By Hubert Manning, Claflin Col- ] lege, Orangeburg, 9. C. The past of the Negro has been remarkable, but will his future be the same with the breaking down heaval o?f. the present one? After hnn rirtrr nf tKu that the Negro has made in auch a short period, 1 also jOi'n in tS"" rejoice with the nation for his won derfu) and rapid progress. The"? thought that uiises in my mind is "will he continue?" There are a few detrimental ideas that hold sway over the minds of the Negro ; that might prove fatal to his future progress. The race as a whole is too satisfied with what has been done. We , sit down in a trance adm'-ring what Booker T. Washington, Paul L. Thinbar, Richard AJlen, and many-others -have contributed tothis civilization; but these men faced obstacles, confronted advefF/ties, studied by pihe knots i n ] ;limbiiig~t-he ladder of success.

Just as every one's desti- * ly lies within himself, so lies the detiny of every race. Apparently J the Negro has rendered to the tide _ af cnctnwstance ahd~d"rifrs_ with :he tides of hope. j I admit that he has held audiences spellbound with art and mu- I jic that came from his surging ' soul, made great contributions to i the fiejd of literature _in -foreign. :ounti?'es as well as America, held ' s sway over the entire trends of art down through the ages, gone * down in the bowels of the?earth ancestors to prove his history and rr^de tftany other contributions thut demand recognition, but the j present generation must surpass } these realms. My hat is off to the Negro of the past who maintained the postition he did in such an un? equal social system. He subdued j rassment that the present genera- f tion might thrive" successfully in a ) competitive age with competitive ( people. JOLLY WORKERS CLUB ( 1 Seneca, S.
