sire to speak to the colored people
of -North Carolina.
The following is my advice to
them: Itj has been said that the
success of the negroe's advance
ment does not lie in politics nor
evenalougj political lines. The last
and ever ipemorable content has
proven th statement true. The
negro, if he will succeed,, must
turn his attention elsewhere. The
industrials intellectual, moral and
religious development cannot be
over estimated. Usese furnish
solidity to race building. The last
political contest bo far as the ne
gro is concerned, has proven poli
tics to be rolling sand, which the
least rain can wash away. From
my observation the v negro must
seek other doors to powers-toon
and glory. We may as welLadjust
ourselves to the situation at once,
and, how "good contentment is
great gain," No time for hosting,
no time for anything that excites
and inflames prejudice, no time, (o
measure arms and try stei.gth.
This is a time for subduing pass
ions for calm thought, cool judg
ment, wise counsel, peaceful ac
tions, that peace may spread its
wings from mountain to sea and
embrace eachof our citizens, white
and black alike.
Let usal! have a pride for our
glorious old State a'nd seek to ,de
velope its resources, cultivate its
fertile acres, discover its many hid
den treasures consecrate it to an
intellegent, law-abiding people.
Do'nothing to precipitate confu
sion or riot. Words have created
more trouble thau any one thing.
There are times when, silence is
golden. This is one of the times.
Cool-headed men of tp race come
to the front and take the lead in
advauce in this hourof gloom, that
rest and tranquility may be restor
ed and bloodshed cease. Let us
direct ourattention to true educa
tion, true industry and good morals
Let the white people have cam
paigns and officers and we get
what of education, money and
Christ we can. This I am sure
will bring no trouble, no blood.
Men and measures and not party
for the negro any more.
