Southern Negro Addresses Chicago Audience on the Question. Chicago, March 30.—“The solution of the negro problem lies with the ne gro himself. It ca^n be brought out by his aiMjuiiing land, saving money and educating his sons. There is nothing in the cry about social equal ity. Tlie negro does not Vfant it, and does not expect it.” This statement was made last night at Bethed church by J. J. Smallw'ood. president ^f the Tempera'iice. in-.ius- trial and Collegiate institute, a negro institution at Claremont. Va. "At the close of the civil war.” Pro fessor Smallwood said, “the negro had nothing. Since then he has accumu lated $300,(!()(»,000 woith of ]iro])erty. Ke has built up 9(5 institutions or learning and the race has tuinished 27,000 school teachers. He had turn ed his attention to buying land, and this will eventually result in the solu tion of the race i)roblem. I have no objection to a law requiring negrof^s to ride in a Rei)arate coach on the rail ways. What I do want is a division of the coach, so that we would not have to mingle with the element in our race that is shunno.i by the edu cated whites in theirs.” £'\v Orleans, March 31.—A dispatch ji:.'- r.'coived i^ays; ■'Tile main ii'vee piotecting the An- .'rate convict fa.m gave way this ni( ;-i!ing at 4 o'clock.
