any kind and hold it down in
the spark. This will spread the
fire and give you the sort OF
light a pipe smoker wants."

The Power Of His Eye.

1t is told of Van Amburg,

occasion while in a barroom he
was asked how he gained his
wonderful power over animals.
He said:

Pm not in the least bit afraid Of
them and by keeping my eye
steadily on theirs. I'll giveyou
an example of the power of my
eye."
Pointing TO a loutish fellow
who was sitting near by, he said :
"You see that fellow? He's a
clown. I'll make him come
across the room to me, and !
won't say a word to him"
Sitting down, he fixed his keen,
steady eye on the man. Pres
emily the fellow Strengthened
himself up, rose from his seat
and came slowly across to the
lion tanner. When he was close
en1igh he drew back his arm
