Public school System in Every
State.
Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 1S.-To-day's
sessions of the National Congregational
Council were devoted entirely to the
American Missionary Association and
its interests.
Numerous addresses were delivered,
practically of all which dealt with the
negro problems of the South in some
form or other.
They expressed the need of more
education and more churches, and the
need of schools for industrials and pro-
fessional training. An interesting phase
of the discussion was that presented
by negroes who are engaged in church
and educational work among their peo-
pie.
Many Read and Write.
The annual report of the Executive
Committee for last year contained the
following:
More than half the negroes in the
South can read and write; a talented
tenth are we'll advanced in intelligence
and character and have become indus
trious and useful citizens with homes
of their own.
"A public school system, poor and in
adequate though it be, has been es-
tablished in every state. Three-fifths
of our pupils are still in the primary
and intermediate grades.
Higher Schools Do Well.
I'VE have thirty eight normal and
graded schools among the colored PEG
pie. Ten of them are boarding schools
and nearly all have industrial work

TRAGEDY AT A FESTIVAL.
Negro Dance i'm Walton County
Ended in n Riot.

Covington, Ca, Oct. 1S.-While ca
rousing at a negro festival" on
the Selman plantation, in Walton coun-
ty, several miles north of here, Sun
day morning, a row was raised on
account of a game of cards, resulting
in the killing of a negro, Wyatt Bailey
and the wounding of a number of
others.
When the riot broke out, the negroes
were drinking, gambling and dancing.
The women huddled together in a clos
ct, panic-stricken, and for several
hours pandemonium reigned. When
officers arrived about day the rioters
had fed, leaving the wounded negroes
in the house.
Several conflicting reports Of the af-
fair have been received here; one to
the effect that the negro Bailey, al
though dangerously shot. was still
alive.

from him under a threat not to permit
work TO continue on the Chatsworth
apartment house here unless the money
were paid.
The jury retired late in the after
noon and on account of the length of
time taken for deliberation Weinseimer
and his counsel expected a disagree
ment, or acquittal.
When Weinseimer heard the verdict
he trembled and grasped the railing to
steady himself. When his pedigree
was taken he answered in voice
scarcely audible.
His counsel said that he would at
once appeal the case on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
evidence.

NEGROES REGISTERING
IN WARE.
The Registration the Largest Ever
known in the County,

hnoWn IN the County.
Waycross, Ga, Oct 15.-The negro
voters of Ware county are registering
in greater numbers this year than ever
before. The last registration list con-
tanned only 43 negroes in the entire
county, and this year the number will
probably reach several hundred. The
presidential election has something to
do with the large registration of the
negroes, but it is believed that the
recent contest against the Democratic
nominee for representative by an indie
pendent, is the principal cause Of the
increase.
