THE CALL.
To All Lovers Of True Freedom Who Be-
lieve In Equality Of Rights, Privileges
and Opportunities For All Americans
Without Regard to Race or Color:
Greeting. A little more than year has
passed since a number Of individuals met
at Philadelphia and formed the National
Negro American Political league. whose
prime object is thus stated:
ITO organize and train the colored men
Of America to use their ballots to secure
for the race every right guaranteed 1t un-
der the constitution Of the United States"
The original call and the address adopt
ed at the first meeting set forth In detail
the reasons which made an organization
having such a purpose a national neces-
sity. The same reasons apply today with
added force, for none Of the dangers and
evils therein enumerated has in the least
abated. and new dangers menace the free
dom and citizenship Of the race.
At that meeting certain plan to b
pursued during the then pending cam
paign was determined upon. Those OF US
who inaugurated that plan OF campaign
are still convinced OF its correctness and
necessity.
The league has been called to meet at
the Dunbar theater in Columbus. o.. on
Nay Is at 10 o'clock n. m. II Is expected
that the sessions Will last two days. with
public meetings in commodious places OF
assembly during the sessions. At the COM
ing meeting 1t is intended to take notice
Of what has been accomplished thus far.
to discover mistakes. II any. and to ar
range to avoid them In the future. to take
stock OF our forces and resources and.
above all. to lay plans to carry on the
work begun and the work to be done and
to invoke the blessings and assistance OF
Almighty God In arousing our people for
the mighty struggle in which they are
engaged.

cooperation Of all persons of all race1
who are In sympathy with Its pur-
poses, which are broadly stated as the
cause of equal rights and equal oppor-
tunities.
Particular interest attaches to the
coming meeting Mt Columbus because
1t is to be addressed by ex-senator
Joseph B. Foraker. the peerless cham
pion Of the black battalion. Governor

men Of both races will speak at public
meetings. 1t is also announced that

cially to the memory Of John Brown,
as this is the jubilee year Of his mar
tyrdom.

stand Of last year and hold that pres
ent conditions demand the continuance

collegeS dOttlng the south and the
southwest and the many advantages
besides the public and high schools
which are open In the northern cities
to Negro youth, there should be no ex.
cuse for any young man or woman not
having at least liberal English edu-
cation. A splendid school which is To-
Gated almost in the heart of the south
and is just now rapidly gaining in use
fulness and influence is State college,
better known as the Colored Normal,
Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanic
al college, at Orangeburg, S. G.. Much
of the credit for this school is due to
the persistent efforts Of ex-Congress-
man Thomas E. Miller of South Caro-
lima, who introduced the bill in the
state legislature setting forth the ne
cessity for such school for Negro
youth in the heart of the black belt of
the state. Mr.. Miller contended that it
was the duty of the state to aid liberal.
ly in the support of such school,
His logic and common sense way of
putting things swayed sentiment in his
favor, and on June 10, 1895, the bill
was passed by the legislature, and in
October of the same year the college
opened with an enrolment of 1000
students. AS the state owned a tract
Of land at Orangeburg upon which sew.
eral buildings were already erected,
remodeling was easily done with little
expense, and the school started off
upon good working basis.
Congressman Thomas e. Miller, who
represented the Second congressional
district Of South Carolina in the Fifty.
first and Fifty-second United States
congresses and who has the confidence
and support of Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman in the work of the school, has
been its president from its inception
and is still its venerable head. The
college has 100 acres of farm land. In.
dustrial hall is the seat Of many indus.
tries, such as woodworking, ironwork-
ing, mechanical and architectural draw.
ing, spinning, tailoring, shoemaking,
harness making, painting and masonry
The purpose of the college, aside from
the Industrial training which the stu.
dents receive, is to give to all pupils
an opportunity for the higher branches
Of literary training, especially the sci
ence and art of teaching, by which
they may become thoroughly equipped
as public school teachers. The board
Of trustees while securing for the col.
ored youth one of the best arranged
college plants in the south was also
careful in the selection of the faculty,
which consists Of strong corps of
teachers-earnest Christian men and
women-characteriz by strict integ-
rity, natural fitness and love for the
work.
In order to promote the physical
well being of the students an athletic
association is maintained. A large
field for the use of the students has
been opened recently. with running
track, jumping and pole vaulting
paths, circles for throwing the ham,
mer. etc. Football, baseball and ten
mis- are also encouraged. President
Miller is very careful to have the stu
dents in the agricultural department
