The term Negro or "colored peo-
pie" has no definite meaning. Neith-
er discloses nationality. These terms
have no place in the science of an
thropology. But their persistent use
with reference to persons of African
descent invites attention. The white
man tried to make a brute out of the
black man. To this end the slave
power put the cause of slavery in the
slave himself. The cause, dear
Brutus, that we are underlings, is not
in our stars but in ourselves" Ev-
erything was done to destroy the ma
uonality and hinder the growth of in
dividuality in the captive African. He
was called Negro" to characterize his
kind and condition. The WORD Ne

probrious epithet should have been ta-

1t is the strongest barrier to the in

can dwelling in America, whose long
domicile. fidelity and toll have given
him an incontestable title to the most
honorable distinction of American citi-
Zenship, writes Charles Hatfield Dick

Also "colored people" in the public

Midway between the sandy beach
at Ocean View, on the southern side
of Hampton Roads, and Norfolk,
rapidly growing southern metropolis,
there has been developed, in the heart
of rich farm-trucking region, an at
tractive Negro community, called Ii
tustown, in which all of the people
own their own homes and not a single
renter is found.
In Titustown Negroes have had the
opportunity of buying high-class prop
erty at low price, building comfort
able and attractive individual houses
on easy terms, and living happy lives
in a refined and attractive commu-
nifty.
1t was in 1901 that a commission of
ten or dozen colored men came to
Augustus T. Stroud, white lawyer
of Norfolk, who had recently gradu-
ated from college. They asked that
some land should be bought and re-
sold to Negroes for home sites The

breast, of weeping and despairing

serpents, produced Wy the devilish

jails, of the almshouses, of the asy-
lums, of. the prisons, of the scat
folds upon either bank, l do not Won
der that every thoughtful man is
prejudiced against this damned stuff
called alcohol. Intemperance cuts
down youth in its vigor, manhood in
its strength, old age in its weakness.
1t breaks the fathers heart, be-
reaves the doting mosaer, extinguish-
es natural affection, grasses conjugal

1t produces weakness, not strength

cherishes riots. 1t crowds your pen
