They are very fond of seeing their programs in print and we give it below, wherewl 'giB) some notes from what we con sider by far the crowning feature of the day.

Chorus, Red, White and Blue Graded School. Original Poem Negro Freedom Mrs. A M Stitti -. . Addresses by Revs. C ,C Col lins and J Q Johnson. ' Messrs. J A Lankford and D W Cannon. Annual Oration The negro as an American citizen Rev. W A Peggans. Music was furnished by the Choir. As we have said we make some notes v from , the speech ,of ttev. Peggans, 1 the , pastor', from a speech which we are sorry we can't give as a whole. 4 The speaker Ijails .the intro duction of the race in-1620 as the happiest event possible for those now in America. To have trans planted tile' "wliole 5 race1 here he points out would have defeated , , w the better results. i Emancmatidn -he savs is desir able j for all but the 'Suddenness and the unpreparedness of ttje race for f reedom .a.t.the time it com e hdepljpres multiplying tho chances for the negro to en ter into its richest fruits. The negro njaw, not m t0 do with freedom and regarded it as the privilege to spend, much'j)f the time-in frolicking 1 aha ' elase, re gardless of the rules of heallh and longevity or the laws of citizenship. ....... , f. . Hence he had along with some good records made even more that were bod. Lack of honesty had been the fruitful source of much of his troubles and lack of progress. He regards it as very unfor tunate that the negro should bind himself to perpetual fealty iC the one political . party and vote as a matter of gratitude and prejudice rather than for that which is prompted by wise citi zenship. He notes with regret that thoSer&bxiVtxf "Otiarloke, arrived!in race has suffered from ambitious leaders.f or personal aggrandise ment and have allowed them selves to be participants in what, nrovokes race alienation. A conspicuous example of deplor-' able , leadership is the editor Manly,of Wilmington. He notes too the negro's un fortunate prejudices in soon fall ; ing into hatred toward those who have the courage to oppose the political trend into which he has gotten himself. R , . He-notes the fine progress the race has made along some lines in spite of general erratic tenancy.-- f- x Statistically tho speaker noted I that the race today has 800 law yers, 1,000 doctors, 35,000 teach- cfianies and 300,000 who dwell on their own farms. He finds the southern states tho best home for the negm where mostaUowJince , is made, for hi& Jftioxt. ycojnings audi greatest sympathy is extended" him in his laudable efforts. He sees safely for .the race at home. amicLthe , gaucsianshcj respond so readily to the cry ol suffering and oppression in other lands. , The separate car law he hail as favorable tortile negro and, ex cept the grandfather clause has nothing . . tp .N -conipJain of in the! constitutional amendments. j He warns against falling into the discontented hope of better! ment by colonization and urges lb the virtues of citizenship thai will be gladly recognized for what it is. Comparison of races need not be indulged in as the too races while having some things in common must be ever separate and distinct in others. The address as a whole socrn io be not ttjat which might niakp the speaker most .popular ' but contains much that if grasped and assimilated must prove beneficial, i Mm aw.
