RESOLUTION OF RESPECT.

whereas as consequence of the
cisobediance of our original progeni-
tors, death has claimed our beloved
brother, DR.. G. d. Dickerson, who
ended his sojourn here below on Jan

community of an upright and depend
able citizen, and patient and effici-

father whose ambition in life was to
care for his children, and his friends
have lost one who sticketh closer than
a brother, Therefore be it resolved:

E. c. Branson, professor OF rural
economics at the State Normal school.
Athens, Ca recently addressed the
Southern Sociological congress on the
subject of negro progress. What he
had to say Is gratifying to those who
hope to see the American negro ele-
waited In education. citizenship and
ambition. If Professor Branson i. is
right. the American negro is working
out his own salvation, not in the
town. but In the country. In the
southern states In 1910 the ratio of
negro farm workers m far ahead OF
that OF negro population in general.
For instance. In South Carolina. the
negroes were IS per cent OF the popu-
lation. but 6s per cent OF the farm
workers. In Mississippi during the
last census period negro farmers In
creased at rate nearly two and one
half times greater than the rate OF
increase for negro population in gen
eral. In Georgia the difference was
even more pronounced. The drift
everywhere among the negroes OF the
South Is from the city 70 the country.

and 1850 were In way of being over
whelmed by the negroes. now show.
In some cases, n diminishing ratio.
In the South there are about one hun
dred thousand negroes engaged In
teaching. preaching. the practise OF
medicine and law and In business en-
terprises. These are, of course, up
ward-looking negfoes. But on the
farms of the South there are 1850. 600
negroes. and most OF these are look.

the southern negro is achieving new
economic status. He Is rapidly rising

that bank books and barns are more
important at present than ballot boxes.
Nearly one-fourth OF all the negro
farmers IN the South own the farms

During the last census period the

negroes owned $4,000 acres OF farm
land. but In 1910 they owned 1901, $40
acres. Negro property upon the tax
lists of Georgia now amounts in value
to s34.000.000. The facts show a

and Oklahoma: decreasing ratio in

 PAYS VISIT TO SIlAGWAY

Thos. Blyth of Evanston, Wyo and his daughter, Mrs. Keith and granddaughter, Kathryn, of Salt Lake, were round-trippers on the Jefferson yesterday and while iu Skagway were guests of pr. Keller.
 MT. Blyth is a pioneer Of Wyom- ing and has been intimately con- nected with the business and politi- cal development of it, first as a ter rttory and now as a state. Tn 1891, with Lyman Fargo, the firm Of Blyth-Fargo was formed, and a string of stores instituted in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, the largest being in Pocatello, Idaho.
 While returning to the boat, MT. Blyth was taken suddenly i'll and Dr. Gable was called to attend him. Before the vessel left MT. Blyth was resting easy and Dr. Gable said he would be all right.
 MT. Blyth's son Thomas, Jr., was q Skagway visitor on the DolDhin and father and son passed each other in queen Charlotte's sound.
