A LINK FROM THE PA8T
Down In tin* village of Plateau,
ni'iir Mobile, Jives Cudjo Lewis, described
by W. H. Blumenthal in the
Ni'w York Kvoning Post as "the mo?t
historic Negro in the United States,"
u title well bestowed.
For Lewis is the last living of ull
the slaves brought from Africa to
this country, and made the trip on
the Clothilda, last of the slave ships
to bring a cargo to our shores^ on the
lusty trip of her unholy traffic in INfiO.
Lewis is supposed to be !) ? years old.
With 10!) ()|hers of the peaceful
Tarkar tribe in Atrlea lie was caplured
by the more savage Dahomeys
and sold to the while slave trader,
Captain Hilly Smith of the Clothilde.
The 11 iiTort unates suffered indescribable
hardships during the 70-day voyage,
being kept most of tlWf Tlhie in
the foul hold of the vessel with only
a scanty allowance of bread and water
for subsistence.
They were finally landed on the
Alabama coast and soon after sold to
various masters, whom they served
faithfully. After the Civil War they
gathered together to form a colony at
a Magazine Point, where they were
employed In a shipyard. Later they
bought some land and engaged In
truck raising.
Hut one by one they passed away,
leaving Cudjo Lewis as the only link
between the African slave traders and
tlm present. He still cultivates Ills
garden and serves as sexton of a nearby
Negro church. In the graveyard of
which his wife arid six children are
buried lie told Mr. Hlumenthal:
"Some of these days 1 tek time to
die. When I go, 1 ain't got fur to go."

8ETTING AN EXAMPLE
A IVw mornings ago u colored man
of middle ago und with one log mlssIng
entered our office. He walked
on crutches ami seemed not very
much accustomed' to this mode of
transportation. Hoforo he crossed the
threshold he stopped and with evident
difficulty shifted his crutches so
as to he able to remove his hut, und
then with hut in hand he enteredr
This wuh such un unusual hit of
courtesy that it taught our attention.
There was a day when u man did not
even talk to a fellow man, to say
nothing of a woman, with a pipe between
his teeth, and never did he
stand in the presence of a woman
ttjth his hat on his head. Old fashioned
ways, perhaps, and certainly lrf
thtrdikeard now, but did not wo throw
awa^ something valuable? One by
one we are casting off those finer
Instincts which make living a tiling
of rare beauty. Courtesy at host Is
a frail tiling, it can be so easily destroyed
by a bit of temper, a little
Jealousy, a spark of hatred, and once
destroyed it is not so easily mended.
Courtesy is a gossamer-like tiling
which holds in chock the cruder, the
busor tilings of life. It deserves our
careful protection for it even acts as
a check-rein on our thoughts, und
thoughts lead to action. Old fashioned,
perhaps, but here for a purpose.?

we would allso like to have some
cannon balls to pile around big herthy,

NOW! BIG CHANCE FOR PROFITS
IN THE PROSPEROUS AUTO INDUSTRY
You, too can share in the substantial profits that
are to be made from this industry. The Dodge Brothers
Corporation is looking, right now, for an enterprising
dealer in this territory.
Statistical authorities, bankers and economists
agree that profit opportunities are unlimited RIGHT
NOW for alert and aggressive merchants in the automobile
business.
Starting in 1933, the industry picked up momentum,
and began to lead the country out of the depression.
Sales increased by a wide margin in 1934. This
year bids fair to be the best the industry has enjoyed
in many years.

Firestone High Speed Gum- I

on road and track for safety, speed,

Firestone Tires are not only blojy^ut^proof but give WagM
greatest protection against skidding. *,v
* mn
THERE ARE THREE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS THAT WILL SOLVE YOUR
PROBLEM OF WHAT TIRES TO BUY
1"Will the tread give me the greatest traction and
protection against skidding?"
Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone
High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 15% quicker than any
other of the leading makes.
For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on
the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a
skid means death. This is undisputed evidence that Firestone
gives car owners greatest protection against skidding.
J "Are they blowout-trroof?"
Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have tHfc most amazing
records for being blowout-proof of any tires ever built. In the
gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one of
the 11 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires.
Kelly Petillo won the race and broke the record over this
26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble?in fact,
not one of the 33 drivers had tire trouble of any kind.
Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone
Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles
in 23 1 2 hours, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per hour,
with temperatures as high as 120", without tire trouble of any
kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection
ever known.
"aI "Without sacrificing these ttco important safety
^ features ivill they give mo longer mileage, thus
making them the most economical tires I can buy?"
Firestone High Speed Tires not only give you more than
50% longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile. This is made
possible bv the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher
shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This thick, rugged,
scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum-Dipped
cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra
layers of jcords under the tread. This is a special construction
feature not used in any other tire. Uneaualed mileage records
by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of the longer
wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires.
