THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO
RACE

Professor Joseph L. Wiley Of Fes-
sender Academy, made speech at
Tallahassee on the occasion of the
celebration of the emancipation pro-
clamation. The speech, a most excel
lent one, is printed in full in the New
York Age of January II. The speech
covers four columns and holds out
hope and inspiration to the negro
race, and the author especially dwells
on the opportunities of the negro in
the south.
He cites the following example of
thrift, enterprise and success of mem
bers of that race that has come I'M
der his special observation:
"Sylvanus Hart of Jacksonville, who
is worth over 100000, deserves spe-
cial mention as a banker. He has
made good In the same line of finan-
cial endeavor | mention the Afro
American Insurance Company, the
Mercantile Investment Company OF
Jacksonville, Fla, and the MetrOpol-
itan Realty Company of Ocala. Geter,
Blodgett, Sumpter, Dickerson and
Hart OF Jacksonville. John Sunday OF
Pensacola and ]. d. McDuffy of Ocala,
Fla, are together worth over half
million dollars. S. F. Charles OF Pen
sacola sells shoes by the wholesale;
F. p. Gadson of Ocala, Fla, sells toys
at wholesale. He has a large store
on one of the prominent streets in the
business district, and for twenty years
has sold notions, dry goods, clothing,
uueensware, etc. His store is said to
be the largest of it's kind in the Unit
ed States owned by colored man.
George Giles, of Ocala, Fla, is one OF
the largest shippers of Sea Island cot
ton. He controls the velvet bean mar
ket and dictates the prices. All are
successful colored men, and illustrate
the truths about saving and learning
to handle money Alright"
Good men," he says, "are wanted,
and good men do not fail. They can
not be kept down. Make yourselves
the masters of the lines you have
chosen. You cannot then fail. Just
word about three men with whose
names you are familiar. Toussaint
L'Overture, the slave, rose to the
plane of Washington, in military valor
magnanimous treatment of the con-
ouered Frederick Douglass, under the
table scuffling with dog for crumbs,
rose to one of the highest positions as
a diplomat in the gift of the country.
Prof. Booker T. Washington, rising
from poverty and the drudgery of the
coal pit, looms as one of the worlds
famous men. These three characters
cultivated the essentials of life. They
all worked and studied under great
disadvantages, but they all won, be-
cause they set out to win. Others
may do likewise if they are indefati-
gable in their efforts and sincere in
their purposes"

Harry Floyd says every member of
the legislature sold out during last

too, so it must be true. Harry prom

The postmaster at Tampa must
have most peculiar system of book
keeping. From his official records
the Tampa Tribune claims that it can
prove that it pays more postage than
all the other eight publications print
ed in the city of Tampa combined in
Guiding the afternoon newspaper.
The Times in like manner claims that
it can prove from the postmaster's
official records that it pays more post
age than all the other eight publica-
tions printed in the city of Tampa
combined including the morning news
paper. Both newspapers are willing
to bet money on the proposition. 1t
is about like the Wilson-Watterson
controversy. Wilson says that he did
not authorize Mr.. Watterson or any
one else to raise money for promoting
his campaign. The Louisville editor
says that Governor Wilson not only
authorized him to do so but that he
actually raised a large amount for the
promotion of his campaign. We of
course do not know which statement
to believe as both are honorable gen
tlemen but this much we do know
that this paper the same as other
newspapers is receiving stereotype
plates free of charge which are sent
to us for the purpose of promoting
the Wilson boom

An excess of vanity brings ridicule
upon its possessor, just as an utter
lack of it inspires contempt in the
beholder. OF the two, ridicule is the
least harmful; moreover, the object
of jibes and jests always possesses
