From Florida Alone 10000
Negroes Are Said to Have

points, particularly Ohio, Indiana anc
Illinois, to take employment offered them
en- bloc during the past two or three
months, the department of Justice has
been informed. Other states, including
Virginia, the Carolinas and Alabama
have contributed to the exodus. All such
movements are being investigated by the
department and almost the entire staii
of specialagents is working on the migra-
ton, to guard against election frauds u
other violations of law.
Many large parties have gone by spe-
cial train, many Of them through Louis
vile, which accounts for special instruc-
tons given to the United States attor .
ney there to report on names, points of
origin and destination of men moving IN
large blocks to the north.
Officials are disposed to believe that in
most cases the movement has nothing to
do with the election and to be caused by
casual industrial developments. Reports
to the department tend to indicate that
the railroads, confronted with unprece-
denied traffic. are bringing out most Of
these men.

"Airplane" Is Official
Name Selected for All
Heavier-Than-Air Craft

Washington. October 2&-The name
aeroplane. to designate heavier-than-air-
craft, has been discarded officially by
the national advisory committee for
aeronautics. In report just issued on
Nomenclature for Aeronautics," the
name airplane Is substituted for any
form of aircraft heavier-than-air which
has wing surfaces for sustaination with
stabilizing surfaces, rudders for steering,
and power plant for propulsion through
the air" The landing gear may be
suited for either land or water use.
An introduction of the report says ii
is issued to eliminate Implications and
erroneous use of aeronautical terms. Only
new terms, peculiar to aeronautics, are
defined in the appended list Of 142 words
and phrases.
Examination of the preferred terms
shown, indicates that an effort has been
made to eliminate also all foreign words
which have come into use through the
developments of aircraft. Most OF these
are French. Very few such words have
been retained, however, even such terms
as volplane being discarded in favor OF
glide and volpique rejected for nose-dive.
One French term retained is cabre which
is defined as meaning the flying attitude

Dothan Threatened With
Serious Coal Shortage

Dothan, October Special --Dothan
Is threatened with coal shortage which
will tie up the municipal water and light
plant and leave the city without water
and in darkness unless the situation is
relieved. On account of the scarcity of
railroad cars the city's shipments Of coal
have been cut off and at present the
supply on hand will only last 10 days
So grave has the situation become that
City Clerk r. W. Lisenby has gone to
Birmingham to see what can be done to-
ward getting relief. Agents of the Coast
Line and Central of Georgia are also co.
operating with the city in an effort to
relieve the situation.
Another trouble the city has run into
with its coal supply is that long term
contract with a Birmingham firm for coal
at low rate has not been filled by the
company. The price of coal has advanced
from $1.75, the contract price, to $780,
and the coal company has refused to
make further shipments on its contract
1t is possible that suit may be entered
for the amount of contract and damages
If the matter is not adjusted otherwise
