In connection with the meeting Of
the National Negro Business league,
at Boston, the New York Post pub
fishes some figures relative to the
commercial progress of the Negro dur
ing the last Is years. In 1900 there
we're in this country 10000 Negro bust
ness enterprises; in 1915 over $4,000.
In 1900 Negroes operated two banks;
1915, over fifty. In 1900 there were
10000 Negro retail merchants; 1915,
ove $4,000. During the same period
the value of farm property held by
Negroes has increased proportionate-
ly. The value of domestic animals adj
vanced from $S5, 000, 900 to $177, 000,-
900; poultry, $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900;
implements and machinery, s1S,500, 900
to $685. SOC, 900; land and buildings, $685.
600, 900 to S273, SOC, 900. The percent
age of increase ranges from sc per
cent to 1913.
Much of this progress is credited to

laid on such courses as blacksmithing,

fit the student for Immediately re-
munerative employment. In his ad-

Despite lynching in the South, which
is an expression of community law
lessness rather than Negro antagon'
ism, there is reason to believe that
prejudice against the Negro is dying
out. When the Negro exposition was
held at Richmond, Va, a short time
ago,t the newspapers of that city warm
ly supported the undertaking, urging
white people to attend, and there
were thousands of white visitors. Al
