his race to own land In that section
Of the country. He made good use of
bis opportunities in every way pos
sible.
The son imblbed the spirit of his ia
Their and began life with determine
ton to do something to aid his peo-
Pile in their struggle for advancement.
To live in the hearts of his people has
been an effort which has claimed every
minute of his time, and he has ever
been ready TO serve He has made
good in everything TO which he has
put his hands. 1t is not, therefore,
surprising that the United Order OF
Good Shepherds should take such a
prominent place in the affairs OF the
race. Mr. Chandler has given the
making of the order his personal at
tention, and 1t now operates in six
states and continues to grow. The To-
cal organizations are called lodges and
fountains.
This is one of the organizations
which are helping the race to climb to
higher things In life Eighteen miles
south of Selma, Ala, the order owns
3,100 acres of land, and 500 acres of
this land have been designated for the
widows and orphans of the order.
while the other is for increasing the
revenue of the order in order to sus-
tain these widows and orphans. Fifty
families have taken advantage of the
opportunities given them by the order
and are owning good homes. On the
land owned by the order eighty seven
buildings have been erected, including
one three story brick building, valued
at $4,000, sawmill, a gristmill and
a shingle mill.
This is new departure In fraternal
organization among the people, and al
once 1t appeals to them. Mr.. Chandler
has reached his people, and they think
much of him. He has ever been ready
to encourage any enterprise among the
people, assisting the young men and
women struggling for an education,
because he had to start at the ground
and work up. His father put him on
his own merits. believing that If boy
would make man he must win his
place and not be fed with silver
spoon. He believed In going right
down and getting it from the shoulder
or directly from the brain.
Mr.. Chandler owns a beautiful
home, two stories and we'll furnished.
on one of the best streets in Montgom-
cry, and there resides with his estima-
BILE wife and daughter They are Hap-
by, and he is spending life for and
with his people.
The success of this young man
should be an inspiration to others.
This is progressive age Of doing
things. and the man who sits down
and talks about what he is going to
be after awhile If he lives and nothing
happens viii never make much head
