Tells OF The PResRESs MADE BY TIE
NEGRO RACE.

Louisville, Ky, August IS.-A
sketch of what the American negro
has done since his emancipation in
1868 and a suggestion that the fitch
anniversary of that emancipation be
celebrated in 1918 were the features
of Booker T. Washington.s address
before the National Negro Business
league at its tenth annua; meeting in
this city tonight.
When the league began work.
said the speaker, there were 1 few
drug stores owned or controlled by
black people. Now We have nearly
900. a few years ago there were
only about half a dozen negro banks
in the country, now there are forty
seven Dry goods stores, grocery
stores and industrial enterprises to
the number of over 10000 have
sprung up in all parts of hecountry.
A little more than forty years ago
when the negro was made free he
had almost no acres of land. Now
he has an acreage almost as large as
New England. Then he had almost
no homes, now he has 400, 900 homes.
Then he had few farms, now he las
200, 900 farms. Then he had no in,
surance; now he has several thoas-
and. When the American negro
was made free only about 5 per cent
could read and write. Now fifty
seven per cent can both read and
write. Then he had few churches,
now he has GO, 900 churches.

US in my opinion, even larger de-
gree of success and encourag. ment.
And the greater part of this progress
has taken place in the southernstates
Right in the midst ofpeopIe who

me add, this growth could not have
taken place until We had in each of
these southern communities not a
few white men who have believed in

HEAVIEST SNOW
IN MANY YEARS SIX INCHES OF THE
BEAUTIFUL AT JOHANNESBURG.

Johannesburg, August lS.-The
heaviest snow recorded in years fell
here today. BY noon siv inches were
on the ground, and late tonight
nearly foot of the beautiful was
piled up on the streets. In many
cases the drifts were yard deep.
The telephone and telegraph sev-
ices are out of commission, owing to
many wires being down. Business
has been almost entirely suspended,
and the prospects are that CONNER
cial affairs will remain at stand
still for several days at least.
Members of the stock exchange
became kids once more, as they
stopped hearing the calls and Auc-
tuations of stock long enough to
troop into the streets and engage in
lively SNOWFALL battle.
While they were so engaged a
number of street gamins appeared
and erected snow fort, challeng-
ing the staid brokers to drive them
out. The stock members accepted
the prefer of battle, but were
driven back to shelter when the
samins, REINFORCED by several gangs,
rushed from behind their entrench-
ment and drove, the brokers back in
to the stock exchange.
