With such company, representing
so many professions and drawn from

not surprising that the viewpoints were

lead me TO believe that the greatest
problem confronting you gentlemen to-
day is that Of obtaining an adequate
supply of labor for your mills. I un-
derstand that few OF the New England
operatives care to come South. Why is
that? The climate is better. the ex-
pense of living is less, and believe
your operatives are better housed
Why, therefore, can you not draw la
Dor from the Northern mills?"

labor will come in competition with

The negro is not and never will be
employed in Southern mills, at least,
not for years to come. No question OF
race prejudice is involved. The ne
gro is not to be depended upon for
steady work. In the open field and
under the unrelaxed vigilance of an
overseer he will work hard. But place
him in a mill and the constant monot-
onous hum of machinery exercises an
overpowering soporific influence and
nothing can prevent his falling asleep"
The Negroes Education.
II have been for ten years on the
School Board of Columbus" said Mr.
Gordon, where we have $500 pupils,
of which half are colored. / quickly
saw the futility of attempting to edu-
cate the negro children along literary
lines. We have adopted industrial
training as it is employed at Tuske-
gee. We are teaching the girls sewing
and cooking, and the boys the use of
their hands, and are trying in a general
way TO instill into the minds of the
colored children the dignity Of labor.
While Columbus was the first city in
the South TO introduce that training.
Il Is spreading all over the South. and
pubic school education here Is being
developed along that line"
There Is absolutely no prejudice In
the south against the negro who
works." added Mr.. Galloway

MAY ESTABLISH NEW PARK
Breathing Spot For Residents Beyond
Third Street Bridge.

The Board Of Park Commissioners are
considering the advisability of estab-
fishing a park along the Christiana
river for the convenience Of people liv-
ing beyond Third street bridge. That
park is needed in that section is a
well-knOwn fact and efforts to bring
about this improvement will be made.
The site that from general opinion
appears to be the most suitable for the
proposed park is the plot Of ground be-
tween Third and Fourth streets and
Bridge street and the Christiana river.
The old p, B. & w. car shops formerly
stood there, but since their removal TO
Todd's Cut the ground has been useless
and it is believed that the railroad
company would readily rent it for such
a purpose.
The matter will probably be brought
up before the Park Board at its next
meeting and some action taken.
