NEW COLORED
SCHOOL BUILDING

Returned to Those Re-
sponsible For It.

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in your val
liable paper to say a word about our
colored high school. which has recent
lv been completed, in lieu of the one
consumed by fire in April, 1913. Words
are inadequate to express the thanks
due the executive powers of the city,
the school officers and all friends OF
negro education and development
who saw fit and appropriated means to
erect such a commodious and spacious
building. supplied with electric lights,
its breezy hall, its folding doors,
rooms and ample supply of hydrant
water. Our city is filed with a host
of good white officers and citizens
whose hearts are always ready to as
sist and aid the negroes when they
do right and try to help themselves.
Our people, far and near, will see that
the colored people in Bryan and Bra
zos County are surrounded with some
OF the best white people in the Lone
Star State. We (the negroes) are a
penniless race, whose support and
protection is solely dependent on our
superior race, but when placed in the
midst of such white people our hopes
are renewed. For instance, we have

Gently. How that dog got into the
family, 1 don't know. Each member OF

am sorry they got that dog by the
time we had had him a week.
There was never any way of tell
ing who was responsible for his pres
ence with us. No one claimed the
credit Of 1t.
I'VE disposed Of him because he
took a piece out of a mans trousers.
It was a peddler's trousers. 1t Is a
bad thing to let a dog bite a peddler.
1.-The peddler stormed up to my door
a day or SO after the event and In
formed me that he had been in the hos
pital a week, and that l must pay his
hospital expenses; also his doctors
bill; also for the time he had lost from
his vocation; also for the pants which
my dog had ruined.
when l asked to see his receipts
from the hospital and doctor he offered
to compromise on my paying IS for
the damage done, his trousers. Of
fered to pay the five, but insisted on
immediate delivery of the garment.
"He was unable to deliver the goods,
SO 1t cost me nothing. Still, 1t was a
narrow escape, and l decided that !
had better either acquire a lawyer or
get rid of the dog.
while I was bordering a man went
by all dressed up in a beetle-tailed
coat, with while gloves on like a pail
bearer ready to dance the tango, n
the dog fell for him. The apples in the
Garden Of Eden didn't look near as
good to Adam as that man did to my
dog, and he got a chunk out OF the
black legs Of that man.
"The tango dancer had a fiery dis
position, and what he proposed was
not to sue, but to lick the owner OF the
dog Immediately. This made me very
uncomfortable, indeed. / hid In the
cellar until the storm blew over.
I'VE got a muzzle for the dog after
that, and then he scratched up the
neighbor's geraniums. We consoled
ourselves that he vas a good Watcn
dog, anyway, but n night a burglar
got into the house and stepped on him.
and that scared the creature so Dadly
that we had to let him sleep IN inc
bed with us after that.
I'VE tried keeping him in the sneo'
but he dug out in the night and AFTER
announcing his presence by licking US
Oh the face, he crawled in with u.s.

Tn. Camera In War.

II Gettysburg were fought today the

Perhaps the talking machine would

There would be a moving picture
worth looking at-flms Keeling on

l wonder II our Victor friends could
reproduce a sound as great as the
combined rosr Of Lees and Meade's

But even with the daring scouts
high in air taking photographs Of the
enemy's positions, and with cameras
and monographs reproducing battles
for Preside consumption, war finally
