Opportunities In The South,

That there are openings in the South
for colored men equipped with an in
dustrial education is very forcibly
demonstrated by the Chattanooga
Plow company. In the employ of that
corporation there are 700 or 800 hands.
and very large percentage are colored
men and boys. The heads OF each de-
psrtment and the employees of the
general offices are invariably white, but
the workmen employed throughout the
works are very largely coIored, not.
withstandlng the fact that it is regard-
ed as Of the better class. In the foun-
dry there are eighty men employed
and in this case they are all Negroes.
Their work is entirely satisfactory and

which cover period OF nearly two
hundred and eighty years, from James
town 10 Manila, there are poems, anec-
dOtes and incidents. 1t Is as large as
