Matter Not Definitely Settled

MT. SpdffOW ndu an engagement anu was unable to remain at the meeting un- til the end of the discussion. Several
 members of the association stated thai they could not afford to pay SIS year for 8 proposition of this kind. saying MT Sparrow had offered them no guarantee The only guarantee MT. Sparrow offered
 was that he would see to it that they were mot defrauded out of any money justly due them.
 | Several members testified to MT. Spar rows ability at getting money due his | clients, but the matter was still undecided when the convention adjourned for al automobile tour of the city at 5.30 O clock l under the auspices of the Chamber of | Commerce. Most of the members of the r association had been to Birmingham be- | fore and those who had not, had had Birmingham dinned in their ears unti they were familiar with practically every phase of the city's life. But 1t was an | astonished crowd that viewed the many | beautiful residence sections here and
 many expressions of delight were to be l heard.

Ayers Calms Troubles

I1dfIy ayers opposed the acceptance or MT. Rosson's resignation and paid a high tribute to his work. MT. Ayers poured oil on the troubled waters by proposing that the association create the office of recording secretary, appoint some member to that office and retain MT. Rosson as corresponding secretary. This motion re- ceived unanimous acclaim, and J. H. Hard was elected recording secretary, immedi- ately assuming the position
 One of the interesting features of the session was the injection by Mrs J. H. Gillespie of Cullman editor of the Tribune of that place, of politics. She urged the editors to brush the cobwebs of prejudice from their minds and embrace the cause of equal suffrage.
 No sooner had the subject of her ad- dress become known than several of the more astute of the editors were seen to retire. Finally, however, a vote was put Eleven men held up their hands as favor- able to the cause Eight expressed wig orous opposition. One man. Col G. M. Cruikshank, of the Birmingham Ledger. took a position the fence. He declared by holding up his hand that he had not fully made up his mind in regard to this question.
 Mrs. Gillespie made a fine argument in favor of giving the ballot to wom- en. She presented testimony to prove that because she was without the vote her rival in Cullman, J. R. Rosson. had been successful in securing advertise ment, although her paper had support ed the governor tshe did not specify) who had the disposition of this ad- vertisement and MT. Rossons paper had opposed him.

Division Is Sharp

DAViSAOh lS DudTD
 The division was very sharp, The majority of the members refrained from expressing themselves. Those who did declare against equal suffrage were very vigorous in their action. And fol lowing the luncheon adjournment the members on converting were startled by a writing on the blackboard which expressed the following
 Business before pleasure! Give tn, anti suffragettes a chance"
 Mrs. Gillespie not only made fine argument in behalf of the propaganda which she said was near her heart but she did not fret or fume wher her suggestion did not meet with unan. imous favor. In conclusion she urged the editors to deal fairly with the mat. ter and requested them to publish the news item which the state association would send them.
 The matter of the association se. iecting an advertising man in Birming ham to handle all the foreign business or the Alabama weeklies was of par amount importance and occupied the greater part of the afternoon session rrank Willis Barnett, editor of the Alabama Baptist, proposed that the contract be given to the Sparrow Ad. vertising agency setting forth the per. sonal intergity and ability of the pres. ident Of that company, John Sparrow as his reason for the suggestion. vii. liam H. Judson, editor of the Besse- mer Weekly. put the motion before ths house that MT. Barnett be asked to see MT. Sparrow and make the necessar, arrangements, with the proviso thai the editors of the various papers bs permitted to make terms with Mr. Spar row. MT. Barnett asked that Victor II f1anson be appointed to serve with him and this was done.
 The two immediately left the con. vention hall, got in touch with MT Sparrow by telephone and placed ths proposition before him. MT. Sparrow hurriedly prepared figures upon which he could undertake to handle all the foreign business of the country week lies, came to the Chamber of Commerce and presented them in person.
 His proposition was that rhimimum of 100 papers in the state agree to nav him $1.50 per week for year. fhis money to be used in the preliminary work of getting the proposition on a business basis, and give him full

Trustees Convention.

A convention of the school trustees
of Clarendon county is called Tor
Tuesday October 10Th. at 1880 O'Clock.
We want each and every trustee IN the
county to be on hand TO lend himself
and his influence towards all matters
looking to the improvement OF our
schools.
/ have arranged TO have State Super
intendent of Education J. E. Swear
Eiueen, and Prot. Lueco Gunter, Super
visor of Rural schools present on that
occasion. They will speak on lmpor-
tart subjects which pertain to our
work.
Il is desired that the trustees be
thinking of some things they would
like 10 have discussed, as we'll as to
give their ideas, if they feel so disposed
This is TO be an informal conventlo n
in which any and all subjects which N
any way may be OF helpful nature
can be brought up for discussion.
The most serious situation that has
ever confronted US is becoming more
and more acute and impressive. Under
normal conditions the taxes on which
our schools are dependent will not be
paid as early as usual. The present
crisis will delay their payment much
longer. Should the legislature see ht
to extend the time still further unusual
conditions will have TO be met. Even
should that body not take that step,
still the question ol paramount lmpor-
tance will be TO determine how our
schools are to be financed, and what
course to pursue If they cannot.
I consider the question one OF very
great Importance, and ] shall appre-
ciase it verys much if the trustees may
be giving that some OF their thought
during the next few days so that they
NAV offer some valuable ideas.

AN APPEAL TO AFRo-AMERlcANs

Afro Americans let your voices rise,
Let your echoes rink thru the skies
That by your country you'll do the
right
That for your liberty you will fight,
Afro Americans betray not your trust
Nations blood has been shed for us
Then by your country you should be
true,
For your races success depends on
you.
Afro American upon you the lives
Hang on your sons, your daughters
andwives,
Then by your race you should fall
And abstain the things that injure us
all.
Afro Americans go on until you hear
The voice of God, ringing out so clear
Come unto me, you who the victory
has won,
AS to respect of persons l have none
God we know created all mankind,
And in the midst the blackman you'll
find
Where you're going to shun him no
n can tell,
For he is sure to be found in earth,
heaven and hell.
