Lowest type Of Negroes"
One could go on ad inflnitum pro
ducing proofs of the falsity Of this
base union statement. l might tell
you of w. R. league, who began
working with the st. Bernard in 1875,
is still on the job and is one Of the
wealthiest colored men in this part OF
the State; Of Thomas Spencer, Andrew
Jackson, Champ Ashby and hundreds
of others who are doing things for
themselves and for their race that
they are not permitted to do in union
mines, where brotherly love Is not
colorly love. l could tell you Of the
employment Of a colored electrician
at lucrative pay as an existent proof
of the vast benefits of the Darlington
! Idea. There is a perfect myriad OF
facts. but to anyone whose viewpoint
is not discolored by a jaundiced eye,
these will suffice.
Upon a basis of mutual cooperation
the st. Bernard stands forth as q
friend to The Negro. The company
does not deny that the uplifting and
development Of the Negro miner Is
part of its mission. The company
spends thousands upon thousands OF
dollars annually in working toward
this end. 1t is foremost in everything
that is designed to help the Negro,
not only IN its immediate district,
but all V c the country. The Earl
ington Idea has for its motto All
men up" 1t means to accomplish
something for the Negro and make the
Negro accomplish something for HIM
self. 1t means to stand between him
and his worst enemy, the union; 1T
proposes tc keep on employing the
Negro upon a merit basis and encour-
age him TO build more schools and
libraries; it proposes to have Earring
ton set forth as an example to other
towns in the encouragement Of inter-
racial feeling and understanding, "and
if this be treason" let the union or
whatnot make the most OF 1t"

than not he gives himself the worst OF
it. The employees know that he has
never varied the slightest particle
from the absolute just thing. In their
work affairs he is their court OF APP
peal. and in case Of accident or in
Jury. they know no lawyer but the
president, and he invariably ajudicates
the case fairly. They know that they
will fare better with him than in a
civil court, and he never fails them.
This is where confidence, mutual con-
idence rides triumphant in the saddle.
And it not only prevails with the
president, but you can observe it all
along the line of officials of the com
pany. Every man seems to be incul-
Gated with the Darlington spirit OF a
fair deal to every man.

AS an illustration of the quality of

The company settles and does the right

no field for shysters, who are wont
to fatten upon the company and the
