would not be IL the people would just
take the time to understand each
other. 1t must be recognized that
each are human beings made IN the
image of God, and that color IS not
manhood. In order that we may
move along together in this world l
must recognize the manhood rights
of the white man and he must recog-
nize the manhood rights OF the Negro
This is being done right along, and
/ find that in many cases the white
man is willing to extend a helping
hand to the black man and the white
woman to her sister in black, and do
ing it with a desire to help a human
being and not as a child or something
superman. I have used that word
which heard some one also use, and
don't know whether or not l am
right or wrong.
In this city two remarkable women
have joined hands for the purpose OF
helping the struggling boys and girls,
and even those whose parents are not
able to make them thinkers, by plac-
ing within their reach education. Mr..
c. o. Orr, a wealthy white woman OF
the city with high standing, and Mrs.
Carrie A. Tuggle, a poor woman OF
my race with a heart as big as the
moon, and with a vision as broad as
all the earth. A long tine ago, Mrs.
Tuggle dedicated her life to the up
lift work of her boys and girls, and
she has a host of them at this school,
pay or no pay they are never turned
away, and Mrs. c. P. Orr has found
a place wherein she can make con-
tribution to this human uplift work,
without getting black, and now they
are working together side by side.
One night at Tuggle Institute there
was a cry of FIRE, and before it could
be realized, the buildings were down
and several houses in the neighbor-
hood were destroyed. In this fre two
lives were lost, boys who were STU
dents. This FIRE certainly brought the
white people to the rescue. Clothing.
shoes and food were furnished in
abundance, and shelter provided for
the children out of doors. Bright and
early Mrs. Orr was on hand, and
worked like a real missionary. Her
wealth was placed where'i could do
good. 1t was then that she brought
the work to the attention Of the
thinking white people.
They have decided that there shall
be a greater Tuggle Institute, and to
that end they are working. More
land has been purchased, money rais-
ed among the white people for build
ings. They became interested in the
project and the work such persons
as Mrs. C. J. Sharpe, Mrs. James
Bawron, Mrs. John B. Reed, Mrs. Lucy
Dickerson, Mrs. DR.. Frazier, Judge
w. E. Forta, Louis Pizitz, James
Weatherly. These and many others
are interested, and the work will go
on.
Now, you know Mrs. Tuggle for
have told you about her before.
She is indeed a remarkable woman,
and is doing things. She is not a
mere gush of wind blowing without
a place to go. But she is devoting
her life to the training OF the youth
and helping women. How many
women have been saved through her
1t will take eternity to tell,
and then / think eternity would say
her work cannot be estimated. She
will live on and on in the hearts
her people. as we'll as other people.
She is known in this section OF the
country as "Old Lady," and she seems
10 enjoy the distinction.

Hudson, who is an educated minister
in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and one of the finest plumbers in this
country. He is much in demand and
is doing his work we'll. He is pointing
the way, and right by his side is his
wife.
Perhaps you will be surprised to
know that my bed mate was the Su-
preme Worthy Counsellor, Ernest G.
Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind. He
is the direct successor to General
Joseph L. Jones, a great man, and
who is at the head of the Central
Regalia Company. In the events OF
things, there was a change and lid

tired to his business life am not

that this young man is making

work. AS he is going now, he win

is doing excellent work. / find that
