Williams Enjoyed One oof the' most inspiring Emancipation Celebratipns in recent years took place at the P. A. B.. Church ov Jan. 1st. The auditorium of the church was almost filled to its caof life. Promptly at 12:00 o'clock the piogram which had been arranged by , tJio Citizens Committee, under the v; efficient Leadership \of Mr. Robert Calvert, was commenced. One of the. main features of the .day .was the Wondei ful and appropriate music rendered by the famous Allen's Brass | ."naiaU winch- lias always and is still fife pride of Beaufort. Another l'ea line ot me day wafs the general dis . cussion ficm the subject: "What can r. wc do to make this a bigger. and "" clli/elVs 6f Itraufoit dlPoussod th!r subject from every _angle, the con- , senses o; opinion being that fennmrcipa.ion Day will be better and bigger only when we fully realize what the day really means to the Negro. 1 - - j The program of the* day was climax"eu oy the masterful oration delivered by the Rev-. A. W. Williams, newly.: elected Pastor of . the ,F." A. B. Church /The- value of his address'can only be jj.p.eoiaied by .those" having either " "heard or?read" it-- The N palmetto Leader has kindly allowed sutficieni space in its valuable- columns to reproduce it in print, for which the entile citizenship of Beaufort feels givuciy indebted. At the close of the program, the citizens. ..onimittee, consisting of Mr. Robert Calvert, Chairman; Miss Addie : B. Haynos, Secretary; an^ Mr. 11. B.

"PM a discussion -of the theme, however, 1 must con the whole story of the Negro in America within the period allotted foi less tiiat it will be impossible'to tell ' this address. In fact, one can Scarcely give' a full account of the Ne 1 gto in America without restating in toto the history of the coutry. 5 Long before Columbus visited King Ferdinand and;' Queen Isabella ot ? pam in an elloft to secure liluney tor his adventure, the Negro had ' by his courage as a navigator whiten his name upon the pages ol , * AmdVican history. In proof of .his fact Pvctessor Leo Weiner of liaryard University has published'a treatise entitled "Africa and the liiscov ^ery of America," in which 'after care f l'ul invi sTfgalion the racts ' iui\\ been established, (hat many of the practices, rites, ceremonies and words p. aseu "by Lite Indians are in reality ot All ican oiigin. According to the account, given by Piofcssor Weiner,"the ILL .liaoit of smoking had its...beginning in Africa, and it was not until the. Negro.-came to this country that the Indians a'dopted it. The Negro was with Columbus oh all of his vo>a.ues to America.- Of course you will not find this written in large print in American history, but it is true that Alunzo Pietro, a Negro, was tlie pilot of the ship Nina one of the three ships used by Co-" lumbus when ho'""discovered Ameri? ca?in 1 -tt)Q. - In 1528 Kstevancio,---"Lattlc Stwe'1 -ing come to this country with l)e Nar ?,,.-vaux....4u. ,f>puuislw-u^>.kirory-.-aftor- the. -? failure of the e-xptntttitm set out up on an adventure of his own'the result. ^ cf. which was the discovery of Ari zuna and whgTl is nuw known as New Mexico, It is 'of interest to know that the -eentr ibulion - maiW -lijo-llte- Negro- to the early history of our country is gteht. He was with lleSoto in 1539 when he landed at Tampa |Bay, and continued with him on the expedition into Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri. Too, the Negro accompanied Corotnlo on his expedition to the Southwest in g 1512; and the first vessel to make the return voyage across the Pacific fiami - the +}a*rt Indies to Mexico was pdotted by a Negro. But not withstanding the inestiifiahie contribution that was made by" the Negro to the discovery of Amer ica, we find him in 1(519 returning ic this country as a slave, to cultivate the.soil and obey in every, instance rune uvni'M u iiut'i ivmnier* During the period of slavery, ] , which was in round , numbers . 2o0 ^ years, the Negro population increas^ id rapidly. From 2o brought o :er ?~ by n 1 hitch venue!?in. HilU, within a -t_. yery short time the, number had extended into the thousands. The rea mm tm- thi-t i-iipiil iTt.wtli \\us dill:, to the fact the Negro proved to be a great asset to the settlers. In cultivating the soil the labor of the slave was economical* Slave labor was tried in the North ^ but there the cold climate made it less profitable; therefore, it gradual 4 ly shifted from the North to the South where the climate and fertile v soil made possible a greater return . from the service of the slave. It is needless to say that' under this' ; system of servitude the Negro was' compelled to. suffer. Like the- children Israel in the land of Kgyipt, - they were forced,to make brick withwk out straw. They were given tasks that very often proved to be too great for them to accomplish within the allotted time; and not withstanding the fact they did their best, they were ?7. punished severely. On one of the slave farms in the State of Georgia we are told that the master nut only whipped his slaves when they failed to complete the assigned, but in a few cases it is known that he put them to " dfthl : 1 -..-.l-U 1 . -To add to the suP'vnitt? < v}> ione? d? i*-y ?-thre- s-lftVS s Y.'.W- ! h"~~ TP"!?fit"?>| -?t Inifr slaves ill or II 111 |;;;\ !, ( . | j' 111?
