''The need of the race Is for educated
men and women who are willing to
work with their hands. There is no
more opportunity in the south than
anywhere else for an uneducated man.
and that educated individual makes a
sad mistake if he feels that by reason
of his education he is above working
with his hands.
I'VE are called upon TO engage in
economic competition with the white
race for opportunities to live and grow
in the struggle for existence. Indeed,
We are living in great and prosper
GUS country, our natural home, but at
the same time the natural home OF
another race. which is thrifty, deserv-
ing, industrious and efficient. II We
would succeed in the end we must
measure up to the standard of our
more fortunate brother.
THE natural wealth of the south
means just rs much to US as it does TO
the white people We have just mar
keted Dig cotton crop. Ihls crop
alone is worth twice as much as the
product OF all the gold mines in the
world for the same time. and the col
ored people had the largest share in
producing ii.
IF the race is not better OF finan-
cially for it there is something wrong
with US. Here in the south We have
the rare and splendid opportunity of
getting into the line of progress and Of
becoming sure and integral part Of
the great ard wealthy section in which
We are to forever live. and we can be-
come owners and citizens of the most
desirable class or be reduced to mental
servants"

Charles Arnold, alleged bigamist.
is said to be losing his mind. Since
his Incarceration in the county Jail
here he has been acting strangely
and this morning he was taken to
the padded cell and confined as 1t Is
said that he is growing extremely
violent.
Arnold was brought back to Gree

by Sheriff Florance. During the first
week in Jail he refused 20 eat.
Medical attention was given him
and he improved. Lately. however,
he has given evidence OF mental de-
rangement.
The authorities think that the
man may be feigning illness in the
hope of being freed of the charge
now against him and he will be sub
jected to severe medical examina-
ton.
In the event it is found that Ar
mold is mentally deranged he will
be tried for lunacy and will be sent
to the asylum, thus escaping the
penitentiary sentence which would
be fastened on him in the event he
is found guilty OF the charge Of big
