WHAT WOULD HAPPEN lTn

SUPPOSE the colored people OF
this community were to decide TO fol-
low out the advice given them by their
leader on last Sunday;
| WONDER WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN!
What is termed the Row would be-
come New London Avenue. it is the
most beautlit,l building locality in
town. Those little houses or dens
would become white washed cottages,
having around them trim, neat fences
and plots OF grass. Instead OF back
yards with their trash and filth, breed
ing pens of disease-thcre would be
neat and tidy ones, Hourishing little
gardens which would add to the health,
waeith and upbuilding OF the whole
colony; the trumpery and 1imsy trash
in the house would be burned and
there would be clean place to live.
The school building would come i'll
for generous share in such cam
paign of advancement The building
would be painted; the grounds clean
ed up. Soon people would remark
about the beauty OF the school lawn.
1t would not be long before the
churches would follow suit. The
spirit would become contagious.
What ii a prize were awarded to the
property owner whose place was the
neatest; the one who had the best
garden:
The houses in that section are small
and too close together, yet the street
could be made into one which would be
credit to the town; the work
could be done without anyone losing
a day.
II the advice mentioned were fol-
lowed would not committees be APP
pointed to look after these separate
lines! y saving committee would be
started, arrangements for help having
been made with one OF the local banks
committee to look after order would
be formed. The best OF you are judg-
ed by the white people, as was sug-
gestcd Sunday, by the ones hauled up
before the squire.
" hatever your views on the liquor
question, would you allow a speak
easy up there or a gambling den?
Wouldn't it be fine thing il a citi-
zen could take visitor to any part OF
the town with no other feeling but
pride?
At present the colored people them
selves are ashamed OF ,heir section.
They did not want Booker Washing
ton to go up there Sunday. WHAT
WOULD He HAVE SAID?
Yet it is within their power to make
conditions better; possibly without the
expenditure OF money
Would it not be the kind OF support
the great man needs in his work for
the bettermcnt OF his race. il on the
next anniversary of the signing OF
that great document which breaches an
equal chance for all, he should receive
a letter telling OF the changed state
OF affairs in the town of Newark, Del.

class in the Syracuse horse show last
year." said Mr.. Campbell last night.
''Davie made an affidavit that the auto
mobile was his own property and that
there was no mortgage against it.
I'VE have the affidavit now. We agreed
to allow him to show Florham Lady in
the garden and hold the automobile as
security.
"Florham Lady was entered by Davie
as the AYRSHIRE Farm entry. He also
sent to Boston for a Mr.. Mason, for
Henry Coulter. we'll known whip, and
his four horses, a coach and harness. He
entered all of these from the Ayresdale
Farm

Coulter drove and Davie rode behind him.
The 'Ayresdale Farm coach beat Mr..
Vanderbilt's entry and was a close second
to Paul A. Sorg's which won.''
Thompson said that Davie entertained
Coulter and Mason in the Aston. During
his stay in the hotel he offered the man.
agement a check on an out-of-town bank.
and when 1t came back unhonored the
Aston management seized his luggage.
Thompson added that Coulter and Mason
were obliged to pay their own bills.
But the tangle did not end there.
Just after Davie disappeared from the
hotel, leaving his bill unpaid he said,
IAN attachment was placed on Coulter's
horses, Davie having given a chattel
mortgage on them"
The automobile end of the story was
told by B. D. Coyne, a lawyer, OF -

Late in October said Mr.. Coyne,
.Davie obtained an automobile from
George w. Jones, representative of the
firm of George r. Bascon. an automobile
dealer of Boston. Davie paid about one
third of the purchase price and went
away. The firm held mortgage on the
machine, and when Davie did not pay
the balance search was made for him. 1t
