WORK TO IMPROVE
NEGRO CONDITION
EPISCOPAL BISHOPS DISCUSS
PROBLEM AT MONTGOMERY
SESSIONS OF MISSIONARY DE.
PARTMENT.

Montgomery, November 1O.-(Special) y
In an address before the missionary
council of the Episcopal church, in ses-
sion here, Bishop I. D. Bratton of Mis-
sissippi, advocated negro bishops to serve
the negro churches, though at first there
should be minimized jurisdiction, as the
movement would be experimental for a
time at least. He also said that the
white people had been too ready to look
on the immoral side of the Negroes life,
rather than to know his good, and paid
tribute to the life and work of Booker
4. Washington, head of the Tuskegee in
stitute. 1T is the duty of every man
and church, said the bishop, ITO help
develop the spirit of leadership among the
negroes
In discussing some of the successes Of
the work among the negroes, Bishop
Cheshire Of North Carolina said: above
all things the negro needs to have his
ideas and his ideals raised to higher
standard, and them and not until then,
can we hope to bring to light his noblest
qualities" The speaker thought the work
among the negro had been too much Of
a nature that tends to make him less
efficient and thought it wise thing to
make his life as useful as possible not
only to himself but to society.
The following is the progra mme for the
afternoon and evening:
$3.50 p. m.-Business session for dele
gates only.
p. m.-Conference session.
l. What has the church in this de-
partment done to advance Christianity

cock, D. D., bishop of Kentucky.

four five-minute talks, one by bishop,
one by a clergyman, and two by local
laymen, the idea being to try as result
of the addresses to have the laymen of
Alabama enroll in the laymen's move

HuntsvilIe Does More PAVING.

Huntsville, November 10--(Special )-The
city council last night passed, by unani-
nous vote, the four new paving ordinances
that have been advertised for confirmation
during the last two weeks. The growth of
sentiment favorable to public improve
ments was illustrated by the fact that to
three of the ordinances for paving there
was not a single remonstrance, while
there was but one protest against an i'm
provement ordinance providing for laying
sidewalks on both sides of Clinton street
a distance of half a mile and affecting
more than 100 property owners. A con-
tract for paving Eustis street was award
ed to the Metropolitan Construction COM
