Charleston, w. Va.
TO the Editor:-
through your paper, I wish to
call the attention OF the members
or the National Negro Business
League, the members Of the various
Local Leagues throughout the coun.
try and also the members of our
race generally to the fact that the
National Negro Business League will
hold IT'S ann u Sa afe tt18 S.si III NeW u
York City! On August II, IS and 10,
1910. "'-' '-'.' g.
The citizens of New York have al
ready begun to make generous pre-
parations for this gathering. These
annual meetings in an increasing de-
gree can be made Of real service to
our race. They have several values:
Flrst,-They bring men and wom
en- together who are actually doing
Things. They give chance for Der
sonal acquaintance: and a chance
t0r one man to get information and
encouragement from the other.
Second,-Such meetings afford an
opportunity for other races to see
What our people are accomplishing,
IN the way Of making progress.
Third, These meetings give an on
portunlty for q vacation, or an out
ing, of kind that every man owes
to himself and his family once a
year
Fourth,-At the season Of the wear
when the meeting will take place,
New York is likely to be very
attractive and comfortable spot, and
especially is New York a fortunate
place IN which to meet, because of
the many important things that can
be seen.
Aside from the regular program
or the League, which is going to be
an unusually strong and attractive
ent outside speakers Of the white
race, and among them, we are hop
ing to have Former President -TheU.
dore Roosevelt.
The New York committee is not
only preparing to make this a great
N
is concerned, but to surround it with
attractions and diversions in social
way that will greatly add to the
value and interest Of the meeting.
] want to urge that our men, mot
only be present in large numbers,
but. in SO far as they can, that they
bring their wives and other members
Of their families with them. Now is
the time for each one to begin to
make preparations to attend the
meeting. All Of tho advantages in
the way Of reduced railroad rates,
etc. that can be provided for will
be secured.
Other announcements giving i'm
pOrtant detailed information will be
made bv officers Of the League later.

accepted the reins of government, as
auring the retiring Recorder his best
wishes for the future and promising
to do his fpll duty as God gave him
to see the way. He assured the
