e. church Sunday afternoon
Register Napier was introduced by
DIR. Ernest Lyon, who described him
as zone Of TCmeSscc's foremost citi-
zens."
In the course Of his address Mr.
Napier said that the So per cent. Of
he farm work In the South was done
by cOlorcd men, and that the major
portion Of the cotton crop was raised
by the race.
MANY of us do not stop to think,
of the fact that the Negro is the
South's greatest asset. = The bulk of
the cotton crop Is raised by us, white
men making great profits by selling
this crop to The manufacturers, and
they, ri turn, making clothing for
the world. In every branch Of indus
try YOU can see the Negroes hand He
has been in everything from the bat
tie of Bunker Hill down to the discov-
cry of the North Pole save one-the
deplorable Titanic disaster"
Speaking of President Taft, he said
President Taft has proven himself a
TREND Of the race. What President
has spoken on against Lnching, how
ever great the prOvocation, as he has?
What President has let the world
know that he opposed tisfranrhf5e-
ment, as he did when they we're try
ing to disfranchise YOU in Maryland
and what President has. on the advice
of reputable Colored men refused TO
appoint man justice Of the United
States Supreme Court as he did in
the case of Judge look. who rendered
a decision npholding jimcrow cars?
president Taft may have done
some things that YOU and did not
agree with. but there Isl no chief exc
cutiVe who had been more sympa-
thetlc in his attitude for the race
than has Mr.. Taft, and certainly none
that could be approached so easily.
