negro of his time; he was a credit
to the South, and the white people
of lhe South very earnestly and
properly. have shown their appre-
ciatian OF his services. His place
as famous negro is permanent,
for the reason that his time and
talents were devoted to the uplift
OF his race, and not to the self
advancement of negro politi-
clan; and for this reason. the
white should, and do. appre ciate
his worth as man. There is no
black man living to-day, who
