 Several years ago Che late Booker .T Washington and che stroller spent from DO o'cloc, at might until t hc next morning m discussing ways and means for thc elevation .of thc coIorcd race. They were uc- .upyiur tuc same upper berth iu 90 sleeping c1r and che Stroller was urNt Che vu,I and as he was m- able Co WOO Natures sweet rgsturcr Hc saw Co it that his bcrthmotc also krpt awake. for his suor.ug when l.Iccp. was not Christmas olrru.s .r was between a.I5 o'clock and Mobile. Alabama. that they arrived lac thc conclusion chat che only way .to a.d Che culorcd man u living an .upr.eht uIc was to keep him .u a country where Che hogs couId ou-- rum him. and as Che razor-baoks ut .hc south are che only hogs tha. cou do chat. it was agreed chat che s1uth was Che place for him. Uar- .me reached that conclusion Mr. Washington. so long as he lived. and .thc Stroller. so long as hc remained .m tac south. never lost au oppor mty for popuIorf.ue thc slogan asug Wib tbc sou,u" among the sons and daughters ot Ham.

 On hc whole. che saudhiucu arc .a hu-abdue class aside from chicken and watcrmrIou a.oaI.us The men being mostly preachers their wives "suppo.g' che families by doing Che uciehborbood washing and "cboppus out che weeds.
