The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1912-04-20

Under the heading, "Interesting
People," one of our daily contempt
raries tells a story that is a complete
REPUTATION of several allegations of the
shortcomings of the Afro-American,
viz: ~ -5| >.~~
James Elliott, an Afro-American, be-
lieved by his relatives to have been
about 101 years old, died short time
ago at his home in Binghamton, N. Y.
He was a slave on plantation near
Dundee, N. c., when the Civil war
broke out He escaped by the "un-
derground railroad" and made his
way to Great Bend, Is miles east of
Binghamton, which was the nearest
station on the route to Canada at that
time. He did not attempt to go far
Their. He soon began to acquire
property At the age of 60 years he
began to learn to read and write and
became a lover of good books. He
amassed a considerable fortune, which
was invested mostly in real estate"
AS a matter of fact, there is very
little, if any, difference between the
Afro-Americans and whites, except in
the matter of oppor tunity given to the
Afro-Americans, when it comes to the
making good" by the latter. Give
the Afro-American fair, equal
chance and he will show that he is
made out of the very same stuff that
all other men are made of.
