sCARECRoW,
And a Menace is the Southern Negro
at Present, Said MIR. Griggs.

Washington. April 1T.-Iu an ar
gument favoring the disfranchise-
ment< Of the southern Negro, Mr..
Grtggs, Of Georgia, in the house to-
day declared that such disfranchise-
ment was necessary to insure white
control and the peace and prosperi-
ty Of the south. In consequence Of
such action, -. he said, the, Negro
would be no less a factor than he is
now. a
SAT present" Mr.. Griggs said, che
not factor in determining political
issues" .-s
,The rights of the Negro Of the
south, he maintained. were guaranS
teed only through white Judges and
white jurors, and those rights would
not be changed by Acknowledgement
Mr.. Griggs took issue with those
who claimed that manual training
and technical education Of the Negro
the race question. ~
That in Itself, he said, was dec
laration Of the Negroes inferiority.
. For Gods sake he exclaimed,
''let US not depend upon technical ed
ncation Of the Negro to solve this
problem" $780,, t..'
1t would, he said, either drive the
great majority OF southern white men
into other states or create the most
terrible race war in the history Of
the world. He did not believe south
ern white men would be driven from
their homes.
"1f;;'' he said, "they should refuse
to live in land under conditions 80
deplorable and, like their fathers, go
out and build homes in the wilder
ness, we would have left to us land
made up Of two classes of people
a professional class of whites and a
laboring class OF blacks"
The absurdity of such a condition,
he declared, was apparent. In the
opinion Of Mr.. Grtggs there was no
danger Of the !amalgamation of the
whites and blacks. There must be
perfect submission from the one, he
said, and complete control by the
other. This would result in the Me-
groes gradually becoming educated
and their removal to other states
where they could have greater privi-
leges. ri

Says the Wheeling Intelligencer:
Again the possible candidacy Of
Hon. Elliott Northcott looms above
the horizon. Mr.. Northcott would
have saved the republican party in
West Virginia q great deal OF trouble
and uncertainty had he needed the
almost unanimous call for his eandi-
dacy, which went up several months
ago. Whether or not, he can now en-
ter the race with satisfactory results
remains to be seen"

the County Supervisors to represent Imperial County at the Albuquerque meeting, were also made delegates of the County Chamber of Commerce. and J. B. Loftus was added to the delegation as a chamber representa- tive.
 By resolution, these delegates were instructed to use their best efforts to secure an early meeting of the Nation al Irrigation Congress in Imperial Val ley. It is probable that an invitation will be extended to hold next years meeting here, but there is little ex- pectation that the gathering can be secured until 1910
 The County Chamber discussed a plan for carrying on general adver- Using campaign during the fall and winter which is to include display of products in the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce, daily lectures there with illustration by lantern slides, and the conducting of excursions at least twice a month to the valley.
 The secretary was authorized to close lease for bill board space at Imperial Junction, where advertise ments of the valley will be placed to JuC eyes Ol JIl6 OV VGIlduu JIdNSl- CTS on the Southern Pacific.
 An important matter taken up at the Brawley meeting was that of discus sing the prospects of obtaining fresh mountain barley seed for Imperial Valley planting. For several years ranchers of the valley have been re- seeding with barley grown in this hot climate, and the result has been that the seed has run out, the crop be- coming lighter each season.
 It is now proposed to ask the South ern Pacific Railroad Company to bring in without charges for freight several carloads of mountain barley, to be ju- diciously distributed to various sec tions of the valley, for the purpose of increasing the barely yield. w. P. Mansfield was appointed committee of one to take up the subject with the railroad company.
 A change in the constitution of the chamber was effected, whereby non residents may become members upon the payment of $10 per year. They have the privilege of attending all meetings, but have no vote in these sessions.
 Secretary Herman Charles rendered his resignation and this was accepted. Philo Jones of Brawley was appointed secretary and the vacancy is to be filled by the chambers exec utive committee.

CITY DADS HAVE SESSION
Adopt Ordinance of Intention to Gall Sewer Bond Election and Discuss
 Other Proposed Improvements.

The City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, and took an important step in advancing the progress of El Centro, by adopting an ordinance of intention to call an cleo tion for sewer bonds.
 It is proposed to submit to the voters of the city a proposition to issue $40000 for the installation of a septic sewerage system on plans pre- pared by Olmstead & Gillelen of Los Angeles.
 The City Attorney asked for further time in which to prepare ordinances of intention to plant trees on all res idence streets, and to pave Main street, from the Southern Pacific Rail road to the Date Canal, and reported that he expected to have these ordin- ances ready to present at the next regular meeting.
 The City Clerk was instructed to draw warrants for the regular monthly salaries of all city officers.
 An ordinance was adopted amend ing the time and place of meeting of the Trustees, so that hereafter regular sessions will be at 7:30 o'clock p. m on the second and fourth Tuesdays
 
 of the large amount of city business which will have to be done in con nection with the big improvement pro jects to be carried through during the next few months, and the feeling that legislation should be adopted at regu- lar instead of special meetings.
 The report of Deputy City Marshal Ellis was received, The Marshal was instructed to notify property owners that they must clean up rubbish on their premises within forty-eight hours after receiving such notice. and he was instructed to give more attention to sanitary inspection of the city.
 F. w. Cresswell superintendent of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, of Los Angeles, was present and ad- dressed the Trustees on the proposed paving of Main street
 He submitted samples of paving ma terial which he represents as the most satisfactory yet used by this company, and declared that this material was laid in San Diego's streets when the thermometer ranged from TOT to 102 degrees, and that the street was used the day after the material was laid, with no injury to the highway. This sort of paving can be laid in El Cen tro's streets at 22A cents per square foot or from $40 to $150 for each twenty-five foot frontage It is guar anteed to stand a temperature of 1885 degrees
