when we opened our property
at Abingdon last June we had S47
lots Of which all but So are sold and
the fact that ~ homes are already
constructed proved that those who
buy lots intend to build az soon as
possible.
One OF the outstanding features
of Abingdon's popularity It attribu-
ted to the many modern conyen-
fences, including streets, sidewalks,
water, sewer and electricity, together
with the convenience Of schools,
churches and stores. The lots re-
naming unsold comprise some of
the most choice locations which
have just lately been improved and
we are sure that within q very
short time the opportunities which
now exist at Abingdon will have

I. j RICE FINDS
BUSINESS IS
BOOMING

turns to .. c. After Survey

Frederick ]. Rice, president of
the Guaranty Savings Bank, has
returned to Washington after a
business trip that included a visit
to several Of the financial centers
Of the country. Mr.. Rice spoke
cheerfully of the trend of bust
ness a. he found it reflected in
conditions in New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia. He said:
No Cessation.
"There has been no cessation in

every indication Of trade continues
to point to fair weather. Banks

Is an indication that the bankers
in general soon will adopt q more
liberal attitude toward loans.
Zone encouraging feature of the
situation Is the large number of
savings accounts on deposit. Per-

of the country, has this branch Of
the banking industry so interested

crease. In many of the large cities
huge skyscrapers recently have been
finished or are in the course OF
building. Another pleasing feature
Of the outlook is desire on the
part OF the working classes to own
their own homes. The home owner
makes satisfied citizen, and this
tendency speaks well for the future

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF GUN

While hunting last Sunday
morning near the w. II. Fergu.
son home south Of town, Donald
McCready, II years old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. McCready
was accidently shot and seri-
ously injured. He had just
borrowed the shot gun a few
minutes before the accident from
Mr.. Ferguson and while reach

had leaned the gun against the

thought that when he stepped
on the running board the spring

Of the gun to slide along the

lied man in maintaining his civilized
existence" And last: THE Native
is not a savage. Even before the
whites came to South Africa the
Bantu lived in social order under
political system in which the princi-
pies of constitutionalism were clearly
recognized"
With this and other clear state
ments of the equality of the black
man with the white, the writer pro-
ceeds to discuss the relation between
the two races in South Africa. He
makes it clear to us why white men
see red when they view the mating
OF white woman and colored man.
The white mans instinct of sexual
jealousy is aroused. The male should
win and hold the female, and this in
stinct makes the white man resent
the entrance into the field Of a dis
similar race. This racial pride is
growing among the Bantus as well.
General education accentuates race
pride rather than diminishes it. And
yet, It IS not enough to rely upon to
keep the races apart and the writer
ends with scheme for complete sep
aration Of the races in South Africa.
He would have certain sections given
over wholly to the Natives and others
wholly. or almost wholly, to the
Europeans. Natives would only own
land in their own sections. Thus
parallel civilizations would grow I'D.
and friction be lessened.
This has been many a mans dream.
but when we look at our own Pueblo
Indians today, we cannot believe Il
will work out we'll in South Africa.
There is one human quality upon
which we can always count, cupidity.
The whites in South Africa would
take the land from the Natives lust
as soon as it was worth their while,
provided the whites remained in the
ascendant. And the Negroes, like our
Indians, would be left to die.
One feels like throwing up ones
hands when this admirable little vol
ume is finished. Is there no solution
to the problem of white and black
living together Must one race be
swallowed up by the other race, or
will humanity learn something from
experience? This hast seems unlikely.
so which race will be swallowed up?

he wants to see of the inside of jails.
To avoid the experience Of studying
from the inside, Johnson borrowed
SIP from Sheriff Maggie of New York,
to whom he had surrendered under a
contempt charge. Johnson still owed
$500 to Barney Gerard, a theatrical
man, who had obtained judgment for
$1,000 for breach Of contract John
son had failed to fulfill engagements
with Gerard's troupe.
Failing to pay the final $500, john
son was adjudged to be in contempt.
He come" in after scurrying busily
to raise the money and reported that
he still lacked SIP for the amount.
Nageps generosity just saved him
from a night in the alimony club.

SAMUEL A. ELIOT PAYS TRIB-
UTE TO ARMSTRONG
Hollis B. FrisseI is Remembered a.
One Who Taught Men and Women
the Art of Unselfsh Friendship
Taft Visits Hampton
BY VIM. Anthony Aery

Hampton, Va. - DR.. Samuel A.
Eliot Of Cambridge, Mass, president
of the American Unitarian Associa-
ton, who delivered the annual found
er's day address at Hampton Insti-
tute, declared that Hampton Institute,
since 1868, has been the creator of
opportunity and that its founder, Gen.
Samuel Chapman Armstrong, has be-
come known throughout the educa-
tional world as the creator of man
hood and womanhood.
DIR. James E. Gregg, principal of
Hampton Institute, introduced Doctor
Eliot as a friend and spokesman Of
freedom, truth, and progress.
Doctor Eliot paid tribute to DIR.
Hollis B. Frissell, who was General
Armstrong; successor and principal
Of Hampton from 1898 until his death
in 1917, as man Of well-balanced
Judgment, penetrating observation,
transparent honesty of nature, sanity,
and sincerity, who taught men and
women the art of unseIfish friendship.
Hampton is the extension of per-
sonal forces Of men and women who
could see clearly, think independently,
imagine wildly, and will nobly," said
Doctor Eliot.
Hampton is the incarnation of the
dreams of people who were able to
impart themselves and to draw out
hesitating minds and hearts into equal
loyalty and devotion.
Armstrong had in his blood
mingling Of the Scotch-Irish strain
with the New England Puritanism.

THE Black Mans Place in South
Africa" BY Peter Nielsen. Pub
lished by Juta and Company, Linn
tied, Cape Town, South Africa.
This little volume has come all the
way from South Africa. do not
know the price, but l want to note
it among the publications Of 1922 as
one of careful study and friendly i'm
port. Nielsen tells us that he has
studied the ways Of the natives Of
South Africa on the spot, at first
hand, through the medium OF their
own speech, which he processes to
know as well as the natives them
selves" With this knowledge he dis
cusses Bantu. evidently the South
African Native, whose language he
knows, and finds him surprisingly like
the white man in his physical, in
tellectual and moral equipment.
To give some quotations.: "The
Bantu, as compared with other races,
labor under no apparent physiological
disabilities to hinder them in the
process Of mental development" OF
their language, he says: THE Bantu
types are capable of being developed
into as perfect a means Of expression
Of human thought as any Of the
European types of speech. They are
astonishingly rich in verbs, which
make it easy to express motion and
action wildly" The Bantus are not
more bestial than whites: "'The SEX
ual instincts of the Natives seem in
no wise different from those of other
people" Their bravery is very great.
Those who have shared the dangers
of food and field with African Ma
tives often testify to acts of sublime
courage by native soldiers, hunters
and miners in the face OF real and
appreciated danger under circum-
stances which show that the Natives
as whole are no less capable than
the white people of conquering in
stinctive fear and Of sacrificing the
individual self when great demands
are made" And of brain power: 'Tn
sound reasoning ability. as applied to
matters with which he is familiar. the
Native is no whit below the white
man." Of Negro achievement: "The
mental strain involved in leading the
so-called simple life of the so-called
savage IS, on the whole, no less in
tense than that suffered by the civil
