cans Exclusively.

Decatur. A;a., Nov. THE gathering at
Cedar Lake. This county. yesterday. on the
occasion of the opening of the negro colony.
marks an era in the history of the negro
race in the South. This colony is projected
and backed by MIS-. Lillian h. Ray, 4
wealthy English woman. who came South
three years ago and invested about 500. 600
in North Alabama coal and iron lands. She
first conceived the idea of organizing a
negro colony last April. The colony was
formally organized yesterday. a charter ap-
plication filed, and regular city govern
ment elected from the negroes who are
heading the movement.
The land upon which the colony is sitU-
ated comprises 36I acres of some of the
finest soil in the Tennessee valley, upon
which large crops of tobacco and wheat are
grown.
This is not a business speculation by
any means" said Mrs. Ray. 1T is simply
4 plan for solving the race problem. Last
April had a number of wealthy white peo-
pie here from the East. who are interested
with me in the movement. and it was there
first practically decided TO organize a negro
colony. We named 1t Cedar Lake. l have
presented as free gift to the colony lands
for depots, churches and schools ard have
thereon. Further. have donated $4,000 10
the colony upon condition that they build
and inhahit 140 houses. President Smith of
the Louisville & Nashville road has prom
shipping concessions No lands or houses
will be sold or otherwise disposed of save
to negroes.
My plan is to coIonize the most intelli-
gent and progressive negroes in a city of
their own building. encourage and aid them
in building factories and shops of their own
