Winton, N. C.-Never before In the

an awakening along educational and
economic lines as ut the present

Anthony Brown, eighty-6ve years
old and in point Of service the Oldest

According to the Post Dispatch, Mr..

the st. Louis Evening Post in 1873, q

When asked how he was celebrating

He recalled that no one who was In

Of the race, DR.. @. 8. Brown, president
of the Lott Carey foreign mission con-
vention.
He launched out here with $40. do
mated by the late DR.. Topper, founder
of Shaw university. Today this insti-
tuition is regarded by both races In
this section as prime factor In the
present friendly relations which exist
between the white and colored people
Of this section.
This institution held its quarto cen
tennial celebration in 1912, and hun
dreds Of successful farmers were pres
ent and gave their approval Of the in
stitution's influence and what 1t has
caused them to accomplish. Interest
ing statistics were given, showing the
remarkable progress of the farmer,
caused by the dissemination Of ideas
that are now seen in a concrete man
ner.
DR.. Brown keeps in touch with the
farmers In this section Of North Caro-
lima. The students and graduates Of
the institute are doing effective work
in many parts Of the country and es-
pecially so In this state and In Vir-
ginia.
The present facilities Of the institute
are taxed by the large number Of boys
and girls from rural districts. There
are also many students from Virginia
and other states. Because Of this sane
and progressive institution being VI
tai factor in the activities Of hundreds
Of our people DR.. Brown is now the
cynosure Of the better element Of both
races In every section. Special efforts
are being put forth to make 1t possible
for DR.. Brown to carry into effect his
plans for the further advancement Of
the masses in the rural districts.
Having started with only $40, the
present movement Is remarkable, and
many Of the leading white people In
North Carolina acclaim that this Is a
= real evidence of the Negroes ability to
manage large affairs judiciously, COM
prehensively and successfully.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
institution has made this model COM

that affect community life IL not in evi.
dence here The young people take
pride in making rural life really at
tractive and helpful. 1t can be seen
that DR.. Brown is doing a great work
Of uplift.
One must travel in number Of coun-

association inspired him to the extent
that after his graduation from Way
land in the class Of 1891 he entered
Howard University Medical school,
from which he graduated In 1895.
An inspiring feature Of the career of
Dr.. Laycock is that as soon as he
graduated from the Medical school
he was offered position on the stan
of the same institution from which he
had received his inspiration, the Chill
dren's Seashore House, Atlantic City,
N. j. Here he distinguished himself,
but decided, to return south and work
among his own people. He began his
practice In this city Nov. IA, 1896, and
today he is regarded by the medical
profession as one Of the most skillful
physicians in this section Of the coun-
try. His exceptional work proves his
ability.
He has established precedent among
the physicians Of his race in this sec
ton and met a peculiar need Of the
people here by erecting a thoroughly
modern and convenient structure TOR
the practice Of his profession. Bis
residence is combined with his Office.
He has helped a number Of young
men and women in their efforts to bet.

WHITMAN ON THE PROBLEM.

New York District Attorney.
Two thousand people. Of whom at
least 80 per cent were colored. attend
ed the meeting at Young's casino. in
New York, Sunday afternoon, Jan. IL,
held under the auspices of the Nation
al Association For the Advancement
Of Colored People. Pressing public
duties prevented Charles s. Whitman,
district attorney for New York. from
being. present The speech which he
had prepared was read by the Rev. A.
Clayton Powell, D. D., pastor Of the
Abyssinian Baptist church.
Other speakers were DR.. w. e. B.
Du Bots, editor of the Crisis Magazine
and director Of publicity and research
of the National association; Mrs. A.
w. Hunton, special worker for the Y.
M. G. A.; Joel e. Spingarn, formerly
professor of comparative languages at
Columbia university and. now chair
man Of the vigilance committee which
is the New York branch of the Ma
tional association, and Professor VIII
liam Pickens Of Talladega college.
Bishop Alexander Walters presided.
In the address of District Attorney
Charles 8. Whitman. read by DR.. A.
Clayton Powell, that official said that
the oppressor, sometimes in ignorance,
exercising the power which is his as a
result Of circumstances, for which he
may not always have been held re-
sponsible, often as much the victim of
conditions, environment and tradition
as the oppressed, In time, by the very
nature Of things, has become crea-
ture, in mind and body, lower and
weaker than the object Of his oppres-
sion.
Negro slavery was a menace to the
white man. That its continued ex-
istence must have caused a deteriora-
ton Of the fiber, mental, moral and
even physical, of great people is, he
believes. now apparent to all. IRE
spective Of the events Immediately fol-
lowing the war and the federal legis-
lation Of the reconstruction days. all
familiar with American history must
agree that the emancipation Of the
slave was an even greater boon to the
white man than 1t was to the black.
1t was the white man who made the
Negro a slave. 1t was the white man
that was responsible for the being
which 250 years Of unrequited toll had
made him. 1t was the white man
who, by the very act Of emancipation,
deprived him Of whatever hep. COM
fort or protection the old system had
offered him. It was the white man
who declared him to be citizen and
an equal, having given him no oppor-
tunity to prepare himself for equality
or for citizenship.
OF course the emancipation was
righteous act, and Of course its bene-
fits, moral and in the end material. to
the white race are so obvious that
they admit Of no discussion. but the
Immediate gain or advantage to vast
numbers of the colored race is not so
obvious. The statistics of crime in
this country fail to show that the
members Of our colored population are
predisposed to crime. The percentage
Of law violators is not larger among
the native black men than among the
native white men, Notwithstanding
the fact that the average opportunity
to better their condition is greater in
the case of the white men born in
New York than it is in the case Of the
black men born in New York.

Bruce on Heroism Of coIored Soldiers
President John Edward Bruce of the
Negro Society For Historical Re-
search, Yonkers, N. Y, very aptly calls
attention to the fact that in the Mas
sachusetts Historical society several
years ago there was exhibited a silk
dag bearing the device Of a pine tree
and "buck," with the initials u. H"
and &c. W." over a scroll, on which
appear the words "The Bucks of
America" This relic had been care
fully preserved as the flag presented
by Governor Hancock to a company
Of Negro soldiers bearing that name
which served with distinction in the
