Voice Of the People
From Booker Washington.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Shiny attention has been called
to what seems to be considerable ex-
element aroused in Ashland, Va, be-
cause OF the fact that 1T is reported
that 1 am planning to place a colored
school within the corporate limits of
the Ashland community
i also see by a newspaper clipping
that lne City Council has met and
passed resolutions with the object of
preventing such a school from being
located within the corporate limits.
Taking for granted that the news
paper reports are true, 1t is past my
understanding how people can become
excited over the reports without stop
ping to take the time to inquire as to
whether or not such reports are based
upon any facts. Many OF the lynch
inSs in the United States occur be-
cause a rumor begins to fly through
the community, and 1t is passed from
one lip to the other without any one
taking the time to find out upon what
facts the rumor is based.
In regard to the report that 1 am
to establish a negro school in Ash
land. / would state that have never
discussed such a matter with any hu-
man being. black or white. have
never heard OF ANY proposition to es-
tablish a school in Ashland until I
received telegram from Major Motion,
of Hampton Institute, asking IL there
was any truth In the rumor. I will
state, further, that all Of my time and
strength ia occupied in carrying on the
work of the Tuskegee Institute, and I
have neither time. strength nor money
to use in becoming responsible for the
establishment of another institution.

A SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FACTOR

SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FACTOR
1t is estimated that the production
OF automobiles in 1912 will be not less
than 10000. aside from motor trucks.
The biggest year of the industry up
to this time was $4,000 cars at an
average retail price OF 1883.
The average price for 1912 promises
to be about s1.1oO, which indicates a
great increase in the number OF cars
selling at $1,000 or less. with n sub
stantial increase in the higher priced
motors.
These figures only partly show the
tremendous grasp which this method
OF transportation has gained in this
country The foreign makes of ma
chimes must be added to the domestic
ones to show this fully.
Clearly, the motor car must be
looked upon as most potential factor
in the industrial and social life of the
present and future.
The Memphis News Scimitar, always
profound and sane. says:
Great steps in social evolution have
resulted from smaller causes. What
began as an expensive toy OF the rich
is rapidly becoming a popular neces-
s!ty Constant attention to the de-
velopment of low-priced motors is
steadily widening the field OF useful
ness"
