Poems of First
Negro Author.
Published In Book Form by R. R. Wrlqht,
Jr.. at Philadelphia = They Show
Marked Intelligence of the Writer
For That Early Period In
Nero Scholarship.

perhaps tAe most notable book pub
lished during the year in which Afro
Americans are chiefly concerned is the
poems of Philis Wheatley. There are
few AfrO-Americans of intelligence
who are not familiar with the name
Of the famous Afro American poetess
Phillis Wheatley, who evoked the pro-
foundest and sincerest admiration of
two continents in the early days of
the American republic. Phillis was
born in Africa and was brought To
Boston about 1761, where she was sold
as slave to Mrs. John Wheatley.
Although only eight or nine years of
age she was very apt to learn and
soon had speaking knowledge of the
English language, to which she was
originally an entire stranger For her
own amusement she began to write,
and soon classical Boston was attract
ed by her productions. She, though
slave, had the association of the best
people of New England, and even
George Washington and Thomas JEFF
ferson complimented her in true south.
ern style.
But, while Phillis Wheatley is known
by name to thousands of Americans
today and Notwithstanding the fact
that she was one Of the founders of
American literature. she is to most
people, even Of her own race. only a
name. Thousands of the best educated
persons have never seen or read her
poems because they have been genera
tons out of print. The first volume
was published in 1913. another in 1856.
another in 1893. another in 1901 and so
on until 1882. Her books are such
rarities as to be hidden behind lock
and key in the great libraries of the
English speaking race, such as the
British museum, Boston Public library.
Harvard university library and the
Congressional library at Washington.
The bringing out of this book is
quite contribution to race history
and race literature. and it should be an
inspiration to the youth of the race.
who unfortunately learn but little
either of the history or literature of
the race in the public schools.
Credit for the resurrection of these
poems Is due to Professor r. II.
Wright, Jr.. of Philadelphia. the sue.
cessful young editor of the Christian
Recorder who is following in the foot
steps of his illustrious father. Major
X. X. Wright of Georgia. The book
is itself gem. 1t contains about a
hundred pages, with green and gold
binding, and is printed on fine laid pa
per with a beautiful half tone cut of
Miss Wheatley. 1t was printed by the
A. NJ. L. Book Concern, which is the
Oldest printing establishment of the
race In the United States. The book
contains thirty poems on various
subjects. chiefly moral and religious.

Banks Must Protect Surplus.

In the future all banks in Kentucky
must comply with the statutes requir-
ing them to create and preserves their
surplus as prescribed by Law. Secre-
tary of State Bruner Friday announce
ed this ruling, after receiving from
Attorney General Breathitt a written
opinion upholding him in this ruling.
Bruner holds that each bank must
comply with the law in setting aside
one-tenth of its net earnings to create
a surplus equal to one-fifth of its CAPT.
tai stock, before any dividends are de-
clared. He also rules that after the
surplus is created by law, the bank
must keep the surplus unimpaired be-
fore dividends are declared.
In other words, if bank by any
kind of loss impairs its surplus, then
the surplus equal to one-6fth of the
capital stock must be recreated before
any dividends are declared, and that
the bank will not be permitted, as was
the case when the original surplus was
created. by putting up onetenth of it's
net earnings before declaring divi-
dends. He says this ruling became
imperative because few Of the Ken
lucky banks are using their surplus to
pay dividends and replacing the sur
plus with cne-tenth of the net earn.
