spend the rest of the year talking
about cleanliness being next to god

OF housekeepers who can devote
enough OF their own time or OF some
body ese's time to keeping their
homes in spick and span order all the

Segregation Ordinance Intro

Adopted To-Day.
Especial to The mes.plspatch. ]


Ashland. Va, September ll.-At a
meeting OF the City Council OF Ash
land. held tonight, a segregation or
dinance was introduced. and it is eN-
,pected that it will be formally adopt
ed at special meeting to be held to-
morrow afternoon.
The ordinance. with notifications 20.
mest local conditions, is based on the
Richmond ordinance. and in general
terms 1t follows along the lines of
that measure.
It is believed that the prime cause
for the introduction of the ordinance
at this time, is the report recently IN
circulation that the Laurens homestead.
desirable location In the centre of
the town and near the campus of the
Randolph Macon College, was to be
purchased and converted into a branch
of the Tuskegee Institute for negroes.
On the Laurens ground at the present
time there is small two-story frame
building. ana the entire property Is
valued at about $4,000. II is not con-
sidered at all probable that any at
tempt Is 10 be made to establish any
such institution here, but the Council
decided TO take prompt action in case
there was anything to tile rumor. ana
the ordinance will successfully BLOCK
such scheme.
