About 200 men were enrolled for both

nation, Attorney w. r. Morris spoke
for Company D. Both speeches pledged
the loyalty of Negro citizens. Resolu-
tions of thanks to Gov. Burnquist, who
authorized the formation of the 18th

Chas. Sumner Smith and unanimously
adopted. Capt. Jose H. Sherwood Of

The speech of Maj. w. A. Curtis was
an inspiration to every one. He told
Of the merits of Negro soldiers and
the criticism received because Of the
appointment of Negro captains. His
promise to raise the Battalion to
Regiment officered by men of our race
was a source of welcome information
to all present. Maj. Curtis in plain
words defended the dignity of the
Home Guards and explained the neces-
sites as well as aims and objects of
the organization. He received hearty
applause from his hearers and made
for himself many friends and several
recruits for the guard among those
who had come without intending to
take active part, although interested
in the welfare Of the organization.

of people who have been enormously
looked upon for the past fifty years
as the greatest problem with which
the American people have had to con-
tend.
The reason the Negro problem as
sumes such large proportions in this
country is because the white people
as a whole know-but don't know they
know-so little about the Negro. Very
few have an adequate comprehension
of Negro characteristics, most all hav-
ing accepted the unfavorabe impres.
sion created by newspaper reports of
the criminal class, and from the pub
lie and private utterances of those
who are filled with blind and un.
reasoning race prejudice. know
that few have any actual knowledge
Of Negro life and real living in their
homes, churches and social inter-
course; especially OF their individual
hopes and fears, of opportunities de-
MED them. of temptations besetting
them, of prejudices they encounter.
Of victories they achieve. 1t Is, there.
fore, obvious that the American white
people have no intelligent insight in.
to Negro sociology, and it is reason
able to assume that apart from the an
nual visit of the Educational mendi-
cant-by that mean the few Negroes
who represent the fake or sham insti-
tutions Of learning-and the Clerical
Begger (and fortunately we have but
few of them in this community, as we
are fast learning to support our minis
ters by our personal contributions,)
the essential facts Of Negro life are
little known to the great mass Of
White people as they were fifty years
ago. Few demands are ever made,
are sought, as you seek this one to-
day, to know the Negro as a freeman
and as citizen of our republican
commonwealth. He has rights which
are denied, as well as wrongs which
have gone unredressed, and though
he possess many undesirable traits
that environment has accentuated,
nevertheless, his acknowledged exam.
plars have not all been saints, nor are
the white people of this country alto
gether blameless for existing racial
conditions.
The error most commonly made by
those who consider the Negroes at
all is that they are all alike. No
thought Is given by the majority of the
people to the fac! that the Negro
race is differentiating and should
be considered by classes, as any other
race, and not as whole.
There are some who recognize that
there are intelligent and well be-
haved Negroes. But>it Is doubtful IL
those who recognize the existence Of
some differentiation realize to what
distinct and widely separate classes 1t
has developed. The better elements
have risen higher than people ap-
preciate generally. This evolution pro-
