EPoCHs IN RACE PROGRESS.
Year Book Tells of Afro -Americans'
Achievements Since Emancipation.

Year Book Tells of Afro America ans
Achievements Since Emancipation.
What use has the colored race made
OF its fifty years of freedom? What
are the signs of progress? What are
the economic and social conditions that
have important meaning not only to
the race. but also to the white man?
What educational agencies are at work
for the improvement of the whole
southland?
Again. what important role is the
race playing in the drama Of agricul-
tural development? What does the
latest federal census indicate regard
ing the movement Of the Negro from
the country to the city and the rela
tive mortality of our people on the
land and in the congested districts?
What is the extent Of the influence Of
the Negro press?
These vital questions of progress and
present day welfare are strikingly an
swered in the 'iftieth anniversary edi-
has been compiled by Monroe n.
Work. who has charge of research and
records at Tuskegee institute.
Within $50 pages, bristling with
thought provoking facts. there is told
a wonderful story of the development
of the colored American during fifty
years Of freedom-years Of opportu-
nifty. struggle. perseverance and faith
in God. While figures cannot adequate
ly convey the real meaning Of the ad-
vancement of n people who have SUI
fered much and won important vic
tories. nevertheless they do indicate,
on the basis Of established facts. the
present economic. social and religious
trend Of the race.
The figures quoted in the Year Book
should interest those who are giving
money to our schools and those who
are urging men and women to invest
in character building. Publicity should
be given to the facts Of our progress
for the benefit Of the average white
man, who naturally knows little about
the Negro as an individual capable OF
development A great many regard
him as "problem" rather than as
factor in national advancement. The
facts should also be published as an
inspiration to Negro youth who are
only too prone to accept their parents
dictum. who too often say. "You never
can be nobody. nohow."

Selling Red Cross
Seals for CoodCauSe

Columbia. S. G. Nov. 16.-The
Red Cross seal campaign in this
state has taken on new impetus,
owing the fact that. as ;,nlounc-
ed last week. a special anti tuber-
culosis conference for the South
is being held in Atlanta, begin
ming Nov. 80. Vital statistics
for the whole Of South Carolina
are not available. but from such
figures as are at hand is shown
a great need for anti-tuberculosis
work throughout the state. The
national association in New
York has just made public,
through the state commission,
its figures for South Carolina.
From a partial church census it
was found that the mortality
rate from tuberculosis is l33 per
cent. This is about 3 per cent
higher than the average for the
United States. From this fact,
both the approaching conference
in Atlanta and the 1914 cam
paign for selling Red Cross seals
become doubly important. The
commission announces that up
to the present 70 agents have
been secured for 1914.

Local Talent Play
Pleased the People

THE New Minister, . the
musical play, which charmed a
Pickens audience on Tuesday
night was repeated at Liberty
on Friday evening in the audi
torium of the school building
betsre an apDreciative gather
ing of listeners.
The solos and choruses were
well received, and applause was
generously given. The audience
seemed to thorougly enjoy the
the Offering, and the thrusts CT
wit and satire were not loSC
upon them. The expected laugn
was always forthcoming.
The cast of players was nicely
balanced. and no part suffered
at the expense of another. Inc
character parts as played by the
bows were well depicted. The
work of Paul Boggs as Hezikiah
Sharp was an especially tine
Characterization, n d Coley
Seaborn played the e athletic
fan" to perfection. m
Rev. L. E. Wiggins as The
New Minister, added a sincerity
and dignity to the part that
rounded it out into a sermon
within itself. The play, which
alone is a page from life, but
slightly exaggerated, deserves a
respective nearing wherever
presented.
Miss Margaret Booker in the
leading soprano role, gave a
finished performance, and
charmed all with the dainty
sweetness and lifting melody
Of her voice. =.
The successful production of
the Cautata reflects gre a t
credit upon Miss Elinor Knight,
who coached the players, and
managed the perform ances, and
Mrs. W. M. Melton, who played
the accompaniment.
The cantata was given to
make money to buy apparatus
for the teaching of physics in
the high school, and q goodly
part of the necessary amount
was raised.

John McJunkin is confined to
his bed with fever. He has
been in bed most of the summer
with a broken leg.
Rev. J. E. Foster filled his reg
ular appointment at Pleasant
Grove last second Saturday and
Sunday, and was unanimously
elected to supply for the year Of
1915. Brother Foster has been
supply at this church for ten
years, and when he took the
church it was holding services
in the school house. By his as
sistance and good advice we have
a church now erected that is
worth one thousand dollars, with
other Improvements that Think
Brother Foster should have due
credit for. We hope the coming
year of 1915 will be the most
prosperous of all.
Many thanks for your advice,
Progressive. Your suggestion
in regard to hoS and holniny is
good, but the trouble is that we
poor, ignorant farmers have
been advised by the wise until
we do not know which to do first;
and tn IN to think that we have
been working for the longest to
put men in office who would
make remedies and laws for us
to abide by. and now you say
they seem to have found none
and have come back and quit.
That won't do, for if we don't
get help when we need it we will
not very want it after we get
our hogs and hominy raised.
