dropped to her chubby knees and clasped
her hands fully expecting the prompting
that she usually got at home.
But there was no prompting from the
hostess and long was the silence Finally
Bessie realiged that it was up to her.
a. Please, Lord she softly said, you
will have to scuse me tonight. can't re-
member my prayers and I'm staying with
a lady that don't know any,"

ty-six citizens of the Third ward, head
ed by Benjamin A. Jones, called on
Governor J.. +. Hall Saturday to pro.
test against the location of Southern
University on the Schaffer place, near

cause the value Of their property to
depreciate

were under a misrepresentation as to
the nature of the educational work
the institution would give. The work
would be strictly along agricultural
and mechanical lines. The governors
talk did not diminish the opposition
and the citizens left dissatisfied Fur
ther action will probably be taken to
influence the board of administrators
of the institution to revoke its decis-
ion to locate the school in the Third
