CITY ELECTION WILL
OCCUR NEXT TUESDAY
LITTLE INTEREST BEING TAKEN
BY CANDIDATES.
Only About Half OF Registered Vote
win Be Cast in the Coming
Contest

The special city election which will
be held In Gainesville on next Tues.
day is creating less excitement than
any city election ever before held
here, probably for the reason that II
Is only to fiji the Office Of marshal
made vacant by the resignation Of
Marshal Arrow.
Heretofore for number OF years
the darkies have exercised great
power in the election Of city oficera,
but even this class of voters have
varied from their rules and are TAX
ing practically no interest In the com
ing contest, and the few votes that
are cast on next Tuesday viii be vol
untary on the part OF all, for even the
candidates are not making any great
effort in soliciting the support OF the
people outside Of their announce
ment.
There will be something like $50
or 400 votes cast at the coming city
election, about cne-half Of the quail
ned voters, and Judging from the ap-
pearance at present, the race will be
close between the candidates. Messrs.
Dell and Owens.
When the candidates FIRST announc-
ed both we're very active. but for the
past two weeks they Lave allowed
the matter to die out and are taking
little interest in the campaign them
selves, believing that everyone who
intends voting have their minds made
up for their choice.

Metropolitan Women's Business Club at
New York viii Erect Hall For Busi.
ness Purposes Miss feton a
Fine Business Woman.

The Metropolitan Women's Business
Club of Greater New York is making
rapid strides along business lines. Its
membership is made up of some of the
brainiest and most progressive Afro
American women Of the race in New
York city and vicinity. The need of a
suitable hall for entertainments, meet
ings and public gatherings for social
and business purposes has been dis
cussed by secret and benevolent socie-
ties for many years, but no definite
action has ever been taken by these
organizations to supply the need. 1t is
the object of the Metropolitan Wo-
mems Business club to interest a suf-
ficient number Of women in such a
project to raise $4,000 as nucleus Of
a fund with which to build hall in
central location thoroughly equipped
with all modern improvements as a
monument to the thrift and industry
of colored women.
1t has been pointed out that, where
as the colored people pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually to white
landlords, If they had hall of their
own this vast sum Of money would be
circulated among their own people and
would greatly benefit the race by Civ
ing employment to deserving young
men and women in various ways. The
club has been emfnently successful in
its work, and quite large sum of
money has been subscribed and paid
into the treasury for the purpose al
ready stated. 1t is well known fact
that II the various secret and benevo-
lent organizations Of Greater New
York would withdraw third Of their
money now on deposit in the banking
