is quite u studious young man o?
sterling qualities. After leaving

lieving thaht this city offered
bright opportunities for energetic,
prepared young men, decided to lo
cate here. Being possessed with
rare ability as a young business
man, the Georgia Mutual Insu
rance Co., whose home offlcs Is in
this city, at once gave him a posi
tion as auditor of the company and
his advancement has been so rapid
until he now holds the positions of
secretary, assistant general man
ager and a member of the board of
directors of said company—all due
to his zeal and genius as a busi
ness man. Every man. especially
young men. will do well to hear

Clain will be the speaker at the

News of Colored People
In and Around Augusta
(By A. W. WIMBERLY)
By A. W. WIMBERLY
September 19th, marked the an
niversary of the death of Rev. Silas
X. Floyd. That the day could have
passed unnoticed seems unthink
able, In the light of the unremit
ting services which Rev Floyd rend
ered tbosa who while he lived and
was In position lo serve them, and
did serve them, vociferously vaunt
ed their friendship for their bene
factor, They had ured him to the
limit. He secured positions In the
public schools of the city and coun
ty for scores nnd scores of young
nnd old colored men and women,
many of whom were failures at
everything previously attempted.
These posed ns his steadfast friends
and in that way preyed upon his
sympathies and used him to the
limit. Following his passing these
seem to hnvo forgotten the laddor
by which they ascended, and on the
anniversary of the death of their
friend aid servant there appeared
not a word in mcmorlnm; no gath
ering of (he group of dependents
which he had rescued, to do honor
to their departed friend through the
presentation of the usual resolu
tions and Individual expressions of
eulogy. Fitch outward evidence of
down right ingratitude shakes con
fidence in human nature and may
he oalcuated to make the weak
yield to the vagary that the devil
may finally triumph over right.
Tills is a sad picture, hut sadder
still Is the truth that many of the
sinners, for ingratitude Is a sin,
have been thus left In position to
shape and mould the young negroes
now coming on. I shudder to think
of whnt the harvest Is to be, nnd
often a prayer, for the unfortunates
whom Rev. Floyd left In charge of
them, nnd for the helpless boys
and girls who from the very nature
of things ran never hnvo their
chance in life. Now it Is out, may
the guilty purge their nature of
every vestige of the ingratitude by
sinking themselves Into the dust of
huml'intlon nnd there from a con
trite heart pray to irnrn what the
Master meant when He admonished
us to "do unto others ns ye would
they Bhould do unto you."
