Representative Albert IT. Langworthy of Westerly introduced a resolution in the house of representatives Thursday to allow the State Armory in Wester- ly to be used for poultry show on December Ia, 20. 31. g and 2s, 1916. The resolution was sent to the corn- Ynittee on militia For the past three years the South County Poultry and Pet Stock associations used the armory for it's annual exhibition Two years sides the use of thearnory for the show, but last year the appropriation was cut to $500.
 When the special train which runsi between Westerly and New London Midway, pulled out Thursday morn ing, only five men out of TO were. aboard At about 6 o'clock in the morning the men gathered at the sta ton and conference was held on the calling of a strike. Sixty of the men wages and five others who held out for some time were finally won over by the strike agitators. The men who refused to join the strikers boarded the special train while it was on the sid ing in the freight yard. The strik- CTS claim that they have to spend con siderable, time at Midway waiting for the special train to pull out for Vest erly after they have completed their work and they ask for overtime. The trouble was anticipated by the off, cials of the New Haven road. so a de- tectiye was sent to Westerly Thurs day morning. He secured the services of Officer Fred T. Mitchell of the Westerly police force, but there was TO disorder.
 The sale of the lumber yards and buildings of Babcoek and Wilcox to the R. A. Sherman Sons company, pre- vious1y announced in this column, gives the purchasers an equipment which will make their plant the larg- est in Southern Rhode Island. The yards of the Babcock and Wilcox com pany are situated adjacent to the Sherman yards. so that the company will have considerable more dockage on the Pawcatuck river. The dis continuance of the firm of Babcock and Wilcox will mark the closing of one of Westerly's we'll known business con- cerns of over 20 years standing. The firm was established in 1889 at its present Iocation on Main street. Her bert c. Babcock, the senior member Of the firm went to work for w. and 1T. Langworthy in 1873 and continued with that concern for several years. Tn 1896 MT. Babcock entered into partner ship with Frank N Wilcox. now a coal dealer in Pawcatuck. MT.

Cause of Labor Exodus From the South
Out from Savannah, Ca. recently
there has come a strong wailing pro
test against the efforts of some north
ern agencies, which the writer of the
protest claims are Turing the colored
laborers north at an alarming rate,
Draining the south of Negro workers,
the letter says. and to It is due the I'M
settling of labor conditions. Be this
as 1t may, let no one be deceived as
to the exact cause of the great exodus
of colored people from the south. says
N. B. Dodson. In this connection
many injustices to the race must be
borne in mind, and among them are
lynching, segregation, low wages and
the political crucifxion of the colored
voters of the south. The generation
OF young, educated eolored men Of the
present win no longer continue to sub

EVANGELS OF GREATER
AND BETTER GEORGIA

That the county farm agent is the
hope of Georgia farmers in combating
the boil weevil and saving agriculture
in the state from decay, is eloquently
voiced by President G. ]. Haden of the
State Chamber of Commerce, who de-
scribes the county agents as the
"Evangels Of Greater and Better
Georgia" President Haden is very
anxious to save the tenant class Of
farmers from the disasters of the boil
weevil. The county agents, by hold
ing group, or field meetings, of farm
ers in every community, has oppor.
tunities that is possible for. no one
else to have. for helping the tenant
farmers through the distress that con.
fronts them. Such meetings are be.
ing held and have been held for sew
eral years, and Georgias tenant class
of farmers has been prepared for the
boil weevil as probably the tenant
farmers of no other state, which has
been invaded by the weevil. Those
counties which do not have county
agents, Of course, are not so well pre-
pared.
