No state in the Union has greater reason to be proud of the excellent men sprung from her soil than North Carolina. For a long time this exclusively applied to white men, but when 1865 brought in freedom for the slaves a new era opened up for the colored men.
They have not been slack to grasp opportunity, as can readily be ascertained by any one who will make even a casual investigation, and the time is near at hand when
the Old North State will be proud of the quality of its negro citizens.
A splendid exponent of these capable men is Dr. J. P. Stanly of New Bern, N. C, who was born in that city June 23, 1886. His parents were Judge P. and Lavinia Bryan Stanly. His paternal grandparents were Anthony and Annie Stanly, and on the maternal side were William and Violet Bryan.
The elder J. P. Stanly was a real estate dealer, and the younger had the advantage of growing up in a business atmosphere.
Young Stanly attended the New Bern; graded school and the Eastern North Carolina Industrial Academy. His college training was obtained at Shaw University and his
medical education from Leonard Medical College from which he was graduated in 1912 with the degree of M. D. After taking special courses in Northern hospitals surgery and diseases of women and children Dr. Stanly began practice in his native town. He has combined the real estate business with his professional work, not allowing either to suffer. He is a prosperous and successful man in the worldly sense, but that he has the altruistic spirit is shown by his statement that the greatest factor in snaping his life was "the desire to be of great service to humanity and especially suffering humanity."
Dr Stanly has been quite a traveler, having covered the larger part of our own country, Canada and France. He is very active in church and fraternal circles, being a member of St. Peters A. M. E. Zion church, the motier of Zion Methodism in the South, and is Superintendent of the Sunday School, one of the largest in the South. He is Medical Director of the Odd Fellows, Masons, Knights of Pythias, Knights of Gideon, Eastern Star, and Elks, of all of which societies he is a member.
Dr Stanly has clear ideas as to how best to promote the interests of the race. He believes that more money should be appropriated to the schools-that more and better sanitation should be secured in Negro settlements that better traveling conditions, i. e., equal accommodations, should be given to negroes and that they should have recognition at the polls.
Dr J P. Stanly is a good and useful citizen doing his part day by day to relieve suffering humanity and to better general conditions. He has the respect of his community and is letting his light shine before men.
