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.

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.
