Masterful Address I>elivered .-by Rev.

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.

-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

predicted that the Negro could not t
long .endure. The line was drtrtfn, t
and the stake set,"?so far shatfcjhou r
go and 110 further; ' .
But tie* Negro was not to be (lis- {
ce.i agd. With .faith in God he ,
s'arted upon the .new life with" a

?That. The Netrro has made ranid

a truth that cannot be denied. No '
other race unjier the sun lias beer
