RICHMOND PICTURED AS
THRIFTY BUSINESS CENTER
Southern City Sets Good Example.
Corporation Benefits Both Races.

Richmond has been justly noted and
now enjoys an enviable reputatio for
the progress Of its colored people, says
the Richmond (Va.) Planet. Leading
white men of responsibility and wealth
never tire Of pointing with pride at the
thrift and business ability shown by
our people here.
They encourage them in their vari-
Gus enterprises and look with favor
upon their efforts to support each other
in business just as they cooperate with
each other in their churches. This Is
due to the fact that in cooperating
with each other they make better citi-
zens and lift the standard Of the race
to higher level.
1t makes, too, for satisfied electo-
rate, and this tends materially to ad-
vance the financial, industrial and COM
mercial interests of this community.
The money remains at home, and all
parties to the contract are benefited.
While the work of colored concerns
and their trade and patronage are con-
fined almost exclusively to colored peo-
pie, still white people frequently en-
courage these racial enterprises by CIV
ing them work to do.
If other communities would follow
the example Of most Of the farseeine
colored business men Of Richmond sim.
liar results would follow the adoption
Of this race patronizing policy, which
policy is cordially approved by every
progressive southerner in this broad
land Of Ours

Americans. With the efficient assist
ance of Professor w. 81. Stimson,
man of exceptional qualifications FOR
educational work, and the splendid
spirit Of cooperation which is being
exhibited by the faculty, President Nc
Crorey Is most fortunate.
The past year was decidedly year
of advancement for the institution,
brought about largely on account OF
raising the curriculum by the addition
Of one year more in the college de
partment and preparatory school, re-
spectively. Another pertinent feature
Of the events of the year was the dedi-
eating Of the new Carnegie library
building, costing $4,000, with an en-
dowment fund Of $12,5O0.
The school year of 1928 finds the
new library building stocked with
we'll selected collection Of books tabu-
lated and kept by the most improved
system of modern library methods and
reflects deserved credit upon the uni
versity. The reading room is another
distinct feature and up to the standard.
In this building the Young Mems
Christian association has a well ap-
pointed assembly room, and an excel
lent piano has been recently added to
the new appurtenances of this inspir-
ing department Of the school. Being
man with progressive ideas, yet ju-
dicious, President McCrorey has done
wonderful things for Biddle university.
For q number Of years he realized that
the institution was in need Of a good
lighting system and an equipment for
its Industrial department-this in ad-
dition to what has been mentioned as
q material asset, and an electric plant
has been installed on the campus at a
cost Of $4,000.
Today, as one strolls over the grounds
at night through the beautiful campus
with its stately oaks, one will find the
entire campus and building glowingly
lighted with electricity generated and
controlled by the institution. The pres
ident keeps In touch with every detail
of the work, and the result Is that
there soon Is to be installed In the in
dustrial building $1,000 worth Of ma
chinery, which consists Of a planer,
universal wood worker and rip saw.
These will also be run by the electric
plant engine.
The printing Office Is also feeling the
effect Of the rehabilitating movement.
New type and other office accessories
and withal first class equipment neces-
sary for a modern printing plant are In
process Of being installed, and a motor
connected with electric plant will fur
nish power for this department.
The young men in the shoe shop and
likewise the tailor shop are very much
elated over the installation Of large
number Of appliances peculiar to their
departments and making these depart
ments equal to the best among colored
institutions for class work. With more
than 200 students matriculating this
academic year, the campus is scene
Of animation.

Stephen s. Wise, and the Universalist
Church of the Divine Paternity, Of
which the Rev. Frank o. Hall Is the
pastor. The proclamation of emanci-
patton was read by DR.. Wise, who
also said:
"Education has not demoralized the
Negro. He has shown a veritable pas
sion for 1t, as witnessed by the extraor-
binary decrease In Negro illiteracy
within half century. The states
have not fairly and adequately provid-
ed educational opportunities for the
Negro.
1--WE may deny justice to the Negro,
we may withhold from him elementary
political rights, we may scourge and
stripe him, we may hang and burn
him, but in the end the white race
will suffer most. No race can violate
the moral law with impunity. No race
can for years and generations pursue
courses that are unjust without mutt
lating Its own moral nature and sink
ing to q lowered level Of life"
