THE NEW
YEAR

with the tide of human progress.
But human races do not drift far
or long in this world. Oblivion
soon overtakes those who do not
exert themselves and become po-
tent force for good in the worlds
civilization, whether individuals.
races or nations. In the next fifty
years the Negro is called upon to
do most important work. Our
general conditions at present are
humble and lowly, and not even
medium in comparison with those
of other races in America who are
in touch with the tide of human
progress. By self-assertion and
self-improvement we are now being
called upon to make the future
bright and secure. Many recent
events plainly indicate that we are
being left entirely to our own re
sponsibility, and that we shall rise
or fall upon the exercise of our own
genius. We are face to face with
the most trying demands of the
worlds stern realities and the Ne
gro's highest and most sober quail
tiles are now called upon to meet
! the conditions through which we
must pass. Incidence and vice are
the two greatest dangers that men
ace us. With them overcome. we
have qualities and virtues to COM
pete with the balance of humanity.
We are slowly gaining foothold
in the industrial and commercial
world. Negro brains and Negro
genius are beginning to indicate
the glorious possibilities of vast
indispensable future in the world
of letters and art. We have Negro
soldiers of glorious promise. But
with all of our prospects, we are
confronted and burdened with a
racial prejudice that must be beat
en- down and overcome. 1t feeds.
upon our vices and glories in our
Incidence, but every high and no
BILE achievement of ours is thrust
at its most vital parts. To a Ne
groes of America we would say that
the most vital duty of the coming
year and the present hour is an
unending crusade against our own
great weaknesses, for with them
removed our future successes can
not be dimmed or stayed. Let vice
and cirme and Incidence and mac
ton and every form of worthless
ness existent among us be no longer
spared because of our sorry past or
for any other reason, but let the
good of our race and the glory of
God start us and keep us upon "A
course that shall strengthen and
increase our virtues until the twen-
tieth century Negro shall see the
buried glories of the patriarchs re-
turning to his hand.

Washington, D. G, Dec. IS
There was net decrease of five
officers and a net increase of a, 455
enlisted men in the authorized
strength of the regular army last
year. General Andrews observed
that regiments serving in the Uni
ted States and having the lowest
percentages of desertions last year
were the Tenth Cavalry and the
Twenty-ffth Infantry, both colored
organizations, which showed de-
sertions of 1.52 and 1.60 per cent.
The Tenth Cavalry has been one
of the two regiments having the
lowest percentage of desertions
for the past three years.

Next Thursday is the beginning
of the new year, 1913. There is
nothing important in the beginning
or ending of a new year. the occa-
sion only serves for a general re-
view of human experiences and
human achievements. In the gen
eral plan of the universe, time goes
on. marked only by days and
seasons, all other chronology being
history and mark their commercial
intercourse. We live apparently
without regard for time, but with
every regard for worldly condi-
tions, and thus the life and the
acts of every human being are just
as important to the general pur-
poses of the world as those of any
other human being. This is why
thoughtful men and women, the
advisers of humanity, grow serious
and urge every mortal to spend his
life always for the best. Among
the millions and millions of created
beings, an individual seems to be
an insignificant part, but after all
he is an actual and considerable
part of the whole. and must leave
some mark upon the conditions
into which he was born. Life must
be purposeful and intended for i'm
provement. Everything about us
denotes that it is not for pastime or
waste. The paths of individuals.
races or nations should be ever up
ward. The worlds history becomes
higher and better. More than one
hundred years ago, when the nine
teenth century began, the negro
race in America was in slavery and
hardly dreamed of the possibility
of emancipation. AT the close OF
the century slavery was almost IA
tradition, and by far the greater
portion of the race knows OF its
baneful curse only through the
chronicles of history, the strange
accounts of the elder people, or the
marks and sears of lowly condi-
tions which the dread institution
left behind. In the fifty years that
have passed since emancipation a
new Negro race has come upon the
plane of action, along with a new
Caucasion race, and to us all the
present is far removed from the
generation gone before. But the
Negro of the slavery day was made
of GOOD stuff or else we would not
have made the improvement which
he know we have made.
And Just so upon all depends
the strength, the worth and the
ability of the American Negro OF
the present century and the distant
future. and none can tell but that
we may influence the future of the
Negro race throughout the world
In the past fifty years, to great
extent. we have merely drifted

Montgomery, Ala Sometimes
truth is stranger than fiction, but
not often. Sometimes man
wakes up in the morning to find
himself famous, but there are not
many Lord Byrons, or men with
the inventive genius of Edison.
But it is not often that colored
mar languished in Jail for twenty
four years is paroied, and goes
home and finds himself the poss-
essor of snug fortune. Such is
the case with Albert Kelley, of
Colbert county, who was paIoled
by Governoo O'Neal IA few days
ago. Kelley was sent up in 1889
to serve life imprisoL ment for
murder, and after twenty. four
years of faithful service to the
state he was given his freedom.
Before his conviction Kelley in
vested few dollars in some Bir-
mingham property, when the Mag
ic City was btt small village.
Now his property is worth between
$4,000 and $4,000.
