COLORED INDUSTRIAL AND RE-
FORM SCHOOL

Among the first batch of bills which
came from members of the House of
Representatives this morning was one
from Davidson County, introduced by
the entire Davidson delegation, and
which is of great interest.
The measure appropriates $4,000
out of the Treasury Of the State with
which to establish in Davidson Coun-
ty an industrial school and reform
atory for colored children under IS
years of age. The institution is to
be under the control of board of
trustees, of which the Governor shall
be eX-officio member. Any offender
under Is who has been sentenced to
the penitentiary may be transferred
to the reformatory from the state
prison at the expense of the state. In
corrigibles at the school may be
transferred back to the penitentiary,
there to serve out the rest of their
former prison sentence.
An interesting feature is the right
to bind out to responsible and worthy
people inmates of the reformatory for
a period of service. The superintend-
ent of the institution is to get
salary not to exceed $1,000 a year.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1911.
Our Banks.

In this weeks issue will be found
accounts of last years business of the
two banks conducted by Negroes in
this city. Both of them made good
showing, and the officials and stock
holders are to be congratulated for
what has been accomplished The
statements. which are sworn 10 by the
Cashiers of the banks, show that the
Negroes Of Nashville have entrusted
to the officials of these two institu-
tons in one year over a half million
dollars, and the clearance of the two
was over one and quarter millions of
dollars. This is an encouraging sign,
and will go long way toward con-
vincing the Negroes that it is safe to
do business with Negro Institutions.
Our banks have done we'll, but
should have done better, and would
have if all of the Negroes had done
their banking business with one or
the other of these banks. But in
stead of that being true there are
scores Of men of means in this city
who absolutely refuse to nave any
thing to do with these banks. They
sympathize with them all right, and
give their moral support, but do not
seem to realize that a bank is one in
stitution that you cannot run on mo-
rails or sympathy. 1t takes money,
and nothing else, to make bank go.
What is true of the individuals is also
true of the lodges. There are secret
organizations in this city with thou
sands of dollars in their treasures,
but the officials will not trust Negro
bankers to handle it. They do not real
ize their mistake, but we believe they
will, in day not so very remote,
awaken to their error, and when they
do our banks will each do clearance
% over a million dollars year, and
will give employment to scores of
young men and women, and put the
race on sound financial footing.

The fight between these swo coun.
ties developed to be the fercest OF
any for Normal school, and at times
it did look blue for Davidson, but
those two indomitable giants and far

Mayor Howse, took the bull by the
horns and brought victory out of de-
feat, Mr.. Ben Carr must not be over
looked in this matter. for while the
Governor and Mayor stand out con-
spieuously in the fight, Mr. Carr has
worked harder for the location of this
school than any man in the state, and
it was his persistent effort that i'm
PEELED those in authority to act.
Now we have narrowed the sphere
of operation down to this county, but
the bucket of rich milk is yet on a
clod and if care is not taken it will
be kicked over. There will be an
army Of real estate men with land to
sell the state for a site for the school,
Every man will have the very best
site, and will of course, offer the best
inducements, and those whose duty
it will be to select this site will have
to be as wise as serpents," and at
the same time as harmless as. doves"
The school must be located in the
right place. Not too close to the city nor
too far away, but in a locality easy of
access, and on soil with good produc-
tive qualities. We want our Normal
to be the very best in the South.

Court Holds Railroads Cannot Be Re-

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 11.-That rail
roads cannot be required to provide
separate compartments in sleeping
cars for white and Negro passengers
was the decision of the court of ap-
peals to-day in the case of the COM
monwealth of Kentucky against the
Illinois Central railroad. The court
held that inasmuch as the sleeping
cars are not owned and controlled by
the railroads that railroads cannot be
held responsible for the methods of
operating them.

Labor Contract Laws.

The labor contract Jaws of two
southern states received hard jolts
last week In the Alabama case the
Supreme Court held the law to be UNI
constitutional, and in the case OF a
wealthy lumber dealer in Florida the
president refused to exercise clemen-
cy because he feared to do so before
the accused had been committed to
prison would open the way for an ac-
quittal through technicality.
In one of these cases, that of Ala
bama, a Negro was the defendant, and
in the other, the Florida case, the
defendants were Italians who had beer
transported from New York to work
in a large lumber camp, but in both
cases the decisions were rendered on
the ground of man rights.
There is one thing, however, that
Negroes should not lose sight of, which
is two wrongs will not make one
right. The labor contract law of
Alabama was most infamous instru-
ment, but back of it was an evil al
most as infamous, that OF breaking
contracts. Now that the Supreme
Court has come to the rescue of the
unfortunate man, who is not mindful of
the wrong he commits when he fails
to keep his word or to live up to an
agreement, the well-informed Negroes
owe 1t to the uniformed to do all
in their power to teach them the Sc
robustness of an obligation. The CO.
operation of the white men should be
solicited in this work, and let all
strive to have peace and contentment
in this our Southland.
