teemed young business men, died at the
Adrian Hospital in Pnnxsntawney at
200 a. m. Monday, December 8, 1909,

to his business as usual and Wednesday
morning he got up not feeling we'll, but
worked around until 30 a. m. when he
took chill. Thursday morning he was
suffering from plurisy and peritonitis,
with indications of distractions OF the
bowels. He did not get any better and
Saturday morning the trouble WAS
diagnosed to be obstruction OF the
bowels. 1t was decided that an opera
tion was necessary and Mr.. Headiey
was taken to the Adrian Hospital on
the LOS p. m. trolley car Saturday. The
operation was performed that afternoon
ana he died at the hour stated above.
The announcement of his death was

The second high school team OF
Reynoldsville was defeated by the
DUBOIS second team at the latter place
last Saturday afternoon in, as the
Courier says, "a we'll played game"

For some reason the Courier does not
act fair with Reynoldsville when Du.

DdBois and Reynoldsvile high school
teams played game here and the
visitors we're defeated. Score 5 to 0.
The Courier claimed that neither side
scored and also stated that 1t was the

that had defeated the Dubois high
school boys. On Friday, November 26,
the Dubois and Reynoldsville second
high school teams played game In
Reynoldsville and the Dubois boys
were defeated, score IL to 0, but the
Courier failed to make mention OF the
game. In the report of Saturdays

school team of that place credit with
defeating the high school team Of Reyn-
oldsville, which is not true statement.
It was the second high school team
Of Reynoldsville. Omitting the word

Progress in Civilization.

"It is the city group Of negroes, there
fore, that is the most civilized and ad-
vancing. 1t is that group whose social
structure we need to study. 1t Is in the
south above all a segregated group.
| Let me illustrate the possibilities of
a black man in city like Atlanta today.
He may arise in the morning in a house
which black man built and which he
himself owns. 1t has been painted and
papered by black men. The furniture
was probably bought at white store,
but not necessarily. and, if 1t was. 1t was
brought to the house by a colored dray-
man.
| His provisions are bought at a negro
grocery. For the most part his morn
| ing paper is delivered by a colored boy.
He starts to work walking to the car
with a colored neighbor and sitting in a
car surrounded by colored people
I'm most cases he works for white men;
but not in all. as he may work for a
colored man or a colored family. Even
If he works for white man his fellow
workmen, men with whom he comes in
contact. are all colored. With them he
eats his dinner and returns home at
night.
''Once a week he reads colored paper.
He is insured in a colored insurance
company. He patronizes a cOlored school
with colOred teachers. and colored
church with a colored preacher. He gets
his amusement at places frequented and
buried by colored people in colored
graveyard.
In his section of the city few or no
white people live, consequently his chill
dren grow up with colored companions.
In his home white person seldom. il
amusements and ceremonies are among
his own people.

Where Race Is a Question.

'It is here that the great battle of the
race question Is fought-but fought. as
you will perceive, not by the most highly
educated and able members Of the group.
but usually by the middle-class working
man. Often, too, the tendency is to
separate that group of men from its
natural intellectual leaders.
''This in the southern city group of
yesterday was possible. but is today be-
ing made more and more impossible.
These natural leaders are seeking econO-
mic improvement as leaders OF the In
tegrating forces of the race.
''They depend. therefore, upon this
mass of workingmen for their remunera-
ton and upon the loyalty which this mass
of workingmen cooperate in organiza-
ton. They must, therefore, cater to the
whims and dislikes of the mass of the
pegro people. This draws physicians and
their kind. ike teachers, preacheN and

A Separate People.

Now, such situation means more
than mere separation from white people.
1t means, as 1 have intimated before
not simply separation, but organized pro-
vision for the service Of this colored
group.
THE group must see to it that re-
ligion, education, amusements, ETC., are
furnished it's members. While some of
| these things are left to chance, more
and more such groups are conscenti-
ously exerting themselves in these ways.
And this is what l mean by migration.
'"The place. however, where the separa-
ton cannot be made more perfect is In
matters of work in economic cooperation.
Here the negro in Atlanta occupies one
of two very different positions.
He may be, and often is, one of those
engaged in service which the group as
such demands-that is, teacher, law
yer, a physician, druggist. an artisan
whose clients are colored or a servant for
colored people. This group Of employers
is growing rapidly, but 1t is a small group
and a group naturally paid small wages.
lon the other hand. the great mass of
this city group are persons whose en-
ployment makes them part Of the whole
economic organization Of the south and
the nation. These are the great mass OF
laborePs, pOrters, servants and artisans.
Their contact with the white group is
considerable and constant, and in that
contact enters and necessitates continual
existence of social Intercourse.
