A SELE=MADE COLORED MAN

n OLL4 -WEAOA NOAOAN4D A'@A@A
Samuel Jones, the colored far
mer who recently died at his
home near Mt. Pleasant, leaving
an estate of over $25, 1000, was a
notable illustration of a self-made
man. His industrious and up
right life, highly successful in
every way, would do cretid to
any citizen, white or colored.
Especially is it fine object
lesson, a very beacon to every
poor, ignorant black man in this
State, thai may well inspire in
him a wish at emulation-like
Jones to make the most of his
life.
The main points in the career
of this truly remarkable man,
that won him such marked suc'
cess, are so few and simple that
the humblest young colored man
in Delaware can, if he will, easily
initiate them.
Industry, thrift and integrity
were the foundation stones upon
which he builded. After years
of hard toll, saving and stern
self'denial, he managed to save
few hundred lollars-enough
to set himself up in farming as
tenant on a poor farm of 26O
acres that yielded him the first
year only 130 bushels of wheat,
but from which finally he got by
his industrious skill, 2,200 BUSH
els
Quite early in life he followed
the advice of Franklin, ''if man
would thrive, let him ask his
wife," by marrying a good, SEN
sible woman who not only bore
him 16 children, but greatly
helped him achive his later and
larger success.
While Il lad he learned to read
and write in three winters brief
schooling, and afterwards by
diligent reading added largely to
his hum BILE stock of knowledge.
The wisdom with which he and
his wise help mate trained their
children was, if possible, more
surprising than his business
sagacity. Upon the return from
college of their oldest son, he
built near his home, a school
house in which every Ninter, the
rest of the children were taught
Z by this son the plain essentials
of a common school education.
Then he insisted on his children
acquiring also habits of industry
anh thrift-all of them assisting
in the farm and other work and
being required out of the wages
he paid them to save at least 500
annually! Twelve of them are
living, all doing we'll, one son
already possessing Il comforta-
BILE bank account.
Yet, had Samuel Jones in his
young manhood been given to
drink, or crap shooting, or what
is little less vicious, wearing
dude clothing, smoking ciga-
rettes and loafing on the street
corners, like so many Of our
colored youth, all this splendid
career would have been i'm posi-,
BILE, and his life, like so many of
them, if not actually marked by
crime, would have been a mere
hand to mouth existence ending
in wretched, dependantufdage
Indeed, the wisdom shown in
his admirable life is so unusual,
that we wish the clergy of his
race all over this State, would
make it theme for their pulpits.
They could do no more effective
and useful service to their people
than by dwelling upon It's Incl.
dents, and emphasizing the hon.
orable principles that made it
a possibility.

coMMoNER COMMENTS.


The last issue Of Bryans Common

the election
"The election Of 1912 is an epoch
making event When the returns are
all tatulated we can see to what ex-
tent they show an Increase ia the
Democratic strength and how far We
are Indebted to the Republican e;:@-,ts
for the division in its ranks. We can
also see which OF the Republican can
didates is third and how far behind
he is When the facts are all known,
it win be possible to survey and dis
cuss the situation with intelligence.
At this time We know enough toreal.
lie that the magnitude Of the victory
imposes spon the Democratic party a
great responsibility
with a president elected by so
large a plurality and BY an overwhelm-
ing majority in the electoral college,
With both senate and house Demo.
cratic, the Democratic party must
come forward and realize the expeota-
tions that its promises have excited
The magnitude Of the Roosevelt con.
lingent is also spur TO action, for
the Democratic party can not turn
back from its progressive course with
SO large body Of progressives ready
to step in and take the leadership. Our
party has no choice but to go forward
even if it We're disposed to compro-
mise, and It is not likely that any dis
position to compromise viii be shown.
Gov. Wilson has conducted himself
SO admirably during the campaign
chat there is no reason to doubt his
determination to make the most Of
this victory for the party by making
the victory seryiceable to the coun
try"
