information that the trip was to get
whiskey.
The sheriff and several deputies
met the Browns at the Yadkin river
bridge, bat when Brown recognized
them he put his machine on high and
Graham was the oiily officer to catch
it. Sheriff Krider in his Ford kept
in sight of the other ear and when
they passed through Salisbury, they
were right together and going 50
miles an hour.
Graham was almost frozen when
he jumped from the car after riding
10 miles. Within 300 yards after
the officer left Brown's car, it slid
into a deep ditch while making: a
cun'e, and the officers soon came
up and took charge of the machinii

Washington won the sympathy and
SL'ppott of leading southerners by a
speech in behalf of his race at the
Cotton States exposition in Atlanti
in 1895. Of undoubted ability and
breadth of vision, his sane leadershs.u
enabled him to accomplish more for
and among the negroes of the Unite*!
States tiu«i any n«gro of his time.
In addition to his prominenre as an
educator, Washington gained consider
able f;;nie as an author. He received'
ai' l.'Dnorary degree of master of arts
fi ;ii Harvard University in 1896 and
n\is given an honorary degree of doc
tor of laws at Dartmouth college in
1901.
An incident of Washington’s carpet-
made him a figure of natior,ai promi
nence during the administration of
President Roosevelt. He sat down to
lunch with the President at the White
House either by formal or informal
invitation. There was a storm of pro-
test, particularly from the south, but
in spite of the resulting hostility
shown toward him by many white per
sons, Washington continued to excit
a widespread influence toward tha
i»etterment of his people.
