Nashville, Tenn, March 23.-The
minutes of the mid-winter session OF
the Executive Committee meeting OF
the National Negro Press Association
were handed to the printers this week.
The corresponding secretary was as
sured today that these minutes would
be ready to mail by April Ist. While
they will not be as voluminous as
those of the Philadelphia session of
the National Association, they will
be just as essential because of some
very important recommendations
made by the committee at the Nash
vile meeting.
President Murphy, Vice President
Jones and the entire elective officers
Of the Association are joining in with
the corresponding secretary to make
the Muskogee meeting, next August,
a record-breaker.
The. Inauguration of Reciprocal
News Service was actually begun un-
der the auspices of the Association
on the 14th, when the first batch of
news and a correct list of qualified
members were sent out by the corre-
spending secretary to all parts of the
United States. ....

RACIAL UPLIFT FACTOR.

Excellent Features Of a School Found
cd by Or. @. W. kinoaid.
Jumonville, Pa. - Three years ago
DR.. G. w. Kincaid conceived the idea
Of founding an agricultural, mechan-
ical and Industrial institution In the
western section of Pennsylvania to
meet the peculiar exigencies caused by
thousands of Afro-Americans coming
to this section yearly in search Of bet
ter wages. Prior to that time, he had
spent much time In racial uplift
through the pulpits Of the A. N. ID.
Zion denomination and had become
one of lions beacon lights and recog-
nized as one of the races most gifted
orators. For years DR.. Kincaid had q
pronounced enthusiasm for promoting
an institution in this part Of tho state
that would become a factor in the de-
velopment Of Afro-American youths.
Being a prominent character in the
races civic, religious and political
movements, DR.. Kincaid commanded
the highest respect and confidence Of
both races, so much so that his plans
for the present institution met the ap-
probation and support Of the better
element Of both races In Pennsylvania,
The Twin City star., 1914-03-27

and today there is in Jumonville an
institution Of real merit, due to his
character, thrift and genius. -.....
Jumonville is one Of the states most
historic spots. General Washington
took charge Of the American forces on
this spot after the death Of Braddock.
General Jumonville was killed and
buried here The school is located
upon 800 acres of land, sixty-eight
miles southeast Of Pittsburgh. and Ii
known as the Dunbar Camp Agricul-
tural, Mechanical and Industrial school.
This excellent plant was formerly
used by the soldiers and sailors or
phan children for forty years. The
plant consists Of fourteen buildings,
with modern improvements, and there
win be found heating plant, electric
light plant, pumping station and reser
voir, with hospital and q department
for training nurses.
Five hundred students can be COM
fortably accommodated at this fine
Institution, which Is high above the
sea level. DR.. Kincaid has laid good
foundation for these departments-ag-
riculture, live stock raising. poultry
farm, .blacksmithing, wheelwrighting
domestic science, dressmaking. MILL
merry and other departments. The
school receives liberal appropriation
from the state, and from present indi-
cations, because Of the scope Of the
work, necessary development Of our
people to meet the conditions, 1t will
be more largely supported by the leg
islatufe.
The school is an ideal spot for
summer institute because of the fresh
air, pure water and other abundant
gifts from natures resources. The fol-
lowing distinguished men are the
trustees Of the school: DR.. G. W. Kin
caid, president; Professor T. Il. Brown.
secretary, Vanderbilt, Pa; A. J. Coch.

RECIPROCAL NEWS SERVICE.

Nashville, Tenn, March 2Ist.-At
the headquarters of the Sunday
School Congress Movement in this
city it was learned that the tap of the
drum and the call of the bugle will be
heard for the first time at the Ninth
Annual Session of the Sunday-School
Congress to be held in Beaumont,
Texas, June Io-I6th. In connection
with the announcement comes the as
surance from the Lone Star State
that Texas alone is preparing the
biggest surprise in the Sunday-School
world in the form of an entire regi-
ment of National A. F. Cadets made
up of Sunday-School boys, completely
uniformed in Khaki to march to the
music of the bugle, fife and drum. To
offset this the local committee at
Beaumont has arranged to put Negro
dolls into the arms of one thousand
Negro girls. These dolls are now be-
ing prepared. A special Sunday
School Congress train will run from
Nashville to Beaumont without
change, declared the Secretary after
the Board meeting last Saturday.
Nashville, Tenn, March 23.-Clos-
ing dates for practically every univer-
sity and college in Nashville have
been agreed upon. Meharry Medical
College heads the list, followed close
ly by Walden University; then Roger
Williams, and State Normal comes in
for her share to divide her sweet June
graduates with Fisk University, which
is the last to close this year. Nash
Williams are looking forward sadly to
the exodus of students, as this year
has been a record-breaker in attend
ance. More than three thousand in
all the departments make up the STU
dent population during the present
school year.
Nashville, Tenn, March 23.-Like a
mighty army. confident of victory, the
one hundred thousand dollar cam
paign committee of the Y. M. c. A. is
at work. Friday and Saturday were
practically. skirmish days, but the
chairman and his campaign commit
tee with the fifteen captains and the
one hundred fifty men expressed con-
fidence that victory will be perched
upon every banner when the last re-
port is made on Tuesday night, March
31st. Suppers are being served to the
entire committee at the Odd Fellows
Auditorium on Fourth avenue, North
while the office on Cedar street is one
busy place through the day. DR..
Mooreland, who is regarded as a sharp
shooter, is watching every movement
of the enemy to see that no attempt
is made to flank the forces while the
boys in the trenches are fighting their
best.

HAS BIG PLANS FOR
PUBLIC AMUSEMENT

The Barbara Worth Amusement
Company is to start building opera
tions today on the site of the Ell Cen
tro fair grounds. The proposition viii
assume big proportions and will in
clude plunge, roller coaster, dancing
pavilion, razzle dazzle building, "The
House That Jack Built" and several
other amusement devices.
The enterprise is in line with the
Imperial Valley needs to give pleas
ure TO its people and attract the
prospective homeseeker. The latest
ideas in the construction of amuse-
ment enterprises will be installed and
everything is to be done to speedily
bring to completion the various build
ings and amusement features.
The dancing pavilion, which is
scheduled to be ready by November
18-in time for the Ell Centre county
fair-will be original and unique in
the building and lighting scheme. A
maze of soft colored lights will twin
kle and glow from the arches and
trusses and will shed radiance upon
The dancers.
The large plunge will be refresh
ing rendezvous for all. The building
will contain 1900 dressing rooms and
the tank will be large enough to ac-
commodate 1000 bathers at a time.
A specially arranged system of filter
ing tie water is to be installed so
that every day the tank can be flood
ed, leaving the plunge always clean
and pure.
The roller coaster will occupy a
conspicuous position on the grounds.
This will be ride that all will en-
JOY and is one of the very pressing
needs Of Ell Centre and the surround
ing country in the way of an amuse-
ment device. The structure will be
second to none in point of excellence
and thrills, and the dips, loops and
curves will be so smooth and vel
vety that re-rides will be the popular
Fidea from the opening day. Every
precaution and care will be main
tanned to make it a "safety first"
ride end when the joy riders are 60
ing down the dips and spinning
| around the curves at sixty miles an
hour they need feel no anxiety as to
any accidents.
The buildings will be set back deep
and IN front of the building line a
beautiful lawn, dotted with flower
beds and shrubbery, will be pleasing
and ,estful picture to the eye.
1t goes without saying that the peo-
pie of Ell Centre and the surrounding
country will hail this new amusement
enterprise with joy and enthusiasm
and that they will make their pleasure
ground the Mecca of many delightful
occasions for fun, mirth and amuse-
ment.
