The African both home and
abroad has proven to be the father
of inventions; he is natural crea-
tive genius, of the first and high
est type. One of Americas grea-
test inventors was the honorable
Benjamin Banneker, who was
born at Elliott's Mil, Maryland,
in 1881. His mother was a white
woman and his father her slave.
She fell in love with him, freed
and married him; hence Mr.. Ban
neker was born free. Banneker
invented the first clock in Ameri-
ca, and the first clock with a mi
mute hand in the world. He was
an astronomer, surveyor, mathe-
matician, and the publisher of one
of the first almanacs in America.
He helped make the plans of Fee
deral City, and marked out the
of Washington D. c. He
was also an Industrious and sue
cessful farmer. Banneker was the
first American to advocate world
peace.
The cotton gin was invented by
a slave and patented by Eli Whit
ney; James Forten invented a de-
vice for handling salts in Philadel-
phia in 1881; Henry Blair of Mary
land invented a corn harvester in
1884; Joe Anderson, a slave, in

through similarity of names.
The cutters yesterday were ordered
