A delegation of negroes appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Railroads
Tuesday afternoon to urge the passage
of the Bronston Bill requiring railroads
to sell passenger tickets at second-class
rates to negroes. Several speeches were
made. 1t was argued that lower rate
should be charged because the negroes
were compelled to occupy the worst cars
in the trains. A representative of the
Cincinnati Southern railroad was pres
ent. He said that they pl opposed to give
the negroes better cars, agreed to equip
a sample car and bring it to Frankfort
within five days. Action was sus-
pended by the committee until this
could be done. The railroads say that
they can better afford to furnish better
cars rather than to reduce the rates.

TIMELY FARM HINTS,
