MEMBER THE RAGE

Prof. George III. Mays, Jr., field
secretary for the Ocala knitting
Mills, of Ocala, Fla. closed his en-
gagement in Pensacola by delivering
one of the strongest and most sensi-
BILE addresses ever made by colored
speaker in this city at the Mt. Olive
Baptist church.
Prof. Mays drove home to the large
audience, composed of some OF the
best coIored people. the urgent neces-
sity for ever negro supporting to the
last ditch every move made by Amer
lea to crush autocracy and injustice
of all kinds. He urged his people to
join heartily into the Red Cross
work and the Thrift movement fos-
tered by those who in the past have
proven their loyalty and devotion to
humanitarian uplift.
The speaker in no uncertain terms
affirmed his strong belief that the
South is the best place for his people,
and the real broad-minded and fair
Southern white man his best friend.
To prove this statement Mays cited
figures which showed that the negro
up to 1913, had accumulated land and
buildings to the extent of $273 .601, :
665. He also proved that the negro
had by hard and patient effort and
through the assistance of the COM
petent advice of his ministers and
doctors, improved his general living
conditions and his business enter
prises.
Prof. Mays closed his mastery plea
by urging every negro to make 1913
a great year in plotting out malice
and jealousy. By paying their poll
tax. and all other honest debts. and
finally by doing the common things,
uncommonly well, for all labor is
honorable when happily and eff
GENTLY done. "Only in this way can
we as race expect to meet the
new economic and industrial condi-
tions which are sure to come after
the war. When the great call IS
made for men and more men. let us,
yes all of us, respond as we have re-
sponded in the past, keeping ever in
mind as Christ died to make men
holy, let US, all of us die to make
men Free"
