THE AFRo-AMERIcANs ARE BE-
COMING LAND OWNERS IN
ALL PARTS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

It's often remarked by the white
and members Of our own race, that
the Negro is not a progressive race.
that he is worthless and shiftless, but
when we compare the latest report of
the census bureau that shows the Ne
gro's acquisition, with only forty-five
years of freedom, TO have reached the
enormous sum Of $685., $4,000.
In 1900 no less than 746,717 farms,
ss,2SS,ss4 acres, 5s,741 square miles
Just the area Of England and Wales,
or double that of Scotland-were
owned and tenanted by Negroes in
the United States.
Those in the Southern Central
States, 27.2 per cent, Of all the farms;
in the~South Atlantic States, 30 per
cent; in the Southern States-F1ori-
da, 80 per cent; Georgia, 1913 per
cent; Alabama, AZ per cent; Louisi-
ana, 50 per cent; and Mississippi, IS
per cent.
The Negroes have more farms in
Louisiana and Mississippi than white
men.
When we come to farms in the
hands Of owners we find that IN
twelve Southern States Negro land
lords in 1900 owned 1882 FARMS
and the aggregate wealth Of the Ne
groes was sSOO,OOO,OO0. The race
that owned not an acre Of land a lit
tie over forty years ago is now pos
SCISSOR as landlords Of an area larger
than Belgium and Holland combined,
and rapidly increasing.
The fastest compiled report Of the
census bureau shows the actual
wealth Of the American Negro to be
nearing the billion mark as follows:
