Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-05-15

tne American nome tOuay IL hot What
1t was fifty years ago; that home life
In the large apartments and hotels In
cities was being minimized. He also
urged upon fathers and mothers to pro-
vide suitable comforts and pleasant
pastimes for their sons and daughters
at home If they wished to save them
from evil companionship.
In closing his address DR.. Credit
expressed high approval of the under
taking Of the club to build a hall and
called upon the men of Brooklyn and
New York to either acknowledge their
incapacity for leadership or fall in line
witt the women Of the Metropolitan
Business club and assist them in rails
ing sufficient means to accomplish the
object which they have in view. Mr..
Wibecan, who is well known poll
tician and progressive citizen, stated
that he had the uttermost confidence
in the women back Of the movement
and that every dollar invested with
them by the public was protected by
first mortgages and that he was willing
to trust them with his money for such
a worthy and timely object The fact
that over $1,000 has already been SUBJ
scribed toward the fund is sufficient
evidence to show that real progress is
being made. The race must wake up
to realization of its financial strength
and make use Of what 1t has for its
own benefit. 1t is not question Of
money alone which prevents the Negro
from owning and controlling business
enterprises; 1t is his inactivity and lack
of business push and foresight which
keep him dependent upon other races
for that which he could easily provide
for himself With thousands Of dol
lars on deposit in the banks and trust
companies of the city, there Is not a
hall or convenient assembly room
owned by Negroes in Brooklyn. and
the same is true In nearly every large
city in the United States. The Grand
Fountain Of the United Order Of True
RefOrmers as an organization owns
more real estate In comparison than all
Of the other Negro secret and benevo-
lent organizations in the United States.
Let the race get busy everywhere and
look well to its future welfare. The
Metropolitan Women's Business club
is on the right track and is going to
succeed in way which should give
hope, inspiration and courage to tho
race for generations to come.

WHITE SUICDED
wELL.kNowN RAILROAD, MAN
DIED FROM EFFECTS or GAS.
Chief clerk Of Terminals Wrote a
Note, Turned on the Gas, and
Lay Down for sleep Of Death.

The Times-Unlon of Wednesday

nation Of the suicide of G. ]. White,
chief clerk to w. T. Hensell, super
intendent of terminals for the Atlantic
Coast Line railway at Jacksonville, the
unfortunate man having been found
dead In a room in his home Tuesday
night, the result of asphyxation.
Deceased was well-known among
the employees of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and was quite popular among
large circle of railroad friends, and
the news of his death from suicide
came as a great shock to all.
Mr.. White has been in the employ
Of the Atlantic Coast Line for sew
eral years, and was regarded as one
of the most valued men in the service.
He was as a rule possessed Of a most
am1able disposition, always looking
upon the bright or humorous side OF
things, and it was thought he would
have been the last man to take his
own life
Mr.. White was driving an automo-
bile last Sunday night, when the ma
chine ran into horse and wagon, In
juring the animal to such extent that
it was necessary to put It to death
by shooting. The owner of the horse.
the Dixie Transfer Company, through
its manager caused warrant to be
sworn out for the arrest OF White
upon charge of reckless driving, and
II was when the officers went TO the
White home to arrest the man that
his death was discovered. His lifeiess
body was found lying stretched at
full length across bed, and the gas
jets in the room were turned on, which
told the story.
Mrs, White, wife Of deceased, was
visiting in New York at the time of
this unfortunate incident, and the fol
lowing note, written on the margin Of
newspaper and addressed to VIM. c.

IAN:

follows: call up Charles Fitzpatrick

EDUCATIONAL RALLY
WAS GRAND SUCCESS
GOOD CROWD PRESENT TO HEAR
ADDRESSES AT COURT HOUSE
Practical Educators Talked Along
practical Lines, and All Pres
snt Fsn Benefited.
rrom Thursday,s pally sun:

From Thursdays Daily Sun:
According to announcement, the
Alachua County School Improvement
Association held a meeting at the
court house Tuesday night. when many
interested in education had the pleas
ure OF hearing some most excellent
addresses along these lines by speak
ers who, being educators themselves,
handled the subject in clever and
practical manner. Even Congressman
Frank Clark, who made the principal
talk Of the evening, stated that at
one time he earned his living by
teaching a country school In South
Florida, hence was in a position to
speak more intelligently upon what
he considered one of the most Import
ant topics in the whole country at this
time--the education OF the children.
The meeting was called to order by
Prot w. II. Cassels, principal OF the
Gainesville Graded and High School,
who presided throughout the evening.
Prof. Cassels INDUCED in a talk Of
possibly a half hour. every moment
of which was full Of intereet and good
practical suggestions. AT the close Of
his remarks he introduced Prof.
Thaxton, OF the University stan, who
made few brief but timely remarks,
which were well received.
Frank clark's Address.
At the conclusion Of Prof. Thaxton's
remarks the presiding officer, in a
neat and clever manner, presented
Hon. Frank Clark, which was a signal
for applause as that gentleman arose
and faced the audience.
COL Clark, who Is one Of the most
pleasing speakers in the State, seem
cd at his best upon this occasion, and
for nearly an hour his remarks were
listened 70 with the closest attention
The speaker said many good things
but insisted that the most important
matter for consideration IN this pro
gresslye age was the construction OF
good roads and a rural system OF
telephones. II want 10 see the day
when this grand country of ours will
be a network Of hard roads and tele-
phone lines" he said, for that means
we will have good schools--they are
bound TO result from good roads, a
generous telephone system, and other
modern improvements, for these are
instruments OF education I'm them
selves; and the day we see them, that
day we will see consolidation OF
small schools into large ones, which
means the employment OF more effi
Client instructors"
Mr. Clark said he used TO earn
living teaching country school II
South Florida. and he realized keenl'
the disadvantages OF the average
teacher, especially in the countrl
school. where dlsadvantageous condi
lions frequently exist OF which the pa
irons or the public know nothing
He concluded his remarks by appeal
ing 70 patrons to do their share "a

school a success.
