"If A.M.A. means _A Million Accepted_, I hope you will be able to write
it once a year till you can build churches, school-houses and colleges
all through the South, but not enough to take away from the churches of
the North and East the privilege of helping the poor and needy till they
are able to take care of themselves."

Rev. Chas. H. McIntosh has for some months assisted Dr. Roy in
collecting funds for the Association, using a stereopticon as a
means of illustrating his lectures on the varied phases of our
work.
Pastor Leeper of Red Oak, Iowa, writes: "We were much pleased with
Brother McIntosh's lecture and exhibit. He does well, and makes in every
way a good impression. The lantern works promptly and makes clear
pictures. That mode of presenting the work is the best I have seen. The
people will not soon forget what they saw and heard. They were surprised
to know that the A.M.A. is doing so extensive a work. I had often
preached on the subject, but pictures make the facts stand out so much
more vividly. We had crowded houses."

Rev. J.B. Chase, of Hull, Iowa, wishes to complete his files of the
_American Missionary_ to have them bound for a public library. If any of
our readers have the numbers for August and September, 1880, and April,
1878, that they can spare and willingly give, it would be a favor to us
if they would mail them to the above address. Our edition for those
months is exhausted.

THE SUPREMACY OF THE WHITE RACE IN THE SOUTH.
Never since the days of reconstruction and of the adoption of the
Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, has the question of the equal
suffrage of the races in the South awakened public attention as it does
now. In many quarters, some of them very influential, the right of the
Negro to a fair vote and a fair count is strenuously advocated. On the
other hand, the supremacy of the whites as the ruling race in the South
is set forth by leading Southern men more distinctly than ever before.
WHITE SUPREMACY.
Col. Grady, of Atlanta, in his famous speech at Dallas, Texas, urges
this in these emphatic terms:
Standing in the presence of this multitude, sobered with the
responsibility of the message I deliver to the young men of the
South, I declare that the truth above all others to be worn
unsullied and sacred in your hearts, to be surrendered to no
force, sold for no price, compromised in no necessity, but
cherished and defended as the covenant of your prosperity, and
the pledge of peace to your children, is that the white race
must dominate forever in the South, because it is the white
race, and superior to that race with which its supremacy is
threatened.
