A KEOKO EDITOR WHO IB DOING GOOD.
B. J. Davis. editor of Tbe Independent. In opposing the call of WII
llAm J. White for en Equal Rights convention nf the negro race, fn Macon 1
on February 12th. write! some sound sense In unusually vigorous and
■tralghtforward fashion.
Editor Davis tells the Equal Rights aspirants that their Injudicious
agitation Is doing mors bajyn than good—-that tbe race has epent forty
year* In fruitless agitation, and foolish “resolntlng, M and reminds than
lhal the more they agtltate and clamor the further they get from the full
enjoyment of suelj rights as they liave.
After calling attention to tbe fact that tha leader* of this movement,
William J. White, lias Barber and W. E. Du Boll, have found It advisable
al limes to leave the stale and have forfeited their Influence on account
of their utterances, the negro editor concludes In the following timely sen
tences:
“Character and usefulness In men and women are not created
by resolution* In conventions. It must come If It comet st all, by
useful and helpful living among our neighbor* In the communities
where we live. Equal right* and no other convention can bring
to us the full enjoyment of our manhood rights until we demon
strate our worth as men and citisens among our neighbors, ft
may he a hard Job under prevailing conditions, to convince our
neighbors that we are entitled to the rights and privileges we
contend for: ll mailers not how hard the (ask Is. the burden of
proof Is upon our racial shoulders and we bad as well address our
selves in the work. Tbe time we spend at'Macon and other plaeat
resoliiilng and complaining about conditions we cannot remedy
could he more profitably spent In an honest effort to establish
ourselves fn the hearts of our neighbors. The only right* that will
remain permanently with ue. are those we earn by our faithfulness.
While we do not approve the animus behind the curtailment of
our constitutional rights, sometimes w* ere elmoet of the opinion
that we are unfit for many of the civil and political Immunities
left us. Why pull one thousand negro men to Macon to resolute
anil make hot air speeches In February? Dr. White has been In
(be convention business lu the state for IS yean, and nothing
tangible atanda to his credit along political lines. Let u* keep
our mouth* shut and work more. I>t us stay at home and ad-
■ dress our talents ro tjie accumulation of wealth and character.
Ninety-nine per cent of the negro leaders who meet In these con
ventions are defaulter* on the tag hooks In their counties, yet
they aspire to lead and shape cittzenehlp.”
It Is In utterance* like this (hit thoughtful men see a possible solution
of the race queatlon.' When the real leader* of the negro rarp Illustrate
the self control, the Judgment and Ihe forecaating wisdom lo tee the light,
and lo follow It. they must and Inevitably will command the respect and
helpful confidence of the whlth race.
8lnce Ihe September tragedy the editor of The Independent haa
. written no word to Ihe public that has not been sound, conservative and
considerate. He haa demonstrated the qualities of a real leader of his
race, and he hns won and deaerved Ihe confidence and good will of the
while men who are moving with patience and purpose toward the best
things Ihnt may be done with this perplexing problem. •
AN EDUCATIONAL EPIC.
Miss Martha Rerrv'a School at Rome Is the educatloaal romance of
the slate. r .
LpI us change the word: It It rather the ediiranfftSit hptr. —
No more altruistic effort In helpful and heroic work has been wrought
In the history of Georgia. Tell the tale as often as we Willi It never loses
point or Interest or Inspiration.
One brave little woman with moderate means snd a glorious purpose,
beginning In Ihe woods. In'one small cabin, with a few Biinday school
scholars, and step by step, Ifttle hy little, making each day add one frac-
lion of endeavor and advance lo the day that went liefore—eking out a
small substance with unfailing courage and hemic faith- has hullded up
In s way lhal seems little short of marvelous a noble and wonderful
school where Kir. stalwart rountry hnvp and young men am learning not
only lessons from books hut the noblest of lessons fmm life and purpose
snd character andpatrlotleui for years to come. _
From on* teacher to a large faculty of educated and self sacrlflcTng
Instructors, and fmm the hum of a country community In n deserved and
honored place among the notable and noble educational Institution* of the
republic.
This ts what one quiet earnest little woman ha* done How she has
done II. It Is doubtful If shp herself could tell. How she keep* It up It Is
doubt (it! If we w ho read can understand Hut the fact that she haa done It
nnd I* doing tt. Is the unconquerable assurance that she will continue lo
hold up the Institution to Its high Ideals and to en ever Increasing useful-
ness.— - - - -
Miss Berry is one of the deservedly distinguished citizens of the stale.
If Georgia were In the habit of ernwnlng Illustrious service with laurel
w maths, one of these would fall on the slender shoulders of this North
Georgia heroine nf education.
And the world must come to know Miss Berry anti her work better
than It does today, and to help her more No struggle ns brave ns that
and ns majestic In Its motive should go unaided hy the best forces of a
civilization whose own trond Is upward and altruistic.
If God helps Ihese who help themselves, then men should follow Ills
example And 11 men help those who help themselves, then men who aro
able to help at all. should help Miss Berry In her noble and heroic work.
These are country boys gathered from the hills snd Ihe /arms of
North Georgia. Strong, rugged and manly, taken fresh front the purity
and vigor of the country, they nre caught here In the very turn and crisis
of their lives and am moulded Into men In whom the state Is rich. And
no Investment that the stale or Its wealthy citizens ran make will pay
richer returns to Georgia and to the future than money put Into the help
nnd advancement of this Rond work
A few days ngo Miss Berry’s school celebrated Its fifth anniversary,
and the srene that transpired at the rinse of the exere|ee» was as slgnlfl
cant as It was Inspiring ‘ These rugged country hoys In their superb devo
tion to their teacher and to the school filled Ihe hearts of nil present with
a sense of the Indestructible foundation upon which II was hullded—on
the strength of which- Miss Berry ha* so often said that when she was
gone "the boy* would carry on the school."
At the cloze of the exercises one of these young fellows rose up and
told how the boys themselves, appreciating their teacher's hemic struggle,
had resolved to add their little mile of help to her own brave work and
how In their vacation. In various waya that they could develop, they each
one hnd made nnd saved a dollar to lay on the altar of this rural alma
mater. And so saying he placed a hag containing $71 upon the desk of the
president. Then before the tears had dried from the brave little tenoher’a
eyes, there arose In his place a young man representing the alumni of the
last two or three years, and In a similar speech presented the founder In
behalf of the young alumni, with a purse of $5:1.
And following Iasi upon this the teachers presented from the savings
of their slender salaries.a puis* of $210 to express their unselfish conse
cration to Ihe work.
It ts not strsttge that under the Inspiration of a scene of such hemic
self helpfulness that the citizens of Borne have stirred themselves and
are giving In yearly Installments to help the school.
And It should not he strange that out of this Incident and out of this
splendid Impression which Miss. Berry’s noble labors have made upon Ihe
state, that we who live In this Capital of Georgia, nnd that good men
nnd good women throughout thls^m>spwrous slate who know of her re
markable Institution, should Join their names to the subscription blank
which Is going about In Georgia and pledge a little at least of our yearly
Incomes br carry on ami to enlarge .the almost Ineompnrnhle work of the
bravest, the most heroic and, the most Inspiring school In Georgia.
Here Is a foundation on which nohle charily may Is' safely placed
Here Is a rock upon which bonevolenc.vmay Is* planted as an everlasting
foundation Here la a call which no prudent giver need fear to answer
fully and heart fully and swiftly In Its need
We present the ease of Ihe “educational epic In the North Georgia flat
woods’” lo all those who are practical friends and helpers of the youth of
the state.

New York, Feb. $.—The cheats of
gold that want down In tbo hold of
the British war vassal Lutln. which
foundered off tha co*at of Holland, a
century ago, will again ho sought by a
company organised in London by Fired
B. Whitney, of Washington. D. C.. th*
attorney of th* Lako Submarine Com

the operation*.
Many futile effort* have been made
tq wrest from tho engulfing sonde of
the Holland coast th* $1.4(0.000 In
bullion In th* treasure chests of the
Luttn, which foundered October 0,
17M.
Lately, however. Simon Lake decided
that recovery of tho precious cargo
woe possible. Th* British parliament
granted to Lloyds, th* Insurance firm,
the right to all that could be recovered
from the vessel.
Attorney Whitney, after several con.
ferencea with Lloyds, convinced them
of the possibility o$ saving the gold,
and a- contract, according to London
advices, has been entered Into, giving
the American company one-half of
what gold It may recover.
If President Roosevelt can bring such
a thing about, congress will pass a law
which will prevent discrimination
ogalnat the uniform of the army or the
navy.
General coses Involving this question
are ponding In the state courts, but
the more recent caee* of refusal of a
skating rink proprietor at Ptattsburg,
N. Y . to admit two soldiers in uni
form. which was sustalnsd by Judge
Everest, of the city court, hes given tn
Impetus to the movement begun by the
president some time ago to Insist that
the uniform shall be recognised In all
public placea
An Intereetlng phase of the Platte-
burg Incident developed when It be
come known that Judge Everest re
cently wrote the president the grounds
on which he based his decision. In ef
fect that the case was not within the
meaning of the bill of rights, affect
ing the question of race, creed or
color.
He expressed the frank opinion, how.
ever, that the matter should be taken
-up .bycongress and a hill passed mak
ing It on offense to discriminate
■gainst the uniform of the army or the
navy.
