Strong Points.

Thus briefly l have referred to some of
our weak points We have some strong
points We are usually faithful to the
people who trust us. There is no race in
the world that Is more ready to repay
kindness by labor than Is true of the
black race in America. The race Just
row needs encouragement as we'll as chas-
tisement. 1t is impossible for people
to make progress If attention is not called
once in a while to their strong points as
well as their weak points So often
see in the newspapers sweeping editorial
statements eondemning the whole negro
race on account of inefficient labor, when
the individuals who write the editorials
have in mind only a certain element or Il
small proportion of the race. There arc
too many oilers among our people, too
many inefficient laborers. but all persons
who write and speak should encourage
those who are doing well and condemn
those who are not making progress. There
should be distinction between the two
classes. then the good will be encouraged
to render better service.
In the majority of cases the crime conf
mitted by the members of our race is on
the part of those who are idle and who
have no regular employment and who
own no property 1t is very seldom that
crime is committed or even charged
against one who possesses a home, is II
tax payer, has regular employment and 4
little money in the bank.
We should always bear in mind that
the opportunity to labor that is right al
our door in every portion of the south
is one which we should not neglect 1t Is
one which Is in our hands. and If 1t passes
from us in this generation the opportunity
will scarcely come to us in so large
degree In the future. We can only hold
our place by proving to the world that
we can perform labor, of whatever its
character. ms well as any other class OF
people Each race in Alabama needs tho
other. The black needs the help of the
white man. the white man needs the as
sistance of the negro race.

There was introduced resolution pro-
viding that each parish pay the expenses
of two delegates to the council meetings.
The committee in making its report on
this innovation cut down the number 70
one and when the matter came up there
was evinced at once considerable hostility
to the motion and it was laid on the
table by practically unanimous vote.

FRISCO INSURANCE
TANGLE GOING
INTO COURT
COMPANIES WILL TAKE ADvANT-
AGE or QUAKE CLAUSE AND
DELAY SETTLEMENT.
CRAB AT TECHNICALITY
Few Companies Will Receive Scant
Mercy in the Courts in Their
Efforts to Avoid Just Pay
ments of Losses.

San Francisco, May 31,-Althougl
more than month mas passed since
| the great San Francisco fire, the & {
uation In regard to settlement Of losse.
| by fire insurance companies remains
unsettled, A few of the companies
have announced that all poIicyholders
viii be paid in full, but in contrast to
this attitude ii becomes more evident
every day that some of the com
panies will use every effort to delay
settlement.
1t is openly charged that certain
concerns are grasping at every tech
nicality TO avoid paymen; OF losses.
The companies will receive scanf a.
sistance in an effort to delay settlG-
ments by legal process. While IT is
realized that from cunningly worried
clauses in many policies ques ions of
legal liability have arisen which in Ali
probability will be given to the courts
10 decide, the companies will not be
permitted to.hang up claims in court
fer an indefinite period
The action Of George D Dornln In
resigning as Pacific Coast manager
of the National Insurance Company
of Hartford before that company be.
gan forcing It's pollcyholders to di
count their losses meets with The an
proval of the higher class Of insurance
men as well as the general public.
Although State Insurance Comuiy.
sioner Myron f.. Wolf has declrred re-
peatedly that all in urance companies
which evade the payment of losses viii
be driven from the state, If Is an
open secret that some of these com.
panies whose policies contain The
of earthquake clause have
decided TO stand upon this clause and |
that dispute arising from their atti- 4
