Recorder Dancy has covered a wide field on the! platform this year, extending from Flor- ida to Connecticut. He was at Pater- son, N. J., last week, and spoke at one of the largest and most fashionable white making the following reference to it on the Monday morning following: “The Hon, John C. Dancy, LL.D., lay delegate to the Colored Methodist Epis- of the Broadway Reformed Church last night. A large congregation was pres- ent and listened with unflagging inter- est to his address for three-quarters of an hour. Dr. Dancy is an eloquent speaker, and thrilled the audience with his earnest appeal to their patriotic, ethical and spirtual instincts. His re- marks were addressed especially to the men, but appealed to the young and old alike. At the close the pastor paid him a weil-merited compliment for his masterly address and sent through him a greeting to the President. After the servi almost the entire congregation went forward to congratulate him, It was indeed an interesting incident and spoke well for the race he represents as well as the speaker, that one who was born a slave could thus move an audience with the truth watch ‘makes men free’.” TEMPERANCE WORK.

COMPANY OF PHILADDEL- PHIA CONQUERS SUCCESS. The First to Pay Dividends. The Afro-American Realty Company ing in Wesley A, M. E. Zion Church, ing was inclement, but a good-sized au- dience was present. Besides the officers, the Rev. Dr. Morrisey, pastor of Wes- ley Church, the Rev. Dr. Taliaferro, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Counsellor G. W. Mitchell and Bishop J. S. Caldwell spoke. The audience seemed much pleased with the common addresses delivered by men of experi- ence and affairs. Dr. J. S. Lennon, the president, acted as chairman of the meeting. He gave a brief account of the company’s methods of dealing with the public and said that the company had reason to congratulate itself upon the measure of success at- tained, and proceeded to introduce the speakers. Mr. G. ‘W. Henley, the ap- praiser, made an interesting talk and told in a brief manner how the company was given birth. The secretary, Prof. H. T. Knealing, read his anmtal report which showed that the company’s re- ceipts for the year ending April 10, 1907, were $8,000. His report also show- ed that the company owned real estate, clear, easily valued at $10,000, and plans were being laid to begin building oper- tion on its property in Anacostia, Wash- ington, D. C., containing 70 or more lots. “The houses to be built,” said the secretary, “are to be of a fair quality, to attract the most people of Washington and of the country.” One gentlemen of means in the Pine Bluff, Ark., has writ- ten to have three lots reserved for him, and a dozen more persons in the city of have spoken for houses, The treasurer, Rev. Dr. G. L. Black- well, said: “The funds of the company are in good condition and I am present to carry out the order of the directors, not in declaring dividends, but to pay dividends,” and after informing the peo- ple that the company’s shares were still selling at par, $5.00 each, he proceeded to hand out the checks for the six per cent dividend declared by the directors at a previous meeting. So elated over the fact that one col- ored company had so invested the peo- ple’s money that it was in a position to Pay a six per cent dividend, several per- sons came forward and subscribed for nearly $500 worth of stock before the meeting closed. During the meeting Bishop Caldwell, Dr. Taliaferro and Dr. Morrisey each remarked that they were glad to live long enough to see one colored company pay dividends. The Bishop said that he was a “joiner,” that he had joined every company around that seemed to have a promise of success and that he had been looking for a dividend check for these many years, but the Afro-American Realty Company of Philadelphia, was the first company of which he was a member to ever declare and pay him a dividend on the money he had invested. “I believe,” said he, “that the Afro- American Reality Company of Philadel- phia is all right because it has so han- dled the people’s money so as to redeem its promises, while the other colored companies, many of them, are doing well. I highly recommend the Afro-American Realty Company and its management as being worthy of the people’s confidence, and one in which the people’s money will be safeguarded and profitably invested. Since the meeting there has been great activity in the sale of stock and the out- look for a much increased business for the ensuing year is exceilent. It will pay all who want a first-class investment to buy now before the stock rises. JOHN E. McGAW. He is the greatest ice manufacturer in the city. Mr. McGaw is a man whom everybody knows.
