NEGROES CELEBRATE EMANCIPATION.
Resolutions Adopted. An Address by
Prof. R. B. MCCrary.

4 hhoh n We HoutuJs
4 Negroes of Durham celebrated
the emancipation Proclamation
last Wednesday by having a pub
lie meeting at the court house at
which the proclamation was read
and an address was delivered, al
so resolutions were introduced
and adopted.
John Merrick presided while
DR.. C. H. Shepherd acted, as
secretary. The annual address
was delivered by Prof. R. B. Nc.
Crary, of Lexington. The fol-
lowing is condensed account of
the meeting from the Morning
Herald of January the 2:
Following the annual address
the announcement that Mr.. B.
N. Duke had given to the Lin
coin hospital his check for $500
was Justify cheered and the col
lection for the hospital amounted
to $50 by reason of the philan-
thropic pace set by Durham's
great-hearted man.
Professor McCrary's address
was the work of a man who
views things through the rose
tinted lorgnetteof the optimist.
He has struggled up from slavery
into power and owns the proper
ty upon which he lived in the
general bondage of good white
people whose name he bears. He
took Lincoln as the true Ameri-
can type and made an eloquent
appeal to his rate to adopt the
great war president who unfet-
tered himself from the slavery of
poverty and the oppression of
caste. q

the forty-fourlh anniversary of
our freedom. the coicfed people
point with pride to the continued

of the resolutions which have lit
