Page Eighteen BADIN BULLETIN we own our own homes.” This state ment has never been denied by any race leader, or anyone who desires to see the race play its part with other races of the world in a common advancement of the civilization of the country. In the wisdom and good wishes of the Tallassee Power Company for the permanent location of the race in a place where we can help ourselves and others as well, they have opened to us an op portunity thru which the negro earning even the smallest wage may secure a house and lot which he can call his own, without any voice to the contrary—his own home. This means that he is to be free and independent, so far as a home is concerned. The plan by which this home is to be had makes it possible for all. He is given ten years to pay for a home, which costs only the small sum of say $1400. This proposition does not only open the opportunity for owning homes to the race, but opens for those desiring it, a most splendid chance for building and operating business on the same payment plans. If we desire homes as individuals of the race, now is our time to secure them. This opportunity will not always open itself to us, and if we allow this chance to pass we shall have lost—once for always. Let us be wise, and buy now, while we can. Every colored man in Badin, under such splendid chances, should own the house in which he lives ten years hence. I am, yours for racial advance ment. E. G. Harris Priticipal Colored School Colored Village Notes The friends and members of the A. M. E. Zion Church are working beauti fully under their new pastor’s leadership, Rev. J. A.

Miss Gertrude Carter, from Brisco, N. C., was in town not long since. Our community singing is on a now. Come out and join us. Quitting Too Easily The disposition to give up too easily has been tTie cause of many a man’s fa**' ure. Some men will get an idea whifj* they regard as a good one and well wort working out. They will begin the liminary investigations about it, and soon as they find it does not work easily, or involves conditions they did think of at first, they give up the wh® * idea. “A good idea,” they say, “but much bother to work it out.” It does not take many such actions a man to form a habit of giving up for ,siiy in places where he should not give up all. The effect of one such needl relinquishment of a good purpose is unlike the case of the man who says can’t.” To admit defeat once, doubly hard to nerve one’s self for a ond endeavor. And to admit it the ond time puts one still further back, j leaving a man in a worse state of than if he had not undertaken the at all.
