How the political aspirations of an ex-Confederate colonel resulted in the creation of Tuskegee and in h's own political undoing will be - told in "Booker T. Washington: Builder of a Civilization," which will be pub lished shortly by Doubleday, Page Company. The writers are Lyman Beecher Stowe, grandson' of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Emmett J. Scott, for 18 years Doctor Wash Ington's secretary. An extract from the book follows: "It came - about that In the year 1880 in Macon County, Alabama, a certain ex-Confederate colone; con ceived the Idea that, if he could se cure the negro vote, he could beat his rival and win the seat he coveted in the State Legislature. According ly, the colonel went to the leading negro in the town of Tuskegee and asked him what he could do to se cure the negro vote, for negroes then voted In Alabama without restriction. This man, Lewis Adams by name, himself an ex-slave, promptly rep'ied that the thing Jits race most wanted was education, , and the thing they most needed -was Industrial educa tion, and, that. If he (the colonel) would agree to work for the passage of a bill appropriating money for the maintenance of an industrial school for negroes, he. Adams, would help to get for t him the negro vote and the election V - Thig bar frain. between an ex-s"ave-holder and. an eX-slave was made and faithfully observed on both sides, with the result that the following year the Legislature of Alabama ap propriated $2,000 for the establish ment of a normal and Industrial school for negroea in the town of Tuskegee. On the recommendation of General - Armstrong of Hampton Institute, a young co'ored man, Booker T. Washington a recent graduate and teacher at the Institute, was called from there to take charge of this . landless, bulldmgless, teach erless, and studentleas institution of learning. "This move turned out to be a fa tal mistake In the political career of the colonel. The appellation of 'nig ger lover' kept him ever after firmly wedged in his political grave. Thus, by the same stroke, was the career of an ex-slaveholder wrecked and that of an ex-slave made. This po litical blunder of an obscure office seeker has given to education one of its great formative institutions, to the negro race its greatest leader, and to America one of its greatest citizens." . 1 Turkey Crop Prosperity.
