BRAINS AND ABILITY
(By David Milton)

1t was 4 rainy, March night.
And the cold, wild wind seemed
to be playing some wierd game
OF chase with the laShing rain.
1t would swoop down and scoop
up great handouts of the near
frozen water and send them fly
ing oil unto the night, then with
sharp whistle it would go
Scampcring after them.
All the dark world seemed to
he lying dead while this magni-
iicant phenomenon went on.
That is, all the world except
little Able.
Little Abe. fresh from stir,
only crouchcd closer against the
big white stone house and
thought again, for perhaps the
hundrcdth time, just how smart
he was. Who would be stirring
ON a night like this? Nobody.
How do people sleep on rainy
March night? Like a cat be-
fore a fire. Brains and ability.
1t was Il cinch.
Little Able pecred into the
damp darkness around him, as if
to prove his thoughts, then
slowly began to ascend the treI-
lis to second story balcony.
lie pulled himself to the balcony
and crcpt to the French windows.
a few minutes elapsed while he
j mmicd the frall lock, then he
moved silently into the room.
Taking flashlight from his
pocket, he let its beams play a
round the room.He stopped dead
still, a look of utter beiwlder-
ment and defeat upon his face,

Three Negro Slaves Gave
Project It's Beginning i'm 1865

Mayfield, Ca, March 10. -
This is the story of another pro-
ject-a farm project-but there
are no governmental millions in
volved, no aphhbetal brganiza-
tions in charge, no federal bene-
fits asked.
1t is a homely tale which starts
shortly after the Civil War
when three Negro slaves, find
ing themselves free and depen-
pendent upon the community,
set about to better their own
condition and the condition of
their friends and neighbors.
The result is known today as
LOG Cabin Community" a
section in Hancock county in
east-middle Georgia, where more
than 100 Negro families own
$4,000 acres of land, and where
they live hard working Christ
ian lives, send their Children to
school and college, and prosper
in peace and contentment OF
their own making.
Starts In 1858
Te tell the tale completely one
must start at the beginning,
which was in 1868 when Zach,
Floyd and David Hubert cross
ed the sluggish waters of the
Ogeechee river from Warren to
Hancock county i'm quest Of a
home. .....
A white man, advised that the
young Negro freed men desir-
ed place of their own, direct
ed them to this section of the
st a e and made arrangements
by which they could buy 165
acres of land at $40 per acre.
The young Negroes had no.
thing to offer but their promise
to pay in three equal install +
ments. At the end of three
years they had paid up every
dollar of the debt, and the deed
was in their possession.
But Zach, Floyd and David
were not content, they married.
and children were coming along.
They wanted those children to
have some of the opportunities
denied their percnts. 50 they
built school house and a
church. .... ....

The McDowell times. [volume] (Keystone, W. Va.) 1904-1941, 1939-03-24

After clearing their land
they began to prosper. White
residents around them recogni-
zed the true purpose of these
Negro neighbors and enabled
the children of the three broth
ers to go to school. Today the
community probably has sent
more of its young people away
to college than any similar rural
community in Georgia.
T he present development,
sometimes called Springfield
Community, did not get under way
until after 1926, when Zach HUI
her and his wife, Camilla, died.
They had brought II children
into the world, and educated all
of them. -.
Got Farm Land
Before their death, the elderly
couple had by hard work and
rigid economy, gotten together
over 400 acres of good farm
land-every inch paid for.
What should be done with
this land? =.
The Hubert children decided
that one of them, Benjamin F.
Hubert (now president of the
Georgia State college for Negro
es at. Savannah should take it
over and Benjamin m d e his
fathers land serve members of
his race.
He realized THAT his people
ter, a rural parsonage, a swim
needed some way Of co-opera-
tive economic activity, recrea-
ton, Improvement of health and
development Of schools and also
the churches.
The log cabin community cent
or was the first part of the
answer. ......
This center, planned, built
and furnished by Negroes, is
made of native rock and stone
and o t h er materials right at
hand. 1t serves as a necleus for
community life of Negroes liv-
ing nearby, and is in continuous
use for exhibits, plays, lectures
and social get-togethers.
Since the center was dedicat-
ed in 1882, there has been con-
structed around it a health cen
ming pool, and a cooperative
community store.

TIL people have been encourag
ed to grow crops which may be
canned for their own use and for
sale. $500.
Flour is made from wheat pro
duced in the community, a soil
improvement program is being
carried out, and electric lights
soon will be a reality.
A summer school for Negro
(ruraD teachers is held each
summer by the Georgia State
college of the University of Ga,
system cooperating with the
local county board.
Summer training camps f or
boys and girls are annual; wild
life camps and farm conferences
for the people of middle Georgia
are frequent. The Episcopal dioe
cese of Georgia this summer will
hold a religious raining camp
for Negro youth.
Negro colleges and universi-
ties, Benjamin F. Hubert says,
'have talked about a farm pro-
nical information to their stu
dents, but there has been little
or no attempt to bring down
to earth the theories expressed
n text books.
Negro not Helped
Negroes have gone to col
leges, and after leaving college
have gone to urban centers. The
college has, in many instances,
untitled the Negro for the job
of community leadership. No
where has there been a real,
honest-tS-goodness attempt to
apply the theories worked out
II cllege." -.
But in this log cabin communi-
ty Eve are attempting to sell
to the Negroes there, and to the
many Negroes all over the
South, the independence and
joy that comes from redirected
thinking and a more common
sense approach to the problems
that confront us.
And it seems to me" he con-
cludes, that white people could
render no better service now to
help push forward in every way
possible such program as we
have started at Log Cabin CEN
ter. Negroes must be made to
see the possibilities still inherent
in thief arms and among the
farm people, not only of Geor-
ga but Of the South as a whole.
