THE COMING OF THE MOTION
PARTY.

ne views is very glad 10 welcome
to the city this morning DR.. Robert
Motion, president # Tuskegee insti-
tute, and party of well known col
ored educators who are accompany.
ing him on speech-making tour Of
the state OF Georgia.
There never was time in tie MS
tory of the South, when there was
more of reason for a better under
standing between the two races than
there is at the present moment, and
we might go Aoint further and say
that at no TIM in our history, has
there been b ter understanding be-
tween these twS peoples. This condi-
tion is largely due to just such men
as Dr.. Motion and the late Booker T.
Washington, whose mantle, the latter
is now wearing and who has proven
to be a most valuable man, occupy
ing a great position of real useful
service not only to his own people,
but to the common country!
Yet the full fruition along the line
Of real understanding between the
two races in the South has not been
reached; there are false leaders
among both Of thee races and these
men and women are always at work
with ulterior purposes in view, who
tear down where good and willing
hands have built upl
What we want to see in Georgia,
and all of the South for that matter,
is the full realization on the part of
the whole colored race, that this is
his home, just as it is our home
that his real friends and well-wishers
are the people Of the South who know
him best and appreciate him best. We
want the hand Of the colored man and
woman joined with our own in the
great task of development to which,
at the moment all Dixie is giving it's
time, its ability and its dollars, This
work, which has only just begun, is
going to be a stupeudous one, but it
coming, it sas certain as anything
can be that the South is soon to out
strip the rest Of the. nation in its vast
work Of developm1t for the reason,
pure and simple, That it has more
room for development and expansion
than is the case in any other section
OF the country and it cannot stand
still,
To equip these men and women Of
he colored race to fully reSlize their
responsibility as citizens it is neces-
sary to educate them to trades and
other fields of endeavor; thaa
by sheer force Of learning,
knew what their part is in tius mfgS
gll,cent empire we love I, calla tie
sSouth! ~
That DR.. Motion IS sloins a ere;t
Work in Tuskegee, there is no doubt
hnd that he Is safe leader of his
Aeople, he has demonstrated i'll the
rAults he has already achieved and
Wa most heartily welcome him to-
Brunswick and bespeak for fim the
kindly consideration of the people Of
this splendid city.
His is a grea undertaking; yet he
has gone at the task in the right spir-
it and that he will succeed, there can
be 10 question,
Here in Brunswick DR.. Mot)1 w:llI
ind rs good class of eolo;ed citi-
zens as he win find on the EARTH
tkev are progressive, they are large
ly law-ahiding and there is a feeling
Of complete understanding between
the two races in this community that
works so mar dto improW on. Here
also we are just about to complete one
of the handsomest school buildings
fr colored youths in the state, which
is an additional evidence of the fact
that we hold in high esteem our cit
liens of the other race.
