Joseph n. Witcher, the subject Of
this narrative, was born In Pittsylya-
MIA county, va. His boyhood days
were spent onshis fathers farm and In
attending the county public school,
where he received the rudiments Of
his early education. Being Of stu
dious disposition, he read much and
otherwise made good use Of his time.
From his reading he received broad
er view OF life.
This stirred his ambition to greater
activity, and he set out for Hampton
institute, In Virginia, where he studied
the painters trade. On leaving Hamp-
ton Mr.. Witcher decided to try his for
tunes In the north. whittier he went In
1899, to Brooklyn, where he now re-
sides. Finding that without money or
membership In the painters union he
would be at decided disadvantage In
following his trade, he turned his at
tention to the municipal or public serv-
ice via civil service qualifications. True
to his aim. he studied hard before
making application for examination
for police duty, but when he felt that
he was fully prepared he entered the
examination and passed, making
good average.

placed on the eligible list for police APP

TWELVE HUNDRED COLORED EN-
UMERATORs APPOINTED.
Largest Number Of Enumerators and
Clerks in History Of Census Bureau.

Clerks in History Of Census Bureau.
Washington, D. G. April 1910
Twelve hundred colored u. S. census en-
umerators have been appointed and be-
fore April Is, when the actual enumera-
ton will begin, there will be three
hundred more. These appointments
have been made for Alabama, Ark
ansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, and the District Of
Columbia.
In no previous census were there SO
many colored enumerators as will assist
i making the census of 1910. The plan
of appointing coored men to take the
census of their own people in districts
where they constitute two-ffths or
more of the total population has been
very generally followed and many col
ored persons of unusual ability have
been appointed. The number of color
ed enumerators is less than the total of
the enumeration districts that will be
canvassed by them. In many cases one
colored enumeration will take care OF
two districts and, in others three. I'm
de rthis arrangement between 1900 and
24OO districts will have colored enumer-
ators.
The colored people are also well rep
resented on the office force of the Cen
sus Bureau. There are 100 colored
clerks and other employees engaged in
general lines Of work in the Office at
Washington an dthe number is increas-
ing every day. These have been APP
pointed without regard to color and
their work is identically the same as
that of the other clerks an demploy-

GRIFFIN VICTOR
IN DAMAGE SUIT.
II Makes No Difference In Damages
5i Whether Man Is White or
Black, Says Justice Mccall.

Before Justice Mccall in the SUI.
preme court, New York, on Friday,
April 1, George w. Griffin was given a
verdict of $1,000 against Daniel M.
Brady, the "brass king for false Inn
prisonment. When the case was tried
In 1909 before Judge Dugro the jury
awarded Mr.. Griffin a verdict for
$500, but Judge Dugro saw fit to set
aside the verdict as excessive, holding
that Negro could not in law be dam
aged as much as white man under
the same circumstances.
s5 It was different, however, when the
case came before Justice Mccall on an
order from the appellate division for
retrial. Judge Mccall told the jury
that it made no difference in damages
whether man was white or black.
Brady caused Grifin's arrest because
he missed his watch and q large
amount Of money en- route from New
York to Montreal in 1909. At the trial
before magistrates court Griffin was
released. He afterward entered suit
against Brady for $4,000.

examination for the postal service. In
this he also made high average and
was subsequently assigned to duty in
the New York postoffiee, where he is
now holding letter carriers position

postal service is fine field for our
young men; the police force also, for
that matter, but would advise all per-
sons OF my race who desire to elevate
themselves materially to take the civil
service examination, because in posi-
tons so secured one gets the same pay
for the same kind or class OF work as
the other, whether white or black; col
or cuts no figure. Many Of our young
men Of education and good training
are holding good positions in New
York and elsewhere, but they are not
paid the same salary as some young
white men, many OF whom are less
capable and do less work"

THE OXEN

THG OAGN
Shoulder to shoulder all day long
The oxen labor across the field,
The pace is slow, but the plow is strong
And stubble and tussock yield.
The plowman halts as the sun goes
down,
And leaves his pillow near the furrow-
edloam,
Then slowly over the meadow brown
He follows the oxen home.
Side by side in their stanchions there
The oxen stand at the close Of day,
Happy are they and free from care
Eating their evening hay.
They have borne the yoke from sun to
sun,
Sholder to shoulder in true accord,
And now they reap, when the day is
done,
The laborer 8 rest reward.
