G0L0RED MEN
Hold a Large and Enthusiastic
Meeting and Pass a Strong
Resolution.

A large and most enthusiastic
meeting of representative colored
voters of the city was held in the
Mt. Zion Baptist church on Water
basement of the Mt. Zion Baptist
church on Water street Friday night
The meeting adopted a resolution
condemning the course of the Expon-
emit toward the colored people of the
city, expressed qualification over the
free garbage plank of the Republican
platform and strongly endorsed the
Republican ticket. The meeting was
presided over by J.. H. Nelson chair
man, and Earl Walker acted as sec
rotary. The resolution reads as fol-
lows:
We. the colored voters of the city
of Clarksburg, in convention, this the
third day of April, 1914, hereby ex-
press our concerted disapproval Of
the ridicule attempted to be heaped
upon us as citizens OF Clarksburg by
the Clarksburg Exponent and its Ell
forts to besmirch US and our race.
We especially condemn and resent

time, the change in the system was
made, and we feel tnaI we should
not be held to account for treatment
given those outside the city.
The platform pledge of t.-e Repub-
lean party for free garbage hauling,
we feel, will greatly benefit us and
we hereby most heartily approve and
endorse that plank. Were there no

SUGGEST CITY
Charities Chief
Council Considers the Advis-
ability Of Employing Such
an Official
MAY BE SOME
OPPOSITION

Members OF the City Council while
in committee meeting at city hall
last night, discussed several import
ant matters IN a formal way One
subject discussed was the advisable
ity Of having a commissioner of char
tiles. Il was brought out that "A city
the size OF Wilmington should have
such am official The concensus of
opinion OF those present was that
a commissioner of charities was
needed. and that such an officer should
have full and complete control OF
all moneys which may be approprint-
ed for charity work and that such Of
fcer could cooperate with other
charitable boards and the trustees Of
the poor Naturally Il is expected
that If such an officer were appointed
he would carefully discriminate In
the matter Of giving coal and other
things 20 the needy.
Referring TO questions of salary
for the proposed officer, Il was sug
gested that the city pay one-half and
the county pay the other half of
whatever sum Is 10 be paid.
If the subject Is brought up at
the meeting Of City Council tonight
it my be opposed, as there Is a plan
ON foot by the Associated Charities
TO ask from the city an appropriation
annually for their work.
