Repeated outburts of cheering
gwept the sections allowed to negroes
as the occupants caught the phrases
relating the political economic oppor
tunities and there was occasional rip
ples of applause from the white sec
tion when the significance of a phrase
(here and there was realized.
The President said, in part:
'‘Politically and economically there
need be no occasion for (treat and
permanent, differentiation, provided

things nodal and racial.
“I would say let the black man

"I wish that both the tradition of

tradition of a solidly Republican j
black race might be broken up.
“I would Inalat upon equal educa

AUGUSTA BANK IN HANDS
STATE SUPERINTENDENT
(By Associated Press.)
Augusta. Oct. 2fi.~The directors of
the Merchants Bank tonight posted n
notice that the bank had been placed
under the control of the state super
; intendent of banks.
Ity thought of both races which recog
nises this difference.
"Take the political aspect. I would
sav, let the black man vote when ho
is tit to vote; prohibit the white man
voting when he is unfit*to vote. Espe
cially would 1 appeal to the self-re
spect of the colored race. I would In
oculate In It the wish to Improve it
self as a distinct race with a heredity,
a set of traditions, an array of aspira
tions all Its own. Out of such racial
ambitions and pride will come natural
segregations, without narrowing any
rights, such as are proceeding In both
rural and urban communities now in
southern states, satisfying natural In
clinations and adding notably to hap
piness and contentment.
‘•On the other hand, I would infist
upon equal education opportunity f.w
both. This does not mean that both
would become equally educated w'th
tn a generation or two generations or
ten generation*. Even men of the
same race do not accomplish such an
equality as that. But there must be
such edatlon among the colored poo
pie 4 as will enable them to** develop
their own leaders, capable of under
standing and sympathising with such
a differentiation between the races rs
l have suggested-—leaders who will in
spire the race with proper Ideas of
race pride, of national pride, of a
honorable destiny, ad Important par
ticipation in the universal effort for
; advancement of humanity as a whole.
Racial amalgamation there cannot be.
Partnership tbe races tn developing
the highest aims of all humanity there
must he. If humanity, not only here.
! but everywhere. It to achieve the ends

It seemed probable that Charles and
