EXCHANGE FOR
BLIND IS OPEN
MIR. Van Trump Says There is
No Thought Of Closing For
Lack Of Patronage

c. r. Van Trump, chairman of the
committee in charge of the Industrial
Exchange for the Blind. No. sos West
Eighth street. in a letter TO THE
EVENING JOURNAL today, denies a
report that the Exchange was about
to close because of Mack OF support.
Mr.. Van Trump says it is true the
Exchange could be buster, but the COM
mittee has no thought of closing its
doors
Mr.. Van Trumps letter follows.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
lt gives me pleasure to deny the
rumor to which you have kindly called
our attention, to the effect that the
Industrial Exchange for the Blind is
to shut down from lack of work. It
is true that we have surprising
lack of orders but we have hopes that
this good work will pick up in the
near future. In our room we have
two young men, excellent weavers,
turning out artistic and well-made
rugs of all designs and sizes up to
whole floor rugs twelve feet wide. be-
sides a fine grade Of old fashioned
carpet In this department we are
finishing our last order, and will soon
get our stock full We believe if
this work was generally understood.
this shop would be full Of work
Our it'll broom shop is making the
finest grade of brooms that can be
made from the best Illinois corn and
the blind broom makers are putting
it up in fine shape. We are supply
ing many Of the large industrial es-
adjustments of the city with all their
brooms but have not our share of the
household trade Our chair Gamers
are also eagerly grasping all the work
that comes in and are able to do
much more
Nevertheless we are by no means
out of employment Our sales last
month exceeded three hundred dol
lars. and our pay roll last week was
thirty-hve dollars to blind workers
on piece work This is welcome
money to most deserving and ambl-
tious people struggling under heavy
handicap.
Arrangements are now being made
by the Wilmington Trust Company,
I trustees for the Commission. TO take
over the property now occupied by
the exchange and the adjoining pro-
/ porty, though half Of the purchase
/ price must remain on the property
/ for the present until the subscrip-
( tions to the building fund for the
workshop for the blind are sufficient
to liquidate this Indebtedness But
| the movement will give as much
! increased facility and we hope soon
TO put this industry on a firm and
permanent basis.
Respectfully.

CRAWFORD ACCOMPLISHED
some SUCCESSFUL FARMING
Good Results Show Work
Has Been Done

John Crawford one of the most sue
cessful colored farmers in South
Georgia, was in Americas yesterday
superintendening the sale of the re-
naming portion of his cotton crop
of nearly 200 bales made last year,
although like many others Craw-
ford is still picking the staple re
naming in his fields.
Besides a fine cotton crop he made
an abundance of corn and has one
barn holding nearly 800 bushels from
which he has not yet used an ear. With
two plows, on one farm, he made more
than 900 bushels of corn, besides cot
ton, oats and other crops.
Crawford farms largely on the ten
ant ssytem, although he gives personal
supervision to all portions of his
large farm, upon which he operated
eighteen plows the past year.

and has awakened strong political op-
position to Slaton. 1t is claimed that
this phase of the situation has been
put up pretty strongly to Slaton, and
, that there is no positiveness that he
will enter the field
This feeling gives foundation for
the sentiment of rumor that Brant-
ley's real purpose in withdrawing
from the congressional arena is to
make the gubernatorial fight, with his
eye on a seat in the United States
senate later. Those who know the
Brunswick Congressman best, who
are aware of the long years of study
he has given to national questions,
and to the keen delight he has in poll
itics, are convinced that nothing could
be more foreign to the truth than the
theory that he will settle down to the
routine of lawyer in small Georgia
city while he is yet hardly in the prime
of life. Those who are informed in
politics insist the struggle for the
governorship is more apt to be be-
tween Hudson and Brantley than be-
tween Hudson and Slaton.
