the field of manufacture, transpor-
tation and commerce, we necessar-
ily turn our attention almost ex-
clusively to agriculture. But
now under the stimulus OF this or
ganization we are starting upon
the more expanded economic stage
so necessary to our full develop
ment.
I'VE find that since our last ses-
sion more banks have been start
ed. more commercial enterprises
and stores opened, and more man
ufactories begun than any other
single year in our history. We
believe that the ownership of land,
the acquisition of an education,
the improvement of the home,
both as to its appearance and the
inner life and loyalty to the teach
ings of Christ are the foundations
upon which civilization may be
closed.
"On every moral issue we urge
our race at the ballot box to align
itself with tie forces of law and
order and civic righteousness. No
man can be permanently kept out
of place which belongs to him by
reason of his usefulness as fac
tor in the industrial life of the
community His character as
man and his ability to look upon
matters of general public and gen.
eral concern, with II vision wide
enough to protect the interests OF
all.
"We are profoundly gateful for
the interest shown in our progress
by the best element of the white
people, both North and South.
Their spoken word of cheer and
their deeds of kindness speak in
louder tones than words and have
done much to inspire us.
"In all the history of this move
ment nowhere has this feeling OF
sympathy, friendship and real
Christian expression found more
pronounced expression than here
in Little Rock-the city where
any Negro should be glad to be
counted citizen. We can hardly
find words strong enough to ex-
press our gratitude to Governor
Donaghey for his masterly address
to us, which not only evinces the
type of Christian sympathy, but to
our minds the highest type of
craftsmanship. /

citizens of Little Rock concerning

"We congratulate our race upon
the remarkable showing made by
those communities composed en-
tirely of members of our race.
Their record for ability to initiate
and maintain enterprises, to es-
tablish and enforce law and order
ard to win the respect and even
the admiration of the people OF
their State and the country is not
only a source of encouragement to
our own race, but is the finest
possible concrete argument that
the Negro is worthy of citizenship.
I'VE hope that the great frater-
nal organizations among our race
will either establish financial in
stitutions of their own or let the
millions that they own be used to
strengthen our financial institn-
tions already established. We re-
affirm our faith in wisdom, judg-
ment and purity of purpose of our
leader, Booker Il. Washington, and
believe that under his safe and
sane leadership the race will climb
step by step into full and complete
citizenship"
A petition TO Congress was read
by the same committee which read
1.-THE National Negro Business
League in twelfth annual session
do renew out petition to the Presi-
dent of the United States favoring
the bill ia pay the balance due the
depositors in the Freedman Saw
ings and Trust Company, and to

Home for aged and infirm colored
people and working girls out of the
money due the estates of the de-
ceased colored soldiers, sailors and
marines of the Civil War that can
not be paid to the individuals as
a matter of Justice" The resolu-
ton asked that the matter be re-
ferred to the President OF the Uni
ted States, and ask him to renew
his recommendation to the Sixty
seconv Congress that was made to
the sixty first, and also a copy be
SEPT to tue chairman of the CON-
mittees having charge of these

A bulletin, just issued from the
Census Bureau, shows that: Of
the whole number, 1862, 720 of
farms reported in 1910 in Alabama
there were 152,347, or fifty-eight
per cent, operated by white farm
ers and 11O,273, or AZ per cent.
by Negroes and other non-white
farmers, as compared with total
of 223, ,220 in 1900, of which 129,
l37, or So per cent. were conduct
ed by white farmers and 94,OS3,
or AZ per cent. by Negro and other
non- white. The increase in the
number of farms of white farmers
during the decade amounted to
23.21Oand in the number of farms
of Negro and other non.white
farmers to 1920. The principal
point to keep in mind in regard to
to these figures is that the colored
people in Alabama have bought
over 10000 additional farms dur
ing the past ten years, while the
white people have bought ,23,OO0
additional farms. When it is kept
in mind that the colored people of
Alabama are only about 45 per
cent. of the whole population, this
is not a bad showing by any means
Indeed, it is most interesting and
encouraging showing.
