negro and send him back to Africa
Absurd. Impossible. More than a
billion dollars worth Of United States
real estate which he owns In his own
name In the United States is not east
ly to be taken from him. Besides, the
negro is not an African-he is an
American. African" is a misuomer
Why try to send him to a country
which Is not his own?
SO says DR.. J. R. Hawkins of North
Carolina, secretary and commissioner
Of education for the African Methodist
Episcopal church, delegate to the
general conference. at the Allen
chapel Dr.. Hawkins has made a
study of the business status of bis
race In connection with his regular
work as one OF their foremost educa-
tors.
ut probably will startle the world
when 1t realizes that we have acquir-
ed In the last 80 years over 81 900. 000,-
900 In real estate" DR.. Hawkins said.
And that Is only the beginning of
the rapid forward march which the
negro is making as a business man.
The negro could not help being bust
ness man. He was surrounded with
1t In the years of his slavery He was
taught how to drive bargain In
horses or real estate, even II his mas
ter didn't teach him how to read and
write.
There are 4e0 self-supportlng news
papers, daily and weekly, owned end
published by negroes in the United
States; 5000 physicians have been
graduated from negro and white
schools and are now practicing among
their people; 1000 lawyers have been
admitted to the bar In the United
States courts OF Justice and $50 au
thors are found among our race.
I'VE own Al schools and colleges.
representing an investment of $38 900,
900, and $45 900 900 has been spent In
church property for negroes. Negro
men own and control 81 banks which
are prosperous and flourishing, and
$650.000 has been invested in negro
Libraries. And 1t is significant that In
the southland negroes own 10000
farms on which so Years ago they toll
ed to the crack Of the slave drivers
whip.
THE negro is born American and
he feels 1t is his country. Africa has
no call for him. 1t is as fairy tale
to him. Pestilence and disease are
net uncommon in Africa, but America
nurtures him and makes him strong
and he likes 1t and intends to stay In
it. That doctrine is being taught our
1,650000 children In the public
schools.
THE negro does not ask for any
special legislation In his favor. He Is
willing to take his chance and is con
fident that he can bear his own bur.
dent as we'll as the white man. And
toward that end We are striving to
educate our ignorant poor, make
healthy the weak and to help more
negroes to cwn their own homes and
farms"

A scientist in his recent researches,
has found that the human beings most
rapid growth is in infancy. The aver
age length of baby eighteen days old,
being 2O2 inches, and during the next
fifteen days it gains II inches, and
thence forward the rate of growth
gradually diminishing until the age of
five is reached, after which the growth
is II inches per year.
Ones full height is reached at the
age of twenty-five and remains station
airy until one is fifty years old, when
it gradually decreases. Two-fifths Of
an inch is lost each year in the first ten
years after the age of fifty, one-half
inch each year up to the age Of seventy.
and between the ages of seventy and
eighty fully an inch each year.

biggest popular and electoral ma

defeated, without any exception.
