There Is strength In unity, and good farming organization will he one of great use to th farmers." In part, Mr. flura Ililbtin. Surer, visor of Rural Negro Schools of thr State, said: "It always affords mr pleasure to come to Utlca and see, nil secili ir thefj is sure if thKlu Klui Klan Is an organization, as Is generally supposed, whose purpose It Is to sup. press the Neero to timidate him, to make him ieel that ha is less than a man, it was doomed to failure before it was born. The Negro, In a very large- degree, has passed through that stage of his existence where a simple white sheet and a mask can have any terrors for him.

Only the most Ignorant and the least developed will have any fear of aucq an organization." HlghlroBs Sent latent "Besides, my friends( there are thousands of white people In ever; southern state, who are our friend and who are fairminded men, and realize that the terrorizing of the negro population of their various communities is striking at he very foundaton of their own existence. The greatest menace as veil as the greatest disgrace that this country has to face today, and vhklx ph has got to fight to a finish, Is lawlessness on the part of ortnin elements of the population. The pillars of civilized government ilready tremble. If the lowliest, the blackest citizen in Mln-sissippi is not safe from extreme passion under the strong arm the law, then the' hghest, most ex-alted citizen even the governor-is net in his mansion. Such nice tlistinitons are only regarded by those who respect our laws and our cvllization.

Enforce the Ut "This country has ample laws, made by the best men produced In every staff. In every generation; and I believe the best men of the present generation will find some way to enforce thes laws. So, In the final analysis, I believe we have nothing; to fear for the fu'-ture. Let every negro, then fore, lift up his head and look the world in tho face 'For 4 reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to Fear not, David, a man of wisdom and broad experience; and long life, once. said, "I have been young ami now am old; yet have I pot seen the righteous forsaken! his seed begging seems that out' of the richness, his experience," he was tbnviHietf that righteousness not -only- euiltn a people, but sustains them in theit very life also.

No one, can note the progress of the negro for the past fifty years without being convinced that in a very larg measure lie has been sustained at every turn by a power not his own. Replacing the Negro "Again, there are those who fear that recent efforts to bring in foreigners' to take the place made vacant by the negroes who went north during the recent exodus has In It the germ of future disaster 'for the negro. I do not share In this fear. Who are these foreign ers? Whit men? That settles It. Not since I came upon the scene have I seen any damer whatever cf white men striking at the foundation of negro advancement the opportunity to work.

But, although the negro. In my opinion, would suffer little from the coming Of foreigners, white people would likeljn suffer much by comparison, tn the negro, the whit man har seme one always at hand to do his Wf.rk, to keep his wheels Indus, try moving. In the foreigner he would have no such If the white man spent his time and talents repressing the negro', he would wake up some day to find that the foreigner had spent that same time everything In sifelit Our best homes, fluent eel ales, our expensive lands would all soon bs In their hands. It Is rasy the white southerner sooner- or later completely at the mercy of the thrifty, frugal, Bcmomlo. hard-working foreigner.

Then, the nigro would come in for his drubbing at the hands of tills same element. I am no pessimist nor stand-patter, but I do think that White and black in the south will do well to let well enough alone.

12 (Special.) The fifteenth annual Negro Farmers' conference is in session at this place today. It is by far, one of the best gatherings that hns been witnessed in all the history of this famous institution. Visitors have been coming in on all trains and are still coming. The dormitories are crowd, ed to overflowing and everything is being done by the authorities to make thje farmers and their friends happy, and to make the meeting a useful one. Undoubtedly, the, farm ers, when they go away from this meeting, will be wiser and will have more courage for the great work which lies before them.

Dr. William T. Holmes, president of Tougaloo college, delivered an address last night to the student body, which was conisdered one of the strongest ever heard in the Institute chapel. Dr. II.

15. Hart, of Greenwood, and Prof. H. Lanier of also delivered addresses. Today speeches have been largely by the farmers, but the meeting was opened with a splendid address by Dr.

Lehman, president of the South ern Christian institute at Edwards, Miss. The drawing card of the occasion has been Dr. George W. Carver, the famous Negro chemist of Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Dr.

Carver Is here, fresh from Washington City, where he delivered an address on the possibilities of the peanut before the joint committee of the House and Senate. He delivered the same lecture here today, to the assembled farmers and educators. It was a most remarkable address. One cannot listen to such' lecture and. see with his own eyes, the demonstration made by this wizard or science, without realising, as never before, the great possibilities of this, our Southern Dr.

Carver is not only an inspiration to his own peo-pie. but a help and an honor to the South and to his country. I'rincipal Holtxclaw was re-elect- ed for the fifteenth time, president or the conference. He Is principal and founder of the Utlca Normal' and Industrial institute, where the conference was held. In his annual address, he said: 'My 'In the very first place, I want to extend to you the cordial greetings of this Institution, its teachers, students and trustees, upon the occasion of this, our fifteenth- annuar conference.

I want to express my appreciation of the fact that you have elected me now, for the fif teenth time, annually, to the head of the pre-eminent Nero Farmers' organization in the state of Missis. sipi 1. In opinion, there has been no time In the history of this Institution when there was greater need of consultation by the farming element regarding their various problems than there Is today." Crop Fntlnre and Low Jrir "A large part" of our state and es-peclally this section of the State, the past year was Jn many respects, a disastrous one for the farming element, and by eonsequence, nearly disastrous for the remainder of the population. Continuous rains last summer almost completely destroyed the prospects of cotton and made it Impossible to produce a normal crop except on very high land, but this was not alt. When it came time to market, even the little cotton that was pi educed, it was found that the staple would bring, on the open market, not more than one-fourth of what the farmers had expected te receive for It.

This, coupled with the scarcity of the staple would bring, on the open market, not more than Jjf what farmers had expected to receive for This, coupled with the scarcity of the staple, brought about conster. nation. amongs us. The farmers simply could not pay for the high priced gooda wbhjh they had bought. The merchant found it difficult to extend credit.

The banker could collect little money under these circumstances; the minister could scarcely keep his church congregation together; the schools could maintain themselves the greatest difficulty. As a result of all this, we have been, for the past. rive months, passing through what Amounted xa -a practical panic, ar-though the splendid organisation of the banking system of the country prevented us from realizing that we were up against a Simply Holding On, Xot Enough all these conditions, wp nave held on with a grim and praiseworthy determination. onants have refused to go to the wall. have refused to break all largely because the farming ele ment Jias ahown suoh admirable de termination to get through these cqnditiOns; but it Js not enough, my menus, 10 simply hold on very grimjy.

This firm hold must be ehanged, as rapidly as we can, to a progressive determination. However lowly may be the condition Of the least farmer, let him determine that each dftjf he will get forward ever so little, it Is not enough for man to congratulate himself that he has never been to Jail or in prison. He must make himself of some use out side of prison." --Woke aad Organise "This is the day of organisation and understanding. I want to suggest again, therefore, that the farming clement all. our state, or ganize local farmers' conferences and that these farmers' conferences be made centers of influence, a sort of ce taring house for each community.

I suggest that our local school houses and churches and halls be used as 'centers where farmers may meet at least once a month and thrash out all the problems peauliar to their various com munities. Such mutual exchange of views upon regular will make for the general develop, ment of our rural communities as nothing else I can think of. will." looking 0ntwar4 "Another thing to which I wish to call your attention Is the fact that Negroes must realize that the time has come, when they can no longer think of themselves only, but that they must look beyond the boundaries of their own selfish Interest. It-is not enough that we be deter-mined in our hearts that we are going to prot'uee for ourselves, food and raiment sufficient to make us happy, but we must realize that the times demand that we shall so labor and so manage that we will produce sot only food and raiment for ourselves, but enough to spare, which, when taken in connection with that of our be sent to vari- A Prwporat lofv cf COMPOUND COPAIBA and a uhettMMs ous parts of the world where our fellow creatures are not even so fortunate as we are.

It will be a great day for the Negro race in this country, when it has reached the point where It can share generously In the solution of world problems." Oar School and Charrhra "I want to Impress you with all the power at my command, that our progress Is very largely wound up with the interests of our schools and churches in our various rural communities. Much depends on the schools. More and more, the teacher is being recognised' as one of the real leaders of the In every community, therefore, the people should rally around the teacher and the schools, and make It the center of Influence, a place for the young people to gather for their social and moral betterment, and led always by the they should seek tn have In these school centers, ucoil school house, adapted tit nm.

I suppose you already know thoi Mr. Julius Rosenwald, an eminent citizen of this country, residing in Chicago, has for a number of vears through the late Booker wh. Ington and Dr.

Frlssel of Hamntnn and later through others, has been uming ana encouraging the construction of good school houses, anywhere, where people had the energy and foresight to follow his suggestion. Every community should lay hold on this idei. and get for itself, a good progressive school which it can nurse through th present generation to the hettoe. mcnl.of all Preacher Influence As for the' churches 11 along been the greatest Influ ence lor good, I believe, to be found amongst us. The preacher 4s tlll the pre-eminent leader of the Negro race.

Nobody's work goes so far as that of a preacher. Nohdv' cil is so much sought, no single class of people, has nearly so much as tne Negro preacher It is necessary, therefore, that the preacher should be more. of the highest type of Christian gentleman: and everv should see' to It that nothina- but the highest kind of spiritual indlvldual'should bo per- io oei.ome tne spiritual leader of any community."

The ancient sage, Epictutus, once said.

"Studv to ceal whom thou art, that you may grow In wisdom for a little wish my race could take this philosophy to heart. Any man who wishes to get forward in the world must first be willing to hide him. self for a while that he may grow in wisdom, so that when he does come forth, he may come In all his glory. This was true of Socrates, Plato, Paul. and Jesus.

Why may it not also be true of us? The tendency of the average man when he begins to get up in the world, is to overstep his forget the rock from which he was hewn. In other words, to get beside himself. It may be necessary for us In this generation to hide ourselves as a race ihat we may grow in wisdom tor a while in order that the next generation may: shine forth." Jl Mot Dlaconrage!
