The continued aid which the Metho-
dist Episcopal church as a denomina-
tion has given for the maintenance Of
educational institutions for Afro-Amer-
leans in the United States is one of the
best evidences that the race has proved
itself worthy Of such help. This may
be readily seen when we consider the
large number Of brilliant useful and
influential men, products of these in
stitutions, who have worked their way
up through these schools and who are
now filling important places as min
listers and teachers among their peo-
pie throughout the United States.
Some of the able men who are reflect
ing credit upon the denomination and
honor upon the race are: Bishop l. B.
Scott, who Is at present in Liberia;
Rev. DR.. NJ. G. B. Mason, the silver
tongued orator, who is the secretary Of
the Freedmen's bureau; Professor r.
S. Lovinggood, president Of Sam Hous-
ton college at Austin, Tex; Rev. DR..
NJ. W. Dogan, president Of Wiley uni
yersity. Marshall, Tex; Rev. DR.. r. e.
Jones, editor Of the Southwestern
Christian Advocate; Professor W. Fl.
Coogman, president of Clark univer-
sity, Atlanta, Ca; DR.. ]. w. E. Bowen,
the scholarly president Of Cannon
Theological seminary; Rev. DR.. G. G.
Jacobs, field secretary Of the Sunday
School union; Professor l. Garland
Penn Of the Epworth League society,
and Rev. DR.. l. L. Thomas, field agent
of the board of home missions and
church extension.
DR.. Thomas has Travelled from one
end Of the United States to the other
during the four years which he has
been field agent and has thorough
knowledge Of racial conditions. He
has just returned to bis home In Bal
timore from an extended trip south,
bringing an optimistic report. He
says:
despite the burdens our people
have to suffer they are making COM
mendable progress. Here and there
educated young men are succeeding
admirably along various lines. and the
rapid economic strides we are max
ing. though perhaps slowly, lead me to
think that in few years colored men
doing business on a large scale will
De the rule rather than the exception.
These men will surely pave the way
for better things for the race.
II am just getting ready for the
printer book entitled The Methodist
Episcopal Church and the Colored
People, which will most likely contain
interesting information about our peo-
pie, especially those who are Metho-
dists."
Dr. Thomas was born In Anne Arun.
del county, Md. In 1861. He was grad
uated from Morgan college, Baltimore.
In 1881. While serving small charge

and that these roads should be special

employment Of a competent engineer

shall be advisory and with only such

The resolution was amended so rs

improved roads pay one-sixth of the
cost of construction. The action of
the mass meeting will be presented
to the Board Of Supervisors by a spe-
clal committee at the December term.

MUST Protect
THE Pine TREES
Valuable Suggestions Made BY Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot in
New Orleans Recently.

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
Forest Service of the Department of
Agriculture while in New Orleans
last week, made some suggestions by
which the pine forest of the South
may be protected. Mr.. Pinchot said
that the destruction of the southern
pine had become serious question
and that immediate steps should be
take nto protect it's timbers. Re-
garding the turpentine bushes Mr..
Pinchot said:
The destruction of timber by fire
Is chiefly due in the South to the
antiquated methods of extracting tur.
pentine. These should be changed,
and the sooner the better. The proper
methods, In my opinion, are the use
OF the cup and gutter system, which
was introduced by the French. This
eliminates the old system of boxing
and minimizes the danger Of fire, at
the same time making the rosia
cleaner. Then the tops and SLASH
should be stacked and burned so there
would be less danger from underbrush
rlres. This can only be done, how
ever, by having timber guards whose
duty 1t Is to see that the proper pre-
cautions against forest fires are TAX
