Delivered Before Citizens of Lexing ton, Ky., at Memorial Meeting Held at First Baptist Church, Under Au spices of Business League, by Rev. O. E. Jones, D. D., Pastor St. Paul’s A. M. E. Church, Lexington, Ky. (By Hardin Tolbert.) After appropriate salutation the speaker said: The sad death of this noted educa tor shocked this entire nation and convulsed our particular race, bring ing heartfelt grief and irreparable sor row to his relatives and friends, espe cially to the family whom he served so devotedly. In him a genuine man lived; in him a genuine man wrought and in his fall a genuine man met the inevitable ap pointment of all humanity—death. in paying this tribute we are re minded of what Judge DeArmond said in the Senate in paying tribute to the memory of Senator Bates: “It is very difficult to speak of the living justly, kindly and bravely. It is even more difficult to speak of the dead as real facts, tempered by mercy and charity, and yet guided and di rected by courage and honesty, would suggest, as we come to the portals of the grave, as we bend over the bier of the departed, as we linger about the mound covered with flowers, under which rests him who was but is no longer of this world, judgment seems to surrender control, moderation to give way to extravagance, and we too often lose ourselves in an infinitude of meaningless phrases which sounded and roll but signify nothing.’’ If it were his to answer—at this mo ment, I am positive, from my knowl edge of Dr. Washington, that it would be to give assent. Above all other things that he was in his life, he was a man of marvelous, yet tremenduously impressive sim plicity. Almost his final charge was one against ostentation and pomp. It was carried out by those who of ficiated. On Wednesday morning, while the body of the “Wizard of Tus kegee” reposed among the floral tributes of friends, Chaplin Whiting and two others paid simple tributes to his life and works, closing all in less than two hours. Thus the tomb was closed over him, who is destined to live in the hearts of untold generation; yes to live until history pages shall have crumbled into dust: until gen erations shall cease to tell the story of their heroes and their sages. In 1858 or thereabout, this boy with out a name was born. He said of his birthplace, “My birthplace was near Hale's Ford, in Franklin county, Va. It was about as near to nowhere as any locality gets to be. What cared he for nowhere, the same conscience ness that bade him name himself Booker T. made him in after life work under the thought that "Each soul contains at any and every page of its existence the history of its own past and the prophecy of its own future.” A peep into the “Big House” of the Master, unleashed the mind of the slave boy that had the ruggd 12x16 cabin for its home, and set it loose on the world, a living anxious force of in quiry and determination. Spelling his way from the minds of Malden to the halls of Hampton he soon begins to read the writing of destiny until he finds himself a living force, the subject of his first address, among the forces of the world. What audience has not been swayed by his peculiar oratory. Hear him as he stands with outstretched hands and burning soul, pleading and urging the world to give his race a manly chance; hear him say “We do not measure yon lofty mountains by the plateaus on which we stand and gaze, but we measure their altitudes, their heights from the level of the sea. then do not measure my people from the highest noints of vantage but measure them by the depths from which they come.” His was truly an analytic mind. His logic was convincing, his wit was of the keenest kind. Sincerity and hon esty marked his convictions, yet he was straightforward and manly as an op ponent. I have listened to him in con troversy. If he chaffed under criti cism he kept it to himself. He bore criticism) like an Atlas bears a world, •>nd amid it all worked out the purpose for which called from Hampton. He gave a Tuskegee for the masses, a lasting monument for himself. His handshake, his presence gave the stu dents of Kis institution an inspiration. Some of the students within my hear ing this afternoon, though their eyes mav show no tears, feel the weeping within their hearts when they think of the many kindnesses shown them through perosnal contact. Great was his soul. As a member of the Baptist church, God fashioned him for the Church Triumphant. As I was on my way to Lexington, two years ago. we met by chance in the depot at St. Louis, after a friendly hand grasp and an exchange of salutations we parted, each rushing to perform a duty for race, in his own particular sphere. Tuskegee was his soul, his all was there, he always spoke so tenderly of his family and paid such high tribute to his mother’s memory. ITe was a great man, and like all S - (1 A don’t cake FOpT\ I I THE seashore-^ 1 lit. ( thats my X Z^\ MOTHERINLAWS 1 i l vo,ce ‘- J ■9^^.

Every phase of life felt his touch, the teacher, the millionaire, the mechanic, the church man, the business man, the farmer, even the man without a work, all were known ■' to him. Though fitted for a crisis, he worked not for the negro alone, but for the American nation, nay more he wrought for the entire human race. As a star in the realm of achievement his magnitude was great enough to shine in both hemispheres. He devel oped a class of self-helpers. Without faltering he followed his purpose to the end, dying amid the splendors of glor ious achievements. “He made mani fest in material shape something that was living in his inner life.” God deemed it best to take him from his family, from his race, from his nation, from his work and bade him rest. The angel or ordinations and destin ies will write his name high up on the scroll of immortals. Memorial Services Held at Salem Bap tist Church for Booker T. Wash ington—Other News. Negro business men of Champaign and Urbana closed their places of business at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning and as sembled at Salem Baptist church to honor the noted leader, Booker T. Washington, who died last week. A program was givgn. Master of Ceremonies Rev. S. W. Bacthlor talked on the “Might and Work of Washington.” St. Elmo Brady, a for mer teacher at Tuskegee, Ala., gave a talk on “His Work at Tuskegee.” A ju bilee song, “Why I Want to Be a Chris tian,” one of Washington’s favorites, was sung. A short talk was given by Mrs. Inez Dickerson, a former teacher at Tus kegee. A eulogy of Washington’s life was presented by Rev. E. G. Jackson, pastor of Bethel church. A song, “Old Time Religion.” by Mr. Brady, “His Work in the Business League,” by Z. L. Breedlove, and “His Christian Work,” by Rev. W. T. Whitsitt, pastor of the C. M. E. church, closed the program. W. Wil liams and F. J. Jordon were managers of the program.

Dec. I.—Forty masked men early today at Henderson, Ky., thirteen miles from here, forced an entrance to the cell of Ellis Buck ner, colored, 24 years old, in the County- Jail. They took him to the river front, three blocks away, and hanged him to a willow tree in a lonely spot. The victim was charged with an attempt to assault Miss Annie Hardin, a white girl. At 2 o’clock this morning the mob, according to Henderson police, formed suddenly in front of the jail and de manded entrance. Arizona Grayson deputy sheriff, and the jailer were the only ones in the jail. The mob threat ened to batter down the door and wreck vengeance on the officers, the police say, and the doors were opened. Then the mob demanded that the corri dor and cell doors be opened. Dragged to River Front. The negro was dragged to the foot of Powell street and hanged, a rope being thrown across the limb of a willow tree there. Chief of Police Graves located the body at 10 o’clock this morning and cut it down. Henderson police say Buckner had been in trouble before. The attack with which the negro is charged occurred Friday night. Miss Hardin, who is employed in a bakery, was on her way home when she w-as seized at the mouth of an alley- and dragged into the darkness. Her screams brought help and the negro ran. She gave a good description of him and Buckner was arrested by the police half an hour later. Miss Hardin went to the station and positively identified him. Police in Henderson say they are endeavoring to learn the identity of members of the mob, but aver that the handkerchiefs the men had tied around their faces will make this difficult.
