Nashville Letter in New York Post. The paths of real success open to the negroes of this country were pointed out by conservative men of their own race at the recently adjourned session of the National Negro Business League. Those who pointed the way were men who have done things accomplished the tasks they set for themselves. Two facts were established: Any negro who proves himself fit and worthy of confidence has a better chance of success to-day than any man of his race has ever had before; and the white man of the South, perhaps even more readily than the white man of the North, Is ready to extend every assistance. Some of the speakers declared that in some cases their chief support came from the white people in tneir communities. The stories of the men who came here were for the most part straightforward recitals of facts, though usually lightened by flashes of humor. The men bore themselves well, repressing any inclination to boast. rather tending to point out their mistakes for the profit of others. Here are some of the stories of these men set down as nearly as possible as they were told: L. Winter, a local produce dealer, whose business was established in lb, read this paper: "I came to Nashville wltn my wire in 1SCÖ with only one suit of clothes and $12 cash in my pocket. I began business as a retail merchant, with my wife as my assistant. I asked my bookkeeper to give me a statement to-day of my shipments, and I find that I have shipped north, east, south and west within the last six months goods to the amount of $50,000. "I think thi3 is doing well for a negro who has never attended school a day, save the Sunday school. 'I have the distinction of being the first produce merchant in Nashville to place his goods in Havana. 'I have often felt the need of an edu cation. I must thank Mr. Wilbun Winter (my former master), who taught me that to be honest is the best way to succeed in the world. My advice to young negro men Is (1) be honest; (2) work hard and save what you get: (3) place no price on your labor until ytm are master, and never say that you can t do. He spoke of the large number of fowls he handled. A tall black man with a serious race stood up: . "Mr. President, will the speaker tell us where be gets all them chickens? Winter was forced to sit down, covered with inextinguishable laughter. IN THE DELTA. Charles Banks, of Clarksdale, Miss., is a very tall and very black negro, who has had a somewhat remarkable history. He was born in 1ST3 in the yard of Mrs. Clark. whose family founded the town, and he lives there to-day. He got what education he has at Rush University, leaving school when he was eighteen years of age. He got a job hauling brick and and, for which he was paid 50 cents a day. He continued at this work for several months, until he had saved $5C, when he determined to go into business on his own account. When be had hired a tiny storeroom and stocked it with merchandise his capital was ex hausted. By small degrees he prospered una got the confidence or hw neighbors. At first he told only to his own people. Business in the Delta is done on a longterm credit basis. Farmers and planters get "advances oi groceries and staples, paying their debts after the crops are made and sold. Two short crops caused banks to fall in 1S7. He was thrown all aback and was without resources. He had so firmly established his credit and reputation for honesty that some white merchants in the town ("my white folks." he called them), advanced, without security, $S.O0O to put him ou his feet. Since that time he Ras prospered amazingly, doing a business of $2i.000 yearly. His store is on the main street in Clarksdale. in the same building witn tne largest nank in the community. Besides his business he owns two planta tions and raises IjO Dales of cotton yearly. I have never been hampered because of my color, he said. "Since I have been in business I have had the same business treatment as auy other merchant, I could

not have made anything myself without the white people's assistance. There is nothtng to prevent any negro from succeeding in business if he is competent and behaves himself." , , ... C. H. Wingfield. a typical negro of the best element in speech and manner, and a farm hand without ambition or mony until ten years ngo, is now a successful planter and merchant in Jonestown, Miss., and worth, according- to his own account,

t)Oi). He told tnts stoty: SUCCESSFUL MISSISSIPPI FARMER. "I was born in Virginia, forty-five years ago, and when I was a boy moved with my folks to North Carolina. I had to start to work in the fields as soon as I was big enough, and until ten years ago I stuck to that kind of work. I didn't save any money, and my wife and children didn't have anything except what they Just had to have to live on. I moved around from place to place, but didn't seem to do better. Then I emigrated to Mississippi. The man I went to work for had paid my fare, and I had to work it out on his place. Some of the negroes used to call me 'Convict,' and make fun of .my children, because their daddy was a convicL Now, them same negroes lift their hats when I come down the road, and says, 'Good mawnin'. Mister Wingfield, I hoie I sees ni wll "After working three years on shares with the man I was farming with, I had j saved $300. Then I bought 100 acres of land I on credit, paid for It in three years, and bought 217 acres more, paying cash for it. Next thing I done. I bought my home and paid $2.WO cash for it. Then I bought a business lot and built a store in town. Now I own seven lots in town and a plantation of 377 acres, with 2o0 acres under cultivation. I made 134 bales of cotton last year on 105 acres. Besides cotton, I buy and sell timber and barrel staves. "I have never had a word of trouble with any white man; they have always helped me, and I have never been discriminated against in my business. I couldn't have got on in my business unless the white merchants and bankers had helped me." Z. T. Evans is an old negro who owns a mattress works in New Orleans. Not until he was past middle age did he make any attempt to better his fortunes or become more than a mere day laborer. It is in this that the value of his story lies. "I was born in 1S17 in North Carolina." he began," but moved to New Orleans fourteen years ago. I was a mattress maker by trade, and sometimes I had work and again I didn't. I didn't save but a little monev, and when I was out of work all that I had put away would have to go. Nüne years ago I was thrown out of work, when I had $10 saved up. I couldn't gel a job anywhere, and all of a sudden I thought I would go into business for myself. I leased a vacant lot for a year at $tf a month. Then I got some old lumber and built a little shed to work under. I made my first mattress for myself there. I had to pay cash for everything I bought, even If it was only a spool of thread. None of the merchants knew me, and I didn't have anv customers. "For the first two years I didn't keep any accounts; what came in I put in my pocket and paid out as it was needed. In October, IS, I made my first deposit In a bank; it was $125. I am now floing a business of about $20,000 a year. I can buy goods on credit from any merchant in town, and my bank will extend me any accommodations they extend to any merchant or manufacturer. Over 93 per cent, of my customers are white people. I owe my success entirely to them. They were generous, and gave me credit and time when I first began, and I couldn't have done anything without their aid." OHIO NEGRO PROGRESS. Prof. Charles Alexander, of Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O., representing the Xenia Negro Commercial Association, said: "There are upwards of twenty-five negro merchants In Xenia, O., with an average capital invested of $00; about ten merchants who have invested upward of $1,000 each. One of the most successful merchants in Greene county Is William S. Anderson, grocer, of Wilberforce. He does a business of about 15,000 a year. Jordan Robb, of Xenia, does a business of about $4,0U0 a year in purely a negro settlement. The best blacksmiths in the city, of which there are four, are of the negro race. Three of the finest barber shops in the city are owned and conducted by negroes. We have a most successful undertaking establish ment and . one fine drug store, owned by negroes. There are two successful physi cians who have all the practice they can possibly attend. Some of the best printing in Greene county is executed by young men in the department of printing at Wilber force University. The Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D.. of Louisville, Ky., spoke for the business negroes of Louisville. He said: We have in Louisville two drug stores. two. millinery establishments, four caterers, five priming offices, six feed stores, seveu grocers, five tailors, six undertakers, two butchers, three insurance companies, three burial companies, two machine s-hops, two gents' furnishing stores, numerous eating houses and saloons, and also scores of churches. We are striving to teach the race in the right way, and in this work we are meeting with some success." E. J. Young, of Charlotte. N. C. has shown that it is possible for the negro to enter the Insurance business and succeed; that the members of his race believe in preparing for the members of their families after death. In discussing the "Insurance Business Among Negroes," he said: "In making up reports for the People s Benevolent and Relief Association of Charlotte, N. C, for the last year, we find that our society is under pledge to pay at least $37.045.50, and has paid at least $17,762.16 for sickness and several thousand dollars for death. "In 1899 I was in the city of Augusta, Ga., for the purpose of establishing our work there, and In every church there were two or three burial societies, whose names were Brothers and Sisters of Love, the Tribe of Benjamin, whose object was to take care of the sick and bury the dead. These twenty or thirty burial societies had together deposited in banks, white, of course, more than $20.0Ofl, and without In terest enough to establish a bank for them selves. Why not deposit it in the Bank of the True Reformers? "We have employed now 127 agents, twelve clerks and two office boys, making a total of 151 persons, each receiving upon an average $1 a day. making a grand total paid out of $257.S3 daily to run our business. We say now. and publish the same in our literature, that If anybody In the world has a claim against us, present the same. and. if legal, it will be settled or adJusted within twent5-four hours." IN KENTUCKY AND ELSEWHERE. Dr. W. H. Ballard, of Lexington, Ky.. Is a druggist. He said that he could purchase large bills of drugs from any wholesale drug house In the world because of his substantial rating in the mercantile agencies. He said that only 5 per cent, of the colored merchants are rated on commercial agency books. This, he said, is one of the reasons why the negroes have failed In business in so many instances. The big wholesale houses, he said, do not have confidence lr the negro merchants who are not rated with commercial agencies. Dr. Ballard Is the only negro member of the Druggists's Association of Kentucky, He said he means to follow the white man in his business as far us possible iu all that is right, and to eschew him in all that Is wrong-. C. W. Keats, a real-estate dealer of Little Rock. Ark., speaking of the condition of the negroes In that State, said: "Our condition is good. We live In a negro Jerusalem, and are treated right so long as we treat ourselves right. The white people regardless of politics, treat us nicely. We have no complaint to make. We are trying to make money and buy farms and homes, and we have more wealthy negroes in Arkansas than any other State in the Union." J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Va., a lawyer, said: "I have been in all the courts in Virginia, and there is no prejudice against the negro. All the prejudice I find is with the negroes themselves. We have seventeen grocers, three real-estate dealers, five lawyers, ten preachers and four physicians." T. G. Ewing said: "A few years ago a young man came to this city and started a shirt factory in West Nashville, and after finding business slow, turned the business over to me and asked me to run it, and we now are making1 shirts and everything from a doll dress to fine wedding garments We keep nine girls employed, and if e get the proper encouragement we can keen miy tujpivjt-vi. im we pay mem their salaries.
