A Meeting of the COlored People in The
Interest of the Exposition.


Interest of the Exposition.
In the presence of O small audience of
colored people at the True Reformers' Hall
last night the initiatory steps were taken to-
wards the thorough organizing Of Virginia TO
cooperate in the Southern Interstate Immi-
grafton Association. About 7 o'clock Rev.
w. w. Browne called the meeting TO order.
Among the prominent colored men on the
platform were: Rev. VIM. Troy, Professor l..
B. Williams. Rev. Il. ID. Lewis, Rev. A. Cham
berlain, Professor G. W. Hayes and DR.. j. c.
Price and j. +. Hamlin. After prayer by
the Rev. VIM. Troy DR.. Price, the orator Of
the evening, was introduced.
He began his remarks by giving brief out
line of his business in Richmond He ex-
planned that the Southern Exposition TO be
held in Raleigh, N. c., during October and
November was q movement on the part of the
Southern Immigration Bureau TO get the
States of this section awake to the necessity
Of letting the world know of
shefr resources and their industry in
developing those resources Till this was
done no conception even by the Southern
people themselves could be had of this sec
tion. Price then told of the organization of
the Southern Interstate immigration Associa-
ton at Montgomery, Ala. in 1888: what they
had been doing since this organization and what
they expected TO do IN the future. How they
had endeavored TO have an exhibition in BOs-
ton In 1889 and in Asheville On. c. in 1890.
but which endeavors were not successful for
lack of interest. Those failures had done
good, though, and now. having profted by
these disastrous failures, they were assured of
grand and glorious exposition in Raleigh
He told how the Southern whites have ex-
tended an invitation to the coiored race to
join in this exhibition. After explaining these
matters in a clear. concise manner Price de-
hvered an address on the Future of the Ne
gro"
His Grafton lasted about one hour and a
half and was withal good talk After this
address an election Of State officers was held
which resulted in the selection OF g. w. HAYES
for commissioner: Rev. w. M. Browne
treasurer; John Mitchell Jr., secretary
Hayes will at once canvass the State
la the interest of this movement.
A collection was taken and 81 was raised as
nucleus for this fund. DR.. Price, accom-
panied by j. f. Hamlin, supervisor of the
eoiored department of this association, will
leave to-day for Charleston. s. c., where they
VIII begin the organization of that State.
