HOG CHOLERA
Farmers Interested in the War Being
Made Against the Disease.

Redield, Aug. 13.-Tuesday, We'd
nesday and continuing Thursday
from thirty to forty farmers have as
sembled each afternoon and evening
in the basement of the high school
building to listen to the interesting
and instructive lectures on hog chol-
era by Drs. John Dinwoodie of st.
Paul and G.. G. Lipp of Brookings.
The date of the meeting for this
course of instruction was fixed by the
| state livestock sanitary board and
| while many farmers have expressed
| regret that they can not attend be-
cause they are too busy threshing.
the attendance of thirty or forty at
| such a busy time is encouraging. The
men here feel they are well repaid
for their time and several are com
ing from distances of thirty to forty
five miles. 1t Is indeed to be regret
ted that 200 to 800 farmers are not
present to hear these splendid lee
lures.
1T Is remarkable to see how these
lectures have gradually. but surely
cleared away the clouds and mystery
surrounding hog cholera, its contro
and prevention. 1t resolves itself In.
to Z matter Of good Judgment or goot

Essex county. known us the Oranges.
has a population of 100000. of whom
10000 are colored. These comm unities
are rich in their association of early
colonial and antebellum history. The
Negro was not an inactive or silent
spectator during those stirring times.
He participated in every struggle and
bravely bore his part in the long con-
test for liberty of the American colo
mist. The battles of Springfield and
Orange mountain colony and other Rev
olutionary struggles have indelibly re-
corded his bravery and valor. During
the civil war New Jersey sent more
than a regiment of brave black boys
American war. These undeniable
facts prove the loyalty. devotion and
patriotism of the Negroes of New Jer-
sey in every crisis concerning the safe
ty Of the American flag.
In the civic affairs of the state he
has played well his part. Contesting
against every unfair advantage and
race prescription. he has maintained
himself and gathered the small crumbs
of opportunity together and still contfn-
ues to rise and retain a place among
the struggling and progressive masses
In the Oranges he has Accumulated
nearly 100000 in real estate, non
which he inherited or received in bc
quest, but has acquired by sacrifice
and labor. Negroes own many large
and beautiful church buildings. an Old
Folks home and several fraternal and
business buildings. In the charitable
work they have contributed very large
ly in proportion to their means.
Shortly after the war an old colored
woman gave her earnings of many
years to the work Of the temperance
cause. and the imposing structure at
Main and Commerce streets, Orange.
valued at more than $4,000, stands on
the site bought by the savings Of this
old pioneer woman. who bequeathed
her estate for that work. There re-
mains much yet to be done in this fair
common wealth that these people may
have a fair chance in the battle Of life.
Those that have located in the agricul-
tural districts have done well. Many
own large. productive farms and each
year. by their push and industry, add
to their possessions
The men who organized themselves
into state committee for the purpose
of making the trip OF DR.. Washington
and his party a tremendous success
were imbued with race pride. They
were eager for their guests to see the
achievements Of the race in the state
and for the people OF the state to see
and hear DR.. Washington, who was in
troduced at one of the meetings by a
wealthy and influential white man as
one Of the truly great men Of America.
The leading spirit in organizing the
various cities and towns for the trip
was W. p. Burrell, head Of the social
settlement work for colored children
In East Orange.
