thing for their official brethren.

increase propositions that, if carried out,

Black Man Must JKTalco Himself In
dispensable Citizen.

lar and conspicuous citizen of tho United

our uncrowned king, for whom we wish
a successful administration and a Becond
term," by tho famous Dr. Walker,

of Georgia, who owned, he said, a million
ncres of land in the State, and paid

encouraging; it gave him an illustra
tion for his oft-expressed belief thnt tho"
race question must be settled by the
negroes making themselves indispensa
ble to tho community in which they
lived. This meant industry, information
and thrift, only acquired by constant in
dividual effort.
