Just before 5 o'clock a cheer went up from the crowd, announcing the opening of Gov Charles S. Whitman, who was accompanied by Capt. Crawl) of the Seventh Regiment, Rock Infantry, acting aide. The next ceremony was evening parade, after which the regiment passed in review before the Governor, marching through the printr streets of Harlem and then to the army for dismissal. Hayward warmly on the appearance of the regiment and declared that the organization and training of the Fifteenth Infantry was the biggest thing that had been accomplished in the State in the last year. Maj. Gen. O'Ryan, who saw the organization for the first time, was loud in praise, and the Adjutant General was enthusiastic in referring to the organization's efficiency. The Fifteenth Infantry was exactly those months' old; Sunday, the first company, having been "mustered into the service of the State on July 1, 1916. In return for the organization paraded 98 out of the 1,091 men. The regiment was commanded by Col. Hayward, with Capt. Hamilton Fish, Jr. adjutant. The First Battalion was commanded by Lientenant Col. Lotillard Spencer, the Second Battalion by Maj. Monson Morris and the Third Battalion by Capt. George F. Hinton, with First Lieut. J.

Three hundred more recruits are needed to bring up the regiment to the full strength demanded by the United States Army. A machine gun company being formed, made up of chantiers, is short of three men. It is Col Hayward's aim to make the Fifteenth Regiment the crack military organization of the State of New York. MINISTERS EXCERT INTH REGIMENT IN PARADE The Fifteenth Regiment, paraded through the principal streets of Harlem, is the most decorated soldiers were given a hearty ovation by thousands, who greeted them from windows and sidewalks.

PENALTY CLAUSE CHANGED New Managers Instructed Not All Managers Instructed by Producers Must be Throne Over to the Governors of the Poor-Federation of Colored Organizations Issues Statement. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGR.) HAIRSURG, Pa.-General reorganization of the board of directors of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital, Philadelphia, and the removal of Dr. N. F. Mossel as superintendent has been requested by the chairman of the legislative appropriation committee. The action resulted from disclosures made at a recent hearing on charges made by Dr. N. F. Mossel. A letter sent to the board of trustees by the chairman made the request. The communication states that the chairman have no objection to Dr. Mossel remaining on the staff of physicians and surgeons. The chairman "insist upon a thorough reorganization of the board in such a manner as will give them financial control and that this control no longer be exercised on our board." The letter asks that as soon as the "suggestions" are carried out the board of trustees report to the legislative chairman so "that the Legislature may be in a position to act upon the bill now before it, providing for an appropriation." A special meeting of the board of directors of the hospital was held last Friday and denial was made that any of the institution had been misappropriated. The board explained that so much of the management rested upon Dr. Mossel because "every man on the board is a digger in in his own way for his own bread;" because Dr. Mossel had been most active for the good of the institution, and because of "his efficiency, in medical science and his industrious habits give him a very pronounced place in the hospital." Dr. Mossel is insistent that nothing ever has been proved to warrant ousting him as the superintendent of the Douglass Hospital. JUST FROM THE SOUTH; ELEW OUT THE GAS Two laborers, giving their names as Thomas Curry and Nelson Jackson and their home as Jacksonville, Fla., blew out the gas last Friday evening at 245 West 53d street, barely escaping death from asphyxiation. Jackson and Curry reached New York Friday afternoon and were directed to the rooming house in Fifty-third street. They gave out the information that they had come North to get work, having decided to leave the South for good. Early Saturday morning a lodger was attracted to the room occupied by Curry and Jackson by the smell of gas, and entering the gas-filled room they found both unconscious. The police were notified and Curry and Jackson were taken to the hospital in a serious condition. After working over them several hours they regained consciousness and were permitted to return to their stopping place. Jackson minds to hastily over, had made up their minds to hastily over, had made up New York, and when last seen with their suit cases declared they were on their way to Washington, D. C. (Special to The New York Acu.) NEWARK, N. J.—Negroes of the State of New Jersey are openly charging Governor Edge and State Senator Stevens with breach of faith, as a joker has been discovered in the enacted amendment to the Civil Rights laws which colored people look upon as an insult to their intelligence. Although the colored voters played a big part in bringing about the nomination of Edge for governor at the Republican primaries and rallied to his support at the polls in November, it is charged that he has not kept faith with them; that at the first opportunity to help them in their fight to secure their constitutional rights, he gave half the vote. At the opening of the New Jersey legislature the Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey championed a measure to have the Civil Rights laws amended so as to afford adequate protection against color discrimination. The new bill was introduced by, Assemblyman W. Irving of Glover, Bergen County, and was passed in the lower house without a dissenting vote. Republicans and Democrats concurred that the provisions of the measure all places of public accommodation were prohibited from disorientatory practices on account of color under penalty of damages in the amount of $500 or from thirty days to one year's imprisonment. Hostile Influences Active. Hostile influences, for a time, prevented action in the Senate, but through the efforts of a committee maintained at the capitol by the Federation of Colored Organizations the bill was finally passed in the upper house and sent to Governor Edge for approval. The governor, a recent failure, to sign the bill at once, giving the opponents of the measure an opportunity to secure its recommitment for amendment, and through the efforts of Senator Stevens of Cape May County, the penalty was amended so that damages recovered will revert to the overseer of the poor, and the penalty would be imposed instead of to the plaintiff. In other words, a Republican Legislature has passed a measure which prevents a colored person subjected to discrimination from receiving one cent damages. It is charged that opponents of the original bill effected a compromise with the legislators and Governor Edge, feeling assured that if Negroes were to bring suit because of discriminations in places of public accommodation would be lacking. Federation of Colored Organizations Makes Charges. The following statement has been issued by the Federation of Colored organizations of New Jersey: Colored people are openly charging Senator Stevens and Gov. Edwards with breach of faith. They point to the fact that the measure was in the hands of the Governor for 24 hours after passage, and that his failure to sign the bill (Consisted on Page 8.) Labor from the Southland Is Facing New Conditions; Plan Social Service Work MAY NOT PROFIT BY THE FARM LOAN BANK Rule that Borrower Must Belong to Association Handicap to Some Colored Farmers. Members of Federal Farm Loan Board Has Informed White Farmers that Colored Farmers are Not to be Discriminated Against--Oppose Raising of the Race Issue. (Special to The New York Am.) NEW ORLEANS, La.—Farmers of the race in some sections, who expect to enjoy the right to borrow money from the Federal Farm Loan Bank in their respective districts, the same as the white farmers, seem likely to be disappointed. In order to be able to borrow from the Federal Farm Loan Bank the farmer, it appears, shall have to be a member of a farm loan association of not less than nine members. This rule is a handicap against the Negro farmer in every neighborhood where the white farmers organize an association, and will not permit the Negro farmer to become a member of it. All applications, for loans must be made through an association of this kind in order to be considered at all by the Federal Farm Loan Board, and, therefore, where there are not a sufficient number of Negro farmers in the same neighborhood to organize an association among themselves and the white farmers keep them out of theirs, the Negro farmers will have to borrow, if they want to make improvements, like their white negro farmers from other sources, than the Federal Farm Loan Bank, which loans money under the system at 5 per cent. Applications of several colored farmers in the farm loan district, composed of the States of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, to become members of neighborhood association have not been made in the past, and several outright and in other instances their applications have been taken under advisement, pending a decision asked for on the question of admitting Negro farmers to the benefit, from and by the Federal Farm Loan Board. It is not clear whether the Negro Board, on receiving these requests for a decision upon the issue raised by the applications of Negro farmers to become members of such association, replied that there was nothing before the board in the requests; that loans would be made to Negro farmers in the nation, so long as the farmers be on the land and seek to improve it and increase production. Want Entire Community Improved. It is learned further that the members of the Federal Farm Loan Board have advised their correspondents not to raise the race issue in the matter of farm loans, admonishing them besides that they must remember that the Southern white man has always claimed he is the industrious Negro farmer, and that he must prove it in this instance. It is said they asked their correspondents if it was not self-interest to improve an entire community instead of parts of it, which would be the case if the Negro farmer in any section were prevented from borrowing the money that would permit the progress so much desired. The Negro farmer is alleged, to treat the matter strictly as a question of business, and not as a race issue. In Alabama, in 1910, there were 110-387 Negro farms; in Mississippi, 164-488, and in Louisiana, 54,819. These farms were all increasing in value rapidly. If the owners of these farms be allowed to borrow money at 5 per cent from the Federal Farm Loan Bank, like the white farmers, for improvement and for increasing farm productions, there is no doubt that they would further increase the values of their farms as well as turn out larger and better crops. HOWARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D. C.—It is stated upon reliable authority that Dr. S. M. Newman has resigned as president of Howard University. Many speculations are being indulged in as to his probable successor, in which the names of Prof. Kelly, Dr. W. Dr. Tunnel, George W. Dr. W. others are mentioned. It is now rumored that Dr. E. L. Parks, treasurer of the university, will succeed him, as the most available and competent person to be in charge of the university. Just below the rugged cliffs of the Palisades, on the New Jersey, shore, there is to be found a Negro camp. Although not a military camp, the campers are nonetheless fighters. For nearly nine months there has been waged one of the battles in the industrial conflict in which the Negro is engaged. Here the advance guard of the industrial army, from the South have been wrestling with the forces of nature and modern progress in their efforts to adapt themselves to the changes of a more rigorous climate, more exacting conditions of labor and above all against their own weaknesses, peculiarly susceptible to the temptations of a new environment. The camp is located in the freight yard of the West Shore Railroad at Weehawken, and the men are employed by that company in handling freight. Under extreme necessity, due to the scarcity of Northern labor of this class, the road began to use Negro labor last July, beginning with fifty men. The number has run as high as four hundred, at which it remains at present. The supplies drawn on for this supply are Wilmington, N. Carolina, S. C. Louisville and Paducah, Ky., Cincinnati and Cleveland, Q., those from the last two cities having originally come from further South. sorb these newcomers who bid fair to make good citizens, into the life of the community. How this can best be done is the task set before the organized betterment workers. EFFECTS OF MIGRATION AT ABYSSINIAN CHURCH All standing room at Abyssinian Baptist Church was occupied Sunday morning and another large audience was present in the evening. The pastor, Rev. A. Clayton Powell delivered stirring messages at both services. Twenty-ix persons were given the benefit. Chief Faults of Laborera. The chief fault found with this class of laborers is that though good workers at times, they are not always to be relied upon, according to reports, and cannot be depended upon to work the job at night, at night, laying off when they get tired, and when they off for two days after pay day. The winter, however, proved the most trying time and better results are looked for with warmer weather. With the first of April the rate of pay was raised to 24 cents an hour for work and holidays, and 30 cents; for Sundays and holidays also, 25 cents; for two days this period also affords better results in which the men are housed together with clean cots, and bedding. Shower baths and washing facilities have been provided to promote personal cleanliness. The men feed themselves, certain cars being fitted up as kitchens, and rooms. Of the fresh cooked corn bread, baked an aron, and the savory odors from stoves and ovens, show the fare is not to be sneezed at. Through this system of camp cooking the expense of board is stated to be about $3 to $3.50 per week. As lodging is practically free, ample margin is allowed for saving. Here is the temptations of liquor and gambling interfere with the best intentions. In order to fight the forces of evil and bring about a better condition of things: the company fitted up a Y. M. C. A. car with tables and chairs and a window, unfortunately, too strenuous usage broke the windows. Meetings are held by mission workers from the "Hill" in Weehawken and from the R. R. Y. M. C. A. at Durham. A prayer meeting was formed and at one time became quite popular, but the temptations prevailed over the leaders and it is said to be not so prosperous now. Religious Instructor Needed. What is specially needed among these men, according to those interest, is a religious instructor who is a good mixer and who could spend six hours a day on the job. There is the making of good citizens among the men, when the shiftless and unreliable element is weeded out or brought into a better way of conduct. Plenty of religiousism is shown in the singing at the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday meetings, which impresses all heathen. Many of the men are fine physical specimens of humanity and it was said that a colored regiment could easily be raised among them in case of need as they would make good fighters. They make good money and should be encouraged to save it and let liquor and "crapes" alone. Their charitable instincts are shown by the fact that they make a voluntary contribution every month to the hospital, and every payday charity solicitors visit the hospital with results. Among the cars situated by Tria Agr representative, are the following: Wilmington, No. 1, in charge of Henry Gibhs; Wilmington No. 2, in charge of Sam Nesbitt; Louisville No. 1, in charge of Henry Black. All united in saying that the men got along fairly well the past winter. With the spring sunshine all hands seemed to be in good spirits and the men of the night shift were engaging in lively baseball practice during the afternoons. The spirit of optimism was in evidence and the hardships encountered around the camp and the hardships of the past tered forgotten in the coming of warmer weather. Any exhibition of outside interest in their welfare appeared to be welcome and the opportunity for social service organizations to organize a facility organization of New York would appear to be unlimited. As it was plainly put by those in touch with the situation, the conditions of living and working were fairly well adapted for single families with absence and facilities for the housing of families rendered it less desirable for those who were married. There is therefore need to enlist all influences that will ab- sorb these newcomers who bid fair to make good citizens, into the life of the city, and this can best be done is the task set for the organized betterment workers. EFFECTS OF MIGRATION AT ABYSSINIAN CHURCH All standing room at Abyssinian Baptist Church was occupied Sunday morning and another large audience was present in the evening. The pastor, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, delivered stirring messages at both services. Twenty-six persons were given the hand of fellowship. Forty-six people have united with the church from his vacation weeks ago. The unusually large audience conditions to the church are due chiefly to the migration from the South. More than half the forty-six members fellowshiped are recently from the South. They represent the following States: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and ennessee. All of these with one exception holding good positions and seem depressed with their new conditions. The men are working in railroads, docks and other strong physical manhood in position. The women are, doing, drought and growing from their poor conditions, more than their the same work in the South. The pastor members of this church are doing everything to help these newcomers to secure the positions, adjust themselves to their new environment, and to make them feel at home, generally. The offerings are also increasing. The last three Sundays the church has received $507.19. Of this amount $22 was donated to the Lincoln Home and School, the Sunshine Worker Society, $16 to the Highland-Hedges Society, an organization of the church which makes a specialty of clothing and feeding the poor children; $20.23 to the poor and needy adults. There will be a special sermon at the church Good Friday evening, followed by baptismal service; their plan is planning; special Easter music; a service next Sunday and the pastor will deliver monks in keeping with the spirit of the day. Saint David's Consistory will worship at the church in the evening. LABORERS HAVE SHOWER BATH IN NEW JERSEY The old Pennsylvania railroad station in Jersey City has been turned into a dormitory to house some 200 laborers from the company Comfortable beds have been supplied, together with shower baths and other facilities for the comfort and health of the workers. The men are said to be contented with their surroundings and the pronounced by the railroad officials to be of unusually good character and to be giving satisfactory results. They are paid from $12 to $15 per week. The Ministers' Union of New York City has been taken an interest in the spiritual welfare of these newcomers and has arranged to have one of the ministers, with his chair, visit them each Sunday to hold a service. Last Sunday the service was held by Dr. Wm. H. Brooks of St. Mark's M. E. Church. The men are generally responsive to the men manifested in them and avail themselves for instruction. Many of them come from Georgia and Alabama, and while some returned home during the Winter, the prospect is that the greater number of them will return, bringing their families with them. SCOTT IOPLIN'DIES MENTAL TROUBLE Scott Joplin, known throughout the United States as a composer of syncopated music, died Sunday at the Manhattan State Hospital, where he had been confined for a number of months for mental trouble.

Boston, Mass.—There is staying at the People's Palace with the Salvation Army, this city, a Zulu chief, the ruler of 5,300 men in three leading tribes, the Magnolias, the Benjamins and the Malmandoras. At home he is Rubum Andozer in phonetic English spelling, but in English he is named manies he is known as James Manley. He is the guest of Colonel Gifford and Ensign Frank Sulzer, for Andozer is a Salvation Army man through and through. He is 61 years old, but he would have to tell it to you, to make you believe he was more than 40. His hair is black and curly, and his teeth as complex as his teeth, and chief of his home tribe at the age of 19. He is one of 25 children, 50 of whom are still living. He speaks English surprisingly well He speaks with equal ease French, Germany, Italian and Spanish Including the tribe dialects, he is able to converse in 27 different tongues At home in Johannesburg he is the handmaster of a band of 155 pieces. In this country he is the chief engineer of the steamer South Africa which now in Roeland for a cargo food-supplies This is his first visit to the United States, and according to his expressed desires his last, if he can help in He doesn't like the cold and is sighing for the warm zephyrs of his native land in Central South Africa Andozer was a chief and led his men against the English in the Zulu War, and later fought with the English in the Boer War At that time he was chief of the war who ate with relish human flesh but still ate with bread He seldom eats meat of any kind His conversion to Christianity was brought about by General Booth and Captain Trotter of the Salvation Army. Both the general and the captain were held captives of the tribe and were intended for a grand tribal feast when Andozer was impressed by the prayerful attitude of his captives.

During the fifty old person's mission church, aside from those who went elsewhere, 300 Enrolled for Military Camp. Dr. J. E. Spingarn announces that nearly 300 men from all over the United States have enrolled and will attend the proposed military training camp for colorado officers. All are said to be graduates or undergraduates of colleges, high schools or normal schools. Every profession is represented. A considerable number of college professors and one president are included. Dr. Spingarn says the officers of the Eastern Department of the United States Army are considering details of the camp, and that unless all the training camps in the country are dropped in the new war situation, the proposed colored training camp will go through, and is likely to be held from June 5 to July 2 at one of the forts or army posts along the eastern coast. It is the opinion of Dr. Spingarn that at least 500 men should go to the camp. Editor's Note—This article is published as a matter of news out of courtesy to Dr. Spingarn. The Age is still opposed to a separate training camp for Negroes.

Its peace must be planted upon the trusted foundations of politi- cal liberty.” “Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vin- dication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion.” “We are but ona of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be vatisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the ‘Sreadem of the nation can make them.” “We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that tho Same standards of conduct and of re- “sponsibility for wrong done shall be Obeerved among nations and their Gov- ornmeats that are observed among the Individual citizens of civilized States.” » “We are now about to accept the “gage of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and ite ipower, We are glad to ight thus for ‘the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the (German peoples included: for’ the rights of nations great and amal! and the privilege of men overywhere to ghoose their way of life and obedi- “ence.” “It ia a fearful thing to lead this great, peaceful people into war, into the mest terrible and disastrous of all ware, civilization itself seeming to be In the balance. But tho fight is more (precious then peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearte—for do- mocracy, for the right of those who eubmit to authority to have a voice in thele own governments, for the rights | = er oe make the world iteelf at Jast free” We have grown to look upon President Wilson as the “High Priest of Justice,” and within us flickers a ray af hope that the Ne- groes of the United States will profit by such ennobling and lofty sentiments so ably expressed by the spokesman of “one of the champions of the rights of man- kind.” “Mr. Wilson is right when he says: “Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be.” When this idea is more forcibly impressed on the minds of some Americans we feel sure there will be an end to the lynching of inngggnt people in this country. And to this thought: “But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts—for democ- racy, for the right of those whc submit to authority to have 2 voice in their own governments. The Age says AMEN! SOUTHERN PRESS ON MIGRATION. pati A abe iene atten aera tae the Negroes of the South has re ceived a wide and thwrough dis- cussion in the newspapers of that section, which has been marked by the utmost frankness and free- dom on both sides. The colored editurs have been outspoken in assigning segregation, jim-crow- ism and lawlessness as some of the causes contributing to the movement, and many of the white newspapers have agreed with them. While here and there a cau- tionary note is struck as to the necessity of investigating labor conditions before taking the final steps in changing their surround- ings, there is almost no direct ad- monition against the effort to bet- ter race conditions. This state of affairs had been apparent in the clippings published in The Age recently from its exchanges. This spontaneous expression of sentiment is not to be allowed to run its natural course, however, without some effort at manipula- tion, judging by the earmarks of certain inspired articles published in some of our Virginia ex- changes A riking feature of this Sepa pi started against migration is a three col- umn wide cartoon depicting the ills encountered by the migratory worker at the North, under the caption, “Home Ain't Nothing Like This" Of course, this meth- od of fighting migration i» on a higher plane than the bulldozing tactics of arrest and imprison ment employed in some sections Whether it will prove more effec- tive ar not remains to he seen But if the prediction of plenty of work at good wages 16 supple mented hy fair treatment in civic affairs, the movement may he minimized in the section affected Tn South Carolina the fatlure of justice in the attempt t indict the murderers of Anthony Crawford at. Abbeville is given much weight as inducing the departure of many from that State The Co- lumbia State, a leading white daily. recognizes this condition and frankly asks its readers if they would not leave the South under similar provocation In Richmond, Virginia com- plaint is made of the appressive exaction of a poll tax, after the denial of the right to vote and! the vitiation of the property rights through segregation ordinances. The Rishmond Planct asks “Is this not enough to make the aver- age colored person feel like going somewhere this side of Heaven?" Enough has been said and juoted to show that the editors of the Negro press are not biting heir lips on the question, but are speaking out with frankness and ourage It is an encouraging Paar, ee es tga Ge PEERY Sy VIEWS and REVIEW'S * JAMES W. JOHNSON, Conraisurmg Eprros . 99959090900 0000060009005 900404000009 0908 THE DUTY OF THE HOUR. i Very tew have been the acts or utterances of President Wilson to which we could give endorsement, but we canng&ut say that his war message to Congress is a great state document. For once he does not give the impression of merely performing a feat in word juggling. His message is convincing; more, it is inspiring, and strikes a responsive chord in the great American public. Ever since the opening of the war, all of President Wilson’ utterances of the world relations of the United States have tended to break down the national spirit of the country. Within the past three years, Amer- ican nationalism reached the lowest point jn the history of the coyn- try. Under the tone set by the present Administration, American nationalism reached the lowest point at which a great nation could hold together and feel itself a great nation. At gne time the country was on the verge of breaking up into various{hyphenated groups. This message of the President greatly retrieves\what has been lost, but the loss of the past three years cannot be wholly retrieved by one utterance, no matter how great, = What Mr. Wilson said before Congress will have a far-reaching effect throughout the.svorld. The entente allies will be greatly en- couraged. Their armies along the whole battle front will be heart- ened. The move for democracy in Russia will be given new strength. And it is not too much to say that the President’s ae in effect, the sentence of doom for the Hohenzollerns of any and the Hapsburgs of Austria. We, as a race, might take the President up on some of the ref- erences to “humanity,” and point out their inconsistencies, as we so well know them; but, for the present, we pass that over. The Presi- dent is undergoing a great trial; the nation is about to undergo a kreater trial, Out of it all, there comes to the Negro a great duty, the g#ty of the hour. What that duty is we know, and have long known. The Negro will perform that duty. Not stupidly, not led by any silly sentiment, not blindly, but with his eyes wide open. He will not forget that this Administration has done him great injury, he will not forget that this whole nation has not done him justice, he will not forget that a part of this nation is determined that he shall never receive justice; but remembering all of these things, he will take up the duty that comes to him and, as glways, do his part; at the same time, repeating his demand that this nation do its duty by him. THE MASK THROWN OFF. We have received a copy of the “Scimitar” of February 1, 1917. ‘The “Scimitar” is a semi-monthly published at Abbeville, S. C. Under its title head, the “Scimitar” carries several mottoes which read as follows: “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” “The Scimitar is a free lance. It wears no man’s collar.” “All coons look jalike to me.” The leading article in this particular number was a long editorial entitled “The Caucasian Ueber Alles,” which was writ- ten to influence the grand juf} of Abbeville couiity’not to indict the men who had been arrested and charged with the lynching of An- thony Crawford. . . All the regular readers of The Age are familiar with the ‘case of Anthony Crawford, the wealthy colored farmer of Abbeville who was brutally lynched ecause he had passed the lie with a white man in a dispute over the price of cottonseed. After the lynching a dozen or so,white men were arrested upon two charges: murder and rioting in the streets. Abbeville is a small town of less than 5000 inhabitants. A town in which everybody knows everybody else. A town in which it is impossible for anybody to be and remain a stranger for more than twenty-four hours. Crawford was lynched in the streets of the town in broad daylight. So there is absolutely no question of the fact that it was well known who the leaders of the mob were. These leaders were arrested and brought before the grand jury, but the verdict in answer to both chargés was “Not guilty! The only thing “proved” was that Anthony Crawford came to his death at the hands of unknown persons. It is only fair to say that Governor Manning did make some ef- fort to secure a conviction of the men accused of this crime. He went so far as to summon the jury commssioners to Columbia, the capital Concerning this action of the Governor, the “Scimitar” had this to say: He summoned the Charleston jury commissioners to appear before hun tu confer as to the drawing of juries in liquor cases to be tried there, on a former orcaswn Now he wantonly invades the jury box at Abhe- ville, secking a means te convict white men accused of lynching an | msolent Negro Such conduct 1s in keeping with the man who as governor appointed Negroes ta office, and as lay delegate to the council tried to create a Negro bishop in the white Episcopal church. Such a man would hu- | miliate af possible the county that spewed him, byt he reckons without his host. the jury commissioners are not subsevient to his will, nor blinded hy the glamour of the office he disgraces The above paragraphs are merely an introduction to the argu ments whieh the editor of the “Scimitar” used to create a sentiment in Abbeville county that would demand a verdict of “Not guilty!" for the men accused of lynching Anthony Crawford. Arguments to stir up and kindle the most brutish instinct and sentiments of the white people of the community This editor, after a long review of slavery from his social, econ- omic and industrial point of view, leads up to and lay§ down the fol- lowing doctrine of white supremacy : phase ‘of the sittation, and it is equally encouraging to find lead- ing white journals recognizing the justice of the complaints Out of this imterchange of opinion should come a better un- derstanding of the situation and a remedy for some of the wrongs suffered by the race * Appeals for financial aid are being made by several organizations and institutions, appeals worthy of kindly consideration. At this time campaigns are being conducted in the interest of the Howard Orphan- age and Industrial School, the Y. M. C. A. Building Fund, the Fred- erick Douglass Mortgage Fund and the Booker T. Washington Memo- rial Fund. The Negro citizens of Greater New York are urged to liberally subscribe to all of these funds. THe Ace will be glad to receive contributions for these funds and will see to their proper distribution. BRR MAS agate ts iE ast GP SD RE Petey OMEN pe ee highest social caste'dl-Negroes, That would leave-a vacant place in {the social line to be filled only by a rich Negro, who could meet the social demands with a lavish purse. As I understand it, and we have all been taught from infancy, it means that the lowest white man in the social scale is above the Negro who stands highest by the same measurement. Now, what is the worst thing about this Southern White Man's Creed as laid down by the editor of the “Scimitar?” Is it that it is unjust? Is it that itis cruel? Is it that it is brutal? No, the worst thing about it is that it is true. Soften it down as much as you like, yet you cannot cover up the bald, naked truth that this creed operates as law. The fact cannot ‘be hid that in the uncivilized states no matter how honest, how industrious, how law-abiding, how cultured how wealthy a Negro may be, his fundamental rights are secondary to the rights of white men of all classes. There may have been ex. ceptions here artd there, but the exceptions only prove the rule, The editor of the “Scimitar” goes on further to expound the Creed of White Supremacy, and to urge white men to throw off the mask. He charges them with having hypocritically pandered td Northern investors by simply acquiescing in a non-enforced consti. tutional guarantee of equality to Negroes, then killing the Negroes for attempting to live up to this guarantee. He charges that South- ern white men have covered up their acts of violence by tales in the press—for Northern consumption—to the effect that “it was done by irresponsible parties,” and that “the best white people don’t approve of it.” He goes on to say: ¢ ‘That is a liel a hypocritical cowardly lie!! and should be stopped for the shame of it. The “best people” of South Carolina know that when white men cease to whip, or kill Negroes who become obnoxious, that they will take advantage of the laxity, and soon make this state untenable for whites of all kinds, and that under such conditions the “best” will be “ike the worst, and the worst like the best.” The point here made is, “that no matter who actually killed Crawford, the responsibility for his death rests upon us all alike, and because of his own reckless course, due to chest inflation from wealth, it was inevitable and racially justifiable. Here is still further elucidation of the doctrine of white suprem- lacy as preached and practiced in Abbeville and vicinity—not given in abstract terms, but in the personal terms of the writer: If a Negro should insult me, as a white man, the community would expect me to forceably resent it. Because the ruling sentiment demands that all white men must do so, for our mutual protection. If I did that and the Negro beat me instead, then the community, this community, any community, whether they liked me or not, would be forced to beat thee Negro to show others that they niiist not strike a white man. If he resisted and fought back they would kill him. That is the case of Anthony Crawford, and it will be the same with any other Negro in any community who dares to raise his hand against white men, no matter what the immediate cause. In summing up his plea for the acquittal of the men charged with the mob murder of Anthony Crawford, this defender of white nena in South Carolina said: : pose these accused men in this cage are convicted of riot, which the court will attempt to do. That will bf equivatent to the state saying to the Negroes, through the action of a jury, go ahead and talk to white men as you please, no words justify a blow and if a white man strikes you for doing so, prosecute him and he will be punished. ‘That is why Crawford is dead now. His wealth and coddling from white men desiring his trade, emboldened him to assume an equality that the whites will not tolerate. Tf these men are convicted of anything, the Negroes; im viewsof the fool meetings that have been held, and by a false transiation of' the vaporings thereat, will be encouraged to “sass” white people, then more Negroes will dangle from the pine tree at the baseball park at the lower end of a rope. 5 Men of Abbeville the eyes of white men are upon you. Acquit | yourselves as white men. The conditions made by us all, make ys all responsible, so let's not ask only eight to shoulder the aS: Answer a mawkish sentiment gegegsted by. hypocrisy and fear with the ringing verdict, Not guilty!” ~ There will be those, even in our own race, who will say and feel that this is not a true statement of conditions; that the opinions expressed by the editor of the “Scimitar” do not accord with the sentiment of the best element of white people in Abbeville | Grant that they do not accord with the sentiment of the best element, what difference does that make? The fact stands out that they accord with the prevailing sentiment of Abbeville, and the proof is that, in spite of the governor of South Carolina and the “best element” of Abbe- ville county, the men known to have murdered Anthony Crawford could not be convicted. We should take all the comfort and help possible from the senti- ment of the “best element,” but there is no sense im deceiving our- selves The sentiment of the “best element" is not the preyailing sen- trment of the South. The sentiment of the editor of the “Scimitar" Is the prevailing sentiment, and it is the sentiment we mist contend eyainst: for the only life worth lying for us in this country depends upon whether or not we can destroy it Then let us not delude ourselves. Let us not dose ourselves with soothing syrups or opiates. Let us be sensible and brave enough to look the naked truth square in the face, and take the steps, the organized steps, to secure and hold the one thing our opposers intend to keep us from having, the one thing that is worth our gaining, the one thing without which, all else is but loss—Full and unlimited American citizenship.

This home represents a work of twenty-five years, and provides a place where the old and feeble members of the race can be accorded good treatment in their declining days. The Rev. H. D. Proud, the popular pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who was recently besought by his congregation to pastor them another year, was duly installed Thursday. The Rev. B. C.

The Tammany Social and Amusement Club, and the Mystic Order of Hobgobblins, of which he was the founder, as well as other organizations, suffered the loss of one of their mainstays in the death of Alphonse Mix, who was buried Monday, March 26. The remembrances were taken to the Holy Ghost Catholic church in the Diedo street, where services were held. Alphonse Mix was in the restaurant and saloon business, corner of Perdido and Dryades street, for a number of years, and was successful. Several months ago he became too ill to continue giving his business personal attention and took a vacation to regain his health. Many a Negro paid his poll tax to aid the public school fund through his connection with the Hobgobblins, whose rules required members to be taxpayers and contribute toward a fund for the Christmas giving of toys to poor colored children every year. The large attendance at his funeral showed that Mr. Mix had many friends. He lived on South Rampart street, between Washington and Sixth, and believed in giving support to colored newspapers and magazines.

WALTON) TO-NIGHT (Thursday) will mark the first appearance of a colored dramatic company on Broadway, when Mrs. Hapgood presents three playlets dealing with Negro life, at the Garden Theatre. The first playlet, "A Rider of Dreams," portrays the inherent love, music and beauty in the Negro and the conflict of this with the severe conditions of modern American life. The second playlet, "Granny Maumee," is a tense and exciting melodrama, and the third playlet, "Simon the Cyrenean," is of a poetical character, dealing with Biblical history The playlets are being produced under the direction of the well known artist, Robert Edmond Jones, who designed the settings and costumes for "Til Eulenspe gel," the ballet produced last tall by the Ballet Russe The pieces were written by Ridgely Torrence, the poet The cast will include Blanche Deas, Lottie Grady, Inez Clough, Mme. Marie Jackson Stuart, Alex Rogers, Jesse A Shipp, Andrew Bishop and other actors of ability and promise. The strike of the White Rats, directed chiefly against the theatres of Marcus Loew, has been on for four weeks and neither side has shown a desire to effect a compromise. Very little is heard of the activities of the "colored" White Rats in the present strike, for the reason that they are expected to play only a minor part in the present controversy. Colored turns have not been working on the Loew circuit in large numbers, anyhow, this season, and their refusal to appear in the boycotted theatres would be of no consequence. Where the colored vaudevillian is expected to figure is in the event of Loew offering to put them to work. If they refuse employment then they would be playing the part desired of them by their brother White Rats. Scott Joplin's burning desire to have produced a ragtime opera he wrote many years ago was responsible for the composer's death, is the opinion of his friends. About twelve years ago in St. Louis Joplin started to write the book and music to an opera which he had finished when he came East ten years ago. One of his missions to New York was to interest someone in producing his ragtime opera. He was advised by musicians of ability to rewrite the opera, which he enthusiastically set out to do; but even after making numerous changes in the book and score found it a herculean task to interest people with money in the opera's production. His failure to have his opera produced weighed heavily on his mind, and a few months ago he was taken to Ward's Island, where he died Sunday. "Bob" Slater is presenting a musical show entitled "A Night at the Cabaret De Luxe," with twenty well-known people at the Lincoln Theatre. In the cast are Evon Robinson, Lena McKissick, Mae Brown, Gertrude Townsend, Ethel Watts, Lottie Ames, Charlotte Settles, Pinkie Walker, Mamie Moore, Joe Hedges, Buster Austin, Garland Howard, Sam Gaines, Dick Wells, "Bob" Slater, George Ecaud, Joe Hodges, A J Tureaud, "Jim" Slater and Tiny Ray James Reese Europe, the well-known musician, is back in New York after an absence of several months in Palm Beach, Fla.

The big comedian is in excellent health and will take a few weeks' rest prior to starting rehearsals for the new Ziegfeld show, which will open at the New Amsterdam Theatre early in June W. C. Handy, composer of the "Memphis Blues," was a visitor in New York several days ago.

GOOD IN EVERYTHING. To the Dramatic Editor of THE ACE the uplifting thought that abides with one upon leaving a performance of "The Wanderer" is that there is good in everything the tender-hearted, forgiving father is the divine spiritual self, and the prodigal son is the wayward self of sin and pain He has left his father's house in unrighteous motives and he will find, some day, somewhere and in solitude and in pain, that his waywardness is evil, and that his erring can never satisfy the need of his soul. Hopeless the solution unless the Wanderer seeks to know the way Hopeless the task of self-redemption unless the prodigal arises and awakens, unless he arises and goes into the house of his father and unless he awakens from his dream of sense and sin. The prodigal self returning to the house of his father is received into the spacious regions of a higher consciousness, where truth reveals itself to the immediate perception and where knowledge attends the very effort of man. In the larger consciousness, synonymous with the religious consciousness, man is made to know that which, hitherto, he has so earnestly and devotedly believed. On Life's mysterious path the Wanderer who seeks to find the narrow and true way will be assisted if by none other than the light of his own soul, for the light shines unbroken when the conduit of personality is educational to truer, nobler, purer ways. True to the teachings that the Scriptures of the world have ever voiced. This is immortal doctrine, it tells the true, it tells the real and asks of man that he shall arise, shall take in hand this lower self and raise it to its truest and most possible stature, the stature of divine truth and love. THOMAS WITHERSPOON New York City Music School Settlement Middle School Sectional Parents teachers and friends made up a large audience at the school Sunday afternoon to hear the pupils' recital, which marks the close of the recitals on Sunday afternoons.

Alpha broke the ice first by caging a tree throw, and right from that Alpha continued to win. In the second half it was expected that the Owls would come back strong. They did and so did Alpha and for a while both teams put up a hot contest. Finally Alpha broke ice in this half and scored two points before the Owls could stop them. Alpha had struck her speed, and this, combined with her accurate passing, baffled the Newarkers so that it was fully 8 minutes before they scored their first field goal. "Chuck" Mulford scored this two-pointer and it seemed to have put new life into his teammates. The Owls got more "pep" and tried to hold their visitors to a close score. But it was Gilmore who was responsible for the Owls' defeat. His work at center and his shooting were too much for the Newarkers. Nevertheless this did not stop them; it only put vim into them. When the game ended this half was won also by Alpha 17 to 10. The final was 29 to 18. In the preliminary the Owl Juniors defeated the Melrose Juniors of Orange in a one-sided contest. The first half closed with the Owls leading 11-0. The Orange boys have good team but seemed to have been puzzled playing in a cage. In the second stanza they showed real class and won that period by 4 points. Score for second half 10-6. Had they put up a fight in the first half like that of the second the score would have read differently from Owls 17 Melrose 10 ORANGE, N J—The St Douglass boys play such a brand of basketball that it seems as if no teams want to meet either them or their lightweights Carlton lightweights and the Jersey Invaders were both advertised extensively but neither teams put in an appearance However the Orange "All Star" Juniors sub the Brooklynites but lost to the St Douglass lightweights The St Douglass "Invincibles" lined up against their seniors.

Roger Williams University stands for the higher education of the Negro, and teaches along with it some trades, but they are such trades that will serve to make their students well-rounded men and women. In Macon, Georgia, white students cheered them again and again.

Richard Lee) NEWARK N J On March 29, at the New Auditorium, the Alpha "Big Luge" of New York met and defeated the Owls of Newark in a first and interesting game. Although the Owls were outlassed in the early part of the first half they fought hard and did not lose "pop" throughout the game. Alpha held the Owls in the first half scoreless of a field goal but Carter was in form when it came to shooting fouls and it was his caging of free throws that gave the Owls 8 while Alpha took the lead and scored 12 points. Gilmore and "Sing" Goode each caged two field goals, while Perry scored four free throws. On Wednesday evening, April 11, the St Douglass "Big Five" will meet the Spartan "Braves" of New York.

A special championship relay race for the local colored clubs has been arranged for. This will be known as a sprint medley, the distances being 880 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards and 220 yards, run in the order named. This will give each of the clubs a well balanced team, and a spirited contest may be looked for. The clubs who will enter teams are: St Christopher Club, Alpha Physical Culture Club, Salem Crescent Club, Spartan Field Club, Smart Set A C. and the Carlton Y M C A Hampton Gymnasium Exhibit HAMPTON, Va.—One of the finest numbers on the program of the Third Gymnasium Exhibit, given recently at Hampton Institute, was the aesthetic dancing of Miss Carriebel B. Cole, who interpreted Chopin's "Maxurka" and Kreisler's "Liebesfreud," played by Mrs. R. Nathaniel Dett. Miss Cole has completed the post-graduate course at Sargent, has taken courses at Columbia University, and has studied with some of the best private teachers in New York. She is now a teacher of physical training in the Washington public schools. The annual Hampton gymnastium program is given with the idea and hope of promoting a greater appreciation of wholesome recreation. The program included wand, apparatus, and dumb-bell exercises; gymnastic exhibitions and playground demonstrations for girls and boys; and characteristic folk dances. The Hampton physical director for girls is Miss Louise G Russell; for boys, Charles H. Williams. R. Nathaniel Dett served as pianist. Bronson New Matchmaker. Bronson Now Matchmaker. TOLEDO, O—Ray Bronson, who has been doing virtually all the matchmaking for the leading boxing clubs in Toledo has come to an agreement with Joe Fox, organizer of the Toledo Colored Athletic Club, whereby Bronson will also take over the matchmaking of this club. The local boxing commission refuses to allow mixed bouts between white and colored boxers but Bronson has lines out for many of the country's best colored mitt artists and expects in the near future to stage bouts in which will appear such celebrities as Joe Jeannettey, Sam Laneford, Sam McVey and George Christian. Fox retains his connection with the colored club having merely relinquished the matchmaking department to Bronson. Any colored boxers of ability desiring td appear in a Toledo ring might cor respond with Ray Bronson 1147 Ohio Building, Toledo O. Amateur Chess Championship.

BEAUFORT, S C-On Friday night, March 23, Rev and Mrs Lowery were invited out to the Mother school to tea, and to conduct their regular evening prayer meeting. The school is located about two miles from Beaufort. The faculty is composed of 15 white teachers and 5 colored. The enrollment for 1916 and 1917 has been 103. It is a school for Negro girls, and the entire faculty is made up of females. It is under the auspices of the Northern White Baptist Church. It is said to be the only school of its kind in South Carolina. They are doing a good work for the uplift of the Negro race in Beaufort county. Both the Rev and Mrs. Lowery addressed the students. The visit was a pleasant one, and they were invited to come again. Last Sunday, the fourth Sunday in March, was a great day at the Wesley M E Church in Beaufort Four lodges of the Knights of Pythias held their annual Thanksgiving with this church.

TANNER ON THE SECOND EXODUS (Special to Tan New Year, Ann.) ATLANTA, Ga.—Rev. C. M. TANNER, of Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, is timning "in which he sets forth the cause leading to the migration of the Negro from the South. Among other things he says: "A conservative estimate makes it certain that over four hundred thousand homes have left the South for the North and Northwest since last fall. It is equally certain that the real movement of our people from the Southern sections of this country is only begun. There are hundreds and thousands of Northeas all over the extreme Southern States and North Carolina who have de- sired and are planning to leave as soon as possible. Four thousand four thousand and around Blacks in the new months, and it is safe to say the exodus hasn't yet obtained any- thing its full proportions. thousands of our people made up their minds last fall to leave the South, but were prevented by two considerations: First—Many of them were under contract to a farming section, and the South had a northern winter also deterred them. But since the first of the white farmers in many sections of the South have found it impossible to secure help to even prepare the land for another year, many of the selected cotton seed pulled alba last week from the south-section of Georgia. It had been hard to fill orders given months ago, but owing to the fact that Negroes have left this section in such large numbers, those to whom this was assigned refused to help. Our men do not use their bands. Their bands were gone. I have traveled through all parts of Georgia and have spent some time in the southwest section of this great State, and there are plenty of plantation-large farms—that work as many fifty and seven-five pounds that have a single Negro. Negro people have simply locked the doors of their homes and to the train, leaving household furniture, cooking utensils and their other occasions. They were afraid to attempt to move them. In a number of cases they have even been assaulted the depots in Georgia, and that they were determined leave. The same is true in Ala- and Florida. attended a farmers' conference in Jersey, and it was a splendid, help-meeting. No mistake was made in selection of Dr. Moten as the successor of Booker T. Washington. He having a good work and speaks out meeting when occasion demands it, though the conference passed resolutions advising the Negro to remain in Wellesley, where he said it显然 You cannot take 'sane institution more than you can a sane individual commit suicide. Yet in private contact with farmers from all sections of the South, I found out that at least one cent. of them were thoroughly fitted with the economic, political educational, conditions around them, were planning to leave the first opportunity from the largest outside of Birmingham and Montgomery, is from Maury County, in which Tuskegee is located. Describe the stories carried in the news of this country that the Negroes in the North are starving, freezing and have fainting badly; despite the new government regulations—it costs $1,000 a day to be a labor agent in Georgia—we have been made to prevent labor and operate in this section, and the national fact that, in some places, early conferences have been held before readers of the two races and other interim leaders have been employed to prevent the Negro leaving, he continues to go. Although I would not assume the role of a prophet, and the facts in the case are so patent that the hazy vision of the prophet need not be attempted, it is role to say that the northern section of this country will see by midsummer early a million additional Negroes who have come from our section. I one, cannot believe that it is other than the one of God's ways to solve this tried problem of race adjustment. That There are so many sides to this ques- tion that the more one studies in the more varied and far reaching 'are' its phases. Who among all the political and economic specialists saw this as an opportunity? The economical, political, educational and religious outcome of this second exodus is far beyond human, vision to even approximate. The results are far more momentous than the physical precipitation given the race-fifty years ago. "In my book, divided into twelve chapters, I show something of the part that unrestricted and unpunished mob violence, inferior educational facilities, disfranchisement, segregation, jim crowism, injustice, especially, in the petty courts, and several other kindred matters. I show that we are making the determination of masses of our people to leave the South. I promise you it will be a great unpunished tale. "Some in this section are wondering what is becoming of our people who are going North. Some time ago I read a statement coming from the First Episcopal District in which it was stated that it was all right for the people to be going North. I read them. But with this invitation was warning that it was not best for any of our preachers to come as there were no places for them. Certainly the present churches do not mean to attempt to absorb this great mass of people. New congregations must spring up, and, doubtless will, all over the northern sections to which they have gone. It is not right for them to best for the interest of that part of the church, that new congregations should be formed. "The resolutions of welcome and the wise letters that have appeared from time to time from some of the bishops of our church, such as the communication from Bishop Coppin, have tended to perplexed and unsettled man and woman of our race." Strangely enough, this exodus is thus far without a Moses. No one man alone seems to have stirred these people to unrest and activity. But do not let our brethren think for one moment that because no one man of our race, up to us as the leader of this church, that the use of this section are powered and silent. "Bishop John Hurst in Jacksonville, Fla, a few weeks ago spoke in clarion tones for equal and exact justice. The statesman-like position of Bishop A. S. Flipper has been the utterances of a courageous leader, and within the last weekright in the city of Atlanta, Bishop J. S. Flipper declared to an overwhelming crowd at Bethel Church that it was God's band that was at war with the would-be ruler; that he would rather freeze to death in the North than be burned at the stake in the South, and that where opportunities presented themselves, the people should go. "The scripture is being fulfilled every day in our very sight, and it is evidence to make our people in this movement profit for it, or else were are destined to be the sport of the gods and the pawn of fate." NOTES OF INDUSTRY FROM PHILADELPHIA (Special to The New York Am) PHILAEMBLIA, Pa.—The Negro migration from the South increased more rapidly than the figures for the first part of Marvel indicate that the rate is still growing, with prospects of a big jump as soon as the weather gets warm. The scarcity of dwellings in this city, which has been causing Negroes all sorts of worry for several months past, is having one unique result. The demand for houses has forced hundreds of prospective rent-payers to purchase properties rather than rent them. They may be forced to work with the annoyance of repeated moves. James M. McCudden, chief of the Division of Housing and Sanitation, says that "he is constantly finding out that the Negro servant is beginning to seek employment in the factory, and this will mean that, in addition to finding homes for the Southern immigrants, we will be faced with a serious congestion and strain." The striking sugar man pursued 150 Negroes who are strikebreakers in Spreeckles' Sugar Refinery, down the street as they were going to dinner on Monday. Several of the Negroes drew revolvers and began to shoot at their pursurers. During the fusilade several of the windows of business houses and dofflings were shattered. A riot call was sent in and when the police arrived they arrested eleven of the Negroes. MOVEMENT NORTH HAS BETTERED CONDITIONS (SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMIC) SPRINGFIELD, Mass.-Village A. Battalion president of Olive Oil College, interviewed to the Republican, after a successful series of conferences in Springfield about his work. "The egress of Negroes from the South has made the condition of those who remain much better," said Mr. Battle. "The southern people are now doing everything they can to keep them off offering better schools and promising to put in officers, who will prevent lynchings and to remedy living conditions among the poor. There is only one thing they are not offering. It would largely solve the entire Negro problem. I mean the franchise. The danger has been pointless. The Negroes would dominate Tennessee, for instance, if they were allowed to vote. Numerically, yes. Actually, no. For the Negroes, like the white men, are never capable of voting as a race. They will naturally follow the best leaders in the State. Of course, of these the white men, cannot dey that the whites have had better opportunity for training than the blacks. They will therefore naturally control affairs." LABOR OUTLOOK IN WEST. MASSACHUSETTS (Special to The New York Amz) SPRINGFIELD, Mass.-According to the Republican of this city, Negro help will preempt forged by the farmers of Western Massachusetts this season. On the other hand, the tobacco plantations hereabouts and probably some large fruit farms will employ hundreds of Negroes. The farmers and dairymen hesitate to bring Negroes North to live on the farms. They are somewhat afraid of the color question and fear that the influx might bring a depreciation of real estate. It also appears likely that labor will not be so scarce in this region as was at first expected. All this means that the Hampden county improvement league is likely to be hastened by a help of securing intelligent Negro help for Western Massachusetts farmers, although it is very possible that its offer will be accepted by some tobacco growers in this region. LABORERS LEAVE NEW NEW ORLANS, La—Three hundred Negro laborers left here Tuesday on the Southern Pacific street for New York and five hundred more left here Saturday, 24th, on another of the same company's steamships bound also for New York, it is said, to work for the company.

Friday afternoon at 3:30 a train load of Negro laborers left for Chicago and points in Illinois and Indiana. Thousands have already left by way of New Orleans for the north and west and east, the number reaching 10,000. The number untrue to say they are missed where Negroes are usually to be seen in this city in large numbers any day, notably in South Rampart street untwent and North Claimorne street downtown.
