STREETS TO Be
OPENED UP.
COUNCIL DECIDES IMPORTANT MAT.
TIERS MONDAY NIGHT-MAYOR
REFUSES TO sign NOTES.

At the regular meeting Of the Mayor
and City Council Monday evening some
important matters were attended to
and the matter Of opening up the
streets and paying for the Koontz
property was pushed forward.
Mr.. John J. Reese acted as chairman,
and the minutes, were read and ap-
proved. 1t was decided to put an in
candescent light on Willis street be-
tween Longwell avenue and Centre
street, and also one on Carroll street
at the alley between the Lutheran
Church and Main street.
The matter of oiling Main street was
discussed, and the clerk was instruct
ed to find out from the State Roads
Commission when the State road would
be oiled, and to obtain some data
from it as to the kind of oil which will
be used thereon.
The matter of the extension of
Green street and the opening of the
new cross street, to be called Anchor
street, was then taken up. Deeds
were either given or were said to be
available for the lands Of Reverdy
Snader, DR.. w. R. Mcdaniel, John I'll.
Cunningham, George r. Grumbine
and Howard Koontz. 1t had been
agreed by the Council to settle with
Mr.. Koontz by giving two notes of the
amount of $4,000 due December /. The
Mayor declined to sign the notes CIV
ing as his reasons that the deeds as
well as the proposed ordinance to
open the streets were incomplete, that
Mr.. Snader had not given enough
land and that no alleys beyond Anchor
street had been laid out on the plat
The Council then by resolution offered
and passed, ordered the treasurer to
sign the notes, attested by the clerk.
The ordinance accepting the land was
adopted by the Council before ad-
journing
Mr. w. H. Davis says that if Mr.
Snader refuses to give the land, he
will make the town a present of il
himself, to insure the carrying out OF
the plans.
The amount of money in the city
treasury is about $500.

Professor Scott is convinced, from

the establishment of a properly or

taught, including piano, organ, violin,

ed very poor land, Tuskegee students
raised on the institute farm last year
500 bushels Of sweet potatoes per acre.
These demonstration agents do not
confine themselves to teaching inprov-
ed farming methods, but they also as
sist the colored farmers in getting bet
ter live stock, in having better gar
dens, and in improving their homes. In
a community where one of these agents
are at work, a visit was recently made
TO forty gardens of farmers by a COM
petent committee. The committee
found in these, gardens peas, cabbage,
onions, tomatoes, mustard, pepper,
lettuce and carrots. Besides the gar
dens were in good condition. This
resulted from the teaching of one grad
uate of Tuskegee institute.

SOME RESULTS
Of TRAINING
At TUSKEGEE
BOOKER WAsHINoToN's SCHOOL
DOING GOOD WORK IN TRAIN
ING THE NEGRO TO BE A GOOD
FARMER.

Tuskegee. Jan. 1.-THE question is
often asked as to the extent the former
students and graduates Of Tuskegee
Institutes engage in actual farming
operations.
It should be stated that the teachers
of the institute itself keep constantly
in mind the fact that the south is
largely an agricultural country, and
that at least eighty per cent Of the
colored people depend upon farming
for their living, and furthermore, the
negro race as a whole, is far better off
when cultivating the soil, than Il any
other occupation. For these reasons,
no pains are spared to improve each
year, the training given in farming
and related occupations so as to keep
the student close to the soil and lead
them to love farm life to the extent
that a large proportion Of them will
take up work Immediately In the coun-
try.
As an immediate result Of this
teaching, the school has been able to
produce the best crop on its farm dur
ing the past year in the history Of the
institution. This, within itself, has
done much to deepen the interest OF
the sixteen hundred students In farm
ing.
AS a further illustration Of the re-
suit of this training, in Macon county
alone, in Alabama, in which the Tus-
kegee institute is located, there are
three graduates Of the school, to say
nothing of hundreds OF others engag-
/ ed in farming, who have more than =
/ hundred farms or that number of col

This one case, out of many that might

And, too. 1t is safe to state that at
| least half of the men from Tuskegee
institute, who are c1assed as school
! teachers, engage, to some extent, in
farming while engaged in teaching
/ their pupils.
Teaching Agriculture.
/ Thirty of the graduates and former
/ students OF the institute are teaching
! agriculture in various schools. Some OF
/ these schools are located at Snow Hill,
/ Alabama; Prentiss, Mississippi; Talla-
hassee, Florida; Lawrencevtlle, Vir-
ginia: Denmark, South Carolina: and
at the University Of Porto Rico, Por-
to Rico.
/ Eight of the graduates are working
for the United States department of
agriculture as agricultural demonstra-
ton agents in the states OF Alabama,
louisiana, Mississippi. Oklahoma,
South Carolina and Virginia. The
government experts induce colored
| farmers to set aside small portions of
their land and plant and cultivate it
under their direction. These small
plats serve as object lessons for the
communities. Thus, where farmers
raised from five to fifteen bushels of
corn per acre, they are now, because
/ of this teaching, raising from thirty
to sixty bushels per acre. Where from
$50 to 200 pounds of lint cotton were
produced per acres, now from $50 to
500 pounds per acre. On what is call

Tallahassee, Jan. 1.-THE inaugura-
ton OF Gov. TrammsI1 has passed into
history as one Of the most brilliant
and successful inaugurations the state
has had. Notwithstanding the wealth
er which, to say the least, was unfa-
vorable, there were immense crowds in
the Capital City. People from an over
Florida and from the nearby counties
large crowds came. Hotels and board

capacities and many people failed to
get room.
The reception IN the executive Of

was well attended and from before
o'clock until 10 p. m. q steady stream
OF people greeted the new governor
and those who stood with him in the
receiving line. At 10 o'clock the ball
began, the grand march being led by

resentatfves was crowded to It's utmost
capacity with those taking part IN the
ball and those who were content TO be
onlookers.
It was said by some who have been
present at many inaugurattcns that
never before was there to be seen so
many elegantly dressed ladies. Even
ing gowns that were most exquisite
creations of the modiSte's art were
worn by the ladies who received with
Gov. Trammen and by many others
who were present. Mrs. TrammeI and
the ladies Of Gov. Trammelrs party
were among the most attractive and
handsomely dressed ladies who graeed

Carranza's Demand.

The reported demand of the Mexican
constitutionalists that President Wilson
send only a fully accredited envoy to
conduct negotiations presents a new and
embarrassing aspect to the situation. To
comply would be to grant formal recog-
nition to the insurgents. which. in view of
the lack of recognition of the Huerta ad-
ministration, would be to proclaim the
constitutionalist party as. in the eyes of
the United States. the government of
Mexico. Such a demand was not inti-
mated as possible when the dealings with
the constitutionalists were started. Re-

The Districts Hauling.

The order just issued in the office OF
the Engineer Commissioner prohibiting
the employment for municipal hauling
purposes of teams owned by District en-
ployes or the relatives of employees may
from one point of view be wise pre-
caution against the possibility of a charge
of favoritism and graft. But on the
other hand there would seem to be
little real occasion for this action if the
ordinary safeguards against excessive
charges are observed. 1t is not alleged
as far as the case is understood that
anybody has been getting too much for
the use of a horse and wagon. Clearly
if the order is to stand there should be
some limitation upon the scope of the
prohibited relationship which will pre-
vent anyone who has anything to do
with awarding these jobs from having an
interest direct or indirect in the work,
without imposing inequitable hardships
on others. The case cited in The Star il
lustrates the absurd length to which the
new rule may work, a team-owner whose

Early Shopping and Health.

FROM Inc Philadelphia Inquirer.
No less an authority than DR.. Neff,
the director of health and charities is
the first person this year to sound the
slogan of DO your shopping early"
The shopping to which he refers is, of
course. the holiday and Christmas shop
ping. Heretofore this subject has been
treated largely from the standpoint of
the convenience of the public. Dr. Neff
raises 1t to a higher plane by making
it plea for health and for humanity.
He points out the fact that the Christ
mas shopping season brings long hours
and overwork to the great army OF
salespeople. These evils bring in their
train fatigue and lowered resistance
to disease. AS a consequence of this
many salespeople contract colds. bron-
chitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis and
kindred ailments. The capaign of edu-
cation in favor of early shopping has
been going on for several years now,
and the results have been good. Peo-
pie generally have the desire to be kind
to one another. but as a rule they are
thoughtless. and 1T is this as much as
anything else that makes countless
millions mourn"

There was no Towering of figure but

was giving an epitome of the doctrine of
American free government.
1t is impossible now to read his words
