THE COLORED FARME Err.
The COIOred Colleges Investigations
Among LabOrlnE People.

The Georgia State Industrial College,
through its students, Is making investiga-
lions among the colored laboring people
of Chatham county, and other sections OF
the state, in order to ascertain in what
way it's educatinal departments may be OF
the greatest value to them. One of its
students, Cyrus W. Wylley, has been
truck farmers of Chatham county. He
has ascertained that there are about 800
small truck farmers in Chatham, who are
engaged in raising vegetables for market.
Many of these small farmers or garden
ers are doing well. The most prosperous
among them are w. H. Styles and Scar
boro, who are doing exceedingly well in
the business.
1t is the desire of those in charge OF
the college to find out how many truck
growers, who are idle now, could find en-
p.oyment and maintenance on an acre or
so of ground near the vicinity of the city.
There can be no doubt of the fact that
an increased employment of the colored
labor in this county will add to the
wealth. prosperity and peace of the coun-
~. 1t is gratifying, therefore, to dis
cover that so many OF the colored people
are usefully employed.
There are 2,l69 colored property taxpay-
ers in Chatham county, whose property
is valued at S9l4,245.
This seems to President Wright OF the
college. to be a pretty fair showing. il
had been found that there exists between
the co,ored laborers and their white en-
ployers the very best of feeling. The
white people of Chatham county seem, 10
be anxious to have the colored people
make the most of themselves.
