farmer gradually becoming a negligible
factor in the agricultural life Of the

It is easy to measure the difficult

lnasmuch as the Southern Democrat
is the bone and sinew Of Democratic
party success, the powers that would

circumbent the wishes Of the South.
The Negro would continue to suffer
and, complain as he may, there would
be no chance for an Improvement If

chair, secretary Of agriculture from
the South would really make It easy

Bishop Fountain, as you well know,
deserves respect and honor from the
entire "A. Nj. E. Connection as well as
from the citizens Of this country, and
this was well demonstrated by the
gifts he received. For these many
years Mrs. Fountain has gone along
by the Bishops side helping him to
do that which is gratifying to the Ne
gro race today. Her youthful days
were brought back to her when she
looked into the faces of so many
friends who had come to do her and
Bishop Fountain honor.
