Complaints to Board of Relief.

The Board of Relief met Monday in the town building and heard com plaints from about dozen who wished their valuation reduced. The assessors were also present. and it was the oc- casion of the second hearing given T. R. Sadd of the T. R. Sadd Go. in his effort to have the increase of ten thousand dollars on his valuation taken off
 A week ago MT. Sadd appeared be- fore the board and in answer to ques- tions by the members said that he would bring his books and figures to show that he was entitled to relief. Sufficient data was not submitted to the board, in their opinion, Monday, and another hearing will be given when the matter will be gone into further
 During Mondays discussion a heat ed argument arose between Mr. Sadd and James P Mustard of the board of assessors a former employe of the Sadd company. It seemed that Mir Sadd held MT. Mustard responsible in some way for his raise. and the words between the two over the matter last ed some time.

ONLY THREE FREIGHT CARS.
Tuesdays Arrivals At Local Station, Instead of Usual One Hundred-CoaI Frozen Solid.

What the railroad has been contend ing with in the way of weather since Friday night was indicated Tuesday, although trains have been off schedule three days. Normally about 100 freight cars a day are received at the local freight station, but lip to Tues day afternoon at four o'clock only three cars had come in. Only perish able freight was being moved and precious little of that. Conditions for moving freight were not at all favor able.
 The tough time that the freighters have been experiencing was indicated by string of three crippled locomo- tives that pulled out of the local yards during Tuesday afternoon, bound for the shops at East Hartford All had been put out of commission in the heavy weather but one of them was able to develop sufficient power to haul the others to the shops. Up at North GrosvenordaIe another big freight locomotive is on a siding. where it was left when it was disabled Monday. This engine must also go to the shops.
 At the coal chute in the local yards
 500 tons of coal for the locomotives that take on a supply as they pass
 through the city is frozen into one
 solid mass. To get out the supply of more Indn 1uU lOHS d Ody 4Ol lAAC 1O-

 points about the station of snow.

A MILLION YEARS.

Recently a leading daily paper said
that the Afro-American had been in
contact with civilization only fifty
years and therefore was not yet ready
for higher education.
Some Afro-Americans are also tell
Ing us that we are child race only
fifty years old and although we have
made remarkable progress we must
not go too fast.
Now comes DR.. Hans Reick of the
Berlin University and reports the find
ing OF fossil human skeleton in Ger
man East Africa which is possibly a
million years old and is held to prove
that highly developed race of men
inhabited the African continent.
The oldest skeleton found in Amer
lea is claimed to be only 100000 years
old and skulls have been found in
Europe which are supposed to be from
100000 to 100000 years old, so brother

ed blood with American, European and
African blood or pure African. and

any dope about the child race Just

WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND
-. SMITH,,

Investigation of the history and hab-
it's of the parasites Of the cotton boil
weevil in a more comprehensive way
than ever is proposed by Secretary
Houston Of the Department of Agri-
culture. He wants more funds appro-
priated with which to employ experts.
Here is an excellent opportunity
for Senators Vardaman and Hoax
Smith and Representatives Hedin of
Alabama and Clark of Florida to en-
ploy their talents. Instead of spend
ing their time in vilifying Afro-Amer-
lean citizens over whose backs they
have illegally climbed into power they
might make speeches in Congress in
favor of an appropriation to eliminate
the boil weevil. This would really aid
the South.
The so-called governments in the
Southern states can not last. They
are founded on injustice, prejudice and
hate. If the Afro-American is worthy
of his civil rights he will contend for
them and no power on earth can stay
his progress.

MALE STENOGRAPHERS AND
TYPEWRiTERS IN DEMAND,

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while it
has no difficulty in securing sufficient
female stenographers and typewriters
to meet the needs Of the departments
at Washington, the supply of male
eligibles has not been equal to the de-
mand. Young men who are at least
18 years of age and who are willing
to accept the usual entrance salaries,
which are $840 and 5000 a year, have
excellent opportunities for appoint
ment. While the entrance salaries
are low, advancement is reasonably
rapid to those meriting it. The ex-
aminations, which any competent
stenographer should be able to pass,
are held each month in the year, ex-
cept December, at the principal cities
of the United States

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.

A number of colored newspapermen
met recently in Nashville, Tenn, and
among other things decided not to
protest against segregation lowing to
the changing attitude of the Southern
whites" :.. .,.~...
The attitude is undoubtedly chang
ing but it is for the worse. There
were more lynchings in 1913 than in
1922 the unjust franchise laws are
still in force; segregation in the gov
eminent service is matter of fact;
ghettos are being established in many
Southern cities; the jimcrow car is
still running; discriminating laws are
being enacted by 'our good friends"
in the Southern legislatures. Thou
sands of wrongs are being done every
day.
THE APPEAL believes that the
newspapermen have made a very SER
ious mistake in this the greatest crisis
since the civil war. We should al
ways protest against wrong. It is not
necessary to use violent or abusive
language; protest may be couched
in courteous terms
The principal mission of the colored
press is to aid in righting the wrongs
of the race. If it fails to do this
there is really no excuse for tic ox
istence.

AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD,


We congratulate our up-to-date con-
temporary the Chicago Defender on
it's new make up." It is chock full
Of news and. presents a fine appearance
We are especially pleased that the
Defender has adopted the word Afro
American as racial designation. It
is shame that it is necessary in this
alleged land of the free to differentiate
between Americans, but it is true.
Who has not bean disguised by the
use of the word Negro with small
m as is almost invariably the case
in the daily newspapers. Although
the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino,
Chinaman, Japanese are always capi-
talized, Americans of more or less
African blood have been described as
negroes" and "negresses," as if they
were wild animals.
In view of the fact that not more
than one-third of the Americans of
African descent are of pure Negro
blood it follows that the word Negro
is not correct, while Afro-American
would include people of various per-
centages of admixture and if generally
adopted the daily papers would be
compelled to capitalize it. The word
Afro-American has been used by THE
APPEAL for thirty years.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-03-21

It has been the boast of the white
South and the cringing Afro-American
towards who approve everything that
the white South says, that there is no
color line in labor and that white and
black mechanics work together on the
same buildings, etcetera. Even that
has been changed to a great degree
and now it seems that demagogue
Blease, the brutal governor of South
Carolina has had a bill introduced
which provides that "the two races
shall not be permitted to engage in
the same work at the same time at
any place or in any manner what
soever." --.....- -.-
The law is to apply to schools,
Sunday schools, hotels, eating houses,
hospitals, nurses in private homes
