Some twenty thousand persons are
attracted usually to Hampton insti-
tute, the pioneer industrial and agri-
cultural training school for negro and
Indian youth, founded in 1868 by Gen.
Samuel G. Armstrong at Hampton,
Va. These visitors from all parts OF
the world, are attracted by the
unique and effective educational meth
DDS which Hampton institute has been
successfully employing for over forty
five years in training negroes and In
dams for unselfsh and efficient serv-
Ice in the home, on the farm, in the
shop, and in the kitchen.
Hampton institute is an industrial
village with some 1900 or 1900 stu
dents, 200 teachers and workers, 140
buildings, and an instruction farm
of some 600 acres. Whatever work
the Hampton school needs to have
done, the students are usually pre-
pared to do. Farming, home-making,
teaching and the common industries
form vital parts in the training of
Hampton institute boys and girls.
Blacksmithing, b~rick-laying and plas-
tering, carpentry and cabinetmaking,
machine work, painting, printing. shoe
making, steamhtting and plumbing,
tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering
and wheelwrighting, are the trades
which are offered by the Hampton
Institute Trade school.
In the busy shops, on the scaffold-
ings OF new structures, in odd hooks
and corners of the Hampton grounds,
negro and Indian carpenters have for
many years been daily mastering the
building art and have been preparing
themselves for life's emergencies by
learning how to make the best posi-
BILE use of their resources-time,
tools. skill and moral qualities.
Today the construction Of the
Hampton institute buildings and the
necessary repairs are being satisfac-
torily done by student tradesmen.
When 1t was necessary to remodel the
principals home, one of the oldest
buildings on the Hampton campus,
negro and Indian tradesmen did the
necessary tearing down and building
up. These operations were no easy
tasks. The bulk of the work had to
be done In hot and trying weather.
The boys labored with a will. They
were happy to have an opportunity
of doing well what professional build
ers considered a difficult piece of
work.

In these days Of great achieve
ments 1t is possible to reach heights
before unknown by short cuts. The
Japanese have assimilated western
civilization in about a half century
from the time, in 1853, when Commo-
lore Perry OF the United States navy
first entered the harbor of Tokyo, the
capital Of Japan, and forced the Jap
anese to give up their policy of isola-
tion and nonintercourse with foreign
nations. There is no question that
the colored. people have assimilated
American civilization In 300 years Of
contact and are today the equals Of
the other varieties which make up
cosmopolitan America.
The difference between the literaey
of the white and colored peoples is
not so great as the census would seem
to indicate. The dense mass Of ignor-
ance is in the South, and the differ
ence between the literacy of the
southern colored man and the south
ern white man is very small. In Chi
cago. owing to the large foreign popu-
lation and the fact that all native
citizens have had equal advantages,
there is probably less ~illiteracy among
the colored people than among the
whites.

Scottswlle, KY, May 80. "A drill
crew Of the Martindale Oil Company
operating on the Barlow farm a
short distance west Of Getty limits,
has struck a strong flow Of gas at a
depth of only one-hundred feet The
source Of supply is not a pocket, /"
as has apparently been the case with
previous strikes of the kind in this
territory, but experts say it comes
from gas sand, such as has not
been heretofore found in this district.
When the drill had penetrated about
four feet in the sand. the rush of gas
became SO strong, the work had to
be abandoned. The well, which is on
the bank of Bays Fork Creek, was
nearly filled with water when
the sand swas reached and the
pressure of the gas kept the water
spouting like a geyser, three feet
above the mouth of the well. Gas
that escaped through assures in the
earth found its way up through the
gravelly bed of the creek, so that
the wateEboiled and dubbed in fifty
places from the outflowing gas.
Crowds of people are fiocking to
view the spectacle.
Casing was put in the we'll to shut
off the water and gas, and an effort !
made to continue the drilling, but a |
few blows of the bit brought another
rush of gas so powerful that the at
tempt was given up. 1t is believed |
this well will be adequate to supply
Scottsville with gas for all purposes,
the driller estimating the flow at
100000 feet daily.
The Allen Oil Company, operat-
ing two miles further south, are
using gas from their wells to ope-
rate large pumping engine. They
have three oil wells under pump
and another so barrel we'll that
came in Tuesday, giving them to-:
tai output of 200 barrels daily at
this point. Each of the wells also
produces considerable gas. |
p The Petroleum Oil Company, of
which Mr.. Neel Glenn, of Spring
field, Tenn, is President, also drilled
in a 50-barrel well this week near
Petroleum. This company has 1900
acres leased in that section and is
pushing the work of development.
There are at present eight wells
being drilled in Allen County. One
was commenced Wednesday a mile
east of Scottsville in locality not
previously tested.
