DR.. Booker T. Washington In an adj

out that the buyers Of farm products

whether the goods came from the
hands Of a white or colored man He
also pointed out that the South and
West, with more than 27O,OOO,0OO
acres of unused lands, offer a welcome
to the farmer, regardless of nationali-
ty, and said

resources of our country. If we let
these golden opportunities slip from
us IA this generation I fear they will
never come to US in a like degree
again.
If the white man can secure wealth
and happiness by owning and operat-
ing a coal mine, brickyard Or lime
kiln, why may not more Negroes dc
the same thing?"
DR.. Washington also said Negroes
should organize and specialize He
suggested local organizations to be
affiliated with state bodies.
Watt Terry, a Negro of Brockton

he started in the real estate business
and increased his capital from Is
cents to $500,OOO
Il found no barrier against me be-

said. Il attribute my success to the

Back From Mexico.

Dave Sasenbery returned this week
from stay of four months in southern
Mexico. Most of his time was spent
in the section south Of the City Of
Mexico, where Joe Wilkinson is now
located. Dave says he enjoyed the
trip immensely and states that the fu-
ture Of that country cannot help being
bright. The climate is ideal and the
soil such that any and all crops grow
with an abundant yield. He looks as
though the stay had agreed with him.
Americans, according to Mr.. Sasenbery,
are received with open arms in that
part Of the republic and the people are
a most hospitable class. While away
he made a trip to Central America and
during his stay there ate meal at one
of the local hotels which for a while
promised to be as costly as dinner at
hector's. Dave filed up on the hot
native dishes and when ready to de-
