Usher of $50 Broadway, a campaign
to raise $4,000 for increasing the
equipment of the Slater Industrial
School for Negroes at Winston Salem,
N. c., has spread to New York.
A letter sent out by William A. Blair,
vice president and cashier of the Peo-
pies National bank, Winston Salem,
says:
THE influence Of the school has
eliminated every vestige of race fric-
ton in the entire vicinity. The insti-
tuition is not an experiment but a
splendid reality, being the most i'm
portant one in the entire South for
colored people, save Tuskegee and
Hampton.-New York Sun.

Most of the so-called chicory now
being used in Italy is made of dried
figs. It is said that dried figs are at
least as good for this purpose as chic

action OF the Negro he has received
the encouragement, and assistance OF
the white people.
I'm concluding my remarks. l wish
to exhort all, especially those VINO
have achieved these new honors, that
at bottom and as the basis OF all lire
and progress must rest the religion OF
the Lord Jesus Christ. Except we
eliminate all deceit and selflshness
and get right down to the good OLD
way and not only say we are willing
to do so, but actually treat every man
as we would like to be treated, there
is no way to escape friction and dis
ruption.
II hope the day has dawned when
every member OF my race will see the
wisdom Of being upright, honest, re-
liable and intelligent so that he will
have the respect and confidence of the
better element Of all races. If we are
to play the important role in the In
dustrial aud economic development OF
our state and country which 1t is pos
sible for us to do, we must learn to be
more dependable; for labor that IS
nondependable, that cannot be relied
on, is certain to be replaced by other
and more reliable labor. When all
men shall have reached the point that
they will quit trying to deceive each
other and remember that honesty Is
the best policy, we will then be on
the road to a better mutual under
standing and therefore to a better ra
cial relationship Let this occasion
be all incentive to all for higher
faith IN the ultimate outcome of man
kind"
