enthusiastic. The plantation songs
and other melodies sung by the Hamp-
ton students We're well rendered and
highly enjoyed by the audience at both
meetings
Besides the popularity of the speak
ers and what they said, the most in
teresting feature of the meetings was
the moving pictures showing step by
step the success of John Henry, a typ
ical country boy from the time he
left his home in Kentucky until his
graduation from Hampton. The Hon
Job e. Hedges was the chief speaker

as Keen as ever dropped in on him

the race and the part he has played in
1t from the time he was one of the
forty Miners who went with the
"California or bust" crowd in 1910 in
quest of gold nuggets down to the
present time, when his race controls
more than $1,OOO.OOO of real estate in
this city.
Before the judge retired, and that
was number of years ago. he was re-

$4,000 when he married. more than
sixty years ago, and has not had dol

birth, rugged westerner by adoption,
he possesses still all the charm and
conservatism of the natives Of the City

much about Little Rock, much about

The many beautiful homes owned

splendid business houses in Ninth

these 10000 Negroes are evidence of Il
wonderful progress, Of which but few

only serves to redouble the southern
Negroes efforts.

In the state and that our race Is but
fifty years removed from slavery. and
only twenty years removed from
period when school facilities stood only
as the antonym for encouragement.
this per capita wealth is a wonderful
achievement. 1t also emphasizes the
good results of education.
To prove that our race in Little Rock
is as eager for brain wealth as 1t is for
material wealth there are seven public
schools and two colleges for higher
education In this community OF 2O,-
600 colored people there are seventy
eight teachers in the public schools
and fifty instructors in the two col
leges. There are fifteen Baptist twelve
Methodist churches and one each OF
the Roman Catholic, Congregational.
Presbyterian and Episcopal denomina-
tions to inculcate Christianity and high
moral ideals.
The race in this city is engaged in
practically every line OF business found
among the white people except bank
ing. This success is due largely be-
cause of cooperation and race pride
The colored people have $3.50 900 in
vested in business enterprises and own
tritie over 81 100000 worth Of real
estate-a very encouraging showing in
deed.
There are three lawyers. who enjoy
a splendid practice; ten physicians. who
are the equal of any other ten that
might be picked from among any other
race; three sliillful dentists and ten re-
tail merchants, not including a jeweler
nd the three very excellent drug stores
conducted by colored men.
Little Rock has the only full nedged,
active colored female real estate dealer

travels in the person OF Mrs J. S. Pan

Local Negro Business league. Mrs.
Helen Fleetwood, Mrs. Jennie Miller
and Mrs. NJ f. .Jcffries, with Mrs Pan
key, form Il quartet of energetic. intel.
liSent and successful business women.
In my more than 10000 miles trav-
eled | have only met up with two col
ored men engaged as wholesale com
mission merchants, and Little Rock
mas one Of these two. who does a busi-
ness of about 100000 annually.

and progressive men in this commu-
nifty among our people. The splendid

energies and race interest of Mr.. Bush.

WORK OF NATIONAL BAPTIST
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD
Needs of Field Workers Presented by
Secretary L. G. Jordan.

Rev. DR.. l.. G. Jordan, corresponding
secretary of the foreign mission board
Of the national Baptist convention, is
to be congratulated upon the success
of the work in the foreign field during
his administration. He is tireless
worker and has Travelled in all sections
of the country in. the interest of the
foreign mission work of the denomina-
tions from year to year.
1t is doubtful whether his equal could
be found in the denomination so far as
ambition, love for the work and ex-
perience in the many exacting details
OF missionary management are concern
ed DR. Jordan is now making an e7-
fort to raise sufficient money to meet
the needs of the workers in the foreign
field by April 10. The churches and
Sunday schools Of the denomination
throughout the Jurisdiction Of the con
vention are asked to make offerings
for missions on Easter Sunday.
In speaking of the Importance of
paying the missionaries their salaries
promptly Dr. Jordan says: "Of course
our work is too scattered to do what
of money raised yearly Think of try
ing to push work in West Africa with
three missionaries, work in South
Africa with no more than twenty work
ers, work in Central Africa with five
workers, work in East Africa with four
workers and work in the West Indies
with seven workers! At every point
there are debts and, at many, unfn-
ished houses. 1t will take 5000 this
year to adequately put our stations In
first class shape and pay our workers,
II we can get $4,000 from our Easter
rally we can greatly relieve many of
our pressing needs"
